Chapter 85 A fruitful journey
Hearing what Kazukage Yayoi said, Morobushi Kagemitsu's eyes widened slightly, and he said in surprise: "He has a connection with the organization? This Mr. Tsuchiya... is really a rare talent."
While he was able to get a necklace from the bishop in the Fire Spirit Church, he also had business dealings with Chater Huang every month in the organization. At the same time, in the outer world, he had a very good reputation in the sports world, and his recently opened company was also in full swing and had a huge momentum, and his performance in the business world was extraordinary. He was really a talent who could get along with both sides and win over both black and white.
Even Morobushi Kagemitsu from the enemy camp had to sigh that Mr. Tsuchiya was truly a master of time management and was even more busy than Zero who worked several jobs.
However, despite all the complaints, Zhu Fu Jingguang still put the focus back on the topic: "Why does he meet with Chat Huang every month? What are they trading?" If it was just regular goods, Mr. Tsuchiya would not have to stay up late to trade in person under such a high-intensity job. It should be something more confidential and more important.
After hearing this, He Jing Yayoi tilted his head and looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang, and a mischievous smile seemed to flash in his eyes for a moment.
Then He Jing Yasheng reached out his hand, took out the Dream of Hope from Zhu Fu Jingguang's pocket, shook it in front of him, and chuckled: "If you ask this, I can tell you the truth."
"I said, this is just an ordinary, at most nice-looking stone. But the legend of Mr. Tsuchiya is not groundless, nor is it a rumor. After all, karate competitions need to be broadcast live, and with so many karate players, it is impossible for all of them to cooperate with Mr. Tsuchiya. So what do you think is the reason for his success and miracle?"
The tone of Kazukage Yayoi rose, with a hint of imperceptible amusement, and Morobushi Kagemitsu instinctively knew that this answer was not a good one. The fact that a god could show such a reaction proved that this answer was not about the truth, goodness and beauty of the world.
He recalled the story that Mao Lilan told at the banquet. If Mr. Tsuchiya was really as rumored, those karate players who were previously unknown would become invincible as long as they passed through his hands. Excluding some unscientific means, such as the influence of the dream of hope, then what he did was obvious.
"He gave the athletes a stimulant that couldn't be detected by the Sports Committee?"
Kazukage Yayoi chuckled, "Yes, he injected nightmare into all the players before the game. Although it is classified as a drug in the organization, you can also think of it as a stimulant. Although I don't know which generation of nightmare Mr. Tsuchiya has in the organization, it looks different from the nightmare I met before. However, Mr. Tsuchiya was using nightmare before this rumor was born." (Note 1)
"From Mr. Tsuchiya's memory, it is not only addictive like drugs, which allows him to easily restrict the players' stay or departure. At the same time, it is also like stimulants, which ensures that these players are absolutely sober and excited during the competition. And the content of the transaction between the organization and him every month is to exchange nightmares for the physical examination data of all the players in Mr. Tsuchiya's company."
Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned upon hearing this. He had heard that the organization was conducting human experiments. Everyone in the organization knew where those failed members and arrested undercovers had gone. But he had not expected that the organization had extended its hand to the social level and directly used ordinary people for experiments. So he asked in a low voice, coldly, "Mr. Tsuchiya is a member of the organization. Is he helping the organization conduct human experiments?"
But Kazukage Yayoi shook his head and denied this speculation: "No, it's not. I said, they are just trading partners. Mr. Tsuchiya has not joined the Fire Spirit Cult, nor is he a member of the organization. He is just a businessman. As for his industry..."
He Jing Yayoi paused subtly, then glanced at Zhu Fu Jing Guang, and was silent for a moment before slowly speaking. Zhu Fu Jing Guang had a worse premonition about what He Jing Yayoi was going to say.
"Hiro, you should know that the golden age for athletes is 24, and karate players are no exception. A karate player who has failed for many years and has no results is at least over 30 years old. Even if Mr. Tsuchiya injects them with nightmares, there is a limit to their performance. Stimulants will only make them overdraw their abilities, not that they will gain abilities. This is just drinking poison to quench thirst."
"So Mr. Tsuchiya thought, why not just train young players and let them compete at their best age. And you know, to train an athlete, you have to start learning relevant knowledge before he is at least 12 years old. But these are children, what if they are injected with nightmares and die? No one can guarantee the safety of nightmares, right? It was originally a test product."
"Adult contestants can be forced to sign a life and death agreement, and they will bear the consequences at their own risk, but what about children? If something happens to them, will their parents really not come to make trouble? Therefore, Mr. Tsuchiya must find those children who will not be made trouble even if they die. So, where do these children who will definitely not be made trouble come from?"
"Remember what the FBI said? 'They even have special orphanages and children's schools to help parents who can't afford to raise children but don't want to lose them.'"
"So, now you understand what Mr. Tsuchiya's industry is?"
