CH 73

It can be said that character interpretation is very important when proceeding with the work.

As I have read the original cartoon dozens of times, I’m actively using it because I know the characters’ personalities very well.

For example, in the case of Seo-eun, her thirst for revenge on the HanEun Group, I was able to use it well to recruit her. For Ha-yul, I used the fact that she cherishes her younger brother the most.

The same with Stardus. Honestly, I’ve done a lot of suspicious things to Stardus. I caused the terror, and I told Stardus to save them, and I took the stab for her.

If I did that to Icicle, for a child like Lee Seola, it is highly likely that I would have been caught right away.

…No? I think Seola already knows who I am. Let’s approach her later, this is the important point.

Stardus is a figure who embodies justice itself, so she does not compromise with evil. For example, when I was killing other villains in the early days, the public liked me. But she must have hated me. I’m a murderer who kills people as he pleases. As such, she has her own firm and unshakable view of justice.

I mean, she wouldn’t care what I do. Of course, I showed a bit of doubt about my intentions last time, but I think it was just a momentary curiosity. I feel like she doesn’t care much anymore. Maybe she’s forgetting about the Egostic? I mean, personally, I want her to remember me. It’s sad when I’m forgotten.

Anyway, the bottom line is that I have some interpretation of the people of this world. And based on that, every action is carried out. When I recruit allies, when I’m at odds with my enemies. Knowing their personalities, I can almost predict how they will behave in any situation.

And in this way, I’m recruiting a new colleague this time.

“…..”

Choi Sehee.

After realizing her ability since childhood, she grew up being forced by her parents to never be a hero or reveal her ability.

She has been restraining her ability for the rest of her life, but it cannot be restrained.

Like an overcharged battery, stress began to accumulate because it could not emit 100,000 volts.

The destruction instinct started because she was so suppressed. When she saw trees on the streets, she wanted to blow electricity and throw it away, and after living with it for so long, she started to lose control.

As she lived under stress every day, her personality began to get sharper.

People who don’t know well look at her outside and think of her as a bully. The reality is that it’s just an irritation caused by a restrained desire to use her ability inside.

After enduring it like that, after she became an adult, she lived by releasing electricity accumulated in her body little by little from the sight of people.

The first time she used her powers freely without guilt was probably when she met me. She probably felt a great sense of freedom. It must have been refreshing.

Actually, it’s embarrassing to say that she controlled her power like how she wanted because she shot electricity at the windows a few times.

The story will be different if it was her first time since birth, not her first time using it freely after a decade.

Once she tastes it, she can never forget it.

I know she’ll enjoy more pleasure with me.

Having tasted sweet freedom, can she really reject my offer?

“Hehehehehe…”

“Da-in, why are you laughing so hard?”

Looking at Seo-eun, who looked at me like I’m some weirdo, I thought to myself.

Just wait, Seo-eun. I’ll get you a real sister.

***

“You have points. Yes, please wait.”

A cafe in Seoul.

Choi Sehee, who was working part-time at a cafe, couldn’t concentrate on her work today.

No. Exactly three days ago.

‘Don’t you want to be a terrorist with me?’

“Crazy bastard.”

There was a time when the part-timer next to her flinched at her unknowingly muttering words, but she didn’t care.

What kind of terrorist do you think you are? I go through all sorts of things in life.

She snorted, but…

However, she became a little strange from that day on.

That sense of freedom when she shot electricity at him.

At the time, she didn’t realize it herself, but it was definitely a pleasure.

The coolness and exhilaration when she used it in front of others without hiding her ability.

The feeling is already like that when she used a little bit of her ability on one person, in front of hundreds and hundreds of people, if she used it to the point where she could test her limits… How good would it feel?

‘…Fuck. Am I getting crazy?’

She made an impression unknowingly.

Nonsense. Telling her to be a terrorist? How can she trust that crazy guy in the first place?

‘Yes, I’m not going to be a terrorist.’

***

That night.

When she came home from work, she searched about Egostic.

‘ I’m just curious about what kind of guy he is.’

Ego-stick, which was self-rationalized and recognized through the Internet.

He was a bigger man than he thought.

She didn’t know much, since she only worked occasionally in the store and heard news on TV or the Internet when he was terrorizing, but he was quite famous.

