Chapter 5: After the BE Ending

Just as Toru Amuro was feeling a little regretful that Kamiya had the chance to become an excellent police officer, the latter was walking calmly towards the shooting range in the base to see Gin who was practicing shooting.

He had no idea that his background information had been made transparent to Toru Amuro.

However, even if Shen Youkui knew about it, he would not think it was a big deal. After all, the information was just a string of data to him. It was just an identity template made by the game to facilitate the player's identity embedding.

Compared to these, Kamiya Aoi is more concerned about how to deal with Gin's suspicion next and how to best use the photo in her hand that will expose Amuro Toru's identity.

It is definitely not an option to return it directly to Amuro Toru... Such a rash act will most likely only result in an Amuro Toru in Bourbon state who is unpredictable and more difficult to deal with, rather than an Amuro Toru in Furutani Rei state who is eager to save the misguided boy from the sea of ​​suffering out of compassion.

But I have been holding it in my hand all this time. With Kamiya Aoi's current status, it seems difficult to find a place to take a photo with it?

Tsk, this is really difficult.

With an unanswered thought in mind, Kamiya Aoi walked into the shooting range, her ears almost deafened by the sound of gunfire as Gin repeatedly pulled the trigger to shoot the human-shaped target in the head.

Shen Youkui: "..."

He read Gin's hidden anger and protest signal from the deafening gunfire, and the danger of getting a big rollback if he gave a wrong answer.

Gin is difficult to deal with, and Aoi has long understood that she can handle the protest. But - why is she angry?

The tall silver-haired man emptied a magazine and replaced it with a new one. He glared coldly at the silent Shen Youkui and asked as expected:

"You, why is this mission called Bourbon?"

Huh? Kamiya Aoi's thoughts were immediately aborted by Gin's strange question, "What do you mean?"

Since when did Gin care more about details like who goes on a mission with whom rather than the success or failure of the mission?

"You two have never had any friendship. In the past, even when assigned the same mission, you acted independently. But this time, you specifically informed Bourbon... Is there something wrong with Bourbon, or is there something wrong with your mission this time?"

Gin said this, the cold tone in his voice seemed to silently tell him that he already had solid evidence. At the same time, his cold eyes were directed directly at Kamiya Aoi.

The irrefutable sense of oppression immediately descended upon the latter like a physical entity.

What does it mean to be ruthless? Shen Youkui thought, this is a ruthless person! Even though the question he asked was so inexplicable, Gin's sharp and ruthless nature did not change at all.

How suspicious must one be to associate Kamiya Aoi's casual actions with the idea that there is something wrong with Amuro Toru or the mission?

What’s even more terrifying is that Gin’s association is actually correct.

"...Why don't you think about the fact that I'm the one who has the problem?" Kamiya Aoi pursed her lips and changed the subject to the undercover agent Amuro Toru, saying, "Previous missions didn't require me to take action against anyone."

He raised his eyes and looked back at Gin's cold gaze, "I don't have the ability to kill people. Don't you know this best?"

To be specific, the path that Kamiya Aoi initially opened was clearly that of a good person with a good family background. It was only after she accidentally met Gin that the plot began to unleash its full potential.

If it weren't for Kami Yuuki's excellent habit of saving the game, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get the HE ending of the orthodox clearance, and could only start over again in tears amidst the irreversible plot development.

As the culprit who messed up his speed, Gin felt no guilt or responsibility for turning a good citizen into a crow and leading him astray.

Although he brought her into the organization, Gin never taught her how to be a qualified killer, and he was reluctant to teach her the ability to protect herself. Even when she took the initiative to seek help from others, Gin would use various methods to stop her.

The last Rye Whiskey who dared to teach Shen Youkui how to sniper has now disappeared without a trace. No one knows where he was sent to do some weird mission.

So, although Shen Youkui has the title of "backbone of a criminal organization", he actually has no corresponding force. His ability can only be exerted on a network computer.

In the past, so-called "missions" were mostly about hacking into a company's internal system to retrieve data, or erasing video data that was accidentally captured by field personnel on camera.

These are things that Shen Youkui can easily solve with just the movement of his fingers, and of course he doesn't need the help of his partner.

But this time, in addition to destroying the electronic data, he also had to be responsible for silencing the mouth. Please, Shen Youkui's understanding of guns is limited to talking about war on paper. If he really gave him a gun, he didn't even mention the problem that the recoil could dislocate his wrist.

Just aiming at the target - he can't even aim!

Therefore, if Shen Youkui wants to complete the mission smoothly, calling on his partner Bourbon is the most normal choice. Not calling on him would mean he has ulterior motives.

Gin knew that Bourbon had low combat power, but he still transferred Bourbon away before his mission. So it seems that the problem is neither Bourbon nor Kamiyakui, but Mr. Gin.

With just a few words, Kamiya Aoi threw the blame off herself and Amuro Toru. The more she thought about it, the more confident she felt that there was nothing wrong with her.

The next second, Gin stuffed a gun with the smell of gunpowder still lingering from the muzzle into the hands of the arrogant Shen Youkui.

