Chapter 127 Divine RevelationZodiac 99 is a recently emerged Parisian gang consisting of young people in a slum. Drug distribution is the main source of income, and they commit a wide variety of evils, including kidnapping and prostitution.
They shoot very often, and they don’t even think about going to jail.
Just a mindset to die on the street.
“The French national police also find them very troublesome. It’s not even an illegal pistol, and the gangs who come out to fight use assault rifles.”
The assault rifle in some photos was the FAMAS, a standard rifle for the French army.
It is a bullpup-type assault rifle and features a fast rate of fire. So, in France, it is converted into a mana core and used to attack the dungeon.
‘Isn’t this almost a militant force, not a gang?’
One question was, they all had guns that were converted to mana cores.
It’s not the AK37, which is so common that it’s illegally distributed, and it’s hard to find a standard French rifle, but it’s a new model that’s been modified with a mana core?
How did the gangs get these weapons, which are difficult to obtain even for illegal weapons distributors?
In particular, the FAMAS was a rifle produced by the French arsenal.
‘Well, it seems that some of it is flowing into Africa, but it’s not a weapon that can be obtained from the gang.’
“No matter how great your informant is, it seems difficult for you to dig up this information on your own. First of all, when attacking the dungeon, you need to find and investigate the case where all the soldiers died and only the hunters came back alive. And you need to find a hunter who lives in Paris and uses the spirit-type skills. It is most likely from Nice, and there will be points of contact with Guillaume Renoir.”
To get this information, you first need the help of the French Hunter Association and the DGSE and GIGN. It wasn’t easy for her to figure out on her own without their help.
This is France, not Israel.
Mud dogs also eat in the front yard of my house, but DGSE is not a hunting dog, but it protects the house well.
I was confident in fighting. There is no one in this world who fights better than Tae-Sung Yoon.
Because Yoon Tae-sung has experiences from his previous life.
However, even though he had never fought a person with mental abilities, he could have predicted that he would be quite demanding.
There were a lot of skills that were uploaded to the Rune Network, and their attributes were very diverse.
This is because there were still many cases where the government was acquiring loot, and the market was not yet active.
It will be difficult to obtain a skill book as time goes by.
There were three of them on the Rune Network as mental attribute skills.
-Illusion
– Telepathy
Although the mental attribute itself was not common, it was a fairly common skill among the mental attributes.
It was a skill that applied mental manipulation, and it was definitely not a common skill.
He was not very interested in mental properties. Like non-attributes, I thought that most of the skills used were auxiliary skills rather than skills that could be personally usefully used.
To be honest, I couldn’t believe that Illusion or Telepathy would help when Yoon Tae-sung fights monsters.
However, as it is necessary in the current situation, it is necessary to investigate further.
As Tae-Sung Yoon took the lead in three skills, he interpreted the runes in a more detailed and perfect way.
A person who had originally studied the structure of runes with an interest in the mental series took the lead, and discussions about the structure, effects, and principles of runes continued.
Difficult theories related to brain science and psychology also emerged.
In the meantime, information collection continued.
Evelyn took the advice of Tae-Sung Yoon and collaborated with DGSE to collect information by mobilizing her own sources.
Tae-Sung Yoon asked Robert Martinez to find out if there were any arms dealers who supply weapons to Zodiac 99 or there.
– Yoon! As far as I can tell, no weapons have been supplied there. Mana core guns are very hard to find even for us.
“okay? All right.”
– Departure will take about a month.
“That’s enough to get the job done.”
Tae-Sung Yoon ended the call.
‘If you’re not an arms dealer, I think my thoughts are almost certain.’
Attack the dungeon.
Kill the soldiers who entered with him, steal weapons and ammunition, and store them in a subspace.
If I had been given weapons other than this, there was nothing other than the Ministry of National Defense or the French Arsenal. Do you have any connections that allow the gang to illegally obtain weapons from the Ministry of National Defense or the Arsenal?
This is hard to think of.
All the soldiers died, but the Hunter returned alive and cleared the dungeon five times in total.
What kind of society is modern society?
It was an era where all information was recorded digitally and information was easily searchable.
The French Ministry of Defense and the Hunter Association also manage dungeons through the ‘Hunter Manager’ app and program. This is because this program was very effective in managing the dungeon and controlling the hunter.
Among them, there was one hunter who lived in Paris and was associated with Guillaume Renoir.
He didn’t register his own skill, so I don’t know if he’s a psychic or not.
“André Pirès! I’m from the orphanage that Guillaume built. There are five hunters on a team including Andre, and there were a total of five cases in your particular case. We are currently monitoring them.”
The DGSE’s operational commander spoke to Tae-Sung Yoon during the meeting.
Just monitoring it would mean that we’re going to do a little more research on the Knights Templar.
However, the most important problem at the moment was a gang called Joyak 99.
Because they kidnapped Elodie Satchel.
In other words, you can see that there is an Awakened in a gang called Zodiac 99. Otherwise, the chance of a talented agent named Elodie Satchel being kidnapped is very low.
“Have you found the home of Zodiac 99?”
“I asked the police for information, but they don’t know much about Zoniac 99’s home base. It’s a new gang, and not much is known about it.”
Tae-Sung Yoon looked at Evelyn Rafaeli.
