Chapter 141: Common Sense Alteration Police Station (1)
Chapter 141: Common Sense Alteration Police Station (1)
“According to our investigation so far, clearing a Common Sense Alteration Zone isn't that difficult.”
A large group of A-Rank heroes, along with a rare few S-Ranks, gathered in one place to listen intently to the Association Chairman.
While the history of the Hero Association wasn't particularly long, it was rare for this many heroes to carry out a simultaneous operation on such a scale. It was a testament to the sheer magnitude of the 'Common Sense Alteration Zone' incident caused by the Hypnotist.
“It’s not difficult, but the problem is the sheer number of them. Do you all remember what we discussed last time? The villain's plan to construct Common Sense Alteration Zones using the 'power' left behind where Gates have vanished was, in fact, true.”
“That means…”
“The number of Gates that have appeared in this country over the years is significant. Of course, a zone didn't form at every single one of them, but after revisiting and investigating them all, we've confirmed that there are twenty such locations.”
Twenty. One might think that doesn't sound like many, but considering the perennial shortage of hero personnel, it was a staggering number.
Setting all that aside, there’s never been an operation where twenty heroes participated at once. It’s like something out of a movie.
The only silver lining was that clearing the zones wasn't supposed to be that hard. Though I hadn't heard the details yet, if the Association Chairman was personally vouching for it, it was reliable.
“According to the results, there is a kind of 'Core' inside the Common Sense Alteration Zone that runs on the remnants of 'power' left after a Gate disappears. All you have to do is enter the zone and destroy it. Nothing more, nothing less—just break it. However, the thing you must keep in mind is that these are Common Sense Alteration Zones…”
At that point, the Operator, who had led the scouting party to thoroughly investigate the zones, spoke up.
“Heroes with weak mental strength may fall prey to the Hypnotist’s tricks. That is why I have only gathered heroes here today who I’ve judged to have a certain level of immunity and resistance to mental attacks. If anyone here feels they lack the confidence, you are free to leave.”
Naturally, no one left. It wasn't just out of pride or a refusal to back down; every hero gathered there truly had confidence in themselves. It was proof of the Operator’s keen eye for talent.
“But, um… excuse me, what exactly is the content of this 'Common Sense Alteration'?”
“Pardon?”
“You just said 'Common Sense Alteration' without giving us the details. I thought we should know specifically how common sense is being altered.”
“Well, ahem…”
The question came from an A-Rank female hero with an innocent, naive face. A few of the men, who knew exactly how 'Common Sense Alteration' was typically used in certain lewd genres, cleared their throats and pointedly looked away.
“I’ll explain it to you separately. Come here for a second.”
“Huh? Big sister, why so suddenly… Oh, okay!”
Another female hero, who seemed to know the meaning, took her aside and whispered in her ear, settling the situation. However, a few questions remained.
“Are there civilians inside those Common Sense Alteration Zones?”
“We tried to evacuate as many as possible, but the majority are unable to leave the zones. As you might expect, the biggest obstacle in the process of entering and destroying the Core will be none other than the citizens themselves.”
“He’s right. The citizens affected by the alteration will be quite a hindrance. They’ll all be driven mad by lust. Male heroes will need to watch out for female citizens, and female heroes will need to be wary of the men.”
Everyone was keeping quiet about it, but they all knew the effects of a Common Sense Alteration Zone. Everyone, including the female hero who had just returned with a face full of forbidden knowledge after being pulled aside.
They’re going to try to do lewd things, right? Just like in an erotica doujinshi.
I thought back to the class at the Hero Academy that had been controlled by the Hypnotist. Whether they were teachers or students, they thought nothing of spreading their pussies for him, and no one found it strange no matter what kind of sexual harassment or assault he inflicted.
I suspected this Common Sense Alteration Zone would function similarly. Even if the Hypnotist, Han Yoo-seong, couldn't be in twenty places at once, he’d be remote-controlling them somehow. Whether they were old men or young boys, every male would come charging at me to fuck me.
“Ugh, how horrible…”
“You just have to subdue them without hurting them too much. Calm down.”
