The Returner

“You refuse my offer? ”

“And you thought you'd get it? ”

“ ……. ”

Lee Hyuk glanced at Barbatch and raised his middle finger.

“What they usually do is they don't even eat honey, son. ”

“Clearly not. ”

“I hope you're a higher animal. Is that why you're breaking into a world with all these beautiful people who are doing well? Don't you think it's enough to pretend you're famous for harassing peaceful, well-living people? ”

Lee Hyuk pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and asked.

Lee Hyuk took a long sip of cigarettes and slowly spit out the smoke, saying with his eyes full of stripes.

“And if everything else is the same, I'll never see you wandering around the world, so if you want to negotiate, get the hell out of here and write. Where are you going with that face? You're wasting your time.”

“I can't find any reason. ”

Barbatch shakes his head.

“The idea of negotiating with you may have been reckless. You can't judge this situation rationally. ”

“I'm sorry for the lack of intelligence.... ”

Lee Hyuk glanced at the Demon Kings quietly and tilted his head.

“But you don't seem as intelligent as we are. ”

“... What are you talking about? ”

“No, veraph is the criterion that you think people are intelligent. But they don't usually learn, so people can't use their intelligence even if they have it. But this is the way. Basically, basic education.... ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

“On second thought, it really is. You guys are smart, right? I don't think you'd make a stupid offer like this if you were smart. ”

“That's enough. ”

Barbatch shakes his head.

“Negotiation seems meaningless. With you guys……. ”

“I think he's a fool, isn't he? ”

Kim Da Hyun hung up on Barbacce.

“Why?”

Kim Da-hyun snorted when Yoon Hyuk-gyu asked.

“No, if he were any smarter, he wouldn't want to negotiate with Lee Hyuk. You and I both know he boils green frogs and tells us what to do, but first he says no. ”

“… Yes. ”

“You usually can't do something without being stupid after you've agreed to negotiate with him first. Isn't that right?"

“I heard that it's a bit.... ”

Whether Kim Da-hyun's words were a crystal blow or not, the NDF all looked at Barbacce with their eyes, "That bastard, he might be a fool to know."

“These……. ”

Barbatch's face turns furious, but he can't refute it.

When I think about it, I realize that there is no way to negotiate properly because the object of the negotiation was Lee Hyuk.

“You annoy me to the end, Nineteenth Demon King. ”

“… What did he say? Shit.”

Seeing Barbatch as if Lee Hyuk was ridiculous, he said.

“Why are you yelling at someone after Ji Trolling? Blame it on someone else. You must never play games. You're like a hitchhiker. ”

Barbace stares at Lee Hyuk quietly.

“Speak freely. 'Cause that's the last thing you're gonna say in this world. ”

“Ah, yes. Stop with the typical lines, and come on. ”

“I was going to do it without saying it. ”

Barbace takes a step back, pointing fingers at Lee Yi Hyuk.

“Negotiations have been broken. Erase all human beings from this earth. ”

The Demon Kings begin to press on them, fearful of falling horses.

Seeing that scene, Lee Hyuk forcefully smoked a cigarette.

‘I don't know if you're doing well. ’

Barbacce was right.

Even if we defeat the Demon Kings here, humanity will still have a miserable life waiting for us. If so, it may be the way for humanity to stay in this situation.

Humans won't last long if things get any worse here.

Even if negotiations were to take place here, most humans would not know that they are being raised by the Horsemen.

What frustration will you feel in the fact that you don't know, and what irrationality will you feel? Perhaps the choice that Lee Hyuk has made now has taken away the way that so many human beings can live a hard life.

“Open your face. ”

Seo Ah-young said to Lee Hyuk in an annoying voice.

“What's wrong with my face? ”

“He pretends to be serious when you're bored these days. It doesn't suit you. Do it properly. ”

“Are you... picking on me right now? ”

Seo Ah Young snorted.

“Since when do you think and do things? Isn't it your style to think about what you're doing? ”

“Well……. ”

“For now, just do it. Well, if it doesn't work out for you, you can go to the afterlife and apologize. ”

“I tried my best, but it didn't work. Haha?”

“That's enough. ”

Seo Ah-young nodded.

“If you curse, you curse with me, and if you try to hit me, I'll fight with you. We know how much you've worked and struggled for humanity. No one in the world can blame you. So shoulders back. ”

Lee Hyuk distorted his face.

“It's usually a little narrow on the shoulders, so that's how it looks. I've been keeping an open mind for a while. ”

“I didn't know that.... ”

Lee Hyuk smiled as soon as Seo Ah-young tried to steal her eyes.

