I Picked a Mobile From Another World

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 women.

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 meet her today.

‘You’re good at timing.’

Kyunghoon checked the time and nodded. 10 minutes before the appointment time. My liking for Hyerin grew even more.

Hyerin came near the cafe and looked around. It seemed 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 time.

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.

Time passed. The appointment time 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 time.

High school girls on an outing with their sweet lovers. Classmates I met after a long time.

I spent some time 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 came.

Surprised, Hyerin looked around.

“Oh wait a minute. Sorry for this. I gave you the wrong name 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 time. 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 became somewhat softer.

After a while of ordering coffee, Hye-rin handed a small envelope to Kyung-hoon.

“I asked to meet 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 moment, 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 something 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 something 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 me 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 Americans who come in and out of the lab may know something, but we have hit a wall.”

It seemed 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 seemed like a by-product of the body changing.”

“You might want to do some more research. I got one too, but it felt strange.”

When she remembered 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 time, it was Hye-rin talking about the frustrating situation and Kyung-hoon listening, but Kyung-hoon got to know the situation inside the government to some extent.

While they were talking, Kyung-hoon heard the sound of the TV.

It seemed like the cafe employee turned up the volume 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 immediately 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 became more like a battlefield than a gun accident.

The screen immediately changed to a studio.

[This is a scene of a terrorist attack that took place today in Ohio, USA. The U.S. government 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. government 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 some 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 names they came up with were different, the two could tell that the other person was thinking the same thing.

Hyerin’s expression became 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

experiment, but everyone knows. “If you find out, you become 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 become 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. government tried to block the video, but since it had already been broadcast in real time, 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 nickname, 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 came 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 game.

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 seemed a little different, but fortunately, all payments 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 home.

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 equipment. Kyunghoon headed to Dongmyo flea market.

Dongmyo Flea Market was no different from before. [Sergeant Han Kang], who obtained the goods, was the same 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 time has passed.

The new store owner. Eunhye snapped back bluntly. She

should have welcomed the customers, 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 welcome 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 something?”

It was converted into something other than a machine gun.

“And since you asked for this material again, it means you used it somewhere…”

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 treatment somehow.”

After thinking for a moment, Kyung-hoon took out a bottle from his backpack.

It was a brand-name strawberry-flavored healing potion. It was said to be good for physical weakness and regular recovery, so it seemed like it would be helpful.

“Try this. It’s medicinal water that’s good for your health. I got it from someone 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 government is hiding.

It was an article that seemed like a conspiracy theory like the moon landing hoax, but since it was the right time, there were quite a few people who saw it and commented.

After checking the text for a moment, he immediately left the cafe and headed home.

Since I accessed the Internet using a cannon phone, it wouldn’t be easy to find it.

It was dangerous to become an arsonist who started a forest fire alone, but it wasn’t that difficult to fan the flames of a forest fire that had already started.

He cheered the burning bulletin board in his heart.
