I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.84 EP4. Contempt for the weak (1)

That life was destined to end in tragedy from the beginning… … .

The person who understood it best was none other than the person who walked through that life.

The afterimages of that day are etched in my mind at every moment of my life.

She even thought that it would be better to throw herself into the fire of hell, but she had no choice but to turn her back on the world with her own hands.

Because he knows that it is happening again even after he leaves.

Even after his existence disappeared from this world, he knew that someone was reaching out to him.

‘So even if I become a demon, I will end the fate that began on that day with my own hands.’

It was the only thing that led the life of a devastated woman.

“By the way, I never thought I would come back here again.”

After a long journey, we have arrived at an abandoned city.

Located in the mountainous area of ​​District E, this was a prosperous school district just 10 years ago.

but important

The failure of the research, the successive discipline of the person in charge, the pressure of the association and internal revelations, etc….

The splendid past is now only a trace of it.

‘It’s a funny story. How could the largest research facility collapse so much just by the loss of one specimen?’

Still, Seol Hwa-ran could not accept it well.

The reason the terrible things that were neglected in the name of justice collapsed was simply because the investment did not show results.

The death of the innocent victims was not commemorated, the sins of the ugly things that happened here were not asked, and even the truth was buried in darkness.

‘But the undisposed remnants are still buried underground. If we could somehow address the support we didn’t receive from the association, we could have continued the research until now.’

Rank-up, multi-gift treatment… and the social chaos that came from it.

That all of this was the result of selling the remnants of this city to the shadows, I had known before coming here.

– Kirik, squeaky!

Seolhwaran shoves through the door of the place where the mastermind is supposed to be and steps inside.

It was a place where memories of a time passed by, but now, all that is left is the void and darkness.

Other than that, are you concerned about dust?

Even though she was wearing a mask, she felt her breath suffocate, but she went inside the facility without hesitation.

Without hesitation, toward the facility full of darkness that is deeper than the darkness of dawn.

– Supportive, supportive.

At the end of the day, the only place where light shines in the dark.

In a messy, messy laboratory, countless unmaintained monitors were illuminating the interior, at least faintly.

Noise from all directions. In the pile of documents scattered across the desk without distinguishing the top and bottom, contents similar to those existing in his memory were written in a row.

And the frozen food packaging that exists in between. The expiration dates on the inside were marked differently, from several years to several months.

As if someone had visited this place periodically during that period, and taught me that he had spent some kind of time here.

“Hey, you have a guest.”

At that moment, someone’s voice was heard.

He felt his heart sink, but Seol Hwa-ran didn’t show any expression and straightened the collar of the hanbok she was wearing.

Yes, the time has finally come.

“… … Dr. Addment McCoy. Are you right?”

The person in charge of the research at the time, whom he had never met, who merely ran away.

After that, even after investigation, he was only seen on paper and on TV.

But Seol Hwa-ran instinctively noticed.

‘This is the man.’

Everything he had investigated, and every circumstance he saw here, taught him that the author was the subject of revenge.

“This is a nostalgic title. I hope there are still people who call this body a doctor.”

A man who bursts into laughter as he faces himself as if he did not read the emotions… … . No, should I call you old man?

“It is not wrong to say that we are continuing our research even at an already abandoned facility.”

“Khuhuhu, that’s a very grateful sound.”

After that, when he set foot in the light of the monitor from the dark, the figure of the person began to be revealed.

Wrinkled face with wrinkled eyes. White hair that isn’t properly trimmed… … .

Years pass by, but beyond that, the lack of proper management makes it even more debilitating.

“But I’m also sorry. I wanted to be called by that title again, not a villain like you, but the public.”

Even with such a body, McCoy is showing leeway.

He, too, has been serving in the association all the time… No, because he was an ‘executive’ belonging to the association.

“Did I say sulhwaran… … . It’s the first time we’ve met like this.”

A researcher who ruled the city at one time and even led the research conducted at this facility at one time.

Even such glory was terribly destroyed after his escape, but is it just a pity to continue research while avoiding the public eye, or is it just to overcome failure?

“By the way, why did you come to this humble place at a time when the assault on District B is in full swing?”

“… … You’re pretty relaxed. What is in front of you now is the body that was once an executive of an organization that almost destroyed the forces you supported.”

“Heh heh, first of all, as an executive of the association, isn’t it funny to be afraid of villains?”

“That’s also a story in a place that can be protected by the association.”

It is a story of the past that the association supported the research.

