The day passed like that. I spent the whole day on a few other little rules, touring the Bureau, and eating.
Even if it was the Bureau, lurking in the shadows of the world, a rookie agent had nothing much to do. That's just how the world works.
Anyway, let's go home and get some car quotes. Since it'll be the first car of my life, I'll choose carefully. What kind of car would I have to buy to hear the "for that money, you could've gotten something better" line?

Meeting Sal-hyung might be dangerous, but there was no harm in getting it first.

Then if he was the great hero of the Islamic world, was he basically like al-Qaeda or Osama bin Laden? Thinking about it that way, Sal-hyung definitely seemed like a dangerous man. So that was why kids admired Osama bin Laden the most. That must have been why he kept trying to get up the 63 Building...
