CODE NAME: ANASTASIA - 9. Hide and Seek

"Uh? What's this?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCAr7qCtVj
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqtYFdxlDc
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXkkRnHGBW
How dare you hack NIS staff. What kind of guy did it?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg3yK25ydX
"You bastard, you got it wrong."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkfnmiNODF
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrafnZ41iX
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoh90kadxU
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueBspSczel
"Ouch! I didn't use it on purpose and saved it!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6esgrsJXIz
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj6MP91805
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0vYdtnOlx
Then the thief answered.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6bfFSbVN8
–Don't scratch and go play over there.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcNo7Vn08Q
He was speechless, so he gasped. He applied for a fight again. Rejected. reapplied. Again it was rejected right away.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1foHuKJdcG
"...This bastard."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlBdHFLQhL
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVDxEgP2gl
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hkPr6JOh4
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsgoJRPLf4
"Aaaaaagh! Die, die!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJexDh3jdWp
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUbe6poK4O
In a situation of dilemma, the thief struck a decisive blow. His vision flipped as he was hit with a headshot.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T3ihJ4nON
"No dear... !"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb8WjwAKd4
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eMO46Kd7o
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgQjBxQJJY
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhI3r5N4dF
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7qAfbHByN
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SunjbKN7q
".....What."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvwRv7Kj9P
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnMhcXozCP

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShVyZDkScm
"Oh, this motherfucker….!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUloilaEdc
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ83yeVsCj
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQnFSeg0dZ
He sat down.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gxC9yKj59
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshGZl3tB2q
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJnG43D7UZ
I need to tell him clearly who he touched. I will find him by any means necessary.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPNAdzeOPX

Grinding his teeth, he got up from his seat.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDOvab1eDd
Then, someone suddenly called out.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEEs2fI7WQ
"Hyeonpi is a grown man."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoIb3fULfU
"......?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeUqwMzR7q
Where did I hear that voice?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5npAFkr9t

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgGZVfx5RX
"Senior!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ssl5VB9i
"Shut up, kid."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKNMCQzZTH
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbcA7ock7k
"What happened? I thought you were dead!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun9K06SUM4
"You didn't expect that to happen?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPBLWPK90h
"What do you mean? I worry about you day and night…."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5oGLXrhQv
"You must have been busy playing games."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0f5LMZE3F
"Yes. I played day and night….It's not, really!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZVapDjuDk
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJf3hlQhrs
Yoon Jong-woo asked as he descended the narrow and steep stairs.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Myo43lQO7
"By the way. That thief earlier, was it you senior?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPQIZ28A13
"ID cherryboy, password [email protected]@. Isn't it time to change something?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLC0nc2TpH
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju2S58okpV
"If that's not your senior, then what?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ7m5kGozR
"....yes?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFoJxxedaQ
He wondered if he unknowingly muttered what he was thinking alone. Yoon Jong-woo was startled and covered his mouth.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qMPtWtByO
"Didn't you know? I know how to do mind reading."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9FTnPBiVh
He said, "Is Yoon Jong-woo genuinely real?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FjF4dzs9g

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMMsFmPo1A
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6woSh3ZuMV
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbiLqlbJaD
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUwcwuup5t
However, Kwon Taek-ju, whom he met after a long time, did not seem to be safe.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZo58MH67v
"Did you bring the car?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUwVIysQPS
"Yes, over there."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZo4x6cVnc
Carefully he opened the car door. The two sat in the driver's and passenger's seats, respectively.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgm87QvW5Z
"Where shall we go?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG71LJJtdWB
"Talk over here."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RaDqsRVLI
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmhdouUGps
He opened his mouth only after thoroughly erasing his traces.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKvwEQu6En
"What does the manager say? About me."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoZtPalvBe
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZhe7fw1dv
"All right… I'm not saying it's wrong because I'm not dead. So, how is the atmosphere at the headquarters these days?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkMttf1MBI
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bfs0b5f0S
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfTTzAWFa1
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOVUoHxCQo
Yoon Jong-woo's complaint that followed was proof of that.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstxJxDM47e
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsPn09sUlp
"Did anything else happen?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1n5qdjqfA
"Well. Oh, there is one. I recently moved to the information support team."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCskethcrI2
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5oIAemZOh
"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... ."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw31eJ1j0AY
"By the way, what?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmm5EX8XXo
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGqBkb8dQm
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE5gUMTNQm
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn3ZrAsvFG
"What was the last mission you had on the investigative team? You wiped out Kim Young-hee's gang in Busan, is that it?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r1RBCMczm
"You can't divulge that."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncaXYkLktk
"It's relaxing. Will you do that even if you cut off your head after this?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VfHWvyFzh
".....That's right. then that."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsrz2mfGy4
After hearing the answer, he thought deeply. Looking back, it all started right there.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszXLb2l5vk

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?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqb9mcjNUF
"Strictly speaking, you are not qualified for this operation."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLZVBSxXkb
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhlvTODDeO
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VkXrLH57O
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaBDudEB73
"I had one more mission."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv6eMUvhFA
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8W6kYAVQ1
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30FRUr8oJd
"What happened to the guys I caught and handed over in Busan?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHL5cBFqE9
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9rV5Zwkyh
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOUaWRHSMj
"And speaking of Kim Young-hee, she must have been poisoned right before the arrest."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGUad3vuK3
"....Does she eat poison?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6sIL4VGRb
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgQ6b8oV51
Kim Young-hee also attempted to harm herself when Kwon Taek-ju himself caught her.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JTYLbZLBH

