  Secrecy Bureau, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, Namju (Safe House).

  Teams 4 and 3 of the Security Bureau of Secrecy Bureau waiting at Incheon Airport and Team 2 and 1 of the External Intelligence Agency from the National Intelligence Service took Woo Eun-seo’s family, who had completed immigration procedures through the VIP passage, to see if they had spoken with the immigration officials beforehand. We arrived at a safe house in Gangseo-gu.

  Eunseo Woo, who hurriedly left Hong Kong and flew to Korea by plane, fainted when she heard the news of her father’s death.

  “The first father-in-law tried to report it. He said he could never give the state’s top secret science and technology to the kidnappers.”


  Ahn Min-cheol, with tears in his eyes, poured out the details of what had happened.

  “However, my wife and I told the father-in-law that we should never report children’s concerns. The father-in-law, who had been struggling for three days, finally listened to us, saying that his grandchildren were trampled on every night.”


  “Well, who was the middle contact?”


  Kim Jin-joong, 2nd Division Director of the National Intelligence Service’s Foreign Intelligence Bureau, asked a question.

  “Yes, the kidnappers made their demands on the wife, and the wife passed them on to the father-in-law.”


  “Um, that’s weird. All phone calls from Professor Woo Jin-gil are intercepted by our security team. But so far, we have not been able to secure anything related to him while talking on the phone.”


  Park Kang-won, team leader of Team 4 and Team 3 of the Secret Service Guard Room 1 asked while coughing.

  In relation to state secrets, the wiretapping was done for security reasons, but in retrospect, it was a rather illegal act.

  “The phone calls were in the form of encrypted conversations informed by the hijackers.”


  “Well, that’s right.”


  Team leader Park Kang-won nodded his head.

  “Have you seen the faces of the kidnappers?”


  “no. He said that he couldn’t see him because he had covered his face since the first time he was kidnapped. They said they spoke to each other in fluent English and only faintly heard someone talking on the phone in Mandarin.”


  So far, Ahn Min-cheol’s statements have been consistent with the contents of Professor Woo Jin-gil’s will.

  “Then did your wife record conversations with the kidnappers as an intermediary contact?”


  He thought about something for a moment in response to the question from Section 2, Kim Jin-joong, and then immediately slapped his knee and got up from his seat.

  “Yes, there is. Wait.”


  Ahn Min-cheol rummaged through his suitcase and pulled out one of his smart phones.

  “This is it. It’s an unused phone now, but the first time I talked to the hijackers, I recorded several calls.”


  “Five! That’s great.”


  Ahn Min-cheol’s expression was not so bright when the second manager, Jin-joong Kim, handed the phone with a bright smile.

  “By the way, I don’t know if it would be helpful to talk on their phone with a tampered voice.”


  “Don’t worry about that. We will be able to restore it to the original sound.”


  “Ah, then I’m glad. I saved the first few calls and kept calling with a tampered voice so my wife didn’t record after that.”


  “Fine. This will help the investigation.”


  “I wish it were. By the way, when will the father-in-law be able to come to Korea?”


  “Ah! That part is currently being coordinated with the Hong Kong investigative authorities. We will do our best to escort them back to their home country as much as possible tomorrow.”


  “Ah! thank you.”


  After that, the first survey was completed and ended two more hours later. First of all, since we secured a smartphone with the hijackers’ forged phone calls, we were able to uncover the identities of the hijackers.

  November 25, 2023 02:30 (Kurdistan time 24, 20:30),

  The new government building in Doubayajyut, Ari province, Republic of Kurdistan.

  The city of Doubaayajw, the capital of the Republic of Kurdistan, was in a festive mood all day. This was because the Taegeukgi and the Kurdistan Republic flag were hoisted at the Kirkuk City Hall, the last occupied territory of Kurdistan around 9:30 am local time.

  As if the War of Independence had ended, thousands of citizens of the Kurdistan Republic flocked to the streets, waving the Republic flag and shouting for independence. It was a festival, not a festival.

