NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 248

Seizure (1)

Relaxation.

He was a promising figure who once served as Prime Minister of the Korean Empire and was one of the Emperor’s favorites.

He was a bright man and had some ability as a bureaucrat.

But instead of fully utilizing his abilities to develop the country.

He sold out his country and its twenty million compatriots for personal gain.

Selling out a country is impossible without ability, so he used his great ability to stab his fellow countrymen in the back of the head.

Yi Wan-yong, who sold out his country in this way, lived a long and happy life and died peacefully on his bed. He became a figure who has been talked about by people for a long time and has incited the anger of the Korean people.

No, it had to be.

Things are a little different now.

“Uh… … Uh… … Uh… … .”

“Your Majesty, are you coming to your senses?”

“Uh… … Uh… … .”

As Lee Wan-yong, who had been exposed to the magic potion given by heaven, gradually became free from pain, his body also gradually slipped out of his control.

“Your Majesty, then I will go to the bank and take over the funds as per the contract. Do you agree?”

“Turn it off… … .”

Lee Wan-yong stood there blankly with unfocused eyes.

He had no answer.

No, it was to the point where I couldn’t tell if he was conscious or not.

The only good thing was that his pupils moved, but it was unclear whether he was really moving of his own free will or if they were just rolling.

“I will take it that you understand.”

“… … .”

Most of the time he would sit around blankly or just stand there with his body slumped over, waving his arms and legs around at will.

Now he will spend the rest of his life in a state of neither living nor dead, drugged and intoxicated.

Without the medicine, his body would become unable to feel anything, and as time goes by, this would become worse, and eventually, even with the medicine, he would become unable to feel anything.

“Wow… … It doesn’t seem like it takes that long for one person to break down.”

“A week is a long time.”

“Huh? A week is a long time?”

“Yeah, if you make up your mind, it’s not a big deal to be stingy and finish it in three days.”

Sasaki and I left his mansion, leaving behind Lee Wan-yong, who was writhing around in the yard like a zombie.

“But the contractor ended up like that, so how do you plan on receiving the money?”

“There is a contract.”

“Haha, but if the children claim that the contract is invalid, then it’s all over again, right?”

“Huh, have you learned the word ‘dorumuk’ now?”

“Hehe, I have to study hard. Then, when you become a great teacher in the future… … . I will also benefit from it… … . right?”

Sasaki looked at me and smirked.

“The ancestral rites haven’t even started yet, and you’re already eyeing the ancestral rite food?”

“Hehehe… … .”

“Then you’ll get punished, you idiot.”

“Hehehe, wouldn’t it be better for me to be on the side of punishing rather than being punished?”

“What? Huh!”

I was speechless at Sasaki’s absurd words.

“Okay, sir! Go this way. This is the fastest way to get to the Governor-General’s Office.”

Sasaki took the lead and led the way.

“You don’t have any other henchmen? You and Lee Wan-yong over there are no different.”

“Huh, what do you mean?”

“Both you and that guy sold out the country for your own benefit.”

Sasaki answered my words with a calm smile.

“Haha, when did you say I sold my country? And even if I did sell my country… … Unlike the weak Joseon, the Empire of Japan would not be noticed even if someone were to sell it.”

“What? Era.”

-Bam.

“Ugh!”

My hand was stuck in the back of Sasaki’s head.

“I hate people who sell out their country the most in the world.”

“Ah… … . I have never sold out my country.”

“Huh? Then what are you doing now?”

“Patriotism is the patriotism that sets the country straight!”

“?”

Sasaki, like many independence activists in Shanghai, insisted to me with a passionate voice and exaggerated gestures.

“Before I met you, sir, my life was like a pitch-black, gloomy dream! I felt that there was something wrong with society, but I didn’t know exactly where and how it was wrong!”

“Oh my.”

“But you opened my eyes, teacher!”

Sasaki waved his hands wildly like some patriotic leader who was fighting for the country, expressing his intentions.

“I will not turn a blind eye to the various crises currently facing the Empire of Japan, and will do my utmost to save this country!”

“… … A little while ago, you said that since the Empire of Japan is a large country, it wouldn’t be a problem if they took a little bit of it?”

“Shouldn’t I be fulfilling my duty while also pursuing my own personal glory? It’s not like I’m volunteering or anything… … Hehe.”

“… … .”

-Bam!

“Ouch! Why are you hitting me again?”

“… … I don’t know, Inma.”

Sasaki frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

“Hey… … If you keep hitting your head like this, you’ll end up stupid.”

“There’s no need to think about it anyway.”

Sasaki’s face brightened as if he had realized something new at my words.

“Ah! That’s true. Anyway, you do the thinking, and I just follow. Hahaha!”

“… … .”

Who would look at this man and think he was the high-ranking detective who had terrorized the Shanghai Provisional Government until last year?

“Why do you look like that?”

-Bam!

“Eww!”

I hit Sasaki on the back of the head again for no reason.

There was no reason.

I just hit him once.

“Why do you keep hitting me?”

“… … Go to Daegal Daegam on this road and tell him that there won’t be any big expenses for the time being, so he should stock up on bullets for investment.”

“Bullets? Where do you want me to buy some bullets?”

-Bam!

“Ouch! Oh my… … again!”

“Is that bullet that bullet? It means to save money.”

“Hey… … . Isn’t that because you keep hitting my head that my brain isn’t working properly?”

“Why? Should I hit you more?”

“Hey… … No. I’m going!”

