#Episode 273, Why does he come out from there?
People chasing information.
People who work in national intelligence agencies and daily newspaper reporters who are treated as trash have one thing in common.
Does this smell like something?
– In a situation like this, you can never stop.
The moment you smell it, it’s like you’ve already fallen into a severe addiction.
because… ,
Once the urge kicks in, the withdrawal symptoms become unbearable and things that cross the line often happen.
There may be differences, some for money, others for a sense of duty,
Whether it’s the so-called trash,
Whether you are an agent who works hard day and night for national security,
In fact, they are similar in that they can’t help it either.
Following, surveillance, wiretapping, breaking and entering, theft.
The collection of information is essentially an activity that requires one of these five activities.
So, some crimes become legitimate feats and achievements, and some efforts – depending on the regime, are judged by the law.
In that respect, wouldn’t it be possible to say that luck is the most important thing when dealing with information?
National Intelligence Service Director Byun Sang-ki, who still does not know that his hair has been blown away, has just received a nasty report from the overseas deputy director.
“I have information about a person named George Kim who entered the country today.”
“George Kim… ?”
Korean-American.
Illegal arms dealer.
Presumed to be under the protection of the Spanish government.
… The file presented by the overseas deputy director contained only a very basic profile.
It was clear that he was a person of interest just because he was an illegal arms dealer, but
What Director Byun paid attention to was the last update date stamped at the end of the record.
“… “Is this a record from General Han’s time?”
At the time, the National Intelligence Service was operated as an intelligence agency under the martial law command.
It was characterized by thorough control of internal records of the institution, such as only the information that was assembled and completed was kept by the leadership as analog documents, and all front-line records were deleted.
In short, the remaining records are all missing substance,
In other words, it means that a person ‘who may be missing something’ has entered the country.
“yes. I am a black-haired foreigner with no ties to Korea. “In the first place, this friend’s information was first updated during the time of General Han.”
“Hmm. This bastard, they say it’s clear that he had a fling with General Han. … “Are you watching?”
“ah. Well, there was an agent who was there right away, but they said he missed it a little while ago.”
“… Tsk.”
Director Byeon clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it, but the overseas deputy director smiled and said.
“It is said that they have confirmed that it will enter the ‘Haeseon’.”
“Haeseon?”
Haeseon (海仙) is a high-class restaurant where people from the political and business circles gather, and Director Byun was familiar with it.
Director Byun’s face quickly filled with anticipation.
Identifying the people who came and went there during that time is the most basic thing.
“The identified figures are Director of Foreign Affairs Coordination Office Oh Wang-guk, Samwang Construction CEO Kim Eui-seong, Representative Lee Jung-gil, and Eastern District Prosecutors’ Office Chief Park Sun-cheol… .”
“The list is done. So, who do you think will be the most influential among them?”
“The director of the Office for Foreign Affairs Coordination’s last stop before entering the country was Spain.”
“haha. “The picture is getting fun.”
“I couldn’t tell you everything, but George Kim was someone who accompanied me from the beginning.”
“Who is that again?”
“Guchangsu.”
“… … !”
330414 Head of the group.
The hottest name in the National Intelligence Service recently was Koo Chang-soo.
Director Byeon suddenly stood up from his seat.
Because I had a feeling that something was going on.
But it’s still just a vague feeling that it’s something big and great… .
Concretizing it was something that had to start now.
“Let’s just stay still…” “Who among the guys who handled information during the martial law era are still alive?”
“If you look for friends who have simply taken off their clothes, you won’t know anything. Anyone who knows anything is either dead or in the north… .”
Director Byun pointed to the space where the name of the document writer was written.
“Is this guy named Yang Jae-jin dead too?”
“That friend is Agent Black who killed the Chief of Operations at the time and ran away. “It’s not the same as not being there now.”
“ah… . That guy… . “It seems to me that even the strangest things are related to this incident.”
“Even so, there is no way for us to know. However, looking at the time of writing, one thing came to mind.”
“Something.”
“JS Opats.”
“JSO?”
“This was the time when JSO began supplying magic engineering espionage equipment. I also heard this somewhere… , It is said that in the beginning, JSO researchers were involved in interpreting the information.”
“hmm… .”
That makes sense.
No, it had to be that way.
Although JSO’s spy equipment has been in use up to now, they still receive help from JSO when something goes wrong with the magic circuit.
As an intelligence officer at the time, in order to use technology for the first time in my life in actual operations, I would definitely need assistance from JSO.
“good… . Check with JSO right now. “This may sound sensitive depending on how you perceive it, so approach it with as much caution as possible.”
“All right.”
***
Since it was a place I had been to once, I was immediately transported there.
Former headquarters building of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
Now called the residence of the President of the United States of Korea.
As soon as I arrived, I was faced with an alarm sound and a series of stinging gazes.
“… … .”
It’s not just a look at an intruder.
If I had seen it as an intruder, I would have rushed at it already.
Of course, when I came here, I had Han Seong-jun’s face, so it’s not like he doesn’t know me.
It was an ironic situation in which I became a complete George Kim with a polymorph tattoo, and my real face was reflected as an illusion.
