Episode 182. Parasite (2)
Shane glanced around. Horyuji Kamikura and ten other men surrounded him.
Even during the conversation, I kept peeping at the gaps.
Kamikura Horyuji, who noticed that, said.
“Do you know who made you and Cerberus like that?”
“… You mean the NIS?”
“Ohh—you knew that?”
“fight… I found out.”
During the battle in the hills, I saw the NIS mark on the radios of the crew members.
On the other hand, Horyuji Kamikura found out because the NIS was monitoring Jennifer Han and the Korean branch of Ten Tsubasa International.
“How about doing business with me?”
“What deal?”
“If you want to avenge your comrades, I will help. How about being mine instead?”
“Are you telling me to betray Elder Oh?”
Shane’s mood grew heavy.
Kamikura Horyuji’s men standing around them hurriedly tensed and took their stance.
gulp-
Cerberus’ Shane was famous even among them. Even now, it was unclear whether they could stop Shane on their own.
In the meantime, Kamikura Horyuji stamped the floor once with his cane.
widely-!
A sound echoed from the floor into the dark surroundings.
Kamikura Horyuji met eyes with Shane, who was terrifyingly turning around.
“How can you call that a betrayal? After all, aren’t they all just in the same fence? What— if you think about it easily… You can think of it as a voluntary personnel transfer.”
“Do you think that makes sense?”
“Or maybe dying here is the way to go.”
If your body is in good shape, you will definitely win.
But now Shane couldn’t move one arm at all. Even now, the blood dripping from Shane’s arm onto the floor soaked the floor.
“instead… I will give you one piece of information.”
“information?”
“It’s not just the NIS involved in this edition.”
Originally, it was the first thing to report to Kurt Herringen, the five elders.
Shane also took out the hand because he judged that the situation was not good.
“As you said, if it weren’t for the NIS—”
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
A vibration echoed from the man standing next to Kamikura Horyuji.
The man took out his cell phone to check, then handed it to Kamikura Horyuji. It was a call from Lester Ramos, the Three Elders.
“Finish. You got the right call.”
As soon as he blinked, the subordinates around him retreated a little more. After that, Kamikura Horyuji pressed the call button on his cell phone.
I heard Lester Ramos’ voice.
[I hear Elder Oh’s hounds came to Korea and caused a stir, did you know?]
At that question, Kamikura Horyuji’s gaze lingered on Shane for a moment.
“I just checked.”
[After being confined to the monastery, he finally went crazy. Where is this place!]
“so. Any information about what you requested last time?”
When asked for the main topic, Lester Ramos stayed quiet for a while before speaking.
[I just found out and contacted you.]
“say it.”
[It seems that the National Intelligence Service’s domestic part crisis management room is secretly moving personnel. And it is said that it is certain that Jennifer Han and Ten Tsubasa International’s Korean branch were assigned agents there.]
“The Crisis Management Office… … ?”
[It’s a counterintelligence agency. I can’t figure out how they smelled of us there.]
Kamikura Horyuji’s expression became subtle.
“It seems that the NIS side did not go that deep.”
[It’s not another country’s intelligence agency. If it was easy, would you have suffered so much?]
In order to infiltrate any place, thorough identity washing was required. Among them, the intelligence agency was more thorough than any other place, so it had to spend a considerable amount of time and effort to have a high chance of success.
“So, is there any other information?”
[However, there is a gap in the NIS movement. Given the circumstances, it doesn’t seem like the NIS killed Cerberus. In addition, the search and investigation of the fugitives was transferred to another place to see if there was a mistake during this work.]
“… Are you saying that other places may have been involved?”
What Shane said earlier was proven.
In the meantime, Lester Ramos’ explanation follows.
[For now, the estimate is like that. It seems that the NIS still can’t figure out where it is.]
“Uhm… Got it. If so, how many people this time—”
pop-
The call just cut off.
“Big, tempered… … .”
Kamikura Horyuji said that and looked at Shane.
“You are right. Behind the scenes other than the NIS… … .”
“I don’t know how big it is right now, but the guy who fought me is not normal. Because you made me do this.”
With those words, Shane raised his left arm with difficulty.
At the same time, Kamikura Horyuji was startled.
“… You said that because you fought with one person?”
“Me and Luke faced each other. And Luke sacrificed himself to help me escape.”
“… escape?”
Kamikura Horyuji couldn’t believe it.
“Obviously better than me… It was strong.”
“But you are not a beta. But how— I wouldn’t have fought Beta’s Unus or Duo.”
“Where did that guy come from…? I don’t know either.”
Kamikura Horyuji’s expression became subtle at Shane’s helpless expression.
“Any other clues?”
“He was more pro at guerrilla warfare than anyone I’ve ever met. Even when he ran away, it was possible because he showed a momentary gap.”
“Hmm—if you were dangerous, you would have been known.”
To Kamikura Horyuji’s sigh, Shane added his words.
“For now, that’s all I can say.”
“Okay. I’ll have to treat your arm first. I’ll take you to the hospital where you won’t be pursued. Won’t you refuse that too?”
At his suggestion, Shane nodded.

