Hermit Wizard

* * *

President Kang Mingi carefully read the report in his hand, without missing a single letter, and then repeatedly placed it on his desk. And I got my chin shattered and locked in deep thought.

He sits for a long time without saying a word and asks his secretary.

“How long has the meeting started? ”

“It's been a little over 20 minutes. ”

Voice conference in progress between diplomats in North Gyeonggi-dong and Seoul. Since the matter was significant, the President also expressed his intention to hear the matter. Since it is a diplomatic working group meeting, it is not in the nature for the President to attend, and in this case, it is normal to arrange for the results to be reported to the Assembly at a later date.

However, as the agenda related to 'The Wizard’, the President wanted the content to be updated in real time.

“How many times? ”

“Connected to number one. ”

The President listened to the sign language. The dialogue between the two diplomats can be interpreted and heard.

“· · · Therefore, the People's Republic of China requires disclosure of the operating records of the KE2815 that took off from Hongchao Airport at 16: 00 on X. ”

The President calmly endured a sigh. Because it was a listening line, I forgot for a moment that even though I could hear the story of going and going between them, my own words were not told.

He turns his head and asks.

"Is this still the topic?"

The secretary nods.

The President again focused on the content of the meeting. The Korean Foreign Ministry's executive counters what China is saying.

“The aircraft is a civil aircraft. The Korean government did not find any explicit evidence that KE2815 violated the Aeronautics Act or the Aviation Security Act. In the absence of any allegations, there is no basis to compel a private company to make a disclosure. ”

The reason why China suddenly started digging up that plane was obvious. I smelled it. President Kang Mingi frowns.

“We have a lot of evidence to show that the aircraft did not land at Kimpo Airport as scheduled. ”

“If so, first disclose the evidence. ”

The Chinese diplomat did not provide the evidence at last.

Nevertheless, insisting on claims means that they have noticed suspicious generosity and obtained evidence without evidence or in an unlawful way.

Of course, it was more likely to be the latter. Proof of the reluctance of the Korean government. Evidence of espionage activities, such as hacking.

I had to. All operating records were falsified and partially concealed by the government after Yoon Min-jun's flight KE2815 entered Korea Airport Control.

The practitioner of the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs says:

“It's hard for us to understand why China continues to demand excessive information about Korean civil airports. ”

“Didn't I tell you already? The plane is clearly in violation of Chinese civil aviation law during the takeoff of the injured Hongchao Airport. Failure to respond to the investigation may result in a total shutdown of the airline's number one passenger transport route in your country. This is certainly a legitimate measure. ”

I wanted to raise my voice a little more among diplomats, but the same words seemed to be turning around. Taking a little time like that, the meeting ended with no conclusions.

“Hm · · ·. ”

In a darker complexion, the president puts down the sign language. Immediately the chief secretary comes and says,

“The Chinese ambassador's request for an interview continues. ”

“Keep saying no with the right excuse. Just like now.”

Sometimes no-response is the best response. He asks with a dry wash.

“It's obvious why China is so blatant, isn't it? ”

The Chief of Foreign Affairs and Security, who was listening to the meeting, nodded and said:

“Perhaps without evidence, I'm already convinced by the severity. the fact that our government tried to contact Yoon Min-jun on that plane. ”

“If there was a token, he would have been in more trouble. ”

“Yes.”

The Chief of the Defence Staff talks.

“If China had noticed that, it would have been able to open the duc to our government in secret, but continuing to publicly denounce and protest the plane means that they don't know where Yoon Min-jun is. ”

“You're harassing us because you can't find it. In the end, it's intimidation. ”

“Yes.”

China is conveying the message behind the diplomatic dialogue. China already knows that the Korean government is playing with planes.

And Yoon Min Joon's identity on that plane would have ended. Yoon Min-jun's departure record will remain clearly in the computerized records of the Chinese Government Immigration Agency. It was an area where the Korean government could not reach out.

“The Chinese government hasn't secured his credibility yet. So it's coming to our government, which we believe has already made contact with him. ”

"I'm guessing so."

President Kang Mingi smiled bitterly.

"It's hard to roll heads."

In fact, China's speculation was somewhat correct. The Korean government does not know where Yoon Min Joon is right now. But the clue to making contact with him again was in the hands of the government.

“That's why China is so desperately looking for him. ”

The President looked down at the documents he had just read.

This information document obtained through the North Gyeonggi Intelligence Channel suggested that this incident had occurred to the People's Army units dispatched to the injury channel. A magical presence was involved in the battle between the xenophobic and the people's forces, for which no detailed information has yet been communicated to the Korean government. The Chinese government that received the report was in a state of upside down.

The world beyond the injury channel was known to be completely different from that of the Earth. However, one of the magical beings seen in that xenophobic village was looking like an animal on Earth.

“A tiger.”

A giant tiger that suddenly appeared in the air tore apart the People's Army, nailed to repeated shootings and vanished like a mirage.

Moreover, during the interrogation of the xenophobics after the end of the battle, the Chinese government discovered that some human wizards had been involved with them. Surprisingly, he was a worthless Earthling, judging by the appearance of his testimony or his style of conduct.

Individuals on the Chinese government-managed channel, even unidentified wizards, entered and made contact with xenophobics at will. So far, the Chinese government has come to grips with finding the wizard.

In the meantime, it appears that suspicious incidents involving Korean nationals at Hongchao Airport have been reported to the top. Even though the government used its hands, it could not completely escape the Chinese government's scrutiny.

An unknown, powerful wizard and Korean.

Links existed between these two keywords. The South Korean government was already aware that some of the footage of the Busan crisis had passed to China.