He Jing Yayoi raised his head with a gentle smile on his lips, and there seemed to be mockery and a hint of pity in his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang's face darkened. He and Jing Yasheng had talked about this, so he certainly understood what this industry referred to. He just didn't know whether the parents of those children knew and agreed, or were innocently deceived.
"Did any of his men die as a result of this?"
Kazukage Yayoi shook his head. "This version of nightmare contains... very few active ingredients. You don't have to worry too much about his players and children. They won't have any sequelae... Of course, the premise is that they don't become addicted to nightmares. But nightmares are a product of the organization after all. Even if they want to find them, it will be difficult for them to find them."
Only then did Zhu Fu Jingguang breathe a sigh of relief. Although Tsuchiya Yoshiki's behavior was not very humane, fortunately there was no problem with the reagent itself.
Then he asked again in confusion: "I understand Mr. Tsuchiya's deal, but why did he and Chat Huang choose to go on board this time? Didn't they trade at home before? Moreover, what does all this have to do with Zero? Why did he sneak into Mr. Tsuchiya's room, and why did he take away the Dream of Hope?"
Kazukage Yayoi tilted his head and thought for a while, "Before explaining these issues, I can tell you a popular urban legend in the organization recently."
Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned when he heard this. Why did the topic suddenly turn here? Also, how come urban legends could become popular in the organization?
Seeing Zhu Fu Jingguang looking at him in surprise, He Jing Yasheng shrugged helplessly and took out his mobile phone to show Zhu Fu Jingguang. He saw that on the dark web, which was supposed to be a weird and dark style, the administrator opened a pink page of gossip, which was densely packed with all kinds of posts that could be anonymously complained. Although he couldn't click in to view it because there was no signal, Zhu Fu Jingguang was shocked by the title alone.
"The love, hate, and vengeance of Vermouth and four men, and the party struggle and voting"
"Gin and Vodka, Up and Down Voting"
"Giving My Heart to Mr. Bourbon (Physical Meaning)"
In this emotional entanglement, there are indeed several titles that are very much in the style of urban legends.
"The Fatal Curse: The Clothes That Cannot Be Seen"
"Seven Days of Seeking Life, Three People Have Been Killed"
《A magic recipe to get rid of ghosts, like this and you can get the monk’s contact information privately》
…
Is this an organized dark web? Is this really not a group chat message of some high school paranormal club?
Zhu Fujingguang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, was not sure, and looked again.
Good, same title.
He is not crazy, it seems that the organization is crazy
Kazukage Yayoi shrugged, "So don't blame me for using strange words. They tell stories that are more fantastic than each other, with all kinds of weird stories. Including the advanced version of the Slit-mouthed Woman, the Slit-headed Woman. They'll ask you if you like her brains? If you say no, you'll die. If you say yes, your mind will be blown. There are more normal ones like half-dead spirits, human pillars, and the like. What I'm going to tell is the story after extracting most of the reliable information."
Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed deeply, returned the phone to He Jing Yasheng, and held his forehead and said: "Please continue. I shouldn't have doubted you. It's my fault."
Kazukage Yayoi spread his hands helplessly, "In order to make you understand clearly, I will tell you this... urban legend from the beginning. The organization issued a mission a month ago, which is to take over a clothing company in Sumida District. The mission is very simple, and there is not even any reward."
"The only gang with some power in Sumida Ward is the Honda Group, and the leader of the Honda Group, Honda Jichiro, was eliminated by Gin a long time ago. Later, the Honda Group was cleared out by the police, and the remaining members were quickly absorbed by the organization, so this quest came about." (Note 2)
"It's nothing, a very common thing. But then things started to get really weird. Three people took on this mission and took over the clothing company. The first person was doing other tasks when he followed the target into the flour mill and died in a sudden dust explosion in the flour mill."
"The second person was refueling his car at a self-service gas station when the gas tank suddenly caught fire and he was burned to charcoal."
"The third man was a magician by profession. When he was practicing his escape trick, he failed to escape and was burned to death in the box."
"These three incidents were fully monitored, and no one ever approached them. It seemed like they were just unlucky. If they hadn't died within a week of taking over the clothing company, they wouldn't have become an urban legend in the organization."
"The organization later sent a codenamed member to take over. It is said that this person never showed up again and was most likely dead. So this mission was given to Gin. And for some reason, Gin gave it to Bourbon."
Kazukage Yayoi spread his hands, "Very strange, isn't it? And it is said that Bourbon is the only person who has survived for two weeks. So they made a bet to see if Bourbon can succeed. By the way, the odds of choosing Bourbon to succeed are 1:3.7. It seems that they don't trust Bourbon's ability, maybe because Bourbon is a member of the intelligence team."
Zhu Fu Jingguang was about to say something, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only sigh deeply, "So what you mean is that Zero chased the Honda team to get on the ship, and Mr. Tsuchiya is still related to the Honda team?" Isn't Mr. Tsuchiya a little too busy?
