章 37: Chapter 37: 2.16 – Counterattack – Found
"What's up here?"
The disgruntled Salman looked around blankly. From Irkutsk to Moscow, then from Moscow to the suburbs, they move non-stop to find the arsenal that Kwon Taek Joo had promised. But when he got off the car, it was just an unpaved road and there was no road grabbing a street light. Kwon Taek Joo walked forward without explanation.
After a while, the two arrived in front of a shaggy building. Salman stood watching blankly, smiled and said, 'It's unbelievable.'
"Not here, right?"
Kwon Taek Joo pulls up the shutters to shatter that humble hope. As soon as Salman entered, a cloud of dust rose that made him cough violently.
Leaving Salman coughing behind, Kwon Taek Joo held the spotlight on the floor. The light spread into a small trench. Like Zhenya did, Kwon Taek Joo grabbed the trench and slowly lifted it back. Another cloud of dust rose and slowly settled. Beneath it, a staircase appeared.
Kwon Taek Joo walked ahead and walked down the dark stairs, Salman was bewildered step by step, looking left and right. Perhaps because he moved carefully, the stairs seemed endless, it took a while before Salman's feet touched the flat floor. The surroundings are still pitch black.
Kwon Taek Joo was standing nearby, suddenly leaving. Salman was about to rush after him when the light inside was turned on with a click. The vision opened up quickly with an empty bookshelf appearing, but there was no grab a book but only a dialling phone.
"What is it? Are you coming all the way here just to show me this?"
Kwon Taek Joo passed by Salman who was standing dumbfounded in front of the phone. Once you have paid attention to something, it will not be easily forgotten. The password that Zhenya entered is the same. Of course, if he takes care of Kwon Taek Joo and comes back here to change his password, this place will be useless to him. But Kwon Taek Joo has a hunch that it won't happen.
3, 9, 1, 6.
Kwon Taek Joo dialled one after another. Finally, the wheel catches the number '5' spinning and then stops moving. Shortly thereafter, a familiar mechanical sound resounded. Salman was standing there in a depressed mood, scared to pull out his gun. Eyes are busy alert around.
Empty bookshelves appeared one after another. Unlike Salman who is confused, Kwon Taek Joo is very calm. No, his back stiffened.
"I underestimated this."
He muttered displeasedly and checked the number of high-tech weapons appearing in front of him. Kwon Taek Joo randomised some rifles and pistols and threw them to Salman. He also collected various types of explosives, including TNT, in his bag.
Something was flashing, Kwon Taek Joo turned his head. A surveillance camera is flashing a red light. Kwon Taek Joo immediately raised his middle finger and pulled the trigger towards the reflecting lens.
"There are two approaches worth trying. One is to go against the drainage pipe in the mansion connected to the river, or penetrate from above."
The only chance of survival is the first. If they try to penetrate from above, they will end up as a hive before setting foot in the villa.
The drainage of the Bogdanov mansion is connected to the river that flows through the centre of Moscow. The water is quite deep so both have to wear diving gear. Looking at the way the birds fly, there seems to be nothing to worry about. However, Salman has other worries.
"Even if you get close to the mansion, it will be very difficult from then on. We will have to turn the propeller to swirl the flow at the manhole. If you're lucky enough to get out of there, the inner walkway may be wide enough to carry diving equipment."
The two looked down at the meandering river at the same time. The water flowed as if it could swallow them at any time.
"… There must be another way, right?"
Kwon Taek Joo asked depressedly. Salman shook his head coldly. He sighed and put on his diving suit and no one told anyone, they jumped into the river.
The heavy body sank deep and then emerged again. Kwon Taek Joo followed Salman before he could regain his breath. He nodded signalling and led the way to the river. Kwon Taek Joo swims while checking the device on his wrist. The red dot indicates the current location of the two is gradually approaching the drainage pipe of the Bogdanov mansion. The closer you get to the target point, the more intense the water flow. That means there is a device nearby that is doubling the flow rate. It's the propeller that Salman mentioned.
