Chapter 208 The Future Organization Boss?
◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎
He was somewhat dissatisfied with the declining quality of the future organization's members, and asked a question he had forgotten to ask when he was so shocked by the future information and games: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, who is your future BOSS?"
Before actually exchanging information about the future with these people face to face, Gin always thought that since he, as the organization's BOSS 'cleaner' and 'killer knife,' had an accident, the organization would still exist in the future.
It's highly likely that Rum really did have rebellious intentions and even became the winner. They always assumed that Rum was the future BOSS of the organization. Later, the time for exchanging information was too short, and there was no time to ask about the future of the organization.
Although the last time they talked about the organization very little, mostly about the future and games, Gin also vaguely sensed from his conversation with them that Dalmore and the others seemed to know nothing about Rum, and that he was probably not the future boss of the organization.
But if it wasn't him, then who would it be? If he himself crashes and burns, and that man's 'silver bullet,' which he would never allow anyone else to touch, becomes a spoil of war for the US and Japan, then he should be finished too. Who else in the organization could become the future BOSS?
Vermouth? She is indeed quite capable in many ways, but her identity with the FBI has already been exposed. If she really becomes the organization's boss, the FBI will definitely investigate every aspect of the organization thoroughly.
Cohen and Chianti are at best good at commanding weapons, but they don't have the brains to be leaders. Vodka is the same way. Kiel sometimes acts tough, but he also pulls dirty tricks during missions. He has limited abilities and is not trustworthy enough.
Bourbon is quite capable. On the surface, he only seems to be good at intelligence gathering, but in reality, he always manages to escape unscathed whenever a mission requires combat capabilities, clearly hiding his strength in this area.
He has some knowledge of computer technology and explosives, no wonder he survived to the future. However, the injuries he suffered in the future must have been quite serious, otherwise he wouldn't have retreated behind the scenes to become the leader of a new member of the organization...
So ever since his last meeting and conversation with those people from the future, Gin has been interested in this question, wanting to know which cowardly gentleman survived to the future even without his protection and after having his 'Silver Bullet' taken away.
Or is there a member of the organization who is hiding his true colors, waiting until that gentleman, Rum, and he himself have all fallen before shining brightly? Could he become the organization's successor and rebuild it?
In addition, the gentleman seemed to want to determine whether he had lived to see the future through this answer, and specifically ordered him to ask clearly after this meeting, so he asked while there was still some time.
Gin's question was completely unrelated to their previous topic and came as a surprise. Fortunately, Kazesei hadn't expected this, as Scotland had already discussed it with Hagiwara and Matsuda.
After all, Bourbon had gathered a lot of information about Gin. Even though Scotland had never been on a mission with Gin before the incident, he had guessed that Gin would definitely ask about it when he had the chance. In fact, they thought he would ask about it during their last meeting.
The game's sudden penalty mechanism probably disrupted their rhythm, and they had to leave before they could ask the question, which is why they asked it as soon as they reconnected.
Therefore, upon hearing this question, Hagiwara showed no panic or guilt, and replied in a very normal tone: "Neither Darmo nor I know the answer to this. The organization has always been very secretive."
Aside from our fixed partners, we only see the other members on a few occasions when we are on cooperative missions. The organization's boss is even more mysterious, and he only communicates with us and gives orders via text message or a voice changer when we are working.
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that life ahead is tough and the organization's work is a high-paying job, we wouldn't want to work for such a strange company! But Xiao Bo from the future should know, right? He told us about how powerful the organization used to be in various countries.
Later, due to suppression from the official forces of the United States and Japan, the organization almost disbanded. Judging from the background, he seemed quite knowledgeable about the organization. It's a pity I don't know if he was recruited into the game, or if so, in which region.
To increase persuasiveness, Hagiwara even used the extremely high-pressure working environment in the future mentioned by the Wind Star Guardian to imply that Gin and Matsuda were just employees working for the organization for money, not core figures, and it was normal for them not to know about the organization's boss.
This answer was also the kind of story Scotland devised for Hagiwara and Matsuda based on his impression of the organization's mysterious boss during his undercover work and after learning some information about the future.
.
"..." Upon hearing his answer, Gin remained silent for two seconds, speculating in his mind that this style was somewhat similar to that of that gentleman and Rum. It could be one of them, or it could be a member of an organization familiar with their style imitating them.
