The atmosphere in the glass belt had become more subdued since morning.

    “Isn’t the guy who imposed private sanctions the same guy after all?”

    It seemed like the police officers working the night shift gathered together and talked about Master X.

    Inspector Jeong Seung-mi was shouting at the other police officers.

    “But honestly, isn’t it true that Hunter police officers don’t do their jobs? This is a problem caused by a vacuum in public security.”

    “If there is an order to be established in this way, it is better not to have it.”

    “So, there needs to be reform in the Hunter Police.”

    It seemed like they had been talking for a while before going to work.

    Captain Park Du-yeol, who worked the night shift with Seung-mi Jeong, had a look of fatigue on his face.

    “The people who confessed claim that they were not beaten, but if you look at the marks on their faces and on their bodies, they are all traces of assault and torture!”

    Kang Chan wondered why those people were talking about that.

    “This is a crime!”

    It was Lieutenant Jeong Seung-mi, who insisted on her opinion even by hitting the desk.

    Kang Chan approached Park Du-yeol, who was talking with a tired face across from her.

    “Inspector Kang, are you here?”

    “What’s going on?”

    Captain Park Du-yeol sighed and said.

    “Yesterday morning, a strange video appeared on YouTube, right?”

    “Ah… … . What kind of person imitates Master X?”

    “Yes. There was an uproar upstairs because of that.”

    “Has the guidelines already been issued?”

    Kang Chan also saw the video.

    It was a video posted by an ordinary person who said he worshiped Master X.

    He was a YouTuber who had been posting videos for quite some time, but the number of views exploded after the neon sign was caught.

    “Emergency guidelines were issued early in the morning. It seems that the Hunter police department was also aware of this. They say they sent us an official letter of cooperation.”

    That’s why.

    The night group has been raising their voices since morning like this.

    “Can I look at you for a moment?”

    Kang Chan received instructions from him.

    It was clearly stated that what Master X was doing was an act that could not be recognized as a private sanction.

    Although the victims claimed that it was not the case, the investigative agency determined that there was torture and assault.

    The point was that no matter how good the intention was, the process had to be good.

    The conclusion was that anyone suspected of being Master X should be caught and interrogated.

    The meaning of this was great.

    In effect, it meant designating Master X as a quasi-villain.

    The police are against his actions.

    Now I had to evade the vigilance of the entire police force.

    ‘We’re in trouble.’

    So far, I have maintained an appropriate line.

    I tried to avoid contact as much as possible, but a video posted on YouTube became a stimulus.

    Kang Chan also saw the video.

    He created a channel under the name Servant X, and his short videos achieved hundreds of thousands of views.

    There was also a video of the wrongdoings committed by the villains who confessed to Kang Chan.

    -hello. everyone. Not long ago, I was just one ordinary citizen.

    A man wearing a mask appears on the screen.

    The black mask he wore had a clear white X engraved on it.

    Wearing a black mask and a gray hoodie, he sat tall and opened his mouth to the camera.

    -But everyone will know. How are ordinary citizens like us being treated by villains?

    He continued speaking with his back to me.

    -The villains think of us as pitiful prey that they can eat. Weak prey that can be tormented at any time. An insignificant being with no abilities!

    -What can we do when we face villains? All you can do is hope and pray that the Hunter Police are nearby, or hope for mercy from them.

    -But what about the Hunter police officers who were supposed to protect us these days? Villains are often missed, and many hunter police officers are slow to respond to reports of villains. Is there more to it than just messing around with high arrest rates?

    -But Master X, who clearly defeats the villains, is different. He fights against villains alone for his own sake of justice and has a 100% arrest rate. The number of villains arrested by Hunter police in the past month is thirty-five. Master X single-handedly rehabilitated 6 villains in one month. Most of them are A-level villains.

    -We need to know. Now, the person who protects us from villains is not the incompetent Hunter Police, but Master X. He is fighting the villain alone. We must help him fight together. I will take the lead. I will somehow contact Master X and fight with him.”

    It was a short video that barely exceeded 5 minutes.

    It was a video posted after Woojin Jung, an executive at Neon Sign, and his henchmen confessed.

    It seems that the confession of the villain group, which is said to be the most powerful in Korea, was a great stimulus to someone.

    He may have seemed like a hero who could overcome the frustrating current situation.

