19-1 Nagini, Bimo's First Target
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ySDSxmbsf
A tall, broad-shouldered man with a buzz cut stood on a rooftop, watching the building across from him.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj4fsUx3sJ
His hands worked deftly, assembling a long-barreled sniper rifle from a black case.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38RaKCb18z
He set the rifle at the edge of the window, barrel pointing toward the opposite building.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w7au1u6ek
Suddenly, his phone rang. The screen displayed one word: Broto.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4go2n0j8jY
Broto: "Hey, Bimo. Are you in position?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc2dtD566i
Bimo: "Yes, Boss."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQLPfhwV5c
Broto: "Do you have visual on the target?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ctKXbgG6
Bimo: "Yes. The target's name is Nagini. She's in the building across, well within my scope."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3he4iYHIyO
Bimo peered through the rifle's scope. Far away, in the opposite building, Nagini was brushing her hair.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloaRjhh4qg
Broto: "Do you see the other target?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA5LYryojZ
Bimo: "You mean Burhan?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJOV26Dogr
Broto: "Exactly."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaEYFHn1pP
Bimo shifted his aim toward the parking area.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSPQFKaqts
There, Burhan had just stepped out of his car and was walking toward the apartment.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygtn6nqTgG
Bimo: "The second target is moving toward the apartment."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EEaIPEX55
Broto: "Wait for the right moment. Then take them both out."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSqSuEGUtK
Bimo: "Understood, Boss."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL5GlsaKmu
Bimo ended the call, refocused, finger resting lightly on the trigger, eyes fixed through the scope.

19-2 Burhan, Bimo's Second Target
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovHFKECZkA
Knock! Knock!
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IlVG9DehH
Burhan rapped on the apartment door. Moments later, it opened.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCanEMxy01
Nagini: "Come in, Burhan."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zOEYdzJP5
Burhan smiled and stepped inside. But something about Nagini felt… off.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjMRsgcwXX
Her hand never left the grip of a slender, deadly No. 3 poisoned needle—the most lethal one she carried.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g37BuIcjj
Burhan: "Nagini, I was thinking of taking you to Taman Mini today."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmu8VwmE37
Nagini: "I know. Give me a moment to get ready."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJVcIo2arV
Burhan noticed her hand starting to glow faint blue. The air inside the apartment grew colder.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXe7wIxxW6
Nagini: "Burhan, get down! Now!"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiASbRw1p6F
Burhan froze, confused. His eyes stayed locked on her glowing hand as the temperature dropped sharply, like ice creeping into every corner.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJNazFpWnc
But then he realized—Nagini wasn't threatening him. She was on alert.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yIXjBg5zx
Without further question, he dropped flat to the floor.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTt6TtOCBf
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
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z1WzIM01Z
Meanwhile…
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWIaOYYmsH
Bimo's eye stayed glued to the scope from across the street.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEhFiE3oC6
Bimo: "Damn it! The second target is behind the wall."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2UJI2cYgP
Through the scope, he could only see Nagini.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEdpgY32XV
Without hesitation, he squeezed the trigger.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4AI4EzTHr
Bang!
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd48r4jaOc
The bullet tore through the air toward Nagini.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XtFhgFZ0W
At that exact moment, guided by an almost supernatural instinct, Nagini flicked her wrist and released the No. 3 poisoned needle.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUVIk7lUju
The needle shot forward, trailing a gust of icy wind.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHmPh2WoIU
Crack!
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qCvzqigG9
The bullet shattered the apartment's window.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpRQ4MvWbe
Blarrr!
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj6VtKtFFb
A sharp spark exploded midair as the poisoned needle collided with the bullet.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VANlxlcSk
Plunk!
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwid0MqBygz
The bullet dropped harmlessly to the floor—barely an arm's length from Burhan's face.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhZl87PTzD
Burhan's eyes went wide. His face turned pale.

19-4 The Sniper Disabled
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ejgq7clfY
From his position, Bimo saw something impossible through the scope.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnQZwZQjab
His sniper bullet—capable of punching through steel—had been deflected by a mere needle.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fwtbwNOX5
Bimo: "No way…"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ou5rzB1eZ
A cold sweat trickled down his forehead. His hands trembled.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrpWsx7e1H
Bimo: "Am I… dreaming?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLK36LaR7E
He quickly readied for a second shot, finger returning to the trigger.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL34Nu52M3
But inside the apartment, Nagini had already swung her hand toward the rooftop where Bimo was hiding.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg90ABvYDgd
Through the scope, he caught a fleeting glimpse of something small streaking toward him.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwaycvwrrF
It moved fast.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U0JPMn344
Too fast.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZwd6qQOF2
Only when it was close did he realize—
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXspDwjJzku
It was a needle.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ma2pA4ofg
Too late!
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtfNxrpKTE
Before he could pull the trigger, the needle struck his neck.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZVmENpSZM
Bimo collapsed instantly, unconscious.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDexhhIjssL
His rifle clattered to the floor beside him.

