How to Play a Villainous Boss 142

Chapter 142 – What, That. I Don’t Know. Scared (3)

* Please note that there may be some cruel expressions at the end of this episode.

My official status in the present world could probably be said to be ‘ex-convict’.

Even though he did not commit any crime, he was imprisoned for about a month at the bottom of the concentration camp where only the most heinous criminals were imprisoned without trial just for the reason that a goddess who had a lot of influence in this world predicted that it was dangerous. A person who is being granted conditional release in recognition of the usefulness of the power he possessed.

That’s me

It is not completely free, and since it is a release that is allowed only as long as they do not violate the conditions they put in, in fact, it is more like a prisoner who is not locked up than an ex-convict.

That’s not even funny. A goddess who had just come into this world and had no proper identity, and ordered her to capture and imprison her with the thought that she might do something dangerous in the future…

The representatives of the seven cities, who showed no movement in the goddess’s independent and self-righteous actions until it became known that the person imprisoned wrongly had very useful powers…

Anyway, I am currently conditionally released with the permission of the representatives of the seven cities, and the moment I violate any of their conditions, I will have to return to the lowest level of the cage in Skyron’s largest concentration camp. And one of the conditions they put forward is, ‘Don’t do anything that harms another person without their consent’.

I wouldn’t be where I am today if I had put up the condition of not harming anyone no matter what I did, saying, “I will not do anything that harms others.” However, if I set that condition aside, I will not be able to use my ability at all because of the possibility of harming myself by awakening my ability to someone.

The reason Eleista, the representative of Magistos, proposed to release me at the meeting of the representatives of the seven cities was, of course, to analyze and utilize my abilities. But instead of releasing it, disable the ability? That’s what jugaegjeondo is. That’s why they put a condition like ‘you can’t do anything that harms that person without the other person’s consent’. To prevent damage that may occur due to my ability as much as possible, and to avoid being harmed by my power even if something happens against me.

But in the end, they allowed an exceptional situation where I could harm others, and I took advantage of it in reverse.

“Before I gave all of you special powers, I received a promise from you all. In exchange for the powers, you promised to be loyal as my subordinates and be willing to face any punishment if you disobeyed them. Karun, you You have broken that oath. For your own good alone, you have betrayed others. So, as a reward for breaking your pact, I will take back more than you gave me.”

“…Fuck, if you want to try it, try it.”

I warned, and the traitor snorted and ignored my warning.

“Lifetime loyalty? Crazy. With this ability, I can live a new life again. Why should I sacrifice for this damn city when I can be rewarded again for everything I had to give up? I had no intention of doing that. There’s no way I’d give my allegiance to someone like you who suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the first place!”

“Yes. It is our boss that we owe our allegiance to, not someone like you who suddenly appeared.”

“I don’t know what you did to the bosses, but if you thought that we would act so meekly as you commanded, you’d be very mistaken.”

Encouraged by Karune’s evil cries, each of her companions used the abilities awakened through the seeds I had given them.

First of all, the traitor, who was a member of Dogye, limited the means of attack through [Just duel], The traitor from the U.F created a shadow to deal with me through [My idol], And the traitor who was collected from the acid family took out Armed the shadow with equipment.

[Just duel] Is an ability that selects an enemy and an ally one by one, allowing each other to attack only that target and not being attacked by other targets until either is unable to fight. [My Idol] Is the ability to create the shadow of the idol that the user thinks is the greatest, and lastly, [Army] Is the ability to have a subspace that can store weapons without limits.

The shadow created by the [My Idol] Of the U.F traitor is the shadow of the organization he belongs to, the U.F boss Mayer’s heyday. That shadow was armed with state-of-the-art equipment such as a full-body suit, laser blade, and machine gun that was taken from the [Armory Warehouse] And should have been confiscated after the battle with the Acid Family. The three abilities were optimized against a single powerful enemy. At that level, his overall combat power would be at the top level among A-ranks, and as an adventurer, he would be at the top level among platinum-level adventurers.

But what?

“You guys seem to be making a big mistake…”

As I clapped my hands together, the armed shadow melted away like a snowman under the sun, and the area the Dogye’s gang spread out also slowly faded and then disappeared.

“You didn’t think I could give you powers, but never get them back, right?”

Their ability, the power of imagery, is only possible thanks to the seeds they swallowed. Handling the power of imagery, which even those who have spent their whole lives clinging to sword training, barely able to do, as if moving their own limbs, is because the seeds rooted in their inner world play a role in connecting the boundary between their mind and reality. I mean it’s because

The seed is an object made with my power, and I can control the seed at any time.

In other words, if I put my mind to it… It means that I can make those who have awakened with my power into incompetents again, or I can turn them into monsters who have lost their humanity by exploding their abilities.

