chapter 7
7 – Chapter 1. Living as a Villain (2)
At that time, Korea’s hero headquarters Busan district.
“Baek Seol-hee, is the report abnormal?”
“Yes.”
The S-class hero, ‘Snow White’ Seol-hee Baek faced the people in front of her eyes with a tense face.
A space without a single light.
The only light present is the light from the electronic devices, and the light reflected from the screen hanging on the wall.
This place, which is like an interrogation room and creates an atmosphere even worse than the interrogation room, is a place to get information from Seolhee Baek and ‘inject’ the information.
“Okay. Then I’ll make it clear again.”
Beep.
When the man in the suit operated the remote control, a video started playing.
-I tried to stop the villain executioner, Goblin. However, he uses a time delay attack to make Jung Gong-in’s head explode… Huh. It’s my fault for not stopping him. sorry.
“You’ll be known for what you said.”
“…….”
Baek Seol-hee never said anything like that.
But who is it that says that while wearing Baek Seol-hee’s face?
it’s a deep fake
“You can say it yourself, or you can process it with the video footage. Rest assured, we’ll take care of the rest.”
“What about Jeong Gong-in’s family?”
At Baek Seol-hee’s words, the agents looked at each other.
“Just this morning, there was a one-man protest saying, ‘Snow White couldn’t stop the goblin, it was Snow White who killed my son, not the goblin.'”
“That… we will take care of it.”
“Are you going to kill me?”
“Kill me. Such inappropriate words. We will show you smart and just actions. Persuade, and persuasion again. Whoops.”
At the agent’s words, Baek Seol-hee had all sorts of thoughts in her head, but instead of answering, she simply closed her eyes.
It’s absurd and unreasonable, but it can’t be helped as long as she is the hero of this country.
Unless you leave this country or pretend to be with this country.
“Thank you for your hard work, Seolhee Baek. Thank you so much for dedicating yourself to the country despite being on vacation. Not only our director, but also many patriots were moved by Seolhee Baek’s actions.”
“You mean get out?”
“…As for us, we’ve said everything. I think it’s going to be a more ‘deeper’ story from here, but you can listen to it more. But.”
The agent grinned as he fidgeted with his sunglasses.
“The moment you dip your feet in once, from then on you will have to ‘cooperate’ more earnestly than now. Seolhee Baek.”‘
“…I see.”
“I will see you.”
Baek Seol-hee feigned composure and came out.
Following the guide of the agent, you have to walk out for a long time, and the place you come out is an ordinary hotel lobby in Busan.
“I’ll take you to your room first. There are a lot of people around the house right now, so it’s going to take some time to deal with them.”
“Those people…”
“Reporters. Well, what did you talk about with the goblin? It’s gossip. They’re unpleasant people. They’re trying to unite Korea’s super hero and killer villain. Tsk.”
“…….”
Weave.
Is it a composition of good and evil, or a composition of male and female?
“You don’t have to listen to the nonsense of those who think it’s important to suck the number of views. The important thing is that Baek Seol-hee is a patriot for this country. That’s all.”
“…I want to rest a little.”
Baek Seol-hee pressed her throbbing forehead with her hand.
“I’ll show you to your room right away.”
“No. It’s not that break, I want to rest a little longer.”
“……What do you mean by that?”
Ding-dong.
The elevator stopped.
Baek Seol-hee took out her smartphone as she got off the elevator with a stiff face.
“I will positively review what you suggested three months ago.”
“Three months ago… by any chance?”
“Yes.”
Baek Seol-hee pulled out an email with a tired face.
“Sejong Academy’s skill combat instructor. …I don’t know if I should call him a professor, but that’s it. I’ll accept it.”
“Thank you, Mr. Seolhee Baek! Mr. Seolhee Baek’s brave decision will be of great help to peace in this country!”
The agent was overjoyed and closed the elevator door and went downstairs.
That there is an S-class talented person as a real-life instructor at Sejong Academy.
It does not simply mean that you can raise students studying at the academy.
That the number of S-class talents who can protect the academy increases.
It is the most important place in Korea and in the whole world.
It has more strategic value than a nuclear power plant or the Oval Office.
I wonder if anyone else named it ‘Sejong’ Island.
Originally, it was a land mass that did not even exist, but an island was created when a meteorite fell from the sky into the East Sea.
