Chapter 250 Pacific Buoys

Day 26 of the Highway Survival Game!

Hagiwara clearly saw what she was thinking, but smiled and said, "Jinpei is here! To commemorate the first day of our relationship, he drove us here today so we can have a secret date."

"Who...who went on a date with you?!" Feng Xingshou's face immediately turned bright red upon hearing this. She stammered as she finished speaking, feeling somewhat puzzled, but once again forgot to deny the fact that she was dating him.

Seeing that she had even forgotten to deny dating him, Hagiwara Fuka stood up from the sofa and took two long strides to Kazesei Mori. His tall and slender figure made him look down at Kazesei Mori, and he slowly lowered his head to kiss her lips again.

He thought this time would be different. The first kiss was punishment for her not cherishing her body, the second kiss was stolen, but this time he was openly kissing the woman he loved; this was a formal kiss to confirm their relationship…

Feng Xingshou felt the soft, warm touch on his lips and froze again, especially when he thought that this was his first love from his youth, and that he truly loved him and was not forcing himself on her because of his current living conditions.

She felt a greater connection than the first time; she couldn't resist Hagiwara's intimate actions, and even involuntarily reached out to grab his coat, letting him stir her as he penetrated deeper...

While Kazesei and Hagiwara were being all lovey-dovey in the room, Matsuda, while driving, said to Morofushi Kagemitsu, "Sigh, I really envy that Hagiwara guy. He can be with the person he likes even in this crappy game."

"If you're so envious, you should hurry up and find a girlfriend. With your stoic face, it shouldn't be hard for you to get one!" Morofushi Kagemitsu teased, adding, "Of course, the prerequisite for success is to change your fierce look, especially stop wearing sunglasses, and smoke less. Nowadays, women don't like men who smoke!"

"Hey! You're even more controlling than your girlfriend these days." Matsuda's relaxed and cheerful tone didn't sound like a complaint at all.

Zhu Fujingguang laughed: "You've already called me Jingdan, of course I have to care! If I don't care, how can I still be Jingdan?"

"Trust your brother and trust your parents, everything will be alright." The two chatted and laughed, but Matsuda, who was bickering, saw the unease under Morofushi Kagemitsu's smile and comforted him, "The worst that can happen is we'll find an even earlier dungeon."

"Yes! Don't worry!" Morifushi Kagemitsu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Matsuda continued to comfort him: "We'll be able to go back tomorrow, right? We'll see then whether we succeeded or not, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what it's like when we get back."

After all, if it could change the fact that your parents are dead, the situation of Akai Tsutomu's fate being unknown, and the safety of so many passengers on the subway.

I think that the history of so many deaths has been altered, and it will definitely have a huge impact on the future. We'll understand what changes and impacts have occurred once we get back.”

"Um!"

.

The next day, when the group entered the instance again, it was already the sixth April of 2015. Perhaps those in the know were waiting for this day to arrive. This time, they entered the instance, and before they could even take in the environment, they were already inside.

Morofushi Kagemitsu rubbed his forehead, frowned slightly, and then looked surprised and said, "It really works. The past has changed. Another life experience appeared in my mind, the life experience of my parents who were not killed by Tomoichi."

As he spoke, he recalled another memory in his mind. In this memory, his parents were not killed when he was seven years old. Instead, he found out in advance that the female classmate was feeling unwell and took her to inform his father so that his father could take her to the hospital.

After that, everything went on as usual. The little girl didn't die, and neither did her parents. However, Oni Shouichi died in an accident on his way to the hospital to take care of his daughter.

Of course, in this future, he was not sent to live with relatives in Tokyo, nor did he become childhood friends with Zero. But fate is strange; during his university years, he and Zero still entered the same university and became good friends.

He also passed the entrance exam for the police academy and joined the public security force. What happened afterward was just like his previous experience. It felt like an alternative fate of self-repair, treating the change as a slight setback before returning to the original state.

On the other side, Hagiwara and Matsuda also had another set of memories in their minds, but their memories did not change much, except for the subway accident they encountered when they were seven years old.

Aside from the fact that they never encountered it, the subway accident became a police bomb disposal incident, and they mysteriously lost more than ten minutes of memory, then it was just the original experience they had already gone through...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shuichi Akai—no! I should say Lei—touched his forehead, feeling the extra memories, his expression a mixture of joy and strangeness, thinking that they had succeeded.

However, this success felt somewhat subtle. In his memory, his father had not disappeared or been missing, but had resigned from his job as a British agent 17 years ago, secretly joined the organization, and quickly became a cadre within it.

He joined the organization as a second-generation member because of his father, and now he has become the organization's Lai again, still holding the same codename, but because of his father.

Whether it was the effect of fate's correction, or something indirect, that led him to become an undercover agent within the organization's FBI, this was a subtle shift for Shuichi Akai.

