15 : What is the police in this world?

It was an ordinary day, a calm day, a gentle day.

The time when the villains and the supervillains who swallowed the city disappeared, and the people trembling with fear and cold waited slowly for spring with hope.

Everyday life, as always, suddenly collapsed.

“[ – hello. everyone. ]”

All the display screens connected to the Internet in Seoul, such as TVs, billboards, and mobile phones on the street, all changed at will, and a person’s face appeared.

There was no one who did not know the face of the person who appeared on the stolen screen. Because he was always mentioned when I turned on the news recently.

He made supernatural stimulants, infiltrated the special investigation team, laughed at the police, and annihilated the military. The worst criminal who controls supervillains. between.

She appeared on every monitor in Seoul.

From street TVs to electronic billboards and mobile phones, the face is exposed everywhere the Internet is connected.

People reacted differently to her sudden appearance. Some people tremble in fear, others simply dismiss it as someone’s bad prank.

In the midst of various reactions. Sai on the screen continued talking as if he didn’t care about people’s reactions.

“[There may be people who know me, people who don’t know me, and people who doubt whether I really am. So, I will post a brief self-introduction. ]”

“[My name is Sai. A number of murders and murder teachers. Committed civil war, distribution of illegal drugs, and other incalculable crimes. ]”

“[They created psychic drugs, threw the world into chaos, and ruined the lives of countless people. She is called the worst criminal in the world, but she is a woman who has no shortage. ]”

While continuing to speak in a cheerful tone. People were half-forced to listen to her and watch what she was doing.

In the video, Sai seemed to move away from the camera, and on the screen, somewhere in what appeared to be ruins, New Hope was seen tied to a strange structure like a cross.

The blood was tangled in his hair, and the hero, who was conscious even though he was covered in scars, glared at the gap with his red eyes shining.

What tied her up was something like a bright red wire of unknown origin. Even when New Hope struggled and tried to remove the wire, it only increased the scars on her body.

People screamed in embarrassment at New Hope’s savage appearance, who fought Sai and made her escape.

Because her appearance was that of a prisoner, far from the victor as the police said.

“[The kid here is New Hope. It’s safe to say it’s the only hope that can stop me. Although I was defeated this time, I will definitely be defeated next time I fight again. ]”

“[ so that. What I came to you today is. I have come to force you to make a choice. ]”

Sai was humming words of unknown meaning. She twisted her long bangs with her fingers and smiled pleasantly.

That smile was terribly out of sync with the wounded girl in the back and the ruins that left nothing behind.

“[ I currently have enough mutants left to destroy this entire city. The number is approximately 134. ]”

“[The ones I originally dealt with~ I coordinated all the supervillains that have recently disappeared. I made it several times stronger than the ones that have moved so far, so ordinary people won’t be able to win. ]”

“[If there is someone who refuses to make a choice after the current time or tries to leave or enter Seoul. All mutants will start killing indiscriminately. Everyone, without exception! ]”

Notice of unilateral murder. People felt suffocated by what Sai said as he waved his fingers lightly.

At the threat of death, saying they didn’t want any persuasion or conversation, people said they didn’t believe it or denied the reality, claiming that it was a hidden camera.

Sai snapped his fingers as if laughing at the thoughts of such people. At the same time, the screen changed and something strangely shaped began to appear on major roads and streets in Seoul.

In addition to the oddly shaped creatures that appear on the ground breaking the asphalt, there are also similar-looking monsters falling from the sky.

Quadrupedal monsters bigger than most buildings suddenly appeared out of thin air, and there were strange ones that started to fly through the sky and fly over the city.

It was a move that proved that Sai’s words were true and demonstrated that he could attack people at any time.

No, it wasn’t just a threat. In fact, people who saw them, panicked, and tried to escape the city of Seoul were all horribly murdered.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a child or a woman, a man or an old man.

People screamed. because I realized The runaway came back, turning this city into a prison.

That he was really ready to kill everyone if he didn’t listen to him, and that he was forcing people to make the worst choice.

“[The time limit is 1 hour. Voting will use the Internet voting method. Either you die, or let this heroine, who is your only hope, die. It’s your choice. Then a wise choice, I’ll wait? ]”

“[ . . . … I’ll wait there. where you rescued me ]”

I cut off the video saying the meaningless words with a very bright smile.

People either screamed or reacted in a variety of ways. But everyone who has seen the video already knows.

Even the military can’t beat Sai. Even the police can’t stop her. Even the hero, the only hope, is now defeated and captured by Sai.

People questioned what the hell the police did to make this happen, or screamed that it made no sense.

Soon, they had no choice but to recognize the options in front of them as the screen turned off and the timer began to decrease.

A girl’s life, or her own.

In front of a choice that felt nothing but malice, people pondered over what choice to make.

At this time, the lives of the heroes who have fought to save themselves and the lives of the people themselves are put on the balance.

There was one person who moved as if he knew what to do alone in a city that stopped in front of malice and violence that seemed not to be human.

He was a man with a tired-looking face and no special features. A man wearing a loose-fitting T-shirt, easy-to-move jeans, and an overcoat.

His name is Moonsoo Lee. He was still a man who was legally a detective in Korea.

****

I thought about it. What Sai said at the end must have been to me.

Kill Mina there, or people die.

