NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 257
American Dream (5)
“… … Therefore, this court sentences defendant Wei Han to death for 32 illegal acts, including violence, illegal possession of weapons, murder, and attempted murder.”
-Land! Land! Land!
The verdict was passed as quickly as roasting beans in a flash, taking only three days from indictment to trial.
As a result, Wei Han was unable to find a lawyer or have a chance to defend himself, and was sentenced to death after just nodding his head throughout the trial.
“Am I free now?”
“… … .”
“When will you let me go? I have a family back home. They worry a lot about me.”
“… … .”
The innocent young man walked alone to the execution ground without knowing that he would die.
Even as he headed to the execution ground, he thought he was being released.
“Wow!!”
“Evil terrorist!”
“Socialist!”
“Enemy of America!”
“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!”
And when he was thrown before an angry crowd.
When the countless people gathered in front of him all at once poured out hatred and pointed their fingers at him.
“This, this is not it. This is wrong.”
It was only then that he realized something was wrong.
“I have to go home. My family is waiting.”
“… … .”
He struggled, but all he got in return was the guards’ merciless violence.
-puck!
“Ugh!”
“Stay still!”
“Me, not me. I cleaned. I’m a cleaner.”
“I told you to stay still!”
He struggled with all his might until the moment the blanket was placed over his head, but no matter how much the loach inside the bucket squirmed, it could not escape the bucket.
His struggles only provoked ridicule from the people.
“Haha! Look at that guy.”
“Even that devil who killed other people indiscriminately seemed afraid of death?”
“Even God will not accept you!”
“Go to hell, monkey!”
“Go to monkey hell!”
“Trash goes in the trash can! Orientals go in the animal pens!”
The taunts and mockery of the vast crowd gathered around the scaffold terrified him.
He could not understand what the people were saying, but he felt the tremendous hostility they were exuding.
‘Why… why on earth?’
He felt very wronged.
He was a promising and capable person who had graduated from a university in China.
The reason he crossed the Pacific Ocean to come to this distant foreign land was to somehow earn money and support his family, not to die in vain.
“Someone! Someone help me! I’m being treated unfairly!”
He later expressed his grievances in Chinese, but his screams were drowned out by the jeers of the crowd.
“Wow!”
“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!”
“Taft’s revenge! Revenge!”
So a rope was put around his neck, and an old pastor came up, placed his hand on his head, and saw him off on his final journey.
“Almighty Lord Jesus Christ… … .”
The crowd stopped booing for a moment and quietly watched the pastor solemnly reciting the prayer.
The pastor, who had been talking like that for a while, suddenly spoke to Wei Han, who was trembling.
“How are you feeling right now?”
“?!”
Han was startled by the familiar Chinese language and looked around while asking the pastor.
“Who are you?”
“I bow my head in apology for the great harm I have unintentionally caused you.”
“Who are you?”
“Once the sentence is carried out and the platform falls, there will be an explosion in the street and chaos all around.”
“What is that… … .”
Han was flustered by the sudden words and looked for the pastor, but he couldn’t see because of the bandage on his head.
“And at the same time the stool falls, the rope around your neck will break, and I will catch you from below and run away.”
“What, what did you say?”
The pastor took his hand from his head and said his last words.
“You won’t die today, so don’t worry too much and rest easy. I will soon send you back to your hometown where your family is.”
“Teacher! Teacher! Wait a minute, teacher!”
Han desperately called out to Pastor, but all she heard in return was a solemn voice.
“amen.”
* * *
‘The follow-up is a bit of a hassle.’
Hoover, who was probably burnt black by the explosion by now, couldn’t catch me, so they put a poor Chinese youth up there to act as my stand-in.
The only thing he did wrong was working as a janitor and getting caught by the detectives.
“Any last words?”
“#$%#$%#$!!!”
“i get it.”
The executioner put his hand on the lever.
I also grabbed the cell phone in my pocket.
and.
