19-1 Nagini, Bimo's First Target
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM54NtlZx63
A tall, broad-shouldered man with a buzz cut stood on a rooftop, watching the building across from him.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsuOwJJwo0
His hands worked deftly, assembling a long-barreled sniper rifle from a black case.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWBabRjpKD
He set the rifle at the edge of the window, barrel pointing toward the opposite building.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr7Ju5Q9Oj
Suddenly, his phone rang. The screen displayed one word: Broto.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZPvlgOLBB
Broto: "Hey, Bimo. Are you in position?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aDsQpqcwN
Bimo: "Yes, Boss."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb862tJ7txP
Broto: "Do you have visual on the target?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRe50wUcES
Bimo: "Yes. The target's name is Nagini. She's in the building across, well within my scope."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYFLEF3AA4
Bimo peered through the rifle's scope. Far away, in the opposite building, Nagini was brushing her hair.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQORlRNYhw1
Broto: "Do you see the other target?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQubjf5O1f
Bimo: "You mean Burhan?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRauY65icSw
Broto: "Exactly."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzqb0Abmr3
Bimo shifted his aim toward the parking area.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUa5Yu7nnb
There, Burhan had just stepped out of his car and was walking toward the apartment.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaq8pbomTx
Bimo: "The second target is moving toward the apartment."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynFnGA9KDm
Broto: "Wait for the right moment. Then take them both out."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAosUcx8D3f
Bimo: "Understood, Boss."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVYbi8pUpA
Bimo ended the call, refocused, finger resting lightly on the trigger, eyes fixed through the scope.

19-2 Burhan, Bimo's Second Target
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7BfP0S3uK
Knock! Knock!
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN8lyM6aYY
Burhan rapped on the apartment door. Moments later, it opened.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXWCWE8tUJ
Nagini: "Come in, Burhan."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJdHIajxcf
Burhan smiled and stepped inside. But something about Nagini felt… off.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjspeeFLRE
Her hand never left the grip of a slender, deadly No. 3 poisoned needle—the most lethal one she carried.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmqTCxMhXM
Burhan: "Nagini, I was thinking of taking you to Taman Mini today."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeebBJXC7bV
Nagini: "I know. Give me a moment to get ready."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif8MUvimXR
Burhan noticed her hand starting to glow faint blue. The air inside the apartment grew colder.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ606yPxabVS
Nagini: "Burhan, get down! Now!"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8soluk1jKw
Burhan froze, confused. His eyes stayed locked on her glowing hand as the temperature dropped sharply, like ice creeping into every corner.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJrv3qSPJj
But then he realized—Nagini wasn't threatening him. She was on alert.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsIU4KPEpS
Without further question, he dropped flat to the floor.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvQfKbJ0ez
The poisoned needle in her hand shimmered with an icy blue aura—the sign she was channeling her full inner energy.

19-3 Poison Needle vs. Sniper Bullet
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNv1NXi2s3
Meanwhile…
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLCz5GTeLx
Bimo's eye stayed glued to the scope from across the street.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMEcocMmN7
Bimo: "Damn it! The second target is behind the wall."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xNS2wQtRP
Through the scope, he could only see Nagini.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlZ8EaynbZ
Without hesitation, he squeezed the trigger.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvrTN2hnDk
Bang!
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWpLG8G3xR
The bullet tore through the air toward Nagini.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzqORLFOR6
At that exact moment, guided by an almost supernatural instinct, Nagini flicked her wrist and released the No. 3 poisoned needle.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKwKLALf33
The needle shot forward, trailing a gust of icy wind.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7cdv4deSp
Crack!
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DlbeLOrxx
The bullet shattered the apartment's window.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYPbZV30qZ
Blarrr!
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8CcdmlyCs
A sharp spark exploded midair as the poisoned needle collided with the bullet.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sF4RJR43i
Plunk!
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Mkl0gyHF
The bullet dropped harmlessly to the floor—barely an arm's length from Burhan's face.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH48SWlpKy
Burhan's eyes went wide. His face turned pale.

19-4 The Sniper Disabled
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKgquVSLxD
From his position, Bimo saw something impossible through the scope.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5vIOqGqba
His sniper bullet—capable of punching through steel—had been deflected by a mere needle.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6A9ncscwA
Bimo: "No way…"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkHw50p6YH
A cold sweat trickled down his forehead. His hands trembled.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZNMveSNbI
Bimo: "Am I… dreaming?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50pvlhtfqM
He quickly readied for a second shot, finger returning to the trigger.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWu4nVmEQE
But inside the apartment, Nagini had already swung her hand toward the rooftop where Bimo was hiding.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLKCmyPLDJ
Through the scope, he caught a fleeting glimpse of something small streaking toward him.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4DbJok0JI
It moved fast.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyH7cvNVa6
Too fast.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhCL7rlD6v
Only when it was close did he realize—
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjwG1phLvg
It was a needle.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLo6VaJYTe
Too late!
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOBsvjhyu3
Before he could pull the trigger, the needle struck his neck.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxDVe0K7kd
Bimo collapsed instantly, unconscious.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpoUSJzqzy
His rifle clattered to the floor beside him.