I suspect that gentleman wasn't very satisfied with the answer, but so what? It doesn't concern him much. If it weren't for the fact that the organization's influence was too great and that the official forces of the United States and Japan were very hostile towards him.
If he went to other places weaker than the organization, he would be targeted by both the organization and the US and Japan. After realizing that the organization had no ambitions at all, he even wanted to switch sides to avoid being tricked by something like the 'silver bullet' that he had no interest in.
So at this point, who cares whether that person is happy or not! However, judging from the fact that Dalmo and the others haven't shown enough ruthlessness, the organization's BOSS has definitely changed, and the successor is certainly not Rum.
Although that man was a coward, he was absolutely ruthless and cunning, and his methods were often so dirty that they were shameful. Rum, as his trusted confidant, naturally shared a similar personality.
So it turns out that some not-so-shady guy in the organization inherited some of its assets and started rebuilding it, right? Or did Bourbon deliberately pretend to be an ordinary cadre and hide his true identity from Darmo and his group?
Forget it, whatever the answer is, for now, this kind of personality is beneficial to his fat piglets who have to cooperate with them. The rest is none of his business. So he didn't comment on the answer and instead asked, "Where are you? Where are you now? I thought you would arrive yesterday."
"It seems to be a place called the Toto Aquarium. As for why it was a day late, it's because..." Hagiwara breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't ask any further questions. He quickly told Gin about the location information that Morofushi had just deduced, and then explained the problem they had just discovered.
"What a coincidence?" Gin said with some surprise after hearing Hagiwara's answer, and then pondered, "It seems that we can rule out the possibility that the game developers or some supernatural being with super black technology created a cycle between 2014 and 2015 to delay the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano on Earth."
Earth's natural time has always been normal. If only human time is abnormal, then whoever is manipulating this must have some ulterior motive towards humanity. I will arrange for people to collect data on plants and animals from the past year and the coming year to see if all life on Earth is in a time loop, or if it's just a time loop targeting humanity.
"OK! Then I'll leave this to you, Onii!" Hagiwara was very tactful. Even though she had called Gin "Little Gin" to tease Fuusei, she wouldn't dare to call him that knowing it would upset him when they were actually together.
When it's time for the future brother-in-law to show goodwill, he should. Even calling him "brother" now would be quite a shameless move, but his personality and abilities allow him to have a very accurate grasp of the nuances of interpersonal relationships.
After calling him "brother," which reinforced the impression that he would become Gin's brother-in-law in the future, he said something else before Gin could refuse the title: "By the way, what did you mean by 'what a coincidence' earlier?"
"After Bourbon escaped, Vermouth received an email from Rum saying that Curaçao had sent them a message at that time, stating that Bourbon and Kiel were not spies from other factions."
However, we had previously received news that Curaçao had lost her memory and went to the hospital for a checkup. We are unsure of the authenticity of the information transmitted by Curaçao's mobile phone, so we still have doubts about Bourbon and Kiel.
At the same time, Rum also mentioned that the Japanese Public Security Bureau had brought Curaçao to the Tokyo Aquarium where you are located about 20 minutes ago. Gin did not hide any relevant information from "people in his own organization" and "comrades" who could be trusted to a certain extent.
Scotland, who was standing nearby, heard his words and thought about Gin's practice of using large-scale methods to destroy all traces if he couldn't handle certain 'trouble' discreetly, and the reason why they were here.
Realizing what was happening immediately, he quickly leaned over Hagiwara's phone and asked into the phone, "Gin, you didn't arrange for someone to put something dangerous in this Toto Aquarium, did you?"
“There are indeed bombs, but they were a backup plan in case we were intercepted by the Japanese Public Security Bureau when we retake Curaçao. I’m not sure if we’ll use them, but since you’re there, it seems that the original timeline development was used!” Gin did not deny Scotland’s speculation.
Matsuda was puzzled: "From what you're saying, Curaçao was only brought here 20 minutes ago. How could you have planted explosives here at the Tokyo Aquarium beforehand?"
He and Hagi knew best about explosives. They were well aware that to create a destructive explosion in such a vast and bustling place, a considerable quantity would be required, and it would take a long time to install them properly. It was simply impossible to install them within 20 minutes.
"Curaçao was an experimental subject in Rum's research project on target brainwashing through light hypnosis." Gin realized from their attitude that Curaçao was probably no longer around, otherwise they wouldn't have asked this question, so he simply said this.
