I caught the tailers without anyone noticing, but the fact that I was targeted by someone made me feel uncomfortable.
How careful were you not to draw attention from others?
Even when going abroad, they entered a neighboring country and secretly crossed the border.
‘It’s not like he was tailing me.’
The targets of the trailheads were likely to be President Park and Chief Kim.
If so, it must be because of something related to gold.
The two of them have been researching about the gold refinery lately.
thump thump-
I passed through the karaoke corridor full of accompaniment and singing and returned to my original room.
President Park and Chief Kim were waiting for me.
“The party is over.”
President Park understood my meaning and turned off the karaoke machine.
“sorry. I was rudely trampled on and trampled on.”
“If President Park was beaten, that means they are pros.”
At my answer, President Park put on an embarrassed expression.
‘Barrier.’
pat-
I created a transparent barrier that enveloped the entire room.
I learned ＜barrier＞ magic not too long ago, and it was very useful.
All physical and chemical elements could be selectively blocked.
‘Sound blocked.’
hiss-
All sounds from outside were blocked by the barrier.
In an instant, silence came.
Just as the outside sound cannot come in, the inside cannot go out either.
Since only sound was selectively blocked, other elements such as light and air passed through normally.
‘Block animals.’
Animals were blocked in the same way.
Now, no animals, including humans, can pass through the barrier.
So there won’t be any karaoke staff or drunken guests suddenly entering our room.
I reached out into the air.
hiss-
I took out the trailing guys from the inventory into the blind spot of the CCTV.
They looked around and asked in amazement.
“What have you done to us?”
He seemed to think that he had been taken to another room in a state of fainting.
President Park asked me.
“Chairman, leave these guys to me!”
.
.
.
The bloody torture was going on in our room while the other room sang happily.
puck-
puck puck-
President Park tied them up and beat them.
“Even if I endure, I will only earn a hawk.”
support support-
This time it was stunned with an electric shock.
As an expert in this field, he continued the interrogation by beating and sluggish, letting him off his guard and then losing him with electricity.
“I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!”
They finally opened their mouths.
“I have been instructed to watch you from above!”
Through their confessions, I found out three things.
First, their targets were, of course, not me, but President Park and Chief Kim.
They had already been following the two for three days.
But today was the first time I came to this town.
While I was making golems at the workshop in Icheon, President Park and Chief Kim didn’t come to my neighborhood.
And secondly, they only moved after being instructed by the upper line, but they did not know why they were investigating President Park and Chief Kim.
Third and last, they didn’t know who their superiors were.
Because their organization is in the form of a point organization, they were exchanging information with the upper line non-face-to-face.
trudging-
I approached the tailers.
Then he stretched out his hands and placed them on top of the two men’s heads.
‘Memory read.’
pat-
24-hour memories of them entered my head.
But there was no useful information.
All I could remember was following President Park and Chief Kim all day.
This way, it’s not easy to find out who their superiors are.
‘It’s bothering me.’
President Park, who read my expression, opened his mouth.
“Leave these guys to me. We will definitely find out who their superiors are and why they were spying on us.”
I nodded.
It can’t be easily solved with magic, so I’ll leave it to the expert, President Park.
Also, since their targets were President Park and Chief Kim, not me, I would do more harm than good if I acted on my own.
If you don’t do it right, you might make those who are chasing the tail notice the existence of the head.
“Okay, and borrow an office.”
I can’t keep bringing President Park and Chief Kim into my house, who are being followed by the trailhead.
I will not use the basement of my house as a hideout from now on.
.
.
.
President Park and Chief Kim took the trailers and left.
I returned home, looking around with ＜Detection＞.
I entered the living room and looked at the clock on the wall, it was 1:00 AM.
‘I’m tired.’
I was in a situation where I couldn’t sleep for two days because I was making a golem, but I had to go to bed late today because of an unexpected situation.
Although the elixir relieves the fatigue of the body, it is still necessary to sleep for a certain amount of time.
After learning magic, I realized that the act of sleeping and dreaming not only relieves the fatigue of the body, but also plays a role beyond that.
shoot-
I took a cool shower and lay down on a comfy bed.
And fell into a deep sleep.
***
I was standing in the backyard of a factory.
It will be lucid dreaming.
The trees were giving off a bright light.
I put my finger on the leaf.
pat-
As the leaves radiate light, a piece of knowledge was passed on to me.
The first knowledge was ＜how to make weapons＞.
It was an ‘ice ax manufacturing method’ that injecting elixir into the handle would create cold air on the ax blade.
‘I don’t really need anything like this.’
The magic weapons looked great, but there was no use for them.
pat-
The second knowledge gained was the ＜dark eye＞, which allows one to see clearly in the dark.
‘This is rather fine.’
I put my finger on the last leaf.
pat-
Learned the ＜Amnesia＞ magic to erase the opponent’s memory.
At the point of erasing, memories up to 24 hours ago could be erased.
‘There will be many times when I will use this.’
self-
The tree that handed over all knowledge lost its light.
You will have to wait another day before you can take over your new knowledge.
I entered the elixir extraction plant.
“president!”