Zhu Fu Jingguang held his forehead helplessly, "If the Honda Group had such great capabilities, why was it swallowed up by the organization in the first place? Wait, the dust explosion, the fuel tank fire, and the burning to death in the box... You mean, these three things were done by the Fire Spirit Cult?"
Kazukage Yayoi nodded, "Honda Juichiro was my first mission after joining the organization, and I was responsible for disposing of the corpses, so I have his memories. I can tell you that the Honda Group does cooperate with the Fire Spirit Cult, and their cooperation is closer than that of Mr. Tsuchiya. Although in essence, what they do is similar, it's just that Honda Juichiro is a little more disgusting."
Kazukage Yayoi thought about it and concluded, "The Fire Spirit Cult seems to be a human trafficking organization that is spread all over the world. If Mr. Amuro discovered the connection between the Honda Group and the Fire Spirit Cult when he took over, and learned that there would be a Fire Spirit Cult bishop on the Victory Goddess, it is not difficult to understand why he suddenly asked to board the ship. Of course, I don't have Mr. Amuro's memory, so I am just guessing based on Honda Jiro's memory."
Zhu Fu Jingguang fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, he asked, "I originally thought that the Fire Spirit Cult should have a cooperative relationship with the organization. After all, one provides the subjects for the experiment and the other provides the experimenters. At least in Mr. Tsuchiya's industry, I can't see any conflicts between them. But regarding the Honda Group, they don't seem to have the relationship I imagined."
Seeing Zhu Fu Jing Guang with a frown on his face, and Jing Yayoi, he hesitated to speak, but finally explained: "Is there a possibility... Honda Group doesn't know who swallowed it... so the Fire Spirit Cult doesn't know either?"
……Um?
Kazukage Yayoi shrugged, "The organization actually had no contact with the Honda Group. They clashed only because the Honda Group controlled a lot of bars and nightclubs, and then seized the goods that the organization bought and sold. The organization was too lazy to talk nonsense with the Honda Group, so they just killed Honda Jiro."
"So, the Honda group has no idea who did it. Logically, the Fire Spirit Cult, who helped out, shouldn't know either. So this can't be used to determine the relationship between the two of them."
"As for why the Fire Spirit Church is willing to help. The Honda Group has actually been cooperating with the Fire Spirit Church for fifty years. Moreover, Bishop Okuyama of the Fire Spirit Church gave the former leader of the Honda Group a necklace. Yes, it is the one that Mr. Tsuchiya lost. It is said that with this necklace, you can get the Fire Spirit Church to do something for you free of charge, and the price is that this person's life will be sacrificed to the Spirit God."
"Although in Honda Jiro's memory, he always regarded this incident as a fairy tale. But who knows, someone might have actually tried it and succeeded."
"If the Fire Spirit Cult is indeed involved in the Honda Group's affairs, then these three accidents have reasonable explanations. The Fire Spirit Cult may really have the ability to manipulate fire. Of course, it can also be explained by scientific means. The Fire Spirit Cult has made a small, easy-to-disguise fire-starting device."
"As for why Mr. Amuro took the Dream of Hope, I'm not sure, but I can tell you Mr. Tsuchiya's original plan. Remember the story of Conan? A terrible mining disaster, a miracle of hope, and a rising company. Well, there will be a new story after this week. A terrible shipwreck, a miracle of hope, and a rising company."
"Although I don't understand what's going on with Chat Huang, it seems that he has a better relationship with the Fire Spirit Cult than Mr. Tsuchiya does. He told Mr. Tsuchiya that the Fire Spirit Cult will hold a grand sacrifice on the ship, but no one will know the truth about the shipwreck. Mr. Tsuchiya can survive this sacrifice and achieve success with the legend of the Dream of Hope."
"A dream of hope. There must first be a despairing reality before one can expect the birth of a beautiful dream of hope, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang's face darkened. "In other words, the mining accident that year was also the work of the Fire Spirit Cult, or the organization? The mining company deliberately caused the collapse and killed all the miners, and only bribed one of the miners to prepare food in advance. They rescued him seven days later, let him hold the Dream of Hope, tell the so-called story, and then use the opportunity to promote their own company."
Kazukage Yayoi nodded, "I'm afraid so. That company later became one of the best mining companies in the United States. With such an example in front of him, it is impossible for Mr. Tsuchiya not to be tempted. Moreover, Bishop Okuyama and Chat Huang, who made the suggestion, were on the ship, so Mr. Tsuchiya did not have to worry about being cheated. It was precisely because of this that Mr. Tsuchiya was extremely panicked when he found out that he had lost the necklace. He was afraid that Bishop Okuyama would abandon him at that time."
"Considering the body of Mr. Amuro hanging upside down under Room 1003, I have reason to suspect that Mr. Amuro already knew about this. After all, the meaning of the hanged man is voluntary sacrifice, moral sublimation and noble martyrdom. Mr. Amuro should be hinting to us that the Fire Spirit Cult will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony."
"It seemed like they were going to burn everyone on this ship, including themselves."
