Push the button right now!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out of my way! If you don’t press it, I will!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you all crazy? They haven’t pressed it yet either. What’s the matter with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we’re a little late, we’ll all die! You have to press it in advance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two bombs\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two buttons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship that pressed the button can live ‘unconditionally’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the moment you do not press the button, you ‘may die’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, if you think about it rationally and realistically, there is no reason to press it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there is a button in front of you, no one will press it unless there is a lunatic who wants to press everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation is not like “Well, there are only prisoners on the other ship so those crazy bastards will press it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But also not “Both ships will explode if you don’t press the bomb!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if you think about it rationally, it is a win if you stay still. There is no need to press it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then! If you think about it rationally, there is no reason to press it, or can’t you just stop them from thinking rationally?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So my agitators quickly started incitement and fabrication!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m telling you they’re going to press it! I know everything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right! We have to press it first to survive! Do you have any guarantee that they won’t press it? In this world, you either kill or be killed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is why I put the agitators equally on two ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before people can think rationally, they will spread the rumors that if they do not press the button first, they will die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, people with a weak mentality will instantly feel anxious and scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rational judgment will be blurred and eventually transformed into collective madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s press it first before they do!”…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, however, it is now likely to lead to a fight between sense and sensibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sensibility, which is terrified by the incitement, would tell them to press that button immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as time goes by, it will be the ‘sense’ that comes to their mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they will slowly realize over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The other ship still hasn’t pressed the button either!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s scream shook the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People started to realize as time went by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other side has not pressed the button to blow their ship yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you think about it, there is no reason for them to press the button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stage I set up is perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, I contacted the people to get them on the ships and then cut off the Internet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wifi? LTE? Nothing will be working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who were looking at their phones would think that their phones were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the same time, I broadcast it live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this is the show that I already filmed beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are bombs on your ships now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they explode, you are all going to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there are detonators on the ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the detonator on your ship is not yours but the detonator of the bomb on the other ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you press it, those people on the other side are going to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But oh, my! Your detonator is on the other ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you do not press the button, who knows? The ship next to you might press it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether to press the button or not. Do as you please.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The limit time is 30 minutes. Good luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the chaos began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captains were in torment with the detonators in the captain’s cabins and the passengers bawled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes. This is the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene that I wanted to direct so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the other movie which I watched before I fell into this world, the best scene of the movie was the fight between Batman and Joker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing between two ships at midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was between the prisoners’ ship and the cruise ship, and the background was at night in the movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the circumstances of a grown-up, I could not implement it accurately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, there is no such thing as a prisoners’ ship in Seoul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this comic is about heroes with superpowers, a prisoners’ ship basically does not exist in Seoul, South Korea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought that the dramatic tension might have gone down a little bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, there is another way to do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew, it was so hard to prepare for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike then, people use smartphones in this world nowadays, so I have to block all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are so many other low-level heroes in this small country, I have to keep them from interfering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The life of a villain is not easy either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway… Let’s see, are they still fighting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, the first ship is still fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew it. Just as I planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the second one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you think we should press the button, raise your hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh… People are closing their eyes and putting their hands up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain is counting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is this? It’s not even a class president election in elementary school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God. I feel a little dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this is what I intended, it is still a little absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking my eyes off the beam projector, I looked at Stardus who was standing far away from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still focused on the screen with her stiff face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seriously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s so pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stardus, the main character of the comic [Stardust!].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main character in one of a few hero comics drawn by Korean authors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the first commercially successful Korean hero comic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stardus. Her real name is Shin Haru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glossy blond hair that shines like starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red latex suit hugs her whole body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And an insanely pretty visual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow, seriously…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe because I finally met my favorite character in real life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her in person like this makes me feel like I can die happily now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is not the time to die yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yikes, did I stare too much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began to glare at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Do you think you’re going to get away after all of this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice is also pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahem, time for me to bury those thoughts down, and concentrate on my job again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jeez, your words made me sad. Honestly, did I tell people to press the button and die? What did I do exactly? I only threw them the detonators, and they’re making a fuss to press it on their own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, I grinned at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, since I manipulated the situation by putting people in there, I feel guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it doesn’t matter, as long as they are not caught! That’s right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stardus still has that annoyed expression on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I continued talking to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, I’m personally very interested in you, Miss Stardus. From what I see, you’re such an exemplary hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of sudden, she looked back at me as if she was not sure what I was talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I say something else to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In an interview from the past, you said all humans have the courage to sacrifice themselves in their hearts. That’s a great saying. I had to stand up and clap as soon as I heard your words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, let’s laugh one more time here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second, two seconds, smile, and then speak up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap, flicked my finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I flicked my finger, the pre-installed lights behind began to shine on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she frowned at the sudden light, I continued the talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this time, I will give you one chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you change those selfish people, Stardus?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as I said that, the camera turned on again. The show might have switched to this place again, not the situation of the cruise ships anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will be broadcast to everyone, including people across the country and passengers on the ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, 20 minutes… have passed. 10 minutes to go! Our hero Stardus has something to say! Please listen! Attention, passengers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as I finished, the camera started to turn towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stardus looked a little taken aback by the sudden situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, as expected from a professional hero. She quickly figured out what was going on and began to look straight at the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, everyone. This is the A-class hero, Stardus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then all of sudden, she began to make a speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, what do you think of the person next to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in such a sudden situation, she talked naturally without shaking her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So briefly, what she said was that the person next to them was also a loving family to someone. That you should trust other people. Blessed are those who believe. She told them not to worry. Well, something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A three or four-minute short speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After her speech, which was so appealing to the end, I turned off the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And looking at the situation in the room…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people stood up and clapped their hands in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captains shouted hooray and threw the detonators into the sea without hesitation. Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were suddenly all singing and praising humanity together, and then 30 minutes had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surviving passengers cried in joy and congratulated each other. Erm… That is what I intended but somehow it was a little too dramatic. It was like an 80’s movie about patriotism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Stardus seems relieved that everyone survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will be uploaded on Youtube tomorrow. [Japan was surprised, Europe was shocked and the U.S. envied K-Hero!. The passengers were united in tears by her words!]. Just like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All right, it’s time to start acting again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I naturally turned the camera to us…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay, go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a shocked look, I looked at the wall where the video was reflected and twisted my body slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-What? This cannot be happening. Those selfish human beings…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I murmured as if I were very bewildered. With a little louder voice, so that the camera can catch it well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no way this cannot happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the passengers and the captains are the ones I hired. Haha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if they press the detonator even though I already put the agitators in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, a show should be thoroughly planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It mostly happens differently from what the producer intended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But always be prepared for variables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid that, obviously I have to control the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captains, passengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The script I made up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I have to act well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought to myself, pretending to look at Stardus with a panicked look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stardus, Stardus. Shin Haru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman who was always under pressure and harmed in the original comic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will make sure you only walk along a pleasant path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manipulation and directing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lies and deceit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever I can do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s continue with the acting again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This can’t be happening… What the hell is going on here?!!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1852,"2026-06-03T14:38:02.149Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e4fd2ad9a42e8ee908b4854909fff6ee10927981fc256388789ca683fa855b1","i-became-the-villain-the-hero-is-obsessed-with-chapter-5","i-became-the-villain-the-hero-is-obsessed-with-chapter-3",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-the-villain-the-hero-is-obsessed-with-cover.jpg"]
