The Returner

1. Find Lee Ji-hyuk (4)

An hour before Christopher called Lee Hyuk.

“The atmosphere is fierce. ”

“I think we have a situation here. ”

What's the situation?

Is that what you're saying?

“Then we'll stop them in the first place, not lose the cow and fix the barn.... ”

“It was a force majeure.”

“Force majeure.... ”

Christopher chuckles.

If the President of the United States calls the situation a force of force in the middle of the White House a hostage situation, what is the value of the United States military's existence?

‘Neither are we. ’

It was Christopher who had to stop this from happening. However, he also received a report from the Executive Office and did not prevent a recent incident from occurring.

It was making Christopher sick.

Humanity's build-up of systems and forces was crumbling under new concepts.

In a moment.

As those with abilities began to emerge, the world was covered with many surprises, and those who did not cope well began to be eliminated.

"Me, too. ’

It was evidence that Christopher was being thrown out of the world that he was facing this situation. What would never have happened in the Cold War is happening here.

“Are you so helpless in front of the people who are capable of being human? ”

“… Talents are humans, too. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

But it's definitely not human in there, is it?

Christopher was convinced by the White House CCTVs.

A woman walks into the White House covered. But no one who watched her tried to stop her. Everyone smiles at her, just as it is natural to enter.

“Are you psychic? ”

It was not uncommon, but there were not many with similar abilities. However, there was never a person capable of deceiving this many simultaneously for such a short time.

A woman on CCTV enters the Presidential Office. Then I grabbed the president off the chair and sat down and put his feet on the desk.

It's so natural.

“The screen has been frozen ever since. ”

“Yes."

Christopher pulled out a cigar and asked. Even the sweet chocolate aroma at the end of the poem is now annoying.

Christopher, who lighted the cigar casually, gives off a burst of smoke.

“So what do we do? ”

Christopher looks so relaxed that the deputy opens his mouth.

“Shouldn't we hurry? ”

“What?”

“Rescuing the president. ”

“I hope so.”

But unlike what Christopher said, he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

“Sir?"

“I know. ”

“Then why? ”

Christopher neurally snuffed out his cigarette.

“Then what do you think we should do? Can you handle this situation? ”

“… I am difficult. ”

“Even if we push our troops in, the president is already in control. Even if we lose a king, we lose. ”

“That's right.”

“Then we have to meet the terms and have a conversation somehow, but it doesn't seem like a match. If something happens to me when I go in there for no reason, there's really no turning back. ”

“I didn't think of that. ”

“Damn it.”

Christopher slaps his thigh.

I never thought this would happen. It turns out there is no response manual. I have to deal with it as a contingent, but it's not easy.

“So what are you going to do? ”

Christopher didn't answer.

In this case, it was the biggest problem in the United States that there was no one but themselves and no one else to think about.

I can see that.

“Wait for it. Any movement on the other side? ”

“Neither the Pentagon nor the CIA are using their hands. ”

“Warn them. If you try anything reckless, I'll blow your head off with that sniper rifle. ”

“… Yes. ”

Christopher sighs as he looks at the strap cigar on the floor.

Damn, they'll suck one more sip and pull it off.

I regretted it, but now I can't help it.

“What are your requirements? ”

“I want you to find Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Did you tell them you were in Korea? ”

“Yes, but something doesn't seem to be working. Since then, we've been disconnected. ”

“Knng... ”

Christopher took a deep breath after being annoyed.

“I'm going in. ”

“Sir! Are you sure you're okay? ”

“What's the alternative? ”

“ ……. ”

“It's already lost anyway. The situation with the president being held hostage is that we've already lost. Well, then we'd better fix it quickly. If I go in there and lose contact, blow it to the White House. ”

“Well, what about the president? ”

“This is not an important time for the President. There are plenty of replacements for that face. ”

“But there's no one to replace you. I'll go in.”

“If I don't deal with this situation soon, I won't have anyone to replace me, but I will step back. I wanted to retire so badly, do you want to clap your hands for good? ”

Christopher spit it out with his elongated mouth.

