Chapter 98 – #99 the Battle for the Siren’s Heart (1)
#99 Siren’s Heart Battle (1)
When we got home, Alice greeted us.
“How was the siren’s heart?”
“It was really pretty. And you know what’s strange? If you spray seawater on a siren’s heart, it makes a singing sound.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. How beautiful the singing voice is… And you know…”
Gina and Alice started a girls talk on the subject of the siren’s heart. I left them alone and went up to the 7th floor alone.
“I’m Yuna…”
– Yes master!
“You have work to do.”
– Just talk.
“Therefore…”
I immediately called Yuna and told her what to do. Mark Tu gave an order to Carinvia, who could be said to be the first Villain subordinate, including Jungbo. In addition to that, other clones pecked at the thugs and gathered weapons.
“Tsk. Time is running out.”
With a light heart, he tried to steal the siren’s heart. Even if she couldn’t steal it, she would feel sorry for Elise, but it wouldn’t be too bad.
So, although I’ve been busy running around for the past week, I haven’t prepared much to steal the heart of a siren. I planned to move spontaneously, relying on my psychic powers and wit.
However, since the quest was given and special rewards were given, I was in a position where I had to have the Siren’s heart.
If this kind of quest had been given right away, I wouldn’t have wasted my time. It was very sad.
“This means that on the last day we have to go all-in…”
Even if I had to work overtime right now to prepare, I didn’t have enough time. To increase the chances of stealing even a little, I had to risk everything on the last day the Siren’s heart was on display.
“Are you going to tell Mom and Dad?”
The easiest way is to tell your mom and dad who you are and offer your hand. The two are specialists in stealing, and of course they must be planning a much safer and neater method than me.
If the two of us and I join forces, the difficulty will drastically drop, even if the aces of the Hero Association are guarding it.
“Hmm… Ah, then that’s too boring. Let’s leave that as a last resort.”
But there is one problem with this, and then I have to tell you who I am. My dad seemed to have noticed that I was a steel armor, but my mom didn’t. Dad’s not the kind of person to tell her mom that.
The reason why I created the psychic power of a clone magician was not only because I needed someone to protect the children, but also to hide my identity. There was nothing easier to create an alibi than an alter ego.
Hiding my identity is the core of my villain concept.
Although I couldn’t keep the concept of being a taciturn but cool manly villain, I wanted to keep the concept of hiding my identity.
Anyway, telling dad and mom is a real last resort idea.
“I’ll have to go tomorrow as well.”
*****
“Ohhh…!”
“Holy Shack! That’s not the beauty of this world!”
“Besides, how about that song! It’s a melody that I’ll never get tired of listening to for the rest of my life!”
“Ah… The evil! The evil comes to mind! But compared to that song, my evil is rubbish! I’m incorrigible trash! I’m a trash man with no more than a siren’s heart!”
The second day was more crowded than yesterday, probably because the rumors about the siren’s heart had spread. Maybe tomorrow more people will come. Maybe there’s no room to set foot.
‘The Siren’s heart is revealed from 22:00 to 22:30. It is only open for 30 minutes. Until the heart of the siren is displayed, the genifier and the tough guy stand on either side and mark closely, 10 class A heroes wait inside the sea coffin, 15 class A heroes inside the museum, and finally, class A and class B heroes outside the museum 30 people stand guard. A total of 57 people.’
Shit like this.
To think that heroes who are responsible for the safety of citizens from villains rushed to protect one artifact! A whopping 1/6 of the Hero Association’s total power was put into guarding this artifact. That is a loss of qualifications as a hero!
Of course, it’s not that I don’t understand.
How many heroes have died to kill a monster called the Siren. The Siren’s heart was the heart of the monster that the senior heroes sacrificed their lives to take out and process.
For heroes, the siren’s heart is an important treasure with considerable meaning.
It is though! Does 57 make sense?! There’s nothing to do?!
“Mom, but Dad isn’t coming today?”
“Huh? Yeah. I’m busy with work.”
“I see.”
It’s not that you’re busy with work, you’re busy preparing.
My mom and I rolled our eyes, figuring out where the heroes were located and whether there was a secret infiltration route.
‘What?’
As I looked around, I saw Han Ji-min in my eyes. Her hidden identity was Ice Queen, an A-class hero whom the Hero Association promoted as the next S-class hero.
‘Why is he here… Oh, he’s working undercover?’
She is not an ice queen who will attend two days in a row to see the heart of a siren even if she is busy beating the villain.
Besides, was she not in such anguish as to ask me what justice was?
If such an ice queen participated in this event twice in a row, it was obvious that she would not even know what her intentions were.
An undercover or plainclothes cop.
If the other heroes wear costumes and openly stand guard, Ice Queen secretly stands guard as a participant.
“Tsk.”
There’s no way the evil hero sent her alone. Obviously, there must be more heroes present in this place besides her, hiding her identity.
‘Then at least 58 people.’
Difficulty increased slightly.
*****
A day passed and the Siren’s heart was displayed on the last day.
“Ah… I haven’t been able to sleep since I saw the siren’s heart.”
“So do you? So do I. Even when I open or close my eyes, the siren’s heart always comes to mind, and her singing continues to linger in my ears.”
“How nice would it be if I could have that?”
“Then there must be no wish. But even if it goes up for auction, we won’t be able to buy it, right?”
“I guess so. Ha…”
I could hear the chatter of noble ladies wearing expensive-looking accessories.
Auction…
‘It must be really terribly expensive, right?’
