“Hey, hey! Rain! What are you holding?”

“Can’t you see it? It’s a gun. I have the blueprints and I know where it is, so I have to go right now.”

“No… I know the location, so why are you carrying a gun?”

Sonagi, who was shoving a lot of guns into her black bag, did not understand Jihoon’s words.

Heist, which is what it means in Korean, is about to rob a bank, but you don’t want to bring a gun? Sonagi can’t understand it at all, so he stops his hands for the time being, but makes a face full of discomfort.

“There’s no need to carry a gun.”

“You… Are you on electronic drugs or something? What are you talking about, seriously? If we go to a bank and ask the server to guide us, the employees there are stupid and will guide us?”

“That’s it.”

Sonagi snorts in disbelief at Jihoon’s answer. She really needs to get her gun ready. Feeling no value in answering, Sonagi quickly moves her hands to disassemble the gun, check the magazine, and start filling her precious bag.

The number of guns taken was large and the types were diverse. It was a situation where a bank robbery would not end in an instant, so Sonagi tried his best to prepare…

“Hey, hey… I’m not talking nonsense. Think about it. You know the structure of the bank and where the servers are. Can’t you just pretend to be a security company and go in?”

“What… Really…”

Dogshit…

Sonagi didn’t finish speaking, but just glanced at him and stopped his hand. It was a sweet story. Sonagi always solved everything with guns and violence, but if there was a way to solve it without shedding a drop of blood, then of course she was interested.

Who in the world would shoot someone to death if they were offered ten million won in their pocket?

“If you want to convince me, explain in more detail. And are you kidding me about the security company? Even if the branch manager is a hotshot, it’s the central bank. The security team sent by Lucky Venus will definitely be standing there with guns.”

“…Fuck… Then you should go in and say you’re the repair team. Just lie and say you came because you received a report of a network problem. ”

“Do you think that will work?”

Sonagi’s expression was crumpled, but Jihoon’s face was full of confidence, so she couldn’t get too angry.

“They don’t even install security programs on the branch manager’s brain chip. Even if you call them a security team, they’re probably just stupid guys with guns. If we go and say something difficult, they’ll probably fall for it, right?”

“No matter what… No… They’re definitely stupid… .”

“Ugh,” Sonagi lets out a sigh and begins to put the gun back in his bag.

There were a few black assault rifles, and some machine guns that had a unicorn painted on them, which was a crazy guy’s taste.

It doesn’t end with guns, but there are also bombs that spurt electricity, flash grenades, and finally hand grenades…

“Let’s do as you said. I think it’ll be enough to lie that I have the things I need for repairs, and I’ll ask Grandma Ha for things like ID cards and clothes.”

“What the… I thought you were just going to ignore me and start a fight.”

“Do you think I’ve only done this once or twice as a problem solver in Incheon? If I can sit down and blow my nose, I should.”

Sonagi, who had packed enough things, smiled and slapped her bag with her hand.

“Make no mistake. If you don’t succeed the first time, you and I will have to use every gun in this bag.

* * *

Ji-hoon’s face in the rearview mirror looked pretty good.

That doesn’t mean he was objectively handsome. He just looked quite intellectual, wearing a black long-brimmed hat, a black jacket, and a slightly tight-fitting white dress shirt.

Around his waist was a belt with unidentifiable tools and implements hanging from it, and on his back was a large black bag that Sonagi had given him.

He was wearing jeans that didn’t match his dress shirt very well. It gave off a strange feeling because it gave the impression that he was someone who was rolling around on set.

“Where did you get all this stuff in less than an hour?”

“Originally, heists often involve disguises or deception.”

“Are you the type that just kills everyone without thinking? Last time, instead of talking to the family members, you just…”

“Are you saying this because you want to die once?”

Sonagi, who is wearing the same clothes as Jihoon, hits Jihoon on the back with her hand for no reason!

In her right hand she held a black bag full of guns. Sonagi chose Jihoon’s method as the safest and least troublesome method.

So the two of them were dressed as ‘repair shops’ from Neo Seoul. On the other hand, there was a possibility that their identities would be revealed in the worst case scenario, so Sonagi took a gun as a last resort. Jihoon’s bag was full of tools used by ‘repair shops’, so it was easy to deceive them.

