Side story episode 52
The spotted owl barely made it past the guard post.
Fortunately, the sentry recited the words that Wolhwa had left behind, but I almost panicked.
Fortunately, after I told them the password and my identity as Wolhwa, they let me through for the time being.
Do you think a sentry would know all the structures of those many organizations?
The polka dot followed the direction in which the moon and fire disappeared.
It was an annex built behind the parking lot.
The sound came from the bathroom.
Wolhwa’s voice sounds like she’s having a conversation with someone.
“…Who are you talking to?”
A spotted dog with a nervous expression slowly approached the wall.
“Why are you asking for my name?”
“I was just curious.”
“… Where do you belong?”
“If you tell me your name, I’ll tell you mine too.”
“Wait a minute. Tell me the password first.”
The face of the dotted cat that was listening from outside became serious.
In the organization, people did not ask each other’s names without a special reason.
All conversations had to be for operational purposes only, and we trained for years to do so.
So, anyone who looks at Wolhwa’s actions cannot help but be suspicious.
But that voice was one that Polkadot knew all too well.
“Hey, what’s wrong? I was just joking around.”
“Tell me the password.”
“Oh, why do they all ask for the password first? Is the lock a dream?”
“You’re an outsider.”
The conflicted Dotty kicked open the door to the women’s bathroom and went in.
Then he pulled the handle all the way and roughly closed it.
What we’re going to talk about from now on is going to be a little, no, a lot dangerous.
The woman’s eyes widened when she saw him.
“you…….”
“It’s been a while.”
The spotted man greeted awkwardly.
“This is the women’s bathroom.”
“I know. I think there’s been some misunderstanding.”
“misunderstanding?”
The woman looked at the two men alternately and asked.
“You need to help me.”
“What is that now… … .”
“Let’s put down all the rules and talk.”
“No way, you!”
Instead of answering, the spotted man threw the dagger he had been carrying at his side onto the sink.
“Right. So decide. Will you help me or kill me?”
“Just having this conversation is killing me.”
“Then it’s decided. Help me. Like I did before.”
The woman’s distorted eyebrows slowly straightened.
“…What on earth are you doing?”
“That’s what people like us do.”
“Double agents are executed regardless of reason. Anyone who spoke to you before you were caught is shot.”
“Are you saying this because I don’t know?”
As the conversation became more interesting, Wolhwa, who had been watching, crossed her arms and stepped back.
“If you want to die, die alone.”
The polka dot blocked the woman’s path as she tried to go out.
Then she suddenly put her hand into her jumper pocket and pulled something out.
It was a pack containing green powder.
“Living like this isn’t a normal life.”
“What? A normal life? How much effort has the organization put into raising you?”
“Yes, I did. I gave him a lot of medicine.”
“If the organization hadn’t taken us in, we would have died long ago. We wouldn’t have even had this opportunity.”
“Do we have to keep living like this? How long? You know that. We’re just consumables.”
“… … .”
“I need a story. Make my sister the sole survivor of a battle in the military camp.”
The spotted man pointed to the moon and flower leaning against the wall.
“Do you think that’s possible?”
“… Don’t make me say the same thing again. I helped you last time, but this time I might kill you. Answer me properly.”
His hand reached for the dagger that had fallen on the sink.
It looked like he was going to cut it down at any moment.
The woman’s eyes became complicated as she looked at that sight.
This was not an easy decision to make.
This is an outpost located in the rear of the front lines and the center of the organization.
If you act carelessly, you will most likely be found out right away.
but…….
She couldn’t turn down polka dots.
“…I know someone who died in that battle.”
“I’ll go out first, so give his personal information to your older sister and tell her what to watch out for. Consider this as paying back all your debt to me.”
“wait for a sec.”
“why?”
“Tell me what you’re trying to do. You might be able to fool me for a while, but you’ll get caught soon. You know that. You have to take the medicine regularly. Your body won’t be able to handle it.”
“I have to find out where the executives are gathering. I have to do it even if it means dying.”
