by fnovelpiaBeep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
A quiet hospital room where only regular beeping can be heard.
Ruina bowed her head and stood guard over Seong-Hoon’s hospital bed, who had just finished surgery.
“I’m sorry.”
Next to her.
Team leader Lee Tae-seok, dressed in a suit, took off his sunglasses and bowed 90 degrees to Ruina.
“It is entirely our fault for creating a loophole in surveillance. We have nothing to say.”
“… … … … .”
As soon as Sunghoon was attacked, a large number of people in black suits rushed into the restaurant.
But none of them.
The villain who stabbed Sung Hoon was not caught.
The only consolation was that Sunghoon’s life was not in danger thanks to the emergency treatment he received with the help of the agents.
After that, the restaurant was closed for emergency reasons.
Seong-Hoon was rushed to the hospital via the fastest route and underwent surgery safely.
“Blaze?”
“After receiving treatment, she is waiting in the office building at the agency’s persuasion. She will definitely not look like a hero with blood rushing to her head.”
“A heroic appearance… … .”
Ruina’s dead eyes glanced at Team Leader Itaeseok.
“I’m not a hero or anything. Does that mean I can run wild?”
“… … … … .”
Taeseok couldn’t answer.
“My love said so. If I go back to my old self, we have no choice but to break up. That’s why I suppressed it no matter what happened.”
Ruina reached out her hand sideways.
Soon, the small vase she had touched shattered into pieces.
“Without this person, I can’t hold anything in my hand. I can’t do anything without this person. I can’t live as myself anymore… … .”
Soon, Ruina’s shoulders began to shake violently.
Round tear stains continued to appear on the blanket covering Seonghun.
“So, Team Leader. If you really feel sorry for us, let me go back to being ‘me’, even if just for a moment.”
Taeseok suddenly heard a cold word from Ruina, who had been sobbing silently.
Taeseok tried hard to look away.
I asked Ruina quietly.
“Is that a threat as a villain?”
“… … … … Please.”
To that heavy question, Ruina answered with the polite language she always used only towards her lover.

Cool air.
A strong, irritating alcohol smell.
It feels like my whole body is floating, as if I have a cold.
“You’re not dead… … .”
I opened my eyes slightly and immediately realized that I was in a hospital room.
The stinging sensation on the stomach area suggests that the staffer had stabbed him properly.
He proudly received a license as a hero handler, but he passed out immediately after being stabbed once.
What should I say to those who see my ugly appearance… … .
“Hmm?”
I felt a presence in the previously quiet single-person hospital room.
As I turned my head heavily, I saw someone standing at the window through which the clear moonlight poured in.
“… …Ruina?”
A hooded coat that covers your body shape while being loose.
A white mask with only eye holes, giving off a strange feeling for some reason.
That was the image of my girlfriend that I originally remembered.
“Ruina… Hey?”
I called her again, but she half turned her back and didn’t respond at all.
I just quietly stared out the blue, dark window.
“Ruina… … . I don’t know what you’re trying to do right now… … .”
“Don’t say anything more.”
While we were talking.
Finally, an answer came from the other person.
But the voice was heavily distorted.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
The SSS-class most vicious villain approached me right away.
Since she was shorter than me, I was usually looking down on her.
This time, the composition was such that she was looking down at me as I lay down.
After a while, she gently touched the side of the mask.
Then, as if by an automatic door, the mask slid in behind her hood.
Her expression, revealed behind the mask, was covered in dark shadows.
“Oh… . There was such a function.”
“Ex Machina made this in a hurry. It even has a voice changer function.”
“I get a lot of help from that hero… … . Haha. Keuk.”
The moment I was giggling while looking at the earring still hanging on Ruina’s ear.
My stomach started to hurt so badly that I started coughing.
The expression on Ruina’s face as she looked down at me changed for a very brief moment.
His expression changed to one of concern, but soon returned to his original cold expression.
“Ha… . Haa… . I’m sorry, Ruina. I fell down so badly.”
Ruina shook her head silently.
“So… …. Aren’t you going to tell me what you’re going to do?”
“I have something to do as Ruina for a moment.”
“But then… … .”
“It’s okay. I already finished talking to you while you were sleeping soundly.”
