289 – Chapter 11. Patriot Train departs (5)

dawn.

The morning was bright.

Yumir and I ‘swapped’ with the parties in an underground parking lot near Busan Station, and the parties immediately left disguised in the car with the agents of the association.

“How is it, Jeon Yeong-hee?”

“It’s easy to memorize your name, Hyun Chul-soo.”

Me and Ymir became members of the security team.

I and Ymir both took on the appearances of those in disguise, and completely changed their appearances using the power of this ability.

“Uh, can’t we talk normally when we talk with magic barriers around us?”

“No. Be thorough. That’s the agent’s basic mindset.”

Even though Ymir dyed his hair black and changed his face to this ability, he wanted to be with Ymir and Do Ji-hwan when they were alone.

It’s still awkward, or it’s because I don’t like being called Jeon Young-hee from now on.

“But only when there are two of them. Jeon Yeong-hee and Hyeon Cheol-soo said they were lovers.”

“Even if it’s a romantic relationship, both of them are professional. Once the mission is settled without major problems, we have to return the seats to the parties involved, so let’s not ruin our reputation for nothing.”

“Why don’t we make it a fait accompli? If we openly spread rumors that we are patriotic…”

“Don’t say anything strange.”

“Aww.”

Or maybe it’s because it’s uncomfortable that I can’t be patriotic when I’m with you.

“If you’re a bodyguard, act like a bodyguard and professionally. You learned how to act as a bodyguard at the academy.”

“Just because it’s E-class.”

Ymir was E-class.

Now, the grade has risen to D-class, but at the beginning of the academy, I received the appropriate education as E-class.

And in the academy, E-class students are educated in advance in training appropriate for E-class when they go out into society.

That’s what security work is.

“I’m the senior, you’re the junior. And the other guy coming in is ‘Black’. Since the three of us are a team, there’s no need to feel awkward. Okay?”

“Huh? Wasn’t it four?”

“They said it was changed on the spot. I just got it right before I got into the car.”

“Ugh, variables.”

It’s just a variable I’m not too worried about.

rather comfortable

“Don’t think strangely about ‘Black Taejo’ for nothing. Okay?”

“Ugh, it seems strange because of prejudice.”

“It may be embarrassing, but just do it. Then, I’ll join you soon.”

“Hey.”

Ymir whines, but I distinctly remember her previous time as an agent of the Hero Association.

Ymir is a real fighter.

I will act professionally and I will never be trolling.

“Eggplant, Mr. Younghee.”

“Yes. Senior.”

After getting out of the car and checking the suit again, I immediately joined the ‘security team’.

“Chul-soo Hyun. Young-hee Jeon. Did the two of you kiss in the car?”

“I’m sorry, boss.”

“No, no. I was just kidding. Everyone seems nervous except you guys.”

Park Tae-sik, the team leader of the security team, giggled and pointed to the other members of the security team behind him.

“Let me introduce you. Mr. K. First of all, his name is ‘Kim Tae-sik.’

They were clearly conscious of one person, and that one was a ‘dark-haired young man’ wearing black sunglasses like the other agents.

“Nice to meet you, you two.”

Ymir is startled.

I was a little surprised, too, because I heard a low and profound voice that was completely different from the frivolous and patriotic young man we knew.

“i look forward to.”

“I would like to ask you to do better. If you are not in an SA situation, please follow my instructions first in the field.”

“Is it possible?”

It looks like an agent from the National Intelligence Service.

No, originally, if you say NIS black agent, you will be dressed like a reporter wearing a checkered shirt or an ordinary person, but Taejo now has all the NIS agents operating inside the facility in a Korean crime movie.

“Then, let’s move to our respective zones.”

“Yes. Then let’s go by train.”

Scary to move as a group with the security team, they disappeared to their respective locations one by one.

“Mr. Chul-soo Hyun. Did you volunteer for this mission?”

And after everyone disappeared and only our ‘team’ remained, Kim Tae-sik and Tae-jo began to ask cautiously.

“Yes. I’m out for the national interest.”

“You could die. I heard that you two are getting married this year.”

“It’s for the country.”

“…All right.”

Kim Tae (Cho)-sik nodded heavily and followed me.

“If that’s the case, I’ll tell you two separately. The security team will go to Kaesong, and you and I will go further north with very few people. To Shinuiju.”

“…….”

Ymir’s eyes flickered for a moment.

His eyes asked if it was different from the area I had mentioned before, but fortunately Taejo didn’t notice that.

“Then, before we talk. The two of you… by any chance.”

As Taejo headed to the site with us, he tapped the Taegeuk watch on his wrist.

“Do you know how much gold it takes to make a semiconductor?”

