CODE NAME: ANASTASIA - 9. Hide and Seek

"Uh? What's this?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VhaMHq429
Yoon Jong-woo, who was about to log in to the game, frowned. When he entered his ID and password and clicked the connect button, he received an error message saying that he was already connected. He tried closing and re-entering the active window, but the result was the same. If it wasn't that there was an error on the server, someone else must have stolen his ID.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJBzhHOsMH
He had a feeling like that for quite some time. Every time he logged in, the experience value subtly changed, and there were items that were not in his inventory. He simply thought that there might have been an event that he didn't know about, but it seems that he caught the tail today.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5amMjkzcy
How dare you hack NIS staff. What kind of guy did it?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1bjDRbWNt
"You bastard, you got it wrong."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylBo4RLomR
He entered a different ID to access the game. It was an ID that he dug up for an event entry and left behind. Thanks to that, he had nothing but the basic items.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaw6RJbW2d
Search for the original ID in the user search window. The thief's location was immediately revealed, and he entered the server. The thief was there preparing a game that would soon begin. He was talking to him, but other users urged him to complete the wait quickly. Without hesitation, he pressed the button to join the fight.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT9EA537Sp
Soon the game started. A vivid background screen reminiscent of a real battlefield filled the monitor. The sound of gunfire echoed through the headset, as if it were real. In the place where they became frantic about killing each other, Yoon Jong-woo only chased after the thief. The guy was naturally absorbed in the game. Only high-level users who are obsessed with massacring civilians pick and shoot. He was astonishingly gray-haired.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5NshKCEgk
"Ouch! I didn't use it on purpose and saved it!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJGceiSsTj
Yoon Jong-woo, who was aiming for him, shouted in astonishment. The item he had just thrown away was a rare item that was difficult to obtain even with cash. The treasure he had carefully enshrined without having been equipped even once was being squandered away as if he were proud of it. He couldn't stand it any longer.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqNcninRE5
Yoon Jong-woo applied for a 1:1 match with a very solemn expression. He forgot the fact that the ID the other person was using was his and made up his mind that he would let go of his small work.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNE9TStMKT
Then the thief answered.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SDAJHNhHS
–Don't scratch and go play over there.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8qVvfWSdL
He was speechless, so he gasped. He applied for a fight again. Rejected. reapplied. Again it was rejected right away.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIdIRQ261e
"...This bastard."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0At3OUZWd
He clung to him relentlessly until he accepted. No matter how he messed up, he suddenly responded to the confrontation. Suddenly, he was bewildered again.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXj333CNLn
As soon as the confrontation started, he jumped in and ran. However, there was something Yoon Jong-woo overlooked. The ID, which he accumulated experience by splitting up the time he didn't have, wasn't his now. He was just a bare and powerless low-level user.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q6Vt45Foq
He made full use of his flamboyant skills and launched all sorts of attacks, but the thief could not get a single wound. On the other hand, even if the bullets grazed, the gauge went off. Even halfway up, he slammed the keyboard and mouse furiously.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGYWvNkvax
"Aaaaaagh! Die, die!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjEEwBXfML
Opponents equipped special armor. If he uses it, he won't take damage from most attacks. The problem was that all of Yoon Jong-woo's firepower was included in that tolerable attack. Even if he aimed straight and pulled the trigger, the opponent didn't get a single thin scratch. He made a decision and went out of cover, and it only took away his life.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHfIAIfpUi
In a situation of dilemma, the thief struck a decisive blow. His vision flipped as he was hit with a headshot.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSRxUg7OSp
"No dear... !"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbUChzbRgJ
He grabbed the monitor and screamed, but the game was already over. Shit. He searched again for the ID that the thief had stolen while swearing. But he had already logged out. In the middle of the night he couldn't even scream, he was in a fuss of rage, pulling only his unkempt hair.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi2PYOf9bg
It wasn't until a long time later that Yoon Jong-woo discovered the unconfirmed message. The sender was the thief from before. He immediately checked the contents. There was a place and time written on it without any mention. It's this side that got hit, so he's guessing that even Hyeonpi will come out. It's ridiculous.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmnrx1qKSR
The time specified by him is 30 minutes later, and the location is a PC room in Incheon. Kindly even wrote down his seat number. If he ran diligently from now on, he would be able to arrive on time. Yoon Jong-woo, who was frantic, took his coat and left the house.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCulHuCs3Ki
The lighting in the designated PC room was quite dim. It seemed to increase concentration. Because time is time, many of the seats were empty. The part-time student at the counter was also dozed off and did not notice Yoon Jong-woo's appearance.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWBLZpepqK
He narrowed his eyes and walked through the dark room. He ran for nearly 30 minutes, burning his fighting spirit, but when he arrived, his heart pounded. He took a deep breath and moved to the 59th spot the thief had told him to take. As he passed the 30th, 40th and into the 50th line, his heart thumped like it was about to jump out of his mouth. He walked carefully and finally arrived at seat number 59.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMhtHZwvCu
".....What."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbRxSOG2jt
There is a hint of disappointment on his face. Because seat 59 was empty. The damned thief called people all the way here and ran away.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbybIHETKG4

Maybe he was flirting somewhere inside the store. He took a quick look around. There was no one to meet his gaze. Even those who stand out in particular. It wasn't enough for him to be badly hit in the game, so he was properly played by him.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF2Yi3tscW
"Oh, this motherfucker….!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CaRCelhpl
He clenched his fists in indignation. He couldn't bear to use evil, so he clenched his teeth and struggled. Other users gave disapproving glances at the silent clamor.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGu4TRDIjG
Like that, while getting everyone's attention in one body, he touched the awkward monitor after losing his temper. As a result, the power saving mode was released and the monitor turned on. The reason he was puzzled was because of the writing that filled the screen and could easily reach 200 points.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0X97F6fhV
He sat down.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DfBRJ5sGx
What kind of play is this? Yoon Jong-woo, who was very displeased, sat down in silence. He pretends to be calm and looks around the federation. He wondered if even this was the thief's modification, but he was also curious about what the thief was up to.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58qXLxEh0F
But after a long wait, he did not appear. Other users were only immersed in their own games. Did he play again? There were a thousand fires inside.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fxcZ3GpWY
I need to tell him clearly who he touched. I will find him by any means necessary.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPQV4ambGD

Grinding his teeth, he got up from his seat.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bu9oo5yud
Then, someone suddenly called out.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7IKMOPndH
"Hyeonpi is a grown man."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarwiAkOEN8
"......?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5Faec7igc
Where did I hear that voice?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJNvIkiJAy

He flinched and looked at the seat next to him. Soon, the opponent was also slowly bitten on the back out of the partition. Yoon Jong-woo's eyes widened.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgarUs44It
"Senior!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbTCH95hIC
"Shut up, kid."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E2BK6ID67
Kwon Taek-ju blocked Yoon Jong-woo's mouth in panic. Then he carefully observed the dynamics around him. Yoon Jong-woo was also coldly wary of his surroundings. He releases him only after he's made sure he's safe.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURom8QrBz2
"What happened? I thought you were dead!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnXehvxryl
"You didn't expect that to happen?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyiOH4KFK2
"What do you mean? I worry about you day and night…."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8KlSaM8Zg
"You must have been busy playing games."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRrAAXhQdm
"Yes. I played day and night….It's not, really!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUY76g2lhh
Yoon Jong-woo, who had been dragged into it unconsciously, hurriedly corrected his words. His face was half crying. Pick smiled and nodded to follow him, then got up first.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmUqws2ctt
Yoon Jong-woo asked as he descended the narrow and steep stairs.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghJZrsPG2V
"By the way. That thief earlier, was it you senior?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUknJ2nWWo
"ID cherryboy, password [email protected]@. Isn't it time to change something?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oNeMJ4iGb
He admits it outright. It was shameless to openly steal someone else's ID. Yoon Jong-woo glared resentfully at the back of Kwon Taek-ju's head, who was leading the way. In his heart, if it wasn't for his senior, he chewed over and over again.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv03bkHzy1
"If that's not your senior, then what?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv32GcmMe8
"....yes?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoavjHWjDu
He wondered if he unknowingly muttered what he was thinking alone. Yoon Jong-woo was startled and covered his mouth.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6WpYXNdJk
"Didn't you know? I know how to do mind reading."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IhgRLEl3k
He said, "Is Yoon Jong-woo genuinely real?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZCaF65rua

Kwon Taek-ju didn't reply and just split the room. It was clear he was playing too. Why did Yoon Jong-woo himself meet a shooter like Kwon Taek-ju? Why did it have to be today, too, he raised a futile objection to the goddess of fate.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDnb7S3dg9
Kwon Taek-ju's face reflected in the streetlight was beyond words. Everywhere he looked, there was a sin bandage or a bandage attached. His physique was still the same, but his face line had become sharper and he seemed to have lost 5kg. Maybe he didn't sleep properly, so he was tearing up under his eyes. It was so pitiful that he couldn't even feel more resentful of him.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47VIO63ZQ7
Yoon Jong-woo had no way of knowing where Kwon Taek-ju had been and what he had been doing. This is because his duties are kept secret even from fellow NIS colleagues. During the operation, there were more times when we could not be contacted, so he wondered why they hadn't seen each other for several months. He was the kind of person who would come out of nowhere and ask for a meal once the mission was safely completed, just like they had met yesterday.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpAAvxSj72
He has never been worried about the safety of Kwon Taek-ju. But this time it was a little different. After Kwon Taek-ju called from Russia, he felt uncomfortable. 'Yevgeny Visarionovich Bogdanov', whom he was traveling with at the time, was a person whose official information could not be found. He was no longer a good sign in itself, but the more he knew, the more dangerous he became. He tried to convey that fact to Kwon Taek-ju, but he couldn't because he lost contact. He never got a call from him again. He was embarrassed and reported to Lim, but he was told not to worry as Kwon Taek-ju was all right. After that, he must have been a useless old woman, he thought and brushed it off.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcTkiW19AQ
However, Kwon Taek-ju, whom he met after a long time, did not seem to be safe.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NkKDvEv7S
"Did you bring the car?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMWwUawq0O
"Yes, over there."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSGFr3lmy9
Carefully he opened the car door. The two sat in the driver's and passenger's seats, respectively.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1MEz7ltEz
"Where shall we go?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWuca1ZjGB
"Talk over here."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsvO5k3gKO
Kwon Taek-ju turned off the engine that Jong-woo Yoon had put on, and took out the memory chip from the black box. The location information recorded in the navigation is also deleted. The inside of the car was just dark with no headlights or interior lights turned off. It seemed that no one was aware of the presence of people outside.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL8v2uVaRz
He opened his mouth only after thoroughly erasing his traces.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJgGA9lsUw
"What does the manager say? About me."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPt3ybau3g
"Even so, I was on the phone with my senior last time and just hung up, right? After that, there was no contact. The identity of the guy you were going with at the time was also the same, and I was very uncomfortable with it, so I told the manager. Since you're safe, you told me not to worry about you? It's a monthly pass."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTNxgcMQUc
"All right… I'm not saying it's wrong because I'm not dead. So, how is the atmosphere at the headquarters these days?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNHilvudDG
"Oh no, don't talk. There is really no time to catch your breath these days. You said you worked overtime for three days until yesterday? Why, haven't you been making a lot of noise recently that there will be a major personnel transfer? The Blue House will nominate one of the current deputy directors as the next NIS chief."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TMaPdE7Nz
Stories like that circulated frequently. It was rumored that the current head of the National Intelligence Service announced his intention to resign due to personal reasons. The head of the National Intelligence Service is appointed by the president, and the position is usually occupied by an outside person. Although he is the supreme leader, it was to prevent excessive power by giving only symbolic meaning. It was also not unrelated to the fact that it would be easier to manage if it was entrusted to someone close to the Blue House.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjTvkKyXmf
For that reason, it was an extremely unusual move for one of the deputy directors to become the NIS chief. If the rumors were true, only the employees below would be tired. Because each department will work hard to accumulate even one more performance.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2E10buWv4
Yoon Jong-woo's complaint that followed was proof of that.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH2X07DfBf
"The manager is also very energetic and treats us like slaves? I was going to take a long vacation this month, but I want him to just send me home. I can't even say that I'm going to work because he had noticed."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0mlRuoYn9
"Did anything else happen?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYEUDEatxX
"Well. Oh, there is one. I recently moved to the information support team."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPt9dVnh1G
It was only then that Kwon Taek-ju, who had been looking straight ahead, turned his head to Yoon Jong-woo. "Why", he shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6g6bAdLZE
"I don't have a lot of compatibility with the investigation team. It wasn't like I supported it from the beginning. When I joined the company, the manager promised that if the investigative team was filled, I would be removed from the support team. You've kept it until now, well. Nothing bad. As expected, support team work is a race against time, not as risky as on-site. Life insurance, which used to cost 1.1 million won a month, is a benefit because you don't have to buy it anymore. It's full of good things... ."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIMc2Bza7o
"By the way, what?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx5CKL2mcN
He doesn't miss Yoon Jong-woo's words, which hangs ambiguously. Yoon Jong-woo shut his mouth for a moment. He was contemplating whether to say something or not. Let's wait in silence, and they'll talk soon.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOK284Tb35
"I was trembling without knowing something. Our department isn't full yet. At that time, I hadn't heard that another employee other than me had moved to the team. It's not like I made a big mistake or achieved anything in my work. Whether it's for punishment or reward, there's no reason to send it to the support team in the first place. How many tardies do you consider to be a reason for personnel action?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTANMuvz195
Looking at the complaints, it seemed that no clear reason had been heard. Most likely, such personnel actions are based on the needs of the upper management.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwgqtYidj9
"What was the last mission you had on the investigative team? You wiped out Kim Young-hee's gang in Busan, is that it?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0FKzEyCQt
"You can't divulge that."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbfEa7uRoj
"It's relaxing. Will you do that even if you cut off your head after this?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4HXtxBUNx
".....That's right. then that."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fNNFXkVhl
After hearing the answer, he thought deeply. Looking back, it all started right there.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4vopdmMrJ

Immediately after arresting Kim Young-hee and his gang in Busan, he was called by Lim, and he was soon to leave for Russia. It was after that that Yoon Jong-woo, who was a partner in the mission, was suddenly reassigned to the team. He certainly wasn't ashamed. Is there a case where the assistant shooter's personnel transfer is not notified to the shooter?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxjhwQh5qI
"Strictly speaking, you are not qualified for this operation."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkd8XEJcbp
"Since you've been so flustered from the start, I should be able to feel safe from this distance. There is no other child left at the water's edge. So, I've got someone to help you."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AKfJpHndk
Looking back, there were many strange things. Partners are usually attached before being put into operation. Kwon Taek-ju prefers to work alone, and it was obvious that he would reject it, so putting it off until later was not a good excuse. He had conceded a hundred times, and even if he had a good reason for doing so, it was not a mistake to send Salman and Zenya's picture in exchange.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfKlcBUUVa
"Anyway, do you think you're hated on that side too? My name was mistakenly sent to a place called the National Intelligence Service... It can't be."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFO8ZvAkc2
"I had one more mission."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTGifB9u6e
"It was an order from the Korean side. What the hell were you doing in your home country? What did you do to come here and almost get shot?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs92tA6tbdF
The stories of Zenya and Salman flash through his mind. At this point, it seemed that things hadn't simply gone awry. He definitely needed to dig into it.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOOJC4k23G
"What happened to the guys I caught and handed over in Busan?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQUZz3wutG
"Ah, maybe you don't know, senior? It was noisy for a while then. It was a clean-up operation on a passenger ship. There were numerous hostages and even witnesses, but I couldn't go over quietly. Maybe they had in mind that they would be responsible later, and they announced that it was not the arrest of the operative, but the maritime police eradication of the armed drug smuggling group."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ911GaU0OUW
It's common. Civilians do not know that there are South Korean operatives in the world these days. And the government wants to avoid social unrest as much as possible.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TQXEOuyNU
"And speaking of Kim Young-hee, she must have been poisoned right before the arrest."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRoVbvrsmS
"....Does she eat poison?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6EOVJjgXR
A wrinkle forms between Kwon Taek-ju's forehead. Yoon Jong-woo shook his head and said he was already dead when the police arrived.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf4k5tVtKs
Kim Young-hee also attempted to harm herself when Kwon Taek-ju himself caught her.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZyI0gqLtP