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?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwskcGUhHM
"Tell me more. How did that happen?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeReumSgC00
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9PWefHVMS
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhpyVrCc5s
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoH7mMx39S
"Why, why... ."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyr3wlqKVI
"Where are you going to go and say you met me?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s5ufbcKZe
"Why not?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0EHTKwPn4
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9REJY2qaqW
"Yes? What the hell have you done!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyodK09wuQ
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi8WF0ON1k
"What would you do if you were here? You ran away long ago."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurZNUJVHbE
".....Is that so? Criminals can't openly appear in front of NIS agents. Fearless."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0f8hCb0qF
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdYGCn5gAV
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Du7oTBhr
"Spam is extreme."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JBkyt33gd
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbzboPxPkr
"Let's not do anything stupid. Because I don't want to knock you down."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1efa3ioEIL
"Um, I don't know what you mean."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon2EojTyWD
"Hmm, don't you know? Do you have a baby or someone?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9JyTpq1sE
As he teased him, Yoon Jong-woo let out a deep sigh. His shoulders, stiff from his tension, also dropped.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKXIRRpOz4
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEm2ohfDmm
"What are the charges?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04RgU1Dbyl
"I heard you were accused of colluding with a Russian intelligence agent? isn't that what he said to Yevgeny Visarionovich Bogdanov?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn3WbUzam4
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0lStxq2Zn

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxr3vQrgGm
Someone is making a plan. Kwon Taek-ju himself was just a horse playing on top of it.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dYChutEsB

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypCS4NxGiH

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuTPUR3Ccy
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….."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLXCa6VLwf
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gondX6QOm
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqFr1DEzIc
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZvb2gRk1e
"What do you think, senior?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE6D8b1sFy
"I don't know for sure either. I'll have to find out from now on."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pQF0MOROH
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIssUPcZxnY
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBSKFCPUPo
"I've already finished one fishery, do you have anything else to sell?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAdOQhdjsH
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GAl7ntJ9C
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyntaZrzJ3V
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno4kqwUYxu
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxqGOYE0mG
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqdXdSqwtu
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxMSiavGlv
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxWCYgn0nz
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiND73eiCbS
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Fz0n6mKG

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYzAX5ms27
Yoon Jong-woo, after rationalization after rationalization, finally spoke up.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCVKRjbzdA
"What can I do to help?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4reLGgTsp
His conscience asked, betraying his reason for seeking his own comfort.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq7om7QwhW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f8NUmDPnn

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz3MG7BEI8
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqpvt23in7
It was when he was checking the previous precedent. A knock was heard, and Chief Kim came inside.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHk4iEpUqy
"Here are the materials you mentioned."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YXxju7Jgs
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABG0SP9JCY
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNbQLvyZZi
"What are the charges?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGrPvOUvRD
"Looks like you had an affair with a Russian intelligence agent. Wouldn't it be a crime to leak state secrets?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs73s4eixh
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1QEMoo832
"Tell me more."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAuKwIl1yH
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUrrAfdSgz
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd8OituWIM
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShjEEQ2ZrP
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP7KmipHAq
"Yes."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmsukURQSR
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZTSeZWuzN
"Ah yes. hello. But what happened here…."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rO5P50iya
"You must be busy preparing for the trial, but I risked rudeness because I had something to ask."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cSmhHMLlV
"Please? Come in at once."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpJjquhadk
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CjyldOVGg
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?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamSfj3Valp
"I'll be back in 30 minutes."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbgw5XLcA2
After notifying Chief Kim, he leaves the prosecutor's office with Yoon Jong-woo.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3toSuYBzAT
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgIYoIe7sq
"Now tell me. What are you doing?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXeLMtcwYu
"I heard that Kim Young-hee committed suicide."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NYg86tqUO
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfbZQUe6SP
"Yes. As you know, he died during the arrest. When the Coast Guard arrived at the ferry, he was already dead."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4ivapvbFK
"What is the basis for judging Kim Young-hee's death as a suicide?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3HyJTGuPf
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxSAlsxJeN
"How about a handkerchief?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT2bNA7TjD
"Handkerchief?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwApgcnlUF
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z1oHxWIfX
"We have not received any reports that a handkerchief was found at the scene."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ249dUZu1
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMVEPm7bCm
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwMbYs8YYm
"So, are you talking about the possibility of Kim Young-hee being murdered?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKpFEUPlng
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43j0dOMlvY
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyMjdjQZ92
"Hmm….Then have you seen that ring?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ddZuozeK3
"What ring are you talking about?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTnrQMXXT2
"Wasn't Kim Young-hee wearing a ring?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSjVOqbncD
"No. There has been no report on that either."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ye8lGXNU
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0x8OtiKVT
"So what you're trying to say….."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmZWhxKHKa
"What if someone fabricated this case?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEXnNsBGou
"Fabricated? Are you saying that the accused even wrote a false name?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjINswCEE0
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CLtoyDTJp
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85nLbz0meE
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct2h1WCr5B
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewOGm4va4G
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmakTrzutTq
Yoon Jong-woo nodded as if he understood. His complexion became dull.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6P5R1c6qr
"If you have nothing more to say, I'll get up first."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfug1nYKMfh
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqyW2ploSa
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxaZphBpl7
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUfxrwkcwh
Yoon Jong-woo slumped down in his seat.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt7a2ABrbw
"Senior, have you been caught?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSxo00Uhyh
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX2lygINCQ
Of course, apart from his demands, immovable evidence was needed to clear his name.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMvGm7tflS
"Once you return to headquarters. It won't look good if you keep hanging around the yard where you hit it several times."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwO8zOuA5a
"What will you do, senior? If you get caught in an unexpected check…..."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VqIrsYAYW
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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlvsLyUbx2
"Take care of yourself, man. I will find a way to live on my own."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc6RgJ23vy
Even the nape of the honorable junior's neck is massaged tightly. Yoon Jong-woo did not stop.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SJFDqwUMI
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP10gSt37W
Suddenly coming to her senses, she mechanically moved her hand again. Then, what did she think, she rushed to the living room.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bZ5sEUxzO
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI2SZwFfvn
"......."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7jwK80B1u
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo4uPqkn17
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTUbaMkokK
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv53hLA5lV
"Did you find my son?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw11rhgIf1V
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxlIqtvb5r
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFvBtJaxIY
"Did you find my son?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIZSFAXOoZ
"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...."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9waDtnQhpv

