Auto Hunting

Knock-knock.

A small but obvious knock knocks at the door.

There was no answer on the inside.

Yooseong repeated the second knock.

And number three.

No answer this time.

“Well."

I can't help it.

After a short sigh, Yooseong turned around.

You know, when it comes to this kind of thing, if you don't like the opponent, you don't want to be forced into it.

Because it wasn't.

When I turned to the other side of the hall,

Choo-choo-choo

The visit was open.

Yooseong turned around.

I see a look in my eyes.

“....... ”

Short silence.

As always, it was Yooseong who opened his mouth first.

“May I come in? ”

“...! ”

The only thing that opens her eyes is the words, "May I come in?"

It was you.

Yooseong did not speak Korean.

I had a slow, slow-speaking Korean accent as bad as a parable... but it was definitely a parable.

This is a Mandarin pronunciation.

“When...”

“I practiced. Not as much as you. ”

It was natural to think about it.

He knows the nature of the meteor, and even if he knows he's working in China for a little while, he'll be ready.

No way.

Even as soon as we leave, we get an interpreter named Seo Yu, a gift from modern civilization (?) to do this

Thanks to your generosity, I only had a small chance to open my mouth.

Before I went to China,

There's a gap on the way.

Sometimes, for six months, I learned to hold myself together in a world beyond cracks.

The dragon was reclaimed.

But if you haven't been able to open your mouth with a sentence as clumsy as a parable,

“It's because of my personality. ”

He was as thick as ever.

Yooseong's eyes were facing the ground, not the rain.

“You're right. I say everything as if I knew it all. Understanding everything

I'm doing it, and everything is going exactly the way I want it to be... because the truth is... everything is scary.

Joe, I'm scared. ”

“Scary...? ”

His eyebrows went up.

What nonsense is this?

You call yourself a coward, Yooseong?

“I'm afraid of failing. ”

Yooseong's gaze was still facing the ground.

“Whether it's monsters or other adversities in life. When something came up to me, I thought,

I'm afraid I can't control it. Not taking responsibility, not responding appropriately

is powerless. So... I always commit to myself. You can't do that. ”

Of course.

Many people who know Yooseong may disagree.

Objectively speaking, Yooseong is not a coward.

Maybe this is the version of Yooseong himself that talks badly about human metaphor.

I don't know

Isn't everyone looking at themselves with a sad look?

“Do not fail. Always, I'm perfectly prepared for what's coming.

I have to. ”

It has been since before the beginning of the hunter's life.

The only place he can look is where his abilities are likely to reach. Whatever the means are.

Whatever it was, it was within his control and accountability.

In that sense,

Auto hunting was an appropriate blessing for Yooseong.

He opened up human possibilities.

“The reason I started hunting for the first time was by coincidence I didn't even think of. I still do.

But I was very happy. ”

By sharpening yourself, you can step into a wider world that you never dreamed you could.

Thing.

But the stronger you become, the stronger you become.

The bigger he plays, the more audiences he has.

The size and likelihood of failures that could be encountered also increased.

“You risk your life to catch monsters, to dive, and all of this was a scary problem in the first place.

cannot be. If I go wrong, I'm only responsible for my shortcomings. Failed

It can't be. ”

What he feared was another realm.

Things he can't take responsibility for.

See, e.g.,

He can't save lives on his own mission.

Betrayed the people who were counting on him and doing him a favor.

“or to do harm in any way to someone who has favors for me.

Me. ”

“....... ”

“I want to avoid the possibility of that happening. I'd rather not.

I'm going to be called a bastard, who makes and breaks up. He's such a coward.

“Yes.”

Press down from the inside of your throat and hold.

I barely got a lecture.

“I didn't know he was like this. If you knew...”

“You wouldn't have come all this way. ”

“...... Right. ”

My mouth and neck are hard to spit out words that aren't true.

Despair seemed to tear my heart out.

The reason why Yooseong chased after himself and knocked on the visit was simply to draw a clear line once more

It was for the sake of God.

