297 – Chapter 12. gold rush (1)

After a while, a mountain hut near the mountain.

“Let me introduce you. The two of them are named Gold and Gray, so you should call them by their code names too. Just call me Taejo, and call the other two by their nicknames.”

Taejo, who took the two of us and two A-class agents into an uninhabited cabin, introduced us to them.

“The two of them…wouldn’t it be better to introduce them in person?”

“Yes! My name is [Giparang] Han Jeong-woo, the leader of Team A of the Counterterrorism Special Forces of the National Intelligence Service.”

“My name is Ryu Yi-jin, the team leader of Team B of the same company.”

The two A-class agents greeted us politely.

Apparently, as much as Taejo treats us with courtesy, they, who are subordinates, must also follow suit.

[Those people, like before, seem to be very interested in us.]

[They were sent by Gwangik Gong. Since you don’t know who we are, you must be wondering what S-class we are.]

Of course, even if that’s not the case, being an unknown S-class being is always exciting.

What ability do you use?

Is there an unknown S-class in this country?

Are they really Korean?

Even if you don’t look into your head, you can see what kind of imagination is unfolding.

[By the way, oppa also seems to be very curious about those people. Aren’t they people you know?]

[I knew there was such a team. They were unknown people.]

[Wow, so you’re learning new information this time?]

[yes.]

It was quite new to me to hear a name and a nickname that did not appear in the original work and was not confirmed even in the society.

‘I knew there was a team, but I didn’t know their appearance, name, or code name.’

As they are black agents of the National Intelligence Service, who are careful not to leak information as much as possible in the government, it was not easy to find information about them even in the association.

I knew there were people like this, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what kind of ability they had and what their names were.

‘I’ll have to tell the hostess later. Since he is an agent of the National Intelligence Service, it will be difficult to contact him, but he might come to use it in the future.’

But I never thought I would get this information from here.

It is worthwhile to come all the way to Sinuiju.

“Nice to meet you. We want to show our real selves too, but-“

“No, it’s okay! You two have a more important mission than us. There is no need to tell us.”

Giparang waved his hand and showed a violent rejection.

“Is it the NIS?”

“Ordinary people should know, but aren’t they the ones sent by Gwangik Gong? We can’t offend those who Gwangik sent.”

He says that, but deep down, his eyes dimly show that he might tell me in case.

Of course, you don’t have to tell me if you’re talking like that.

“There will be a time when you will find out. At that time, you just have to think, ‘Oh, that person is that person’.”

“I will keep quiet so that the information does not leak.”

“Then good.”

Anyway, sooner or later, you will see it unconditionally.

“Taejo. What should we do?”

“Please wait for the two of you here at the cabin. You can use the resources in the cabin to your heart’s content. And there is a detonator here to bury the underground mine.”

Taejo pointed towards the inside of the cabin, under the three-person sofa.

“It’s a little too much to show you now, but if you check with magic later, you’ll be able to find the detonator. If something goes wrong, please use the detonator to detonate the mine.”

“Even if there are people inside?”

“Yes. We will escape on our own.”

what is this

“An explosion wouldn’t be an ordinary explosion.”

“It’s not a magic explosion, so it’s okay.”

“What if the mountain collapses?”

“I’ll make a hole to rise into the sky and get out.”

I don’t know how big the mine will be, but the amount of explosives that go into destroying at least one mine must be enormous.

Even in the midst of that explosion, without questioning or arguing about life and death, to destroy the mine first.

‘Why is it so unfamiliar?’

It feels strange to see Taejo in black with his hair dyed black, not Taejo, the blonde Yangachi Jammin I usually see.

Even when they were talking about patriotism on the train, they were just different on the outside, but inside, they thought that the likable Jammin was Taejo.

“If an explosion occurs, the two of you, please go directly to the container and take the support agents and leave for Gaeseong. It may be inconvenient, but a freight train is waiting at Sinuiju Station to leave for Gaeseong at any time.”

“If the mission is successfully completed, will I be able to get on the special train to go down?”

“Yes. Of course.”

At Ymir’s question, Taejo smiled coolly and nodded.

It’s a freight train when something goes wrong, and if the mission is successful, you can go back as comfortably as you came.

“Then follow me. From now on, we will introduce the mines that we must protect.”

Taejo and the two A-ranks came out of the cabin.

“I’ll give you permission to access the lodge. Mr. Grey. Taegeuk Watch this way.”