    That’s probably why he filmed that video.

    ‘not good.’

    Kang Chan sighed inwardly.

    It’s good to have a good opinion of Master X.

    It is also good to be influenced by his justice.

    Because I thought of it as one of the developments that lead to a better society.

    However, as he speaks passionately in the YouTube video, madness can be seen.

    That was difficult.

    Madness was the emotion that Kang Chan avoided the most.

    No matter how upright the definition is, the moment it encounters madness, its meaning is bound to change.

    So he always tried to avoid falling into that madness.

    Because it is obvious that no matter how good justice is, if it is excessive, it becomes evil.

    In fact, now we are starting to get a backlash from the police.

    ‘I need to sort it out.’

    There was a need to clean things up so that other people wouldn’t get caught up in that madness.

    But how?

    If you touch it incorrectly, a strong backlash could result.

    It was a time when I was thinking about processing.

    “What do you think, Inspector Kang?”

    Seungmi Jeong asked me.

    “What do you mean?”

    “This is a man named Master X. I’m curious what you think.”

    “… … .”

    Kang Chan looked up at her.

    I’m thinking about it.

    ‘It’s not like he knows that I’m Master X.’

    I want to see if they still have the same mindset they had at the police academy.

    She was the one who hoped that Kang Chan would continue to change.

    Maybe he doesn’t want to see the cadet who beat him collapse like this?

    Or do you have other feelings?

    ‘If you had any other feelings, you wouldn’t make that face.’

    The way she pursed her lips and encouraged a quick answer resembled the assistant instructor at the police academy he had first met.

    Did he want to make a devilish expression in his own way?

    To Kang Chan, it seemed quite cute.

    Should I say that this is the image of a childish young lady being stubborn?

    “I have no idea. Still, I am grateful that they let me know that the Hunter police officers are incompetent.”

    “So you’re saying Master X did a good job?”

    Kang Chan briefly made eye contact with Jeong Seung-mi, who was glaring at him.

    In the eyes of a police officer who tried to contribute to justice in the world in a different way from his own, there was a sense of helplessness and dissatisfaction with the system that caused such irrationality, which forced him to look on.

    Normally, I would have taken a step back and said I wasn’t interested here.

    But for some reason, the moment I looked into those eyes, I didn’t have any desire to step back.

    What she said to me the other day.

    ‘Is that really the case? If you feel like you can change, it means you can change too.’

    Even though they said it would be impossible.

    ‘You haven’t forgotten who my dad is, have you? I’ll make you a good cop again!’

    What Jeong Seung-mi said came to mind.

    That’s probably why.

    “That doesn’t mean there is nothing wrong with his actions. Maybe you do it because it’s the best.”

    “Are you saying that vigilante action is the best?”

    “I think so. Most vigilantes are born to resolve on their own the irrationality that society does not protect.”

    Jeong Seung-mi’s expression became increasingly cold.

    “You know that things don’t end well for vigilantes like that, right?”

    “I know. In the end, they become corrupted and become part of a gang, or they end up being subjugated by other gangs or the police.”

    “So we must capture and punish Master X. If more vigilantes start with him, we may end up in a chaotic society with no order.”

    Kang Chan spoke calmly to her.

    “If Master X breaks the law, so be it. It’s our police’s job to catch criminals.”

    “What if? If there was a system in place that didn’t need such vigilantes, would you still stand on that villain’s side?”

    “… … .”

    Kang Chan looked at Jeong Seung-mi.

    A system without such vigilantes is being built… … .

    It’s like a dream.

    A world where villains are completely rescued and ordinary citizens live without worrying about being harmed by such villains.

    If such a world came.

    “Then there would be no need for vigilantes.”

    This was the world that Kang Chan wanted more than anyone else.

    A world where all villains come to their senses, reflect on their mistakes, and live justly.

    “… … all right. I feel relieved to hear that.”

    I was about to ask what relieved me, but it was almost patrol time.

    There was no time to talk anymore.

    “Then I have to go on patrol now, so I’ll end this story here. It looks like you had a hard time staying up all night.”

    “Good luck.”

    She took a step back and asked.

    “You remember what I said, right?”

    “Are you saying you are going to make me change somehow?”

    “You remember. That’s enough.”

    Was the strange smile on her face as she turned around simply due to her mood?

