1. Find Lee Hyuk (1)
“On…? ”
Choi Jung-hoon stared at the air with a dejected face. There, within his gaze, was a gate with a black mouth floating wide.
“Mmmm... ”
Choi Jung-hoon thought he had seen a lot of situations.
Since Black Monday, his life has been far from normal, despite his best behavior, and he's been through a lot of unseemly, disturbing situations, and challenging situations.
Many people will lead hard lives, but when it comes to difficulty, the best life can be called Class S hard mode.
Even Jung-hoon, who had gone through that hard mode so far, could not fathom what to do.
“Are you gone? ”
When Seo Ah-young asked, Choi Jung-hoon replied with a big smile.
“I think so. ”
“Really?"
“Maybe.”
Seo Ah-young also looked at the gate with a broken face.
“Crazy bastard.”
It scares me just to imagine where that gate is connected to.
“Don't you think we should stop them? ”
Even Jung Jung-min, who had never tried to stop Lee Hyuk from doing what he was doing, was embarrassed to look at the gate. You feel irritated as you make a phone call, then suddenly get up from your seat and open the gate and disappear.
Usually, if so, I wouldn't know where that gate was connected to.
“I think we should dry it.... ”
Choi Jung-hoon stared at the gate with a serious face and just sat back down.
“I'm not the one who's going to get dried up. ”
“Yes, it is. ”
Seo Ah-young seemed to have the same idea.
“Well, shouldn't we at least stop him? ”
“Mmmm... ”
Choi Jung-hoon shrouded his face.
Cho Jung-hoon rubs his face for a long time and nods as if he's determined to look at the gate.
“Leave it alone. ”
“Huh?"
“Yes?”
Choi Jung-hoon seemed to have given up everything.
“You're not the one who heard me say no in the first place, how do you say no to what? And I don't know why I'm stopping it. ”
But Jung-min seemed to think differently.
“By the way... Is that where I think Ji-hyuk went? ”
“Maybe.”
“W-well, can we just leave it alone? ”
“… let me think. ”
“Wake up, Jung-hoon Choi! You look stunned right now. ”
Choi Jung-hoon rubbed his face.
Now is not the time to be dazzled.
I thought you said if you get caught in a tiger's den, all you have to do is stay alert!
But the gate you see here is not a tiger's den, and the one across the street is a scary place that's nothing compared to a tiger's lair.
While Jung-hoon is in a panic, the hand of salvation comes down.
“But... what's the problem? ”
Seo Ah-young leaned against the chair for as long as she could.
“You went to Cheongwa University! You know what you're doing! ”
“What's wrong with a slap in the face? ”
“Huh?"
“How can anyone do anything about him getting beat up anyway? ”
Choi Jung-hoon opened his eyes.
“Yes!”
When I think about it, it's weird to worry.
“I was pressed by the name Cheongwa Dae, so I didn't know the reality for a while! What should I do about Lee Ji-hyuk? ”
“What are you talking about? ”
Choi Jung-hoon said with a cheerful, subtle expression.
“If you don't want to die, you can stay put. ”
“Yes?”
‘If you don't want to die, let's stay still. ’
The Secretary of Defense has decided never to talk.
Those who did not know what kind of man Lee Hyuk looked like were baffling, but knowing what kind of man Lee Hyuk was, he was able to figure out what the smartest course of action to do now.
First of all, that man is invisible... ….
The second thing I did was not disturb that man's eyes.
“Now, you, who? ”
You hear a voice that does not know the situation.
‘Those idiots are spectacular. ’
You don't know.
Who will open the gate in this situation and appear in the Blue Waste? It's common sense that only one of us can use such a gate, but don't you know that?
‘Well, it's none of my business. ’
The catastrophe of ignorance was something they could bear, not for him to care about.
“W-who? ”
“Tsk?”
Seeing the man sitting on the table, the Secretary of State shouted.
Lee Hyuk looked around and found the Chief of Staff and laughed.
“Mister.”
“Yes?”
“I'm just saying, you know, you look like you're talking to me. ”
“Oh, yes. ”
“What's that guy doing? ”
“Secretary of State Transportation. ”
“Anybody doing Minister nowadays? With a minister like that? ”
“ ……. ”
I had a mouth, but there was nothing I could say.
In fact, he's thinking the same thing, but he can't put it out of his mouth.
“Who is it?”
The secretary who was annoyed by the Secretary of State's shout shouted.
“Oh, Lee Hyuk, who is that? ”
At that moment, a cool static flowed.
“Lee, Lee Hyuk? ”
The minister sat on the couch with a trembling voice.
Why does the Human suddenly appear here?
The secretary sighed and bowed his head toward Lee Yi Hyuk.
“Welcome to Cheongwa University, Lee Hyuk. But for what purpose? ”
“Hmm?"
