The Returner

3. Yes? Did you eat something wrong? (3)

When I get off the bus, I feel something strange.

“Hmm.”

Lee Hyuk looked around and was captivated by the glamour.

“Something's not right. ”

“What?”

Lee Hyuk shook his head when Jung Jeong-min asked.

“I can't really explain it, but I feel weird watching it. ”

Choi Jung-hoon interpreted Lee Lee Hyuk's mood for me.

“It's because there's no artifact. ”

“Yes?”

“In Korea, there is a minimum of telegraphy, even if you are going to the far end. You don't see that around you, and you get this strange feeling of glamour. ”

“Is that so?"

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

Even so, Lee Hyuk did not live too long in a world without artifacts.

And it's strange to just believe that....

“Aren't those artifacts? ”

At the place where Lee Hyuk pointed, there were North Korean troops with a long march to the left and to the right.

“Wow.”

Choi Jung-hoon was impressed.

“I heard you brought in all available troops. ”

At least 100,000 units were concentrated to an invisible extent.

“I want to tell you that it's great.... ”

If we think about what practically helps them, we can only do more damage in vain.

Most of the troops gathered here are armed with personalized weapons, and those weapons are pre-emptive to use against Humans.

How do you stop a Level 6 monster with a personalized weapon that doesn't work well on Goblin level monsters protruding from a Level 1 gate?

Although the Republic of Korea uses a personal weapon for Daegate operations, it is used as a deterrent, rather than for destruction. We don't waste lives in places that won't work like this.

‘No, if you think about it……. ’

Maybe it's not a personal weapon, but a human being, itself, for deterrence.

“That's terrible.”

“What?”

“No, it's not. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled as if he knew what Choi Jung-hoon was thinking.

“There are a lot of people who think it's better than a country falling apart. ”

“ ……. ”

“Well, I agree with you half the time. because it's common sense for xenophobes to have a picture of a country that opens up a bigger hell to survivors. ”

It was a world unknown to Choi Jeong-hoon. However, Lee Hyuk said as if he had seen many such cases.

“It's not a bad way to think about it calmly. The question is whether they think they're cold and they're draining like this. Well, the process is different, but the result is the same. ”

Jung-hoon Choi felt unexplainable in Lee Hyuk's words.

I thought that if I had the least respect for Humans, I wouldn't be able to talk like that.

“The minister, after all, is spectacular. ”

Choi Jung-hoon hurriedly said.

“Minister.... ”

Lee Hyuk smiled lightly.

Considering Beraf's final struggle, which resulted in millions of troops, this size was not one of them. Although there are advantages to the fact that each one is armed with his own personal weapon, we cannot be sure that they can win the Winter Soldier's matches, given that the troops who gathered at Derra Latrell were also the chosen paladins and wizards in each country.

So they can never stop the monsters coming out of the gate.

“The conclusion is……. ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

In the meantime, Lee Hyuk has helped the Earth's crisis a lot, but most of the situation can be prevented without Lee Hyuk having to step up.

However, there is a difference that Lee Hyuk can be stopped more quickly and more harmlessly.

But this was really one country to fly when it was left to chance.

Lee Hyuk looked around with a slightly more serious face.

Darkness is still settling, but there is no interruption in seeing how many troops are gathered.

“That's a hell of a lot of money. ”

“I'll take that as a compliment. ”

Park Yong-hui who just appeared said as he approached Lee Hyuk.

“People who don't mean anything. ”

Park Yong-hui smiled and replied casually.

“I wonder how useful a human being would be if I saw him as Comrade Lee Ri Hyuk. ”

“Hmm.”

“Comrade Lizzy Hyuk, do you think Nam Chosun needs you? ”

Lee Hyuk didn't answer.

“Aren't they all the same? Only the person who pleases them can be seen as a person. ”

“What are you trying to say? ”

“I've heard that they blame the North for everything human rights do in the South Korea. ”

Lee Hyuk's eyebrows twitched.

“But that can't be wrong. If you think about the money and power of the South Korean capitalists, what's the difference between the South Korean preemies and our republic? ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“Mister.”

“Yes, tell me. ”

“There's no such thing as perfection in a human system anyway. Humans themselves are unsafe beings, and what unsafe people create can't be perfect. ”

“You're right. ”

“But at least we know for sure whether we're willing to move on to a better system. ”

“You mean there is no such thing in the Republic? ”

“Well, not if you really want to build a paradise on the ground. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled meaningfully, and Park Yong-hui twisted his eyebrows and turned his head.

“Well, I think Comrade Lizzie Hyuk better watch your mouth. ”

“Let's not pretend to be loyal. ”

“ ……. ”

Lee Hyuk exclaimed.

“Why? Can I take you on your way? To South Korea?"

“What am I supposed to say when I go to South Korea? ”

“It might be a better place to gain power. I don't know when I'll lose my neck, but it'll be better than nothing. ”

Park Yong-hui quietly stared at Lee Hyuk.

