Chapter 134 New Dungeon
Day 11 of the road survival game!
Or perhaps the fat piglet himself has nothing to do with that Scottish rat, but the future organization needs him alive? But what's the point? Even if a police undercover agent changes his fate of death, what benefit can he bring to the organization?
And... in order to change that guy's fate of death, they actually caused a near-magnitude 6 earthquake concentrated in that area. Is the technology of the next 25 years really that advanced? Even he finds it hard to imagine.
Just as Gin was reeling from this, his phone received an email. The familiar address displayed a message from that important person: 'Have you noticed anything unusual in your memory? Crow!'
"There are two memories: one of Scotland's death and the other of Scotland's unknown fate. There was no earthquake! Cin!" Gin lit a cigarette with one hand and concisely edited his side of the memory anomaly into an email and sent it over.
At the same time, he thought to himself, it seems that when the timeline of history changes, those who are related to the event will experience fragments of abnormal time and space memories. It's not because he is the older brother of Fat Pig that he has two future memories!
There are several people in the organization who know about what happened in Scotland. Are they all experiencing memory abnormalities now? What are they thinking? Bourbon is one of the people in the know, so he must know that the historical timeline has been altered.
What about others? Would they consider it an illusion? A delusion? Probably. Unless they've had contact with people from the future, how could an average person possibly believe in time travel and changing the fate of people from the past?
Wait a minute! That's not right. Scotland's fate was changed three years ago. Why don't I remember the two different fates of Scotland back then? Instead, I only remember Scotland being missing in the geological disaster.
It wasn't until today that Scotland's original fate was restored? Almost the instant this question arose, Gin, with his keen senses, recalled the two future guys and the fat piglet who had traveled from the future last month and then hurriedly left.
Could it be that they have returned at this point in time? After they enter this point in time, will the anomalies in those historical memories appear in the memories of those who are related to changing their fate?
So, the future fat piglet just traveled to this era when he had another memory of Scotland? Realizing this possibility, Gin almost immediately dialed Bourbon's cell phone and asked him the moment the call connected, "Has Darmo contacted you?"
.
Just over a minute before the call was made, Amuro Tooru, who was working at Poirot Cafe, felt two memories suddenly appear in his mind. With a forceful movement of his finger, he accidentally cut the fresh cream cake in the mini-fridge.
However, he couldn't care less about any of that at the moment. His mind was filled with the two memories that had just appeared: his childhood friend Hiro, whose heart had been pierced by a bullet, his face splattered with blood, leaning against the water tower on the rooftop, lifeless, and Ray standing beside him with his long black hair.
The tragic news that the squad leader died in a car accident while saving someone, his girlfriend committed suicide, and his girlfriend's parents died in a car accident on their way to collect her body, along with the devastating news that Miyano Akemi planned a robbery, murdered a bank guard with her accomplices, and that her accomplices killed each other until only she remained before being silenced by the organization, should all be changed to her disappearance and whereabouts unknown...
The words Hagiwara had said to him last month resurfaced in his mind, finally putting his anxious heart at ease. It really was Hagiwara; he had truly changed Hiro and the class president's fate.
Even the fate of Akemi Miyano, someone he had never mentioned to him, was changed. Was it a butterfly effect from when they went back in time to save Hiro? Or did Hiro tell Hagiwara and the others about Dr. Miyano's family after being saved...?
While Amuro Tooru, who also experienced two different fates in Scotland, had these questions in his heart, he also had similar speculations to Gin, knowing more information, and was thinking about what would happen if he regained his memories at this time, instead of in the future 2025.
Does this mean that Hagiwara and the others have returned to this era? The sudden ringing of his cell phone and the contact name lit up on it made him tense up instantly, and then he habitually showed his bourbon face.
After hearing Gin's blunt question, he replied in a bourbon-esque tone with a half-smile, "Looks like you've seen it too. Unfortunately, I haven't received any contact from him yet. Heh... maybe your line is busy, which is why he can't contact me right now!"
In short, first clear your phone, then ask the store manager for leave as soon as possible, and make the preparations that Hagiwara asked you to do last time. Given Hagiwara's personality, they will definitely contact you first. Only after you have planned everything out will you let that Gin sister, who you can only hear but never see, contact Gin Bar!
"Hmph!" Upon hearing Bourbon's reply, Gin realized that if he continued talking to Bourbon, the fat pig or her annoying boyfriend would also be unable to contact him. Thinking of this, he immediately snorted and hung up the phone without warning.
As he hung up the phone, Amuro Tooru hurriedly made an excuse to ask Manager Poirot for leave and ran straight to the parking lot where he had parked his car as soon as he stepped out of the store...