  With so many people occupying the roads and streets that a car could not pass, there were shouts and processions of citizens in the square in front of the new government building of the Kurdistan Republic.

  bang! Baba Baba!

  A truck jumped out of nowhere and honked its horn and drove towards the square. Citizens in the square tried to avoid themselves due to the sudden appearance of the truck, but the citizens, who were crowded enough to have no time to step, were blocked by a human barrier and, unable to escape, collided with the truck.

  The truck, which ran at random, hitting the citizens, finally crossed the square and reached the front of the new government building, and then exploded with a huge explosion sound.

  Quang! Aaaaaaah!

  A small mushroom cloud erupted in flames and engulfed the surrounding area. A huge aftermath spread at an instantaneous speed, blowing up not only the citizens but also the buildings of the new government.

  Ahh! Cool! Aww!

  Screams of pain resounded from here and there as white dust that could not be seen even an inch ahead swallowed the surroundings. The new government building plaza, which had a festive atmosphere for up to a few minutes, turned into a hellish affair.

  As the dust settled to some extent, the view was terrifying. Ripped limbs and bloody corpses were strewn through the rubble of broken buildings, and the lucky survivors unconsciously screamed for help.

  One mother cried as she looked up at the sky as she screamed as she hugged her bloody, stretched baby. It was a castle that resented the sky.

  Beep beep beep!

  On that day, the siren of an ambulance rang continuously in the city of Doubayajyu.

  November 25, 2023 02:30 (Kurdistan time 24, 20:30),

  Bashkale State Capitol, Banju, Republic of Kurdistan.

  In all cities of Banju, which declared the first independence along with Ariju, tens of thousands of citizens came out on the road, just like Doubayaya, in a festive atmosphere.

  A procession of citizens continued in front of the Bashkale State Capitol, the capital of Banju, as well as various signposts and flags of the Republic.

  “Independence of the Kurdistan Republic! Independence of Kurdistan Republic! Independence of the Kurdistan Republic!”


  Everyone laughed and the whole family came out to enjoy the festival. Big and small performances were held in various places, and food was served to citizens for free in large restaurants.

  The state security forces in charge of security in the city also joined them with their guns on their backs in a festive mood. Today, it was a momentum to unravel all the core of the Kurdish people who had lost their country for over 100 years and suffered a lot according to the profit and loss of other countries.

  Children and adults, men and women alike, let your voices explode. Among the shouting marching citizens, several men in all-black Arab robes suddenly took off their cloaks and shouted.

  “Allahu Akbar (Allah is great)”


  Their bodies were stripped of their outer garments, and IEDs (homemade bombs) were hung all over their bodies.

  Several nearby citizens were startled and shouted for damage, but they were buried by the cries of the citizens.

  Kuang! Bang! Aww!

  A deafening explosion resounded throughout Bashkalesi, and huge flames shot up into the sky. A total of six such explosions occurred.

  November 25, 2023 02:30 (Kurdistan time 24, 20:30),

  Kirkuk City Hall, Kirkuk Oblast, Kurdistan Republic.

  The square in front of Kirkuk City Hall, which marked a mark in the history of Kurdistan’s independence!

  The members of the 3rd Tank Platoon of the 111th Marine Tank Battalion, who had a sweet rest in the temporary barracks all day, went out after getting permission from the company commander to go out to experience the festive atmosphere in the middle of a cool night.

  Every time the 3rd Tank Platoon members passed by, the citizens expressed their sincere thanks. An old man shed heavy tears and hugged him recklessly.

  “Hey! If it’s this popular, can I live here?”


  Sergeant Kim Yun-seong, who made eye contact with the two beautiful women and greeted them, said with tears in his mouth and ears.

  “Why don’t you just marry the woman here? You see, those two women, as well as the Kurdistan women, are generally pretty, don’t they?”


  When Corporal Lee Hae-seong spoke with an expression that was not sure if he was teasing or sincere, Sgt. Kim Yun-seong’s expression became serious and responded.

  “mind! Bok-soon in Seoul is waiting for you.”


  “Ugh! Bok-soon? What a name!”