The woman was at a loss for words.
Because it was the first time I saw a polka dot go this far for others.
“And you don’t have to worry about the medicine. That doesn’t work on this girl.”
“But why do you keep calling me ‘sister’?”
“That’s right, sister. She’s four years older than me. Yeonjin is five years older than you.”
The woman called Yeonjin looked over Wolhwa carefully.
No matter how I look at it, it looks like a minor… … .
But Yeonjin quickly erased the thought.
I had so many questions to ask, but the place wasn’t right.
“That’s all I can do for you. Do the rest yourself. Don’t involve me.”
“of course.”
With those words, the spotted dog left the bathroom.
*???*???*
An hour later.
Dotted was in the basement of the school building with Wolhwa.
To be exact, I was in hiding to find something.
He muttered in a whisper.
“I repeat, my concern is not the drug, but the whereabouts of the leadership. If you want to cause trouble by stirring up trouble, then stop here.”
“It’s so noisy I could die… … .”
Wolhwa, hiding in the corner of the hallway, shakes her head.
“That’s why we do this, because it’s that dangerous.”
“Yes, yes, that’s right. But what’s your relationship with that girl from earlier? The girl named Yeonjin.”
“There is something like that.”
“Hey, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Stop talking nonsense and get moving.”
“This is for you, sister… … .”
“People, people.”
As the iron door flew open, the two quickly hid inside the storage room.
The cramped interior was so cluttered with all sorts of clutter that there wasn’t even enough room to step.
Wolhwa placed her hand on the dagger as she watched the light seeping in from under the door.
If the door were to open, I would kill him without hesitation.
however…….
Shhh! Shhh!
‘gas mask?’
The faint sound of breathing from afar was clearly a gas mask.
While Wolhwa followed the sound and looked around.
The polka dot couldn’t take its eyes off her, who was standing a palm’s length away and looking at the floor.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like he’s twenty, but his mental age is in his late twenties.
Above the high nose, the bright eyes sparkled in the light.
It had a strange charm.
While he shook his head to shake off his distracting thoughts.
The sound of footsteps that had come so close to my nose then disappeared down the hallway.
“I went up to the emergency exit.”
Wolhwa, who had been listening intently, took her hand off the dagger and spoke.
“Can you hear that?”
“Of course. Who am I?”
“Who is your older sister?”
“A secret weapon created by an eccentric scientist.”
“scientist……?”
“let’s go.”
Wolhwa walked out into the hallway, leaving behind the regretful Dots.
There was no sound whatsoever.
As I walked past the corner where I had hidden earlier, this time I heard the sound of something bubbling.
Of course, only for her.
“Why did you break up? You seemed so affectionate.”
“We’ve never dated. It’s not like that.”
“Men always talk about the past like that.”
“If you mumble like that, will anyone be able to hear you? You’ll miss any sounds you might hear.”
“Am I you… … .”
Wolhwa opened the iron door with an indifferent expression.
The embarrassed polka dot hid behind the door.
“Don’t be afraid and come in. There’s no one here.”
“Tell me about that in advance.”
“Just do it the way you want.”
Wolhwa’s eyes shook greatly as she entered while muttering.
Shelves lined up without a single inch of error and various experimental instruments adorning them.
The bubbling sound was coming from the inner shelf.
It seemed like something was boiling.
widely!
Wolhwa pushed the shoulder of the dotted one who was about to enter.
Then he picked up the gas mask from under the shelf and threw it.
There was no way to know what would happen if a spotted creature with a human body smelled this scent.
I don’t know for sure, but it was definitely poisonous.
The two stepped into an unidentified laboratory.
A large cauldron was fitted with a funnel-shaped device, through which the steam collected was liquefied and led through transparent tubes to several beakers.
Wolhwa began to take thorough pictures of the inside of the laboratory with the instant camera she had brought in advance.
The polka dot said.
“…What on earth is all this?”
Wolhwa, who was taking pictures, stopped in front of a large aquarium.
