The Returner

On the surface, a woman appeared in the air that was like a ripple.

The woman who had a short hair was still as shrewd as a girl, rather than a girl. His face is cute, but his expression is so blunt that he doesn't show any cuteness.

Togayun.

She just appeared in front of Lee Hyuk.

“How did you know? ”

Lee Hyuk shrugged.

“Buy me a Coke and I'll tell you. ”

“Irrational exchange. Not worth exchanging. ”

“Then don't. ”

“ ……. ”

After wanting to disappear, she shows up with a Coke can in her hand a few minutes later.

“Thank you.”

“Answer first. ”

“Well, that's naughty. ”

Lee Hyuk reached out his hand and grabbed the Coke can that was in his hand. Togayun also handed over the Coke to him.

That'll be $1,000. This can't be a threat.

“I'm not an idiot. Why haven't you noticed I've been following you since you left the house? ”

“I was hiding. Unnoticed. It is assumed that there are unknown technologies. ”

“Well, that's something you have to figure out. That's a lot of information for a thousand won Coke, isn't it? ”

Dogyoon clammed his mouth shut.

What is this, interest?

KSF recognizes his ability to hide. That's why they're usually tasked with Factor Surveillance rather than the Great Gate War.

And you've been monitoring her for less than 10 minutes and you don't even know she's there!

It was the first time since she began her surveillance mission.

‘Edit Assessment. Unable to determine. ’

When I first saw it, I thought it was just a bluff, but every time I saw it, a new look popped up.

My ego was broken.

I've watched a lot of talent over the years, but I've never revised the assessment this many times.

However, after monitoring Lee Hyuk, he had already revised a few assessments.

“Well, that's fine, lend me some money. ”

Dogayun's expression collapsed a little.

I didn't leave it here.I don't know what anyone who asks me for money is going to believe.

And I couldn't understand when he was asking me to lend him money.

“Nothing.”

“20,000 won! ”

“ ……. ”

Something was cheap and he was speechless. However, I thought it would be okay to borrow 20,000 won secretly.

It's a delicate negotiation.

“Nothing.”

“Ten thousand won! ”

He stared at Lee Hyuk with a blank face.

We're not negotiating an amount right now, are we?

Do you really have 20,000 won? He said he didn't want to give it back.

“Nothing.”

“Five thousand won! ”

Togayun now looked at Lee Hyuk with his eyes toward strange creatures.

The waves of the eyes are trembling with desperation.

I can throw 5,000 won into the Red Line barrel, but I can lend it to you...

No, but if I keep declining like this, how far will that amount go?

Shall we lower it to 500 won?

What am I thinking? ’

I showed my pride and dignity because I was caught watching, but I'm negotiating how much I'll lend you at some point.

‘I guess I have begged. Add entry.’

He added one more item to the evaluation and looked at Lee Ji-hyuk with cold eyes.

“Tell me how you found out. 20,000 won. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

He shakes his head as if it were not reasonable.

‘But 20,000 won was too much? ’

It was funny not to give the children three dollars for the holidays, or to gather information for 20,000 won.

I would never have thought of that normally, but my judgment is clouded when I'm with this Human.

Lee Hyuk blurted out whether he knew how it felt.

“Really?"

“ ……. ”

“No biting! ”

Should we stop?

Is it really right to make this deal with this human?

I felt like my dignity had collapsed as a human being.

“... give. ”

Lee Hyuk shouted in joy.

“Here, look. ”

His hand flashes overhead. Then you're thrown down hard.

Whew!

Lee Hyuk's hand breeze brushed her face and passed by.

“Did you feel that?”

“What?”

“The wind, the wind! ”

“I felt it. So? ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

“That's it. ”

“…… Huh? ”

“Now that I've explained it all, 20,000 won. ”

Blood stains stood on his forehead.

“I don't understand! I don't understand! ”

However, Lee Hyuk was still laughing a lot.

“I said I'd explain it clearly, and you said you'd give me 20,000 won if I did. So I explained, and you explained. But is there a part of what we said that I must make you understand? ”

“… nothing. ”

“What's wrong with logic? ”

His eyes trembled.

Conversation is about implicit consensus and implication!

If it's stretched out like this, I'm afraid of opening my mouth!

Lee Hyuk shrugged his shoulders after seeing his face.

“Well, he's got a lot of complaints, so I'll give you one more hint. Even if you hide your body, as your body moves, the air will shake with it. That's it.”

Air?

Are you telling me that her body felt the pulse of air generated by the movement?

He stared at Lee Hyuk with a blank eye.

That's a bat-level detection capability, not a bat-level sensing capability.

