Chapter 89 [Goal Achieved]
"Bang--"
The sound of fireworks exploding cut through the silent river surface. In the abandoned warehouse next to the river, there was another tense atmosphere that almost froze the air.
"Why are you here, Mizunashi Rena?"
The organization's top killer's voice was deep and murderous, contrasting with his steady pace as he walked into the abandoned house.
Mizunashi Rena was in a state of disarray and confusion. She fell to the ground and struggled to hold up her upper body.
Her lips were as red as blood... no, there was really blood flowing from the corners of her lips.
Although his eyes were blurry, he had no intention of letting go of the Colt M1911A1 in his hand.
She squinted her eyes, trying to determine the direction of the person coming from. It wasn't until the person's body blocked the light source, casting a shadow that covered the area within her sight, that she felt like she had finally found her target.
Her arms were no longer able to support her body, and she fell to the ground, but her hand holding the gun was raised towards the person who came, and she was about to point the gun at him.
"snort."
Gin kicked the gun away, and the gun, which had already been released in safety, went off accidentally, firing a shot towards an empty corner.
Less than a meter away from Rena Mizunashi was lying a warm corpse, which was exactly like the scene in the original work.
"Brother, this person is also an outside member." Vodka confirmed the identity of the deceased and reported to Gin.
Gin was already checking the recording equipment that had fallen to the ground.
Aside from the initial conversation about the truth serum, the memory card only contained inquiries; there was no recording of Rena Mizunashi's responses. The final section was also interspersed with the sudden sounds of fighting and gunfire.
Then there was a silent blank, until Gin's voice questioning Mizunashi Rena was heard.
This is enough to prove that Rena Mizunashi did not reveal any secrets of the organization.
Gin snorted again, but a slightly satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Even after being drugged, you still managed to keep your mouth shut and even killed the mouse? Haha."
He hated rats and fools, but the organization valued secrecy above all else. Even when given truth serum, they wouldn't reveal anything about the organization, so even a loyal person making a minor mistake wouldn't be unacceptable.
Besides, she has already corrected the small mistakes she made.
"Vodka, take the people with you and notify the outside members to deal with the bodies and traces. Let's go."
"Understood, big brother."
Rena Mizunashi was carried on his shoulders like a sandbag. Vodka threw her in the back seat of the car and immediately left with Gin.
A few minutes later, Bonnie rushed into the abandoned warehouse, only to see several familiar peripheral members zipping up the body bags.
His forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, his breathing became rapid, and his steps seemed a little staggering.
"Were you also called in to clean up the bodies?"
"Why are you here now? We are almost done."
There is no regular pattern in how an organization arranges work for its peripheral members, but when there is a time constraint, work is usually assigned based on their location.
Peripheral members who are close are more likely to bump into each other.
He took a few breaths, swallowed hard, and stammered, "It's too hot, I feel a little uncomfortable. I just went out to eat, which is a bit far from here. I received the mission and rushed over, but I still ended up being late... Sorry, sorry, I'll treat you guys to dinner next time."
Bonnie was sweating, pale, and breathing rapidly, and really looked like he had heatstroke.
"Forget it. It's not easy to make money. You should buy snacks for your children." The man smiled and waved his hand, wiped off the last trace, and left the scene.
The others also said goodbye to Bonnie. Those who were close to him reminded him to take a rest or go to the hospital, but they did not stay for long and left in just over ten seconds.
Only Bonnie himself knew that he and Ethan Bentang had agreed to meet here.
The time and place matched, but he hadn't seen the person he'd agreed to meet along the way. So the person in the black body bag was probably Ethan Bentang.
He didn't even dare to call to confirm, and could only leave the place in despair.
He had to think carefully about how to continue his mission or escape from here before the organization found more clues.
The CIA sent him and Ethan Hondou to infiltrate the organization, which took a lot of time and energy.
Putting aside Ethan Hondou, the CIA had spent thirty years planting a pawn in Japan, his identity flawless. Not only Ethan Hondou himself, but also his daughter was lurking within the organization.
He frowned and walked away thoughtfully.
Perhaps because I was completely immersed in my thoughts, I overlooked things that I should have noticed.
It's not surprising that he disappeared without a trace after someone covered his mouth from behind and dragged him into a dark alley.

My wife Sayuri was urgently taken back to the activity room by Asanoimimi.
They discovered signs that the group had come into contact with Agatsuma Sayuri and were very worried that her true form might be harmed.
They knew how much they relied on Sayuri's abilities. Asami felt very regretful and said to Sayuri, "I shouldn't have let you run around alone. I should have arranged for someone to protect you..."
Rather than blaming my wife Sayuri for running around alone, he would rather regret not staying with my wife Sayuri, leaving her in danger.
