CODE NAME: ANASTASIA - 9. Hide and Seek

"Uh? What's this?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELuweXTKb3
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsvJBqhYzi
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEmPommPck
How dare you hack NIS staff. What kind of guy did it?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMajKaLGUxs
"You bastard, you got it wrong."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWMilzf3jt
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmZZCdtdtq
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BYdaBotyy
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAwGMlR7wd
"Ouch! I didn't use it on purpose and saved it!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8K7iB2pgh
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC63jYQLYBZ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2fzw1kanj
Then the thief answered.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrUv6hZmUc
–Don't scratch and go play over there.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt0fwlvrRZ
He was speechless, so he gasped. He applied for a fight again. Rejected. reapplied. Again it was rejected right away.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoSHehQn1S
"...This bastard."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Gqon7K7F
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI4RlW9QWV
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq8VFehSbY
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyn3gFy3ks
"Aaaaaagh! Die, die!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu5wpY3wT5
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqLOyiFZYf
In a situation of dilemma, the thief struck a decisive blow. His vision flipped as he was hit with a headshot.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJEvaHnK6q
"No dear... !"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nCjrmwtha
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoerP7c62OI
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQseS8Wrbx
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RMh2FwcBU
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmuZ6oFcSj
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0sYuUSWuU
".....What."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuV12eV3Nf
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcAtC9D3aQ

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMhD76D7B2
"Oh, this motherfucker….!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrEa6wWMJu
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBOGG0BUJV
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMOO5RZRI3
He sat down.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBSMxpGM1c
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiddOIbIpf
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAYf4xKznL
I need to tell him clearly who he touched. I will find him by any means necessary.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHpjePka33

Grinding his teeth, he got up from his seat.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQYEoj398J
Then, someone suddenly called out.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMbvN5gdMp
"Hyeonpi is a grown man."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhvMg0AD9V
"......?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4d7aGCk9T
Where did I hear that voice?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQu3sr9ZLk

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlIyhNVjKN
"Senior!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhteN7n9EJ
"Shut up, kid."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyYYd4pIcy
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H4XAQxfhh
"What happened? I thought you were dead!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKz7mdffut
"You didn't expect that to happen?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOATAIjJ4z8
"What do you mean? I worry about you day and night…."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWiA7eNX0R
"You must have been busy playing games."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc81ilZdVSy
"Yes. I played day and night….It's not, really!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEhOzGpOv3
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vr2JwESAE
Yoon Jong-woo asked as he descended the narrow and steep stairs.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkoFp3qpgA
"By the way. That thief earlier, was it you senior?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr1X5fkb2n
"ID cherryboy, password [email protected]@. Isn't it time to change something?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpu9sJoKPy
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvObOWc6Ot
"If that's not your senior, then what?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIKQa6A0ur
"....yes?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgKaYzDvJF
He wondered if he unknowingly muttered what he was thinking alone. Yoon Jong-woo was startled and covered his mouth.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaWB922OtQ
"Didn't you know? I know how to do mind reading."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0k4pTnhSS
He said, "Is Yoon Jong-woo genuinely real?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANstsJpPEL

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJpkUFAk7u
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQty2voPcm
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kwS5sSprs
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oLTc2GrdQ
However, Kwon Taek-ju, whom he met after a long time, did not seem to be safe.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMVrSO0U5w
"Did you bring the car?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6LtddMyGO
"Yes, over there."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i7lrbWmwB
Carefully he opened the car door. The two sat in the driver's and passenger's seats, respectively.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ugcGQw23
"Where shall we go?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwxN4faVha
"Talk over here."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW9g1cqLwJ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5GpMD6fC2
He opened his mouth only after thoroughly erasing his traces.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4zBvXuXwx
"What does the manager say? About me."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqLZfysLtT
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhWUlcuadZ
"All right… I'm not saying it's wrong because I'm not dead. So, how is the atmosphere at the headquarters these days?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZj9ZQfwXO
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2CJhhSIFa
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxZLMKOuLd
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8COlc1huI7
Yoon Jong-woo's complaint that followed was proof of that.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseRC6NSnY3
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs34dg5NBG
"Did anything else happen?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzrvAGPXH8
"Well. Oh, there is one. I recently moved to the information support team."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGjlsEP4eF
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRskN2zwEkG
"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... ."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG9pON42US
"By the way, what?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7szPH3ukl
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOV8NQHHyL
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf2FBrP6pW
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbgpHawo8G
"What was the last mission you had on the investigative team? You wiped out Kim Young-hee's gang in Busan, is that it?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vVfKvMe2g
"You can't divulge that."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavxX9RjvNU
"It's relaxing. Will you do that even if you cut off your head after this?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW2fcrDCNC
".....That's right. then that."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7UCMN7vCo
After hearing the answer, he thought deeply. Looking back, it all started right there.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKGPmaFd5x

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?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCgmFfAumO
"Strictly speaking, you are not qualified for this operation."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzKaZeBgdo
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqhwJuXP7g
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4vQgAp77b
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTyrz0I0vu
"I had one more mission."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2pjRwFxNt
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvWJuEoDxJ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGX1vQEZyy
"What happened to the guys I caught and handed over in Busan?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE0uXel1z2
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3Wt2Spno1
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWNRXYiFen
"And speaking of Kim Young-hee, she must have been poisoned right before the arrest."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDhNrld0wt
"....Does she eat poison?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGwOBkN9Sm
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQNoI73lh7
Kim Young-hee also attempted to harm herself when Kwon Taek-ju himself caught her.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa0yBpOHG7

