I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With-Chapter 441: Lily of the Valley (16)

Chapter 441: Lily of the Valley (16)

“…Ugh.”

After being kidnapped for the first time, Han Seo-Eun lay down for a long time.

Then she finally opened her eyes.

“…?”

When she opened her eyes, she saw a pure white room.

At first, Seo-eun didn’t understand the situation.

‘That’s right, I was kidnapped…’

An alleyway on the way home from school.

There, she suddenly saw a man covering his mouth with a white towel.

And a voice that said, “HanEun Group…”

“…Ah!”

As her mind raced, she realized that she had been kidnapped and only then could she see before her.

She was in a pure white room, like a laboratory. One side of it was glass and beyond that, a lab with people in helmets walking around looking at papers and computers.

Subject I – 27… You will live here for the rest of your life.

-A place that somehow reminded her of home.

She was trapped again.

“Ugh…”

Seo-Eun was momentarily overcome with dizziness.

…She regained her senses and looked up.

Yes. She is not the same Han Seo-Eun who was once their puppet. She shouldn’t dwell on what happened seven years ago.

After regaining her senses, Han Seo-Eun immediately screamed out the window.

“What the hell are you guys doing? Let go of me right now!!!”

And to that shout.

In response, a cold, mechanical voice replied.

[Be quiet, you talkative rat who betrayed HanEun and fled.]

A researcher’s voice came from a speaker through the glass window, not even looking this way.

Han Seo-Eun gritted her teeth at the words.

Yes, this is what these bastards are like.

Cold, heartless, seeing people as numbers and data…human scum.

In her heart, she wanted to smash the glass window right now and take revenge, but there was no way to do that for now.

…The only thing I’m wearing is my school uniform. I don’t have a weapon because the school doesn’t allow weapons. Even if I had, they would have confiscated it.

Of course, I kept it in my backpack, just in case…I couldn’t see the bag.

As she gritted her teeth the researcher clicked his tongue, then opened his mouth to speak to Seo-eun once more.

[And, be prepared, Dr. Kim Sun-woo will be coming to talk to you soon.]

“…What?”

And some time after those words were spoken…a laser shot out of the room.

A blue hologram rose up and began to reflect the figure of someone.

Long black hair, round glasses, and a sharp-looking face.

His appearance had changed quite a bit, but he was still recognizable, even through the hologram.

“You…”

“Long time no see, runaway.”

The head of the HanEun Group’s research team.

The mastermind behind the plan to create the artificial superpowers that Han Seo-eun was a part of and now, the planner of all this, Han Seo-eun’s nemesis in life, Dr. Kim Sun-woo.

***

“Kim Sun-woo…”

“Yes. Han Seo-eun. It’s been a while.”

Dr. Kim Sun-woo spoke to Seo-Eun through the hologram in the same calm voice he had always used before, with no highs or lows.

“I see you’ve been enjoying school, even wearing your uniform.”

“Ha. Yeah. I’ve had a good life, thanks to smashing up someone’s lab.”

Han Seo-eun replied with a sneer.

Beyond the glass window, an angry voice erupted from the speaker.

[You bitch! How dare you talk to Dr. Kim!]

And with that….Before Han Seo-eun, the hologram of Kim Sun-woo turned and spoke to the researcher.

“It’s okay. I just hope there’s no other noise while I’m talking to this child.”

[…Yes, sir.]

Bring it on.

Just as Han Seo-eun was thinking that.

The doctor turned his head again and looked at Han Seo-Eun.

In a cold voice, he spoke.

“…Yes. Han Seo-Eun, did you enjoy the everyday games that you forgot who you were? The games where you pretended to be a normal human and defeated everyone else as a monster.”

“…What?”

At the absurdity of his words, which didn’t deserve an answer, Han Seo-Eun glared at him with her vivid eyes.

A monster…yes. I once thought of myself as a monster, too.

But that’s not for you to say. You’re the real monster.

“Ha. That’s what you’re going to say, you holographic figure who doesn’t have the balls to appear in person in front of me?”

“I was too busy to be there in person.”

“Hah. I’m sure that’s true, because soon this place will be overrun with people looking for me, and that’s not why you couldn’t come?”

At that, the doctor’s lips twitched up, as if he were full of energy.

“Someone coming for you… Ha. I’ve long since destroyed all of your tracking devices. Who do you think you learned the technology you know from?”

“……”

This was not good news.

“But yes… I’m willing to give you a chance. Child.”