Could it be that Team Leader Lee Tae-seok allowed Ruina to act like this?
Well, that’s true.
He had warned me to be careful, and then the villain attacked right away, so he had nothing to say.
“Ah. Now that I think about it, Si-eun… . What about Blaze? She must have hurt her shoulder too.”
“Blaze is being held captive by his own company.”
“Gam… …Gold?”
“Because both his arms were injured and he couldn’t fight properly, and his eyes were wandering. He was locked up because if he were to be let out now, he might do something no different from a villain.”
“For now, it seems that everything is fine… … .”
It was a bit of a relief.
Well, I’m not the type of person who would be defeated by a class A villain, but there’s a “what if” thing.
“Anyway, I’m really glad you woke up safely.”
I nodded my head weakly and quietly raised my hand.
Soon, Ruina’s face came closer and she touched my hand to her cheek.
“It’s cold, Ruina.”
“Your hands are so hot right now.”
He gently caressed Ruina’s cold face.
Ruina lightly held my hands with both of hers.
“I guess I can only use my hands like hands if I have myself. Hehe… … .”
“Ruina. Are you really going to go out like that?”
“Yeah. Are you disappointed?”
“I wouldn’t call it disappointment… … .”
I stopped talking, realizing what she was trying to do as the villain Ruina.
A villain, but not a villain.
That doesn’t mean he has any sense of justice or mercy like a hero.
A very personal revenge ghost.
That was the girlfriend in front of me right now.
“It won’t be of any use for me to stop you anyway, right?”
“Yeah.”
I slipped my fingers through the fingers of her hand that was holding mine.
Soon the lovers’ hands were clasped affectionately, and I continued speaking.
“Then there’s that. If I’m going to take my revenge on those guys, then.”
He held her hand tightly and smiled broadly.
“Become the strongest god of destruction.”
Crunch!
Ruina answered by putting her mask back in place.
* * *
“Ugh… …I couldn’t kill her… …. That bitch who caught Pale Rider… ….”
A diagonal crosswalk with a large number of people moving in groups.
There was a staff member crouching in the middle of it all, biting his nails.
yesterday.
She heard that Blaze was at the restaurant in front of the station and went straight there.
And it was nice until they attacked the hero who went into the bathroom.
But famous heroes were different.
How did you detect the sudden attack?
He quickly turned his back and parried the attack aimed at the neck, the vital point, with his shoulder.
“This was a once in a lifetime opportunity… … . Ugh… … .”
Although he was unable to assassinate Blaze, he managed to stab the man deep in the abdomen as he stood there dumbfounded.
Anyway, with his pitiful abilities, he took another life.
It was a staff member who found solace in that.
“By the way, it’s about time information started coming in from the team that was supposed to rescue Mr. Pale Rider… … .”
When she single-handedly targets Blaze.
Others in the study group were making plans to rescue Pale Rider, who was scheduled to be transferred from the Seodaemun Prison.
Since most of the prominent executives scattered across the country had gathered, it would be useless for even the most elite heroes to try to protect the convoy.
Beep be …
“Oh. I have to cross quickly… … .”
Before I knew it, I could hear the signal for the crosswalk indicating that it would soon end.
She was about to take her foot off the road, not even halfway across the traffic light.
“A-class villain. Stabber.”
“… … ?”
A distorted voice came from behind me.
When Stabber turned his head absentmindedly, there was a very famous person with his hand firmly placed on his shoulder.
“Uh… .Could it be you, Louis─.”
Crispy!!!
Soon, a thick fog began to spread out beautifully in the middle of the crosswalk.
“That, that, that!”
“Ru, Ruina!! It’s Ruina!!!”
“Why did you appear here!?”
“Run away!! Hurry up!!”
“Get out of the way you fucking idiot!! Don’t block the road and get out of the way!!!”
Citizens who saw the hideous and grotesque sight began to run away in panic.
It wasn’t just pedestrians.
Even in the cars waiting at the traffic light, people all got out and ran without looking back.
It didn’t take even 10 seconds for the once peaceful city center to turn into a living hell of chaos.
In an instant, the crowds disappeared and the middle of the traffic light became empty.
“Five more.”
Ruina muttered softly.
