Chapter 179 Death Game I Remember You Are a Slacking Supremacist
The passenger ship they were on now had no one else on it except the captain, crew, cook, waiter and themselves.
Because the entire boat was booked by Lin Xi.
It's not your own money that you spend - the organization will reimburse it - I hope Rum won't be speechless when he sees the sky-high reimbursement bill. Well, compared with the organization's weapons, it should be nothing.
Lin Xi stood on the deck, looking out at the island that was getting closer and closer.
This island is a very small island in the Izu Islands, and the entrance to the auction is on the island.
According to the organization's intelligence, there is more than one entrance to the auction. Other entrances can also be used to enter the auction, but they are all near this island.
Perhaps for the purpose of diverting guests, the invitations for the guests indicated different entrances, and at each entrance there was a greeter waiting for the guests to arrive and lead them into the venue.
In addition to wearing masks, this type of auction also has strict security procedures. Although guests can bring bodyguards, they are not allowed to carry any weapons.
The greeters at the auction entrance have multiple functions including leading the way and conducting security checks.
"So, Ayang, just give me your gun or something first?"
After Lin Xi shared the information with Amuro Toru, she looked at him with a smile.
The humid sea breeze blew her black hair, and Lin Xi casually tucked her hair behind her ears.
To the crew members nearby, the two looked like a loving couple. In reality, the tense atmosphere between them hadn't improved at all since noon.
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "Why, how many guns can you hide under your skirt?"
"Or do you think they don't use metal detectors?"
Lin Xi sighed, "Can't we have a little more trust and a little less suspicion between us?"
"It's not like I'm going to do anything to your weapons."
"Just leave it to me—I promise that when the weapon is in your hands again, it will be exactly the same as when you gave it to me."
Amuro Toru didn't say anything. He reached out, pulled out the gun stuck on his waist and handed it to Lin Xi.
The pants and clothes Lin Xi chose for him were not suitable for carrying weapons.
Lin Xi flipped his hand and threw the gun into the system space, then took out two half-face masks - the kind commonly used in masquerade balls, put one on his face, and handed the other to Amuro Toru.
"I've already told the captain to come back and pick us up in two days," Lin Xi said. "Hopefully, they can capture the USB drive successfully. If not..."
"Then we can only rob it." Amuro Toru - who has completely entered the Bourbon state - said gloomily.
Lin Xi shrugged. "I really want to know who else is interested in the 'Dark Night Baron' besides us. Gin said that it would be best if we could find the auctioneer. But that person may not come."
Not everyone can get admission to the auction. In addition to those who are rich and powerful and the people they bring with them, sellers can also enter.
However, after the person bidding on the "Night Baron" learns that the previous owner has disappeared, there is an 80% chance that he will not show up at the auction.
The boat docked. As the invitation had said, someone was waiting for them on the shore.
A young man with black hair and purple eyes waved at them.
“Here—here!”
The young man looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and was wearing waiter's clothes, which made him look out of place on this deserted island.
Amuro Toru hesitated for a moment.
From the beginning, he felt that the auction held on the island was not very reliable.
Now they actually let such a young child be the guide...it makes people feel even more unreliable.
Lin Xi next to him didn't hesitate at all and walked up with a smile.
"What a cute little boy." Her tone was full of interest, which was consistent with her current personality.
The boy was stunned for a moment, then blushed: "Sorry, sorry! My family is short of people... I'm here to help!"
"Please follow me, distinguished guest!"
"Hmm, that's the wrong adjective." Lin Xi said with a smile, "I'm not noble. You should call me 'beautiful' guest."
The boy's face turned even redder, and he turned his head away, embarrassed to look at Lin Xi: "Beautiful guest, please follow me..."
They followed the boy to the rocky mountain on the deserted island.
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and saw the young man poking and tapping at a corner of the stone wall of the stone mountain. After a while, the stone mountain made a rumbling sound, and the uneven stone door that served as a hiding place on the outside moved away, revealing a downward stone staircase.
The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled at the two of them. "Mrs. Mizutani, and this... gentleman, welcome to the auction. The venue and lounge are downstairs."
Lin Xi exclaimed: "How do you know who I am?"
"Well, well..." The young man turned his head away embarrassedly. "Among the guests, you are the most beautiful, Mrs. Mizutani. So when I saw you, I guessed you were Mrs. Mizutani."
"Haha...you're so sweet." The lower half of his face, exposed, outlined an elegant curve. "Are you really looking at the face, not the figure?"
The boy blushed again and said honestly, "Both, both."
The curve of Lin Xi's mouth widened a little.
Amuro Toru next to him coughed unhappily.
Lin Xi smiled and put her arm around his. "Ayang, please understand. All women can't help but feel flattered when they hear compliments."
Amuro Toru showed an aggrieved expression on his face: "Haven't I praised you enough? It's obviously me who is sincere..."
