The Returner 7 volumes (RMB 22)
5. What, you... have no soul? (2)
“The Demon King has been defeated. ”
Argoras shudders, curled up in a corner.
“There's nothing to talk about. I thought you said this world would be destroyed if only one Demon King was summoned. ”
“Hehe.”
Argoras glances at the Alpha, revealing his teeth.
However, Alpha only looks at him with a blank expression.
“Yes, I admit it. It was unexpected. I can't believe he's moving. ”
Though he thought he could work for the nineteenth Demon King, it would be accurate to say that he did not think he would have an impact on the world.
“I can't believe you used the kite gate here. ”
It was unthinkable.
In that situation, I had no idea that the Beltretches would try to connect the gates, but who could have predicted that the thirteenth Demon Lord would pop out of them?
“So what's the next plan? No, do you even have a plan? ”
“... Of course. ”
Argoras nods.
It is very strange to ask if you have a plan. Now the world is full of negative energy many times more than before they do. There's nothing I wouldn't do if I used this energy.What's the problem?
“This is just the beginning. I'm sure he was beaten, but there's no difference that he was beaten by a lowly Demon King. ”
Besides, I didn't actually get beaten by Lee Hyuk.
“First of all, let's make more use of what we have. ”
Alphas' eyes sank deeply to look at Argoras, who was lost in thought alone.
‘It was definitely shocking. ’
Even though Beltretch was down at the end, I could feel how powerful and dangerous the Demon King was.
And…….
Although not alone, it was shocking that Lee Hyuk drove the Demon King to the brink of death.
Even though you're human, you still have that feeling.
Alpha also self-acknowledged that his identity was beyond human, but it was doubtful that Lee Ji-hyuk was really born human.
“About Lee Ji-hyuk... ”
“Hmm?"
“What the hell is he? ”
Argoras glances at the alpha and says,
“Why? Is it weird? ”
“I can understand the monster that Beltrechen is doing. It's a monster to anyone. There is a monster, so even if there is a higher rank, there's nothing odd about it. But isn't Lee Hyuk human? ”
Argoras shakes his head.
“Humans.”
Alpha gazes at Argoras unanswered.
“You're mistaken. The Demon King is indispensable to the Demons. Not just because they were born that way, nor because they were meant to be. There are places that cannot be sustained by such natural strength. ”
“Hmm……. ”
“The same is true of Lee Hyuk. He was a man, but he rose above the Demon King. In the eyes of ordinary beings like you and me, it's a mystery. They are creatures that cannot be understood or tried to understand. ”
“You're full of shit. ”
“That's what I said. ”
Alpha quietly thought about Lee Hyuk.
“That feels subtle. ”
I know that Lee Ji-hyuk will be a stumbling block in his future, but I also felt that Lee Ji-hyuk is building human pride.
If he had seen the Demon King without Lee Hyuk, his sense of self-esteem would have plagued him.
That's why Lee Hyuk was an enemy, but he had to admire him.
“But Lee Hyuk was much stronger in the past? ”
“Now he's just a shell. ”
“And you're equal to the Demon King? ”
Argoras chuckles.
“Beltreche is the Demon King, but he is a subordinate. The top 13 are different from the other Demon Kings. ”
“Well……. ”
“And the ninety-ninth Demon King once crushed all those Demon Kings and climbed to the top of the barn system. ”
“You took them all down? ”
“Of course not. If you had face-to-face with the top Demon King, there would have been no horsepower left. However, even the top Demon Kings did not try to conflict with him. So it's the pinnacle of meditation. He was.”
I felt goosebumps on Alpha's back.
As a human being, there was one who stood in that position.
“What remains now is his convenience, which was too strong in the past, and even that convenience is too strong for a human being. ”
Alpha nods.
I can't really feel Lee Hyuk's past. I don't understand the concept of power at all. However, I had to empathize that Lee Hyuk was too strong to be human.
But which way should I look at him? ’
Is he human?
Or is he a capable man?
It was an ambiguous return to the Alpha standard.
“It doesn't matter now. Something else is important. ”
The Alpha shakes his head as he looks at the black bead that Argorah is giving him.
“You're pushing it too hard. You rotten devil. ”
“You will be rewarded. ”
“Having to believe in the devil and work for nothing is insane. ”
Unlike what you said, Alpha took the Black Bead from Argoras with ease.
Choi Jung-hoon came into the room and opened his mouth to Lee Hyuk.
“How are you feeling? ”
Lee Hyuk nodded at Choi Jung-hoon's words.
“Well, I'm fine. ”
“Arms?”
“It's stuck. ”
Lee Hyuk waved his arm without saying anything.
Choi Jung-hoon looked at his arm curiously.
Seeing that it was definitely disconnected, I felt strange to see that I looked fine.
The emergence of talented therapists in this world has also shaken the health care system of the past.
