Chapter 134: Eyes meet, Mimi, why do they call you Sang Biao...
An hour ago.
"Are you really only taking me and Lei...Brother?"
Vodka carried a large box of cash to the car, and a box next to it contained guns and ammunition. As he did so, he wiped his sweat from his forehead and asked tentatively, "The Hyakkikai is a well-established Yakuza organization, after all, with considerable influence in Tokyo... Are you really not going to bring Chianti? Or maybe the Scotch... Or that Bourbon from the Intelligence Team? I think he's quite good at negotiating..."
Although he looked a little uneasy, Lei, who was adjusting his gun beside him, could understand his mentality at the moment.
After all, the relationship between the organization and the Hundred Ghosts Society is definitely not harmonious. Due to the conflicting divisions of some forces that cannot be resolved, conflicts have been endless these days... Not to mention that just yesterday, their good teammate Scotland shot the young master of the Hundred Ghosts Society in the head. When the old man of the Hundred Ghosts Society saw them coming, he was lucky enough not to point a rocket launcher at them.
The Hundred Ghosts Society was quite powerful, with hundreds of people stationed at their headquarters. It was understandable that Vodka wanted to recruit a few more people, but...
"If we take Scotland with us, they'll probably just perish along with us," the black-haired man said seriously, strapping on his ever-present guitar bag. "Or, Vodka, do you think that by taking him with us, we can hand Scotland over to the Hundred Demons Society before they get angry, allowing us to escape safely?"
Vodka: “…………”
"How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense!" He hurriedly glanced at the back of the big brother in front of him. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to notice him, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I just think that calling a few more people will better protect big brother's safety..."
Although Big Brother was a capable fighter, the numerical disparity between the enemy and us was quite significant... They obviously couldn't bring heavy weapons like rocket launchers to their home ground this time. Even for Big Brother, going one against a hundred was a bit...
"...idiot." He hadn't finished his words when the silver-haired man he was talking about sneered and put out his cigar without even turning his head. "Use your brain—in Tokyo, would a hundred ghosts dare to openly attack someone from the organization?"
Big Brother said this so casually, but Vodka wondered why he wouldn't dare. Scotland had killed his beloved youngest son and heir! The old man seemed to be in his forties or fifties when he had a child. Although his previous mistress seemed to have had several children, they were not boys after all, and they were not born to a wife with a legitimate status...
Some veteran gangsters in Japan still place great importance on bloodlines and other legitimate virtues. People like Bai Gui are just that kind of traditional elder. Having lost a beloved son in his sixties or seventies, and knowing he might not live much longer, who knows if he'll become desperate and turn against the organization with a bomb.
The more Vodka thought about it, the more he felt that this negotiation wasn't a good idea. How could Big Brother actually go into such a dangerous situation? He should have let Bourbon or Vermouth negotiate. After all, Big Brother wasn't the type to be good at mending relationships with anyone...
But Gin was already in the car, waiting for him to drive, looking as if "this is a done deal." Vodka could only suppress his uneasiness and choose to trust his brother's decision.
Before getting in the car, he glanced at Lei and saw that the man with long black hair also looked unmoved. He got on the car with the guitar bag on his back. Vodka knew that the bag usually contained the sniper rifle, but it was obviously not suitable for an occasion like today. Judging by the shape...
Vodka's emotions and gaze were evident, but Moroboshi pretended not to notice. His opinion was similar to Gin's—today's "negotiation" wouldn't lead to a fight.
Thanks to modern technology, human life expectancy has increased significantly. With the help of technology, it's no longer difficult for people in their sixties and seventies to find another heir, regardless of the cost. These people often love themselves more than they love their children.
The organization was obviously well aware of the importance of that "young master", otherwise they would not have carefully selected such a target to assassinate as a deterrent and also negotiated with the father who had lost his beloved son.
All in all, while this trip might seem dangerous, for Dai Moroboshi, being brought along for such an event was a testament to the organization's "trust." The organization was recently planning to expand into related industries, competing with the Hyakkikai for a share of the underground market... Naturally, he had his own agenda in mind, determined to prevent the organization from achieving its goal.
He had always been meticulous in his actions, and all possible "accidents" were basically all included in his plan, with several permutations and combinations listed. However, many times, plans could not keep up with changes.
——For example, now, he never thought that he would meet his "master" here.
The gray raccoon, almost completely hidden in the shadows on the rafters, was still staring at him, shock written in its golden eyes.
Zhu Xingda himself was not much better than her... Although it was not the first time that his mission overlapped with that of his "master", they were all ordinary social occasions... Meeting at this kind of underworld gathering was the first time for both parties.
Why is she here... Isn't she an "ordinary player"? Why is she involved in such a dangerous situation...
Compared to her mission, Zhu Xingdai also had to face another problem: he had been deliberately concealing his job before, and Chaomu probably thought he was just an honest citizen who ran errands and did odd jobs, and occasionally scammed people... But now he was standing behind the killer with a submachine gun on his back, and he didn't look like an ordinary worker at all.
In short, his first identity - Lei of the Black Organization - was exposed to his master unexpectedly.
