Kunoichi, Koharu Yuno, identified the locations of the victims of Master X.

If nothing else, they said that all four victims were recently found near Bucheon.

UY Park Eun-young, a puppeteer who was an A-level villain like Yoo Myung-hwa, an A-level villain who was a great conman, was discovered inside a glass sphere and was captured.

Sphinx Jeong Yeon-soo also confessed in Bucheon. He said he doesn’t want to commit murder anymore.

In addition, Imperno, who was judged to be a grade A or higher villain, disappeared after warning that he was attacking a bank in Bucheon and also confessed in Bucheon.

It was especially strange that the villains confessed to Bucheon.

The most recent three people were all caught in Bucheon within a one-month period.

The reason for reasonable suspicion was that Master X was based in Bucheon.

She focused her search on the places where the villains had confessed.

‘There are not enough clues about Park Eun-young and Yu Myeong-hwa.’

I found the location where the two people confessed, but I couldn’t find any particularly meaningful clues other than the fact that they confessed in a stupid voice.

As quite a long time had passed, the purity of the images produced by the ninbeop technique was also very low.

The same was true at the confession site of Imperno Hong Anna.

-Well, I came to confess. I am Imperno.

A voice that captivates me.

It was the same as the other two women.

The other thing is that the purity of the image produced by the nin method is a little clearer.

‘The female villains are not in good condition.’

Have I been mentally manipulated?

If that was the case, there was a possibility.

If he had been mentally manipulated and forced to confess, this reaction would have occurred.

‘Then why are you selling all your information?’

The information was misaligned here and there, as if the wrong gear had been inserted.

That was why Imperno came to the bank where he had predicted that he would set it on fire.

To check how Imperno was captured here.

‘It’s the only place where we can infer that it was captured by Master X.’

If Imperno wasn’t caught here, we’d have to collect data for the search.

It may lead to a long-term war.

She hid in the bank where Imperno Honganna had predicted the crime and looked around.

It was lunch time so there weren’t many people yet.

‘I hope I find some meaningful clues here.’

She hid herself in the shadows using stealth techniques and raised her mana with her hands together.

The target is Imperno.

Through Kim Jeong-su’s help, I was able to receive explosive remnants engraved with her mana.

It was an item found at the location where Imperno committed a crime in the past.

There was a faint trace of Imperno’s mana, and they planned to use this to see how she was subdued by Master X here.

If the person in question had mana, it was an ability to trace the owner of that mana.

This was the secret to Koharu becoming an excellent searcher and informant.

“Ninbeop, welcome development.”

As Koharu performed the spell with both hands and granted mana, the surrounding scenery changed.

The remains of the explosive reacted, creating a blurry mark on the illusionary formation she had created.

In the sepia-tinted landscape, a single human image emerged.

-Oh, manager, can I go to the bathroom for a moment?

Her portrait went up to the women’s bathroom on the third floor.

Koharu, hiding in the shadows and avoiding people’s eyes, followed the figure up to the third floor.

Her Inyoung, who was manipulating something, was soon subdued by someone.

-Aaaah!

She was suppressed with a scream and asked urgently.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t hear the other person’s voice.

Because Koharu did not have the mana of that opponent.

-What are you?

But it didn’t matter if I didn’t feel it.

She knew that the opponent who was suppressing Hong Anna’s human spirit was Master X.

-I can see myself… … ?

Her panicked voice sounded muffled.

‘Is Imperno’s ability invisible?’

All reports about explosive ability were false.

Koharu thought like that and looked at the situation.

To see how Imperno is subdued… … .

“Huh?”

Inyoung disappeared.

It disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed in the first place.

‘This can’t be happening?’

Even if you move instantly, the reverberations of that mana will remain on the scene.

Using the reverberation of mana, it was possible to infer where the opponent moved.

That was her way of using this illusion development.

Once I had a clue, I could see where the other person was going and what they were doing.

I never missed it once.

But now, Anna Hong’s traces disappeared in an instant.

I had to find a trace.

You couldn’t miss it here.

‘What on earth is going on?’

She quickly turned the time for the illusion to unfold.

How much time has passed?

I felt the reverberation of Hong Anna’s mana again.

Anna Hong’s mana protruded from inside the bathroom partition.

She ran out of the bathroom.

There was nothing else other than that my posture was a little awkward.

It didn’t seem like anything had happened to her.

Have you been arrested?

If not, something might have happened here.

Maybe a magic powerful enough to erase her mana was tormenting her.

