Chapter 2218 – 2218. Gyeongseong 2033
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even when shot, they don’t get hit. It’s not that they’re dodging the bullets, but that they’re avoiding the gun’s muzzle itself. It was the limit of the gun. With just a gun, it was impossible to kill Go Gu-il.
Click, click.
The bullets were all gone.
Instead of changing the magazine, I pulled out my knife. He also pulled out a knife from his inner pocket.
“You’re going to have a knife fight? You moron. You can’t keep up with my speed.”
“Why aren’t you running away? I killed all your subordinates. You should be scared and run away. That’s what you are, isn’t it?”
Against the original protagonist, he was scared and ran away. He ran away after getting shot in the shoulder during a fight.
“Dead subordinates? I can refill them as much as I want. If I kill you, I’ll even get a medal from the Japanese Empire. Why should I run away from someone who can’t even keep up with my speed?”
“You little punk. Can’t you recognize the supreme one?”
Seeing this bastard not running away and confronting me makes me feel like I’m weaker than the original protagonist.
“You’re crazy. That’s what all terrorists are like.”
Go Gu-il accelerates and rushes straight at me.
I also accelerated. It was a new ability, but I wasn’t particularly worried. I’d already used acceleration to the point of exhaustion.
With the feeling of blood rushing through my whole body, the world seemed to stop.
‘…Huh? Did I use a fleeting moment?’
I stared at Go Gu-il rushing towards me. Now that I look, he’s moving little by little. The world didn’t stop; I just accelerated too much.
‘The original protagonist didn’t accelerate as if time had stopped…’
The acceleration ability in this world doesn’t accelerate so fast that you can’t react at all. Even ordinary people can react to an accelerator’s attack if they concentrate.
‘So, I’m special. The reason I’m special is…’
There could be many reasons, but it’s probably experience.
Acceleration was a skill I got soon after starting the game app. It was an ability I had used to the point of being sick of it.
‘…My head hurts a bit. Is this a side effect of acceleration?’
I probably can’t maintain it for too long or overuse it. I walked forward, cut his arms and legs, and moved back. I returned to my original speed.
“Kuaaaah!”
Go Gu-il’s arms and legs fell in the air, spewing out a fountain of blood. The guy who fell on the floor screamed.
“W-what did you do?!!”
“Can’t you tell? It’s Sandevistan. It’s a basic ability.”
He rolled his eyes as if he was flustered. He didn’t get the joke.
Click.
I reloaded the magazine and aimed the gun at his torso.
“Stop! If you’re going to kill me, kill me cleanly!”
“Understand. I want to use up the rest of the magazine.”
Even if a reinforced human’s limbs are cut off, they don’t die right away. They’ll last for tens of seconds even if their torso is riddled with holes.
I pulled the trigger and fired in full auto. The slide moved back and forth, ejecting the spent cartridges. In an instant, one magazine was emptied.
“You’re dying, feasting on bullets.”
“…You bastard… I’ll be waiting for you to fall in hell…!”
“There’s no such thing as hell, you traitor.”
I crouched down, held the knife, and aimed it at his neck. I decided to slice his neck for the last part.
Since he’s a member of the Righteous Army, I should give him a unique finishing line. I said to him in a solemn voice.
“Long live Korean independence.”
“…You crazy bastard. Keoeok!”
I confirmed Go Gu-il’s death and got up.
-Hey! Mad dog! Get out here now! We have to run before the cops come!
It didn’t even take three minutes for me to come to this building and kill everyone. There was still time.
“There’s still one person alive. Where are they hiding?”
-Is that important right now? The target is dead! Get out of the building right now!
“It’s my first mission. I have to handle it perfectly. I’ll find them myself.”
-Damn it. How is this crazy bastard our teammate… The bathroom! They’re in the second stall in the bathroom!
I headed to the bathroom. I could feel a presence in the second stall. They were holding their breath as much as possible, but they couldn’t fool my senses. I glanced below and couldn’t see their feet. They seemed to be squatting on the toilet.
I aimed the gun with the replaced magazine at the bathroom door. A thin wooden door. This kind of door can’t stop bullets. I pulled the trigger. I fired a burst. Red blood flowed on the bathroom tile floor.
A total of 29 people. I killed them all. It was a perfect assassination.
With a sense of accomplishment, I went down the building. People who were gathered to look at the corpses were startled and backed away when they saw me.
“Long live Korean independence~”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I fired celebratory shots into the air, and they screamed and scattered in panic.
-You crazy bastard! Why did you come out the front door?!
“I’m not a rat.”
-We could have handled it quietly! Where did you sell the silencer?!
“Using a silencer reduces the fun of shooting.”
-Seriously, damn it. Is this crazy psycho my colleague? What is the higher-up thinking?
“But my skills were perfect.”
-You bastard.
The sensor couldn’t deny it. They must have directly confirmed my skills with the mask on the Hahoe mask.
