216. Midnight.

216 New Mercenary Midnight!

You were a child full of a sense of justice. You want to help good people, you want to catch evil people, you want to be a policeman. You were number one in school both in study and exercise. The teacher told you how about being a judge, but you wanted to get the criminals in person. That way, you get admitted to the police school as the top student. One night while you are in police school, as you pass by a dark alley, you find a group of bullies extorting people and jump in fearlessly. At first, you were dominant, but you slowly began to fall behind a large group of bullies. After all, you are only allowed to hit effectively. In a crisis, I suddenly feel a familiar power even though it is my first time.

You unwittingly reached out and empowered a group of bullies. At that moment, a chain came out of your hand and bound them. The superpower that you didn't know was exercised. You disappeared from the scene after reporting a group of bound people. After solving the case, you started to do self-help activities every night, choosing only places like back alleys. Soon after, you appeared every night and overpowered the villain, nicknamed Midnight, and security improved noticeably. But when the tail is long, how to step on it, one day a man in a black suit comes to your house. They were the ones who found a psychic like you and recruited him as a secret agent. They told you that the government is hiding the existence of superpowers and that if a superpower is found, they are taking it into a secret agency.

And they encouraged me to be a secret agent of the government. You wanted to refuse because you didn't know it, but under the unspoken pressure from them, you finally decided to become a secret agent. Contrary to worrying that he might do all kinds of illegal things, the secret agent was more like a police officer than he thought. Except that the identity is a secret and that it uses superpowers. However, there were times when criminals cleverly harmed the law and could not be punished even if they caught it because they had to follow the law like police officers. You were angry when you let go of the criminal like this, but you endured it thinking that if you punish him on your own and lose your position as a secret agent, you would not be able to fight the criminals like this.

As I gained experience, the mission given to you slowly began to become crucial. It even came down to the task of wiping out a criminal gang notorious for drugs alone. Since taking on a huge mission, I thought you were good at not running out of the organization at first. Then one day, a huge mission came down to you that I've never had before. It was a mission to infiltrate a conflict area alone and assassinate a military leader. According to his superiors, he was a military leader in control of the disputed area and a very vicious figure. You are on a mission alone. In a difficult situation I have never experienced, I managed to assassinate, but I am in danger of being surrounded by enemies from all sides.

A situation in which the superpowers are no longer exercised by using too much superpowers, and all the ammunition brought is consumed. You have a hunch of death, but you decide to escape with the last pistol. It was for a simple yet strong reason that one who enforces justice should not give in to evil. And then, similar to the first time the force was exerted, but a more powerful force came out, and the fatigue disappeared. When you use new power, you can make not only chains, but sickles and double pistols. As you gain new power and become stronger, you break through the siege of enemies and succeed in escaping. In the back car. I can hear the radio at first glance.

" .. . News that the newly elected president was assassinated in an unknown attack.

" .. . The newly elected president will end years of civil war.

" .. . Many leaders around the world expressed their anger.

You wake up in surprise when you are dozing off because of tiredness.

Because you found out that the person you assassinated was not a vicious military leader, but a president who was expected to end the civil war. Upon arriving at the agency, you complained about the lie to your superiors. But the superior says, "We are the ones who take orders and do them." I've been working for years, and I don't know. Lying? I had no choice but to move you. I just said, " Falling into guilt and skepticism, you said you would quit the agent. The superior says he will allow him to quit if he carries out his last mission. You accepted the superior's suggestion.

The last mission was to infiltrate a dictatorship alone and explode a biological and chemical weapons factory. It was a more difficult mission than the previous one, but it wasn't difficult for you who became stronger. I infiltrated and installed explosives in the factory, and now I have to get out and press the switch. But suddenly, the factory started to be bombed. You realized that the final mission was a trap to kill yourself. The upper class thought that even if you try to hold you back, you won't follow orders anymore, but if you send it to society, it's a nuisance that can open your mouth to the existence of superpowers, the existence of secret institutions, illegal missions, and so on. So the superiors sent him to the biological and chemical weapons factory, where the bombing was already scheduled, and tried to get rid of it as a whole.

He realized that he had been deceived in the bombing, but it was already too late. That's how you face death. And you wake up in the dark. In the dark. I hear a voice. The being in the dark is said to be the one who gave you power and will give you a chance to implement justice. But if you accept it, you will lose something important in return. You, who wanted to punish the wicked, decide to accept this offer. When I wake up from the cold wind, it's the corner street floor of the city where you lived. But the images of people passing by and the city are somewhat unfamiliar. The time in the dark, which I thought was only a short time, was actually a long time.

You accepted the offer and thought it was time that was lost. So I looked into the difference between when I lived and now. The present era has been decades since you lived. Not only was the existence of superpowers already known to people, but various heroes were active. Also, you were like a person who disappeared from the record and did not exist. It was a great opportunity to be a hero who embodies the justice you've wanted since you were a child. Just like when you first gained superpowers, you started a self-study activity under the name Midnight. And when I found a character who seemed to be a villain, I killed everyone regardless of the severity of the sin. Your notoriety of killing all the villains quickly spread.

But you didn't realize. No, I couldn't realize it.

In exchange for accepting the offer of existence in the dark, he became justice that lost his conscience.
