The Returner

1. What doesn't work? (3)

“Why London? ”

“Halfway through.”

“That's not our fault. What could possibly make the atmosphere worse for Del Karan? ”

“Reasonably, yes. ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled bitterly.

It's not Lee Hyuk's fault.

It wasn't NDF's fault, it wasn't the talents' fault.

If it's wrong, it's likely that Del Karan hit that rampage in the middle of London.

But people are not so rational.

Eight million cities were destroyed in an instant. The person who died in the aftermath of the conflict between Lee Hyuk and Del Karan was a singularity.

But there is no one to blame.

The cause is not even known.

Who would understand if the Demon King came and explained that this had happened?

The cause is unclear, but eight million lives have been destroyed. It's the worst that ever happened to the capital of a country called England.

So the lost grudge was somehow finding something to be angry about.

‘It's not that I don't understand……. ’

It was well known that the existence of man was not so rational.

Although humans were said to be rational and rational, they were surprisingly irrational, emotional, and irrational.

In fact, it was great just to endure this much co-existence with other beings.

If it weren't for the Gate's threat, Satan would have been defeated even if Satan had been born.

The oppressed began to erupt from the very beginning of London, where there was war and oil on fire.

“You may not be convinced.... ”

“No. Well…. ”

Lee Hyuk scratches his ear and whistles with his mouth.

“Well, it's common. ”

“Yes?”

“A plague is spreading, and the woman next door is a witch, so she burns a healthy household to death, or the villagers take possession of Ogres and seek out virgins who don't intend to hunt or sacrifice. ”

“Mmmm... ”

“It's common, it's common. It's easier to turn your head appropriately than to solve an incident when it happens. ”

This guy, was he this paranoid?

“Well, I'm used to being excluded, but.... ”

Lee Hyuk leaned on his back.

I mean, I'm used to people getting insulted and kicked out, but how are the other talents going to take this situation?

‘It would be unfair.’

To put it bluntly, he was sent to war under orders from his country, and because of that, he had to be humiliated and grumbled with his bare body. Who would like that?

But I don't think that resentment should be expressed with hatred.

“It won't be easy. ”

Humans want to pay you back if they get hurt. So, even those who heard the grumbling didn't come out so boldly.

If anyone gets insulted unilaterally when he hasn't done anything wrong, won't anyone be depressed?

“We're in trouble. ”

War was not a problem at the moment.

Based on this war, it was the biggest problem that conflicts between humans and abilities could begin.

“What's the mood in the country? ”

Jung-min, who must be sensitive, asked me.

“Mmmm... ”

Cho Jung-hoon took a little time to answer and started vomiting, "Era, I don't know."

“First of all, it's the worst. ”

“The worst……. ”

“In fact, we were not a country that had a good perception of its capabilities. I've been doing my best to stop it from broadcasting or image-making, but the dam has recently exploded. ”

“Yes.”

Jung Jeong-min nodded with a frowny face. She didn't think that things would change so suddenly.

“I had something beyond my abilities, so it's better to throw it away quickly. ”

“Yes.”

Lee Hyuk agreed with Lee Jung-min.

Thanks to that, I was able to climb to the top, so I had no regrets whether I was stupid or not.

“But that's not the point right now.... ”

Lee Hyuk looked at Choi Jung-hoon and said.

“So were there any signs of any anomalies in the country? ”

“Nothing right now. There's not a big problem in the country yet. If there had been damage like London, the mine would have burst by now. But the Internet opinion is not good. ”

“Why the Internet? ”

“A man reveals himself when he has a complaint. Prior to Black Monday, we were hostile to foreigners in Korea. Now that hostility has gone to power. ”

“Hmm, well……. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

I hadn't really thought about the Internet, but I've often seen things grow from rumor to rumor in the past.

“But I'm also a little surprised that it works directly. without the capabilities, they wouldn't even know that we have a problem right now. ”

“That's why we can end this story at a high level of frustration. But we don't know what's going to happen. because if you go abroad first, there will be a movement of harmony in the country. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

Lee Hyuk, who seemed to be thinking about something for a long time, shook his head and turned on the computer.

“Well, you want to do a search? ”

“No.”

Lee Hyuk confidently said.

“I'm going to play a game. ”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon stared at Lee Hyuk because he was speechless.

If so, what was all the serious atmosphere just now?

“A game? In this situation? ”

“This is a story I heard from my brother this morning.... ”

“Yes.”