    ***

    “Hehehe, it’s still not enough to publicize the greatness of Master X.”

    Seungtae Lee, the owner of the Servant

    Master

    Especially after Neon Sign’s Jung Woo-jin confessed, Master X’s followers began to increase.

    A video uploaded a few days ago in which he expressed his thoughts and determination toward Master X easily passed the million mark.

    In addition, the number of views for all the videos posted by Master

    The number of subscribers also exceeded 100,000.

    The influence of Master

    Finally, responses started to come.

    His efforts are paying off.

    In the comments, believers of Master

    It was his task to enlighten all those who were ignorant.

    Seungtae Lee found peace of mind with a pious heart.

    – Servant We will do our best to help Servant X reach the end.

    -cheer up.

    -I believe it.

    Ah, what a beautiful sight this is.

    I was thrilled that there were so many people who thought the same way as me.

    “If the number increases like this and believers form, Master

    He was very impressed with Master X.

    No one knew his identity, but one thing was certain.

    He is a person with enough power to easily catch famous A-level villains.

    I wondered if it was Joo Guk-young, who served as the first Korean Hunter Police Chief.

    If you’re such a big guy, it’s understandable why you don’t show your face.

    Because it is difficult for big names to show their faces in these activities.

    “It can’t be the same villain.”

    If that was the case, I wouldn’t have killed him and made him confess to the police station.

    “When will Master X watch the video?”

    My heart was already pounding.

    There were so many things I wanted to say when I met him.

    He had been keeping an eye on Master X ever since he first appeared in the news.

    Even villains are not killed and made to follow due process.

    The way those villains are rehabilitated.

    However, rather than putting himself out in front, he hides behind the shadows and shows integrity by not taking the credit for himself.

    The nobility was cool.

    Seungtae Lee began producing additional videos, imagining a future encounter with Master X.

    His video concept was simple.

    A newly captured video of Jung Woo-jin and Kunoichi Koharu from Neon Sign.

    Both were members of the Villain Alliance.

    The world’s most famous force, the Villain Alliance, is showing interest in Master X.

    It was clear that if a strong title was added to the provocative thumbnail, the number of views would definitely explode.

    “If the number of views exceeds 3 million, Master

    Seungtae Lee, who was smiling darkly, suddenly felt a sign of popularity behind him and turned around.

    There was no one.

    “What is it? For sure… … .”

    I felt the presence of a person.

    He turned his head left and right.

    I can’t see anything.

    Rustling.

    But then again, there was a sign of a person… … .

    What on earth?

    who… … ?

    A cold sweat broke out.

    It was the fear of the unknown that I felt for the first time.

    Is he a villain?

    The villain targeting me to serve Master X has come all the way here… … .

    It is natural for those who walk the path of justice to face trials.

    I knew something like this would happen at any time, so I prepared.

    He picked up the baseball bat that had been standing next to his desk.

    Your own weapon to fight evil like Master X.

    It is an object imbued with magic in its own way.

    If you hit even one correctly, it will cause damage.

    “I don’t know who you are, but come out! I serve Master X! If you touch me, Master … .”

    “You are serving Master X?”

    A refreshing female voice was heard.

    “Yeah, right!”

    “That’s strange. As far as I know, he doesn’t have any minions like you.”

    “Yes, what do you know! I give my soul to Him… … .”

    “Kyahahahaha!”

    A voice taunted him.

    “It’s fun. He won’t even look at you if you give your soul?”

    “Shut up!”

    Who are you to ignore my feelings for Master?

    The moment when my hands became damp with sweat.

    “Peekaboo?”

    “Hee profit!”

    A woman appeared in front of him.

    She easily overpowered the bat she swung reflexively.

    The bat rolled on the floor.

    Only then did Seungtae Lee see the woman in front of him.

    “Da, are you a puppeteer?”

    “A good gift to give to the Master came rolling in like a vine, so it came here.”

    Puppeteer Park Eun-young.

    She, who had been rehabilitated by Master X and confessed, appeared before my eyes.

    This is revelation.

    Master X sent a messenger to give a revelation to himself.

    I thought he would know!

    “Ah, respected Master X! Finally, my sincerity… … .”

    “What do you say?”

    Pow!

    “Just pass out and sleep. Because you are the prey I will pay tribute to Master.”

    “Wow!”

    That was his last memory.