“…Hey, you’re bothering me, who’s a child?”

Han Seo-eun’s words were ignored by Kim Sun-woo….then she looked at Kim Sun-woo.

Looking at that stern expression, not even a trace of guilt could be seen, as if he had expected to be reunited with her.

‘…..’

Han Seo-eun felt the endless killing intensity grow even stronger.

This was the man who had ruined her life, the killer of her friends and the enemy of Han Seo-eun’s life, the person she couldn’t forget until she died.

However, Kim Sun-woo made her a ridiculous offer.

“Come back.”

“…What?”

“Han Seo-eun, come back to where you belong. Join our plan again. You are still needed.”

And with those words Han Seo-Eun burst out laughing.

“Ha… Hahahaha. Hahahaha!”

It was a turbid laugh that even she didn’t expect and behind that hollow laugh Han Seo-Eun glared at Kim Sun-woo with her vivid eyes.

“You’re out of your mind, you want me to join you? You’re planning to invade Korea with your bullshit mass-production, but all I want to do is kill you.”

Each word was filled with hatred….but at those words, Kim Sun-woo only smiled bloodily.

“You’re misunderstanding something… Well, it doesn’t matter. You’ll know all about it anyway. We’re destined to be together.”

“Fuck…”

“And. Han Seo-Eun, do you think you have a choice?”

At those words, Han Seo-eun fell silent.

…As frustrating as it was, Kim Sun-woo was right. She was trapped in here and couldn’t see a way out.

‘I wonder what he’s doing right now. He’s probably worried and looking for me….I wonder if he can find me. I don’t know where I am right now.’

That’s when Han Seo-eun closed her mouth.

Kim Sun-woo was saying something to the staff next to her.

“Okay. Send Han Seo-eun to the headquarters. This will be my last instruction. Tomorrow morning…”

She was in total isolation, where all her actions were meaningless.

When Han Seo-eun’s helplessness took its toll.

“…!”

Suddenly, the entire building shook.

It began to shake with a huge impact, as if an earthquake had struck.

And then, one after another, a loud boom.

-Kaaaaaaaaaaaah!

“Muh… what’s going on.”

[Sorry Doc, we’re still trying to figure out what’s going on…]

Before the staff could finish their sentence, the roar was heard again.

The sound was getting louder and louder.

[…! Ji, Zone 1 is collapsing, Zone 2 is collapsing too!]

-Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[Zone 4 is also collapsing…!! Evacuate everyone… Kaaaaaaaaaahhhh…]

And then the building shakes even more, and finally.

The ceiling above them ripped off, as if swept away by a storm.

Night had finally come, and the sky, once pure white, was quickly engulfing the lab in darkness.

The dust settled around them, and the researchers hunched over.

-Thud. Thud.

Only one man walked this way, out of the darkness.

[Aaaahhhh…!]

Next a researcher is lifted lifelessly into the air.

As everyone held their breath a deep, chilling voice filled the room.

“Where did you put Han Seo-Eun?”

[Heh, heh, heh… there, there…]

-Boom.

The employee was tossed to the ground and Han Seo-Eun finally realized who that unfamiliar, yet somehow familiar voice was.

“Oppa….!”

He came to save her, how did he know?

That’s right.

Da-in, he’s arrived.

To rescue Seo-Eun, he smashed everything in his path with a strength he’s never shown before.

[Ha…Ha ha! I didn’t know he had that much power. I guess it’s the power of …]

The hologram of Kim Sun-woo, which had flickered but still hadn’t been extinguished, said that with an expression of having taken a blow.

…And yet, an entire branch here is being destroyed by an individual.

Even though all of his own men are falling, Kim Sun-woo didn’t blink an eye.

“You really are…”

Han Seo-eun frowned at the disgusted look on his face.

Kim Sun-woo turned his head back to her, and said with a quizzical expression.

[Well, nothing has changed, the preparations for the final chapter have not changed.]

[Han Seo-eun, you want to kill me, you want to stop me, then come to my headquarters, and I will tell you the whole truth there.]

[There, unfold the final chapter]

-Uh-uh-uh.

Before she could decipher the words, Kim Sun-woo’s holographic device exploded.

And at the end of it.

“Seo-eun…! Are you okay?”

“Oppa…!”

Da-in flew towards her and Seo-Eun, too, ran straight for him.

Han Seo-eun was rescued 7 hours after being kidnapped by the HanEun group.
