Chapter 642: Rainmaking ritual (6)
Players Association Headquarters.
In the office of PR Team 2.
Team members of PR Team 2 were patrolling the association’s building under TL Park’s directives.
There were no signs of people in the offices as dark as clouds.
But there was a non-human.
Nabiryeong, playing the role of TL Park’s girlfriend.
It was ridiculous that she was brought into the office, but TL Park was good at doing nonsense.
He liked to show off what little power he had and brag.
That’s why he brought his beautiful and sweet girlfriend, Nabiryeong, to show off.
‘There are a few smart-looking humans among the subordinates, but I guess they’re lucky that they’re just subordinates.’
There were team members who were wary when Nabiryeong entered the office.
PR Team 2 was handling information and data undisclosed from the public, but they were no different from ordinary companies.
It was ridiculous to let an outsider enter their office, and so the team members who were in their right minds remained vigilant.
Nabiryeong showed no gaps though.
Behind TL Park who shouted to get refreshments and tea, Nabiryeong looked sad as if she was troubled.
She maintained an expression that victims would make when TL Park looked at her.
Even when she was guided to the office and served tea, Nabiryeong continued to act helpless.
‘Their vigilance lightened, but they were looking at me until the end. I quietly set up a recorder successfully though.’
When Nabiryeong ‘summoned an otherworld’ within the association, the team members left the office to patrol under TL Park’s instruction.
Thus, only the two of them remained in the office.
TL Park didn’t want to do more than needed because he found it annoying to work on Christmas Eve, so he had no intention of leaving the office at first.
‘He wouldn’t have had to work today if he worked diligently.’
The truth was, that TL Park working on Christmas Eve was Nabiryeong’s doing.
She identified the order of duty within the association through what TL Park said and induced him to be on duty on this day.
When the usually obedient Nabiryeong pouted, saying that she wanted to celebrate with TL Park, the love-stricken man changed his days working.
Although there were frequent complaints from subordinates who wanted to rest on this day, the self-centered TL Park didn’t pay them any attention.
And having TL Park work on Christmas Eve made everything go smoothly.
Nabiryeong came to the association, pretending to give him a gift and a lunch box.
She acted a little distressed, then, Nabiryeong invited her into the association.
After the team members left, Nabiryeong said she was worried about the satellite laboratory, a place that TL Park often mentioned.
She taunted him, acting innocent as she said “Oh, you have no authority to intervene there, did you?” and said that she shouldn’t have mentioned it.
With her words, TL Park immediately ran out.
That’s when Nabiryeong sent a very small butterfly with TL Park.
‘It would’ve been easier if I gave up on PR Team 1 earlier.’
Nabiryeong dug into the association, caused confusion, and targeted the PR Teams to get information.
It was partly due to the large amount of information that they handle, but it was also to target the team members that belonged to the Regulation Enforcement Department.
Since the PR Team had to deal with information that the Regulation Enforcement Department wanted to either cover up or spread, the members of that department often belonged to the PR Teams.
‘Well, I changed it up at the most important time so it’s okay.’
In any case, Nabiryeong was able to move freely within the association using TL Park’s desire to show off.
Nabiryeong thought while measuring the location of the recording devices installed and left by the team members.
She knew that the cameras were filming her so she made sure to not make eye contact with the lenses as she pretended to be a terrified civilian.
Though, of course, she didn’t mean to keep waiting calmly.
Fwaaaa!
Small butterflies moved to the cameras and clung to the batteries, causing small explosions.
When the butterflies made of energy waves were scattered, the recording devices affected by it were all turned off.
There was currently an otherworld inside the association, and the cameras turning off would be passed off as the effect of that.
With the recording devices out of the equation, Nabiryeong got up and walked lightly.
She sat in TL Park’s seat and checked the data chips one by one.
All the passwords and security cards used by TL Park were secured, but it wasn’t difficult to access them.
‘I already know this one… This one, he already told me before…’
TL Park bragged to Nabiryeong often as he attempted to make himself look like a high-level human being who handles classified information.
TL Park would easily reveal important information without Nabiryeong even encouraging him.
Nabiryeong thought of the possibility that he had no real information on hand, but she encountered something unexpected.
‘He said he didn’t know anything about the lab. Hohoho, so he was going to tell me when he found out everything.’
She found information on the satellite research institute collected by TL Park.
He didn’t get any conclusive information, but there were plenty of clues.
Unscheduled recruitment of guest researchers.
A royal lineage that cooperated with the satellite team.
The existence of a secret project under the leadership of Im Jihwa.
TL Park didn’t know what they were doing, but he’s been persistently watching them.
‘Then should I look at the research institute?’
With the data chip in place, Nabiryeong closed her eyes and chose one of her butterflies.
The small and special butterfly that she sent with TL Park.