It won't take long for the Chinese government to investigate the passengers on the plane and narrow the suspect down to Yoon Min-jun.

“I, Mr. President. Washington is connected. ”

President Kang Mingi woke up from the commemoration.

“It's a mess on both sides. Connect.”

As soon as I pick up the sign, I hear the U.S. Secretary of State's voice. I've been on the phone almost once a day these days.

After a moment of greeting, I go straight to the point.

“As an alliance, I would like to offer God's young advice, Mr. President, that the United States is prepared to cooperate with the Korean government at any time to assist in a higher level of investigation. It's been months since the Busan crisis, but it looks like we haven't had any meaningful results yet. ”

It's that story again. After the Busan crisis, the United States was proposing to set up a joint investigation team. I think I'm already investigating myself through the U.S. Intelligence Channel, but I've also repeatedly given you official offers in Yangji.

I almost conspired to hide in it. We will try to gather information in cooperation with the Korean government.

“You've already sent a joint relief squad of massive civilian personnel to rebuild Busan. That's all I'm thankful for. In addition, this week, a large group of relief workers were dispatched by GIBW, an American private organization. ”

“Relief and reconstruction activities are also important, of course. But we need to figure out what kind of creature did this. That way we can prevent the same thing from happening again and again. ”

If this had been a typical xenophobic channel crisis, the United States would have stopped providing much less relief assistance than it does today. In the end, they smell and roast so stubbornly. The ‘ordinary' xenophobia whose existence gave rise to that crisis (?) because there will be information that it may not be ’.

The conversation lasted for a while, knowing each other's intentions. President Kang Mingi concluded his telephone conference today, defending his position of refusing to dispatch any more investigators.

However, just before I hung up, the Secretary of State cautiously said a word.

“Be careful, Mr. President. There's a spy on the Chinese side who thinks he's going to be slowing down because of the Jovaism. Of course, it's not Yang Ji, it's Yang Ji. ”

The moment the President's eyes are frowned upon. Now, that means that you can use your hands as a non-diplomatic channel in China.

“· · · Jovam? ”

“I think there's been a big issue with injuries lately. We don't know the details. ”

It was an obvious lie. In Chinese circumstances, the United States was more likely to know more than Korea. After that, the Secretary of State talks.

“By gathering and analyzing the information, we can predict that the Chinese government will try to make contact with foreign wizards in a non-peaceful manner. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

So far, it has been implicitly taboo.

“That means China is in such a hurry. And, Mr President, I would like to give you some advice stemming from one friendship. ”

His eyes became prudent.

“Wizards who have already been identified may be more dangerous. even if they're not the final goal of China. ”

That's how the call ended.

The president, who put down the sign language, speculated with the staff about what they heard. At the moment, there is only one conclusion.

When Yoon Min-jun's whereabouts were not known, the Chinese government thought of other options.

“I am in contact with a Korean wizard who is already known to exist. ”

Right now, only one of the Korean government wizards can do their job properly.

As with strategic weapons, the list of wizards in each country is extremely secretive. However, through intense espionage, some of the statues flowed out. What if China also knows the existence of Kim Kyung-hwan?

“I can only interpret it as trying to touch Wizard Kim Kyung-hwan. Does that mean you're going to catch a Jeep? ”

“However, no contact was found between Yoon Min-jun and Kim Kyung-hwan. This is a situation that has already been investigated by our government. ”

“I have no idea what you're up to. ”

“Just because Korean wizards have something in common, they hang on to a weak possibility. ”

The President's concerns deepen. He raises his head and asks.

“Where is the contract from Wizard Yoon Min-jun? ”

“I'm sending it to Wizard Kim Kyung-hwan to analyze it. ”

“Did you get the results? ”

“Not yet. Kim Kyung-hwan, as a wizard, is expressing an oval color that he can't even touch. ”

The President outlines his thoughts for a moment.

“It's the only way we can get in touch with the Yun Min-jun Wizard. ”

At the very least, it is the only part of the Korean government that has an advantage over other countries.

“It says that once someone from our government who can take responsibility for it signs, they can reach out to him. but we didn't know if it was true. ”

Unknown contract. Probably a magical object.

“China's generosity is not unusual. Even if you're in danger, I suggest you make contact with him again in this way. ”

Staff gather their mouths together.

“Oh, but, Mr. President! I have signed there and I still have no idea what magical effect it will have! ”

“Moreover, the question of who has to sign! ”

The President, in turn, looks them in the eye and says:

“Will you call Wizard Kim Gyeong-hwan as you wish? And that contract together. I'd like to talk to him for a moment. ”

* * *

And after a bit of time, the game won't be a secret.

Kim Kyung-hwan stared at the NIS employee who came before him and opened his mouth with a lost face.

“· · · here, will you sign? ”

“Once the story goes that way, it seems. Before that, the President wants to have a quick conversation with the Wizard. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan frowned and looked at the contract in front of him. I double-checked the pattern of horsepower emanating from it, and I shook my body once again. My whole body seems to be creeping out.

Yeah. These people who don't have any magic power don't know how scary this stuff is.

I mutter like that. Moreover, this magic pattern was very familiar to him.

“You don't think the President is signing, do you? ”

“It seems unlikely. Now, let's go together. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan nodded and stood up. And I think.

‘Is the e-laser now trying to move from the back to the country? I know you're human, but what the hell are you? Are you really a wizard who has been controlling humanity in the back of history for hundreds of years? ’

Kim Kyung-hwan had not yet received all the information from the government. After making several speculations in his head, his complexion became blurred.
