Chapter 22 – [What Is Life, Just Living the Way You Live]
The first appearance of the masked hero, which was close to the Internet meme of Raccoon Man, began with rescuing civilians and firefighters during the Yeongdeungpo department store fire.
Reactions to him upon his first appearance were divided.
-What is it? What is that raccoon mask?
-Looks like a souvenir from Guardians of the Galaxy 3 that came out of the director’s review
ㄴ That was the director, Fedoshek.
B Pedo is dead!
– Why do you wear a mask? Looks like a force user, but isn’t it an unregistered user?
– Still, you did a good job.
-ㅇㅇ, I did a good job, but after a while, I saw this and broke it uphaha
– At the last minute, the reporter’s older sister said, ‘I got it!’
Interested comments, dubious comments, good work done, funny comments. A lot of things got mixed up, and a commotion broke out.
The raccoon man material, which was originally used as a meme, also became popular again, and a meme that exquisitely applied a photo captured from a video was created.
And the reappearance of Raccoon Man’s activities brought together many people’s opinions.
-Chamchamhaha
-Tuna lol
-Tuna warrior, what the heckhaha
-Douyu no tuna warrior? Better than Kimchi Warrior.
-Since ancient times, frozen tuna has been a symbol of maple stagnant along with Taegeuk fan and red whip.
ㄴ That’s a Zone 1 or Bronze Age item.
Besides, that’s a creature.
ㄴ I know that tuna is a living thing, right?
B Stupid bastard, you bastard who can’t tell the difference even if we ask you to tell us whether we’re carbon-based or silicon-based life, meaning we’re alive.
-Ughhaha, fight with that and eat raw fishhaha
-Tuna marbling does not come. Wikkol
-Ah, I suddenly have a craving for sashimi. Cold beer too.
-That tuna must be fucking heavy, but what is it like to wield it with one hand? What a dog.
-It looks like he changed his raccoon man mask. What is Iron Raccoon? Is it similar to Sunggil?
B Who is Seonggil?
B Star Road
– Ugh! It’s a flying raccoon!
-I am currently a chef at a restaurant specializing in tuna dishes. Personally, that tuna is the best tuna that has grown well. It’s a quality that’s hard to find even when you go out of the market, but I want to see the belly of that guy.
-But isn’t the article noona that was filmed before?
People’s evaluation of Raccoon Man was ‘geek’ in one word.
Even if he pretended to be a masked hero, it was a raccoon mask, and it was also true that he fought with tuna, not a weapon.
In addition, since a catastrophe that could have occurred in Haeundae was prevented, friendly views increased. Hiding one’s identity was also recognized as just a kind of performance.
After that, the brief interview scene was not broadcasted because it was cut by the upper line. Because there was also a sensitive issue with Japan in that interview, we took action in advance.
Due to this incident, the perception of Raccoon Man became that of a funny, unidentified hero.
However, if you look deeper, there are people who are struggling with what he has done.
“Huh…”
Team leader Cho In-hyung, one of the few people who knew that Raccoon Man’s identity was the worst, was one of them.
* * *
Team leader Cho In-hyung watched the news and let out a sigh. He prayed that things would be alright, but the world did not turn as people thought, so even if an accident occurred, a major accident occurred.
To get the worst opinion on the case, he went to the worst house again. This time he visited alone. Unlike the last time, they knew each other and knew that if they were careful, they would not harm each other.
“What have you been up to here? You don’t look busy, do you?”
“Even if it’s not because of the enemy species, I have a lot of work, but this time I thought I should visit, so I visited.”
“Because of yesterday’s news?”
“…….Yes”
The interview part was cut, so the story of him fighting Hibiki in Japan was not mentioned.
However, the facts of what he committed did not go away, and he was currently negotiating with Japan on the matter from the upper level.
The financial damage caused by fighting between Hibiki and the worst. And, including the fact that Force users from other countries entered the country without permission, they were heating up because of the compensation issue.
The worst part of the party, no one knew the identity, so it was even more exasperated that they could not ask for responsibility.
“Didn’t you say something to me before you went on your honeymoon, Mr. Worst?”
