[anyway. How long has it been since the live broadcast ended and they are already preparing to run away from Korea? And that includes public officials.]

“Is this what the person who said hello as soon as the broadcast ended and immediately flew to Korea in a space leap to catch the villains would say?”

Inside the car.

I sit in the passenger seat and check the state of the horsepower, and Ymir sits in the driver’s seat and drives the car skillfully along the Gangneung roads.

Rattling, rattling.

Behind them, four men and women sway left and right, their bodies bumping into each other.

It would be very uncomfortable to be tied with a rope instead of a seat belt, but since you are unconscious anyway, you cannot wake up.

“Well, thanks to that, we were able to make an arrest at the scene…”

Ymir, who came to Korea with me, scratched his cheek as he looked at the four men and women who had fainted from concussions.

“But unusually, it looks like the deal is already over?”

[It’s not something that’s not right. I missed it on purpose.]

As soon as I hit them, I opened the trunk.

The place was full of miscellaneous items such as car accessories, and there was nothing in particular that they thought they would have used as a so-called ‘Ginpai’ item.

[The transaction has already been made. What we’ve hit now is the scene where people were being swapped to create an alibi after the transaction.]

“A civil servant and a member of the Communist Party swap cars?”

[okay.]

Although we are making every effort to avoid being caught on CCTV, this pattern has already become one of the criminal activities that our organization is aware of.

[Items have probably already been ‘stolen’ from places like sleep shelters. The reason they came up here is to keep a record of their business trip. In the car.]

“Umm….”

[The parties first get into a regular vehicle and spend personal time, and the active party members get into an official vehicle and pretend to be on a business trip.]

“Ah. Even if there is an audit later, it will be okay because your business trip will be recorded on CCTV, right?”

[yes. As a bonus, even if this car arrived in Busan at 10 p.m., the actual government officials would have entered Busan before 6 p.m. Or maybe he went somewhere else to play.]

It is a very common deviation for those performing public duties to make up documents without actually looking at the official duties.

“I can’t believe a public official behaves like this. Isn’t this something you have to take off your clothes?”

[They are ‘practicing criminals’ who embezzle cultural property items and replace them with fakes, but the extent of them leaving their workplace is a mere exaggeration.]

The same goes for the Hwalbin Party members who were waiting to replace them, but these Cultural Heritage Administration officials are vicious villains who cannot even be compared to the Hwalbin Party.

[The housewives will be here soon. And after digging up information from them, we will follow the GPS location of the gold medal.]

“Well, they said the signal is now ‘disrupted’.”

As Ymir said, one variable has emerged.

“Going into a place where electronic signals cannot be heard, doesn’t that mean you went into a concrete case that blocks signals?”

[yes.]

There is a device inside the medal, but the signal is lost?

Either one.

[This is information about King Taejo that was passed down through Heukikong. Either the medal was melted and the device inside was destroyed, or it was trapped inside a barrier device.]

“If the former is not right due to time constraints, it is the latter.”

[And the only people in this country who can do that are the Hwalbindang.]

A timeline is drawn.

From midnight, the gold medal thieves held a strategy meeting and decided to hand it over to Hwalbindang.

At dawn, I put the Mana Gold Medal in the case as usual, and this case acts as a blocker for electronic signals, GPS, etc.

For that operation, the gold medal in Busan must have been brought all the way to Gangneung and handed over to Hwalbindang.

[I said I would come in a week, so I guess they will be working hard to create new gold medals in Busan to replace Managold.]

“Maybe the live broadcast actually gave them some leeway?”

[But you let your guard down like this, right?]

The goblin is coming in a week.

Even though he said so on the official broadcast, it would not be easy to think, ‘Actually, I came to Korea as soon as the broadcast ended through space travel.’

At least, unless they are aware of an accident that seems to have been caused by a goblin, such as the kidnapping of working-level staff.

[Arrived. Over there, unmanned motel.]

“It’s been a long time since I came to a place like this.”

Ymir lightly pushed the car into the parking lot of an unmanned motel.

Beep beep.

The sensor in the parking lot, which initially raised the shutter slowly, activated the device as soon as it recognized the sensor of Ymir and I’s death watch.

Coo coo coo.

The car moving forward circled underground and went down, and after going quite deep and stopping at a real parking lot, I immediately took the civil servants and the active-duty party members out.

[Then, at the scene….]

“It’s been a while, goblin.”

[Really, it’s been a long time.]

Even though we arrived in a hurry, a familiar woman was waiting for us.

