The Returner

“Listen slowly, slowly. ”

Choi Jung-hoon looked at Lee Hyuk with a sad face. It was so sad to see Lee Hyuk who spread his food like a snake and shoved it in his mouth.

‘From the looks of it, I think it's been years since I've had a proper meal. ’

The proper meal was snatched. He was one of the richest men in the world in the second half of Beraf's life. The problem is that it's pointless to eat Korean food.

Lee Hyuk literally inhaled kimchi stew. The first person that I ordered quickly ran out. I made enough for three more, and I sucked it up like a vacuum cleaner in my seat, and now I'm scratching the bottom of the pot.

Do you have any appetite skills? ’

I even thought that there might be a person in the world who has mastered the ability to eat well.

Tongue.

A clean empty pot makes a clear sound.

Lee Hyuk sucked the spoon with his face that he felt sorry for something, but Choi Jung-hoon didn't ask him if he would like to eat more. A person must have a conscience.

The door was opened and the employee came in with the printed A4 paper. Choi Jung-hoon took the documents and read them down.

“Lee Hyuk, you see this? ”

“Yes.”

“It says here your parents' address. We don't usually see this. Next time, please go to the police station. Okay? I'm just doing this to make sure the missing parts of the report don't bother you. ”

The process was a little cumbersome because Lee Hyuk had been dealt with cleanly, even though he just saved his Social Security number as a simple missing person. Cho Jung-hoon took all the personal information related to Lee Hyuk instead of processing the process for him.

In this age, monsters killed monsters two years after disappearing. It was because monsters that swallowed things up often appeared.

“Yes!”

Lee Hyuk became a child who listened well.

“If you look at the address, you know where it is. ”

Dory.

“Don't you know?”

Nod.

I feel more like a dog who understands words than a child who listens well.

“Then how do I do this.... ”

Choi Jung-hoon was troubled.

Even if you take a piece of paper with a rough address and send it away to find it yourself, it's no problem. They don't even have to do that little mission. It is the job of police officers to find the home of a lost child, or a fool who has read the road.

But this fool in front of me was not just a fool, but a competent fool. Moreover, his team leader was applying a very thorough needle.

If I accumulated bad feelings for no reason, I would be in trouble.

“Wait a minute.”

In the end, Choi Jung-hoon decided to pass on the decision. Instead, we went to the one who would make the decision, and the decision maker frowned without even listening.

“Sir.”

“Oh! Why again? Why?”

Choi Jung-hoon took a deep breath.

‘Listen to what you have to say and get annoyed. ’

“You mean Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Did you get the address? ”

“That's enough.”

“Then you can tell them and send them. ”

“I can't find him. ”

Seo Ah-young's eyes grow tired of looking at someone beyond the wall.

“Can we call the police and have them give us a ride? ”

“That's also a good way to do it, but I was wondering if I could do it. ”

“Phew.”

Seo Ah-young could see what Choi Jung-hoon meant. We can do something about it roughly, but it is easy to build as much friendship as possible in the process.

Especially Lee Hyuk is presumed to be a member of the spatial family. Space-based talent was particularly rare and particularly important.

There's nothing wrong with driving a police car, but I don't like it. But I don't have time to take you there myself. That's why Choi Jung-hoon came to see her.

“Give me a ride.”

“Me? ”

“You're responsible for bringing her here for the first time. ”

“Well, by the way, I have to go into a meeting right now. ”

“What is it?”

“I have to make a statement about this. Well, it's nothing serious. You're trespassing in a controlled area. You're trespassing. ”

Seo Ah Young smiled.

I came to ask him what he could decide on his own, and there was a reason.

“I'll take care of it. Go. I'd like you to buy me dinner when you come instead. ”

“How hard can that be? What do you need?”

“Steak lunchbox, lemon twist strawberries at the Slushy King, cheddar king cheese box, please. I'm sorry if I'm the only one eating that, so I'd like you to have a glass of Americano with your staff. ”

“The Devil.”

“Yes?”

“No, I'm not.”

Choi Jung-hoon left the room, thinking he would. It's cheaper than pickled fruit. Very cheap, too.