“……If you ask me that, I have nothing else to say. Honestly, I’m sorry. As an apology, I don’t have any honeymoon souvenirs, but would you like some tuna? Oh, have you had lunch?”
“I haven’t eaten lunch yet… Is that tuna, by any chance, that tuna?”
“Dongwon has leftover belly fat, how is it?”
“I don’t know why the tuna is called Dongwon, but if you give it to me, I’ll eat it.”
No matter how much they ate, two people could not finish a tuna weighing more than a ton. A significant amount of leftover tuna is stored in the refrigerator so that it can be eaten forever.
Among them, I took out a piece of sashimi that I put in the refrigerator, not the freezer, to eat as raw fish, and cut it out and served it. It’s only been a day since I caught it, so it’s still fresh.
“What are you going to do in the future? I said I could just keep my mouth shut, but now it’s going wild from above. Even now, I’ve been ordered to recruit a few sensor system users to capture Raccoon Man.”
“Don’t you think you’ll be finely caught?”
“That’s why it’s more of a problem. No matter how bad you are, you can’t win against the country.”
Worst of all, I smiled meaninglessly and quietly poured soju into his glass. It is a bit early to drink from daytime, but if the menu is sashimi, alcohol is a must.
“Ah, since we have to go back to the headquarters, give me a little bit… Anyway, why don’t you reveal your identity and come in as a member of the country right now? If it’s now, you’ll be able to finish it anyway. Side…….”
“I guess it’s recruiting after capture? It’s not a Three Kingdoms game, 1. Ranking 2. Liberation 3. Death penalty?”
“Then I choose number 1, do you have the heart to be hired?”
“Not at all”
Worst shook his head. He was a staunch doctor of denial.
“Being a member of the country has its own good side. I can act legally and receive support from the state, so I can do activities more comfortably than now.”
“I know that too. But I don’t do it because I don’t have trust. If the country is at a level that can be trusted, I won’t hide my identity like this.”
Trust can be built between people.
However, it is difficult to build trust between people and organizations.
“Mr. Worst… Is he a pessimist?”
A person who hates the world and believes that progress and reform are impossible. Such a person is called a pessimist.
“No, it’s similar, but no. To be honest, I could have been called a pessimist a few years ago, but now I have a different opinion. People in this country have the self-consciousness to fight for their own rights, right? You can’t hate a society like that.”
“……..”
Cho In-hyeong, team leader, recalled the impeachment protests that took place a few years ago. It was the result of the victory of democracy in which the majority of the people voluntarily gathered together to protest in a non-violent way and finally got the result.
“I don’t hate society, I don’t hate people. It’s just that I don’t trust organizations. I believe in trust between individuals, but I tend to not easily trust trust between individuals and organizations.”
“Mr. Choi Ak is saying you don’t trust the Korean government.”
“If I had been able to trust him, I would have been able to do as many hero cosplays as I wanted. With or without me, I would have been able to develop as much as I wanted.”
Team leader Cho In-hyeong poured soju into the worst glass. Worst of all, I emptied the glass and put a piece of tuna sashimi in my mouth.
“I like humans. There are few people who like humans as much as I do. People like me who have seen the bottom of human beings also know the goodness of humans.”
“Isn’t that usually the opposite?”
“Who do you think will deal with someone who has seen the bottom of humanity?”
Whoever opposes a hero is clearly a villain.
But on the other hand, the one who fights the villain is the hero.
That’s why I’ve seen many people who shine even in the worst darkness and fight to the end. So he could send his trust in humans.
“Societies and organizations are powerful just by their existence, but they also change individuals. The sense of belonging to an organization makes people arrogant and misunderstands that it is their strength. I hate those bastards. I hate them.”
“Are you talking about the people who abuse power?”
“Yeah, if there are bastards like that, I’ll beat them up.”
“Oh, if you do something like that, you’ll be in big trouble.”
“It’s a really big deal to kill.”
The drunkenness that had circulated secretly for a moment was gone in an instant. Team leader Cho In-hyung carefully drank cold water rather than alcohol and came to his senses.
“Don’t think that that’s all that you investigated about me. Why do you think I’m being mean to you, who is older than me? Do you think I just got this much power? Do you think I’ve never killed a person?”
There are so many doubts.