“I didn't do it when you begged me to turn you in, and I was told to end it with all the dishonor. I'd rather die than give you a promotion. ”

“Do you have somewhere to go? ”

“By rank. ”

Christopher asked the deputy, who had relaxed his mind by exchanging silly jokes.

“Again, tell them not to do anything nonsense. I'm gonna chew your head off. ”

“I understand.”

“Phew... ”

Christopher sighs deeply and walks into the White House.

“Get out of the way!"

The commanders who recognized him opened a path among the troops.

Christopher turns his head and shouts.

“Oh, and! ”

“Yes!”

“Just in case, put a call in Korea and ask if Lee Hyuk can come. ”

“… will he come? ”

“Let's get a straw! ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

“Damn it.”

Christopher took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“If you come back alive, you'll retire even if you die. ”

Inside the building was a bitch.

I can't say the White House didn't feel this way because there aren't many people who use it compared to the size of the building, but the White House today was especially frustrating.

‘I can't even hear you. ’

The sound of Christopher's footsteps hitting the ground is annoying.

It's overwhelming.

Christopher stepped toward the Oval Office, suppressing the urge to turn his ear.

The moment the president was taken hostage, everyone in the White House withdrew. So there are three people in this big building, the President and him, and even the unknown woman who is holding the President hostage.

“Mmmm... ”

How should we respond?

What should we do?

I have a lot of thoughts in my head. But nothing seemed to be a good idea.

It was worth it…….

In the beginning, he had no information about the woman inside now. You have to know the opposing Pokémon's disposition.I have no idea what the opposing Pokémon is like. What can I do?

Christopher felt like he had fallen into the middle of the battlefield without a gun.

The Presidential Office, a massive door into the Oval Office, knocks Christopher down.

“Phew... ”

He takes a low breath and pushes slowly through the door.

Bait.

Christopher frowns as he hears the friction coming from the old door.

I'll take care of it. Not at a time like this.

As I went inside, it looked a little different from what I expected.

Surprisingly, the president is sitting where he is, and a woman is lying on the couch in front of that large desk.

Christopher looked at the woman without even giving the president an eye.

“Hmm?"

Low breath sounds.

As he listened to the sound of his breath, Christopher felt his heart start beating like crazy.

‘Maestro, Maestro. ’

His old heart beats as fiercely as it did when it caught a cannonball flying right in front of him.

If she finds out, she'll be in trouble, right?

Christopher focused on the woman, imagining useless and absurd things.

She slowly turns her head and looks at him.

“Ah……. ”

The thought of never being shaken was just an idea, and the moment he saw her eyes, he knew.

The moment she decides, she will be her slave.

Her eyes were sucking him out.

The moment I saw her eyes unfocused as if she didn't care at all, I felt the urge to rip out a heart for her.

“Who?”

She looks at herself and asks.

“Ha……. ”

Christopher vomited deeply.

I could see why that president was standing guard, even though he was in no danger.

Maybe she told you.

‘Stay there. ’

That will suffice.

No matter who she is, there is no escape from her castle.

Such a strange and beautiful woman.

Even though he knew that he was never human, he could never take his eyes off the woman before him, even though he could also know that he was never friendly to them.

Why is this being in front of me so lovely, even though I assumed it would be anything like the devil?

“Khh... I'm a Ristopper. I'm here to negotiate. ”

“Negotiate?”

She tilts her head.

“Ugh…. ”

Christopher groaned unknowingly.

Her appearance seemed to change in time.

Even though you show a charm that seems to suck people out, just one expression changes and emits a breathtaking explosive base. And just by tilting my head a little, I was inciting the instinct to protect her with my life.

‘It's a monk.’

Then Christopher understood what it meant to say that a woman could ruin a country.

“Negotiation.”

It's hard to say a word. It was hard, but it had to be done.

“Negotiate?”

She tilts her head.

“That's strange. I've already told you what I want. ”

“What do you want? ”

“Yes.”

I have heard it, but I need to know exactly what it means.

“Is it what you want us to find Lee Hyuk? ”

“Yes.”

She licks her lips with a slight smile. The red tongue slowly and slowly wets its lips.

‘If it's hard, it'll be a heart attack. ’

Her appearance was immersing him.

“Yes, bring him to me. It's the only thing I want. ”