However, he soon handcuffed his left hand and hung it on the railing, while his right hand was shot and tattered. He even put a handkerchief in her mouth to keep her from biting her tongue, how could he have harmed her?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEoplpuiRY
"Tell me more. How did that happen?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfoS30oTHL
"I don't know either. After that, the team changed quickly. It seems that the head of the arrest diary wrote it instead because the senior was not there?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFlApAQA1C
If there is no doubt, there are no doubts. There was nothing he couldn't do if he tried to understand. But once questioned, the whole thing seemed dubious. He knows things are going pretty unnaturally, but he still doesn't know what's causing it. He felt like he was missing an important clue.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsmwyysoxl
It felt like he had to go through it all over again from the beginning. That would take time. The fact that Kwon Taek-ju himself had returned to Korea would have to be kept a secret for the time being. Hardening his thoughts, he called out warmly, servant Wu.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdAnXdP2Ck
"Why, why... ."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaqRsSjiuC
"Where are you going to go and say you met me?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qaRFuwdE1
"Why not?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC4wuYTqt3
"Because there might be a wanted order in my future. If it became known that you met me today, would you be accused of being an accomplice?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ixGAhLLJC
"Yes? What the hell have you done!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5uciMKFOu
Yoon Jong-woo shouted at his flagship. The pupils were about to roll down from the wide open eyes. He lightly flicked his finger on his forehead. Yoon Jong-woo rubbed the area that had been hit with a dying sound.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LyDHityBB
"What would you do if you were here? You ran away long ago."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTpOgOTj2F
".....Is that so? Criminals can't openly appear in front of NIS agents. Fearless."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7VfQ7Lm1O
He muttered to himself, and then quickly understood. Kwon Taek-ju turned his head and ate. Yoon Jong-woo understood the meaning of the laugh at once and blushed, telling him not to laugh at him. Yes, seeing as he is crazy about shooting games, he must be the best agent in the field at heart.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1YrPoyQjQ
Just then, Yoon Jong-woo's cell phone rang. Yoon Jong-woo said, "Wait a minute," and checked the message he had just received. Dawn was about to break, and the outside of his window was gloomy. There were no passers-by, but they remained vigilant.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqfBa6WQsg
"Spam is extreme."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTaIFt4cmy
Yoon Jong-woo quickly put his cell phone in his pocket. He tried to pretend to be calm, but his tone seemed to have hardened a bit. He scanned him by rolling only his pupils. He was nervously fiddling with the gun at his waist. He threw his gaze out the window again and gave a calm warning.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm2t6GdME7
"Let's not do anything stupid. Because I don't want to knock you down."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjQ065nLtf
"Um, I don't know what you mean."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9VYLjUMoW
"Hmm, don't you know? Do you have a baby or someone?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOPnF1q77u
As he teased him, Yoon Jong-woo let out a deep sigh. His shoulders, stiff from his tension, also dropped.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGIXXetqKq
"As you said, an internal wanted order has just been issued. If you come into contact with a senior, report it to your superiors immediately."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FW7sXxWWb
"What are the charges?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvaT31JSuZ
"I heard you were accused of colluding with a Russian intelligence agent? isn't that what he said to Yevgeny Visarionovich Bogdanov?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLwX0kpl8V
Laughter broke out. It was absurd. The entanglement with Zenya was purely the headquarters' fault. He went through all the hardships while sticking with him unwillingly, and he managed to come back alive, but he weaved it like this. Of course, it's true that he got along with him whether he likes it or not, and it's true that he accompanied him to a gathering of only major Russian figures, so it would have been easy to accuse him of leaking state secrets based on that circumstance alone. He even impersonated Lim to Sergey.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG46mJLnVph

Yoon Jong-woo did not know what kind of mission Kwon Taek-ju himself had taken and there was no other way to prove it. Because Zenya blew up the hotel and all evidence about him was destroyed. It was the same that Zenya's picture was sent incorrectly. When he is caught and taken away from headquarters, all charges are laid against him.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCXEFqzuoX
Someone is making a plan. Kwon Taek-ju himself was just a horse playing on top of it.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT8VDeiwfW

When was the plan made? After I left for Russia? Or after I arrested Kim Young-hee and his gang in Busan?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy6Nh0JUVl

Maybe he was included in the scenario from clearing them out.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjhTOPNgMP
What was clear was that the operation in Russia had two targets. ''Anastasia'' and Kwon Taek-ju, himself.

"What the hell is this? It's a suspicion of talking, and if you do, you'll be involved in leaking state secrets. Nonsense….There's no way your senior would have had an affair with that Russian bastard. If he did, he wouldn't have called me to find out what he was up to. That's like openly proving that you're in contact with him, right? He wouldn't have come back knowing that he would definitely fall under a wanted order….."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYxQ01WhZs
Yoon Jong-woo was half crying. A look of uneasiness was evident in his quivering eyes. As an NIS employee, he must follow the orders of the headquarters, but he seemed confused because he had questions about the instructions.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQLKiJeTyo
He had no choice but to briefly tell what had happened in Russia. Yoon Jong-woo, who listened carefully, tilted his head at the fact that he had let go of the situation at the headquarters. If the identity is discovered during normal operations, the NIS cuts off support for the agent in order to avoid national scrutiny. Even so, within the headquarters, the countermeasures were to be thought through.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhFFZSdu1u
However, Yoon Jong-woo had not sensed such an atmosphere until now. To him, who was worried about Kwon Taek-ju's safety, Manager Lim told him to be at ease. Something is definitely strange.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnH4JfKTCU
"What do you think, senior?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAMU6CoKbK
"I don't know for sure either. I'll have to find out from now on."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbavApfaLB7
"I don't have any physical evidence yet, is that okay? The risk is too great to move with only a heart attack. As I guessed, if someone at the headquarters had organized the matter, I wouldn't let you roam around freely. If you drive it to leak national secrets rather than simple internal affairs, you will attract even the prosecution. If you get caught then, it's the end."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNRVChnJGC
"Is it caught like this or not like that? Someone keeps stepping on me, but I have to try my last breath. First of all, I'll investigate Kim Young-hee again. No matter how much I think about it, I think I missed something there."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEzliw3dgC
"I've already finished one fishery, do you have anything else to sell?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM10J8pr5DD
"You never know. Maybe we didn't see the forest because we were only looking at the tree named Kim Young-hee. He might have distracted us by throwing Kim Young-hee as bait. Looking back, she was caught too easily, back then."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypKsQPkqMc
"Things were pretty much the same as they are now. I have a lot of heartache, but it was a situation where there was no evidence. At that time, Kim Young-hee contacted Lee Cheol-jin."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1YfPw9VBK
Things that are too loose should be suspected. At the time, he couldn't afford to do that because he was thinking of arresting him as a criminal in the act. He was planning to catch it first, and then conduct a reinforcement investigation, but he was not given the opportunity to do so. It was because Kwon Taek-ju himself was kicked out to Russia and Yoon Jong-woo was kicked out to another team.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfXtcfFAMT
"Like you said, it won't be easy because of the wanted order. It would be natural for him to take off his clothes, and he would be imprisoned with all sorts of crimes. Still, you can't eat it after working hard."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnZ0dVwr5m
Agents often likened their situation to a hound. Although they are dedicated to the country, they are ruthlessly abandoned when faced with a crisis. He knows he can't help it. It was something he was fully prepared for from the moment he became an agent. However, it could not be sacrificed because of someone's need, not because of unavoidable circumstances.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5rBtFAtV3
Yoon Jong-woo groaned and put his head on the steering wheel. He imagined himself to be the main character while reading various hero waters, action movies, and shooting games. It was part of that aspiration that he applied for the National Intelligence Service. But when a movie-like situation comes up, he doesn't know what to do.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc1y4tfmtf
Kwon Taek-ju's wanted list has already fallen. If he helped him even in the slightest, he could be accused of sympathy. It was easy to be accused of being an accomplice if he was more unlucky.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oN0vJV54A
When he is in public office, there comes a moment of agony between finding out the truth and being silent. Because he was human, he had no choice but to be shaken.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY2Kt1jxpV
It was his situation, but when he thought about it, it was right to follow the command of headquarters. There was no reason for him to risk himself by being caught in the trap of inconsistent loyalty or camaraderie.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1IwdVjstX

All he had to do was follow his conviction to live a long and thin life. It is a world that is too daunting to take care of oneself. No one else is responsible for his life anyway.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUHMpSgRln
Yoon Jong-woo, after rationalization after rationalization, finally spoke up.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mIV1iCvub
"What can I do to help?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMbMFAHIYv
His conscience asked, betraying his reason for seeking his own comfort.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6BijptNql

At the Prosecutor Seok Jae-hee's office in the 1st division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, preparations for the trial were in full swing. It was ahead of the 5th trial of the first trial against Kim Young-hee, her liaison, and Lee Cheol-jin, who had stayed in the United States for 10 years and washed her nationality and then returned to Korea to carry out operative activities. As Kim Young-hee, a key figure in the case, died during the arrest, the trial was expected to end earlier than expected.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp5gLefGO3
To that extent, it is necessary to gradually determine the amount of sphericity of Lee Cheol-jin. Prosecutor Seok looked at the heap of documents on his desk and was pensive. The prosecutor's sentence has a great influence on the judgment. In order not to be unfair to either side, it is revealed that the crime is clear and clear, and the punishment is as much as the crime committed. It's a simple principle, but it wasn't easy to follow it.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTXNR4jEK5
It was when he was checking the previous precedent. A knock was heard, and Chief Kim came inside.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9eKamyZy6
"Here are the materials you mentioned."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZJmDrCdA3
Handing over the requested overseas examples, ask if he has heard of them. It was only then that he raised his eyes and looked at Chief Kim. He came closer and whispered.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Hb9BpHXD
"I met Chief Park of the 2nd Public Security Division on my way back. You know the NIS agent who jointly investigated with us last time? It seems that a wanted order has been issued for him."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIm4e5Ccii
"What are the charges?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0806ejc9Hg
"Looks like you had an affair with a Russian intelligence agent. Wouldn't it be a crime to leak state secrets?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY4lT07Y4E
Prosecutor Seok also remembered Kwon Taek-ju. This is because they cooperated three or four months ago regarding the investigation into Kim Young-hee's gang. Since they had only met a handful of times in reality, there were no grounds to gauge the personality, patriotism, or integrity of a person named 'Kwon Taek-ju', let alone personal acquaintance. Still, he didn't understand. He personally arrested Kim Young-hee and his gang, and he himself was pursued for leaking state secrets.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJEXCkrCO7
"Tell me more."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0EGJAeUxf
"Because I didn't hear it properly….It seems that they arrested Kim Young-hee and his gang in Busan and left for Russia right away. I applied for leave from the NIS for my mother's birthday, and even disguised my identity. Seeing that the wanted order has been dropped, there must be clear evidence of conspiracy, right?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEbv2euLka
Come to think of it, he never met Kwon Taek-ju after the case was over. All of his necessary materials were delivered directly from the National Intelligence Service.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ8icKHC8g
Originally, the party to the public security case is often an unexpected person. Kwon Taek-ju was no exception. However, he was more curious and suspicious about what state secrets he sold so hastily.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH14IXdiZhg
A knock sounded again. Since there was no prior promise, he stared suspiciously at Chief Kim. He shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't know who it was either.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFApbHwZzbR
"Yes."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz26HC3tpIy
When consent is given to come in, the door opens. Hello, the face is quite familiar. Maybe it was because he was just talking about Kwon Taek-ju. It was Yoon Jong-woo, his junior who often accompanied Kwon Taek-ju.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eg3TJLxHF
"Ah yes. hello. But what happened here…."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJneao9icjm
"You must be busy preparing for the trial, but I risked rudeness because I had something to ask."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZpVIVaSQn
"Please? Come in at once."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDm6vsoyId
Despite being asked to come in willingly, Yoon Jong-woo continued to hesitate outside the door. Glancing at Chief Kim with a troubled face, he seemed to want a quick conversation.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeXuGOENa3
Prosecutor Seok immediately got up and put on his jacket. There was still a mountain of work to be done, but what was the point of just sending the person who came to visit me at best?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PDNhEd02F
"I'll be back in 30 minutes."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop5jUdIFxF
After notifying Chief Kim, he leaves the prosecutor's office with Yoon Jong-woo.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHbT1ySUuL
The two entered a cafe near the prosecutor's office. It was late in the morning, so there were few people. Nonetheless, Yoon Jong-woo dared to go inside. His constant vigilance of the surroundings made him more curious about the reason for coming. As soon as he got the drink, he asked first.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNph6rHb9i7
"Now tell me. What are you doing?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F2EP7zRXI
"I heard that Kim Young-hee committed suicide."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aGO62yL2P
He tilted his head at Yoon Jong-woo's first words. Kim Young-hee died less than three months ago. Yoon Jong-woo, the person in charge of the investigation, couldn't have known about it. Even so, what is the reason for bringing out the past story? It was questionable, but he kindly nodded his head.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dg7bKhBMC
"Yes. As you know, he died during the arrest. When the Coast Guard arrived at the ferry, he was already dead."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBv4IAERYs
"What is the basis for judging Kim Young-hee's death as a suicide?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX3tNU9irJ
"As a result of the autopsy, it was found that Kim Young-hee exerted physical force on her left molar right before her death. Cyanide was detected in the molars. It seems to have been covered with cyanide in a special material that breaks when a certain amount of pressure is applied. She's in case the operation fails."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldYY1DMx2J
"How about a handkerchief?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTudlPSEgdI
"Handkerchief?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipcRZlty0z
"Kwon said that he put a handkerchief in Kim Young-hee's mouth to prevent such self-harm. With her gunshot wound, her right hand was barely usable, and her left arm was bent behind her and tied to the railing, so it would have been difficult to pull the handkerchief out of her mouth on her own. Her mouth was so full that she couldn't even bite her molars."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP3nsPwdHY
"We have not received any reports that a handkerchief was found at the scene."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdGT8uoSFO
Yoon Jong-woo's face hardened. Prosecutor Seok's face also became serious. As Yoon Jong-woo said, if Kim Young-hee was in a state where she could not move voluntarily, and even had her mouth gagged. Also, if she was alive until Kwon Taek-ju stayed on her ferry. When and how did she attempt suicide? It was information that could not be confirmed from the CCTV footage obtained.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3mPlArk61
There was only one possibility to deduce, but the existence of a third party. There was a little gap before Kwon Taek-ju chased the fleeing Lee Cheol-jin and the maritime police arrived at the ferry. It's only a few minutes, but it's enough time to bring Kim Young-hee to her death. Of course, it was a story that was established when Kim Young-hee could not harm herself due to Kwon Taek-ju's sure measures.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGACgFzjUG
"So, are you talking about the possibility of Kim Young-hee being murdered?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZbt1Is2eb
"I think we need to check it one more time. The handkerchief disappears everywhere, Kim Young-hee dies right before her arrest, and the fact that what she stole was top-secret material that was inaccessible to her unless she was a high-ranking official... I'm a little embarrassed."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTueBF5DLgu
"The data was handed over by an army officer who had an internal affair with Kim Young-hee, haven't you come to a conclusion? It became difficult for him to confess because he also committed suicide after being summoned. Considering that both of them were operatives, the act of attempting suicide after a failed operation is not incomprehensible."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMhnfXU53L
"Hmm….Then have you seen that ring?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBGmrJAmfA
"What ring are you talking about?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmawH5whaz
"Wasn't Kim Young-hee wearing a ring?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA3EA9rjwm
"No. There has been no report on that either."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41L63lIM3K
Whether it was a handkerchief or a ring, it was a story he didn't know at all. The trial proceeded without such elements from the beginning. If Yoon Jong-woo's words were true, the trial so far would have ended in vain.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEnWsyX7T6
"So what you're trying to say….."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOPZPus44x
"What if someone fabricated this case?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAq2xazSr3
"Fabricated? Are you saying that the accused even wrote a false name?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u8nHs1kJy
"No. Rather than that, there may be more parties to the incident. The dead army officer's claim that he had nothing to do with the operation could be true. There might be someone else who stole the secret from Kim Young-hee."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYHoFkuK5f
Yoon Jong-woo repeatedly hinted at new possibilities. He was close to conspiracy theory to be exact. Prosecutor Seok also thought that the timing of this case was exquisite. Kim Young-hee, who had been hiding her identity well for years, tried too hastily to contact her. It was just two months after the cognitive investigation began. In the process, an army officer who was suspected of having an affair with her took her own life, and she also made her own extreme choice. Except for Lee Cheol-jin, all the key figures in the case had evaporated.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYetz7Mfsh
However, no matter how uncomfortable it was, right now it was just an imagination without substance. It's as if something didn't happen without physical evidence.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkga4FMmLlE
"Even if there is one truth, there are always dozens or hundreds of claims. Because each person has different interests and perspectives, disputes do not cease. The story of the handkerchief or ring that disappeared from the scene is, in the end, just someone's one-sided claim. If you need my help, please come with clearer evidence."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGYkEpkNsw
A clear line was drawn. In the trial to be held in a few days, Lee Cheol-jin must be sentenced. Before that, if Yoon Jong-woo brought conclusive evidence, he would have revealed the truth even if all the time and effort he had put in was in vain. But if he didn't, he could never agree.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc7GsFBGgx
Yoon Jong-woo nodded as if he understood. His complexion became dull.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5xDUgJF7Y
"If you have nothing more to say, I'll get up first."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11KyhqmOLn
Prosecutor Seok immediately stood up. Yoon Jong-woo quickly got up and nodded. For some reason, Prosecutor Seok, who greeted him with a silent bow, walked towards Yoon Jong-woo instead of the doorway. He passes Yoon Jong-woo, who looks at him suspiciously, and heads to the seat behind him. A man with a hooded hat was sitting there. He has his head down, so he speaks without hesitation, even though his face is barely visible.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb17NcADR50
"I heard that a wanted order was issued a while ago. I haven't received an official request for cooperation yet, so I'll just skip this time. But the next time we run into them, we'll have no choice but to arrest you. Personally, I hope that never happens."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyUxfX22tH
He warns in a low voice. There was no response from the man. After looking down at the man for a while, Prosecutor Seok turned around and left the cafe.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarhhzYpSyb
Yoon Jong-woo slumped down in his seat.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbd8aTN3kc
"Senior, have you been caught?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLpegkUCMd
What should I do? He looked back. The man sitting with his back to him was none other than Kwon Taek-ju. Even though Prosecutor Seok recognized him early, he refused to arrest him. It was as if Prosecutor Seok agreed with Yoon Jong-woo's question, or Kwon Taek-ju's question to be exact. As long as the physical evidence was secured, he would always act according to the standard.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI8rZC9HbN
Of course, apart from his demands, immovable evidence was needed to clear his name.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqVkCNfcdf
"Once you return to headquarters. It won't look good if you keep hanging around the yard where you hit it several times."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUKkqXHei2
"What will you do, senior? If you get caught in an unexpected check…..."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBBQfb15Z2
He wiped Yoon Jong-woo's pale face. The rapid blood circulation made the entire face hot. Yoon Jong-woo covered his face while saying, "Ahhhh."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYkq9uDbWC
"Take care of yourself, man. I will find a way to live on my own."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOquv94p8eh
Even the nape of the honorable junior's neck is massaged tightly. Yoon Jong-woo did not stop.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvfGxll13T
Kwon Taek-ju's mother was standing at the sink with a bewildered expression. The rice in her cheeks was puffy. While cooking rice with the intention of feeding her son, she lost her mind for several hours.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgXqzE2KpL
Suddenly coming to her senses, she mechanically moved her hand again. Then, what did she think, she rushed to the living room.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo1qSyjwwG
When she saw her cell phone being charged, there was a message that had just arrived. She checked the received message with trembling hands. However, it was spam, not the contact she had been waiting for. For more than three months, she did not know if her only son was alive or dead.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWOwOxxHoI
"......."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6qJk0K2th
Frustrated for a while, she got up from her seat with a very spleen face. She takes out a random coat and hurriedly leaves the house. Each of her feet had different shoes sewn on them.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHorHfkQagc
She passed by without hearing the greetings of neighbors who pretended to know where to go. She didn't even realize that someone was watching her.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e1SFUh8St
After a while, the place where Kwon Taek-ju's mother arrived was at a nearby fire station. The cops showed disapproval of her as soon as she appeared. The junior police officer, who was watching her, came up to her.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKT3SKYG4H
"Did you find my son?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9gRVvJhtR
Kwon Taek-ju's mother desperately grabbed the constable's arm. The constable only smiled vaguely at the recurring situation every time. Sit down this way for her, then guide her to a table near her as she does. The police officer who was watching brought her a glass of warm water.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18vVbkUDnB
However, Kwon Taek-ju's mother looked at the two of them alternately with a bewildered look, and only let them sleep over and over again.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF8HA7Djy4
"Did you find my son?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E6KHzVNkQ
"Ah, that….We are working hard too. However, as I said before, when an adult goes into hiding without being contacted, the weight is put on the side of running away rather than disappearing. Especially since she's your son...."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zdt3MpUTN