19-5 Tono Arrives Too Late
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD3BZPyYdJ
Burhan called Tono on his phone.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxKFW9NUrs
Burhan: "Hello, Tono. Can you check the Sari Bahari Building on Tendean Street 3?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sclY9z6vm
Tono: "What's going on, Burhan?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDfc8uPnAR
Burhan: "A sniper just failed to take me and Nagini out."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOZbjWWOvP
Tono was shocked.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU5Nmas8ze
Tono: "Are you both alright?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK0Jf7uUOf
Burhan: "Yes, we're fine."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6hfrJOjQP
Tono: "Alright. We're heading there now."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpoK3kZe45
Burhan: "You've got two hours."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwhXXeTDuO
Tono: "Understood, Burhan."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VKBwB3fDt
Burhan hung up, then turned to Nagini with curiosity.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC8Uw6K1j2
Burhan: "Nagini, how did you do it?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrCtpIIFry
Nagini: "You mean catching the bullet?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ANWIEQE9S
Burhan: "Yeah."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv7sjZ5NQC
Nagini: "It took years of harsh training to reach this stage."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ0240IQ8g
Burhan simply nodded, then changed the subject.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxs5joiZog
Burhan: "Are we still going ahead with our plan to visit Taman Mini?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOmsZdsgSX
Nagini: "Yes, why not?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJnA0XnEBG
Burhan gave a faint smile at Nagini's spirit.

19-6 Capturing Bimo
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsIcodEdVh
From the rooftop, Tono waved at Burhan in the opposite building.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2IvCFZVip
Tono and several members of the Densus 88 unit captured Bimo.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRl9V1XwsB
Suddenly, Tono's phone rang. The screen showed Burhan's name.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWNr0V4AwM
Tono chuckled while glancing at the other building before picking up.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Om3OZ6IzI
Burhan: "Hey, Tono. Make a report for me, will you?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVXwoF9IzJ
Tono: "Sure, Burhan. But you still have to make your own report too."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6aQelGGxt
Burhan: "Of course, Tono. Honestly, I just wanted to take Nagini out for a bit of fun today."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RbSzjpqZW
Tono: "Alright, Burhan. Have a good time."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQgYK392UG

19-7 Sawitri on Nagini's Mind
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcAH0JBeU2
Burhan drove slowly. Nagini sat beside him, watching the road.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl9oesPsTW
Nagini: "Burhan, any news about Sawitri?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBTGSQa1Tj
Burhan: "She's still in Jakarta, Nagini."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDtvGQXwDF
Nagini: "I'm worried about her."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyyq9zHaFA

58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVwOHn2RkC
Nagini: "But, Burhan…"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WpovrtQES
Burhan: "We need the right information before making a move."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacBdDhl7CN
Nagini listened quietly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8suuxQdKeJ
Burhan slowed down as they approached a toll booth. Nagini glanced at a road sign:
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RK8tU2Ykf

17-8 Picnic at Taman Mini
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz9szRhZHV
Taman Mini was bustling with visitors today. Children, parents, and families filled the park—it was Sunday, after all.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fVVAOxc5O
On a park bench in the corner, Burhan and Nagini sat chatting.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cOqLRuPZN
Nagini: "It's so crowded today, Burhan."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9THgczX24r
Burhan: "It is…"

Nagini nodded.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcfQiph8wK
Burhan: "Just like us…"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMctwATXCBH
Nagini smiled and pinched Burhan's waist.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY1QVueJuf
Nagini: "I'm still worried about Sawitri, and here you are joking around."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LDgQXvxcK
Burhan chuckled.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpzTikALnO
Burhan: "When an adult man and woman are together, it means they're dating, right?"

58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CliuIG0cp
This time Nagini couldn't hold back her laughter and pinched Burhan several more times.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDkryK0Zjh
Nagini: "Stop it, Burhan. Quit talking nonsense."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkLR3PmBTV
Burhan grinned mischievously.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUywfedLz3p
Nagini: "Still trying to flirt with an old lady?"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyWhALZF9r
Burhan laughed softly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAxXlsE3Jn
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, Burhan… that's 500 years ago."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujiBZaBKNZ
Burhan smiled faintly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq9sEUViPq
Burhan: "Well, you're a young-looking granny. Any grandson would want to flirt with someone as beautiful as you."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrkfIEiWXj

58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAcZlQSnYi
Although he didn't yet know Nagini's true origins, Burhan took her claim of being 500 years old as a joke.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVKBbcvnDz
As a police officer, he thought logically. Unless there was proof of time travel, he treated it as mere banter.
