The Returner - Chapter 25

– Shouldn’t we go?

Lee Hyuk, who had been urgently imprisoned in a KSF prison cell, was lying in bed peacefully.

It’s a shame you don’t have a computer, but Bob was delicious and nagging.

In addition, there was a luxurious TV in the confinement position!

It was very unfortunate that the channel could not be turned over, and even more unfortunately, it was within the scope of understanding, even though the news only continued to appear on TV.

It’s because I realized that news is even funnier than talent.

The only regret is that the wall is made of reinforced glass, so it takes a lot of damage to my privacy. However, I didn’t need any privacy for Lee Hyuk, who was the only one who was lying on the bed.

But you covered the bathroom to see if you had a conscience.

I thought all kinds of interrogations would continue as soon as I got caught, but he was unexpectedly neglected for three days.

Monsters wouldn’t have been completely overwhelmed at the time they were dragged in, and there would have been postmortem problems. It’s understandable that he was pushed back.

However.

“Am I just forgotten? ’

Aren’t you forgetting?

Well, that’s okay.

Lee Hyuk took out his phone and went to a novel site as soon as he got tired of TV.

“Huh?”

Can’t pay?

You mean we’re out of money in the bank account already?

Lee Hyuk lowered his screen and made a phone call to find the call list.

“Mom!”

– Ji-hyuk, are you okay?

“Yes. Nothing happened? I think this one’s called KSF. ”

– I heard from the people who took you. They say it’s no big deal. You’re not guilty of anything, are you?

“What a sin. I’m just gonna take some research and get out. ”

– It’s not true, is it?

“I said no!”

– You ignorant bastard! Then we’ll be in touch! Do I have to watch her explode? You had a cell phone, and now you’re calling me?

And then…

“Oh, Mom, I’m sorry. I was embarrassed. I didn’t think of that. ”

Of course you’re lying. Don’t panic.

– Are you sure everything’s okay? Did you get hit or something?

“Am I a faggot? Are you sure you want to do this? Don’t worry, everything’s fine. ”

– Yes, my baby.

“But, Mom, I don’t have any money in my account, so I can’t pay for my phone. Just send 10,000 won to the account. ”

– “Call me in three days” means “give me money”? You ignorant bastard! I’m gonna explode! I’m gonna explode!

When the nagging started, Lee Hyuk silently hung up his phone.

“No, you don’t have to let me go. ”

-… I’ll put 50,000 won in, so if you can buy something to eat. When are you gonna send me home?

“Well, it won’t take long. Maybe.”

– Make sure to eat all the rice.

“Okay, Mom. ”

Lee Hyuk hung up on his bed after finishing the call.

“I guess the world has changed a lot. ”

Five years ago, my mother would have listened to KSF’s complaint that this had happened, and she would have wandered the streets asking why she was holding my innocent child prisoner.

The power of the government is overwhelming compared to the past.

“Hey, mister. ”

Lee Hyuk called for an agent blocking the entrance.

“Yes?”

The agent replies with a shaky face.

Original prisoner (?) It was forbidden to talk to Lee Hyuk, but he was not arrested because he was convicted or because he did not receive a response code.

“What’s for dinner? ”

“Dinner is sausage and fried vegetables and kimchi stew. ”

“Wow, you know all that? ”

“I told you to memorize it…. ”

“Ah……. ”

Lee Hyuk stole the black eye area.

The absurdity in the military is happening at work as well. This chain of nonsense always ends. Of course I didn’t go to the army.

“I’m sorry, I need to talk to you about more food. It’s delicious, but I don’t know why they give it so much as a rat’s tail. Running low on budget?”

“… I’ll tell him. ”

Unfortunately, there was no way to confirm whether the message had been delivered or not.

Before it was time for dinner, Lee Hyuk was transferred to the interrogation room.

I looked out in a transparent glass chamber and saw dozens armed with rifles firing their enemies at one another.