"He's not like that! I've been calling every single day. No matter what happened, even if it was late, he always answered. He's not the kind of person who would disappear without a word like that!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlS5raYN6B
"Yes, of course he would. But, mother. Didn't your son say anything right to you as a mother? They said that there is no such employee at the community center where your son was working, and even after searching through the list of local officials, we could not find anyone with the same name. You saw it yourself, too."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZliilYM2n
The policeman persuaded calmly. However, Kwon Taek-ju's mother denied that, saying that it could never happen.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMxzGK7z4j
"Something must have gone wrong. It must have been a terrible thing. Cell phone location tracking, you can do that. His phone might have turned back on by now. Come on, try it. hurry!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABfe3DB8IK
"Mother, calm down. First, drink water…."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCydxryyKlU
"You said you would find my son! Find out soon! Find my son!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG6AvbL5r5
The glass of water fell out in a frenzied gesture. Then, in case she gets hurt, they grab both of her arms and go on a rampage even more violently. The police officers who were holding her back were pushed away, and he was scratched and injured by her fingernails.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGyy86lF1M
The police officer, who looked at the scene disapprovingly, bit the other police officers. Then, he handed out a printout to Kwon Taek-ju's mother, who was frantic.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTGFAne8yE
"Mother, look at this. Your son, right?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA1dKR4Y6n
Kwon Taek-ju's mother, who inadvertently looked at the photo paper, widened her eyes. She shook off the cops who were holding her and grabbed the printout. The printing condition was not very good, but it was definitely a photo of Kwon Taek-ju. She nodded her head several times.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6efftgonj
"Right, my son. Did you find him?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGjvcGirSk
"That's why we lost contact. Your son, he's a wanted criminal."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv8xlDblYX
".....Yes?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrksbGvn6ZL
"Don't you know what I mean? They said he were guilty, Mr. Kwon Taek-ju. He didn't get caught by nasty people, he did the nasty thing himself and got away. How are we going to find the guy who decided to escape?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAazjPhirq9
The last words were close to self-talk.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrhY0Vcb9n
Kwon Taek-ju's mother stood blankly and shook her head. Her unfocused eyes blinked convulsively.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM82Zp4mXF
"That couldn't be... ."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfJRp4mU9Q
"Yes. Your child is not like that, everyone says that. Anyway, your son is now on the run for committing a felony. They're not asking us to find it, he's the plate you have to find and bring to us yourself. If you contact him, please tell him to surrender and find the light."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtefJkT37HR
Pour it out without leaving a chance to dry it around. Kwon Taek-ju's mother was completely stunned as if she had been bombed. It couldn't be like moaning from time to time, just repeating what he said.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54jVYyVLVS
After a while, it turns around. Her concerns, her youthful gazes pursued her. Sure enough, she collapsed before she even left the door.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJwlpwub2t
"Madam!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRY2CTQNi8
"Oops, call 911!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlFwZNMpWs
"What are you looking at stupidly? Hurry this way!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB31SlsmYj
The bewildered cops shouted incoherently. Someone called her 911, and several carried her to the bench after she collapsed. Wet the handkerchief, place it on her forehead, and hurriedly massage her limbs to help her blood circulate. The ambulance arrived ten minutes later.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM1cxH2wkf
Kwon Taek-ju's mother was loaded into an ambulance unconscious. Instead of her missing guardian, a constable agreed to accompany her to the hospital. The ambulance turned on its warning lights and left the police station in a hurry.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHQ9OKZRuP
Until the loud siren faded away, there was someone who kept the seat. It was Kwon Taek-ju. Worried about her mother, he was hanging out in front of the house, and when she came out just in time, he had just followed her. When he is wanted, she will be monitored by people close to him, so he planned to return after watching from afar.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlubaJXW9k0
She's a nobleman who can't sleep comfortably because she's worried about her son, but he didn't expect her to be doing well. He didn't expect to see her being carried away on a stretcher. He was resentful that he had to watch helplessly, without any guilt.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmzjhxFj8W
He pulled the brim and pushed the hat deeper. Kwon Taek-ju's fists turned white as he let go of his quick steps. He had one more reason to reveal the truth.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG2RIZ7DPp
He immediately went to the PC room. Go to the farthest corner and access the shooting game Yoon Jong-woo enjoys. When he logged in with Yoon Jong-woo's ID, a message arrived. It was sent by Yoon Jong-woo through a different ID.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz1l3c0tx5

As soon as he checked the content, he permanently deleted it. Then, less than five minutes after entering, he was out of there.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwjvz2p20S
The place where Kwon Taek-ju reappeared was a subway station. He walks among the crowd of passengers alighting in droves and breaks away from the ranks. As he walked through the underpass where people were rare, he saw homeless people sitting in groups of two. While flirting with strangers, he felt a subtle sense of wariness. He passed them and stopped in front of a man lying on a sheet of newspaper.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpjf8RTaUS
A worn-out box of Bacchus was placed in the man's seat. All it contained was a few coins. As he was tipped off, he took out a bundle of bills, and the man jumped up. Then he snatched the money he was about to put in the box and openly counted the amount.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoPF4sKMVL
Soon after, the man handed over the black bag he had been cutting until just before. When he silently accepted it, he lay down as if he had finished his business.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl7E1BtN3g
He opened the bag and checked the contents. It contained the requested cannon phone, red ginseng drink, and a note written in a torn corner of a newspaper.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrIrdaejWK
While walking, he opened the lid of the red ginseng drink. A sealed external memory was attached to the inside of the lid. He took it off and installed it in the cell phone slot, and checked the stored data. Necessary materials were organized step by step. He put his phone in his pocket and hurried out of the underpass.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHHwNJySTf
After a while, he boarded an express bus bound for Taebaek. There was someone to meet before moving in earnest. While he was on the move, he reviewed the investigative materials related to Kim Young-hee in his memory.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0duJ861bnS
When Kim Young-hee turned 20, she moved to Japan via China. The following year, she left for New York, where she stayed for more than ten years, laundering her nationality. At the time of her entry, her status had been transformed into a perfect second-generation immigrant.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefbIQsn3pF
The investigation into Kim Young-hee was carried out as a cognitive investigation from the beginning. Her headquarters obtained her intelligence about her, and Kwon Taek-ju, as always, was assigned the task of arresting her from her superiors. After tracing various communication records such as her SNS and mail of her Kim Young-hee, she was able to confirm her order she received from North Korea.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYr2fcgfJO
However, wiretapping or wiretapping results have no effect as evidence. In order to prove Kim Young-hee's alleged duke, it was necessary to secure evidence by direct instruction. Even after catching all the fish, they could not be arrested because there was no proper evidence. At that time, it was Kim Young-hee who moved on her own. The investigation rushed to Busan and hit the scene where she met Lee Cheol-jin. everything went smoothly

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBfVAZ0ESe
But was it? Could I have missed something important? From the process of recognizing the existence of an agent to the investigation and arrest, it felt so easy. On the other hand, the aftertaste was not refreshing. Kim Young-hee and an army officer committed suicide, and Kwon Taek-ju and Yoon Jong-woo, who were put into the arrest operation, could not take responsibility for the case until the end for different reasons. As a result, the case was handed over to the prosecution with some evidence missing. The more he thought about it, the more he felt embarrassed and questionable.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OFYOFlv91
Looking at the report that Lim said he had submitted instead, it was a perfect fit. The data that Kim Young-hee was trying to hand over to Lee Cheol-jin was classified as a military secret, and those who had access to it were limited. The army officer who committed suicide was one of them, and he had a very close relationship with Kim Young-hee.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYPbPNiOnu

He insisted on his innocence to the end, but in his report, it was estimated that he committed suicide because he could not overcome psychological pressure because he had a high social status.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gabDoqYLh