"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!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFTYsE4qpH
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9p1x2U5W4
The policeman persuaded calmly. However, Kwon Taek-ju's mother denied that, saying that it could never happen.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA84XrvaDGK
"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!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvAo1DwOz5
"Mother, calm down. First, drink water…."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6fseTALMp
"You said you would find my son! Find out soon! Find my son!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivFFOwxMqD
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49exHuNKZt
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ350x3Xuhmr
"Mother, look at this. Your son, right?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQnHj4f0RR
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52RXdrUDak
"Right, my son. Did you find him?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlA6Z1zucg
"That's why we lost contact. Your son, he's a wanted criminal."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFFBOzI6BT
".....Yes?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85zYOIz4Ux
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC5BNQRHX9
The last words were close to self-talk.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvtl1yQksM
Kwon Taek-ju's mother stood blankly and shook her head. Her unfocused eyes blinked convulsively.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteLEdzYEg4
"That couldn't be... ."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDQp9mjV3b
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxIKlRQAL2
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCT7nu1uVK
After a while, it turns around. Her concerns, her youthful gazes pursued her. Sure enough, she collapsed before she even left the door.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVFj3bHQPc
"Madam!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaOGugFgYO
"Oops, call 911!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewYkIJ8EeM
"What are you looking at stupidly? Hurry this way!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xMLPHq3Bp
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6So98shgwo
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBfPni03zg
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9IVlpNKhC
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLRGQ8bmTZ
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3UpM5R7rG
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7krdQWvcn

As soon as he checked the content, he permanently deleted it. Then, less than five minutes after entering, he was out of there.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PfL6Dxb5A
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.

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBGGrZHlru
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzulikdobM
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXyiFNudLV
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDN6y0vumq
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDChVobdpT2
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBCUR4xmCf
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjeTDSzocm
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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDKDtZv8OS
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOJWnxpFKX
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMRu7eSo82

