Chapter 42: The CD Seizure Campaign - The newcomer was clearly the first to arrive...
"You really know him." This time it was Lin Xi's turn to be surprised.
She had found this photo on the organization's internal network. According to the information, Hiroki Kashimura had also registered with Ryuji Yoshiki.
But Lin Xi didn't expect Sugishima Jun'e to really know him, because patients don't necessarily interact with each other.
"Well...actually, he goes to the same school as me," Sugishima Jun'e said. "He's very young, but he's already attending the same sixth-grade classes as me. Apparently, because his grades are so good, he got full marks in all his classes, so he was able to skip a grade."
"Wow... Is this the legendary genius? So strong." Lin Xi exclaimed.
"But..." Sugishima Jun'e hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Teachers and classmates don't like him very much. He never listens in class and never participates in group activities. During physical education class, he's always fiddling with his computer and isn't very sociable..."
"Is he playing computer games?"
"Well, sometimes, but more often than not... I saw him studying those, those codes, and they seemed to come alive in his hands..." Sugishima Jun'e said, her eyes lighting up involuntarily.
Lin Xi looked at her thoughtfully: "Sugishima-kun is actually very interested in this too, right?"
"Hey, me, me?" Sugishima Jun'e blushed. "It's okay..."
Lin Xi clapped his hands and said, "I've observed the celestial phenomena at night and the geography during the day, and I've learned that you're born to study computer science. Okay, you should pursue this career in the future. I'll hire a professional teacher for you. That's it!"
"Huh?"
Sugishima Jun'e's eyes widened: "Don't I need to learn anything else?"
"If you want to learn, go ahead," Lin Xi said. "But these things are just a way for others to make a living, not for you—you can practice them for self-defense, but it's not necessary."
"Besides, you still have to take general education courses. I've hired a tutor for you. Don't think you can escape nine years of compulsory education by coming to me."
No matter how hard life is, we must not let our children suffer; no matter how poor we are, we must not let our education suffer.
We must strive to cultivate good young people of the new era who are well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor aspects.
87.
Porsche 356A.
"No, your surroundings."
Lin Xi happily threw a bag to Vodka.
Vodka was dumbfounded, watching Lin Xi get into the back seat of the Porsche so naturally, and was petrified.
???
Why did you give me Yuri-chan's peripherals right in front of big brother?
Doesn't Punch know that the reason he always wears a suit and sunglasses is to maintain the image of an elite employee of his organization!
He usually chases stars secretly!
He was holding the material with the cute girl's photo printed on it, feeling like crying.
His cool guy image is ruined! It's ruined!
Now the whole world knows that he is a star chaser...
Woo woo woo…
Lin Xi in the back seat took out a bag from somewhere and handed it to Gin in the front seat.
Vodka glanced at it subconsciously.
Is this... red bean cake?
Still steaming.
Is there any place selling this around here?
Wait, that's not the point.
Punch!!!
What on earth were you thinking when you handed this to Big Brother?!
Even if you can tie with big brother and are not afraid of being beaten by him, but do you think big brother looks like he would eat this thing?
This will definitely be thrown away by big brother!
Gin raised his hand and took it.
Vodka's heart skipped a beat and he swallowed.
He was worried about his brother and Punch, definitely not about Ankoyaki...
Ah, the aroma of the red bean fire wafted over to him...it smelled really good. It would be a shame to throw it away...ah, no, he definitely wasn't feeling sorry for the red bean fire!
Vodka glanced nervously at his elder brother standing beside him.
Then he saw his elder brother take a bite of the red bean cake.
Vodka:?
"Too sweet," Gin commented calmly.
"Huh? Isn't this stuff salty?"
Lin Xi was shocked. She looked at Gin with a look that said, "Is your sense of taste failing?"
It was because of its unique taste that she bought an extra piece and brought it back!
Gin was speechless: "Yes, there is salt in it, but it still tastes sweet."
Lin Xi: ...