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?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhWmJmkHuF
"Tell me more. How did that happen?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPUqFOGDFv
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72dzYdWhfy
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7iPS1GzqK
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvCp2IJBw2
"Why, why... ."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq3O8QHWrR
"Where are you going to go and say you met me?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9HagoQkn8
"Why not?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl318a8kQBq
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlBxhIfHTG
"Yes? What the hell have you done!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLimACdIVe
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7uMBgKQvc
"What would you do if you were here? You ran away long ago."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqj8lJr0CX
".....Is that so? Criminals can't openly appear in front of NIS agents. Fearless."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO94vHAEE4s
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkYSuXxSXh
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxZxPyRumt
"Spam is extreme."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTeW4JwsXx
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13LKHUaj6c
"Let's not do anything stupid. Because I don't want to knock you down."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M2OBnQXQQ
"Um, I don't know what you mean."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ukyJyBmJ
"Hmm, don't you know? Do you have a baby or someone?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek6zGMae0Q
As he teased him, Yoon Jong-woo let out a deep sigh. His shoulders, stiff from his tension, also dropped.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pp1nGoNFs
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Bm5cdIbK
"What are the charges?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllIOIllCzN
"I heard you were accused of colluding with a Russian intelligence agent? isn't that what he said to Yevgeny Visarionovich Bogdanov?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhYQe0uy4D
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDg4WiEv6b

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5hUg1Z6rC
Someone is making a plan. Kwon Taek-ju himself was just a horse playing on top of it.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbFRjeXm7f

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNDiqkSDqO

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mFyrHcxiS
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….."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzPnIOiJmW
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfrza698d0
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsGytAMv9c
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj39LJGatu
"What do you think, senior?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITO3oxGyEc
"I don't know for sure either. I'll have to find out from now on."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0nd1nQ3ez
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0OS0t8rIo
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYOm9mjbdV
"I've already finished one fishery, do you have anything else to sell?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH53mP7qw3F
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa51N3KBK4
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAnQSsCsai
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8i6g8IKru
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJM4MJQ5ow
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a48U5tPWz
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW5wOvVt7G
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeeVtauGiM
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjMOs1Q4j4
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLmhjZ4pOp

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUboIYTffyH
Yoon Jong-woo, after rationalization after rationalization, finally spoke up.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0xUMxDo1L
"What can I do to help?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyL8fh4EZW
His conscience asked, betraying his reason for seeking his own comfort.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYrXa8OPNv
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFcFlYb8L3

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lczqhJUYm
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxapvacuMBG
It was when he was checking the previous precedent. A knock was heard, and Chief Kim came inside.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO6OMXUQuu
"Here are the materials you mentioned."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaInPisgY9p
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOExHZK7KHf
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEPcEdEZWP
"What are the charges?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW53fazXCG
"Looks like you had an affair with a Russian intelligence agent. Wouldn't it be a crime to leak state secrets?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy1JyVkahm
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGskB6oRVD
"Tell me more."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPwdxbrsng
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oly0boj5K
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3dhYTO0d5
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3lCi5MFuL
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ppt5KqCZc
"Yes."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HoxVIJo54
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV93xUyx2t
"Ah yes. hello. But what happened here…."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOgYXdfioj
"You must be busy preparing for the trial, but I risked rudeness because I had something to ask."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe9MRBTy9r
"Please? Come in at once."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCmmHNlg35
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sX51j01ug
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?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDPczVMKWR
"I'll be back in 30 minutes."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8D2DXaPVB
After notifying Chief Kim, he leaves the prosecutor's office with Yoon Jong-woo.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U3ewhoKVe
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeaFm7YvlJ
"Now tell me. What are you doing?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1CVEISSem
"I heard that Kim Young-hee committed suicide."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzmI0LNz8M
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhmyHKbSfp
"Yes. As you know, he died during the arrest. When the Coast Guard arrived at the ferry, he was already dead."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7muejLDCx
"What is the basis for judging Kim Young-hee's death as a suicide?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9rnHgFCA9
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o2snJt6rg
"How about a handkerchief?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKZJXG0B6Y
"Handkerchief?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1P9iGKK25
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ558oJ2Fo2z
"We have not received any reports that a handkerchief was found at the scene."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoCESslaGw
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUrl36SMnj
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVeL9Av8pQ
"So, are you talking about the possibility of Kim Young-hee being murdered?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcYtBcYyr9
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OTS0dJJGZ
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1ypVybQSj
"Hmm….Then have you seen that ring?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlGgmZPrJU
"What ring are you talking about?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LVxp28gNJ
"Wasn't Kim Young-hee wearing a ring?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku8c2KoqZN
"No. There has been no report on that either."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJKPvAw19G
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIKf5a3a35
"So what you're trying to say….."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI4NwE4XbX
"What if someone fabricated this case?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFtTiZQONg
"Fabricated? Are you saying that the accused even wrote a false name?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpXtje1ja6
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l5IkGdtTJ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ7fl4uU3V
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCaeCcs1q6
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJDwekmUcY
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdb6wSbaPd
Yoon Jong-woo nodded as if he understood. His complexion became dull.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXjQUDJJJr
"If you have nothing more to say, I'll get up first."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYUN5OKu2V
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmgtGeOV1T
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGXhoLrLog
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09DdQTzzGp
Yoon Jong-woo slumped down in his seat.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKYXv0DBWu
"Senior, have you been caught?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx43fNEiLN2
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJDCcqthGM
Of course, apart from his demands, immovable evidence was needed to clear his name.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgTLgtWrEO
"Once you return to headquarters. It won't look good if you keep hanging around the yard where you hit it several times."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3laisezr4
"What will you do, senior? If you get caught in an unexpected check…..."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrGvp7i9C2
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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n0qgtY7EO
"Take care of yourself, man. I will find a way to live on my own."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS8tYR71Yn
Even the nape of the honorable junior's neck is massaged tightly. Yoon Jong-woo did not stop.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2w1m96liq
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ326zzjNPlc
Suddenly coming to her senses, she mechanically moved her hand again. Then, what did she think, she rushed to the living room.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGfvFfldl8
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0eIbXc2ko
"......."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBCBzzxPNi
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYik9Qa2SsK
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSRridMlfj
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtM0j37Mb7
"Did you find my son?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPcZgi7eEH
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWzsgNUsVg
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCVaaPXUSY
"Did you find my son?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEflhYIdqC
"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...."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBVr4AKBMh

