Chapter 152: I am also being brainwashed today

152.

Kubo was completely fooled.

You originally thought that Gin's talk about a meeting or introducing you, the new boss, to other people was just about letting you meet a few people.

Isn't that how it's played out in TV and movies? The boss's true identity is only known to a few of the most elite people - no more than a few slaps of the hand.

As a result, you are in the car and notice that the route does not seem to be going to some hidden place, but instead it is rushing on the road leading to the highway.

The more you look, the more you feel something is wrong, until Vodka parks the car in front of a huge church that looks super luxurious.

“What are we doing here?” You feel uneasy. “Aren’t we meeting someone else?”

"Hmph..." Gin lit up his cigarette, looked up at you, and talked about the past again, "This is the meeting point chosen by Gim-let... It is now owned by the organization."

"She said that having a party in a church would bring a kind of joy that was like the collapse of etiquette and music."

Gin had a complicated expression on his face. Thinking back to the past, he was no longer in the mood to continue smoking. After pinching out the cigarette, he left a vague sentence: "Fortunately, you are not like her and Yangzhi Ganlu..."

Haha, actually it does look like that, but I only dare to do it in the game. After seeing the characteristics of Mihua, I dare not do anything out of line outside.

You ordinary Americans live in such a precarious way.

“Are there a lot of people in there?” You glanced at the size of the church and asked jokingly, “Isn’t it going to be full?”

Gin said nothing, but just sneered meaningfully.

"Are there... a lot of people in there?" You start to get nervous, put your head in the front seat and start howling, "Brother, brother, say something!"

Why didn't the little brother Banche say anything?

"Almost all the code members are here." Gin put his hat on his head and glanced at you calmly, "Including those from abroad."

"Basic?"

That’s great. This means that for code members, this is not a mandatory requirement, so many people didn’t come, right?

"If you don't come..." Gin smiled, took out his pistol, and loaded it with a click, "Then you don't have to come."

When you hear this, your brain goes off for a bit and travels into the universe.

Kubo, you've been fooled. Didn't we agree that there would only be a few people?

"Vodka—" You got out of the back seat in a sly manner, and lay directly on Vodka to start searching his pockets. "I know you have a mask on you. You are going to watch the puppet show tonight, right? Where is the mask? I'm the boss, give it to me."

Vodka, startled by your sudden movement, wanted to escape, but how could he escape in this small car?

"Brother...Brother..." Vodka wanted to cry with a trembling voice. He tried to ask Gin for help, but Gin...looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, I found it."

You know Vodka always wears a black mask... Hmm? Why is there a name under this mask? Is it the peripheral with the signature?

Who cares.

You successfully found the mask and snatched Vodka's sunglasses, then returned to the back seat contentedly. In Vodka's heartbroken eyes, you tore off the outer packaging of the mask.

You looked at the interior mirror and thought, well, that's good. With sunglasses and a mask, you don't have to worry about encountering embarrassing situations or having strange expressions on your face seen by others.

There is no need to worry about making eye contact with anyone, hehe.

The church is not as crowded as you think, but to you, there are a lot of people here.jpg

Vodka, who lost his sunglasses, attracted a lot of attention.

It was just that the vodka surrounding the lost idol's autographed edition that he treasured, was immersed in sorrow and didn't notice this.

Even though you have a social phobia weapon, you are still afraid...so under Gin's angry gaze, you quietly and slowly hide behind him.

But you are the protagonist today. Where can you hide?

You were taken to a high place by Gin, and you looked dejected.

Now that you are here, let’s see who is here.

You scanned the members of the organization through your sunglasses. Oh, Mr. Fūya and Mr. Morobushi are here, and Auntie is here too... Eh? Isn't the guy next to Auntie the uncle who used to sell sushi near your house? So he also works in the factory?

Even if the number of people attending the meeting exceeds two hands, the number of people you know is not more than that! Round it up...

You are surrounded by strangers.

In order to maintain your status as a boss, and to avoid being held accountable by Gin later, you always keep your back straight even when sitting.

