“It’s already morning.”

Kang Chan got up from his seat even before the notification went off.

Is it because of the pleasant guidance that happened yesterday?

My body felt lighter than usual.

The morning returned more refreshing than other days.

I turned on the TV, as I always did in the morning.

-Recently, there has been an increase in theft cases targeting homes where people live alone. The suspect is a woman in her 20s, and is presumed to be an awakened person, not an ordinary person.

Today was also a day with many incidents.

Accidents and other news that occurred last night filled the news.

He washed his body while listening to the news playing on TV.

I woke up a little early today, so I didn’t think it would be too late to prepare leisurely.

Well, it won’t matter if it’s a little late.

Since the world changed, the police have been suffering from a manpower shortage for years.

All competent personnel were taken out of the Hunter Police, and in recent years, the police academy was suffering from a widespread manpower shortage to the point where it was understaffed.

In such a situation, the number of new police officers graduating from the police academy and being commissioned was decreasing, and an era in which professional manpower was becoming scarce had come.

Therefore, when you reach the rank of lieutenant, you get into a situation where you can’t easily cut it even if there’s a noise inside the police.

This was the reason why Kang Chan was able to play the role of a lazy and incompetent lieutenant.

Hunter police did not only select hunters.

There were internal positions within the Hunter Police, and manpower was needed to assist the Hunters.

Originally, that role was played by the regular police, but after Victory Day when the gate disappeared, the Hunter police took over even that job.

It was a decision with a lot of discussion internally, but in the end, the police, having lost the battle for public opinion and politics, had no choice but to hand over a lot of authority to the Hunter Police.

That was the story.

‘It’s all thanks to that.’

Of course, a suggestion was made to Kang Chan that he be commissioned as a Hunter police officer.

However, Kang Chan himself rejected it.

What he wanted was an outside job. It was also the authority to command the field.

However, most of the jobs that ordinary police officers who are commissioned as Hunter Police officers can do are internal duty or on-site assistance.

Kang Chan didn’t want that.

‘If I had known in advance that the police would be so helpless, I might have made a different choice.’

However, I did not regret my current choice.

Thanks to you, I gained the power of perm and found my role.

After washing his body, Kang Chan read news on the Internet.

I had to read and analyze all the news that continued overnight.

Crime does not discriminate between day and night.

Crime did not disappear just because one was asleep.

‘Rather, if it increased, it increased.’

Many villains moved during that time when everyone was asleep and others were vulnerable.

It was probably like that this morning too.

This information should not be missed.

Because we need to know who committed what and where, we can guide and rehabilitate them.

-Five single-family villas near Seoul were robbed at the same time.

-One of the five victims is unconscious and in critical condition.

-Lukodia, Hunter killed four police officers and is running away.

-Five-vehicle collision on Gyeongbu Expressway, presumed to be an intentional accident.

… … .

Numerous incidents and accidents were featured in the news.

News about single-person household theft that appeared on TV was also posted on the Internet.

-Such trash needs to be rehabilitated by Master X.

-Guys like that can’t be caught. Hunters are also fucking incompetent?

-It’s not that Hunter is incompetent, it’s that that criminal is crazy.

└ㅇㅈ The hunters currently serving as hunter police officers are all people who ended the gate era.

-Then what do you do? I can’t even catch that petty thief.

└Then you caught it.

-He didn’t confess?

└Would you do it?

└Why? If Master X hypnotically brainwashes you, you will immediately confess.

– Oh, Almighty Master X, please catch all those rotten criminals.

The news comment section was filled with comments from all kinds of people.

Is it because it was an era in which we even went through the gate?

Now, villain crimes seem to have become a daily occurrence rather than a fear.

Most villains are just snacks to chew on for a while on the Internet and are not objects of fear.

There are a few villains who are truly feared, but they don’t appear in the news often.

‘Because he reveals his presence very rarely.’

Kang Chan sighed while looking at those internet comments.

Villain crimes have become too rampant.

It was difficult to keep it like this.

For peace, more villains had to be rehabilitated.

Suddenly, there was a piece of news that caught Kang Chan’s eye.

-Master X, who confessed to several villains, who is he?

There was a short article written about him.

It was not an article with great expertise.

It was just an editorial expressing curiosity about Kang Chan, who rehabilitated the villains.

Nevertheless, the number of views was higher than I expected.

-Isn’t Master X a great person too? You made villains who even the Hunter police couldn’t catch confess.

-How on earth do you make it like that?

-Isn’t this really hypnosis and brainwashing?

└Fuck off Tommy.

There were more comments than expected.

Most people were curious about Master X, whose identity they did not know.

‘It’s becoming known little by little.’

This is a story about Master X, who rehabilitates villains.

It was a desirable thing.

To the general public, it is simply gossip.

And as an object of fear to villains.

Kang Chan wanted his tinnitus to spread more widely.

Only then will the atrocities of villains be further reduced.

“Not bad.”

After changing his clothes, Kang Chan smiled with satisfaction.

Of course, it was just the beginning.

There are still only a few villains he has rehabilitated.

There was a need to rehabilitate more villains.

And if you become more famous and feared.

As a result, the number of villains will decrease significantly.

After changing his clothes, Kang Chan went to work at Jiji University today as usual.

***

“Elder, stop… … .”

“Why should I stop?”

The district was noisy with people today as well.

An old man was causing a ruckus inside the earthen platform with a red-faced face.

But no one could do anything about him.

“The house I was renting was robbed again today! The tenant came and said something? I got robbed by a famous guy on the news!”

