by fnovelpiaSomehow I got in safely.
When the hero stared at me from the entrance, I knew something was wrong.
But you said you saw him because he was handsome?
‘It’s a little absurd, but…’
-Brother! Did you get in okay?
“Arrived safely.”
Anyway, since I got in, I shouldn’t worry about it anymore.
I looked around.
Everyone was wearing masks and fancy suits and dresses.
‘There are a lot.’
Perhaps because you can enter without being invited as long as you pay, it was more crowded than I expected.
Well, it would be nice if this situation could be hidden further.
“Hacking?”
-The hotel lights and the CCTV in the hall where my brother is are under control. We’ll have all the systems under control in 30 minutes.
“It’s okay to take it slow, just make sure you don’t get caught.”
-Just leave it to me!
“I will believe you.”
Anyway, I plan to break the thing later.
‘The auction hasn’t even started yet… It’s too early to start talking.’
The moment when the security guards are most nervous is when the event is just starting.
The response and reaction are also fast.
So if you start working, the second half of the event.
If nothing happens by then, those guys, as human beings, will inevitably become a little lax.
‘There’s a reason why in comics and novels, the villains cause trouble towards the end of an event.’
-Beep.
-I just need to teleport quickly.
Gayeon with a thick voice somewhere.
But Gayeon’s opinion was immediately rejected.
“Teleportation requires knowing the exact coordinates.”
You don’t even know where your target is, and you don’t even know what security measures are in place there.
Even if you reach the room where your target is by teleporting, if you’re unlucky, you might step on a trap and die.
‘Rather, it would be better to show up and snatch it when it’s up for auction, even if it’s a little noisy.’
“I’ll think about Polya’s opinion a bit more. For now, let’s wait until Narin, or rather Mr. Glitch, hacks all the systems.”
-…okay.
Although the chances are lower, it would be better to take it out quietly if possible.
After finishing my conversation with Gayeon, I looked around once more.
‘Five, six, seven… Are there really only seven guys around here?’
This time, it’s not about regular guests, but rather security personnel.
I wish I could rest before the mission, but unfortunately that wasn’t possible.
First, let’s figure out the power.
And you need to know where your weaknesses are and where your strengths are.
Step, step.
I started walking around every corner of the party venue.

“Guest. Did you see the villain here?”
“Ah, that, well…well, to be exact, he’s not a villain…”
In front of a bathroom.
The man in the hero costume turned around and looked at the trembling man.
A man whose eyes shake back and forth at the hero’s words.
His hands were shaking and his fists were clenched and unclenched, a look that clearly showed he was scared.
‘Oh my, why are you so scared? It’s a shame you’re so handsome.’
“Then what did you see?”
“A scream..! I was trying to enter the men’s bathroom, and I heard a woman screaming inside!”
A hero looking at such a man with pity.
“..Let’s go in first.”
Then the hero went into the men’s bathroom.
That’s what the hero went in to see.
‘What? There’s nothing?’
An empty bathroom with no one in it.
Plus, there was a strange smell around the bathroom, and I had a feeling it was going to happen.
‘It looks like the high-ranking officials have staged a revolt.’
“Haa…”
I was nervous for nothing.
The hero sighed and was about to turn his head at that moment.
Phew.
“Huh?”
A tingling sensation in my neck and a loss of strength throughout my body.
When I barely turned my head, what I saw was the man from before.
“You, you fucking bastard…”
“That kind of thing.”
The man had a relaxed expression on his face, making it hard to imagine that he had been shivering just a moment ago.
“The villain was here?”
“Color…Kkiyaak…”
‘I need to contact you quickly… I need to contact you…’
dump.
The hero closed his eyes as the water rushed in.
“I hope you are sleeping soundly.”
The Maker approached the fallen hero and pulled the communicator from his ear.
-Brother. Did you take care of it again?
“Yes, please.”
-Okay~
After saying that, Maker washed his hands and left the bathroom.
‘Is this fifteen?’
When I walked around the party venue, there were more people than I expected.
So, to make things a little easier, I lured the heroes one by one and put them to sleep.
It was a risky method.
‘As the number of people decreases, there will be more people who become suspicious, and even if they somehow manage to avoid being caught, the heroes will eventually decide that there is an attack and strengthen their security.’
But now, there was a glitch for the maker.
-You’re sending out fake signals. Unless you meet them face to face, you probably won’t know it’s fake, right?
“Well done.”
Glitch.
If she were to utilize her abilities to become a S-class villain in the future, something like this would be easy.
Her powers allow her to completely control and camouflage all digital communications, networks, and radio signals.
