The Witch's Chapter (2)
The Supreme Conference Hall of China.
China, which had been competing with the United States for the top position, had been on a downward path since the appearance of the reincarnators.
All the reincarnators they had secured so far had either disappeared or gone into hiding because of the Heavenly Demon Cult.
"We should start a nuclear war instead!"
"We should wipe Korea off the map!"
"We cannot continue to take this lying down!"
Their excitement was natural.
The hegemon of Asia and one of the world's superpowers had been badly hit twice and yet had to apologize and even provide compensation.
And the most concerning promise remained.
There were two weeks left until the Chinese President's visit to Korea.
Officially, it was a summit meeting with the Korean President. But in reality, it was to visit the Heavenly Demon Cult headquarters.
The Chinese President had many concerns.
"Even if we launch nuclear weapons at Korea, is there any guarantee they will die?"
At his words, the audience fell silent.
It was natural for China to gather information about the Heavenly Demon Cult. Their movement sometimes used means like airplanes or cars, but most of the time it was teleportation.
"There is a way."
A young man sitting at the very end of the conference hall spoke up.
He was a person named Wang Su, gaunt in appearance with sharp eyes. He was a person who had risen through the military ranks and was famous as a hardliner.
"Speak."
"According to information from the Mages, teleportation also takes time. Theoretically, when it takes at least 3 seconds or more, if a bomb explodes right before their eyes, they cannot avoid it."
His words were persuasive.
However, for this to succeed, there was one condition.
"That means someone has to detonate it directly before their eyes."
"That is correct."
He was talking about suicide terrorism.
In a situation where there was no official war with Korea, this operation would be terrorism.
The Chinese government would be conducting terrorism directly.
This was not only reproachable but also a serious operation in terms of meaning.
"A half-hearted bomb will only worsen the situation."
Wang Su continued to speak confidently even before the executives who maintained their silence.
"If you just give permission, I will definitely succeed."
The President was in a burdensome situation.
Certainly, they wanted the Heavenly Demon Cult to disappear.
'If only the Heavenly Demon Cult disappears, we can recruit reincarnators again.'
Currently, even when recruiting the Security Force again, there were no applicants. It was because they were burdened by the Heavenly Demon Cult.
Rumors had already spread widely that the Security Force had been disbanded by the Heavenly Demon Cult.
'We must reclaim the top position.'
This was not a choice but a duty.
China, which had even been evaluated as ahead of the United States, had now become a laughingstock of the entire world.
"We cannot conduct terrorism."
The President came to a conclusion.
However, his eyes were looking at Wang Su.
Wang Su was calmly accepting the result, but then he saw the President's eyes and understood the meaning.
Bang!
Suddenly Wang Su struck the desk and stood up. And he took off the military uniform he was wearing.
"You cowards!"
He huffed and threw down his military uniform and left the conference hall.
Several people stood up in fury, but the President stopped them.
"It's an action that came from loyalty. It can happen."
At the President's words, which were different from usual, most understood the meaning.
And the meeting quietly resumed.
"The Ten Alliance has not disappeared but is hiding temporarily to gather strength. And when combining information from Hunter Hall, there are quite a few reincarnators who have not yet appeared. They are likely to be in groups."
It was the result of analysis by China's top talents.
"We must somehow establish good relations with them. Focus all of China's intelligence capabilities in that direction. We must also find the Ten Alliance and restore our previous relationship."
For them, this was the best breakthrough.
After that, the meeting ended while discussing various measures.
The place where everyone had left.
The President looked at the military uniform thrown on the desk. He had told them to leave it when they tried to clear it away.
He straightened out the disheveled military uniform and spread it out on the spot.
"You are worthy of this."
The President's eyes deepened.
A week later.
Mokpo Port.
One fishing boat pierced through the darkness and reached the coast.
That day, three illegal smuggling boats were caught by the Korean Coast Guard.
However, this was planned. It was all for the illegal entry of just one boat.
And five men got off that boat. They carefully unloaded items from the boat and loaded them onto a van.
The van disappeared onto the dark road as if nothing had happened.
Na Yuri was checking her email.
Chinese Government Report
She was receiving intelligence about the Chinese government through the United States.
It is understood that more than 500 intelligence agents have received long-term missions.
Na Yuri nodded. It was the response she had expected.
Other minor details were also written.
Na Yuri, who was judging them as unimportant and just passing over them, suddenly caught sight of one sentence.
Wang Su, who was an influential figure in the Chinese military, has been relieved of his position.
A soldier who held the rank of Lieutenant General had been abandoned by the state.
Given China's characteristics, this had happened several times, so it was an understandable part.
She searched the computer to find out about the person named Wang Su.
The fact that he was a hardliner and a person with deep trust was quickly revealed.
'Such a person was expelled?'
Na Yuri immediately made a phone call.
-Yes.
It was her intelligence agent in China.
A Hunter Hall graduate who was staying in China under mental domination. Though a reincarnator, he did not join the Security Force and was living as a company employee in China.
"Find out about Wang Su."
After hanging up the phone, Na Yuri looked at the calendar.
"One week before the Chinese President's visit."
Something felt uneasy.
"Grim Reaper."
The Grim Reaper revealed himself at her call.
"Go to the Chinese President."
The Grim Reaper nodded.
As the Grim Reaper, having received the order, was about to disappear again, Na Yuri frowned and said.
"Where is my brother who actually caused the trouble?"
-You caused even bigger trouble...
"Go!"
