Chapter 225 Ooka Autumn Leaves
◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎
"Hmph!" Gin couldn't see the instance dimension where the Wind Star Guardian was located, so he naturally couldn't sense her guilty conscience. In his opinion, Hagiwara's behavior was to please him so that he wouldn't object to his relationship with Fat Pig.
Naturally, he didn't notice anything amiss, so he snorted coldly to show that he wasn't interested in such flattery, and then continued, "Compared to that guy, what's more worthy of attention is Ooka Momiji."
"Ooka Momiji?" Bourbon was taken aback. She was just a high school girl. Even if news about her appeared in the future, it would only be about her misappropriating low-powered weapons to interfere with other people's love when she was young. What was there to be concerned about?
Kazesei and Hagiwara also looked at Gin with some curiosity.
With his hands in the pockets of his black coat, Gin calmly replied, "I couldn't find anything about her."
Upon hearing this, Bourbon and Hagiwara immediately became serious. Gin's work ability was evident to all; in just one year, he was able to uncover the hidden identities of Shinichi Kudo and the others.
Even double agents within the organization and the public security bureau couldn't escape his eyes. This person actually talked about Ooka Momiji's matter, and he couldn't find anything about it. In the eyes of these professional police officers, there were huge problems involved.
"Is she still receiving preferential treatment in her family?" Bourbon asked with a half-smile almost immediately afterward.
Gin seemed to know what Bourbon was asking, and gave a brief answer: "As far as the Japanese are concerned about the treatment of illegitimate children, apart from not living with the legal wife and the legal wife's children, they are treated the same as legitimate children."
"Tsk tsk!" Matsuda stopped and clicked his tongue twice almost immediately, expressing his surprise.
Feng Xingshou looked around blankly at the sudden tension in the air, and listening to their riddle-like words, he couldn't help but walk back to Hagiwara and ask, "Hagiwara, what's wrong with you guys? Is what Big Brother said that serious?"
"Hmm! Didn't you say that in the future, the outside media reported that Ooka Momiji was suspected of having an illegitimate daughter, and that she was of mixed Western descent? With your future brother-in-law's abilities, after hearing the information you provided, he will definitely investigate who her biological mother is?"
He just said he couldn't find anything, which means that the information about her birth mother is more confidential than the public security information about that Iori Muga. Also, consider that the other party's physical characteristics are that she is of mixed Japanese and Western descent.
The Ooka family is one of Japan's top wealthy and powerful families. It is certain that some family members are members of the Symbiotic Reproduction Cult, which is suspected to have originated in Western countries. With so many issues intertwined, it is easy to make some dangerous associations.
Could the inability to find her information be because she is a high-ranking member of the Symbiosis Cult? Given Japan's seemingly open but actually conservative and closed-minded approach, illegitimate children are generally subject to contempt and bullying from their peers or even those of lower status.
Not to mention that she was a half-Japanese, half-Westerner with such obvious physical characteristics, yet she did not suffer because of her background and was even treated well by the Ooka family. This is likely because her birth mother's status was no lower than that of the Ooka family head's principal wife.
Most importantly, the double agent Iori Muga, who was suspected of being under the command of the Symbiosis Cult and had betrayed Scotland, became her butler after completing his undercover mission, which made her seem rather suspicious. Hagiwara Mikaze, unaware of the reason for everyone's serious reaction, immediately explained to her.
.
Feng Xingshou never expected that there was such a hidden flow of information beneath the surface, especially since the daughter of the head of the Ooka family, whom she thought was insignificant compared to the messy events in Japan, could actually hide so many secrets.
If it weren't for her brother and Hagiwara, even if she traveled to every single copy of Japan every day, she probably wouldn't have noticed any of this! -_-|| She felt ashamed of her own slowness, while also being bothered by Hagiwara and the others mentioning the rather suspicious background of Ooka Momiji.
She began to carefully recall information related to her future in her mind. As she was thinking, she suddenly looked up at the group of people who were about to say something and said, "Oh right, I remember now, Ooka Momiji's future husband was mentioned in the Japanese news report."
I remember seeing the Chinese character "伊" (Yi), so maybe he's Ooka Momiji's future husband. But I haven't seen a picture of him, so I'm not entirely sure. Ah! I remember he has naturally curly hair. If the person you found also has naturally curly hair, then it should be correct.
“Eh! Is that so? But if we speculate that Ooka Momiji is the daughter of an important figure in the Symbiosis Cult, and Iori Muga was able to serve as her butler and later marry her, it seems that she is not a dispensable pawn of the Symbiosis Cult!” Bourbon said, a dangerous smile appearing on his face.
Scotland recalled his memories of his contact with Iori Muga before realizing, "No wonder. When I was with him, I could always sense a faint but dangerous aura about him. I always felt that his abilities were not as ordinary as he appeared."