I thought you said it was a physical family. ’

According to the analysis to date and observations of Dogyoon, Lee Hyuk was under suspicion for two abilities: physical family and space travel. However, if it is what it says it is, we need to add the ability to detect it.

You mean you have several abilities.

Chuck.

Lee Hyuk's hand was extended forward.

“Give it to me.”

“ ……. ”

I made a promise, and Lee Hyuk kept it. So it's right for him to pay.

But what?

This feeling of deception.

On the holidays, I felt like I was being snatched away by a thin trick, "If you have it, I'll keep it, but I'll give it to you when you need it."

He put his hand in his wallet and took out the money with his expressionless face.

I don't like it, but I promise!

“Here.”

Lee Hyuk snatched all the money from Dogyeong.

“Thank you, thank you. There's still some warmth left in the world. ”

I'm flattered.

Don't you have to do that?

His glances are subtly narrowed.

Does it matter that we keep an eye on this human?

I know you're capable.

I also feel that there is something big about it that is unexpected.

But I wasn't sure that this constant surveillance would reveal anything to him.

He saw Yi Hyuk, who was having fun.

‘Strange man. ’

I'm sure he's capable of something.

It is a recognition that a normal human being would like to use his abilities.

However, in front of his eyes, some of these screws seemed to be loosened, and he seemed to have no such desire at all.

To him, he is a natural human being.

If not, no matter how much Lee Hyuk noticed, Dogayun would not have appeared first.

What do we do? ’

In fact, at this point, it is right to just declare a mission failure and return. From the moment the covert surveillance becomes impossible, her mission is unsustainable.

But…….

He realizes that there is a subtle sense of pride in himself.

At that moment, her thighs began to tingle.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Witch.

Check the name on the screen and sigh. Why would the phone call at this point?

He pressed the call button.

- What are you doing?

“On a mission. ”

- I'm gonna leave you to your assignments. Another gate was created nearby.

“Gate?”

Gate is not surprised by the fact.

It is surprising that another gate has been opened nearby.

- I don't know what's going on. All the superiors are in an emergency right now.

Gates are not meant to be focused in this area. No matter how often a gate is opened, it was rumored that at least a year after it was created would be safe.

However, in the last two months, the gate has only been opened in this area three times.

And then the gate opens again?

“What's your location?"

- I sent it to my phone.

“Received. Moving on without delay. And……. ”

- Yes?

He looked at Lee Hyuk who was smoking heavily.

“Requested to be accompanied by a surveillance target. ”

Are you with him right now?

“Yes.”

- Why, are you stuck? You?

I felt exhausted without even knowing it in my hand.

“Requested company. ”

- Hmm, why?

“Check the ability of the surveillance target. ”

- Okay, I approve. But you have to be careful. You know he's a civilian, right?

“Confirm authorization. Implemented.”

- Yeah, well, take care of it. I'll go first, Jung-hoon Choi.

“Roger.”

He opened his mouth to Lee Ji-hyuk.

“Gate created. Requested company.”

Lee Hyuk's eyes were frozen.

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“Me?”

“Fairy tale repetition. Useless. No efficiency. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled and leaned his back on the bench.

“Hey, you're mistaken. I'm a civilian. Why do I have to go there? You look busy. Why don't you go? ”

He said without changing his face.

“30,000 KRW for accompanying and staying on site. ”

“Who do you think is a beggar? ”

“50,000 won. ”

“No, it's not about the money. I'm a civilian. ”

“100,000 won. ”

“Off you go.”

Lee Hyuk suddenly woke up.

Seeing him like that, he began to wonder if he could use the word human garbage on his evaluation items.

“What's your location? ”

“This way.”

Lee Hyuk began to roll his hair as he followed the lead.

"This is a little weird. ’

He hasn't just been playing since he came into this world.

No, most of the time, in fact, I've been playing, but I've been collecting information about the gaps in the playing. As he knows, the gate doesn't open so often around one place.

‘I think it's because of me. ’

I may need more information to explain logically, but I feel that I am involved in this situation. Moreover, this sixth sense of Lee Yi Hyuk was generally the right one.

I'm not leaving for a few bucks. I needed more information.

If there is something wrong with Lee Ji-hyuk, we need to take action. Otherwise, the gates will stay open around the house and you won't even dream of living comfortably.

If the reason the gate is opened so often is because Lee Hyuk has moved dimensionally around here…….

“We have to move. ”

“Hmm?"

“No.”

Lee Hyuk shrugged.

It was Lee Hyuk who insisted on finding another good place to live, even though his house is cheap these days.

Originally, the case was a separate person who committed the crime and a separate person who solved it.