Currently, he’s the most influential villain in Korea, the only villain who has a fan cafe, and the villain who is more popular than most heroes…

As soon as she searches for him on the Internet, articles and posts appear so much that they can’t even be counted.

“…Was he this great?”

Why did this guy approach her?

No, before that, how did he know she had this ability?

With that question, she continued to read his explanation.

What she realized through this.

He has a lot of money, he has excellent hacking skills… And

In all the terrors he caused, so far, no one has ever been killed for any reason.

‘…Well, then…I think it’ll be alright, right?’

Her eyes began to shake.

In fact, from that day until now, once she used her cool ability, she became more and more intolerable.

She feels like her whole body is itching to blow out electricity.

Even if she stays still, her body will spark.

“Haa… Go away…”

She sighed deeply.

‘Think about it. Didn’t you always fall into great pain because you couldn’t show your ability? If you’re with me… You won’t have to hide your instincts…’

His words came to her mind.

Yeah, I don’t know how the hell he knew, but she’s tired. She can’t live and endure like this forever.

She’s sure he’s a completely unreliable guy so far, but still.

Next time he comes, she’ll hear what he says.

What kind of terrorism is he trying to do, what conditions is he trying to give her?

Let’s listen first and think about it.

It’s hard to control this urge.

“It’s been about three days… He said he’d be back soon.”

Will he come back tomorrow?

That’s all she can think about

.

***

The next day.

He didn’t come to see her.

“……”

The impulse inside is getting stronger.

She just feels like she wants to emit electricity wherever she goes.

It would be nice if she could relieve her stress by climbing up the mountain and releasing her ability, but if other people are not watching, her stress will not be relieved.

In front of everyone, there is a sense of pleasure when you show your abilities.

Having hidden her abilities for too long, she became destructive and more ostentatious, and without even realizing it, she steadily walked the path of a villain.

‘Tomorrow, tomorrow he will come’

The next day.

He didn’t come to visit either.

She was starting to think that something was wrong.

The impulse that began after that day began to grow unbearably large.

Now, she has reached the point where her body is itching to emit electricity even if she goes to places where there are many people.

If she thinks that objects around her are destroyed because of herself, she feels thrilled without knowing it.

‘…It’s not going to work like this.’

Egostic. He obviously said he was coming back soon.

When did “soon” start on the 5th? Why isn’t he coming?

…No way, did he just give up because she refused too strongly?

Yeah. she looked it up and found out that Egostic guy was a real piece of work.

Just by looking at the bridge terror, she can’t imagine how much money there is.

…Maybe he abandoned her and just went looking for other villains? Come to think of it, there are also many other people who are hiding their abilities. Maybe, he thought he’d save someone else.

…Was it a mistake to shoot electricity from the first meeting? Well, that’s unfair. If anyone is alone in a dark alley then someone comes up and starts a conversation, they would do the same.

“…Haha.”

She doesn’t think much now.

She’ll do what he says, and I won’t hurt anyone…If she can get rid of this frustration, it seems right to follow his lead.

So much destructive impulses and stress that her head was slowly out of normal thinking, and she was at a point where she could not keep thinking properly.

The next day.

Cafe.

“Sehee, are you sick? You don’t look really good today.”

“……”

“…Oh. Then… C-Cheer up!”

The next day.

At night.

As she walked home quietly, a man appeared in front of her.

“Hello, Sehee. Have you thought about my proposal?”

“I will…”

“What?”

“I’ll do it. Terrorism or whatever.”

***

……I mean. I’m sure I’ll be able to seduce you in a week, but is it that easy for her to fall already?

Looking at Choi Sehee with orange hair watching me with a mournful expression in front of my eyes, I questioned.

What happened to her after a week?

The members of Mango Union have been enduring it for 2 to 3 months?

Anyway, you have to grab the opportunity when it comes.

“I don’t know what changed your mind, but… All right, let’s go.”

I reached out to her.

She, without hesitation, held my hand.

After a week, I succeeded in recruiting a new villain.

Now that I’ve done with this, I’ll be able to carry out terrorism sooner than expected

Stardus, we’ll meet again sooner than I thought.

Two months? Two months will be quick.

‘…Seriously, you’re not dead, are you?’

“Haru… What else are you thinking…?
