Chapter 186 – (Chapter 186) 28. Gift

(Episode 186)

28. Gift

[What is the identity of the target?]

“I haven’t been able to find out because he’s still in a coma.”

At Jennifer Thompson’s answer, Director William Gordon, who was talking on the large screen in the situation room, nodded.

[How is Mr. Han and the special agents doing?]

“The other agents are resting at the inn as instructed, but Mr. Han…”

[Why, what happened?]

“Nothing happened, but after returning to headquarters, we are continuing to guard the target’s bed.”

[The reason is?]

Seeing that she couldn’t bear to express her feelings, Daisy Brown, who was sitting next to her, took her place and explained.

“Mr. Han did not reveal the reason, he was in an unstable state of mind to insist on asking.”

[Hmm… Looking at the situation, I think it might be anger stemming from a sense of fellowship between psychics, but what do you guys think?]

“I agree.”

Only Dai replied, and Jennifer still had her head down, but Commissioner William let it go without questioning it.

[Then, the situation will be sorted out only when the target comes to his senses]

“Yes, Chief.”

[How did you deal with the pirates?]

Jennifer, who was in charge of her job, tried to organize her expression and explained while linking the video.

“Shortly after the HQ agents withdrew after securing the target, the Tier 1 crew took care of all the pirates on site.”

[Damage?]

“No, we have confirmed that everyone has returned to the mothership.”

[Okay, so the joint operation with MI6 is a success. Thank you all for your hard work!]

Daisy spoke first after the video report from the US Navy’s 5th Fleet Command’s situation room to the psychic countermeasures headquarters in Los Angeles, USA.

“Why didn’t you see about me?”

“Myungsik hasn’t said anything yet.”

“You said it was an issue that had to be reported unconditionally?”

“It is.”

Daisy carefully grabbed Jennifer’s arm as she tried to stand up with a reply.

“Mr. Thompson, wait.”

“Why?”

“Some advice…”

Looking at her serious expression, it was clear that Han Myeong-sik was trying to bring up the story she had told her beforehand, so Jennifer sat back down.

“Advice?”

“About Mr. Myung-sik.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if the three of us discussed that matter later?”

“Before that, I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“When she becomes Myeong-shik’s woman, does she really only change her body?”

“Are you worried that free will, such as emotions, will change?”

“Yes…”

“To be honest, I don’t know.”

Daisy was taken aback by the unexpected answer.

“Yes? That… So, is there any influence?”

“That is… I’m not sure if it’s because of my superpowers or if it’s my real feelings.”

“Didn’t you ask Myung-shik?”

“Of course I asked, even after we fell in love, I checked several times, but they said that free will cannot be manipulated.”

“But you still have doubts, don’t you mean you don’t know?”

At Daisy’s point, Jennifer smiled as she remembered the first time she met Han Myeong-shik.

“Do you think I fell in love too quickly?”

“Excuse me… I’m sorry to say this, but…”

“Are you wondering if you can approach it while accepting what role it is?”

“Yes…”

In response to the feeling of love that fills her heart, Jennifer answered with a smile.

“Would you understand if I had a boyfriend I was dating well at the time, but I fell for him out of control?”

“Really… It’s not easy unless you have superpowers.”

“Yes?”

“Is there any way to find out if it’s the effect of psychic powers?”

“If there was, headquarters would have found out, not me.”

“Whew… It does.”

Sighing and patting the disappointed Daisy’s shoulder, Jennifer said with a dazzlingly pretty face.

“I don’t know anything else, but one thing is certain.”

“What is it?”

“If you choose Myungsik, you will never regret it.”

“… !!”

✽✽✽✽✽

Leaving Daisy in trouble, Jennifer headed to the medical unit at the Fifth Fleet Command and saw Han Myung-sik guarding the hospital bed alone, and his heart was moved.

“Mr. Myungsik.”

“Ah… Are you done watching?”

“Yeah, the director wants me to tell him that he suffered a lot.”

Seeing that no one was around, he accepted Jennifer’s pampering by kissing him as she quietly placed her butt on top of his thigh.

“Are there any other instructions?”

“From now on, it depends on how you do it, you can do whatever you want.”

I wasn’t saying it to be nice to hear, but it was an unmistakable fact, so my heart felt a little lighter.

“What do you want me to do?”

“This person?”

“Huh.”

“Aren’t you waiting because there is no danger to your life?”

“It is, but…”

It was frustrating not being able to tell Jennifer, who would be most helpful, what I found out through the status window.

“You’re not making a fuss after coming to your senses with something tied up, right?”

“I feel bad, but we can’t help it until we trust each other.”

At the mention of trust, Jennifer frankly expressed her concerns.

“This man… , What are you going to do if you’re not a bad person?”

“Well…”

He already knew the truth, so he had no answer to give.

“If I get a sex change, will the amputated limbs be restored?”

“Maybe.”

“Aren’t you sure?”

“If you haven’t, it’s almost certain.”

“But… I think it’s because what was there disappears and what wasn’t there is a change.”

Perhaps their friendly voices had an effect, but the dark-skinned man slowly opened his eyes.

“Ah… Female… This is… ?”

Jennifer, who jumped up to get the interpreter, was delighted to see her speak English.

“This is a US military base.”

“Mi… U.S. Army… ?”

“Can you speak English?”

“Yes… So so…”

There were many things to check, but Jennifer called the medical team first and looked closely at the man’s condition.

It was only after additional treatment, a bath, and a meal following the interview, that we were able to meet again in the hospital room and exchange greetings.

“My name is Kumar Yusuf.”

“My name is Jennifer Thompson, a former agent of the American Psychic Task Force.”

At the word ‘psychic’, ‘Kumar Yusuf’ was surprised and blinked his good eyes.