There was no doubt, no evidence. Even the subject to refute has disappeared. At that point, he wondered if he was misunderstanding something.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZgTRUnwOJ
The bus reached its destination in three hours. The surroundings were already dark. He had to go in there for a while to get to the address Yoon Jong-woo wrote down. There were only two buses a day, so he decided to take a taxi.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQmehUZaZs
As soon as he saw the address, he had to agree to give the embarrassed driver a bonus, and he was able to set off. The taxi out of town ran for a long time on a winding mountain road. If he wants to reach the peak, go around and go down that much without stopping.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtn5v30KYX
When the navigation ended, the surroundings were completely dark.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPV9c9kBim
"The address seems to be somewhere here...."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcTkUX6Nsu
The taxi driver looked out the window with suspicious eyes. That would be the case, too, because there was not a single streetlight to be seen, let alone a nearby light. It was in the middle of a mountain where no one seemed to live. Still, Kwon Taek-ju paid the promised round-trip fare and got out of the car.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10sorsNGD1
Without hesitation, he walked out on a dark dirt road. The taxi quickly turned around and went back the way it came. The engine noise soon faded away, but he didn't mind. Being confined to an uninhabited island, he seemed to have gotten used to the dead silence.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl6ppxULTU
As he kept walking, even the bumpy dirt road disappeared and a mountain road with thick vegetation began. It was a hill with no hiking trails. Is there a hermitage in the mountains? Or have I really come to the wrong place?242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdP9WfVlgR
It was when he was pacing at the beginning without any certainty. He heard the sound of a car door opening somewhere. Turning around, a man got out of an old truck buried in darkness. He looked like a forest ranger wearing a large vest and a hiking hat.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyphSjrwKK8
"Hey there. can't go on a designated hiking trail…."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbymJqIv6Hs
The man who tried to dissuade Kwon Taek-ju hesitates.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqywRjNaYjG
".....Huh? Who is this?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvcSVlhY0Y
"It's been a while, Doctor."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Mehe0d1Z
He recognized the man first and said hello. The man who was surprised by the unexpected reunion soon softened his face.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIBhiXBvHA
"What are you doing here? You didn't come to the mountain climbing in the middle of the night, did you?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBsOXRurxi
"Hey, I'm here to see the doctor."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OFUoXNTnQ
"What is Doctor? When was the last time you gave up on that life?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB5dxLCZ3J
Dr. Cho was also affiliated with the National Intelligence Service until two years ago. It was his job to manufacture high-tech equipment necessary for espionage activities. Because of the amount of operations he performed more than anyone else, he naturally built a friendship with him. But he hasn't seen him once since his retirement. It was partly because he was busy with work, but it was because he did not leave a single contact information.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo6jzaCQiL
"It's not like this here, let's go home."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMP1xT4Mof
At Dr. Cho's recommendation, he climbed into an old truck. When he started the engine, there was a noise like boiling phlegm.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBUtuKQW9w
"Could you come empty-handed?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59RcMzKnYq
"It can't be."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUIxHVkpuD
He shook the bag he was holding. Inside, the bottles collided and made a clear sound. Dr. Cho smiled contentedly.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0uu0w2kxx
"As expected, you are very good."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOwnV6qL9M
In addition, he will give him a chance to stay in the most shabby room in the country.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyF0fkQmJV
The old truck staggered through the darkness. After about 10 minutes, a small village came out. There were only five or six houses, but even those seemed to be few places where people actually lived. It was late and there were no lights on.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATr8tHz8As
The place where Dr. Cho was staying was in the most remote location. The front yard was full of unknown scrap metal. A stranger would mistake it for a garbage dump rather than a sanctuary.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sAnTg8peR
It wasn't much different from being inside the house. One side of the room was covered with a blanket, and the table, which was roughly covered while eating, was left unattended.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOFo38M4zl
"Sit down."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKjanoiVrg
He hung the clothes lying on the floor on the wall. In the meantime, Dr. Cho has been looking at the liquor store. The only side dishes were sour kimchi and tuna. Even so, the two of them gave and received, and quickly emptied two bottles of soju.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN39kcr8l0
"You really didn't come here to see this wrinkled face, are you? Why did you appear out of nowhere?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf2GHJGtFr
"I need some help."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqIt4HIN79
He answered honestly when asked. Dr. Cho smiled and stabbed him in the face.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgS6jJsNk9
"I left my fast-paced business and came to visit this old man….Are you going to move without the headquarters knowing?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gBvepujkI
"Yes. There are circumstances."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4gMxDCyC4
"I want to know what's going on? You should be able to make a living just because you retired, a public official."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLuiLJ5T62
Certainly, he couldn't just ask for help without explaining everything. He talked about the past as simply as possible.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDuh9wy0mo
Dr. Cho, who has been listening carefully, suggests another method.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbtPi3nIKC
"Wouldn't it be more comfortable to cover it up as if you didn't know about it? If you are worried about your future situation, you can try to negotiate with Manager Lim right now. What if you look bad on the upper line and then get blamed for being framed? You don't know about this floor period either. You're still young, so think carefully about which one will be more beneficial to you. I didn't really think you were the kind of person who would risk your life for justice, right?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcbIIOarZ2
"You saw it well, but I'm not in the mood to live quietly. If there was room for compromise, the head office wouldn't have hit you all the way. It seems to be nothing but a game of chicken."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8dkzEasB6
"Tsk tsk. You'll regret it when you're old. By the time your bones are dry, you will be ashamed of today's performance and waste it."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJuDqooGW3
"It's so bad that the doctor doesn't know. I must have gone through something after being abandoned in Russia. I've suffered damage that will last me for the rest of my life."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaVZuNKpby
He acted as if he was going to kill someone, but his mind was the best. Dr. Cho poured him another drink.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFWiDJrQfP
"So, would you like me to be your accomplice?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVSB2fbBNw
"If I get caught, I'll say it's my fault. If you have to, say that you were threatened by me."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTt3w7Tb3r
"Nothing."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjFioxgpj7
Pick laughed. Dr. Cho grumbled at Kwon Taek-ju as if he were looking at him as a nasty person.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFr1LgIdvX
"When I retired, I just wanted to live a normal, small life. The impure seed is messing around again."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nfYFUcURw
"Thank you."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbVnIWXBzK
"Don't say that, because you haven't decided yet. Let's start with the eyes first."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LxvEfc9Jy
Dr. Cho crawled to the bed and fell flat on his stomach. Before long, a sweet snoring sound came from him.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD3ax90z6Z
Kwon Taek-ju also put his back on the floor after putting away the dirty drinking table. How long has he been lying comfortably? He looked up at the low ceiling and slowly closed his eyes.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoLCRLtVFa
He doesn't remember how he fell asleep that night.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASTq0J0MBC
He wandered aimlessly through the back alleys of Moscow. Then he found a small bar without a signboard. Upon opening the door and entering, acrid cigarette smoke greeted Kwon Taek-ju. There was no ventilation at all, so the view was blurry. He walked further inside, breaking through the stuffy air. Every step he took, a tough gaze followed him. The eyes that looked at the fearless Asian were not to be desired.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmmX4tIG5N
He stood in front of the bar. The man who seemed to be the owner passed along the vodka as usual. He pushed the glass aside and demanded it all.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlFh3LTQ92
''I need a passport.''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NzlC55i3l
''Why are you looking for your passport here? As you can see, this is just a bar.''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLgj8uIViH
The man was ignorant. Chi, who was watching the two of them, giggled vulgarly. Some of them turned to the bar, twitching their huge bodies. There were also those who threatened by breaking their knuckles.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc71FvVjWr2
''I'm busy, so let's not waste each other's time.''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi09qQykjU
Despite Kwon Taek-ju's warning, the man split into pieces as if laughing. The sound of chairs being dragged came from behind. He lowered his head as he felt the back of his head tighten. One big fist cut through the air in vain. In an instant, he grabbed a wooden stool and hit him on the head. The hulking groaned and fell over.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH6jwr9nhg
The other men who saw the scene rushed at me without any hesitation. He put his back on the bar table and kicked both feet at the same time. After being kicked in the chest, the two men collapsed while sweeping the table behind them.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3G6sclAJR
Soon, the inside of the store became a mess. In an unexpected development, one of the men pulled out a knife. He licks his thin lips and squeezes his handle tightly. Two half-closed eyes gleamed. He crashed into it in an unexpected moment as if he was going to stab it at any moment.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAAhy6Pctg
But after a while, he flinched and stopped. It was because Kwon Taek-ju took out the colt and aimed it at his forehead. In an instant, all movement and noise in the store died down. The only thing that could be heard was the loud breathing of the excited man.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEywSK6I4kK
The guy who had been peeping at the gap with his eyes rolling suddenly brandished a knife. He easily dodged his attack and he pulled the trigger.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6loZkkHl7k
''Keah!''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3HqLdA7oS
The knife fell with a clear gunshot. Its owner grabbed his right hand, from which his fingers had been blown off, and threatened to die. He picked up the missing knife and stuck it vertically into the bar table. Unable to control the force applied to the knife, it swayed from side to side. The energetic shop owner reluctantly chinned the back of the bar. He followed him in.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ENNeggwuX
As he might have guessed, the room was equipped with sundry forgery facilities. From identification cards such as passports to various certificates and passes, the types of transactions were indeed diverse. He took a passport photo on the spot and paid half the fare in advance. He decided to hand it over when he received the remaining passport. He gave him some extra money and asked for a train ticket to Beijing.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g2U7o2Sr6
That evening, he received a third-class ticket for the Beijing-bound train and a forged passport. The passport with the unfamiliar name and personal information written on it was Japanese, and even to Kwon Taek-ju, it looked like a gimmick. As he was paying the balance, the shopkeeper hinted.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2br36cKlKp
''I heard someone is looking for Asians who want to forge passports. Is that you?''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xv6FIFC3w
''Who?''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPZu8bgVg0
''Psyche Bogdanov.''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr6OdnX66Y
In an instant, his heart skipped a beat. It wasn't unexpected. He thought that Zenya would come after him to retaliate for the blow he suffered. Even so, the news that he was actually moving made his heart pound with two bats.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ5YOfVYET
Zenya was clearly predicting how Kwon Taek-ju would move. If he caught him again, then it would be really difficult to preserve his life. If he managed to find even the pub used by Kwon Taek-ju, it would only be a matter of time before his tail was caught.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9clygyOpW
First, he got on the train while the shop owner watched. Soon the train closed all the doors and left the platform. The shop owner watched the scene until the end and went back. Kwon Taek-ju, who was watching for an opportunity inside the train, immediately opened the window and jumped onto the railroad tracks. He was able to avoid injury thanks to his lack of speed.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZA3aJMsHF
He hid as it was and moved to the local airport. Then he bought a flight to Shanghai with cash. The immigration officer looked at the passport here and there and stamped it without much restraint. A sigh of relief escaped.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw0EUwSzmZ
He couldn't relax even after boarding the plane. He didn't know how nervous he was in that short time preparing for takeoff. Soon the boarding gate closed, and the crew headed to their respective seats. The aircraft, fully prepared, began to slowly reverse.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozmUGCSwOI
He's finally leaving the boring Russia. Everything went smoothly until the aircraft, which was moving toward the runway, came to a halt.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBRsqJm2VV
The cabin crew hurriedly gathered in the galley. Passengers also looked around the elongation in an unusual atmosphere.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig8FHn8033
After a while, the in-flight announcement came.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdd5MKTX42
''I would like to apologize to the passengers. Takeoff will be delayed due to an urgent search request by the airport police. We ask for the understanding and cooperation of all passengers.''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqSm4EzRjz
The eyes of the passengers all turned to the window. He saw an official vehicle running in the distance. The aircraft soon moved off the runway and into a separate stand.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6RWltmAyH
Emergency stairs were quickly connected.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV55q4uj76

Someone came up slowly through it. Suddenly, his heart thumped. His mouth was dry because of the unknown ominous feeling.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUf4UT5GU7
He turned his head to the window on the other side. It can't be, it's a useless worry. He denied the dominant idea that kept inflating his body. Finally entering the cabin, he walked slowly down the aisle. All eyes were on him, and he couldn't help but notice.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi70DHQ04G2
Finally, his steps stop abruptly. He was still looking away, but he was able to realize his true identity at once. Because of the unique scent that penetrated into the nostrils at once.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS1Zmw3Q2K
He couldn't bear to look back at him. It felt like every cell in his body froze.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8BdAE3YtR
''Did you think you could escape like this?''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBXPqUP1OV
Every single one he spat out was stuck like a needle. The conversation went cold. As his ears went blank, he heard a beep in his ears.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCE5mlbAfL
His cold hands gripped his wrists like handcuffs. When he looked back in amazement, the passengers who had filled the plane were gone, buried in darkness. All that was left was Kwon Taek-ju and the guy who restrained him. He whispered grimly, gripping his bones as hard as he could crush them.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xd5lpcdjg
''I can't go, the owner of the house.''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3SxMWvzqz
".....Omg!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q2DVbfw26
He took a deep breath and opened his eyes. His eyesight widened terribly. Moldy wallpaper and a damp, bumpy ceiling caught his eye. Where was this? As he calmly retraced his thoughts, he remembered that he had visited Dr. Cho.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVvsuPW7ml
Beads of sweat stood on the tip of his thinly swaying eyelashes. Goosebumps all over his body, and his heart beat fast and heavy. When he got up, a cold sweat ran down his back. The brow furrowed at the terrible sensation. There is no time to settle down, and the bloated energy soars. He raised the back of his hand and quickly covered his mouth. His nausea was barely swallowed, but his breathing and beating grew more violent.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEWVJIC56Y
Was it a dream? He didn't expect Zenya to let him go. He's not in the mood to just leave the guy who gave him a shot, and at some point, the guy's attitude towards himself has strangely changed. If I'm not grossly mistaken, that's….

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkpqSXWLlk

Inadvertently advancing the idea, he hurriedly brushed it off. Seeing that he has useless thoughts, he wishes he had suffered less.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34OJwIRcgK
Much of the content of the nightmare was similar to the actual process of escaping Russia. That was until he got off the train and boarded a plane to Shanghai at the local airport. However, he never faced Zenya.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodbzqZn0CH
When he falsified his passport in Shanghai and entered Korea, he used a relatively less vigilant ship. It was because he guessed that if Kwon Taek-ju himself had fallen for someone's conspiracy, it would be difficult to enter the country.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC2ud79jME
The subconscious still couldn't let go of its guard against Zenya. Has he ever felt fear and anxiety toward a particular object? Even if he saw a ghost, he didn't seem to be as nervous and helpless as he is now. He tried to comfort his uncomfortably beating heart.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMADYB4aDT
He shook his head and cleared his mind. Looking back consciously, there was no Dr. Cho on the futon. It seemed to have happened early.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu97z5a13cc
He opened the creaking door and went outside.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24tzd79MER

The cool air of the early morning rushed deep into his lungs. Go down to the faucet and turn on the water. Ice-cold water gushed out. He filled his hands with water and splashed it on his sweaty face. After washing his face, his mind became much clearer. It was as if the accident circuit had frozen.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWvxhkKqpe
"The sun has risen in the middle of the sky, are you awake now?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfblolHxiN
He turned around at the sound of tongue clicking. Dr. Cho was leaving the table. He went quickly and received the award. It was a simple meal with only two kimchi and soybean paste stew with only sliced onions, potatoes, and zucchini.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeo5QEhZIe
He didn't have much of an appetite, whether it was because of the alcohol he drank at night or because of a nightmare that upset his stomach, but he took a drink thinking about his sincerity.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrIbKPNV0K
"What kind of dream did you have that made you run out of breath? I wondered if I had to call an ambulance all night, how worried I was."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33MEjvMtzv
"........"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVBzbRj3ym
He heard the sare and coughed. He almost spewed what he was chewing on. He couldn't answer, so he just gulped down the water. She didn't even have a dirty dream, but he was embarrassed to be stabbed. At the unusual reaction, Dr. Cho widens his eyes. He wasn't late, but he didn't listen with a spiteful grin.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EV8SKIQpI
"By the way. Are your thoughts the same even after sleeping through the night? Do you want to do that reckless thing?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFqdZSkFc9
"Yes."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q4Wpmd75G
He shook his head in reply without hesitation.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBxsLzKHxd
"I can't help it. Tell me what you want. I will prepare it right away."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu4QjBHKnl
"Thank you."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSglMPQHQC0
"It's going to be pretty tough. Even if I help, you will have to fight alone in the end."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYYl2MyWBf
He silently nodded. Dr. Cho looked at Kwon Taek-ju with disapproval, followed him, and took the lead. He took his truck to the nearby hills. Dr. Cho, who parked the car at the foot of the mountain, climbed up the mountain path with familiarity. The path was the road, but it was a slope with no trace of anyone passing through it. It seemed that even the elk would not go that way.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkfsMM2wRB
After climbing for about an hour, a small cabin appeared. Intuitively, he could tell that it was Dr. Cho's personal laboratory. Inside, like a house, there were all sorts of odds and ends. They were items that were easily accessible on a daily basis, such as pens, lighters, neckties, and hats, but felt unusual because the place was a place.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI6zt1Cbpe
Dr. Cho suddenly showed a pen to Kwon Taek-ju, who was preoccupied with looking around the cabin.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Q7lLpqvO
"It's a device that can deflect or move a laser in parallel. It's a simple principle, but it will be quite useful."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDIwRL7f2E
As if to demonstrate, he chinned the curtain. He closed the blackout curtain behind him. Soon, it became dark inside the cabin.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT9SrPbOyF
When Dr. Cho manipulated the computer, dark green lasers emanated from all directions, forming a net. It seemed that the security device had been activated. Dr. Cho turned the cap of the pen and brought it towards the laser. Then, like metal pieces attracted by a magnet, the entire laser began to move along the pen. It seemed that with that alone, most security devices could be rendered useless.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNOj4TUJar
Dr. Cho said that it could be used like this, and then threw a target designator attached to the gun. He turned on the laser and aimed it at his heart. Then he disrupted the laser again with the same pen from before. The red lasers bizarrely refracted or extended completely upwards.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa41Gs6fAD
After the explanation, Dr. Cho passed the pen to Kwon Taek-ju and opened the curtain. He then took care of it and took care of the things he needed.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWvnypmvhb
"Here, this looks like a normal laptop, but it's a machine that can create artificial skins, fingerprints, iris lenses, etc. A perfect real-life implementation is possible with just a simple scan. The stick over here is as soft as clay, but if you push it into the hole, it quickly hardens into its shape and can duplicate any key. By the way, what did you ride all the way here?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsf5MHJ8T1
Ask questions instead of happily introducing his inventions. Let's look at the question, and point to the small monitor under the table.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lC9XrNBUD
"The detection dogs have already sniffed it."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebucRXva9d
The monitors showed soldiers and police officers climbing through thick trees. It seemed that the location was exposed.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ2g5avNFC
Dr. Cho took out his bag and held it to Kwon Taek-ju. Kwon Taek-ju also put his hands and feet together and swept cutting-edge devices into it.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oRRMpIXYT
"If you get caught, I will state that I gave up my things under threat from you."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpuoTX7twj
Dr. Cho asked Taek-ju Kwon to lead him to the emergency exit. When he nodded, he patted him on the back and said, "Now look." He bowed his head in greeting and hurriedly escaped through the emergency exit. He lowers his body and makes his way quickly through the thick brush.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhUEy1k4uG
Dr. Cho watched for a moment and then locked the door. The desk that was pushed aside is also moved to its original position and the emergency exit is completely hidden.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA7ExcV4cc
When everything was over, there was a knock on the door from outside. Looking out the window, he saw that the newly arrived military and police were breathing heavily. Dr. Cho, who opened the door without hesitation, did his duty as a forest ranger.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyzkyh4uTK
"You must have had a hard time coming up, but you have to go down right away. This is an area where entry is restricted."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvtaxMpSmN

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2TlRvyMX8
Department of English Language and Literature, Korea University Professor Yoon Jin-ae's office. A knock on the closed door gave permission to enter. Opened the door. Professor Yoon's gaze moves from the monitor to the door. As if he had guessed that it would be a student or teaching assistant, he looked at the visitor with a stunned look.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHLMxzIQlN
"How did you come?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UiGeQYp2b
The middle-aged man bowed his head and greeted me.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeXkBq5t9z
"I have a few questions about Professor Kim Young-hee. Is it okay if I come in?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf6s2B2K8h
Professor Yoon's face hardened.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSw2K9gMOb
"Well. I don't know what you were expecting, but I don't know much about him. Everything I knew was fake, I have nothing more to say. So I just want you to come back."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5fKxucoAU
He draws a line while showing an annoying expression. But the man did not back down quietly.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jR80hd5zO
"I beg you. It only takes a moment."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpVjasZ3BM
"Who are you? Are you a reporter?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dBOr4Mevy
"Ah, my introduction is late."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5JUzMerwK
The man pulled out his ID and showed it to Professor Yoon, who was wary.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy17t1R0Tf
"I am the prosecution investigator in charge of the Kim Young-hee case. He came out for a while because he had something to reinforce in the trial."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjjW8aJOf8
The man who explained that had the same face as Chief Kim. But in reality, it was Kwon Taek-ju disguised as him. The ID card and appearance were so fake that even his family would have a hard time distinguishing the authenticity.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeEP2b8ejW
Professor Yoon sighed as if he was frustrated.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr8pkrfYco
"Really, I don't know anything? I went to a conference a few years ago and learned about it through the introduction of another professor. We exchanged a few words when we heard that a new member had joined, and just then, the appointment to our school was confirmed. That's why we stayed close, but we didn't know each other's private lives. But that was all camouflage, what more can I say to the investigator?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVjIFi77pS
It is not uncommon for people to not know that their spouse is a spy even if they have lived in the same house for decades. Even more so, it was impossible for her only colleagues to notice Kim Young-hee's duke activities. What Kwon Taek-ju was trying to confirm was much more trivial.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvwkgdHDhv
"At the time of the arrest, Kim Young-hee was wearing a ring on the ring finger of her left hand. She's a product that wears very little, but I was wondering if the professor would know what kind of ring it was."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OiT5yfQiI
"I heard that you are getting married soon. There was a man I was dating. I don't know who he is, but if he's on the phone, I've seen him a few times."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHgEETFwCT
Could the man be a dead army officer? But he had a family. Social status and reputation management are important for agents. From that standpoint, it seemed that she would not openly spill the word about her imminent marriage to a married man. If the army officer had been approached with the intention of stealing confidential information, the meeting between the two should have been more private. At least to the extent that his co-workers wouldn't notice.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm1QwC1tia
If so, is there anyone else? He was sure of his heart, but he didn't make a hasty decision. This time, we have to dig out step by step.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tfyodeZd1
"Do you know where she bought that ring?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwMtWs2kmy
"Usually I don't know. The man would have bought it on his own."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfZVcuIwMY
"....But do you know?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfXSFYThlX
"Yes. She is the wife of a member of the same society, that jewelry designer."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOoXgUQb4h
Professor Yoon immediately took out a business card and handed it to him. He could feel his sincerity asking him to stop now when he said, "Would you visit me?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPUSUOGnjs
He immediately went to the jewelry boutique that Professor Yoon told him about. The manager welcomed him. When he sees Kwon Taek-ju in a suit, he leads him to the consultation desk.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTzs27u2bY
"Excuse me, sir. What product are you looking for?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8bOPWISjt
"I'd like to see some rings."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcghuhYUp41
"Ah, that's right. Are you going to use it when you propose?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkJpFv3cRN
When asked to guess, he only nodded.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZAm0jWOhw

Perhaps he thought it was because he was shy, so the manager smiled and took out the request form.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3qjOICaIM
"Do you have any special designs you want?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL3mJhRYT1
"I don't know much about jewelry, so could you refer me to some other products?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2zdpWGmMZ
"Sure."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4eS3NTk9B
The manager gladly took out the tablet and showed the portfolio. She flips through product photos one by one and pours out descriptions that are close to praise. He sighed and looked at the photos carefully.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOIx97wvbV
"Don't you know what the prospective bride likes? Some people like fancy things, while others prefer simple things. The latter omits small details and instead raises the carat...."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsGIOtKuUa
Then there was a picture that caught my eye. It must have been. It was the same ring Kim Young-hee was wearing.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZUHuu8gEV
"This ring….."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCer9PJcW8
"Oh, do you like that design?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VzRvKUUkU
The manager, who had been embarrassed by the sullen reaction from beginning to end, was pleased. However, soon after looking up related information, it became a difficult expression.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJEQKCMZsK
"I'm sorry, but the ring was specially designed as a gift for an acquaintance. It's not a regular product, it's a kind of work that has been inspired by and made, so we won't be able to make it the same. Instead, I think we can direct it with a similar feeling, how about it?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nf0MR6IXI
"When did you make this ring?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdLpITYwqK
"Hmm. I don't know, but it must have been less than half a year."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxVV0dk3IN
"Isn't this a coupling?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMYdq0lpYj
"Yes. This is suitable for marriage proposals or gifts."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE9MNqPc8q
"Then they must have bought it from the man's side?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGraAoyNP1
"What….Is that right?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mcXGwcSjg
The manager's smile collapses at the question that follows like a newspaper. There was a subtle suspicion in both eyes. She seemed to have to move slowly.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT9n9D5lSl
"Wait, go to the bathroom... ."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnrenK2AaT
"Oh, yes. It is over there."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP9I7EEwhv
Headed in the direction the manager pointed. He felt a stare on his back. Pretending not to know, he folded into the bathroom aisle.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EnkQZDLO3
Just then the phone rang. The manager finally looked away and went to answer the phone. In the meantime, he went out alone again. The CCTV that he checked when he entered was installed in the center of the ceiling. Since the products handled are expensive, it was a camera that recorded all around the store in real time. Even if the built-in memory is deleted periodically, there will be a backup file.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgdCXYfNhf
He heard the voice of the manager who was on the phone from time to time. Is she responding to complaint calls, or does she just say sorry over and over again? Concentrating on that, he seemed to forget Kwon Taek-ju's existence for a while.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW2bL8MV4K
In the meantime, he arrived in front of the studio. He sneaked down on the doorknob, but it was locked. He took out the clay stick given to me by Dr. Cho and pushed it through the keyhole. After waiting a few seconds and turning it carefully, the lock was released. He went inside, being careful not to knock on the door.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNYUmUrkAb
As expected, the computer was there. Turn on the power and insert the USB into the slot. Soon an input window appeared. The hacking program was executed by entering a specific command. Specify the backup range as the entire hard disk and hit enter. A bar graph appeared on the monitor indicating the progress of the task.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UUgurhoRH
While waiting, he checked the dynamics outside the door. The manager seemed to be still on the phone. He felt sorry for her who still only apologized over and over again.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIvOz96HF4
The copy was quickly completed. He put the USB in and turned off the computer. The mouse comes out after arranging it in its original position. After locking the door back with a stick of hardened clay, he forgot to stop by the bathroom to wash his hands.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nhKOPlQdM
"I am very sorry, sir. If you visit us when you have time, we will reward you as you wish. No, no. I'm not trying to get over it, but there are other customers in the store right now….yes? You are alone. This is an absurd statement. Yes, yes. I fully understand how upset you must have been."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd737HQrvW
He went back to his seat and pretended to pack his coat and took a picture of the ring in his portfolio. Then he walked over to the manager who was still holding on to the receiver. When their eyes met, he made an apologetic expression.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RRzmHlLKS
"Looks like you're busy, but I'll come back next time."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ouhAFzB6
"Yes? No, I…."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oAziP8D7z
There is no time to dissuade her, and the truth on the other side of the receiver raises her voice. A tired look was evident on the manager's face. He left the store behind him, who asked him to come back next time.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bdGXxEpFM
As he was stepping out, his phone rang. The only person who knew the number was Yoon Jong-woo, who helped open it. He answered the phone while walking nonstop.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJE58NuJkS
–Senior, did you succeed?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfNAJVOwN5
"Thanks to you. You're pretty good at the truth, aren't you? Isn't it a skill you've only done once or twice?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCHg34fGt7
–Is that an insult?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtdo7tsqtu
"It's up to you to hear the compliments."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUnk3ngH45
–The ring, did you check it? Were you really there?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Nx6Yjfq9
"Huh. found the ring. Now I just need to find someone."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBQff4AuPC
If there was a hidden truth, the clue would have been contained in the USB. He'll be in touch, he ended the call with Yoon Jong-woo. The stride became even larger.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROvjk7YlFD
Among the backed-up files, he checked the sales record. Quarterly sales data were meticulously organized. According to the manager, Kim Young-hee's ring was made about half a year ago. The search range was set to the fourth quarter of last year, and transaction details, bank account deposit and withdrawal records, and card sales tables were imported. One after another, Kim Young-hee's ring model name was searched.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PUCLkDDrr
Two results soon emerged. Among them, he clicked from the transaction statement. The credit card information for the ring was written on it. The card's owner was not a dead army officer. Still, oddly enough, the name caught his eye.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM4smWC2jx
"This….."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLSOHBU1LS
Suddenly, a person with the same name, a completely unexpected person comes to mind. It wasn't a common name, but it wasn't very rare either. Assuming that the person was involved, the doubts were mostly resolved. However, it was only a home. He had to be careful.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1zRVO6WBw
CCTV recordings were brought in for clear confirmation. In order to prepare for an emergency, a year's worth was stored intact. Among them, the video of the date matching the sales slip was played.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tL67Sxkte
From the morning of the day, quite a few guests came and went. The appearances of the manager and designer he had just met also caught his eye. However, no one in particular caught my attention. The video was rotated at 4x speed. He looked at it for an hour and then stopped. The screen that passed by quickly was rewinded and played back at normal speed.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDCA9LGNv2
There was a man and a woman who had just passed lunchtime to visit. The designer personally came out and greeted the two. The quality of the video was not very good, but the woman was clearly Kim Young-hee. However, the man hovered around the edge of the angle of view, unsure of who it was. However, he felt a deep sense of deja vu from that silhouette.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlt7MAu8Mu
As usual, he sighed as he tried to enlarge the screen. The place where Kwon Taek-ju himself was was a shabby PC room. It was impossible to enlarge the recorded screen, as well as to supplement the image quality. It seemed that he needed Yoon Jong-woo's help.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzFeQhVKC0
He put the video on the web hard drive and logged into the shooting game that Yoon Jong-woo enjoys. Leave his ID, password, and requirements on a note. Before leaving, he completely deleted his computer usage records.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB8B2fDmr4
As soon as he came out of the PC room, he entered the main street. The streets were crowded ahead of the official work hour. He naturally mingled with the crowd and walked.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhGExGppwZ
"........."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwGwqbiDQ2
How far did it go? He was conscious of the back of the strange feeling. Pedestrians overflowed on the road. Some of those many people could have the same destination. However, it was strange that he followed me while staring at the back of his head. Just in time, the faces of those following were reflected in the window of the car that was turning right, a total of three people. Everyone was watching Kwon Taek-ju closely.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OJgpqWADK
There was a subway station entrance nearby. He pretended to be passing by, then suddenly turned and entered.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUyrtPeGP8
"Follow me!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSIxA1L20O
The pursuers no longer pretended to be passers-by and hurriedly ran. They fiercely pursue Kwon Taek-ju, even pushing the people who come up like waves.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV3p3eNpKY
Kwon Taek-ju jumped over the turnstile. Then, avoiding the other passengers, he climbed onto the stair railing. It runs down a steep ledge without slowing down at all.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHog1qWEN4
When the pursuers reached the platform, Kwon Taek-ju was already gone. After exchanging silent signs, the men scattered in their respective directions. One of them went around and checked the faces of the passengers who lined up sparsely. Meanwhile, others continued to flock. An announcement soon came that the train had left the previous station. His heart was in a hurry.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp21VviNiVD
The man's gaze, looking around in dismay, is fixed on one spot. There was a man who held a newspaper high and covered his face. He lowered his footsteps and approached slowly. His hand had already dug into his jacket and gripped his gun.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYa88S8Gxo
Soon the train slid in. In an instant, he yanked the newspaper. Contrary to expectations, the newspaper came too easily. Without a chance to wonder, a sharp impact hits the neck.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrTonkk43T
".....Whoops!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7j2xOYwKt
He kicked the staggering man with his neck wrapped around him. Passengers were confused by the sudden violence. Other pursuers, noticing the commotion, hurriedly ran.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cDtP7MNMD
At that time, the doors of the train opened and people poured out. The pursuers were helplessly swept away by the raging crowd. Watching that scene, he took a leisurely step back and boarded the subway. The pursuers broke through the crowd and tried to get closer somehow. But the door was closed first. The men who missed Kwon Taek-ju in front of their noses vented their anger at the awkward screen door.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJUPlLQ4P0
He leaned on his tired body for a while. The vibration of the subway running on the tracks was transmitted intact. The men must have called for backup by now, so he had to get off at the next station. He was calculating how to get out of the siege when his phone suddenly rang. The sender was undoubtedly Yoon Jong-woo.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQl6ieTIZH
"Uh. Have you checked?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zpxXYyMy2
–Senior... Isn't this synthetic or something?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTmLWSYhg4
Yoon Jong-woo asked in a bewildered tone. Wasn't the name found on the sales slip the same person?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTze5m7XKJ
"Why is that?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRFjbu09A2
– …..I think you'd better see it for yourself. I sent it now.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJGQ44RBcz
Check the image he just sent. It seemed that part of the video was captured and corrected. The person pictured there was undoubtedly someone Kwon Taek-ju knew. The person who promised Kim Young-hee a future is not a dead army officer. It was just a gimmick to hide the real thing.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8J9DWEMAm
He put the phone to his ear again.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzSDyDI34F
"The back of my head is tingling."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhrxlRmudi
–Certainly this one fits better. What are you going to do now? Shall we send this data to the prosecutor in charge?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZmblRxzuD
"No, not yet."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtlyVn25BU
–Why? Where else can you find more convincing evidence than this?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIFKBRDC3U
He arrived at the next station. After taking a careful look around, he hurriedly got off.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JjU7ybYGH
"This is not enough. I need something more decisive that I can never get out of."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAVKLwEg4D
–What is it?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZvEVXnzQ4
"I'll have to look for it. I'll contact you again, so until then, Jong-woo, look around for that guy."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX2G8940r7
Now he said it openly. Before Yoon Jong-woo could say anything, he said, "I believe it," and hung up the phone one-sidedly.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKuF78VV0R
He was just about to pass through the turnstile, mixed with the others. The phone started ringing again. On the screen that he glanced at, the phrase 'restrict the display of the caller ID' appeared. If it was Yoon Jong-woo, he wouldn't have to do that. No one else knows the number. He was reluctant.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqHwtfrL9Z
He put my phone in, ignoring the incoming call. Soon the vibrations subsided. He was about to pass it off as nothing special, but before he could even take a single step, his pockets stirred. This time, the caller was to 'restrict the display of the calling number'.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX8wzQoED3
Who is it? He glared at his cell phone, which was seldom quiet, and touched the call button. It wasn't anything special. He just put his phone to his ear and held his breath.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9eekzw1m2
–.......