“It’s a puffer fish! How cute!”
“Now is not the time to be talking about that… … .”
“Tetrodotoxin, the poison of pufferfish, poppies, marijuana. Man, this place is a total den of crime. It’s all the stuff you only see in movies.”
“Movie? What movie?”
“Did you grow up without watching movies?”
“It was 11 years ago. Anyway, Tet… what’s all that about?”
“These are poisons and herbs that can kill, hallucinate, or paralyze people. If used properly, they can also be used as medicine.”
“You’re saying this isn’t all I’ve ever eaten?”
“That’s probably right.”
Wolhwa, who had taken over twenty photos, muttered as she collected a few samples of the materials.
“But why are you taking this picture?”
“We need to know how to make it so we can prepare for it. There must be a lot of people hiding in Seoul with this kind of medicine.”
“It’s dangerous… … .”
“Where on earth did they get all these pufferfish? And the hemp and poppies too.”
“Since it’s a plant, it will probably be grown nearby.”
“Have you seen anything strange while you were here?”
“I didn’t see it. We just received education.”
“hmm…….”
Wolhwa had a serious expression on her face that didn’t match her appearance.
When we look at these materials individually, they don’t seem to pose much of a threat.
Of course, small amounts of tetrodotoxin can kill people, but this alone would not be enough to cause as much harm as one might think.
So, does that mean that new types of substances are created through other materials or manufacturing processes?
If the substance is water-soluble and its concentration can be easily controlled, then the story is different.
Seoul still relies on the Paldang Dam, so if poison were to enter any part of the tap water process, unthinkable things would happen.
Wolhwa, who had finished thinking, put the camera away and said.
“We need to change our strategy.”
“how?”
“You stay at the outpost for the time being. Don’t go anywhere.”
“What about your sister?”
“I have to bring this.”
“alone?”
“It would be much more natural if both of them disappeared. Take good care of your girlfriend.”
“I told you, she’s not my girlfriend.”
The spotted man answered with a strange frown.
That was when.
As Wolhwa turned around, her ears perked up.
“Someone is coming. There are many people.”
“He’s done for. Where are you hiding? Oh, this is a gas mask, so your breathing will be loud.”
It wasn’t a matter of life or death.
If two people work together, is there an opponent they can’t defeat?
However, I had work to do so I couldn’t get caught.
“This way.”
Wolhwa took the spotted cat and crouched under a large shelf with sliding doors.
When the two people who had hidden in the narrow space again closed the sliding door of the shelf.
The sound of the iron door opening was accompanied by the mingling of voices.
“How much is available for immediate use?”
“It weighs about 100 kg.”
“That’s not enough. Produce 100 kg more by the weekend.”
“I will try my best.”
“No, I don’t need your best. Just do it. It’s an order from above. We have to leave on Sunday morning, so make sure it goes off without a hitch.”
“…yes.”
“Be honest. How many kilos can you lift?”
“that is…….”
“I don’t think you’ll complain about the lack of manpower. It’s just people.”
“Oh, that’s impossible.”
“Right. How did that happen? Virus activation.”
“Dr. Jeong is doing his best.”
“Where is Dr. Jeong?”
“You know, it’s limited information.”
“Fuck, how do you know something I don’t?”
“…sorry.”
“Oh, that’s enough. What am I talking about with you? I’ll tell you again, you must gain 100 kg more by Sunday. If you don’t have time, don’t eat or sleep. Got it?”
“All right.”
“let’s go.”
The sound of footsteps moving away and the door slamming shut.
Judging by the noise, it seemed like the man was alone in the room.
At that time, Wolhwa spoke in a low, breathy voice.
“Let’s go out.”
“… What? Are you crazy?”
“We have to take that guy no matter what.”
“No, wait a minute.”
The spotted one, who was sitting with his knees crossed, grabbed Wolhwa’s arm.
“What are you going to do?”
“I told you. I’ll take you. Go out first.”
thud!
Wolhwa opened the door forcefully and roughly pushed the spotted one’s side.