The Grim Reaper flinched and quickly hid himself.
Three days later.
On the news, an analysis of the Chinese President's visit was being conducted.
Officially, this visit was focused on the North Korean issue and Korea-China trade. Among these, the North Korean issue was greatly highlighted.
'Well. That's good for attracting issues.'
While Na Yuri was watching the news for a while, an email arrived.
When she checked the email contents, she frowned.
Wang Su has been staying inside his house continuously since retirement.
It has been confirmed that 5 members of the special forces who followed Wang Su retired together, and their current whereabouts are unclear.
Wang Su does not come out of his house, and the 5 special forces members who followed him are missing.
Na Yuri closed her eyes.
"Grim Reaper."
The Grim Reaper appeared behind her.
"Was there anything strange?"
-No.
Nothing strange was discovered from the Chinese President.
Na Yuri could not shake off her uneasy feelings. It seemed that the uneasiness would be resolved if she could find out the whereabouts of the 5 people.
She went to find Jimun Seo-saeng.
Jimun Seo-saeng was in the central hall of the Heavenly Demon Cult headquarters. It was Jimun Seo-saeng's office and at the same time, the place where all policies of the Heavenly Demon Cult headquarters were decided.
"What brings you here?"
"There's data I need to request from the Korean government."
"Please tell me."
"I need to know if these people are on the list of Chinese nationals who recently entered the country."
Na Yuri handed Jimun Seo-saeng the names and photos she had heard from her intelligence agent.
"May I ask what this is about?"
Na Yuri told him everything she knew.
"You're saying you flooded the missile base?"
Jimun Seo-saeng shook his head and pressed his solar plexus firmly.
"You two really are siblings."
"Only nag at my brother."
Jimun Seo-saeng quickly assessed the situation.
"I will find out as much as I can."
"Alright."
As Na Yuri was turning around, Jimun Seo-saeng called her again.
"Miss Yuri."
"What?"
"From next time, please at least mention it. You don't need to consult, but I would like to prepare countermeasures."
Na Yuri had expected him to nag from the moment he called her and had made up her mind to refuse flatly.
"You speak very well."
It had the same meaning as nagging, but superficially the words were clearly a request. So it was awkward to refuse.
"That's what I do best."
"Fine. I'll let you know."
"Thank you."
When Na Yuri left, Jimun Seo-saeng stopped everything he was doing and looked into the 5 soldiers.
'If even the missile base was damaged, there's no way they'll just let it pass.'
Na Yuri was suspicious, but Jimun Seo-saeng was certain.
'They'll definitely try to do something timed with the Chinese President's visit.'
His hands became busy.
That evening.
Jimun Seo-saeng confirmed that the suspicious soldiers had not officially entered Korea.
'Did I judge wrong?'
Jimun Seo-saeng stayed up all night investigating all possibilities.
He searched through everything from existing Chinese-born workers who had entered, to the criminal records of those who had changed their nationality.
By the next morning, Jimun Seo-saeng had no choice but to doubt his judgment. It was because he couldn't find anything.
'Was it groundless fear?'
The moment he had such doubts.
Something came to mind.
'If it's not an official method...'
He started investigating again. And finally discovered something strange.
-Nine days ago, the Coast Guard arrested three Chinese smuggling boats.
Three smuggling boats don't move simultaneously.
Jimun Seo-saeng, thinking something was strange, intensively investigated this part.
-There was no resistance.
It was the Coast Guard's answer. At this, Jimun Seo-saeng even called the person in charge at the scene directly.
-They complied with the arrest obediently as if they had been waiting.
Upon hearing that, Jimun Seo-saeng was certain.
'It's illegal immigration.'
He immediately mobilized all his connections to get the police moving.
"We must gather information on the assumption that they illegally immigrated."
The Korean government immediately mobilized all personnel according to Jimun Seo-saeng's request.
Jimun Seo-saeng also conveyed this news to Na Yuri.
Hearing the news, Na Yuri nodded and said.
"You work well."
"It's what I do best."
"You're good at many things. You're too good for my brother."
"Compared to the Cult Leader, I am lacking."
Jimun Seo-saeng did not lose his composure even with his haggard face.
"Shall I let you sleep on the ice bed? In 2 hours you'll recover as if you slept soundly."
"Then I'll ask for your help."
"Good."
Jimun Seo-saeng immediately lay down on the ice bed, and fell into deep sleep by Na Yuri's magic.
Na Yuri looked at that sight and left the laboratory.
"Grim Reaper."
The Grim Reaper appeared.
"Leave the President alone now. Instead, search around here."
Na Yuri showed the Grim Reaper five photos.
"They'll move together too."
Following her gesture, all of Yuna's pets came running.
"Find them no matter what. Begin."
The Grim Reaper and the animals hurriedly left.
Having sent out the reconnaissance team, Na Yuri picked up her phone. And she pressed the name of a person she rarely called.
-Why?
An aggressive voice was heard. It was her brother Na Uram.
"If you caused trouble, you should clean up the aftermath, what are you doing?"
-Me? Playing with beggars.
"Come back quickly."
-What's going on? I'm in the middle of a duel right now.
Indeed, the sound of scuffling was heard loudly. Na Uram was on the phone while receiving a joint attack from 5 people.
"Just live there for the rest of your life!"
Na Yuri hung up irritably.
'If I do this, he'll come even out of curiosity.'
A moment later.
A magic circle unfolded next to her. As expected, Na Uram appeared from there.
