The Returner

“Bullshit.”

Captain Kang Myung burst into laughter as he watched Choi Chang's ceremony leaving.

“How do I do that? ”

“What can I do? I hate him. What are you gonna do? Do you want to kidnap me?”

“That's an order from the top, though. How do you post a report that the party didn't like it when it was instructed by the blue house, not just the boss? ”

“No, you can kidnap him! ”

“ ……. ”

When the deputy officer with the busted chest went out to make contact, Captain Kang Myung burst a smile with a cigarette in his mouth.

“I thought I'd find my own way. ”

It's not like that.

His name smiled like a man who was mesmerized.

“There are all kinds of freaks in the world. ”

I took a punch, but it's been a long time since I've been hit like today.

It would break for the superiors, but I could get insulted as much as I wanted.

“Huh.”

He took out his cigarette and lit a fire in his mouth.

Is it because you're young? ’

If he was such a best-case scenario, would he be able to kick out so cool?

I couldn't be confident.

We don't know when the world will turn upside down. No, in a situation that's already turned upside down, who can insist on rejecting it if it guarantees its life to the end?

Moreover, if you are going to be protected as an acquaintance of Lee Hyuk on a U.S. military shelter, even if you don't know it, you will be able to guarantee ten times better lives than here.

And yet you put it all away neatly.

I didn't know if I was stupid or a father-in-law.

Is that what everyone around Lee Hyuk is like? ’

The deputy is inside.

“What did he say?”

“… then let it go. ”

“Huh?"

Aren't you giving up too cool to ask me to come here right now?

“What happened? ”

“There was a commotion at the top of the line right now, and this is an emergency, so I went straight to the prime minister's office. ”

“So?”

“The Prime Minister told me to leave it alone. It's on the list, but I can't help it. ”

“Geez.”

It's this way, that way, and it's clean enough to make teeth tremble.

“... He's right. ”

It's embarrassing.

It was not something I had to do to try to save a certain few people, each of whom was doing his best to survive.

They follow orders because they are not the president's or the prime minister's family, but if it were said to rob their acquaintances, they might have disobeyed.

“You're learning from the young one. ”

A cheerful smile emerged from his seat.

“Then I'll go do my job. ”

It was time to return to the front.

D +15.

“Mom, where am I? ”

Lee Ye-won grabbed her hand tightly. When she arrived on the teleporter, it was the first place she had seen her in her life.

“I don't know. Hold Mommy's hand. This could get ugly. ”

The nervous face of the mother grabs Lee Ye-won's hand and sweeps her back with her opposite hand.

“I think it's America. ”

“… I know that. ”

Kim Da-som was also apprehensive.

It was recently that a transfer order was issued to those at the Blue House bunker. There was no time to ask something properly, and Lee Hyuk's family and Kim Da-Som were moved to the United States neatly.

“More will come. ”

Someone from the government speaks, as if to reassure them.

“This is done at the request of the United States, not us. ”

“I get that, but why do we have to come this way? ”

Park Seon-Duk, Lee Hyuk's mother, still did not notice the boundaries.

Since the world turned upside down in one day and my son's wife couldn't get in touch well, it might be impossible to trust someone.

“This is safer than South Korea. ”

The answer came from beside me.

“Who?”

A good-looking white man approaches them.

As he approaches, smiles and speaks, the interpreter quickly begins to relay his message.

“It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Park Sun-duk. My name is Christopher McClaren. who invited you here. ”

“MacLaren?”

Park Seon-Duk tilted his head.

I think I've heard something.

“You wouldn't know. Lee Hyuk and I... ”

“Oh! Did anyone tell you they looked like Kentucky's grandfather? I cursed at Ji-hyuk. ”

Christopher looks at the translator. Then the interpreter smiled and said.

“Lee Hyuk usually praised me a lot. ”

“Hahaha, really? ”

The translator quietly shakes his head behind Christopher's delightful smile. When I did this, I sometimes had words I shouldn't preach.

“Why did you bring us here? ”

“That's what I said. This place is safer than South Korea. And the Republic of Korea doesn't have the capacity to care for you right now. And that's why it was forced to go this way. ”

“ ……. ”

Christopher raises his hands as he looks at her with suspicious eyes.

“No, Mrs. Park. ”

“Not what? ”

“We're not trying to use you. I know what you're thinking, but I want you to know that it's not. ”

However, Park Seon-Duk still did not clear his eyes of suspicion.

