(Episode 154)
24. Messenger of God
“Name Nasir al-Hadi, gender male, nationality Pakistan, age 27, residence presumably near Jalalabad, Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan.”
When Agent Regina Rodriguez saw a picture of a man on the control room screen and introduced his history,
“As an Islamic fundamentalist, he is a person who has chosen his own path, calling himself a messenger of God since about three years ago when he acquired psychic powers while working in the Taliban.”
Watching video of Nasir al-Hadi making a statement with some followers, Agent Jennifer Thompson added an explanation.
“What is this bastard’s superpower?”
In response to Myeong-sik Han’s question, Director William Gordon saw it in a new video and nodded.
“Look carefully at that screen.”
“Uh… ? Something moved in the shadows, right?”
“Nice to see, that’s Nasir al-Hadi’s psychic power.”
“Is it stealth?”
Jennifer explains the answer to this question while playing a video that disappears from the shadow of a person and then reappears in the shadow of the building next door.
“According to the headquarters’ analysis, the degree of movement, infiltration, and stealth through shadows has been confirmed.”
“You mean there will be more?”
“Okay, let’s look at the photos of the damage again.”
When the gruesome picture appeared on the screen again, Han Myeong-shik instinctively frowned.
“Hmm… I don’t really know.”
“This is not common to all victims, but there is a definite difference here at the mosque site.”
In the scenes Regina enlarged and compared separately, the commonality immediately caught my eye.
“Suicide… I guess?”
“That’s right, so I’ve made two assumptions about Nasir al-Hadi’s current abilities regarding his method of murder.”
In response to Director William’s explanation, Jennifer posted another photo from the scene.
“One is designed to look like a suicide for the purpose of conveying a religious message, and the other can even control the target’s behavior.”
“Hmm… The latter is more plausible, right?”
All of the colleagues in the situation room nodded at Han Myeong-sik’s opinion. Regina clicked on a thumbnail on the screen to play another video.
[Wife… I thought he was joking at first, because he was originally a pleasant friend. But the expression… I knew there was fear. He was exactly the look I saw when he was surrounded by the Taliban. That… However… I don’t know what it is, go… Why did you suddenly do that…]
It was a video of a burly man with a shaggy beard who looked like a soldier being interviewed with an extremely unstable expression.
“This friend is the only survivor of Nasir al-Hadi’s personal encounter, and as a PMC contractor, he witnessed the death of his colleague while capturing an American friendly village in Afghanistan.”
The interview that followed William’s explanation was terrifying and quite meaningful.
“It’s clear that Nasir is manipulating the master of the shadows, seeing as he tried to murder his comrades.”
“It’s a position that can’t be confirmed due to lack of evidence, so we agree with you.”
“How do you catch such a fanatic child, and besides, the United States withdrew from Afghanistan?”
Then, Jennifer ran a new video, and facial recognition was applied to high-definition CCTV data to find the subject.
“This is a scene that captures Nasir al-Hadi entering China via Pakistan.”
“Did China know the identity of this friend?”
“No, China accepted the terrorist information we provided and found it.”
The next video was played by Regina, but it was a normal CCTV, not found by artificial intelligence through facial recognition like in China.
“Isn’t this LAX?”
It was a place he used when traveling with his family, so Myeong-sik Han recognized Los Angeles International Airport right away.
“That’s right, this is the supposed screen of Nasir al-Hadi entering the United States.”
“Is this kid in America right now? How did you get in, going through immigration… Ah! Shadow!”
“We are assuming that this man was used to pass through immigration.”
Regina pointed out that the man in the video had completely different expressions and actions, but he was confused while suddenly touching his body in front of the immigration counter.
“It seems that you have moved from here to another shadow.”
At Han Myung-sik’s point, William nodded his head with a serious expression.
“Yes, but unlike the Chinese data, it is only estimated based on body shape, so it is impossible to conclude that it is Nasir al-Hadi based on the screen captured on the airport CCTV.”
“But we have to act with a sense of certainty.”
Colleagues gathered in the situation room couldn’t hide their joy at Myeong-sik Han’s positive attitude, which was different from when he was lost.
After the briefing, William, who moved to the director’s office with Regina and Jennifer, spoke frankly.
“I’m sorry I have to hold you and ask you to deal with it, Mr. Han.”
“Nothing to say, I was worried because I thought I had to go all the way to Afghanistan.”
Haha”
Han Myeong-sik’s jokes made the tense atmosphere lighter.
“Can you catch me?”
“To be honest, you have to meet him to know.”
“Hmm… , It is not yet at the stage of revealing, but the government has a plan to take a more scientific approach to finding psychics.”
“Scientific. What could be more scientific than now?”
“I wonder if there is a specific wavelength or signal unique to psychics, isn’t the United States leading the field of signals and sensors?”
Among science and technology, in terms of military technology, the status of the United States is unmatched, so it is a method that can be tried enough.
“Is that why you’ve been examining Mia for so long?”
“I’d be lying if I said no, but it’s still in the basic research stage, so it was at the level of a detailed physical examination.”
“Isn’t that why I’m also taken to Area 51 and subjected to human experimentation?”
“Are you a friend to be kept quiet?”
“Of course not.”
Haha!!”
It was a pleasant laugh, but it is a moment when you are alert that the United States of America is by no means an object to be taken lightly.
✽✽✽✽✽
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) launched an extensive search on the premise that Nasir al-Hadi was in the United States.
However, since it is a country with more than 330 million people of various races living in the third largest territory in the world after Russia and Canada,
The trail of a single Pakistani smuggler who could hide in the shadows was harder than finding a needle in the sand.
