Chapter 33 Research Objects [VIP]
That evening, Cheng You had only planned to update the facial recognition system again, but he unexpectedly discovered a familiar face in the surveillance footage. Even though the footage was blurry, he was certain that the person was traitor N.
He won't admit his mistake. Traitor N is about to reach the south gate of the amusement park.
So, the people from the research institute were hiding in plainclothes in the amusement park. Cheng became vigilant and knew he had to get the information before the traitor N handed over the information to the people from the research institute, and give Morofushi Kagemitsu and his men enough time to kill the traitor N.
Cheng looked out the window and noticed a few people heading towards the south gate, but their actions seemed normal, like they were tired from playing and heading home. Perhaps one or two people from the research institute were mixed in with them. He wondered if Morofushi Kagemitsu and his companions could see anything amiss.
Just to be on the safe side, Cheng You still sent a message to Morofushi Kagemitsu: [Cheng You: Target spotted. Hope your companions don't notice me.]
[Zhu Fu: Good.]
After confirming the location and some of the people at the research institute, Cheng You immediately took action. He changed into a tracksuit, looking like a young college student going out for a night run, and warmly greeted the other elderly people who were out for a walk.
As Cheng approached the south gate of Youyou Amusement Park, he spotted the traitor N in disguise from afar. How could he get close without arousing suspicion?
This was another test of his acting skills! Cheng You mentally rubbed his hands together, opened his fitness app, turned on some exercise music, did a quick warm-up, and then ran towards the south gate.
After pinpointing the location of traitor N, Cheng ran closer while pretending to be distracted by looking at his phone.
The next second, Cheng "accidentally" bumped into traitor N, who was looking around nervously. The "accident" was too forceful, and traitor N slipped and fell to the ground.
Cheng was taken aback and quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I was just distracted."
Traitor N angrily berated Cheng You, and Cheng You noticed that the other party's hand touched his chest almost imperceptibly.
At the same time, the other person breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness..."
So that's where it was.
Cheng scratched the back of his head sheepishly and reached out to help traitor N up. But traitor N snapped out of his reverie about the documents and noticed the person who had suddenly appeared.
[Could this person be from the Black Organization...? No, impossible. How could the organization have someone who looks so frail?]
Cheng You: I knocked you down, and you still think I'm weak and frail? Okay, thanks for clearing my name, haha.
Although the other person glared angrily at Cheng You, they still put their hand on Cheng You's hand. Just as they were about to help him up, Cheng You slipped again, but it was understandable because there was a banana peel under his feet for some reason.
Traitor N lay sprawled on the ground, unable to contain himself as he yelled, "Baka!"
"Ugh, how come there's a banana peel here? How annoying!" Cheng You said, trying to sound innocent, and reached out to pull the other person up again.
Traitor N no longer trusted him and dusted off his sleeves, preparing to get up.
Cheng You turned his body to the side. In the dim light, the traitor N couldn't see that he was holding a small USB drive. Cheng You immediately inserted the USB drive into his phone to read the data. Although it was an encrypted USB drive, a few minutes would be enough for Cheng You to crack it. His eyes were fixed on the content being read, and the content was read line by line at lightning speed. An ordinary person would not be able to see what was on it at all.
"..." Cheng You frowned and glanced at it a few times. There were indeed secrets about the black-clad organization's occupied areas, as well as the research institute's territory and their research reports.
However, it mentions someone who had previously collaborated with the research institute. This person provided the institute's boss with information about gangs, which enabled their organization to grow rapidly.
Cheng silently typed code, deleting the potentially threatening information from the USB drive's data.
"Tsk." Traitor N dusted himself off, looked around to make sure no one he knew had seen him fall in such a disheveled state, and then pretended to be dignified as he straightened his clothes.
Cheng glanced at his phone. Thanks to the acceleration effect of the program he designed, the data had already been read. He smiled and walked towards traitor N, feigning surprise: "Oh! That's terrible, your butt is covered in dust."
"What?!" Traitor N was shocked, and turned around awkwardly and angrily to brush off the dust.
Cheng took the opportunity to get closer to the other person, pretending to brush the dust off their waist, and casually returned the USB drive.
"How about I compensate you for the cost of your clothes..."
"You'd better get out of here, you're so annoying." Traitor N looked displeased. He knew the people from the research institute would be coming to pick him up soon, but he wondered if the Black Organization had already laid an ambush.
"Okay, I'll be going then. I'm really sorry." Cheng You turned around with an awkward smile. The instant he turned, his expression turned serious. He reached into his pocket, found his phone, and started typing blindly to send a message to Morofushi Hiromitsu: [Cheng You: Done.]
Let the winery and the research institute fight it out.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Cheng You ran two more laps around the amusement park, and afterwards felt noticeably refreshed.
Double the joy – a liberation of both mind and body!
Humming a little tune, Cheng You returned to the hotel, took a nice bath, enjoyed a delicious meal, and sent the information he found from the traitor N's encrypted USB drive to Morofushi Hiromitsu, deliberately deleting the information about Matsukawa Yukiki and Cecil's cooperation.
Cheng You didn't want Matsukawa Yuki's disguise to be exposed again. If they found out his real identity, it would be terrible, although the chances of that happening were slim.
Shuichi Akai was engrossed in cleaning his beloved gun, while Hiromitsu Morofushi stood guard by the window and observed him. He clearly saw Cheng You take action, silently obtaining the USB drive from the traitor N. The other party's movements were skillful, indicating that he had done this many times before.
