NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 211
Drunkard (3)
A coastal warehouse in the port of Vladivostok, so cold that it feels chilly.
Beria opened his eyes here.
And that too, trapped in a drum.
‘It’s cement.’
It was quite a disconcerting situation, but Beria calmly assessed his situation.
‘The cement has hardened… … It will be difficult to escape by one’s own strength.’
Beria tried to move his body without the opponent in front of him noticing, but the cement had already hardened so he couldn’t move his body at all.
‘Wrong. I can’t move my body like this.’
Judging by the faint salty smell of the sea, the sound of crashing waves, and the occasional sound of a ship’s horn, this seemed to be the port of Vladivostok.
‘Judging by the size of the warehouse, it seems like a port of some size… … .’
Vladivostok had numerous ports.
But since it was quite rare for such large warehouses to be built in a port, candidates were eliminated one by one from Beria’s mind.
‘It’s either a military port or a trading port.’
Since we can’t drag an unconscious person into a military port, this is probably a trading port.
Beria judged so.
“Why are you laughing like that?”
The ghost looked at the smiling Beria and asked in this situation.
Then Beria became very proud and answered in a confident voice.
“I figured out where this is.”
“Really? Where is this place?”
“Isn’t that a warehouse in a trading port?”
“No?”
“No?”
“It’s a military port.”
“What, what… … !”
But Beria’s predictions were spectacularly wrong.
“Uh, how… … ?!”
“They close their eyes when you give them some money.”
“what……!”
“He said that if you’re going to kill him, you should do it so that he never comes up again.”
“… … .”
Beria kept his mouth shut.
It is shocking that my opinion was wrong, but what is more shocking is that the soldiers’ hearts turned away from themselves.
“How long must you have been running around like that for even the soldiers to hate you?”
“… … .”
“How many people do you think are around here right now? And how many of them do you think will come running when they hear your screams?”
Beria was in a desperate mood.
I thought that if things continued like this, I might really die… No, I thought that I would definitely die.
“… … Just once.”
“what?”
“Please let me live just once.”
Beria immediately bowed his head.
Then the ghost snorted.
“Why me?”
At that moment, Beria felt a great shock as if his world was collapsing.
His opponent had no intention of letting him live.
But Beria did not give up.
“I, I have a reason to live!”
“Do I really have to hear that? Mr. Kim, can you give me an axe?”
“Are you finished already?”
“No. Let me show you something fun.”
“Is it fun?”
“Have you ever seen a person live and move around just fine even if their head is split open? Once you see it, you’ll never forget it.”
“… … I also decline that.”
Beria saw the two men speaking Russian and realized that they were trying to threaten him.
On the one hand, I thought that if the crazy guy in front of me was doing it, he might really do it.
‘What’s real? Are you really trying to kill me?’
Beria trembled all over.
He turns twenty-five this year.
He was a self-made man who rode the wave of the times, the Russian Revolution and the Civil War, and rose to the position of branch manager at a young age.
He was a person who usually had a cool-headed demeanor that made it seem like even if he were stabbed, not a single drop of blood would come out, and he maintained his cool in any situation.
But even he, whose life was in danger, trembled with fear and sweat poured down his body.
“S-save me! I, I… … I don’t want to die like this! I’m not the type of person who should die like this!!”
“Really? Why does hearing that make me want to kill you even more?”
“Hee, eek!”
Instead of ending his words, the ghost took a dagger out of his pocket.
It was something that was very familiar to Beria too.
“That, that’s… … . The one that was stuck to my bed every night… … !”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“… … .”
At that moment, Beria was overcome with anger.
What had been my suspicions turned into certainty.
Beria shuddered at the thought that he had suffered so much because of this man before him.
but.
“Is there anything you would like to say as a final remark?”
When he put a knife to his neck, his thoughts changed.
“Please, please save me… … . I’ll do anything if you just save me!”
“Anything?”
When the Ghost showed interest in his words that he would do anything, Beria quickly began to tell everything he knew.
“That, that’s right! All, you… … . No, if you want, sir, I’ll hand over all the information I know! No, you can just use me as an informant planted in the Federation!”
“hmm.”
There, the ghost was shown to be in agony, and Beria became even more excited and started to squirm as much as he could.
“What do you want? If it’s guns and ammunition, I can get them for you! If necessary, I’m even willing to use our public funds! And, and… … . And… … . Oh! Do you need inside information on the Japanese military? Then I’ll give it to you! If you need information on Europe… … .”
Beria opened all the cards he could to the Ghost.
As he gave more and more, the corners of the ghost’s mouth went up, while Beria’s remaining hair fell out in clumps.
After talking for a while, Beria realized that he had nothing more to say and stopped talking.
Then he quietly asked the ghost.
“Hey, is this okay?”
“hmm.”
The ghost put the dagger away with a satisfied smile.
And then in fluent Korean.
“If there’s a hammer there, please bring it to me.”
“Oh, huh?”
“I mean the big hammer.”
“Oh, I see.”
The Ghost stood in front of Beria, holding a large hammer with both hands, carried by what appeared to be a subordinate.