“Ah, Joo Mo! It’s been a really long time.”

“Nice to meet you, Ymir.”

Among the master mothers, those who are competent enough to meet us face to face are the master mothers.

[Weren’t you going back to Sejong Island?]

“Hye-ra Yoon gave special instructions. Before entering Sejong Island, please support Goblin in Gangwon-do. Hehe, thanks to you, I got ahead.”

Joo Mo pointed to something resembling an orange armband strapped to his left shoulder.

“Thanks to assisting Dokkaebi on Sejong Island, I have now risen to the position of deputy director of the Korean branch of the Mothers’ Union.”

[What a great promotion.]

“I just did everything I had to do as a mother.”

[It’s awkward to be respectful, but…]

“Anyway, how can we treat someone who has become the world’s strongest hero the same way we used to? Maybe it’s in a private place.”

[I admit that. Let’s go inside.]

I took my four subordinates with me and entered the underground base.

[Jumo. That will be ready, right?]

“Yes. As soon as I received the call, I prepared it right away. Should I colonel?”

[of course.]

After seating the villains on each of the four chairs prepared in the large empty lot, I handed over the helmet that Jumo had brought.

“What is that? Helmet-type brainwashing device?”

[no way. The association does not brainwash carelessly.]

For recycling, rotten brains are washed thoroughly with bleach, but this only applies to those who show the potential for rehabilitation.

[Ymir. You’ve seen many ways to deal with villains. What were there?]

“Well, first of all…”

Ymir folded one finger.

“There was an immediate execution… Not doing it now.”

There was an execution similar to the death penalty.

Although no one except alien demons kills anymore, it is true that such things certainly existed in the past.

“And then there was a change of heart.”

There is a process of changing evil people into good people through moral education.

This is still progressing smoothly.

“The traitors involved in the deaths of the executives are still competing to earn points.”

Villain Guys is operating successfully.

Even those who watched the World Cup watched Villain Guys when the World Cup wasn’t taking place.

In addition, there are Korean Marine camps for young children and rehabilitation education for those who have come from the underworld.

In this case, it is not a villain, but it is similar in that it ‘recycles’ those who were villains instead of executing them.

“Are you still planning to do that?”

[no. I will approach it differently this time.]

Execution, conversion, change of mind, mental education, entertainment.

But these are different.

[Among villains, there are evil ones that cannot be recycled.]

“The housewives refer to them as ‘bugs’.”

“Wow, that’s an explicit expression.”

bug.

By the standard of a villain executioner, mana is not enough to execute,

The idea of just executing them means that the evil deed is so common that it can happen to ordinary people.

If the person is a treasonous criminal, it may not be something that cannot be said out loud, but it can alert others.

“People who generally cause discomfort to people. The organization does not impose rehabilitation sentences or hard labor sentences on such people.”

“Then it’s not like killing them, so how do you do it?”

[Stuffed.]

I put the helmets on each of the four heads.

[A museum doesn’t necessarily have to be about relics. is not it?]

“…Are you going to stuff these people? Alive?”

[okay. Of course, taxidermy is not done in an inhumane and unethical way. Putting people on display in a museum.]

“There was a plan, but it was scrapped because it could have a negative impact on pregnant women and children who came to the museum.”

There was a plan.

I also thought about locking someone like Choi Ho-jeong in a glass case and installing information around the case that summarizes his evil deeds so that all citizens can see them.

[It is not befitting to kill someone and leave them as corpses. But if you keep it alive, it costs money to feed it.]

“Then, rather than just keeping it alive, we need to create some added value, right?”

Like the Villain Guys, they give their victims a sense of relief by showing them how they suffer in a comical way.

Sending those who can be rehabilitated to the public part of society and having them perform public duties in the true sense of the word.

[These are not allowed. Since they have already committed a crime in a public place, even if they are rehabilitated, their roots are rotten and it is impossible.]

That’s impossible for these criminals.

[So I came up with it. Let’s commit that crime to our heart’s content.]

“What the hell….”

[In a dream.]

Something similar to a monitor protruded from the top of the helmet.

[Someone who has done villainous things knows better. They tell me to do as much villainy as I want in my dreams. Instead, those evil deeds will be used as video materials for education of teachers around the world.]

In the monitor.

[If it were in a dream, how would they act? As a righteous hero? Or in the direction of satisfying more intense desires in the way you live?]

The lives of the villains are told from a first-person perspective and continue through dreams.

No different from reality.

No, in a form that is larger than reality.

It’s a dream, though.
