85 – Same purpose, different goals (6)

The interior of the concert hall is already in disarray and looks as if it will collapse at any moment.

There, a boy faints after performing his duty as a hero, and a villain woman awaits death after being influenced by him and reforming.

Clap clap clap clap…

“Is that your choice?”

The boy who was watching the scene continued to hear applause.

“…Huh?”

“You really can’t tell what’s ahead in this world.”

The boy, who was watching a dramatic and touching scene like a movie, applauded and laughed heartily.

“You.”

“Nowhere else has there been an ending like this.”

“Repentance…!”

It was truly unexpected. Because he couldn’t find an ending like this in the game stories he knew.

“Why here…!”

“Why did you come here? hahahaha. hahahahaha!”

Hyunwoo laughed out loud as he looked at Yumi who was glaring at him.

“I’ll ask the opposite. “Is there any reason why we shouldn’t come here?”

“What-“

“A stage created by the evil brigade. A battlefield where heroes fight villains. “Is there any reason why we won’t show up there?”

Repentance is an organization created to stop the evil brigade. But is there any reason not to come to the place where the evil brigade is trying to spread?

“…Are you trying to kill me?”

“I know very well.”

“You came to this place full of heroes for just that reason?”

“That’s right.”

At Hyunwoo’s words, who slowly nodded and approached her, Yumi opened her eyes wide and shouted.

“Are you crazy…?”

I’m truly crazy. No matter how much they planned, this is a place full of heroes. But do you think it makes sense for him to come here now, threatening to kill one of you?

“That means I overestimated the four years. Well, it’s all useless now.”

Her doubts are also understandable. Of course, no matter how many enemies there are, it would be crazy to approach in a situation where you could be caught.

But from Hyunwoo’s perspective, she knew that if Hangyeol wasn’t there right now, the world would be ruined, and Yumi just doesn’t know that – she wouldn’t believe anything he said anyway. Because only he knew that this was a game world.

“…Has become useless?”

“Okay. “It’s no longer useful.”

However, it didn’t mean much because he didn’t even know that the ending would end like this.

“What does that mean? “If you put your mind to it now, you could tear me to death.”

“Haa… If you leave her alone, she’s going to explode and die anyway.”

“Wow…”

After sighing, Hyunwoo looked at Yumi and clicked her tongue.

I still can’t believe her actions. No matter how unfortunate her past may have been, she is ultimately one of the worst villains.

The monster that was smiling hideously at Han-gyeol in the game is now pushing Han-gyeol as far away from him as possible and trying to hide it with his own body.

“I want to ask you one thing.”

“……”

“Why didn’t you stop it?”

Besides-

“Those who are still brainwashed should be able to move, so they ask why they haven’t done so.”

“…What do you mean-“

“It’s no use playing around. “I already know your abilities well.”

There are still brainwashed people left. The veins on those people’s bodies had not yet disappeared, and they were still staring at themselves blankly.

No matter how much she exerts her powers, her brainwashing will never be broken unless she is freed herself. In the game, the main character, Han-gyeol, won, but those who were brainwashed afterward never returned to their senses – even after she died.

“What do you know!”

“-Survived the Great Incheon Fire as a child, but disappeared before his parents’ funeral. Afterwards, he was forced to participate in the Evil Brigade and was promoted to the head of the Incheon branch. However, it has been confirmed that she was placed in a high position due to her competence, not her performance.”

“…Ha?”

“They kidnapped people and performed a performance called ‘Execution Ceremony,’ and it was done solely for the entertainment of the head of the evil brigade – you were not the ones who actually killed them.”

She tells Yumi the truth as her face gradually becomes more and more distorted. To be precise, I was just reciting the character settings for her game, but there was no way she could have known that fact.

There may be some incorrect facts. Since the game’s story and present have changed, the past could have also changed. But it didn’t matter. It would be enough if he could make Yumi, who was filled with astonishment, completely believe what he said.

“How do you do that-“

“That’s not important right now.”

Looking at the reaction, it seems like the past hasn’t changed. Hyunwoo stood in front of her with a satisfied smile.

“I ask again, why didn’t you stop it? “It would have been difficult to reverse the situation, but his life could have been saved.”

“Because I knew that even if I resisted further, I would be defeated-“

“That’s a lie.”

“What?”

Yumi answered, but Hyunwoo shook her head and dismissed her.

“Because I didn’t want to kill any more people. Because I thought innocent sacrifices were no longer necessary. Or what, did you think it was okay to get caught if it was Hangyeol?”