“Ah… It’s difficult, it would be easy to find if facial recognition was used for all citizens like China.”
With Regina and Jennifer, I searched like I did when I was looking for Anna and Erin. When the time to use the ability was over, Han Myeong-sik pushed back the passenger seat and grumbled.
“If a psychopathic supervillain like Nasir Al-Hadi were to overdo it, wouldn’t America be the same?”
As Jennifer, who was sitting in the back seat, pulled out a cold drink from the refrigerated console, Regina shook her head as she stopped her SUV.
“Federal investigators like me might agree because it makes things easier right away, but it will never pass in Congress.”
“Anyway, why is this bastard so quiet?”
“Isn’t it because we strengthened surveillance around mosques in Korea?”
“Is it… , I’m more anxious because the new kid is quiet. Did the CIA find out why Nasir al-Hadi was smuggled into the country?
In response to Han Myung-shik’s question, Jennifer shook her head slightly and sighed.
“Officially, they are mere terrorists, so they are not prioritized, so there will be an uproar that they are rushing into investigations only when there is an incident in Korea.”
“It’s no different than a government official from the world’s most powerful country, is there any information from the NSA?”
“You belong to the Ministry of Defense, so the FBI is in charge of collecting information about Nasir al-Hadi, who has infiltrated the country.”
Regina sighed heavily at the word that she was in charge and shook her head.
“The director put pressure on it, but all that comes out is fake reports that are worse than the YouTube fake video.”
“Isn’t there something like artificial intelligence that analyzes every video uploaded on the Internet?”
“There is nothing as extensive as in China, and in principle, it can be used only within the scope specified in the warrant.”
“So is the CIA?”
When asked with a light kiss, Jennifer let out a sweet breath and shrugged his shoulders.
“The CIA usually handles it before entering the country, so it’s easier not to expect it now.”
“What, then you two are just not helpful other than my bed partner?”
It’s not a wrong point, but the two women were angry because it was a remark that ignored the specific performance of the goal.
“This has some ability and ignores the FBI! Are you bothering me by robbing your company and your family?”
“I’m calling right now and I’m going to fire one hellfire at this car with my drone!”
The content is terrifying, but it’s just fun because it’s a threat that pushes the delicious breasts down.
“Isn’t it enough if it’s okay as a sleeping place?”
“Are we just real sleepovers?”
As Regina whispered as they kissed her with a bewitching smile, Jennifer let out a lovely moan at Myeong-sik Han’s rough touch.
“Ah… Why don’t you tell me you love me?”
“I don’t love you, but do I look like a slut to the point of doing it like that?”
That seems like enough, but Regina and Jennifer are past the point of caring about that.
“No…”
It was a large black SUV commonly used by federal agents in the movie, so there was no problem with the three tall men and women getting tangled up.
Knock Knock Knock
The traffic police knocked on the tinted car windows so that the inside could not be seen from the outside, as if the problem was caused by the car being parked on the side of the road.
“Get out of the car, come on!”
“Ah… I’m sorry, I’m on duty right now.”
As Regina straightened her clothes and rolled down her car window to show her FBI ID, the uniformed cop tilted her head in disapproval.
“How did the FBI know and have already come…”
“Excuse me?”
“You’re here because of the incident in the apartment back here, aren’t you?”
Since it was a case for the local police, it would have been okay to ignore it and leave, but Regina quickly got out of the car, as if something had prompted her.
“What is the case?”
“It looks like the bastard is holding her call girl and holding her hostage.”
‘Hajji’ is an honorific term used for male Muslims who have completed the pilgrimage to Mecca, but it is used as a derogatory term for Arabs, mainly by US soldiers who participated in the war.
Regina and Jennifer didn’t hesitate to pull out their bulletproof vests and start putting them on.
“Why aren’t you wearing them?”
Han Myeong-sik grinned at Regina, who held out a bulletproof vest with the FBI clearly written on the front and back.
“I’m sorry, I’m Han Myeong-sik.”
“I heard you were a military man, so did you come from an alternative service like caring for the elderly? Don’t you know that a bulletproof vest doesn’t just block enemy attacks, it’s the best defense against friendly fire?”
Unlike Han Myeong-sik, who was discharged from active duty, but was in compulsory service, the two super beautiful women in front of him are former officers who volunteered for the US Army and experienced actual combat through overseas dispatch.
“Yes Mem! I will follow your orders!”
They accepted it playfully with a raised salute, but seeing Han Myeong-sik wearing a bulletproof vest obediently, the two women smiled full of love.
However, wearing a 5th generation Glock 19M on his waist and bravely approaching the scene felt a different charm than before.
‘And… ! It’s fucking sexy!’
Their bodies are so voluptuous that watching the holster around their waists sway in sync with the sloshing of their hips in their skinny jeans made my sex drive soar.
“Regina… , Jennifer…”
“Huh?”
“Why, what did you find?”
The two women ahead immediately recognized what Han Myeong-shik wanted by looking at his gaze and facial expression.
“Oh, he looks like this slut… !”
“If you use your abilities now, I’ll scold you!”
Han Myeong-sik, who suddenly came to his senses at Jennifer’s bruise, immediately stopped time.
‘They were so sexy that I forgot I was a psychic.’
I tried to activate the two women, but I headed to the site alone considering the limit of telling the truth to the headquarters.
‘Found!’
A meeting that can never be a coincidence, if God did not induce it, how could it be possible to meet in this way.
It was Nasir al-Hadi who was confronted by two police officers who held a naked white call girl by the throat in the bedroom of a shabby apartment building.
