The Returner
[423] 5. Let me meet Lee Hyuk (3)
“What can I do if I meet Lee Ji-hyuk now? ”
Song Jong-soo grinned.
“A drowning man has to catch a straw. ”
“However…. ”
“And…. ”
After Song Jung-soo blurred the end of the horse, he slightly stuffed the half-eaten coffee on the table.
“Lee Hyuk has lost his strength, but Lee Hyuk's value is still immeasurable. ”
“Are you going to do the same thing in America? ”
Yoon Young-min's voice was sharp. The horse seemed to be reluctant to use Lee Ji-hyuk in a bad way.
‘It's not the president. ’
Ironically, Yoon Young-min surrounds the shell of a violent faction, but he is not naturally violent. Rather, it was impossible to understand why someone like this made such a violent speech all day long.
That's why it's murder to be elected.
“I have no intention, no skill. If it were America, what would we gain by investigating Lee Ji-hyuk? You know, unfortunately, the technology in the Republic of Korea has not reached that level. ”
Yoon Young-min nodded with a shivering face. It was a fact I had to admit.
“The most important thing in modern society is information. And Lee Hyuk is the most informed person in the world about the machinery and the secondaries. If there is a breakthrough, it is likely to come from the knowledge Lee Yi Hyuk knows. ”
“But if you knew that, you would have told us already. You're not bad enough to have to hide that from us. ”
“The person holding the treasure may not know its value. It's important to call in experts from all walks of life to see if Lee Hyuk has the information we need. ”
“Mmmm... ”
Yoon Young-min nodded heavily.
Honestly, I don't think it's going to help, but right now, we need to get rid of her.
‘I don't have anything else to do. ’
Yoon Young-min laughed helplessly.
Recovery work is a mess, but it's already left their hands. And at this point, we couldn't have planned anything more than cleaning up the area that was destroyed.
If another Demon King appeared on top of a newly built building, it could result in a massive budget loss.
‘I've completely lost control. ’
The biggest problem with humanity today was that it was impossible to strike first. I was putting all the power I had into dealing with the Demon Prince army that was being pushed out.
So either a direct attack on the Magic System through the spots, or the duc couldn't even attempt to destroy the gate itself.
“... At this rate, we will be pushed, pushed, and ultimately defeated." ”
“Everyone knows that. But they're just not finding a way. ”
“Mmmm... ”
Yoon Young-min gave a heavy murmur.
“A new trial is still underway. And that's part of China's endeavor. ”
“... that kind of crazy nonsense. ”
Song Jung-soo shakes his head quietly.
“It's not just that. ”
“Yes?”
“At this rate, we will eventually be pushed and pushed, leaving us with nothing but defeat. We have to do everything we can. Even if you lose half of China's territory instead of cleaning up a single spot, it's a gain. because that's how humanity's going to survive. If only I could succeed……. ”
Instead of talking, Song Jung-soo laughed low.
“Of course, it's possible because it's China. because it doesn't value its citizens as much as it does its national power. We couldn't even try, even if we were in the same situation. ”
“I agree."
Yoon Young-min and Song Jeong-su looked at each other heavily.
‘Every time there's a crisis, I think about it. ’
Democracy is the most rational, but not always the most efficient, political system. In normal times, a perfect political system, democracy, becomes an emergency, a rapid decision making and an obstacle to bold choices.
Of course, even if I could think, I couldn't get it out of my mouth. Song Jeongsoo asked me to take out a cigarette and feel frustrated by biting.
“So what is Lee Hyuk doing right now? ”
“Well? Well, maybe……. ”
Given Lee Hyuk's style, Song Jung-soo gave the best answer he could.
“He's probably just playing a game. ”
* * *
“… Can't we just go play a game? ”
“Yes, I can't. ”
“Why! If I'm a free man, why do you want to stop me from going to the games on my own? ”
“Let's just play games in the house like that, and then people become sociable. ”
“We chat and chat all the time in the game. They talk to each other these days. ”
Half is insulting.
I have now been able to filter the insult from my ears and listen to how much I have been insulted.
“I'm hungry. Buy me some rice. ”
“Hnng.”
Lee Hyuk sighed as he saw Kim Da-Som hanging on his shoulder.
Seeing that Kim Da-hyun was on his way out to work on his own terms, it was best to date Kim Da-som at least until the end of his working hours.
‘It's a hundred times better than wasting time on that construction site. ’
I ran away after throwing Choi Jung-hoon who said no to the end.
The problem is...
“Hey! Can't you get away? Why are you hanging on to someone's arm? ”
“My arm? It's not even your arm. ”
“It's not my arm, but it's not yours. Don't you want to fall?”
