Episode 17 [You’re a Strange Person]
Gangnam on Saturday afternoon was very lively as always. The Gangnam Station hill road seen from the second floor of the cafe was no different.
Kyunghoon continued to watch people passing by while drinking coffee.
Kyunghoon’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the people. A cool-looking beautiful woman was coming up the street.
She didn’t wear much makeup and her clothes weren’t flashy, but she actually stood out among the gorgeous Gangnam won.
The woman coming this way was a woman Kyung-hoon knew.
Hye-rin, a researcher I saw a while ago. Kyung-hoon had promised to et her today.
‘You’re good at timing.’
Kyunghoon checked the ti and nodded. 10 minutes before the appointnt ti. My liking for Hyerin grew even more.
Hyerin ca near the cafe and looked around. It seed like I was looking for the cafe I had promised. And she went into the cafe opposite where Kyung-hoon was.
After entering the cafe, she sat deep inside the cafe and checked the ti.
Kyung-hoon sat there and watched the cafe Hye-rin entered.
The front window of the cafe was difficult to see through from the outside, but to Kyung-hoon, it was no different from regular glass.
Ti passed. The appointnt ti has passed.
Hyerin checked her watch again and tilted her head.
Kyung-hoon continued to sit there and looked at Hye-rin and the street.
30 minutes have passed. Hyerin picked up the phone. Soon, Kyunghoon’s cell phone started ringing.
Kyunghoon checked the distance one last ti.
High school girls on an outing with their sweet lovers. Classmates I t after a long ti.
I spent so ti watching, but there was no trace or surveillance.
Kyung-hoon answered the phone.
“Where are you? “I’m still waiting, but it looks like you’re late.”
-yes? I ca.
Surprised, Hyerin looked around.
“Oh wait a minute. Sorry for this. I gave you the wrong na of the cafe. It’s in the cafe right across the street. I’ll be right there.
After naturally lying, he stood up, putting on the old backpack he had left on the seat next to him.
After a while, Kyung-hoon, who was sitting in front of Hye-rin, apologized again.
“You’ve been waiting a long ti. I’m really sorry.”
Kyung-hoon bowed his head deeply to apologize for testing her and for lying to her even now. In response to
Kyung-hoon’s apology, Hye-rin waved her hand.
“No. I was mistaken. “Well,
I felt sorry for Hye-rin, but it was necessary for Kyung-hoon.
She was a woman he didn’t really know yet. She was an awakened person he had never seen before and even though she was sharing a secret, there was no harm in being careful. Thanks to her repeated apologies, all of Hye-rin’s anger was relieved and her awkwardness was resolved. The atmosphere beca sowhat softer.
After a while of ordering coffee, Hye-rin handed a small envelope to Kyung-hoon.
“I asked to et you to give you this.”
Kyung-hoon opened the envelope.
In the envelope was a small envelop from a shotgun warhead. It contained beads and a bullet with a pattern engraved on it.
“I found it in an elk. I thought it was a bullet that was shot after death, so it was easy to take it out.”
Kyung-hoon closed the envelope and looked at Hye-rin. Hyerin also looked at Kyunghoon blankly.
After looking at each other in silence for a mont, Kyung-hoon opened his mouth.
“I don’t need to answer anything, do I?”
Hyerin shook her head,
“I just returned the bullet from the elk.”
‘That’s interesting.’
Kyung-hoon smiled to himself. I had felt it before, but the woman in front of him was very wise. She
must have sensed sothing strange and brought it, but she didn’t ask at all. Because of that, he had to
postpone the answer he had prepared.
Kyung-hoon took the envelope and went to do sothing else . “Have you ever found out
why the dead hunter went crazy?”
Hyerin’s expression darkened a little at Kyung-hoon’s question. It reminded of what happened back then. But she quickly brushed it off and opened her mouth.
“This is confidential…”
Hyerin burst out laughing without answering. What a confidential story for this man. Hyerin started talking openly about everything.
“We got information that the hunter ate a mutation, but we didn’t find out if that was why he changed. “In fact, we have learned very little about the mutants themselves,”
Hyerin sighed.
“The soldiers and Aricans who co in and out of the lab may know sothing, but we have hit a wall.”
