Chapter 55: The Man Destined to Drown

1

When Toru Amuro was standing outside the door and knocking, Kamiya Aoi, who had just sent Gin away from the lounge, was placing the chess board on the tea table.

When there was a knock on the door, the silver-haired, green-eyed boy held the black and white generals in each hand, ready to place them on both ends of the chessboard.

So what Amuro Toru saw was Kamiya Aoi opening the door and appearing in front of him, with an expressionless face and holding the black general in one hand.

Amuro Toru: “…”

The blonde undercover agent couldn't help but pause slightly in his movements, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the chess piece in Shen Youkui's hand.

...Does this thing have any special meaning?

"Bourbon, what's up?"

The moment their eyes met, the bullet screen in Toru Amuro's field of vision was activated instantly as if a switch had been pressed.

[Does this chess piece mean that Aoi is now certain to win?]

[Wow, this expression of Shenyou Aoi… what kind of shadowy evil face is this? Love it.]

[Friendly reminder, the following plot is full of high energy.]

Shadow villain face?

When seeing the new term, Toru Amuro's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he looked at Kamiya Aoi who was holding the door handle with one hand.

The silver-haired boy was standing behind the door with an expressionless face. The light in the lounge was dimmer than outside. The half-open door refracted the light and shadow, casting a half-inky shadow on Shen Youkui.

That delicate and clean face, lacking vitality and emotion, was like a flat white canvas with black paint directly splashed on it.

The clear and bright forest green eyes were painted with an indescribable deep dark color. It seemed that the color could only appear in a deserted forest, at the bottom of a quiet and silent lake, as if a wild beast was lurking and waiting to be pounced.

It's not an arrogant disdain, a careless indifference, or a nonchalant tone... it's really an "evil face".

Amuro Toru replied with a sigh, "I finally completed the task assigned by Mr. CR. I suddenly realized that I haven't seen Mr. CR for a long time. I just came to see him."

Stopping by for a visit?

Kamiya Aoi was a little surprised. Such a simple and straightforward action was not like Amuro Toru's style.

After a moment's hesitation, Kamiyakui let go of the doorknob and let Amuro Toru in. "Come and take a look... Never mind, let's just take this as your excuse. I'll also talk to you about the bet, come in."

Betting

When talking about this matter, Toru Amuro lost the mood to continue making nice polite remarks or pretending to be light-hearted and teasing.

The undercover agent, who had a slender figure and beautiful muscular lines on his exposed forearms, followed Shen Youkui silently into the room.

This scene seems somewhat familiar.

[Such a familiar scene. When the contract was established, it was also like this. Aoi walked in front and Touzi followed behind. Hahaha. I have a feeling that Aoi is going to cause trouble again.]

[Fuck, chess, is this a must-have tool for big guys to think about? Give me one too!]

Following the words prompted by the bullet screen, Toru Amuro also saw the chess on the tea table, as well as the black and white chess pieces arranged next to the chessboard but not yet placed on the chessboard.

Shen Youkui walked into the room first and sat down at the table, picking up the chess pieces one by one and placing them on the chessboard.

After hesitating for a moment, Toru Amuro still chose to close the door of the lounge - this scene was like the scene when he made the bet with Kamiya Aoi.

"Sit anywhere you like."

As Shen Youkui spoke, she placed the chess pieces a little slowly because she was not very experienced, as if she was taking it easy.

The blond undercover agent Ru Yan sat casually opposite and also picked up a set of chess pieces to help arrange them.

"Before we start, let's confirm the terms of the bet—"

Shen Youkui placed a knight on the chessboard.

"In exchange for not directly exposing your and Morofu-kun's undercover identities, Amuro-kun will unconditionally help me complete one thing. Of course, it won't be something that will embarrass Amuro-kun. At the same time, I will do something that will be detrimental to all the undercover agents."

Toru Amuro lifted up the bishop and gently placed him on the chessboard.

"The content of the bet is that if Amuro-kun can discover my plan and successfully stop me, then I will not do anything to the undercover agents and pretend that I don't know their identities. You can do whatever you want in the organization."

