NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 268

Black Thursday (1)

A person died.

If this had been an incident that happened in a rural area, the local police would have investigated and resolved it properly, or the parties involved would have resolved it on their own, and later an article would have appeared in the local newspaper.

In the city, things were a little different.

In an age where death is closer than life, it is very rare for someone’s death to be reported in the newspaper.

After someone’s life, which could be said to be long or short, ends.

Only those who were buried in a mass grave, not in a cold field or a cheap crematorium, could have their names listed in the newspaper obituary column.

Those who were not included in the obituary were mostly forgotten by people.

Those who were forgotten ended up ending their lives in some nameless wasteland or in a crematorium where, for a few pennies, they would sneak a person into a pile of trash and burn them.

Such things were commonplace in the city, so when someone died it wasn’t a big deal enough to make the newspapers.

Rather, if a story about the death of one or two great people appeared in the newspaper, it was usually a major event that shook the world.

City people have adapted to this cold city.

No, I was forced to adapt.

And I just lived.

Everyone lived that way, looking forward to a stable today rather than a hopeful tomorrow.

[Initial G, Sentence the Federal Bureau of Investigation to Death!]

[The United States’ Hope Hangs Precariously.]

[Shock! The meaning of Initial G’s request to remember himself!]

Initial G.

He was an unidentified terrorist, also known as Geronimo among FBI agents and police officers.

yesterday.

He was the man who blew up the grave of former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and assassinated former President and current Supreme Court Chief Justice Taft.

Later, he was the one who terrorized the house of a Korean named Seungman Lee, who had come all the way from Joseon, and prevented his writing activities.

The name Geronimo has become, in the United States today, as infamous as Goyasle, by that alias, if not even more so.

People couldn’t help but be terrified when they heard the news of an unidentified terrorist named Geronimo.

An unidentified terrorist, evading all pursuit by police and law enforcement agencies, roamed the United States as if it were his own home, killing people and detonating bombs everywhere.

But in this situation, how can we guarantee that we won’t be caught up in his terrorism?

There was considerable anxiety, especially among people living in major metropolitan areas in the east.

Since these people lived in the area where Geronimo was mainly active, they felt Geronimo’s threat more keenly than other Americans.

[Geronimo! Who is he?]

[The mysterious samurai from the land of the rising sun! Tear apart the United States of America!]

[America! Oh America! Goodbye!]

There, the yellow press fanned the flames of anxiety by writing articles that amplified people’s anxiety, to the point where even sane people felt uneasy.

“That guy named Geronimo… … .”

“There was a robbery at the bank a while ago, and they say it was Geronimo’s doing… … .”

“A person died in the alley, and that too… … .”

All the crimes happening around them were named after Geronimo.

And the percentage of citizens in the eastern metropolitan area owning personal firearms was increasing.

To make matters worse, the militia that was formed in the eastern region recently has grown in size to the point where it is now on the police watch list.

All of this just one person.

It was because of Geronimo.

The whole country was on edge because of this one person.

Every citizen of the United States anxiously awaited Geronimo’s next move.

However, Geronimo confronted the FBI agents and killed them.

And not just one or two, but eleven, and they weren’t just killed, they were hung on a large billboard in New York as if they were hanged.

Hoover quickly tried to cover up the situation, but he was not an omnipotent god and could not control every situation.

Although the FBI’s investigative power and capabilities are the best in the United States, they cannot blind everyone.

Especially if you are constantly being harassed by Geronimo.

“Where on earth did you get this information from!”

“I don’t know… … .”

“What? You don’t know? You don’t know? If you don’t know, then you should find out!”

“That, that… … . First, we arrested the reporter and conducted an investigation… … .”

* * *

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s interrogation room.

One person was tied up in a bright, airy, and clean interrogation room, unlike other damp, gloomy, and dark interrogation rooms.

And across from him sat a FBI agent, staring blankly at the reporter strapped to his chair.

“So, to sum it up… … . Are you saying that while you were writing an article, a colleague brought in some data and used that as a source for the article?”

“How many times do I have to tell you that!”

“Wow… … But why can’t you tell me who the colleague who brought the data is?”

“That was… … . It was dark at night, and I was so tired that I couldn’t even see who it was.”

“Do you think that makes sense?”

“What can’t be done?”

“Ha, right… … .”

The investigator sighed lightly, scratching his head with the corner of the file.

‘If it were normal, I would have made him open his mouth somehow… … .’

If it were a normal FBI agency, when they received an order from above to get information, they would have used any means necessary to get the information they wanted out of that mouth.