It seed like there was less progress than expected. Kyunghoon decided to give a little hint.
“Have you seen anything unusual on the mutant’s body? Like a gem or a bead…”
“Ah, a stone?”
She knew. But she and the researchers thought the beads were ordinary stones that form in the body.
“It seed like a by-product of the body changing.”
“You might want to do so more research. I got one too, but it felt strange.”
When she rembered that Kyung-hoon fought against mutants alone, she nodded at his words.
“I understand. “I will investigate.”
Kyung-hoon was rather embarrassed by how obediently he accepted it.
After that, the two people talked a little more comfortably.
Most of the ti, it was Hye-rin talking about the frustrating situation and Kyung-hoon listening, but Kyung-hoon got to know the situation inside the governnt to so extent.
While they were talking, Kyung-hoon heard the sound of the TV.
It seed like the cafe employee turned up the volu on the TV.
People’s eyes turned to the TV, and Kyung-hoon and Hye-rin also looked at the TV hanging on the wall.
A scene from a movie was playing on TV.
Police cars were rushing in and surrounding the building, and the police were shooting at the building.
“Is this an overseas topic? Also, it looks like there was a gun accident.”
The people who were watching the TV imdiately turned into blank faces. It was a scene that was hard to see in Korea, but it was a scene that was often seen on TV and on the Internet.
However, the blank expressions on the faces of the people quickly changed.
“Huh? Was it a movie scene?”
Inside the building, where bullets were flying, a fireball erupted and set the police car on fire.
Fireballs continued to pour out the window, and the scene inside the screen beca more like a battlefield than a gun accident.
The screen imdiately changed to a studio.
[This is a scene of a terrorist attack that took place today in Ohio, USA. The U.S. governnt announced that a SWAT team killed the terrorist using a special weapon on the spot. However, as doubts grow among people about what the special weapon the U.S. governnt was talking about was…]
The announcer’s voice was drowned out by the noise of the people.
“Wow, wasn’t that a movie?”
“I thought we were filming so kind of hero movie.”
“Isn’t that a superpower, not a weapon?”
Amidst the chattering crowd, Kyung-hoon and Hye-rin looked at each other. Although they
couldn’t be sure, they could recognize the fireball as soon as they saw it.
‘Human mutant!’
‘Awakened!’
Although the nas they ca up with were different, the two could tell that the other person was thinking the sa thing.
Hyerin’s expression beca serious.
“It’s going to get more dangerous, right?”
They found out that there were awakened people other than themselves, but seeing them being accused of being terrorists like that made them worry about the future. But Kyung-hoon shook his head. “It’s
better.”
“Huh?” Hye
-rin was confused by Kyung-hoon’s words.
Kyung-hoon found the current situation amusing. She was clearly a smarter woman than him, but due to lack of information, she had no choice but to narrow her perspective. “If others don’t know, she’s just an
experint, but everyone knows. “If you find out, you beco a person with a dangerous weapon.”
Hyerin’s eyes widened at Kyung-hoon’s words.
“And if you find out that that dangerous weapon can be useful to even more dangerous things. You know what? The test subject might beco a hero.”
“Will that really happen?”
Hyerin looked at Kyung-hoon with earnest eyes.
“Yes, it will happen. “I am sure.”
Images of the terrorist attack in the United States continued to spread and heated up the Internet.
The U.S. governnt tried to block the video, but since it had already been broadcast in real ti, it was not easy to block the video as it continued to be re-uploaded on sites around the world.
［Fireman］
The terrorist who was said to be dead has already been given a nickna, and various rumors have been circulating the Internet, perhaps as an aftereffect.
Regardless of the situation, Kyung-hoon broke up with Hye-rin and headed to Jongno.
It was to sell the gold bars found in the backpack.
’20 1kg gold bars and 10 bottles of beverage labeled as potion.’
The items that ca out of the backpack exceeded Kyunghoon’s expectations.
When the gold bars and drinks were taken out, they weighed well over 20kg, and the amount was quite large.
But strangely enough, when I put it in the backpack, it felt like it weighed less than 5kg.
The backpack brought from the other world was very similar to the inventory or space expansion bag seen in the ga.