“What is this…? … .”

Koharu was so surprised that she used her native language without realizing it.

“Teleportation? no. There was no sign of that. So, did I get hit here by mental-type magic?”

If that were the case, there was no way I could have run away.

‘It’s as if the mana has been completely erased.’

I heard that a restraint that prevents mana from being used is being used as an archvillain.

But does that have the effect of making mana disappear in an instant like this?

Before that, the mana blocking restraint was a poor weapon used only by B-level and lower villains.

Wasn’t Imperno a grade A or higher villain?

‘Strange. Everything is strange, from start to finish.’

She chased after Imperno’s Mana, who ran out of the bathroom.

There wasn’t much mana left now.

This illusion technique was not one that could be used indefinitely.

‘I need to find a clue quickly.’

She hurriedly followed the trail of the fleeing Imperno.

It ran hesitantly, covering its chest and lower body with its arms.

‘It feels like my posture is covering my chest.’

Why are you doing this?

Did you take off your clothes?

She reasoned and continued to chase.

‘His clothes were torn, and it appears that he was unable to retrieve all of his clothes as he was in a hurry to escape from Master X.’

then.

‘It can be seen that he was harassing Imperno during the time when the mana reaction disappeared.’

If that’s the case, I can understand that awkward posture and gait that tries to avoid contact with people as much as possible.

‘Pervert bastard.’

It was clear that Master X was using his mind-manipulating magic to molest the woman.

They manipulate the victims in a way that makes them look good, exploit their weaknesses, and force them to confess.

I guessed that might be Master X’s way of getting female villains to confess.

At the end of Imperno’s urgent run as he wandered through the streets, the ninjutsu disappeared.

All of Imperno’s mana was scattered and sublimated.

“That’s it.”

It was unclear how she was eventually caught.

But one thing was certain.

Master

She knew a few scum who had this ability.

These are villains who control women through hypnosis or brainwashing abilities and make them spread their legs on their own.

Trash who uses their abilities to vent their dark desires.

Such perverted and outrageous acts.

A guy who claims to rehabilitate villains goes around harassing women like that.

“You’re more trash than I thought.”

It was more trash than she thought.

“へんたい.”

Pervert bastard.

The face must have been very ugly.

He must be so hideously ugly that women insult him.

Because he’s that kind of guy, he probably does things like this.

‘There’s absolutely no reason to make it our team.’

Because he was something worse than a villain who disguised the act of resolving his desires in a plausible way.

Ugh.

got a call.

It was Seimei’s call.

-Miss Koharu, is work going well?

It was Seimei-sama’s voice that made my ears melt just by hearing it.

“It’s going well.”

-Is the man named Master X worth having on our side?

She shook her head in response to the boss’ question.

“It’s more trash than you think. This guy uses his hypnotic powers to beat up women. He seems like a disgusting guy who claims he is an apostle of justice.”

-is that so? If that’s the case for Koharu, that would be correct. Are you saying it’s better to remove it?

“Yes. If Seimei-sama gives you an order, I will kill him right now and go back.”

-Hmm, good. Do by that way. I say this to the leader of the neon sign.

“Thank you.”

She lowered her head.

Since Seimei-sama’s permission was given, all that was left to do was take action.

This was the moment when it changed from a simple search to an assassination mission.

“I will return after completing my mission.”

-I’ll be waiting. If you successfully complete it, I will generously reward you. Lady.

“Yes, Seimei.”

The corners of her mouth rose at the word reward.

It’s been a while since I was able to sleep while listening to his singing.

She could escape the nightmare that torments her every day.

My motivation welled up.

“I will work hard.”

After hanging up the phone with Seimei, she gathered her will.

“I guess I should contact that ugly toad.”

Although they were from a different organization and I didn’t like their appearance, they were still a team with the same mission.

At least there was a need to share the changed mission.

That way, Jung Woo-jin will also report to his captain and take action.

‘Blocking it won’t change anything.’

Turrr.

The ringtone continued for a long time.

Why don’t you accept it?

“ This toad bastard isn’t sleeping on drugs again… … .”

Sweet.

The dial tone went off, and silence followed.

“Hey, why aren’t you saying anything? Did you sleep on drugs again? How many times have I already been there during the ten days I was dispatched?”

-Are you a kunoichi?

It’s an unfamiliar voice.

“Who are you?”

-Who is it? This is Master X you are looking for.

“… … What?”

-I was waiting.

How did this happen?

Why on earth is Master X calling Toad?
