episode_0229

We left the airport with A-list hero Nguyen, a young man full of will to do something to change the country, but still innocent.

“The vehicle prepared is….”

“There would have been surveillance. There is no need to approach at all.”

Nguyen instantly became sullen.

“Sorry. I think I did the best I could locally…”

“There is no need to be sorry. This is all experience and something you just have to learn. Aren’t you an expert in exterminating villains, not an intelligence specialist?”

If we were to compare Nguyen to Korea’s S-class, he would be similar to Lee Jun-young of ‘The God of Fighting’.

A person who has a great sense of justice and is good at using his body, but because his actions are messy and young, he cannot clearly see the dark parts of the world.

If such a person recognizes the darkness of reality and seeks to brighten that darkness with light, he will become a man of the same level as ‘Gwangikgong’ – capable of enforcing justice against a nation.

Of course, there will be great mental stress and trials to get there.

No matter how much the organization decides to help, it is difficult for anyone to face the darkness that is deeply rooted in their country.

“Oppa. It looks like I’m going to catch a taxi with a van. What should I do?”

“You should also use a taxi as usual. Before that, Nguyen. I need to cover your face.”

I flicked the black long umbrella I was holding at Nguyen.

“This is…?”

“It is a disguise tool. We can just keep going like this, but you are the hero of this country.”

“… Is this the bast face mask or something I’ve only heard about? ”

“Yes.”

Although it is ectoplasm created using mana.

“…Can I do this?”

“It’s perfect. Oh, I have one favor to ask.”

“What is it?”

“Would you like to smile while taking this pose?”

I made a V shape with my hands and placed it under my lips.

“…Like this?”

Nguyen grinned, revealing his white teeth.

It is perfect.

As expected, the image I created according to my memory was correct.

“Oppa. Who is this?”

“I just made one like an ordinary handsome Vietnamese person.”

“Vietnam….”

Nguyen laughed bitterly at the word Vietnam.

“It’s a great place in many ways.”

Even Nguyen, who despaired of the situation in Thailand and asked for help, laughs bitterly at himself at the word Vietnam.

“I don’t know if it’s right to say that past history was compensated in that way, but…”

If I ever go to ‘former Vietnam’, I will have to talk about it in detail.

Simply put, there is no Vietnam in this world.

After securing a large number of talented people faster than any other country through special international marriage policies, there is a place that changed its system to the ‘Vietnam Special Self-Governing State’ under the Republic of Korea.

Are you saying this is too much?

therefore.

But that is the current international situation after the cataclysm.

Weak countries disappear one by one and are annexed by neighboring countries, and those with A-level or higher abilities are at the forefront of this annexation.

Because the people are hoping for it.

If there is one A-level person next to a country where C-level is the largest output, they will either immigrate to that A-level country or demand national annexation.

Vietnam was the first country outside the Korean Peninsula to be annexed by South Korea.

They asked us to walk together, overcoming the painful history before the cataclysm, and as Korea, we also brought our country with us, so there was no reason to refuse.

Some people mock them as ‘second-class Koreans’ or ‘Koreans from the Outer Peninsula’, but they still maintain their identity as Vietnamese, only their affiliation has changed.

Under the pyramid of the Korean Wave spreading across the world, Vietnam occupies the top floor.

“If you’re ready, get on right away. Because they’re coming over there to steal the guide.”

Hye-ra Yoon, who had succeeded in recruiting the taxi driver, called us.

Nguyen had trouble deciding where to get into the sedan taxi with the ‘H’ mark proudly displayed on the front, but I pointed him to the back seat.

“Get behind the driver’s seat. I ride in the passenger seat.”

“Yes? Ha, but I…”

“Watch quietly from behind.”

“…Yes!”

Nguyen opened the car door and went inside, and I closed the door after Yoon Hye-ra got in and went into the passenger seat.

“Welcome.”

“Are you fluent in Korean?”

“Hehe. These days, even taxi drivers can’t get a license if they don’t speak Korean.”

The middle-aged man lifted his sunglasses and grinned.

As expected, there was no smell of cigarette smoke in her car, probably because Yoon Hye-ra was looking for taxis from one taxi to another.

“Do you like cilantro?”

“I can’t live without it. These days, because the government is controlling cilantro, finding cilantro is more difficult than finding honey butter potato chips. Have you come to eat rice noodles? There is a place where friends who came over from Vietnam have settled, and there is a restaurant there that serves amazing pho. That friend grows cilantro at home, so he can add plenty of it.”

“Please let me know later. For now…”

I pointed to a huge van driving ahead.

“Please chase that car.”

“Oh… I felt it from the moment the lady said something, but was there something?”

“Yes. I will pay you generously.”

“Oh, conservatives are also conservatives.”

The taxi driver pulled the gear as if racing, then immediately pulled the car parked on the side of the road and followed behind the van.

“I can’t stand undercover reporting again. I used to be a reporter for a while.”

“…….”

“If it appears on broadcast, please still make a mosaic. Oh, where is the broadcasting station?”

“That is.”

I grabbed the small camcorder that Hye-ra Yoon gave me from behind in one hand and aimed it at the van.

“This is the VJ notebook.”

* * *

That time.

“Heung, heung heung.”

Inside a large room in a luxurious luxury home.