"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!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn52jTKi6E
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4onhdF3wEy
The policeman persuaded calmly. However, Kwon Taek-ju's mother denied that, saying that it could never happen.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eUFkPEFdX
"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!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVacMjMgguT
"Mother, calm down. First, drink water…."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYFhYrK5Et
"You said you would find my son! Find out soon! Find my son!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDXc2Swko9
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfqF8Lzpsv
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIyfJjfvR3
"Mother, look at this. Your son, right?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz2SX9bIxV
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZRRAFJMww
"Right, my son. Did you find him?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OVQBrg7cY
"That's why we lost contact. Your son, he's a wanted criminal."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjOD3F3aAK
".....Yes?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCdhlwFR6H
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRB8EajlaR
The last words were close to self-talk.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoNHuYzWtC
Kwon Taek-ju's mother stood blankly and shook her head. Her unfocused eyes blinked convulsively.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG0Z10bTHK
"That couldn't be... ."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl1YK0HrmL
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkPz08rqFY
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gvcx6lShF
After a while, it turns around. Her concerns, her youthful gazes pursued her. Sure enough, she collapsed before she even left the door.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCaJhNoVOX
"Madam!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1GQaisUjJ
"Oops, call 911!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5N7C4CNzc
"What are you looking at stupidly? Hurry this way!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBetR3ltzs
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE76xfBbdK
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw5rpGWZ9C
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20GOhvrZmn
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDnXyiL4Yg
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjrCBltZMG
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkBJbGLpGW

As soon as he checked the content, he permanently deleted it. Then, less than five minutes after entering, he was out of there.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ454OD1z9Jk
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPsDOc36QI
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNJjn0ZCKG
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhcmJjZ1EH
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VCBSAayRH
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn7PB9F9c5
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyttb1tX9s
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP22ofzjNYm
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T7ynkF7ma
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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5CZ81sFSV
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQDLODDeZ4
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJv8zI4YYv