“If only I had known you were this pathetic. I would have hated it from the start. Me, too.

And my father... ”

The man takes a step back, revealing his weakness and his inner self.

How to get close.

It was so sad that there was no possibility of narrowing the distance from the beginning.

“That's... ridiculous. I can't believe I almost fooled someone like this. Tue,

I was angry… ”

“I understand.”

I listened to him.

“No one likes a pathetic human being. ”

“No, you're right. ”

Keep your eyes down.

The smoke tightly grips the handle of the open door.

Cough-

No matter how hard the grip, the metal handle that couldn't overcome her grip vomited.

C.

Let's close the door.

I thought of the tragedy.

It's time to close the door and admit it.

You can bury yourself in bed, you can burst into tears, or you can swallow your emotions.

It's really over now.

So, um...

Close the door.

Let's get this guy's face out of my sight.

“I mean, you should probably go...”

With a smaller voice in between,

The latter closes the door with strength.

But why?

Tuk-

The door, which must have been closed for a long time, did not move as if it were stuck to something.

It was only until I looked up that she knew why.

Hands.

Yooseong's hand was blocking the door from closing.

Beyond the open door, I saw two eyes facing the smoke, not the floor.

“Why, why...”

“As I said, I may be a pathetic man. ”

The head of Yooseong was slightly tapered.

“But the thing about being a pathetic man is, they're all gross and shameless.

You will. ”

“......? ”

“For example… You're on your own at a late time, and I don't think this is a one-way street.

You show your face to a woman, and I tell you the truth,

I wonder if a woman would look at me differently. You think you're being unreasonable? ”

A mouthful of mouths opened.

“Funny, isn't it?"

The expression on his face was profound.

He seemed to be smiling lightly or shy.

It's the first time I've ever tried it.

It's a different kind of courage than I've ever had.

“But I haven't even apologized properly yet. And it has something to do with Mr. Lee.

I've never talked about it calmly or properly without it. If you don't mind... ”

Like Yooseong said,

This was not an attempt to accomplish his work or his goals.

Training or continuing in the hall at this time may be more helpful in the future

You will.

“Can I, can I go in the room? ”

But if we don't do this, he'll be lost.

They have already exercised enough courage.

A little bit.

It was time for Yooseong to have courage.

“....... ”

I haven't spoken in a while.

How much time has passed.

Her mouth narrows.

With the exception of meteors,

A small answer you wouldn't have heard if someone was in the hallway.

However,

Dark-

When you hear a close call.

There was no one in the hallway.

In a room where two men and women entered.

Only a small sound could be heard if you listened.

...

The next day, the Chongguk visited the embassy again. It was almost dawn.

Even the ambassador asked me to join him for breakfast, politely declined, and went to the basement.

I came straight down to Yooseong who was preparing for standing training.

“You're here early. ”

Before the two spearheads stood at the door, Yooseong, who guessed the visitor with his footsteps, turned his head.

And I saw the faces of both of them.

“Sir?"

I opened my eyes a little louder.

“Is something wrong? ”

“....... ”

The choir was breathing.

You put one hand on your chest, put it in the doorway, and let the sweat flow out.

“...... come running. Wait a minute."

I knew that Yooseong was not the only reason.

The embassy wasn't small enough for ordinary people to jump in...

‘Tired. ’

The Chong Guk was a mess of people who didn't sleep well.

There were dark circles beneath the eyes, and unshaven beards grew thick.

Even a dress that looks like it's been changed can't keep a parrot in place, so the tie knots are always loose.

It was broken.

Waiting for the chorus to catch his breath.

Yooseong was prepared for bad results.

I'm already aware that the diplomatic issue won't end so easily.

It was.

However,

“Fortunately, the matter of Yooseong's return won't be attractive for long. With the Foreign Ministry.

You, the Cheongwa University has been instructed to care thoroughly without incident. Dumar

Needless to say, the opinion is very favorable to Yooseong....... ”

“Something else is wrong. Is this about me? ”

“Maybe... not yet. ”

Spitting out ambiguous answers.

