Chapter 54 Akai's Application Letter [VIP]

The matter at the aquarium was handled by the police and didn't cause a major commotion. Curaçao met with Gin as instructed, and after picking up the person, Gin directed the helicopter to leave and departed gracefully.

Everything was normal at the aquarium; the bomb had been completely defused. Cheng went to the underground conference room to remove his disguise and ran into Wendia, who had just returned.

As soon as Wendy saw her boss there, she immediately leaned over and said in a low voice, "I was terrified. A member of the organization reported to me that there was a bomb in the Ferris wheel?! I rushed over to check, and the police even reassured me that it had been defused and paid me some compensation for emotional distress. But..."

"I understand. I'll have Takeda Ryosuke allocate you more money later." Cheng You smiled helplessly. "Send me the surveillance footage; I need to make some changes." He wanted to erase all traces of Kurosaki Shinji from today.

After dealing with everything, Cheng used his true face to go find the three children who were still eating. Unexpectedly, Morofushi Kagemitsu, Yagami Kamizan, and Yuichi were also there.

After a brief greeting, he said to the three children, "Alright, kids, you can go to the Ferris wheel this time. Call Conan and Ai too!"

The three children cheered and ran away.

Cheng turned to look at Youyi: "Want to come along?"

Yuuichi pouted: "You're coming with me?"

"Of course, we'll go with Midorikawa-nii." Cheng You turned to ask Yagami if he was going to visit, but was taken aback by the slightly annoyed look on Yagami's face. What was wrong?

He asked, "Yagami, do you want to come along?"

Yagami replied, "Never mind, I'll just go home and rest." He then scratched his head, looking quite troubled.

[Ugh, how did I have to run into him here? If he sees me, he'll probably lecture me again. But then I think, I'm just hanging out with a classmate, it's okay, right...? No, what if he comes looking for me?]

This was Yagami's innermost thought. Cheng You raised an eyebrow after listening, realizing that Yagami must have met his brother here, the FBI brother, right?

Cheng You and Morofushi Kagemitsu took Yuichi to ride the Ferris wheel. As they passed by the green path, a short-haired man wearing a knitted hat, mask, and black clothes walked past them. Cheng You knew that this was Akai Shuichi, who had just finished defusing the bomb and dealing with everything with Furuya Rei.

As Yagami was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a heavily wrapped-up person walking straight towards him. He already guessed who it was, and his heart skipped a beat.

He smiled and said matter-of-factly, "Hey, what a coincidence."

Shuichi Akai, who was bundled up tightly, nodded simply. He sat down and straightened his clothes before speaking, "What are you doing here?" His voice was as calm as ever.

"To keep my roommate company." That was indeed the reason Yagami came here, he shrugged and said.

"Cheng You?"

"His younger brother, and another one named Midorikawa Kei."

Upon hearing the surname Midorikawa, Shuichi Akai was momentarily dazed, as if he had returned to the night he remembered for so long, when Midorikawa Suke fell in front of him and bravely chose death to save the other two undercover agents.

If someone is connected to Cheng You, then they must be someone extraordinary. Although Shuichi Akai didn't have much contact with Cheng You, judging from the behavior of Shinichi Kudo when he turned into a child, Cheng You must be a remarkable person.

He asked, "Is this Lüchuan a friend of Cheng You?"

"It is said that Cheng met her when he was in China, and Midorikawa Kage was studying in China."

“I see…” Shuichi Akai frowned. The timing didn’t add up. Cheng You had been in China the whole time and only came to Japan a few weeks ago. The man with the alias Midorikawa Suke had been in Japan the whole time. The two of them wouldn’t have crossed paths. Maybe that undercover agent had already died, but he could never forget him. Mentioning that surname would remind him of it. He was too sensitive.

Shuichi Akai chuckled to himself with a self-deprecating smile.

"Have you been thinking about joining a gang lately?" he asked.

Yagami sighed, "It's really difficult. Do you know about that Gray Fox assassin dark web? I've tried to join several times but haven't succeeded. I'm exhausted."

Shuichi Akai smiled upon hearing this: "Oh, this is quite popular. I haven't tried it myself, but joining it wouldn't be of much use. I'll just take a look at the bounty missions."

"You can even read gossip about gangs, which is quite interesting. It's also cleaner than some other websites. Bro, you should try it out and see if you can join."

