The Returner

3. No! Isn't this a little harsh? (5)

Choi Jung-hoon's eyes began to tremble.

The world has changed?

“W-we have to stop it..." ”

However, Choi Jung-hoon was intuitive.

That can't be stopped.

Without Lee Hyuk, they did not have the power to reverse the situation.

No, I didn't understand what was going on before that.

What's going on? ’

Does that Black Gate open a complete passageway to the Magic System?

Choi Jung-hoon gripped his teeth.

It was a world where the Demon King alone was on the verge of extinction. Without Lee Hyuk, the world would have been destroyed already.

But what if the gates to the Demon Kings were open?

End of story.

There's nothing we can do to stop them.

Choi Jung-hoon opened his mouth with a straight face.

“Maybe... not what you think. ”

Alpha looks at Jung-hoon with a double face.

“Is there a number of spleens? ”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon didn't answer and picked up the radio.

“You're watching, right? ”

- Yes.

“Has it begun?”

- It's already launched that way.

“That was quick.

- Pull yourself out. There's nothing more I can do.

“Sure."

Choi Jung-hoon smiled and threw the radio to the ground. There will be no more radio contact.

“Prepare to escape! ”

The teleporters you accompanied rush towards their respective handlers.

Those who had not yet been freed from Alpha's mental control were wandering around.

“Oops, oops. ”

When Alpha saw the scene, she shook her head excitedly.

“Looks like they're flying a ballistic missile this way. Well, you wouldn't expect that, would you? Then you saw me too easily. ”

Choi Jung-hoon distorted his face as he laughed.

“There's a difference between knowing and stopping. ”

“Oh, well... that's true. That's why... ”

Alpha scratches his cheek and opens his mouth with a big smile.

“Wouldn't you feel that chewy feeling at all? ”

It was that moment.

Pickup began to collapse as Chinese teleporters rushed to their assigned positions.

“Come on, come on! ”

There is a small hole in the glances of the fallen.

“Sniper……. ”

Jung-hoon, who knew the situation for a moment, shouted.

“Protect Jung Jeong-min! Surround them! Now! ”

I don't know what will happen if I lose the resolutions here.

Fortunately, Jung Hae Min is protecting Lee Hyuk's side, and others are surrounding Lee Hyuk's side, so all they had to do was protect their current position.

Choi Jung-hoon gritted his teeth.

“Well, I guess.... ”

He opened his mouth to say that Alpha was a little shy.

“It's true that there are people like Islamic principalists who claim that the use of modern weapons harms your identity as a competent person, but I am aware that means are good if the results are good… I don't mind using sniper rifles. So we've arranged it in advance. ”

“… you bastard! ”

“You can't talk like that. Wouldn't it be cheaper to drop a nuclear bomb and try to get out on your own? Wouldn't it at least be more dramatic if we turned it into ash together to show our willingness to defend the world? I don't know. If nuclear bombs fell so well that we could save the world now, wouldn't Choi Jung-hoon's name be in the history books? a warrior who saved the world. ”

Alpha chuckles and shakes his head.

“Of course, in today's world, it would be to conceal the fact that it happened. Isn't this the perfect situation to surround the entire country with a nuclear test? You will die trying to stop North Korea's nuclear test. I may be out of class, but I'm going to be a public figure. ”

“You speak well under the circumstances. ”

“Well, it doesn't feel urgent. ”

Alpha looks up at the sky.

“I don't know about America, but I think it's time to put a bullet in China or Russia……. Funny, if you had the courage to flip the switch so easily, the world would already be lost or destroyed. But if you look at it the other way around, because you can't push it properly when you have to push it, you're dragging it around, handing it over to the United States. Isn't that right, Mr. MacLaren? ”

Alpha giggles and smiles.

“It's been a long time since I've had a reunion. It's not polite to greet like this, is it? Let me hear your voice.”

Unfortunately, there was no one in their right mind who could give him the medium to talk to Christopher.

The surrounding situation was extremely disoriented by the actions of the collapsing teleporters and the mentally controlled.

“ICBMs are coming! We have to get out of here! ”

Attempts have been made to rectify the situation, but no one has made a mistake.

Choi Jung-hoon's face became irritated.

‘At this rate, it won't be easy. ’

The number of teleporters that have already been shot down has already surpassed half. That means half of them have to stay here.

South Korea, which had Jung Minh, could still escape to some extent, but even Jung Minh could not escape with the NDF.

Seo Ah-young chewed on Choi Jung-hoon.