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OGHBlmhiQ

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTPlgl6118
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN2zTBykXV
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl3Q6Ruhah
When the navigation ended, the surroundings were completely dark.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzzlbI3k4n
"The address seems to be somewhere here...."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RkYvOdu30
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwx9P38D7S
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nf4IhIBZx
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?318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47sRhq9y0d
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ErNRvdfyJ
"Hey there. can't go on a designated hiking trail…."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbGFdznpAT
The man who tried to dissuade Kwon Taek-ju hesitates.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUnGpswEkU
".....Huh? Who is this?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA3OfXN4yp
"It's been a while, Doctor."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPBNdW06Oy
He recognized the man first and said hello. The man who was surprised by the unexpected reunion soon softened his face.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDTaZTOU14
"What are you doing here? You didn't come to the mountain climbing in the middle of the night, did you?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN4PrK0D95
"Hey, I'm here to see the doctor."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yka0rmsK0
"What is Doctor? When was the last time you gave up on that life?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScTjWN6uCS
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfRXsAg0SS
"It's not like this here, let's go home."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vg4fkcvml
At Dr. Cho's recommendation, he climbed into an old truck. When he started the engine, there was a noise like boiling phlegm.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74tNN3qEj5
"Could you come empty-handed?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrcOOZrPeL
"It can't be."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ56ThvBotC
He shook the bag he was holding. Inside, the bottles collided and made a clear sound. Dr. Cho smiled contentedly.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9R2kEuV5o
"As expected, you are very good."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1tUJQ8P5p
In addition, he will give him a chance to stay in the most shabby room in the country.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOiEZi6vBU
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD65JkTXCJm
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFdzNI5k4D
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEywQQcJS5r
"Sit down."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh35R4j4rEU
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyubYg5ka0
"You really didn't come here to see this wrinkled face, are you? Why did you appear out of nowhere?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIlDSSm8Vr
"I need some help."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkob71YCU4e
He answered honestly when asked. Dr. Cho smiled and stabbed him in the face.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY9uG0510r
"I left my fast-paced business and came to visit this old man….Are you going to move without the headquarters knowing?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04NZEiZXAY
"Yes. There are circumstances."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKAfAv2LEw
"I want to know what's going on? You should be able to make a living just because you retired, a public official."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENMDcyEaND
Certainly, he couldn't just ask for help without explaining everything. He talked about the past as simply as possible.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb2ElZpdPi
Dr. Cho, who has been listening carefully, suggests another method.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv2r8X9Hg3
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8qgrZMMKR
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOq8QEvYkd
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IUQxjhDc7
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSWxMPgAQq
He acted as if he was going to kill someone, but his mind was the best. Dr. Cho poured him another drink.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk3HUdcA8G
"So, would you like me to be your accomplice?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2aNs5cWsU
"If I get caught, I'll say it's my fault. If you have to, say that you were threatened by me."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXj2IqtzED
"Nothing."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQK4nY2BFo
Pick laughed. Dr. Cho grumbled at Kwon Taek-ju as if he were looking at him as a nasty person.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonRAwZ0Vr9
"When I retired, I just wanted to live a normal, small life. The impure seed is messing around again."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKSWwZE8Ii
"Thank you."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUAifi55UF
"Don't say that, because you haven't decided yet. Let's start with the eyes first."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPtMBIT4c2
Dr. Cho crawled to the bed and fell flat on his stomach. Before long, a sweet snoring sound came from him.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL327KXzStu
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowpnVvaqWl
He doesn't remember how he fell asleep that night.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo2yxoLFtB
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6rxmyxe4h
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1b8eH3x3B
''I need a passport.''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubaYDRLZEA
''Why are you looking for your passport here? As you can see, this is just a bar.''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3cbY5skny
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM6Z0lBySa
''I'm busy, so let's not waste each other's time.''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMD8ikulUZ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcOtQmu5JW
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew5K5xOVVC
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhMRhi3wcn
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT05GPNAM4
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOyzraXXRi
''Keah!''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhlMADAPz4
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZXkWstqEb
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbwpPNAhiz
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzha5dbxCt
''I heard someone is looking for Asians who want to forge passports. Is that you?''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue9xwPwVI5
''Who?''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2JeSxYwvZ
''Psyche Bogdanov.''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJHOKKPZ3T
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRCRY7kBQ1
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVBq2wE1TD
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZX303m1jM
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFnz1ONDd1
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO3wxHGq9R
He's finally leaving the boring Russia. Everything went smoothly until the aircraft, which was moving toward the runway, came to a halt.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATcrFh8u4E
The cabin crew hurriedly gathered in the galley. Passengers also looked around the elongation in an unusual atmosphere.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGe6ZWiMR5
After a while, the in-flight announcement came.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieOZb527yv
''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.''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIp1AwmmF3
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSpLKM3Lkg
Emergency stairs were quickly connected.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0W4xY2N1k

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hzYh2tXAa
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsOc8SnucE
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD65HqpVmGA
He couldn't bear to look back at him. It felt like every cell in his body froze.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hZuxklbFG
''Did you think you could escape like this?''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT5PfWen0k
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUDY1kiY3s
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdXyIJVvfG
''I can't go, the owner of the house.''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoBarciqZe
".....Omg!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIemOB4lWnN
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMqjFSleiM
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryyLolJiHI
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….

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcC98PVxk7

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQl2JSnvnu
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88NkIl5sNw
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOroJt827C
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezx6UqknNw
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHMK7zZbZZ
He opened the creaking door and went outside.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVnnbxsLJD

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoNk77WLr4
"The sun has risen in the middle of the sky, are you awake now?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepQssl6jf4
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ400TlIvL6r
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbfdSG2SB9
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2kNQszMrG
"........"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjKR8KtgpW
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWIq09YSIf
"By the way. Are your thoughts the same even after sleeping through the night? Do you want to do that reckless thing?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqZ9WBqYmT
"Yes."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rh9pNDWDr
He shook his head in reply without hesitation.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGcJhT070Q
"I can't help it. Tell me what you want. I will prepare it right away."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuqwCxskNJ
"Thank you."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMtEDAxYJe
"It's going to be pretty tough. Even if I help, you will have to fight alone in the end."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWlIGOCWlW
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabclUmKPYb
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKrPUX3LcB
Dr. Cho suddenly showed a pen to Kwon Taek-ju, who was preoccupied with looking around the cabin.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn03wJK9Sn5
"It's a device that can deflect or move a laser in parallel. It's a simple principle, but it will be quite useful."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLKxyML0OX
As if to demonstrate, he chinned the curtain. He closed the blackout curtain behind him. Soon, it became dark inside the cabin.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Bx4lXO9i
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB6a4ksSIF
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2va9ANaTMM
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe1yAj87YF
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb2A4y9GXa
Ask questions instead of happily introducing his inventions. Let's look at the question, and point to the small monitor under the table.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnhKROorDG
"The detection dogs have already sniffed it."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhJnRIMoU7
The monitors showed soldiers and police officers climbing through thick trees. It seemed that the location was exposed.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhocJN5fjM
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttFHn8dYmD
"If you get caught, I will state that I gave up my things under threat from you."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgg7PXiXRD
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEFhD1TJD7
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h4P2TcqhH
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.

