Chapter 222

Korea was suffering from an untimely 'serial murder case'.

"A report has been received!"

"also? No, this kid doesn't even sleep? "You don't even eat?!"

Decapitated corpses are found here and there day and night.

Report calls come to the association from time to time.

Because of this, the Hunter Association employees were having a hectic day.

"Why on earth are you so eager?"

It wasn't really a fuss.

A world where serial killers are on the loose day and night, committing murder as a hobby.

But surprisingly, there was no confusion among citizens.

Rather, the prevailing reaction was a welcoming response and an atmosphere of support for the murderer.

-Hey! You did something today too!

-ᄍᄍ The news is late. You have already jumped 3 times today.

-Related article link) 'Vigilante Update'

-Hey! You really jumped 3 times!

- Busy, busy! modern society!

-You work hard. I respect you.

It had to be that way.

The bodies that were found were all either vicious villains or criminals worth dying for.

There were no exceptions.

Even if the body was not on the list of villains, when the investigation began, the criminal activities that were committed behind the scenes would be revealed without a doubt.

Day by day, it was being revealed that the criminal activities of unregistered villains who had not registered as hunters were

running rampant in the shadows.

In a way, it is natural that the popularity of a serial killer who searches for such people one by one mercilessly cut off their heads, and then suddenly disappear, is skyrocketing.

People were calling him 'Vigilante'.

There was a series of testimonies from citizens whose lives were saved thanks to Vigilante.

-Breaking News) "Thank you to the person who saved me."

-Interview video) "He is the savior of my life."

- Statement of conviction) "I hope you don't get caught until the end."

-News) Vigilante! Korea is now a villain-free zone!

- Haha, a vigilante group that we only see in movies has appeared in our country.

-The police and association hunters will be upset, but it's good because those who don't deserve to die are dead.

-Vigilante, I support you.

-222 I'm rooting for you.

-Please become a righteous murderer today as well.

Thanks to this, only the police and the hunter association were frustrated.

"You're really saying crazy things!"

"If it's going to be like this, why is there a law?"

"Don't say anything, don't say anything." "It's a crazy world where serial killers are popular."

The Republic of Korea was a country strictly ruled by law.

This act of ignoring the law and directly punishing criminals was clearly illegal.

There are serious crimes, and Vigilante was only resolving the punishment through murder.

Although the target of the crime is now limited to villains, no one can be sure when a Vigilante will suddenly start attacking good citizens.

"Well, still... ... . "Like this comment, they are still only killing those who are worth dying for."

"You bastard! "Is that what comes out of our mouths?"

"S-sorry."

"Use it."

These were seniors who got into trouble with new recruits who were crushed after saying the wrong thing and were unable to get their money back.

"No, why does no one know what's wrong with a guy who goes on a rampage like this?"

"You couldn't see it because it was dark? Does that make sense? "It's clear that they are hiding their identity just because they helped them!"

"First of all, it is clear that he has stealth skills. "It doesn't make sense that they are going on a rampage to this extent and there is no footage of them being caught on CCTV."

Hello.

Director Lee Se-hwan, who was leisurely watching the busy-looking employees from behind, leaned against the window with a cup of mixed coffee in his mouth.

Then I turned my gaze and looked out the darkened window.

"... ... ."

The world was going crazy, but mixed coffee was still sweet.

After a cataclysm occurred around the world.

Every day was a battlefield for the association's employees because of the urgent incidents and accidents that came flooding in every day.

As I ran around so frantically, I got promoted, my salary increased, and I even became head of the division.

'I don't know the history of life.'

Life goes on in such a strange way.

It seems like only yesterday that I had to take the police exam, become a new detective, and follow my scary senior around to catch criminals.

'... ... 'I've been thinking about that a lot lately.'

Criminals suddenly found dead?

I don't know why they're making such a fuss because it's such a strange thing.

'It was common in my time.'

In the past, many people even came to us and surrendered themselves, crying and begging for them to be

arrested.

They say that if you don't embroider, you too will be eaten or something.

'... ... Hehehe. 'That was a truly romantic era.'

It was Director Lee Se-hwan who was reminiscing about the glory of the past when the arrest rate was ranked first in the country.

Hello.

Of course, if I say something like this out loud, I'll be called old-fashioned.

Director Lee Se-hwan, who was just sipping coffee and sighing alone, was staring blankly at the glass door entrance, as was his habit.

As if waiting for someone.

His eyes gradually deepened.

This place, which was once the Central Police Station, was unusually incorporated into the Hunter Association when Woo Jin-cheol became the association president.

But only the signboard changed.

As he stared blankly at this place, the interior of which was still the same as before, faded memories that he had forgotten because he was too busy come to mind.

'... ... Where on earth and what are you doing, brother?'

It's already been over 5 years.

A legend in the violent world who was a heavenly senior and colleague to Director Lee Se-hwan.

'Detective Sung Jinwoo' suddenly disappeared.

Looking back, all the moments he spent with him were the brightest and most brilliant moments during my detective career.

He missed those days terribly.

'I'm sure you're doing well wherever you are, but could you please come back soon?'

Okay. There is nothing to worry about.

Because he was always a very curious person.

