Episode 42 [Hong Kong at night (2)]
Hong Kong Bay dock with the night view vividly reflected. Luxurious yachts were lined up at the dock and swaying in the current.
It was a very beautiful and peaceful sight, but the peace was shattered by loud noises.
Buuuuung.
A luxury car was driving at the dock.
It was a road where cars couldn’t run, but I didn’t mind at all. People who went for a walk at night were startled and flew in all directions.
Splash, splash, splash.
The dock turned into chaos as people jumped into the water.
Screams erupted, but the car continued to drive down the dock and stopped in front of a luxury yacht.
Sigh. bang.
Smoke rose from the wooden floor due to the sudden braking, and a middle-aged man in the driver’s seat opened the door and jumped out of the car.
The men guarding the yacht looked outside in surprise. They recognized the middle-aged man and quickly rushed out of the yacht.
The middle-aged man who got out of the car was the man from the mainland who shot Kyung-hoon in the arm.
“Brother, why are you already here?”
“What happened?”
Ignoring his subordinates’ questions, he quickly gave instructions.
“Get me something to wear and start the boat right away. return to the mainland And be wary of your surroundings. If you see anything strange, shoot it right away. “Huh? Then the public security....”
“Now is not the time to think about the public security! “If you have to do it, do it!”
When he distorted his face and growled, all his subordinates quickly lowered their heads.
“yes. older brother!”
After he boarded the yacht, one of his subordinates brought him a leather jacket and another subordinate started the yacht.
“We are going to Nansha through the free trade pilot zone. “Process immigration as usual.”
“I wonder if the person in charge will be there at this time...” A
middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket looked at his subordinate who was talking back while smoking a cigarette.
He lit a cigarette and burned his subordinate’s hand.
Hurrrr.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.... We will find the bar right away and proceed!”
Hearing what his subordinate said, he put the cigarette back in his mouth. The subordinate, who had a burn on his hand, did not even think about treating it and immediately grabbed the communicator. The yacht started and started to leave the dock.
He looked
at the dock with tense eyes and was relieved. He exhaled. He took his cell phone and entered the cabin.
“I have an important call, so don’t come in.”
“Yes!”
Thanks to the brief admonition, the subordinates seemed to have become more alert.
He closed the cabin door, took a deep breath, and made a call.
The signal continued for a long time, and after a while, an old man’s voice came from the cell phone.
– It’s too late. What’s going on?
The middle-aged man cautiously opened his mouth.
“Old Master. “Something went wrong.”
The other person had no answer. The man continued talking.
“A person who appears to be a mutant human attacked the workshop. All of the gang members guarding the workshop were neutralized, and we even confirmed that the producer was rescued.”
-Is it the public security side? Or another organization?
The ship rocked slightly as if it was leaving the inner harbor. He fixed his cell phone and answered the labor and management’s questions.
“The opponent moved alone and could not be confirmed.”
-Alone? Are you saying the killer came?
“He looked like a fairly skilled expert, but he wasn’t considered a killer or assassin. He just felt pain when he was hit in the arm by a rifle, but we confirmed that he was fine.”
-Is it a mutation that strengthens the body? It seemed like these guys would come out as expected.
The old man clicked his tongue over the phone.
-One precious ingredient has disappeared. So, did you confirm the separate instructions?
“Yes, I accessed the homepage created by that entity called EV.”
Puff. Puff.
Kyung-hoon tilted his head. It was because an article he had seen on the Internet came to mind.
“In China . “Wasn’t most of the triads that were there dealt with by the police?”
-After collecting the data, it seems like it came out in the sun a long time ago. Some executives at Chinese state-owned enterprises were former triad members.
“So what is the result?”
-There were two awakened people who accessed the website from a location close to the person I was talking to just checked. One person was blocked because he accessed from a government facility, and the other person is active on the bulletin board after signing up.
“Check it and block the information so you don’t notice.”
-Yes, it is already in effect.
It may not be possible to stop all spies or external forces, but it would be better to screen them out if possible.
Kyung-hoon took out a greatsword from his backpack. He plunged his bayonet into the cabin floor.
A short time later, the yacht sank beneath the water outside Hong Kong Bay. Only one person survived from the ship.
After some time, Kyung-hoon arrived at an empty dock and pushed an emergency rubber boat with a hole into the sea.
After confirming that the rubber boat was sinking, he climbed onto the dock.
It was worth it to deliberately make it to the dock on the other side. The dock here was empty.
However, a car was approaching from afar. Kyunghoon walked toward the approaching car.
Slurp.
The car stopped quietly. Perhaps because it is a hybrid car, there was no engine noise when driving slowly.
The driver’s seat opened automatically and Kyung-hoon got into the car.
The woman sitting next to him looked at Kyung-hoon.
“My name is Jin Xiawei.”
The car started smoothly. Kyung-hoon let Eve drive the car.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t drive, but I wasn’t confident yet. It would only be bothersome if an accident occurred this night.
Jin Xiawei didn’t seem to mind that the car was moving alone. There was nothing surprising about it. She had been traveling in a car without a driver.
As the car sped up, Eve spoke through the earphones.
– Jin Shawei’s name has been confirmed. This is my real name. International bartending certification confirmed. Lives in Hong Kong. SNS or other communities don’t seem to do it.
Kyunghoon looked at the woman waiting for an answer. He opened his mouth to Jin Xiawei.
“I’m Kang Kyung-hoon.”
Jin Xia-wei looked surprised when he heard the answer. He seemed to realize that Kyung-hoon’s name was his real name. He
was someone he would continue to work with in the future. The other person used his real name, so there was no reason to arouse suspicion by using a pseudonym. .
Kyung-hoon dropped her off at the hotel Eve found. She could have gone home, but he couldn’t show her the monitors and PCs that covered one wall of the living room. After entering the hotel room, Kyung-hoon asked her again. “Like I said when I
came
. “I am Korean. I would like to recommend Korea as a place to take refuge. What do you think?”
I had been whispering softly so that they wouldn’t be heard, but there was no need to do that anymore. Kyung-hoon’s Korean and Eve’s translation came to her ears together.
Jin Xia-wei looked at Kyung-hoon, who was speaking with a curious expression on his face.
“I always thought it was strange. It was clearly out of sync with what I said and how I spoke. This is the first time I knew that real-time translation has advanced to this level.”
– Without Mana AI, it will be impossible in the near future.
Jin Xiawei tapped his lips with his finger and looked at Kyung Hoon.
“You trusted me and told me your real name, so if you refuse, it will be a good result. won’t appear, right?”
Kyung-hoon burst out laughing. It’s not that I didn’t have those thoughts, but I didn’t know how to say them out loud like this.
“First, you said your real name, so I said it too. “I didn’t think we had different opinions.”
She smiled at Kyung-hoon’s answer.
“That’s right. Then, are you going to Korea?”
“It will be difficult to go under your own name, so I think you will have to wait a bit.”
– It will take more than a week to prepare the fake passport and various documents.
Jin Xiawei raised a finger.
“I will prepare it. You can be my bodyguard.”
Kyung-hoon laughed at her confident words.
“But what should I do if I go? It’s not like I can just hang out. And I don’t plan on making drugs or anything like that. She was a quick-witted woman.
“How about developing the characteristics that have already been revealed?” An
alchemy material that he had seen not long ago flashed through Kyung-hoon’s mind.
A material that is perfect for use as an explosive. A lot of it was submerged, but it was clear that there was still a lot left.
