The Returner

3. No! Isn't this a little harsh? (2)

“It's not that easy for someone who's not a psychiatrist to diagnose a person's mental state. I don't think you've ever heard of doctors and pharmacists and medicine. ”

“I think you've lost your mind. ”

Lee Hyuk shook his head.

“One menthol is admissible, even in this situation. ”

“Thank you."

“But that's it. What are we gonna do now? You don't seem to have any more cards. ”

“Cards……. ”

He glances at Argoras, his calm demeanor on the ground, and sighs.

“There's nothing I can do about it now that the demon I trusted couldn't stop it. ”

“… clumsy. ”

Lee Hyuk stared at the politeness.

He seems to think that the power of compassion is as strong as Argoras.

“Well, that's fate, too. Why don't you have a conversation? ”

“That won't buy us time to open the gate. ”

“… how can this not be a self-ageing fruit, but how can it be opened to provide no magical power? The one who needs to power up is a ripe sweet potato. ”

“So does he. ”

Lee Hyuk nods, looking at Argoras on the ground. Clearly, civility cannot handle Mana, making it impossible to activate this anomalous gate.

“So, what do you want to talk about? I'm willing to listen to the will. But there must be a cost to prolong that life. ”

“No, we're not having this conversation! ”

Choi Jung-hoon grabbed her arm after Seo Ah-young became annoyed.

“Why?”

“Hold still. ”

Choi Jung-hoon calmly identified the situation.

Once this is resolved like this, there is no guarantee that it will be resolved this easily in the future.

‘Not one. ’

As long as they were willing, there were many countries that could handle things like North Korea. Africa is no longer under Western influence.

If Park Yong-hui had not escaped and informed himself of the situation, he would have had to watch as the door was opened.

So now I needed some more information through the conversation.

“I don't think they're back to their senses yet, but how do we get them back? ”

“Well, is that a prerequisite for conversation? ”

“Yes.”

“... Do I have to tell you that? ”

“I don't care if you don't tell me. I don't even know him. ”

If you don't tell me, I'll just beat them to death and not care what happens to them. Jung Ming-seong, who understood Lee Hyuk's words like that, surrendered.

“Let it go and we'll go back to the way it was. because it has to be a continuous supply. ”

“That wasn't Mana. ”

“This is the ability. Don't look at me so easily. ”

“You look easy. ”

When Lee Hyuk was dying, Jung Min-sung sighed.

“Yes. The situation makes it very difficult for you to find the right rebuttal even if you can easily see it. But if Lee Hyuk hadn't come, we wouldn't be so crowded. ”

“Cut the crap and leave a note. I'll make sure it's clean. ”

“I'm a person. ”

“So?”

“… you're a philanthropist. Treat humans and monsters without discrimination. ”

“On that side. ”

Jung Minsung pulled up the chair in the back.

I was ready for the men's discussions. Seeing that scene, Park Seong-chan grumbled.

“I don't know if I should be doing this. ”

At that moment, the United States contacted Choi Jung-hoon.

“The author must be connected to the Alpha. Alpha is a first-degree dangerous person. We recommend that you extract or capture information relating to the alpha. ”

“I'll tell you what. ”

Choi Jung-hoon turned his head to Lee Hyuk.

“Did you hear that?”

“… I didn't turn on the interpreter magic. ”

“Come on!"

Choi Jung-hoon sighed and explained.

“Well, I got it. It doesn't mean anything.”

Lee Hyuk turned his head again and empathy opened his mouth.

“To be honest, I don't really understand why Lee Hyuk is there. ”

“I don't really understand why you're in that place. ”

“… what I'm doing here is what you did. Anyway!”

Jung Min-hyuk opened his mouth resolutely as if he would not stop at Lee Hyuk's pace.

“You have the power to rule the world. Why does such a man live as a dog of power and the common man? ”

“Thank you for the food. ”

“No, that! I'm serious, right now. ”

Lee Hyuk replied profusely.

“I tried to rule, but it was nothing. ”

His expressions of empathy were subtle.

“You tried?”

“Yes.”

“… Oh, really? ”

“Yes.”

Jung Minsung scratched his head.

“Oh, that's not it. This is not an answer in my response manual.... ”

The politeness opened its mouth again.

“Well, it could be a different world. ”

“Well, what difference does it make? That's nothing. Just because I rule the world doesn't make a difference. It doesn't make me sleep any longer. I'm tired and annoyed every day because of the squinting people who say," Do this, "and" Do that. "”

“Uh, well……. ”

“And there's no need for that in modern times. Make money instead. I can live a life unlike any other powerful man with money. ”

“… a piece of advice to engrave on the bone. I feel very persuasive right now. ”

The politeness trembled.