However, Lee Hyuk met Park Yong-hui's eyes with no wavering eyes at all.

“Comrade, you're scarier than I thought. ”

“Me?”

Park Yong-hui bit his lip slightly and looked at Lee Hyuk.

He was just a strong jerk.

If he was just a strong idiot, there's no reason for the Nam Chosun to be so out of control.

“Comrade, I thought you were a fool, but I guess not. Park Yong-hui is mistaken. ”

“Chuckle.”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“I don't know what I'm talking about. ”

“I'm not talking. ”

“Hmm?"

“It's the eyes, Comrade. I've seen a dozen monsters on the floor. Things like animals treat people like toys are different from the way they look. ”

Lee Hyuk didn't answer.

“That was close. Well, that should make sense. The best warrior in Nam Joseon? ”

“Enough about you. ”

“We won't do anything until the monsters get there, anyway. ”

“That's why I'm saying.... ”

Park Yong-hui tilted his head.

“When are you coming back? ”

“I'm afraid it will take about an hour. The travel speed is not constant, so the exact time cannot be measured. ”

An hour...

Lee Hyuk frowned.

“No missiles or anything like that? Instead of waiting around here, I'd rather punch through everything I can while I'm on my way. ”

“That's none of my business. Comrade Commander will take care of it. ”

“Hmm……. ”

I shook my head as if I didn't like Lee Hyuk.

Failure to deploy the actual weapon meant I would leave the firepower to stand against the South even after this battle.

Of course, you can't know everything about the North Koreans.

‘Something's been bothering me.... ’

Even if the North Koreans were playing tricks, Lee Hyuk wouldn't care. There's no reason why Lee Hyuk, who didn't even care about the United States at first, would be so uniquely opposed to North Korea's movement.

But I couldn't get rid of something I felt bad about before.

The sixth sense, not the reason, keeps shouting that something is bothering me.

‘My gut feeling is rubbish……. ’

Lee Hyuk looked around with his low sunken eyes.

While not everyone else's intentions are as good as what they've caused, I've always felt like I'm playing on a long-term plate.

“Hey.”

At that moment, someone from afar quickly approached Lee Hyuk.

“Hmm?"

Lee Hyuk smiled as he saw the one approaching him.

“Where did you see that face? ”

“You bastard! ”

Ri Jin-chul, who fought Lee Hyuk on the military divider, was approaching with an evil face.

“Ganna, you're here! ”

As Ri Jin-chul seemed to be rushing quickly, Park Yong-hui suddenly stepped in front of Lee Hyuk.

“What are you doing? ”

“Comrade General Manager! ”

“They are guests from Nam Chosun. Don't be rude. ”

“But Comrade Chief of Staff! Them!”

“Hey, Ri Jin-chul. ”

“ ……. ”

“You risked your life to stop all those monsters? Be sure to answer.”

Ri Jincheol was unable to answer and sharpened his teeth.

“If your emotions ruin the peace, how can you wash away that sin? Wake up.”

Ri Jincheol bites his lips tightly without answering. However, I did not forget to stare at Lee Hyuk with killing eyes.

“This species or bastard.... ”

As soon as Park Yong-hui was about to scream, Lee Hyuk started to die.

“No, but are North Korean talent kids having frontal lobectomy? ”

“W-what's that sound? ”

“If you had eyes, you'd see everything. I don't know what kind of guts you're running at me with. ”

“ ……. ”

Park Yong-hui couldn't connect the words.

“I think I've been to every country since I got back to this neighborhood, but I've never seen a kid come at me like that anywhere. I don't know if this is ignorant or brave. ”

When Lee Hyuk killed him, a spark appeared in Ri Jincheol's eyes.

“Here you go, Lee Hyuk. ”

Choi Jung-hoon grinned and grabbed Lee Hyuk from behind.

“If your child is annoyed with you, you're not an adult. ”

“I'm not an adult. ”

“I'm that old.... ”

“Oh, I'm still a teenager. It's meaningless and unfair to be five years older. ”

“Man! A man must have a conscience... ”

“Yes?”

“… I guess I've come to mind again. I'm sorry."

“So? Patience again? ”

“No.”

Choi Jung-hoon glanced at Park Yong-hui, turning his head.

“Chief General.”

“Well, tell me. ”

“If insulting remarks about Lee Ji-hyuk continue, we will immediately withdraw from here to ensure Lee Hyuk's safety. ”

At that moment, Park Yong-hui's eyes shook.

“The President also said to be on the lookout for any abnormalities in Lee Hyuk's condition. If your troops pose a threat to Lee Hyuk in this way, we warn you that we have to drop out of the current operation to ensure Lee Hyuk's safety. ”

Park Yong-hui glanced at Choi Jung-hoon with a red face, then turned his head and yelled at Ri Jin-cheol.

“What are you doing! Apologize now! ”

Lee Hyuk stretched out his tongue to Ri Jin-chul, who was swinging as if he had a fever or something.

“Bae.”

Choi Jung-hoon gladly looked at the scene.

Well done, my boy.
