It’s a Villain， but People Like It 472

Chapter 472 – #473 Operation Octopus Hunt (2)

#473 Operation Octopus Hunt (2)

Civil complaints were managed up to the second floor, so we had to go up to the third floor to check if the heroes were infected. Fortunately, thanks to the head of the Valencia Association preparing the pass in advance, I was able to easily go up to the third floor.

[Name: Valen Nokia (Male/33 years old)]
[Psychic Power: Flame Eel (Lv.7)]
[Miracle given by a great and old one (Unlucky): Body Transformer (Lv.8), Regenerating Slime (Lv.8), Eyes Looking Through Walls (Lv.6), Body Enhancer (Lv.9), Rise of Wind (Lv.6), Steel Mole (Lv.7),…]

‘That bastard is also a monster.’

As I went up to the third floor, the number of tentacle infected people, or monsters, that was discovered increased. Certainly, it spread its tentacles around people with psychic powers rather than ordinary people.

‘But isn’t that limitless?’

Suddenly, I was curious about it.

To be honest, I thought there would be a limit to the number of psychic powers that tentacles can absorb. However, looking at those ridiculous numbers, it seems that there is no limit.

‘Does that make sense?’

What the hell are those tentacles made of so they don’t have limits?

‘Hmm… I’ll have to ask Gina to do some research.’

When I first discovered the tentacle, I casually passed by it, but now that I think about it, it’s not an ordinary thing. It was necessary to investigate closely.

I don’t know if there will be any meaningful results, but it was still worth a try just in case. If you’re lucky, you might get a clue about the tentacles.

It was better to do something than to do nothing.

‘Anyway, that bastard is also stored in my phone!’

After taking a picture of Valen Nokia, the hero name [Firero], He turned around. That guy was already the sixth infected.

“So I…”

Haha! He’s such a fun guy!”

“…”

Before leaving, I looked at Pyro, who was chatting with a fellow hero. The hero chatting with him was not infected.

The monster and the hero were having a pleasant conversation as usual.

“…”

Pyro is a B-class hero and I saw him for the first time today, but I heard a lot about him from the Ice Queen.

After a good time in bed, the Ice Queen tells me about her fellow heroes.

Some say that he is a model of a hero and someone lacks superpowers, but he never forgets his mission and always does his best.

And among the heroes the Ice Queen told me about, there was also Pyro over there.

He said that he has an excellent ability to control fire, including ignition, and works mainly at fire sites and always does his best for the safety of firefighters.

There are burn marks on his forearm, which he said were injured while rescuing firefighters and citizens trapped in the fire.

A ‘real hero’ who is just and prepared to get hurt to protect the citizens, that was the Ice Queen’s evaluation of Pyro.

“…”

Such a person was infected by the tentacles.

“It’s so damn good.”

When you become a monster, your intent to kill others boils over. He becomes honest about the dark desire hidden inside.

A real hero who saves people’s lives has become a real monster who harms people’s lives.

“Jimin must be having a hard time.”

My heart ached already when I thought of Ice Queen, who would be saddened by the fact that real heroes became monsters.

“I need to quickly find the white one and the black one and kill them.”

Once again, he vowed to kill the White Knight and the Shadow Killer. Even without those two, Dark City will be much more peaceful than before.

*****

I went around the Hero Association to check if the heroes were infected, and went straight to the head of the Valencia Association.

“I’m here.”

“Hmm…”

“Huh? Why?”

The president of the Valencia Association, who was leaning back in his chair, was watching my face closely.

“Is that really your face?”

“Can’t that be? I’m crazy and come here with my real face? I’m going.”

Crack-!

When I pulled the ball, the bast face was slightly torn.

“Tsk. Too bad.”

The president of the Valencia Association, who confirmed that I was wearing a bast mask, clicked his tongue as if regretting it.

‘As planned!’

Seeing that, I smiled inwardly. Now, the formula of ‘steel armor = a man in heat’ will completely disappear from his mind.

I sat across from him and said.

“Anyway, if you didn’t expect it, don’t pretend you’re sorry.”

“I will.”

“But the president of the association.”

“Why?”

“What kind of president of the association doesn’t even have a secretary? Did you fire him because you didn’t like it?”

By the way, Raonzena was the secretary of the president of the Valencia Association. But as she became my woman, she quit her secretary and picked a new one, she was told.

However, there was no secretary in front of the president’s office.

“What’s wrong? No matter how much I’m the president of the association, if I fire myself, I’ll be sued for unfair dismissal. I left work because something happened at home.”

“Ugh~ The secretary of the president of the association was a great job. Can’t you ask me to do that?”

“I’ll think about it if I quit being a villain.”

“Hmm… I’ve been seriously thinking about it, but it seems like a villain is more suitable for me than an old grandpa.”

“…”

The president of the Valencia Association glared at me fiercely. Giggle!

“Enough of farming… Have you finished checking?”

“Yes. Quite a few people have become monsters. Here, these are the people I have identified.”

I handed him the cell phone with the faces of people infected by the tentacles. After checking the photo album, the president of the Valencia Association drool.

“So many…”

“I told you that? The quickest way to deal with this issue is to minimize the damage. So, who says you’ll be messing around for three days?”

“Do you know how difficult it is to prepare without arousing their suspicions?

“I’m sure you’ll be able to do it. Anyway, I’m sure you’ve prepared well, right?”

“I’ve only prepared for three days, but where is anything certain? At times like this… What is it? A prayer meta? You should pray that things work out.”