Hideaki Akai nodded, entered the URL that was rumored among the yakuza, and clicked on the application page to join.

Enter the information item by item as required, and then send it.

"Alright, go back now. I'll let you know in a few days." Shuichi Akai put away his phone and was about to get up to leave when Kamisama Yagami grabbed him quickly: "Don't rush, bro. Their review process is very fast, usually only two or three hours. I want to see if your application will even pass."

“…Okay.” Shuichi Akai had no choice but to sit down and wait with Yagami. While waiting, Yagami suddenly got excited and took out his phone to reapply.

Shortly after, Shuichi Akai received a message from FBI headquarters: "[Akai, the FBI has received information that the Sakura Blade Pavilion has changed its boss and renamed itself the Invincible East Pavilion. They're rumored to be ramping up their operations soon, since their mortal enemy is the research institute. Find a way to infiltrate the Invincible East Pavilion as an undercover agent, because you're currently the FBI's best undercover agent.]"

[Entering the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion is much easier than finding the research institute. Besides, through the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion, you can easily track down the research institute, and then we can take it over.]

Shuichi Akai looked at the arrangements made by headquarters with a sense of helplessness. He was an undercover agent again, and he wondered if he would encounter someone with similar spirit this time.

[Akai: Send me the information on the Invincible East Pavilion, I'll prepare it.]

The other party quickly sent the information. It was very simple information. After all, with the new king's coronation, most of the organization's content had been removed. The information showed that there were originally six managers, but the new king replaced them, leaving only two managers.

They firmly kept the power in their own hands.

It's clear that their new boss is a very shrewd person. I wonder if he could even pass the test of becoming an organization member if he went undercover.

Yagami was suddenly startled and couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" Akai Shuichi, who was analyzing the data word by word, was startled and looked up to see Yagami staring at his phone with disbelief in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Shuichi Akai couldn't help but ask.

Yagami Kamishiro turned his phone around and showed the screen to the other person.

This page looked familiar to Shuichi Akai; it had the same dark blue and purple color scheme when he first applied to join the Gray Fox Assassin Dark Network. There was a box on the page with text that read: "Having seen your application, we at Gray Fox Assassin Dark Network need someone like you. Click the link below and fill in your application information to log in."

This means your application has been successfully submitted.

Shuichi Akai looked at the person in front of him and felt a little annoyed. He wondered if Yagami would go even crazier after entering this website.

"Could it be because I applied too many times that it finally got approved this time, hahaha." Yagami couldn't help but exclaim. He quickly recovered from his joy and looked at Akai Shuichi, "Hurry up, hurry up, bro."

Hideki Akai went to the application page of that website, checked the messages, and sure enough, there was one. He clicked on it and took a look—

[After reviewing your application, we at Grey Fox Assassin's Dark Web don't need ordinary people. Administrator's warning: this site is not suitable for minors.]

Akai Shuichi:…………

Minor? No, I'm an adult! Why isn't Yagami, who is underage, punished?

Whether it was his innate rebellious nature or a momentary act of defiance, Shuichi Akai had a fleeting thought that he had to join this organization; if he didn't join, he wouldn't be Akai!

When Yagami saw that his brother's face was a little sore, he glanced at him with a hint of curiosity and couldn't help but laugh: "No, you're underage, hahaha."

Shuichi Akai left with a cold expression.

Looks like I'll have to apply a few more times, just like that kid Yagami Kamishin.

On the other side, Cheng You, who had just accidentally lost control of his phone, looked at the screen with a helpless expression.

He set up a program within the application portal of the Grey Fox Killer Dark Web. Under normal circumstances, users from Mihana Town would be reviewed first. Therefore, Cheng would see the applications from Mihana Town users first, and the processing time was about three to five hours, while the processing time for those from outside Mihana Town was about a week.

Just as Cheng You finished riding the roller coaster and was about to go home, he saw Yagami Kamisama seemingly chatting with someone in the eel restaurant. The person had their back to him, and after a closer look, he realized it was a man bundled up tightly, but the knitted hat still gave him away.

Shuichi Akai.

It was only then that Cheng realized that the brother Yagami had mentioned, and the unspeakable secret between Yagami and the FBI that the system had mentioned, was actually this!