“You've heard of your son, right? ”

“I know you went to do something. ”

“When he came back, he didn't want to confront the situation where his mother and family were already dead. I want you to understand that this is not humanitarian behavior for you, it's for all of us. ”

“I'm not going to be a burden on my son. ”

“That's not going to happen. I promise you my name. ”

Park Seok-deok nods at Christopher's serious voice.

“And... actually, I don't have the power to do anything about you. ”

“Yes?”

“… is that dog Lee Hyuk's pet? ”

Christopher sees a cute puppy scratching her back neck at Lee Ye-won's feet.

“Yes. Do you even know a dog? ”

‘Dog……. ’

So, that's Ogre Lord.

That fluffy puppy can blow away all the people and abilities here in no time. And even as Christopher looked at it, Auger Road had never been away from Lee Hyuk's family.

‘There's no way that a prudent man wouldn't take action. ’

“And the turtle? ”

“… I don't know where he came from. ”

So, that's the Demon King, right?

Christopher sees a turtle relaxing in the sun next to a porridge, smiling in vain.

‘These two alone will exceed the power of a single nation. ’

If you think about it, it may be more than that. Now that the United States is doing everything in its power, we can't be sure that we can catch a Demon Lord for sure.

Even if Lee Hyuk has put some restrictions, even this Demon Lord alone could blow up half the United States.

You want me to play tricks on people this size? ’

Christopher once again thanked South Korea for declining his offer.

How did you know about the existence of the pentacle, but you missed the Demon King's existence. If they had been forced to take over Lee Ji-hyuk, the United States wouldn't exist now.

“We have a place to eat and rest inside. After a day's rest, you'll be transported to an underground shelter. ”

“Is that where you were the last time? ”

“You might have to stay for a long time, but it'll be a little worse than that. But it'll be safer than that. And more will come here in the future. ”

“More people? ”

“I would like to accept Lee Ji-hyuk as well as the families of those who went there. Not everyone can come back. ”

Christopher sighs low.

“I can't stay too busy for long. If you have any other questions, this person will be happy to explain. Sure."

Christopher, who pushed the deputy next to him, lowers his head and turns. Then I told the secretary who was following me.

“Look at all the conveniences. There must be no mistake. ”

“… in this emergency? ”

“Do you know what the worst part is? ”

“Aren't we all doomed? ”

“No!”

Christopher chewed it out.

“The worst-case scenario is that we have resolved this situation and sustained humanity, with Lee Yi Hyuk and me in the world. ”

“… Yes? ”

“But what do you think will happen if I don't take care of his family properly? Have you ever wondered what it means to hold a grudge against a man who is now a Mage, who has lost his mind, and has become peaceful? ”

“I haven't thought about it, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to imagine it. ”

“Glad you understand that. ”

Christopher said with a stiff face.

“Don't tell me to just look at it now. You need a future to have a present. ”

“… we'll make sure to take care of you. ”

Christopher nods and climbs into the car.

‘I wish there were circumstances that could be so insulting. ’

I had no choice but to hope he would return before it was too late.

D +25.

“What's the situation? ”

“… I can tell you are the worst. ”

Yoon Young-min and Song Jeong-su were reported with a stiff face.

“The Middle East has collapsed. ”

“… the Middle East? ”

Yoon Young-min tilted her head as if she was surprised.

I thought it would be the last if it collapsed. Unlike other important districts, the Middle East is clearly divided between countries and developed distances. Even if we wipe out a country completely, it's going to take time to get there.

“Why?”

“… I wanted to escape, and I quickly collapsed into a command system. If you ask," Is the Middle East still there? "If you ask," Is it worth it? "”

“You mean like China. ”

“China is better, at least. There are military bees.They 're fighting well right now. ”

“... That country isn't just any country. ”

They have been conquered if they are bored, conquered if they are bored, and have been fighting and fighting since the beginning of mankind.

Mosquitoes are commonly called continental weather, and they mock the behavior of the Chinese, but for now the continent's weather has been well exemplified.

The center collapsed, but each region was absorbing its own troops and building up defensive forces by gender. It is best to consider that it is not possible to respond immediately as directed by the territory and the centre.

“What about Europe? ”

When the word Europe came out, tension settled around me.

Everyone knows that things haven't been good in Europe lately.

“… they started falling down like dominoes. ”
