NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 246

Salvation (3)

“Catch that guy!”

“Catch the ghost of Gyeongseong!”

-Tang tang! Bang!

A man ran down a dark street as bullets rained down from all directions.

The man ran down a pitch-black alleyway where not even the streetlights could reach and where not a single cheap light was on, making it impossible to see even an inch ahead.

-Kudangtangtang!

-bang!

-Whoosh.

Those who followed him often tripped over trash cans and other debris strewn across the alleyway and fell down, and even those who managed to follow him without any problems often got lost in the dark alleyways.

“shit!”

“I missed it again!”

“Phew… … . I’m glad I missed it.”

The police and soldiers who had been chasing the man stopped their pursuit when they realized that pursuing him further would be fruitless.

Regardless, the man wandered around the alleys, only after he was sure that those chasing him had completely disappeared, and then he took a breather in a quiet, empty lot.

“Whoa… … . I guess I’ll go back.”

Large beads of sweat flowed down the man’s forehead like rain.

And his nose and mouth sucked in and exhaled the surrounding air like a hippopotamus.

“Phew… … .”

-Thump thump.

At that moment, heavy footsteps were heard behind the man catching his breath, and the man pulled out his pistol.

But the opponent was a little faster.

-Boom, bang!

As soon as the man pulled out his pistol, Kuroda appeared from the alley and twisted his arm, then hit him with his shoulder and gently pinned him to the ground.

“Ouch!”

“If an enemy appears from behind, I told you not to draw your pistol, but to hide the gun with your coat, gauge the enemy’s position, and then shoot.”

“Oh my… … . Is that easy?”

“It’s not easy, so it’s hard for the opponent to predict.”

Kuroda reached out to the ghost of Gyeongseong who had fallen to the floor… no, to Inspector Sasaki.

“Oh my… … . It’s so embarrassing… … . Why does it always feel like I’m the one dying because of this teacher?”

“A joke… … . Do you really want to die? Then feel free to tell me, and I will send you away in one blow, painlessly, cleanly, and coolly, considering the feelings we have for each other.”

“Oh my… … . Just kidding. Just kidding.”

Inspector Sasaki shook off his body, got up from his seat, and stretched.

“Ugh… … Ah! What makes that old man so strong? I almost got caught there.”

“He must have used his last strength before he died. But he must have been so scared of Inspector Sasaki that he wet his pants.”

“Kuuuuu. What could I be afraid of? It’s just that I’m afraid of the name, the Ghost of Gyeongseong.”

“What does the name mean?”

“Oh my!”

Kuroda.

No, I picked up Sasaki’s gun that had fallen on the floor and handed it to him.

“If I change into something here and go straight to the police station, no one will know.”

“Yes? Shouldn’t I have been caught by the teacher here once?”

“What are you talking about?”

“No, didn’t you say that you were going to catch the ghost of Gyeongseong?”

“It didn’t seem necessary to do that.”

I originally planned to capture Sasaki around this point, trick him into thinking he was the Ghost of Gyeongseong, and hand him over to Lee Wan-yong.

So that’s why you brought Sasaki, who wouldn’t be strange if he died at any time.

If Lee Wan-yong had killed Sasaki, he could have used this as an excuse to gently shake up Lee Wan-yong, who was not in his right mind.

Of course, Sasaki didn’t know about my plans.

Because there was no need to tell you.

Sasaki had absolute faith that I would come to his rescue at the right time, and even now, that faith seemed unwavering.

“Are the plans changing again?”

“Yeah, it seems like it’s enough without having to go that far.”

“Is that so? What a pity.”

“It’s not a pity… … . No.”

Sasaki grinned, not even realizing that he had just nearly died.

“How about just going ahead with the plan? Wouldn’t that give Mr. Lee more room to move?”

“Um… … I don’t think that’s necessary.”

“Oh my… … What do you mean? In times like these, it’s better to proceed according to the original plan.”

“No. I think it’s better to just end it like this.”

“Is that so? That’s too bad.”

Inspector Sasaki pushed ahead with his plan without even knowing that he was going to die, and I ended up in a situation where I had to tear down Inspector Sasaki.

“Plans are subject to change. Let’s do that.”

“That’s too bad.”

“It’s a shame… … . I saved your life today.”

“Huh? Hahaha! You’re joking again.”

“I’m not joking.”

“?”

* * *

The next day.

As soon as the sun rose in the morning, I headed to Yi Wan-yong’s house, and he ran out barefoot to greet me.

“Oh, welcome to Kuroda!”

“Unfortunately, he missed, Your Majesty.”

“It’s okay! It’s okay!”

Lee Wan-yong looked around, trembling all over, as if he was so afraid of something.

“Hey, let’s go inside… … It’s too high up here, it seems dangerous.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

It seemed that Lee Wan-yong’s anxiety had gotten worse due to the attack last night.

“That, that’s right… … . You want to create a special investigation team to catch the ghosts of Gyeongseong… … ?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But, you were a reporter, weren’t you? When you were in Japan, did you work for the Metropolitan Police Department?”

“No. In Japan, I wasn’t a police officer… I worked as a detective.”

“eye?”

Lee Wan-yong showed interest in the idea of ​​being a detective.

“Yes, it’s a job where you take on other people’s requests and do investigations on their behalf. Have you ever read a detective novel?”

“A mystery novel…? I’ve never heard of such a thing before.”

“Hmm. Just think of it as a job where you take on other people’s requests and handle various tasks.”

“Ah, the problem solver… … I see.”