Meanwhile, Atsushi Date, who was working at the Metropolitan Police Department, stopped looking at the documents he was flipping through, scratched his hair a few times, and muttered to himself in disbelief, "He really did die once."
They really weren't joking with me that day, doing magic tricks. Sigh! I wonder how my father and Natalie are doing now, in the original fate of my death? I hope they won't be sad for too long.
"..." Natalie shook her head immediately, recalling the scene in her mind of her fiancé, with whom she had been engaged and had even discussed the wedding date, dying in a car accident a year ago, and her own suicide.
How could this be? On February 7th last year, he safely rescued someone and wasn't injured himself! Is this just a hallucination caused by lingering fear after knowing he almost had a car accident? It didn't happen for a few days then, but suddenly it happened again after more than a year? How strange?
…………
At this moment, Feng Xingshou was unaware of the consequences of transferring the three people out of the spatial backpack. He was looking around in confusion, noticing that the surrounding lights were dim, except for the bright lights in front of him.
Furthermore, there were empty tables and chairs everywhere in sight, and everyone was gathered in front of the brightest light, which was very similar to the instance they entered when they entered the Twin Towers. Could it be that the instance they entered this time was another banquet hall in a building?
She was just guessing when she heard Hagiwara whisper beside her, "Fū-chan, this instance is supposed to be on a big ship. There's a disaster crisis on the ship in an hour, and it could easily turn into the Titanic. Hold my hand tightly this time and don't get separated from us!"
"Huh? On a ship?" Upon hearing this, Kazesei immediately reached out and grabbed Hagiwara's hand, asking in great surprise, "It looks like a banquet hall to me. How did you know it was on a large ship... Ah... Oh! It's swaying. Although it's not obvious, I can feel a slight swaying under my feet."
Feng Xingshou had been focused on observing her surroundings and hadn't paid any attention to her own body sensations. It was only when she heard Hagiwara say that it was on a large ship that she realized and noticed a slight swaying sensation under her feet.
Seeing that she had realized what was happening, Matsuda looked around and keenly sensed that something was wrong with the banquet hall. After looking carefully, he immediately reminded her, "Hey! Did you guys notice? Inspector Megure is actually here."
“It wasn’t just Inspector Megure; there were other people from the Metropolitan Police Department, including the people in charge of the autopsy. It seems there was a murder on this ship.” Morofushi had also worked briefly at the Metropolitan Police Department for a few months and remembered the older officers there, so he immediately made his deduction.
Hagiwara took a deep breath after hearing this, and sighed helplessly, "Even if there's the part about the game's boost being destroyed, isn't Japan's crime rate just too high?"
"Tsk! Eighty percent of the nation's resources are concentrated in the hands of one percent of the population, while the rest are turned into corporate slaves like machines on a factory assembly line. In a country with this kind of structure, all sorts of terrible things are bound to happen."
Human beings have a limit to their capacity to withstand pressure; once that limit is exceeded, there's a high chance of an explosion. This is the fundamental reason why Japan's crime rate is rising. "Even though I guessed before entering the instance that it would be another scene of destruction."
Matsuda hadn't expected that this instance would take place on a super luxurious cruise ship. What made the others feel that Matsuda's words were too coincidental was that, as soon as he finished speaking, a young man's voice rang out from the front of the venue.
He emotionally recounts how he committed murder on this luxury cruise ship because the Yatsushiro family, Captain Kaito, and others deliberately orchestrated the iceberg collision 15 years ago to sink the cargo ship and kill his father, all in order to secure a huge insurance payout to weather the economic crisis…
Just as Kazesei-no-Mori heard that such a plot, which he had only seen in movies, had appeared in real Japan, Morofushi suddenly narrowed his eyes, winked at Hagiwara and Matsuda, and whispered to them, "Hagiwara, Matsuda, that guy over there looks like former Prime Minister Niimi!"
Everyone in the banquet hall is now gathered at the front desk listening to the young man reveal the truth of the case. Why isn't he there? Why has he gone to a less crowded corner instead? That's a bit unusual.
The three followed his gaze and noticed an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties, well-dressed, and somewhat refined, subtly and cautiously making his way to a corner. Then, in a place so dark that he could barely see, he took out his phone.
"He probably wanted to make a phone call, but it wasn't convenient in the crowd, so he moved to the corner, right?" Feng Xingshou thought the other person looked like a good person, so he subconsciously whispered in Hagiwara's ear, and then asked with some curiosity, "Is this also a former prime minister of Japan? Could it be that former prime minister Ooka?"
“No! He was the prime minister who took over after the term of former Prime Minister Ōoka ended.” Hagiwara Mikaze Seishoku did not know about former Prime Minister Niimi, so he answered, “His term was from 1998 to 2001.”
