Kill the Dragon

Lee Han arrived at the lake in the old dragon realm. He lowers his bag and prepares to dive. There were often artifacts at the bottom of the lake. Most of the things I couldn't use even if I retrieved them, but if I could get a small clue, I was satisfied.

“Phew.”

Lee Han took a deep breath and dived. I slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.

‘I don't see anything. ’

Lee Han walked slowly to the bottom of the lake. Often I saw fish I didn't know the name of.

Bloop.

Lee's waist is bent over the bottom of the lake.

Glug.

An air bubble flowed from Lee's mouth. Breathing slowly reached its limit. Lee decided to hang on a little longer.

‘Sleeping here like this... ’

Lee hurriedly shakes his head. Suicidal impulses have often occurred. This would not have happened if it had been the way it was.

While Lee Han was shaking his head, something touched the soles of his feet.

Metal?

I touched the floor with my palm. It was metallic. Lee opened his eyes wide. Light leaks from the mud cracks at the bottom of the lake.

Weeing.

You hear a machine beep. The identity of the metal on the floor is the door. Like an underground air shelter, there was a door to the sky. It was evidence that it was a facility built before the water flooded the lake.

Kuaaaa!

The door that biometrically recognized Lee's palm opened. The lake's water has been sucked inside. As the water duck appeared, so did I. Lee hunched over to prepare for the shock.

Chop, chop!

Lee Han fell with the currents. Not all the water in the lake came down. As soon as Lee passed, the door was closed.

“Cough, cough. ”

Lee Han spit on the water and raised his head. The moisture fell from my wet hair. He raises his dagger and watches his every move.

‘The passageway. The fire is bright. The power's coming on. ’

Lee thought with tears in his eyes. Future people seemed to have succeeded in developing a reflective driving force. The nest and many ruins worked long after.

The passageway was long enough. It is wide enough that three or four people pass by. Lee walked carefully through the wall.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

The sound of your feet echoes heavily.

‘Murals.’

There was a picture on the wall of the passageway. Pictures can be understood even if the language is not spoken.

‘A spaceship from Earth. ’

Lee slowly checked the mural. The history was briefly summarized. Over and over again, the ship continued its long voyage. After a long journey, they found a suitable planet and built a home for their lives.

‘The war that happened again. ’

The mural changed from human settlement to individual history. It was a matter of winning over and over again in a mural.

‘This is a family warehouse. The mural was about the ancestors and origins of the family. ’

Lee thought, looking at the last mural.

‘Quite a powerful family, I see. ’

After the mural, you see another door.

Cheers.

Lee Han took his palm to the door. I felt like I was electrocuted. Lee hurriedly took his hands behind his back. My fingertips are charred.

“Psychic Shield. ”

A psychic glare came out of Lee Han's pupil. Lee looked at the psychic energy surrounding the door. My psychic senses were tingling. Surrounding the entire door was a powerful psychic shield. It is written to prevent destruction by physical means.

‘If you took your hand so deeply, you would have blown your arm off. ’

Lee slowly read the flow of psychic energy. There was an ongoing stream of psychic energy somewhere.

“It's been a long time. ”

Lee Han prepared an AP wave. I had no use for it. The senses are strange. The psychic energy surges from your clutches. The preparation time was longer than before.

“Huff.”

Lee stretched out his arms to catch his breath.

Wh-whoa!

Lee Han emitted an AP pulse. The Psychic Shield has temporarily disappeared. Lee quickly grabbed and opened the door.

Whoo-hoo!

The released Psychic Shield has rebuilt at a rapid rate. Lee Han threw himself inside the door. I slid from my shoulders to the ground. Lee, who was slipping, stood up holding the ground with his fingertips.

As soon as I passed through the door, the space was clearly expanded.

“This... ”

Lee's eyes widened. There are treasures. They were collected by the owner of the warehouse. From shiny jewels to weird antiques. It was an antique here, but in Lee's eyes it was a crystal of cutting-edge technology.

“Psychoframe.”

Lee Han opened his lips. He looks at dozens of reinforced exoskeletons over here. Enhanced exoskeletons lined up like they were on display in a museum.

‘No, it may not be a psychoframe. I would've used a wearable reinforced exoskeleton if I wasn't a sicker. ’

Reinforced exoskeletons vary in size and design. Lee Han passed by. Firearms and white war weapons. Lee did not touch things as much as possible. He kept walking out. The loot grew weirder and weirder. They were stuffed or soaked in drugs and stored. Some creatures are familiar minions. The back of the warehouse felt like a mad scientist's lab.

Of all the loot, there was one capsule that caught his eye.

The surface was rough as if it had been repaired and repaired a lot. The materials and colors of the parts were different from one part to another. It was a sign that had been covered for many years. The connected tubing and cables were connected through the reactor to ensure that the specifications were not met. It seemed to be the oldest of the loot.

"I know you."

Lee Han approached the capsule. The window with a faint view inside the capsule was frozen. A frozen capsule.

It is an artifact older than immigrant history. Origin reaches Earth Age. There was one person inside the freeze capsule.