-Kkirik.
-Beep.
As soon as the lever was pulled, I also pressed the button.
-Bam! Bam! Kwaaaaang!!!
Then, large and small explosions occurred here and there on Washington Street, shattering store windows and overturning cars.
“uh?”
“What, what is it?”
As the explosion occurred, people’s attention turned from the gallows to the site of the explosion.
Everyone was frozen in place, unable to do anything, their bodies frozen by the sudden explosion.
“explosion……?”
“What is happening all of a sudden?”
“What, what is it… … .”
As people’s attention was focused on it.
I also started taking action little by little.
“Pastor, where are you going… … .”
-puck!
He threw away his cumbersome church robe and knocked down two police officers standing nearby.
Everyone punched me in the face, so I collapsed like a napping child and fell into a deep sleep.
“Uh uh… … ?”
I knocked them both down in an instant, and the other police officers looked at me in confusion, but it was no different for them anyway.
They too soon followed their comrades into dreamland.
“after.”
After cleaning up the area, I crawled under the gallows and saw a person writhing on the floor.
“Please, save me.”
“I came to save you, so relax and follow me quietly.”
“Who, who… … ?”
“Just follow me for now.”
As I roughly dragged him out, who was shivering, several police officers stopped me.
“Pastor, if the rope is cut now, the prisoner’s life will not be lost.”
“I will execute the sentence again, so leave the prisoner alone… … .”
All I had to give them back was the 9mm Parabellum bullets that the Shanghai dolls had painstakingly created, one by one.
bang!
Gunshots rang out in a crowded place.
A police officer was shot and fell to the ground bleeding in front of people’s eyes.
And not just one person, but several people at the same time.
If the crowd gathered here had just stepped on me, I would have been trampled without being able to do anything… … . What kind of creature called a human would do that?
If it were that easy, soldiers would have fought to their deaths on the battlefield.
“Gyaaaah!”
“A man is dead! A police officer was shot!”
“Hey, it’s a gun! That guy has a gun!”
“It’s terrorism!”
The right explosions, the right guns, the right number of bleeding, downed cops all came together to create a panic in the crowds that had gathered in the streets.
In front of the thousands, tens of thousands of eyes looking at me, there was only one thing I had to do.
“Long live the Empire of Japan! Long live Shinto!”
He shouted like this and fired his gun randomly into the air.
-Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Run away!”
People were terrified and the scene quickly became chaotic.
Everyone was only concerned about their own survival, not caring if the person in front of them fell or the person behind them was swept away. People were run over and injured in droves.
And then I took advantage of the confusion and just kind of disappeared into the crowd.
When the police later came to their senses and started looking for me, it was already… … .
* * *
“Ta-da~ Here it is.”
“… … .”
The doctor looked at me with eyes that said he was tired of it.
“Why do you look like that?”
“I really wonder why you always cause such a big trouble and then hide in my house.”
“Haha, what does it mean to be good to your fellow countrymen? Isn’t that what they say in times like this?”
“… … This seems to go beyond the duty of a compatriot.”
“So you’re trying to get me kicked out?”
The doctor asked back at my words.
“If I chase after you, will you get chased away?”
“If you chase me out with a gun, I will chase you out.”
“I don’t have a gun.”
“Yes, I knew what I was talking about.”
“… … .”
The doctor’s face wrinkled again.
He had been frowning so much lately that shallow wrinkles had formed on his once smooth forehead.
“If you keep causing trouble like this, I will find myself in a situation where I will have a hard time helping you.”
“When did you help me?”
“I provided you with this shelter.”
“Haha, let me get straight to the point. I’m just using this place as a temporary shelter. It’s not like you, Doctor, provided me with shelter.”
“… … .”
The doctor turned his head.
And then say something indifferently.
“I don’t care what you do or don’t do, but make sure that the reputation of Koreans in America doesn’t fall to rock bottom.”
