The Returner

2. Look at where you lie and stretch your legs (5)

“You ready?”

“He's been playing Norgarian until now, and now he wants to see us' Are you ready? ’" ”

Jung-hoon Choi clears his throat because of Park Seong-chan's complaint.

I didn't mean to, but it turned out that way.

“Leave it. If you don't look for Lee Hyuk all day and ask us to solve it once or twice. ”

“I can't work if I feel bad about it. That's what I'm trying to do. ”

Oh, yeah?

And then there's this weird guy.

Seo Ah Young?

Chief?

Why are you picking on me there?

Who am I working for?

You know this was your job, right?

“Sir, what are you doing there? ”

Seo Ah-young opened her mouth, avoiding Choi Jung-hoon's gaze.

“Come on, we're watching the North Koreans. Let's get this over with. ”

“Yes.”

What is it?

How does it feel to be isolated?

I think I've done the most dangerous thing right now...

Jung-hoon had to steal tears because of the recent changes in the attitude of the NDF agents.

‘I thought I was the most trustworthy. ’

In KSF, Choi Jung-hoon was named as the most reliable administrative officer in the whole branch, which means that he was treated somehow.

He didn't do anything wrong!

I was just hanging out with Lee Hyuk, but then we met...

Oh, that's not it.

After all, his subtle behavior turned against the others as he continued to play with Lee Yi Hyuk.

What I should never have done as an Administrator!

Choi Jung-hoon reflected intensely.

“I, I just……. ”

“Let's get to work. ”

“Yes, sir! ”

“Ha……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon shivered with grief. Those people over there were all on his side a while ago....

“Hey, don't just stand there. Just lead the way. ”

“Oh, yes. ”

Choi Jung-hoon turns his head to look at the gate.

‘It is tightly packed. ’

In cold terms, many gates were open in a narrow space, doubtful of how this many gates could be opened at the same time.

There were similar cases before, and even if Lee Hyuk hadn't solved it, he would have questioned this phenomenon. But there's no reason why what happened once shouldn't happen twice.

The question was why it was opened here more than that, but until now, I was fortunate to think that the gates had not been opened near the truce line.

‘That luck was blown all at once. ’

“What are you doing!”

“I understand.”

Choi Jung-hoon quickly scanned the scene.

The first gate to open is the southernmost!

“Barricade yourself in front of the Final Gate! I'm going to blast everything out of here and melt it down with fire! ”

“Someone thinks he's pulling the strings. ”

“ ……. ”

I don't know whose voice it is, but it pierces where it hurts.

And it saddened Jung-hoon that his voice belonged to a woman.

I hear a lot of voices from somewhere, but he doesn't know.

You never know.

I've heard it every day... but you won't know it!

I'm the deputy director!

Is she turning into an old maid?

Why is it so hysterical?

A group of NDF agents rush towards the gate.

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk sighed low as he looked at the scene.

“You bastards, apply over there! Leave the other gate alone! You can't just stand in front of each other! Stop those scumbags from coming out of there! ”

“Yes!”

Jung In-su gave the directions violently and glanced at Lee Hyuk.

“Is there anything you dislike about it? ”

“Well, it's not like that.... ”

“Yes.”

“How long have they been out there? ”

“Yes?”

Jung In Soo tilted her head.

What's that supposed to mean?

“No, the gate you're looking at is like a gate that would have run away trembling if it had been before, but it's close to ten now, right? ”

“That's right.”

“But should I say it's a little weird to be laughing and making jokes, or is it awkward? ”

“Ah……. ”

Jung In Soo nods without even knowing it.

It is true that NDF has an ability that cannot be compared to before. The status of the NDF has risen to an unparalleled extent in the past, as the NDF, which maintained a moderately strained relationship with the Ministry of Defense, would quickly take control of the country.

Since the advent of Lee Yi Hyuk, the members have become strong enough to be the best in the world, and the firmness of the organization is more than in the past.

“Because I'm stronger.”

“Well, that's... ”

Lee Hyuk replied with a fat face.

“I told you to be careful, I'm sure he'll try. Why aren't you at risk? Do you know what a playground this is? ”

Lee Hyuk stared at the cheerful NDFs quietly.

Every time I go to hunt the Demon King and deal with a giant monster, Zombie Dragon, I can see that the children are out of the boat, even though a gate that size is open.

‘He's gonna bleed. ’

Accidents always come with caution.

When you want to win in a situation where you can lose a small defeat, but when you think, ’This is a game to win unconditionally,' you get 'Aggression.'

There are no battles that can be won without damage, whether it's battles or wars.

I've been overcoming without too much damage, and I don't like the idea of the therapists being able to recover if they're hurt or not.