But that wasn’t possible now.

‘There are too many eyes watching from around me… … .’

As luck would have it, the opponent happened to be a newspaper reporter.

A single newspaper reporter had nothing to fear, but now, with the FBI under surveillance across the country, only bad news was coming out.

If word got out that someone had died at the FBI, that would be the FBI’s last day.

“ha…….”

“If there’s nothing more to investigate, release me quickly!”

“Ha… … . This is driving me crazy.”

There was chaos above trying to get information somehow, but on the ground, it was very difficult to get information.

All investigators have so far is that Geronimo murdered FBI agents and distributed the information to reporters.

That was the end.

‘There doesn’t seem to be any connection between the journalists and Geronimo… … .’

The facts that have now been revealed are these.

But if I were to report this straight to Director Hoover, who was already furious, his desk would probably disappear by tomorrow.

‘What should I do with this… … .’

The direction was set from above and the investigation results were forcibly forced to fit that direction, so only the investigators and agents on the scene died.

But in this situation, no one could raise the issue or complain to Director Hoover about the situation.

In any case, Director Hoover was a big shot who enjoyed the president’s thick trust.

so.

“Phew… … Let me ask again, where exactly did the information you received come from?”

“How many times do I have to tell you that my colleague brought it!!!”

Thanks to this, the FBI continues to ask the same questions and give the same answers today.

* * *

Meanwhile, the culprit who created this whole situation is… … .

“Hehehehe~”

-Chijijik.

He brought a barbecue grill to the rooftop of a new building in New York and was grilling meat while humming a tune in sunglasses and a Hawaiian T-shirt.

Next to him, Dr. Lee, dressed in a suit, was watching this with a sullen expression.

“They say the United States of America is in complete chaos because of you alone.”

“Is that so? That’s a good thing.”

“Because of you, people are dying every day, Asians are being discriminated against more, and anxiety is growing in American society.”

“Oh, like that.”

“It seems that there are people who are starting to question the current economic situation where the economy is on an upward trend even amidst social unrest.”

“Huh, is that so?”

-Chiiik.

I turned the meat over.

Then, the juices inside the meat flowed down onto the grill, and pure white smoke rose up.

“Anxiety… … . Isn’t it fun?”

“What’s so funny?”

“No, why… … . Some people shed tears while burning hundreds of thousands of dollars in the stock market, while others shed tears because they don’t have bread to eat tomorrow.”

“What’s so funny about that?”

“The point is this.”

I closed the grill lid, put down the tongs, and took off my cooking gloves.

“Would it really be that the United States of America, which had been fine, would be thrown into chaos and the people would be anxious because of that one person?”

“Then does that mean it’s not true?”

“I didn’t create something that didn’t exist before.”

Finally, I took off my sunglasses and met Dr. Lee’s gaze.

“I just helped people face the facts they were turning a blind eye to.”

“… … .”

“You said that because of me, the image of Koreans in the United States has been damaged and Americans have come to have a negative perception of Koreans.”

I put my sunglasses on again and laughed.

“Do I really need to know that? Most Americans probably don’t even know where Joseon is located anyway.”

“what……?”

“Rather, isn’t it a good thing that my actions have helped countless Americans learn that there was a country called Joseon? If it was a bottomless pit before, at least there is a bottom now.”

“No, that’s… … . That’s… … .”

The doctor tried to refute what I said for a moment, but he opened and closed his mouth a few times because he couldn’t think of anything to say.

I smiled at the sight of Dr. Lee like that, put my cooking gloves back on, and picked up the tongs.

“The United States of America today is not much different from this steak here.”

The first steak I ever grilled was cooked to perfection on the outside, but still raw on the inside.

“Everyone seems very sensitive on the outside, but inside, there is still a little hope that things will return to normal at some point.”

“… … .”

“But soon Americans will find out.”

I quietly cut the steak in half.

Then, bake it evenly without leaving any gaps inside.

“The fact that we can no longer go back to the way things were before.”

“Are you already making up your mind?”

“I’m not making any conclusions.”

As he said that, he placed half a well-cooked steak on the doctor’s plate.

“I was just telling the truth.”

“… … .”

“Do you know what month and day it is today?”

“It’s October 29th.”

“It’s October 29, 1927.”

“Why do you ask that?”

“Soon. Soon.”

I smiled and put the other half on a plate.

And then, holding a fork and knife, he greeted the doctor properly.

“Then enjoy your meal.”

But the doctor shook his head and pushed the plate forward.

“I’m old and my teeth are bad so I can’t eat anything unless it’s rare.”

“ah.”
