19-1 Nagini, Bimo's First Target
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BowEcCffY
A tall, broad-shouldered man with a buzz cut stood on a rooftop, watching the building across from him.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNpXVAjRMx
His hands worked deftly, assembling a long-barreled sniper rifle from a black case.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4hDmRcdpw
He set the rifle at the edge of the window, barrel pointing toward the opposite building.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIiAP6SxOa
Suddenly, his phone rang. The screen displayed one word: Broto.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3kWntasyj
Broto: "Hey, Bimo. Are you in position?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NdSqG7pdt
Bimo: "Yes, Boss."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPdHjD8ecU
Broto: "Do you have visual on the target?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYbL5ciy51
Bimo: "Yes. The target's name is Nagini. She's in the building across, well within my scope."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPbfkTaFat
Bimo peered through the rifle's scope. Far away, in the opposite building, Nagini was brushing her hair.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfbgSTks8e
Broto: "Do you see the other target?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6VqSpQqbc
Bimo: "You mean Burhan?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIz5u4ZzK2
Broto: "Exactly."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdrz7Y7iQq
Bimo shifted his aim toward the parking area.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxny8A97dMF
There, Burhan had just stepped out of his car and was walking toward the apartment.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbkdRej7rh
Bimo: "The second target is moving toward the apartment."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyzaZjZ7Xz
Broto: "Wait for the right moment. Then take them both out."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpT1XwcY6v
Bimo: "Understood, Boss."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAmapFUbHm
Bimo ended the call, refocused, finger resting lightly on the trigger, eyes fixed through the scope.

19-2 Burhan, Bimo's Second Target
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiKo43SmqN
Knock! Knock!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGva4NfpyLA
Burhan rapped on the apartment door. Moments later, it opened.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubFOOIe2vC
Nagini: "Come in, Burhan."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGACNqF6vt
Burhan smiled and stepped inside. But something about Nagini felt… off.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNytR9YV9I
Her hand never left the grip of a slender, deadly No. 3 poisoned needle—the most lethal one she carried.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5T7amcIc5
Burhan: "Nagini, I was thinking of taking you to Taman Mini today."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRIr1cS1qk
Nagini: "I know. Give me a moment to get ready."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9T8UVlmgs
Burhan noticed her hand starting to glow faint blue. The air inside the apartment grew colder.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10A4gNLQr2
Nagini: "Burhan, get down! Now!"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDllIfqscY
Burhan froze, confused. His eyes stayed locked on her glowing hand as the temperature dropped sharply, like ice creeping into every corner.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS1kgqK3pE
But then he realized—Nagini wasn't threatening him. She was on alert.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9jIHhrISG
Without further question, he dropped flat to the floor.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAqXSIFWhP
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
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N7FqGj3AE
Meanwhile…
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOpJiZqW3a
Bimo's eye stayed glued to the scope from across the street.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELRHAZP1kJ
Bimo: "Damn it! The second target is behind the wall."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNrkrHPIRe
Through the scope, he could only see Nagini.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe3bsczYyC
Without hesitation, he squeezed the trigger.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnQ2r1613T
Bang!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4tKU3Sr7f
The bullet tore through the air toward Nagini.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJREmqudo7o
At that exact moment, guided by an almost supernatural instinct, Nagini flicked her wrist and released the No. 3 poisoned needle.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93XXuq8jlb
The needle shot forward, trailing a gust of icy wind.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKtLzmSi0K
Crack!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KV2U0JNHH
The bullet shattered the apartment's window.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASBHT0TrOH
Blarrr!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ny7PrLiH
A sharp spark exploded midair as the poisoned needle collided with the bullet.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvscTqHML0
Plunk!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9bHzPnrzc
The bullet dropped harmlessly to the floor—barely an arm's length from Burhan's face.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm9Et3yO1S
Burhan's eyes went wide. His face turned pale.

19-4 The Sniper Disabled
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZklM5KozOe
From his position, Bimo saw something impossible through the scope.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCjS69EyLs
His sniper bullet—capable of punching through steel—had been deflected by a mere needle.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5g8qa2yVF
Bimo: "No way…"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n3x2RqJQZ
A cold sweat trickled down his forehead. His hands trembled.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmEXMhB8xX
Bimo: "Am I… dreaming?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaUhIsSYNv
He quickly readied for a second shot, finger returning to the trigger.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwJwrdWZa7
But inside the apartment, Nagini had already swung her hand toward the rooftop where Bimo was hiding.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CTYTx1z9f
Through the scope, he caught a fleeting glimpse of something small streaking toward him.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7BQ8cTTyq
It moved fast.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5kYGh3bR3
Too fast.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNNZzg3wy9
Only when it was close did he realize—
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xgolwHE0I
It was a needle.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdpmHQTbdP
Too late!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpCSMVowao
Before he could pull the trigger, the needle struck his neck.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYwzwTi0Jp
Bimo collapsed instantly, unconscious.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3NJ9rM9xG
His rifle clattered to the floor beside him.

