Chapter 79 – Episode 79. Don’t Touch Mayuri, You Bastards (5)
Episode 79 Don’t touch Mayuri, you bastards (5)
The biggest difference between a restorer and a brainwasher is the extent to which they use Paramas’ abilities.
Brainwashers openly display aggressive tendencies to the extent that there is no such thing as ‘normal life’, and even when transformed into a monster, almost no trace of their human appearance remains.
On the other hand, the recoverer can temporarily transform into a monster with some human form remaining, and if he or she wishes, he can pretend to be a civilian while hiding his hostility.
“But damn it, it’s no use now.”
Jo Mi-hyeon seemed very determined and mobilized all the people who had recovered, and he seemed to be all employees of this place.
At this point, it is meaningless to distinguish between recoveries and brainwashers because they are difficult enemies to deal with.
Even though I have skills, my physical abilities are average, or rather, I am an adult male who is below average.
Seriously, if I run 10km, I’ll be sick that day.
Because the recoverers had to hide their original identities, it was a national rule that they never transformed even if they were cornered at the moment of death, but that is not the case now.
Are you saying there are no eyes to see?
For example, Jo Baek-chan did not change even before his death, and An Byeong-guk turned into a monster and attacked me only after he confirmed that there was no one around.
That’s probably why he lured me into the alley.
The restorers were no longer human, and they prioritized Paramas’ grand strategy (that the restorers dominate all walks of life on Earth) over individual survival.
That’s why they are scarier.
In any case, there are two reasons why recoveries with such principles would strangely deform their arms and legs and rush at me as if they were going to kill me.
They don’t care if their true identity is discovered.
They say they will kill everyone to prevent this from leaking out.
A blade that is sharply drawn from top to bottom.
I narrowly avoided getting my chest scratched, but some of my clothes were torn, and I immediately became invisible.
But there are too many.
Just as if there is a crowd, even if you are invisible, you have no choice but to reveal your presence.
I bumped into someone, and since my abilities were already known, they noticed me right away.
A sharp kick follows immediately.
It was a powerful back kick like a beast with inverted joints, so if it had hit, it would have shattered his head.
My physical abilities cannot handle that.
I used Slow to kill them and then slit the throats of the few I saw in front of me.
“Ha, ha…”
This is really heavy.
I believed I could do it somehow, and even if I couldn’t, I pushed ahead because I thought there was no answer if Mayuri was brainwashed here, but it was more than I thought.
At first glance, it seems like there are hundreds.
Meanwhile, Mayuri’s brainwashing is progressing.
She said it was brainwashing that made her retarded.
In short, Mayuri becomes retarded, so of course it is impossible for her to transform into a magical girl.
I sent away another guy who was running towards me in slow motion for a moment, then fired a gun at his heart and turned around.
Kang Ga-hyeon and Mayuri, who were sitting in the brainwashing capsule, were trembling and defenseless as they were being bombarded with mind waves.
I know how to use that machine, but once the brainwashing is complete, restoring it to its original state is difficult.
I don’t know how long it will take, and I need to know how it worked before so I can destroy it in reverse order.
There can be no one here who can teach me-
“Ugh-“
I was knocked down by an attack coming from behind.
Since I had already used slow for a long time and cut down dozens of animals, I needed to rest a bit.
“Die,hee hee!”
I held my back in pain as if it would break, and thought about the onslaught of attacks and a way to save Mayuri.
The device needed to be stopped as soon as possible.
“Han Minhyun!”
So I tried to lend a hand to Han Min-hyeon, who was stuck in the corner, but he was out of his mind.
I knew he was a pathetic guy, but I didn’t expect him to be this helpless, so I sighed, but Song Bo-yoon, who had been watching the situation, pushed him away and walked in front of the device.
Much better than Han Minhyun.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen Song Bo-yoon, so if he successfully stops the brainwashing device, I should at least praise him.
Strangely, he doesn’t want to make eye contact with me, because it seems like he’s really mad at me.
I was busy in my own way, but I might be resentful of Song Bo-yoon, who worked hard.
“Huh-!”
Gradually the number of recoveries and brainwashers was reduced.
As the bodies piled up, Jo Mi-hyeon’s expression hardened.
“Move!”
She pushed away several recoveries who were guarding the area, then turned into a monster and rushed at me.
The clothes hiding her glamorous body tore, and a chimera reminiscent of a sphinx appeared.
It’s definitely overwhelming from the looks of the big guy.
The lion’s front leg struck me.
I guess I can’t save my abilities this time.
I applied slow and took a step back.
You can’t do a cool back tumble, but anyway, there’s no one who will applaud you for turning invisible at the same time.
Several of the recoveries who had been standing in the spot I had left were torn to pieces by Jo Mi-hyeon’s front paws.
She swung her tail regardless.
“Kwaa.”
She managed to extend her arm, but it appeared to be fractured.
With a tingling sensation, her wrist swelled in an instant.
Jo Mi-hyeon must have read the direction I was screaming from and rushed towards me, and I quickly ran away, feeling my breathing becoming heavier.
There were other recoveries there.
