NIS Agents Tearing Up the Japanese Empire - Chapter 56



Only Krnovel

Wolf’s Den – 6

Kim Won-bong and Uiyoldan seemed to have already left for Manchuria to avoid the Soviet intelligence service that was prowling around Tianjin.

It was impossible to catch up with them by land, as they were already far behind, so the only way left was to take a boat and cross the West Sea.

However, the problem is···.

“Ships are more difficult to inspect than land routes.”

“······.”

“Isn’t there a better way, Miss Iba?”

“······well.”

Iva looked back and forth between me and her subordinates, very nervous.

Now her subordinates were still under me, not even moving an inch.

“Don’t worry too much, they’re not dead.”

“Really···?”

“I told you so. Everyone else will think I just fainted, so don’t worry too much.”

Everyone’s complexion was pale and they were shaking, but since that was usually the case for most drunk Russians, it didn’t really matter.

“What was that bomb that made it do that?”

“Um… It’s some kind of gas.”

“Gas? Is it poison gas?”

“Not really… Um… It’s just a kind of sleeping gas that puts people to sleep comfortably.”

“Sleeping gas? Where did you get such effective stuff?”

Iva seemed surprised that my skills were better than she had thought.

“······It’s a trade secret.”

But I was also surprised.

‘Why can’t these kids get up?’

What was inside there wasn’t any kind of sleeping gas, it was just tear gas.

These were items that had been completely blown out of the remaining inventory from the previous Shanghai Bank building, and a few had been picked up from the pile of defective goods that remained.

It was something that didn’t explode properly, and even if it did explode, it wouldn’t have the same power as the original, so it was something I brought with me with the intention of using it appropriately in emergency situations…

The Soviet intelligence agents were completely unconscious after inhaling the gas.

‘Who would have thought that inhaling a little bit of that gas would cause you to pass out?’

But fortunately or unfortunately, I was less worried because it seemed like he was breathing.

‘There’s a difference between simply refusing to work with the Soviet guys and quietly killing all the agents because you don’t want to work with them.’

If I were to work with the Soviets, it would mean that I would become their friend, and in turn, I would share in their favors and their grudges.

As I said last time, the Soviet intelligence agency is a group of guys who spread favors here and there, to the point where they even killed elite agents of the British MI6.

Of course, this is not a unique Soviet feature; it is a common problem for all intelligence agencies around the world.

So, if possible, it was necessary to keep exchanges with foreign intelligence agencies to a minimum until Nana or the Republic of Korea established its foundation.

This is because in this world, a friend who is dead or alive can become an enemy with just one phone call, and you can also end up taking a commemorative photo with the enemy you were just shooting at while laughing.

So, if possible, there was no need to become too friendly with the people on this side, nor was there any need to develop strong hostility towards them.

“Miss Iba.”

“why.”

“What about Mrs. Aldrich, and why is our Miss Iva left to wander around blushing all alone?”

“······Madame is resting at the hotel while waiting for the ship to return to her home country.”

“Really? Are you feeling unwell?

“That’s not it···.”

Iva’s expression became a little darker than usual.

“I think it’s because you’re still suffering from the aftereffects of your trip, and you’re still a bit shocked by the various things that happened during the train robbery.”

“Oh, my… But I’m sure Mrs. Aldrich would shake it off and get up right away, right?”

It had to be that way.

My only American connection couldn’t afford to die here in vain.

If only she were here, I could be introduced to America’s upper class as not just some rich oriental monkey, but some mysterious tycoon from across the ocean.

“Please take good care of Mrs. Aldrich.”

“I was thinking the same thing even if you didn’t say so.”

“That’s right.”

After finishing the short but meaningful conversation with her, I stood up from my seat.

“Well then, I guess it’s time for us to part ways.”

“······Don’t think this is the end.”

“Hehehe, isn’t it true that our relationship isn’t meant to end like this, Miss Iba?”

At my words, Ms. Iba asked me with a face that seemed as if she was dumbfounded.

“What is our relationship like?”

“Iba-yang follows me around like crazy, asking to meet just once because she likes me, but I’m not the type of person who follows me around because she likes me, so I’m reluctant to meet her… Well, it’s just the kind of relationship you often see around here.”

“When did I ever follow you around!”

“Isn’t that so?”

I showed her the photo I had torn in half a moment ago.

There was a scene where I was buying a train ticket at Shanghai Station.

“Oh my~ How much did you like me that you even did such an inappropriate stalker thing?”

“Ugh… I’m sure someone who knows very well that that’s not the case….”

“Miss Iba, there are many men in the world, so you can find a good man other than me.”

“······?”

I knew about Kim Won-bong’s activities. There was no need to hang out with Ms. Lee Ba ​​and the 40-member spy group who kept pestering me to work together.

“I’m busy with construction work… That’s all for now!”

“Wait a minute. Are you really going to do this? Are you really rejecting our offer?”

“huh.”

With those words, he left the empty room.

Iva was talking about something behind me, but I ignored it all and just said what I wanted to say.

“See you next time in America, Iva.”

“When, where!”

“When you see me walking down the street, you know it’s finally here.”

And when I went out the entrance, the security guard I had met a few days ago was standing there.

“hi?”

“······Thank you for coming to the empty house.”

The security guard seemed to recognize me, but he pretended not to know me and nodded his head instead of greeting me.

“hmm.”

