"Hyung also worked at the US headquarters before, right?"
(hyeong; hyung) Literal meaning: "older brother" Is also used to call: A male friend or a male sibling who's older than you (as a male) \=> Jeong Jaeui*
"Jaeui? Right. That kid is so smart that Brain House still covets him now."
Jeong Taeui briefly looked back at his uncle.
"What is Brain House? Is the headquarters and branches divided like that?
"Not exactly, but in general it's like that. The headquarters is considered Brain House because even if a member has a physical disability but has a smart mind, you can still enter. If you want to enter a branch, you must have physical strength... But that doesn't mean you can enter a branch just by being good at fighting and not having brains. Simply put, the branch aims to train people like MacGyver." (A famous agent in a series of the same name.)
*MacGyver (1985 TV series): The show follows secret agent Angus MacGyver, played by Richard Dean Anderson, who works as a troubleshooter for the fictional Phoenix Foundation in Los Angeles and as an agent for a fictional United States government agency, the Department of External Services (DXS).*
"MacGyver... I don't have the confidence to reach that level."
"Why, just roll around in there for a few months and you'll be fine."
Jeong Taeui looked at his uncle talking happily with a bored expression.
So the branches aren't that different, right?"
"Um, that's right. The training process is the same. But there are times when there will be joint training sessions between branches depending on the circumstances. However, each branch has a different atmosphere. The South American members are a bit crazy, the African branch is very cruel, the ones from Australia are a bit unlucky and the Europeans are all extremely unlucky."
Its cheerful voice and content are unique. Jeong Taeui silently exclaimed.
"Is this branch's relationship with the European side bad?"
"The relationship between headquarters and branches is not very good, nor is the relationship between branches. They are inherently competitive people. Among them, the Asian branch and the European branch have the worst relationship. Every year there will be a joint training session lasting 15 days, very bloody..... but worth watching."
This uncle, instead of considering the European branch as bad luck, seemed to enjoy the bloody atmosphere.
How to say. His uncle didn't look friendly at all, but nonetheless, the thoughts in his head and appearance were very significantly different. Sometimes a person as familiar with him as he is also has to open his mouth in bewilderment.
Jeong Taeui buried himself in the chair, feeling comfortable having a place soft and comfortable enough to take a nap.
His uncle came like a storm and took him away. He had to go out for several days and couldn't even rest properly. If he closed his eyes, he could immediately fall asleep.
Perhaps he realized that Jeong Taeui was about to fall asleep, so he quietly spoke.
"If you want to adapt in a short time, it's a bit difficult. Even though I want to tell you to close your eyes right now, we'll be at the dock in a little while. You'll probably be even more tired after sleeping."
"The dock?"
Jeong Taeui turned his head. He doesn't know when cars entered the inner city, the road gradually filled with buildings. Messy signs were scattered overhead with old buildings similar to where Jeong Taeui lived located close together.
Just look up at the brightly sparkling stores to see hanging racks of freshly washed clothes protruding from the crumbling, cracked and peeling buildings.
"Is the Asia branch on Hong Kong Island?"
"Not."
"But why do we have to go to the docks?"
"We have to go by boat."
".... So it's in Macau?"
The uncle burst out laughing. Jeong Taeui looked at his uncle shyly. They were heading to Kowloon, but if not Hong Kong Island, then Macau was the only name that came to his mind right now.
The uncle shook his head.
"It's an island. This island is quite far from Hong Kong Island. Administratively it belongs to Hong Kong - China, but in reality it is an extra-territorial jurisdiction. The Asian branch of UNHRDO is located there."
"Ha......it's like prisoners being locked up on a remote island for fear of them escaping like the old days."
"I can't deny that that place has absolutely no such intentions."
He still smiled and spoke, then looked at Jeong Taeui.
"Changing shifts every two weeks. From 5pm on Friday to 5pm on Sunday, your child will be free to move, so go out and play then. To serve members, there will be boats to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula on that day."
"Hearing what you say...."
"Hmm?"
"There is only the Asia branch of UNHRDO there, right?"
