Communication
[Title: These Yul-gom bastards are seriously scary lol]
Transcribing as I hear it, yup.
Since it's come to this, why don't we handle it neatly with the police?
There happen to be a lot of gangs around... Didn't a citizen say the gang right next door even got their hands on firearms?
If we have just about 2 teams, we could work well with the police and swallow them up, right?
Hmm, how about solving it directly instead?
Directly?
Then should we give them some money and send them off?
And while we're at it, do a bit of threatening too.
That's more convenient, but...
That's good.
But a bit more... how should I put it...
Let's do it on a grand scale.
Huh?
Since we're giving money, let's add a bit more to establish a hierarchy.
And if we're going to threaten them, let's put on a proper show of force and crush them.
Also, if we squeeze too hard, they'll burst, so with a carrot... I'll have to think about this a bit more.
Does that mean... you're going to create a cooperative gang?
No.
Let's create a subcontractor.
Let's make them crawl on their own.
Theeen... we have to make them dependent first, right?
The type should be social image rather than money.
Since the video of them getting robbed by me is already out, they're half-cooked.
Let's do it while we're at it.
Normalization of the West.
This came out in 5 minutes?
Not something they thought of beforehand?
These crazy bastards.
These bastards are definitely the masterminds.
ㄴ Absolutely!!! We are absolutely not the masterminds!!!
ㄴ Please stop the slander... Our kids are a wholesome construction club...
ㄴ Ugh, citizen-pretenders.
ㄴ Aren't they just a gang with a citizen skin?
ㄴ Shall we start going to take it, the hegemony of the West?
ㄴ But what does that mean, socially dependent?
ㄴ I dunno either.
ㄴ Glad I wasn't the only one who didn't understand.
ㄴ The scale is getting fucking huge.
ㄴ The idea is fucking novel lol.
[Title: The gang called Sotongbulga does not exist]
If you see a gang called Sotongbulga, quickly unplug your LAN cable and try to communicate with a nearby human.
If there are no humans nearby, turn your computer back on and write a post on the gallery.
The above sentence is a lie.
Never turn your computer back on.
ㄴ I'm scared...
ㄴ It's common sense that Sotongbulga is a gang, right?
ㄴ We're fucked.
ㄴ F*ck, I'm genuinely scared and screaming like Guan Yu.
ㄴ It's a pseudo-gang, fr.
[Title: But seriously, is that feasible?]
Especially that part about eating them socially.
So, the more they use them to polish and promote the gang,
the more being eaten by Nogada acts as a major factor, right?
Is it that big?
Isn't it just over once you receive money and pay it back?
ㄴ Just think of it simply, they just tucked their tails.
ㄴ It's already over from the fact that they took money and even borrowed money, yup.
ㄴ Is that so?
ㄴ If they even wage war and win, they're basically half-caught.
ㄴ It's easy to think of Admiral Yi Sun-sin.
ㄴ The Japanese respect Admiral Yi Sun-sin even more than we do, right?
ㄴ Ah.
ㄴ Yup, Nogada has to rise for their own pride to survive too.
ㄴ Once that happens, they'll inevitably be half-wrapped up in it.
ㄴ There are so many smart bastards, f*ck.
ㄴ Upvoted for info.
ㄴ Ah, finally understood lololololol.
ㄴ Ah, so that's what it meant.
"Heeello."
"Nice to see you."
As I parked the car in front of the police station, Makgapa greeted me with his arms crossed at the entrance.
"Yeah, welcome. To my kingdom."
"Is this something the people inside also agree with?"
"What are you saying, you mere Lieutenant."
Whether he was triggered by that remark, Makgapa uncrossed his arms and opened his mouth.
"First off, I got promoted. I'm not a Lieutenant anymore. I'm a Captain."
"Woooah. Congratulations. You've passed the halfway point now, haven't you?"
"What are you saying, you mere Captain."
Didn't I explain it last time?
What it means to be a Lieutenant in this era.
I'm really just one step away from being an executive.
Makgapa tried hard to swallow the various pathetic explanations hovering around his lips.
"Haa... What was I expecting from you guys."
Even if I say it, they'll just react for a second and that'll be it.
As expected of Sotongbulga, they really don't communicate.
"Let's go in for now."
"Okaaay. But we've already entered, haven't we?"
"What are you doing not coming in? Do you have a lot of time?"
Makgapa grabbed his throbbing head.
Because he had to negotiate from now on with this contradictory crew that both communicates and doesn't.
"Dammit, this won't do. Huk-huk, Choi Sik-min. Come to the interrogation room immediately if you have no work. Over."
"Huk-huk, confirmed."
Makgapa hurriedly picked up the radio and called for a shield to disperse this damage.
"Heeello?"
"Ooooh? Who could it be, it's the violent criminal!!!"
"Yeees, it's the violent criminal."
"Ah, I want to commit violence."
"Gasp...! Officer, what do we do? Our Captain has an anger management issue, and it's about to explode right now. If we leave it like this, they might swing their fists at everyone?"
"Waaaah...! What do we do!?"
"If you lend us your cheek, Officer, we can solve it. You are the only one who can stop their violence. For the peace of the South......"
"Ah, damn it, that's enough. Don't bully my guy."
Makgapa threw his own body in front of Sotongbulga, who couldn't wait and started taking the bait.
Just chew on me instead, you bastards.
