The Returner

1. What concept is that (4)

“I don't have much time, so let's just go to the office. ”

Choi Jung-hoon worked quickly whether he knew the sadness of Lee Hyuk or not.

“Open the gate, please. ”

I looked at Lee Hyuk like Choi Jung-hoon was asking why.

I'd rather die than be sick.

Lee Hyuk opened the gate to NDF without a word.

“Thank you.”

Choi Jung-hoon has entered the gate from the lead. After the others entered the Chagok Chagok Gate, only Lee Hyuk, Herkana and Jeongmin remained.

“Aren't you coming? ”

“Gotta go.”

Lee Hyuk nodded roughly.

But Herkana's idea was different.

“Oh? Darling, if you go like this, your mother will be surprised to see you again. ”

“I'm worried about all the stars. ”

“It's your daughter-in-law's job to take care of that. Outsiders don't care about that, but I'm the daughter-in-law of this house. I went to the market for a while, but then I came back and I realized how upset my mom would feel if they were all gone. Isn't that right?”

Jung-min's body trembled.

I wasn't sure.

The fact that the Demon King, Human, and Wife had left and lost the fundamental difference in mindset eliminated any room for the public to make excuses.

“It's no big deal to just call. ”

“Phone?”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

This is why you can't be the ignorant Demon King. No matter how hard and strong you are, you can't adapt to the modern world.

“No, Darling. I'll knock.”

“Hmmm?”

Did I hear you wrong? I beg your pardon?

“You don't have to go shopping. You'll feel uncomfortable if you call. I'll text you. Let's just go. ”

“ ……. ”

What do you think...

How does it feel to lose?

I don't talk much either, but that thing's been in this world for a while, right?

No, but where did you get your phone, and when did you exchange it with my mom?

“What Survival King are you? Why are you so adaptable? ”

“Hmmm? We're supposed to go to another dimension and suck people's souls out. Not without the ability to adapt to other dimensions. ”

“Did you hear that? ”

After all, when Lee Hyuk first summoned Erkana, I heard he had been in Beraf for thousands of years, but he laid down and did everything as if it were his home.

When Lee Hyuk first fell on Beraf, he panicked for two or three months.

“That's not the point. ”

Jung Jeong-min walked up and grabbed Lee Hyuk's hand.

“Let's move on, then. I told her I'd call her myself. ”

“Huh?"

Squawk.

At that moment, Jung Jeong-min took Lee Hyuk and cast the teleport. Suddenly, when the two disappeared, Herkana left behind a shivering smile.

“Hmm, that's cute. ”

She's a circus.

There was no way of knowing what other women's reactions meant. Most of all, she was sensitive to Eros.

“Darling is popular. ”

Her dull smile fades.

“Are you here?”

Choi Jung-hoon sat in the conference room and greeted Lee Hyuk.

“Something's urgent. ”

“This is a bit serious. ”

“What? It's not the first time I've been out of the gate. ”

“Well……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon scratched his head as if it were a problem and pointed to his vision.

“See for yourself. ”

There was a big map or a gate around Choi Jung-hoon's point.

“One, two, three... Well, that's a lot. But, hey, aren't you a mountain? I think I can just blow it up with a bomb over there. ”

“Normally, I would do that. And you see that stand there? ”

“Huh?"

Where Jung-hoon Choi pointed.

A red line crosses through the terrain in the middle of the map.

“Yes.”

“That's the truce line. ”

“... Hehe? ”

“The gateway is now an unarmed area, commonly known as DMZ, and the gateway is showing up on both the southern and northern hemispheres of the truce. ”

“Oh!”

Lee Hyuk asked as if it was strange.

“You've come to the right place. And you've never done this before? ”

“Luckily so. But this is the first time that this has happened. ”

Park Seong-chan distorted his face while looking at the map.

Why does it have to be like that?

“Trouble. ”

Kim Da-hyun also nodded and agreed.

“So what did you decide? ”

“I don't know. It's so tangled up. ”

“Yes?”

“For one thing, this is the Department of Defense, and this is ours... Either business is intertwined with each other, so it's hard to keep things organized. The President would have cleaned it up in the past, but nowadays the president is also saying that his health is not good.... ”

People's gaze was directed at Lee Hyuk.

“… What? ”

Lee Hyuk confidently looked at them.

“What? ”

“No, I'm not.”

I had a lot to say, but I was unfortunate that I didn't have the courage to say it in front of Lee Hyuk.

“The vase.”

“Yeah, maybe. ”

“You must be the vase.”

That's what happened to him.

Ordinary people would flip over if they were like that, but people around the president of a country looked like that, so it couldn't have been easy to stay sane.

The vase will come by default.

“What?"

“I'm not.”

But I didn't feel sorry for him.

When I got involved with Lee Hyuk, it was that stressful. Everyone took it as a basic thing, and the president saw it once and said it was better.

They're still facing each other.

“So what do we do? ”

Look at me.

