The Returner

3. That sounds dangerous (5)

Yoon Young-min without delay instructed Song Jung-soo to call.

I was anxious to wait, and soon I heard that the phone was connected. Yoon Young-min quickly turned on the phone on her desk.

- What's going on?

“Ah, Governor Song. That's me."

- Yes, Mr. President. What are you doing? Give me a call.

Yoon Young-min smiled softly.

In fact, I didn't know Song Jeong-su that well, so I didn't really have much to talk to him about. If Song Jong-soo hadn't come to his feet recently and given him advice, he wouldn't have thought to ask Song Jong-soo for advice even in this situation.

“Actually……. ”

Yoon Young-min gave a look and Tongyang began to explain. Soon after the explanation, Yoon Young-min snatched the horse.

“That's what happened. So, Director Song recently visited North Korea, and he knows more about the atmosphere than we do, so I called to get some advice. ”

- Right.

Song Jeong-soo did not speak for a while after saying that.

Everyone waited for Song Jung-soo to clear up his thoughts without any urgency.

- First of all, I want you to go towards acceptance.

“But they say the war is immortal. ”

- Yeah, but they didn't do anything to jeopardize their lives. If there is a war, you won't even know that monsters are destroying you.

“I'm afraid so. ”

- And North Korea can't afford a war right now. Interior repairs will be a mess.

“Even so, isn't it true what's strange? ”

- Mm-hmm, right.

Even if it is theoretically perfect, if there is a war due to one chance, it is probably this way.

If a country with nothing to lose and a country with much to lose wins a war, it will not win.

- Hold on. Who said anything about powers coming this way?

“My name is Ri Jin-chul. ”

- Then why does Rijincheol come over?

“You appear to be threatening your life after joining the coup and failing. ”

- That's the guy crossing the border?

“ ……. ”

Yoon Young-min suddenly noticed something strange.

Normally, they would try to hide themselves or escape to China. There are some aspects of China that are hard to reach in the eyes of North Korea, and the Abrok River is much easier than fencing.

- There's something. There seems to be a reason we need to get over here as quickly as possible.

“I see.”

Yoon Young-min swallowed a murmur because she thought it might be hard to notice if it wasn't Song Jeong-soo. The routes are different, but Song Jung-soo is definitely an outstanding politician.

If Black Monday hadn't happened, Yoon Young-min wouldn't have been able to win over Song Jeong-su and run for president.

- Something unusual is going on. If you look at it that way, the strong tone of the North Koreans is unnatural. I feel like I have some very important information.

“Mmmm... ”

Yoon Young-min wept.

“So what should we do? ”

- That's all we had to do.

“Yes?”

- Pass it on to the people who will solve the information and analysis, and just eat the popcorn.

“Yes?”

Yoon Young-min asked with a blank face.

“I see what you mean. ”

Choi Jung-hoon hung up the phone with a stiff face.

“Lee Hyuk? ”

“ ……. ”

“Lee Hyuk? ”

Lee Hyuk, who was dozing off in the chair, opened his eyes.

“Huh?"

“You'd better get off work if you're going to sleep. No one said anything about going home, Lee Hyuk. ”

“Sleeping and tightening are not the same thing. It doesn't taste like this when you sleep in plain sight. ”

“Hnng.”

Choi Jung-hoon shook his head and said.

“It seems……. ”

“‘There seems to be a problem!' You were going to say? ”

Lee Hyuk put in the deal without missing while Choi Jung-hoon was leaving.

“I thought so. There's no way I'm giving you a few days off. I was starting to get anxious. ”

“… we don't create things on purpose. ”

“I don't know. ”

Lee Hyuk came out and muttered.

“Never once or twice have I ever tried to make a fuss over a man like a damn country. ”

“It's nothing... ”

How many of the things that Lee Hyuk has done in the last days are not a big deal.

A Level 6 Gate suddenly opens. The Demon King is coming down.

In the past, the country was treated as an emergency and a national catastrophe with ten level gates open at the same time, but after experiencing such a hell of a situation, it was decided that it was no longer necessary to summon Izehyuk.

Used to be a legend, but now an NDF agent could come and get him by himself.

It was a result of continuing to go through difficult and urgent situations, and it was a terrible level up.

But it's no big deal!

The injustice pierced the sky, but the moment I tried to convince him to go to work, he didn't have to attack Lee Hyuk.

“I think it's really important. ”

“When did it happen? ”

“It's really important. ”

“Yes.”

“It's someone I know, Lee Hyuk. ”

“Huh?"

Then Lee Hyuk started to take an interest.

“Who?”

“I don't know if you remember... Ri Jin-chul, commander of the Civil Forces Brigade..." ”

“Oh, that subtraction. ”

The man who saw himself and changed it remembered it very well.

“Is that why he died? ”

“No, I'm not.”

“But what's the problem? ”

“He's attempting to flee the North to the south. ”

“Huh?"

