Chapter 110 A Torn Heart
However, it was uncertain where in Japan they could reach to complete the copy. They could only gamble on whether they could contact Morofushi Kagemitsu or Furuya Rei within the copy's timeframe. Fortunately, that timeframe was only one month before Matsuda's incident.
Given his remaining phone credit, as long as no one cancels his number within a month, his phone should still be usable, and there's a high probability that he won't be able to contact anyone using his phone.
Because the further they drove, the lower the quality of the treasure chests along the road became, and the lower the dungeon level, the treasure chests they found in the afternoon were all wooden chests. They didn't get anything good when they opened them, just some ordinary vegetables and drinking water.
Even the treasure chests that drop in the dungeon at night, when opened by the lucky Wind Star Guardian the next day, only yield some miscellaneous rewards that are of little value but not exactly junk either.
The only truly useful thing was that she obtained the toilet paper production blueprint, which means that she can now produce toilet paper through the game's processing panel whenever she collects wood and water. This is a great gain for them, who currently rely on paper collected from dungeons to meet their daily needs.
After finishing the morning treasure chests and having breakfast, since they didn't need to drive this morning, it wasn't convenient for Feng Xing Shou Xue to practice driving, lest he get the route and the distance of the historical time wrong due to stopping and starting.
So she focused on learning theoretical knowledge. When she got tired of studying, she simply dragged Hagiwara and Matsuda along to the trading area to trade and process various car parts for other survivors.
As a result, their district saw a surge of dozens of Tier 2 vehicles by the end of the morning, and they also accumulated a large amount of materials and supplies. It seems that, apart from daily necessities, there will be no shortage of production materials in the short term.
Time flew by in their busy schedule, and before they knew it, it was time for the new dungeon to open. This time, they prepared lunch in advance and finished eating around 11 a.m., waiting for the dungeon to open so they could be in top condition for today's challenge...
.
After using his backpack space to take them into the dungeon, Fengxing Shou immediately released them from the backpack space. As soon as Matsuda came out, he took out his phone to check the current time after the automatic network connection was corrected.
After seeing that the phone had successfully connected to the network and automatically corrected the time, he breathed a sigh of relief: "This time the time is normal, it is the 23:47 we calculated for December 6, 2011."
“It seems that the coordinates we were at the day before yesterday, and the coordinates of the past time, do indeed have three 2014-2015 periods. I just wonder if there are any other 2014-2015 periods after that coordinate?” Hagiwara said without waiting for Matsuda’s reply.
He continued, "Jinpei, call Kofuruya immediately and find out Komorobuchi's current situation. Fuu-chan and I will check the status of this instance."
"OK!" Matsuda gestured while dialing Furuya Rei's number on his phone.
Meanwhile, Feng Xing Shou and Hagiwara also tacitly observed the environment of this instance. Compared to the other instances, today's instance was a bit unexpected, because they seemed to be in an abandoned building.
The room was dimly lit. Hagiwara used his phone's flashlight to find the power switch and pressed it, but the lights didn't turn on. He tried to turn on the faucet, but there was no water.
The presence of water indicates that the house is in an abandoned state after its water and electricity have been cut off.
Based on what could be seen using only a phone flashlight, it was likely a floor of a building. Inside, there were only a few old-fashioned office chairs that were crookedly placed and covered in dust, and some broken cabinets; there were no other items.
Looking out the window, all around was pitch black. Apart from the lights in the distance, all I could see were the outlines of buildings of varying heights. Without the lights, I couldn't even tell how many floors those buildings had.
Not to mention, by comparing the different floors, they were able to deduce which floor this was on, and they found no dangerous items that could cause the building to collapse—no bombs, no flammable materials…
Upon seeing the results, Hagiwara could only say, "At least it's confirmed that the annihilation crisis of this instance isn't on this level. Kaze-chan, are you trapped on this level by the instance? Have you found the exit?"
"There are no restrictions. I just tried it and I was able to walk out through that open door, but I was worried that you would contact me, so I didn't continue walking out. There are no other dungeon exits nearby."
"I estimate we might have to look for the dungeon elsewhere outside the door." When Feng Xing Shou heard Hagiwara calling her, she quickly gathered up the last broken cabinet inside the dungeon and returned to his side to answer him in his ear.
Hearing the voice beside him, Hagiwara nodded and said, "I understand. After Kojinpei and Kofuruya finish contacting each other, we'll go outside and check the situation."
"Okay!" After agreeing, Fengxing Shou looked curiously at Matsuda.
.
Matsuda helplessly raised his phone and waved it, then said with a wry smile, "This time the phone can make calls, but I can't get through to either Furuya's or Keidan's phones. Judging from the notification sounds, they seem to be switched off."
