The Returner

4. Somebody stop that guy! (4)

“Hey, Lee Ji-hyuk! ”

Choi Jung-hoon hugged Lee Hyuk's body and pulled him back.

“Let go for a second. ”

“Ehey, what are you doing?! Calm down, calm down. ”

“No, Tsk! ”

If we'd hit that frenzy in Beraf, we'd be strangled by now. I can't believe you asked me to give you my bag back to someone who came to rescue you.

If it was Beraph's Knights or Wizards, they would have given me a ticket to the Underworld, not a pouch. Cut her throat or cook her up.

Unfortunately, this was not Beraf. So, Lee Hyuk couldn't make them reflect as neatly as in Beraf.

You're supposed to repent of your sins in front of the Great Salt King?

Of course, even if it was Beraf, those who recognized Lee Hyuk's face would not be able to escape from the front.

“People should be ashamed. ”

Seo Ah-young seemed annoyed, too.

Jung Jeong-min sighed deeply as she watched the scene.

I always see it, but I don't get used to it every time I see it.

As a public-sensitive idol, she knew how stubborn they were and how violent they could be.

“Ji-hyuk!”

That's why I had to stop Lee Hyuk.

No matter how legitimate and respectful Lee Hyuk's protest is, no matter how involved with ordinary people, a competent person must be insulted. That's what celebrities do.

It didn't matter who was right or wrong.

What matters is what happens.

It seems that there was someone who didn't like Lee Hyuk's attitude as soon as Jung Jeong-min tried to calm down.

“What's got into you? ”

Lee Hyuk was in trouble.

“Phew……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon's eyes widened.

“Ah!”

“Ugh…. ”

I covered my face with a battle that I would never see Seo Ah-young and Jeong-min.

However, Lee Hyuk only laughed a lot.

“I wasn't flirting. ”

“But what's wrong with your eyes? ”

“Is this how it's supposed to be? ”

“How can your eyes always look like that? ”

“It used to be. ”

A middle-aged man who was picking on Lee Hyuk turned his head and looked at Choi Jung-hoon.

Nod.

Choi Jung-hoon nodded silently.

But you can't pretend to be human.

It's Lee Hyuk who wanted to be there.

“…… do you really have eyes like that? ”

“Tsk.”

“Why do you look like that? ”

“ ……. ”

Even Lee Hyuk in the world couldn't find anything to say at this moment.

Why does it look like that?

That's why I'm asking Lee Hyuk.

I didn't want Lee Hyuk to be like this.

‘Mom... ’

Lee Hyuk's eyes were covered with dew.

I was really stressed when I heard all the guys around me look like people and suddenly I was stressed out.

“No! Is this what I want to look like?" ”

“Then put on some sunglasses. The kid has such a bad impression... ”

Takeover!

White steam began to gush from Lee Hyuk's head.

“No, is he really going to do it? ”

“Hey, Lee Ji-hyuk! Ehey!”

Choi Jung-hoon cling to Lee Hyuk like a leech.

“Get out of the way! No, that guy! You don't have a head, you're pointing at other people's faces! Just plant your head!”

“What, you bastard? ”

The man pointing at Lee Hyuk grabbed his head.

I'm sad to see the sparkling head between my fingers.

How dare that rotten rich bastard touch Min Doo Noh Gun.

“You're talking nonsense! ”

“How long will you be rich? ”

The sparkling men, who were watching the situation in the crowd, went out with the man.

“Oh, um... Lee Ji-hyuk, that's a little harsh. ”

Even Choi Jung-hoon took his side.

“... No, I ate the insult first. ”

“A tear in the eye can make a mold. That's not an answer. ”

“… Ah. ”

Lee Hyuk reflected.

“Grow a head, then. ”

“Rrrrgh!”

Lee Hyuk backed away from the furious rush. The NDF agents who were controlling the people stood in your way.

“Calm down!”

“Let go! I'm going to pluck out all his hair today. ”

“Before that, I'll rip your throat out. ”

“Stay with me, mister. He's not the kind of guy you should be picking on. ”

“What are you guys! ”

The bald man coming out of the corner, the agents are starting to panic.

‘That's a good boy. ’

If this were Beraf, that man wouldn't dare to look the talents in the face. The moment I meet my eyes, I might slit his throat for feeling bad.

But here, an ordinary person with no power is persecuting the powerful again.

Where the concept of freedom and equality lives. That's modern greatness.

Lee Hyuk nodded, watching the scene.

I don't hate this. No, I actually wanted this.

No matter how powerful the modern world is, it is a good place to live, but the treatment of those with power is nothing compared to Beraf.

In Beraf, power is power, wealth, and violence.

Power could represent all of it.

However, even people with power cannot use their power against the public.