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXgl3wtUZ3

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSq7UyQyuH
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhGXXtUesF
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2JtAFNEnJ
When the navigation ended, the surroundings were completely dark.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfVJ0MnH4V
"The address seems to be somewhere here...."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx2U2W2KWk
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBlmFlLtdb
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euyTh3uVF
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?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AvileRAgg
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHvNkpNZ8g
"Hey there. can't go on a designated hiking trail…."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu1uWnS2n0
The man who tried to dissuade Kwon Taek-ju hesitates.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUVLsTZ3Bf
".....Huh? Who is this?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCVb4PGK91
"It's been a while, Doctor."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡothVC9o8MC
He recognized the man first and said hello. The man who was surprised by the unexpected reunion soon softened his face.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9t0PAeehk
"What are you doing here? You didn't come to the mountain climbing in the middle of the night, did you?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHcirBJPMW
"Hey, I'm here to see the doctor."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IiIQ2xRfF
"What is Doctor? When was the last time you gave up on that life?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XyNpYVvKE
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjHwKHYv79
"It's not like this here, let's go home."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO5RRetsiH
At Dr. Cho's recommendation, he climbed into an old truck. When he started the engine, there was a noise like boiling phlegm.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOrcBonoBS
"Could you come empty-handed?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks2xST10Mx
"It can't be."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDYVTGWNvd
He shook the bag he was holding. Inside, the bottles collided and made a clear sound. Dr. Cho smiled contentedly.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXr8G1vwNP
"As expected, you are very good."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsza3rj6jj
In addition, he will give him a chance to stay in the most shabby room in the country.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7qskZ7g11
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFalWCugH4
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTdKvJxI3Z
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1JJA9iHsN
"Sit down."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOCUNVcFQo
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLodil66Ru
"You really didn't come here to see this wrinkled face, are you? Why did you appear out of nowhere?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhPUwF2ZGt
"I need some help."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mYXVwT5Cm
He answered honestly when asked. Dr. Cho smiled and stabbed him in the face.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyWwy8ilt8
"I left my fast-paced business and came to visit this old man….Are you going to move without the headquarters knowing?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi40zMPIIpz
"Yes. There are circumstances."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFKlGSAMFn
"I want to know what's going on? You should be able to make a living just because you retired, a public official."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvpT77GqLl
Certainly, he couldn't just ask for help without explaining everything. He talked about the past as simply as possible.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHal7DPnh76
Dr. Cho, who has been listening carefully, suggests another method.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ldgm9lU5W
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeKHLT0ZmI
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQp2rVp16Z
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDQ03O2Djn
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uQH2OWy70
He acted as if he was going to kill someone, but his mind was the best. Dr. Cho poured him another drink.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMWWSJlWy8
"So, would you like me to be your accomplice?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwMuL91KyF
"If I get caught, I'll say it's my fault. If you have to, say that you were threatened by me."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcrAU3zuPU
"Nothing."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzM80mOi5z
Pick laughed. Dr. Cho grumbled at Kwon Taek-ju as if he were looking at him as a nasty person.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJiaDVa2xA
"When I retired, I just wanted to live a normal, small life. The impure seed is messing around again."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ5vhLgsv7
"Thank you."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBEAMIzzg9
"Don't say that, because you haven't decided yet. Let's start with the eyes first."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboKcWLw1R0
Dr. Cho crawled to the bed and fell flat on his stomach. Before long, a sweet snoring sound came from him.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq9TEitX99
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmCNRGXxKP
He doesn't remember how he fell asleep that night.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y6wDREpnC
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBUOEmj4lB
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV91HyGe4l0
''I need a passport.''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfLO5d7uJA
''Why are you looking for your passport here? As you can see, this is just a bar.''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fr58uecLO
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa800jh7ro
''I'm busy, so let's not waste each other's time.''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cqs7QHQZ2
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQRy0pTZrE
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvlPPoJ5R1
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc7LtKSLhO
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsPJslC7pt
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVthifFpte
''Keah!''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCuHvFnaRD
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGEOkETwN8
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrOBNlqzBy
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO2THGp0KU
''I heard someone is looking for Asians who want to forge passports. Is that you?''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGqL3GzeXR
''Who?''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IDlkwoOcm
''Psyche Bogdanov.''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwteSqOWzul
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU482B5d8HE
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro8TmkCWj5
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS7rNfwBbz
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdRyqHh7bV
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIDvDxZXDl
He's finally leaving the boring Russia. Everything went smoothly until the aircraft, which was moving toward the runway, came to a halt.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoClD9oi6h
The cabin crew hurriedly gathered in the galley. Passengers also looked around the elongation in an unusual atmosphere.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gORL2F802
After a while, the in-flight announcement came.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeAyUIvYfU
''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.''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFRVM8YqF7
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pNcgCJFLu
Emergency stairs were quickly connected.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Ydx9ghsh

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3VB3zGKTY
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDaCvfv83Q
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS18trRH1qW
He couldn't bear to look back at him. It felt like every cell in his body froze.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Sp5Lpu6B
''Did you think you could escape like this?''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn5fCeTVLV
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcxM3peOPv
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDFjTV8BAK
''I can't go, the owner of the house.''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLqvncRKSB
".....Omg!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYYOMWkPgj
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsTXagBJVC
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmtU8FvYsn
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….

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh9E5mtBf0

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Edlnz85Kz
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wv8vciH41
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4mgQVXv3q
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooSPuc6g1D
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2OuWJBIOv
He opened the creaking door and went outside.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5PBu4ynXB

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQM2QjjYgM
"The sun has risen in the middle of the sky, are you awake now?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY6yZOQj8W
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB5KpQhrMx
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZF6OQmV3t
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwNUb0gYm4
"........"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvy1uwZhpf
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0VbP8Xal8
"By the way. Are your thoughts the same even after sleeping through the night? Do you want to do that reckless thing?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTwMahqo6y
"Yes."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk007ZzETv
He shook his head in reply without hesitation.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM7mI3eXQR
"I can't help it. Tell me what you want. I will prepare it right away."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGsKCAxHJp
"Thank you."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeUaDPxezM
"It's going to be pretty tough. Even if I help, you will have to fight alone in the end."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE84nzrjH3g
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8uXOp1tmb
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni6CbgzHVq
Dr. Cho suddenly showed a pen to Kwon Taek-ju, who was preoccupied with looking around the cabin.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqxY0zv72e
"It's a device that can deflect or move a laser in parallel. It's a simple principle, but it will be quite useful."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXZEj1b7y9
As if to demonstrate, he chinned the curtain. He closed the blackout curtain behind him. Soon, it became dark inside the cabin.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfp9rr7liv
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyNunmiPSY
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa0mTqTze5
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEv35XJgHl
"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?"