However, Lee Hyuk was born.

He should not have the confidence that he was particularly strong or that he could cripple everyone outside.

I’m just used to it.

To him, the left hand of destruction, it was common practice for humans to stare at him with hostility.

I even felt a little fragrance.

Seo Ah-young opened her mouth with a cold sunken voice, because Lee Hyuk’s attitude was unfair.

“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Yes.”

“What the hell are you? ”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. ”

It’s like this again.

“You’re capable, aren’t you?”

“You measured it. ”

“The common man fought the Codiac Monkey and won? ”

“You don’t think regular people can beat monsters? What do we do if it’s illegal? ”

“No…! ”

Choi Jung-hoon slapped Seo Ah-young’s arm. It means, “Don’t get excited.” Seo Ah-young sighed and stepped back as promised. Then Choi Jung-hoon smiled and sat down.

“I’ve seen you many times. ”

“Don’t you think that’s a good idea? ”

“That’s how it works at work. You understand there’s no hard feelings, right? ”

“I’ll believe that lie. ”

Choi Jung-hoon glanced at the man in front of him.

The answer was stiff and full of lies, but at least it was clear that there were no enemies.

No, technically, it’s hard to find someone as cooperative as the one who entered this interrogation room.

‘If you remove that stiff attitude. ’

There is no need for meaningless modifiers in conversations with this person. precisely excluded. That modifier is making me feel bad and frustrated.

“It doesn’t matter whether you are or not. According to our judgment, Lee Ji-hyuk has skills equivalent to at least Grade 3. ”

“Legally?”

“No, it’s just our judgment. If you go to the law, it’s going to be complicated. It’s hard to prove.”

Even if the actual combat scenes were presented as evidence screens, it was not easy to prove that the difference between a competent and an incapable was aerodynamic.

Even if it could be proven, it was a failure to bring people into legal proceedings in that way. I will never cooperate.

I don’t have to say it.

“So?”

Choi Jung-hoon immediately got to the point.

“Won’t you work with us? ”

“Tsk?”

“Faye’s doing better than I thought. And benefits are great. It benefits you as well as your family. Especially Lee Hyuk is in a very good position, where he has less obligation than he has right to enjoy. I don’t think that’s a bad offer. ”

Lee Hyuk patted his cheek as if he was thinking.

“What’s your occupation?”

“What exactly are you talking about? ”

“What should I do when I join? ”

“Of course you’ll be on the front lines. Aren’t you the right guy? ”

Lee Hyuk grinned.

“I won’t do it. ”

“Yes?”

“Ah, battle. I’m trembling. How do I fight monsters again? My heart is still racing like this. ”

‘It was a fish that met the water. ’

There were many words to say, but luckily, Choi Jung-hoon was an adult who could distinguish between what he had to say and what he wanted to say.

“Combat isn’t necessarily dangerous. ”

“It’s not dangerous to fight monsters? ”

“That……. ”

“No, why? Why don’t you say the battlefield is peaceful? ”

“It’s true that there are some risks, but there are benefits, so a lot of talented people work for KSF, right? ”

“If you don’t belong, you don’t go to jail? ”

“… Not necessarily. ”

But I can’t deny it.

Choi Jung-hoon suppressed the stabbing conscience. He is a social worker, a member of the company and an organization.

More or less a lie to revive the organization!

“Isn’t that a waste of your ability to just spend time and live? ”

“No?”

Wow, this is power too.

How can four-syllables annoy people? It’s not an insult.

“If you belong to KSF, the benefits are……. ”

“No, what’s the point of all these benefits after you die? ”

“I don’t think you need to be so pessimistic. because the death rate of our agents is lower than the death rate of a car accident. ”

“That’s a great place to work, and there are a lot of people who would like to do that. You don’t have to pry me into raising the competition, do you? ”

‘Hnng.’

Where have you been practicing your teeth since you were born? You don’t say a word.