Moreover, if you don’t recognize mana like yourself, you can’t see or touch the items inside, so there was no better item to carry a weapon than this.
When Kyung-hoon arrived at the jewelry store, he went into the largest gold and silver room and sold half of the gold bars he had.
500 million won in cash.
There was a small scuffle because the Taegeuk mark engraved on the gold bars seed a little different, but fortunately, all paynts were made in cash.
Gold Bank also preferred cash over bank transfer. This was because cash was freer from tax issues.
Gold bullion trading was easier than expected.
By selling gold bars, Kyung-Hoon was able to understand why rich people hoard gold bars at ho.
Gyeong-hoon, who sold the gold bars, put the bundle of cash in his backpack and left the gold and silver room.
As he left the Geum-Eun Room, he saw a few strange-looking people, but Kyung-Hoon was able to quickly ignore them.
Now that I’ve made money, I need to replenish my equipnt. Kyunghoon headed to Dongmyo flea market.
Dongmyo Flea Market was no different from before. [Sergeant Han Kang], who obtained the goods, was the sa as before. Unlike Kyung-hoon, who had new experiences every day, the world remained unchanged.
“No, why are you here already?”
It’s not that the world hasn’t changed, but it seems like not much ti has passed.
The new store owner. Eunhye snapped back bluntly. She
should have welcod the custors, but the items she brought were very dangerous.
No loud news had been heard, but her nerves were weak. It was difficult for Eun-hye to welco Kyung-hoon, who had already arrived.
Kyung-hoon took out a note and handed it to her, then showed her the broken silencer.
Eun-hye looked at Kyung-hoon with a bewildered face.
“It’s a silencer that’s famous for not breaking, but it’s hard to convert a pistol into a machine gun.” “Did you do sothing?”
It was converted into sothing other than a machine gun.
“And since you asked for this material again, it ans you used it sowhere…”
Eunhye glared at Kyunghoon and eventually sighed.
“Even if I wonder, I’m the only one at a loss. Anyway, I’m doing it because I know you well. I wonder what I really believe in and why I’m bringing it to you like this.”
After muttering for a while, Eunhye put the items in a large bag and brought them to Kyunghoon.
“It’s 750. I added a cannon phone to the existing items, a set of recycled shell casings, and brought two existing silencers. “If I need it, I’ll look for a better silencer.”
“Here’s 800.”
“There’s a lot more, but I’ll just take it. I’ll pay it at a price that won’t make anyone curious.”
Kyung-hoon raised his eyebrows at Eun-hye’s words,
“Are things bad?”
Eunhye scratched her head at Kyunghoon’s words.
“Father, his health has gotten worse. “It’s a lot of money to spend to get treatnt sohow.”
After thinking for a mont, Kyung-hoon took out a bottle from his backpack.
It was a brand-na strawberry-flavored healing potion. It was said to be good for physical weakness and regular recovery, so it seed like it would be helpful.
“Try this. It’s dicinal water that’s good for your health. I got it from soone I trust. It might be effective.”
Eunhye looked a little surprised.
“Thank you. It’s been a while since I received a gift. I’ll make sure to get the right silencer.”
Although he didn’t seem very hopeful, he was very grateful for the attention.
Gyeong-hoon said goodbye to her and headed out carrying the sack. In a remote alley, he put all the items in the sack into his backpack.
The backpack was overflowing, but even though I put everything in it, it was still there.
Kyunghoon put his backpack on his back. He headed to a nearby cafe, satisfied with the light weight.
He sat in a cafe and searched the Internet on his cannon phone.
As expected, the internet was still noisy with the video I had seen earlier.
Kyung-hoon turned on his cannon phone and posted anonymously on several sites.
Mutants and awakened people. And the story that the governnt is hiding.
It was an article that seed like a conspiracy theory like the moon landing hoax, but since it was the right ti, there were quite a few people who saw it and comnted.
After checking the text for a mont, he imdiately left the cafe and headed ho.
Since I accessed the Internet using a cannon phone, it wouldn’t be easy to find it.
It was dangerous to beco an arsonist who started a forest fire alone, but it wasn’t that difficult to fan the flas of a forest fire that had already started.
He cheered the burning bulletin board in his heart.