Lee Hyuk took his eyes off the secretary and looked around.
Immediately, the man who was seated at the table came into his eyes.
“Oh?”
Lee Hyuk tilted his head.
I bet you've seen a lot of people on TV.
“Who are you? ”
Lee Hyuk was an honest man.
If you have any questions, just ask.
Everyone's gaze turned to Yoon Young-min.
It was a shame to lie to you that the president of a country was there, but I couldn't figure out how to react until I was caught.
“Me? ”
“Tsk.”
“ ……. ”
Yoon Young-min grinned.
Oh, my God.
The president's relaxation.
The secretary nods.
No matter how much the situation arose, it was enormous to be elected one president. It wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
I can feel the power of a human being from that smile to the top.
That relaxation!
The presidency doesn't have to go to hell!
“Don't mind me. ”
“ ……. ”
“There are a lot of officials here. That's the prime minister. Why don't you talk to him? ”
I'm getting old...
It's like...
Hmm…….
“Relaxation freezes to death. ”
A scumbag.
“Oh, got it! ”
Lee Hyuk slowly approached Yoon Young-min with a smile.
“You're the president, right? ”
“ ……. ”
Yoon Young-min's face turned black.
“Well, yes. ”
It was hard to deny anymore.
“That's great. We……. ”
Lee Hyuk's mouth smiled deeply.
“We need to talk. ”
“Oh?”
Yoon Young-min's face began to get very awkward.
* * *
“Hnng.”
Christopher McClaren was distracted.
“Please fix my resignation! ”
A lifelong wish. There was nothing I couldn't do if I could just give you my resignation.
Even considering the naturalization of that hatred of Russia, he's been hit and hit again and again.
If you return to Russia, your work will be reduced.
It must be stressful to be wandering around with those damn Russians, but I'm not going to die in the line of duty. I'm willing to get along with the Russians if I give them a little break.
“Why are you starting a war? Crazy people.”
Christopher wrapped his head around it.
The Grand Gate manual is pouring snow from the sky, and Mexico is crossing the border, but Russia is invading Ukraine.
In the United States, where the world's police were accused, cases were happening all over the world, and we didn't know where to start.
Even if it was domestic forces that focused them on the fire at the foot of Mexico, they still had a headache about how to operate troops going overseas.
The damn Defense Minister is‘ father 'because he's incompetent, and everything is falling to Christopher.
‘I have to resign. ’
This is old age abuse.
If I go on living like this for a month, Christopher will die of fatigue first. I could be sure.
At that moment, the deputy jumped in, opening the door wide.
Christopher went to work before the deputy opened his mouth.
“We've got trouble! ”
“ ……. ”
“... right? I'm sick of it, so find something else to say. ”
“This is really bad. ”
“I know! I know! What's not the big deal? It's a big deal!”
“No, it's a big deal. ”
“Phew... ”
Christopher sighs and lights the cigar.
I don't know what the hell is going on here, but what's the big deal? It's happening ten more times a day.
“Hehe.”
Christopher, a deep smoke sucker, slowly emits cigar smoke.
“Yeah, tell me about it. ”
“The White House has been captured. ”
“Well, yes. So... what? ”
Christopher stares at the deputy blindly.
Am I hearing this wrong?
I think I heard something strange.
“The White House has been captured. ”
“... You're kidding, right? ”
“I'm serious.”
“Hey, you lunatic! The White House is occupied somewhere! Who are you, Mexico? Or is it Russia, or is it the Alpha? ”
“No. That's... ”
“Speak up before it explodes in people! ”
“An unknown force so far. No, there's only one person… who's a little ambiguous because he's a force. ”
“One? ”
“Yes.”
One man took the White House?
The horse is strange, but I can see what's going on. The White House is where the President lives, and the White House is occupied, which means the president is being held hostage.
Doesn't that mean one person has broken into the White House and taken the President hostage?
“... You're crazy. ”
What is the White House like?
It is the home of the President of the United States.
The White House is where all the power has been invested to identify and prevent the possibility of assassination and terrorism through its capabilities since the emergence of its capabilities.
And you went in there alone?
“… Can't you figure out who it is? ”
“Yes, the impression itself has never been seen before. ”
“Where's the kill?”
“Impossible.”
Phew...
Christopher scratches his head.
This is the worst. We'll need a more detailed briefing, but it can't be worse than this.
The hopeful part is that now we are just overwhelming them. If so, there would be a requirement, and the president's safety could not be guaranteed.
“So what are the requirements? ”
“It's a bit……. ”
“What?"
The deputy hesitated and opened his mouth.
“... Find Lee Ji-hyuk. ”
“Huh?"
Christopher stares at the deputy blindly.
What the fuck is this?
