Chapter 53 The Man Destined to Drown

In the early morning hours before the sun rises, the sky is still covered with a layer of cold, misty blue.

The cemetery was seldom visited even on holidays, and it was completely silent. Even before the sweepers yawned and worked slowly, people had already come to visit, stepping on the morning dew.

It might not be quite appropriate to call it a visit, because although the visitor was dressed appropriately, he did not hold any tools for worship in his hands.

She didn't even bring a bouquet of flowers, but instead carried a black handbag commonly used by office workers, and walked towards a tombstone with steady steps and a clear purpose.

It was a grayish-white tombstone. Although the offerings were no longer fresh, they were not rotten or damaged. There were no clumps of cobwebs or large amounts of dust around the tombstone.

From this, we can see that the living relatives and friends of this tombstone still visit him frequently.

"You will definitely go to hell after you die if you disturb the dead's sleep like this."

The man in a suit gazed at the young man's warm smile on the tombstone, and such a thought flashed through his mind briefly.

But soon, the man twitched the corner of his mouth in self-mockery.

——Could it be that while doing such a dangerous and immoral job, he still hoped to be forgiven by God after his death?

He didn't care whether he went to hell or not. At this point, the only thing he was worried about was his daughter, who followed in his footsteps and also stepped into the dangerous road.

Thinking of this, the man standing in front of the tombstone - Ethan Bendon, an undercover agent from the US CIA, code-named "Margo" in the Black Organization, no longer hesitated.

After taking out the small square box from the black handbag, Ethan Bendon took out a folded engineering shovel, unfolded it in a few strokes, and while no one was around, he raised his hand and shoveled the ground next to the tombstone in front of him.

The rustling sound of digging the earth was like the wind blowing through the leaves. In this deserted cemetery, no one witnessed what Ethan did except the face of the deceased frozen silently on the tombstone.

When the first rays of morning light shone on the tombstones in the cemetery, Chancellor Ethan had already dug an astonishingly large square pit next to that special tombstone.

Afterwards, the man carefully placed the black square box into the pit and filled it with soil.

In order to cover up the obvious traces of excavation where something was actually buried, Ethan took extra effort to repeat the action of digging a pit and burying it again at the corresponding positions of several surrounding tombstones.

After doing all this, Ethan carefully erased any traces of his actions that might have left clues, and walked out of the cemetery without any hesitation.

At this time, the temple staff who was in charge of daily maintenance and sweeping of the cemetery just walked into the cemetery with sleepy eyes, holding a broom.

The phone rang and the expressionless man answered it casually.

"Margo, where have you been?" A carefree voice came from the receiver. It was Tequila, the member who had established contact some time ago.

"Mission." Ethan said briefly, "Why? You want to drink again?"

The fundamental purpose of establishing contact with code members is to obtain intelligence. And Tequila happens to be a person who can't control his mouth after drinking.

So even though he himself did not prefer drinking, in order to obtain information, Ethan Ben still patiently responded to his many invitations to drink together.

This time may be no exception.

"No!" Unexpectedly, Tequila didn't need to drink this time, and he also brought him enough information. "I want to say that you should have heard about the recent personnel changes in the organization, right?"

I'm afraid there are few members with code names in the Black Organization who don't know that "CR" has selected members to form the Japanese legal company "Karas".

So, Ethan replied calmly, "I have heard of it."

When Tequila heard this answer, he immediately complained like the king's barber who found the tree:

"I really don't understand CR's selection criteria. Members like you and me are in Japan, right? But they have to transfer people from other places! Recently, they even took over the missions within the organization... Really, is there no other member who can be active in Japan?"

The income of the members of the Black Organization mostly comes from mission rewards, not to mention the completion rate. However, if they cannot even receive new missions, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to losing their source of income.

Tequila is understandably complaining about the situation.

But... the members selected are all from other places... This is the first time that Ethan has heard of such news.

"They actually found people from other places... No wonder I haven't had any new missions for a long time. Maybe Mr. CR was impressed by the abilities of those members."

He said this deliberately.

"What? Those people!"

Although Tequila did not invite Ethan to drink, it was clear that he was the only one who would continue to drink.

As the man complained in dissatisfaction, Ethan could clearly hear the sound of tequila mumbling, mixed with the sound of wine glasses being banged hard on the bar or table.

"Stout...Weislen...I have asked around. Their code names are different from ours. They just completed some trivial tasks in places where there were no manpower, and they were lucky enough to get the code names. In fact, they don't have any real skills at all."

Ethan Hondo: "..."

Although getting the accurate code names of the two members of "Karas" was a good development for him, Tequila always revealed information so easily that Ethan could not help but remain silent.

Then, Ethan listened patiently to Tequila's mumblings for a while, and after confirming that the other party had no more information to tell him, he perfunctorily agreed to have a drink together after returning home and hung up the phone.

"Stout, Westland."

After repeating the two unfamiliar code names in his mind, Ethan Bentang did not hesitate and directly sent the two code names to his superiors in the CIA.

After typing the first line, Doctor Ethan, who was always decisive and resolute, even to the point that his own daughter thought his style was a little cold, hesitated for a rare moment.