‘I need a mental education. ’

When I see things that used to tremble when I look at the gate, my stomach twists and my body flutters.

Well, there is a reason that Lee Hyuk didn't have the heart to smile and pass it on, but this was beyond objective.

“Anyway, safety insecurity is a problem. ”

For over a thousand years, I've seen so many people die like that. So how could Yi Hyuk, who loves NDF, let them die in vain?

We have to roll and roll from head to toe with extreme finance and make them reborn as true NDFs.

“It's open!”

Then, with a loud voice, the southernmost gate turns completely red and begins to open its mouth.

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk twisted his legs and buried himself deep in the chair.

This must be a pretty serious situation...

“Can I get you a drink? ”

“Do you have any Coke? ”

“Bring me a Coke! ”

It was a serious situation, and Lee Hyuk was really good at acquisition.

“Hehe.”

“It's open!”

Choi Jung-hoon shouted in a serious tone.

“I know!”

Seo Ah-young received Choi Jeong-hoon's words.

“No, I... ”

“We have eyes, too. ”

Choi Jung-hoon tilted his head to see Seo Ah-young's reaction being played.

"What's wrong with this? ’

That's a little weird.

The previous operation was not so exciting.

Is this what you do every time you face the Demon Kings?

Whatever the reason is good…….

Choi Jung-hoon grabbed his thigh tightly.

‘Lee Ji-hyuk.’

After that, Lee Hyuk always stood at the forefront when they were all gathered for a while.

Lee Hyuk got all the attacks, and when he was in danger of death, he appeared with the wind and rescued people.

It was a good thing, but the result was not a serious problem.

‘Let's take care of it first. ’

I can't afford to care about anything else right now!

“Brace yourselves! ”

With Park Seong-chan's supper, the enhanced powers herd into the front gate, building a human barricade.

If we had enough time and had the ability to deploy troops at will, we would have barricaded them with reinforced concrete manually, but since we couldn't deploy dumptrucks into the unarmed zone, we had no choice but to create a squadron of capable men.

“But Jung-hoon Choi! ”

“Yes.”

“I'm really worried about those guns back there. ”

Choi Jung-hoon glances back. The three divisions and the guard weave a wide siege net. There are definitely NDFs inside their network.

If it had been the way it used to be, I would have made herpes to keep the network and abilities from intersecting, but now it hasn't been easy. There are so many gates, it's hard to weave herpes, and the terrain didn't help either.

“There won't be any gunfire. ”

“But……. ”

“I'll keep the ammunition from flying this way, so trust me and forget about your back. ”

“I understand.”

“It's coming! Get in line! ”

“Yes!”

Park Seong-chan opened his eyes and replied.

The gate opens and the monsters start pouring out of it.

“... What the hell is that?! ”

Park Seong-chan groaned.

The monsters coming out of the gate had never been seen before.

It was a strange, heterogeneous creature, half-melted and half-sharp, literally a monster.

Dark green flesh rushes forward clumping across the floor. Instinct disgust forced Park Sung-chan's body to shrivel.

“Ugh, I hate to wriggle! ”

You howl, but the moment you see the monsters in front of you, your cold sweat begins to seep out from behind you.

He assumed that the drifting form was an opponent who could not be controlled by force alone.

“Go, go, go! ”

With Park Seong-chan's shout, colorful ethers flew over their heads.

Kuang!

Kuaang!

Thunderstorms and blizzards. Monsters are caught in the Aether storm.

Choi Jung-hoon shouted.

“More before you reach the line! Sir!"

“Got it!”

Seo Ah-young raised her hands above the sky.

Goooooooooooo!

In an instant, a mass of flame whirls across the air that appears to be larger than a building.

“Ah……. ”

Something more advanced than the past.

A while ago, the preparation time was considerable to emit firepower of that magnitude, but now it was showing how much progress Seo Ah-young had made by pulling it out immediately.

“Go for it!"

Seo Ah-young flies a ball of flame at the gate without hesitation.

Glug-ug-ug-ug!

Fireworks, not explosions!

The bodies of the monsters begin to melt in front of an endless flaming storm that seems to have fallen off the napalm.

It's working! ’

Choi Jung-hoon clenched his fist.

Being afraid of monsters is because you don't know how to attack them.

Every monster has different weaknesses and different strengths, so if you deal with them in a universal way, the damage will be greater. Fortunately, this monster has a firepower...

“Stay away from Jung-hoon Choi! ”

“Yes?”

Choi Jung-hoon turned his head.

And his eyes widened.

Black-colored ethers from the side rush in like the devil, picking him up and swallowing him.
