19-1 Nagini, Bimo's First Target
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7QPHubxmS
A tall, broad-shouldered man with a buzz cut stood on a rooftop, watching the building across from him.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTjHBoPJmv
His hands worked deftly, assembling a long-barreled sniper rifle from a black case.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuRlBLfuhz
He set the rifle at the edge of the window, barrel pointing toward the opposite building.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQzameR5A3
Suddenly, his phone rang. The screen displayed one word: Broto.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ive6beIhD
Broto: "Hey, Bimo. Are you in position?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7RoBMiOu6
Bimo: "Yes, Boss."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60nzBsyM0q
Broto: "Do you have visual on the target?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp4mbj4bSS
Bimo: "Yes. The target's name is Nagini. She's in the building across, well within my scope."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoo0IMgFAn
Bimo peered through the rifle's scope. Far away, in the opposite building, Nagini was brushing her hair.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTKbfu2yid
Broto: "Do you see the other target?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhenrKKk91
Bimo: "You mean Burhan?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvABawS1sZ8
Broto: "Exactly."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWhNyvxiOV
Bimo shifted his aim toward the parking area.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fxyB7DIeY
There, Burhan had just stepped out of his car and was walking toward the apartment.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJjaEOcedH
Bimo: "The second target is moving toward the apartment."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ToEM0yzoi
Broto: "Wait for the right moment. Then take them both out."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPqyvUjR59
Bimo: "Understood, Boss."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNonszJmXL
Bimo ended the call, refocused, finger resting lightly on the trigger, eyes fixed through the scope.

19-2 Burhan, Bimo's Second Target
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tZsf7NqFj
Knock! Knock!
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSmEVCVUny
Burhan rapped on the apartment door. Moments later, it opened.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9B4EIkuGr
Nagini: "Come in, Burhan."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyI2ESBlqZ
Burhan smiled and stepped inside. But something about Nagini felt… off.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnRjrVw3M3
Her hand never left the grip of a slender, deadly No. 3 poisoned needle—the most lethal one she carried.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlssim1I5V
Burhan: "Nagini, I was thinking of taking you to Taman Mini today."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPWGhDBkva
Nagini: "I know. Give me a moment to get ready."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCC6kVMGu8
Burhan noticed her hand starting to glow faint blue. The air inside the apartment grew colder.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd6C6Nxf3G
Nagini: "Burhan, get down! Now!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJdYFv8J2D
Burhan froze, confused. His eyes stayed locked on her glowing hand as the temperature dropped sharply, like ice creeping into every corner.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGZnU7EPE8
But then he realized—Nagini wasn't threatening him. She was on alert.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS4CNLZrv3
Without further question, he dropped flat to the floor.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEK2MKXqnF
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
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPtkWNKRMf
Meanwhile…
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04JZUYJL1
Bimo's eye stayed glued to the scope from across the street.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAB6MeudoL
Bimo: "Damn it! The second target is behind the wall."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaRrvpZqeq
Through the scope, he could only see Nagini.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy3L1C19Nk
Without hesitation, he squeezed the trigger.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisjxBa0RBz
Bang!
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM6LTxEDfK
The bullet tore through the air toward Nagini.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkgqtdoBLV
At that exact moment, guided by an almost supernatural instinct, Nagini flicked her wrist and released the No. 3 poisoned needle.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKu7Y9BbSD
The needle shot forward, trailing a gust of icy wind.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk8apfWXpA
Crack!
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbsHLY5WDL
The bullet shattered the apartment's window.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhUsvCkk5j
Blarrr!
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6YGZZ6gOo
A sharp spark exploded midair as the poisoned needle collided with the bullet.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYrIrT6wPv
Plunk!
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM87p5gm20h
The bullet dropped harmlessly to the floor—barely an arm's length from Burhan's face.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGdTBQc7wf
Burhan's eyes went wide. His face turned pale.