Then, he slowly typed the second line:

"CR specially recruited members of the black organization from other countries to form Karas. It seems that they are suspicious of the identities of the personnel in Japan and request the evacuation of the personnel in Japan."

This was the order sent out, but Ethan knew very well that the situation was not yet dangerous enough to require the withdrawal of personnel, and his request would 100% not be considered by his superiors.

However, at the same time, Ethan Bendon, who has been lingering on the edge of danger for a long time, is often only a thought away from life and death, and his intuition keeps giving him warnings.

He is convinced that the purpose of "CR" is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but his intuition cannot be used as evidence to gain the trust of his superiors and make new action plans.

So he had to find another way.

At least, before my identity is completely exposed...

-

"Mr. CR" himself knew nothing about what was happening elsewhere, nor the decision made by an undercover agent whom he had just grabbed as a tool to control Toru Amuro for convenience.

After experiencing the inexplicable filter blessing of the red team, I spent a lot of time knocking the filter. Then I was overwhelmed by the simulated company operation work.

After much difficulty, the planned actions were finally put on the agenda and carried out one by one. Now Shen Youkui is completely immersed in the joy of achieving success in the upcoming wave of BO. How can he have the extra energy to pay attention to a tool man with a very low sense of existence?

Gin's abilities are unquestionable when he's not playing against main plot characters.

Kamiya Aoi didn't have to wait too long, Gin brought him the good news he needed.

"Next one."

With his long silver hair hanging down behind him, Gin walked towards Kamiya Aoi who was sitting on the sofa, took out a photo from his pocket and threw it lightly in front of her.

With just one glance, Shen Youkui immediately recognized that the man in the photo was a highly respected new cadre in the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Even though she was prepared, Kamiya Aoi was still a little surprised and curious about how Gin did it in such a short time: "Will they think it's the Sakura Group?"

While asking curiously, he also sent Gin the next target without any delay - a middle-level cadre of the Sakura Group who happened to be active in Kanto in recent times.

Gin looked at the intelligence in silence for a while, and then said in a calm tone that was used to explaining: "The two organizations have been having friction over the control of the port city. This guy's recent itinerary is near Kansai."

These are more or less hidden background stories in the game, so it's understandable that Kamiya Aoi didn't know about them before.

After listening to Gin's simple explanation, Shenyou Aoi immediately understood how simple and crude the method the man used was - even simpler and cruder than the method he used!

"So, you killed the Yamaguchi-gumi people on the Sakura-gumi's territory, and then killed the Sakura-gumi people on the Yamaguchi-gumi's territory."

Compared to what Kami Yuuki did, this was also a veiled conspiracy. Even the leaders of the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Sakura-gumi knew that things were not that simple and suspected that they were being instigated to sow discord.

But can they capture Gin as evidence and explain that "other organizations are trying to instigate our two organizations with ulterior motives"?

Obviously not - if Gin could be caught so easily by the Japanese Gokudō organization, government agencies of various countries would not have to worry so much about this "scavenger".

Therefore, even though the leaders of both organizations knew that there was a third party stirring up trouble, they could only accept it and confronted each other more fiercely, driven by the interests that had to be won from each other and the long-standing friction and conflict between the two sides.

Gin quickly wrote down the key information of the next target, probably treating this moment as a short break between tasks, and casually took out a cigarette and lit it.

Seeing Gin looking quite relaxed, Shen Youkui suddenly said, "But, when you did this, did you consider that if you were too straightforward, they wouldn't be fooled."

It was clearly he who proposed the task first, but by asking this question, it seemed as if she was implicitly putting the blame for causing the trouble on Gin.

Hearing him say this, Gin paused in his attempt to light a cigarette and glanced at him coldly.

Shen Youkui almost laughed out loud.

He felt that he and Gin were now in typical villain mode. If this were in a comic, the representative of justice would make the final decision when the conspiracy was about to be accomplished.

Well... in this case, the just judge is undoubtedly the undercover agent Toru Amuro and his friend Kagemitsu Morobushi who provided the red team with their success.

Shen Youkui thought again, according to this idea, the double undercover agent Morofu Kagemitsu lurking in the Yamaguchi-gumi should have received the lone hero script, and Mr. Amuro Toru, who was being exploited by him to work diligently on the project, should have gone deep into the enemy camp.

I didn’t know that at the end of the story, a lone hero would overcome all the dangers and put an end to the villain’s conspiracy.

Or can you seize the initiative by going deep into the enemy camp and turn the tide before the villain causes all irreversible consequences?

The more Shen Youkui thought about it, the more interesting it became.

After all, in his previous gaming experience, he had always played the role of the "hero", and this was his first time standing from the perspective of the "demon king".

——But I’m really sorry, when he was the “Demon King”, he would not give the “Hero” a chance to defeat him.

The silver-haired boy lowered his eyes and smiled, as if he was thinking about something that made him very happy. That expression was something Gin had almost never seen before.

Gin's mind changed slightly, and he suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah?" Shen Youkui raised her head and blurted out: "I'm thinking about Amuro Toru..."

The author has something to say:

In other words, do you know what a flag is?
