Berlin, 07: 34 PM - CIA Movement Node

The food truck with the famous German sausage "CurryBoost" was filled with communication equipment and monitors that had nothing to do with food.

- Entering Jane Doe on the 6th floor. Please confirm.

The radio rang and one of the monitors switched to the CCTV footage in the hallway of a hotel.

When the man's face had just been scanned through the corridor, the monitor next to him showed the name 'Aziz’ and information of Hamas, a member of the Islamic military organization.

Nathan, director of the CIA Europe, asked Aziz to watch his face.

Have you heard from 603 yet?

Mills signaled that it would take a minute.

David, who was manipulating the communications device, connected another CCTV screen.

Followed by an agent dragging a room service cart through the hallway dressed as a hotel staff member. When he knocked on 603, the door opened and the room service cart disappeared.

- Delivered.

Through a small camera at the end of the cart, the view inside the room began to be transmitted to the monitor.

Profit.

- Welcome. Did you have a comfortable flight?

- What about the package?

Approaching him, Aziz was a white male in his 40s with a sleek appearance. An analysis monitor that automatically completed facial scans revealed information about an arms dealer named Robert Opron.

- He's got a temper. Then I will ask you as soon as possible. Are you ready for the money?

- Swiss secret account. 3 million.

As Aziz shakes the bank transfer button on his phone, Robert nods at his subordinate with a smile. A black box is placed on the table by the underling.

- Nowhere new in the world. It wasn't easy to take.

A thick metal box was opened and an elaborate sealing container the size of two fingers revealed.

"Zoom in."

When the container appeared on the larger screen, Nathan fixed his glasses and looked closely.

Let's see. What ingredients do you sell this time? Seeing as he's about to make a deal with Hamas, who's famous for his dirty work, it must make him feel bad about the money.

Does Robert know that he is a prominent intelligence gathering tool for the CIA? How many arms dealer routes did this reveal? Maybe we should write an employment contract.

Don't joke. The contract will evaporate. Just this much distance...

At that moment.

On the other side of the surveillance camera that was illuminating room 603, I heard a cracking window and window. Nathan and David, who were watching the screen, flinch.

- Intruder! Some people...!

You hear Robert scream, and the cart with the bug on it flips over and rolls into a ditch. The screen spins dizzily, turning back to the wall as well.

The sound and flashes were transmitted in the screen in succession. And the whole room went dark.

Mills!

I saw an agent rushing down the hallway CCTV dressed as a hotel employee. He listens inside, with his back against the door in 603.

- I can't hear anything.

Stand by. What about the external cameras?

After manipulating the screen, the CCTV installed in the building across the street showed the window 603.

Two black shadows tie Robert to the rope and push him down the window.

What the hell is that?

Another CCTV caught the car already waiting. Those who came out of the car received Robert. Two shadows jumped out of the rope as they attempted to drop into the vehicle.

Yuck!

The vehicle disappeared into the dark with a sudden rash.

Send a tracking team. Mills, check inside.

An agent entering 603 dispatched immediately.

- Everyone fainted. Looks like a specialist. Things are gone.

What?

An unidentified group that entered into a transaction between an arms dealer and a terrorist. They're not as backgrounded as they are digging up surveillance angles from the CIA.

Why did Robert kidnap you?

A short while later, Operation Two, who was in pursuit of the vehicle, contacted us.

- We found the car, but no one's home.

Perfect for a getaway route. Report the German authorities to the scene of an arms deal and let Mills clear the scene.

The video signal of the listening device that was rolling around in room 603 was switched off.

Nathan turns his eyes to the center screen where the containers are open.

David, what do you think that is?

I don't know. Bioweapons? Poison?

Leave this video with the analytics team.

David follows instructions and quietly asks.

Even though you have teamed up, no matter how good the weapon analysis is, can you see exactly what the material is by just looking at the video?

Nathan seemed to agree.

The Chemist...

Yes?

A year ago, there was a Ph.D. who consulted with the Chemical Weapons Prohibition Organization on the Discussion of Massacreable Nervous System Substances. He would.

Just by looking?

"He screwed over the analysis of two of our experts. Find the records and track them.

David, who was quickly gathering information, widens his eyes and turns his head.

General, Dr. Heaven is at the hospital in Genoa. He's in critical condition with his respirator.

What?

Seoul, 03: 05 AM - Personal Laboratory of a chemist

Jungwoo's hand, who was tapping the keyboard, stopped. I tapped the last paragraph dot of the material to hand over to Dr. Moon, and then I straightened out my base.

“Ugh, it's over. ”

It's already Monday morning. You can take your time, but I wrote it all in return for a comfortable week ahead.