This terrible choice she made was a declaration that she would destroy everything, whether it be society or anything else, as she had proclaimed before, and it was also a duel where she and I were to decide.

what good Because it was what I wanted in the first place.

I checked the incapacitating drug contained in the syringe that I always kept in my pocket. Syringe in good condition with no cracks.

In addition, I made sure that the handcuffs that I forgot to leave behind like an idiot, as well as the pistol that the class president allowed me to sneak out of, were in place.

All bullets are bullets. But that’s only 6 shots, and it doesn’t work on Sai.

It doesn’t even work, but I wonder if I should have brought such a heavy piece of iron.

I decided to think it would be good to have it in my hand.

If you go wrong here, you die, if you succeed, you live. In such a situation, wouldn’t it be okay to bring a talisman that calms my mind and body?

It would seem that there are burdens that are too heavy for a policeman in his mid-30s to carry, like the fate of this country, but I decided not to think about it.

After all, the people of my country, my patriotism, and my citizenship as a citizen of the Republic of Korea disappeared without leaving a heap of ashes the moment I went to the army twice.

I’m just going to catch criminals as usual. That’s all, I muttered as if brainwashing myself.

No, I was going to. It seems like it’s going to pierce the sky, and that doesn’t work either. I smoked a cigarette and checked my phone.

As soon as the video started playing, I got a call from Goblin and Yunari. Fortunately, the two of them said they had prepared everything I asked for.

All that’s left now is to fight Sai with the help of the two – when the hell are they coming?

The time set by Sai is one hour. 10 minutes had already passed waiting for the two of them.

Did he just say he was coming and run away? If that’s the case, it really sucks. For a moment, I took out my cell phone again to make a call right away out of anxiety.

A car approached with a groaning sound.

From violating the center line to reversing and speeding. The moment I came into sight, a black Starex that broke several road traffic laws stopped in front of me, showing the standard for a sudden stop.

The door swings open. In the car, Dokkaebi and Yunari greeted me with smiles in the driver’s seat.

“It’s not too late! I came as soon as possible- Uweee!!

“I came by car. I thought you would jump.”

“I think it would have been too late. A kind person lent me a car so I came here quickly.”

“The window is broken.”

“… … He lent it to me after the fact.”

“hey… … ?! If a person is vomiting, can’t you just pay attention?! You goblin are really fucking driving!!”

Why should I care if he’s about to throw up in my face? I got out of the car and patted Yunari, who was vomiting, on the back, then urged her to get back into the car, urging that there was no time.

Although the smell of vomit was very painful. I saw the paper bag she was handing over and decided to be considerate without showing it in particular.

“I have prepared everything you asked for. All that remains… … That’s up to the detective. What you want to do in the future depends on how the detective handles it.”

“yes.”

I nodded my head at Yunari’s words.

It’s a plan I came up with, and I need the help of the two of them, but I’m the one who decides in the end.

“however… … Detective. Do you know where the woman is? Wouldn’t it be dangerous if it took time to find out where she was right now?”

The goblin looked anxiously at the clock that appeared on the navigation screen and said.

It took 10 minutes for us to meet. There were 50 minutes left until the final time Sai said.

I honestly have no interest in what choices people will make or what results will come out in the face of this choice, which adds trials to the vocal rumors unique to Saira.

It is clear that one hour is not enough time for the police or government to react and move.

That means we’re the only ones who are ready to do something with Sai right now. If you spend more time trying to find a relationship, the results will come out before you can even fight.

but.

“are you okay. I know where you are.”

The background shown in the video was already a familiar place. Sai’s last words were to let her know where she was now.

“Let’s go to the Cheonho-dong redevelopment area. Sai is there.”

The place where I was kidnapped by Yumi Shin’s older brother, Yunshik Kim, when Sai first infiltrated the special investigation team.

Later, it is the place where Mina was kidnapped by the human-centered bishop and staged a sit-in.

Sai confessed to me. A cursed place that is tightly sealed even when the liquid is poured on it.

Sai was waiting there again.

In the past, when I lived near the redevelopment area, I often went for a walk in Cheonho Park. Are you completely shattered now?

Apart from the park, the owner of the land in the redevelopment area that has been smashed several times must shed bloody tears. While thinking about such things, I told the goblin the place where we would meet.

The goblin nodded at my words. Why? Even with the navigation system in front of it, the goblin was hesitant without taking a picture of the location it was told or stepping on the accelerator to start.

“… … Do you have a license?”

“… … doesn’t exist.”

“How did you get here?”

“The researcher gave me the road, and driving is like playing a game…”

“What is Sifal?! It was strange too! I don’t even have a license, so I drive like that!”

Somehow, when I came, driving was a piece of shit. I got out of the car, exchanged seats with the goblins, and drove the vehicle towards my destination.

It takes about 10 minutes from where I am to my destination. After that, I had to settle with Xi within 40 minutes.

Time is short, and we lack strength and power compared to our opponents.

In addition, it is clear that this fight will actually decide the fate of this country.

But when people are so overwhelmingly fucked up, I don’t feel fear or tension, and I laugh.

Fighting between a goblin without Mina and no driver’s license, and a researcher vomiting and getting sick with motion sickness.

Obviously in the novel, it felt like the final battle between Mina and everyone who believed in justice, but what are we? Comedian? Suicide Squad? Brahman band?

Whatever it is. It’s like an idiot, so I chuckled and moved the steering wheel.

Sifal.