“That… Is there such a place?”

“Yes, and this person, like Mr. Yusuf, is a psychic.”

Han Myeong-shik, who was standing quietly behind him, smiled and nodded his head.

“It’s called Han Myung-sik.”

“Ah… Hello.”

Even the wrists were cut off, so the two psychics of the same age couldn’t even shake hands.

● User: Kumar Yusuf
● Ability: Space Invisibility
● Level : 72
● Applicable range: 12m
● Usage time: 3 hours
● Standby time: 12 hours
● Ability use: Yes

Han Myeong-sik, who checked the contents of the status window again, wanted to make a good impression, so he sat down and looked at eye level.

“You have the ability to make certain space invisible, right?”

“Yes… , How did you know?”

“Our headquarters specializes in this.”

“However… Where did you find me?”

Seeing Kumar Yusuf shed tears as he listened to Jennifer’s explanation of the location and how he found it, Myeong-sik Han tried to console him by pretending to be calm.

“Honestly, I didn’t expect to be used in this way.”

“Article… If only I had come to find it a little earlier… , A little early… Hehe!”

“What happened?”

“Sobbing… My family has been murdered. All of my younger siblings… Ugh!”

Being a man, the things he had to do while holding back his crying were more horrific than the state of his body where his limbs were cut off.

“At first, it must have been difficult to piracy because the range of application of invisibility was not wide.”

It was a question that was asked after he had cried and calmed down a lot, so Kumar Yusuf answered, lifting his severed arm.

“So I made them steal at first.”

“I couldn’t help it because I took my family hostage.”

“Yes, I had no choice.”

“Why didn’t you think of killing the boss?”

Knowing that Han Myeong-sik was saying it out of pity, Kumar Yusuf shrugged his shoulders and let out a bitter laugh, just like his docile personality.

“In preparation for that, they hid the whole family and threatened me. After my parents were killed, I lost all will to resist.”

That’s how they were taken advantage of, receiving terrible threats of being murdered one after another and even physically mutilated.

“Haaa…”

It would be unbelievable if it wasn’t clearly on the status window, so Han Myeong-sik burst into a sigh, while Jennifer and Daisy, who were listening from behind, struggled to swallow their tears.

“What happened to those who used me?”

“All the pirates who were imprisoned, including the boss, have been dealt with.”

Jennifer’s answer surprised Kumar Yusuf and nodded his head resignedly.

“You have been punished…”

“Is there anything in particular you want to avenge?”

Han Myeong-sik’s hard expression and cool voice made Jennifer and Daisy feel eerie, but Kumar Yusuf shook his head with a grin.

“It’s all useless, will the family come back with revenge…”

“But…”

“It is enough that you saved me like this. Did I say thank you?”

He was by no means handsome, but Kumar Yusuf’s scarred face was as bright as his innocent smile.

“Sorry… , I am so sorry that I am late… ! Sobbing”

“Huh… !”

Even Han Myeong-sik couldn’t stand it any longer and hugged Jennifer’s face as she rushed in and hugged him by the neck and burst into tears.

✽✽✽✽✽

“Really? Can you get your limbs back?”

Kumar Yusuf’s eyes widened at the news so surprising that he doubted whether he had heard it correctly.

“But there is a problem.”

Jennifer gave an explanation, but Han Myeong-shik, who sat in the back, was restless with a sense of guilt.

“What’s the matter? Anything is fine, so I’ll take it!”

“Ah… It is not something to be decided so hastily.”

“With a body like this, being used by pirates would be a pleasure, but what would you worry about?”

Kumar Yusuf’s outspoken reply instantly reminded him of an excuse, but Han Myeong-shik seemed to be too presumptuous, so Han Myung-sik kept his mouth shut.

“You remember Mia, Naima, and Marissa when we met and said hello before dinner, right?”

“Yes, Mr. Thompson too, they were all too beautiful to look at properly.”

“Thank you very much, but can you believe it if those three beautiful people were originally men like Mr. Yusuf?”

“Yes?”

Who wouldn’t be surprised to learn that three women who were so pretty and sexy that they fell in love at first sight were men?

“For your information, all of the supernatural powers whose identities have been revealed so far are all 27-year-old males who acquired abilities around the same time.”

“That… But how did she become a woman?”

“It’s all thanks to Ms. Han Myeong-sik here.”

“…”

When Kumar Yusuf looked at him with a surprised expression, Jennifer, who swallowed a laugh at Myeong-sik Han’s reaction with an awkward smile on her face, continued her explanation.

“I’ll be able to explain it in detail later when I’m affiliated with headquarters, so just know that much for now.”

“Ah… Yes… , Then all of them became women for the same reason as me?”

“That’s the point, Mia, Naima and Marisa are different from Mr. Yusuf.”

“How are they different?”

“I used my psychic powers to commit crimes.”

“Psychic powers to crime… , Isn’t it the same for me?”

“Acts under compulsion are not guilty, Mr. Yusuf’s case is especially different.”

That’s why one name is more uncomfortable. It wouldn’t be much better if he had dozens of beauties to help him, but wouldn’t it be better to do the opposite?

“I can see why you are explaining this. After all, you have to become a woman to find your limbs, right?”

Being fluent in English in Somalia, where both Somali and Arabic are spoken, Kumar Yusuf understood the situation quickly and accurately despite his lack of explanation.

“That’s right, I can’t help it because of the limitations of Mr. Han Myung-sik’s psychic powers.”

Although it is different from the actual fact, the word Jennifer mentioned was a word that accurately explained the ability Han Myung-shik displayed on the outside.

“Okay, I will be a woman.”

It had a decisive influence on me to make an important choice that would change my life forever.