“What is that-“

“I used to think it was strange, but now I know for sure.”

Twitching pupils, biting lips. As she looked at herself, her body trembling, Hyeonu smiled bitterly and faced her.

“I don’t know what Hangyeol did, but I was really influenced. Well, that can happen. To be honest, even I, a human being, was influenced by him.”

At first, I was thinking of just killing him. If it seemed like Hangyeol would win, he would just remove her body and retreat, or if it seemed like Hangyeol would lose, he would just pierce her and tear her to pieces.

Because based on the plan he has laid out now, he was able to fully succeed in that plan.

“Mr. Hangyeol…? Anyone know?”

“Oh, you didn’t know this far?”

However, now he is worried. Now that he thought about it, the villain Silence was a useful guy.

Group brainwashing is possible, and above all, they know a lot of information related to the evil brigade. The resource of mental abilities that did not exist for them now – and those who had reached 10,000 abilities were extremely rare.

“Well, anyway, it’s okay. “We can discuss any questions we have with each other later.”

“…Later?”

“Okay. “I have a suggestion.”

Are you going to kill him so there is no harm to him, or are you going to keep him alive and take him with him? Hyunwoo, who was worried about the two situations, finally made a decision.

“Repentance. “Do you want to come in?”

He chose the latter. The more pieces that can move, the better – especially now that the leader of the evil brigade is moving, which is different from the original story.

Of course, her choice is up to her –

“…You want me to trust the people who tried to kill me?”

“Things have changed between then and now, right?”

He did not even think that persuasion would fail since he already knew all the information.

Hyunwoo grinned and extended his hand to her, and Yumi swallowed her dry saliva and glared at him with her eyes filled with distrust.

“Since you were influenced by Han-gyeol, you wouldn’t want him to die, right?”

“Threat-“

“What is a threat? Just saying it like that. “Heroes – that is, proper heroes – do not just watch until they change the world, but take action and help.”

Repentance is a group that thinks they will fix the world. Although they have a hatred for the evil brigade, their ultimate goal is to exterminate villains who are social evils.

“I killed people-“

“It’s the same for us too.”

Of course, even if they want to correct the world, because they are a group of villains, the experience of murder is not a big problem. I don’t know if it’s actually better.

“…I was a member of the evil brigade?”

“I’m sorry, but there are quite a few guys on our side who were part of the evil brigade. “If you tell the situation and say you betrayed me, there will be people who will sympathize with you, but no one will criticize you.”

Although Zero, Su-a, and Eugene were test subjects, they were members of the Evil Brigade, and Sang-hoon was a villain who was active in the Evil Brigade. Those who voluntarily took the lead and acted as a stooge might not know this, but she is quite charming.

What does repentance mean in the first place? It has many meanings, but ultimately it means repentance. No matter the past, as long as the intention is right – even now, if you change your mind and join, accepting it is repentance.

“…Even if I end up joining your group, there are still things that Hangyeol dislikes.”

“That’s not true. But- BEFORE I even entered the prison! “There are times when the right answer is to take direct action rather than just watch and pray, rather than explode and die.”

“…Isn’t it the same as dying anyway? “If you betray, you explode and die-“

“I’m sorry, but there are many people in Repentance who belong to the evil brigade? “Shouldn’t it have already exploded in the first place when you decided not to brainwash him now?”

I continue to deny it, but my words gradually lose their power. She probably knows. At this moment, she is a genius in her own right.

“Make a decision quickly. “You don’t have that much time?”

“But, but-“

But he just keeps hesitating and won’t let go.

What is she worried about? It was obvious to her without even looking at it. She must be worried about the evil brigade and their leader.

Blessed grace? Or the thought that he might mess with Han-gyeol in his anger over the repercussions of her actions? That fear?

“What are you so worried about?”

“……”

“Because you think that since he took you away, you can’t betray him?”

“……”

The silence continues. Was that correct?

Isn’t that really funny? If you already thought that way, wouldn’t brainwashing Hangyeol have been the right answer? Or is it that even though you can’t touch Hangyeol, you still feel bad about completely betraying the evil brigade?

“True. That’s a stupid idea. “It’s been a long time since you betrayed me anyway, but you still have those thoughts?”

“…Watch your mouth.”

“No, that’s really funny. Or do you really not know?”

“…What-“

In that case, all you have to do is let her know that she is not betraying in the first place.

“Even though the Incheon Great Fire was a terrorist attack intentionally created by the evil brigade?”

Because she, she was never betrayed in the first place.
