19-1 Nagini, Bimo's First Target
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oqNxNtkO6
A tall, broad-shouldered man with a buzz cut stood on a rooftop, watching the building across from him.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgzvhapAjT
His hands worked deftly, assembling a long-barreled sniper rifle from a black case.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyM19TySfs
He set the rifle at the edge of the window, barrel pointing toward the opposite building.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2mlb3Wxuf
Suddenly, his phone rang. The screen displayed one word: Broto.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKT6t3hwiF
Broto: "Hey, Bimo. Are you in position?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqsKweD4AV
Bimo: "Yes, Boss."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEwE1UMBp2
Broto: "Do you have visual on the target?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfcisYYtki
Bimo: "Yes. The target's name is Nagini. She's in the building across, well within my scope."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA4YejP2uR
Bimo peered through the rifle's scope. Far away, in the opposite building, Nagini was brushing her hair.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDTwHEvNQs
Broto: "Do you see the other target?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV07d4lqqEt
Bimo: "You mean Burhan?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzLph6eMp8
Broto: "Exactly."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV7aijljf4
Bimo shifted his aim toward the parking area.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1kvzTeAtS
There, Burhan had just stepped out of his car and was walking toward the apartment.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HaF5YNP5F
Bimo: "The second target is moving toward the apartment."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKw2cPKDRi
Broto: "Wait for the right moment. Then take them both out."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayb43blL07
Bimo: "Understood, Boss."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjWjYlrIC4
Bimo ended the call, refocused, finger resting lightly on the trigger, eyes fixed through the scope.

19-2 Burhan, Bimo's Second Target
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgvIyl6bJs
Knock! Knock!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUHOEjvYag
Burhan rapped on the apartment door. Moments later, it opened.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3HwMcB2UK
Nagini: "Come in, Burhan."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhoGpro9Sv
Burhan smiled and stepped inside. But something about Nagini felt… off.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwR3PcGtBM
Her hand never left the grip of a slender, deadly No. 3 poisoned needle—the most lethal one she carried.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1hzEnm74k
Burhan: "Nagini, I was thinking of taking you to Taman Mini today."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssD6IxXWPX
Nagini: "I know. Give me a moment to get ready."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDSqUfSNZe
Burhan noticed her hand starting to glow faint blue. The air inside the apartment grew colder.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGG23zzyiP
Nagini: "Burhan, get down! Now!"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGroN5MtfS
Burhan froze, confused. His eyes stayed locked on her glowing hand as the temperature dropped sharply, like ice creeping into every corner.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT6eMoiIC7
But then he realized—Nagini wasn't threatening him. She was on alert.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMiCluJwoU
Without further question, he dropped flat to the floor.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxa4PU2eW7
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
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg3fpOJS9G
Meanwhile…
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAwMcN4Ibq
Bimo's eye stayed glued to the scope from across the street.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxn9mt7R3C
Bimo: "Damn it! The second target is behind the wall."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCQo099vHF
Through the scope, he could only see Nagini.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNktYFddt2P
Without hesitation, he squeezed the trigger.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pnkVUIgHn
Bang!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCUcrCjMPi
The bullet tore through the air toward Nagini.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5maTEtGk7d
At that exact moment, guided by an almost supernatural instinct, Nagini flicked her wrist and released the No. 3 poisoned needle.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiPKrcyTPR
The needle shot forward, trailing a gust of icy wind.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc8mmbuwGH
Crack!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtYNZKB5eP
The bullet shattered the apartment's window.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLt3EEii05
Blarrr!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxNr9UD4n3
A sharp spark exploded midair as the poisoned needle collided with the bullet.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0AcBmeRwg
Plunk!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjLJVbBysX
The bullet dropped harmlessly to the floor—barely an arm's length from Burhan's face.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHHY2IHAud
Burhan's eyes went wide. His face turned pale.

19-4 The Sniper Disabled
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJVtvXB5Fu
From his position, Bimo saw something impossible through the scope.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KhmU2d4Ky
His sniper bullet—capable of punching through steel—had been deflected by a mere needle.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6GXuxiXpG
Bimo: "No way…"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BpSyZw2t7
A cold sweat trickled down his forehead. His hands trembled.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEYRM0l760
Bimo: "Am I… dreaming?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0USLFsOCf7
He quickly readied for a second shot, finger returning to the trigger.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUd21BLIWs
But inside the apartment, Nagini had already swung her hand toward the rooftop where Bimo was hiding.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19QZgRJP04
Through the scope, he caught a fleeting glimpse of something small streaking toward him.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHh8ekuYUx
It moved fast.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Be48vTVSe
Too fast.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFSTBe8DB5
Only when it was close did he realize—
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBjn7jgCIm
It was a needle.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWEsOgsQXj
Too late!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKhVQZSu2g
Before he could pull the trigger, the needle struck his neck.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bhbB4E9n6
Bimo collapsed instantly, unconscious.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpQCAHFb0X
His rifle clattered to the floor beside him.

