Chapter 37 Chapter 37 The Eve of the Battle "Then...
"So, Officer Sen, how are the things I asked you to prepare going?" Seeing that no one spoke, the player asked with a serious expression.
"It will take two more days." said Mori Ogai.
"Wow, really? That's quite a long time." Looking at the collected medicines and weapons in the task bar, the player smiled meaningfully.
It's interesting that NPCs can actually do this kind of double-faced tricks.
The player, curious about what the NPC was up to, didn't expose his words. Instead, he took the initiative to talk about his own experience today. "I went out today and met a highly intelligent person named Yukito Ayatsuji. I gave him the Silver Handwritten Note, and I've successfully convinced him to join my faction."
"So, if he comes to report, remember to report it to me."
"Ayatsuji Yukito?"
Mori Ogai stroked his chin, reminiscing. "I remember him being a relatively active detective in Tokyo."
"This guy is famous for solving cases where the criminals always end up dying in various accidents. He's almost as famous as the recently rising detective Kogoro Mouri in Beika Town, who encounters cases whenever he goes out."
"The luck of these two people is really compatible in some ways." The black-haired man sighed as if unintentionally.
"Oh, Mr. Mori, do you think this is luck?" Dazai Osamu, who had observed the leader's itinerary today, naturally saw the two protagonists mentioned by Mori Ogai. None of them were so simple as to attribute all this to luck...
Are you testing again?
Dazai Osamu sneered and thought to himself, it would be better to believe me and become the leader of the port mafia than to believe Mori Ogai's lies.
"Oh, actually, meeting Xingrenjun was just a coincidence. He was the only one who was so handsome among that group of people and stood out from the others. I didn't expect that I would find out that he was not an ordinary person when I started chatting with him." The player also sighed at his good luck.
Handsome NPCs definitely have hidden identities or unknown pasts..., my experience has proven true!
Elena looked at the little girl with some amusement and couldn't help but touch her soft long hair.
"As for that Maori Kogoro..." The player curled his lips. "That guy isn't worth paying attention to. That kid and his blond-haired, dark-skinned disciple are more worthy of attention. They both used fake names, which is really interesting."
The player forgets what he said as soon as he finishes speaking, so the NPC has a lot to consider.
Mori Ogai, who was possessive of Yokohama to some extent, immediately sounded the alarm and decided to send someone to investigate the background of the two people the girl mentioned.
"So, is there anything else you want to talk about?" The player looked around. "If everything is fine, go and rest."
As for the players...
The player is a person who can go to bed at two o'clock and get up at six o'clock. It is only seven o'clock in the evening and there is no rush to go to bed.
The player who spends his time to the utmost even when playing single-player games reveals a subtle smile - On a dark and windy night, it's time to steal and cheat!
*
Two days passed uneventfully, and the players finally received the complete documents prepared by Sen Gan - on how to give CSS a good kick in the ass!
"It's GSS..., BOSS..." someone said quietly.
"Well, that's not the point." With a flick of his cloak, the player, sitting upright, really looked like a leader.
After glaring at the clueless young man without changing his expression, the player continued, "Is everything ready? When is the attack scheduled? Who will defend the headquarters? What is the attack route planned?"
Those who can sit with the players are basically the players' high-level tools. Apart from the three cadres Mori Ogai, Ozaki Kouyo and Oda Sakunosuke, there are only secretary Elena, teacher Dazai Osamu and the captain of the Black Lizard, the most important action department of the Port Mafia, Hirotsu Liulang, and the silly deputy captain XXXX.
"Everything necessary is ready. The attack is scheduled for tonight. Lord Hongye will lead the troops to guard the headquarters to prevent the GSS or other mafia from taking advantage of the situation. As for the battle route..."
Mori Ogai answered all the leader's questions in an orderly manner, and then handed over a document.
"Chief, please look."
"Yeah, that's good, that's good, but—" the player looked at the document, which stated an 85% success rate and a 50% casualty rate. He nodded in approval of the NPC's enthusiasm, then changed his tune, "Isn't the mortality rate too high? Half the people dying? Don't you have any other options?"
"Also, what kind of work did Hongye do originally?" The player continued to ask without waiting for the NPC to answer.
I always have a bad feeling that I'm going to make a fool of myself.
"...Chief, I am mainly responsible for intelligence and interrogation." The elegant red-haired woman in kimono half covered her mouth and chuckled, not angry about this little episode.
To be honest, she was the one who avoided the leader first.
"Oh, hahaha... I see. Ahem, Chief Mori, please revise your strategy. It's okay to draw more GSS members to me. Write a new one for me before 12 o'clock."
The player who changed the subject aimed his sights at Officer Jinsen and threw the document in his hand back, indicating that he refused to use it.
Every NPC is a valuable employee of the player! How can he handle it like this? If he continues to use them like this, sooner or later, such a huge industry will be destroyed by him!