It turns out that when he was checking the dungeon environment in Hagiwara and Kazesei-no-Kami, he experienced several attempts to call Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu's mobile phones, but both phones were switched off and could not be reached.
"It seems they're not doing well right now and can't communicate!" Hagiwara knew that if he pretended to be a member of the Future Organization and contacted Gin, he should be able to find out about Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu's current situation from him.
However, if the future members have these altered memories, their actions today will make Gin realize that the so-called future organization members are a lie, and he will conduct a more detailed investigation into them in order to find out their information.
That would likely expose Kofuuya, and since they've always been with Fuu-chan, if a lie is discovered, he might break his promise to Fuu-chan and contact Fuu-chan in 2015. The resulting butterfly effect would most likely escalate in a negative direction...
Because he considered all of this in an instant, even though he couldn't contact Furuya and Morofushi right now, Hagiwara still didn't think about contacting Gin. Instead, he looked at Matsuda and asked, "Should we contact the squad leader to go to the place where Morofushi died? Maybe we can stop Morofushi from committing suicide."
"Don't forget what Furuya told you: Jingdan was driven to the brink of death by the organization during his escape and chose to commit suicide. He originally had a chance to be rescued by his colleagues in the Public Security Bureau, but the people in that organization caused a mass food poisoning incident during his escape route."
Road traffic accidents and other issues have hampered official rescue efforts, indicating that they have a large number of personnel in Japan.
Even if only the FBI agent and Furuya were present when Jing Dan died, there must have been many more members of that organization around.
It's too dangerous for the squad leader to face those guys alone. He has a girlfriend he's dating, and we can't let him take such a big risk. If we ask him to contact the police, the people in that organization will probably deliberately create an incident that could affect the police's ability to get there for a rescue.
They might even openly assault the police; their behavior suggests they're not people who can be intimidated by official forces. Matsuda immediately rejected Hagiwara's suggestion, then frowned slightly for two seconds, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
He continued, "Why don't we check the situation of this instance first, and see how close it is to the place where Jing Dan had the accident? If it's close, you can stay and protect Feng Jiang, while I'll go to the place where Jing Guang committed suicide and wait for an opportunity to rescue him."
"..." Hagiwara was stunned. He understood what his best friend meant. Before he could contact Kofuruya, Kojinpei decided to risk going to rescue people himself. Given Komorofushi's situation, if the rescue went smoothly, Matsuda might not be able to return to this instance.
If the rescue doesn't go smoothly, he himself might become a victim of that transnational criminal organization. So, Kojinpei told himself to stay behind so that no matter what happens, he could leave the instance and continue protecting Fuu-chan...
Understanding the other person's thoughts, he subconsciously reached out and grasped the soft touch in his hand. Even though he couldn't see the familiar figure, he knew that Kaze-chan was right next to him. If he hadn't met Kaze-chan, he would definitely have rejected Kojinpei's suggestion without hesitation.
He could either go alone or go with Xiaozhenping, but... he couldn't take the risk now. If he couldn't get back to the dungeon area in time, Fengjiang would have to go to that dangerous racing track by himself.
With her driving skills, going there now would be like delivering food to someone. He didn't want Feng Jiang to die in that kind of place. If things got even worse and he died there, Feng Jiang would definitely use her ability to come back from the dead to save him.
Unfortunately, Kojinpei knows he has feelings for Fuu-chan. Even if he offers to go instead of leaving Fuu-chan, Fuu-chan won't agree. What should he do? Isn't there a way to resolve this dilemma?
Just as Hagi was struggling with Matsuda's suggestion and unable to respond, Kazesei asked speechlessly, "Hey! Why does Matsuda have to go through all that trouble? If you want to find out the location, you can use your phone to locate it! His phone is working now, isn't it?"
As for the rest, let's find out our location first. I think you don't need to rush, there are still more than 50 minutes! Since your brother's colleagues can use methods such as blocking traffic to hinder the Japanese police from rescuing your friends.
"Knowing the location where your friend was last seen, if you could pinpoint the exact location, you could find a way to disrupt the FBI agent and other members' transportation, preventing them from tracking your friend!"
As the guardian of the wind star in 2025, I'm used to being able to quickly solve location problems by using my phone to order takeout, check maps, and do anything else, so I'm quite confused by what Matsuda just said.
Moreover, her brother had taught her that when faced with trouble, one should think in reverse to find a solution, using the enemy's methods to resolve one's own crisis. The enemy would most likely be caught off guard by the methods she devised and the fact that she hadn't even considered how to handle the aftermath.