“Because I'm worried doesn't make a difference, does it? ”

“That's it…. ”

You're not wrong. Even though Lee Hyuk was thinking about something, there was nothing to do in Korea. To change the situation, you have to go directly to the place where the war is happening, but now you have to make the impression that Korea will intervene in a foreign war.

You must never do anything like that.

“Whatever it takes, it's up to the High One to decide first. ”

Who in Korea is taller than you?

The president sees you, too.

No matter how much people decide, if they don't like you, they won't.

So now that you're playing games, you want me to find the solution that suits you best and get paid?

Choi Jung-hoon stared at Lee Hyuk with a boiling face.

However, Lee Hyuk was already playing the game whether he knew that Jung-hoon's heart or not.

“Ha……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon shook his head.

I have to think about it. When did that man think about it with him?

It was Lee Hyuk's problem and Jung-hoon's problem to solve.

Why did you even pretend to think about it?

“No, you can't go in there! Do you want to die? ”

At the beginning of the game, Choi Jung-hoon sighed deeply as he watched Lee Hyuk, who started screaming at the whales.

Oh, God.

What did you give that human being?

I'd rather give it to you!

Choi Jung-hoon's martial arts became deeper.

“Oh, he keeps dying. ”

Lee Hyuk threw the mouse nervously and turned his head back.

Whether the game is annoying because it's not working well, or whether the game is not working well because it's annoying... When I'm at the ambiguous boundary, I feel frustrated.

“Why are you so angry? ”

The appendage gently reaches out and covers Lee Hyuk's head.

“I'm not mad. ”

“You look angry. ”

“When people talk, do they pretend to hear it? I don't think you should just say something. I don't think you should. ”

The appendage smiles softly.

“Words are more than just voices. The gestures, the gestures, the eyes, the communication. You can't believe it if you're so angry that you're not just angry with words. ”

“... You're the best. ”

Lee Hyuk sighed deeply.

“I don't like it. ”

“Humans?”

“Mmmm... ”

Lee Hyuk closed his eyes.

I can easily say that I don't like what people do in front of other people, but I felt embarrassed when I saw the Human breast in front of the lizard.

Especially in front of dragons who don't like Humans very much.

“Humans are like that. irrational, emotional, totally unknown, chaotic. ”

“I'm a human being, too. ”

“Yes. You're more human than anyone. ”

“Huh?"

“irrational, emotional, totally unknown……. ”

“That's it.”

Lee Hyuk suddenly changed it.

This lizard is fucking in front of people.

I'm just gonna rip the scales out.

“I don't know why you're so upset. Isn't that what you used to know? ”

“Yes, but.... ”

Lee Hyuk sighed deeply.

Human beings are incomplete. Everyone knows that.

If Humans could always act rationally, there would be no quarrel in the world.

I wasn't looking down from one foot.

Lee Hyuk was also incomplete, so he created a myriad of problems in Beraf, and ended up in the position of being followed around the world by demons.

Though I should have been here by now, if I had been a little wiser, I might have found a way back to Earth, even if it wasn't that rough.

However, Lee Hyuk was so contradictory that there was no other way. I couldn't reconcile.

“So what are you going to do now? ”

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

“We need to find the cause. ”

“Yes?”

“It's unnatural for this to happen simultaneously for no reason. It stinks. I think some guys are manipulating it from behind. We have to find them.”

“Even so, how are you going to find them? ”

“I have a hunch. ”

Appeldrich tilts his head.

You just don't know it. You have no idea.

“I smell something fishy. ”

Lee Hyuk stared far away.

The Horseman, the Dragon, the Demon King, God.

Lee Hyuk has dealt with numerous enemies.

However, one proposition that remained in my mind always made Lee Ji-hyuk uncomfortable.

‘The enemy of man is always man. ’

A man stuck in his brain.

‘Alpha.’

* * *

“This is going to be fun. ”

Alpha glances at the monitor and smiles.

I can see the state of war in each country. I didn't have to order a separate collection of information. There wasn't even a press to collect and inform the situation on their behalf.

“I thought someone was just watching. ”

The Alpha replies without turning his head to the voice coming from behind him.

“I'm watching. ”

People.

This changing world.

Alpha smiled and said.

“I'm just watching how the world is changing. I poked him in the side a little, but they made the choice, didn't they? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

But it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't stabbed him.

“So what are you going to do now? ”

“Simple.”

Alpha's gaze was plugged into the screen.
