The Returner

3. Then let me ask you to try to solve it (1)

In Choi Jung-hoon's head, Juma lamp touched.

Before the brain fully understood the current situation and noticed the crisis, the body felt death first.

Choi Jung-hoon was unable to react to the sudden feeling of death.

The moment I felt the malice of flying black ether, I had to wait for death to come as stiff as a statue.

“Get out of the way!”

Then, someone tightly grabbed his waist.

“Huff!”

Then Choi Jung-hoon, who was relieved, swallowed the wind in vain.

Pass Drifter Kim Da-hyun suddenly appeared next to Jung-hoon and jumped in his arms.

Kuaang!

Choi Jung-hoon's spot explodes with a thunderstorm.

“Monster?”

Kim Da-hyun shakes his head when Jung-hoon, who didn't know the situation, asked in a dazed voice.

“No.”

It was unclear whether the monsters in sight could vent the ether. The kind of monster I've never seen before. So those monsters could have emitted ether.

But I was sure it wasn't Kim Da Hyun.

The first direction was different.

The Aether's direction is not towards the creature.

Which way is it......

“Hey!"

Kim Da-hyun pointed beyond the military divider.

It was the sight of colorful ethers pouring into Korea's power that caught Choi Jeong-hoon's eye, following Kim Da-hyun's hand.

“You're crazy! ”

Choi Jung-hoon was surprised and yelled.

“Move!”

Even before Choi Jung-hoon's words were almost finished, South Korean talents avoided the falling ethers, blowing their bodies all over the place.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a series of explosions.

It was a devastating attack that I was confident would have killed the agents if I hadn't found out and dodged them in time.

“You bastards! ”

Choi Jung-hoon's eyes lit up.

Are you asking me to be safe after attacking so openly?

“Put me down!"

“Yes.”

Kim Da-hyun put him to the ground in Choi Jung-hoon's voice, which sank low.

Choi Jung-hoon's face was hard.

After the fireworks, the situation clearly caught my attention.

Not too far away, the North Korean troops were waving at them.

“Hey, no one got hurt? ”

Rrrrgh.

Choi Jung-hoon gritted his teeth.

Lieutenant Ri Jincheol makes excuses with a subtle smile.

“I lost my aim a little bit. That's not why I asked you to unify my system in advance. Don't look at me like that. I didn't do it on purpose. You want to kill your own people? ”

Choi Jung-hoon gritted his teeth.

Missed your aim?

Who would believe me if I told you that not one or two people shot the Aether into one place with a group and missed it?

It was like making fun of someone.

When has NDF ever been treated like this?

This was the first time that NDF has been ignored or provoked by other countries' capabilities since it was founded. No matter how much the future of Lee Hyuk played a role, even NDF itself has gained skills and achievements that no one in the world can ignore.

That pride was something they were touching.

“Those assholes? ”

Park Seong-chan gritted his teeth and walked toward the north.

The gate behind it is not yet closed, and there is a crisis that may not know when the other gate will open, but it cannot be bypassed.

“Cheers! ”

“Don't stop me. I'm gonna smash those bastards to bits with this opportunity. ”

“Calm down. That's North Korea. ”

“What's the door? ”

“It's North Korea they're standing on! ”

Park Seong-chan stopped.

“Once inside, there is no protection of the state. And as soon as our talents cross the border, they can give themselves a provocative beating. ”

“Oh, shit. ”

Park Seong-chan was not a muscle to the head just because he was a physical person.

He was not stupid enough to guess what it would cost to enter North Korea.

“Don't you think we should get a North Korean piglet for this opportunity? ”

“You know better than that, don't you? ”

“Damn it.”

Park Seong-chan burst out in anger, kicking the floor.

“You bastards. If you're confident, come over here. I'll make you some blood. ”

Lieutenant Ri Jincheol sees that and asks the deputy next to him.

“What's that? ”

“How did the person know what the pig was saying? ”

“You're right. ”

When they started laughing, Park Seong-chan got so hot that his head started to smoke.

“Calm down.”

“Relax?”

Park Seong-chan shouted.

“Damn it, why do we always have to be so patient after getting beaten up like this? We're not weak! ”

“You're not afraid to fight a madman. ”

“You avoid it because it's dirty. Who knows? But if that shit is in the front yard of our house, we have to get rid of it! ”

Did Park Seong-chan always talk so well?

Choi Jung-hoon suppressed the rising question.

“I know what you mean, but it's not good. The gate is opening right now. ”

“Damn it.”

Park Seong-chan uttered his profanity and turned around for a while.

“One more time like this and I won't stand for it. ”

“Yes. I won't stand for it then. ”

“Oh, fuck, stop that right there! ”

Park Seong-chan shouted and ran back to the line. Despite being blocked by other strengthened forces, Park Seong-chan, who is also a prominent strengthened force member of the NDF, was left with a large vacancy.