“Why, why are you doing that?”

“Are your fingers okay?”

“Huh? Cow, why your fingers···.”

The guard quickly hid his hand.

“No, I’m glad you’re okay.”

I smiled broadly and clenched my fist.

Then he hit the security guard’s lower abdomen with all his might.

“Ugh!”

Then, his body arched like a bow and he was able to bow politely to me and bid me farewell.

“Next time you greet people, remember this angle, my friend.”

“Kehek···. Gulp gulp···.”

“Thank you… See you later!”

Seeing that even the hotel security guard did not forget to say thank you, it can be said that this is a proper etiquette for a Confucian country like China.

When I thought of Mao Zedong, the communist mare who had mercilessly destroyed this good thing, my whole body began to tremble.

“The communists···.”

I looked up as if it were a habit.

The innocent and pure sky has always welcomed me with open arms.

“Phew···.”

A few minutes after leaving the hotel, a tail was caught.

If there were any guys in Tianjin who could have been chasing me, it would have been the Soviet intelligence guys I had just parted ways with, blushing.

I went into a nearby back alley, took off my silicone mask, and threw my clothes into the trash can.

And then I finished my disguise by changing into the clothes I had in my bag, putting a fake beard on my face, and wearing glasses without a prescription.

And as I came out of the alley, I saw some menacing-looking white men scanning the area with eagle eyes.

“Oh my god···.”

“Tsk… Be careful.”

“Oh… I’m sorry.”

I pretended to bump into them by mistake and then casually took out a few wallets and a passport from my bosom.

Needless to say, their wallets were full of money to spend on activities, and their passports were great items that anyone could use by simply changing their photo.

‘The communists···.’

They were truly helpful.

‘Phew… It’s almost time to go back to the wolf’s den.’

After a few months, it was time to return to Gyeongseong.

******

Late at night, on a quiet country road in Shandong Province.

It was quite late, but several trucks were lined up and passing along the country road as if they didn’t care about that.

Because the road was not paved with asphalt, dust would rise up where the truck passed, and the road was so bad that small rocks occasionally bounced from the car in front and hit the windshield.

“Oh my, my butt…”

“Are you okay?”

“I feel like my butt is going to break. Drive slowly!”

“You’re driving it quite gently even now, you know.”

“So, you idiot, don’t be so slow!”

The officer took his anger out on the driver for no reason.

The driver felt extremely wronged, but he could not go against the words of the officer who had been waiting for him for so long, so he just endured it silently and continued driving.

“Oh my… I’m going to take a nap, so wake me up when you get there.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“If you go without waking me up like last time and the battalion commander catches you… Then, be prepared.”

“······yep.”

At the officer’s brutal threat, the driver cowered like a turtle and drove cautiously.

That was because he didn’t know what kind of trouble the officer who had fallen asleep might cause if he woke up.

“Huh? Captain, the road is blocked?”

“Hmm… What does that mean? Why is a road that was fine until yesterday blocked?”

“It looks like someone set fire in front of me.”

“fire?”

The officer rubbed his eyes and got up from his seat.

Then, a huge blaze of flames appeared before his eyes, blocking the road.

“what’s this?!”

“I, I don’t know either.”

“Hey, tsk···.”

The officer clicked his tongue and got out of the car.

Then the identity of the fire blocking the road became clearly visible.

“What? Who put a log in the road?!”

At the officer’s deep, thick shout that came from his lower abdomen, the people riding in the following vehicles also got out of their cars one by one and approached the officer.

“Sir?”

“What’s going on?”

“No, someone put a log in the road and set it on fire! I’m already so busy… Hey, man!”

The officer, unable to contain his anger, kicked a rock on the roadside for no reason.

The stone, which had received the tremendous energy that had been emitted from his feet, flew far into the grass, but there was no rustling sound as it hit the grass or a thud as it hit the ground.

Literally disappeared into the darkness.

But the officer was just annoyed by this situation without any suspicion.

“Tell all the troops to get out and put out the fire and clear away these damn logs!”

“Are you talking about now?”

“Then, do you want to do it when the sun rises tomorrow?! Hurry up and move quickly, you little shits!!!”

“Oh, I see!”

At the officer’s command, other non-commissioned officers and officers also ran around busily, scolding the soldiers.

“Everyone get off! Get off!”

“Get down quickly!”

“It’s work! Get down!”

The soldiers who had been in the truck got out of the car one by one and lined up on the side of the road.

One of the officers who was watching the scene muttered to himself with a cigarette in his mouth.

“But blocking the road in the middle of the night and lighting a fire… Isn’t that usually done to attack a procession passing by?”

It was an obvious question, but unfortunately his thoughts were not conveyed to others.

“Ugh! Ugh….”

A large hand appeared out of the darkness, covered his mouth, and shoved a large piece of metal into his throat.

The officer, who seemed to be somewhat intelligent, disappeared into the darkness, and soon dozens of gun barrels popped out from the darkness.

The gun barrels were pointed at the soldiers who had just gotten out of their trucks and were lined up on the roadside, forming a line, and the officers who were watching them with opium pipes in their mouths.

“On my signal.”

“Wow… It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Inspector Sasaki running around the scene!”

“Where can I see some high-level detective marksmanship skills?”

“······Everyone, be quiet.”

Soon, sparks began to sparkle in the darkness and the Beiyang Army soldiers began to dance.