Lee Hyuk asked the cigarette.

“Is that all you have to say? ”

“No, no. You die when you're done, but you can't end it with this. If the conclusion of the last conversation of my life is," Make some money, "that's just too sad. ”

“Really? If you want to continue the conversation, you'll need more information. Where's Alpha now? ”

“Well, that's a... difficult question. ”

“Then die. ”

“No! I don't mean to be difficult to answer, but I don't know where he is. If he was that easy to tell, he'd be screaming five octaves in a CIA basement torture room by now. ”

“That makes sense. Then spit out some information that you think might be useful to me. If you don't, you're dead. ”

“Hmmm, wait a minute. I need to think about this. Oh, how about this? There are similar projects that are being implemented elsewhere here, but will they be extended once you tell me where they are? ”

Lee Hyuk looked back at Choi Jung-hoon. Jung-hoon nodded his head and Lee Hyuk said.

“Recite.”

“First of all, Antigua is an idiot! ”

“What, man? ”

“No, it's a country! Country name! Country name at the top of Venezuela! ”

“… really? ”

“It's also in Guinea-Bissau. ”

Lee Hyuk sighed and said.

“Well, tell that to someone other than me. I can't even remember.”

After chanting the country's name, Jung Minsung nodded his head at the United States.

“Okay, now tell me. ”

“It's not just about domination. In fact, you can live like a king in any world. But don't you think the world is wrong? ”

“Why?”

“Funny how talented people are, isn't it? ”

Lee Hyuk looked back at Kim Da Hyun and said.

“Are you being persecuted? ”

“No, I don't know what you're talking about. ”

“I heard.”

Jung Minsung shakes his head.

“It's reverse discrimination if people with abilities greater than humanity are treated like humans. And that's just about it. Our talents……. ”

“Ah, that's enough. ”

Lee Hyuk cut off the words of politeness.

“That's on your own, and I'm not interested in that kind of thing. ”

“Not interested? ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

“That's not a question of right and wrong. If you had more power, you could rule the world. But it's only because you're weak. Don't whine about what happened to me because I was weak. It's annoying.”

His face was stiff.

“Is that all you have to say? ”

“Lee Hyuk is mistaken. ”

“What?”

There was a relaxation in the face of politeness.

“There are more people in the world who are more able to agree with our opinions than we think. ”

“Yeah? Well, maybe. But what difference does that make? ”

“Things are different. ”

The voice of politeness began to increase.

“Don't you know? The world is full of nonsense. There are too many things that don't make sense! ”

“Of course.”

“The world is rotten, and the people who rule it now only care about their own well-being. that the world is receding. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

“So?”

“The world needs reform. The emergence of abilities in this age is a signal to change the world. Don't you know?”

“Oh, I'm sorry... I'm an atheist. I don't believe in God. ”

“… Lee Hyuk, that's not an atheist. ”

Lee Hyuk put his mouth to the other side of Choi Jung-hoon.

“Oh, I don't know. I don't believe it anyway. ”

This is a body rejected by the gods as well.

“So, are we done here? ”

“This is flow. Purge the rotting human race and reinvent the world into a new one! ”

“Uh, no. ”

Lee Hyuk snorted.

“I don't know where you got brainwashed, but this one's not spineless enough to be seduced by a cultist's speech. Now that you've said your piece, why don't you go? ”

“What do you know! ”

The voice of the politeness made me crazy.

“Do you know what you do to talents in the unseen? There are still countless colleagues dying in the basement! Cruelly disassembled. You'd be full of hatred for humans in a basement torture chamber in three days. ”

“Well, I'm not that pissed off. ”

“… What? ”

“You'll find out if you're on fire for about ten days. Hate is something you have to look forward to. ”

Citizenship has lost its words.

This human doesn't eat through anything.

“Well, maybe you can. ”

Politeness gave up neatly. I didn't expect to be able to persuade a human being named Lee Hyuk in the first place.

“I give you a high score for having high expectations for humans. But from what I've seen, humans aren't rotten now, they are. What difference does it make if you rid the world of all who are now and build your own kingdom? So history revolutionizes with inflammation of reality, and repeats its return to the world before it. ”

Lee Hyuk said, looking at the empathy as if it were pathetic.

“There's no Utopia in the world. Find Utopia in your dreams, Mr. moon beaver. ”