19-5 Tono Arrives Too Late
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOmPZ52sty
Burhan called Tono on his phone.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkpqKCjL4A
Burhan: "Hello, Tono. Can you check the Sari Bahari Building on Tendean Street 3?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jBSy0jEqK
Tono: "What's going on, Burhan?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Hb8M77aj
Burhan: "A sniper just failed to take me and Nagini out."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh2jrQXMO2
Tono was shocked.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZoJqBtLUB
Tono: "Are you both alright?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtAGqjPIj9
Burhan: "Yes, we're fine."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpawEgDA8sC
Tono: "Alright. We're heading there now."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJc70m1Xre
Burhan: "You've got two hours."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNVu9c8bU8
Tono: "Understood, Burhan."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlGacZfNFz
Burhan hung up, then turned to Nagini with curiosity.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjmuZZqntM
Burhan: "Nagini, how did you do it?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYqgITjioz
Nagini: "You mean catching the bullet?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ7CTt8iMV
Burhan: "Yeah."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEU94iKy2P
Nagini: "It took years of harsh training to reach this stage."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAIKRDVhKx
Burhan simply nodded, then changed the subject.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vD8L6uAmB
Burhan: "Are we still going ahead with our plan to visit Taman Mini?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZplZRSGrp
Nagini: "Yes, why not?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b6XmxZutO
Burhan gave a faint smile at Nagini's spirit.

19-6 Capturing Bimo
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TClf7HSDi
From the rooftop, Tono waved at Burhan in the opposite building.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqLKFitUlV
Tono and several members of the Densus 88 unit captured Bimo.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIJu21Hyar
Suddenly, Tono's phone rang. The screen showed Burhan's name.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPaSRQAer3
Tono chuckled while glancing at the other building before picking up.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eHUL2Td34
Burhan: "Hey, Tono. Make a report for me, will you?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h1hlS7sO6
Tono: "Sure, Burhan. But you still have to make your own report too."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlmuS7TNGW
Burhan: "Of course, Tono. Honestly, I just wanted to take Nagini out for a bit of fun today."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60IH3ZJ9Sa
Tono: "Alright, Burhan. Have a good time."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs23cigfqJ

19-7 Sawitri on Nagini's Mind
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlAJiFjQFs
Burhan drove slowly. Nagini sat beside him, watching the road.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWyjplOFsa
Nagini: "Burhan, any news about Sawitri?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN39bVdZry
Burhan: "She's still in Jakarta, Nagini."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9NRd263xv
Nagini: "I'm worried about her."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmVKb4FA7D

38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNMQi4GXhQ
Burhan: "We need the right information before making a move."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwyy26aRGo
Nagini listened quietly.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFDGsVQrhn
Burhan slowed down as they approached a toll booth. Nagini glanced at a road sign:
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EeMq80RGa

17-8 Picnic at Taman Mini
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQwa6QGKbz
Taman Mini was bustling with visitors today. Children, parents, and families filled the park—it was Sunday, after all.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH0SStnkEa
On a park bench in the corner, Burhan and Nagini sat chatting.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUVRGjc4MG
Nagini: "It's so crowded today, Burhan."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ff2bml20p

Nagini nodded.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65oPUzwUBT
Burhan: "Just like us…"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyJPXUOhzZ
Nagini smiled and pinched Burhan's waist.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSml14CUPoX
Nagini: "I'm still worried about Sawitri, and here you are joking around."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzubkmebFQB
Burhan chuckled.

Burhan: "When an adult man and woman are together, it means they're dating, right?"

38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElp18APJns
This time Nagini couldn't hold back her laughter and pinched Burhan several more times.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FJwYSMwN1
Nagini: "Stop it, Burhan. Quit talking nonsense."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGlHnDYxm7
Burhan grinned mischievously.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5OF3H118Y
Nagini: "Still trying to flirt with an old lady?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8jDseez1t
Burhan laughed softly.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mP1llaMh5
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, Burhan… that's 500 years ago."
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhv9Eb5L6G
Burhan smiled faintly.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cr2NVKC6j
Burhan: "Well, you're a young-looking granny. Any grandson would want to flirt with someone as beautiful as you."

Although he didn't yet know Nagini's true origins, Burhan took her claim of being 500 years old as a joke.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrH4jCmK0Q
As a police officer, he thought logically. Unless there was proof of time travel, he treated it as mere banter.

38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPdVclUVQ2