Bang, bang.

My heart was racing. A person's face is visible through the blurred cold.

Lee Han's eyes brightened clearly. Pupils are dilated.

Lee looked behind the frozen capsule. He drops the dagger he was holding. Behind the capsule was a thawing procedure in English.

“Ah, ah. ”

Lee couldn't connect the words. It didn't matter who was in the frozen capsule. I liked anyone.

‘I want to tell you about what happened to me. ’

I pushed the frozen capsule with difficulty. The impact plate was carefully removed.

‘Primary external detachment. ’

Yihan mutters. The metal plates on the outside fall apart one by one. Only a white glass tube remains. The glass tube surface was cold enough to catch frostbite. Lee Han wore gloves and operated the equipment.

Shhh.

After disconnecting the tube, the cold air comes out backwards. The blurry interior became clearer. Lee Han raised his head.

I was very tall for a girl. His body type seemed to be dry, but his muscles were instead of fat, making him feel the heavy mass of his eyes. Female distinctive bends were inconspicuous, but extremely compressed razor-like.

The cold air comes out of my face through my upper half. Lee looked at the top of the capsule.

‘Wound.’

There was a scar between her brown hair.

‘Gunshot wound.’

There was a distinct gunshot wound to the right forehead. The hair looked noticeable because it was wet.

Lee's eyes shook as if bursting. His old colleague and friend suffers from aphasia from being shot in the head. The one who always wears a helmet and mask, the best squad member who always produces results without losing faith. Who Lee Han trusts completely. A perfect soldier who is independent, stronger with his teammates, and hard to spot as a flaw.

“Why…. ”

The complex emotions were mixed in Lee Han's eyes.

Lee is not an idiot. Rather too smart. A mask that is dry and worn all the time for foreign behavior and reinforcements. I was unsure, but not doubtful. It was only that his identity was not important at all, so he remained silent and ignored in the end that he was precious.

It was neither surprising nor important that she was a woman. The bond between the squad and the reinforcements is stronger than the emotions of men and women. Even your own lives must be left to one another to complete the team.

The only reason why he was surprised was the fact that Silence had appeared in a very long future. He wanted Silence to be happy in the past. I thought psychic exposure could be fixed by Earth's technology. Unfortunately, the study of Psychic Exposure Therapy was always a priority. This was the last of the AP wave holders to suppress psychokinesis. His feature was the area that no other sicker could imitate. It was the same as Kuro's.

Thawing will begin shortly. We have to do it now to stop. Lee Han's finger flickered.

“I'm sorry, Silence. ”

Lee couldn't take it anymore. He needed a man. I thought it was okay to be hated. But I know Silence won't hate himself.

‘That's what he is. ’

Reheating began with the administration of the regenerative drug. Lee sits in front of him, waiting for Silence to wake up. It takes about 30 hours. Lee didn't move a step. I forgot my hunger.

The probability of causality is unlikely. Silence's frozen capsule was not broken, and no one woke Silence. How likely are they to be preserved intact and survive tens of thousands of years? Lee faced Silence in a net of tangled causality, like a thread.

Lee's eyes were twenty closed. Shallow sleep brings dreams. Lee alternated dreams and nightmares of the past. His back is wet with cold sweat, as if it were a representation of his anxious psychosis.

Kirik.

It's been a long time. Lee opened his eyes to the external shock. His eyelids are heavy. Someone taps him on the shoulder. When Lee woke up, he took off his coat and handed it to him.

Silence was confused. Beyond logic and comprehension, he was confused in reality. But one thing was certain. Lee Han was right in front of me. I wanted to ask, and I had a lot to say, but just checking in with each other right now was enough.

He narrows his eyes and laughs silently. I used Lee's palm as a notepad. I raised my finger and wrote down one letter at a time.

- Hey.

Lee Han dropped his head.

- Did you do your best? That's enough. Whatever the outcome.

I wrote down in a cheerful tone. But Silence's fingertips are also slightly trembling. Silence trembles with fear. The mask that was protecting you disappeared. I knew what had happened, what had happened in the world, and why Lee was facing himself alone, but I knew that it was not a good situation.

‘But you look more dangerous than I do. ’

I looked at her like she was going to cry right away. I didn't want to insist on that.

‘It's okay, Hahn. ’

Silence claps his head in her arms. He saw many strange creatures and machines beyond his shoulders. My eyes tremble and shake. I guessed that there wouldn't be a world left that they wanted to protect. Lee found himself in such a world.

The world is cruel and deceiving people. It's just a word. Lee struggled and struggled in a universe where causes and consequences were intertwined like machines. His wish was small, but the price was not small. Most people throw everything away and don't get what they want. Die without fulfilling desire.

But if the universe is not a cold machine, if all beings are not slaves to the cause, if they recognize the intangible energy of mind and will, if they understand emotions that are merely electrical signals... Sometimes they overlap infinite coincidences and make a necessity. Those who returned to dust would call such forms gods and would call them miracles.

How much time has passed.

Lee barely opened his dry lips.

“… Hello. ”

Long time no see.