In addition...

Jungwoo picked up his phone and opened his textbox.

[I'm totally free after that single activity closing interview. Did you do a lot of research on that?]

[Not yet.]

[Tsk.]

[I think I'll be free next week. Vacation is also available on weekdays. If Lee Seol tells you to continue with the study, just do it.]

[!!!]

It was Wednesday. Jungwoo covered his laptop with excitement at the meeting with Yoon Yi Seul which he would have for a long time.

Thinking about sleeping in the chair until morning in the unemployment room, I decided that a wide place would be better, and then I got up. Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

"Huh?

I pressed the call button with the name I know immediately in my ear.

“Dr. Moon. I e-mailed it to you anyway. ”

- You're not busy, are you?

“Oh, yes. ”

- Who was it? ISTC?

- Yes, we are.

I heard a conversation in English over the phone.

- Jungwoo. The International Council on Technology and Technology? They said they needed some advice.

“To me?”

- He's here to see Dr. Heaven, and he's not in a position to talk.

“Were you with Dr. Moon? ”

- I'll get back to you with the details. First of all, what do you want to do with this?

“What kind of advice? I'll help if I can. ”

- He's emailing me a video. He asked me to tell you if I could find out what this is.

Jungwoo reopened his laptop. A few seconds later, a letter arrived in your mailbox. It was high quality video that popped up on the screen immediately after clicking. A sophisticated-looking airtight container contained a red glowing liquid compound.

‘Let's hold still.'

I didn't want to ask for simple information, but Jung opened his eyes and focused on the molecular world.

Inside the container, a mass of molecules glowing in fluorescence was forming a huge sea of mesh. However, because of the limitations of the video, there was a lot of fog everywhere and only a single piece of information appeared.

“That's a strong bond. Especially when it's temperature-resistant. I think it's a compound made of properties that can retain its shape in lava. ”

Beyond the phone, you hear Dr. Moon interpreting Jungwoo's words exactly.

- Jungwoo.

“Yes?”

- Ask him if it's explosive or toxic.

Jungwoo looked through the mist and found a circular molecular structure inside the mesh. Suddenly, the molecule in sight was empty as a ball.

“I don't see that kind of temperament. It's just like a structure that can combine something in a liquid. In a way, it looks incomplete. Wait a minute."

I entered the information into the KG Chemical Library as a single piece. There are over a hundred similar compound ranges. When I adjusted the condition and reduced the number of twists, it was compressed to about 10 pieces.

“It's a nanostructural material system. There's a paper by MIT's engineering team that says it's a little bit different than what we have in our material library. Identification number……. ”

Dr. Moon, who was translating for a while, asked.

- Are you sure it's not a dangerous substance?

“I'm going to grind out how to define hazardous substances, but tell me it's more effective to hit people directly with a club than it is to hurt them. Anyway, here's what I can see. ”

- Thank you, at night.

“I'm going to stay up all night. Dr. Moon, are you coming this week? ”

- I don't know yet. I'll be in touch.

After the call, I turned my eyes again to Jung's laptop.

“Huh?"

There was no video to float to. Jung, who once clicked on his mailbox again, tilted his head. It was because there was no trace of the mail itself.

Was it auto-deleted?

Jungwoo yawned loudly and then covered his laptop thinking, "Whatever."

Seoul, After Two Days - KG Photo Studio, Gangnam

QBS entertainment reporter Kim Lina stands in front of the camera.

“Yoon Iseol returned from a delicate girl to a musician reciting a sweet song. ”

Under the warmly sunny rooftop umbrella of the building in the afternoon, Yoon Iseul was dressed in a dress with a fresh fruit pattern.

“I'm going to talk to her about her life as a third-year debut singer as soon as she finishes her first half. Hello, Lee Seol! ”

As Kim Rina greeted, all the cameras were focused on Yoon Yi Seul.

“Hello."

Yoon Lee Seol's face was filled with laughter. After Kim Rina sat across the table, the interview proceeded in earnest.

“Yoon Iseol is a rare star. Don't you hear a lot of grumbling about how many fans you want to see often? ”

“Gentlemen, just now another television appeared. ”

After speaking to the camera, Yoon Iseol replied with a serious face.

“I'm lacking a lot underneath the stage. It's why I've been so focused on music broadcasting and radio. ”

“What's missing? ”

“If you see me being tired and picky when I'm working on a song, you'll shake your head, too. When I think about that melody, our staff doesn't talk very well. ”

“Oh my. Mr. Lee Seol's staff? Are you sure?”

The chief nodded roughly when he was standing on one side of Kim Rina's defense.