"But——"

With her pale fingertips, she picked up the black chess piece that symbolizes "KING" in chess, and slowly placed it on the only empty space on her side while continuing to speak:

"If Amuro-kun doesn't find out, or if he finds out but fails to stop my plan, then Amuro-kun will not only be unable to interfere with what I do to other undercover agents, but will also have to take the initiative to confess his identity and accept the punishment within the organization. Right?"

The undercover agent, who has striking blond hair and an outstanding and eye-catching appearance, has almost placed the white chess pieces in front of him.

"That's right, but I said it at that time, this bet seemed to be completely favorable to me, so favorable that I couldn't help but suspect that there was a more terrifying trap hidden behind it."

Amuro sighed, "Now that you're talking about a bet, it means you've completed your plan, right? But you still haven't told me what I need to do as agreed."

"Didn't I tell you?" Shen Youkui put her fingers together and looked at me in surprise. "During this time, manage Karas for me and promote and select talents who can support the long-term development of the United Company... That will be considered as completing what I asked."

After saying that, Shen Youkui even smiled slightly.

Of course, this is not the case.

Because Kamiya Aoi had no intention of asking Amuro Toru to really do anything for him, the fundamental purpose of proposing such a condition was just to divert the undercover agent's attention and delay the time to complete the real thing to do.

Toru Amuro was also present when the Karas United Company was established.

What he was thinking about at that time was probably whether the intelligence delivered to him was credible, how much of it could be used, and whether he should immediately use this intelligence to catch all the companies that provided financial support to the Black Organization.

It is better to wait and let these companies confirm Shen Youkui's intentions.

When Toru Amuro thought this, it meant that his attention had been drawn away.

In addition, when Kamiya Aoi later mobilized the undercover agents lurking in the organization, she did not hide it from Amuro Toru.

Therefore, the latter's idea shifted again to "Shen Youkui wants to take advantage of the information gap between these undercover agents who don't know each other's identities to cause confrontation and internal friction among them."

The only thing that Kamiya Aoi really hid about Amuro Toru was that it exacerbated the conflict between the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Sakura-gumi.

If Toru Amuro had not been entangled in the business activities of the Karas United Company, he would have had the opportunity to detect Kamiya Aoi's movements and analyze the latter's true intentions.

Unfortunately, Kamiya Aoi's calmness in her first two actions, combined with the huge amount of energy-consuming work, successfully blocked Amuro Toru's sharp five senses for a period of time.

Next, with Gin's successful assassination and departure, things will only snowball in the direction that Kamiya Aoi expected.

Even if Toru Amuro discovered something else, it would be impossible to stop the success of the plan.

[I have finally discovered that whenever Kamiya Aoi smiles like this, something bad is going to happen...]

[He usually has a facial paralysis, and only smiles when he does something bad. He has a mental disorder.]

[Touzi probably never thought that he would be fighting a Japanese mafia organization just by working overtime like a corporate slave.]

[Little Rose is still Little Rose. When she gets mad, she doesn't care who you are. Just a Yamaguchi-gumi or a Sakura-gumi. Fight them all according to the plan!]

[What time is it now! Japan is in a mess!]

[Toruko: No matter who is running the brewery, I, Amuro Toru, will help him!]

However, just as Kami Yuuki used the information gap to deceive Amuro Toru, the latter also had a magical and uncontrollable information supplement tool for him.

The barrage of messages rolled past in front of him. Amuro Toru looked at them one by one and quickly pieced together the information from the scattered barrage of messages.

From this, he also knew what Shen Youkui had done, the plans she had arranged, and her true purpose.

I have to say, if there were no barrage, the development of things would be almost the same as what Shen Youkui planned.

And the bad thing at the moment is that even Toru Amuro has already known Kamiya Aoi's purpose and methods from the barrage.

Now that the situation has almost become a done deal, it is difficult for him to come up with an effective response for the time being.

"As expected..." After understanding this, Amuro Toru did not get anxious, but said calmly, "Your plan has been completed, and once this plan starts, you can't control it even if you want to stop, right?"

Shen Youkui: "..."

No, he now really suspects that the game officials are giving cheats to the NPCs.