“Hey… Still, since it’s a central bank, it feels different. There’s no neon sign here, just one big light.”

“Some people see it and say it’s not funny.”

Sonagi answers appropriately and moves first to head to the Central Bank of Incheon. Because it was a dark night, he could not enter through the main gate.

Ji-hoon and So-na-gi naturally headed toward the back door of the bank instead of the tightly closed iron gate. Since it was a gate that employees used when coming and going from work, there were two people standing near it.

There were two big, muscular men standing there, wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, and holding huge shotguns.

“Sonagi. You said cyberware implants. How much do they cost? Hundreds of thousands of won each?”

“Cheap ones are like that. If you have eye implants that have the same function as glasses, you can get them for less than a million won.”

“Then what about those guys over there who have cyberware implants all over their arms and legs?”

“How much would that body cost? At least tens of millions of won.”

Ji-hoon approaches the security guard while talking to Sonagi. Their size is so good that Ji-hoon, who is definitely not short, feels like a dwarf.

“What’s going on?”

The security guard’s voice was low, almost a little threatening.

“Didn’t you get a call?”

Ji-hoon decided to fool the person. He lifted the ID card hanging around his neck and shook it gently. The security guard glanced at the card and snorted indifferently, as he obviously hadn’t heard the story.

Ji-hoon fiddled with the tip of his hat with his hand because he had heard that the ID card that Grandma had given him and the uniform of the repair shop were effective.

“Ha.. Seriously, this is a serious situation, but you can’t even listen…”

“If you’re thinking of doing something stupid, get out.”

“Shut up. You. Can’t you see this outfit? We are the repair team from Lucky Venus. We came here because there was a problem with our company’s product.”

“…”

‘Lucky Venus’

Ji-hoon doesn’t know what kind of company this is, but the eye implants of the family members and the brain chip of the branch manager were made by ‘Lucky Venus’.

If that’s the case, then it must be a fairly famous company. As Ji-hoon thought, the name ‘Lucky Venus’ was printed on his ID card, so he had lied shamelessly.

The security guard seems to be quite concerned about Ji-hoon’s words as he puts his thumb on his head and presses it. He clicks his tongue and shrugs his shoulders before looking to the side.

“Senior. Have you heard the story?”

“There isn’t any.”

“They say there isn’t any. Go back. We’re not doing this because we like it. People from the same company shouldn’t do this.”

“No, you know that since you’re from the same company, right? The higher-ups are probably going to be really annoying.”

Ji-hoon points at his bag with his hand for no reason.

“What are we going to do when they’re making a big fuss upstairs that the server inside seems to have been hacked? We have to go in and check the situation.”

“That..”

The security guard wanted to say something, but he was also worried. There was no story from upstairs.

There was no contact from downstairs. The branch manager who was kidnapped by Ji-hoon and Sonagi was a lazy woman who only worked during business hours.

The problem is Ji-hoon’s words. The server inside is a vault full of money. It’s not physical money, but it’s a place where tens of millions of won worth of electronic money are stored.

If that server gets hacked, it means billions of dollars could disappear in a second.

“..I think I need to check it out, senior.”

“Ha… What the hell, what the hell is the repair team doing..”

The security guard, who was called Senior, shrugged his shoulders once and lowered the red sunglasses he was wearing. His eyes naturally scanned Sonagi and Jihoon’s ID cards.

He examines the scan results for a long time. The ID card that Grandma Ha prepared was perfect, so there really was information. The two guards are amazed at the fact that the two men and women are a repair team working at Lucky Venus’ headquarters and that they really went out.

The appearance of the two is not a mystery, but basically, you can’t just let people you don’t know into the bank.

“Excuse me, gentlemen. If you just keep standing here, you might lose all your money. Aren’t you wasting too much time?”

“…Phew.”

The guard swallowed hard. He couldn’t open the door as he pleased. It was obvious that he was watching the guard’s expression, who was called his senior.

Sonagi smiles slightly, as if she intends to end this situation lightly.

“Misters, are you guys from the security team? It seems like you don’t know that we’re coming, but you don’t know anything else either.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Hey, branch manager. There’s a huge rumor going around that you were kidnapped this evening…”

The rain shower swallows her words with a seductive smile. The two guards are now blatantly embarrassed.

