[Egostic’s followers are causing a bomb attack in the center of Incheon. They are now claiming to cause more explosions with bombs placed on the building. They are currently on a sit-in and share their desire of dying without any specific conditions. It is estimated that at least three people have died to this moment.]
I frowned as Seo-eun showed me the news.
Who are those bastards? Why are they selling me out while proclaiming themselves as my followers?
And what? They even caused casualties? They killed people?
Something twisted inside me.
Yesterday I tried so hard to raise awareness and create my public images.
And everything fell apart on the very next day.
Do you know that you are crossing the line, you bastards?
How dare you use my name and cause terrorism?
And in such an uncivilized and violent way. A shallow way that doesn’t suit me at all!
“……”
And people have died.
I swore to myself that I would never cause casualties to the people as I walked on this villain’s path.
But three people have died.
And now I am the one to blame because my followers did it.
The lives of those three.
With a stiff face, I said to Seo-eun sitting on the chair.
“Seo-eun, help me one more time. I have to deal with those brats and do something about the aftermath.”
“I knew that would happen, so I prepared it beforehand.”
Seo-eun searched through the drawer and handed me a phone.
Holding it in my hand, I walked towards the lift.
“Ha, haha.”
I forced a laugh.
Seriously.
Working non-stop two days in a row is a little too much.
***
The Superhero Association of Korea.
However, no one calls them that, the Hero Association.
Right now, the atmosphere of the Hero Association is intense.
“How is the current situation?”
Hearing the question from the president’s deep voice, the agent sitting at the front quickly spoke up.
“The criminals are still staging a sit-in at the scene. Right now, I believe there are about 300 hostages being isolated inside the building.”
“Any additional casualties?”
“Not yet.”
“Okay, I see. Are the heroes on their way?”
“We have C-class and B-class heroes on standby. But they’re threatening to detonate the bomb, so it’s hard to approach.”
“Damn it, those bastards. Did that Egostic bring them here?”
“We’re investigating their connection… but we still don’t know.”
“Alright, I see. Oh, yeah. Where is Stardus now?”
“She’s currently watching the situation nearby. She will probably make a sudden attack in case of an emergency.”
Like he said.
Shin Haru, Stardus, was watching the situation closely from the rooftop of a nearby building.
‘Damn it, what am I supposed to do…’
The reason why the Hero Association exists is simple.
It is hard for the police, which are just ordinary citizens, to catch other villains who can use superpower.
Technically, they want to use the superpowers to catch the superpowers.
Terrorism in this generation is almost entirely caused by people with superpowers.
Most of the terrorism are caused by either those who want to show off their power, hate the world, or who have been awakened as villains.
So, this is the first terrorism that was caused by normal people who do not use superpower.
The reason is…
‘Egostic, that punk.’
Shin Haru gritted her teeth.
The man clearly did not use much superpowers, but he still inspired others by the way he made pressure on the hero with only bombs.
‘No. It’s because of what happened the next day after what he caused.’
Yeah, the possibility will be rather high.
Or that he organized another large-scale terrorism in one day, which is impossible.
A planned crime is self-evidence.
‘I should have killed him yesterday… Wait, that?”
As soon as she found something, she got a call from her in-ear.
[Stardus, that Egostic guy has finally appeared. I repeat. Egostic himself seems to appear on the scene. Right now, the criminal is doing a live video of himself on Youtube. Please check it out right away.]
Even without hearing the urgent call from the headquarters, Shin Haru could see him at the moment.
Because there he is, Egostic standing in front of the building where the criminals took hostages.
“Youtube…?”
One of the contacts from the headquarters did say that he was doing a live video on Youtube.
She hurriedly turned on her phone and went into the app.
The video is currently topping the chart on the main page.
[Egostic LIVE]
She clicked on the video.
***
A building filled with cold tension.
A street that no one can see.
Something black appeared.
A black robe covers the whole body.
Black hair looks just like the clothes.
And a half-mask hides the face.
Yeah, it’s me, Egostic.
[What’s this?]
[Shit, a villain’s live broadcast]
[I think this Egostic bastard is live streaming the terrorism now.]
[The best villain of this generation, Egostic. Hahahaha]
[I had nothing to do today, but now it’s going to be interesting.]
[There are so many crazy bastards in the chatroom. It’s a crime scene, you punks.]