It seems that when I make pastries in the future, I will have to reduce the sugar content in the gin portion separately.
Even if God came today, she would have to say that this thing is salty.
Gin is worthy of being a man who was once an experimental subject. Even his sense of taste is so different from that of ordinary people.
Vodka on the side: Wait, wait a minute.
This is the second time Punch and Gin have met, right?
Why do they seem to get along so well?
Vodka tears.
He has worked with his elder brother for so many years, and even if he has no credit, he has worked hard.
The treatment he received was actually not as good as Punch, whom he had only met for the second time!
He was sure that if he gave his elder brother red bean cake, he would give him a cold look and let him eat it himself.
Why did it become like this? He was the one who came first.
.
When Rena Mizunashi opened the door of the Porsche and sat in the back seat, she saw the girl with red hair and green eyes smiling at her.
Mizuno Rena was stunned for a moment.
Such a young girl...
Is she also a member of the organization?
And, is that a kitten in her arms?
The girl wearing a cake skirt and holding a cat seems incompatible with the organization composed of extremely vicious criminals.
Could it be that the organization kidnapped him from somewhere?
Um...would you like to say hello?
As she hesitated, the girl next to her smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Punch. What's your name, newbie?"
Mizuno Reina was stunned for a moment and said, "Hello, senior, I am Mizuno Reina."
Is it possible that he is already a code member at such a young age?
Lin Xi: "Did Gin tell you what to do on this mission?"
Rena Mizunashi: "Yes. The target of this mission is a CD in the hands of the president of Nagaki Information Technology Company. Nagaki Company has cooperated with the organization before, and its president participated in the establishment of the organization's intranet. The CD may contain confidential information of the organization's members, which needs to be recovered urgently. And my mission——"
Mizunashi Rena's eyes were covered by shadows, and a sneer appeared on her lips: "Just pretend to be his secretary to get close to him, find the CD, and then replace it with this fake CD."
She took out a CD and flipped it between her fingers. It was given to her by someone from the Organization and Technology Department before she came.
Lin Xi on the side: ...
The girl has good facial expressions.
You undercover agents are so treacherous when you change your faces.
"Okay, it seems you already fully understand the mission process. Next, let me change your appearance, okay?"
She took out a bunch of things and placed them on the back seat, motioned for Rena Mizunashi to turn around, and wrote and drew on her face; soon, a brand new face appeared in the back seat of the Porsche.
Mizuno Rena looked at the small mirror that Lin Xi handed her, touched her completely different face, and her heart was filled with amazement and vigilance.
It's worthy of being an organization, with such amazing disguise technology, there is absolutely no flaw.
Such amazing technology is in the hands of a young girl... It really is true that you can't judge a book by its cover.
Lin Xi took out some changing clothes and handed them to her, then got out of the car with Gin and Vodka.
Mizuno Reina subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?"
The red-haired girl turned around and gave her a smile: "Give the lady some private space to change clothes. Besides, you have your mission to complete, and we have ours. Come on, Miss Mizuno, we will cover you~"
Mizuno Rena responded with a polite smile and nodded at Lin Xi.
When the footsteps faded away, she looked at the Porsche where she was the only one left.
Should we plant some bugs in the car now?
She carries these things with her.
My father worked undercover in the organization for six years and obtained a lot of important information, including information about Gin.
Intelligence reports say he is a cruel person who does things cleanly and efficiently, leaving no one alive. He is the sharpest blade of the organization.
He holds a very high position in the organization and is one of the few members who can directly contact the mysterious organization's boss.
If we could plant a bug in his car, we'd definitely be able to gather important intelligence...
Calm down, Hondou Eikai.
You've already paid the price for your impulsiveness.
The blood that my father shed that day seemed to still remain on his face, leaving a sticky touch.
If you want to slay the beast in the darkness, you must dive deeper into the darkness.
Mizuno Rena took a deep breath and changed her clothes.
…
Rena Mizunashi walked into the president's office on the 13th floor, holding a cup of coffee and smiling.
