318. Ceremonial acts
Profit.
Lamb ribs placed on a well-heated grill will give off a savory aroma.
After it is grilled until golden brown on both sides, dip it in the special seasoning and put it in your mouth and chew it. The meat juice will burst out in your mouth.
Don’t forget to serve it with grilled onions, leeks, and garlic.
Chew the garlic half mixed with the lamb ribs.
Rain, raindrops.
The combination of garlic and ribs will create harmony in your mouth. I know this from experience. Just imagining it makes my mouth water.
“I looked into it because I didn’t know if it was a terrorist group’s trick, but they were quiet again. That’s our judgment. If the Ministry of Public Administration and Security or the government didn’t draw their swords on purpose, then there was some trick we don’t know about.”
Since each person has their own circumstances, I decided to talk separately with representatives of the three groups.
The first one was Jeong So-jin.
A few members of the shapeshifters came forward and took out thin boards and made a one-person tent.
They said it was a soundproof tent.
“I am a fan.”
Meanwhile, one of the Transformers showed his fandom.
He secretly touched my collar and smiled broadly. I thought that even the elite had their share of tricks.
It must be one of the Hwarangs.
Sojin didn’t go after my man like before. The tent was cozy, but she said that we should talk about private things separately.
I don’t care. What I care about is that my dinner is lamb ribs.
You have to eat it. You have to eat what you want to eat.
They call it a culinary delight, but I think it’s a basic human desire.
“But you hit our child when you came in? Is that a declaration that you will side with the immortals?”
Our gorilla suitor glanced at Kinam and said,
“I only take my own side.”
I have no intention of getting involved in the debate over immortality and transformation.
“Your mother is a regenerate witch. Don’t forget it.”
Sojin said that and got up.
It seemed like he had said everything he wanted to say. He motioned for me to leave.
“What a fierce woman.”
This is Kinam’s evaluation.
Behind him is the head of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security. He left his gun outside and came in with only his body.
“I couldn’t say it earlier, but I’ve heard a lot from my senior. I eat from the same pot as senior Yu.”
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security operates a separate special task force for immortality.
It’s not just Hwarim who is special.
This is called the Special Forces of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, or the Special Forces of the Administration.
He could be seen as a first-class elite immortal in the country.
When I saw him, I thought about it for a moment.
Should I buy some ribs and grill them or take them to the store?
If you eat alone, you can just go somewhere and eat, but if you have a group following you, it will be difficult. If you are taking a group of special species with you, even a decent restaurant will be difficult to handle.
The amount of food must be very brutal.
Should I open my own restaurant?
Because the issue of eating is important.
hmm.
He stroked his chin with a serious face.
“There’s nothing to worry about. It’s a provocation from the Transformers. They’re rushing at me for something I didn’t do, so it seems like they’re doing some work, but the big thing is that they’ve recently lost a few lines.”
Taking the line meant taking a few in the recent Arthur Scythe scramble.
I summarized what you said. It was similar to what Sojin said.
There’s no smell of a terrorist group, and the supernatural and transformation are just a bunch of nitpicking.
After that, the supernatural representative was similar.
I just listened to it with one ear and let it go out the other.
I was okay with that. In fact, I had to do it.
Looking at the fire chicken, I asked him before he left. I couldn’t help but ask.
“Where did you get your hair dyed?”
I dyed my hair bright red, but it doesn’t look that damaged.
Have any new damaged hair care products come out recently?
Arthur Side’s resources can produce some pretty ridiculous things, so it was a reasonable suspicion.
“It’s not a dye, it’s a supernatural side effect.”
The fire chicken is out.
As I watched them leave, I asked Kinam.
“Do you like lamb ribs?”
“… … Are you completely crazy? If you’ve done enough, then think about going back. I have training.”
Because you’re like a training enthusiast.
This kid seems to have given up half the pleasure of eating these days. I heard he only takes the nutrients he needs in pill form.
Who knew our Kinam was such a hard worker?
“That’s a great technique. Thanks for sharing it with me.”
I learned dissonance through Kinam.
“Thunderbolt.”
Kinam gave blessings several times a day.

It was refreshing.
I didn’t take seriously what the government, groups, and associations said.
There was no reason for that.
Because it was something that had already been resolved.
The reason I came here was for the so-called formality.
Umiho said.
If I move myself, the amount of money I can get out increases several times.
I agreed with that. So here I am.
“The ribs are delicious. We’re going to eat them all to live, so eat some.”
I was deciding to have lamb ribs for dinner.
* * *
Panda Hyung, Umiho, and Kim Yohan.
When these three come together, a strange synergy is created.
Panda type has the talent to manipulate the board and turn the situation to his advantage.
Umiho has an excellent talent for turning the tables.
Brother Yohan would gather information he heard here and there and come up with guesses that were close to the truth.