The manager standing next to the extractor greeted me.
In her hand was a stone box.
A copy of the stone box from the Japanese battleship.
Copies cannot be taken out into the real world, but in a dream, all physicochemical characteristics as well as shape and material were the same as the original.
If it had magical properties, even that was the same.
So, I ordered the manager to analyze the stone box.
“Did you find out anything?”
“I just discovered a great fact!”
She replied in a very excited tone.
She didn’t get excited except when eating something delicious, but seeing that her face was flushed, she must have figured out something great.
“It is easier to see than to explain in words. Come this way!”
The manager led me to the warehouse.
The Elixir Extraction Factory had two warehouses.
One is the Golden Warehouse, the other is the Elixir Warehouse.
The place she followed her to was the Elixir Warehouse.
Inside the warehouse was an elixir shimmering in golden light.
The elixir was a liquid, not a solid, but it had no storage container.
It floated in the warehouse in the shape of a giant ball.
Just as a liquid takes the form of a sphere due to surface tension in a state of zero gravity.
“Why did you come here? Are you saying that Seokham has something to do with the Elixir?”
“Take a look at this.”
She approached the elixir and opened the lid of the stone box.
Then, he poured the elixir into the stone box as if he were scooping rice with a wooden gourd.
“look! It contains the elixir!”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You can’t put an elixir in a regular bowl or bottle!”
It was the first time I had heard that a normal container could not contain an elixir.
Until now, there was no way to put the elixir anywhere.
The manager explained.
“Even a special container that can contain mana and life water cannot contain an elixir!”
Mana and the water of life.
Every word that came out of her mouth had nothing to do with this world.
“So what is the conclusion?”
“This stone box! It must have been made by an alchemist!”
***
As soon as I woke up in the morning, I picked up my phone.
And I searched for alchemy.
‘The one who made the stone box was an alchemist?’
Certainly, there have been attempts to make gold on Earth since ancient times.
Many called themselves alchemists, and many claimed that they had succeeded in making gold.
But no modern man would believe their words.
If lead or iron could be turned into gold, who would pay a lot of money to buy gold?
thiririri-
I got a phone call from Mr. Park.
-Chairman, I found out the top line of these guys.
“okay? It’s fast.”
Overnight, President Park uncovered who was behind the tailers.
-They were Internet secret agents.
The top line of the trailblazers were internet agencies that used spy apps to hack an unspecified number of cell phones and sell personal information to illegal gambling sites or loan companies.
In addition to mobile phone hacking, he operated a shop organization and committed illegal activities such as wiretapping and tailing.
-There was a client who asked them to monitor all the gold casting facilities in Korea.
“casting? Aren’t they tablets?”
-The factory we were looking for also had a casting facility. That’s why they targeted us.
“Who is the client?”
– They are not Koreans, they are Hong Kong bastards.
Since they were Hong Kong guys, they seemed to know what was going on.
***
A gold and silver room in Jongno.
A dazzlingly beautiful woman was looking at the gold bar.
From noble mtl dot com
＜Korea Gold Exchange / 1,000g＞
＜Korea Certified Gold Exchange / 200g＞
＜Korea Mint / 1,000g＞
.
.
.
The gold bars placed in front of her were of different manufacturers, and of various shapes and weights.
“Is there a magnifying glass in the store? I want to take a closer look.”
“Come this way.”
The owner of the gold and silver room led her to the place where the stand-type magnifying glass was installed.
The woman then used it to examine some gold bars closely.
Then he told the owner of the gold and silver room.
“I don’t have what I’m looking for.”
Her Korean was very fluent, but not with a native accent.
The goldsmith asked her.
“The gold bars are all 99.99 pure, so what the hell are you looking for…”
“I’ll come back later. take care.”
The woman got out of the gold and silver room and got into a vehicle parked nearby.
She sat in the passenger seat and said to the man in the back seat.
“[We didn’t have our gold bars here either.]”
The man in the back seat was Hwa-yong, an official of the triad.
The group he led was trying in various ways to find the gold bars stolen from the temple.
“[It means that the gold bars were not circulated in the market as they are.]”
The gold bars kept at the temple were not marked with logos or purity.
But there was a mark that only they could recognize.
A very small secret mark that can only be seen with a magnifying glass.
If someone did not melt the gold bars, but only printed the logo and purity and distributed them to the market, they could distinguish their gold bars.
However, the gold bar with the mark could not be found.
“Let’s stop looking for signs.”
“Yes, sir.”
“There’s no way the guys who transported 100 tons of gold bars could not have just used the gold bars. It must have been melted down and cast again, or it must be preparing to do so.”
“We’re looking into that as well, so we’ll be in touch soon.”
At first, Hwayong thought the culprit who stole the gold was an angel capital.
Then, after I found out that wasn’t the case, my heart became impatient.
I was collecting clues by heading almost to the bare ground.
Due to the lack of manpower, even a Korean detective agency was mobilized.
“Let’s go back to the officetel for now.”
“Yes, sir.”
Vureung-
The driver started the engine.
It was then.
“stop!”
Suddenly a man blocked their car.