Then, a huge shadow created by the strong incandescent light from the ceiling covered Beria.
When Beria looked up, all he saw was something pitch black and red eyes shining around his face.
“Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Any last words?”
“!!!”
This moment.
Beria ended up making a mistake in his trousers.
“Please, spare me… … .”
“Okay, I got it.”
“Khaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
The ghost swung a large hammer wildly.
-Boom. Boom!
The sledgehammer, swinging hard, struck the side of the drum, causing the drum to tip over, shattering the cement and throwing Beria out.
“Clap clap clap… … .”
Beria grimaced at the dull pain surging from his side.
“I adjusted my strength! Inma.”
Although the force was controlled and the damage was reduced by the drum and cement, that did not mean that the impact was not transmitted to Beria.
“Ugh… … .”
“Beria, wake up.”
“Ugh… … .”
“rising.”
-thud.
The ghost put the hammer on the floor.
Then Beria jumped up with a loud shout.
“Don’t forget the deal we made today.”
“… … .”
“I’ll contact you again soon.”
“… … .”
“What are you doing? Get out, I’m done.”
“… … .”
Beria turned around, trying to act as if nothing had happened, even though he was terrified.
“Stop for a moment.”
“?”
“Come here.”
Suddenly the ghost called out to Beria.
“Come here.”
“Why, why are you doing that… … .”
-match!
The ghost quickly slapped Beria on the cheek.
The force was so strong that Beria collapsed and fell to the ground.
“The little bastard just left without saying goodbye?”
“?!?!”
“Go now.”
Beria looked at the ghost as if he was being wronged, holding his swollen cheek.
“That’s right, you should have observed your opponent carefully before attacking him.”
But all he could do was hold his swollen cheeks and blink back tears.
-Click.
“Is that the correct greeting?”
“Then how… … .”
“What do you think I should do?”
-Nod.
Oh, including polite greetings.

As Beria left the warehouse, grumbling, Kim Sang-ok asked me a question.
“Even though he looks like that, he is someone who could be considered a branch manager of the Soviet Politburo. Can you treat him like this?”
“What can that guy do?”
“… … Of course, I won’t be able to touch even a single hair on you, teacher, but it could be a great disaster for other compatriots in the Primorsky Krai.”
It meant that you weren’t afraid of being criticized.
It seems that Kim Sang-ok was worried that other Koreans in the Maritime Province would be harmed.
It’s not that I didn’t keep that in mind either.
“So I also prepared a countermeasure.”
“What is the countermeasure?”
“Hey! There you are!”
When I looked back, Kim Sang-ok and the other members of Uiyoldan all looked back.
Then, a familiar, welcoming face walked out of the dark shadows inside the shipping warehouse.
“I didn’t know the branch manager would cry and complain like that.”
“There aren’t many people who can hold on to their convictions even when it’s time to die.”
“Really? But if you’re the branch manager, I thought you’d at least say something like, “Just kill him!”
“Isn’t that the words of a person with two faces? Miss Iba.”
It was Iva, a field agent of the Soviet Politburo.
“Because it’s Ivana.”
“Yeah, Iva.”
“… … .”
“I think it’s a nickname. I heard Russians call each other by nicknames.”
“That’s something you use only with family, lovers, or close friends.”
“Which of the three do you want to do with me? Pick one.”
Eva looked at me with slight confusion.
“I, I don’t want to do anything?”
“Really? It would be a shame to kick away the opportunity to become Gyeongseong’s ghost best friend.”
At my words, Iva’s cheeks turned red and she hurriedly tried to cover up her slip of the tongue.
“Oh, wait a minute. That’s… … .”
“I’m kidding.”
I smiled at her and handed her the wiretapping device.
Before I fell here.
It was something I used during the mission.
And in it were contained all that Beria had said a moment ago, struggling to live.
“We’re already best friends, right?”
“friend…….”
Instead of listening to the wiretap, Eva stared blankly at me, and the corners of her mouth slightly went up.
“When we first met, we were both anxious because we couldn’t kill each other.”
“You were anxious because you couldn’t kill each other? If I remember correctly, wasn’t it when our Iba Yang was captured by thieves and was on the verge of death?”
“You don’t know. I had already made an escape plan back then.”
“Really? Somehow, every time I met you, your eyes sparkled so much that I thought you had developed feelings for me because I saved you~”
“… … .”
Ivana’s mouth closed.
And it didn’t open.
“Just kidding, just kidding~ Can’t we even joke around between us?”
I winked one eye as I placed the wiretapping device in Eva’s hand.
“Then, talk to the branch manager. I know you had a good conversation with him, so I will cooperate with you.”
“… … .”
“How about we help each other? I’m happy because I can get what I deserve by cooperating with you, and our Iba-yang will be even happier because she’ll be able to achieve great things and get promoted again.”
Isn’t this a story about a sister and a brother-in-law who are good for each other?
“… … That’s right.”
Iva tightly held my hand, which was holding the wiretap.
Then he smiled without saying anything.