Why did Toru Amuro say this as if he already knew what he had done? How did he know that? Wasn't Toru Amuro just sitting here and helping him place the chess pieces?

"It seems you already know what I'm going to do?"

Shen Youkui cursed the officials a hundred times in her heart, but she still acted calm and composed on the surface, "It's not that I can't control it."

"Anyway, since you already know what I'm going to do, Amuro-kun, just try to stop me according to the bet."

The silver-haired boy leaned back, a faint smile on his face.

"Now that things have come to this, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to continue to drag my feet?"

Toru Amuro took a look at the chess pieces that were arranged neatly, and saw that Kamiya Aoi had no intention of playing chess and was just placing the chess pieces, so he decided to leave and stop the latter's plan from going forward.

However, the moment he stood up, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shen Youkui picking up her mobile phone and tapping the screen a few times with her slender fingers.

With the help of that fleeting moment——

Amuro Toru was about to stand up when he suddenly froze in place.

The screen on the phone... the familiar login interface and backend operation page...

Why did the intelligence system that should have appeared at least a year later, like a "master key", appear in the hands of Shen Youkui???

Walking out of the lounge in a daze, Toru Amuro no longer had any scruples. He immediately took out his mobile phone and contacted his subordinate Yuya Kazami in the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

"Mr. Fūya, what can I do for you?"

"Kazami, has the tech company you were asked to keep an eye on had any information about any projects related to intelligent identification systems recently, no, from last year until recently?"

There was a pause on the other end of the line, and it seemed that Yuya Kazami was looking for information.

"No, Mr. Furuya."

Amuro Toru: “…I understand.”

The blond young man put one hand in front of his forehead to hide his true expression and leaned against the cold wall, as if trying to maintain his unsustainable calmness.

"Where is the bomber? Have you found him?"

This pause was even longer than the last one.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Furuya. We have only found a few clues so far. Although we have names and portraits, the other party's information seems to have been passed around, making it very difficult to investigate. Even if we use informants, we can only get very little useful information."

After special treatment...

The lavender eyes narrowed dangerously, and Amuro Toru understood the message behind these words very well.

According to his previous experience, the criminal who killed Kenji Hagiwara should be just an ordinary criminal who committed crimes with his friends and had no organizational support behind him.

However, now that he asked Kazami to investigate in advance, not only was it difficult to find any trace even though he knew the name and appearance, there were very few effective clues.

It would be ridiculous to say at this point that there is no force behind this.

"so it is……"

The blond undercover agent whispered to himself.

The doubts that have remained unanswered for a long time are suddenly revealed at this moment.

Why did Shen Youkui, who had such superb hacker skills and could access the intelligence of the Public Security Bureau and the Police Department freely, not directly find the bomber to avenge himself, but instead joined the Black Organization...

Because no matter how extraordinary one's talent is, what an individual can do is still too little compared to the black organization, which is familiar with the rules of the other world and has complex members.

He joined the Black Organization because he wanted revenge. But since he is not a real criminal, he wants to destroy the organization while taking revenge.

If the intelligence system that was supposed to appear a year later is now in the hands of Kami Yuuki...

Does that mean that the robbery mission that ultimately became the fuse for the downfall of the Black Organization a year later was actually also designed by Kamiya Aoi?

No... Even so, it cannot explain why Kamiya Aoi would also leak the Metropolitan Police Department's information.

Also, now that we have this system, why can't we find the bomber? We found him last time because of this clue...

Moreover, why did Kamiya Aoi do nothing before, but this time, two years ago, he created the "Karas United Society" in an attempt to wipe out all the undercover agents in the black organization?

My mind was a mess, and this familiar position was confusing and hard to judge... It was as if the last experience was repeating itself.

Damn it, there's no way he'll make the same wrong judgement this time as he did last time!

Toru Amuro stroked the loose hair on his forehead with one hand and combed it back fiercely, as if this action could help him sort out his thoughts better.

In short... we should stop Kamiya Aoi's plan from being implemented first. It's just a matter of time to figure out other things.

Although the life or death of those undercover agents in other countries has little to do with him, it is absolutely unacceptable if Japan becomes chaotic in order to eliminate those gangsters!