I once asked my brother Yohan when he became so good.
“There are a lot of interesting stories within the company. After listening to them comprehensively and making a judgment, and then thinking about the source of the story and considering the aftermath, you can see the hidden story behind it. And it’s also fun to spread it.”
This is the class of Kim Yohan, the crazy rumor hunter with a motor in his mouth.
I clapped my hands. It was a blessing.
This is the power of a rumor hunter.
It all started when this rumor hunter was bored.
After the lab takeover operation, Yohan returned to headquarters from Busan and said he had nothing to do for a few days.
So I surfed the web and heard rumors about the Immortal Special Forces, rumors about the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, and rumors within the group through Uncle Geungnak, who visited often.
Around that time, John noticed something strange happening on the web.
The basis of a rumor hunter is suspicion.
John was suspicious and had a gut feeling that something was going on.
They say that the immortal’s sixth sense exploded here, but honestly, I think that’s a bit of nonsense.
It’s like catching a rat with a cow’s hind legs.
Anyway, John talked about the strange situation he found.
Upon hearing that, Umiho noticed that the situation was flowing strangely.
Brother Panda synthesized all of that and operated the information team.
So the three of them came to the same conclusion.
“It looks like a hacker is running wild.”
“We are not a terrorist group.”
“It’s hard to believe that one person did all this delicate work, but even so, the conclusion is the same.”
I half-listened to the rambling.
Because I didn’t know what the aftermath of this would be.
“If we leave it alone, it could lead to a second special war. And it’ll start in Korea.”
“hmm?”
Even if it’s not that serious, it’s not that serious.
“You’ve dug deep into my blind spot.”
Miho muttered.
I asked, “Why are the government, groups, and associations just gathering around like that? Why don’t they all just do what they want?”
“can not.”
“I can’t do it.”
“I can’t do it.”
The three answered at the same time. Miho, Panda hyung, and Yohan hyung in that order.
I felt like an outcast in the conference room where there were four of us, including me.
“why?”
At my question, Umiho looked at me with the two letters ‘pathetic’ written in her eyes.
You’re really good at speaking with your eyes.
“You really do wear your head as a decoration sometimes.”
Brother John said it out loud.
I hate both.
Panda continued his explanation, saying that it was something he was familiar with.
The gist was simple.
I don’t know what he did, but the hacker has apparently compromised the security servers of three groups.
This is not fact-checked. This is just a guess.
Because it started out as a rumor hunt about Yohan hyung.
The hacker who scraped the security server cleverly stimulated three places.
Let’s fight each other to the point of bloodshed.
“If all this is true, then the intentions are very dark, black and sackcloth.”
My brother John said so.
The other two were just wondering how to use this to their advantage.
Miho said that of course she had to earn money.
“If you request it, I will send a representative directly. It will also be important to subtly indicate that you will act as a coordinator.”
“I think Chief Lee Jung-bong should handle that, since he seems to meet a lot of outsiders.”
Yeah, Hyung Jungbong has been working too hard these days. I heard that CEO Nam is really sick and about to die.
When I was in Hwarim, I was just a romantically pursuing guy, but when I went to NS, I suddenly became a workaholic.
But how skilled must a guy be to be able to hack into the security servers of those three groups?
There’s a high chance that he’s not ‘quite’ good, but ‘quite’ good.
“Let’s find him and bring him to NS.”
“hmm?”
All three look at me at the same time.
“If you have that level of skill, it seems like it would be very useful, right?”
If you look at the skills alone, that’s true. What I said is true.
“If this is true, then you are saying this knowingly, halfway through, that it is a matter of national interest?”
I laughed when Panda asked.
It’s just a national achievement.
“rose.”
One word is enough. NS also has a former terrorist who has a grudge against the whole world.
“… … Do you know who it is and bring him?”
Miho asked.
“This is my gut feeling, it’s like this guy. Here, ID Keype. It’s short for keyboard addict.
There’s a rumor that he’s a famous information security expert, but he’s just a keyboard warrior. But I have a feeling. I’m suspicious of this guy.”
John’s intuition shone through.
However, I didn’t have full faith.
“Track IP addresses and find anyone who looks even a little suspicious.”
“Find it?”
“Ask. Is this really what you did?”
There was a lot implied in the word ‘ask’, and no one here could fail to understand it.
That question will sometimes be answered with fists and sometimes with money.
ID Keypey, Ghost, Facedown, Brain Princess, etc.
A total of sixteen, that was our target.
* * *
Those guys must be arguing a lot by now, right?
All I have to do is stay here.
Then, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and others will put a lot of money into NS’s pockets.
This is how NS makes money.
Ahem.
I went out of the tent.
As we leave, we are once again exuding a murderous aura.
This time, immortality and transformation are trying to devour one of the superpowers.