When the siren’s heart was auctioned off, I couldn’t imagine how much the winning bid would be. She has adapted to life as a chaebol second generation, so her spending has grown incomparably compared to when she was a Korean, but I couldn’t imagine it.
Will there really be an astronomical amount? It’s probably money that can buy the entire Dark City. Of course, even Dad couldn’t pay that kind of money.
As I expected, on the third day, a huge number of people gathered.
It is safe to say that even though the Akradan Museum only sent invitations to the upper classes, the fact that so many people gathered meant that virtually all of the upper classes in the Dark City had gathered.
“If we drop a bomb here, we’ll panic.”
Immediately, the upper class, such as the mayor, politicians, prosecutors, and judges, starting with the people in charge of the economy of the dark city, such as my family, the Francesco family, and the Gwen family, all mobilized.
If all these people die, Dark City will be reborn as a lawless city that day.
Of course, that never happened. This is because there were more heroes standing guard than the day before.
‘By the way, can’t you see Duran? Where did this bastard go?’
I looked in the direction of the Francescos, but my friend Duran was nowhere to be seen. I need to get on his nerves.
“Mom, isn’t Daddy coming today?”
“Yeah. How many things does Dad have to do?”
“I see.”
Dad didn’t come today. But you can tell. That today is the D-Day prepared by the two of you. Because I also set today as D-Day.
There is no chance to steal the siren’s heart unless today is the last time the siren’s heart is on display. After today, the Siren’s heart will be stored in a place no one knows.
“Today is the last day that the Siren’s heart is on display. I hope that the distinguished guests will enjoy the state of the Siren’s heart to their heart’s content.”
At 10:00 PM, the heart of the siren appeared in front of the people again.
And-
“Kyaaaaah
“Kill them all!”
Gunshots, screams, and gruff voices could be heard outside the museum.
The real party has begun.
*****
‘I knew it.’
Checking the time, I nodded my head saying I knew that in my heart.
It is a work made by cutting and processing the heart of a monster. Is it just me, dad, and mom who are aiming for that?
Although fearsome heroes were guarding it, there was no way the heroes could be seen in the eyes of the villains who were aiming for a quick fortune.
Greed used to make people stupid.
“Stay still!”
“Siren’s heart! The siren’s heart is over there!”
“If I had that, I wouldn’t have to live like this anymore!”
Outside the museum, greed-blinded criminals and heroes collided. The criminals were mixed with the villains. Fire and lightning flew across the sky.
“Aaaaagh!”
“Sa, save me!”
“Stay still!”
However, the tide quickly turned sharply to one side. The heroes lightly subdued the villains and criminals.
It was natural. They are not just-debuted idiot heroes, but experienced A-class and B-class heroes. Even among B-class heroes, there were only heroes who were on the verge of being promoted to A-class.
There was no choice but to make an overwhelming difference in power.
I, who was watching her, called Yuna.
“Are you ready?”
– Yes master! I did as you said!
“Okay, good job. Then see you later.”
-Yes!
After hanging up, I took out a mask from the inside pocket of my suit and put it on her face.
“Write it~ Ha ha…”
Overwhelming confidence began to rise from the depths of his heart. Who will stop me
‘It begins.’
‘Okay. Good work, body!’
‘OK.’
Currently, what is with Mom and Gina in the museum is not the main body, but Mark Sam, an alter ego. Armed with four level 10 psychic powers, I was waiting outside the museum.
Who will be the biggest obstacle to stealing the siren’s heart?
He was, of course, an S-class hero.
Since the two S-class heroes were guarding the Siren’s heart closely on both sides, it was virtually impossible to break through them and steal the Siren’s heart.
So, either or both of them had to be induced out of the museum.
‘You start the mark too.’
‘Okay.’
Likewise, he gave an order to Maktu, who was waiting outside. Then, terrifying skeletons approached the front of the museum.
“Huh? That’s…”
“Skull Head?”
The heroes who were arresting the villains and criminals immediately recognized the gangsters approaching the museum. The perverts who shaved their heads and tattooed skulls were the only ones I had.
“Damn it! Steel armor appeared!”
“Call me inside right away!”
The heroes who found me in the lead of the crowd bit their lips. The existence of an S-class villain was bound to be a great pressure, no matter how much it was an A-class hero.
The heroes couldn’t rush at me.
After confirming that the heroes were contacting the inside, I gave an order to the gangsters.
“Shoot.”
Pong-! Pong-! Pong-! Pong-! Pong-!
“Huh?”
The gangsters who stopped with the road in front of them stood in a line and fired what they were holding in their hands all at once. Smoke billowed from the canister that fell in front of the heroes.
“Ugh!”
“Wind psychics, get rid of the smoke screen quickly!”
In an instant, the heroes trapped in the smoke screen panicked. A psychic with wind powers tried to clear the smoke screen by using psychic powers.
Oh hey, that can’t be
Taking advantage of the heroes’ panic, I infiltrated the smoke and used my skill.
‘A world of zero gravity.’
“Uh, uh uh?”
“What’s this?”
“Suddenly, what is this…!”
As the gravity of this area disappeared, the bodies of the heroes began to rise upwards all at once. They tried to come down to the ground, but they struggled and could not come down to the ground.
‘Manpower.’
“Huh? Aaaaagh?!”
Like a fisherman who catches fish as it is, he caught the heroes one by one with his manpower skill and fed them with his fists. The hero who was hit by nuclear honey night lost his mind.
Now, what kind of S-class hero will come out?
When I was diligently snatching out the heroes one by one in the smoke screen, four people finally appeared in the museum.
3 class A heroes, and…
“Steel Armor!”
The genifier appeared.