Inside Teresa’s secret room, Jack punched the wall.
bang-!
The trembling of the wall was transmitted to the floor at the heavy impact. Even in such a situation, Kang Soo Na, Gong Chi Young, Teresa, and Simon, who were sitting around, did not say anything.
“sh*t! How Cap’s Mom!”
It was because Kangsu explained why he was chasing Bluton Reform.
Simon, who was sitting next to him, also had a serious expression like Jack.
After a moment of silence, Simon opened his mouth.
“If you say Kang-soo, you mean that children born to a certain mother are the result?”
“you’re right.”
“The white-haired man who fought with you in the hills is then one of the children has grown up.”
“At first, it seemed that they misunderstood me as a beta. I just called the beta a failure.”
“beta? clinker?”
It was a word that only raised questions.
Besides, even though Simon and Jack listened to Kang-su’s explanation, they felt that the DGI Project was futile.
“Besides, after trying to stick with me, he asked if I was an alpha and became serious. And beta and alpha. It’s like a grade or something.”
Everyone also heard that precipitation was included in the experiment. So I couldn’t open my mouth easily.
The reason Kangsu explained about himself was simple. It was because he had fought Shane and missed it.
Of course, I believe in the skills of my colleagues, but when Shane demonstrates his power, his power is different. If you encounter it without knowing it, your life could be in danger.
“Your skin turns red… . Kangsu, don’t you have those side effects?”
“doesn’t exist. I don’t even know if all the other betas or alphas have that side effect. If you think about what the white hair said in the hills, Alpha is considered to be non-existent.”
Kangsu recalled in his mind what Shane, the white-haired man, had said.
“You guys can’t be… ! Alpha? oh, that can’t be! Alpha can’t exist!”
Meanwhile, Jack calmed his excitement and looked at Kang-soo.
“Were you very strong?”
“Pretty. No matter who you fight, you’d better not be vigilant. Well—everybody knows how to do it.”
Simon, Theresa, and Jack.
In all battles, he was a veteran among veterans. Still, death is something that can be faced in an instant, so you need to be careful.
While saying that, Gong Chi-yeong, who had been silent for a while, opened her mouth.
“I’m sorry to interrupt you because everyone seems to be having a hard time outside, but I think we should take a look at this first.”
“What?”
Gong Chi-young displayed something on the screen that filled one wall of the secret room.
It was a map of the world. There, red dots were stamped one by one, and a few places were packed.
“France and Poland. And I extracted and displayed only the part where the location was recorded from the cell phone messages of the guys I stole from Yasan in Siheung earlier.”
As for the red dot, no matter how small it was, it easily exceeded a hundred.
When all the dots were displayed, Gong Chi-young tapped the keyboard and hit enter at the end.
This time the blue dots were stamped. Then, a line came out from each dot, unfolding one by one in the shape of a post-it and settling on the screen.
This time, unlike the first red dot, there were about 30 of them.
“This can’t be… … .”
“I converted the message’s sending date into a time period and matched it with events reported in the international news.”
Surprised, Simon said with his jaw hanging open.
“Are those incidents related to Bluton Reform?”
At such a question, Gong Chi-young raised his horn-rimmed glasses that covered half of his large face.
“There is a direct or indirect relationship. It’s almost like direct, but… … .”
Everyone’s eyes went to the contents that came to mind like Post-it notes on the screen.
Assassinations, explosions, accidents, etc… . At least one person, up to dozens of people died.
“They must be real f*cking bastards… … .”
Gong Chi-young gave an additional explanation to Kang-soo’s murmur.
“In most cases, the perpetrators were never caught. At least the culprit who was caught committed suicide.”
“I know very well how it is.”
It felt similar to the accident that my uncle Jin Gyu-yeon and his family almost suffered in Jeju Island.
Kangsu stared at the screen.
“Chiyoung-ah, can you organize the file by country and send it anonymously to the intelligence agencies of each country? To never be pursued.”
“That is not difficult. What are you thinking?”
“We’re not going to run in all directions. It’s impossible to go around smuggling all of them, and besides, we have to throw the right bait soon.”
I was talking about Ten Tsubasa International.
Everyone nodded their heads at that explanation.
“Don’t worry about the data. But what can intelligence agencies do with this? I don’t have anything to prove, but it’s not like they unlocked my cell phone.”
“Send the password code deciphering method as well.”
“what-? doesn’t that work? If they find out, they will change the password in the future.”
At Gong Chi-yeong’s questioning, who was taken aback, Kang-soo was calm.
To be honest, even if I didn’t change my password, I didn’t change it too much. I didn’t know that maybe it was proof that he was a deceased person.
“Anyway, they were robbed enough to be robbed. You must have sensed something was wrong.”
“I get what you mean, but why hand over the antidote to intelligence? It’s hard to get their passwords there.”
“In some cases, there are perpetrators who committed suicide. I don’t know if there are other places where I found my belongings. If each intelligence agency finds out about it, they will start investigating behind the scenes, even if it is not superficial.”
“ah-“
Along with Gong Chi-young, exclamations burst out as if Simon, Jack, and Teresa were gaining enlightenment.
