Chapter 155 I should be completely under the sofa~I shouldn’t be here~…

From the perspective of an agent, both Rei Furuya and Keimitsu Morobushi were already sufficiently alert: Rei Furuya eliminated all tracking or eavesdropping factors on the way here, and Keimitsu Morobushi naturally knew his safe house well and would not allow any accidents to happen.

However, common sense would have prevented them from imagining that the bedroom trash can would be the player's teleportation point, where a raccoon would be refreshed every day as a guest. Not only was that raccoon fast and agile, but its stealth skills were also incredibly high, allowing it to easily infiltrate any heavily guarded institution in the world without them even noticing its breathing or heartbeat.

In short, it was natural that they could not detect Chaomu's presence. When the raccoon quietly sneaked into the living room and crawled under the sofa with her tail in her arms, neither of the two people who were talking noticed her presence.

She listened attentively to their conversation for a while, and the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong: she really shouldn't be here, but under the car... but under the sofa should also be considered under the car...

With the intelligence branch, serious players are always very perceptive. Naturally, they can hear that the two people in the conversation are definitely not the "colleagues with little interaction" that Shuichi Akai knew. There is a sense of familiarity and tacit understanding between their words.

The dark-faced man above had already finished a whole carton of yogurt. "Regarding the follow-up issues regarding the Hundred Ghosts Society, I've summarized the intelligence I've gathered. Traditional Yakuza organizations often contain extremists who believe in supernatural powers. A small group seems to be planning to launch a terrorist attack during this period to commemorate their leader and young master."

"...It's possible they were funded and instigated by others... Let's raid and capture a few of the main instigators first... and then divide and conquer the rest..."

"Indeed... security..."

They were indeed careful enough. Even in such an environment, they kept their voices low to prevent the walls from having ears. But they didn't know whether the walls had ears or not. The raccoon under the sofa had its ears perked up. Not only did it hear it with both ears, but the more it listened, the more it felt something was wrong.

...Aren't they the sniper and intelligence officer of the evil Black Organization? Why does the angle of this discussion always feel a bit odd?

There was nothing wrong with discussing intelligence about the Hundred Demons Society, but the angle from which they discussed it didn't seem like that of members of an evil organization: they didn't discuss how to kill people, cause trouble, or fight for power, but rather topics like raids and arrests, and urban security... These issues sounded more like something the cops would discuss.

朝暮越听越觉得不太对味儿, 刚刚想义愤填膺冲出去把小黑脸揍一顿的心思也暂时被压下了。她点开自己的系统任务列表,熟练地打开了之前刚解锁的那个支线。

[In-depth! Black Organization's undercover agent!]

This side quest was triggered after Akai Mimi's real name was released (?). She took a closer look this morning and found out that it was a faction quest, and the progress was stuck at the [Free Exploration] stage.

The game's missions lack any guidance until key milestones are reached, making them a bit too free-flowing. At first, Chaomu wondered if this side quest was meant to help Mimi continue her undercover work, getting deeper into the organization. But on second thought...could it also be about "getting to know the organization's undercover agents more deeply"?

Her understanding of Mimi was quite deep, and the Black Organization seemed to be quite large, with FBI undercovers and possibly other undercovers as well...

...Foster father... Is it possible that Midorikawa-kun is also an undercover agent? It seems possible.

Chaomu recalled their previous interactions and replayed the relevant episodes. It seemed as if some minor details could confirm this: in a sense, Midorikawa Kei did seem to have a certain... "serious" aura about him, similar to the one Mimi had revealed yesterday after she confessed. He didn't rob convenience stores, didn't eat free meals, didn't collect protection money, and didn't seem to be very skilled at seduction (though perhaps that was his selling point). He would sometimes help cats and dogs...

All in all, if someone said that Midorikawa Kei was actually an undercover police agent, she wouldn't seem to be very surprised.

But the little black-faced guy he was talking to was different. She always felt that the dark aura emanating from him came from the inside out, and he didn't look like a good person at all - even though Amuro Toru was discussing with Midorikawa Kei in a very serious tone that she had never heard before about how to intercept some members of the Hyakkikai and send them for trial before the organization intervened, she found it hard to believe that this guy was really a good person.

...And are there really that many undercover characters? She's only encountered a few Black Organization NPCs so far. Couldn't they all be undercover except Gin? That number is way too high!

Impossible! It absolutely couldn't be! There had to be something fishy going on here—based on Chaomu's extensive gaming experience, someone was bound to defect midway or something unexpected would happen.

She silently questioned this curious question and kept it in mind. The two suspicious members of the organization above were communicating very efficiently. They had already systematically finished discussing the issues related to the Hundred Demons Society and shifted the topic to "Rum".