The monsters pushed out of the gate are pushing their abilities away.

Choi Jung-hoon sighed as he watched Park Seong-seong return to the line.

‘That can't be wrong. ’

The response to North Korea was similar every time.

When a war is at stake, many will be lost.

North Korea is still a tough country, but South Korea is one of its top developed countries. It is clear which side of the war will be more devastating.

So whenever I saw any turbulent movement, I had to apply the brakes on this side.

After seeing the situation repeatedly, it is difficult to find another way even though we know that this side can no longer be pushed back.

‘And I'm the same. ’

Choi Jeong-hoon, who had hated such an attitude, had to stop when he felt that he was responsible for everything.

No one wants to be the cause of war.

The pain the people of this land suffered was too great to do anything but feel it.

“Don't look at me like that. Don't people make mistakes when they're working? ”

“If this happens again, I won't stand here, so you'd better be careful. ”

“You know how to threaten a girl like you? ”

‘These bastards. ’

I felt like going in there and tearing those bastards' mouths off.

Choi Jung-hoon turned his head because he didn't want to talk to them anymore.

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon turned in the opposite direction and saw Lee Hyuk sitting in a chair drinking cola.

Even though it was a long distance, it was clear that Lee Hyuk's eyes were smiling in a crescent shape.

Wealthy.

I don't know why, but the moment I saw Lee Hyuk's eyes, my body trembled.

I think he's laughing at me.

Are you laughing at me?

“Personality. ”

I felt like going to Ms. Park Seon-deok and complaining about what was going on in the process of her growth.

“Hey, Jung-hoon Choi! ”

Lee Hyuk also called Choi Jung-hoon out in a loud voice, knowing that Choi Jung-hoon was looking at him.

“Why?”

The words are blunt.

If you can answer me nicely in this situation, is that a person or a Confucius?

“You'd better not turn your back. ”

“Yes?”

“You'll fly again? ”

“ ……. ”

What do you mean, they're flying again? What do you mean?

At that moment, Choi Jung-hoon shifted.

On the other hand, at that moment, a mass of ether began to fly back from the North Korea.

“You bastards! ”

Luckily or unfortunately, it didn't fly towards Choe Jung-hoon this time, but the situation was even worse.

Blocking the gate, the Aether begins to fly towards the agents.

“Move!”

Choi Jung-hoon shouted in a hurry, and the people who knew the situation left the monsters behind and rushed out.

“Yi!”

Park Seong-chan hurriedly jumped forward.

You say you're avoiding them, but there are agents who won't get away. If they withdraw like this, they will be struck down by the ether.

“Ahhhh! Damn it! ”

Park Seong-chan shouted and jumped into the ether that was flying towards them.

“Cheers! ”

Choi Jung-hoon shouted, but I couldn't stop Park Seong-chan's behavior.

Kuaang!

The ether that hit Park Seong-chan's body exploded.

The explosion was closer than the original target, so the other agents were safe.

Rrrrgh.

Choi Jung-hoon gritted his teeth.

I was eager to focus my firepower on North Korea and destroy it all, but now, the comfort of Park Sung Ding is more important than that.

“Medic!”

There's nothing to worry about if the Elves come with us, but how to get the Elves in the United States right now...

“Jung Hae-min! We need you to go to America right now and get the Elves! Healing magic is needed! ”

“Okay."

Jung-min also tried to cast a teleport to make sure he knew the situation was serious.

“No, thank you. ”

“… Huh? ”

However, Jung-min stopped at Lee Hyuk's voice coming from behind his back.

“You're not hurt, are you over doing it? Don't you see?”

When I saw where Lee Hyuk was pointing, the dust settled and Park Seong-chan appeared.

Although the garment became a mop piece, my body seemed fine. It burns black, but it's not life-threatening.

If you were a layman, I'd blame you.

However, given the physical abilities of the reinforcement system, it was an injury that could be a natural recovery.

“Thank goodness.”

Choi Jung-hoon sighed.

“Good thing it froze to death. ”

Lee Hyuk slowly got up from the chair.

“Well, you have to be nervous and live. What's this? He's being beaten like an idiot. They declared they were gonna screw us, and they couldn't handle it! ”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon bowed his head silently.

There was no excuse.

“Payback's a bitch.”

“Is there a war going on? No retaliation.”

“So you're just going to stand there? ”

“Who can stand it? ”

“Really?"

“It's not retaliation. Anyway, this gate will take care of this one, and that gate will take care of that one. ”

“Well, yes. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“Then let's ask him to solve it. ”

When Jung-hoon saw the face full of emotions of Lee Hyuk, he began to feel anxious.
