North’s New Order (7)
The air in the corner of the study opened, and Dr. Cube wearing a face shield slowly walked out.
[Hello, manager. And Regal Mite.]
“I think you said hello.”
At the advisory chairman’s answer, Dr. Cube smiled under the face shield.
At first, Regal Mite, who was nervous and ready to attack at any moment, realized everything when he heard the title ‘Chief’.
So Dr. Cube was really a professor.
[You guys go back.]
Dr. Cube directed while looking back at Torodor and Goth Hawk who were standing inside the phase portal.
[Surprised, cool! You don’t.]
“At least Dr. Cube is an easy opponent.”
[That’s why there’s no coordinate disturbance equipment, cool! Did you do it?]
“If you do that, the Wi-Fi doesn’t work.”
Dr. Cube pulled a chair and sat down with a low smile.
“You have a bad cough. What happened?”
After taking off the face shield, Professor Hyeon coughed again before replying.
“You inhaled some of his poison gas. It’s getting worse.”
“I see…”
Chairman Hyun, who was not too surprised to see his real face, and Professor Hyun, who alternately looked at Regal Might, shrugged his shoulders.
“Aren’t you really surprised?”
“I already knew that Dr. Cube was you.”
“Is that so? That’s cool! Is that the former Chief Secretor’s ability?”
“No.”
The chairman shook his head slightly and pointed to the handkerchief on his desk.
“Oh, my God.”
“I obtained your biometric information from this handkerchief.”
“That’s right. I lost it, cool! I thought it was, but Secreto agents, cool! Took it.”
Goo Hyun nodded calmly, and seemed not to be taken aback.
So rather, the advisory chairman had to ask.
“Are you okay?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes, well… Cool! Before I came here, I had several, Cool! Scenarios in mind. Among them, there is a scenario when the Administration Office already knows my identity, Cool!”
“Scenario… The best scenario would be that no one knows your true identity and you return quietly.”
“Yes. But I’ll have to destroy it. Cool! Cool! Big…”
The chairperson looked at Professor Hyeon, who was not very agitated, and asked.
“Would you like some tea?”
“Good. Warm, cool!”
“With citron tea.”
Habitually trying to call a servant, the chairperson got up and went out of the study.
When they were left alone, Regal Might opened her mouth.
“Professor Hyun, you…”
“Nice to meet you again, Junhyeok. Cool! I’m sorry I hit you.”
“It’s okay. More than that, what the hell happened?”
“When the manager comes, cool! I’ll tell you. Twice, cool! Cool!”
Coughing out, Gyohyun wiped his mouth and smiled.
“As you can see, I’m not in a position to say it twice.”
After a while, the chairman returned and put down a cup of hot citron tea in front of Dr. Cube.
“Thanks, cool! Thank you.”
As the chairperson sat down, Regal Mite followed suit and sat down again.
The chairman asked Professor Hyeon, who was sipping tea.
“What happened. What happened to Dr. Cube, who put a bounty of 70 billion on his neck while using a call sign that wasn’t even funny?”
“Before that, what happened to him?”
“That’s rather what I want to ask. At that time, all the body cams of the team members were broken. As if someone did it on purpose.”
“I see.”
Professor Hyun nodded slowly.
“Explain.”
Professor Hyeon told the chairman and Regal Might everything.
* * * * *
“That’s funny.”
After silently watching Professor Hyun drinking tea after the story, the chairperson said as if passing by.
“It will be difficult.”
“What do you mean?”
“If there is no way to prove that you lost your memory and were used by North, it will be difficult to clear the charges.”
“Of course there is no way to prove it. In the first place, kuluk! It’s not like you were victimized by the mental system. If you did, kuluk kukuk! There would have been traces left…”
“The mental barrier completely blocks it, so even that must be difficult.”
Professor Hyun nodded briefly and drank the tea.
Legal Mite looked at Professor Hyeon with a complicated expression.
“Professor Hyun. There is something you need to know.”
In a heavy tone, the chairman explained how the deputy director was going to use this situation.
Professor Hyun listened to the story while drinking tea without any reaction.
“The deputy director needs a big shot. That’s you. In fact, rather than the detailed story of this or that, there is just a vicious villain, and in fact, that was a corrupt academy professor. So, the deputy director’s overall command defeats the villainous professor. I want to accomplish the great task of overthrowing Chigonos and restoring peace. To become the next director.”
“A bad professor. It sticks to your mouth.”
“You only sound comfortable. Don’t you understand?”
“I understand, cool! I understand. After all, I am a bad, cool! Bastard no matter what I do.”