But at the same time, he also realized a crucial point from this change, because his father was a collaborator in the organization...

On the other side, Gin was about to sneer. He was experiencing the new memories and thought about how the fat pig had rarely spoken when they last met. He realized that she was feeling guilty at the time.

I guess he's decided to take new action because of the Symbiosis Cult, and he's been keeping it from me. Fine, next I'll confront him and ask him directly what he's hiding. Hmph! o(￣ヘ￣o＃)

Only Shinichi Kudo looked completely bewildered. What was going on with the memories in his mind? Why did he have a memory of being poisoned by a mysterious organization, his body turned into a child, and him hiding behind his girlfriend, Detective Kogoro Mouri, to investigate the organization?

In one memory, he was neither poisoned nor clashed with the organization, and he was still the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era. What is the origin of all these memories?

For some inexplicable reason, another memory surfaced in Shinichi Kudo's mind: a scene captured on his cell phone that was nothing short of magical, supernatural, and unbelievable. His intuition told him that everything must be related to that scene.

If that's true, then Mr. Amuro Tooru, who works in Polo, might actually be a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. If we go there and ask him, maybe the truth will come out. But given Mr. Amuro Tooru's personality, would he tell me?

As Ran Mouri experiences the memories resurfacing in her mind, she wonders if she's dreaming. Why is there a child in her dream who looks so much like Shinichi, and why are there so many strange cases? Now, the memories she experienced with Conan Edogawa have all turned into memories she experienced with Shinichi. What's going on?

.

Only Kazesei, whose memories remained unchanged, looked at Hagiwara and the others with a blank expression. They asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with you guys?"

Hagiwara quickly told Kazesei-no-Kami about the changes in each of their memories.

"Your memories have all changed? Then won't my brother's memories also change accordingly? Won't he guess that I lied to him?" Feng Xingshou felt very strange, and then immediately felt guilty, almost shouting out in panic.

The thought of the consequences of her brother discovering her lie immediately sent cold sweat down Feng Xingshou's forehead and soaked her back. She panicked at the thought of being scolded by her brother.

On the other side, Hagiwara and the others heard Fuusei Moriya's worries and thought of Akai Shuichi's father, Mr. Akai Tsutomu, who was able to deduce such important information from just a little bit of information provided by Matsuda.

Even if he hadn't taken any action against the organization in the past seventeen years, he would probably have done something else. What kind of impact would that have? The group couldn't estimate it, but they could all guess.

This influence will definitely form another memory in Gin's mind. When he and his party arrive at this instance, he will receive a memory and know that Fuu-chan has been hiding something from him. How will he explain it to him then? To what extent will he explain it?

The three looked at each other, and after a while, Hagiwara actually said directly to Kazesei no Kami, "If your brother asks, then just tell the truth about me."

"Tell the whole truth?" Matsuda and Morofushi Kagemitsu were shocked. Given Gin's ruthless nature, he wouldn't show any mercy even if his brother-in-law was a policeman!

Moreover, they initially contacted Rei Furuya. Once Hagiwara's identity is exposed, Furuya will definitely be in danger and will be silenced by Gin, right?

In response, Hagiwara said, "But I'm already officially dating Fuu-chan, and I don't want to have irreconcilable conflicts with my future brother-in-law, nor can I let Fuu-chan know that we'll be exposed."

Because I repeatedly lied to her older brother, and besides, I've already come up with a reason to ensure my brother-in-law won't suspect anything in the future, so that Kofuruya won't be affected.

Last night, he wasn't just focused on his date with Kaze-chan; he also carefully considered Kaze-chan's future, how to face his future brother-in-law, and how to tell her the truth. He had already figured out a way to confess his feelings without implicating Jinpei, Furuya, and Morofushi...

Upon hearing his reason, all three fell silent. Indeed, they had already officially confirmed their relationship; how could he deceive his lover's brother?

However, after thinking about it, Feng Xing Shou said, "Should we be completely honest? Hmm, let's see how things go. We don't know how much change will occur here. Let's wait and see!"

Hearing her say that, the group stopped discussing the topic and continued, "Then let's take a look at the environment of this instance first, and contact you again after we figure it out."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Matsuda finished speaking, their phones rang one after another. They all picked up their phones at the same time, and each phone displayed a different caller ID.

“It’s my future brother-in-law!” Hagiwara waved his phone at Fuusei-no-Kami.

Morofushi Hiromitsu smiled as he held up his phone: "It's Zero!"

"This is Mr. Shuichi Akai." Matsuda couldn't help but think to himself, "What a coincidence."

Only Feng Xing Shou, watching this scene, couldn't help but complain, "How did they manage to make such a coincidence? Forget it, I'd better answer the phone first. I... I'll go check out the environment of this instance!"

Given my current mental state, if I were to talk to my brother, he would definitely notice my guilty conscience. It would be better to avoid him for now and wait until my guilty conscience has subsided before talking to him.