The old man ran down the street holding a small note in his hand.

The police checked the note he handed out several times.

-I’ll take it well. UY

UY

These were the initials of a suspect who has been targeting only single-person households, which has recently become famous.

If this was really a real thing and it was indeed the villain’s actions, no separate action could be taken even if the regular police were dispatched.

Ordinary police officers could not step forward once it became clear what the villains had done.

So what can they say?

“Senior, calm down and ask the Hunter police officer in the next block over there… … .”

“These civil servants! Look at them saying it’s not their business again! Do you think I’ve never been there? uh? Those bastards are the same! I didn’t send you here because I wasn’t sure what the villain was doing! Huh?”

The old man who came here was very angry.

It was a building that wasn’t in very good condition, so there were only a few tenants.

Someone robbed the tenant’s house.

Not only are house prices falling, but tenants who had difficulty getting in are moving out.

But I can’t help but get angry because the police are passing it off as not being their responsibility.

The thought that I might have to bear all the damage myself made me even more excited.

So much so that my head spins.

“Are you still police officers? People’s staff? Damn, I’m so sleepy! What kind of cane is that that breaks when you lean on it? Freeze to death!”

No one could calm the angry old man down.

It was a time when all the personnel of the Earth Corps were confused and embarrassed.

“Senior, let’s have a cup of coffee and talk for a while.”

Kang Chan intervened between the old man and the police and held out a paper cup filled with mixed coffee.

“What is it?”

“This is Lieutenant Kang Chan of the Yuri Earth Team. I want to sit over there and have a chat. Hunter police said it didn’t seem like a villain’s act?”

“Yes! So I sent it here. But these idiots… … .”

Kang Chan, who came in late, saw Inspector Park and Police Officer Kim dealing with the old man.

Inspector Park cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

“It was difficult for us to go out because of that note you brought… … .”

“You idiots! Still, you should at least come and check!”

“Sir, that’s our job… … .”

Seeing the old man grinding his teeth, Kang Chan motioned to Inspector Park and Police Officer Kim.

“I will talk to the senior, so you can do your business.”

“But Inspector.”

They looked at Kang Chan and spoke with worried voices.

It wasn’t that I was worried about him.

I was more worried that Kang Chan would make some mistake.

Because Gangchan was a trouble spot in the Earth Valley.

“It’s okay.”

The two people who looked at him hesitantly returned to their seats.

“Elder, would you please give me that note?”

“Keuhum, it’s here.”

Did he think he could communicate with Kang Chan?

A slightly calm old man handed him a note.

-I’ll take it well. UY

Kang Chan confirmed the clues left behind by the villain.

Even the carelessly scribbled handwriting and the period engraved at the end of the words.

‘It’s genuine.’

Kang Chan saw another note left by this villain named UY through the article.

It was 100% similar to the note I saw at that time.

“Where did you first report?”

“Of course I went to the Hunter police. 122. That’s what the police officers who came to my house told me. It’s hard to say it’s the work of a villain. And I withdrew right away. I’m telling you to go here yourself.”

“… … Is that so. Did you show me the note?”

“Of course!”

The Hunter police probably didn’t know this either.

Because he must be an expert in his own right.

Then why on earth did they send it our way?

I had a doubt.

Kang Chan suddenly remembered the news he saw this morning.

‘Lukodia.’

A villain who killed Hunter and ran away.

Is that why work has become so busy?

I may have postponed this to deal with that first.

Unless it is.

‘It may have been annoying because there were many victims whose houses were robbed.’

So I guess they just handed it over to us.

The landlord’s personality was unusual.

I don’t know the exact reason, but it didn’t seem like a good thing.

“Then, old man, I will go there in person.”

“So you want to give it to me?”

“Of course. Elderly. The police are there to serve the citizens.”

Kang Chan smiled at him and said.

“They said no.”

“It’s okay. Because I have a higher rank.”

“I finally found someone I could communicate with. Hehehe.”

Kang Chan returned to his seat and approached Inspector Park Du-yeol, who was looking at him closely.

“Captain Park, I will be dispatched and come back.”

“Are you serious? If it is confirmed that it was the work of a villain, a problem arises.”

“I know.”

“… … .”

“I will take responsibility. Even so, it would be over with some punishment.”

Kang Chan gave them the kind smile he always gave them.

If you smiled as if you didn’t know anything, most people would let down their guard.

“And anyway, if I were here, there wouldn’t be anything to do, right?”

At those words, Inspector Park closed his mouth.

“I understand. Then even Police Officer Kim… … .”

“I will go alone. I told you. I take responsibility alone.”

It was difficult for police officer Kim, who followed along, to avoid it for no reason.

“… … I understand.”

Kang Chan went to the scene with the old man.

***

“… … You shook it off properly.”

“I got rid of all the household chores!”

The old man sighed heavily and spoke grumblingly.

As he said, the studio apartment was full of traces of an unfamiliar intruder.

Even after seeing this, the Hunter police just left?

What on earth are these bastards thinking… … .

“Then where did the tenant go?”

“I went to the hospital because I wasn’t feeling well.”

“Do you mean the hospital?”

Your house was robbed. Did you go to the hospital?

It was full of strange things.

‘That’s okay, let’s take a look at it slowly.’

First of all, Kang Chan took a look around the house.

And in one corner of the house, he felt a sensation that kept getting on his nerves.

What can I say?

Should I say it feels like I’m tearing my hair out?

Kang Chan looked at the place where he felt an energy that was bothering his nerves.

“Doll?”

What is that again?
