Korea was reeling from an unexpected ‘serial murder incident’.
“A report has come in!”
“Again? No, this kid doesn’t even sleep? He doesn’t even eat?!”
Decapitated corpses are found everywhere, day and night.
The association receives frequent reports of phone calls.
Because of that, the Hunter Association staff were having a hectic day.
“Why on earth are you so enthusiastic about this!”
It wasn’t really a mess.
A world where serial killers are active day and night, committing murder as a hobby.
But surprisingly, there was no confusion among citizens.
Rather, the prevailing reaction was welcoming and the atmosphere was supportive of the murderer.
-Wow! You did something great today!
-Tsk tsk, the news is late. You’ve already played three games today.

-Wow! You really did it three times!
-Busy, busy! Modern society!
-You work hard. I respect you.
It had to be that way.
Because the corpses that were discovered were all either villains or criminals who deserved to die.
There were no exceptions.
Even if the corpse wasn’t on the villain list, once the investigation began, the heinous crimes committed behind the scenes were clearly revealed.
The fact that unregistered villains who had not registered as hunters were carrying out criminal activities in the shadows was being revealed day by day.
It is only natural that the popularity of serial killers who hunt down and mercilessly cut off the heads of those who commit such crimes and then suddenly disappear is skyrocketing.
People were calling him ‘Vigilante’.
There were also successive testimonies from citizens who had their lives saved by Vigilante.
-Breaking News) “I thank the person who saved me.”
(Interview video) “He is the savior of my life.”
(Personal statement) “I really hope you don’t get caught until the end.”
-News) Vigilante! South Korea is now a villain-free zone!
-ㅋㅋ It’s so weird that a vigilante group like the one you only see in movies is emerging in our country.
-The police and the association hunters are going to be furious, but it’s good that the cheapskates are dead.
-Vigilante, I support you.
-222 I’m rooting for you.

-Please be a righteous killer today too.
Thanks to this, only the police and the Hunter Association were left frustrated.
“You’re really making such annoying noises!”
“If this is how it is going to be, why do we have laws?”
“It’s the end of the world, the end of the world. A crazy world where serial killers are popular.”
The Republic of Korea was a country strictly governed by the rule of law.
This act of ignoring the law and directly punishing criminals was clearly illegal.
There are different levels of crime, but Vigilante was only punishing his crimes with murder.
Although the targets of his crimes are limited to villains for now, no one can be sure when Vigilante’s sword might suddenly turn against innocent citizens.
“Me, but… … . Like this comment says, I’m still only killing cheap guys.”
“This kid! Is that something that should come out of our mouths?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“Use it.”
They were seniors who would nag new employees and old farts at them without being able to recover their principal after saying the wrong thing even once.
“Why doesn’t anyone recognize the face of a guy who runs wild like this?”
“You couldn’t see it because it was dark? How can that be? It’s obvious that they’re hiding their identity because you helped them!”
“First of all, it is certain that he has stealth skills. It makes no sense that he went on a rampage like this without being caught on CCTV.”
Hororok.
Director Lee Se-hwan, who was leisurely watching his employees who looked so busy, leaned back against the window with a cup of mixed coffee in his mouth.
Then I turned my gaze and looked out the window where darkness had fallen.
“… … .”
The world is going crazy, but mixed coffee is still sweet.
After a worldwide cataclysm.
Every day was a battlefield for the association staff due to the urgent incidents and accidents that came in every day.
As I was running around like crazy, I got promoted, my pay grade went up, and I even became a headquarters manager.
‘I told you, you don’t know what life is like.’
Life really rolls along in a strange way.
It seems like only yesterday that I took the police exam, became a rookie detective, and followed my scary senior around to catch criminals.
‘… … I’ve been thinking about that time a lot lately.’
Criminals suddenly found dead?
I don’t know why they’re making such a fuss about what’s so strange about it.
‘It was common back in my day.’
In the old days, there were even many people who came to us crying and begging to be arrested and turned themselves in.
He said that if he didn’t embroider, he would be eaten too or something.
‘… … Hehe. That was truly a time of romance.’

It was Chief Lee Se-hwan who was recalling the glory of the past when the arrest rate was ranked first in the country.
Hororok.
Of course, if I say something like that, I’ll be called an old fart.
Chief Lee Se-hwan, who was sipping coffee alone and laughing, was now staring blankly at the glass doorway out of habit.
As if waiting for someone.
His gaze gradually deepened.
This place, which was once the Central Police Station, was incorporated into the Hunter Association in an unusual move when Woo Jin-cheol became the association’s president.
But only the sign has changed.
As I blankly stare at this place, which still has the same interior as it was back then, faded memories that I had forgotten because I was busy come flooding back vividly.
‘… … Where on earth are you and what are you doing, brother?’
It’s already been more than 5 years.
A legend in the violent crimes unit, he was a heavenly senior and colleague to Chief Lee Se-hwan.
The map where ‘Detective Sung Jin-woo’ suddenly disappeared.
Looking back, every moment I spent with him was the most shining and brilliant moment of my detective career.
I missed those days so much.
‘I hope you are doing well wherever you are, but could you please come back soon?’
Yeah, actually, I’m not worried at all.
Because he was a very elusive person even in normal times.
So when he suddenly disappeared, no one was too worried.
I firmly believed that, as always, he would go off to solve some case on his own.
I had no doubt that one day, suddenly, with a calm expression on his face, he would catch the criminals one by one like candy.
But it’s been like that for over 5 years.
He still hadn’t come back.
Squeak-
“……uh?”
For a moment, Chief Lee Se-hwan doubted his eyes.
Suddenly the door opened and a familiar face came inside.
Catching those guys who look rough at first glance one after another like candy!
“Tongue, bro? No, no… …!”
Suddenly, I came to my senses.
Chief Lee Se-hwan took back the words he had blurted out in an instant, wiped his eyes, and looked at the other person again.
He’s too young to be Seong Jinwoo’s older brother!
But that face… … !
They look so much alike that it’s hard to believe they’re my biological sons, huh?
“Huh? Huh huh huh?”