“Why are we talking about reputation here?”
“Isn’t that obvious? When Americans think of Asians, half are Chinese and the other half are Japanese. They don’t distinguish between Korean and Japanese… … No, to be more precise, most people can’t tell the difference between the two.”
“hmm.”
So what this doctor is saying is this.
In order for us to become independent, we need help from the United States, but if I just go around and meddle here and there and the image of Koreans gets worse, it will be difficult to get help.
“The independence of our country is meaningful only when we achieve it with our own hands, not by borrowing the hands of others.”
“Let’s win independence with our own hands? Do you think that’s possible?”
“It’s close to impossible.”
At my words, the doctor also gained momentum and his voice became louder and louder.
“Yes! That’s right! That’s why I want to get help from the United States and the international community… … .”
“That’s what it used to be like.”
“?”
“I’m here now.”
“???”
The doctor looked completely uncomprehending.
“If my chances of independence were close to zero before I came here, now that I’m here, they’re getting closer to 100.”
“… … ?”
“You look like you don’t understand at all.”
“Then how should I understand what you say? Please tell me the answer.”
I just laughed at what the doctor said.
He just smiled and didn’t answer.
Then the doctor asked me in a sharp voice, as if he was slightly angry.
“Why did you stop talking and laugh? Did I find you that funny?”
“I never said that.”
“Tsk.”
The doctor clicked his tongue slightly and continued speaking.
“I acknowledge your uncanny talent, but I don’t think your talent will last forever.”
“I guess so.”
“No matter how great you are as an individual, in the end you are alone and cannot defeat the huge group called the nation.”
“Maybe so.”
“There were many independence activists in Shanghai and Manchuria who, like you, had great ambitions in their hearts, but… … only a very small number of them achieved results.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The doctor expressed his thoughts calmly.
“So, in my view, you too will fall apart as a puppet of the great powers before you can achieve anything.”
“hmm.”
“So instead of causing a fuss by stirring things up here and there like a runaway calf, let’s quietly focus on strengthening our internal structure… … .”
I cut the doctor off and said to him:
“An individual cannot defeat a nation. That is true, but… … . This doctor seems to have overlooked one fact.”
“Overlooked? What did I overlook?”
“Occasionally, there are people in the world who go beyond the common sense of ordinary people. People who achieve what everyone else thinks is impossible… … That’s what we call a superhuman.”
The doctor snorted.
“Superhuman? So you’re a superhuman?”
“I fought against the Japanese Empire alone. If that’s not a superhuman, then what is?”
“Foolish people look for heroes and supermen when times are difficult.”
“I fight for those foolish people.”
“It may seem that way now, but in the end, you too will crumble before the power of the state… … .”
I declared, holding up five fingers in front of the doctor’s eyes.
“5 years.”
“5 years?”
“I’ll show you, Doctor, that America will be turned upside down in the next five years. Will you believe me?”
“… … .”
* * *
A few weeks later.
A hospital in Washington.
“Eww!!!”
A patient with a bandage wrapped around his face woke up from a long sleep.
He got up from his seat, enduring the burning pain, and headed straight for the mirror.
Then, he slowly unwrapped the bandage covered in blood and pus and checked his face.
“… … .”
Half of his face, still burning, was covered in burns.
His face now looked more like a monster than a man.
“… … .”
“Hmm.”
At that moment, the FBI agent who had been sitting at the entrance to the hospital room, dozing off like a sick bird, woke up.
“I dozed off for a moment… Your Majesty?”
When he saw the person standing in front of the mirror, he immediately got up from his seat and asked him.
“Your Majesty, are you awake?”
“… … .”
He turned his head and looked at the agent.
Hoover, whose left eye and the area around it were bright red, asked the agent.
“How long did I sleep?”
“About two weeks… … .”
“You rested for a long time.”
-Crack!
Hoover swung his fist at the mirror.
Then the mirror cracked and broke in an instant.