Sasaki quickly ran away.

I also let out a light sigh as I watched Sasaki running away into the distance.

Then he turned around and looked at the tightly closed front door of Lee Wan-yong’s mansion.

‘As long as I have the contract in my hand, I can take as much money as I want from that house.’

The problem was that Lee Wan-yong had too much wealth.

Well, it wasn’t a bad idea to split the fortune into several installments, but that could have drawn the backlash of those shameless people.

‘So, if we’re going to do it, it’s better to just barge in and take everything out without giving them a chance to respond.’

I remember seeing the old days when the National Tax Service would stick red tags on the houses of delinquent taxpayers, and it seemed good to rush in and collect everything at once like that.

However, the problem was that it required quite a lot of people to actually do that.

‘Should I ask Madam for help? Mobilizing the transportation bureau personnel… … is useless.’

I thought about using the Provisional Government Transportation Bureau personnel, but the place had already been destroyed by a large-scale crackdown by the Japanese police, and was only now beginning to be rebuilt.

But if they were to commit to such a high-profile undertaking, there was a chance that their identities would be exposed.

‘Then should I seek the help of the Great King this time too?’

This is also a problem, because the Great King never moves for free.

Of course, if I threatened to cut off its neck, it would move by force, but if I just whipped it like that, the donkey would not work properly and would just sit down.

‘Then there’s only one thing left.’

As it happens, there was a spare plan prepared for this very moment.

* * *

“It’s been a while, Mr. Wolnam.”

“……who?”

Mr. Wolnam Lee Sang-jae, who was sweeping the yard, tilted his head at the sight of a visitor who had suddenly arrived.

“I use so many names that it’s confusing even for me, but right now I use the name Kuroda Kyuichi.”

“Kuroda Kyuichi… … . Ah! So that’s the guy who used to clean up after the Japanese.”

“Well, that’s what started the rumor.”

“Yeah, why would the trash can in the back room stick its head out of the shit bin? If you’re going to make this short, I’m going to smear shit all over the place.”

Lee Sang-jae openly and harshly treated Kuroda as if telling him to get out quickly.

But despite this cold reaction, Kuroda smiled and crossed the front door of Lee Sang-jae’s house.

“Huh? I haven’t told you yet that you can come into my house?”

“That’s what happened to Kyuichi Kuroda.”

“huh?”

“But what about the ghost of Gyeongseong?”

“Ghost of Gyeongseong?”

He tilted his head again at the mention of the ghost of Gyeongseong and asked Kuroda.

“That’s strange. A little while ago, you revealed yourself. You said you were Kuroda Kyuichi, right?”

“Yes.”

“But when you come into the house, you’re saying it’s the ghost of Gyeongseong? Hmm… … . It’s a story that’s hard to believe.”

Lee Sang-jae looked at Kuroda with a suspicious gaze.

If anything, he seemed ready to shoo him away, even if it meant swinging a broom.

But even in this situation, Kuroda maintained a relaxed attitude and said,

“Didn’t a friend named Bongchang come with an envelope of money last time and say that the ghost of Gyeongseong sent a message to you?”

“?! How did you… … .”

Kuroda slowly took off his hat and peeled something off his face, and he looked like a completely different person.

His appearance was a face that Lee Sang-jae had seen once before.

“See you again, Mr. Wolnam.”

“Ah, you… … .”

“The elders of Shanghai and my comrades in Gando call me Mr. Lee of Gyeongseong.”

Lee Sang-jae, who witnessed the magical event of a person’s face changing in an instant, rubbed his eyes several times to check Kuroda’s face.

But no matter how many times I rubbed my eyes, his face had changed.

“Huh! Huh, really… … . This is something that would make a ghost cry.”

“I don’t know about ghosts, but I can make Japanese people sing.”

The corners of Mr. Lee Sang-jae’s mouth went up at the teacher’s witty and lively answer.

“What? Haha! That makes sense.”

Mr. Vietnam roughly threw down the broom, grabbed his arm, and led him home.

“A noble person has come from far away, so I can’t just sit still like this. My dear! My dear daughter-in-law!”

At his call, his daughter-in-law, who was in the kitchen, came running out.

“Yes, Father!”

“Excuse me, but please bring a simple table of drinks to the guest room. Since we have an important guest from far away, you should use a lot of good food.”

“Father… … . There’s nothing to eat at home right now… … .”

“What? Then why don’t you just go to the market and buy some?”

“that is…….”

The daughter-in-law hesitated while watching me, so it seemed like the family was running low on money.

Seeing that, Mr. Lee remembered the last time he had been anxious because the rice bin at Mr. Wolnam’s house had run out of rice. He took out his wallet from his inside pocket and handed a handful of bills to his daughter-in-law.

“Please set the table with this.”

“What?! Hey, why is the customer paying? This is something the owner prepares.”

The Vietnamese teacher tried to return the money, but the teacher laughed and refused.

“Now that I have passed through Mr. Wolnam’s gate, am I no longer a guest but a family member?”

“what?”

“And since we are comrades who are trying to achieve the same goal, we just help each other when times are tough.”

“No, but still… … .”

“I also came here to ask for help from Mr. Wolnam. So please don’t misunderstand.”

“Heh heh… … . Help… … . I don’t know what kind of help I’m asking this old man for.”

The teacher smiled and put his empty wallet back in his pocket as he said:

“Lee Wan-yong, I’m thinking of raiding that nobleman’s house, so I need your help and that of Shin Gan-hoe.”

“?”
