-I came into contact with it while trying to obtain mana powder.

-Well, please just tell my parents…!

-I will reflect! You can take this ability away! Please, just don’t tell me that…! please!!

Hong Chang-sik knelt down and begged.

He spewed out all the information he knew, and as much information as he had gained, there was nothing more to say.

-Goblin! Please, please have mercy!!

-For the rest, talk to the agent.

I entrusted the organization’s agents with negotiations regarding Hong Chang-sik’s treatment.

“You can solve the transformation.”

I took off my mask.

He is transforming into a goblin, but since he is wearing a suit, if he takes off his mask, he just looks like an agent of death.

“Can I show my face to other people?”

“The people here are all under Gunggi’s command. Gunggi overthrew all his subordinates once, so they are trustworthy people.”

After the Malttugi incident, Gunggi inspected his subordinates once more and selected them as needed.

So, the agents gathered here now are all special agents, including [Jumo], [Bobusang], and [Gakseol-i], who were hand-picked by Gunggi.

Those who, like me, have buried their bones in the organization and will not betray it.

“I will not betray you. I won’t even spit out any information. Even if they acted like Hong Chang-sik, they are people who would tell them to disclose if they are being harmed.”

“Baby?”

“Extenuating circumstances may be possible in some cases when a family member or loved one is held hostage. Association. Of course, rescue workers immediately move to prevent that from happening.”

The CEO’s theory is that it is impossible to run an organization without that level of compassion.

“Ymir. Can you tolerate the diary you wrote in the past being revealed to others?”

“What’s wrong with a diary?”

“If it were you, it would be like that. But let’s take an ordinary person, not an angel like you, as an example. What if all kinds of swear words, criticism, and things that can’t be said in words are written there? What if it’s someone like Hong Chang-sik, or worse than Hong Chang-sik?”

“…Well, it will be like Hong Chang-sik, right? If I’m going to choose social death right now, I’m going to try to find an underground bunker somewhere so I don’t get physically killed.”

“Okay. Even if you don’t value fame, receiving society’s negative attention is the end of the world. Not just yourself, but everything around you.”

Humans are social animals.

They do not wish to be isolated and left out of the society that surrounds them.

Of course, there may be people who want to abandon everything around them and destroy themselves.

However, there are probably only 1 out of 5 people like that.

Most people, like Hong Chang-sik, spit out information to protect themselves, and if even one person tells the information, that is enough.

“The organization does not threaten or do anything to family or acquaintances. We do not use physical torture, such as tearing off fingernails or preventing breathing. Instead, we just attack them with their past, their actions, and the life they have lived. It touches on so-called ‘dark history’.”

“Dark history?”

“Jammin’s actions during his days.”

An American actor once said something like that in an interview.

When I was young, I was a nerd, or to put it in modern style, I was ‘Jammin’.

But people didn’t know he was Jammin.

Because he only acted as Jammin in his room, the world simply knew him as an actor.

Why did he tell this story?

He said that’s because in modern times, Jammin-like behavior, or to put it in a vulgar language, ‘asshole-like behavior’, is done in front of other people.

In other words, SNS is the root of the problem.

Not only SNS, but all media that can leave records and data in the world of information are the source of trouble.

A world where data is recorded and crimes are revealed through investigations based on those records.

A world where criminals try to delete electronic data at all costs, and those investigating crimes try to recover electronic data at all costs.

Top-secret information is recorded by hand without going through the network or is stored in a secure network that is not exposed to hacking by others, but even that security network can be breached.

And through that information, I obtained information about Pandemonium from the traitorous agent, Hong Chang-sik.

“I got the information easier than I thought. Is it Southeast Asia? I never thought it would be a foreign country.”

“Because clairvoyants are watching in Korea. Unless an individual directly enters a foreign network through a VPN bypass, Pandemonium cannot be easily accessed.”

Hong Chang-sik and others, too, all wandered around in the shadows on the Internet and signed a contract with Pandemonium.

Because someone wants to become strong.

Because someone wants revenge.

Also, someone wants to gain something.

“Most people get involved with Pandemonium while trying to obtain mana powder. They say that if you work for Pandemonium, you can obtain mana powder regularly, and your strength can be strengthened through demon research. Without side effects.”

“Side effects… Do you only have the power of the devil?”

“Okay. This is also the reason why Pandemonium and various research institutes are looking for you, Ymir.”

I found some information on the dark web through the organization’s network and showed it to her.

“Susanoo and Heavenly Demon are just aggro. In reality, battles took place all over the country and even under the sea.”

“…Russia?”

“I brought the submarine down and got caught by Snow White. To the south, India brought a submarine up from Jeju Island and was caught by Cheok Jun-kyung.”

The world is full of various information other than what is visible.

The organization collected data mainly through the dark web, and only quiet gunshots were exchanged in places that were not disclosed to the public.

“What made these people stop…dark charisma?”

“Okay. Even the people of the backworld have a tendency to panic when a crazy guy like this shows up.”

Just like when Duoksini created 72 demons and released them on the Korean Peninsula, this time, each country tried to rescue or contact the prisoners entering Sejong Island, but retreated.

“Then…let’s go and touch on the person in charge.”

[transform?]

[transform.]

I put on the goblin’s mask again and opened the door where the last agent was.

“…Hmm. It’s fun. I was wondering who was coming.”

[Park Eun-jeong. 21 years old. B grade. From Gangneung, Gangwon-do. at home-]

“Ah, it’s okay that you guys know my information. Tell me what you want first.”

Park Eun-jung, the leader of the traitors and the one who stabbed the agent who came to smoke a cigarette, put her legs up on the desk in the interrogation room and tilted her chair back.

“What are you going to do? Are you going to torture me? Or what, social annihilation?”

[Did you hear?]

