The Returner

“I don't really have anything to say. ”

Choi Jung-hoon, who received Seo Ah-young's signal, lit up his eyes.

“I didn't ask for much, but I think it's time you stopped talking." ”

“Why?”

“Our bond is that much of a secret now, isn't it? ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

“Not really?”

“Ugh…. ”

Usually, if you throw a shotgun like this, it's because you're embarrassed, but that person...

Choi Jeong-hoon was shocked by the blow, but he didn't back down.

If it was about Lee Hyuk, it was also information about when to go to the bathroom.

Power to get information!

Choi Jung-hoon was a man who never gave up.

“And it's not that big a secret! ”

“Why do you decide that? ”

“In fact, there's nothing big about Lee Hyuk's personality. ”

Oh, yeah?

What, that guy? You know me better than I do.

What does it feel like?

Lee Hyuk stepped back, feeling something creepy.

“Anyway, it's not that important.... ”

“It's not important. Just tell me. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Lee Hyuk sighed.

After all, I didn't say anything, so I didn't want to say anything, but I didn't want to hide what happened in Beraf.

“If you'll excuse me. ”

Oh, yeah?

Why are you leaving?

“I'll leave you to your security. ”

“Huh?"

Is this really so important?

I just thought it was gonna be so easy.

This is on me!

In doing so, Lee Hyuk suddenly distorted his face when he looked around the rest of the meeting room.

“No…… ”

Let's say that Choi Jung-hoon and Seo Ah-young.

Well, I can go a little further and admit it to you.

Yeah, it is.

“Why are you here? ”

However, it was unacceptable to accept that people had settled into the category of 'important people.’

What an important person!

It's just a shuttle!

“Why! Why! I ate here, too. It's a high order.”

“You should have had some real food instead of that meal. Unfortunately... ”

“You, mister! ”

Lee Hyuk pushed Jung Jeong-min's forehead forward and said.

“What's so great about it? ”

“It doesn't matter so far. ”

“But?”

“He's the problem. Appeldrich?”

“What about him? ”

Choi Jung-hoon quietly said more about Lee Hyuk.

“You don't belong here, do you? ”

“Well……. ”

“I felt a subtle misstep. I definitely look human, but I don't feel human here. No, Him. Are you even human? ”

It's sharp.

Lee Hyuk smiled lightly, looking at Choi Jung-hoon.

He can't be ignored. What if he had some kind of ability?

Can I teach you some magic? ’

If there is any way to save Mana, I feel compelled to teach her. I think you're gonna be great.

“So?”

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk slightly turned around and Choi Jung-hoon again turned around.

“So far, I don't care where Lee Hyuk is or what he did. But that Appledrice has something to do with Lee Hyuk's free time, right? ”

“That's right.”

Lee Hyuk simply admitted.

I didn't want to come back and say anything, and I didn't want to hide it.

He didn't do anything wrong.

“Then the existence of the world that Lee Hyuk went to on this Earth began to pass over, but we need to have minimal information about the world to cope with it. ”

“Did I tell you I went to this world? ”

“Given the existence that came from this world and the ability to open Lee Hyuk's gate, it can be easily deduced. ”

“Have you ever heard of smart people dying early? ”

“... I'll pretend I didn't hear that. ”

“No? You have to hear this. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled and opened his mouth.

“Well, it's nothing to hide. Yeah, I've been in this world. ”

“I knew it!"

Choi Jung-hoon nodded.

“Is there a time difference between here and here? ”

“The axis of time… it's not the same as that expression, but it's a different time stream. ”

“Just like where our men went last time. ”

Then Lee Hyuk has been around for much longer than five years.

But you seem a little younger for that.

Choi Jung-hoon looked up and down at Lee Hyuk.

He looks very young in his tridents and blue training clothes, which have become almost like a trademark.

No, other than that, his face looked a lot darker than his age.

When I first saw him, I mistook him for a student.

He must have spent more time, but his face looks younger.

This is a one-way street for fiction. What, is that it?

Are you actually almost 100 years old?

“Well, but……. ”

“Yes?”

“How long have you been there? ”

“Well……. ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

This was a little difficult.

“Approximately……. ”

“Yes.”

“How many times does a country fall apart, open up again and again? ”

“ ……. ”

It's very hard to understand.

So the country is ruined many times....

In times like the national era, it was possible in a few years, so it was ambiguous.

“Clearer? ”

“Well……. ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head and replied.

“How many times does a strong mountain change? ”

Let's see, in a hundred years....

Choi Jung-hoon woke up from his seat.

“Huh?"

Suddenly, I leaned down and greeted Lee Hyuk.

“Excuse me.”

“No, what! Come on!”

“You're old. ”

“Never mind! I'm not! Inspire someone! ”

I'm also sad to be old...

Lee Hyuk's eyes became moist.

You're a teenager at heart! Mind you!

It's unfair to be dragged into this world and suffer for more than a thousand years, and to be inspired by an age you haven't eaten!

“But……. ”

“Get some ID! Identity!”

In front of Lee Hyuk's violent rebellion, Choi Jung-hoon tasted it.

“Yeah. Twenties, for starters. ”

“Yes. Please... ”

Lee Hyuk gripped his heart. It seems to be the most devastating blow since returning to Earth.