“This is Hyun Cheol-soo’s Taegeuk watch, is it okay?”

“Yes. It’s fine. We can deal with it later.”

Taejo stretched out his hand, and I put the Taegeuk watch against him.

“Anyway, it definitely suits you. Gray-sama definitely looks more comfortable there than John.”

“The face is wearing a mask, but there’s no reason to hide your skills.”

“……! Indeed. I understand. The authority has been shared. Now, when you enter the lodge, hold the Taegeuk Watch in front of it and it will open. Oh, Gold-sama…”

“I’ll stick with you, so don’t worry.”

Even the smallest considerations, nothing is missing.

‘Is it a double personality?’

Maybe Jammin has a dual personality of Taejo and Black Taejo.

Normally, Jam-min goes outside the ceremony, but the moment he says something like a keyword, isn’t it the consciousness of Black Taejo, a heroic spirit to protect the country, put Jam-min to sleep and go out on the surface?

it could be.

This is not a joke, but many people with special abilities actually have split personalities.

“Follow me this way.”

While thinking about Taejo’s personality, Taejo took the lead and ran toward the mountain.

It was faster than normal people’s sprint, but they quickly climbed the foot of the mountain without anyone lagging behind.

“When you go down, you can go down this road. This iron gate here will also open if you put Gray-sama’s Taegeuk Watch on the sensor.”

An iron fence can be seen in a crack in the rock, a gap where one person can barely fit.

Taejo attached the Taegeuk Watch to the sensor attached to the barricade, and soon the barracks cracked and disappeared into a crack in the rock.

[brother. Did you make this with this ability?]

[It looks like a rock, but it’s all metal. It seems to be the work of Taejo.]

[When did he come up to Sinuiju to build a facility like this?]

[It must have been longer than I thought.]

After the collapse of North Korea, when refugees tried to come down through the DMZ, it is highly likely that people with special abilities, including Taejo, went up to the north separately and made such a device.

[Unlike Baridegi, an academy undergraduate, Taejo stayed in Busan without entering the academy.]

[In reality, they went all the way to Sinuiju, explored resources, and made facilities like this?]

[This ability is metal manipulation. Rather than bringing equipment and making it one by one, it is faster and faster to make such equipment by bringing any suitable metal on site.]

The road down to the mine was just a cave without a single light.

If it had not been for the long iron rail handles running left and right, the cave was so dark that I would have stumbled even if I had illuminated the front with the Taegeuk Watch’s flashlight.

“It’s a little far from Seoul, so it’s in this condition. At least there, in Gangwon-do, people come and go like a coal mine…”

Perhaps embarrassed by the unstable equipment, Taejo muttered as he continued walking forward.

“You must have worked hard. You must be busy developing this ability in the middle of the day.”

“…….”

I heard Taejo laugh for a moment.

Even without going into detail, this alone should give Taejo an idea of what I have said for him.

While others would have developed this ability, this man had to use that precious time for the sake of the country.

At the time when the academy was going to learn anything, whether it was public education or special ability training, Taejo would have to be summoned to any place where metal could be used and use this ability.

Utilizing this ability can be said to be training for this ability, but considering Taejo’s frequent use, it is highly likely that a simple repetition of this ability occurred.

His main skill is steel-

“stop.”

I hurriedly called Taejo, who was about to move forward, and tapped the Taegeuk watch.

“Looks like they’re in a hurry. There’s already someone inside. Are they the agents who were put in first?”

“…no.”

click.

“There shouldn’t be people.”

“Then, they must be secret guests.”

“Yes.”

As soon as the flashlight was turned off, Taejo lowered his voice even more.

“The two of you go to the mountain cabin…”

“It looks like there are two S-classes, so let’s go in together, right?”

“…….”

At Ymir’s suggestion, Taejo’s eyes wavered for a moment.

“Then, Giparang. Pisces. Both of them, get ready for battle as soon as you enter.”

clap.

The moment Taejo touched the back of his neck, something like black iron powder covered Taejo’s head.

‘Five.’

flash

In the dark, Taejo, wearing a helmet like a black tiger, jumped forward in an instant.

[brother. that….]

[yes.]

The black iron dust that flowed like ants from the neck.

[It’s a bit nasty for trying to hide your identity.]

[If you go inside like that…]

No matter how NIS – no, it’s because it’s the NIS of this world and a person with special abilities.

‘If you give up concept quality, that’s not a person with special abilities.’