Even now, the association is trying to cover up what happened here, but he is deceiving the association’s eyes and continuing his research.

Not only his actions, but also the distribution channels of resources, and even the necessary manpower have all been thoroughly carried out through the shadows.

“You don’t think that you can get help from the power you have as an executive after erasing the traces like that, don’t you?”

She had already figured out all the routes that took place here.

That beings of the shadows could never protect him. Even if that were possible, he wouldn’t be able to stop him.

“A voice full of resentment. Hell, for you, as a villain, as a follower of justice, I deserve to be hostile.”

However, where did that leisure come from?

Just because you have faced many evils as a researcher and an executive of the association? Or is it that he himself is deeply stained with evil in the process of pursuing that path?

“But I am a little different. I’m more interested in you than resentful of you.”

“… interest?”

“Yeah, physics.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge would know just how deformed your powers are.

Wouldn’t it be strange to not be interested in extorting, since the premise is the ability to completely overturn the laws of thermodynamics?”

It sounds peaceful… … .

To say it so firmly, she too was feeling the sense of alienation in her own power.

No matter how mysterious a gift is, it is, in the end, only an ability to ‘convert oil to euro’.

something

In order to change, a catalyst is needed, and the pure physical power of superhuman force, which is just a human body, is also used to match each gift.

It is merely the result of application or change. You can never create something out of nothing, or create nothing out of nothing.

“But you

The power I have is not worthy of passing over that much. The total amount of energy that exists in the world is fixed, and if the temperature somewhere goes down, vice versa.

It’s inevitable that the temperature somewhere gets higher… But you’re only taking heat away, and you’ve never been able to release that heat before.

Haven’t you ever woken up?”

Absolute Zero.

Where did the heat stolen by that gift go?

It is impossible in physics to completely disappear. The same goes for passing through a gift.

As far as what is known so far.

“Yeah, the power you wield is only… … . It is not something that can be achieved with just a gift.”

However, if it’s not just to dissipate the heat that has been robbed, but to make it look like that by linking multiple abilities.

If not a single gift, but countless gifts put together like a puzzle, all of them were balanced to create a single ability called Absolute Zero.

“… … Who is it?”

Yeah, that’s all Dr. McCoy figured out.

It is not yet known what that power was created from.

“Who gave you that power?”

At that moment, my feet froze.

As the cold air that spreads from him fills the surroundings, Seolhwaran quietly begins to take control of her insides.

“I am under no obligation to answer that question.”

Have you forgotten too?

No, I thought it was better that way.

The reason I came here in the first place wasn’t to ask for atonement from him, it was because I couldn’t even call it a light outrage.

“I’m just fulfilling the reason I’m here…”

I just want to teach this world.

It is only natural that the evil that justice breeds hates justice and desires to punish them.

It is enough to just teach the world that it is inevitable in this age that evil like you are born.

“Yeah, the reason you’re buried here is just… I, the villain, came here.”

That’s enough.

– Jigsaw.

Right after I was about to swing the sword in my hand with such thoughts, the noise from the surroundings grew louder and my vision began to shake.

“… … uh?”

A momentary feeling of dizziness.

With him, her body leaned over, and then she plummeted to the ground.

– Jijijik, Jijik!

At that moment, the noise from the monitors in all directions begins to get louder.

No, this is noise from my head, not the monitor.

As if something had gone awry, strength was draining from his body, and his vision was greatly distorted.

As if to prove that it wasn’t just an illusion, the inside of my mask was gradually filled with a fishy smell.

“Multi-gift… … . It’s a technique I’ve been working on since I joined the Society.”

In the meantime, only his voice can be heard clearly.

A device caught my eye the moment I raised my stiff head following that voice.

It was a remote control with an antenna pointed towards him.

“Although everyone

There was an unfortunate incident of selling data to villains because it was a neglected research, but the damage caused by it was insignificant compared to the things to be gained later.

it’s just A device to control them has already been made, so if they are officially recognized, they will be able to catch them too.”

Yes, something coming out of that device is affecting my abilities and binding my body.

By applying a crack in the gap in the finished product created by balancing the many gifts he owns.

“By the way, weren’t you the one who had been active before I turned that research into the shadows?”

Executive Officer of the Association, Edment McCoy.

He was genuinely suspicious of her existence.

“Why are you affected by this control, who have never gone through my research?”

Why is it that an entity that has never been confronted is affected by its controls?

Also, why do you feel such a deep sense of déjà vu?
