90.

“… … ”

Listening to Lee Hyun-ah’s briefing, I had to work hard not to show my emotions on my face.

All I needed was Sabrina’s information.

Smuggling.

That, too, is the smuggling of Shingi.

Since divine weapons are legally treated like weapons of mass destruction, the crime of smuggling them is dealt with very strictly.

But why is this woman excitedly announcing it in front of me, a police officer?

It also makes the material pretty like that.

At first, I thought Lee Hyun-ah was crazy.

However, as the briefing continued and I learned the current situation of Hwarang and the Hwain Group, I was able to understand the situation.

Hwarang, a foreign organization that she commands, contacted Sabrina and tried to smuggle, but the deal went wrong and was under attack on the contrary.

However, they are unable to report the smuggling attempt to the police in case the smuggling attempt is discovered, and they are just desperately covering up the fact of the damage.

But at that time, as a police officer, I came to the headquarters of the Fine Group in person, even dressed in a police uniform.

If so, what will Lee Hyun-ah think?

In addition, if you recall the conversation with Lee Hyun-ah a little while ago.

“… … ”

Even though the timing was good, it was too good.

From nob le mt l. com

Just a little while ago, I wondered if you would really meet me with a business card.

It was a situation where they couldn’t help but meet.

“… That’s it. How was it?”

After the briefing, Lee Hyun-ah looked at me while saying that.

Her arrogant gaze was directed at me.

In response, I casually nodded my head once.

As if you knew everything from the beginning.

Immediately after that, Lee Hyun-ah lifted her mouth gently.

“Then, since we handed over all our information, now I want to know Inspector Kang Jin-woo’s plans.”

“A plan?”

At my words, Lee Hyun-ah smiled as if telling her not to pretend she didn’t know.

But, of course, I didn’t have that.

All I had to do was kill a demon and get a forbidden book.

“… … ”

But if this is an opportunity, it is an opportunity.

You don’t have to kick the rolled pumpkin.

So I opened my mouth with a short sigh.

“First of all, I will take over Sabrina.”

“Are you going to take care of her yourself?”

“yes. Of course, the Hwarang side has to cooperate as well.”

According to the information Lee Hyun-ah revealed, Sabrina was leading a group of 10 or so demons.

It wasn’t a huge scale, but it was a number that was enough to be a threat.

So no matter how many arrows I have, it would be reckless to run into them head-on alone.

So, since Hwarang was also involved anyway, I decided to use their power.

“Sabrina has the ability to detect threats. Is there any way to avoid this?”

“no. On the contrary, I want to use that ability.”

While listening to her briefing, I explained the plan to Lee Hyun-ah.

It was the Daejeon area that was presumed to be the area where Sabrina was currently hiding.

So, I first moved alone, clearly identifying Sabrina’s location within the city.

After that, the exorcists of Hwarang said to build a siege from afar and raid the place.

“Looks like a possibility. But to be clear, the success rate is not high.”

Lee Hyun-ah said so in my explanation.

It was considered that Sabrina’s ability to sense danger and escape ability could not be handled at that level.

But that was the point of this operation.

“I know. Even if you do this, Sabrina will get out of the siege. Rather, he was aiming for it. If that happens, Sabrina will be left alone.”

“That word… ”

“If only Sabrina remains like that, I will take care of that. In Hwarang, you just need to block the escape of the rest of the demons.”

It was easy to guess that the reason Sabrina sensed the crisis and was good at escaping was because of her lycanthrope tradition.

So, if Hwarang’s exorcists form a siege and push them with numbers.

Sabrina herself may be able to escape, but her companions will be left behind.

And after that, all I had to do was follow Sabrina.

Because I have a sure way to pursue Sabrina.

“You’re going to go after Sabrina yourself and punish her?”

“yes.”

At this, Lee Hyun-ah cast a suspicious gaze on me for a very short time.

Did you think it was impossible for me?

But soon, Lee Hyun-ah’s doubt disappeared as if it had been erased with an eraser.

“All right. but… If that happens, we should move openly. We’ll have to mobilize almost all of the Hwarang’s exorcists.”

“That would be it.”

Wherever Sabrina is, at least a hundred exorcists are needed to form a siege in the middle of a city.

And if that number of exorcists move in unison in a big city.