My wife, Sayuri, relaxed her brows and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. The plan was a success, wasn't it?"
She looked at the closed door on the side of the activity room, where two people were lying in deep sleep.
"It will take some time for the effects of the drug to wear off. Considering that they are all trained agents, we have already prepared a system of multiple people taking turns to monitor them after the half-life of the drug expires."
"They should all be very strong in combat," Agatsuma Sayuri warned, "Don't let your guard down just because they easily succeeded with a sneak attack."
"Of course I understand."
In fact, the two CIA members are not the most difficult problem to solve. Because Ethan Bentang and Bonnie must "die", they are doomed to no longer enter the main storyline, and no matter what method is used, they will be prevented from continuing to contact the organization.
On the contrary, the contact with the CIA is not within the scope of the original work, so they can act as they please.
The biggest problem facing the Agatsuma family at this time is how to deal with two members of "that group", including a clone of Agatsuma Sayuri.
If she simply killed the clone, Agatsuma Sayuri would have an extra memory. Now she can withstand the impact of absorbing the memory of one person at a time, and will not simply lose the memory of that period.
But judging by the attitude of another member of “that group” towards the clone of Agatsuma Sayuri, if they really did that, they probably wouldn’t simply keep their distance from each other, but would retaliate against Agatsuma’s family.
They already considered that particular alter ego like "family."
"In that case, what's wrong with acting with us?" Agatsuma Sayuri asked curiously. She still couldn't tell the difference between herself and her clone, nor could she understand how others viewed the difference between her and her clone.
She has memories of clones that have died or been reabsorbed by her in her mind, and sometimes she mistakenly believes that what those clones did is what she did.
Especially for clones that have existed for a long time, their memories have been coherent and logical since their birth. In addition, the goals of the clones and the original body are usually the same, so such misunderstandings can easily arise.
The ability to access the memories of a clone is both a strength and a weakness of Sayuki's supernatural power. When self-awareness weakens, it becomes difficult for humans to distinguish which of their memories is their true self.
After regaining her memory, Agatsuma Sayuri has thought more than once that since everyone has the same goal, why should they disperse their strength because of different methods?
"Because if we do things differently, we'll hinder each other's actions." Hagiwara Kenji seemed to understand the situation very well and explained patiently: "Just like this time, they also want to use Mizunashi Rena's case as an experiment, but they might kill Ethan Hondou and Bonnie themselves."
"This is what we... this is what I can't stand."
When saying this, Kenji Hagiwara seemed to be back in his police uniform, standing up to protect the people.
If the purpose was just to test whether the main storyline could be changed, then Ethan Hondou should have been killed by Rena Mizunashi in a suicidal manner, while Bonnie was killed by Gin.
According to what "that group of people" did, although Ethan Bentang and Bonnie would still die, the murderer is no longer the person in the original work, which means that the main plot of the original work can be changed.
The Agatsuma family, on the other hand, uses a clone of Agatsuma Sayuri, having one of them already undercover within the organization sacrifice their life to replace Ethan Hondou in the original story. Bonnie's presence is weak; as long as he doesn't appear in subsequent actions and meets the requirement that he's "dead" in subsequent mentions, the existence of his "corpse" isn't particularly important.
At this point, Hagiwara Kenji emphasized again: "Sayuri, remember, you must wait a few days before recovering the memory of that clone... Also, when you recover it, be sure to call me."
Unlike the previous two clones who actively shared their memories or "dissipated" on their own, this clone was killed, and the pain before death must remain in his memory.
Receiving such memories will also bring about that painful experience.
"I know, Hagiwara, you've said it many times." My wife Sayuri was getting impatient and muttered softly, "Is Matsuda really not annoyed by your nagging?"
"Little Zhenping won't mind me being long-winded!"
The two of them bickered for a while like children, and then they saw the people on duty forming a team to go to the room where the two CIA undercover agents were imprisoned.
Agatsuma Sayuri stood up and said, half asking for her opinion and half demanding, "While the CIA is still asleep, I want to go meet my clone and that person."
"When you were on your mission, she kindly reminded me to leave. I think we still have a chance to communicate effectively."
Hagiwara Kenji held his forehead and sighed softly: "She just mistook you for that clone. Sayuri-chan, not everyone can distinguish you from your clone, just like not everyone can treat you and your clone as you."
Despite his reluctance and explanation to Agatsuma Sayuri, Kenji Hagiwara was still dragged towards the place where the two men were imprisoned.
Agatsuma Sayuri was also filled with indignation and confusion. After all, even she herself could not regard her clone and her original self as the same person, so how could she force others to do so?
But if her clone is not her, how should she accept the clone's memories and face their sacrifice calmly?