Lee Wan-yong nodded as if he finally understood the word problem solver.

“Then, is it because of someone’s request that you came back here?”

“… … .”

It seemed like Lee Wan-yong was making a big mistake.

But to me, it was not a bad illusion.

“Yes, for now, that’s it.”

“Hmm… … . It seems like you’ve made quite a name for yourself in Japan… … .”

“Well, it’s become common knowledge that everyone who needs to know already knows.”

“Really? Then who is your client?”

“Haha, that’s personal information, so I don’t think I can tell you.”

“I see.”

Suspicion flowed from Lee Wan-yong’s gaze.

A sharpness that does not miss any suspicious circumstances despite being pickled in opium and drugs.

Could this sharpness be the driving force that made the shabby old man in front of me grab his lifeline?

“But I think I can tell you this.”

“What is that?”

“It seems that the dragons’ gathering is trying to create an organization like Iljinhoe again.”

“A dragon… … . A dragon… … !”

When I told Lee Wan-yong that the Black Dragon Society was behind it, only then did his suspicions lessen a bit.

“I thought that the Black Dragon Society was completely destroyed when their connection with it was revealed during the previous administration… … . It seems that they still have some strength left.”

“They say that even if a rich man goes bankrupt, his fortune lasts for three generations.”

“That’s right… … . There was something like that.”

Lee Wan-yong’s hands began to tremble.

It seemed that the medicine was starting to lose its effectiveness.

“Hmm… … Then, what was your intention in coming to see me like this?”

“yes.”

When I said that there was an intention, Lee Wan-yong nodded and completely threw away his doubts.

“Um. Okay, what do you want from me?”

“As I mentioned yesterday, I plan to soon obtain permission from the Governor-General to create a new vigilante group, so please provide me with some funds.”

“Vigilantes? Didn’t you say special investigation team yesterday?”

“Yes, that was originally what we were going to do, but… … The Governor-General’s Office said it would be a bit difficult to assign police work to civilians.”

“I see… … So it’s a more liberal vigilante group.”

Lee Wan-yong closed both his eyes.

It seemed like he was calculating in his head.

* * *

Lee Wan-yong thought.

‘Kuroda Kyuichi… … He was born in Naju, but he changed his name in order to become successful and he seems to be a loyal person to Japan… … .’

The person named Kuroda, whom Lee Wan-yong had met before, was quite an active and energetic person.

But that person seemed like a serious and heavy mountain, wondering what had happened in Japan across the sea in the past few months.

‘What happened in Japan?’

It seems like he’s changed a little bit as a person after experiencing something in Japan.

‘Come to think of it, I heard there was chaos in Japan.’

I’ve heard that the country is in shambles due to the earthquake and various political incidents in mainland Japan.

Perhaps because of this, there have been problems with the pensions distributed by the Government-General to the Joseon aristocracy recently.

‘There’s the Black Dragon Society… … .’

As far as he knew, the Black Dragon Society had been exposed and had suffered the wrath of the Japanese government and the Emperor, so the organization itself was destroyed.

There were even rumors going around that the recently enacted National Security Preservation Act was actually created to crack down on the remnants of the Black Dragon Society.

‘Have you caught the Black Dragon Society’s strings? … If so, wouldn’t it be better to hand this guy over to the Japanese government rather than supporting him?’

The abacus was spinning wildly in Lee Wan-yong’s head.

He was contemplating whether to sell out Kuroda, who was right in front of him, or to take his hand and attack the ghost of Gyeongseong.

‘Will this guy catch the ghost of Gyeongseong?’

But that worry didn’t last long.

This was because as soon as the medicine took effect, excruciating pain struck.

“Euuu… … Euuuu… … Euaaaahhhh!!!!”

“Your Majesty? Your Majesty! Are you alright?”

“Euuuu… … Quickly… … Butler… … Fire… … .”

“Please wait a moment.”

Kuroda took a small sticker out of his pocket and immediately stuck it on Yiwanyong’s neck.

“Ugh… … Hurry… … I’ll buy a house… … huh?”

“Are you feeling better now?”

moment.

Lee Wan-yong felt the pain that was eating away at his body completely disappear.

It felt cool and refreshing, as if my body had been thoroughly washed from the sweat of midsummer.

“This… … . How?”

No matter how strong the medicine or opium was, the pain never completely went away, but with this, it completely disappeared as if the pain had never happened.

“How did this happen?”

Kuroda shrugged and answered.

“This is a new drug brought from Japan.”

“… … New Testament?”

“It’s a Black Dragon Society item.”

“Black Dragon Society.”

Lee Wan-yong’s gaze turned to the object in Kuroda’s hand.

“Is that something from the Black Dragon Society?”

“Yes, it’s a very powerful pain reliever. I heard it’s a new one.”

“okay…….”

Lee Wan-yong’s eyes were filled with greed.

At the same time, the corners of Kuroda’s mouth went up.

“Where can I get that?”

“Well, I had a hard time getting it… … Also, the Black Dragon Society’s circumstances aren’t what they used to be, so I don’t know if I can make more.”

“I see… … . Does that mean that the object you are holding in your hand right now is the last one?”

“That’s it for now.”

“… … .”

Lee Wan-yong’s two eyes shook.

If I had never known that such a drug existed, I would have never known.

Once I found out that such a drug existed in the world, there was no turning back.

Even the most cool-headed Lee Wan-yong could not bear the thought of having to go through that horrible hellish pain again.

“… … How much do you need?”

Kuroda answered Lee Wan-yong’s question with a smile.

“How much can you give me?”