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VfjI6BX5F
"The detection dogs have already sniffed it."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp5eJJEKwE
The monitors showed soldiers and police officers climbing through thick trees. It seemed that the location was exposed.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrhh8UhdYf
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeVfBv2Lpx
"If you get caught, I will state that I gave up my things under threat from you."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtifb1mdQFU
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWOECaGncO
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa82zUobpa
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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJwu13hx7Z

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1A85LQbCQ
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZixGhdP52C
"How did you come?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOPPDwev05
The middle-aged man bowed his head and greeted me.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uNP1J5Qds
"I have a few questions about Professor Kim Young-hee. Is it okay if I come in?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaMT3GVcPR
Professor Yoon's face hardened.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykjj0lhXtv
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0992PkXJa
He draws a line while showing an annoying expression. But the man did not back down quietly.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU5MW66U1H
"I beg you. It only takes a moment."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVcFRmPPMg
"Who are you? Are you a reporter?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkXGei0g8o
"Ah, my introduction is late."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBOdd3cSgL
The man pulled out his ID and showed it to Professor Yoon, who was wary.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfW88I1UFk
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWj0w3oyPr
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXB6AmTMEp
Professor Yoon sighed as if he was frustrated.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAEINuz2BE
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5wY0H1AkT
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zOBHO1Lie
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLRbTyZ4z4
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE24X3EPk7Y
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTtI9agQpL
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJu1zMSbwm
"Do you know where she bought that ring?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYc0l0u9j9
"Usually I don't know. The man would have bought it on his own."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwbPqVBI6D
"....But do you know?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUryNxmFGM6
"Yes. She is the wife of a member of the same society, that jewelry designer."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sMzaUu860
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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGJrFjmG30
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZh2lQfosi
"Excuse me, sir. What product are you looking for?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa58BZ6R8T
"I'd like to see some rings."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrr7faGZRG
"Ah, that's right. Are you going to use it when you propose?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZCYk3lTYI
When asked to guess, he only nodded.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxySt8kAUQ

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c3SYa8tSw
"Do you have any special designs you want?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKgZAbf9se
"I don't know much about jewelry, so could you refer me to some other products?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosvqPdn61k
"Sure."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDBBrA23UE
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6TckstHSd
"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...."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38QIHPslZN
Then there was a picture that caught my eye. It must have been. It was the same ring Kim Young-hee was wearing.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o1TVvKH5h
"This ring….."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMArJkuf6vj
"Oh, do you like that design?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuqZcybi2m
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ZNVkuqor
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgccxIPYfY
"When did you make this ring?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko9KNcP4xd
"Hmm. I don't know, but it must have been less than half a year."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoouaS7qGD
"Isn't this a coupling?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXKmrByrzR
"Yes. This is suitable for marriage proposals or gifts."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4H8F8vWeh
"Then they must have bought it from the man's side?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp09VvekLAg
"What….Is that right?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXH0PJXNL2
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPRZjRIXKw
"Wait, go to the bathroom... ."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGZuyqqU1r
"Oh, yes. It is over there."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt3xEDkcVD
Headed in the direction the manager pointed. He felt a stare on his back. Pretending not to know, he folded into the bathroom aisle.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoUjqGtO9O
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zFOAD32Cb
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMWS8Etq1X
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgglif493sz
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd546q8J7o
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBHsPj7ufF
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE3mgSZxhH
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTn7fALGjl
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRRCERrbTu
"Looks like you're busy, but I'll come back next time."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzJSWQ5byL
"Yes? No, I…."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxhdqDCZFu
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TDXnxUtjl
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFFivZ06ud
–Senior, did you succeed?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVlFLPbbmT
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sp0HbpnDj
–Is that an insult?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4l9IfFpF8
"It's up to you to hear the compliments."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2MCKeqZ0E
–The ring, did you check it? Were you really there?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gnoRSrjCG
"Huh. found the ring. Now I just need to find someone."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzsVNG4lOV
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMk2O0EaBc
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpmB5pQeWo
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLFX7epSqs
"This….."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaBrlMtXeE
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjjSyCuUGC
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcynsAiTRW
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGikzMRXSM
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3325msUNw
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmZdJUYwp3
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAKRRXg7MQ
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtelpzrqqq
"........."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrP6JethaF
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzG5jGndhz
There was a subway station entrance nearby. He pretended to be passing by, then suddenly turned and entered.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBAalDOJGm
"Follow me!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5paDEwYzr
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghOdFl2s49
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYmXX3aPYQ
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfM7PxojeF
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGeScTwSDc
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQopr5Dp7CA
".....Whoops!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWyO3wqgLz
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnId2wmXBF
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIEp4tgFly
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgggXXZMfO
"Uh. Have you checked?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzqxiK8TnG
–Senior... Isn't this synthetic or something?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxP7cw1l0h
Yoon Jong-woo asked in a bewildered tone. Wasn't the name found on the sales slip the same person?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG70jfTVrCu
"Why is that?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAhnQx0N3u
– …..I think you'd better see it for yourself. I sent it now.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEqbzK9hUJ
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kB5jP29gx
He put the phone to his ear again.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwXlI8fmDv
"The back of my head is tingling."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFFmQ3fjtk
–Certainly this one fits better. What are you going to do now? Shall we send this data to the prosecutor in charge?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbELB5TtAb
"No, not yet."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89NVFFhgAm
–Why? Where else can you find more convincing evidence than this?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxZJsWCDJw
He arrived at the next station. After taking a careful look around, he hurriedly got off.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpPWP1CnzU
"This is not enough. I need something more decisive that I can never get out of."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIZAaZMprV
–What is it?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8vF4zVafa
"I'll have to look for it. I'll contact you again, so until then, Jong-woo, look around for that guy."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUXVbHgNcT
Now he said it openly. Before Yoon Jong-woo could say anything, he said, "I believe it," and hung up the phone one-sidedly.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIygFiQEIy2
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpd6PLuHiX
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'.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzReQrYjR6
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiydxuiRH5v
–.......

