Episode 172. Bear & Crow (3)
Walter Schmitz heard the conversation between the two reverberating in the dark and shouted in a desperate voice.
“No matter what you guys do or what you do to us, we won’t find out!”
It was a voice full of determination.
Sensing this, Simon answered calmly.
“okay? Well— you guys might change your mind if you get hit by the methods you used to use.”
“The way we used to?”
While doubts were growing, Simon explained.
“Quietam Conlectus. Ah— you don’t know because you’re not Savnak, you’re Scarlet Knights? It’s the same organization. How often do you interact?”
Simon moved the fingers of both hands as if crossing them in the dark.
Seeing this, the faces of Walter Schmitz and Franz Neumann turned white.
Simon saw it in the dark and nodded.
“Fortunately, I see one often. During the civil war in Congo, Savnak made parents burn in front of their children. This time, instead of them, we made each other burn out.”
Walter Schmitz and Franz Neumann saw the chains wrapped around their bodies and the water lapping on the floor. Instead, the two waterholes were not connected.
“I’m starting, so I’m enjoying it. Why do you resent Savnak, who created the method?”
click—
The sound of a switch being raised echoed and the lights went out and it became dark.
At the same time, the two chained people did not move. It was because the moment it moved, an electric current was discharged from somewhere and came in through the water and the chain.
It was torture using flow sensors for booby traps used in bombs.
Honestly, rather than torture, it was more like Savnak’s entertainment to enjoy watching people in pain.
Simon had driven a wire into the mouth of a Savnak mercenary who was torturing a family in Kinshasha, Congo, and burned it to death.
During the silence, Simon and Jack’s voices echoed in the darkness.
“Throw it.”
“Ok—!”
Hung- Puck!
Walter Schmitz was hit by something heavy that flew out of the darkness and collapsed. At the same time, Franz Neumann’s scream rang out on the other side.
Pajijijijik!
“aaagh!”
It was electrocuted.

Naturally, Franz Neumann found it difficult to stay still. As the pain-filled struggle continued, the sensor activated and activated the trap on the opposite side of Walter Schmitz.
Jiji Jiji Jik—!
“Ahhh—!”
They continued to activate each other’s traps.
Their screams echoed through the large tiled room.
“You’d better kill me! Kill me!”
“Ahhh—!”
The moment they moved even a little, the electricity came and went as if they were continuously jabbing their bodies.
For a long time, I watched the two people suffer.
Then the switch was flipped again.
click—
The electric shock stopped as a light came on over the two of them.
“Ugh… … .”
“Ugh—”
Simon, who had been watching the two of them in the dark, spoke again.
“If I flip the switch this time, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? If not bad, in a few days? it could be next week what… I’m thinking of coming back when I’m not busy. What do you think?”
“Keugh—!”
“Or try to die by sticking your nose in the dish water.”
The water splashing on the two of them was only a little over 1cm at most.
Of course, it’s not impossible as long as you’re prepared, but it was questionable whether the two of them would have that much of a heart after they’d tasted a break once.

“You think you can learn something from us by doing this? you guys are here The organization will find you somehow! You probably don’t think that the number of people in the warehouse is everything!”
Walter Schmitz let go of his threats and glared at Simon and Jack in the dark. It wasn’t exactly visible, but I was able to guess its location from the sound. And Simon didn’t really respond.
I looked at them quietly and told them.
“Then pray.”
“… what?”
“Pray your men will find you soon.”
click—
Silence reigned as the lights went out again. I couldn’t even move my lips if I didn’t want to suffer.
Meanwhile, Simon got up from his seat.
“Pray hard in the dark. let’s go.”
that buck that buck
Simon and Jack went outside. The surroundings were forests.
Jack, who was standing in the back, asked a little worried.
“You don’t have to find out anything?”
“I won’t say anything anyway.”
“Then why did you do that?”
“They are all the same. Then you should treat them the same.”
Simon took out the cell phone he had found among Walter Schmitz and Franz Neumann’s belongings.
He also told Kang Su and Gong Chi-young about the cell phone message encryption code in advance. Of course, it was turned off now to avoid tracking.
“What is there? When I looked at it, it was full of strange things.”
Jack did not understand the contents of the phone because he did not know about the passcode.
In the meantime, Simon called Kang-soo.