The police had no choice but to immediately identify the movement.

“The police will ask us about the intention. Then Sabrina’s true identity will be revealed, do you have any countermeasures?”

“Do you need a countermeasure?”

Lee Hyun-ah looked at me with a questioning gaze.

But the answer was simple.

“You can just say it like it is. Sabrina raided the gallery and is fighting back now.”

“Then the smuggling case… ”

“A dead demon doesn’t talk anyway.”

Next was the speed battle.

Destroy the group of demons, including Sabrina, before other cops can contact them.

It was just to decorate the end of the internationally wanted.

Then, only the gallery, which was the other axis of the transaction, remains.

It’s an internal crackdown… Of course you should know

“… … ”

At this, Hyunah Lee shut her mouth for a while.

After pondering for a while, she opened her mouth slowly.

“You know how much of a gamble that is for us, right?”

It was as Lee Hyun-ah said.

I mean, it’s easy.

If it was that simple, Hwarang wouldn’t have to rely on me.

All you have to do is get rid of Sabrina on your own and bury the smuggling case in the dark.

However, the reason he couldn’t do that was because if Hwarang lost Sabrina at all, the worst outcome would come.

So Lee Hyun-ah called this a gamble.

That said, the possibility of failure was high.

but… I have nothing to regret.

If you don’t want to gamble, don’t do it.

“Well, I’m not forcing you.”

“You are doing too much. You know you can’t say no.”

At my words, Lee Hyun-ah said with a wry smile.

“however… Is Inspector Kang all right?”

“Me?”

“The police will understand this operation as Hwarang’s self-defense. However, if it was Inspector Kang who actually took care of Mine… It will raise needless suspicion.”

Originally a foreign agency, Hwarang cannot run an exorcist at will except for cases assigned by the police and for self-protection.

However, there are a few situations where it is permitted in a limited way, and one of them is self-defense against demons.

In other words, when you are attacked unilaterally by a group of demons like now, you can take a counterattack in their hideout.

But now, I was just stuck there.

Something that would be considered strange from a third person’s point of view.

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that.”

But I had an excuse for that too.

“You said that the demon Sabrina is looking for is a lycanthrope fang, right? That, in fact, I had.”

“yes… ?”

Lee Hyun-ah’s eyes flashed with surprise.

In response, I recalled the information of the ghost that I had checked in the past.

<First Fang of Lycanthrope>

The sharpest of the 22 teeth left by the first werewolf.

Puts a werewolf curse on a human.

The fangs were used by the werewolf exorcist who betrayed Hwarang in the past.

Now, it was a ghost that disappeared as a material for Myolrang’s Star Cloud Sword.

If it was Sabrina, who was said to collect sacred objects and artifacts related to the lycanthrope tradition, she would definitely be interested.

“So I also know roughly why Sabrina asked the gallery for a deal.”

In other words, it was no coincidence that Sabrina got entangled with Hwarang.

Perhaps the demon followed the canine in its own way.

And the last person to use it was the exorcist of the Hwarang.

You must have figured out that he was repulsed by Hwarang.

So, Sabrina demanded that Hwarang hand over the treasure in exchange for payment.

However, Hwarang was seduced by the price and agreed to the deal even though he had no nobles.

After that, Sabrina was enraged by his attitude when he did not present the necessary treasure.

“How can I… ”

However, Lee Hyun-ah couldn’t grasp the inside story.

That’s because I didn’t tell Hwarang about it when I retrieved the lycanthrope’s fangs.

That’s why Lee Hyeon-ah only looked at me with her big eyes, blurry at the end of her words.

I continued talking.

“It’s one of the treasures I recovered. Regarding this, a formal report was raised by the police, and all facts that were discarded remain in the record. So Sabrina has every reason to be against me. At the art gallery, just give me a seat.”

Although at the time I complained about making several useless papers.

Looking back now, those papers were the motivation that connected Sabrina and me.

“If it’s a seat… ?”

“Immediately ask the police to cooperate, but don’t talk about the operation, just point at me. In the way that Sabrina is requesting materials from Inspector Kang Jin-woo. Then, one way or another, I will be contacted soon. I will say that I agree to cooperate right away, so we will meet for the first time then.”

“… … ”

At my words, Hyunah Lee shut her mouth for a moment.