The Chong Guk approached Yooseong.

“Two days. Exactly 32 hours ago. Cracks in the mountains near Hwaseong, Gangwon Province

I was alive. ”

“Hwacheon... unarmed area? Did you have a problem with North Korea? ”

“I wish it had ended that way. ”

Yooseong decided to listen to the story.

“It was a typhoon fracture, and fortunately, it was a seamless blockade operation across North Korea.

and hunter deployments. The operation was successful without any problems.

I activated the pulse breaker and closed the crack... ”

At that moment,

An epiphany passed by his head.

I thought I knew what the problem was that it would look like.

“In six hours and 21 minutes. Cracks have been created in the same location. Get him at the observation deck.

They said the crack broke so fast they couldn't afford it. ”

“The size or shape of the crack...”

The brothel nods.

“Typhoon. It's a perfect match for the fracture. ”

Fortunately,

A few teams that didn't withdraw while waiting for another crack to break in the vicinity.

There were hunters left.

Thanks to their swift response, they can still kick back without any damage.

He was able to complete the mission.

“But two hours later, The crack reopened. And then... the pulse breaker goes off.

No, like the crack that Yooseong closed in Tokyo.... ”

“So it's still open? ”

Yooseong asked a question that knew the answer.

“Form a wide barrier line and intercept the waves from the hunters.

My wife is in the middle of something. Thanks to her, the manpower gap is out of the question, but not yet. Somehow.

I'm holding on. ”

But this suggested a much wider problem.

I was worried about Yooseong when he closed the crack in Tokyo.

The cracks that did not close with the pulse breaker were not one.

“If there is a first, and there is a second...”

Then there could be a third and a fourth, and then there could be a lot of cracks.

Or not.

“No, Mr. Yooseong. Wrong.”

“Yes?”

“Japan and we are not the first and the second. ”

I don't know how the information got out.

They tried to hide the fact that there was a crack that wouldn't close, but nowadays,

It's scary.

“Since yesterday, five countries have sent requests for information sharing to the Pentagon.

Y. I vaguely blurred the point, but I understand what's happening here. West

He said it would be helpful to share what he found. ”

Which means...

“An ‘unclosed crack' is an event that has already taken place in at least five countries.

But still, outside of the cracks in the suburbs that are so easily controlled,

is.... ”

“Not anymore. ”

Yooseong corrected the words of the Choir Kingdom.

The rift that occurred in the middle of Tokyo a few days ago has been reported by numerous witnesses and photographers around the world.

It's spreading.

Of course, most people who don't know the details say it's a crack that doesn't close.

It can't be that hard.

At best, they think the pulse breaker caused a malfunction.

“But you knew very well how few knew what was going on. The cracks in Tokyo won't close.

is a crack. ”

And then...

“You saw exactly who closed it. ”

“....... ”

A more distorted face in both sides of the country.

It was only then that I realized why Yooseong had even set up a silent spearhead and rushed to him.

C.

With "scissors," Yooseong didn't want to hide the existence of "thread."

A little exaggeration is just a means of closing the crack more comfortably.

It is the rightful property of.

But it was a lot bigger than he thought.

“You should be pleased... but I'm more worried right now, to be honest. ”

The words of both sides were rational.

It's good to have treasure.

But if the treasure is too valuable, sometimes it can be a disaster for those who possess it.

is to do.

Just like some fairy tales show.

“If such a rift ever arises, the burden on Mr. Yooseong's individual

It won't touch. Mr. Yooseong, why don't you stay here at the embassy for a while?

Rather, this place.... ”

“No.”

He shakes his head.

“You may rejoice purely. ”

Then I declare it decisively.

“This is my stuff. You will never be shaken or pressured for this.

Okay. "

Declare it so.

Yooseong immediately turned his feet.

There was absolutely no reason for him to hide.

I was getting tired of staying here.

The time has come to return.