"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBntno5R8f4

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UVuM7eIFQ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKxXsVNP8V
"How did you come?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquWFjB6Cbw
The middle-aged man bowed his head and greeted me.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj9lqvRAKt
"I have a few questions about Professor Kim Young-hee. Is it okay if I come in?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGXKeqR90o
Professor Yoon's face hardened.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUSIvNjhbm
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeov2ALm76D
He draws a line while showing an annoying expression. But the man did not back down quietly.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRETKuLWH3d
"I beg you. It only takes a moment."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUXZ3I9nHo
"Who are you? Are you a reporter?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl7lg5s64E
"Ah, my introduction is late."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby7TbdwFr0
The man pulled out his ID and showed it to Professor Yoon, who was wary.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA1yRjESDj
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliTVRmSWZB
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU28J92hafS
Professor Yoon sighed as if he was frustrated.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXp2XiEcjz
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzSvkoCVSH
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlUpGcKR8P
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuMBubejbk
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDXR1eMFk3
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4kNP4imtZ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW1DnVso0N
"Do you know where she bought that ring?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljd3pAbw3S
"Usually I don't know. The man would have bought it on his own."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ULPNphkLq
"....But do you know?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpIZ4mdTbG
"Yes. She is the wife of a member of the same society, that jewelry designer."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiZFxq9Vrr
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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeY2lrUHIA
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx66WvJJEr
"Excuse me, sir. What product are you looking for?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYjkF8Ocxr
"I'd like to see some rings."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRJZpb4dqF
"Ah, that's right. Are you going to use it when you propose?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKDhhH9bXW
When asked to guess, he only nodded.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9nAliuHqJ

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1kZkwSFTd
"Do you have any special designs you want?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5O0CeC5Q2
"I don't know much about jewelry, so could you refer me to some other products?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tRV0mhe7o
"Sure."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaYm07YrnR
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsHx1G3prK
"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...."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp8X6DjVMY
Then there was a picture that caught my eye. It must have been. It was the same ring Kim Young-hee was wearing.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zsF671kEm
"This ring….."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJwX3wiOzz
"Oh, do you like that design?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADjBhANFHS
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU0JVwhvrC
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaopkK0FcqM
"When did you make this ring?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAxWSFATK5
"Hmm. I don't know, but it must have been less than half a year."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI62rmDq8Sx
"Isn't this a coupling?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc94QfsPBY4
"Yes. This is suitable for marriage proposals or gifts."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssMrQ7qBad
"Then they must have bought it from the man's side?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHWuuGbQ95
"What….Is that right?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFfKGNJ6wr
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfujirNPHlX
"Wait, go to the bathroom... ."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjhDlMlREW
"Oh, yes. It is over there."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JPsOmypn0
Headed in the direction the manager pointed. He felt a stare on his back. Pretending not to know, he folded into the bathroom aisle.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUOf0yo3lo
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlr6Uwh9aF
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiSMzMlROj
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFp9ILnQrV
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwugVYAcPD
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrP9uZXYx6
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYiaPbCWZN
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOjZuzRanE
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOlWmFb485
"Looks like you're busy, but I'll come back next time."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ709h18MyNP
"Yes? No, I…."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzYHUTdrjr
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gni9s8bbN
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyhkLxskSV
–Senior, did you succeed?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWwq9VLWj3
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveU52XqMGR
–Is that an insult?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdIEN8L99I
"It's up to you to hear the compliments."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfQjiEFPeS
–The ring, did you check it? Were you really there?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96dH8FDU0P
"Huh. found the ring. Now I just need to find someone."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyGPnJ77vi
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJHGncOLJ4
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV1ToDvcpm
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a4xa0Rl2j
"This….."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaD260lSNs
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87cNYUHg1S
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5uz7yVVJs
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg1AHfZWBy
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2fMY4ui52
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLlV68viJx
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq0icJz2vx
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC1cbGBxtX
"........."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUqGHRukbF
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyM9UzLJLa
There was a subway station entrance nearby. He pretended to be passing by, then suddenly turned and entered.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTaXwSdTIq
"Follow me!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG89er7XRE0
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDwsp3d6Z8
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiowdbcmD1n
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlSlUna26Q
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4SvzYhsB9
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwQqGcJ19k
".....Whoops!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShqq30g1zq
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInRObvee5s
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq0lR7Yd9x
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysGtNUI06Q
"Uh. Have you checked?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExgOVRIK2y
–Senior... Isn't this synthetic or something?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uvIXodoiF
Yoon Jong-woo asked in a bewildered tone. Wasn't the name found on the sales slip the same person?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe10opzc4bt
"Why is that?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCMCiyD9fu
– …..I think you'd better see it for yourself. I sent it now.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOFbmpYHZf
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxekltIRg0Q
He put the phone to his ear again.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf56mpzyU1L
"The back of my head is tingling."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0zroBayAw
–Certainly this one fits better. What are you going to do now? Shall we send this data to the prosecutor in charge?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlPyXUaRuM
"No, not yet."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7CiZmce3U
–Why? Where else can you find more convincing evidence than this?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk0gEH6jvN
He arrived at the next station. After taking a careful look around, he hurriedly got off.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3FlDsDGZu
"This is not enough. I need something more decisive that I can never get out of."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fLGxeZLAP
–What is it?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlRXy8rjIq
"I'll have to look for it. I'll contact you again, so until then, Jong-woo, look around for that guy."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfVOMw3Gqy
Now he said it openly. Before Yoon Jong-woo could say anything, he said, "I believe it," and hung up the phone one-sidedly.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwV5x9rfHQ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbB8dX3kLm
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'.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLRtsaXyjm
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvylWzNvno
–.......

