Recently, Tokyo Nichiuri TV host Yoko Okino conducted an exclusive interview. Her interviewee was the renowned private detective and special consultant to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department...
But can this method of clearing the level really be copied, or rather, can it not be changed?
Several players team up to enter the game, embark on an adventure, and ultimately have to sacrifice one player to complete the game.
Where is the game experience for the one who was sacrificed?
This is a game, not a movie script!
What about players who don't want to team up and prefer to solo dungeons?
Does pulling Jack off the train count as passing the game or failing?
"You mean..." Yoruichi Toyama speculated, thinking about all this, "that we shouldn't even go to the final step?"
"Don't give Jack a chance to grab any passengers, whether players or NPCs, or..."
"Should we just prevent him from getting on the train?"
"I think the best way is to catch him when he goes to the opera house to plant the bomb."
Wisely and decisively spoke, a hint of a smile seemingly rising in his voice.
"Prevention is better than cure, Yuanshan, isn't that what you're best at?"
...
"Is Mr. Takato familiar with that detective Toyama?"
Instead of answering the question directly, Vermouth asked a question in return.
Gao Yuan shrugged, and his usually calm expression changed slightly.
"I should say it's more like we don't fit in..." he muttered, his tone sounding like a complaint.
Absinthe chuckled softly.
"This is the first time since we started talking that I've seen Mr. Gao Yuan in such a difficult situation."
"No, I have no intention of inquiring about things that Mr. Gao Yuan is unwilling to mention. I just want to say that since you are dressed up as that detective, you must also know about the circumstances surrounding my... or rather, 'Lan Zexi's' return to the Lan Ze Group?"
Gao Yuan raised an eyebrow, as if he had realized something.
"You mean, the son of that real estate developer who's using the identity of 'Mitsui Fumiya'? You discovered he wanted to use Lanze Qian's identity to get into the Lanze Group, and you took advantage of that opportunity?"
"Pretty much," Vermouth smiled and winked, "just a little different in chronological order."
"What first caught my attention, or rather the organization's attention, was that 'King Sisa' who acted like a ghost on the internet and attracted a lot of people from all walks of life."
The organization called "Black" aims to control society through violence, terror, and tyranny.
Of course, he couldn't tolerate anyone inciting others or recruiting members in front of him.
Vermouth was thus ordered to investigate the background of "King Sisa".
Compared to this almost omnipotent intelligence officer, the guy impersonating "Mitsui Fumiya" was nothing more than a small fry compared to a big fish.
His background, including his grudges with the Aizawa Group, and the fact that he may have killed the real Mitsui Fumiya before taking his place, was quickly investigated by Vermouth.
His special attention to a certain high school girl also caught the attention of Vermouth.
On the other hand, as Absinthe half-jokingly confessed, the organization's funding was actually not very generous.
So much so that occasionally someone would joke about Gin's outfits and car, which he hadn't changed in ten years, saying that he was a model of frugality in the organization.
Absinthe didn't mention who said that.
Gao Yuan silently suspected that it was actually herself.
In short, the "mere few billion" assets of Lanze Group mentioned by Gao Yuan are still quite a relief for the organization.
To keep an eye on the "King of Xisa" who is spreading rumors and sowing discord right under the organization's nose, and to take the opportunity to enter the Lanze Group, and even to take over the entire group's business and assets in the near future, is to kill two birds with one stone.
Sending the real Lan Zexi to the United States while she herself convincingly plays the role of a young girl under 20 was, for Vermouth, who was well-versed in this art, the easiest part.
In other words, Vermouth had already taken advantage of Mitsui Fumiya long before he began his revenge and money-making scheme using Aizawa Akane.
He himself still didn't understand what had happened after being kicked out of the game and sold to the police.
"A tragic end caused by inflated selfishness and overestimation of one's abilities!" Gao Yuan sighed softly. "They really don't deserve any sympathy at all."
Vermouth gave him a serious look.
"I thought Mr. Gao Yuan would say that if you had planned everything for him, he would have gotten what he wanted."
“I’m good at exploiting the ‘evil’ side of human nature,” Gao Yuan said, “but the premise is that my ‘puppet’ will not be swallowed up by that kind of pointless, ugly desire.”
"If he only wanted revenge for his father and business partners who were treated unfairly, rather than coveting the Lanze Group's assets, then he would have had countless opportunities when he was the personal physician of the chairman of Lanze."
"So, for that kind of person, 'revenge' is just a grand excuse. His real intentions are no different from those of a bank robber."
"Even the 'Puppet Master of Hell' can't do anything about a heart that has been corrupted by money!"
Gao Yuan gave a sarcastic, cold laugh and spread his hands.
"At most, it will only make him see hell sooner."
When he said this, his tone wasn't one of regret, but rather of pleasure.
Vermouth's gaze deepened as she looked at him.
"This is also why I invited Mr. Gao Yuan on behalf of the organization."
"'An ordinary murderer'? No, you are not."
"You are a philosopher who understands human nature and a designer of feasible plans."
“In today’s organizations, there are too many people who are good at taking action, but too few who are good at strategy.”
Gao Yuan listened with great interest, as if he were deep in thought.
"However, I heard that Gin..."