After standing there confused for a moment, Joo Ja-heon approached me, separating the guards surrounding me.
“Why are they being so mean?”
Joo Ja-heon stood next to me, looked around, and said with a grin.
“They look better than I thought, right? “Remember what you did when you came before.”
ah… Was that why?
The moment when I was crossing the line of ‘Baby Seongjun’ due to the influence of Magi… .
At that time, the body of reality was wreaking havoc.
I just guessed it based on the devastated surroundings.
Anyway, I bowed my head four times in all directions.
It wasn’t intentional, but I should apologize.
“uh… I’m sorry. “I was out of my mind at that time.”
There is no way my father would have properly explained my condition at the time to these low-ranking soldiers.
Tuk-tuk!
Joo Ja-heon patted my shoulder as if I had done well and walked ahead.
I followed Joo Ja-heon and passed some slightly softened gazes.
When we were alone climbing the stairs of the main building, I opened my mouth.
“There’s no way I still don’t have my father’s personal phone… . “You don’t say how long he’s going to stick with you?”
Why is the guy who followed my father to contact my father and son in the first place still here?
Of course, I know that it’s because I disappeared again for about 10 months,
In the end, it means whether you got along well with your father.
“Now the general will be disappointed without me.”
“under! “What about you?”
“Honestly, when it comes to fun work, working under the general is the best.”
“Please come back. “I’ll make it fun for you from now on, too.”
“Think about it.”
Joo Ja-heon glanced back and asked.
“Are you okay now?”
“Were you nearby last time too?”
“I stayed far away until the general came out. “I felt like I would die if I stepped forward for no reason.”
“Good job.”
It’s a joke about my nagging, telling me to please take care of my own life.
Making an awkward joke with Joo Ja-heon,
There was something touching about being able to smile again.
Like he said, it meant that he thought of me as a friend.
Joo Ja-heon seemed to have arrived in front of his father’s office and stopped walking.
smart!
“This is Joo Ja-heon.”
The phrase “who are you” here is actually meaningless.
Because my father already knows I’m here.
Jump and jump.
There were footsteps inside and someone opened the door.
Crash.
“omg!”
I looked at the other person and was embarrassed.
I really had a brief brain freeze.
‘Why is she coming out of her father’s room?’
The man who opened the door grinned and gestured for me to go in, then passed me and went out into the hallway.
“Why are you saying… .”
I was about to ask Joo Ja-heon, ‘Why didn’t you tell me earlier?’ When I looked back at the man, the man… No, Yushin faintly shook his head.
‘… Joo Ja-heon didn’t know.’
As expected, the current Yushin had a face I had never seen before.
It was an illusion-type magic like mine now, but Joo Ja-heon wasn’t at the level yet to see through it.
Yushin disappeared down the hallway as if he had just finished his business.
“… … .”
Yushin also told me not to pretend to know anything,
Since I didn’t know what was going on, I gathered my dazed mind and went inside.
Joo Ja-heon closed the door and walked away.
‘I’m sure your father knows?’
Even the fact that he was the mastermind behind the Cheongsong terrorist incident and the leader of the Choo Hae-gwan group.
I had already made eye contact with my father, who was sitting at the table in front.
“What happened?”
My father said it was no big deal.
“China and Russia are trying to host a Lac-Vishia base in Manchuria.”
It seems like he was scared of his father.
“I guess they were thinking of using it as a shield.”
“okay. So, I told that friend that if he doesn’t want to confront me, he shouldn’t.”
… … Was it really that simple?
“No, that’s not what I’m talking about. “I mean, since when did the two of you start talking peacefully?”
“Lakh-Vishia is a variable in our work. I’ve been thinking about ousting or removing them for a while. So, for this matter, I went to see him first.”
No wonder it was a hostile visit.
However, I was curious as to how the negotiation mood had changed, so I listened quietly.
“When I met him, he was more unique than I thought. He’s definitely human… , It has the heart of a demon. “He probably had a transplant.”
“… … .”
Was it the heart of a demon?
I felt something had changed after meeting him in Rakvisha, but I didn’t know why.
At that time, there was not as much information about demons as there is now.
“The problem was the soul. “It was a very simple and incomplete fragment.”
“What does that mean?”
“Before I…” .”
My father stopped talking and shook his head with a serious expression on his face.
“What is it? “Keep talking.”
“no. “I’m just saying I reached out first because I needed to get to know him a little bit.”
“ah! “It makes me so curious, where is something like that?”
“It’s still just a guess. The more you listen, the more complicated it becomes. Rather… “Are you feeling better now?”
My mind was filled with questions about Yushin, but
I also knew very well that I could never break my father’s stubbornness anyway.
So I gave up right away.
“… … He said to stop by when you’ve calmed down. “I must have come because I felt better.”
Although the words did not come out nicely.
My father must have prepared it in advance, or he picked up the file on the table and handed it to me.
Let’s open the file,
There was a photo of a bright red jewel and an invitation with the date and location written on it.
“uh… ?”
This has already surfaced?
Mythical trash that looks like a jewel,
It was the top of the Balrog.
“I was going to explain it to you earlier, but I forgot about your condition. But one of them was up for auction.”