“Let's get out of here. ”

“But……. ”

“People need to live. If we drop this bomb, we're all gonna die, right? ”

“That's right.”

“Let's not kill the tough guy. You can ask Hamin's sister to take the others and go back to Lee Hyuk and take the others again. ”

Choi Jung-hoon nodded.

Jung-min who heard the words next to him nodded with a straight face.

‘I want to escape Lee Hyuk first.... ’

The hole that pierced Lee Hyuk's chest was now somewhat filled because Kim Da-Som desperately treated it.

If you think rationally, you have to escape Lee Hyuk in first place. But there was no way for Jung-min to come back here.

“Sister! Hurry up! ”

“Got it!"

Jung Jeong-min got up and went to one side. Those who were reporting on Jung-min surrounded her and moved on.

“Sir, you should go. ”

“I'm staying. ”

“If you want to prepare for an incident, you need to leave now. ”

“Let's just get out of here. ”

“We don't have time to argue! You're not leaving right now? ”

Choi Jung-hoon was furious, and Seo Ah-young flinched and lowered her head.

“Okay."

“... I won't die in a place like this. So let's go. The longer I stall, the more likely I am to die. ”

“Got it!”

Seo Ah-young ran toward the chosen one.

Jung Hae-min activated the teleport, confirming that she held her hand by her side as well as Seo Ah Young.

“ ……. ”

Jung-min's eyes shook.

“Oh, no? ”

How so?

You hear a low voice.

“No, you can't. ”

The alpha flinches his fingers so tightly.

“I'm just saying, you're looking at me too easily. I've been planning and planning this for months now. We already know how you respond. And of course we did. Teleports are not available here. ”

Choi Jung-hoon's eyes trembled.

“Your weaknesses have always been that you think of your abilities as just fighting monsters. We've been preparing for war from the beginning. You will never reach us in terms of our abilities and the use of them. ”

“Is that why you want to die, you son of a bitch? ”

“Well, it's a little different. ”

The Alpha scratched his cheek and said,

“We don't want to die together right now. And we don't want to die together. Technically... I live, you die. But it's not a nuclear bomb. ”

Alpha's tone was full of conviction.

“It's a little strange to tell you to relax, but you're not going to die from a nuclear bomb. ”

Choi Jung-hoon couldn't understand Alpha's words.

What do you believe and say in a confident tone?

“McClaren seems to believe the nuke will blow if he says so. But unfortunately, that doesn't happen. I told you, we're already preparing for war. ”

“… a spy? ”

“No, no. We have a capability sensor, but we can't do that. It's a little analog. They're just occupying the launch site by force. I told you, more people are helping us than we thought. Where are they now? ”

Choi Jung-hoon didn't say anything.

I realized that Alpha had been creating this moment for a really long time.

I thought I knew why Christopher McClaren was so obsessed with Alpha that he was a first-rate danger.

If Lee Hyuk was a landmine, this human was like a precision bomb.

“So there won't be as many rounds fired as I thought. And a few nuclear warheads... Well, I'm sure it'll hold, right? ”

“... Are you telling me that's how powerful you are? ”

“No, no. No.”

Alpha chuckles and says.

“Jung-hoon Choi doesn't seem to know what the door means. ”

“… What? ”

“By door, I mean connecting one side to the other. not just there, but the world is assimilated. If the door opens here, you think all the Horses will come out of here, but this is like a key. where it connects. And what happens when this place is connected……. ”

At that moment, the gate, which was creating resonance behind Alpha's back, slowly swells up.

Then he began to darken the world.

“This place is going to be a landmark. Right here.Hahahahahahahaha! ”

Alpha starts blasting photons.

However, Choi Jung-hoon's ears did not hear the laughter.

The earth is bitten black and brown.

The sky is covered in dark blue.

The moon is red...

The stars in the sky......

"Star"?

Something shiny approaches them. At incredible speeds.

Choi Jung-hoon, who instinctively knew what it was, shouted with a blue bored face.

“Pa, we have to get out! Over here!”

ICBM is dropping.

However, there is no way out of this unless you can make a teleport.

The moment Choi Jung-hoon felt the last, he heard a low, eerie voice.

“Humans are quite amusing. The same in this world or verav. ”

I couldn't understand what he was saying.

It was a language I'd never heard before.

However, Choi Jung-hoon was able to intuit. I've already felt this enormous, breathtaking existence just by being by my side.

‘The Demon King.’

Another unknown Demon King was smiling up at the sky.