“Hello. My name is Seong Su-ho. I have something to report… … .”
“As expected!”
The association staff couldn’t help but be quite flustered when they saw Chief Lee Se-hwan suddenly running towards Su-ho out of breath.
and.
Wow!
“Hahaha! You are Suho!”
“Huh? Yes?”
This time it was Suho’s turn to panic.
Lee Se-hwan was a colleague who had worked with Sung Jin-woo for a long time. He knew his son’s name very well.
I had seen pictures of him when he was young. Of course, this was the first time I had seen him grown up like this.
I couldn’t help but burst into tears the moment I saw Suho’s face.
It was because his face overlapped a lot with his father’s appearance.
“Oh my, I’m sorry. I was being rude. Ahem. You’re Seong Jin-woo’s son, right?”
“Do you know my father?”
“I know. I was your dad’s direct henchman, you punk! Hahahaha!”
Chief Lee Se-hwan released Su-ho, who had been hugging him without warning, and introduced himself while laughing heartily.
“I see. Hello. My name is Seong Su-ho.”
It was Suho who suddenly met his father’s subordinate by chance.
But if you think about it, it wasn’t that strange.
Just two years ago, this was the police station near the house where my father had worked for a long time, and all of the police officers there who had awakened were transferred to the Hunter Association.
It was only natural that there were one or two people left who knew my father.
Although it was a bit of an awkward situation, Suho first handed over the guys he had caught to the association staff.
“I caught him on the way here. He seemed like a villain, but I guess they didn’t kill him because he was a petty criminal.”
“hmm?”
The association staff tilted their heads at the words that contained a strange meaning.
And then, a little too late, I noticed that the villains who had been dragged in by Suho had faces filled with fear.
After comparing their faces one by one, they were indeed the petty criminals that Soo-ho had said were wanted.
‘But why are these guys so scared?’
Just looking at the expressions on these guys’ faces, they didn’t look like villains, but rather like victims who barely survived a brutal murder scene.
“Oh, and if you go to this address, there will be a few dead bodies. It should have been reported by now, so if you check… … .”
“Vigilante?!”
Suho shook his head with a bitter smile as he looked at the burdensome gazes focused on him almost as if he was having a seizure.
“I don’t know much about that either.”
I drew a line because I thought it would be annoying.
‘Kira, this guy, how much have you screwed over in just a few days?’

When I went out to hunt villains with Harmakan, the corpses were disposed of cleanly, so it wasn’t such a big issue.
But when Kira was left alone, she became a very famous person.
‘Let’s see later.’
However, it was still ambiguous to scold him for his mistake.
It seems like he only killed the ones he really wanted to kill, out of fear of getting in trouble for them later.
The petty criminals who remained at the scene are evidence of this.
‘for a moment.’
Suddenly, I had an ominous feeling.
‘Could it be in India too?’
Kira is in India now.
There, you will follow Rio Sing’s shadow and follow him, as per the original orders.
Rio Singh decided to stay in India for the time being to sort things out.
As Liu Zhikang returned to China, he sent other shadow soldiers to follow him.
In this way, whenever there was an opportunity, shadow soldiers were spread all over the world, so that whenever and wherever traces of a foreign religion were discovered, they could be immediately dispatched through shadow exchanges like this.
But looking at the situation going back, it didn’t seem like Kira would be able to stay quiet in India either.
‘Well, I guess I’ll just do it myself.’
I had no intention of stopping you as long as you kept your distance.
It was a common truism in the hunter world that for every villain eliminated, 100 innocent lives were saved.
Of course, I also heard this from Kira.
“anyway.”
Kira’s work was out of the question, and Soo-ho brought up the real reason he came here.
It was fortunate that the person who happened to be my father’s subordinate was a high-ranking person.
Suho glanced at the name tag hanging around Chief Lee Se-hwan’s neck and introduced himself formally.
“Chief Lee Se-hwan, let me introduce myself again. I am the representative of the Woojin Guild, Hunter Seong Su-ho. I came here on another business.”
Stop.
“……what?”
Chief Lee Se-hwan, who had been happily looking at Su-ho’s face and saying that he resembled his father, had his expression hardened the moment he heard Su-ho’s words.
“You’re the representative of the Woojin Guild?”
Oh, that makes a difference.
When Chief Lee Se-hwan looked at Su-ho again, Lee Chae came to mind.
I realized it a little late because I was too excited.
By the way, this guy’s name is ‘Seong Su-ho’.
‘Anyway, really… … I wonder whose son he is.’
Sigh, I burst out laughing.
