Chapter 215 Rejected?
◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎
While Bourbon was answering, Scotland turned on his phone's speakerphone so that Gin could hear his reply. Gin was surprised to learn that Bourbon was also at the Tokyo Aquarium and had climbed that dangerous giant Ferris wheel.
In order to abduct Curaçao from the police and prove that he was not an undercover agent, he became even less suspicious of Bourbon, who already had doubts about Bourbon being an undercover agent, due to the influence of future information.
His tone was no longer as menacing as before; he said directly into the phone, "Ask him how much information he has about Curaçao now."
Scotland knew he had to maintain his professional ethics as a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, despite the fact that the Bureau had betrayed him and almost killed him. He was torn between the Public Security Bureau and his organization and couldn't bring himself to abandon his original professional conduct. Therefore, he did not respond to Gin's words.
Hagi readily cooperated, holding his own phone in one hand and taking Scotland's phone in the other. His voice remained as steady as ever as he cheerfully addressed Scotland's phone, "Little Bourbon, Gin is asking how much information you have about Curaçao right now!"
"I only found out that Curaçao is currently waiting to ride the Ferris wheel with a young Japanese male police officer at the Ferris wheel landing gate. I plan to wait until they enter the Ferris wheel cabin."
He climbed down the Ferris wheel's rotating poles into their cabin and rescued Curaçao. Being called "Little Bourbon" in Hagiwara's nonchalant tone eased his initial tension and his disappointment and anger over the hidden corruption within the Japanese Public Security Bureau.
Feng Xingshou, who had been keeping quiet because of the tense atmosphere between his brother and Hagiwara's friend, was relieved to see that their 'misunderstanding' had been cleared up.
After overhearing Bourbon's conversation, knowing the situation in the instance, she immediately leaned over to Hagiwara's phone and interjected, "Bourbon-san, hurry up and get off the Ferris wheel. According to the rules of the instance, even if your brother and the others have changed their methods now..."
"If we don't sabotage this Ferris wheel, it will also collapse in reality when the instance ends, and it will be extremely dangerous to be still on it then..."
"What?" Upon hearing Feng Xingshou's words, Bourbon recalled that after the Suzuki Express incident, the last cargo hold of that train derailed from the carriages in front, and was burned beyond recognition when the staff returned to check the situation.
The damage was severe, with only some metal remnants remaining. He initially thought it was because the mutated termites were too ferocious and had gnawed at the cargo hold so badly that the explosives in the rear cargo hold had detonated due to instability.
Only now did he realize that even if the duplicates appeared and they changed the course of events, the destructive effects of history would not be eliminated. He was horrified, especially since his trusted subordinate, Kazami, was about to ride the Ferris wheel! Not to mention that there were still so many tourists at the Touto Aquarium.
Gin heard what Feng Xingshou said. After a moment's thought on the other end of the phone, he immediately ordered, "Bourbon, evacuate from the Ferris wheel immediately, and notify Rum to stop testing the Osprey. Instruct Vermouth to activate the first bomb on the Ferris wheel."
.
"Hey!" Upon hearing that Gin was going to detonate the bomb on the Ferris wheel, Matsuda's expression immediately changed. He said irritably to the phone in Hagiwara's hand that was connected to Gin, "Have you forgotten that Kaze-chan is here too? If you detonate the bomb, the same effect will occur in the instance dimension. Do you want to blow her up?"
"Hmph! My fat piglet is none of your business." Although Gin's words were unpleasant to hear, his tone, which clearly showed no anger, indicated that he was not holding a grudge against Dalmo for his poor attitude towards him due to his concern for the safety of the Wind Star Guardian.
He even explained: "I had 10 bombs installed at key locations on the Ferris wheel. Only by detonating them all can we break the axle and support frame of this huge double-wheeled Ferris wheel and cause this behemoth to collapse."
If only one set is started, the Ferris wheel will shake violently, but it will not break immediately. Afterwards, the staff of the Tokyo Aquarium will immediately stop the Ferris wheel from operating for safety reasons.
The explosion at the scene would inevitably cause panic, prompting unrelated people to evacuate. The rats, to ensure Curaçao's safety, would also stop riding the Ferris wheel and attempt to evacuate her.
"As long as we set up hunting grounds along their escape route, we can still reclaim Curaçao..." This guy's adaptability and tactical arrangements are so impressive that there's nothing to criticize.
It feels like if the organization didn't have this guy, the difficulty of eliminating him would drop from SS level to A level... o(￣ヘ￣o＃) Bourbon heard Gin's words and inwardly complained about Gin's ruthlessness.