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8h4vnr6zV
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKLO3Mag9A
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC7Jyb1ajD
"Who are you?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3YJxgj3ID
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dfUUcMMJ6
Is it a guy?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudQaENeaNt
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3ezRKJjvZ
Soon the call ended. His phone, which he hurriedly checked, was switched to the standby screen.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rWCQ0hqRd
Is he really a bastard? How the hell318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu9Q4CVWDq
I had a vague memory.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD1oZuDwXN

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6fIUAGx6Q
"....Shit."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxcp8JbPZp
He gripped his throbbing chest tightly. His strong heart, which he had always been proud of, went berserk even at the thought of Zenya.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodgd5Vsibv

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMXUMg0u9m
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzhAaY1aGG
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYAyYBdOgI
He pulled up his collar to cover his face and hurriedly got out of there.

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu7lw8mJT1
".....I missed it."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslHcDzttee
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjbHtPJZ1b
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGatELl8y8H
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm2xkbCf14
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoapMJM4qns
"Okay, go out. Report immediately when location is known."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi26pwggOaz
"Yes."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkN9yDxXov
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI63vGY8oFe
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZipnRtPpB
He was about to take the key out of his pocket and unlock it beforehand. Suddenly, the driver's door slammed open.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZaDEx0j7W
"I'm back, boss."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3KnO0okqJ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFpI3KY9pj
"Long time no see."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZUMRxCIyC
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ikukXQT1
Director Lim pretended nothing had happened.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgMzF2fiLf
"How is your mother?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRQq6Mqujw
"Well. I think the manager knows that better than I do."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX7dTLHqmQ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDSZ2K0rQH
He held up his cell phone in front of him.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1g7wpEiiR

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSj00bRDZG
"What is this?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeoj9ZYFO7
"You know this better than I do, right?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEhGQhVjXN
"I don't know what you mean."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j3rY9WaQg
"Then would you know if you saw this?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH20CatuZa
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYo6FwrztP
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeoaFSotGn
"So?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxhcaIouDE
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7u2S3oxjU
After a while, he looked at Director Lim.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw7noxfVo5
"Why did you do that to me? Deputy Chief 1 says that if this work goes well, he will give me a special promotion?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuzfV9vF8i
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu0nbiZBf8
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdlPQcOvRr
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0eVtBFyVo
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3RvFqktsm
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKWUzRPdBv
Director Lim smiled triumphantly.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1bT88T6SY
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkA3R69ZQD
"I'm not here to see who has the advantage."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfST62TB6QV
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbXOlAxXkg
Kwon Taek-ju's chin shook. The eyes grew even fiercer.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Lg3JT9sB
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmAmajVSjQ
"....Oh, you're really going to get mad."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwiGkdCozx
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf0eKSURRx
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRiWV9P6ON
"Then do you remember this saying? I can't accept the collapse of my career, where I always achieved 100%."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLXRcrmwti
"Are you saying you're going to do it alone?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRm40SRYGL
"That means you can't die alone."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkelDFpsBx
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJbSa2vaIo
Slowly bit the colt. Lim, who closed his eyes tightly, smiled dejectedly. He stared at him silently, then jerked away. A warning flew.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvslycaskGu
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0xWOp0jj7
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWNoDsOkQz
Suddenly, the emergency exit becomes noisy.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumj8ooQBjO

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdNhY0gmqA

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8caGm6JT84
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OGAH4JzUN
"Stay still!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMNFngM4v3
"If it moves, shoot!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nfvDrVNiV
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnV2Ye5W8E
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4cXSBvz9i
He abandoned the car in the middle and walked aimlessly down the deserted market road.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqkGFM3mMA

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakFLPOEpor
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ISxUrp9R
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFY55WFxEf
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY2MVKq5Nz
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2U1fIBIbR
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELg826N7Ih
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrEptJfALJ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU0j0HfpXa
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqW5yjkixy
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz4svu4YxT
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBS1y3woNz
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySqCmZrrS0
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUeNHT86IF
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA8rJjKphR
At that time, he vaguely felt someone's presence.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O512BmXJT

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtOiuJzx0m
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRlwH4Aqdb
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKNy8gg3km
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG9vyNA5Ql
''Taek-ju, why... .''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRUlTOFnen
A faint voice rings in his ears. He looked down bewilderedly. Then, the child disappeared, and Zenya appeared and held his whole body down.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY7Yk2vzU3
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9Kg99hau3
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew0vGugRmf
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtfYAi6zF5

His heart started beating out of control again.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2A21IvJPS

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTkR4RFyje
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1BuaXkr7u
Why?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkx2lTqlTA
The rebuking voice blew like a gust of wind. In an instant, an unknown tingling sensation pierced his entire body.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIbsrNZPXh
".......!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXehyGFG7S
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOYKIHzuer
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHm2Xf1kuc

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hbEycKmVt
His heart pounded and he took a hard breath.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPQu383oDC

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawbw7AlxBY
It was only after that that he recognized the prickly pain coming from a subtle place. The lower leg, looking down in surprise, stiffened.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLX9nmntWO

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojxfkRMytM
For what…..