A young man wearing only a Hawaiian shirt, swim shorts, and slippers smiled slightly at the food on the table.

“Ha. This fragrant smell of coriander.”

On top of the rice noodles in a white ceramic bowl, there was enough coriander to cover the noodles and soup.

Crack.

Laplace chewed the raw cilantro with his chopsticks.

To others, it looked like a rabbit chewing grass, but Laplace was chewing the coriander that had been slightly warmed by the heat of the rice noodles, savoring the taste and aroma.

“Let’s see, the farm is….”

Laplace moved the tablet next to the rice noodles back and forth.

The screen on the tablet was like a game where you had to manage an island, and various data were changing in real time.

“Mr. what. Some idiot imported Chinese products.”

Inside the tablet, several men’s profiles appeared in a small pop-up window.

“Damn. When was your passport renewed and are you still using last year’s passport? Passport mismatch. Please, if you’re going to forge, bring a proper passport.”

Hold.

Laplace clicked the red stamp on the newly popped up window.

Soon, a red stamp saying ‘Gosu Island’ was stamped on their passports.

“I cannot forgive those who dare to pollute my farm. Go to ‘God’s Rest’ and contribute to the country’s coriander production. huh? You even want me to give it a name? Mr. Ha. Let’s see…. Okay. He is seventy-four years old. This is Wang Yuk-gu. done. End.”

After giving the presumed person a rough last name and a number, Laplace turned his attention again to the rice noodles filled with coriander.

“Hehehe. Nguyen, if we send that person to the island, what should his name be? Park Ong-il? Oh, I can’t do that. Then it seems like a very Korean name. It gets annoying when there’s a fight for no reason…”

“Laplace. I have something to report to you.”

A woman in a suit approached Laplace, who had just put rice noodles into his mouth.

“Secretary. What is it?”

“I missed it.”

“…What?”

Laplace frowned and put down his chopsticks.

“You missed it. Did I hear it wrong?”

“No. You heard it right. Nguyen….”

“Did you miss that?”

Phew!

“It was a golden opportunity to follow in Lee Mae-mangryang’s footsteps, but I missed it!!”

“Sorry, sorry…!”

Laplace kicked the black suit agent’s knee with his slipper and huffed, fluttering his Hawaiian shirt.

“We tried to get him to move through the Deputy Prime Minister’s family, but what are we going to do now!”

“Oh, rest assured. The memorandum handed over by the bereaved family is a well-made fake, and the people recorded in it are just people we want to oust later…”

“That’s not important! The important thing is imaemangyang! I’m looking for a solution!”

Laplace slammed his hand loudly on the table.

“The desperate agent must be captured! Only then will you be able to organize and negotiate with them! Don’t let Nguyen or other crazy people be the leaders you ‘choose’ in the organization for no reason!”

“Ha, but the association is an evil organization…”

“Who defined them as evil?”

Laplace took his chopsticks and aimed them at the secretary’s neck.

“They are villains, but they are not villains. They are crazy people who have no spirit of partnership with those who commit ‘evil’ acts. They are idiots who commit evil acts while claiming to act for social justice as they please.”

“…….”

“If they mess with this country, will they really try to join hands with us? no. These guys won’t tolerate anything like this.”

Laplace took a pinch of the powder contained in the white pottery with his hand.

“Tsk. What kind of villains are these people who don’t even know the taste of mana powder?”

Yes.

Laplace chewed a large bowl of rice noodles sprinkled with white powder and garnished with cilantro.

“Tell it to the military. Check all those coming in on Korean planes. If there is no one who acts in accordance with the purpose, they are agents of death.”

When Laplace spread his hand to the side, the large screen on the wall instantly began to display CCTV footage from all over Thailand.

“Take the organization’s agents hostage and bring out the organization’s executives. Do you understand, ‘Hyangdan’?”

“…Yes.”

Agent and Hyangdan bowed and took a step back.

“Hehe. Just try to get caught, do your best…”

Laplace held his left shoulder with his hand and chuckled.

“I will definitely repay you for this pain…!”

* * *

Sigh.

The taxi stopped.

“Oh, not here. PDs, just go back. If anyone says anything, say that I introduced this restaurant to you and go straight to your accommodation.”

The taxi stopped in the parking lot of a nearby restaurant and pointed across the road with a stern expression.

“You can’t go there.”

“Why are you doing that?”

Nguyen, who was behind him, stuck his head forward.

“What is that over there….”

“I don’t know? Ha, damn it. Over there. This is where you enter the island called ‘God’s haven’.”

“…Get off. Thank you for your hard work, driver.”

I handed the driver a bundle of money and shook his hand.

“I will do as you say, would you like to have a meal with me? If you are uncomfortable sitting together, we will prepare a separate table and serve you a meal.”

“No, it’s dangerous…. Huh?”

“I will take responsibility for your safety.”

When I saw a black flame in the corner of my eye, the taxi driver opened his eyes wide and swallowed his appetite.

“A person with special abilities…! this this. I think it will be a bigger incident than I thought…!”

“Like the driver said, we will eat here and then return to the hotel. Instead, would you like to tell me a story? What the driver and reporter know.”

The best way to get information is to get it from locals.

“Over there, the island that is said to be God’s resting place.”