I didn’t know it before, but the force that defeated the Japanese master user.
It seems impulsive, but it is a belief that seems to have been firmly built up on the inside.
It is a part that cannot be achieved if time does not support one of them.
“In that sense, you’re trustworthy. It’s okay to think positively. I’m kind to my own people.”
“That’s… I’m glad.”
Team leader Cho In-hyung put a piece of tuna sashimi in his mouth. I don’t know if it’s because of the wasabi, but the sashimi seemed to taste bitter.
“By the way, let me ask you one question. What’s wrong with the earthquake alarm these days? It’s the same in Japan and Korea. The alarm didn’t go off at all, or the alarm went off just before the earthquake happened?”
“Oh, that’s a worldwide problem these days”
I’m doing it, but now that’s a problem in all countries.
The dimensional quake detector was doing its job, but the dimensional quake that occurred recently was quietly opening, avoiding the detector.
The damage caused by it is great. The damage that occurred in the last month was greater than the damage that occurred in the past year, so I could see how important this issue is.
“We need to improve the dimension detector and equip it with more precise equipment. Otherwise, the damage will increase in the future.”
“That’s why I got fucked more than once or twice. Dimensional earthquakes are such a big problem that I can’t always detect them.”
Dimensional Jin is literally opening a passage between dimensions. Worst of all, you can detect it, but you have to widen your detection range considerably.
It can be done, but it is too inefficient to use and carry around to detect dimensional earthquakes that may occur when and where they occur.
“Anyway, that’s a big problem, right?”
“Ah, yes…… That’s right”
“What if, what if. What if there is a seismic sensor that detects at least 15 minutes before the dimensional earthquake that is happening now?”
“Yes?!”
Dimensional detectors are nothing out of the ordinary. It is a technology produced by Dr. Allian, who is said to be the best in the field of red species research. A system that detects the twist that occurs when dimensions are connected is a technology that cannot be created without understanding its origin.
“Did you create such a technology?! The latest dimensional seismic detection technology?!”
“No, not me. I’m a liberal arts major, so I don’t know anything about that field.”
“Then……..”
“My wife made it”
Team leader Jo’s gaze turned to Shion, who was drinking coffee in the living room. A person who seems to be an elementary school student on the outside created a technology that even a great scholar in this field is wrapped up in the headache?
Rather, it would be more persuasive to say that the technology created by college students as an assignment is actually a technology at the level of a Nobel Prize.
Shion quietly came over and handed a USB to team leader Jo, probably listening to the story.
“Here is the recipe and blueprints for the new dimensional seismic detector. We haven’t sent it to the Korean government yet, so you can read it first.”
“Is that true?”
“I will only send it to the Korean government, not anywhere else. At least it will be a reward for what happened in Japan.”
Only reward It is the only defeat in the world that is a headache. In other words, it can be used as a joker. It is said that it is a technology that can be used not only in Japan, but also against the whole world.
To give it away for free is to ask the worst to shut up what he did as a raccoon man.
“Madam. If this technique was made by you, please use that talent in the country……”
Kwajik!!!
The drinking glass that Worst was holding was smashed and crushed. It wasn’t enough that the glass broke, it turned to powder and flowed down along with the alcohol.
“Shouldn’t my wife be included? If you want to do a fine search, you should? I’ve said it before, it doesn’t matter what you do to me, but if you do it to my wife, risk your life?”
A life that seemed to stop his heart at any second strangled his throat. At its worst, Zion is a wretch. If you touch it, you die.
He doesn’t care if he swears openly in front of himself, but on the contrary, if something happens to Shion, a catastrophe will happen.
From the point of view of team leader Cho, the worst is a walking bomb. A time bomb that never knows when it will explode.
“Anyway, what I did was to put this together. I think it’s okay if they have heads too, right?”
“What will you do if you take it and shut your mouth?”
“It’s like I received it. I won’t use it anyway. At times like that, I think I just relieved myself.”
“If you trace back to find the creator…”
“My wife is so talented that she won’t be able to track it. That’s for sure.”
“Still, isn’t there such a thing as an if?”
“If that’s the case. So if you come and bother my wife. I’m going to emigrate to the United States after all of you have turned this country upside down and turned it into a mess.”