Although it is uncomfortable for those with power, it was a miracle that the system built by man protected the weak.

And Lee Hyuk is the one who longed for the miracle.

Maybe Lee Hyuk suffered endlessly from Beraf's barbarity.

So, there was no complaint about the situation that the underdog opposed him.

But still, a man should be ashamed.

It was not a matter of strength and strength.

Even if he was stronger than Lee Hyuk, it didn't suit him.

What are we going to do if it comes out as a tribute to your generosity?

“Hey, mister. ”

“What?"

“If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead. But you shouldn't treat people who aren't thankful. ”

Lee Hyuk politely said. In other words, it was as polite as possible.

But…….

“So what do I do? ”

“Phew……. ”

Lee Hyuk was embarrassed.

He did not yet know the truth of course that there are people in the world who cannot communicate with one another.

“Isn't that what you do? ”

“Yes?”

“You get your salary on my taxes. And instead, all you do is protect people from monsters. Then of course we should. Shouldn't you be sorry you didn't do it right? ”

Lee Hyuk was speechless.

I was not pushed from logic, but because I knew that nothing could be said to someone with this mindset.

Mixing the mouth itself was a waste of time.

“Uh, I'm... sorry. ”

You apologized?

Choi Jung-hoon looked at Lee Hyuk in surprise.

I can't believe "sorry" came out of his mouth.

Are you sure your powers are strong?

I can't believe you're backing down Lee Ji-hyuk from the world.

“Okay, how are you going to compensate for this? You guys, how are you gonna make up for this? ”

“Well……. ”

Lee Hyuk reached out and grabbed hold of Choi Jung-hoon and pushed forward.

“What's wrong with me? ”

“You're in charge.”

“Since when have I been in charge of this? ”

“From the beginning.”

“Oh, yeah? ”

Choi Jeong-hoon stepped forward feeling a peculiar occurrence of a person who did not know her.

As I stepped forward, cold gazes poured down on Choi Jeong-hoon.

“Hmph.”

Choi Jung-hoon cleared his throat and ventilated his surroundings. I'm not used to getting this look. Especially when there's a subtle hostility in his eyes.

“So what exactly did you suffer? ”

“I told you, the house and the car. Something like this.”

“That's not what you're going to tell us……. ”

“Never mind that! ”

“Yes?”

What's he talking about?

“I've been swallowed up by that weird coat of cloth. I don't feel so good right now. How can I make it up to you? ”

“Yes? Reward? ”

What are you talking about?

If it wasn't for Slime, I'd have saved lives that would have died, and you asked me for a reward.

If it was property damage or something like that, how could we get help and come up with a manual? But to compensate for mental damage.

‘Well, that's not entirely wrong. ’

If you have been mentally harmed by a national disaster, it is the role of the state to take care of the person and return him to a healthy society.

But even so, we can't do this here.

“There will probably be a desk soon and help will be here. I think you'd better discuss the details over there. ”

“Relief?”

The bald man smiled and opened his mouth.

“Who struck the accident and beat up the paramedics? This is all your doing, right? ”

“It wasn't us that did it, it was the monsters. We took care of what happened to the monsters. ”

“Yeah? So it's your fault you didn't get it right? ”

“Is it the fault of an unstoppable police officer when a crime occurs, or the fault of a firefighter when a fire strikes? ”

“Of course I'm saying that. ”

“Ah……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon turned his head and looked at Lee Hyuk.

There was a reason why he simply stepped back.

‘That's why the call center people are losing their heads. ’

The stress of dealing with true customers made me numb to the thought of Choi Jung-hoon, who had received the actions of so many talents.

The problem was that other ordinary people, who clearly knew that this person was forcing him, were not only helping him, but also helping him.

‘I have something to eat. ’

Is it because of the expectation that if a man's words are accepted, the compensation may increase?

Common sense has shown us things that cannot be done.

“How do you want us to make it up to you? ”

“Medical expenses and incentives. ”

“Haha.”

“Are you laughing? Are you smiling? ”

The bald man rolls his arm, blushing his face. What appeared to be tattooed underneath the sleeve was not an ordinary person.

But what does it matter?

‘A person is a person to act rationally. ’

The human being in front of us is either unreasonable or overly rational.

“So what are you going to do? What are you gonna do? ”

The bald man started pushing Choi Jung-hoon's chest.

“This human? ”

At that moment, Seo Ah-young came forward with her eyes wide open.

“Who is this woman? ”

“Hey, Lee! ”

It was Seo Ah-young who told me to calm down, but seeing her even touching Choi Jung-hoon's body, I couldn't take it anymore.

“What? What are you? ”

As soon as Seo Ah-young couldn't take it anymore, I heard her voice.

“Hey, mister. ”

The bald man who turned his head to get in trouble again got tired of the blue face.