Coughing a little, Professor Hyun said like a joke.
After taking a few sips of tea, Professor Hyun asked another question.
“Kids, cool! What about the kids?”
The chairman, who was about to say that it was not important, changed his mind and told him about the children’s current situation.
“Han Min-ha became a Secretto agent and is active in the anti-North department. Song Do-yoon became Regal Mite’s chief sidekick. Both graduated with A-class.”
“A grade. That’s commendable. What about Heewon?”
“I’m at home.”
At those words, Professor Hyun tilted his head slightly.
“Vacation, cool! Are you on vacation?”
“I dropped out. The year you disappeared.”
“Yes…? Dropout? Why? Why is Heewon dropping out?”
“The child who was deeply saddened by your disappearance has become a disabled person. He has been at home for two years already.”
“Yes!?”
Even after hearing that his identity was exposed to the management bureau, Professor Hyeon’s calm eyes began to tremble violently.
“What… What do you mean?”
Professor Hyeon staggered up and approached the window.
From there, I could see Yu Hee-won’s house standing obliquely with the garden in the middle.
No lights were on and all the windows were covered with curtains.
“Didn’t I tell you not to participate in the retaliatory operation? You don’t know what will happen to that child if something happens to you.”
“That’s right.”
“What are you going to do now, Professor Gyo-hyeon? You have officially become Dr. Cube and now it is impossible to quietly return.”
Kyo Hyeon, who was standing there without answering, spoke lowly.
“I’m sorry, manager. Hee-won, cool! Can I meet Hee-won?”
“That’s not okay. If you can’t come back, don’t make it worse by giving me hope.”
The chairperson looked back at the handkerchief on the desk.
“It’s the same for Han Min-ha and Song Do-yoon. You and the children are having a hard time. If they know you’re alive, the children might throw everything and follow you to North. If you’re not an idiot, you can guess.”
Professor Hyeon didn’t say anything, and the chairperson asked in a slightly relaxed tone as if to soothe him.
“What are you going to do, Professor Gyo-hyeon? If you have anything in mind, tell me too. If I can help, I will help.”
“Things to be organized first, and then.”
Kyo Hyun smiled.
“And if you happen to find the green villain again, let me know first.”
“Are you trying to get revenge again? You could really die this time.”
“Revenge is possible, but cool! I have other ideas. And, cool! Cool! Anyway, I’ll die soon.”
“What?”
“Lungs damaged by his poison gas, cool! It’s incurable. A month? A week? Tomorrow? Or tonight? No one knows when he’ll die.”
“What…”
At the right time, the phase portal opened and Torodor and Goth Hawk appeared.
“Then manager, take care of yourself.”
“Professor Hyun.”
Regal Mite called and stopped Professor Hyeon, who was just turning to the phase portal.
“Call me if needed.”
“That’s your definition and common sense, cool! Isn’t it?”
“A person should always be punished as much as he commits a crime. That is my justice and common sense.”
At those words, Professor Hyeon smiled and put his index and middle fingers to the tips of his eyebrows.
“Justice and common sense.”
Legal Mite paused for a moment before replying with the same motion.
“Always there.”
Professor Hyeon, along with his subordinates, disappeared inside the Phase Dimension Gate.
After Professor Hyeon disappeared, Regal Mite turned to the chairman and asked.
“Shouldn’t we tell the children? It would be painful to know, but it would be even more painful to wait without knowing why.”
“I’ll keep it a secret for now. If I tell you right away, the side effects will only grow. Now that it’s clear that Dr. Cube is Professor Hyun, I’ll have to think of a suitable countermeasure.”
“I don’t know if there’s a better way… I’m worried that Gyo Hyeon might not assassinate the deputy director.”
“This is not the world of movies or comics. If it was something that would end so easily, I would have done it first.”
“I know… It’s a time limit anyway…”
Regal Might crossed her arms and made a serious expression.
The head of the advisory committee, who was touching his chin, suddenly realized that the handkerchief on the desk had disappeared.
* * * * *
“Is this right?”
The exit from the phased portal led not to Noth’s hideout, but to a completely different living room.
“Yes, that’s right.”
This is the third floor of Yu Hee-won’s house.
Professor Hyun, who got down in the living room, had to hesitate for a moment as his old memories came to mind.
Han Min-ha eats it up with a bright smile. Yoo Hee-won nags Han Min-ha. Song Do-yoon, who seems to be in a different world from himself.
It was as if I could hear the sounds of children laughing, talking, and breathing in my ears.