19-5 Tono Arrives Too Late
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmilmdXazH
Burhan called Tono on his phone.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWuZ3SVJuP
Burhan: "Hello, Tono. Can you check the Sari Bahari Building on Tendean Street 3?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb9iZNNpq7
Tono: "What's going on, Burhan?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowUVJuA0o9
Burhan: "A sniper just failed to take me and Nagini out."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnfKQVX95y
Tono was shocked.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c4C2aEbRy
Tono: "Are you both alright?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfK1Sosjsd
Burhan: "Yes, we're fine."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ld0WEJVIG
Tono: "Alright. We're heading there now."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDemXLVkx6v
Burhan: "You've got two hours."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hT6l6trv9
Tono: "Understood, Burhan."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ROvuGNPJ4
Burhan hung up, then turned to Nagini with curiosity.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQINk0fL0aC
Burhan: "Nagini, how did you do it?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqNEihjX7Z
Nagini: "You mean catching the bullet?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR8fiy6hHS
Burhan: "Yeah."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAux0NAlS0
Nagini: "It took years of harsh training to reach this stage."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhIhVnlyyH
Burhan simply nodded, then changed the subject.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjzFzXgatc
Burhan: "Are we still going ahead with our plan to visit Taman Mini?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNktsx8Bu7b
Nagini: "Yes, why not?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZJELDG4Ud
Burhan gave a faint smile at Nagini's spirit.

19-6 Capturing Bimo
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOS03Ewc29
From the rooftop, Tono waved at Burhan in the opposite building.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx51g37v53Z
Tono and several members of the Densus 88 unit captured Bimo.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl3f5fomDK
Suddenly, Tono's phone rang. The screen showed Burhan's name.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EeVXeJ71r
Tono chuckled while glancing at the other building before picking up.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkKRSMLhH5
Burhan: "Hey, Tono. Make a report for me, will you?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMYGAF5i5n
Tono: "Sure, Burhan. But you still have to make your own report too."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI4iHr9pyX
Burhan: "Of course, Tono. Honestly, I just wanted to take Nagini out for a bit of fun today."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKjLFnJ6ba
Tono: "Alright, Burhan. Have a good time."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSzW156tjC
Tono hung up.

19-7 Sawitri on Nagini's Mind
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPXqg566CG
Burhan drove slowly. Nagini sat beside him, watching the road.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGlwB54uo2
Nagini: "Burhan, any news about Sawitri?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevYgvdX8Ax
Burhan: "She's still in Jakarta, Nagini."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HIapUdy71
Nagini: "I'm worried about her."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAcl1dx1xm
Burhan: "I am too, Nagini."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sekn2llgh
Nagini: "But, Burhan…"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYdDjNEkXg
Burhan: "We need the right information before making a move."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NYUTxs2cp
Nagini listened quietly.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0UV9CW2C7
Burhan slowed down as they approached a toll booth. Nagini glanced at a road sign:
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN3EFdd2p8
Exit 500 m

17-8 Picnic at Taman Mini
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPZFXCTpP1
Taman Mini was bustling with visitors today. Children, parents, and families filled the park—it was Sunday, after all.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOw3hlRVNe
On a park bench in the corner, Burhan and Nagini sat chatting.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gOfnxTQO0
Nagini: "It's so crowded today, Burhan."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqzV8myBpQ
Burhan: "It is…"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZl0nQEPod

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkyq9O28LK
Burhan: "And the teenagers on their dates…"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx50VMZqPz
Nagini nodded.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNG1pF60WF
Burhan: "Just like us…"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKJpLqgNK3
Nagini smiled and pinched Burhan's waist.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KQeO136A3
Nagini: "I'm still worried about Sawitri, and here you are joking around."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgheuSIvtXx
Burhan chuckled.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUPEPSNMHU
Burhan: "When an adult man and woman are together, it means they're dating, right?"

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO2c4rqNDX
Burhan: "If not dating, then married…"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdPEA1y0jQ
This time Nagini couldn't hold back her laughter and pinched Burhan several more times.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDL6ejrb8l
Nagini: "Stop it, Burhan. Quit talking nonsense."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOWKGlGzzA
Burhan grinned mischievously.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQGdtX53n3
Nagini: "Still trying to flirt with an old lady?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgxYZHt8TA
Burhan laughed softly.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKL3fsvYC
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, Burhan… that's 500 years ago."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknOueAhydM
Burhan smiled faintly.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGHVNXDjj3
Burhan: "Well, you're a young-looking granny. Any grandson would want to flirt with someone as beautiful as you."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKFeyN8kxj
Nagini laughed heartily.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbb2BZAIqa
Although he didn't yet know Nagini's true origins, Burhan took her claim of being 500 years old as a joke.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEaLcq5rmi
As a police officer, he thought logically. Unless there was proof of time travel, he treated it as mere banter.

As noon approached, Burhan and Nagini searched for a restaurant to refuel.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgqm6zhDl4
Nagini: "After lunch, let's go straight home, Burhan…"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvuU7r1VB9

Burhan nodded.

Nagini: "And, Burhan…"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzmVy2DBP2

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpc6WS009d

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9TgvTVRsF
Nagini: "Right."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgA3IE36kH

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiKe3v61Lc
Nagini listened intently.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjquwuIj3p
Burhan: "There could be a follow-up plan. They might send another assassin after us, Nagini…"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3xzsM5sok
Nagini began to grasp Burhan's theory.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE0RfQrqiO
After lunch, Burhan took Nagini out of Taman Mini and headed for the parking lot.