“I guess so…? It’s not like the citizens actually feel that way about us. It’s just the hypnosis of the Common Sense Alteration… they’re doing it without realizing it…”
The other female heroes seemed to have reached a similar conclusion, looking visibly disgusted and repulsed. The mere thought of the citizens they were supposed to protect charging at them as objects of lust seemed nightmarish to them.
Why?
Of course, I couldn't relate at all. I didn't hate it; I was someone who enjoyed it. Beyond just being an object of lust… the idea of being a hero who is used by powerless citizens as nothing more than a hole for sexual relief, a pussy onahole—that was exactly my taste.
I have to go!!
That was why I absolutely had to participate in this mission.
Since it was a Common Sense Alteration Zone, the citizens wouldn't remember a thing even if they did terrible things to me. Since it was a solo mission, I wouldn't have to worry about the eyes of other heroes. I’d even heard that because of the Core inside, the interior of a Common Sense Alteration Zone couldn't be observed from the outside by any means.
It’s the perfect spot for Defeat Play… ♡
It didn't even look like a mission site anymore; it looked like a custom-made sex palace just for me. I watched the Association Chairman walk around, privately informing each hero where they would be deployed, and waited for my turn.
“Hey, Operator.”
“Hmm?”
“I’m getting impatient waiting, so I have to ask—where am I going?”
“Where are you going?”
“You said there are twenty Common Sense Alteration Zones. Aren't you distributing… I mean, assigning one to each of the twenty people?”
The Operator tilted his head for a moment before asking back.
“Actually, I wanted to ask you the same thing. You weren't on the recruitment list I made, so why are you here?”
“…What?”
My face went pale. I wasn't on the recruitment list?
“You recruited everyone else and left me out? What kind of nerve do you have…”
“Well, it’s because you aren't exactly known for having a strong resistance to mental attacks. Just look at the recent Academy incident. Do you have any idea how much trouble I went through because you fell under hypnosis?”
“No, wait, that was, I mean…”
Was this what they called shooting yourself in the foot? My act of pretending to be hypnotized just to get through that moment had come back to haunt me. Because the Operator firmly believed I had been hypnotized that day, he hadn't even put me on the list of heroes to recruit.
That day, I definitely gave him a blowjob while pretending to be hypnotized…
I had put on such a perfect performance that the Operator had been completely fooled. It was a case of my own medicine tasting too bitter. I forced myself to speak, feeling a sense of grief so deep it felt like I was crying tears of blood.
“Th-that… that was because the Hypnotist used his powers directly. Do you know how much power he concentrated just to plunge me into hypnosis? These Common Sense Alteration Zones aren't being run by the Hypnotist in person; they’re remote, so the effect will be much weaker.”
“Is that true?”
“I’m telling you! Besides, this time he’s already controlling hundreds, maybe thousands of citizens trapped inside the zones, right? His power must be spread thin.”
Back then, he had focused all his strength on me, so I had no choice but to fall for it. But this time, since so many people were involved, his power would be dispersed, and the intensity of the hypnosis would be incomparably weaker.
As I passionately argued my point, the Operator nodded as if he found it somewhat plausible. However, he still didn't seem inclined to let me join the mission.
“You make a convincing argument. But unfortunately, I’ve already recruited exactly twenty heroes to match the number of zones, so there’s no spot for you.”
“Aaaah…”
“Why are you so disappointed? You recently took down Unicorn and Bicorn, and you even captured the Beast Tamer, a high-ranking member of the Villain Alliance, and extracted valuable information. You’ve worked hard; it’s time for you to take a break.”
“N-no! I still… right! I’m not an S-Rank yet! I want to rank up quickly!”
“Oh, I forgot to mention. The Chairman personally said that once this matter is settled and the Association stabilizes, an S-Rank promotion ceremony for Magical Girl Floss is being planned. You can really afford to rest easy this time.”
To think such an exciting opportunity had appeared, only for me to have to turn back with tears in my eyes. I didn't want to accept this reality. I watched with hollow eyes as the female heroes were assigned their respective Common Sense Alteration Zones.
“…I’m sorry. I—I really don't think I can do this.”
“Hmm? Wait, if you back out now…”
“I’m truly sorry… You can give me two, no, three missions next time. I’ll find a substitute for this one, so please let me sit this one out… I am sincerely sorry.”