He said this, but in his heart he was complaining: This guy must be possessed by a spirit of drama, acting so enthusiastically in front of a waiter.
At the same time, Lin Xi also complained in his heart: Do they need to receive acting training when they join the undercover job? Mr. Bourbon played the role of the spoiled lover so vividly.
The young man looked at their intimate actions, and his guess was confirmed. He quickly turned his head away and dared not look again, and led the two of them down the stone steps.
But Lin Xi didn't let him go and kept chatting with him in a teasing tone along the way.
When they reached the bottom of the stone steps, Lin Xi had almost figured out the boy's background.
The young man's name was Yue Jiangfeng, and he was one of the prospective waiters at the auction. As for why he was called a prospective waiter, he was actually helping out because the auction was shorthanded. He explained that this was his first time working as a receptionist, and asked for your forgiveness if anything was done incorrectly.
When Lin Xi curiously asked why his pupil color was so different, he shyly told Lin Xi that it was inherited from his family. His mother and sister both had purple eyes. People often asked him similar questions, and asked if he was sick because his eyes were that color...
Lin Xi didn't find it strange, he was just a little curious.
After all, it's a two-dimensional world, so it's understandable.
In stark contrast to the desolate exterior, the space at the bottom of the stone steps was bright and magnificent. Carpets covered every inch of the floor, and wall lamps provided bright light. Lin Xi noticed that there seemed to be a ventilation system on the ceiling to ensure air circulation in this huge basement.
She took out her cell phone and, as expected, found that there was no signal.
"Mrs. Mizutani, please hand over your weapons to us for safekeeping." Before entering the venue, Yue Jiangfeng stopped Lin Xi and looked at her a little embarrassedly.
"Weapons?" Lin Xi covered her lips with her hands. "Little brother, do you think I'm the kind of person who would use weapons to hurt others?"
As he hugged her, Toru Amuro's mouth twitched.
Isn’t it?
Yue Jiangfeng was stunned by the question and hurriedly explained: "Mrs. Shuigu, that's not what I meant! You are certainly not that kind of person!"
"It's just... just to ensure the safety of everyone at the auction, we have to take away all the guests' weapons! Um, please, Mrs. Mizutani!"
The young boy was so anxious that he wanted to bow.
Lin Xi noticed that he glanced at her high-slit long skirt subtly.
Well, did you find out she hid weapons here?
She felt a little interested, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and pulled out the dagger tied under her skirt: "Oh, really. Since you've asked me to do this, I'll leave my baby to you."
"Women like us always need some self-defense weapons to deal with sudden dangers."
She casually threw the dagger, which still had her body temperature, to Yue Jiangfeng and watched the young boy take it in panic.
He mumbled a thank you and seemed to finally be relieved.
Lin Xi spread out her hands, showing him her empty hands: "Little brother, can you let us in now?"
"Of course! Please come in, Mrs. Mizutani, and this..."
Amuro Toru snorted through his nose.
"Kongguyang." he said.
"Mr. Konggu." Yue Jiangfeng readily agreed. "I'll take you two to your room first. The auction will begin tomorrow morning, and there will be a dinner tonight. The staff will remind you two before the dinner begins. Please be sure to attend."
.
In the room.
After checking that there were no cameras or monitoring devices in the room, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the big bed.
"I really don't want to go to that damn party... Really, why does an auction have to have a dinner?" She muttered, and her high heels were kicked to the ground.
Amuro Toru watched her reveal the childishness that belonged to Punch and smiled: "Then why did you take on this mission?"
"I remember you were a slacking supremacist."
He picked up the high heels on the ground and put them away, then sat next to Lin Xi.
"...I'm always slacking off. I'm afraid I'll be fired." Lin Xi lay on the bed like a dead fish. "This organization isn't a charity."
"Oh? With your position, are you still worried about this?" Amuro Toru's occupational disease came back again, and he began to test with a smile.
Lin Xi tutted her words, feeling that Amuro Toru, who was now sitting beside her bed, was like a cat with its claws extended. "What's my position? I just led you when you first joined the organization. It doesn't mean I really don't have to do anything."
“Organizations don’t need waste.”
"Besides... I only brought three new recruits, two of whom were undercover... Ahhhh, this is really hard for me to explain to the boss."
Amuro Toru's smile faded slightly.
"Those two undercover agents were truly despicable," he said. "The thought of spending so much time with them makes me sick. Fortunately, they didn't extract any important information from me."
Lin Xi, lying on the bed, turned her face towards Amuro Toru.
"Really?" Her voice became a little unclear because of her posture. "Then if you see..."
Toru Amuro: "?"
Lin Xi: "Forget it, it's okay."
If you saw your good brother become a CIA undercover agent and return to the organization, would you be speechless?