“No matter how bad you are, you can’t win against the country.”
“Has Batman defeated the United States with national power?”
The worst… No, not his name, but the worst imagination passed through Team Leader Joe’s head.
The sight of a master class force user hiding and walking around and destroying everything. The National Assembly building and the Blue House are all destroyed, slowly disappearing, moving in an unusual way, eating away at the country.
A force user has power that transcends that of a human being, but he does not show great strength in dealing with enemy species to the last, and if asked to fight against an army, he cannot be dealt with as an individual. This is because they are not as resistant to physical attacks as hostile species.
However, master level users are completely different. Master level users transcended normal Force users. That’s why even in the state, master level force users are being monitored while being treated.
“If I reveal my identity, there will definitely be people who want to use me, right?”
“…Yes, it’s because I’m going to become a public figure.”
“I have some flexibility too. If I do something wrong, I tend to pay for it. To be honest, I’ve never had an accident in my life. Shall I show you my birth record?”
“No, thanks”
Team leader Joe’s refusal was a polite comment, but I had already seen his personal information while investigating, so there was no need to look again.
He didn’t remember everything, but he remembered it as an accurate evaluation. Contrary to the personality he occasionally shows, his school days seem to have gone smoothly.
“Even if you use me.
“………”
“But damn, among them, there are definitely some idiots who are out of ideas. Maybe because of the stupid preservation law, there are always one or two idiots in an organization.”
Team leader Cho said, ‘You are one of those people who are classified as idiots’, butheheld it tight. There was no need to make him angry.
“They’re trying to use it for some fucking reason, but if I refuse, there are people who want to get me to do it even if it’s not me, but the people around me. Then what do you think I’ll do?”
Explode
Before meeting Shion, if it was the worst, a precious person would be a friend. His bloodline parents died 20 years ago in the Great Depression, so his lineage was nowhere to be found.
He would help to some extent for his friend, but in the end it wasn’t as much as his family, Shion. Because she will be with her for the rest of her life, not as a friend to whom she will be cut off once she reincarnates.
“That’s why I look good to my wife. Sometimes when I’m not there, I buy a Korean beef gift set and say hello. Do you know later?”
“Oh, I’ll bring a present from next time.”
“Let’s assume that this story is roughly finished. If there is an enemy species that you want to be a little stronger in the future, call me. I will go and just destroy it.”
“Are you going to be active in earnest?”
The story that Worst said when he first met him meant that he would fight if he was an enemy species that was difficult to deal with.
But now, if you want to be a bit strong, that is, if you are a bit difficult, you will fight.
“I decided to do a hero cosplay, but I have to do activities.
“Yes, of course.”
Team leader Jo recalled the grades of the large enemy species he defeated in Japan and the large enemy species he defeated in Busan.
The Japanese side is a large heptagon (heptagon).
The Korean side is a large hexagon.
Neither of them was a good opponent.
Large species are heavier than small ones because of the physical force that comes from their size, but such large species were lightly crushed. Thanks to that, the damage was miraculously small. In the case of the Japanese side, rather, the worst and Hibiki fought more damage.
If there is an armed force that can lightly defeat even large enemy species, the task is to count the number of digits of the budget that can be saved with a single step forward.
“By the way, how did Mr. Worst obtain such power? Modern master users have gained that power by training since the Great Depression, so I can understand it, but aren’t you?”
“Let’s talk about that later. It’s a bit much to do while drinking.”
There is no reason to hide the fact that he is a reincarnated person, but it is not easy to tell without seeing it a few times.
Besides, if we wanted to talk about it, we would have to talk about Zion, so we decided to get to know each other a bit more later.
Team leader Jo, who thought he would only drink a little, got up after drinking several kilos of tuna and four bottles of soju.
“Ugh, I drank well. The tuna was also delicious. I had a good lunch.”
“Next time you come to my house, don’t eat. How good is it to talk while eating like this?”
“I didn’t even know that Mr. Choi could be such a communicative person.”
After drinking a little and talking to each other, there were a lot of things we could communicate with each other. The two of them, who had become closer over a drinking party, ended the meeting neatly.
After all, men need alcohol to become friends.