Just then, the female hero who had looked faint-hearted from the start—the one who didn't even know what Common Sense Alteration was—quietly backed out. She had tried to steel herself, but it seemed she couldn't bear the thought of being humiliated by the citizens.
The Association Chairman broke into a cold sweat, staring at the back of the retreating hero in dismay. The Operator looked back and forth between the Chairman and me with a flustered expression.
In that moment, I carefully suppressed a bright smile and sidled up to the Chairman.
“Um, Mister… how about you let me handle that one?”
It was good for me because I found a place where I could enjoy Defeat Play without worrying about anyone watching, and it was good for the Chairman and the Operator because a hero had volunteered to fill the vacancy.
This was what they called a win-win. I felt like I had achieved a true epiphany.
*
Before I left to handle the Common Sense Alteration Zone, the Chairman and the Operator emphasized the dangers once more and gave me a brief briefing on how to minimize damage.
The citizens trapped in the zone hadn't become idiots or fools; their psychological boundaries had simply vanished, and their sexual desires had been massively amplified. This meant there was a high probability they would recognize the faces of heroes who frequently appeared on TV and in the media.
“Remember. Your priority is to find and destroy the Core while remaining as inconspicuous as possible to the opposite sex. To achieve this, it will be advantageous to disguise yourself so you don't look like a hero.”
While it varied by individual, hero costumes were generally flashy and unique. I, for one, wore a pink, cute magical girl dress the moment I transformed. Walking around in that would inevitably draw everyone's attention.
I guess I have no choice. I should at least pretend to wear a disguise for the sake of appearances.
Actually, that might be even hotter. I was the type to place a lot of importance on the excitement that came from an outfit. Since the zone I was assigned to was none other than a 'Police Station,' dressing up like a police officer would lead to some pretty interesting situations.
“Floss, are you sure you’ll be alright? Your magical girl dress is fixed when you transform, so what are you going to do…?”
“Don’t worry, Mister.”
Once the Operator and the other heroes had left, the Chairman dropped his formal tone and showed his concern for me. He hadn't been able to say it in front of the others, but he seemed worried about me suddenly volunteering for the mission.
“If this is about Defeat Play, I’d advise you to sit this one out. I know your tastes well, but this time it’s dangerous. With other villains, you can just pull out your real strength and beat them up if things go south, but you can’t solve it that way with innocent citizens who are just under hypnosis.”
“Oh, come on, I wouldn't do that.”
“If you kill someone or leave them in critical condition during the process, the victim’s family and the entire media will point their fingers at you. That’s why I don’t recommend it.”
“Of course. Do you really think I’d beat up innocent citizens? I have a plan.”
The Chairman asked with a worried look.
“A plan?”
“First, I’m going to disguise myself as a cop. Not in my magical girl form, but as the civilian Do Min-jeong. That way, I won't draw too much attention.”
“In your civilian form, certainly… but even if you disguise yourself as a cop, you won't be safe in a Common Sense Alteration Zone. Furthermore, the citizens trapped in the police station you’ve been assigned to… from the officers to the criminals in the holding cells, they’re all men.”
“Then disguising myself as a female cop would actually be a bad move.”
After a brief pause, I presented the brilliant idea I had come up with.
“……Cross-dressing as a man. That should work, right?”
A few days later, I changed into a police uniform and appeared before the Chairman.
“How is it? Does it suit me? Not too bad, right?”
“Min-jeong.”
The Chairman hesitated for a moment before letting out a sigh.
“We have to do something about your chest.”
“Oh, th-that…! I tried using bandages, but it just wouldn't work….”
“I know a hero with shrinking abilities. I’ll ask them to come over. It’ll be temporary, but it should help.”
The Chairman, who had been staring blankly at my chest without even trying to hide it, spoke again.
“By the way, claiming to be a man while sporting a pair of massive tits that only a tiny fraction of women are born with… don't you think you’re being a bit shameless?”
“……Hehe.”
“That wasn't a compliment, so don't look so happy.”
It was no use telling me not to be happy. After all, even a compliment can make a whale dance.
I soon turned red and gave a silly, beaming smile.