“... What are you talking about? ”

Jung-min's head tilted, not understanding.

Lee Hyuk smiled as he saw such a resolute person.

Such a pure woman's brain.

“Yes? Why? ”

“No.”

There's nothing to talk about. Innocence alone is precious.

“So that's how long you've been in this world? ”

“Yes.”

“… Hmm. ”

Choi Jung-hoon lost his words.

I sometimes felt like I was old enough to go through prenatal labor at my age, but even if I did, I still felt like I was a thousand years old.

No, not exactly a thousand years.

If man lives like that, does he become a wolf?

Something revealed the secrets of that punctured brain...

‘A thousand years in another world……. ’

Thinking about how terrible it was, I couldn't say anything.

People are nostalgic when they ride, but they become patriotic when they travel abroad.

But in the first place, it was a different world.

How much pain does it take to live there for a thousand years?

I felt like my head was melting.

“So it is.”

“Yes?”

There was a time when I felt really scared of Lee Hyuk.

Not because he has the power to destroy the world, but because there seems to be something horrible in that head that ordinary people can't even imagine.

But it wasn't just a feeling.

The more you experience it, the more you know it.

How frightening and terrifying human beings are.

If you've been through it for a thousand years, how much malice have you experienced?

“Mmmm... ”

Lee Hyuk felt strange when he lost his words.

What do you want me to say?

I've had a great Christmas with my family and I've certified it, and it feels like everyone's crying about it!

What? My eyes keep getting wet.

“When did you leave? As in Black Monday? ”

“Yeah, well, I guess I was. I don't know about the Black Mercy, but I was dragged back and forth, and they said the gate was open that day. ”

Choi Jung-hoon narrowed his eyes.

So the open gate was not a one-way street, it was a two-way street?

“Is there any chance that someone else was taken, not Lee Hyuk? ”

“I don't know. But... well, wouldn't there be? ”

“Hmm……. ”

There was no reason for that to happen especially to Lee Hyuk, so anyone who experienced similar cases could be there for as long as possible.

However, if any of them can come back....

‘Probably not.’

Even Yi Hyuk found it in over a thousand years against God.

Can someone else do something like that?

Lee Hyuk knows.

It was certainly not the case that his soul was fixed as he went over to the other side. It's just coincidence and coincidence.

If all spirits are fixed, the monsters who come here must also be immortal.

So Lee Hyuk was a very special case.

Otherwise, they would have become monster food as soon as they moved on.

What are the chances of surviving for more than three years, even if people are very fortunate to go where they live?

“Hard.”

“Yes?”

“No, it's not.”

Jung Jeong-min who heard it next to me tilted her head.

“So you've been to a different world than here? ”

“Yes.”

“… why didn't you tell me that? ”

“Do I have to say it? ”

“No, that's not it... I wish you would have told me. ”

“Why?”

Jung-min didn't seem to be able to connect the words as if he was sorry for something.

Lee Hyuk smiled at Jung-min.

“This is what I'm doing because I have the strength, not me, but someone else has been in this world! They're probably being dragged to some government shithole right now and dissected. ”

“No?”

“Huh?"

Jung Jeong-min looked at Lee Hyuk like he was pathetic, turned on the internet, and clicked on the interview video on Main.

Inside the video, a man was interviewing, surrounded by millions of microphones.

[Is it true that you have returned from this world?]

[Yes, of course it's true.]

How long have you been there?]

[It's been about 20 years.]

[It's only been five years here.]

[There was a time difference.]

Lee Hyuk stared at the screen dazed and said.

“... What is this? ”

“He was the one who talked about coming back from this world a few days ago. There are interviews and requests for filming, and every single one of them is running. I'm getting the top celebrity spotlight. ”

Lee Hyuk's hands trembled.

“... You're not dissected? ”

“What a world it is today. ”

“Huh?”

Jung Jeong-min looked at Lee Hyuk and said,

“And if it's Korea, isn't it organized by KSF? ”

“Huh?”

“Do you think they'll do that? ”

“ ……. ”

Fluffy.

Lee Hyuk sat down.

“Then what have I been……. ”

My heart is sweating.

Mind sweat.

Choi Jung-hoon sighed as he looked at Lee Hyuk shrouding his shoulders.

A fool whether he lived a thousand years or not.

“Who?”

The voice was very high.

A very alluring and sticky voice resounded high in a dark and dark space.

For a voice that seemed to appeal to anyone, the voices of those who heard the voices lowered their heads, trembling as if they were a tree.

“Ah, the ninety-ninth Demon King, they found him. ”

“Who?”

Gooooo.

When she wakes up, the whole world starts to vibrate.

Two long horns overhead, two wings raised from the shoulders, and black hair that seems to be drawn in black.

A black leotard that sticks close to the curved body.

In contrast to that, the skin looks like it's going to freeze as a bird.

And the only thing that stands out in all that white and black, red lips like blood.

Her lips flare slightly and the seductive tongue pops out and licks her lips.

“Demon King!”

“There you are, Lee Hyuk! ”

The thirteenth Demon King.

Her black eyes sink deeper and deeper.