“Let’s try?”
Buldak seemed to be maintaining his momentum even though sweat was dripping down his forehead.
“Oh, please, let’s stop fighting. They’re not even kids, and they fight whenever their eyes meet. Seriously.”
I said it moderately.
And after about an hour, I called in the representatives of the three groups and told them everything.
“You want me to believe that?”
Sojin spoke as the representative. All three had distrust filled faces.
Yeah, I understand.
There are three reasons why they didn’t notice the hacker’s presence.
One, the kid who scraped the security server had very good skills.
It’s said that he cleverly touched the gap between the two or three groups. He created a situation where they would keep each other in check without thinking about anything else.
Three, they all blindly trusted the information power of the places they belonged.
There are also some that have been slowly increasing their influence without directly touching the headquarters.
Actually, if you look at it broadly, there are three reasons, and it would be a complex reason.
Brother Yohan also added something like this.
This guy’s ability to manipulate information is frighteningly excellent.
NS saw it with a third party’s eyes, and in fact, he only knew about it in advance because of the rumormonger Kim Yohan.
“Please contact headquarters.”
“Me too, just for a moment.”
“Nonsense.”
Although the reactions of the three were different, what they did was the same.
Contact the head office for everything.
The reason they gathered in the first place was not to fight, but to really dig into this matter.
Even if we had left it alone, the real special war would not have happened.
There’s no way the guy who initiated this wouldn’t know what I know.
If someone is manipulating information this delicately, you’d know it.
This is just close to being a tail.
But I still feel greedy.
If the tail is like this, how much better can he be if you support him from behind?
* * *
Jeong So-jin immediately activated the Hwarang emergency contact network.
A major investigation has taken place on the security server.
It only took 30 minutes to confirm the truth of Se-Choi-Teuk’s words.
“Is that right?”
“I’m speechless because I’m so shocked. How could something like this happen? They bypassed all security systems and only touched the information inside. Is this possible?”
It was news I heard through the Hwarang team.
“There were traces left inside.”
The security expert said in a self-deprecating tone.
He added that he would not have believed it if there had been no trace of it.
“What are the traces?”
“I’m a brain princess.”
What does this mean? The words of Se-Choi-Teuk are true.
The head of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security also heard the same thing at the same time.
“Brain Princess? So the government server security was breached? Damn it, tell the whole server security team to have their heads knocked out.”
Naturally, the association was the same.
However, they were treated a little more harshly.
From the suspension of financial transactions to the blinding of all HR servers.
In physical terms, it was like sprinkling ink on a document.
It’s like being hit hard.
“You realize it now?”
The fire chicken got angry.
“It was so clever. It was like a time bomb that was set to explode if it found my traces.”
“Don’t explain that to me!”
The fire chicken turned around with those words.
I needed time to think.
Although she seemed dull because of her size and chatterbox, Jeong So-jin was not stupid.
The same was true for the representative of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security.
The same goes for fire chicken.
Although he often vented his anger to fit his image, he was a more cool-headed man than anyone else.
All three reached the same conclusion.
‘A guy who knows how to do this much.’
If he left behind only a trace.
This is more like a resume.
This is what skilled hackers have been doing since ancient times. They prove their skills by deliberately breaking security.
So there is only one thing to do now.
“find.”
The three gave the same order.
The leaders of each group came to the same conclusion.
What they were looking for was the brain princess.
While these three were rolling their heads and making phone calls, their brains were sweating.
Gwangik received a phone call.
“Secured.”
Gwangik got up after answering the phone.
“Okay, everyone, the misunderstanding has been cleared up. Please make the deposit properly, and NS will be leaving.”
It seemed like he had done everything he had to do.
The three groups did not catch him. Instead, they went after the brain princess.
Government, groups and associations.
Their information power was formidable. They found the brain princess’ hideout in no time.
That evening I moved.
It was a penthouse in the middle of Gangnam.
“You go first, I’ll stop you.”
There was an unusual commotion in the penthouse building.
There’s a lot of noise about securing that crazy hacker in advance.
While some of the Hwarang were blocking the Immortal Special Forces, some of them went up first.
The Superpower Association even used a trump card called the teleportation ability.
After many twists and turns, all three entered the penthouse.
I could see the note left there.
[I’ll go first.
– NS]
“What the hell?”
The Phoenix team member from the Administrative Office who came up half-soaked in blood said a word in frustration.
The same sentiment was shared by Dangun’s Hwarang and the Association’s superpower team.
“Can I have this first?”
The chairman’s secretary, Sang, who came as a member of Hwarang, actually laughed.
Isn’t he really an amazing guy, NS’s Se-Choi-Teuk?
And that’s the moment they eat shit.
“Horrororo, it’s hot.”
Gwangik was chewing the freshly grilled ribs, letting them cool in his mouth.
