I Became a Cop in the Superhero Genre

15 : What is the police in this world?

The first thing I did after being discharged from the hospital was to submit my resignation.

I don’t know if it’s because we don’t have a relationship, or if it’s because of the breath of high-ranking people who hated me in the first place. My resignation letter was accepted as if I had waited.

Like regular companies, you will retain your police status until the official document is processed, not the end of the letter of resignation. Looking at the speed at which the work is processed, it seems that it will be finished within a day or two.

He even gave me the kindness to pack up and rest for those two days.

I wondered if I had done something to dislike the high-ranking people. After thinking about it for about 10 seconds, I think I’ve done a lot of things that deserve to be hated.

It wasn’t strange that the clothes were already taken off when I thought about the work before that, starting with laying the market on the floor. huh.

“Are you really quitting? brother? Are you crazy?! They say the case is over! What’s wrong?!”

“Are you quitting just because you couldn’t catch that devil bitch!? How can we catch that monster?! calm down!”

“Hey Moonsu. I know what you’re feeling, but this isn’t much. You just have to close your eyes for a bit. Calm down.”

As I was cleaning up my seat with a smile, saying that it was good that I hadn’t been cut so far, my colleagues are holding me back.

Do you think I quit my job because of some responsibility? Right now I’m not quitting because of responsibility, but more like making a life-or-death decision.

It was clear from the news contents and movements that the high-ranking people had given up fighting Sai until he was discharged from the hospital.

The special law on social safety that the class president said was about taking measures such as amnesty only for those who have helped stabilize society, even if they are currently committing crimes using psychic powers.

The National Assembly is said to be preparing to pass such a dog by snatching.

But even after knowing this, the police can’t do anything, and rather say that if you express your dissatisfaction with this law in any way, you will be punished.

I don’t know if this is the democratic police or the 80’s police. No matter how weird the world view is, I seriously lost my mind.

Did all the police officers who tried to fight Sai die this time in an accident for some reason? I don’t know.

After the news that Mina hurt Sai and made her run away, there is no comment. the world is shit

I wanted to become a police officer from the beginning of my second life, but it’s true that I felt so queasy when that police officer quickly rotted away like this.

Oh, it was originally like that.

“Have a good day.”

I put the things I had left in the office in the box I brought. Even if I said things, it wasn’t that heavy because it was just a notebook with original contents written down and other miscellaneous things.

… … No matter how much it is, I have been rolling in the field for more than 10 years, so can I not have things like this? Isn’t this a bit much? Something feels strange about this.

I slowly looked back over 10 years of police life.

I just lived as a police officer number 1, and got involved with Mina and was dragged into the special task force. A crazy world view, the worst black man came in as an assistant shooter. I came here because I was liked by that crazy bitch.

When I think about the things that have happened since I came in as an adverb and until today, my head gets dizzy and I don’t want to think deeply.

Anyway, as a result of all that, I handed in my resignation. Once the official documents are processed, I will really quit the police force.

… … Come to think of it, quitting the police was a good thing. is it an illusion

Leaving the office with the box in a more relaxed mood than before. The class president blocked my way.

He stared at me for a moment, rubbed his shiny hair, and handed me a notebook.

“I left this. Are you going to leave this until the end?”

“?”

The class president hands over a notebook with the same design as the one I gave to the class president. I wondered what it meant to say that I forgot the notebook in the box.

The class president said with his eyes, “Take this,” without saying anything. When I quietly received the notebook, I caught an object with a familiar feel and shape under the notebook. It was a pistol.

… … What is this crazy old man doing now?

Terrified, I tried to push it away, but the class president shook his head with serious eyes.

“Baby. should have this … … Are you ready?”

“… … her.”

It was absurd how many people would take off their clothes if they were caught right now. Considering what I will do in the future, having a handgun is a great comfort.

That’s why I put the pistol under my notebook in my inside pocket to avoid the eyes and cameras around me. As it was, I ignored the conversations of my other colleagues and headed for the street.

People are trying to return to their daily lives despite anxiety at the news that all the supervillains have disappeared, and at the same time they have escaped after being seriously injured.

It was really sad to see people trying to go back to their daily lives somehow.

Even though the supervillains have disappeared, relationships still remain. Even if you can’t see them in front of your eyes, those supervillains aren’t gone forever.

Was it because he heard the news about how the police did it without knowing that New Hope lost, or did he do that to somehow forget his fear of supervillains?

When I turn on my cell phone, I haven’t even had a relationship with a supervillain yet, so there are people asking if it makes sense to do this, but those voices were in the minority.

There were a lot of people who were angry at people who said that, saying it’s all over, what bullshit?

Feeling stuffy, I was chewing the nicotine gum the class president recommended the other day before I reached my house.