The reality that Kwon Taek Joo faces right in front of his eyes is really huge. The two propellers rotate in front and rear, respectively. Just looking at it was tired, but Kwon Taek Joo kept calm to measure the rotation speed. If they choose the right time, they can safely get through it. If they make mistakes in a split second, they will be crushed without form and there will be no guarantee of life or death.
This time Kwon Taek Joo went first. He kept a distance enough not to be sucked into the propeller and watched its movement closely. The two of them must make good use of this short moment. He adjusted his breathing quickly and then kicked his foot closer to the propeller.
The powerful rotational force causes the surrounding water to quickly spin. Kwon Taek Joo tried to hold out and pulled out his underwater gun. The plan is to stop the operation of the propeller at least temporarily, by inserting a high-strength iron hook javelin between the interlocking propellers.
Kwon Taek Joo silently aimed his gun. He focussed all his attention on one point, the propeller seemed to slow down for a moment. Kwon Taek Joo did not hesitate to pull the trigger. The javelin bounced out of the barrel and quickly rushed through the water crashing between the propellers. The swirling force was intense for a while and then the rotation of the propeller slowed down little by little. Then it completely stopped.
Is it successful?
"…."
As if punishing that hasty judgement, the propeller began to return. The rope connected to the hook javelin quickly rolled up and pulled Kwon Taek Joo's body away. He quickly let go of the gun but in vain, his body was swept away by an uncontrollable force and sucked into a giant propeller. Iron wings swirling a large amount of water appeared right in front of Kwon Taek Joo's eyes. He unconsciously closed his eyes. At the last moment of intuition, the rumbling of friction sounded at the same time a heavy pain piled up all over his body.
Kwon Taek Joo opened his eyes and closed, a strange sight appeared. His body originally thought it would be cut by the propeller, but it was floating somewhere. The fast-flowing water around also became quiet. The propeller continuously makes a mechanical noise like the roar of a whale but is no longer working properly. Kwon Taek Joo gasped and turned his head, when his oxygen tank was stuck between the two propellers.
Kwon Taek Joo feels like his 10 years of life has just passed quickly, the shrinking stress cells are instantly relaxed. But with no time to relieve, he hurriedly removed the oxygen tank he was carrying and signalled to Salman on the other side. Salman immediately turned against the current and swam towards Kwon Taek Joo.
As soon as Salman had just arrived on the other side of Kwon Taek Joo, the propeller suddenly rumbled and began to crush the trapped oxygen tank. Salman is in danger.
Kwon Taek Joo quickly pressed the watch button on his hand. A long rope bursts around Salman's arm. Just before the propeller hits him, Kwon Taek Joo wraps the rope together. Salman narrowly escaped the propeller, so tense that his limbs lost all their strength.
Salman had just almost died, handed over his oxygen mask to Kwon Taek Joo. He took a full breath of oxygen and then swam again.
The two finally arrived at the drain pipe entrance, which was their destination. The pipes are divided into several parts: kitchen, bathroom, garage and garden. On the day of the party, when he escaped from the mansion with the help of Zhenya, Kwon Taek Joo discovered that there was a secret passage inside. If you can find the starting point, the way to your destination will no longer be a problem.
First of all, in terms of circulation, the two of them switched to the drain pipe on the garage side. Shortly thereafter, a long and wide corridor appears on top, the end of which must be connected to the manhole outside the garage. Salman took off his heavy wetsuit and took out the equipment he had prepared.
After signalling in silence, Kwon Taek Joo climbed the simple ladder mounted on the wall alone. He tried to push the manhole cover over his head but it was firmly fixed and did not move. Kwon Taek Joo took out a card and tucked it into the groove of the lid. The card quickly swelled and lifted the heavy lid. Through the gap, Kwon Taek Joo can see the bodyguards entering and exiting the garden.
Kwon Taek Joo is only 2-3 metres away from the garage. If you are lucky, you may not be arrested, but you must be very careful, you need to avoid the eyes of the bodyguards for a moment.