“It's known for its bright smiles and singing. In some media, it seems like someone who surpasses trivial sentiments. It looks soft and gentle on the outside, but I think it will be fast. What if I said something about this? ”

“How can I laugh when I'm a human being? But on stage, I just feel like an idiot. Maybe it just makes me feel better without thinking about guitar. Well, if you want a wink, I'll give it a try. ”

Yoon Lee Seol forcefully made a serious face, but even it looked bright. He laughed at the mouths of the cameramen who were filming.

“to sleep, called the best sound thug of the first half of the year. Yun Yi Seol's love songs after two years also brought together a talk. Is this actually a song that I wrote thinking about someone? ”

Yoon Lee Seol's gaze upon the question turned to the new staff manager, Jangwoo. Jungwoo, who shook his hand and said hello, turned his eyes and greeted me.

Yoon Yi Seol replied with a thin smile.

“I tend to write a lot of personal experiences in song lyrics. Why, if you think of anyone right before you go to sleep, that's what you really like. ”

“It sounds like there is such a person for Mr. Lee Seol. ”

“How about it?”

Jungwoo pauses in this conversation and takes a big breath. Yoon Lee Seol continued the interview with a smile on his face.

“I thought you had one. Until I realized it was a dream. That's why I went to sleep. Now I think I need to find someone who still misses and remembers even when I'm awake. ”

“Watchers, Yoon Yi Seul is looking for him. Now, the next question is a question for fans of the fact that they're singer-songwriters. When writing sensitive lyrics.... ”

The one-hour interview ended, and Jung opened the waiting room door. Yoon Lee Seol, who was cooling the skin in the sun, waved his hand toward Jungwoo.

“If I had known you were coming so soon, I would have skipped the photo shoot schedule. ”

I gave cold bottled water to Jung Woo Lee Seol who quickly closed the door to see who would listen.

“Can I just do that interview? ”

“What?”

“Lee Seol is a celebrity and has an image. It's a misunderstanding like before.... ”

A sip of water brought out the blood and lips.

“Since when did I think that? I never should have confessed that I wanted you to care so much about my celebrity life. ”

“Lee Seol did it first. ”

“I'll take care of the imagery anyway, so you take your time. Like today.”

“So I'm here early. ”

Yoon Yi Seol's mouth, who couldn't help but feel good, trembled a little. Yoon Il-sul who woke up from his seat stood opposite Jungwoo. Then I scoured up and down Jungwoo.

“You're dressed up. ”

“I've done some cool stuff. ”

“Who do you want? ”

“Oh, right. Let me think about that for a second. ”

Yoon Iseol, who was expecting an answer from you, glances at Jungwoo. Jungwoo smiled and asked.

“How are you? ”

“Yes.”

“What do you want to do today? ”

“First of all, your research has failed, I'm afraid. Now what? ”

Yoon Lee Seol looked up at Jung Woo, holding his hands behind Jung Woo's waist. I was embarrassed by her bold actions.

“Why is it so hard for me to see you when I think about you every day? Are you trying to sneak up on me? ”

Yoon Iseol's gaze at Jungwoo's heart shook. I came up with a lot of decorations, but it was nothing compared to her because of the professional touch. Even when I look at it so closely, my face is radiant like polished jewelry.

Jungwoo, who was looking at Yoon Lee Seol like he was drunk, asked.

“Can I stay with you all night? ”

I felt a flicker from Yoon Iseol who was wrapping his hand around my back.

“Why, you didn't get the last night's checklist. ”

“Ah……. ”

“What were you thinking? ”

“That's what I thought. ”

“Aha. Like now, without permission? ”

“Yes, I see...”

Yoon Iseol, who seemed to be curled up, smiled broadly and pointed at her lips.

“If you're excited, do this too. ”

“If we're going to do that, we need to get back to my research. ”

“Forget it. I can't go today. ”

Yoon Lee Seol hugged Jungwoo more forcefully as if he would never let go.

“Mr. Lee Seol. It's hard to explain when someone walks in, so let go of this arm first. ”

“Quiet. Outside the dean who will come at this time...”

The door was open.

“Jungwoo. Outside the studio right now… Oops, I'm sorry. ”

When Yoon Iseol fell off the chair and muttered, "Oh, it's hot," Jungwoo said, "Why can't I catch Wi-Fi?"

Chief Ji smiled and watched the scene, saying.

“Jungwoo, you have a visitor. ”

“Yes? Is my guest here? ”

“I heard you were from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a foreigner. ”

Jungwoo looked back at Yoon, not knowing how he knew he was here.

“I'll be out in a minute. ”

Yoon Yi Seol nodded his chin for a short while keeping his head down.