“I’m level B. He came here after working in a foreign country, and he also collaborated with the National Intelligence Service. I know very well how to deal with people in an organization.”

[Then the story will be fast.]

I sat across from Park Eun-jung.

Ymir seemed to be uncomfortable with the person who tried to kill someone, and Eunjung Park seemed to be able to sense that even through the mask and started laughing.

“Why? Platinum Sun, are you saying the murderer isn’t even human?”

[I’m not dead. I’m sorry. I saved your life.]

“Wow. That’s amazing. I twisted and stabbed the inside of my heart. Save it? Awesome.”

[you…!]

“Next time, I’ll just cut off your head. It cannot be revived at all. Heehee.”

[It looks like you have killed someone before.]

When I made a goblin bat and took it out, Park Eun-jeong’s laughter cracked.

[I won’t talk too much. If you answer the question, I will kill you obediently.]

“Oh my. Weren’t you supposed to kill me in front of the platinum sun?”

[Just send it out and that’s it.]

“Platinum Sun. A goblin wants to kill people? What are you going to do?”

[…….]

Ymir was silent.

He must have never thought that someone would mock him like that, and he slightly clenched his fists, letting out his anger.

“Why? Are you angry? Our platinum sun will get better, he’s a complete child on the inside. A child.”

And in that regard, Park Eun-jung is an expert in reading the other person’s emotions.

“It’s hard to take a child like that with you. What do you do if you have special abilities? I still think like a child.”

[It’s okay for a person who thinks he’s an adult to say something like that. Platinum Sun. never mind. These are the words of someone who will die soon.]

“Heung. Are you going to kill me? Either kill me. Well, it doesn’t matter if I don’t kill him in one hit. I thought I would die the moment I was caught anyway. Just once…what are you doing?”

[Digging into dark history.]

I picked up the goblin bat and aimed it at the wall.

Soon an image appeared on the wall, and the agent outside began to pass around photos related to Park Eun-jung.

“Heh, hehe. If you look for something like that…”

[You wrote an interesting novel.]

I immediately noticed something that made me uncomfortable and pointed at the bat.

[Cheok Jun-gong Me indeed. They’re talking shit like this behind the scenes, but Korean S-class people have a really good mentality…ho.]

“…kick. why? Do you think you are a target?”

Now even goblins.

[goblin. Should I just kill him? How can there be a goblin in Gwangikgong…!]

[Do you know what it is?]

[I know…I know. It’s unpleasant, though.]

[okay. Not unpleasant. These are things that all famous people with special abilities must endure.]

Deepfake or synthetic.

Compared to video media, this kind of Alpes is just a drug.

[For your information, everyone under you was blown away. Now the only one left is you, and I’ve come to do a final check.]

“…If you’re going to kill me, kill me. I won’t say it.”

[Tsk. Foolish. An intelligence agent who even collaborated with the National Intelligence Service is so short-thinking.]

I extended the goblin bat over Park Eun-jeong’s head.

[Why do you think there is no ability to force someone to confess?]

“……!”

[This is a world where there is a confession system.]

“Now, wait a minute. What are you trying to do…!”

[Hmm.]

The history of a human named Park Eun-jeong.

If you look at it from the reader’s perspective.

In lived history and experience.

If you read the past.

[It’s Phuket.]

You can find it.

“!! Seo, no way I thought…!”

[Not necessarily.]

The final information has been obtained.

[On May 3rd, you will be found at Baekrokdam on Hallasan Mountain. do not worry. I won’t kill you until then. They won’t torture you. step.]

I even aimed the goblin bat at Park Eun-jung.

[Even if those who have room for reflection and rehabilitation live with their sins in their hearts for the rest of their lives, Park Eun-jung, a villain with no room for rehabilitation, must die here, right?]

“Well, what are you trying to do…!”

[Erasing dark history. Well, even if you have memory loss, it’s okay. Let’s see. Ms. Park Eun-jung, you only need to have her memories erased for about three years.]

“What, what…?”

A human who has become addicted to mana powder, has become accustomed to all kinds of crimes, and has colluded with Pandemonium cannot be spared.

[Park Eun-jung as a villain will disappear, and she will return to Park Eun-jung, who wanted to become a just agent while studying at Sejong Academy.]

“What are you talking about? That means they will kill me by erasing my memories…!”

[Killing. Park Eun-jung is alive. It’s just that Park Eun-jung is a little different from the current Park Eun-jung.]

“Stop it…! Oh, no…! My life, you guys do as you please…!”

[That’s funny.]

I raised the goblin bat.

[Isn’t it natural that 21-year-old Park Eun-jung, who became an agent of the Hero Association while still dreaming of becoming a hero, would be more helpful to society than 21-year-old Park Eun-jung, who sucks mana powder and sells people to human experiments?]

It’s natural.

[I should really be thankful if they save me instead of killing me. is not it? I’m currently using this ability, which is more difficult and difficult than summoning Rider Kick or Sephiroth’s Giant God Soldier.]

“Ah, no-”

[I will erase all your dark history with a single blow of a stick. Cleanly.]

Phew.

[Platinum Sun. In your opinion, does this kill someone?]

[……It is unclear whether it should be seen that the personality was murdered, or that the memories were selectively removed. Um, goblin? Do you know who my favorite comic book protagonist is?]

[Hmm…is he Superman?]

[It used to be like that. But now.]

Ymir approached Park Eun-jung, who had collapsed after being hit on the head by a goblin bat.

[Batman.]

Phew.

[…You’re not dead, right?]

[He didn’t die.]

[Then that’s enough.]

Ymir hit Park Eun-jung hard on the head, then stood up, shaking his hands.

On this day.

The villain Park Eun-jung was executed.

All that is left is a person with special abilities whose memory has holes here and there.

May has come.