But it was not possible to neatly bond the cut or allow for a difficult recovery with modern medicine, such as Yi Hyuk, to regenerate with his arms completely gone.
“Is it natural for you to be where Lee Hyuk was? ”
Lee Hyuk shrugged.
“No, it's worse. ”
It was Beraf's sacred magic to somehow return him to normal if he didn't die.
Dior's First Class Pantheon can heal any condition as long as he's still breathing.
Unfortunately, there is no concept of resurrection in that world, so there are no people who have returned from death. However, if they do not die, it is only Beraf who can do it.
“I took that kind of money and ate it. ”
“Yes?”
“No.”
Lee Hyuk shakes his head.
I had to, so the Church must be that active.
If you show someone on earth how to fix a severed arm with the power of God, he will be regarded as the divine spirit immediately.
It's enough to upload a few videos to a video site If it is proven that it is not a manipulation, it will be enough to turn all the religions that rule the world into cults.
No. They have powers now, don't they?
When Lee Hyuk tilted his head, Choi Jung-hoon frowned as if he didn't know what was going on.
“Anyway, that's not the point. It's important now."
“That's right. So what's the situation? ”
“It's the worst.”
Choi Jung-hoon handed out the pads he was holding to Lee Hyuk.
Video playing.
Lee Hyuk glanced at the screen and sighed deeply.
“Nice shot. CG has improved a lot. ”
“It's real.”
“Oh, that's a lie. ”
“I'm serious.”
Lee Hyuk sneered at the screen several times and smiled.
“Hey, Zombie Recovery. ”
“No……. ”
“Really?"
“Yes.”
“Really?"
“Yes.”
Lee Hyuk threw the pad back at Choi Jung-hoon and lay down on the bed.
“Oh, this is serious. ”
“You don't look serious. ”
“He left my hand. ”
“… you can't do that. ”
“I can't either. ”
Lee Hyuk smiled with an innocent face.
“What do I do?”
“ ……. ”
Choi Jung-hoon covered his face.
Why is it "double" again, human?
“Isn't Lee Hyuk the one who has some information about them! ”
“I don't know.”
“… No, more than others……. ”
“I don't know anything. ”
“It looks a little empty. ”
“Yes?”
Lee Hyuk's eyes went up more than usual because Choi Jung-hoon was suddenly overwhelmed.
‘It looks dirty. ’
“What?"
“Yes?”
This man keeps reading people's minds.
Though I don't know exactly, Choi Jung-hoon clears his throat, thinking I should be careful.
“Anyway, we need a countermeasure. ”
“I mean, I don't know. ”
“The United States is taking action. The problem is that zombies are expanding into Mexico now. Mexico is currently under cartel dominance, so it is less able to cope. At this rate, becoming a zombie nation is instant. We're going to wipe out Guatemala and Nicaragua in no time. ”
“You, you… what? Nica?”
“This is Nicaragua……. ”
“What does that mean? Is it alien?”
“… the name of the country. ”
“I've never heard of it. ”
Choi Jung-hoon nodded.
Well, there's nothing wrong with not knowing.
“It will be easy to spread the line of defense in Colombia, but South America is also dangerous in case it is breached. ”
“Of course.”
“So we have to do something about it. ”
“Of course.”
“So! What do you think?" ”
“Why should I? ”
Lee Hyuk jumped out.
“Come to think of it, now you want me to solve it as if it were natural! I'm just a passerby! Don't keep telling me what to do! What are you being taxed for? ”
“Ji-hyuk Lee's pecking. ”
“... Do you know it up there? ”
“Did I not tell you that my official mission has changed? ”
What, this fucking country?
Peeking people is a government official's job.
When did this country become like this after a while?
“Two, I should have voted! ”
“Yes?”
Lee Hyuk realized how much it cost him to abandon his democratic duty and stole his eyes.
When's the next vote?
“This is no time for jokes. ”
Choi Jung-hoon hardened his face.
“The insects that were spreading the disease are dying of weakness last night. But in the meantime, there have already been a lot of addicts. The United States is opening barricades to stop them because they can't wipe them out, but because the land is so vast, they can't stop them at all. There are spilling zombies. At this rate, the United States will also be in a state of irreversibility. Then it's over. ”
“Hmm……. ”
Lee Hyuk scratched his head.
I know what you mean, but all you can do is wipe them out.
If everyone else understood that zombies can't be brought back to human beings, Lee Hyuk would probably leave a name in history if he did so right now.
Well, that's not awkward...
“Hey."
Lee Hyuk looked at the appendage and asked.
“Is there anything I can do? ”
Appeldrich seems a little concerned, he says.
“There is a very simple way. ”
“What's that? ”
“You don't like Ji-hyuk? ”
“Huh?"
Lee Hyuk's face frowned slightly.
What are you trying to say?
Is that what I think it is?