At that time, Harbin.

A street lined with shabby and dilapidated buildings.

The concrete walls are cracked as if they will crack at any moment, and only garbage is strewn about the streets.

It’s not trash.

A homeless man is lined up, covering himself with what appears to be a heap of garbage, protecting himself with mats and newspapers.

“Ugh, uh uh…”

Their actions were like zombies, but there are no zombies in modern times.

Demons exist, but zombies haven’t appeared yet, so there’s no way zombies exist, but they’re obviously sluggish like zombies and just repeat the same actions without any purpose.

Not a big deal.

I’m just drunk on drugs, and that drug is opium.

“hehehe, the great leader comrade…”

Sputtering nonsense to himself, the focus is on the illusion, not the reality.

While the streets are full of such people, several black cars cross the street and head towards a warehouse.

profit.

When the car stopped and the door opened, blonde women got out from inside.

They were all wearing black suits, with sunglasses and masks covering their faces, and swords at their waists.

It was obviously strange that people who should have been wearing pistols were wearing swords, but if you could see magical energy shining in their eyes under their sunglasses, there was nothing strange about it.

Stronger than tanks are 17-year-old high school girls with special abilities, and these are the ‘agents’ that those high school girls evolved from.

rattle.

The blonde woman who got out of the car last leisurely headed into the warehouse.

Unlike the other agents, she wore only a light, transparent dress and opened the warehouse door left and right.

profit.

As the warehouse doors opened left and right, sunlight filtered into the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse where only the ventilation fan was running, a mixture of men and women with black hair, all wearing shirts with various patterns, were playing mahjong in groups of four.

“Hello, traitor?”

The blonde woman approached the black-haired woman who was waiting in the middle of them, alone with a mahjong board spread out.

“Leave behind.”

“Oh, can I kill you?”

It was a contact between the Chinese and the Russians by anyone’s eyes, but the people who actually led the conversation started talking in Korean.

“Before we kill each other, why don’t we kill public enemies first and then kill each other?”

“Did you watch too many noir movies? How did you like watching movies to rub against Snow White?”

“Wouldn’t it be fun to just live a boring life? Since you also have the name ‘Cheonma’, why don’t you throw away that suit and fly your black long sleeves like in a martial arts movie?”

“It’s noisy. You say you’re Rasputin, so why aren’t you dressed as a monk?”

“Yes.”

The blond woman, Rasputin, lightly lifted the thigh part of the dress with both hands.

The Heavenly Horse immediately frowned at that action, but Rasputin giggled and sat across from the Heavenly Horse.

“So why did you call us this time?”

“Why do you ask so much when you know?”

“Because I want to hear it from your own mouth. Hurry up and do a briefing.”

“I’m not your Takari. Hey, I was an official S-class in Korea, but you’re a person who was judged as an S-class in Russia.”

“What are you arguing that you and I are traitors anyway?”

It seemed like an imminent situation, and the subordinates were sharpening their blades at each other, but the people who were actually talking were calm.

“I’ll get to the main point. A gold mine was discovered under this lake in North Pyongan Province. It’s a very high-purity gold mine.”

“Gold mine? Anyway, isn’t there anything special about being buried in North Korea?”

“It’s just because it’s not gold.”

The Heavenly Demon flicked her fingers sideways, and soon the subordinate held the black steel case and placed it on the mahjong board.

“Look at this. How is it?”

“…Ohh. This is kind of interesting.”

“Are you willing to join forces with us at this level?”

“huh.”

Rasputin licked his lips and reached for the gold.

“If it weren’t for our intention to cooperate in the first place, we wouldn’t have come down here.”

“It’s a good choice. Then, one thing to do with your kids and my kids.”

Kwa-ang!

The Heavenly Demon lifted her leg high, and immediately smashed the mahjong board with her leg.

“Secretly sneaking in and figuring out the true nature of the gold mine.”

squeak.

Under the mahjong board split left and right, a hole large enough for one person to fit appeared.

“And taking gold from those gold mines.”

“What to share?”

“No regrets for each other, unconditionally 5:5.”

“great.”

Rasputin looked down the fairly deep hole and smacked his lips.

“If this isn’t the portion to lose, if it’s taking away Korean things, I can’t do anything. Especially…”

sigh.

“If it’s gold that can infuse mana.”

* * *

“After Cataclysm, the world has changed.”

“After Sejong Island was created, the resources around it gradually changed over a long period of time.”

“Yes. We will protect the gold mines on North Korean soil.”

“Gold that is of a higher purity than anywhere else in the world, and the most efficient way to manage mana.”

“To put it a little fantasyly…”

“We must protect the ‘Magic Stone’.”