There is something rolling on the lawn in the garden. Round objects such as beads simultaneously rolled to the feet of the guards. The bodyguard looked down unsuspectingly at something that had just touched his shoes. Immediately, a dazzling ray of light emanated from the beads. The bodyguards simultaneously covered their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, their vision became white and could not see anything in front of them.
Kwon Taek Joo took the opportunity to flip the manhole cover. For a moment, he ran to the front of the garage and then nestled against the wall and pressed the open/close button outside, the garage shutters opened smoothly.
"Ah...!"
But inside the garage there is also a bodyguard. The sudden intrusion surprised him. Kwon Taek Joo quickly kicked the confused bodyguard's rifle. The long gun barrel just hit him in the face. Kwon Taek Joo grabbed his nose and hit his neck one more. The bodyguard quickly collapsed without moaning. He grabbed his communication machine and went inside.
Perhaps because it was a weekday afternoon, the inside of the mansion was unusually quiet. While the sounds of plates touching each other can be heard from the kitchen from time to time, there are few signs of others. Thanks to that, Kwon Taek Joo was able to climb the stairs easily.
As soon as he reached the third floor, Kwon Taek Joo leaned his back against the wall in the hallway and placed a microscopic device on the floor. An object that simulates the appearance of a bug is a spy device that uses a built-in camera to transmit a panoramic image of the area to a connected account. Salman checks the video under the drain, suddenly warning Kwon Taek Joo.
"- Wait a minute."
Kwon Taek Joo stands closer to the wall. He even stopped breathing and noticed the presence from the other side of the hallway. After a while, there was a sign that a door was opening. There is a sound of human footsteps. There are at least two of them, all of whom are female. The women who were chatting in the hallway quickly split into different directions.
"– Right now."
Kwon Taek Joo followed Salman's instructions quickly moved. He avoided the cleaning supplies queued in the hallway and went inside the nearby door to find the secret passage.
A hollow sound came from under the sofa but no passage in the room was connected to the hallway, only the main door was not locked but it seemed to be designed for the exit.
"- Hurry up. The maid is coming."
Kwon Taek Joo's heart beats in a hurry and Salman's urge is added. There is no other way. Kwon Taek Joo knelt on the floor and sat down. He cut the floor with a special device equipped with a silencer and slowly lifted the neatly cut floor. Indeed, a secret passageway appeared. He jumped in there and covered the floor again. The section is nestled into the floor perfectly hiding the cut part.
Kwon Taek Joo quickly strode through the aisle. After a while, the bodyguards' communication machines began to riot. They seem to be aware of the presence of intruders. Kwon Taek Joo hurriedly walked while running forward.
A dead end appears. He groped every centimetre on the dark walls. Busy hand entangled in a hook. Kwon Taek Joo pulled hard, the wall on the blocked side slowly lowered. A staircase appeared.
Kwon Taek Joo walked up the stairs, a handle that looked like a bank safe as if waiting for him. Kwon Taek Joo grabbed the handle and turned it with all his might. A metal plate that seemed unable to move slowly rolled up and split the wall in front of Kwon Taek Joo to the sides. Bookshelves filled with walls were opened and an emergency door appeared through that gap.
The room at the end of the third floor that Kwon Taek Joo entered was still the same as the first time he saw it. The curtains are still open and all the lights are on even though it is midday. Something is quite strange.
Kwon Taek Joo walked over to close the door and then he pulled all the window blinds. Kwon Taek Joo then tries to turn off the lights inside, but he can't find the switch anywhere. Meanwhile, the bodyguards were storming the hallway. Kwon Taek Joo has no choice. He pulled out his pistol and fired at the light bulb. The next moment, an incredible scene unfolded before his eyes.
"This...."
When all the light was masked, an existence that tried to hide was exposed. Kwon Taek Joo unconsciously gasped. He felt like he finally understood why the lights were always on in this room and why the curtains were never closed. Even the reason why the heart of the immortal 'Koshichei' may or may not be in the jewellery box.
Inside the room, a long line made of fluorescent material follows each other, forming a single shape. The room itself is Anastasia's design.