Suddenly, a garbage dump in front of the house caught my eye. The night when it snowed. There was nothing like usual at the place where Sai met.

After I roughly threw away the useless things I brought to the dump, I headed to the nearby playground with only the notebook I wrote down on the contents of the original work and the remaining items.

In places where students seldom use it and where bullies or homeless people come more often, tin oil cans were placed instead of cigarettes as if it were natural.

“Patience.”

I spit the tasteless nicotine gum into the tin can, and I sat down in a chair. Nearby, a homeless elderly man was sitting and basking in the sun.

Next to the old man, an old radio was playing out-of-date popular songs with a blaring sound.

I put a cigarette in my mouth and opened the last page of the notebook where the original content was written. The phrase that describes Xi’s defeat continues to flicker in my eyes.

The contents of the original work have already gone beyond hell and into the inner core. Mina, who was her only hope, doesn’t appear to have been kidnapped by Sai.

The police gave up because all the people who tried to pursue Sai died, and the country secretly passed a strange law to please Sai.

The press is scared and doesn’t want to know exactly what’s going on, and people close their eyes.

In the novels I saw in my previous life, what goes according to the original? Is that destiny and it goes as it is? There were many novels of that type, but I hope this world will do the same.

Why do you say that when you know it’s not? Fuck you.

“The world is such a mess.”

“Tsk tsk tsk. The young man must have suffered a lot. the face doesn’t make sense Don’t put that in your mouth though. People’s words have magical powers, so if you put them into your mouth, bigger things happen.”

I shut my mouth to what the homeless elder said. Because it was right.

Even when things are already crappy enough, things can always turn out worse. That’s the truth and fact that I realized while suffering from Sai in the special investigation team.

which.

“detective… … sir.”

It was a phrase that could be used even in the present situation.

I looked at where Mina’s voice came from. There, Mina, who had a large piece of gauze attached to her face, approached me limping while clutching at the wound, looked at me and said urgently.

“thank god… … I barely escaped from between. I was really scared but… … But now, we’ve figured out where Sai is hiding. Detective. I am-“

“You, who showed up proudly after saying so much a week ago, are also really toxic.”

‘Sai’ in the form of Mina who curses at having escaped by luck. I looked at him with the greatest amount of disgust I could.

Then, the face that copied Mina’s mixed feelings of joy and urgency slowly changed into an expressionless expression, and then it changed into an expressionless expression that made you feel cold.

The guy spoke with his own voice while maintaining Mina’s face.

“You know, too.”

“Then, here’s a kid who will never be here. You think it’s a trick, what do you think?”

“Ah, that’s how you found out. I was a bit jealous I got it.”

Sai didn’t return to his original face and said while maintaining Mina’s face. That look was so damn awkward.

“Did you keep tailing me?”

“yes.”

“You’re proud.”

“Even though you knew anyway.”

Sai said that and sat next to him with light steps.

Among them, the scars on her body disappear like magic, and she seems to laugh or cry. He said with a strange smile.

“As I was talking with him, I became curious about many things. Can we talk for a moment? It’s just a simple conversation. I’d like to have some coffee with you.”

“He threatens the police.”

“Did you quit the police?”

“… … That’s right.”

I definitely resigned and came out, so I’m not even a police officer. Admittedly, I feel bad. I sighed deeply as I searched for something to say.

Due to Sai’s personality, I thought that he would come at least once to make up for the embarrassment of appearing after losing his temper before, but I never thought he’d come back as if he’d waited so long.

While admiring that one of the true powers of action is that he is a fast bitch, he pondered over what he said a moment ago.

The fact that I became curious while talking with Mina means that Mina is in a safe enough state to have a conversation.

It was fortunate. After all, it seems that they kidnapped her for a purpose, and Mina will be safe until that purpose is achieved.

The problem now is figuring out what its purpose is- yes, conversation. what good I have to do it.

I rubbed my chin and organized my thoughts. He spit out looking at the homeless elderly man, who was surprised to see the wounds suddenly healed.

“As you said, I’m going to have a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of”

That’s a really big fuss. I followed her with a cigarette in my mouth, leaving the homeless elderly woman behind.

*****

The place she took me was a familiar cafe. It was a cafe I often went to hang out when she was an assistant shooter.

It was a place where I often came to hang out because I liked the quietness where there were a moderate amount of people and it was not noisy at all. here today

Sitting at a cafe, we ordered coffee that we drank together while struggling late at night. In the meantime, people didn’t show interest in us at all.

It is already widely known that Mina is a new hope, and I became more famous after this incident.

When I walk down the street, people recognize at least 10 people and start talking to me, but I can’t believe I’m not interested in them at all.

—-It must have been something between them. I sighed deeply and followed the gap with my eyes.