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvFIMrtf3i
For some reason, he didn't hear anything for a long time. He thought the phone might have been disconnected, but the call connection time continued to pass.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CKFPhYnf2
He brought the phone back to his ear. When he concentrated all his nerves, he could hear the faint breathing. The opponent also seemed to be keenly aware of Kwon Taek-ju's movements.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sG6xv7wou
"Who are you?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbwlMC9m2T
He growled. Even though it was a rather intimidating tone, he burst out laughing on the other side of the phone. At the same time, his heart sank. It couldn't have been, but the sound of laughter ringing in his ears was quite familiar.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavbAj68enX
Is it a guy?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ixEWQPadV
Vague advice creates a big wave inside. His heart was beating wildly, ready to break through his flesh. His pulse was racing wildly. Her spine suddenly became chilly, and the hand holding his cell phone was sweating. Even in that situation, he couldn't bear to hang up the phone. The accident circuit stopped and he couldn't do anything.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlMSWjvq0C
Soon the call ended. His phone, which he hurriedly checked, was switched to the standby screen.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeZbuaKr5V
Is he really a bastard? How the hell242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xhuiN8jQ6
I had a vague memory.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLE04iu5GY

When he was staying in Irkutsk, he contacted Yoon Jong-woo using the cell phone Zenya had saved. He was asking him to find out about him. And he has a program that spreads hacking viruses easily. If he had succeeded in spreading the program to Yoon Jong-woo's cell phone, he would be able to make phone calls as he does now.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gPVOkMsZ8
"....Shit."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1s6l2vFSy
He gripped his throbbing chest tightly. His strong heart, which he had always been proud of, went berserk even at the thought of Zenya.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd3uEs6jSX

Is it because I am the first subject to succumb to brute force? Or am I afraid of his retaliation?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfrRkPRlB0
No, the current anxiety did not originate from such simple feelings. It was more complex and lethal. Something that had been threatened at every moment while he was with him seemed like it would crumble the moment he met him again. It's been less than a month since he ran away from that despondency.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop6gMMylGL
The sound of laughter he heard a while ago lingered in his ears. Suddenly, he felt a deep gaze, and he looked around again. However, people hurriedly hurried on his way, and no one paid attention to Kwon Taek-ju. Maybe it wasn't Zenya. Maybe it's just my impatience. Try to rationalize it like that.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXeOX6dkyT
He pulled up his collar to cover his face and hurriedly got out of there.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoF237oEr8
Director Lim's eyes fly to the door at the sound of a knock he's been waiting for. Without replying in particular, the door opened and a man came inside.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNmCWcK3D2
".....I missed it."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQaKklo9dK
He hit the armrest at the meaningful report. He only recently learned that Kwon Taek-ju had secretly returned. However, he did not come to the headquarters or return to his home. He seemed to be digging into what had happened to him.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xJBJMFQtq
Immediately, he lowered the wanted list and started tracking. He also strengthened surveillance of his aides, including Kwon Taek-ju's mother and Yoon Jong-woo. Then, he found out that Jong-woo Yoon frequently contacts a certain number recently. He succeeded in finding Kwon Taek-ju by monitoring the location of the number in real time, but was unable to arrest him. After that, his cell phone was turned off. It's the same in Taebaek, and every time he misses it right in front of his nose.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ71WbmAwJp
"So, what did he do in the PC room?"

"In the meantime, I didn't know if he even deleted the PC usage records. Why don't we use Yoon Jong-woo as bait instead?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAJtlCmLzY
It wasn't a bad idea, but he shook his head. The opponent is an agent who is good at chasing or being chased. Cell phones are off more often than when they are on. While using a public PC, it erases its traces so that even experts cannot restore it. He knew exactly how to pursue the headquarters, so he cleverly escaped. There was a high probability that he would not appear even if he tried to bring him down using Yoon Jong-woo.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz95d60tpZ8
"Okay, go out. Report immediately when location is known."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5m4xmftCz
"Yes."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzhzEjkr4p
The man bowed politely and went out. He looked at his watch while washing his face. It was late at night. For several days he didn't even go to work and lived at the headquarters. He didn't even have clothes to change into anymore, so he felt like he had to go home. He leaves the office with his overcoat loosely draped over his chair.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCmieKgvYN
He took the elevator down to the underground parking lot. There were only a few cars of duty officers standing there. He crossed the empty space and headed to area C where he parked the car.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99JwrwNYuE
He was about to take the key out of his pocket and unlock it beforehand. Suddenly, the driver's door slammed open.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlAvRrxk3A
"I'm back, boss."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeUKw8YdwM
It was none other than Kwon Taek-ju who got out of Lim's car. He had no idea how he got to headquarters when he was being chased.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux794QB2Wd
"Long time no see."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkfZMNcDu9
After he hesitated for a while, Manager Lim calmly greeted him. Kwon Taek-ju nodded his head dryly. He never shows aggression or shows dislike. There was no intention to threaten Lim in the first place. He just wanted to hear him speak.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPTbrrT3de
Director Lim pretended nothing had happened.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPf6ZpCBqh
"How is your mother?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoxRPIHCc8
"Well. I think the manager knows that better than I do."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSORQAOV9u1
Director Lim smiled at the bony reply. He let go of the body that was leaning on his car. Then, one step at a time, he slowly approached. Director Lim's face is soon stained with the shadow of Kwon Taek-ju.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yDtVNuXEd
He held up his cell phone in front of him.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YyuH5juo6

Photos of rings from jewelry boutiques filled the screen. Manager Lim acted ignorant this time as well.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEbVve0Vcz
"What is this?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn8ttBUubJ
"You know this better than I do, right?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92mgIi4JRU
"I don't know what you mean."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLunewt3jmp
"Then would you know if you saw this?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY4hJyxHWM
A new picture appeared on the screen. It was a CCTV capture image sent by Yoon Jong-woo. It was elaborately retouched, so he was able to distinguish the person in the picture at a glance. Manager Lim, who had been carefree all along, hardened his face.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgZytUxeIw
"When I beat Kim Young-hee on the ferry to Shimonoseki, what kind of ring was she wearing on her left hand? I wanted to go out of my way even if I saw a blind eye like me. It must have been something meaningful to Kim Young-hee herself. If not, would she have brought it to that rough place? He said that a ring like that shouldn't be scratched in the slightest. There's little wear and tear on it, so it looks like it was bought recently. The ring was not found at the scene? Even her handkerchief, which she kept as a gag from Kim Young-hee, is gone."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6DPb4qd8h
"So?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgEVrEsDcC
"So it is. I figured out why it disappeared. From where did she buy the ring and who paid for it? Were you a bit surprised? I couldn't help but think that the manager had committed an affair without the knowledge of his wife in a foreign country. But it should have been a bit bigger. Who decides to tie up and kill her cheating woman and her junior because she doesn't want to get divorced? I don't know if there was a temptation that was harder to resist. Then, when I saw this CCTV video, the answer came out."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1JuxlBqVK
After a while, he looked at Director Lim.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohzNITDCJx
"Why did you do that to me? Deputy Chief 1 says that if this work goes well, he will give me a special promotion?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwFxADEfV0
Director Lim was not shaken by the resentful criticism. He just looked at Kwon Taek-ju's cell phone with a calm expression. The person in the capture that filled the screen was the first deputy chief.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe25tO3pbeF
Recently, news came that the resignation of the current head of the National Intelligence Service was imminent. Rumors spread that he would fill the resulting vacancy as one of the three deputy chiefs. Each department was busy with secretly accumulating achievements and washing records. This was because when a direct superior was promoted, the status of the subordinate departments he was in charge of also changed. No institution, no organization, no matter how many people gathered, they could not get out of company politics.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlcFkrUPIr
Meanwhile, Lim, who was directly under the 3rd deputy head, joined hands with the 1st deputy head. It was clear that he was guaranteed a huge advantage that he could not obtain through legitimate means.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdpM5NWYwZ
"Now I understand what nonsense you are talking about. Is that the only thing you've come back and messed around with? As you said, even if Deputy Director 1 had a deep relationship with Kim Young-hee, who died, nothing will change. Even between married couples, it is not uncommon for couples to not know that the other person is an operative. That doesn't mean the other side is equally guilty. Isn't it a sin to love someone who is determined and hidden?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYKEKBIP92
In that part, Director Lim was absolutely right. All Kwon Taek-ju found out was that the first deputy director had a personal relationship with Kim Young-hee. In order to incriminate Deputy Director 1, he had to find evidence that he was closely involved in Kim Young-hee's death. Or, it was necessary to prove that he received direct orders from North Korea and contributed to stealing classified information. It wasn't easy.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ni22x36nb
Director Lim smiled triumphantly.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY5oCZl6l6
"Wouldn't it be much easier to reveal your sins than that? There's no way to prove that you went to Russia on a mission. Moreover, it is all true that I met Psych Bogdanov, a member of the Russian intelligence service, and that I have been hanging out with him all along. Isn't it a world where only what you can see is the truth?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QhW2sWrWr
"I'm not here to see who has the advantage."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2rp81ZbWw
"Or did you come to say goodbye? I also wanted to meet you at least once before you were arrested. To give you some advice, to give up early before you see anything worse. A spy who was stealing in this land with stupid words, it's just that he died. What's such a big deal that there's no tomorrow? It's still not too late. Why don't you give yourself up and try to adjust the nature of the crime or the sentence instead of raising the job?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A8NFKpv8c
Kwon Taek-ju's chin shook. The eyes grew even fiercer.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpvLyncQMA
"If you were at all interested in position or power, I wouldn't be like this. He said he didn't like it because it was unnecessarily intense. Then shouldn't it be out of the plate? Did you really come into this NIS to protect the country? You are too naive."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim246M9dcO
"....Oh, you're really going to get mad."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXJtWKRwKf
He was full of spirits. He was a fairly dependable boss, if not respectable. It was because he had been working together ever since he joined the NIS. Manager Lim was also the only person Kwon Taek-ju confided in about his family affairs. But to him, all of that was a good façade. He said he could give up anything for the sake of his own success.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6B6whdlVj
Kwon Taek-ju's colt touched Manager Lim's forehead with a limping sound. His complexion was already cold. Even though his life was at stake, Director Lim did not budge.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDDdziPYbW
"Then do you remember this saying? I can't accept the collapse of my career, where I always achieved 100%."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEgMSDcwlt
"Are you saying you're going to do it alone?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGGbeejyY2
"That means you can't die alone."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9S9S7OIRe
He pulled the trigger without hesitation. Manager Lim, who had been relaxing, tightened his whole body at that time. But for a long time, the surroundings was silent. Because his magazine was empty.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0aoCssPCf
Slowly bit the colt. Lim, who closed his eyes tightly, smiled dejectedly. He stared at him silently, then jerked away. A warning flew.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmowYEekuw
"If things go on like this, only the crime of leaking confidential information will not be applied. Trespassing, forgery of official documents, blackmail, and even attempted murder will be added."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLj39vL9nh
First of all, what does that mean? He looked back annoyed. At that moment, Lim pulled out his colt and pulled the trigger. The ricocheted bullet grazed Lim's shoulder and shattered his ceiling. Shortly thereafter, an alarm system was activated throughout the building. Director Lim held onto his shoulder and smiled contemptuously even as he staggered.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVXupGmYxA
Suddenly, the emergency exit becomes noisy.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8EJIROSO7

It seemed that the duty officers came running after hearing gunshots and a series of alarms.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ds7fjdkXw

Anyone looking at the current scene would have mistakenly thought that Kwon Taek-ju was trying to harm Lim.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSfxbJJENw
He hurriedly picked up the keys to the car that Lim had dropped. As he climbed into his car and started the engine, three or four workers came running from the emergency exit. One of them supported Lim, and the others all aimed at Kwon Taek-ju.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkXiETLOtr
"Stay still!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZS60pWdQD
"If it moves, shoot!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwECSTOg7UT
Despite the sharp warning, he stepped on the accelerator without hesitation. As the body of the car suddenly jumped out, the employees who were blocking the front also took shelter on both sides.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLX9eQvHGQ
A belated shot was fired at Kwon Taek-ju, who was running away. However, the unaided bullets only barely grazed the bumper, exhaust vents, and the side of the body. The car pushed away even the breaker that came down and quickly disappeared beyond sight.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j3RKVa9Br
He abandoned the car in the middle and walked aimlessly down the deserted market road.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmG85dtNII

Occasionally a patrol car could be heard from the side of the road. At such times, he hid himself in the dark for a while, and then moved again only when his presence subsided.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnnQl6mHkD
It was as if he had sandbags on his feet. His head was only awake, and he could not advance any thoughts. It was because he hadn't had a good night's sleep since he escaped from Zenya's island. He wanted to lay his body down for a while.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUr9e8PE4P
How far did I go? Suddenly, something caught on his foot. It was a standing sign for an inn. However, there were no similar places to be found around. Just in case, he looked into the alley like a side road. There was an old building presumed to be an inn. He went there without much hesitation.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BEliOzrCP
Perhaps it was in business, but the room was very quiet. The counter was also dark, so it seemed impossible to distinguish a person's face, whether inside or outside. The intermittent television noise only proved that there was an owner. He passed a 50,000 won bill through the narrow gap. Soon a key was sticking out.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKyQZwNzQe
He took it and went up to the second floor. As he passed through the hallway, the voices from other rooms leaked out. He heard an early meeting to see if he could rest comfortably.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7yCOIvpao
He went into his assigned room and turned on the light. The old fluorescent lamp flashed once, but it did not fully turn on and blinks frequently. Even so, the counter just closed the door without protesting. He slumps to the floor without taking off his shoes. A long exhalation broke out like a sigh. He lost all strength in his body.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJYcr4LyP3
Suddenly, he leaked state secrets and became an unscrupulous man who attempted to kill his boss. In order to prove my innocence, he had to dig up the tricks of Director Lim and Deputy Chief 1 to the end.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRY9uZS3s0
In the meantime, the phone call during the day bothered me. Hopefully not. Even though he continued to deny it, he couldn't shake off the growing anxiety. He was a guy who was in self-defense and always gave me back more than he got. He couldn't be sure that such a guy would have completely given up on Kwon Taek-ju himself.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbUK8j7p2I
What else happened to my mother? Ever since he saw her as she was being brought out of the police station, he has never been visited again. Because of the work with Lim, the surveillance would be stricter, so it would be difficult to see her from afar now.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6TG9K3cMv
Lie down on his back. He looked at the ceiling, which kept getting darker and brighter, and brushed his face. Really tired. His head was so complicated that it gave him cramps.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCOtNOYzFr
Running day and night in a noisy and busy world, he missed the depressing silence. By the time his consciousness faded away, he imagined being buried in a pure white snowy field.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ693rILPAVj
The door is open. The body was still in contact with the hard floor. A cool energy from the hallway rises up his legs. He tossed and turned in his sleep. But he didn't think to get up and close the door. Didn't I lock the door properly? His memory of him was unclear.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8MTd05smn
He suddenly feel uncomfortable. It was a question that stemmed from familiarity rather than unfamiliarity. Now, the cold that hit her whole body was unusual. His eyes were still closed, but he seemed to be able to see the hallway through his eyelids. What unfolded there was not darkness, but a snowy field.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrALvP5J7oy
Heavy snowflakes blew into the room. The surroundings were just quiet, so he couldn't detect any signs. Even so, he felt the need to get up quickly. It was because of a vague sense of crisis, as if the situation would develop in an unexpected direction. But he still doesn't know how to get out of this dream. He couldn't open his eyes just with the consciousness that he had to wake up.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1tn4eOZoG
At that time, he vaguely felt someone's presence.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfvLvpRvWy

He was startled, but fortunately it wasn't a big one. A young-looking boy was standing behind him. The sight evoked a strange sense of deja vu. The child wiped his eyes with the back of his federal hand. He looked like he was crying. Why are you crying? As soon as he asks him, a certain memory suddenly comes to mind. And soon he realized It was Kwon Taek-ju himself who made that child cry. The child held his hand so tightly that if he was caught, he would never be able to escape.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULP5POZR3M
The child suddenly turned his head. It was a face she had never seen before. Still, he thought he knew who it was. throbbing. His heart, which he had forgotten to even beat, was beating wildly. At the same time, an ominous feeling reared its head. A black flame called anxiety spread like wildfire.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmSIbG3BRE
He ran away. It was the moment when he was taking a backward step following the command of his instinct. The kid ran all over the place. He tried to back away, but his body lying like a corpse wouldn't budge. The body of the child who was hugged was like an ice field. He flinched and reflexively pushed the child away.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02BMeXVInt
However, the child did not come off as easily as before. He tried to root it out with all his might, but to no avail. It only added more force to the waist.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UV4Zxqz5Z
''Taek-ju, why... .''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTvrj8mEbI
A faint voice rings in his ears. He looked down bewilderedly. Then, the child disappeared, and Zenya appeared and held his whole body down.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7teFWsxmus
No, not you bastard. Even though he saw it with his own two eyes, he denied its existence. He doesn't sound like that. He can't even call him sadly like that.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EG4zDIIl7
The landscape then changed to a completely snowy field. The faint smell of McCallan and birch seemed to pass through his nostrils. The messy air calms down calmly. The whole field of vision was full of gnomes. He wasn't particularly restrained, but he couldn't move.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi2De5Cy2q
Because of that, he had to catch the gaze of the guy who was sinking. Emotions that didn't suit him overflowed with blue-eyed eyes.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc2cGLNXiT

His heart started beating out of control again.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN33F8rCOR

Everything was just an illusion, but only the heartbeat felt cramped and burdensome as if it were real. He couldn't even breathe.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UzD31rBGV
Suddenly, the man's face approached. For some reason, he couldn't dare to escape. He wasn't in a situation to be swept away by the atmosphere like before, but he just lay quietly under him. The two lips were barely touching. A cool energy rapidly spreads from the lips along all the blood vessels throughout the body. The limbs freeze.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9uGGx4Xtg
Why?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUeXmEw2Eb
The rebuking voice blew like a gust of wind. In an instant, an unknown tingling sensation pierced his entire body.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvUHBE7DtN
".......!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iCJcgybHW
His eyes opened instantly. Beads of sweat ran down the sides of his face and down his neck. The brow furrowed from the terrifying sensation.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaimWbg0QQN
It is said that if he has a lot of thoughts, his dream will become troubled, and the past few days have been a series of nightmares. He was beating so violently that his heart ached.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMJrNfwqMb

Like an autonomic nerve reflex, just looking at him puts you in a state of undoubted excitement. As far as the heart exercise was concerned, it seemed that there was a paper difference between fear and desire.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl8ZrhbeHH
His heart pounded and he took a hard breath.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaFN0VXUPL

His whole body was wet with sweat. Even though he desperately needed a shower, he didn't get up quickly and just lay down quietly.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySmBe7rW77
It was only after that that he recognized the prickly pain coming from a subtle place. The lower leg, looking down in surprise, stiffened.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4utzdrHYzr

Even after washing his eyes and looking at him again, his appearance did not change.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbUpdososs
For what…..