“How many hours are left until the auction?”
-Well, according to plan, there’s about an hour left.
‘Then how many more should I lay down?’
I thought it would be better to eliminate it if possible, because there might be unexpected variables.
Just then, as he was walking down the hallway.
Bam!
“Gyaat!”
I bumped into a woman.
“Oh, are you okay..?”
“Ayaaya…”
A woman who collapses helplessly when she bumps into the maker.
He froze for a moment when he saw the woman’s appearance.
‘What, this guy is here too?’
A fluttering green frilly dress and butterfly-shaped mask.
The woman’s true identity was the hero Phantom Luna.
“Sorry, I should have checked ahead.”
The maker looked at her and reached out his hand without showing it.
Phantom Luna stands up, holding his hand.
“Okay, okay! This is about it! Is it sturdy? Yes!”
She looked at the maker with a lively smile.
“Are you a guest? How did you come to such a remote place?”
“Ah, I got lost while going to the bathroom, haha…”
The maker smiled awkwardly.
Phantom Luna, who saw him, hit her chest with one hand and smiled confidently.
“In that case, leave it to me, B+-class hero Phantom Luna! I’ll guide you.”
“That’s reassuring.”
‘When I first met you, you were a lost child who cried a lot.’
Although he was not very trustworthy, the maker silently followed the path she led.
“Come here! ”
Phantom Luna, ahead of the maker.
Perhaps feeling a little bored with the quiet pace, she began to talk to him again and again.
‘Then what should we do..’
The maker, who had been responding appropriately to her words, was lost in thought.
‘Should I put him to sleep? Or paralyze him or knock him out?’
In this case, higher-ranking heroes are just annoying.
Moreover, the Maker’s purpose this time is only the materials for the elixir.
It’s easier to tie up the hands and feet of heroes who might get in the way…
‘First of all, it would be best to render it incapacitated, no matter what.’
The Maker slowly approached Phantom Luna.
One step, another step.
He activated this ability and created saliva coated with a powerful sleeping drug.
‘It’s an anesthetic needle that is set to disappear in 10 minutes.’
There is no one around.
Even if there is CCTV, it is already in Glitch’s palm.
Plus, the crime weapon disappears from the world in 10 minutes.
The moment the maker, who had finished preparing, was about to stab her.
“…But where have we met before?”
“…Huh?”
Phantom Luna turns around and looks at the Maker.
The maker then quickly dropped the saliva down his sleeve.
“Somewhere, it feels familiar.”
‘Fortunately, it looks like you didn’t get stabbed.’
That part was fortunate, but the question she asked herself was also problematic.
‘Are you just saying that? Or do you really feel something?’
It could be because of the similarity in clothing.
Although masks and suits are definitely different, the mask and suit are like the maker’s symbolic attire.
So what should we do?
‘You shouldn’t show any signs of panic or suspicion here.’
It’s not like there’s a story in other comics where you get needlessly flustered and suspicious, and then your identity gets revealed.
So, rather, be confident here.
“Oh, is this plotting?”
The maker smiled and joked with her as if nothing had happened.
“Huh? What..”
“That’s a flirting line that people often use. It’s when they try to talk to someone they like, even just a little bit.”
“Really?!”
“Really.”
As she said that, Phantom Luna’s face gradually turned bright red.
She continued speaking in a hurried manner, as if explaining herself.
“Ah, ahh.. That’s not the plot! Seriously, I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before…”
“I’m joking. There’s no way a hero would do that to me.”
Looking at such Phantom Luna, Maker laughed and tapped her shoulder.
‘Okay. I’ve distracted you.’
Phantom Luna blushed and lowered her head no matter what the Maker said.
The maker took a look around.
‘There are no people.’
I thought it was worth a try, even though it was a bit too close to the central hall.
‘Sorry, it’ll sting a little. Are you getting some rest?’
Instead, next time you attack, I’ll make you strong like the Ice Queen!
The maker, having finished his preparations, took the needle out of his sleeve.
And then, just as I was about to stab him without a moment’s hesitation.
-Okay! Now! Let’s start the auction!!!
The plan was ruined by a loud voice blaring from the speaker and Phantom Luna reacting to the sound.
“..Gasp! It’s auction time already! Shouldn’t you be going??”
“…Yes, I have to go.”
“Then let’s go quickly! Hurry up, hurry up!”
“……”
Phantom Luna pulling his arm.
The maker barely managed to hold back the sigh that was about to burst out from within.
‘What’s going on, Narin…’
You said the auction would be in an hour…
He had no choice but to throw away his spit and follow Phantom Luna.