The faces of the traitors who had only now learned that I could reclaim their powers became contemplative. The reason they were able to stage this cute coup is because of the absolute confidence in the power they gained through the seeds they received from me. But what if I took that ability back? They don’t belong anywhere like before, they just live in this abandoned city because they can’t die, and even if their breath stops at some point, no one will remember them, but it means that they will return to being a single bug.

No, someone will remember. Even if you die in this city, there is no place to be buried, and you can’t leave it to rot, so there are people who would rather replace food that is lacking in this barren environment with dishes made from the remains. Someone might remember what their flesh tasted like.

“Ugh…!”

Those who believed in the ability they received from me and installed it, the atmosphere changed when they realized that I could show up and take that ability back. Realizing the consequences of their actions, they shrank with fear and lost the will to resist. Except for one person.

“Hey, don’t you come to your senses? Just because we surrender now, do you think that human being will forgive us and accept us again? Not at all! We will die horribly. As an example, horribly, so that those who rebel against us will never again appear.” It’s obvious that I’m going to kill you! So…”

“Shut up! Fuck you!”

The traitor Karun shouted to his comrades who had lost the will to surrender, not to give up, but all that came back was a cry of resentment.

“I told you that I would be able to live a proper life again! I told you to trust only you because I have a definite plan! We followed you all the way here just believing in your words, so what is this! I also lost the trust of the organization that contained the ! And now I’m on the verge of losing my life.

“You crazy bastard, you heard my plan from the beginning and thought it was okay and followed it!

“Even when he snitched, he was able to drop the plan too late and ask for forgiveness! But it happened because you urged him to hurry before it was too late!”

“Damn it, it didn’t fit that old empty bitch plan…”

“Fuck, fuck, fuck…!”

When people face a crisis, they react in two ways. Either join forces to overcome the situation, or divide and blame each other for all your faults.

Karun seemed unwilling to give up her resistance in order to somehow get out of this situation, but her allies who were acting with her had a completely different idea. The fact that they planned to betray me and leave this Landfill in the first place was only possible because of the assumption that they continued to possess the abilities I gave them. They stopped resisting when I realized I could recapture my powers any moment I wanted.

No wonder. If I had been a person who could live outside without my ability in the first place, there would be no way I would have stayed in this Landfill all this while.

“Sensei… We will surrender. So please don’t take away our lives and abilities…!”

“Please! Without this ability…We are nothing!”

“Looks like we lost our minds for a moment at the words of that wicked bitch. We won’t make this mistake again! Please, forgive me…!”

The three immediately surrendered by releasing the hostages and discarding the weapons in their hands. Now there is only one traitor left.

“Fuck…! Why the hell are you doing this!”

Driven into a corner, she started screaming at her in anger.

“It’s been so hard, but now I can start a new life again… Why are you stopping it! For a monster like you anyway, there’s something like me, but it’s mana! It’s okay to just let go!!”

“Is that all you mean by robbing the organization’s arsenal, stealing weapons, and taking outsiders hostage with it after failing to get out of the city?”

You can’t win with logic, so appeal to your emotions. It’s a really typical tactic. But the scale of what happened is too large to appeal to emotions.

For one’s own benefit, that’s all he said while putting the whole city in trouble. It can’t be a really selfish year.

Yes, what I understand that you don’t want to serve a guy like me who doesn’t know where he came from. But in the end, she did this to satisfy her own desires.

He seduced people of the same mind, betrayed the organization he had been in, robbed the organization’s arsenal, stole various weapons, and took innocent outsiders hostage for his own safety. No one would not know that what threatens the lives of outsiders is that the residents of this Landfill, where it is difficult for even animals to live properly, let alone farming, can cause a catastrophe that cuts off trade with the outside world, which is the only way to obtain food due to poisonous gas. , She ended up taking hostages.

Afterwards, other cities outside of Landfill may consider Landfill a dangerous place and stop exporting food, so that all the residents of Landfill may die of starvation, but at that time, he will not be in Landfill anyway, so it does not matter.

To say that he had all kinds of troublesome incidents going on, why are you so impatient that he couldn’t just let himself go? Is this a normal human way of thinking? Have I been living in a security-heavy landfill for so long that I can’t tell what’s wrong and what’s right?

“Shut up, shut up, shut up…!”

However, dialogue is only possible when both sides accept each other’s opinions and are willing to express their own opinions. Just as gears work only when they are meshed with each other, a conversation is only possible when both sides agree. No matter how much I lash out at you with facts, if she listens to all of my words behind her ears and she only takes out what she wants to say, the conversation doesn’t mesh.

In addition, just as a cornered rat bites off its natural enemy cat as a final struggle, she is currently holding the life of a person from outside Landfill as a hostage. The safety of her hostage cannot be guaranteed if she recklessly provokes her. Rather than the life or death of the person who became her hostage, to prevent the aftermath of her hostage’s loss of her life, I still try to persuade her to surrender herself instead of subduing her with her own power. Did.