"Ever since the last mission ended... I heard that both Gin and 'that person' seem unhappy with Rum." Midorikawa Kei whispered on the sofa. "There's been some rumors from the operations team that Rum's actions deviated from 'that person's' intentions..."

"The orders he issued do seem to have some problems... at least they are not entirely based on the interests of the organization." Another pair of familiar and flashy leather shoes stepped across the floor. They must have been throwing away the trash. Chaomu heard the sound of a cardboard box falling into the trash bag. "This may be our chance, Hiro. At least it is very important to me..."

"'That' is gradually losing trust in Rum, and sending me back to work with Gin and Vermouth is one of the signs. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to make further progress..."

...This sounds even less decent.

Chaomu secretly tickled him under the sofa.

She listened carefully and roughly summarized that the organization was currently divided into two factions. It seemed that Toru Amuro's original direct superior was not very loyal and had made many small moves to defect, so the organization boss was also on guard against him. This direct superior had previously intervened in the affairs of Councillor Fujita and handed him over to the Italian Mafia, who was also an ally of the Black Organization... I think it was called the Jesso Family?

She was about to ask Squalo online about the Jesso family, but the next second, she heard a more familiar name.

"'That person' is paying a lot of attention to the Vongola lady this time... maybe that's one of the factors." Amuro Toru's voice rose slightly as he spoke of this topic. "The original ally seems to have ill intentions, so the organization is just planning to buy one more share... Did you see Gin's expression the other day? After Vermouth asked him that question, his face was... tsk tsk."

Vongola... Vongola's "big lady".

It took Asamura a second to react to the name, realizing belatedly that it was referring to her. However, neither Midorikawa Kei nor Amuro Toru knew that this so-called Vongola lady was actually her... hence the tone of their discussion, as if they were discussing a stranger.

In this context, players always feel a subtle joy of having won back a city: although her adoptive father hid many things from her, she has now discovered them, while her sockpuppet has not yet been discovered by him! She wins!

With this strange joy, she continued to eavesdrop, wanting to hear how they discussed the Vongola lady. It must be very cool. After all, she had killed through the Hundred Demons Society. The neon underworld must have left a legacy of players.

"...Actually, there's no need for special arrangements...There are quite a few members without code names in the organization who are...eager to try." Midorikawa Jing sighed, "There aren't many code name members who have that idea. For example, Gin isn't too happy about this mission."

"Gin doesn't say anything, but that Lei is probably not going to behave himself." Amuro Toru snorted, "That guy seems to have a flexible bottom line, and he might take the initiative to attack."

The little raccoon's ears stood up like antennae under the sofa. "Ley? Isn't that Mimi's code name? Why are we talking about Mimi again?"

She listened carefully, and after understanding, she gradually relaxed: from what they said, it seemed that the organization was planning to win over the Vongola as an ally, and some of them wanted to start with her... Oh, here the player seemed to be playing a role similar to Ms. Shimizu.

It seemed that Gin was ordered to "play with" Mimi, while Toru Amuro was saying that Mimi was restless and might take the initiative to seduce her - he was right, Mimi really did it, the young lady was very satisfied, and made an appointment with him to come again next time.

However, it was obviously impossible for these two members of the organization to know this. Midorikawa Kei's voice seemed to carry a hint of helpless smile: "Zero really doesn't like Mr. Moroboshi... But then again, you seem to be planning to try... to try this breakthrough?"

The little raccoon's ears popped up again.

Is Toru Amuro trying to seduce her too? Although the black-faced guy has a very evil personality, he is indeed beautiful. If he really wants to seduce her, she might as well give him a try...

However, the idea of ​​using her as a breakthrough point to conquer the Vongola was obviously wrong. She had no involvement in family affairs at all. She was beaten every time she went back. She was just a nominal eldest daughter and had no Vongola bloodline. Moreover, she felt that her senior brother was also a decent person. As a mafia member, he was in the gray camp. Most likely, he would not associate with a purely black faction like the Black Organization.

But this did not prevent her from accepting the efforts of the little black face - when the player thought about the little black face trying hard and then finding out that all his efforts were in vain, she could not help but let out an evil laugh in her heart, and felt quite comfortable.

She wagged her tail happily twice, intending to hear what Little Black Face had to say.

Above, Amuro Toru's words were exactly as she expected: "You can give it a try, but I don't intend to delve into Vongola-related matters. That's not our area of ​​work... The relationship between Vongola and 'us' is different from that of the Black Organization."

"But I'm not a member of the action team, so I might not be considered a 'playmate,'" he paused, thoughtfully saying, "but you, Hiro, if she comes looking for you..."