“You, contact the branch manager quickly. If it’s nonsense, then complain to the repair team properly later…”

“Seo, senior. The branch manager is not answering your calls. He is also offline from the network.”

“What the fuck…”

The security guard, who was called Senior, rubbed his shaved head hard with his palm. He clicked his tongue openly, tsk, tsk, because he had to take some responsibility for the safety of the branch manager as well as the bank.

Then he opens a small door, goes inside, grabs a few things, and points to his junior, Sonagi, and Jihoon.

“You, Inma. Go to the server room with the repair team right now and find out what the hell is going on! I’m going to go check on the branch manager… that motherfucker. ”

He jumped on a nearby, sleek motorcycle, started it up, and quickly rode away in front of the three.

“Miss…”

The remaining guard scratched his head, clicked his tongue, and turned around. The tightly closed door of the bank had finally opened.

“Okay.. Then..”

Ji-hoon takes out his smartphone and touches it before going inside. It was clear that the small door that the senior security guard had entered was the security office. There was a computer in the security office, and it must have stored the recorded files from the CCTV…

‘First, stop the CCTVs… and erase half a day’s worth of data… that would be good.’

It was too easy to plant a program on a lightly hacked computer without even checking ICE’s security clearance. Sonagi glanced at Ji-hoon’s fingers and gave him a thumbs up as if he did a good job.

“Where the hell are you guys from? The repair team that came last time were acting like shit.”

“You and I are a bit different. But don’t we have to do our work?”

As Ji-hoon whines, the security guard clicks his tongue and places his palm on the door in front of him.

-Beep, beep, beep!

The door opened with a crisp sound. A cold wind blew out of the room, and when I looked at the giant server in front of me, I could see why the wind was blowing out so cold that it was almost freezing my skin.

The room is filled with not one, not two, but five black, rectangular lumps, or at least that’s what they look like to Ji-hoon’s eyes.

The only good thing was that the five were actually one server, so Ji-hoon didn’t have to struggle five times to upload the program.

“How about it?”

Sonagi glances at him. Jihoon takes out his smartphone and taps the screen a few times.

“ICE… is not there. How can this be?”

“There’s no need to create ICE. This is a closed network. You have to come in here to access the server’s network, and the old man with the big bucks here is guarding the bank well, so why bother?”

“I see…”

But isn’t it too careless to have a server with hundreds of millions of won in it? Ji-hoon feels uneasy, but touches the screen.

[Would you like to upload the program?]

《Dream Laundry. Ver12.14.2523》

“The name is… old.”

The moment Ji-Hoon’s finger touches ‘Y’, various phrases start to appear on the screen.

Files with unknown names were being uploaded in an instant, and conversely, files with numbers listed were being downloaded.

“Oh… It’s going well.”

Sonagi smiled and patted Jihoon on the butt. It seemed like she was praising an elementary school student, but to Jihoon, it wasn’t a bad skinship.

“What should we do first when we go to Neo Seoul? Should we start with a date? Or should we start by looking for a house? We’re not going to Neo Seoul to work, we’re going to live there.”

“Yeah, you need a house. Should I start with a studio? How much can I get? The house price seems really expensive.”

“Of course.. it’s more expensive than the house I live in now, but if I’m going to live with you, it would be nice to have two rooms…”

Sonagi and Jihoon were openly mumbling something, but the security guard didn’t care. He was just hoping that this fucking situation would end without incident.

The lights in the server room go out, as if mocking the three people’s different thoughts.

“Uh…”

“What is it?”

“What is this? ”

At the guard’s words, Sonagi quickly reaches for the gun on her waist.

[Warning. Warning. An unauthorized program has been uploaded to the server. The administrator on site should immediately-]

“Fuck!!”

As soon as the robotic voice was heard, Sonagi’s hand went up. The security guard with a good body also raised his hand, but Sonagi was faster.

bang!!

A huge man’s body collapses near the door with a sound that hurts the eardrums. The body that cost tens of millions of won to build ends in vain the moment a bullet hits the head.

“Hey.. Kim Ji-hoon, we’re screwed right now. How long has it been! You have to get out now!”

As Sonagi shouted, Jihoon nodded and smiled. He showed me his smartphone.