The Republic of Korea designated the island as its national territory, and defended and defended the island with all its might against any external pressure.
As it is still a strategic strategic point that many foreign beings are aiming for, Korea only hopes that at least one more person with special abilities will reside on Sejong Island.
“…ha.”
Baek Seol-hee went into the hotel room, buried her face in the bed, and lay down.
I expressed that I was going to rest, but in fact, it is like returning to a scene that is more intense than that.
It’s not that we’re dealing with villains on the mainland, but we never know when and where a strange villain might appear.
Above all, it’s a hero training center that raises ‘Jammin students’ who are intoxicated with this ability.
There shouldn’t be a big problem because it’s S-class, but obviously, excessive interest in oneself can cause trouble.
still.
At least you won’t see people breaking their heads, like in the case of the Red Scarf.
“goblin….”
Baek Seol-hee covered her face with her hands.
None of the videos remain, but even the remaining videos have been erased or manipulated except for the top-secret videos kept by the state, but they remain as clear memories in her head.
The moment the gunshot rang out.
The goblin immediately turned around and stretched out his hand to the side.
It is probably Baek Seol-hee’s obvious misunderstanding that it was an instinctive act to ‘protect’ herself.
but.
What if you sincerely tried to protect Baek Seol-hee?
“…huh.”
Baek Seol-hee frowned as she hugged the pillow tightly.
“I’ll definitely ask you later. What were you thinking about doing that? …Ah.”
Baek Seol-hee remembered.
“bike.”
I have to ask.
The problem is that Baek Seol-hee is now in a situation similar to ‘probation’.
“…you’re in debt.”
* * *
“New bike!”
I poured soju near the bike that arrived after the official delivery.
“Please let me ride safely without an accident this time.”
It is said that holding a gosa is a superstition, but it is still much better than not holding a gosa.
‘I will not lend it to others from now on.’
My bike was stolen by Snow White.
Of course, Snow White will also be on the move to compensate for the bike in its own way.
I’m not the type of bully that Snow White just shuts up and says she doesn’t know.
It’s just that now she can’t come up to Seoul because of the eyes of the people around her.
They didn’t even get my contact information, because they had to come to Seoul to recognize me.
only.
If I wander around where she is, chances are she will recognize me and make amends.
‘I can’t come up to Seoul, so I came to Busan.’
squeak, squeak.
Haeundae, Busan, where white seagulls fly in the sky.
As it is a neighborhood right next to the sea, it smells like the sea, but the atmosphere of the city is large and grand enough to overwhelm Seoul.
The real Seoul is in Busan.
The real Busan is in Seoul.
Seoul of this world stopped developing after the 2000s, and Busan of this world became a new capital after 2000, and the city developed rapidly.
Even if it is just the 123-story skyscraper that is visible right in front of you.
‘It’s a world where the Holde Tower is in Busan.’
It feels very strange to see a place famous as a skyscraper in Seoul proudly located in Haeundae, Busan.
even.
‘Even though I’m driving, I don’t feel like a dick.’
I get a bike from Busan and ride it myself, and the system is so organized that it is incomparable to Busan in reality.
-Do you know how crappy the roads in Busan are?! It will take years to redevelop this road!
-Proceed even if it takes years! The roads are like this, how can it grow into the best city in the world!
-but!
-If twisted, go to Gyeongju!!
-Isn’t redevelopment prohibited there!
-Even if cultural sites are destroyed, even our ancestors will understand if we say that Korea becomes the world’s strongest, surpassing the United States! Choose! I want to redevelop Busan, should I go to Gyeongju?
-We will finish all projects related to urban redevelopment within one month!
In order to be reborn as a world-class city, Busan entered a redevelopment project that lasted a year and a half, and this world’s Busan was able to grow into a real new city in the 2020s.
prices too.
“Excuse me. I’m looking for a studio apartment.”
“hello?”
There is no Busan dialect.
Because this is the capital city, so many people came down from Seoul.
“You’re from Seoul? Hey, you’re from afar. Where do you want to get a room?”
“It’s the safest place in the area. A one-room about 10 pyeong? It’s okay even if it’s a mini two-room.”
“Ah, that’s fine here.”
The real estate agent pointed to the poster at me with a bright smile.
“1.3 million won per month with a deposit of 200 million.”