Choi Jung-hoon took out the card of the spleen.

“Have you been to the army? ”

“No.”

“Oh, you’ll be joining the army soon, then. ”

“I’m not going to the army because I’m a middleman. ”

“Hahahaha, you’ve been missing for a long time. The law changed recently by going to the middle school military. No, but then the law would have changed before he went missing. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled in repentance.

It’s a recognition that a man doesn’t want to go to the army even if he dies. Some people used to be treated by society or try to cover up the army for personal pride, but the situation changed as monsters appeared.

Since the army was able to mobilize for free anytime, anyplace in a hurry, the borrowing grew rapidly, and it was no longer an army that could be safely happy as before.

Thanks to this, the current evacuation rate was at its peak.

Joining KSF will be a huge charm for Lee Hyuk to not have to go to the military. Then we can tie it to an excuse.

However, Lee Hyuk insisted.

“Then let’s go. ”

“Yes?”

“Shouldn’t we just go? ”

“No! Why are you going to the army? ”

The eyes of Seo Camp sank, watching Choi Jung-hoon who had no idea who he was.

“Well, that’s in two years. ”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon’s attack was not bad.

Unfortunately, Lee Hyuk was attacked by a veteran soldier who lived in the military for more than 50 years. It was 50 years, apart from the time he commanded the army as the throne of destruction.

Compared to Beraf’s army, where all the inconvenience and misery that can be imagined coexist, the ROK’s military is just a training assembly.

I give you food, I put you to sleep, I give you exercise.

You even surprised me and gave me a game machine. What kind of army is that?

An army for a living!

You have to be used to distinguishing whether you can be thrown into a wooden scabbard with a shotgun, or march ten days without supplies and eat the weeds on the floor.

It was just a letter to Lee Hyuk, who had experienced climbing from the bottom of the floor in such a veraph’s army, such as the Korean military.

Seo Ah-young’s gaze pierced into Choi Jeong-hoon’s back.

It’s cold.

A splash of water flies through the back plate.

Choi Jung-hoon let out a cold sweat while feeling that clear look.

If you knew this, you shouldn’t have said anything.

Seo Ah-young took out her hand when things didn’t go well.

“If you keep doing this, you could end up in prison for evasion. ”

“Is that another threat? Nothing’s changed, huh? ”

“That was a threat. But it’s different now. Even if the judges see the holes in their eyes, they will never judge you as ordinary if you saw what you did three days ago. ”

It was worth it.

Unlike the previous CCTV, the video that was shot this time will be too actionable.

“And you know in the first place, you’ve done serious damage to property this time, right? If it was hard, the whole department store would collapse. ”

“By the way, how’s he doing? ”

“… Of course. ”

Choi Jeong-hoon stole a few tears from my side.

Park Seong-Chan is still a human pillar surrounded by architectural engineers because he doesn’t know how to reinforce it because it’s unprecedented.

But there’s no need to bring this to light. The impression of the company will be bad.

“Prisoner…. ”

Lee Hyuk shrugged.

“Can I have 3: 00 meals? ”

“… That’s it. ”

“Then let’s go for a ride. ”

“Yes?”

“Prison is a place where you don’t eat, exercise, put to sleep and bathe like an army. Come to think of it, you’re better than the army. ”

Seo Ah-young quietly looked at Lee Hyuk.

I’d tell you not to be bluffing, but it feels weird. I think he really doesn’t mind going to jail.

Lee Hyuk snorted.

Prison?

What’s that?

Modern prisons are really scary. It’s not just rumors that Somali pirates are caught in Korea and said it’s too good to be in jail.

Three days in Velkatraz, the worst prison in Beraf, will make South Korea feel like a seven-star hotel suite.

‘I was locked up there for eight years. ’

It’s terrible to think about right now.

If the country had been destroyed and the prisoners had not escaped, it would have been possible for at least decades to continue living in a half-full prison without a single speck of light.