‘I never thought I'd be comforted by this woman in my life. ’

To be comforted by Seo Ah-young, who thought he was not Choi Jung-hoon or anyone else, but one of the most useless humans in the world.

It felt like something fun but pathetic to me. Lee Hyuk shrugged his shoulders and looked at Barbacce.

“There's a saying. ”

Choi Jung-hoon opened his mouth with a smile.

“Freedom comes with a price. ”

“‘Freedom is not free,’ is that correct? ”

“Something like that. But it's all about the will. Human history is like the process of fighting for freedom. Now we can't go back to a time when there was no freedom. Even if they don't touch humanity, it won't be any different than living in a world without air. Someday things are going to pop up, and they're just going to prolong their lives for a little while. ”

“Hmm……. ”

“So let's fight. Even if you die in a fight, there won't be many people to blame. ”

“... You mean we can fight, right? ”

“I……. ”

At that moment, Alpha raised his hand slightly.

“Why?”

“I don't think that's such a bad offer. Is there any way to take it now? ”

“He's so shy, he won't accept it anymore. ”

“Is that so?"

A frowning alpha shrugs.

“Well, I can't help it. We have no choice but to kill the Demon King or anything to keep him alive. ”

“... I'm running a second. ”

Lee Hyuk looked at the Alpha as if he were pathetic, then nodded.

“Well, okay. ”

No matter how they talked or negotiated, there would have been no result of Lee Hyuk bowing his head to them.

“I agree with that. ”

“About what? ”

“I'll kill you all. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“I've had a lot of old feelings in the past. I'm going to make the music go off in a very big way today. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled bitterly as he saw the approaching Demon Kings.

“… Is it a start? ”

Christopher unknowingly gathered his hands in front of his chest.

He doesn't have faith, but at this moment, he finds God without even knowing it.

When we couldn't overcome the situation without the help of supernatural forces because we were hopelessly matched, we were always looking for the existence of God.

“The Demon Lord approaches. ”

“What happened to the horses? ”

“The witches are not affiliated with the Demon Kings. He's constantly beating the army. M-3 is playing a role in stopping it.... ”

“No big damage, right? ”

“Yes, but the magic side is just keeping things going. It's hard to actively attack and reduce the number and support of agents. ”

“It's okay. I don't think I can help you if I have any power left." ”

“Yes.”

Ants get in the way of lions and lions, and the situation doesn't change. Even if it's an ant pack.

For the Demon Lords, ordinary armies and ordinary abilities are nothing better than ants. in that he can take his breath away in an instant if he wants to.

“This is the last time, really. ”

The final battle to decide the fate of mankind and the Demon King begins. Christopher pulled out his cigar to calm his crazy pounding heart.

Christopher, who tore out the front and lit the fire, sighed deeply.

“It happens all the time, but it doesn't make sense. ”

“What's that? ”

“Even in the war, the last battle to decide destiny was one that had nothing to do with me. Once the powerful took my role, now they're taking mine. ”

“Too bad. ”

“Too bad?”

“The efforts that have been made will be difficult to be judged fairly. ”

“Hehe hehe.”

Christopher smiles lightly.

‘You don't know. ’

It was from the mouth of an irresponsible person.

Those who do not stand on top, and those who do not feel the burden that their choices may change the fate of the world, see only glory.

However, he who stands there knows how painful it is to be responsible.

It was a blessing that I could entrust my destiny to others and pray comfortably. at least I won't be overwhelmed by the burden.

In that regard, Christopher mourned those who were on the screen.

It was understandable enough for those who waged the fate of humanity to suffer the enormous burden. I don't know, but I don't think there's anyone in disguise right now.

‘Nevertheless, I have no choice but to beg. ’

All that remains is prayer and support. Christopher closed his eyes.

I did everything I could.

So now we have to trust them.

“Director.”

“Why?”

“… you should take a look at this. ”

“Is there anything more important to this situation than me looking at that screen? ”

“I think so. ”

“Hmm?"

Christopher's eyes questioned the boy.

There's a battle to decide the fate of humankind, and there's more to it than that. I couldn't understand it.

But then I thought about it for a second.

The deputy glanced at Christopher's screen and his eyes burst open.

“Yi, what is this? ”

“We don't know what it is yet. ”

Christopher clenches his fist tightly.

Variables.

Variables were emerging.

‘I don't know if this is hope or despair. ’

Christopher bites the cigar tightly, thinking that maybe a new path of destiny was opened.