After thinking about something while rolling her eyes for a moment, she looked at me with brown eyes.

There was a strange feeling that was hard to put into words.

“Where the hell did… Did you plan this?”

In fact, I never did anything like that.

But anyway, this happened anyway, so I decided to leave.

“From the beginning.”

At my words, Hyuna Lee swallowed her breath with a stiff face.

However, she soon regained her composure and nodded slowly.

“All right. I will proceed according to Inspector Kang’s words. Oh, and… May I attach an attendant to you?”

“An attendant?”

“For the operation, you will need constant contact with us, but doing it yourself would be cumbersome.”

that… Right.

Of course, he had the intention of spying on me, but I didn’t lie either, so it didn’t matter.

As I nodded in agreement, Lee Hyun-ah called her secretary from outside.

“My name is Yuna Jin.”

Saying that, a woman in a suit with sharp bobbed hair that looked like it had been cut with a ruler lowered her head.

He is in his 20s, the same age as Lee Hyun-ah, and has a hard-edged exorcist.

The level… 32 wasn’t that high.

“She’s not a very powerful exorcist, so she won’t be caught by Sabrina’s sense of danger. Then, please take care of me.”

The story ended there.

I decided to move to Daejeon where Sabrina is located with Yuna Jin.

* * *

after a few hours like that.

I was driving a police car driven by Yuna Jin and entering a building in Cheongju on the way to Daejeon.

“Here.”

The building was the Hwarang branch of Cheongju, which was said to have been attacked by Sabrina a few days ago.

Originally, he intended to go straight to Daejeon, but it was because the arrow on the quest was pointing to this place instead of Daejeon.

“hmm… ”

But there is a reason why the arrow is pointing.

So I looked inside the building first.

The outside walls looked intact, with no scratches.

Inside, there were clear traces of a gigantic beast scratching past.

I looked around as if observing the surroundings.

“… … ”

But after searching for a while, there were no clues that were highlighted.

The moment I want to know what the hell I am going to do.

“hmm… ?”

Before I knew it, I saw a small arrow pointing to the inside pocket of my coat.

But it’s a pocket.

The fox beads are all there is to say.

“Fox… ”

Only then did I realize what the quest was trying to say.

I immediately called the fox using the fox marble.

“Keng!”

Then a white fox with two tails came out of the marble.

Fox-type monsters, including nine-tailed foxes, are sensitive to the smell of their natural enemy, the wolf.

In addition, this white fox is a spiritual creature that specializes in reconnaissance and tracking.

Maybe it has abilities beyond simply tracking smells.

“Can you track the smell of the remaining werewolves here?”

“Keng!”

The fox answered my question.

Then the fox walked around the building for a while and sniffed it.

“… … ”

I, as well as Yuna Jin, who guided me to this place, were staring at it.

Standing with her hands behind her back like a soldier, her eyes followed the fox.

When I walked around the building, it seemed like I was standing like a statue, just looking at the front.

Even when the fox entered the room, Jin Yuna slipped away.

It was the direction the fox was looking.

Are you a person who likes animals?

“Would you like to touch it?”

“yes? No, no.”

Maybe I didn’t say anything, but she immediately turned her head.

at that time.

“Keng keng!”

As if the work was over, the fox made a noise in the room.

then… Should I follow the fox now?

If you smell it and track it, that’s the only way.

But that’s why I think it’s more inconvenient than arrows.

“Keng keng!”

While I was thinking about that, the fox’s cry continued.

Seeing her crying without even showing her face… are you calling me

In response, I walked to the room where the fox was.

There was a large map spread out in one corner of the room.

A map showing Cheongju as well as Daejeon.

However, at that time, spiritual power was manifested in the fox.

“huh?”

It meant that the fox used witchcraft.

And as a result of that sorcery… A white fox’s footprints were stamped on the map.

The place where the footprints were taken was a hotel near Daejeon City Hall.

“Are there werewolves here?”

“Keng!”

The arrow was updated with the fox’s reply.

When I checked the direction, indeed, it matched the direction of the hotel designated by the fox.

this fox… If it’s a target that smells, can you specify its location?

“It’s more comfortable.”

I stroked the fox a few times to mean good.

Then the fox clung to his hand, clinging happily.

On the other hand, Yuna Jin was looking at me as if she was envious of me.