On one hand, he deliberately used the bourbon-loving tone to respond to his words, to show that his bottle of bourbon was not fake, and that he was determined to save Curaçao. He was not at all guilty about Curaçao's suspicion that he was an undercover agent.
Hagiwara, listening to his future brother-in-law and his friend putting on an act, couldn't help but chuckle. With that chuckle, he deliberately teased them, "Heh...no wonder you're the future brother-in-law drinking bourbon sauce, you're quite in sync!"
"Tsk tsk!" Matsuda couldn't help but click his tongue and complain as he watched his childhood friend dancing on the head of an elephant, "If you ever get a sack over your head, it'll be your own fault."
"How could that be? I'm such a lovable and charming person, who would be so cruel to me!" Hagiwara said, then deliberately raised an eyebrow in the direction where he could feel the wind spirit touching him: "Wind-chan, don't you think so?"
"Huh?" Feng Xing Shou was thinking about something else when he suddenly heard a voice calling his name. He was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
"What was Kaze-chan thinking just now?" Her reaction surprised not only Hagiwara, but also Matsuda, Morofushi, and the people on the other end of the two phones. After all, with their keen insight, they had noticed from Kaze Hoshinobu's reaction that her mind did not seem to be on the conversation between the group.
At this moment, even though he knew they couldn't see him from their dimension, Feng Xingshou felt like all three of them were staring at him, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Uh... I just wanted to know how big the dungeon is this time."
Based on past experience, anything within the boundaries of a dungeon will eventually perish. If the area is large enough this time, it might be possible to collect a lot of resources in such a place…”
.
She felt it was somewhat dishonest to say in front of the Japanese police that she wanted to take away their people's property, so the more she spoke, the more guilty she felt, and the softer her voice became.
But he couldn't help but imagine that if he collected enough resources this time, he could at least dismantle this giant Ferris wheel, collect the materials, and sell them according to his physical strength each day. He should be able to quickly accumulate enough to buy the dosage of medicine for his synthesis attempt.
If we can really synthesize a mental energy potion, then when I see my brother next time, can I give it to him and let him try it? And if their previous statement about the selection criteria for capturing survivors in the game being based on the advantage of mental energy talent is correct.
The older brother, who awakened his spiritual power ten years before the game began, will definitely be captured by the game in the future and become one of the game's survivors, as long as he survives the ordeal.
Given his brother's ruthlessness and the random skills he's learned, if he were to actually enter this lousy game, he'd definitely tear it to shreds...
"Heh... Indeed, it would be such a waste to just let so many supplies be destroyed. It's good that we take them with us. Besides, the game will recycle some of the supplies we need." Hearing the guilty conscience in Feng Jiang's voice, Hagiwara knew without guessing why his beloved was feeling guilty, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Matsuda, who was next to him, suddenly remembered something when he heard what he said. He quickly spoke into the phone to Gin, but in a volume that both Gin and Bourbon could hear, "By the way, speaking of resource collection, something was disrupted when we met last time by mutated termites."
I forgot to tell you, if you have enough funds, it would be best to collect as much Zhongzhou-produced baijiu as possible, the older the better. For some reason, we've collected this kind of liquor again, and the game's buyback price is quite good..."
Even if Matsuda didn't say the rest, Gin and Bourbon's insight and reasoning abilities could deduce what Darmo meant. Since the game would buy back baijiu at a good price, the liquor might have an unusual use in the game.
In the future, it may play a significant role in solving game problems. At the very least, it can be exchanged for a large amount of resources in the game based on its value, allowing vehicles to be upgraded quickly and become more functional. Gin and Bourbon, understanding the implication in his words, responded in unison on the other end of the phone: "OK!"
"learn!"
After responding, Gin added, "Bourbon, proceed according to the instructions. Fat Piglet, Granwitt, and Darmo, you guys gather the supplies first. I should be able to reach the East Capital Aquarium in about 10 minutes. We'll talk about the rest when we meet."
"Yes, yes!" Feng Xingshou nodded quickly after hearing this.
Hagiwara wanted to exchange a few more polite words with his future brother-in-law, but Gin's phone hung up.
Scotland, who had been keeping quiet, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Hagiwara also relaxed a bit and said casually into Scotland's phone, "Bourbon, Gin's phone has been disconnected. What's the situation on your end? Is it safe?"
“Don’t worry, I’m fine here, but someone wants to ask you to do something…” Bourbon said, glancing at Akai Shuichi, who was looking down at the survey results on his phone and whose brows were furrowing more and more as he looked at them, before telling Hagiwara and the others about his request.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Hagiwara refused without consulting Kazesei-no-Mori and Matsuda, saying directly, "Sorry, Bourbon, we can't help with this!"