“I, what did I do…! If you can do it, you can do it! If you can take it, take it, and if you can’t take it, don’t take it. Isn’t this Landfill’s way!”

Also, I can’t speak at all.

Eyes with blood vessels protruding as if they were very excited, breathing heavily and trembling hands. She is no longer in a condition to hear what I have to say. Conversation beyond this is meaningless with a person who has blocked her ears because she doesn’t want to hear what others have to say, and who spits out what she wants to say.

I couldn’t solve it with words, so I was beaten.

“I just did it the way Landfill did… Uh, uhhhhh…!!”

Shouting to break her throat, and growling as if she were about to pull the trigger of a gun aimed at the hostage’s forehead at any moment, her complexion suddenly turned pale, and soon, with a thunderous sound, she poured out everything contained in her body. Started vomiting on the floor. Looking at that alone, she would think she had eaten something wrong, but besides that, the simultaneous changes in her body showed that her condition was not just sudden dizziness and vomiting due to motion sickness.

“Wow, Uh eh eh eh …! Huh, huh, uh, uh, uh Ahhhhh!

They vomit relentlessly, then scream, complain of pain, then vomit again. And soon.

“I’m going to go to Shia, I’m going to go to Napa, I’m going to dig something, I’m going to dig a pyrun akkol Anyhow, I’m going to go through the pyrun akkol. Teff Why the hell are you doing that!!”

The horribly cracked voice becomes two, three, four.

“It hurts… It hurts… It hurts…”
“Fuck! I’m not doing anything wrong!”
“Eh eh …!”
“Forgive me. I was wrong. I’m sorry. I don’t want to hurt anymore…”
“Kkeuuuuu…!”

Her changed appearance was such a horrific sight that it was difficult to see her with her eyes open, so some people with weak stomachs vomited or fainted in severe cases. To that extent, her appearance was terrifying. As if handling a sculpture made by assembling human body parts, she has a bizarre shape that seems to have separated the body parts of about nine people and put them together as a single mass.

‘It’, which has a terrible shape that is hard to even call a human being, poured out different words from nine mouths all over the body, and when multiple mouths poured out different contents that were not properly organized at the same time, it was some kind of evil black magic sounded more ominous than the incantation of

Karune, her ability is [Cat’s Life]. True to the popular belief that cats have nine lives, her ability was the ability to revive up to eight times even if she died. Being able to come back to life even after dying is undoubtedly a powerful ability, but since there is no way to replenish the lost life, it is no different than an incompetent person who has consumed all of the added eight lives.

All sentient beings fear death and long for life, but Karun’s lust for life was stronger than most. Her ability to come back to life even after dying is due to her intense desire for life.

I let her power run wild, and the added eight lives were added to the current body, and the current horror occurred. Even if you fall into a furnace and die without leaving a trace, the ability to reconstruct your body at a designated time so that you can revive again, is applied repeatedly to your current body, giving you the appearance of a terrible monster with multiple body parts sprouting out of your normal body. It became.

I looked around for a moment before the terrifying figure writhing in pain to the point where I thought I’d rather die. It was confirmed that astonishment and fear were engraved in the eyes of the members of the organization. Seeing the terrifying sight far beyond common sense, no one could move. It seems that even his tongue stiffened in unfounded fear that if he screamed, he might end up like that too.

I have firmly inscribed in their heads that if they betray me, they will end up in such a terrible situation, so there will be no traitors who stab me in the future. Unless you’re a guy who really doesn’t value his life.

Now, then, it seems that the fear has been moderately reduced, so let’s take care of the aftermath. I stabilized her runaway abilities again, and the grotesque, swollen masses of flesh began to shrink again, like air deflated from a balloon. The body parts that sprouted as if grafting tree branches shrunk one by one and disappeared without a trace, and in its place was a woman with a horrendous face, her whole body stained with blue blood and bruises, and tears of blood flowing from her eyes. Sat down

“Ahhh…”

As if the rest of her screaming had given way to complete hoarseness, she groaned in a hoarse voice. But when she saw that there was still the venom in her eyes, she honestly admired me. Hey, one grit is great. She must have gone through tremendous pain after her own body had been torn apart and reassembled, but seeing her hatred of me outweighed her fear…

That time when I was about to reach out to take her life, thinking that even if this bitch was saved, someday she would stab me in the back again.

“Sir. Please wait a moment.”

As I parted through the hardened crowd due to the horrors of the past, Madam Yang, the owner of the organization Karun belonged to, the Red Lantern Society, approached me. I waited to see what the hell she was going to say, and then she knelt down at me with her back to Karune and said:

“The fault of a lower person must be held accountable by a higher person. I will accept all the damage caused by the children I have reaped.”