Nogada, who had paused at his heroic appearance, asked.
"You want me to return your jaw?"
"Hit me instead!!"
At his intense appeal, Yulia's head tilts.
"Was that your preference?"
"It's the first time I've felt my fist was a waste."
"Just hit me instead. It's unpleasant."
"Why would I hit you?"
"Maybe it's your preference."
"It's not."
"Hehe..."
[They really don't communicate at all lololololol]
[This is Sotongbulga lololol]
[In the midst of this, it's sweet...]
[Makgapa is pitiful...]
[They triggered him a lot and even rubbed salt in the wound]
[This is a bit...]
They're really ignoring me.
Ignoring me, swallowing it, chatting among themselves, and acting like assholes.
As Makgapa straightened his body and turned around, he heard a voice.
"Gaaaasp!! Makgapa-gyeongjang-nim, was that your preference?"
"I'm a Captain."
"In the first place, yesterday I wasn't a Senior Patrol Officer, I was a Lieutenant."
"What even are you."
Having sent his colleague away by sacrificing himself like that, Makgapa headed to the interrogation room.
"Can't I go in too?"
"No."
"Tch."
Did I save them for nothing?
Makgapa felt a sense of emptiness as he sat in the interrogation room chair.
"It's fucking lonely."
"You should've lived better then."
"Ayy. You must be busy, right? Not having friends isn't something to be embarrassed about, you know?"
Please come quickly.
Makgapa closed his eyes and waited for Choi Sik-min.
He didn't have the confidence to handle these two alone.
Choi Sik-min arrived about 3 minutes later.
"I'm he... what are you doing?"
"Oh, you're here. You're fucking late..."
"I arrived in 4 minutes, though."
"Just... a lot of fucking things happened. I'm so tired."
Choi Sik-min faced Makgapa, who was squatting in the corner, and forgot what to say.
Since even a rebuttal required a minimum level of understanding, Choi Sik-min quickly ignored reality and turned his head.
"Hello. It's been a while. Senior Patrol Officer, Choi Sik-min."
"So this is the person you mentioned last time. I'm Yulia. No wonder I smelled an ace, you've already become a Senior Patrol Officer?"
"I rose quickly because I'm good at my job."
"Yaaawn... Now that you're here, could you help your boss up? People might think we bullied him."
"Um... would you like to get up?"
"Yeah. Now that you're here, we should get to work."
Makgapa jumped up and sat in the chair, as if his groveling just a moment ago was a joke.
"Now, let's talk business."
He put both arms on the desk in front, rested his chin on his hands, and opened his mouth.
"He's really keeping his cool like this. I'm learning a thing or two."
"He's not a Captain for nothing. A pragmatist."
"... Let's work."
[lololololololololololol]
[He's really triggered lol]
[They really don't listen at all lololol]
[Why do you think we're called Sotongbulga]
[Drop the act]
[Trying to act like you let it slide]
"Just asking in case, the person behind you is someone we can trust, right?"
"That was settled a long time ago. I've recruited someone in the middle too, since you need at least one person there to make things run."
"The Deputy Commissioner, they'll become it."
"That's right."
Hearing the honest ambition spat out in a blunt voice, Yulia was convinced.
And well, even if we're not on the same side.
"Because if things go wrong, you're the one in big trouble. You must have picked someone reliable."
"That's true too."
Oh my, they're saying that so openly.
I really like them.
"Sorry about that? Our Captain is a bit too honest."
"I'm already used to it. But..."
Makgapa paused for a moment before opening his mouth.
"Actually, what I initially wanted to ask for was a hitman."
"Didn't you clearly say you wouldn't make us do anything big? Is a hitman not a big deal?"
"This is what you call a police officer?"
Makgapa tilted his head at their reactions.
"I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding, I don't mean I'm going to make you do assassinations or anything. I just meant I'd use it as a pretext to start a gang war."
"There was a flaw in your word choice. A more appropriate expression would be a fuse."
"Thanks, Choi-sbi. Anyway, my initial plan was like this, you see? Use you guys to start a gang war, we support you from behind, and turn the South-East region into a clean zone."
"Hmm?"
"There certainly is a problem."
[The South-East is already our turf]
[It's grown way too big than expected lol]
[It's already past the size to be used as a hunting dog]
[Probably, yup]
[But even if it went according to that plan, it would've been a gain]
"We've grown a bit."
"A bit? Are you joking?"
Makgapa said, as if dumbfounded.
"I didn't even know you were leading 2 gangs in the first place."
"At that point, we didn't know either."
"But looking at it, 2 gangs wasn't the end, right? You blocked off the entire East with this hideout placement."
"We didn't intend to go that far either."
"What?"
Yulia briefly explained their journey so far to Makgapa.
"Huh... certainly."
"I think we chose our partner well."
"I wasn't the only one thinking that."
"If this is the case, I think it's fine to allocate less manpower to the East for now."
"If this is the case, there's no need to limit it to the East. If we use it as a deterrent..."
When Makgapa and Choi Sik-min, having confirmed that the line they caught was golden, were running their happy circuits.
"Counting your chickens already?"
"Who said we'd do it for you?"
Nogada with a sullen expression and Yulia with a goofy grin asked them.
"How far did you look into it before coming?"
"How far did you look into it before coming?"
With completely different expressions, yet exuding a similar atmosphere.