In fact, even eight years of incarceration was Velkatraz’s new record. No one had lasted two years before that.

“Hmm……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon changed the method.

“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Go ahead.”

“Let’s go upside down. What do you want from us? ”

“What does that mean? ”

“What conditions can we offer you? I think that’s enough to push and pull. ”

The Wheat Party…

These guys don’t get it.

“No, I don’t want to work. ”

“I can assure you, it will be much better than any other job you will find. ”

“No, I don’t want to do my job. ”

Lee Hyuk was lively.

“Life’s goal is to play and have a good time and then go. ”

“No, but the cost of living… ”

“My parents make a lot of money. ”

“You should be angry when you get married. ”

Lee Hyuk stared at Choi Jung-hoon with a stiff look as if he didn’t know what he was talking about.

“Oh, it’s not happening. ”

Choi Jung-hoon lost his words.

I don’t see a way to attack anymore. Impossible to convince.

If he was quick and calculating, I would bargain terms, but it was impossible to persuade the givers of life. It would be easier to convince the homeless than this one.

“Are you sure you don’t want to work with us? ”

Lee Hyuk smiled softly and nodded his head in Seo Ah-young’s question. I wanted to turn my mouth into a fist for how bright a smile was.

“What if I can’t guarantee that the terms we offer will be the same as they are now? ”

“Are you going to see him again? I’m sick of it.”

“… OK. Jung-hoon Choi, please escort him out. ”

“Is that all the way out?”

“I’ll find my own place now. ”

I didn’t find any words to argue with my lifeless voice.

Choi Jung-hoon escorted Lee Hyuk to the front door.

“I don’t want to see that anymore. ”

‘I agree with you. ’

I feel like I have to swallow my heart just by meeting this Human.

“Isn’t that what happens when you have a relationship? ”

Different from the outside is not a bad thing, at least for now.

“Of course.”

Choi Jung-hoon sighed as he watched Lee Hyuk’s back move away.

I keep getting weird relationships.

Moreover, I was worried because I knew that I would never give up because of Seo Ah-young’s nature.

“Ah!”

At that moment, Jung-hoon Choi, who remembered what was important, found Lee Hyuk, but he had already not seen Lee Hyuk.

“… I have to pay you back, man. ”

I can’t believe you’re so naturally swamped.

Choi Jung-hoon’s heart was as empty as an empty wallet.

“Gone?”

“Yes.”

Seo Ah-young gained and sharpened her teeth.

“I’m not going to watch him go to work. ”

“… No. Do you have to be so obsessed? ”

“You’re not asking because you don’t know, right? ”

You should know.

Previously, it was just the acquisition of unique abilities, but the battle with Codiac Monkey changed the situation.

For the ‘it’ they were planning, Lee Hyuk was also a necessary talent.

“But it won’t be easy. ”

cannot be bound by law.

It cannot be satisfied with the conditions.

But what can I do?

“There’s always a way. ”

“How?”

Seo Ah-young opened her eyes and scolded Choi Jung-hoon.

“Then Choi Jung-hoon should think about it. ”

Choi Jung-hoon’s shoulders sagged.

“But don’t worry too much. I did some research.”

Zec.

He appeared like a ghost behind Choi Jung-hoon’s back. Now it was Choi Jung-hoon who wasn’t surprised to see too much.

“What do you think?”

In response to Seo Ah-young’s question, Dogayun replied gracefully.

“Element overflow. There are also deadly factors. It’s not difficult.”

“Isn’t that right?”

Seo Ah-young waved her fist toward the air.

“Damn you! I’ll make sure you stand on your feet! Hohohohoho!”

“Ugly.”

Watching the two of them, Choi Jung-hoon put his hands in his arms.

Oops, you didn’t bring it today.

It was Choi Jeong-hoon, a sad worker, who is determined to come and get his resignation tomorrow and escape from this damn place.