Shen Youkui: “?”

Gin curled his lips sarcastically, "It seems that you are very dissatisfied with your inability to kill people."

Not really. Before Shen Youkui could organize her words, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by the man in front of her, and she was dragged in one direction without any refusal.

There was a door in the corner of the shooting range, and behind it was a dark staircase leading to the basement.

Shen Youkui knew the structure of the base, but had never visited the place marked as a skull on the floor plan.

But even if you have never been there, the skull specially placed under the shooting range and marked there is something that anyone can guess that this basement is probably where some cruel things are done.

Now, suddenly being dragged over by Gin with a cold face like a dead dog, Shen You Aoi immediately felt that something was wrong. While checking his save file, he followed Gin and stumbled downstairs in the dark.

When the bright scene reappeared in her vision, Shen Youkui saw the person she had been talking about just now in the basement illuminated by the cold white incandescent light.

Rye whiskey, all stars. The heroic colleague who dared to stare at the god Yu Aoi with Gin's death gaze while sniping.

At this time, he was holding an assembled sniper rifle in his hand, and on the small table next to him were some items that seemed to be for gun maintenance placed in an orderly manner.

The man with black hair and green eyes was not surprised to see Gin and Kamiya Aoi coming in. He just raised his chin slightly and signaled Gin: "The person is over there."

Only then did Shen Youkui see that not far from the rye whiskey where Sui Yue was sitting quietly wiping the barrel of a gun, there was a man in black lying with his eyes closed and a weak breath.

He looks familiar, and seems to be a member of the organization.

Shen Youkui looked at the man lying on the ground and came to the conclusion in his heart: he was most likely a person defined as a "traitor" or an "undercover".

I've never seen rye whiskey before, so I guess they went to catch someone.

Gin had obviously been aware of the existence of this member of the organization from the beginning, but it was not until Rye Whiskey spoke that he responded in a neutral tone.

Then he let go of the hand that was holding Shen Youkui, walked straight over to check whether the man on the ground was alive or dead, and confirmed that his identity was correct and he was not a fake who had disguised himself.

Rye Whiskey took this opportunity to look vaguely at Shen Youkui who was rubbing his wrist with a dazed look on his face, wondering why he, a technician, appeared here with a gun in his hand.

Does Gin want to...?

His eyes alternately scanned the gun in Shen Youkui's hand and the man lying on the ground, and Rye Whiskey couldn't help but think of a possibility that made him frown slightly.

Completely failing to notice the complicated looks from his colleagues, Shen Youkui rubbed the fingerprints on his wrists, wondering if his physical condition could be any worse.

From this point of view, even if he is lucky enough to clear his name in the future, he will definitely not be able to escape Gin's pursuit with his useless physical condition.

But then Shen Youkui thought again, as long as his speculation is correct, the day he successfully whitewashes himself will be the day he achieves his goal of getting his subordinates.

Anyway, there is no way Gin will jump out of the game to hunt him down, so let him be a waste.

On the other hand, after confirming the identity of the traitor, Gin was not relieved that he had not been seen during this period of time. It was obvious that he was very busy in catching Rye Whiskey.

He even interrupted Rye Whiskey's gun-maintenance behavior and asked him to stay away.

Then, Kamiya Aoi, who was full of doubts and had a bad feeling, was dragged by Gin to the empty seat vacated by Rye Whiskey.

Gin walked behind Kamiya Aoi, raised his gun-holding arm and pointed it at the man on the ground, and there was a hint of a subtle smile in his cold voice:

"Shoot."

Shen Youkui was shocked on the spot.

As expected of a multinational criminal organization, they actually use living people to practice shooting!

In shock, Kamiya Aoi didn't think there was anything wrong with Gin's behavior... after all, that was his personality.

After being shocked, Shen Youkui was thinking: What if the bullet hits the floor and bounces off after I pull the trigger? If I miss the target at such a close distance, there is a high probability that the bullet will hurt me.

...If this were to happen, he might as well just go back to the past.

However, Kamiya Aoi's hesitation made Gin think that he was afraid, and he snorted coldly and was about to hold his hand forcefully and pull the trigger.

Shen Youkui immediately started to struggle. He didn't mind shooting people, it was just a bunch of data. But if Gin did this, who would be responsible if he hit the target? And who would be responsible if he missed?

In the eyes of Rye Whiskey, the entanglement between the two people can be succinctly summarized in four words - forcing a good woman into prostitution.

Shen Youkui is the only member of the organization that Rye Whiskey knows who has never killed anyone.

And what Gin is doing now is obviously to erase the existence of this "only" one.

Rye Whiskey was silent for a moment, then he took a step forward, lowered his gun, and said sternly:

"It's my business to deal with him, Gin, do you want to sabotage my mission?"

Completed and revised

I thought I hadn't written anything nonsense, but when I woke up, I saw that the whole article was nonsense. I wrote it in the middle of the night like an outline flowing. An old man on the subway got his phone OTZ.
