Limitless Dream

"Help me, I'm tied up by someone I don't know right now. Please help me."

I got a call late in the evening and was very nervous in the A Police Situation Room.

A short time ago, a victim was brutally murdered in the head of an on-call official. The situation was misunderstood and reacted in an awkward manner, resulting in only more damage.

Thanks to this, a considerable number of high-ranking police officers took off their clothes and had to be looked at coldly by the people.

“Just calm down. Is he nearby? Can you hear this phone? ”

I don't know, I can't see it right now.

“I'm tracking your location right now. But in order to improve accuracy, we need you to tell us about the big signs and buildings that you see around you. ”

I don't know anything because it's dark. I was dragged here half-drunk... * Sobbing *!

What are you doing!

A loud rumbling sound was heard beyond the handset, and the phone was switched off immediately.

The Situation Room sent an order to patrol the area near where it had been tracked.

Due to a malfunction in the location tracking system, the exact location of the crime could not be determined.

Not found yet.

I can't see it.

Patrolmen scoured the area diligently, but it was already five minutes without much income.

Thanks to this, the situation room was filled with tension that was draining blood.

Five minutes, in a way, is long enough for a short but exciting unsub to commit an irreversible crime.

Plus, the unsub found out that the victim reported it. In the meantime, no one can guarantee what terrible things may have happened.

It was then.

“Victim's phone! ”

I called the same number again.

In the unlikely event that the unsub could be provoked to make another phone call from this side, the mood in the call and situation room was extremely frozen.

Could it be that the victim slipped away in a safe situation, or did something happen that no one wanted?

Oh, I'm the one who was tied up earlier…….

“Yes, go ahead. What's the situation? Is it dangerous?"

"I don't know, I'm still tied up, and the guy who tied me suddenly fainted.

“You fainted? Suddenly?"

Yes, and I don't think it will happen for more than a few minutes. So I made a secret phone call. Please come quick.I 'm scared when I'll wake up.

“Very well. Do you see anything nearby?" ”

"On my right is a window, and there is a yellow sign light.

The Situation Room communicated its surrounding geography to the patrol team, and soon the patrol team was able to find it safely. Luckily, the killer didn't wake up until they opened the door.

The patrol team ties the perpetrator up completely and releases the victim, sighing of relief in the situation room.

“Good work, everyone. The chief will be pleased, too. ”

The on-call leader just opened his face and complimented the workers.

We almost had a terrible felony in the jurisdiction, but fortunately, we were able to find the perpetrator and rescue the victim safely.

“Above all, the impulse response was perfect. ”

“It's a little... … it's actually because the unsub fainted at a good time, and if he hadn't fainted, it wouldn't have been weird if anything had happened to the victim. ”

“With just five minutes of what? Well, what else can we do? Anyway, it's all good because it's good. ”

“ ……. ”

“Anyway, I talked to the chief, and he's going to have a big dinner soon, so let's hope so. ”

It was not great, but the results were very good either way.

Otherwise, the criticism was strong that the police's ability to respond to emergencies was uncovered. Recently, 112 Situation Room staff hesitated and were not responding well and were greatly enraged.

In that atmosphere, he rescued the victims safely and also killed the perpetrators, so the public opinion naturally began to float the A police station.

It's hard to tell if the unsub was stunned. It was packaged as resolving the incident with appropriate action by the site patrol team and agile response from the situation room staff.

At the time, the victim was returning home drunk, and the unsub stalked her for rape, and it turns out she was abducted from a secluded place and taken to her home.

After tying up the victim and returning home for a while, he finds her secretly reporting, and rushes into the victim with a baseball bat enraged. Then he suddenly fainted and fell.

“But he said there was nothing wrong with his body, so why did he suddenly pass out? ”

“Weren't there any terrestrial diseases? ”

“There's no such thing. ”

Such questions were briefly raised among the officials, but they quickly faded away.

After all, the victim was safe, the perpetrator was caught, and the police were complimented by the ministers and the people.

And it was a start.

"Suwon Murderer! The victim is lucky to be alive.

Robbery in xx-dong, Seoul, cease with the failure of the supervillain's attempts. Luckily, the victim was unharmed.

Accidental stabbing in a bar in Busan, ending with no one getting hurt by Cheonan. The perpetrator is presumed to have passed out due to excessive alcohol consumption.

Masscom has been dispatching a growing number of articles addressing recent violent crimes.

Commonly, one criminal attempt ends in failure. Whether it was a planned crime or an accidental one.

The majority didn't seem like much. The everyday lives of the people flowed peacefully.

Homicide detectives or cops running on the line did detect some subtle airflow.