"Okay! But be careful not to go to dangerous places." Even though he knew that Kazeki was alone in the instance dimension and wouldn't get hurt, Hagiwara still gave him a word of advice while answering the phone. At the same time, he avoided Matsuda and Morofushi and headed towards a more spacious and deserted place.

Matsuda and Morofushi probably knew that it would be better for the three of them to make a phone call together at this time, or to find a quiet place to talk alone. So the three of them consciously walked in other directions and answered the call as they walked.

.

Meanwhile, after leaving the group, Feng Xingshou looked around at the surroundings and saw that the place was very spacious and bright, with soft lighting. It looked like a very high-tech and well-decorated large unit.

Unlike many small and exquisite wooden buildings in Japan, they had never seen such a spacious place before, even in the twin towers built by the Tokiwa Group. They were a little curious: Where in Japan was this? Why was there a building more spacious than the Tokiwa Tower?

As she pondered this, she looked around, but as she looked, she noticed something strange: no matter how spacious, luxurious, or high-tech the building was, she couldn't find a single window.

She walked for quite some time without finding the boundaries of the instance or its exit, which surprised her greatly. She decided to go back and discuss it with Qiu Qiuyuan and the others, so she turned around and started walking back.

Five or six minutes had passed since the dungeon ended. When she returned from the dungeon, she saw Hagiwara. They had just hung up the phone. Upon seeing them, Kazesei quickly explained her discovery.

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Hagiwara waved his phone first: "Don't worry, my future brother-in-law has already located this place by tracking my phone. It's a place near a buoy in the Pacific Ocean, and they will be here soon."

"A Pacific buoy?" Feng Xingshou asked curiously, adding, "Didn't our previous dungeons always go through Japan? How come it seems like we've ended up in the Pacific Ocean this time?"

Upon hearing this, Matsuda and Morofushi Kagemitsu also looked at Hagiwara with curiosity. After all, at the age when the accident happened, when they were rescued by Kazesei no Kami and put in the car, they had never heard of this Pacific Ocean buoy, nor did they know of its existence.

Seeing that neither of them knew either, Hagiwara relayed what Gin had told him to the others: "My future brother-in-law said that this Pacific buoy was built in recent years and was officially completed this year."

An underwater project built jointly by the United States and several other Western countries and Japan in the Sea of ​​Japan uses the low temperature of the seabed to cool servers that are connected to the public surveillance networks of the participating countries.

Through these networks and the systems built by their Pacific-based engineers, criminal activity within the surveillance camera coverage areas of participating countries can be effectively monitored, thereby reducing crime rates in each country.

"Several countries jointly built it and linked their public networks together? Doesn't that mean that within this system, each country can view the specific information of other countries?"

Aren't you afraid of any security incidents? What if there are spies?" Hearing this, the group looked at each other in bewilderment. Feng Xingshou was also somewhat confused and asked incredulously.

He thought to himself, "People in China have never thought of handing over their country's public security monitoring system to others. What if something like espionage happens?"

How could those national leaders agree to build such a system? Weren't they afraid that their country's secrets would be leaked by this system?

Moreover, according to Hagiwara, this system was built by people of different nationalities and is now managed by people of different nationalities. Aren't they worried that people of different nationalities would steal secrets from other countries for their own national interests?

The last list issue was the same, the current Pacific buoy issue is the same, and this time it's the system issue... Why do these foreign countries always have such strange policies?

Just as Feng Xingshou was thinking these things with a sense of unease, Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at Feng Xingshou and asked curiously, "Feng-sang! Why are you even more surprised than us? Is this a public construction project undertaken by an international joint effort?"

You must have heard some information about this in the future, right? Why do you seem to know absolutely nothing about this Pacific buoy construction?

“I haven’t heard of it. It’s probably because the Central Plains Kingdom wasn’t involved in this project. If the Central Plains Kingdom wasn’t involved, it certainly wouldn’t be widely publicized domestically.” Feng Xingshou shook his head upon hearing this.

Matsuda, standing nearby, couldn't help but complain: "Without the participation of the Central Plains Kingdom, what kind of Pacific buoy is that? Moreover, the construction of such a project poses a huge threat to national security. How did the higher-ups approve this kind of project?"

"What will they do? Do you even need to ask? They'll do all sorts of strange things, and what policies? As long as it benefits them, they won't consider the country or the people at all."

Who knows what kind of shady dealings are hidden behind this? "The more Hagiwara learns about his country's official system during his repeated dungeons, the more disappointed and disgusted he becomes with Japan's existing system. However, he is not the type to say these things out loud."

So she quickly changed the subject and said, "Besides, the reason why Feng-chan hasn't heard of it in the future is probably because this building is a classified facility, and judging from our presence here, it's clear that this place is about to suffer a catastrophe of destruction. That's probably why Feng-chan hasn't heard of it, right?"
