The Returner

[454] 1. OK, let's get started (4)

The man laughed at the swearing speech heard from behind his back.

“Ha, fuck. ”

Anyway, when the world went crazy, people went crazy. Obviously, it was an insult to himself.

“I'm just trying to kill my temper and make people crazy. Son of a bitch!”

The man turns around and notices his anger freezing in an instant.

“It's me."

“Phew……. ”

There, turning your head, stands a man with more than one headache.

‘I'm 180... ’

Then why can't you see your face? Why can't you see your chin?

Are you a basketball player?

But just being a basketball player, I couldn't explain my shoulders and strong arms and legs. It was like a woman's waist with a strong forearm.

Is that a person?

It was clear that he was not an ordinary person.

There…….

“I'm sorry."

I apologized before we even had a conversation. I can't help it. I can't help but apologize when I see that man's face. I don't know what happened, but I'm sure I was wrong.

Please let me apologize.

The man who suddenly received an apology, even Lee Hyuk, an Impressionist high school student, distorted his face.

“Mister.”

“Yes?”

“Do you have two bones? ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

“Did you keep one thing separate for the broken? ”

“…… normal people can't do that. ”

“Then why are you so close? ”

The man became a gentle sheep with a gentle smile.

Oh, I was close. Don't get too close again.

I don't know, but if this guy's close, I think he's close. If I said no, my bones would snap.

“Mister.”

“Yes.”

“No matter how urgent and annoying things get, you have to act like a person. Aren't you?”

“Yes, that's right. ”

“Get behind me before you get beat up. ”

“… Behind? ”

“Why? Send me upstairs? ”

There was nothing above my head. All that exists is the sky. The living can't go to heaven, so I don't know what that means.

“No. I'll take the back. ”

“Tsk.”

The prostitute who had driven out the scoundrel stroked the back of Choi Wisdom who was crying.

“It's okay, it's okay. My brother solved it.”

However, Ji-hye, who saw the face of the Chang 'an, burst into tears. It was the greatest thing about being able to make even middle school students cry on their faces.

“…… damn. ”

It's the best ceremony I've ever had a bad feeling about, but there's a minimum protection for a child. Middle school students, it was not enough to be angry with the rest of my life.

‘If Ji-hyuk finds out later, he'll be beaten to death. ’

In such a strange part, it was a thorough Lee Yi Hyuk. I don't think he's bothering anyone.

“You're not a bad person. ”

“He's not your brother. It's you.”

“ ……. ”

The ChongChang ceremony began to seriously worry.

Maybe I'll just get beat up later? ’

Wouldn't it be better for him to be angry here because he might die before he meets Lee Hyuk or Lee Hyuk might die?

Choi Hyuk's mother bowed her elongated head to Choi Chang Ceremony who was worried.

“Thank you, thank you. ”

“No, well…. ”

Choi Chang's ceremony scratched the back of his head, smiling heavily.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say thank you. I sometimes heard it when I gave cigarettes to my subordinates or borrowed some allowance from the kids who passed by, but I didn't mean it.

‘I don't feel bad about this either. ’

I thought it was crazy that Lee Ji-hyuk's filthy personality was helping people while resolving the gate situation, but I felt a little bit like I knew why Lee Ji-hyuk was doing it.

Of course, it has nothing to do with what Lee Hyuk is doing.

“Be careful. Get in line. ”

“Is it going to be okay?"

“Yes?”

“Are we... are we all going to be okay? I heard monsters just came in. ”

The ceremony scratched my head.

Why do they ask themselves this?

You don't ask because you think you know something. You just can't take it without asking someone.

It's not like we're at war.

Unlike a war that could evade an attack in the name of a civilian, this was a battle where humans and horses had to end up extinct. There are no exceptions.

It's a terrible fight, which decides who stands at the end.

“I honestly don't know……. ”

He shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Have a good run. ”

“Yes?”

“Dodge well, run well, and stay alive until the end. Then we'll win in the end. It will be peaceful then. ”

“We won? ”

“Yes, people win. ”

“How? They're all running away. ”

Choi Chang Ceremony smiled.

“It is now, but it will be different in the future. I know a man who never loses. ”

“Yes?”

When Mother was confused, Ji-hye asked me instead.

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“Well, what do you mean…. ”

Choi Chang Ceremony opened her mouth while thinking about it.

“There are some morons in the world. ”

“…… Yes. ”

“But one of them is the right kind of crazy. I mean, I used to play the game, and that crazy guy across the street came at me. As a game, of course.”

“Yes.”

“Did you win a hundred games? And yet, he went all the way to the end, and in the end, he won. ”

“Yes.”

“Do you know what he did next? ”

“…… No. ”

“I turned it off, and I threw it up. ”

The child looked at the ceremony with a vague face.