I got into the van that came out of the alley and returned to the Righteous Army’s secret hideout. And I was locked in a room. The reason I wasn’t taken to prison was probably because of the bomb collar around my neck.
‘Should I just flip everything over? No, should I play along for a bit?’
Since I’ve come to the world of a webtoon, I should enjoy it. And I also had to make a plan to kill the Japanese Prime Minister. Actually, there was no plan.
‘I guess I can just shoot and kill him when the Prime Minister comes out to give a speech. But when does the Prime Minister give a speech?’

The inside of the Righteous Army was in an uproar because of Sung Yu-jin’s problem.
“He killed all 29 people. His methods are too cruel. He could have infiltrated quietly, but he went straight in and annihilated the Gu-il faction. Sung Yu-jin is dangerous.”
“He did attract attention, but aren’t there already bounties on the heads of the Righteous Army’s action members? There’s no reason to act secretly now. The decisiveness and execution to wipe out pro-Japanese traitors at once. I like it very much.”
“Sung Yu-jin is a psycho. He enjoyed killing. He enjoyed the massacre. Remember what Sung Yu-jin said. Long live Korean independence? Long live? I doubt if Sung Yu-jin is interested in the independence of Korea.”
“He is the heir to a family of independence activists. Although his younger sibling committed treason, he came to us and even wore a bomb collar himself.”
“Everyone, calm down. Didn’t you see Sung Yu-jin’s outstanding skills through the video? Acceleration ability. A reinforced human who moves at an unprecedented speed. Sung Yu-jin’s ability is necessary for the cause.”
“But there are still unstable elements…”
“Unstable elements? Sung Yu-jin is our hunting dog. A hunting dog is disposed of after the hunt is over. We hold the leash of the hunting dog. We can control any unstable elements.”
“We will use Sung Yu-jin. More than that, I heard from an agent we planted in the cabinet that a new evolution serum has been developed. Can we get it?”
“We need to come up with a plan.”
“Those damn Japs. They must have made that evolution serum while killing our people…!”
“…Calm down. We must not lose our reason. We must maintain our composure. Keep that anger in your heart. The time for revenge will come someday when we can unleash that anger!”
The Japanese Empire is one of the great powers that rule the world along with Nazi Germany. While Nazi Germany developed mainly around robot science and technology, the Japanese Empire developed mainly around biological science and technology. Behind the development is Unit 731. A unit that kidnaps Koreans and conducts human experiments. The evolution serum, Jinka 66, was also a substance created by Unit 731.
“There is one more important matter. A European mafia has sent us an offer to sponsor us. There are no conditions for the sponsorship.”
“If there are no conditions, isn’t that a good thing?”
“There is intelligence that Nazi Germany is behind that mafia.”
“…Those Jewish exterminators?”
There are no Jews in this world. Nazi Germany exterminated them. Nazi Germany is a crazy bunch, just like their ally, the Japanese Empire.
“Recently, the atmosphere between the Japanese Empire and Nazi Germany has not been good. They are trying to compete in earnest for the true hegemony of the world.”
“If you’re talking about world hegemony…”
“America. Because it is surrounded by the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, it was difficult to conquer completely. Nazi Germany and the Japanese Empire are aiming for America.”
“…I feel sorry for America. After being sucked dry as a colony of the two empires for nearly 100 years, now their land is going to become a battlefield…”
“Who are you to feel sorry for them? This is an opportunity for us. Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese Empire is distracted by America… we must aim for independence. This is an opportunity that will not come again.”
“…It won’t be easy.”
“There is no one here who doesn’t know that. But we will not give up. Long live Korean independence.”
“Long live Korean independence.”

I was lectured by a Righteous Army executive and released from confinement. It seemed there was no particular punishment.
I searched for information about the Japanese Prime Minister on the laptop in my room. It was hard to find any useful information.
‘What is this? It’s a bit different from the Japanese Prime Minister I know.’
I checked the speech video of the Japanese Prime Minister, Ito Hisaburi. Dozens of professional bodyguards were densely packed around Prime Minister Ito. There was no sign of being complacent with peace.
After looking into it further, I found out that the Righteous Army had tried to assassinate the Prime Minister several times and failed, and the Prime Minister’s security had increased significantly.
‘My assassination plan to go and kill the Prime Minister…!’
Looking at the security level of Prime Minister Ito, it was absolutely not something I could assassinate alone. I needed some suitable bullet shields. The bullet shields could be… the Righteous Army.
‘That’s a pretty good plan. The Righteous Army will eventually aim to assassinate the Prime Minister.’
For the time being, I should obediently carry out the Righteous Army’s missions.
I got up from my seat.
Originally, I was going to take down Widow when I was a little more certain. But her I-cup breasts kept flashing before my eyes. If I didn’t take her down today, I wouldn’t be able to sleep.