It was a butterfly carved by the person that Nabiryeong works for.
One of the reasons why she was favored was because of this butterfly.
It carries that person’s Jin (spell) and can go unnoticed.
In order to summon a high-rarity otherworld, it was necessary to engrave Jin at the location where the otherworld was to be directly summoned.
Doing so without the butterfly risks being detected by the Moon Palace and the Rabbit Clan.
It wasn’t easy to create such a butterfly, but it was worth it.
The Moon Palace cannot detect that butterfly.
‘Oh my? He looks very similar to Song Manseok.’
At that time, Nabiryeong saw Song Daesok through the butterfly that followed TL Park.
It was noteworthy that a young student, who looked very similar to Song Manseok, was wandering around a high-security area.
Nabiryeong then sent the butterfly to Song Daesok while TL Park and Im Jihwa were having a scuffle.
When Song Daesok crossed a secret passage and reached Ok Toyeon, Nabiryeong turned bright.
But her expression clouded when she heard the words that followed.
— You! What did you bring here?
— What’s this?? A butterfly?
—Butterfly? Does that look like a butterfly?
The butterfly was discovered, and Ok Toyeon seemed to have seen the Jin held by it.
‘It’s not detected by the Moon Palace, but that moon rabbit can see it with her own eyes.’
Nabiryeong made the ball but made a mistake.
She decided to cover it up.
‘Let’s scratch whatever the association has been hiding.’
Fwaaat! Fwiijiik!
When Nabiryeong released energy waves, the Jin that the butterfly carried was activated.
An otherworld spawned with a rarity high enough that a student and a frightened rabbit couldn’t deal with.
Even if it doesn’t kill those two, it will be enough to paralyze them for a while.
However…
Someone arrived and intervened.
They were wearing masks and unfamiliar clothes, but Nabiryeong immediately recognized them.
It was her ex-boyfriend, Deputy Manager Yoon.
They were only three people, but they managed to effectively deal with the otherworld.
‘I see they were waiting here.’
Nabiryeong was aware of some capable humans, so she prepared a Plan B and Plan C.
She took a thin accessory case from her arms.
When she opened the case, she found a bracelet made with a design similar to the cuffs worn by TL Park.
She wore the bracelet and said goodbye to her lover.
“Goodbye now.”
At that moment, Nabiryeong’s bracelet sparkled and shone.
At the same time, TL Park’s reason and instinct collapsed and energy waves began to flood.
Explosions were heard outside.
Kwaaang! Kwang!
Nabiryeong produced powerful energy waves from TL Park and launched scarily strong explosions.
TL Park is known to be incompetent and weak compared to other association employees, but he’s still one of the talents who passed the high wall of the association’s rigorous recruitment process.
As evidence, Im Jihwa was caught in a surprise attack and collapsed.
‘I’m done with everything I have to do.’
Nabiryeong succeeded in summoning the otherworld to the association, causing a disturbance, and gathering information just as she was ordered.
Now that she’s completed her mission, that person will not suspect her abilities.
It was questionable whether the association would be able to handle the chaos caused by TL Park though.
‘I wonder how far he predicted? Can he stop this?’
Nabiryeong left the association with joy as she thought of a certain crow mask.
* * *
“Ugh… You bastards… I’m sick of you…”
TL Park launched energy waves as he caused explosions, his voice even making an eerie sound.
Hong Gyubin had to cover his ears, thinking that his eardrums would burst if he continued listening.
If Park’s mumbling was enough to hurt their ears, it was worrying what would happen if he used his power.
While Hong Gyubin protected his ears with energy waves, he felt the ground vibrating.
He didn’t know if he was just nervous or…
Dududuuu…
Hong Gyubin came to his senses.
‘No, that kid still had one more thing up his sleeve!’
Jo Euishin paid curious attention to the association.
Hong Gyubin said he didn’t need to do that, but the student only gave a suspicious smile as he prepared double or triple what Hong thought was needed.
Dudududu…!
The sound from afar slowly came closer.
At that time, TL Park found Hong Gyubin.
Rather than the collapsed Im Jihwa, TL Park seemed to have more intense feelings for Hong Gyubin who stood intact and dressed in an outfit for the Regulatory Department, an outfit that TL Park wanted too much.
When he found Hong Gyubin, TL Park shouted and rushed.
“Ahhhh!”
Dudududu!
At that moment, the thing that vibrated and sounded the association’s building appeared through the cracks in the damaged wall.
Dozens of gray lumps shaped like mice.
Seeing it, Hong Gyubin smiled bitterly without realizing it.
‘It’s just as Jo Euishin said. They appeared exactly at the right time.’
It was the mice summoned by Seodol, the head of the Rat Clan and the royal lineage who gave Hong Gyubin his order.