  “Oh yeah? What?”


  “Ah! You are beautiful.”


  “Child! The name is still, but the face is prettier than the two women before!”


  “Not at all! Are you?”


  At this time, Sgt. Gil Min-jun interrupted the conversation.

  “By the way, haven’t you shown me a picture until now? Commander-in-Chief?”


  “picture? Did you ask me to show you?”


  “Ah! Of course, I knew it wasn’t there……”


  Sergeant Gil Min-jun flinched at the hand of Sgt. Kim Yun-seong, who suddenly climbed up, and, unable to continue his words, pulled his body back.

  “Cook! this child! ruler! Look! look!”


  Sergeant Kim Yun-seong moved his hand, which had reached his head, into his chest pocket and pulled out his small notebook. There were several photos in the notebook.

  “Wow! Are you really showing me?”


  When they saw the picture of Corporal Hae-seong Lee and Sgt. Gil Min-jun sticking their heads out, they immediately looked disappointed.

  “Ah really! Isn’t that a picture of a dog?”


  “Huh! right! It’s our room.”


  “Ah! also! There was none.”


  “Ha ha ha, children! look at the faces? If you’re so disappointed, you guys can introduce yourself. Go! That food looks delicious.”


  Sgt. Kim Yun-seong, who was disappointed with Corporal Lee Hae-seong and Sgt. Gil Min-jun, shoulder-to-shoulder, and dragged him to a small vending machine selling food on the street.

  “Are you shooting?”


  “carrot! I wonder if you guys will call me out?”


  “Shhh! You are the invincible Deputy Chief of Staff No. 132.”


  “Now you know? haha”


  Various performances were held under bright lights in the wide city hall square, and there were a long line of vending machines selling various foods with Arab spices.

  “What would you like to eat?”


  When I was about to look around and choose a variety of food that made my mouth water just by looking at it, a shock wave came with a huge explosion in the plaza near the entrance to the city hall.

  Kuah! Aww!

  Then, a huge aftershock swept the square along with the thick dust.

  “Ah! What, what?”


  People caught in the aftermath flew away without mercy. Of course, Sgt. Kim Yun-seong and his party, who were choosing food at the vending machine, also threw all kinds of food on the ground.

  Fortunately, thanks to the protective suit, he was not injured, but his head was blank and his eyes were not visible in the cloud of dust.

  “Ouch! head Are you guys okay?”


  Sgt. Kim Yun-seong crawled around the ground to find Corporal Hae-seong Lee and Sgt. Gil Min-jun.

  “I! I’m here.”


  Corporal Lee Hae-seong’s face bulged out from among the broken vending machines.

  “What about Sergeant Gil?”


  “Ah, me too.”


  Sergeant Gil Min-jun, who had collided with the wall behind him and collapsed, was approaching, removing food from his clothes.

  “What the hell is this?”


  “Wow, it seems like a bomb attack.”


  “Terror?”


  Surprised by the word terror, Corporal Lee Hae-seong lowered the shield glass and looked around. There was still a cloud of dust all around me, so I couldn’t see even an inch ahead, but the inverter mode of the shield glass broke through the cloud of dust and allowed me to see the surroundings in detail.

  “Ah! Are you serious?”


  The sight seen through the shield glass was terrifying. In particular, an estimated 300 people were lying in the square near the entrance to the city hall.

  Lieutenant Kim Gyu-hwan, platoon leader of the 3rd Platoon, who was watching the performance far from the source of the explosion, came running.

  “Is everyone okay?”


  Lieutenant Kim Gyu-hwan, who was accurately looking for and inspecting the platoon members through the shield glass, received a wireless communication from the main unit.

  “all right. I will return right away.”


  It seemed that this explosion was an order to return from the company.

  “Third platoon! it’s an emergency Return to the unit immediately. Hurry!”


  When the command to return to the platoon commander was given, he went out after a long time, brushed off his heart that had been soaked in the festive atmosphere, and started running recklessly to the battalion garrison.

  The screams of the clamoring citizens behind them as they were running made their footsteps heavy.