19-5 Tono Arrives Too Late
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGFHteGeJ6
Burhan called Tono on his phone.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB14hmZLFY8
Burhan: "Hello, Tono. Can you check the Sari Bahari Building on Tendean Street 3?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTiTyvLaXu
Tono: "What's going on, Burhan?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6HRDhDV57
Burhan: "A sniper just failed to take me and Nagini out."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L8HRcZWff
Tono was shocked.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmqtHpCIKk
Tono: "Are you both alright?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr2O2u23w6
Burhan: "Yes, we're fine."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTNraEUvDh
Tono: "Alright. We're heading there now."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiffWHHBca
Burhan: "You've got two hours."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMogyWP1X89
Tono: "Understood, Burhan."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErQbONzCog
Burhan hung up, then turned to Nagini with curiosity.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQRSBJDOjv
Burhan: "Nagini, how did you do it?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf7O3O2GPI
Nagini: "You mean catching the bullet?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhWS79rlId
Burhan: "Yeah."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bqisTLNFx
Nagini: "It took years of harsh training to reach this stage."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKPueYGo8m
Burhan simply nodded, then changed the subject.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT8ocXGkld
Burhan: "Are we still going ahead with our plan to visit Taman Mini?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi32PaFimTz
Nagini: "Yes, why not?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfVJx8IEZB
Burhan gave a faint smile at Nagini's spirit.

19-6 Capturing Bimo
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03r91NoxcI
From the rooftop, Tono waved at Burhan in the opposite building.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlClkqTDbz1
Tono and several members of the Densus 88 unit captured Bimo.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHneod0JYd
Suddenly, Tono's phone rang. The screen showed Burhan's name.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3QWfxEydS
Tono chuckled while glancing at the other building before picking up.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1DAQH07bi
Burhan: "Hey, Tono. Make a report for me, will you?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8FgAGm1nE
Tono: "Sure, Burhan. But you still have to make your own report too."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgen5jAbRK
Burhan: "Of course, Tono. Honestly, I just wanted to take Nagini out for a bit of fun today."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrgoGsYHA3
Tono: "Alright, Burhan. Have a good time."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrrONqsT9z

19-7 Sawitri on Nagini's Mind
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9lturLMBS
Burhan drove slowly. Nagini sat beside him, watching the road.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBME9ailFG
Nagini: "Burhan, any news about Sawitri?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufr1x1gt5R
Burhan: "She's still in Jakarta, Nagini."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC1eBd0zbO
Nagini: "I'm worried about her."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJwTlacrpb
Burhan: "I am too, Nagini."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscDhIKlEF1
Nagini: "But, Burhan…"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD4yJNxeJp
Burhan: "We need the right information before making a move."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEkDuCwAfx
Nagini listened quietly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP2zpqJtmF
Burhan slowed down as they approached a toll booth. Nagini glanced at a road sign:
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzgbM1ougn

17-8 Picnic at Taman Mini
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAxnidDVpu
Taman Mini was bustling with visitors today. Children, parents, and families filled the park—it was Sunday, after all.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfaHk3bDJ7
On a park bench in the corner, Burhan and Nagini sat chatting.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJrhmFqlJO
Nagini: "It's so crowded today, Burhan."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGPY9kzB6E
Burhan: "It is…"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiIbMRNi89
Nagini: "I like watching the little kids play…"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡippz2pGw2t
Burhan: "And the teenagers on their dates…"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJegH8FbnB
Nagini nodded.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3ueVvD3q0
Burhan: "Just like us…"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3riIOkHKk4
Nagini smiled and pinched Burhan's waist.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i8NnO7OpY
Nagini: "I'm still worried about Sawitri, and here you are joking around."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFcgF4jSg8
Burhan chuckled.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTTN9m3rl8
Burhan: "When an adult man and woman are together, it means they're dating, right?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgRqC4TKjO

60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1gqXtFjAI

60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzpNkTITqt
This time Nagini couldn't hold back her laughter and pinched Burhan several more times.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNhcbU2yuj
Nagini: "Stop it, Burhan. Quit talking nonsense."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYPOSzPK9v
Burhan grinned mischievously.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2QwheIb2Y
Nagini: "Still trying to flirt with an old lady?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4i7QB92vS
Burhan laughed softly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2jmq98HSA
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, Burhan… that's 500 years ago."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nTnGumydq
Burhan smiled faintly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoFoJbMJCg
Burhan: "Well, you're a young-looking granny. Any grandson would want to flirt with someone as beautiful as you."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEN00UMPLH
Nagini laughed heartily.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SEmf8GLvh
Although he didn't yet know Nagini's true origins, Burhan took her claim of being 500 years old as a joke.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbINyKlhuDw
As a police officer, he thought logically. Unless there was proof of time travel, he treated it as mere banter.

Burhan: "Second, if someone sent a sniper, it means we're marked for elimination…"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1DBHdqDuw
Nagini listened intently.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO0iXbglxC