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P9ErDxplG
He tried to find another reason somehow, but the only thing he saw in his dream was Zenya. No matter how many times he thought about it, all he could do was rub his lips with him. no way. It's not like he just hit his head that much. He stared at his immature center. But he didn't flinch in the slightest. As if making fun of Kwon Taek-ju, he just shook his body. He tousled his hair annoyedly.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimFNuEchbJ
"Fuck, am I really a homo?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcJrWpHcVi
As he struggled with viciousness, he heard the sound of Bolmen from the next room. He even knocked on the thin wall and waited for it to be quiet.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBi4zzrsbP
At that moment, the window outside was dark. He must have slept well in a situation where he was running away. Why am I being chased both when I am awake and in my dreams? He looked like a beggar, he lamented and got up. leave the room as is. It was time, so the hallways and counters were quiet.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WMQ4fR6Kj
He hurriedly moved his steps along the road where the dawn had begun.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk99D2rs8BS
There were few people in the bathroom just after rush hour. At most, it was Kwon Taek-ju and a couple of elderly people.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsHUEnLwQR
Thanks to that, he even rented a sauna. A sweltering aura spread through his entire body.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntzUmEec1E

He relaxed his neck and enjoyed the momentary peace. It was a luxury she never knew when she would enjoy it again. Countless drops of water formed on the ceiling. He counts them meaninglessly and organizes his complicated mind.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyRmu7hj3U
The key figure in this case was neither Kim Young-hee nor Lim, but Deputy General Manager 1. The key was whether he had a pure romantic relationship with Kim Young-hee or something more. If, as Director Lim insisted, Deputy Director 1 was also victimized by Kim Young-hee, his charges are limited to the level of burying the case. However, if he had helped her even though he clearly knew Kim Young-hee's identity, or if he had acted under her direct orders from North Korea, the punishment would have been much heavier.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEz0P8gB2f

The nature of the evidence to be found to establish the truth would also be different.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5knhXYrou
Before leaving for Russia, he remembered the first deputy general manager he met at the headquarters. At the time, he seemed extremely calm. He never looked like someone who had lost a loved one. It was a relationship that was so deep that it promised a future, but is it possible to be so calm after hearing the news of the other person's true identity and death?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnZRCMROzv
It was also suspicious that Kim Young-hee moved at the time when the NIS and the prosecution were in full swing. By ironic coincidence, the order may have come down from North Korea at that time. Someone might have intentionally pulled Kim Young-hee and Lee Cheol-jin out. One thing is clear, if Deputy Chief 1 was concerned about his career as head of the NIS, he would have certainly wanted to avoid an affair with Kim Young-hee.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKqMWBuZ5v
If the 1st deputy director went beyond simple involvement and intervened in operative activities, there was a high possibility that he would also contact Lee Cheol-jin. Lee Cheol-jin was the only survivor among the key figures in the incident. It would be nice to meet him first.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMixrzZEGrh
He took a quick shower and went out to the changing room. Then he took out his phone and turned it on. There was a pile of missed calls and messages. All of them were sent by Yoon Jong-woo. He must have come to work soon, so he must have heard the news from headquarters. He called him to be restless. The call connection tone didn't go through even once and then hung up. Yoon Jong-woo, who answered the phone, unilaterally inquired without holding his breath.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yQfggZHJD
–Senior, where are you? Are you okay? I heard you were here last night? The atmosphere at headquarters right now is no joke. You're almost a terrorist!

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lIasZG8fv
"Oh, is that so?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kyY388Dzm
–Is it? Is that so? Senior, why are you so carefree! They said the senior tried to kill the manager, attempted murder or what? The wanted list has also been strengthened. They will be requesting cooperation from national investigative agencies.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKo8X7Dok6
It seemed that he was hiding somewhere and was on the phone. He lowered his voice to the utmost and whispered softly, but his mouth movements were quick-firing. He said, "Jong-woo", while tearing off the vinyl of his underwear with his teeth.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdydtxA62dE
–Why, why?

Let's call warmly, I'm going to go in the middle of the day.

"Do you think I shot Director Lim too?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL062AnFH6U
–Yeah... I don't know If it's you, who shot him? It's true that I came here last night and met the manager. Ah really….What are you going to do next!

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡistROf8ABT
"Others don't know, but you have to trust me. there's no other choice now Manager Lim must have realized at least that you were helping me."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO4pzSb2Mg
–Yes? Uh how!

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexY9sn9Vp6
"Is there anyone out there who can help me but you? You were tied up as my accomplice a long time ago. well, you never know. On the condition that you quit the NIS, I might get rid of your accusations of sympathy."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIFAUt1D94
–Ahh! Screwed up! It's ruined!

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfvWnq2vQV
"Then why can't I get caught? If you don't want to get into trouble, just recite what you've researched."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoGTAfKsZa
–...1st deputy chief. You know you were at the Korean Embassy in the US before, right?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ601GW9UBY9
He speaks in a dejected voice. He could feel the early resignation of my situation from the tone.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu1o8j6BAJ
–Around that time, he must have met Kim Young-hee. Both of them were active in a relief organization called 'POC', and it seems that they often went overseas as well. If he had contacted the North Korean side, I suspect that it was the time when he had a justification to go to a third country. It is highly likely that he also contacted Lee Cheol-jin, who served as Kim Young-hee's liaison and carrier, at least once or twice. Coincidentally, the timing and target country of Deputy Director 1's volunteer work were almost the same as those of Lee Cheol-jin.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcODSfCTLCh
"I should start with Lee Cheol-jin. Great job. Jong-woo, you keep digging at the first deputy chief and his aides. As long as you don't get caught, Manager Lim won't do anything to you, so don't worry."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwQcO78SWf
He unilaterally instructed and ended the call. As usual, he turned off the power right away.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcxYipqGqE
Then a new guest came in. This time, it was an old man with gray hair. He sewed his clothes as if nothing had happened.

He was about to pull up his pants when he suddenly felt eyes on him. Earlier, the old man was frowning at Kwon Taek-ju's appearance. When his eyes met, he clicked his tongue and turned his head away.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtUB6HzcQR
"......."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3UukNnlzg
He looked at his back in the full-length mirror. A clear tattoo was visible just above the buttocks. In the meantime, he hadn't had time to look in the mirror, so he completely forgot about it.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEVM3A9SGo
Recognizing the existence of the tattoo brought shameful memories. The sharp pain from needles mercilessly piercing the skin, the bitter feeling of ink smearing over the wound, even the power of the fingertips gently pressing down on the right flesh.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiTugYYb3J
He shook his head. Quickly take out his clothes and put them on. He remembered what he had to do first.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL3t1uodiW
"It will sting a lot."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakrVZULSk4
He nodded at the doctor's warning. A surgical drape was immediately applied over the surgical site.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fvTJZmE05
".....Hmm. It seems like it hasn't been long since you engraved it?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcfo1Jpjx7
The doctor muttered to himself as he touched the tattoo. After a while, the power of the laser device turned on with a thump.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFE1zwnIfU
"Then let's begin."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT5jchEy87
He tightly closed both eyes. The laser treatment started with a distinctive mechanical sound. It felt like a flash of light flashed on his tense skin. Unknowingly, he flinched. A tingling and hot feeling was persistently transmitted. The smell of burning raw meat also rose.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmBKgVQJmb
Lasers were continuously shot at areas that were already irritated and throbbing. He was determined, but he let out a groan at the repeated slaughter of his life.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBvRbCZ93E
"It's great...ugh….."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITN9IIrlKx
Because the dye penetrated into the dermis, the wound for treatment also deepened. The doctor who was checking the earthquake site with a laser clicked his tongue.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1zSRYCCVz
The treatment, which had been stopped for a while, started again. Cold sweat continued to form from the sharp pain, and my teeth were grinding. As he was receiving the laser in the shape of his tattoo, the feeling of contempt from that day naturally came back.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzBNm8gGII
''Someone said this is a symbol of desire.''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLLbo7fOSX
Even being brutally trampled on wasn't enough, it was as if he were stamped like cattle or slaves. The feel of the heated needle was still vivid. The feel of the ink that had permeated bitterly over the stinging wound.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcwonIsMK4
''It's just a contract connecting the master and the servant.''

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQBPeX8EW1
He also clearly remembers Zenya's ridicule.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk4kzIzfeq
He frowned. He was determined to cut it all off, but things in Russia came to mind indiscriminately and occupied his complicated mind. The moment he escaped the prison-like island, his face, which had been distorted in vain, was left with a dark afterimage. It gave him goosebumps. His chin was also tense.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP9HxopfE9
The reason he was swept away by him for a moment was because we were alone in an isolated space. Because he was the only human to talk to. In extreme situations, he will always find a place to turn to. Emotions had no place in temporary compromises for survival. So, neither his feelings toward him nor his identity have changed. Like that, the rationalization like a spell was repeated over and over again.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNYztvWFy1
As he recalled the unpleasant memories, his heart started pounding again. It was like he had a terrible nightmare. A nightmare he never wants to go back to.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRglXaYQkc8
The skin is burned, and the ooze collects in the place of the fan. Along with the burning pain, past memories faded one by one.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC6gS2L0Hb
There would be no going back.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpBxIc3QdX
Incheon International Airport Arrival Hall. A large electronic display board announced the arrival of the aircraft one after another. People who came to receive family, friends, customers, and business partners gathered in front of the gate. Passengers who passed through customs poured out without stopping. As the starting places were all different, the appearance and clothes were also different.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg6aO3JtFX
Among them, there was a man who especially attracted attention. He was tall enough to be seen from afar. Because of that, not only the passengers who came out with him, but also the people who met him glanced at him. There were even people who stopped and looked back as far as he was going. He didn't even know that it was because of the unusually gorgeous appearance that the extraordinary attention was focused on.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SbjcZfgoi
The man slowly scanned the interior of the airport, not paying attention to the surroundings. Wherever he looks, Koreans are everywhere, full of Koreans. A silent smile spreads across his lips. Blue eyes shone with a strange light.

"It's fortunate that only the muscles stopped at the line of rupture. Even if I brushed a little further down, the prognosis would not have been good. You shouldn't overdo it though. You must rest absolutely until you are completely healed, and follow me well until the rehabilitation."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmLwfTqpU5
At the request of the doctor in charge, Director Lim only nodded roughly. With that, the medical staff who finished the examination left, and the first deputy chief came in. As usual, when he tried to get up, he said, "Oh, lie down." and hold back. When he finally sat up, he clicked his tongue as if he couldn't stop it.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxv0MqVxXg
"That person, too."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem19Qv9Izd
In addition to the two people, plainclothes policemen were always on standby in the hospital room. It was part of personal protection.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENv0bxu4Ny
"I'm sorry I'm on duty, but please step aside for a moment."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoM4NB02qg
At the request of the first deputy chief, the police faced each other. It will only take a while for Manager Lim to help. It was not their superior, and there was no reason to follow the instructions of the two. Even so, he leaves without much distance.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK4o7ujoto
As soon as the door closed, the friendly smile disappeared from the first deputy director.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFTl5aIXtn
"That friend, is your location still undetermined?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecesatp7R4
"Since the police have also been involved in this matter, they will be contacted from anywhere soon. Anyway, he is the most usable talent in the NIS, but it won't be easy to get caught. So, didn't I tell you to choose another friend from the beginning?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jo7HCmJbo
"You are so peaceful in the midst of this, you."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y3L6xJ6X1
The first deputy chief showed an uncomfortable psychology. Director Lim changed the subject with a unique smirk and said, "More than that."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPcex6ulGn
"Isn't it more urgent to silence Lee Cheol-jin?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSuezp5ijU
"If that's the case, don't worry. Since I failed to carry out the order, you should know very well that the only thing left for me is death. Even if he is killed, everyone will assume that it was the work of the North."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx8WssuxgA
Deputy Director 1 added a word quietly while boasting.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9lP2vfEIc
"Probably won't make it past today."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK01jBHEeo
The sound of an iron door opening could be heard from afar. After passing several doors one after another, the prison guards stopped in front of a certain room.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27lTyRnXsn
"No. 342. Talk to a lawyer."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdwYvXYY8t
The lock unlocked and the door opened. However, Lee Cheol-jin, who was sitting in it, did not intend to get up immediately. The guards pulled him out of the house as if he was used to it. He put handcuffs on his bony wrists and gently pushed him on the back.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz4voCMVp1
It took a long time just to get to the interview room. Lee Cheol-jin's lawyer, who had arrived early, stood up. At the invitation to have a seat, he pulled out a chair and sat down.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdYGyjXM6z
"Long time no see."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnU2aJKO51
He only nodded his head at the greeting that followed. For a moment, the lawyer observed Lee Cheol-jin, who had no life. It seemed that it was not only because of the hard life in prison that his appearance was damaged beyond recognition. There were clear marks of self-injury on his neck and arms. He had been told that during the night he had tied his sleeves around his neck and tightened them.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuRXeyDcKw
"Mr. Lee Cheol-jin. Why do you keep trying to harm yourself?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p5jkXnkYM
"Do you know who only waits for death?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1nps7ZuI2
The outcome of the Korean trial did not seem to matter. Regardless of that, he seemed to believe that he would die somehow. Rather than waiting vaguely to be removed, he chose to volunteer.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijwkvCXcS2
Even in a serious situation, the lawyer smiled. Then, he slowly leaned back on his straight back. He took off his glasses with one hand and set them down on the table. The eyes that were revealed in that steam were somehow unfamiliar. It was a sharp feeling that I wanted to be like that originally.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndBGAiwsCV
"I heard Kim Young-hee had a lover?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt6SqhtbL2
Words are suddenly cut short. Even the tone of voice had completely changed, and he seemed like a completely different person. However, the voice was oddly familiar. Where did he hear it?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBDOjGYckN
"I saw it clearly on the boat, and it was gone. The ring Kim Young-hee wore."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDznw1qGop8
The lawyer raised my left hand and flicked my ring finger. Lee Cheol-jin's eyes widened. It seemed that I finally knew the cause of the uncomfortable feeling of deja vu. The man in front of me was not my lawyer, but him. A Korean agent got into a fight at a vending machine in Perian. The person who made Lee Cheol-jin himself was imprisoned here.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHum2XhsFWg
He jumped up from his seat. Then the lawyer, Kwon Taek-ju, disguised as him, quietly looked up at Lee Cheol-jin. Looking straight into Lee Cheol-jin's eyes, who were shaken in embarrassment, he nodded to him to sit down again.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4t6elmIEX
"I even put a gag on it so that I can't die carelessly. Even that has disappeared."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgsystSyNS
Lee Cheol-jin's face adds to the confusion. He clearly understood the meaning of the clues Kwon Taek-ju threw at him. The two people's eyes play a tense tug-of-war in the air. Lee Cheol-jin seldom cleared his doubts.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq0zZ2Rje9
"Sit down. I'm not here to compromise with you."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ8Uh4LgnT
"Are you here to hide?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM6N13wh7O
"I was wondering if the older brother knew that he was stabbed in the back of the head."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Y7Zc2p0j
Lee Cheol-jin's brow furrowed. The look of doubt deepened again. He seemed to believe that his failure to complete his mission was solely due to their mistakes. He also said that he was responsible for Kim Young-hee's death.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpUcwZvdIu

