The New Civil Servant Catches the Villain and Goes Home

Synopsis

The New Civil Servant Catches the Villain and Goes Home Chapter 6 has been released. Fists clenched on her desk, civil servant Jin-Hyeok Seo glared at her boss through narrowed eyes as he refused to grant her early release – again. Her hours long ago had been meticulously agreed upon; it was not unreasonable to expect their arrangement would be respected. But she'd grown tired of playing by the rules when nobody else seemed willing to play fair either. As his words dripped like honeyed poison down her spine, Jin-Hyeok's mind flashed back to the files filled with unsolved cases and vendettas left unresolved, all awaiting justice she could hardly provide within the confines of office politics and outdated protocols. Remembering her father, brutally murdered before she even found solace in law school, she hardened her resolve: wherever injustice reigned, there existed a direct path to resolving such grievances – murder. And whatever cutthroat bureaucrats she must pierce along the way wouldn't bother registering as collateral damage. “Too late,” she thought grimacing behind closed doors. Hands shaking as much as those crushing truths invoked utter disgust within herself, Jin-Hyeok lit two cigarettes then paused mid inhale when visions erupted once more from papers impregnated across every surface of her suffocating cubicle, paper towers engulfing any windowpane glimpses. Ferocious fascination rose out alongside an overpoweringly confident realization standing behind steel-cold sensations carving furrows between uneven facial muscle sections so sharp and show-stopping cold certainty felled beasts scarier than those VCs killing talent from within law firms which depicted despicable ugliness converted into loathing beaten dread seeded somewhere buried under flip-fast stammering laid unbroken in stew-shaken time readiness.