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZB3BdbHdJ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH08vvbsVn
"Fuck, am I really a homo?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL1Hv0wfYK
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSLHOHgD71
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wwRa18AqB
He hurriedly moved his steps along the road where the dawn had begun.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQXAg5G0nP
There were few people in the bathroom just after rush hour. At most, it was Kwon Taek-ju and a couple of elderly people.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNH4c2uKoY
Thanks to that, he even rented a sauna. A sweltering aura spread through his entire body.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7wyO75Nlc

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9adKkIbUR
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6TZNMC45M

The nature of the evidence to be found to establish the truth would also be different.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWXdSkKDNk
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?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzOTMhviML
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhKkSsCU1p
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO6D1TWubt
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk9ZihLdMq
–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!

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt0NNaZVWs
"Oh, is that so?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk1PuTAsX6
–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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHRnfpU8tY
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7gJZc693l
–Why, why?

"Do you think I shot Director Lim too?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFNv0ujWu6
–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!

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtEJ4HMWWJ
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAyv5O8UuG
–Yes? Uh how!

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztwSISrKat
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMbLTX56Y9
–Ahh! Screwed up! It's ruined!

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtpTJpSCU2
"Then why can't I get caught? If you don't want to get into trouble, just recite what you've researched."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u3n2GSEmZ
–...1st deputy chief. You know you were at the Korean Embassy in the US before, right?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAoGfFgTbC
He speaks in a dejected voice. He could feel the early resignation of my situation from the tone.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAExjUVE8Z
–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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpeNc0OOKx
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA1dNeBmJy
He unilaterally instructed and ended the call. As usual, he turned off the power right away.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyAQtDT955
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zyU7u6BMF
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xxu0AmTvL
"......."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg3AWguDTJ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuE2BF69Os
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIulOXxHu3
He shook his head. Quickly take out his clothes and put them on. He remembered what he had to do first.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOmeaN8KiW
"It will sting a lot."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Z50QyI8M
He nodded at the doctor's warning. A surgical drape was immediately applied over the surgical site.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8R8D9NInb
".....Hmm. It seems like it hasn't been long since you engraved it?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakwnzOtThf
The doctor muttered to himself as he touched the tattoo. After a while, the power of the laser device turned on with a thump.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TWpSuFvbc
"Then let's begin."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxymztpTzhf
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS9SsHAeQG
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4dHOW4fqV
"It's great...ugh….."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz3xqONIOd
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZzAtyhdWG
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMeUxo1T8j
''Someone said this is a symbol of desire.''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpatSKPUhm
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNohirABIe
''It's just a contract connecting the master and the servant.''

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6a9zJowf4
He also clearly remembers Zenya's ridicule.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IrHSPowS2
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOgTaCv1zZ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmuKd60HM7
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG7kw286BA
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjgiSeer70
There would be no going back.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAdL1WRrIl
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoopJk6v8Es
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ieLrgljaF
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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcEbQ3K82c
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKtfQ1yogr
"That person, too."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEFEYHfhe9
In addition to the two people, plainclothes policemen were always on standby in the hospital room. It was part of personal protection.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4cD8jixc8
"I'm sorry I'm on duty, but please step aside for a moment."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLtoZONZhi
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86IxrQjzXQ
As soon as the door closed, the friendly smile disappeared from the first deputy director.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWlZKlenDw
"That friend, is your location still undetermined?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kp20veu73
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpQmovSUV9
"You are so peaceful in the midst of this, you."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRFMxb8B0d
The first deputy chief showed an uncomfortable psychology. Director Lim changed the subject with a unique smirk and said, "More than that."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlEq5TIWOC
"Isn't it more urgent to silence Lee Cheol-jin?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcfvSNv3IX
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1y1fqsiJS
Deputy Director 1 added a word quietly while boasting.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWGZYwdIkH
"Probably won't make it past today."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2B89fTrh5
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVikjGu0nRN
"No. 342. Talk to a lawyer."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCXjxCMrIN
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZBnWislDg
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf6SRNJgzI
"Long time no see."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOxhj0InUH
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj14LQjSKk
"Mr. Lee Cheol-jin. Why do you keep trying to harm yourself?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyemBCC8G09
"Do you know who only waits for death?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jjAjUhwVS
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjTXLZSjrZ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7auBAbnhTu
"I heard Kim Young-hee had a lover?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq1Pjg8WqC
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?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHuxguZEMI
"I saw it clearly on the boat, and it was gone. The ring Kim Young-hee wore."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVODQ9j2cpd
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wNoRCAitN
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptIw6ppdmm
"I even put a gag on it so that I can't die carelessly. Even that has disappeared."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zefFrZs8q
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQvGuSyof5
"Sit down. I'm not here to compromise with you."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSya4wjno7w
"Are you here to hide?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZpNHCpaum
"I was wondering if the older brother knew that he was stabbed in the back of the head."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlQpEKlSco
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvA7TbyGjs

