Chapter 231 The Miracle Organization is like a sieve
The man stood in the shadows and revealed Punch's hidden secret in a calm tone.
But does Punch really want to hide? Amuro Toru is skeptical.
It was she who sent the message for him to meet Hiro, it was she who invited him to the Red Castle Hotel to solve the case, and it was she who took the initiative to expose her relationship with Lin Xi, which made him notice the little girl next to Lin Xi - wasn't all this within her expectations?
Then why did she look at him with such surprise when he followed her expectations and uncovered the truth step by step?
Toru Amuro is fed up with Punch's wavering stance.
She has been hinting to herself that she is not absolutely loyal to the organization's position, but at the same time, she seems to feel that she is also not loyal to the organization's position.
During his time working undercover with Hiro, they had only shown just the right amount of partnership, so why did Punch think that seeing the real Scotland would make him happy?
Unless she knew their true relationship.
This thought has been tormenting Toru Amuro since the moment he met Hiro, like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, making him very anxious.
His calmness was just a facade. In reality, he wanted to press the dagger against Punch's throat, forcing her to stand on tiptoe, pressed against the wall with no way out, her neck tilted back, and under his threat, she would reveal her true thoughts...
Instead of keeping aloof and treating everyone as a game.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment.
She always felt that there was an aura about Amuro Toru that made her hair stand on end.
It felt a bit like murderous intent, but stranger than that... Lin Xi couldn't put his finger on what it was, but he instinctively felt it was a bit dangerous.
"Now that you know what I did," she said after carefully considering her tone, "are you going to report me to the boss?"
Codename members all have the boss’s email address.
Toru Amuro also has it.
If he wanted, he could send what Punch had done to that adult right now, along with detailed evidence, and he would surely be able to climb higher in the organization.
"You have to let me know your purpose first." Amuro Toru slowly approached Lin Xi, "I'm an intelligence dealer. For an intelligence dealer, anything can be traded and anything can be negotiated."
"I'm more interested in why you did what you did. Or, could you give me some convincing information that would make me consider not reporting your betrayal to the organization?"
"Covering up a betrayer is as bad as the traitor himself." Lin Xi got to the heart of the matter. "Even if you try to make this into a deal, as long as you don't tell Gin right away that what I did has been exposed, he'll still suspect you."
"In this case, are you sure you won't report me to the organization?"
Now they were close enough, just beyond social distance, and Amuro Toru could see her curled eyelashes fluttering.
Punch's face was expressionless, but his mood was by no means calm.
Toru Amuro felt that the questions Punch asked from the beginning were like the three-headed guarding dog testing whether he was qualified to enter the gate of hell.
If he answered correctly, they would have the possibility to be honest with each other; if he answered incorrectly, this person would probably go back to fooling him as before.
"Tell me the answer, I won't." He didn't hesitate much, even though he knew how much leverage such an answer would give him.
He'd just been bothered for too long.
Now, they have something on each other.
Lin Xi suddenly laughed: "Curiosity kills the cat, Bourbon. Aren't you afraid that one day you'll be implicated by me and treated as a traitor by the organization?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Amuro Toru interrupted her directly, "If the organization finds you, you will definitely die before me."
His blue-gray eyes looked down at Lin Xi solemnly, looking quite oppressive.
Lin Xi licked her lips.
"Scotland is a member of the Japanese Public Security Police. You knew that, right? After his identity was exposed, the organization issued a red warrant for his arrest on the intranet, and members throughout Japan were searching for him."
"But I didn't know that at the time. I knew he was an undercover agent a long time ago. I know the Japanese public security has a list of undercover agents around the world. To be frank, their firewall is no different from paper to me. If they break it, I can help strengthen it. If you don't have the ability to keep a secret, don't leave any records. The Japanese public security clearly don't understand this."
Toru Amuro's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
The world's undercover list does exist. It's a notarized list maintained by various official organizations, intended to serve as a form of testimony to exonerate the undercover agents when the evil organizations are finally destroyed.
But that was definitely the most confidential of secrets - the same level of confidentiality as the "Zero" group he was in.
If even that level of protection is a toy for Punch to easily enter and exit, then his identity is probably—
The red-haired girl raised her head, her fangs slightly showing their tips. "Scotland is the Japanese Public Security Police, Rye is the FBI, and Bourbon, you are also a Public Security Officer, but you don't belong to the same agency as Scotland - he is from the Metropolitan Police Department, and you are from the National Police Agency."