I don't understand why, even though he infiltrated the organization a year earlier than me, he's still a low-level member while I've been promoted to a cadre position. It seems he's deliberately appearing mediocre to avoid attracting the organization's attention.
"And the main task is actually to monitor public security undercover agents like you?" Hagiwara said this with a smile that was as warm as a spring breeze, but this time the smile was not revealed in his eyes.
Matsuda, standing nearby, also understood that the other party's main purpose in infiltrating the organization was probably not a public security mission at all, but rather to monitor and control the progress of Keidana and Furuya's undercover investigation, and to obtain all information about the Silver Bullet...
"Heh..." Gin sneered, about to mock the rat in his eyes, when he suddenly heard a violent explosion from the Ferris wheel, causing those standing around it to feel the ground shake violently.
They witnessed the Ferris wheel sway slightly, followed by screams from the surrounding crowd. People began to panic and scatter, fleeing the giant two-wheeled Ferris wheel.
Meanwhile, the people on the Ferris wheel couldn't help but scream for help. Seeing this, Gin's eyes remained calm, his face cold and expressionless. He simply said, "It's starting."
"I reckon the aquarium staff will start evacuating people soon. Shall we find a secluded spot to hide?" Bourbon said, then looked at Gin, seemingly worried, and asked, "Is everything alright in Curaçao?"
"Don't worry, everything's been arranged." Seeing how concerned he was about reclaiming Curaçao, and how he showed no remorse or worry after being assured that he wouldn't fail, Gin's suspicion that Gin wasn't an undercover agent increased.
.
Thinking about his plan to synthesize a mental potion, Feng Xingshou simply asked them, "Hagiwara, ask them if they need anything else? If not, we need to go and gather supplies."
This time, the instance dimension covers the area around the Ferris wheel in the center of the aquarium. With such a large area, it's estimated that a considerable amount of various resources can be collected.
After hearing her words, Hagiwara immediately translated them for the others.
"Ahem! I can help you gather supplies while continuing to exchange intelligence with you." Upon hearing this, Bourbon immediately expressed his eagerness not to separate from Feng Xingshou and the others. They had only met once a year, and he didn't want to part ways after just a few words.
Gin, however, looked around and said without the slightest reluctance, "Then you guys get back to work, I'll be going now, see you next year."
"Tsk! Your older brother is really carefree." Matsuda looked at the figure in the black overcoat, somewhat incredulous that he had actually just left like that.
Scotland was also somewhat surprised: "He came in person just to tell us the results of his year-long investigation?"
"Uh... that's just my brother's personality! He never gets sentimental, and no matter how long he's away on business, he never shows any reluctance to leave." Feng Xingshou could guess.
The older brother probably came in person because he was worried about Officer Zhu Fushi, whom he considered a rat. After confirming his safety, he felt there was no need for him to stay. However, it was not easy to explain this to everyone, as it would be too embarrassing to say it out loud!
Bourbon couldn't hear what Feng Xingshou was saying. Seeing his friends' surprise, he smiled and said cryptically, "After all, he's the third-in-command of the organization. He's very busy. He probably only managed to squeeze out a little time from his busy schedule just now!"
"Alright, let's gather supplies first. I just found quite a few places to collect resources within the dungeon area. We can talk about the rest as we go." Matsuda noticed Furuya's words were a bit ambiguous and, worried that Fuu-chan might be overthinking things, changed the subject.
He immediately led the way in the direction he had previously chosen: "Let's go this way first. I just saw the food section and the vending machine section are all over here. Let's collect everything here first, and then go in other directions."
"Mmm!" Upon hearing that they could finally start collecting things, Feng Xingshou was extremely enthusiastic, regardless of whether the others could hear him or not.
The urgent voice made Hagiwara smile. He grasped the unseen hand and led her to catch up with Matsuda's footsteps.
Bourbon deliberately slowed his pace and walked over to Scotland, whispering beside him, "How are you? No problems, right?"
"Heh... We've only been apart for a day in my time, what could possibly happen? Besides, Feng Sang is a very nice person, and she doesn't seem like a sibling to Gin at all. There's no need to worry about her harming me." Scotland knew what Bourbon was worried about and quickly reassured him.
After spending the last few days together, he had observed that Feng Xing Shou's personality was indeed genuine and without any pretense, so he was not worried that she would harm him on the road to survival.
Seeing how serious he looked, and knowing that he wasn't lying to comfort her, Bourbon finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"But you're going to have a lot of trouble over the next year, right? After all, Gin has already found out the identities that Shinichi Kudo and Shiho Miyano are using, and he might make a move against them at any time?" Scotland said in a low voice, glancing around as he avoided the panicked people who were fleeing.