Sai smiled awkwardly and brought two cups of coffee. I brought an iced americano without a straw and a cafe mocha that I drink.

Sai drank cafe mocha every time, and I drank ice americano.

Once, I found something on the Internet that was like a magic spell that women often drink, and I asked myself how to pronounce it.

… … Reminiscences are frequent these days. Is it because the time to die has come?

I was drinking the coffee she brought with my face contorted. Sai slowly looked at me and opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry about the last time. very… … I did something that wasn’t like me because I was emotionally agitated. Is your head okay, detective? Didn’t you get hurt?”

“Of course, why not?”

I replied with sarcasm to Sai’s words, and Sai looked at me with eyes filled with guilt that did not suit him.

Of course, it was clear that I was feeling guilty because I was hurt, not guilt about those who got hurt or died because I was caught up in it, even without asking.

Tired of cursing now, I asked as I shoved ice into my mouth.

“I apologized. So what do you want to say? Why did you take the little boy? What do you mean by choice?”

“… … Is it straight to the point? Wouldn’t it be nice to spend time just chatting like before?”

“you? with me?”

what is this year did you get the head wrong?

I was terrified to suddenly say nonsense and glared at the gap. Then, Sai smiled bitterly as if he was slightly hurt, but it felt strange to see him reacting like that while making Mina’s face.

Sai seems to have come to have a real, literal conversation. Is this a break? I leaned forward and glanced at the incapacitating syringe I always carried with me.

While I was in Mina’s form, I didn’t think I would do anything, so my instincts whispered that this was an opportunity.

Ignoring what my instincts were telling me with reason, I dipped my coffee in my mouth again.

There is no way that a woman as meticulous as a snake hiding in the bush would have come without any preparation.

If I want to make my plan successful and stop the relationship, it is impossible in a place where there are many people like this. So let’s focus on getting information on anything for now.

“Stop the small talk. What can I say? Wasn’t there a reason that kid had to come all the way to the face?”

“… … yes. Yes. Like I said, I had a lot of conversations with him. And I found that we are inherently different from the average person and that we are very similar in many places.”

“So I was curious. We are so alike, but why are we so different? What is the difference between a talking villain and a hero? Legally, both of us are criminals. It’s nothing more than a monster wielding unauthorized power.”

“Is it a moral difference? There is nothing as messy as the standard of morality people have? I admit I was wrong. But what is the difference between him and me?”

Sai paused for a moment. Then, his current appearance reflected in the glass. Mina’s face was distorted to the fullest, and she said as if asking herself a question.

“Why is it so different? That kid is so close to the detective that even if you imitate him perfectly, you’ll recognize it at once… … What is the difference between me and that child? … .”

While swallowing the words together with the breath as if in pain. I said with a straight face at the bullshit that denied her reality.

“Hey, anyway, you’re not like that. What kind of nonsensical self-justification did you fall for? really don’t go there You know everything, too.”

“What makes you different from that kid? Everyone knows. Didn’t you do this because you knew that?”

Sai will know. He did this because he knew that he couldn’t reflect on what he had done and that he couldn’t change the trajectory of his life like a shot arrow.

That’s why I believed that no matter how much it was, I wouldn’t seriously say bullshit like this between them.

If he said something from the bottom of his heart, something only those with broken heads would say, it seemed that he would go beyond hatred and not even feel worth dealing with.

There, fortunately, Sai heard me, opened her eyes wide, and nodded with a wry smile.

“… … You are also the vice-captain. Yeah, that’s bullshit. knowing all the different things. under. I never thought I would do such a pitiful self-denial.”

The look between them changed again. While copying Mina’s appearance, he revealed his true self.

Sai, with her long blonde hair and blue eyes, shed a tear as if she still had some humanity left.

“I enjoyed the conversation. Vice-captain. As a token of my appreciation, I will now tell you what I will do.”

“From now on, I will force people to choose. kill that child Or they will die.”

“People will be locked in this city and will have no choice but to make a choice. Those who were called supervillains have already turned into mutants in my hands. Their numbers and strength are enough to annihilate the people living in the city of Seoul.”

“I am convinced. People would choose to kill that child without hesitation in order to survive.”

“So, Vice-Captain. Please, vice-captain, do what you have to do. Just like it used to be.”

Sai left a meaningful statement and then kept his mouth shut. Soon, she disappeared from sight like a phantom.

As if to prove that what had happened so far was not a dream, the remaining Cafe Mocha was still hot. I quietly cleaned up the remaining coffee and washed my face dry.

Immediately after, the TV monitor in the cafe starts to crackle. After that, I heard the voice of the person I had heard next to me from the monitor.

“[ – hello. everyone. ]”

It was the voice between them.