“That's my heart. ”
There's one more hump.
Lee Hyuk sighed deeply as he saw Kim Da-som and Jeong-min who was struggling.
‘Children, the world is coming to an end. ’
Humans in this world may never know.
At the same time that Lee Hyuk appeared, people from Beraf rushed into the exhibition system at the same time, saying that they would stop him with one body without children or women.
In Lee Hyuk's view, it was very absurd, but they stood in front of their bodies as if it was their only hope for the future.
At that time, it felt like a firefly, but it was also frustrating to see the completely opposite result on earth.
“… Aren't you worried? ”
“What?”
“The Demon Prince is invading. ”
“I'm worried.”
Jung Jeong-min smiled and said.
“But what difference does it make if I'm worried? If there was anything different about being restless, I'd be running around in my lap right now. But that's not it. ”
“Mmmm... ”
“What are we going to do? What are we going to do? If this is some kind of nuclear explosion, I'm going to go inside the bomb shelter, and if it's some kind of war, I'm going to listen to the guns.We just have to wait for the Demon Kings who may come at random, but we have to be prepared to be less shaky, but we have to be prepared as usual. ”
You're right...
The problem is that whoever hears it is true.
“So let's just keep it casual. There are some rumors that the power plant is running low right now, so there's a good chance we won't be able to do this in a while. Enjoy it while you can. ”
“Mmmm... ”
It was Lee Hyuk who realized why he could not beat women.
“So what are we going to eat? ”
“Shhh.”
With an infinite amount of time and a body that is regenerated forever, even Lee Hyuk, who had ascended to the extreme of sublime tranquility, could not be defeated by them.
"What's so different about me? ’
It wasn't something I didn't want to see move motivated, but it was also true that there was nothing I could do until the alpha side was ready.
Now, with the exception of countries on the front line, so the United States, China and Europe, everyone was sucking their fingers, much like Lee Hyuk.
I wanted to give as much support as possible to prevent the aftermath from going to my home country. Everyone would feel the same, but the support was ambiguous.
Sending troops was robbing me, and even the talents were not making much effort in front of the Demon King and the Demon Prince.
Support was also passive because everyone knew that providing support would have no more meaning than putting their troops under bullets.
“I'd like to ask you again. ”
“What?”
Lee Hyuk tilted his head in Jung Jeong-min's question.
“Are you sure you have to do this? What we're putting our hands on right now is that we don't know how to attack the Demon Kings in cold blood. ”
“Well……. ”
“If only we knew how to defeat the Demon King, we wouldn't be standing around like this. I will do my best to defeat the Demon King. But you're the only one who knows how to defeat the Demon King at this point. ”
“It's simple. ”
Lee Hyuk replied profusely.
“It's not like they're radioactive or poisonous, it's just a creature. What else could it be? You just have to take it with more force and press it to kill it. ”
“That's not why I can't do it! ”
Jung-min's voice is loud! I yelled.
“I wouldn't worry if I could get stronger. It's natural that the Demon King is stronger than us.Where can he get more power? ”
“You know what?”
“Huh?"
“Even the Demon King isn't as strong as you think. There are a lot of kids who aren't as good at their claws as I was in my prime. ”
“…… what does that mean? ”
The only thing worse than the claws of those claws are the living people.
“Humanity has already surpassed the Demon King in terms of its destructiveness. Even if the Demon King is strong, can one attack destroy a nuclear weapon? If that were the case, Earth wouldn't even be here. With a firepower aspect, there's no place on Earth that can surpass me in any dimension. ”
“Then why can't you defeat the Demon King? ”
“Because it doesn't fit. ”
Lee Hyuk grudgingly said.
“You have a nuclear punch, and it's so slow that it doesn't mean anything if you don't hit it. That's exactly what humanity is now. I have the power to destroy it, but there's no way to pin it on the Demon King. ”
“All you have to do is hit it? ”
“There are challenges with breaking through magic defenses, but no matter how hard you hit a shield, it's definitely hard to hit a high-energy reaction with your bare body. There's gonna be a hit, and there's gonna be a hit. If we can make good use of humanity's nuclear weapons, it's not unlikely... ”
It was that moment.
Ewwwww!
The sirens are ringing all over the place, and the evacuation signal begins to appear.
“Looks like you're getting started. ”
Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue and said.
“But if you waste those precious weapons like that, you lose the possibility of even one word. ”
Lee Hyuk looked down on the west. Jung Hae Min and Kim Da-Som were only keeping their eyes open because they didn't know what was in English.