“Oh, you’re a new generation.”

Do you know prayer meta? Our old man, he is quite a new generation.

“As I said three days ago, there shouldn’t be even the slightest gap.

The tentacle has the Jelly Master’s superpower [Regenerating Slime (Lv. 8)]. Even the smallest cracks were a way out for the monsters.

“Don’t worry. Even though it’s only three days, I’m ready to bloom.”

“Then let’s take a look at the list of heroes who will participate in the octopus hunt.”

“Ruler.”

The head of the Valencia Association gave me a list of S-class heroes.

The genifier.
Wind line.
Ether.
Pierrot.
Tough guy.
Ice Queen.

A total of 6 hero names were written on the paper.

Originally, there were more S-class heroes than this. However, as they died or changed routes, the available power was greatly reduced.

“… Tsk.”

When I saw the hero name written at the end, I clicked my tongue. The name of my lovely girl, the Ice Queen, was also written on it.

“…There’s even an ice queen? I asked her to take it out because she’s uncomfortable.”

It was obvious that the Ice Queen would be having a hard time, so I asked the Valencia Association president to remove her from the operation.

Of course, when talking to him, she made the excuse that the Ice Queen couldn’t eat her when she saw me, and that she was impatient and uncomfortable.

“Ice Queen is perfect against them.”

The president of the Valencia Association answered skillfully. It was true, so there was nothing to refute.

Jelly Master, the master of escape, was also trapped in the Ice Queen’s ice and could not escape. Even after she became an S-class hero, her ice became even harder.

No matter how many psychic powers she has, she can’t even dream of escaping once she’s trapped in Ice Queen’s ice. Aokiji is not the third admiral of the navy for nothing!

“Well, then there’s nothing you can do about it.”

The president of the association, who can be said to be the owner of this building, decided so. You just have to follow He just hoped that the Ice Queen would be less hurt in her heart.

“When do we start?”

“We have to protect people who haven’t become monsters… I’ll start it during work hours.”

*****

“Why are you gathering?”

“Tsk. What kind of a hero’s association doesn’t respect work hours? I’m afraid they’ll report it.”

People gathered in the Hero Association basement auditorium grumbled. It was time to leave work, and I couldn’t help but feel annoyed when they suddenly asked each department to gather in the basement auditorium.

“But why does this place smell so bad? They don’t clean it? It’s dusty!”

“I’m cleaning the Hero Association, but I’m going to have a good time… I’m going to have to take care of the cleaners!”

I was in a bad mood because I couldn’t get off work, but the smell in the auditorium was bad, so people’s mood was even worse.

“…”

“…”

Also, among the people gathered here were KTV agents, from whom defectors appeared one after another a while ago.

It was then.

Damn it-!

“Huh?”

“What?!”

“The door is frozen!”

People panicked when the door to the underground auditorium suddenly froze.

“Everyone get out of the way!”

Then, a hero with body enhancer psychic powers approached the frozen door.

“Ha!”

Thud-!

“What?!”

“You’re not even scratched!”

Hero hit the frozen door with all his might, but the ice didn’t crack at all. People were shocked to see it.

After that, many heroes came out, but the frozen door seldom thought about breaking.

“I hope this…”

“Ice Queen?”

Only then did people realize that the ice was not ordinary ice. And I also noticed that the only person who can handle ice like this is the Ice Queen in the Dark City.

“Why on earth is the Ice Queen…?”

-Ah, can you hear my voice, gentlemen?

At that time, the voice of the president of the Valencia Association resonated in the auditorium.

“The president of the association?”

“What the hell is this!”

Embarrassed people protested to the president of the Valencia Association. No matter how much power he possessed within the Hero Association, confining people to unventilated underground auditoriums during work hours was clearly an overkill.

-First of all, before we start in earnest, I’d like to ask you one thing.

“You’re crazy! Even if the president of the association is crazy, he’s crazy!”

People burst into anger at the appearance of the president of the Valencia Association, who did not even explain the current situation and just said what he had to say.

– Why did you turn away?

“…”

“…”

The people who had been clamoring for the word ‘apostasy’ shut up all at once. And they looked at each other at the same time as if they had promised.

“…!”

And as if realizing something, their eyes widened to the size of a lantern.

“… Chairman of the association. Isn’t your mind going crazy? Why do we betray the Hero Association? What’s missing?”

A hero protested, but it was too late. The mere fact that so many people were silent at the same time was half the same as saying that they had defected.

-That’s right. What was it that made you regret it? I’m curious about that too.

“Ha! What is that? Are you suspecting us of being renegades without any proof? I’ll tell you right here. We are not renegades!”

-Who the hell are you? Who made you renegades?

“Damn… What are we doing now!”

“The president of the association.”

At that time, a middle-aged man in combat uniform like a soldier stepped forward. He was the team leader of the 1st team of special forces KTV.

“I received a report a few days ago that the Agents of Team 3 betrayed you. If it is because of that incident… I will take responsibility. I will take responsibility for everything, so please stop at this point. These people are the core and future of the Hero Association. Now The president’s actions shake the foundation of the Hero Association.”

“Oh, I can’t wait any longer.”

“…”

When the man who was leaning his back against the wall spoke, the 1st team leader looked at the man with a hard face.

“Jong-al jjong-al jjong-al jjong-al, why are the renegade bastards talking so much?”

The man, Steel Armor, gave a fishy smile.

“Are you really going to kill everyone?”