But something doesn't feel right.

‘I am also a high-end workforce. ’

Everywhere I go, high-end people who have gone through education and administrative notions to hear elite sounds are doing lunchboxes and coffee errands. This is a national waste.

But I don't know what to do. This is the kind of place. To put it bluntly, his team leader was mostly busy and useless, despite being a universal workforce. Well, that's what state agencies do.

In the end, Choi Jung-hoon left the room and went to Lee Hyuk.

“Lee Ji-hyuk, let's go. I'll take you there. ”

“Wow, what a nice car! ”

Lee Hyuk was surprised by Choi Jung-hoon's car. I heard you were a government official, and I thought I could ride this fine sedan.

“Do you have a lot of money at home? ”

Choi Jung-hoon shook his hands excitedly. Unfortunately, he was a natural earthenware, made in Geumcheon Mountain that crawled from the ground with only one ability.

“It pays a little. ”

“He's a government official.”

“It pays for my life. ”

“Wow, that's a good job. ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled bitterly.

The life support you receive against monsters is not higher than you think. His life allowance was high not because of the monster....

‘Cause of guys like you. ’

Choi Jeong-hoon, the incapable, was in charge of the competent. It was also often tied up with law and public power. Even if the last person who was emotionally enhanced gave him one honey night, he would still pay for his portrait that day.

Beep beep.

I burned Lee Hyuk in the jewelry and left the parking lot.

“But you walked to work the last time. ”

“I was on my way to the subway. ”

“Why did you take the subway if you have a car? ”

Choi Jung-hoon's shoulders slightly trembled.

“After three days of work, I was so distracted that I couldn't make it home. ”

“Ah……. ”

This car didn't just come out.

I bought it with a change of body, but I hope it's a good car.

Lee Hyuk hid his regrets. He won't like the look of compassion in front of his eyes.

I liked the ride because Choi Jung-hoon's blood and tears were young.

“You don't remember for five years? ”

“Yes, I don't remember at all. ”

“How long have you had this memory? Before Black Monday? ”

“What's Black Monday? I know about Black Friday. ”

“Oh, you don't remember Black Monday. ”

Black Monday.

It refers to the day when gates are opened all over the world at the same time.

At that time, gates were opened and monsters were pouring out from all over the world. Only 100 gates were opened, but the damage was immense.

Let us not forget that we began to call this day Black Monday, with the meaning and symbolism that the Great Beast War had begun.

“Simply put, the day the gate first opened. ”

“Gate?”

“I'm talking about where the monsters come from. ”

This is where the monsters come out...

Like a warp gate? So the monsters are coming out of the other dimension...

Lee Hyuk became a little serious.

As soon as I get here, I'll smack you with a shotgun and I'll smash you to death with something like Rambo's machine gun.

But if the gate they're talking about is a warp gate, no one knows what's coming out of it. For example, if a drake protrudes out, modern infantry firearms cannot handle it.

What happens when the plane hits? ’

Speed cannot be compared. Modern fighters ridicule Maha. However, there is no comparison in the ability to swing. Living creatures fall and rise in an instant. It was hard to believe that the fighters at speed could keep up with their ability to swing.

Though the battle will take place at a moderate pace, aiming for gunfire with airborne missiles and evading the drake…….

“Probably robbed.”

The problem is that airborne missiles cannot penetrate the Drake's scale with firepower. And it wasn't just a shooting. If it appeared downtown and flew between the buildings, the aircraft missiles would be sealed and there was no way to catch it.

I have to fly an surface-to-air missile, but I can't use the heavenly rank considering the damage it does to the surroundings and the mystery ranks will be ticklish.

What if a dragon jumps?

Destruction.

There is no answer unless you fire a nuke.

Honestly, I doubt the nuclear power can penetrate the dragon's physical defenses.

Plus, one chance.

If we don't kill them with the first strike, the next incoming missile will be evacuated by space travel.

Modern firepower clearly surpasses a dragon, but there is no answer unless you face it.

‘This is worse than I thought...' ’

Of course, the elite may not be holding out their hands, but the existence of the gate was a serious threat.