“I thought I'd lose again, so I ended up winning the last one. The arcade guy is chasing me like crazy, but he smiles and runs away. ”

“He's crazy.”

“Yeah, he's crazy. But that maniac is fighting the horses right now. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm going to win somehow. And I'm going to end up winning somehow. That's the kind of man he is. ”

Choi Ji-hye nodded quietly. Then the ceremony swirled and laughed. The smiling face was also scary, but it seemed less scary than before.

“Here comes the bus. Should we get in there?”

“Yes.”

The ceremony pushed those who were blocking the way and led the mother to the front. The highest ceremony, which even the two of them saw getting on the bus, quietly stepped back and returned to their seat.

I reached out the window and waved my hands at the child waving, looking up at the distant sky.

“So do something, Ji-hyuk. ”

His voice was empty somehow.

* * *

“… fuck. ”

I was insulted by Lee Hyuk's mouth.

The last challenger never got up. Among the twenty-eight, only 1800 people survived.

“I can't help it. ”

Alpha comforted me with her natural face, but Lee Hyuk was not in the mood to listen to her.

“Get lost.”

“Calm down.”

“Damn it.”

It was said to have been an accident to do well, but it was the same as killing two hundred people with his hands in a few days. There was no excuse to deny it.

“I honestly don't get it. ”

Lee Hyuk looked back at Alpha with ferocious eyes.

“When I heard the story, Lee Ji-hyuk committed a laughable massacre of hundreds of thousands of units in the other world. Compared to that, there's only a handful of people who died here.What are you so angry about? ”

“ ……. ”

“Admit it. You are a villain and a murderer who will never be seen again in human history. I'm a little embarrassed, to be honest with you. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

Lee Hyuk sighed.

I'm not wrong.

At Derra Latrell, he could have killed half a million people in a single blow. Now, however, we should not pretend that 200 people were stabbed in the heart because they died by his hand.

It's a sham.

Lee Hyuk tried to convince himself, but Choi Jung-hoon didn't think so.

“Is killing a million enemies the same as killing a hundred friends? ”

“... He's the same man anyway? ”

“Humans aren't dead... colleagues are. You're a psychopath because you don't understand it, you idiot! ”

Choi Jung-hoon's last words were always cold. Even the alpha waves slightly backwards.

“Whoa, take it easy. I didn't want to argue. ”

Alpha felt the need to switch topics.

“What should we do now? ”

“ ……. ”

“The rest of you are used to Mana now. So now I have to learn magic, or do I have to memorize a theory? ”

Lee Hyuk looked at those who were plotting.

Everyone was staring at Lee Hyuk with a face of hatred. I understood the glucose, but I could never forget the pain. Are people with peaceful faces like NDF?

However, there was nervousness on the faces of the NDFs instead of hatred.

I was also nervous at the tone of Alpha's voice.

He also knows that it took him longer than he thought to feel Mana.

However, Lee Hyuk was born.

“Don't rush me. ”

It was definitely relaxed compared to a moment ago.

“There's nothing to do now. ”

“I can't believe you're so busy with people dying at this point. I think I know Lee Ji-hyuk now. ”

“The sun rises from the west tomorrow, worrying you might die. ”

Lee Hyuk waved his hand.

A huge gate appears in front of the Alpha.

“… a gate? ”

“I have all the time in the world. There's plenty more now. ”

Lee Hyuk clenched his fist tightly.

“I'll train you in hell. So don't worry. Because there's still so much time left for you to curl up in pain. ”

“… are there different time slots? ”

“I know. ”

“Then why didn't you use it in the first place? ”

Lee Hyuk shook his hand.

“Funnily enough, this world is the world's most abundant city. As I connect to the dense land of Mana, this is the report of Mana surpassing even the best magical continent I know. ”

Alpha nods slowly.

It makes sense.

“If you can't do it here, you can't do it anywhere." No matter how much time passes. ”

“Bingo.”

Lee Hyuk sighed.

“It took longer than I thought, but this is a safe. It's time to get to the point. ”

Lee Hyuk pointed to the gate.

“An interpreter.”

“Yes.”

Lee Hyuk, who took a deep breath once, began shouting.

“Get in here! If you go in there, there's another world! Maybe half of them will make it back from there! And when we get out of here, ”

Lee Hyuk said a few moments later.

“You will have the power to kill me. ”

I didn't need to say anything else.

One by one, you start walking into the gate.

The Alpha whispered to Lee Hyuk who was watching the scene.

“You're not actually going in because you want to kill Lee Hyuk. Please know that.”

“... Thank you so much. ”

Lee Hyuk's eyes, looking at those heading to a new dimension, were cooling down.