I forcibly squeezed my forearm muscles, which were not very strong, and decapitated him with a knife, then shot him dead.
Even though I just repeated the act of cutting, stabbing, and shooting, my stamina was already depleted.
At this level, it is completely hard work.
As the saying goes, mental strength is needed.
My physical strength was already at its limit, and my invisibility ability slowly dissipated faster, exposing me to the danger of flying.
Now the remnants have almost been taken care of.
What remains is Jo Mi-hyeon, the boss.
Fortunately, I knew its weakness.
Because I took care of her myself.
I mustered up all my remaining strength and climbed up her body.
“Hwaaaaa-“
Although I was slowing her down as I ran, stepping on Jo Mi-hyun’s body, which felt like a small hill to me, she quickly recognized my touch.
As I struggled so hard, I lost my balance.
Barely holding on, he climbed above her head and fired a bullet at the jewel embedded in her forehead.
Wow!
Jo Mi-hyeon screamed.
It was such a loud sound that it felt like my eardrums would be torn.
Soon her body shrunk.
I collapsed on top of her body.
It wouldn’t have been surprising if her back had been broken by the impact, but Jo Mi-hyeon was crushed on my butt with an exhausted look on her face, and she didn’t seem to be in any pain.
Well, neither the restorers nor the brainwashers have any emotions or feelings other than the prosperity of Paramas.
Around that time, Song Bo-yoon approached his brainwashing device and succeeded in freeing Kang Ga-hyun and Ma Yu-ri.
“…”
I held the knife to Jo Mi-hyeon’s neck.
But I hesitated.
This probably means that I have become weak.
Jo Mi-hyeon is Song Bo-yoon’s stepmother, and she does not have a particularly good relationship with her. She acts as a middle manager for Paramas, effectively the invaders’ second-in-command.
Any way you look at it, she should be killed here.
They tried to brainwash Mayuri and make it impossible for her to recover, and since she is the head of a huge company called PR Group, it would have been better to get rid of her.
And yet-
Is it because Song Bo-yoon is looking at me?
I was reluctant to kill her family directly.
Seeing as she was crushing me and not showing any resistance, it was clear that I had broken some part of her human-shaped body while falling from a high place.
Would it be okay to take him there and study it like this?
Choi Song-hee might like it.
She lost her limbs to Jo Baek-chan and An Byeong-guk, who were (as it turned out) Paramas’ limbs.
He said that his direct revenge was over by killing them, but was that really true?
She may want the destruction of Paramas.
She was neither an ordinary restorer nor a brainwasher, nor was she the type of person to turn down the opportunity to disassemble and analyze the body of a middle manager, or to interrogate him.
Meanwhile, Song Bo-yoon walked over.
Even though she was my stepmother, she would ask me to save her. I felt my grip loosening and was preparing to grant her request.
But then she took her knife out of my hand and-
Pusik!
He immediately slit Jo Mi-hyeon’s neck.
Even worse, when he couldn’t go in at once, he finished it off by sawing it several times, applying force between his eyebrows.
Red blood soaked her face.
“… Bo, Boyun?”
“Why are you hesitating? “Oppa Dojin.”
She said with a smile.
“This woman is a villain.”
***
Song Bo-yoon’s face was filled with madness.
She suddenly burst into laughter and claimed that it would be better if there were no villains like Jo Mi-hyeon in the world.
“You’re a recovery person.”
“…”
“For my brother, I would kill my stepmother. With my own hands. Even though my brother abandoned me, he only paid attention to magical girls. Still, I can do anything my brother tells me to do.”
“…”
“I have something to ask Songhee. “She must be watching from somewhere even now, right?”
Song Bo-yoon glanced around.
The ultra-small drone, which is certainly Choi Song-hee’s talent, is still flying silently and watching.
“Please falsify this woman’s will. Please make me her successor. Please let me lead the PR group. Then, I will actively help Dojin oppa in whatever he does. The PR group is also influencing B.H. If I use my power, I might be able to justify killing the Restorer. I don’t think there’s anyone here who cares more for Dojin oppa than anyone else, right? All recoveries must die. Villains who put on the face of good sheep and commit crimes! And then they avoid punishment. It is better for a smiley face to lead this country. Instead of stupid humans! Will you be president, brother? “I will finance the election!”
Song Bo-yoon gets increasingly excited and raises his voice.
I was speechless for a moment at the sudden suggestion.
“Of course, we will have to kill all the witnesses here.”
Song Bo-yoon smiled cruelly.
Her voice became calm.
The sudden fall scared me even more.
… What on earth made you like this, Bo-yoon?
I didn’t know how to react, so when I slightly looked away from those crazy eyes, I felt Mayuri with blurry eyes looking at me.
Minhyun Han was supporting her.
Mayuri refused and stood up unsteadily.
“…Miss Yuri? Do you know who I am?”
I briefly passed by Song Bo-yoon, who was asking a favor that was difficult for her to answer right away, and walked towards her.
“What is 17+17?”
I asked quietly.
Mayuri had no answer.
Did I ask something too difficult?
“Do you know who I am?”
I asked the first question again.
“And you?”