But you didn't listen to what others said. You just stared blankly into space:

I really want to escape. Do you have to be present at the new boss promotion meeting? Can't I have a video call or text message notification if something happens? The church is so big, can we use a projection screen to talk?

Gin is quite eloquent, and he has come up with a plan to whitewash the organization in five years and expand it in three years... Oh, so it was left by your mom.

After Gin finished speaking, as the boss, you won't speak too, right? No, you didn't write a script, so you let the otaku Zero speak without a script? Really?

Hmm? Is this person asking you a question? Oh, another person answered, great, just nod and hum to get by.

White teeth! You made eye contact with someone you don't know! It's okay, you have sunglasses to block your gaze, so your eyes don't intersect. You just need to quietly look away and pretend nothing happened...

The other person probably didn't look at you, right? Take a peek... and you meet again? ! Woohoo Kurushi... Don't look here again, look at the church pillars from another direction.

How come someone is praising you? And it's a weird foreign-accented Japanese. How come you don't know that you are a scheming, insidious, and cunning person... Is this a good word? But you are a dark organization, so this is also an exaggeration, right?

After the other party finished speaking, he/she didn't forget to wink at you... In response, you showed an expression of a grandpa looking at his/her phone, and your mood was ○○, you are flirting with the Boss!

That’s a good exaggeration. Don’t exaggerate next time. Your toes must be a little tired from moving them. I guess there are three bedrooms and a living room on the soles of your shoes.

Why does this event, which is meant to promote you as the new boss, make you feel like you are in prison? Or is it the same feeling as when you are at a thesis defense and after you finish your PPT presentation, no one in the audience speaks.

But the mentor off the court should stop talking and just listen to Gin.

…

The entire meeting with the new boss lasted the entire afternoon...even the codename members had no idea what you looked like, and you had no memory of any members other than those you knew.

Gin seemed to be in a good mood with a new job, and instead of taking you back to the underground base, he let Vodka drive you back to the apartment.

As soon as you return to the familiar and warm otaku's house, you can't wait to throw yourself on the bed and breathe a long sigh of relief - it's so scary, the feeling of being stared at by so many eyes.

Even if you didn't do anything, you'll be exhausted...

You need to replenish your game energy urgently.

As you take out your helmet and prepare to log in, your phone starts vibrating wildly.

Confused, you picked up your phone and found that it was a self-destructing text message from Rei Furuya - it seemed to be a high-tech device from the public security department that would automatically destroy the message after a period of time had passed since it was read.

[Furutani Rei: The boss of the Black Organization has made personnel changes. We suspect that the organization will undergo major changes in the future... Unfortunately, all the clues related to the boss have been discarded.]

[Furutani Rei: The new boss is a tough guy, but also a smart guy. He dared to show up unarmed in front of all the code members. He probably intended to confuse others by appearing as a weak person... But there are no fools among the code members.]

[Furiya Rei: Based on my and Jing's profile analysis, the other party is a dangerous person who is scheming, arrogant, and treats the world as a game.]

[Furutani Rei: But don't worry, whether for the sake of our seniors or as friends, we will definitely protect you.]

It's very touching. It would be even more touching if you were not this boss with a dark aura and looks down on others.

Don't you occasionally lose focus, occasionally give perfunctory answers, occasionally answer questions irrelevantly during this meeting...occasionally?

You are obviously very introverted, how can you imagine a game geek who is too introverted to speak to be this kind of person? You are so bad, Mr. Furuya!

Did the wind of Dihua finally blow into reality? You thought bitterly, I have said long ago that Mr. Fūya does not get enough sleep every day because he thinks too much.

Next time, pour a bottle of MianMianPo in his coffee to help him get a deep sleep.

It has come to this…

You put on your helmet and lie down quietly.

Game on!

*

When you log in, you realize that you didn't log off on your mobile device and didn't save your game. You don't know what you will see when you return to the game...

You open your eyes and look around.

Good news, there is no dead file and no rollback, mobile character, you are where you are now.

The bad news is that when you open your eyes, you find yourself surrounded by a group of people and get scared accidentally.

You look at the people around you, and then at the sky in the game. Oh, I can't tell... It's okay if you compare it to the time you spend offline, but if you compare it to the time you usually spend playing games...

