The Returner

4. Come to your senses (5)

Yoon Young-min tilted her head to see if she didn't understand Lee Hyuk and Choi Jung-hoon's conversation.

“Is the door open with the mantle? ”

“I think so. ”

There was no one who could answer except Jung-hoon Choi.

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

It was definitely too difficult for Yoon Young-min to understand. Choi Jung-hoon didn't exactly understand the concept.

“Do you know anything about the Demon King? ”

“Of course.”

I don't know exactly, but there was a notion that one of the monsters that appeared at the gate was the King of the Apocalypse. The United States nearly toppled over, and the United Kingdom lost its capital. Due to London's flight, the United Kingdom is now struggling to maintain its national system without foreign aid.

“A world where the Demon Kings live. A land where monsters roam and the Demon Kings roam. ”

“You mean you can relate to it? ”

“Yes. So, based on what Lee Hyuk said.... ”

Choi Jung-hoon, who calculated the efficiency based on the words of Lee Hyuk and the population gathered in Pyongyang, awkwardly laughed.

“If things go according to North Korea's plan... assuming, of course, that North Korea is really going to open its doors to the Mahjong through genocide, but if things go according to North Korea's plan, then the Demon King could come up with a dozen. ”

“It's not just Das, it can pop up like a one-plus one. ”

“... Why are they selling at this time? ”

I knew that Lee Hyuk wasn't trying to scare me. When we think about it, Lee Hyuk never bluffed or lied. I always told the truth.

But the problem with that is that it makes people want to twist their ears.

“I'm asking on behalf of.... ”

“Tsk?”

“What happens when the gate opens on the scale you think? ”

“How?”

“What about the aftermath? ”

“Uh, well……. ”

Lee Hyuk raised his hand as if he was trying to think of something, then lowered his hand as if there was nothing to worry about.

“What should I do? The end of the world.”

“ ……. ”

“No. I will not go to ruin. They're gonna need humans, too. So I'm going to be a historic moment in human livestock. ”

Say you are doomed.

“That, um……. ”

Yoon Young-min also did not speak for a while.

It seemed like a playful conversation, but even if it was horror, it was not an exaggeration.

“Do you have a plan? ”

Yoon Young-min looked at Lee Hyuk and said. Until now, there have been so many images of mastery, but Lee Hyuk always solved them.

“Once the gate is opened……. ”

“Yes.”

“Suicide would be easier on you. ”

“ ……. ”

Lee Hyuk didn't have to be a supporter.

“The Demon King is a bunch of crazy kids. ”

“Obviously. ”

Choi Jung-hoon nodded, looking at Lee Lee Hyuk.

“… what's that look? ”

“No, I'm not.”

Choi Jung-hoon turned his head back.

There is clear evidence in front of your eyes.

This human is also the Demon King. And Hercanada is the Demon King.

Since both of the Demon Kings he knew were crazy, there was no crowd even though he thought all the other Demon Kings were crazy due to the inductive assumptions.

‘These things are pouring out. ’

Cho Jeong-hoon is looking at him as a colleague of Lee Hyuk, but when he thinks he is an enemy of Lee Hyuk, how much action does this human have?

“We have to stop them. ”

Choi Jung-hoon shouted urgently.

“Lee Ji-hyuk is pouring out one dash from the other side. ”

“… would I kill myself? ”

Yoon Young-min said depressingly.

“You guys! ”

While everyone was in a panic, some ministers who were keeping their minds intact opened their mouths.

“We're not sure what they're after yet. Even if the author said that the person who owns the party, North Korea is like the emperor of Kim's family. Pig... No, that can't happen unless the High Commissioner agrees. But he has no reason to. Why should we condemn humanity to hell when we are still reigning as emperors in a closed country? ”

“Mmmm... ”

He certainly had a point.

“What should I do? ”

“Hmm……. ”

Park Du-jin, the secretary who had been listening to the situation, opened his mouth with a depressed voice.

“It is hard to move unless we have clear evidence of what North Korea is up to. ”

“But if something happens that the author says it will be bad. ”

“It should be treated as a universal situation. I think the best way to do that is to share the situation with other countries and come up with a joint countermeasure. At a minimum, four countries must be aware of the current situation: beauty, error, medium, work, and four countries. ”

“I see.”

Yoon Young-min nodded loudly.

In the meantime, I didn't think that they were working with other countries because it was fundamental that they were supporting other countries, not other countries.

‘It's not uncommon to be a leader. ’

If this had happened before, all I had to do was inform the United States and ask them to play the tango, but now I have too much to think about as they have to proactively solve the situation.

“Then inform the other countries of the situation first. ”

“Yes, I need more information to do that. ”

Park Doo-jin looked at Ri Jin-chul with a stiff face.

“I think we have more to talk about. ”

Lee Hyuk looked at the scene and opened his mouth in disgust.

“You can't torture and do that. ”

“I won't! ”

The thump shocked me. What era is this "torture" coming from?