So when he suddenly disappeared, no one was too worried.

He firmly believed that he would have gone off to solve a case on his own, as always.

He did not doubt that one day, he would suddenly catch criminals like candy with a carefree face.

But it's been like that for over 5 years.

He still hadn't come back.

Squeak-

"... ... uh?"

For a moment, Director Lee Se-hwan could not believe his eyes.

Suddenly the door opened and a familiar face came inside.

Grab those guys who look tough at first glance like candy!

"Hmmm, brother? no no... ... !"

Suddenly he came to my senses.

Director Lee Se-hwan collected the words he had spoken in an instant, washed his eyes again, and looked at the other person.

He's too young to be Sung Jinwoo's older brother!

But that face... ...!

They look so much alike that it's hard to believe they're not brothers, huh?

"Uh? "Uh huh?"

"Hello. My name is Sung Suho. I have something to report... ... ."

"That's right!"

The association's employees couldn't help but be quite taken aback by the sight of Director Lee Se-hwan suddenly running towards Suho in a huff.

and.

Wow!

"Hahaha! "You are Suho!"

"Huh? yes?"

This time it was Suho's turn to be embarrassed.

Se-Hwan Lee was a colleague who had worked with Jinwoo Sung for a long time. He knew at least his son's name.

He also saw pictures from when he was young. Of course, it was his first time seeing him grow up like this.

As soon as he saw Suho's face, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

It was because his face overlapped with his father's.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I am in charge. Huh. "You are Sung Jinwoo's son, right?"

"Do you know my father?"

"I know. I was your father's direct subordinate, you bastard! Hahaha!"

Director Lee Se-hwan released Suho from his tight embrace and introduced himself with a chuckle.

"I see. hello. "My name is Sung Suho."

It was Suho who suddenly met his father's subordinate.

But if you think about it, it wasn't strange.

Just two years ago, this was the police station near the house where his father worked for a long time, and among the police officers there at that time, those who had awakened were assigned to the Hunter Association.

It was only natural that there were one or two people left who knew his father.

It was a bit of an awkward situation, but Suho first handed over the people he had caught to the association employees.

"I caught them on the way. "I think he was a villain, but I guess they didn't kill him because he was a common criminal."

"Hmm?"

The association employees tilted their heads at the words, which had a strange meaning.

A little later, he noticed that the faces of the villains who were brought in by Suho were terrified.

After comparing their faces one by one, they were indeed wanted miscellaneous criminals, just as Suho said.

'But why are these guys so scared?'

If you look at the faces of these guys, they don't look like villains, but rather like victims who barely survived the scene of a brutal murder.

"Oh, and if you go to this address, there will be a few corpses. It must have been reported a long time ago, so check it out... ... ."

"Could it be Vigilante?!"

Suho shook his head with a wry smile as he looked at the burdensome gazes that were focused on him at the same time, almost as if he was convulsing.

"I'm not sure about that either."

I felt like it would be a hassle, so I drew the line.

'Kira, this guy, how much have you messed up in the last few days?'

When he was sent out to hunt villains with Harmakan, the corpses were handled neatly, so it didn't become this big of an issue.

However, when Kira was left alone, he became a very famous person.

'We'll see later.'

However, it was still ambiguous to criticize the mistake.

It seems like he was worried that he would be scolded later, so he only picked and killed the people he really wanted to kill.

These miscellaneous criminals who remained at the scene are proof of that.

'For a moment.'

Suddenly he had an ominous feeling.

'Could it be in India?'

Kira is now in India.

There, as per your original orders, you will hide in Rio Singh's shadow and follow him around.

Rio Singh decided to remain in India for the time being to sort out the situation.

He also sent other shadow soldiers in the shadow of Liu Zhigang, who returned to China with the promise of a better future.

In this way, shadow soldiers had to be spread throughout the world whenever the opportunity arose, so that whenever and

wherever traces of foreign religion were discovered, they could be immediately dispatched through shadow exchange like this time.

However, looking at the situation, it seemed unlikely that Kira would remain calm in India.

'Well, I guess I'll figure it out.'

I had no intention of stopping him as long as he kept the line.

It was an established belief in the Hunter industry that for every villain lost, the lives of 100 innocent people could be saved.

Of course, this is also something I heard from Kira.

"Anyway."

Kira took his mind off work, and Suho brought up the real purpose of coming here.

It was fortunate that the person who was my father's subordinate seemed to be a high-ranking person.

Suho glanced at the name tag hanging around Director Lee Se-hwan's neck and formally introduced himself.

"Director Se-hwan Lee, let me introduce myself again. I am Hunter Sung Suho, the representative of the Woojin Guild. "The reason I came here was because of other business."

Stop.

"... ... what?"

Director Lee Se-hwan, who was just happy to see Suho's face because he looked like his father, his expression hardened the moment he heard Suho's words.

"You are the representative of Woojin's guild?"

Ah, this makes a different statement.

Director Lee Se-hwan looked at Suho again and Lee Chae appeared in his eyes.

I realized it a little late because I was overjoyed.

Come to think of it, this guy's name is 'Sung Suho'.

'Anyway, really... ... . 'I wonder if it's someone's son.'

He burst out laughing.