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHls0njZex
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmHdOrCakY
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMejK8d3u0P
"Who are you?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLXZhx97b7
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoHeITsuQA
Is it a guy?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUgj5yUVxb
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1e9o0VKvL
Soon the call ended. His phone, which he hurriedly checked, was switched to the standby screen.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSdPWgTPtu
Is he really a bastard? How the hell339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjCP8O1AgT
I had a vague memory.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ9YCF9VnY

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWxFLVdzwm
"....Shit."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jH7LCxsWG
He gripped his throbbing chest tightly. His strong heart, which he had always been proud of, went berserk even at the thought of Zenya.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZNRIz60ae

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Fcy96aNA
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLqHdodppG
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLkzd9JUb5
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFPMzuh4cA
".....I missed it."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLGOhS0qnB
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFDJJoubYe
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2gYlBC4s3
"So, what did he do in the PC room?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dFiuttRxL

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb7d5oFDlD
"Okay, go out. Report immediately when location is known."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY3NaYa9Ou
"Yes."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Q9gkf4xw
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmuMG9eisI
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EP0GvA49J
He was about to take the key out of his pocket and unlock it beforehand. Suddenly, the driver's door slammed open.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60OaZEEyNC
"I'm back, boss."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKS0PQrsLj
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX7HT2hJG1
"Long time no see."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5TWiqA6vv
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIGS9croR2
Director Lim pretended nothing had happened.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHj3Hd9KrT
"How is your mother?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhprAJ7uYr
"Well. I think the manager knows that better than I do."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoVK3mAhxG
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsUTSLAdvB
He held up his cell phone in front of him.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVQof97ADN

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONRE3A6ZcR
"What is this?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbrN7hhCos
"You know this better than I do, right?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPnKKOmwx0
"I don't know what you mean."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU4MHUNYy7
"Then would you know if you saw this?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cZfBO9QWh
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt716MmeeOv
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEI6J6F9S5
"So?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMknzE0HSP
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStn5Ygnlwx
After a while, he looked at Director Lim.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVnz8TuGTb
"Why did you do that to me? Deputy Chief 1 says that if this work goes well, he will give me a special promotion?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ5PEKgeJ6
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AZbWQn688
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6ZEE1BvZh
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAHw481OW7
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv1jnurMxa
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCG1nLXlc8
Director Lim smiled triumphantly.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV2MzlweY8
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3cbgXiJca
"I'm not here to see who has the advantage."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BigLT2MB3
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbeJVBzo16
Kwon Taek-ju's chin shook. The eyes grew even fiercer.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5YEGwZo9k
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ3Xf2Z0MP
"....Oh, you're really going to get mad."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKME4T5Dtaz
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwB0sFQDqm
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfWwppyuSE
"Then do you remember this saying? I can't accept the collapse of my career, where I always achieved 100%."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhmpSmAduw
"Are you saying you're going to do it alone?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlwMuMlPaY
"That means you can't die alone."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsgoYhnAxh
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNLL5JQ2Kd
Slowly bit the colt. Lim, who closed his eyes tightly, smiled dejectedly. He stared at him silently, then jerked away. A warning flew.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhruFPUw7XZ
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRRZan1abD
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvArqlm8V5
Suddenly, the emergency exit becomes noisy.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhJuBYfxoQ

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0jx9z68a8

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBZA6BZ8DL
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCD2gQN6f2
"Stay still!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4T3ASIUIM
"If it moves, shoot!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDr98YykvY
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yYdTDU3aL
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDBJXEquHC
He abandoned the car in the middle and walked aimlessly down the deserted market road.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbR1j5eXuN

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr0MgZDyV0
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKTKYtVbrp
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCcL70xKbO
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cTzrpyQAO
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAsRggz8AJ
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCZWJo0Lar
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Xzysa6iF
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflqO42If6K
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsNtKJ362n
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5hOXipbGc
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkdF4BCBej
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgkLzfpFbj
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkWSg1Rp4w
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdv7QVF9Ys
At that time, he vaguely felt someone's presence.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjX3sIzcIK

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2ZkFHgpbY
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G6JVzUfaf
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTli8O72mJr
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkDvepIgBx
''Taek-ju, why... .''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYcuUyWKBY
A faint voice rings in his ears. He looked down bewilderedly. Then, the child disappeared, and Zenya appeared and held his whole body down.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5VkOyuooI
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0RgreG0YL
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHsBiHVcgg
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80yrdsELzZ

His heart started beating out of control again.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRQeWo9jPG

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyiFeHkeAm
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71f4u2kYAQ
Why?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAh5Y3lWW7
The rebuking voice blew like a gust of wind. In an instant, an unknown tingling sensation pierced his entire body.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDZHpFxzl2
".......!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfWxxHxPJm
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbilQqN4qm0
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJkShi9esi

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9YSsoQdB4
His heart pounded and he took a hard breath.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bgt0vQ96g

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oVRNwwLug
It was only after that that he recognized the prickly pain coming from a subtle place. The lower leg, looking down in surprise, stiffened.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJD56SjtnI

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv1QKhQkjV
For what…..