“I don't see a lot of cases like this these days. ”

“The arrest of eight violent criminals lately, all of them were arrested at the scene, right? ”

A Homicide detective, who was undercover in a car to catch a wanted suspect, nodded at a colleague.

“I hear so? At least not one person has died or been injured in our jurisdiction. ”

“Is this the second week? I just wish it was a year now. ”

“Then it's a dream. Nobody gets hurt, nobody dies, the unsub gets caught. Ha, if a year were the same now, I'd feel so alive. ”

The colleague sighs and lights a cigarette and suddenly remembers the words.

“But didn't you say that all eight of the people you arrested in our precinct were unconscious? ”

“Oh, I think so. I heard the victims testified together. ”

“Isn't that a little strange for a coincidence? ”

“Well, you could pass out from the tension of committing the crime…… wait. ”

The detective lowers his voice and points his finger at the front.

A short distance away, a man in a black jumper steps into the entrance of an old villa.

“It's him, right? ”

“Yes, I'm sure. ”

“Let's go. Don't miss it. ”

The two detectives slowly stepped out of the car and pretended not to mind. The suspect was still unaware of their access and was pressing the code to the villa entrance.

As the distance approached within five meters, the suspect suddenly stopped.

Damn it!

Two detectives swiftly plunge into the suspect with their teeth sharpened.

The suspect turns away like lightning and avoids their attack. Then he pulls the knife out of his pocket, grabs it, and points it forward.

A foul look stares at the two detectives.

“Stay away from me! Die!”

“Jaebok Lee, you can't do this. This is a bigger sin. ”

“Get lost!"

The suspect swung at the two detectives with his eyes wide open. And I tried to swing my sword hard.

At that moment, the suspect lay flat on the floor helplessly. At the same time, the sword dropped from my hand was sputtering and rolling around.

One detective swiftly kicks the knife away, and the other detective slams the suspect in the back and lays down his body and presses down. He then handcuffed the suspect and tied his wrist behind his back.

“Jaebok Lee, you're under arrest for the murder of You have the right to remain silent, you have the right to an attorney... Huh? What?”

“What's the matter? What's going on?”

“You fainted. ”

“What?"

“I fainted. Look. ”

The detective, who checked the suspect's status on his colleague's statement, looked back at him because it was absurd. Even the handcuffed colleague shrugs as if he doesn't understand.

“Don't look at me like that. I'm embarrassed too.”

“No, does it make sense that the guy who was running like he was going to kill us just now suddenly fainted? ”

“Was he the one with the foot soldiers? ”

“Even if you have a condition, does it make sense that you're not a sleepyhead and you lose consciousness in that moment? ”

“How should I know? ”

“Well, that's good. We got him. Let's get him. ”

“Wait, I have to tell Miranda.... ”

“What's the point of doing that to a fainted man? You can't even hear me. ”

“But if we're going to keep this from happening in the future, we have to give notice. Lawyers can be a pain in the ass when they get sloppy. I need you to record me there. ”

“What are you doing? ”

The handcuffed detective even notices the stunned suspect's back, and the colleague shakes his head excitedly and records it on his phone.

* * *

The first thing I noticed was that something was strange was a statistical office.

Bak Siu, who works at the Statistical Bureau, is a 10-year veteran who primarily oversees criminal aggregation.

It wasn't long before he noticed something strange for the first time.

“This is the 23rd of last month's tally? Something's not right.”

The aggregate results were very strange. All violent crimes committed in the country were "attempted." To be more precise, the unsub did not achieve his goal at all.

Those who attempted murder, those who attempted robbery, rape, and even those who attempted assault did not achieve what they wanted. Whether planned or accidental.

“A ghost wails. ”

Luckily, there were not very few crimes on that day. Rather, the frequency of crime was slightly higher than the average.

But without one exception, all crimes have failed.

“I've been doing this for over a decade, but I've never done this before. ”

On the 23rd, after the aggregation that day, he only shook his head. Then I suddenly had an idea in my head.

“Wait, isn't this the day of the spectacular incident at the A Police Station? ”

The day that the unsub was lucky enough to pass out and the victims, the police, and the people all met the happy outcome. Of course, not many people know that the unsub fainted and ended well.

“Something's wrong……. ”

Bak Siu hurried to aggregate without leaving work.

And I found an unbelievable result.

“Four days from the 23rd...... not a single person has died from a violent crime. ”

Reviews of works

In order to fight the ancient underground, we needed to promote Seojin from human to modern terrestrial.

It was also because I wanted to write a very specific episode of Modern New Playground.

Expect a fateful final battle between the Ancient Underground and the Modern Ground God!