"Do you think I'm unaware of the origins of my subordinates? It's funny, but Gin assigned you three to me because you performed so well in the training camp. I guess he never imagined that you three were all undercover agents."
"The organization is like a sieve, eroded by undercover agents and traitors, with holes everywhere—"
Amuro Toru couldn't control himself and reached out to grab Lin Xi's collar: "You knew it a long time ago? You always knew it, you——"
"—Why didn't I report it to the organization?" Lin Xi was captured, still smiling: "Why? You three are so cute, both cute and capable. How many missions have you helped the organization complete, how many people have you killed, and how many problems have you solved?"
"Originally, the most capable one wasn't you, but Rye. Unfortunately, he shouldn't have set his sights on Gin—he actually wanted to capture Gin alive, haha... This is too much, I can't allow it."
"So he's not here anymore. The only one here is you, Bourbon, double agent, ace of the intelligence team, hardworking model of the organization... ahem..."
His hand moved to her neck.
This position is uncomfortable.
But Lin Xi didn't care. A rational person like Amuro Toru, forced to shed his calm mask in a hurry, was like a child who had been severely bullied and didn't know what to do, and could only retaliate in this most childish way. The more anxious he was, the less anxious Lin Xi became.
"You've been using me..."
Amuro Toru recalled the missions he had received from Punch. Some of them happened to be completed with the help of the Public Security Bureau, while some of the intelligence he obtained happened to avoid key information...
"Aren't you taking advantage of me too? We're all adults, this is called an equal exchange, Bourbon."
The grip tightened a little.
Lin Xi coughed uncomfortably.
She felt that there must be marks on her neck from being pinched.
Can transformation erase the mark? Lin Xi didn't know.
She stared into Toru Amuro's eyes and continued to add fuel to the fire: "You should thank me. Although your and Scotland's citizenship information was deleted from the police academy after graduation, it will become more conspicuous to those who are interested."
"You two are close, right? I see you have a brother who's a policeman in Scotland... Uh, relax a little, I can't breathe, Bourbon..."
The hand loosened.
Lin Xi exhaled and gave a soothing smile.
"I didn't mean to threaten you. If I wanted to threaten you, I would have done it long ago."
"I know." Amuro gritted his teeth, "I know..."
He knew Punch wasn't threatening.
In their relationship, Punch was always the dominant one. Only just now, when he told Punch about the effects of APTX4869 and surprised her a little, did he have the upper hand.
Threatening is something that only people who are weak or equal will do.
When a powerful person makes a request, it is not a threat, it is a charity.
Amuro Toru just thought that everything he did from the moment he infiltrated was destined to be in vain...
Those organizational tasks that were deliberately sabotaged were just some sweet rewards to make him more motivated to work.
So what was the point of everything he did?
For the first time in five years, Toru Amuro fell into the vortex of nihilism when facing her career.
Seeing Toru Amuro's expression gradually crumble, Lin Xi even felt a little sympathy for him. She comforted him in return: "It's okay, even without me, you can still be an extremely good undercover agent... You have been pretending very successfully, and no one in the organization suspects you at all."
Amuro Toru sneered: "You're pretending well, but then what? The day I really threaten the organization will be the day my identity is exposed, right?"
It's so sad that I have been fooled by this guy for such a long time.
Lin Xi raised his hands in surrender.
She finally got to see Amuro Toru's broken expression, her evil taste satisfied. Now she was only focused on calming him down. "No, no, don't you have something on me? I won't get in your way. I'm just pessimistic about the idea of the Public Security Bureau taking down the organization."
Amuro Toru took a breath, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and said in a hoarse voice, "Handle... Do you really have handle on me? Once your identity is exposed, who will believe what I say?"
He looked at the girl, who still had an innocent expression.
But Toru Amuro would never make a mistake again - this man's body was filled with a ruthless evil spirit, and the expressions on his face were all disguises to make people let down their guard.
However, there is only one thing that Amuro Toru must know even if he is at the point of losing everything——
"Why did you save Scotland?" he asked through gritted teeth. "Is he doing better than me?"
"Do you think you can use him like you used me, and make him work for the organization without knowing anything?"