“They just tortured me in a movie. More North Koreans. ”

“... Do you want to see the regime turn upside down? ”

I laughed as if it was ridiculous.

“I'm more curious as to what to do to torture the abilities. ”

“Not really.”

Lee Hyuk looked at Ri Jin-chul as if he were relieved.

“You got it?"

I looked at Lee Ji-hyuk with a subtle look of gratitude.

“Comrade Lizzy Hyuk. ”

“Yes?”

“... I really don't want to ask you this..." ”

“Yes.”

“Please save Chief of Staff Park Yong-hui. ”

“Huh?"

“... is alive. I'm trapped in the basement of the Palace of the Sun. He's still dying. Please, save him. ”

“Man, you're making sense. How am I supposed to get in there and get it back? ”

“Please.”

Ri Jincheol bowed his head to Lee Ji-hyuk.

“Hmm.”

Leaving that note, I followed Ryjin Cheol outside.

Lee Hyuk sighed as he watched Ri Jin-chul go out.

“Now, what, we did everything we could? ”

“I think so. ”

Choi Jung-hoon nodded, looking at Yoon Young-min who was thinking with a serious face. There was nothing more they could do.

“Then we'll go, so let me know when you get the results. ”

“Oh, would you? ”

Yoon Young-min got up from her seat.

Lee Hyuk opened the gate and waved his hand as he entered.

“Goodbye, then. ”

“… Yes. ”

As Lee Hyuk and Choi Jung-hoon disappeared into the gate, Yoon Young-min sat down and sighed deeply.

The Secretary of Defense swiped the ashtray in front of him and took the cigarette out of his arms and gave it to Yoon Young-min.

“Hmm.”

Yoon Young-min took a cigarette and lit a fire. I wanted to hang up, but I couldn't hang up because of these things.

“National crisis……. ”

The feeling that it wasn't normal was shaking his mind.

"Can I page Governor Song Jung-soo? ”

“Yes, you can. ”

“I have to take the governor. I can't do this alone. ”

“I'll be in touch right away. ”

“Yes, and please accept foreign reactions as soon as possible. ”

“Yes.”

Yoon Young-min looked out the window, folding the wrinkles in her forehead.

This was the first time that his seat felt so heavy.

“Then I'll go home. ”

Lee Hyuk waved his hand.

“Yes, Lee Hyuk. ”

Jung-hoon Choi didn't really catch Lee Lee Hyuk.

Normally, I would have walked away from Dong, saying that it wasn't time for work yet, but the situation that was going on was very strange.

“But……. ”

“Yes.”

“What happens if something like that happens? ”

“Destruction.”

“You don't have an answer? ”

Lee Hyuk replied without thinking.

“Even in my prime, I couldn't fight against the whole market. Of course, even if the gate is open, it may not be the entire barn system, but right now, I just have to give up and run if the Demon King is over 50,000. ”

“Mmmm... ”

“It's not thumbs, there's really no way. We have to stop it somehow. ”

“…… I see. ”

“Then I'll go. ”

When Lee Hyuk waved his hands and turned to the other side, Choi Jung-hoon tilted his head and asked.

“I thought you said you were going home? The house isn't that way. ”

“It's a little complicated, so I'm going to the game center. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

After Lee Hyuk disappeared far away, Choi Jung-hoon looked back with a strange look.

Is your head complicated? ’

Lee Ji-hyuk?

“Sounds like a nightmare. ”

Christopher bites the cigar and laughs helplessly.

“I'd feel better if my wife asked me to get a divorce. ”

“Isn't that good? ”

“It was a good thing back in the day. If you get a divorce after you're old, you'll look ridiculous. ”

I couldn't help but joke.

“If what the North Koreans claim is true, what should we do now? ”

“I don't know how. We must wipe out North Korea.”

Christopher's voice was firm.

This is not just about the United States. It was a universal problem.

Once the door to the Magic Cube is opened, it will not take three days to be swept from Asia to Europe.

Haven't they already experienced the Demon King's power?

It should take no more than 10 minutes for Del Karan to blow up London. It was also because he didn't need to organize London so quickly, if he had his mind, he would have flew away in an instant.

“It's too dangerous for the Crown Prince to pass. Especially if it's not the only one. ”

Up until now, although Lee Hyuk had somehow solved it, Christopher who had watched those battles right next to him knew how dangerous the process was.

“First, seek cooperation from intelligence agencies in each country to find out what is happening in North Korea. ”

“Yes.”

“And…. ”

Christopher seemed to be wondering if he should say this, but eventually he opened his mouth.

“Tell the vice president to seek cooperation with China and Russia. ”

“What cooperation? ”

“If you can't stop the gate from opening……. ”

“Yes.”

Christopher rubbed his cigar against the ashtray.

“... we'll have to spread a nuclear shower in three countries and wipe out a country called North Korea. ”