Horyuji Kamikura was in a hotel room in Seoul, looking at data on a tablet.
In the meantime, a vibration sounded from the desk.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
There was only one cell phone kept on the desk.
Kamikura Horyuji, whose expression hardened, approached the desk and took out a cell phone from the drawer. When I saw the name on the screen, I frowned.
「Presbyter Five」
Click, t-
When the call button was pressed, the old man spoke in German over the handset.
[This is bad news.]
It was Kurt Herringen, the five elders of Bluton Reform.
Horyuji Kamikura’s expression darkened even more.
“what?”
[They did get caught in Bydgoszcz’s trap.]
“The nuance you’re talking about now means you’ve failed.”
[You got it right. Schmitz and Neumann were kidnapped.]
bang-
Annoyed, Horyuji Kamikura hit the desk with his fist.
The sound was sufficiently transmitted over the receiver.
[Uh-huh— is that all my fault? Wouldn’t this have happened if it had been killed rather than captured in the first place? I have to grab it… … .]
“Shouldn’t we find out who the forces behind it are! They are not normal! That’s why I told you to be fully prepared!”
Even the same elders had different opinions.
Same with Horyuji Kamikura and Kurt Herringen. The factions based on beliefs were the same, but their thoughts diverged on this matter.
[It’s been months since the Champs Elysées were robbed! Are you waiting for a thousand days? They even came in disguised as PGE.]
“Isn’t there any data that you confirmed when you invaded? trace? There must be something left!”
Silence flows over the receiver.
[Nothing was recorded. However, none of the people whose faces were compared with those who passed through the airport or border were found. Besides, the car they were riding in exploded, and there was nothing left.]
“You mean you didn’t get anything?”
It was a tone that seemed pathetic.
When Kurt Herringen heard that, his voice rose a little.
[Do it in moderation! From what I heard, things went a little wrong on the cloud tech side, but are you just messing around without thinking about your mistakes?]
Kamikura Horyuji’s brow furrowed at the provocation with restraint.
“… It must have nothing to do with you.”
[Is it good to do that in moderation?]
The profits Kamikura Horyuji made from this Cloud Tech operation were staggering. Having even secured the management rights of the company, it was amazing.
Even so, the slightest mistake hurt Horyuji Kamikura’s pride.
“Heh-huh—Did someone like that cause the organization to stumble with a ridiculous plan called the DGI Project and get kicked out of that position?”
[…] You probably don’t know that most of the early agents were made for that project.]
“Aren’t there not many agents left now? Besides, Elder O, you are now just a shelter manager.”
Kurt Herringen was quiet for a while before speaking.
[I’ve been working on the kidnapped Schmitz and Neuman’s equipment separately, so I’ll take action if I get caught.]
“You unexpectedly played a trick.”
pop-
After that, the call ended without a word. Kamikura Horyuji looked at his cellphone once, opened it wide as if loosening his chin, then closed it.
“Cheers are . . . … .”

Jinyeon Group headquarters.
In the underground parking lot, Kang-soo was sitting in the car talking to Simon on the phone.
[I got the two of them. When the time is right, I’ll finish the processing and go back.]
“You worked hard. Did you have any problems?”
Simon answered indifferently to Kangsu’s worries.
[It was almost dangerous because of a guy like Mudepo, but well— I was able to handle it neatly.]
“He’s a bit like that.”
[Ah— the data in the cell phone has been transferred to the place you said. It was also full of password codes that were difficult to understand.]
At those words, Kang-soo nodded.
Because it was expected enough.
“That’s fortunate. When do you think the work will be finished?”
[I’m looking at you for a week. Considering the size of them, the post-processing has to be neat.]
“Did you check what happened to the distribution center?”
[When I checked it, I realized that I only dug a trap properly. Right after we left, the police came and took all the fallen people away, but I think the administrative agency there is also involved. Guns were fired so wildly, but no guys went into the police station?]
Simon’s voice sounded genuinely exhilarated.
Of course, Kang also understood the situation. In a way, the fact that Simon entered disguised as PEG was a godsend.
“Will you be all right when you leave Poland?”
[Don’t worry about that, I think you can use Jack’s route to Poland in reverse. A guy who lacks brains works just fine with that kind of instinct.]
[Who is lacking!]
It seemed that Jack was doing something beside him. Hearing Jack’s angry voice, Kangsu laughed slightly while holding his phone.
“You seem to be breathing well.”
[It fits well—it was a headache to dodge and attack while fighting in the warehouse.]
Jack added without losing a word.
[I also needlessly strained to avoid them.]
Kang-soo thought it wasn’t bad this time either. Then Simon asked a question.
[Where can I go after this job? Is there anywhere else to check?]
“If you keep digging traps even after a long period of time, even if other coordinates come out, it will be more dangerous than now.”
[Well, looking at what I prepared in advance this time… . If I hadn’t been vigilant there, it would have been really big.]
If it hadn’t been for the disguise, the fact that the lights in the warehouse were turned off, and the equipment that Jack had brought with him, he might have been caught or killed.
“You can use a route that will not be tracked and enter after confusing it.”
Then Jack’s question flew in from the side.
[Cap! How do I?]
“you? you should do what you used to do Thanks to you, it has been very helpful in this work.”
Kang-soo was sincerely grateful to Jack, who worked hard after receiving a call from him after a long time.
But Jack asked in a low voice.
[Can’t I work with Cap too?]
“what-? Aren’t you busy?”
[I’m not busy.]
Jack, like Simon, was a freelance mercenary. The skill was also good, so it moved at a fairly high price.
That’s why Kangsoo deliberately paid him generously while working on him.