"President, you look a little tired. Perhaps you need a cup of coffee?"
The president looked up and waved his hand casually: "Leave it there."
"Okay. Also, these are the materials submitted by the R&D department. I've sorted them out for you."
"Um."
Mizunashi Rena placed the documents on the table and scanned the interior of the room calmly.
Office desks, bookcases, filing cabinets...
Where would the president put the CD?
.
At the same time, on the 12th floor of Nagaki Company.
"Hiroki, just stay here for a while." Kashimura Tadaki touched his son's head and handed him the laptop.
Hiroki Sawada took the computer and nodded.
After watching his father go inside, he sat in the lounge next to the corridor and turned on the computer.
【Welcome, Hiroki.】
The sound of the phone turning on brought a smile to the boy's face.
Let’s try to see if we can pass the [Valley of Thorns] level today!
He opened [The Strongest Player].
This is the latest game from Clumsy Games.
Players can control a hero to explore on a road full of dangers and surprises, gain precious friendships and valuable treasures along the way, defeat various bizarre bosses along the way, and finally return home successfully and in glory.
He is currently in the [Valley of Stranglethorns] map.
The roads here are overgrown with thorns and poisonous weeds, and there are swamps everywhere. If you are not careful, you will die and then automatically rewind to start over.
But for Hiroki Kashimura, these are questions that will no longer bother him after he has done them once - he will try them over and over again, remembering all the traps in each experiment, and in the end he will always be able to successfully pass all the difficulties.
The only thing that bothered him was the final boss of this map.
He has fought this boss many times, but the boss's moves are different every time, completely random and without any pattern.
"Ah... dead again..."
Looking at the [GAME OVER] on the interface, Hiroki Kashimura frowned.
The hero was knocked away by a punch from the boss who made a random move.
This level is really difficult...
"Huh? Isn't this the [Strongest Player]?"
A voice came from behind.
Hiroki Kashimura turned around subconsciously and found a girl with red hair and green eyes staring at his computer curiously.
She is very beautiful, with freckles on her face and bright eyes that make her look innocent.
"Ah, yeah."
Hiroki Kashimura scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
He was not good at socializing to begin with, and now he was alone in an unfamiliar environment, inevitably feeling a little uneasy. He secretly hoped that the girl would lose interest and leave, leaving him alone.
But things went against her will. Instead of leaving, the girl came even closer and chuckled. "You're stuck in the Vale of Thorns! There are some tricks to this level. Do you want me to teach you?"
Hiroki Kashimura subconsciously retorted, "Skills? But the boss's moves are completely random, and the hero only has a single health bar. If he's hit, he'll die instantly..."
"It really does take skill! If the hero couldn't defeat the boss, then there'd be no point in designing the game!" the red-haired girl said seriously, "I cleared this level in no time."
"Really?"
"Really~"
The red-haired girl smiled, as if to say, Come on, I know, come and ask me!
Hiroki Kashimura inexplicably felt that this older sister was the real child.
So he cooperated and asked, "Sister, can you teach me?"
"Hey, of course! But, you know, in the game, if you want to get key items from NPCs, you have to complete their requests. So, if you want me to teach you, you have to do me a favor."
Hiroki Kashimura pouted.
He wanted to be alone again.
"Oh, come on, this is the principle of fair and just exchange of equal value! I won't give you any trouble! It's just that the weather is really hot, and I'm really, really, really craving the ice cream sold at the stall downstairs... But I have something to do soon and I can't leave to go downstairs to buy it."
The red-haired girl clasped her hands together and looked at him eagerly: "Please, this is really important to me!"
Hiroki Kashimura was a little uncomfortable with the girl's enthusiastic gaze. He turned his head and replied uncomfortably, "Okay. What flavor do you want?"
The girl thought about it seriously.
"Hmm...blueberry and matcha flavors."
Hiroki Kashimura nodded, put away his computer, took the change handed to him by the girl and went downstairs.