…What would she think of his “job”?
Zhu Xingda couldn't get an answer for the time being.
The raccoon on the beam and the undercover agent under the eaves exchanged eight hundred glances in a flash, and then tacitly looked away at the same time - Zhu Xing lowered his eyes and continued to wipe the gun barrel, as if he saw nothing; Chao Mu curled up his tail and rolled himself into a ball of gray hair, pretending that he was a huge ball of mold growing on the ceiling.
Even though both sides showed a superficial understanding at this time, neither Chaomu nor Zhuxing Dai was as calm as they seemed.
Especially morning and evening.
She leaned on the beam and looked at the name above Mimi's head below in shock.
【Zhu Xingdai/Mimi/Lei (Black)】
That position previously only had the first two names, and would be combined into one and marked as "Mimi Moroboshi"; and Mimi's camp was previously in an uncertain state, just like Toru Amuro and Kei Midorikawa.
Chaomu had always thought that Mimi should be in the same gray camp as her, usually doing odd jobs here and there and occasionally bringing back some things from the trash cans... Who knew that today she saw him standing behind the player's nemesis Gin as a younger brother, and was shocked for a moment.
[“Is that right, Mimi… Why are you being someone else’s lackey?”] She hugged the beam in shock, chatting frantically in the friend channel, [“Even with that Gin guy… What do you usually do?”]
Other people’s cats are called Mimi at home and Sangbiao outside, but her Mimi is the same... Leiyi... Isn’t Leiyi Sangbiao (?)
Moroboshi Dai who was following behind Gin: “…………”
Although he had vaguely felt that Chaomu seemed to know Gin when he smelled the scent before...but when he heard her mention this name, he still felt it was a bit ridiculous.
"It's simply because the wages offered by this shady organization are quite good..." He explained to her in his mind, his expression calm. "I can also help you pick up some relatively rare materials, and the wages can be used to supplement your household expenses."
It's said to be a rare material...
The tip of the raccoon's tail was curled upwards, and its claws were dug into the beams: she had often seen Mimi bring back rare props such as mysterious metals, energy cores, and bulletproof vest fragments, and she thought he could touch them because he was - who knew he worked in this kind of industry!
She felt his explanation was suspicious, filled with an inexplicable sense of deception. However, given the current situation, she couldn't delve into it further. She simply described her mission to him, asking him to stay out of the way, while exchanging information: "...That's roughly what happened."
When she heard that the young master who died in the Hundred Demons Society had actually bullied her, even Lord Zhu Xing had never imagined such a development.
The man with long black hair's eyebrows twitched slightly, his gaze sweeping imperceptibly across the elderly man seated at the head of the hall. The elderly man had a stern, imposing expression, clad in a black haori. The tattoo of a fiendish demon on his chest was vivid, as if ready to pounce and bite its prey. It was hard to believe he'd been dealing with a high school teacher, or even expelling a girl who had a problem with his son.
However, he didn't need to do this kind of thing himself. With his status, it was too easy for him to deal with Chao Mu, who was helpless at the time.
...It's a pity that Scotland killed the Young Master of the Hundred Ghosts. Scotland also seems to be familiar with Chaomu... Does he know that man is her enemy?
Zhu Xingda's thoughts were in turmoil.
"'A garbage can burying youth'... I roughly understand." His fingertips rested on the gun in his arms, his expression as calm and stern as ever. "Although the mission hasn't been clarified yet, since the system has directed you here to meet me, it means that among those who... treated you... in the past, even though the Young Master of the Hundred Ghosts is dead, your karmic grudge with the Hundred Ghosts Society has not yet been resolved."
"The person who shot that gentleman is a member of the organization, and the one who gave the order was Gin. We can't determine whether they are related to your mission at this time. Please be patient and wait and see."
Wow, they have an organization, sounds pretty cool.
Chaomu leaned on the beam and looked at the tense scene below, but he was not in a hurry at this time.
She typed curiously: "Speaking of organizations, what kind of organization is yours? What's Lei? What's your nickname? What's your flower name? Mimi, why do they call you Sang Biao?"
Mimi Zhuxing: “…………”
The image of the organization and its code name are obviously quite mysterious and intimidating in the underworld, but when it comes out of Chaomu's mouth, it seems to reveal a magical sense of humor.
He didn't want to involve her in any incident related to the organization, but since her new mission was obviously closely related to the organization, he couldn't hide it from her - in this case, concealment was not a protection, but a harm.
"The organization I'm in now doesn't have a specific name, but we all wear black when we go out. Some elite members are given code names based on the names of alcoholic beverages... Lei is my code name."
Chaomu: “…………Eh.”
She was stunned for two seconds, and the memory of her previous conversation with Shen Er suddenly revived from her brain: she seemed to have talked about this with Shen Er at that time, saying that Gin was a member of the "Black Organization".
At that time, she was still complaining about the vague definition of the Black Organization. Could it be that everyone wearing black clothes was a member of the organization? Then her Mimi might also be a member...
...Now that I think about it, why not? Her Mimi is really a member of the Black Organization!