That's shocking!

This is terrible.

For Cheng You, completing the system's tasks was a simple matter of avoiding provoke with dangerous organizations like the FBI, the Public Security Bureau, or the CIA, despite their legitimacy. Now, unwittingly, because of Yagami's visit, he might have already caught the attention of FBI agent Shuichi Akai, and because of Morofushi Hiromitsu, his contact had reached out to him.

Moreover, he took the initiative to approach them all. Yagami Uesugi invited him to live with him, and Morofushi Kagemitsu was someone he willingly approached.

Is this fate?! !!! Aaaaaah!

No, this is all part of the system's design! Yes! It's all the system's fault!

He looked exhausted from the journey home and returned in a daze. He quickly made a simple dinner and went back to his room to relax. After a moment of self-doubt, he managed to shake off his inner turmoil.

Whatever! I have many aliases! If I ruin my main account, I'll just switch to a new one, hahaha.

Thinking this, Cheng continued his leisurely time, but first he needed to check the news on the Gray Fox Assassin's Dark Network.

There were applications, quite a few, but most were from the outer city. Cheng You ignored them for the time being and looked at the applicants near Beika Town. There were more than fifty of them. Cheng You glanced at them briefly and rejected them one by one. The replies were all similar.

[After reviewing your application, we at Grey Fox Assassins Dark Network don't need ordinary people.]

If the user encounters a minor, Cheng You will add a comment: "[Administrator's warning: This is not suitable for minors.]"

Although the application does not require uploading ID cards or passports, it will ask them to fill in their age and ask some age-related questions to ensure that they are not lying about their age.

These questions cannot be searched using Baidu or similar search engines because the website has rules that switching screens to answer questions will lock the page, automatically withdraw the application, and prevent the applicant from applying again for three months.

Therefore, the ages are generally accurate. Only a small number of machine verifications result in errors, requiring the process team to personally obtain the real information of the person on the other side of the page through certain technical means.

After reviewing all of them, only two remained. He clicked on one, looked at the application statement, and thought, "Wow, it's really excellent. You can tell from the wording that the applicant is a meticulous person."

But why is the username I registered called "Rye"?

Cheng You pursed his lips. Could it really be Shuichi Akai? With a try-it-and-see attitude, Cheng You touched the wires and pulled up the other party's information.

It really is Shuichi Akai!!!

Fine, let him in. It'll help the FBI keep track of certain organizations' movements anyway.

Thinking this, Cheng You pulled up the official language for the message and was about to send it when a glance at the bottom of the page caught his eye, and he was tempted to join. The applicant's registered account was called: Join the Gang Without Looking Back.

This name sounds very familiar.

He opened the message and saw the familiar application text. Cheng knew it was another report from Ye Shen.

The applicant's account and application statement are exactly the same every time.

Cheng was helpless; he was truly unwilling to give up, so he decided to refuse. "Ever since I found out your brother is Shuichi Akai, I haven't dared to let you in."

Thinking this, Cheng replied directly, then turned back to the application letter from the rye plant, switching to official language.

Then he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why is this language indicating a rejection? What about the message I just sent?

Cheng immediately retrieved the reply to the application submitted by Ye Shen.

OMG! Just as I expected! He sent the consent message that was supposed to be sent to Shuichi Akai to Senior Advisor Yagami instead.

Cheng You: ……………

Never mind, let's leave it at that.

Cheng ignored it and ultimately rejected Shuichi Akai's application, adding a disclaimer that minors are prohibited from entering the site.

Hopefully, Shuichi Akai understands that this is a truly healthy website, and minors are prohibited from entering! This was just a typo.

Cheng refused to see Shuichi Akai because she didn't want him spying on her screen every day. She felt like she had done something wrong and was terrified of Shuichi Akai, so she didn't want him to come at all.

Cheng quickly put the matter out of his mind, washed up, and lay in bed thinking about tomorrow.

In the morning, he was to meet his contact with Morofushi Hiromitsu, though Morofushi Hiromitsu had never met his super detective contact before. After the meeting, Cheng You had to hurry to the Japanese laboratory; Curaçao said that people from the Black Organization and the research institute would be there.

This is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to infiltrate the Black Organization.

Li Hua's pseudonym has been unused for a long time, and now is the perfect time.
