19-1 Nagini, Bimo's First Target
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3IT1Yw2Vv
A tall, broad-shouldered man with a buzz cut stood on a rooftop, watching the building across from him.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyhG4H6vP7
His hands worked deftly, assembling a long-barreled sniper rifle from a black case.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2EHixPu1f
He set the rifle at the edge of the window, barrel pointing toward the opposite building.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVh6z5pPmH
Suddenly, his phone rang. The screen displayed one word: Broto.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC07YCPDgz
Broto: "Hey, Bimo. Are you in position?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGaH3rBf9t
Bimo: "Yes, Boss."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCuSeLkbOm
Broto: "Do you have visual on the target?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWAENqayHE
Bimo: "Yes. The target's name is Nagini. She's in the building across, well within my scope."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu41vskMVy
Bimo peered through the rifle's scope. Far away, in the opposite building, Nagini was brushing her hair.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLYqrqs9cL
Broto: "Do you see the other target?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmoieoiNzJ
Bimo: "You mean Burhan?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Qrg49UWB
Broto: "Exactly."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewIeRckcdR
Bimo shifted his aim toward the parking area.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29kkn7uY0A
There, Burhan had just stepped out of his car and was walking toward the apartment.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPsSjBjIUc
Bimo: "The second target is moving toward the apartment."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hYqtQhCyi
Broto: "Wait for the right moment. Then take them both out."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEBwrFBbg9
Bimo: "Understood, Boss."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTvTlMAo93
Bimo ended the call, refocused, finger resting lightly on the trigger, eyes fixed through the scope.

19-2 Burhan, Bimo's Second Target
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f4aAixzLW
Knock! Knock!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfEvhIdIPJ
Burhan rapped on the apartment door. Moments later, it opened.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrYGP4PgF1
Nagini: "Come in, Burhan."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5yjELUxXX
Burhan smiled and stepped inside. But something about Nagini felt… off.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99VDbjmyKU
Her hand never left the grip of a slender, deadly No. 3 poisoned needle—the most lethal one she carried.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWQRqrO7tt
Burhan: "Nagini, I was thinking of taking you to Taman Mini today."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaVmaHoH7Q
Nagini: "I know. Give me a moment to get ready."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9ZiDfDEBp
Burhan noticed her hand starting to glow faint blue. The air inside the apartment grew colder.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIctZTFquYx
Nagini: "Burhan, get down! Now!"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4mGdAbP9E
Burhan froze, confused. His eyes stayed locked on her glowing hand as the temperature dropped sharply, like ice creeping into every corner.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnutCrgFjuS
But then he realized—Nagini wasn't threatening him. She was on alert.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSAl9qxnkm
Without further question, he dropped flat to the floor.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULTsBsuynp
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
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1Nrw7VXgJ
Meanwhile…
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6hD68AXXm
Bimo's eye stayed glued to the scope from across the street.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aoduCky7t
Bimo: "Damn it! The second target is behind the wall."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqUUOGWaCC
Through the scope, he could only see Nagini.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGJzriJl42
Without hesitation, he squeezed the trigger.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohldCAOJ0n
Bang!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuvk9LLxO4
The bullet tore through the air toward Nagini.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQyookRbbG
At that exact moment, guided by an almost supernatural instinct, Nagini flicked her wrist and released the No. 3 poisoned needle.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGEIDQrybk
The needle shot forward, trailing a gust of icy wind.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVXwf19TEY
Crack!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZgtxP64Rr
The bullet shattered the apartment's window.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQVMqAgu4I
Blarrr!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGLmeQh1ap
A sharp spark exploded midair as the poisoned needle collided with the bullet.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL1h1BqJ3g
Plunk!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCcAjtPaIK
The bullet dropped harmlessly to the floor—barely an arm's length from Burhan's face.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg4AVUB8SO
Burhan's eyes went wide. His face turned pale.

19-4 The Sniper Disabled
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNexBjklYz
From his position, Bimo saw something impossible through the scope.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSDV41mKiC
His sniper bullet—capable of punching through steel—had been deflected by a mere needle.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk6MhnKgnx
Bimo: "No way…"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwgQJ9pvEi
A cold sweat trickled down his forehead. His hands trembled.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy3Vvlgrn3
Bimo: "Am I… dreaming?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZU2FfZxSd
He quickly readied for a second shot, finger returning to the trigger.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol6oKgT9Ee
But inside the apartment, Nagini had already swung her hand toward the rooftop where Bimo was hiding.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb2GDgUgau
Through the scope, he caught a fleeting glimpse of something small streaking toward him.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLvLjht2ta
It moved fast.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglgGOhPDbc
Too fast.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj0RanhKFw
Only when it was close did he realize—
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh0pzUKzrb
It was a needle.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2RLiiXxWx
Too late!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WRvBg9hHT
Before he could pull the trigger, the needle struck his neck.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzdkZYtf8E
Bimo collapsed instantly, unconscious.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR846UnUE1
His rifle clattered to the floor beside him.