Looking back at the situation at the time, there was nothing suspicious. However, Kwon Taek-ju appeared and was talking about a completely different dimension.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKOAjzy5bm
The death of Kim Young-hee, who was unable to commit suicide, and the missing ring. There was a person who was reminiscent of just those two questions. However, Lee Cheol-jin did not act hastily. With eyes that want to ask about this and that, he holds on with his mouth tightly shut.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjNffF6Bu0
"Anyway, that guy might be the next NIS chief."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY2TuXqWsw
".....You said you were the head of the National Intelligence Service?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVZAWEXfvU
"Even a great man who sold his country would have his mouth watering. Perhaps, starting with the head of the National Intelligence Service, it is possible to advance into politics. There are only two competitors, and it's not a position that can be won only by accumulating a lot of achievements. In the meantime, they are even frantic to find out about each other's infidelity. How anxious were you? If things like Kim Young-hee's identity or relationship with her were revealed, it would be difficult for her to maintain the status quo, let alone become the head of the NIS."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4qdGB8Gw0
Lee Cheol-jin's face darkened even more. The wandering eyes of his aimlessly expressed his confusion. At that point, he straightened his upper body, which had been held back. Then, while keeping an eye on Lee Cheol-jin's eyes, he continued to push him.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwW8eG2UqC
"If you have something to say, you better do it now. I'm never coming here again, and nobody but me will listen to you. Even your lawyer."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07musfx2Ha
"Yes, why are you trying to reveal the truth? Isn't that a pain in the ass?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQmUaNnNdY
"Certainly annoying. But how come you've already been hit by one? What cannot be undone must be repaid."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkggwkHtRG
He smiles, revealing his chosen teeth. Lee Cheol-jin's expression became somewhat shaken. They say he can't spit on his smiling face, but Kwon Taek-ju was an exception.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvPpFawyoz

Every time he laughed, it didn't feel pleasant at all. He was like that from the beginning. It must have been because something had happened.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnKKtk7YOo
The trial, which has been going on for months, is now coming to an end. He could guess his sentence just from the atmosphere flowing in the courtroom. at least 10 years. It was fortunate if it wasn't removed by someone else before that.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kTNA3Kxk0
"There is nothing complicated about it. He said he abandoned his older brother first. Do I need to be loyal to a guy like that?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGip73FzG3K
He persuaded Lee Cheol-jin again. But he kept his mouth shut and his head down. Doesn't even flinch.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQEFmFbtla
Was it something that wouldn't happen either? It would be difficult for me to believe the words of the person who captured him. Moreover, in order to prove the charges of Deputy Director 1, he must confess his identity, affiliation, and even the purpose of infiltration. It was an act of abandoning his duty and betraying his country.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16kzqEE1FP
Even after waiting a long time, there was no reaction from Lee Cheol-jin. He showed no signs of compromise. He was not in a position to stay in one place for long. He got up from his seat without hesitation.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Brp63vBV
Even so, Lee Cheol-jin did not budge.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0dVB3OyY7

However, the feeling was a bit strange. Looking closely, he could see that his body was twitching. Hey, at the moment he grabbed him by the neck.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T7d44a8rD
"....Whoops!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlEdqsbCq8
White foam flowed from Lee Cheol-jin's mouth as he collapsed on the table. The eyelids were completely turned over, showing only the whites of the eyes.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBq1yrdBot
"Hey! Is there anyone out there!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPKjdp1RIt
He shouted at the closed door. At that time, Lee Cheol-jin, who was having a seizure, grabbed Kwon Taek-ju tightly. Then she struggled and lifted her shroud. The bandage on his abdomen was peeled open, revealing a wound that appeared to have been stitched up not long ago.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU5tsFnxMS
"Ugh….."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF93B3I3QjN
Lee Cheol-jin ran his fingers through the wound.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6lVNVfEV5

The sutured area opened, and blood flowed from the wound that had barely healed. A moan erupted from the teeth that were clenched in pain that's unbearable. Just by looking at it, it seemed that the pain was transferred intact.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6fiFHdu9g
Soon, a small chip was caught in Lee Cheol-jin's blood-stained hand. Lee Cheol-jin held it out to Kwon Taek-ju without hesitation. When Kwon Taek-ju frowns and just looks at him, he even puts a chip in his hand.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5J4E0Jjv9
"Is there a problem!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2iiDh0c5f
Immediately the guards came running. They sent Kwon Taek-ju out of the interview room and gave Lee Cheol-jin first aid. The area around the quiet interview room suddenly becomes noisy.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTXL2OhmHd
A prison guard approached Kwon Taek-ju, who was startled.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobVKsMdzOy
"Have you tried to harm yourself?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BcKmzWpua
"No. I had a sudden seizure during an interview. Have you ever had a problem with your diet or suffered from a disease?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMGNX7yPAA
"No….Such a thing...."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscp1Tfg2th
The prison guard blurted out his words and averted his gaze. He spares his words, lest he be caught openly by the prisoner's lawyer.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CXzvZWug5
In the end, he had to leave the detention center as if he was being chased. The detention center said they would contact me when the cause of the seizure was confirmed. The last time he checked, Lee Cheol-jin was completely unconscious. His face was also pale, and he could not be sure of his life or death. Maybe the 1st deputy director tried to get rid of Lee Cheol-jin as well. If it was revealed that Kwon Taek-ju himself was a fake lawyer, that crime would also be overturned.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsF5K9ks4A
As soon as he came out of the detention center, he took off his artificial skin and threw it away. He had to move faster.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRATUF8QaAL
What Lee Cheol-jin handed over was a memory card. what is contained in this Judging by the fact that the flesh was ripped open and hidden deep inside, it must not have been an ordinary material.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22XKWi8ezz
He walked casually toward the boulevard and stopped. It was because three or four patrol cars passed one after another with sirens blaring. He went straight into the side alley and moved without stopping only on the narrow road where cars could not pass.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsUuCk03TA
Then, luckily, he found a photo studio. When we go inside, the photographer who was eating awkwardly gets up and says, "Welcome." He held out the memory card to him who stole his lips.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGiPSjeusK
"In-hwa, please."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5J4ckoAFI
The photographer, who was flipping through the memory card, soon put it into the reader. He tried to wipe off the stained blood, but it didn't read well, so he disconnected and reconnected several times. The barely recognized card contained photos and videos.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBU1tIj92D
"There are quite a few... All of this?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhHHPx0Y48
The photographer turned to Kwon Taek-ju to ask for confirmation. Exactly as he said, there were hundreds of saved photos. Inside, he could see Lee Cheol-jin, Kim Young-hee, and the first deputy chief. There was also a case where only Lee Cheol-jin and the first deputy director were filmed. Given the different appearances and backgrounds of the subjects, it seemed that the places and times the pictures were taken were different. If Lee Cheol-jin did not serve at 'POC', it was clear that he had captured the scene of the interview instruction.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpMmryVYT3

In order to prepare for the possible betrayal of an accomplice.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxyT1gJqcJ
"How long will it take to print all these pictures?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cd4calZzv
"There are so many that it will take a couple of hours."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEeHTRdFsF
The photographer answered, moving the entire image into the print folder. Then the siren rang again outside. This time, it was not on the far road, but on the adjacent alley.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2n2osD96p

Was the movement route captured by CCTV?

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN6BXFdYiO
"What happened outside? It's been noisy ever since."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwYz4kk7pP
The photographer glanced out of the store and handed over a memory card that had been backed up. He wrote something on a notepad without any response. Then he gave it to the photographer and asked for it.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKyPXK8zGo
"Would you mind sending the pictures over here as soon as they appear?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d9y8VLL5x
".....Is this the prosecutor's office?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpNfL7VtmJ
On the memo, it was written, 'Seok Jae-hee Prosecutor's Office, Public Security Division 1, Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office'. To the bewildered photographer, Kwon Taek-ju did not explain the circumstances. However, he took out 50,000 won bills as soon as he picked them up.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYi4ygasUy
"Then please."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxuqBkvtlM
The photographer nodded bewildered. Kwon Taek-ju slightly bowed, then took his memory card and left the photo studio.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXLWWreliQ
The photographer, who was left alone, looked at the money lying on the counter in disbelief. Great profits always come at a corresponding price. Maybe he's getting entangled in something unpleasant. He was concerned, but the place he was asked to send the picture to wasn't anywhere else, it was the prosecutor's office. At least he didn't seem to be involved in any crime.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWiRodI3R9
The photographer immediately put the money in and started printing.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBPDZ0HI9D
The hospital was crowded with plainclothes detectives. Three or four people stand at the front door alone, and two at the taxi stand and at the bus stop, guarding their surroundings.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29t0jwb7Vw

Perhaps more personnel were deployed inside.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6b2JMWdO8
It was right not to go in. Nevertheless, Kwon Taek-ju dared to enter the hospital. He had to make sure his mother was okay. The hem of his robe fluttered with each stride he took. Underneath the white gown was a gray shirt and tie. His hair was parted moderately, and his sharp eyes were covered with black horn-rimmed glasses. His plainclothes detectives glanced at him as they passed by.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXuFjc0q59

But he didn't come up and check his ID. It was because, to anyone's eyes, he looked exactly like the internal medicine specialist at the hospital.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvIjadYitn
Detectives were camped in the reception desk and storage window, as well as in the cafe and bathroom on the first floor. passed in front of it naturally. Occasionally, if someone from the medical team or staff pretended to know, he would respond leisurely.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEqH8ynCqc
Thanks to confirming the location in advance, he arrived at the internal medicine ward without hesitation. Detectives were also hanging around the station. He took a deep breath and walked towards him calmly. "Hello", the nurses who were working there also greeted him. The eyes of the detectives, who were focused on Kwon Taek-ju for a while, fall without a doubt.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Q8nuc1SQ
He searched for his mother's name on the computer. It was to check the hospital room in which she was hospitalized. The search results came right away. It seemed that he was assigned a single room, probably because he was subject to special surveillance.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ7sTbNKtE
Good job, he was about to leave, but the head nurse came out to the station just in time. As he nodded, she tilted her head.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzJOMsnNLn
"Oh, sir. Aren't you off today?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkVbKRWA6r
"Ah….."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBJaNoNMvC
At the suspicious voice, the detectives looked closely at the station again.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZvFvVdLME
"I changed it to tomorrow."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7oIKKvBfL
He walked away from the station with a smile on his face. The detectives who were watching also nodded their heads first. The detectives were greeted coldly. He passed them leisurely and got back on the elevator. Then they went up to the eighth floor where his mother's hospital room was.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpObLICu2P8
The problem was from now on. As the mother's place was in a single room, no one would be able to approach her. The police force was also more likely to be concentrated. It had to be approached carefully.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI69xOUMH0f
The elevator soon stopped on the 8th floor. The door opened, but he didn't get out right away, he checked the movement of the hallway. For some reason, he didn't feel any strange. He waited a while longer and went out.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWvj68A0Ua
The reason he was dazed was because the hallway was unexpectedly empty. Not even detectives could see a shadow of a person. He passed through the hallway, doubtful.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXzT6xwcBP
It was around the time we reached the emergency exit in the middle. Discomfort is maximized. The door that should have been closed was slightly open. What came out of that gap was someone's hand. Closed the door more. Then, he saw six or seven men who had collapsed on the emergency stairs. It looked like detectives and guards.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkLbTpejCz
He looked around again, but he couldn't detect any other signs. He approached carefully and inspected the condition of the unconscious.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOhvOu5DXE

Only breathing was barely perceptible, and all limbs were limp. The trauma was barely visible.

It seemed to target only vital points and subdue them in a short time. Someone broke into this place, without causing any fuss. The workmanship was unusual.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDSMQtySHB
So what about mother? His heart thumped. A cool aura spreads on the nape of his neck. He immediately jumped up from his seat and threw open the door to the hospital room.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaPuzJ9Jxv
".......!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZhPWq7ydk
He tries to enter the hospital room, but hesitates. Someone was sitting in front of his mother's bed. Is it an intruder? His heart was pounding and he was shaking uncontrollably. The speed suddenly became more sluggish. It wasn't simply because of the antipathy towards the unknown intruder. It was more like a game, stemming from a more foreboding feeling.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRpdQMG2BV
He was used to the back view of sitting with his back turned. It's not common for people to feel intimidated by their back. He didn't look back at Kwon Taek-ju. He just sat there and looked down at his unconscious mother indifferently. He must have heard the sound of the door opening.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdOjpleS91
Would it be better to run away now? I had to do that to save my life. But leaving my mother in his clutches? That was not going to happen.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslCQT5ohiV

He may not have noticed Kwon Taek-ju himself looked like a doctor who belonged to this hospital. Even if he was a guy, it would be difficult to see through at once.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ekVJJVhCp
He made up his mind and went inside. He went closer to the bed and checked the dangling injection. Only then did a clear gaze come from the side. When he turned his head, their eyes met immediately. It was Zenya who sat calmly by his mother's side.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUv2VY4cwX
He gasped as if his heart would burst through his flesh. He was worried that the sound would reach him. His confident courage quickly lowers his tail and runs away. His mind was confused as to how he got here and what he was trying to do with his mother.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmKGN3mYFO
".....Excuse me, but are you a guardian?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU15apm1KH
He managed to hold back his anxiousness and opened his mouth. It was in Korean, so there was no way he could understand it. His voice was quite different from that of Kwon Taek-ju.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTi43m8koc
As expected, he just stared at Kwon Taek-ju. He'll check the patient's condition for a while, he said. Then he examined his mother's pale face.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTmcmbgfIV

Needless to say, the corners of the eyes were swollen, and the lips were dry. The white marks on the eyelashes and the corners of the eyes were traces of tears. Looking at her saggy cheeks and neck, it seemed like she couldn't even eat properly. Something like a heavy lump of lead pressed against his chest.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiTgZVdfnZ
Pretending to check the IV needle, he stroked the back of his skinny mother's hand. Looking at vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and brainwaves, it didn't seem critical. He didn't know if it would be better to enshrine them here until the false accusation was completely cleared.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9uhj16DSV
The problem was Zenya. He couldn't leave him with her mother.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzdvNZhHVq
"Come out with me for a second. I have something to tell you."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUDleeTywE
He nodded his head outside to the guy who couldn't understand. He intended to drag him out of the hospital room and run away at the right time. There were cops everywhere, but he wouldn't go on a rampage just because he was a bastard. It wasn't a very hopeful plan, but right now he had no choice but to bet everything on it.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tk7Oj7T2K
He turned around first. One after another, the guy slowly got up. As he walked ahead of him, the distance to the door seemed infinitely farther away. He couldn't even breathe easily. His body odor seems to have already filled the hospital room. His heart also pounded uncomfortably, compressing his lungs again and again. His tension made his hands tingle.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbh9OXbdPH
He pushed the door aside. The door, which opened in an instant, was soon closed again. A hand stretched from behind his back was holding the door. It had a distinctive body odor. He felt like he was going to suffocate. His shadow had already swallowed Kwon Taek-ju.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WQv6t0IIy
His brain was blank. His body stiffened completely, unable to move. There's no way he would have recognized it, and there's really no way he would. It felt as if his neck would break at any moment.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92qiWasv6Z
Suddenly, his hand slipped into his pocket. Unknowingly, he shrugged his shoulders. The guy who took out his cell phone regardless and turned it on and brought it to the door. It was right in front of Kwon Taek-ju's eyes. One after another, he called somewhere on his cell phone. The distinctive beeping sound clearly reached Kwon Taek-ju's ears.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQyWfXjnhB
Drrrr…..drrrr…..

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDqljcRSsX
Right after that, the cell phone next to the door rang loudly. On the screen, the phrase 'Caller ID Display Restriction' appeared.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVlIG1YaVK
His hair fluttered with a burst of laughter. His mind flashed incessantly, sounding a belated alarm.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqNvsaCtuK
Soon, his face approached Kwon Taek-ju's ear.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVWTtg1vnJ
"Did you enjoy playing hide-and-seek?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4434tDWcUO
There was deep joy in the whispering voice. It seemed as if the floor he was standing on was utterly collapsing.