He's doing it.

Where did you hear everything so far?

“Once the situation is settled, we'll have a better idea of how to proceed. ”

“Then why did you call me in a hurry? ”

“ ……. ”

Sometimes it's sharp.

It was another attraction of Lee Hyuk to be thorough in matters related to self-interest or time off.

“You'll need to be on standby to get there. ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

“On the move?”

Lee Hyuk's eyes turned to the map.

This is an unarmed area. In other words, no civilians can enter. And you want to put a man in here and start a war?

“Go out here and fight monsters? ”

“That's right.”

“What about mines?”

“ ……. ”

“If my ankle flies, Korea flies with me. ”

If someone else told you this, you'd think it was a funny joke. Why are you being so harsh with him?

“Baby, are your ankles flying? ”

At that moment, Erkana crawled out behind Lee Hyuk's back.

“Why?”

A spark flashes from Herkana's eyes.

“Phew.”

Cold sweat started to flow from Choi Jung-hoon's forehead. Even if I wasn't seriously angry, I could feel my heart tightening as the presence of the Demon King made me feel bad in front of my eyes.

“Because of the mines. ”

“Mines?”

“It's like magic exploding from the ground. ”

“You can fly, right? ”

“… Yes. ”

He was very knowledgeable when it was useless, but he didn't know it at this time.

“Hmm.”

Lee Hyuk blurted his words.

“Yes. And there's nothing yet to be determined. ”

I cleaned up the situation because Choi Jung-hoon was right.

Lee Hyuk glanced a little, but Choi Jung-hoon smiled and looked at him.

Ha, that human…….

When did you get so cocky?

‘I raised a tiger cub. ’

Then, it was Lee Hyuk who thought that abilities had just increased a bit, and Choi Jung-hoon was definitely the most upgraded.

“What's the problem? ”

“Wait a minute.”

Choi Jung-hoon took out his cell phone, clicked a few things and opened his mouth.

“The problem is, we can't bomb the DMZ. ”

“Why?”

“The history of bombing military warships has never occurred since the creation of military warships. Although there have been shots fired with a private weapon or a support weapon, bombing the enemy's territory is like war. ”

“Why is that? Now that we have a gate, don't you think we should take care of it first? ”

“... I think so, too. ”

Those kids don't make any sense.

You're not new at this.

When were they supposed to act like that?

“It's North Korea.”

“Knng.”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

There's no better answer than that. Even Lee Hyuk, who could not hold onto a pod, refused common sense that North Korea could no longer hold onto a pod.

“So we're just gonna sit here and watch? ”

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is making contact. They're working in collaboration with the Department of Defense to try and find a compromise. ”

“Well……. ”

Lee Hyuk sighed and sat down.

At that time, Choi Jung-hoon's phone started ringing.

“I'm here."

Choi Jung-hoon answered the phone with a nervous face.

“Yes, this is Jung-hoon Choi. ”

I realized something was coming from my phone, but I couldn't understand exactly what it was saying. I could only tell that there was a slightly heavier man's voice.

“Yes.”

Choi Jung-hoon's face darkens slightly.

I felt anxiety on the faces of those who sensed the subtle change.

“Is that really the best you can do? ”

“Hmm…. ”

I got wrinkled on Lee Hyuk's forehead, eavesdropping on Choi Jung-hoon's line.

“Very well. I'll call you back. ”

Choi Jung-hoon hung up the phone and immediately looked into Lee Hyuk's eyes.

“Now…. ”

Lee Hyuk sharpened his teeth slightly.

“Tell me about it. ”

“Hmmm.”

Choi Jung-hoon clears his throat and points to the map again.

“Here you can see exactly three of the eight gates open towards our country, three open gates in North Korea, and two beautifully lined gates. ”

“That's subtle.”

It certainly looked that way.

“Even if it's a gate open to your territory and you're on your own, the gate in between is the problem. They're in no position to solve anything, and they're in no position to leave it alone. ”

“So?”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled as if he was in trouble.

“So, for now, we wait until the gate opens, and then when the monsters coming out of the gate come this way, we deal with them this way, and then that way, we come to a very reasonable conclusion. ”

“Well……. ”

It might be reasonable, but I feel like it's very passive...

“Well, that's fine. Well, if the monsters come this way, we'll just roast them. ”

“That is... … ”

“Yes?”

“The consensus was that the unarmed areas were not firepower, but that the talents would go out and deal with them themselves. ”

“Hoho?”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“So... ”

“Yes.”

“Just fly a plane and bomb it, and we'll go camping in front of it ourselves.... ”

“… not camping. ”

“Grill a Boar or something and deal with the monsters when they come this way? Leave him there if he goes that way? ”

“In other words, yes. ”

“Well, that's very reasonable. So... ”

“Yes?”

“Secretary of Defense, give me the number. ”

“... Calm down. ”

“I'm being very serious right now. Before.”

Lee Hyuk lifted his phone with a stiff face.