19-5 Tono Arrives Too Late
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCtN1GIk7C
Burhan called Tono on his phone.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptSHvfBMk3
Burhan: "Hello, Tono. Can you check the Sari Bahari Building on Tendean Street 3?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ96oNIy0g
Tono: "What's going on, Burhan?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrjNAI79rc
Burhan: "A sniper just failed to take me and Nagini out."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbMlAHJfsT
Tono was shocked.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCVpcQYaOx
Tono: "Are you both alright?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TvZMNB8VA
Burhan: "Yes, we're fine."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF47cmTJhDL
Tono: "Alright. We're heading there now."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7GpxKagYr
Burhan: "You've got two hours."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPzO0CuqM2
Tono: "Understood, Burhan."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGAfuZroik
Burhan hung up, then turned to Nagini with curiosity.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39PC1nWxiA
Burhan: "Nagini, how did you do it?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rk221b0J2
Nagini: "You mean catching the bullet?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoFOYwc1at
Burhan: "Yeah."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL8hGEFKgB
Nagini: "It took years of harsh training to reach this stage."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s8ZdE3AQ5
Burhan simply nodded, then changed the subject.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZyPFXcr2Q
Burhan: "Are we still going ahead with our plan to visit Taman Mini?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzpgouHOZn
Nagini: "Yes, why not?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR6K6yyR1s
Burhan gave a faint smile at Nagini's spirit.

19-6 Capturing Bimo
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Bfh1Z3N1
From the rooftop, Tono waved at Burhan in the opposite building.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM77ckI235e
Tono and several members of the Densus 88 unit captured Bimo.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuwAIsq3uN
Suddenly, Tono's phone rang. The screen showed Burhan's name.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01cEeDXjuB
Tono chuckled while glancing at the other building before picking up.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7VRohFMaj
Burhan: "Hey, Tono. Make a report for me, will you?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh60AMjghWJ
Tono: "Sure, Burhan. But you still have to make your own report too."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5xVtJvmwZ
Burhan: "Of course, Tono. Honestly, I just wanted to take Nagini out for a bit of fun today."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttFzUYgk2P
Tono: "Alright, Burhan. Have a good time."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzT54bfL2y

19-7 Sawitri on Nagini's Mind
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaRxwrx7va
Burhan drove slowly. Nagini sat beside him, watching the road.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRb6LQLrJt
Nagini: "Burhan, any news about Sawitri?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLChO5vcDBj
Burhan: "She's still in Jakarta, Nagini."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFhc5vhb0s

98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbPFO1c1EK
Burhan: "We need the right information before making a move."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIlZqWu0tj
Nagini listened quietly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWSpEAcmmj
Burhan slowed down as they approached a toll booth. Nagini glanced at a road sign:
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXgFy0Zzl9

17-8 Picnic at Taman Mini
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfjdCfFCZP
Taman Mini was bustling with visitors today. Children, parents, and families filled the park—it was Sunday, after all.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjqeI6CiZC
On a park bench in the corner, Burhan and Nagini sat chatting.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkWY0fELFH
Nagini: "It's so crowded today, Burhan."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvcdtMnEZn

98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKQMeFd46M

Nagini: "I'm still worried about Sawitri, and here you are joking around."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RU8Ld63yT

This time Nagini couldn't hold back her laughter and pinched Burhan several more times.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54qp31Hc3i
Nagini: "Stop it, Burhan. Quit talking nonsense."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOL2kIxdj0

Nagini: "Still trying to flirt with an old lady?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDveYEyzkY0
Burhan laughed softly.

Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, Burhan… that's 500 years ago."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgk0AqaYce
Burhan smiled faintly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFxJvvUooq
Burhan: "Well, you're a young-looking granny. Any grandson would want to flirt with someone as beautiful as you."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhX3AAo1pw

Although he didn't yet know Nagini's true origins, Burhan took her claim of being 500 years old as a joke.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEt1Ey74N1
As a police officer, he thought logically. Unless there was proof of time travel, he treated it as mere banter.