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

“Didn't you say you were working with his chief of staff? ”

“Yes.”

“Escaping means failing. Tsk, tsk.”

Lee Hyuk shakes his head.

“Chief of Staff Park Yong-hui seemed like a nice person, but that's how it goes. Don't make a fuss about your life.”

“It's not that they're dead yet.... ”

“Did anyone live after the coup failed? ”

“Dead.”

Choi Jung-hoon neatly ordered Park Yong-hui's death. It's hard to believe that he survived the North Korean coup after he failed.

I don't know if I can find a body.

It is a country with mortal mortal mortal gunfire. It was fortunate to be able to bury it quietly.

“But what's wrong with her escape? ”

“North Korea reacts strangely. He's determined not to let him go south. If our side accepts him, the war will be immortal. ”

“Khh, I don't know why they're so violent. ”

Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue.

“Well, the war, the sea, the taste of nuclear... there's nothing you can't do with your mouth. ”

“Weak dogs usually build them. ”

“So what do you want me to do? ”

“I want you to decide that. ”

“Huh?"

What's that supposed to mean?

Lee Hyuk, who didn't understand the meaning of the words, smiled at Jung-hoon.

“He wants us to decide what to do. ”

“... Are those guys crazy? ”

“Seeing that everything is sensitive, I think you should decide whether to get it or leave it alone. If you want to save it, you have to go by yourself, and if you want to leave it alone, you can play a game here. Isn't it right for Lee Hyuk to decide? ”

“Then let's play a game. ”

Lee Hyuk simply concluded.

“... Normally, it's normal to make a decision about going to the rescue...... ”

“I'm going to get her something pretty. What do I look like, an ambassador for UNICEF? ”

“No way. ”

“Actually, he was the one who was trying to get us in trouble the first time. I thought you hated him so much. ”

“No, I don't. I hate it so much... ”

“Yes.”

“I don't think the information I have is a joke. It's the first time North Korea has been so seismic since it escaped one person. Aren't you curious?”

“Yes, I'm not curious. ”

“... You must be curious. ”

“No, it's not. ”

Lee Hyuk grabbed the computer after taking the bait that Choi Jung-hoon had planted neatly.

“... This isn't it. ”

I have to go and save Ri Jinchul, but Choi Jung-hoon was starting to panic when Lee Hyuk didn't seem really interested.

“I told you our side is dangerous if there's a problem with North Korea. ”

“I wish there were some fresh threats. I'm sick of you talking like that all the time. ”

“… Can't you just go once? ”

“Yes.”

“Phew, got it. I'm sorry to say that I know that's not possible. ”

“No, I said yes. ”

“Yes, you don't have to go. ”

“No! I get it! ”

“Why are you so angry? You don't have to go. ”

“I said I'm coming! ”

“Yes?”

Choi Jung-hoon grabbed the confused head.

“Are you saying you want to go? ”

“Yes.”

“… Are you sick? ”

“I'm not going! I'm not going!”

“Ehey! What's wrong with you? You've got to be kidding me. ”

“I'm not going! ”

‘Ugh.'

Ri Jincheol gripped his side.

‘Just a little further.... ’

There's too much blood.

It wasn't until the fatal wound, but after not being able to stop the bleeding properly, I kept running, and I lost too much blood.

The front of the eye is divided into several pieces and blurry on the viewfinder.

‘No. ’

I want to rest on the floor right now, but if I fall here now, all I have to do is wait for death.

And now his death does not simply mean his own death. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of deaths will be together.

The heavy weight pushes up Rijiniron's eyelids, which are about to fall.

‘Just a little more. ’

I saw the fence from afar. All we have to do is get over there. I ran from Pyongyang to here with two feet and finally arrived here.

“Hehe hehe.”

Ri Jincheol vomits a twisted smile.

Then I fled from here to Pyongyang last time, and now I have fled from Pyongyang to here.

I couldn't stop the laughter from bursting when I thought I was running back and forth for a few hundred kilometers.

“Just over there. ”

Just over there is South Korea. Then you can go to South Korea and meet Lizzie Hyuk. Then Ri Jincheol's mission is over.

She kept blurring and her legs didn't move at all.

‘Wake up. ’

We're almost there.

After crossing over there and telling Liz Hyuk what he knows, he could die. So we have to hold on for now. Even if I think I'm going to lose my mind right now, I have to hold on.

“Ganna, you've come a long way. ”

Ri Jinchul's body hardened with the voice coming from behind her back.

Kuang!

At the same time, a loud bang erupts, and there is tremendous pain throughout the body.

“Ugh.”

Rijinchul rolls the floor.

“Cough!”

Blood gushes from the neck to check for intestinal injuries.

‘No. Just a little farther... ’

His eyes saw a colorful ether falling from the sky towards him.

Ri Jincheol closes her eyes, intuiting death.