When Cheng Youyou returned the USB drive, he also received a message from the other party. Morofushi Kagemitsu immediately turned around to pack his things and said to Akai Shuichi, "They've appeared. The target is at the South Gate."
"Try to communicate with him and get the information. I'll find a place to snipe him. If you can kill him directly, that would be even better, but it's not very safe that way." Akai Shuichi carefully put the gun into his bass bag.
"Me?" Zhu Fujingguang raised an eyebrow.
“You have a kind face and a gentle voice. Even if you threaten him with a gun, it’s hard for people to think you’re some kind of vicious criminal. You’d be quite suitable to go undercover in the police force,” Shuichi Akai said, sizing him up.
"..." Moribushi Kagemitsu suppressed the crisis in his heart, put the pistol in his pocket, put on his hood, and turned to leave.
In the depths of night, traitor N had already arranged a meeting point with the people at the research institute via mobile phone, and assured them that he was carrying a USB drive containing secrets of the Black Organization. Just as he was about to head there, a hand pulled him away at the corner.
"Don't move."
A harsh voice rang out, and a cold gun barrel was pressed against the back of his head. Traitor N trembled, stiffly moving his neck to look. "Who...who are you? What are you doing?!"
“N,” said Morofushi Kagemitsu.
"You! You... are from the Black Organization?!" Upon hearing the other party call his name, Traitor N was shocked, his fingers already trembling. But he was unwilling to die like this, and tentatively asked, "You, don't you want to escape this ruthless organization?"
"Research institutes aren't any good either."
"No, no! Create a god! As long as we create a god, we can win! We can become saviors!" Traitor N grinned wildly, his face contorted.
"How did you get in touch with the research institute?" Morifushi Kagemitsu asked seriously. This was very important; this connection was crucial for the police. If it weren't for this, he would have shot the man dead long ago, grabbed the USB drive, and made his escape.
"Because we all want to create gods to save the world! Naturally, we met." Traitor N was still immersed in his fantasy, laughing maniacally, but his body was trembling.
"Were you used as a guinea pig?" Morofushi Kagemitsu frowned. The other person didn't seem like a normal person at all. Either he had been brainwashed by the research lab, or he had been modified by the research institute in some way...
However, traitor N was in a daze, and it seemed that his expression had become somewhat abnormal ever since that fright.
Morofushi Kagemitsu had no intention of wasting any more time. He took a USB drive from the other person's chest pocket, observed the people approaching, and then slipped away.
After he left, Shuichi Akai on the rooftop aimed at traitor N. After a while, traitor N calmed down from his madness, touched his chest, and was shocked. He walked to the junction of the south gate and saw several dangerous men in black.
That was the person sent by the research institute to hand over the data to him, but the data was missing, and the black-clad organization arrived. The black-clad men over there also noticed him and casually walked over.
Just as they were about to get close, a bullet, accompanied by a cold wind, traveled a hundred meters and struck the traitor N squarely in the back of the head.
Shuichi Akai didn't bother to look at the chaotic scene; he quickly packed his things and left.
Hidden in the shadows, Morofushi Kagemitsu described the situation of the traitor N and his own conjectures to Cheng You. After the gunshots rang out, he went to the hotel to meet with Lai.
On the other side, Cheng You, who was about to go to sleep, frowned upon receiving the message, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
"Going mad?" Cheng You frowned in thought. He had some doubts when Zhu Fujingguang described the situation, and this was a good opportunity to investigate.
He immediately got up, changed into loose black clothes, disguised himself briefly, and ran downstairs.
Because there were many people at the scene, someone had already called the police when the gunshot rang out.
When Cheng You arrived at the South Gate, a crowd had gathered, and several men in black stood to one side with cold eyes.
If Cheng's guess is correct, the people at the research institute don't want the body to be exposed; they might try to steal the body before the police extract the blood.
It seems I need to act quickly.
Cheng pulled down his hat, squeezed through the crowd like a curious young man, squatted down next to the corpse, and took out a syringe he had prepared beforehand to draw some blood.
"Hey, what are you doing?" A police officer came to chase him away.
Cheng flicked his finger, and the syringe slid down his sleeve and into his clothes. He looked up and smiled at the police officer: "Hey, I'm a medical student, I can do dissections. I want to see what the wounds of a person who has been shot look like, hahaha."
"Seriously, can a crime scene be used as a laboratory? Let's get out of here."
"Okay, okay, sorry hahaha, I didn't know a bullet wound was this terrible." Cheng You touched his head and left.
As expected, the body suddenly disappeared a few minutes later; the researchers had indeed taken action. This action made Cheng even more suspicious that traitor N had indeed been researched.
Meanwhile, Morofushi Hiromitsu and Akai Shuichi packed their things to return to the organization. Suddenly, Akai Shuichi asked, "How can you be sure the USB drive was in Traitor N's chest pocket?"
A note from the author:
Four years before the first year of the Ke Xue era, there was more than four years between then and the first year of the Ke Xue era; at least ten years. Therefore, the technology was also ten years behind. For Cheng You, the technology ten years ago was really simple.
I feel like Morofushi Kagemitsu's voice can't really be cold, after all, Midorikawa-sensei's voice is so pleasant and gentle~ hehehe~
P.S. The most dangerous people are often those who claim to be saving the world... (fearful image).