Just think of Beraf like this. The cut sapphire monster was the kind of monster I had never seen in Beraf, so I assumed there were no solid monsters, but I also didn't know. More monsters will appear than dragons.

But...

‘It's none of my business. ’

Lee Hyuk leaned on the chair comfortably.

I've done enough. You can be confident that no one has suffered more than you, even if you search the entire planet.

And now you want me to come to modern times and do that?

You gotta be kidding me.

That's what real people do. He went to the middle of the battlefield and returned after several decades of dogwork. It seemed like he was going to be at war with someone who was retiring and resting.

I'll forgive you if you don't get stabbed.

“Then you won't be able to adapt easily. ”

“I still don't know what it is. It's Gatey, and it's weird that monsters come out, and it's weird that people are taking them for granted. I feel like I'm falling alone. ”

It was not a big deal, but the content was pretty serious. Choi Jung-hoon narrowed his eyes.

Is it true?

I had a glimpse of how well I was guarding the lie that I lost my memory, but the reaction I was showing was the attitude of a complete stranger. This is how most people react when they see an army of monsters in the mountains, living without civilization in the hillside.

I was just confused, not over-excited, not overly calm.

‘I need to check more. ’

There is too little information about this human.

He is an ability, but he has no way of knowing which one is which, and no way of knowing where he has been for five long years. I've been looking everywhere, and I literally went missing. I couldn't find a trace anywhere.

According to my experience, this kind of man was either a man or a man.

You're either incredibly talented or you suck at being clean.

We need to confirm that so we can discuss concrete measures. If you're a great power, you have to do whatever it takes to get it in here, or if it doesn't, you can just hand it over to the department below to manage it.

‘But the way I see it is ambiguous. ’

You cannot attack your abilities to check them, and you cannot throw them into the right gate. As long as the measurements came out, the ability to take them and roll them face to face was not possible, so the standard manual could not be applied.

‘Is there anything we can do? ’

Beep, beep, beep!

At that moment, an alarm sounded on the phone. Choi Jung-hoon stepped on the brakes and pushed the car to the side of the road. Then I took out my phone and checked the contents.

‘Level 1. What's your location?'

Nearby!

I had a complicated feeling on Choi Jung-hoon's face.

It doesn't matter if you don't have to go. It's a jurisdiction, but level 1 has been passed over from KSF to the Pentagon.

However, it is also awkward to ignore the gate that opens in a short distance. A rat-tailed vocational call was being made at this time.

“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Yes?”

“The gate is open nearby, but I have to go to work. ”

“Oh, really? Then just... ”

“Would you like to come with me? ”

Lee Hyuk narrowed his eyes to Choi Jung-hoon.

“Nothing dangerous will happen. It's the lowest level. It'll be simple. I'll take you as soon as I'm done. ”

“How long will it take? ”

“It will take about three hours or so. ”

Three hours, three hours...

Lee Hyuk was troubled. It's okay to roughly get off and call an address and catch a taxi. I didn't want to have to go where the monsters were coming from and take on the annoying things that might happen.

But there is one catch.

‘I wonder.'

I wonder how that gate works and what monsters come out.

Now, if we live in this world, such knowledge may be essential. If you only invested three hours, it was not bad for investment efficiency.

“I will.”

“Then I'll be on my way. ”

Choi Jung-hoon hurriedly stepped on Excel as if he was afraid that Lee Hyuk's words would change.

At the same time, you open the window and raise your hand to attach something to the ceiling.

Yippee!

When the siren rings, the cars give way subtly.

“Oh.”

It feels like the blessing of government is spreading like an error. Lee Hyuk was amazed at the strange satisfaction.

“When you arrive on site, you must never follow my instructions. It can be dangerous. ”

“Yes, don't worry. ”

“For the sake of old age, please don't do anything. Beginner talents are often motivated and accident-prone. ”

“Oh, what are you talking about? I'm not capable. ”

“Yes. Yes, it is. ”

Choi Jung-hoon frowned a few times.

‘It's time to go. ’

When I get involved with this person, I feel like things keep getting twisted. At this point, we needed to establish a clear relationship.