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvHYe8Mf9N
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEwgRNtK1i
"Fuck, am I really a homo?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhTgX6TTMg
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGogaZSLDK
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDsR6Er83W
He hurriedly moved his steps along the road where the dawn had begun.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J0aogn3Ga
There were few people in the bathroom just after rush hour. At most, it was Kwon Taek-ju and a couple of elderly people.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0CVvNc6Bu
Thanks to that, he even rented a sauna. A sweltering aura spread through his entire body.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRX2Suvrwi

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPxfFdMzvM
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR722zxHkF

The nature of the evidence to be found to establish the truth would also be different.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXtpeK2ZQ3
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?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcmngzZhww
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgKsMTunp7
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfh836T8Ew
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dou8dJeZa
–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!

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ560lIa3RLE
"Oh, is that so?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4ogiLoQON
–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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXlS3bKGaL
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe7ZQOSHca
–Why, why?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvMnfLjbCL
Let's call warmly, I'm going to go in the middle of the day.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiQqU1JYVu
"Do you think I shot Director Lim too?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqGAhrSvcS
–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!

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80zmmCHQfR
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NzoYYx5WO
–Yes? Uh how!

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP0Hb1eKke
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F9Yvl7qMt
–Ahh! Screwed up! It's ruined!

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdE8JrhfPe
"Then why can't I get caught? If you don't want to get into trouble, just recite what you've researched."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj5JL9ERBA
–...1st deputy chief. You know you were at the Korean Embassy in the US before, right?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTXfXY1fg8
He speaks in a dejected voice. He could feel the early resignation of my situation from the tone.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi90QasF9wU
–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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lQ3dnlXJp
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrvR6DyUsq
He unilaterally instructed and ended the call. As usual, he turned off the power right away.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VOFyXDZTL
Then a new guest came in. This time, it was an old man with gray hair. He sewed his clothes as if nothing had happened.

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztgZpKJdo7
"......."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQaZgNXlBK
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugckaaFpMI
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNpyjafXEO
He shook his head. Quickly take out his clothes and put them on. He remembered what he had to do first.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpig6GyS9m2
"It will sting a lot."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqDBS2B2FV
He nodded at the doctor's warning. A surgical drape was immediately applied over the surgical site.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3dJlRykiI
".....Hmm. It seems like it hasn't been long since you engraved it?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWY7Bbnlsx
The doctor muttered to himself as he touched the tattoo. After a while, the power of the laser device turned on with a thump.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD3nmTsjN6
"Then let's begin."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJKa58gE5T
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kJ8TEjH0M
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3SjSwCdLj
"It's great...ugh….."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw06u6aqNB
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6AJY2tHjx
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC54kiUJy1
''Someone said this is a symbol of desire.''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxBq1jB324
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3bo2f7jp6
''It's just a contract connecting the master and the servant.''

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaHHADkZll
He also clearly remembers Zenya's ridicule.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DW6xuJwwh
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5hkz1eNbI
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePwfPCDh0z
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKVkrLt4J1
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8zWG33eMT
There would be no going back.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Dc3JxYyK
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3MaawwOVP
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrHM9i5Uee
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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyWm6NgtWG
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpoYJoJ0SE
"That person, too."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNZ7cXha6g
In addition to the two people, plainclothes policemen were always on standby in the hospital room. It was part of personal protection.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sinFCUTfl
"I'm sorry I'm on duty, but please step aside for a moment."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGwqwfvzR1
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyeOhxMh8d
As soon as the door closed, the friendly smile disappeared from the first deputy director.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo37hPsfGgi
"That friend, is your location still undetermined?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpU8K78j2q
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6NIq1JUHW
"You are so peaceful in the midst of this, you."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqKAMPQf4E
The first deputy chief showed an uncomfortable psychology. Director Lim changed the subject with a unique smirk and said, "More than that."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Ic3ZaABt
"Isn't it more urgent to silence Lee Cheol-jin?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUkyJyhP3G
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkUD7dI7Uh
Deputy Director 1 added a word quietly while boasting.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRJEYLwRIS
"Probably won't make it past today."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69os7QrKXL
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUeROWWHt5
"No. 342. Talk to a lawyer."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxCjcFiEHX
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE4CbEOsye
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApUUWj3vkn
"Long time no see."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ9BMk5TFp
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoDwID5JOF
"Mr. Lee Cheol-jin. Why do you keep trying to harm yourself?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeW7IFOtwM
"Do you know who only waits for death?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqMc0xHqcc
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RiNZVVL7h
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI92g8NJvM
"I heard Kim Young-hee had a lover?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTspRZZZHOR
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?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrNqG9qxf1
"I saw it clearly on the boat, and it was gone. The ring Kim Young-hee wore."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWiVYyXJ99
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwsfWTbNSP
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIs4MbVQf2
"I even put a gag on it so that I can't die carelessly. Even that has disappeared."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFen1aWCKnr
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScWIQLYFEu
"Sit down. I'm not here to compromise with you."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfDwFYZpkC
"Are you here to hide?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ15kcfQuO
"I was wondering if the older brother knew that he was stabbed in the back of the head."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAPD5ZhoOI
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGHgoufPnH

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCUcA5uwbx
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31GVZ2UovW
"Anyway, that guy might be the next NIS chief."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1DNw4yfjC
".....You said you were the head of the National Intelligence Service?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ2Xl7GMVV
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xHHsckrkm
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ADo1yTHAI
"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."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdmGiGk8rC
"Yes, why are you trying to reveal the truth? Isn't that a pain in the ass?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOeLYCgy57
"Certainly annoying. But how come you've already been hit by one? What cannot be undone must be repaid."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcfnyYZQtg
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzHLAktQ2w

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3aSr6u5yP
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ1PpDQ9w9
"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?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhuyP1oL75
He persuaded Lee Cheol-jin again. But he kept his mouth shut and his head down. Doesn't even flinch.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6z4RgbygK
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCQJDmMGPw
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ho8ESRq30
Even so, Lee Cheol-jin did not budge.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu9EePeW0G

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckilVZHbfP
"....Whoops!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5IpltQYkN
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26oHo8xstc
"Hey! Is there anyone out there!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jheU0nZAL
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUIppEXy7Q
"Ugh….."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeJnGeK3Yd
Lee Cheol-jin ran his fingers through the wound.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YgzpbrnaG

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSCB6embti
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIjRQpTCJG
"Is there a problem!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuKYNhMdeW
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXcb35wM6L
A prison guard approached Kwon Taek-ju, who was startled.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jGtP2GZmt
"Have you tried to harm yourself?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiao0VARZb
"No. I had a sudden seizure during an interview. Have you ever had a problem with your diet or suffered from a disease?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj35ZOn0fJ
"No….Such a thing...."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyEfsaVsmE
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF04AfokmTv
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9m1YjlZEM
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVdwxDkJrp
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDMbhi4X0Q
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeP1w5eNpJ
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAviEvcw0Ef
"In-hwa, please."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijO33CttB4
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxTGTm9VgK
"There are quite a few... All of this?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWW5AhYRaq
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtwuPIg0An

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

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLsnYezxu3
"How long will it take to print all these pictures?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qnMoNEEhr
"There are so many that it will take a couple of hours."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlMizYGSQY
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbuH6JpV21

Was the movement route captured by CCTV?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinbYvv2K5Y
"What happened outside? It's been noisy ever since."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Awd8VHj4
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1YLrLOE3S
"Would you mind sending the pictures over here as soon as they appear?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS30Not85t
".....Is this the prosecutor's office?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhRASbCHQz
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ptUKawNc
"Then please."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuYFVrP3zP
The photographer nodded bewildered. Kwon Taek-ju slightly bowed, then took his memory card and left the photo studio.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNLtcZEZbw
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOyne4EIUe
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtIRCmVpRZ

Perhaps more personnel were deployed inside.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8tTxt4RKK
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Tg9PFrXd

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCbewayyLm
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCEgK46fLn
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHMheJIAQV
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK8OBhEOal
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRzkDojfft
"Oh, sir. Aren't you off today?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYWx5LIlyC
"Ah….."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq41vFMGGe
At the suspicious voice, the detectives looked closely at the station again.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJP1F7hOuS
"I changed it to tomorrow."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl8uVBbmVi
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jvtADmkLd
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuErAlwpixP
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFgjrm0TeK
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKgpwJ4CXN
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB35yXUqTS
He looked around again, but he couldn't detect any other signs. He approached carefully and inspected the condition of the unconscious.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqyENh8a8f

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzniGmU3eh
".......!"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ePEDGPjo
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.

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.

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3mMpLUWtS
".....Excuse me, but are you a guardian?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0biJyF5frJ
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Z39kLNjS
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.

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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoac5AI0oy
The problem was Zenya. He couldn't leave him with her mother.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN5TzAtO29
"Come out with me for a second. I have something to tell you."

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMq3kT4dEh
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWeSqCRKBK
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcKCkXmTCb
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pr1NY4PnN
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWDRjk1jVj
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.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzfVe617U3
Drrrr…..drrrr…..

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSA7sgS1Lh
Right after that, the cell phone next to the door rang loudly. On the screen, the phrase 'Caller ID Display Restriction' appeared.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW2gOL0TdB
His hair fluttered with a burst of laughter. His mind flashed incessantly, sounding a belated alarm.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGTyHz81Js
Soon, his face approached Kwon Taek-ju's ear.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbSep2exCV
"Did you enjoy playing hide-and-seek?"

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBy5diYEsS
There was deep joy in the whispering voice. It seemed as if the floor he was standing on was utterly collapsing.