You asked cautiously, "Have you been standing here all this time?"

Haha, it's impossible that this group of people just stood by your side for a day or so, right?

With this kind of perseverance, they can succeed in anything they do.

"Boss..." Gojo Satoru said faintly, "We have been waiting for you for so long——"

The time for the assimilation of the Star Plasma Body had passed, and now they were forced to fail the mission. Gojo Satoru thought maliciously, if the higher-ups knew that the Star Plasma Body was still alive, would they be considered "defectors"?

Does that mean he can justifiably go to the upper echelons and cause some trouble?

Fushiguro Shinobu didn't complain because Amanouchi Riko didn't arrive at Tengen's location at the appointed time. Even if the Bandei Cult didn't see the body, it was considered that he had completed the mission, so they transferred the balance in advance.

Having earned several million for nothing, Fushiguro Shigeki was naturally in a good mood.

Even if you did something weird again, you fell into a state of stiffness after everyone gathered, and remained in the same posture until now, not talking, eating, or moving... If you didn't still have some breath, Fushiguro would have almost contacted Kong Shiyu to find your next home.

Well, but before leaving, he will find the curser who cast the curse on you and help you get revenge.

"Then go ahead."

You move your slightly stiff body. It feels strange. It feels wrong today. What is holographic called? Somatosensory? It doesn't feel right either... Anyway, why do I feel weird when I go online today?

There was an inexplicable feeling of heaviness, like the feeling of numbness in the legs when you stand up after squatting for a long time - but the whole body was numb.

"No one is stopping you."

"Boss..." Gojo Satoru pointed at Frey beside him speechlessly, "Why don't you ask him to take back the sword before you say that."

After a fight with Fushiguro Shigeki and being stabbed several times due to the opponent's personal dissatisfaction, Gojo mastered the reversal technique and successfully launched a Heihe.

Even though he hit Fushiguro, a golden shield suddenly appeared on his body, making the attack cause no damage.

Gojo Satoru was in an excited state and wanted to fight for a while, but Fushiguro was unwilling to do it and said he would go to your side quickly.

Thinking that he could avenge his past humiliation and defeat you and Frey, Gojo Satoru readily agreed. However, he didn't expect that you would fall into such a strange state not long after you met.

What's even stranger is that what his eyes told him was that you were nothing more than an empty shell, and the soul wrapped in the curse had disappeared.

Now he just wanted to find someone to fight, but Gojo Satoru felt it was meaningless and was about to turn around and leave when he found Frey appearing with a heavy sword, and said that no one else was allowed to leave until he came back.

At this time, Gojo Satoru, whose brain was working at high speed, was not afraid. He made a speech of "I am the only one in the world" and rushed forward - but was beaten by Frey with a heavy sword until his excitement disappeared.

Geto was originally a little disappointed with his companions' progress and his own powerlessness, but after seeing the scene of Gojo Satoru being beaten by Frey again, he instantly returned to reality and felt unusually relieved: Satoru was still the same Satoru who would be beaten up by his boss and Frey.

"But..." He looked at Fushiguro Shier, somewhat speechless, "What are you doing?"

"Take photos... and record videos." Fushiguro Shigeu shook his phone, "The boss should be very interested in this... After the boss has finished looking at it, I will sell it to Yu Sanjia."

Should I be able to make a lot of money? Fushiguro thought that the title would be based on the fatal weakness of the son of the God of the Gojo family. The highest bidder would win. He believed that Gojo Satoru was very popular in the three families.

…

After looking at the photos in Fushiguro Shige's phone, you looked back at Gojo Satoru and pointed at him seriously: "Frey, Frey is just playing a game with you, why are you so petty?"

"Game?!" Gojo Satoru came over in disbelief. He lifted his bangs to reveal several wounds. "Here... and here... he beat me up! What kind of game can be so harsh?"

Although he has almost cured it with the reverse procedure... I left this scar for you to see so that he can complain.

“Of course it was the Alphabet Game,” you said seriously. “Frey was just being super awesome and accidentally beat you to death.”

Frey has no bad intentions.jpg