“It’s the same for us too. I don’t know if they planted an informant in the gang beforehand, otherwise it’s hard to find out.”
After all, the CIA and the police can only succeed if they put a lot of effort into planting secret agents in this direction.
They’re not real informants, they’re just Mossad collaborators, and everyone must have a job. Such people do not know the gang in detail.
“André Pirès mainly resides in a club in Paris called Queen.”
“Isn’t it better to just raid Andre Pirès and find out?”
“Then, if the gangsters even kill Agent Elodie… it will be very difficult for us. Zodiac 99 guys are very radical. It is difficult to be captured by the police, and most of them would just die on the street if they were going to jail.”
Even the police in Paris found Zodiac 99 very difficult. After all, if you take a French assault rifle and say you want to die together, if you fight them, there is no choice but to cause a shootout.
Many casualties occur.
With these guys… it’s impossible to easily touch an agent while they’re in captivity.
“So your strategy is to just watch and wait for the Zodiac 99 to appear?”
“Aside from that, we are also monitoring the Hunters who mention the Temple.”
It doesn’t seem like it would work very well.
“Can you possibly get FAMAS? In Zodiac 99, there’s a good chance you’re looking for weapons, so it’d be a good idea to keep an eye on it and approach it as well.”
André Pirès and his party have already caused five such incidents. Such an event cannot happen too often. Obviously, the association would think it was strange.
So obviously Zodiac 99 is also looking for a way to get weapons.
“If I can get enough guns, I’ll try to do that.”
This cannot be determined by the DGSE. It was possible to obtain permission from the Minister of Defense through the Director General.
It was probably a matter of distributing guns.
Tae-Sung Yoon obtained 100 FAMAS tablets. They are all modified versions with mana core grips, which are hard to find these days, and they are packaged in a large wooden box.
After that, he disappeared into his subspace.
– You mean to spread the word about the Zodiac 99?
Robert Martinez asked.
“Yes, you can.”
-You know this is quite difficult and difficult, right? Trust is our life too. Even a weapon buyer rarely buys a weapon from a weapon vendor he or she meets for the first time.
However, it is difficult for Robert Martinez to get involved. If there’s even a rumor that he’s got ties to the police or the DGSE, who’s going to buy him a weapon?
“Mr. Robert can really sell it. I got 100 tablets of FAMAS modified with mana core grips.”
There is an actual item, and Robert Martinez can sell the weapon to Zodiac 99.
Of course, there was no way Tae-Sung Yoon could just sell guns. He already did a little trick on FAMAS.
It is not simply acquired as a skill, but if you understand and learn while analyzing the structure of runes, you can use the characteristics of the skill to use it in a variety of ways.
Tae-Sung Yoon used the mana core crystals made with the grip.
Abracus was planted here like a landmine.
Abracus is very durable. It does not disappear unless the curse is detoxed.
It was located in the complete opposite position to the skill that disappears after creating instantaneous destructive power such as lightning.
Abracus is planted on the guy who used the gun through the mine. After that, he thought that if he pursued the gnome, he could find the home of Zodiac 99.
Since it was 100 guns, wouldn’t that be enough?
– Hmm, okay? You mean I can sell that gun for Zodiac 99?
“Yes. I’ll personally figure out how to track it. There will be no harm to Mr. Robert.”
-Okay, then the proceeds are halved.
Tae-Sung Yun crossed over to Nice and handed the gun to Robert Martinez at the port.
He once worked with the CIA and worked as an arms dealer in France for quite some time.
It’s safer than making a lot of money, and even if it’s illegal to distribute weapons, it’s only handled enough that there won’t be any major problems later. So Robert Martinez was a pretty trustworthy person on this floor.
A week later, I got a call from Robert Martinez.
– I made an appointment. Do you think your weapon is in a hurry? They don’t even know who they are, they just make a deal. The price was supposed to be around two million dollars.
It is more than 25 billion Korean Won. One gun sold for about 25 million won. It was a business that left almost five times more.
– It’s a hard-to-find item, so I called it a bit expensive.
After all, it’s not strange to sell such weapons at such a low price.
Tae-Sung Yoon was given the time and place that Robert Martinez and the other party had agreed to meet.
DGSE was deliberately not contacted.
It’s because they’re collecting information on their own side, too, and if they intervene and attack Zodiac 99, then Robert’s position becomes difficult.
Robert Martinez moved the weapon in a pickup truck. Yoon Tae-sung sat in the passenger seat.
“You say you’re going through Paris, and you make a lot of noise.”
“I didn’t know that the CIA would list me as a Level 3 Dangerous Person.”
“This gun, can we possibly recycle it? I think it would be better to sell it to Africa. It’s half-hell these days.”
Africa also has an army and a lot of armed forces. The proportion of awakened hunters would be similar.
However, the land is wide, and even if the mana core technology is revealed, there is no ability to craft a gun.
They’re mostly used items that have been retired from standard rifles from other countries, so how do you get a mana core gun?
Even if they bought it somehow, they had no choice but to distribute mana core guns in their country first of course.
Thanks to this, the jungles of Africa are now a paradise for monsters.
Of course, this was also the case in the Amazon jungles of South America, the deserts of the Middle East, and the mountainous regions of China.
The problem is that Africa has little power to stop monsters jumping out of the jungle into the city.
“First, let’s finish this job and see you later.”