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8kkMKxJMG
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hiTqxCS00
"Anyway, that guy might be the next NIS chief."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm1ec7vGKN
".....You said you were the head of the National Intelligence Service?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdiRVO7zRR
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqlMHcCyc8
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN0hbg8QOK
"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."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGCeer0wk7
"Yes, why are you trying to reveal the truth? Isn't that a pain in the ass?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrcj3nx6v7
"Certainly annoying. But how come you've already been hit by one? What cannot be undone must be repaid."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VMhwIpa3f
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYJtA6MNLJ

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu0zUfvjRH
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCpyuuXqv6
"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?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO1bCmV4As
He persuaded Lee Cheol-jin again. But he kept his mouth shut and his head down. Doesn't even flinch.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9bOIvGhyP
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7unGf8lVhH
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIHFm94ZZK
Even so, Lee Cheol-jin did not budge.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2pyur5zJp

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9opYbHObxz
"....Whoops!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWisLXdKJtO
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlMdEAecVn
"Hey! Is there anyone out there!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq7KgeK36b
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2syRe2oWfl
"Ugh….."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU5bWly5kz
Lee Cheol-jin ran his fingers through the wound.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNabZjcDZ9W

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ4NU7aeAS
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQCdGMCUKR
"Is there a problem!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiUyJyHviv
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgV0JoE49A
A prison guard approached Kwon Taek-ju, who was startled.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMlz2LGSHP
"Have you tried to harm yourself?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppu1IuBFai
"No. I had a sudden seizure during an interview. Have you ever had a problem with your diet or suffered from a disease?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsNAdkCbcZ
"No….Such a thing...."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4KJjjICiq
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YB7GCuVmD
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLANucoRgNK
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7ij9qN0Yk
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcmVQVz06Y
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k1gZ9eZ7d
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3gLzdShc
"In-hwa, please."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fq7DXp9TS
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJKShgfNPm
"There are quite a few... All of this?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXyceFaIrd
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbeHwTEKDA

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

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUtWHQW2pl
"How long will it take to print all these pictures?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk1WQma9ht
"There are so many that it will take a couple of hours."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zy0CurAlB
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoH87ZJUOG

Was the movement route captured by CCTV?

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXquZwl0Yr
"What happened outside? It's been noisy ever since."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNXBf8a82G
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZvQHnFqh0
"Would you mind sending the pictures over here as soon as they appear?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnvnZTEO5B
".....Is this the prosecutor's office?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8FWcTkDSh
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxJ0FaGefz
"Then please."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjN0P7rQbo
The photographer nodded bewildered. Kwon Taek-ju slightly bowed, then took his memory card and left the photo studio.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2EiQ5yKGI
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOtMh9BhOt
The photographer immediately put the money in and started printing.

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfniTKavu5Z

Perhaps more personnel were deployed inside.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSkThbyoVo
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaHsdGi5mw

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqfoSt1DsY
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTvfCQttnP
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMWhvPBQnf
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw96AuqIC6q
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7KK2Esh4Q
"Oh, sir. Aren't you off today?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4AIjn1Thp
"Ah….."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZxczHYOSu
At the suspicious voice, the detectives looked closely at the station again.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kSddk7Gxz
"I changed it to tomorrow."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiLbenVQrj
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskUSsTTr7u
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqAysRtMoO
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH2bpYu0xf
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc9oxuFKdQ
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NBSloL3Rr
He looked around again, but he couldn't detect any other signs. He approached carefully and inspected the condition of the unconscious.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYmmSYRw7l

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.

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaXGErNlWa
".......!"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDwmLPgbEq
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.

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.

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H1JvB3Fm2

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.

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqvFt4gYbd
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqso14O1gQV
".....Excuse me, but are you a guardian?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4BF5emLqM
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNhO5Kr2RW
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ8ReWbQ6T

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.

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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh4EP2aIAc
The problem was Zenya. He couldn't leave him with her mother.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlaJz9QVVq
"Come out with me for a second. I have something to tell you."

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdfcSngdoO
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNd6Lp6tvR
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3dW7zHFVs
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ypab4EW9
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49cVPtv878
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.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4hR5mNIMY
Drrrr…..drrrr…..

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxAJiJIWF5
Right after that, the cell phone next to the door rang loudly. On the screen, the phrase 'Caller ID Display Restriction' appeared.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWw9IPp5wZ
His hair fluttered with a burst of laughter. His mind flashed incessantly, sounding a belated alarm.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3PK6C2qh9
Soon, his face approached Kwon Taek-ju's ear.

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lvV5n999j
"Did you enjoy playing hide-and-seek?"

318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjvGtbXPcQ
There was deep joy in the whispering voice. It seemed as if the floor he was standing on was utterly collapsing.