"Okay, Chief." Mori Ogai silently took back the document and held it in his arms. He neither defended himself nor looked at the mocking look from Dazai Osamu. He acted as if he was just doing his job honestly. If someone else saw it, they might feel a little guilty.
It’s a pity that players have no conscience at all. Even if they do, their conscience will only be placed on girls!
Haha, show the action to the blind.jpg
"Is it okay for Sister Hongye to guard the headquarters? Do you want to leave more people behind?" the player asked with concern.
"Don't worry, chief. I still have this ability." Ozaki Hongye didn't expect that the first thing the chief did after criticizing Mori Ogai was to care about herself. This was a little unexpected for her.
[Name: Ozaki Momiji
Age: 18
Do you have special abilities: Yes (Golden Yaksha)
Faction: Port Mafia
Favorite things: Tempura, pickles
Note: A woman dressed in a kimono, with elegant manners, carrying a paper umbrella, and skilled in swordsmanship. Due to past experiences, she no longer believes in love and hope.
"That'll do."
Ignore everything else and just look at the combat effectiveness!
With his superb swordsmanship and special abilities, it shouldn't be a big problem. At worst, we can just leave some more weapons at the headquarters.
After taking a closer look at the character introduction of the red-haired woman, the player could clearly see from it that she had strong fighting power, and then he nodded in relief.
"Odasaku, just follow me and be my bodyguard." The player looked at the taciturn red-haired man. After seeing him nod, he turned back to Dazai Osamu and said, "Dazai, you can stay at the headquarters and take command. Elena will protect you~"
As he spoke, the player took out the so-called ordinary sword and handed it to her.
"Just leave it to me with confidence." Elena, who has a deep connection with players, naturally knows that this sword is extraordinary.
"Hey, why do you want me to stay at the headquarters? I also want to follow the leader~" Dazai Osamu puffed up his cheeks, looking dissatisfied. "Does the leader really trust me to take charge?"
"Yeah, don't worry." The player looked at Dazai Osamu, who was even more relaxed, with a loving look in his eyes. "Dazai has grown a lot in the past two days. He's just a GSS."
Even if it's an NPC, looking energetic is much better than looking autistic and dead.
Although Dazai Osamu was intelligent, he was still young after all. The GSS was still a powerful mafia, so how could they be so disrespectful...
Mori Ogai subconsciously denied the girl's judgment. According to his optimal solution, the leader and Oda Sakunosuke should not be placed in the same place at all.
Oda Sakunosuke, a man who had joined the Port Mafia as a killer for less than a week, had already made his quirk known to many people - he didn't kill people.
A former assassin, now a mafia member, possessing precognitive abilities, yet espousing a philosophy of not killing, even being tacitly approved by the leader! This is truly incomprehensible and unacceptable.
It is totally not the optimal solution.
I wanted to take this opportunity to find out his background and see if this person has higher value, but I didn't expect that the plan was denied by Kamikami Chiyo from the beginning.
Is there any way to turn it around...
Mori Ogai's thoughts were interrupted by the leader's next words.
"Mori, take your daughter and Black Lizard Team One to double-team. Odasaku and I will lead Black Lizard Team Two in the main attack. Team Three will stay at headquarters to assist with defense."
"As for the expenses, ask Officer A, the Colonel Officer, for help. Let him stay outside and keep the pressure on."
The players at the morning meeting couldn't help but yawn. "Let's leave it like this for now. As for the details, I'll leave it to Sen's staff."
Isn't this all very clear? Is there anything else to elaborate on?
The leader assigned the task of submitting the battle plan document at noon. However, seeing that everything was arranged clearly, Mori Ogai was only ready to fight at night: ...So, is it necessary to write this document?
The answer is of course yes.
Even the mafia requires important documents to be made in triplicate.
"That's it for now. I still have some documents to review. Let's adjourn the meeting!" The player waved his sleeves, leaving no trace of his clothes.
"Farewell, Chief."
After the leader left, Guangjin Liulang tactfully took his deputy captain to leave first, leaving the four of them looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Well then - Lord Ogai, Lord Sakunosuke, I still have to make arrangements for my subordinates, so I will take my leave first." After a long time, Ozaki Kouyo broke the silence.
"Goodbye, Lord Hongye." Mori Ogai still had a smile on his face that was hard to tell its depth.
"Goodbye, Lord Momiji." Oda Sakunosuke also said.
"Well, let's go too. Mr. Mori, please hurry up and write the plan. The leader lady needs it urgently." Dazai Osamu grabbed his friend's arm to prevent his naive friend from being led into the maze by the old fox.
"Haha, forget me for now, Dazai-kun. Can you really lead this battle?" Mori Ogai ignored his little antics. Alice, who had been quiet beside him, inadvertently took a step forward and stood in front of him. "It seems the leader wants to do more than just teach GSS a lesson."
"That's nothing for Mr. Lawson to worry about," Dazai Osamu said with a fake smile. "I know what's going on."
The two looked at each other, and finally, Mori Ogai took half a step to the side and made way.
