The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 224: Identity

In the world of superhero comics, there are countless villains, each with their unique abilities and charm. These villains often showcase their individual appeal while challenging the protagonist. Among them, the villains with captivating abilities and personalities tend to be popular among readers.

However, now that I've fallen into this superhero comic world, what's important about these villains is not their powers. What truly matters is their character. Whether they were once good and fell from grace due to certain circumstances, or if they were inherently evil to begin with. That's what's important. If a villain was once good, removing the catalyst for their fall would be sufficient. However, as there are more villains who were inherently evil, it's best to just nurture Stardus to defeat them then send them to prison.

And most importantly, the wicked ones.

Those with overwhelmingly powerful abilities or those who have killed dozens or even hundreds of people. Dealing with such individuals is a necessity before any further sacrifices are made, before Stardus cannot save them, and before she feels guilty for failing to do so.

However, among these villains, there are those whose identities I already know, thanks to the original story, while there are others whose identities remain completely unknown. Especially the ones who suddenly appeared after the Moonlight Gate incident, the comic didn't provide any description of their identities. This means that I have to find them with the minimum information available within this world. In reality, with the population of South Korea, this would seem like an impossible task. But with the combined power of Lee Seola, who controls South Korea's authority and personal information, and the genius hacker Seo-eun, nothing is impossible.

And so, one morning, Seo-eun found yet another person from the list I gave her.

"Da-in, I found one more person on the list you gave me. I think it's this man."

"Really? Let me see."

It was a day like any other when I was working on the sofa. Seo-eun approached me with her laptop and showed me a picture of the man in question.

A face that seemed to exude a strong impression, a bald man with a shaven head. Alongside his picture were details about his identity, his career, and something found at his home.

Seeing all this, I was convinced.

"It's him."

A villain who appeared in the original story, known as "The Scream Maker." He would wear a backpack-like device containing a gas tank and release gas attacks through a nozzle connected by a cord. If it follows the original story, he probably appeared during the chaos after the Moonlight Gate incident, just like other villains.

"..."

The Moonlight Gate incident unleashed a flood of monsters across the world. Honestly, while one might hope for superheroes and villains to join forces against this common threat, it didn't happen. Most villains took advantage of the chaos and wreaked even more havoc.

And this Scream Maker was no different. In an already chaotic world, he had the brilliant idea to invent gas that, when inhaled, would cause people to scream until they died.

His first terrorist act was incredibly sensational, releasing this gas in a crowded area. Stardus didn't have any time to react.

Moreover, this specially crafted deadly gas could penetrate gas masks available on the market, making it a multifaceted problem. In fact, among the later villains in the original story, he might be considered weak, but the problem was that too many people died in his first attack.

In other words, getting rid of him in advance would be better for everyone.

"...Let's get ready. We'll have to eliminate him."