19-4 The Sniper Disabled
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7BSp4HGBq
From his position, Bimo saw something impossible through the scope.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU9DCHi98h
His sniper bullet—capable of punching through steel—had been deflected by a mere needle.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewfqkDRT9z
Bimo: "No way…"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGSIouKbGr
A cold sweat trickled down his forehead. His hands trembled.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBlxQPw9s4
Bimo: "Am I… dreaming?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gdc1CZ0Lt
He quickly readied for a second shot, finger returning to the trigger.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2wjSJYiVF
But inside the apartment, Nagini had already swung her hand toward the rooftop where Bimo was hiding.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JRhv0AFTm
Through the scope, he caught a fleeting glimpse of something small streaking toward him.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7VXCsIBJS
It moved fast.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCKo6zOeSO
Too fast.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIJ0slc2WN
Only when it was close did he realize—
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD7OnLHAIc
It was a needle.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnheGhmemXY
Too late!
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwEbZUsMqh
Before he could pull the trigger, the needle struck his neck.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHLEUpWDN0
Bimo collapsed instantly, unconscious.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze9LPCk2a8
His rifle clattered to the floor beside him.

19-5 Tono Arrives Too Late
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr24bgyKCaU
Burhan called Tono on his phone.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB07pNJeG0
Burhan: "Hello, Tono. Can you check the Sari Bahari Building on Tendean Street 3?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4cNRXtdCC
Tono: "What's going on, Burhan?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeb5Qp2ScS
Burhan: "A sniper just failed to take me and Nagini out."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuixlwoRhx4
Tono was shocked.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElJQXa2f86
Tono: "Are you both alright?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP08NIlOSel
Burhan: "Yes, we're fine."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFGOyKpIBJ
Tono: "Alright. We're heading there now."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiat9Z4Qd3
Burhan: "You've got two hours."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6opQb72U5y
Tono: "Understood, Burhan."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNuaIaxwHh
Burhan hung up, then turned to Nagini with curiosity.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg12zSIumP
Burhan: "Nagini, how did you do it?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBsX8oeo2z
Nagini: "You mean catching the bullet?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4seAPOdBE
Burhan: "Yeah."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw8rphYNUW
Nagini: "It took years of harsh training to reach this stage."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MkYP5p9p6
Burhan simply nodded, then changed the subject.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZd1FXPzOK
Burhan: "Are we still going ahead with our plan to visit Taman Mini?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFY8p9U195
Nagini: "Yes, why not?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrxP956u0E
Burhan gave a faint smile at Nagini's spirit.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNwop34wW4
From the rooftop, Tono waved at Burhan in the opposite building.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJDRuyZTJk
Tono and several members of the Densus 88 unit captured Bimo.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJLcuDqepc
Suddenly, Tono's phone rang. The screen showed Burhan's name.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ck0Wswh8j
Tono chuckled while glancing at the other building before picking up.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvkcrmf2d5
Burhan: "Hey, Tono. Make a report for me, will you?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9CF6GtTzo
Tono: "Sure, Burhan. But you still have to make your own report too."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVa9Tqx8L6
Burhan: "Of course, Tono. Honestly, I just wanted to take Nagini out for a bit of fun today."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqzNkqiSUb
Tono: "Alright, Burhan. Have a good time."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4BkjZIMjt

19-7 Sawitri on Nagini's Mind
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwCPytm3Lm
Burhan drove slowly. Nagini sat beside him, watching the road.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyDC86EFW7
Nagini: "Burhan, any news about Sawitri?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLmvksXLtO
Burhan: "She's still in Jakarta, Nagini."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXk7ygePzr

Burhan: "We need the right information before making a move."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuqYByVS0z
Nagini listened quietly.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6JoQDFMI9
Burhan slowed down as they approached a toll booth. Nagini glanced at a road sign:

17-8 Picnic at Taman Mini
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MlsSTeYCX
Taman Mini was bustling with visitors today. Children, parents, and families filled the park—it was Sunday, after all.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dyXmoieAA
On a park bench in the corner, Burhan and Nagini sat chatting.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhFmZutVqB

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQkaTLGP1e
Burhan laughed softly.

Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, Burhan… that's 500 years ago."

Although he didn't yet know Nagini's true origins, Burhan took her claim of being 500 years old as a joke.
