Chapter 8 The First Player
Even though he was upset, he still remembered to control his strength and voice so that others wouldn't notice that something was wrong... In this respect, Passetto is indeed a qualified member of the organization.
"I don't know. After all, I have been in Europe for the past three years and just came back last month. How have you been doing in the past three years? What does it have to do with me?"
Xi Hai Qing Dou waited for Pasetto to finish speaking before he spoke slowly, looking at Pasetto with a puzzled look on his face, "You should ask the boss about this question. This is not my business."
Passetto's heart sank: if he had the courage to ask that adult, he wouldn't be crying here.
He immediately put away his angry expression, picked up a glass of Amarone and drank it all, his tone became extremely cold: "Tell me, what do you want to see me about this time?"
"Bourbon, Passeto is asking you." Saikai Haruto threw the words to Furuya Rei.
"Of course, we are collecting intelligence." Furiya Ling said with a smile, "Passato, you have been in Yokohama for so long, I believe you are familiar with the situation here, right? The organization sent us to Yokohama this time, and one of the tasks is to reach a cooperation with the Hong Kong triads..."
Listening to the confrontation between Bourbon and Passetto, Xi Haiqingdou sighed: [It was a good decision to bring Furuya Rei here, system, look how hard he works. ]
Why take a vacation? Work overtime with him!
The system is very worried about him: [But he will not let the organization's operation succeed this time. ]
As an undercover public security agent, Fūya Rei will definitely try his best to prevent the cooperation between this organization and the Hong Kong underworld and sabotage this mission.
Xi Haiqing Dou was quite calm: [It's okay. It doesn't matter whether the organization's mission is successful or not. As long as we can successfully trick them all to the Wenye studio, it will be fine.]
The system corrected him: [Host, this is a reasonable use of the resources around you to guide, it is not called cheating. But thank you anyway, host, you helped a lot. ]
This world originally did not have any world related to "Bungo Stray Dogs", but seven years ago, a Bungo Stray Dogs if world that was only just born and was about to "die" "met" this world.
This world needs to grow, and the other if world needs to survive. The two worlds' consciousnesses immediately agree, and they quickly decide to merge the two worlds.
As long as the important characters from the two worlds hang out on each other's sets a few times like this, the fusion of the two worlds can be accelerated. Of course, it would be even better if they could meet each other.
[Really?] Xi Haiqingdou immediately hit the nail on the head, [You're welcome, as long as you can save more energy so that it won't be so difficult for me to extract the vest... At least fix your forum that is broken from time to time.]
The system feels aggrieved: [I have been working hard to upgrade... Don't worry, host. If this wild if world merges smoothly with this world, it should be repaired soon.]
[I hope so... I think you should send the system back to the factory for repair. It's been almost two months and it's still not fixed.]
The West Sea is clear and sighing.
As mentioned before, this world can be observed in the form of comics through the three-dimensional "forum", and if Saikai Haruto wants to be successfully resurrected, he also needs to use the forum and achieve the top three achievements in the forum's "Comic Popularity Character Ranking" three times.
However, after sending away a player, the system encountered some problems and the "forum" could not be opened temporarily. The system kept saying that it was still under maintenance, but Xi Haiqing Dou waited until now and it still hadn't been repaired.
The system couldn't answer this question properly, so it could only awkwardly change the subject: [Host, why did you bring the "player" to the Wenye studio? ]
[System, do you know? Players are the most free.] Saikai Haruto said in a deep voice.
He smiled and said, "System, instead of making so many plans, you might as well pray for the player's protagonist halo to be stronger."
This is the blood and tears experience he has accumulated over the years. "Players" are so special, they are like special viruses in computers, always bringing all kinds of unexpected and "surprising" things to this world - so this time, Xi Haiqingdou began to take the initiative to use this "specialness".
When the conversation between Saikai Haruto and the system ended, the conversation between Furuya Rei and Passetto also came to an end - after all, it was in a bar, and as time went on, more people came and went, and it was no longer appropriate to continue the conversation here.
After Passetto left, Furuya Rei looked at Saikai Haruto and frowned, "Kunto, what do you mean?" He said with a half-smile, "I remember that you are in charge of this mission, right?"
"I am in charge, but I think you are quite capable, Bourbon. I have no problem handing over the intelligence exchange to you. I am very relieved. Didn't you do a good job just now?"
Xi Haiqing Dou looked lazy and didn't seem to take the matter seriously.
As Vodka was about to drive, he looked at Bourbon and then at Cointreau, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he said nothing.
Although the eldest brother's mission was to find out whether Chapasetto had any tendency to betray, Cointreau never told Bourbon about this...but maybe Cointreau had other ideas?
One thing Vodka learned from Gin is that when he doesn't understand why something is done, he just needs to shut up and do it. Big Brother/Cointreau has his reasons for doing things.
Furiya Rei frowned again: "Is there something wrong with Pasetto?"
"He doesn't react right when he talks to you."
The smile on Xi Haiqing Dou's lips deepened. As expected of Furuya Rei, he could tell that something was wrong with Pasetto at the first sight.
"And the location chosen for this meeting is not right." A bar is definitely not a good place to meet. Recalling what Passetto had just said, Furuya Rei said slowly, "He doesn't want the organization to get too involved with Yokohama. Why? There is a deep sense of fatigue and fear hidden in him."
"I don't know either... This is the answer you are looking for." Xi Haiqing Dou spread his hands with an innocent expression and gave a very shameless answer.
"But he probably hasn't betrayed the organization yet."
"About? Now?"
"Well, about 60 to 80 percent chance? After all, people's minds are hard to predict."
Another ambiguous answer... Furiya Rei lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes. Perhaps Pasetto would be an additional breakthrough? How much did Cointreau know?
"It doesn't matter if we don't find anything. This mission has little to do with Pasetto anyway." Saikai Haruto said nonchalantly, "Even if he has some ideas in his mind, as long as the information he gives you is not false, it's fine."
"Even if the information he gave me was false and led to a miscalculation of the situation in Yokohama, no one would know about it except him." Furuya Rei sneered.
Xi Haiqingdou said lazily: "That depends on the boss. We only need to be responsible for collecting information, and others will naturally do the rest. If there are any problems, we will find Pasetto."
He raised the corner of his mouth and blinked: "After all, I am just a weak member of the literary class, right?"
"...You're right. After all, I'm just an intelligence officer who's unfamiliar with the place. Everything still depends on Pasetto." Furiya Rei understood and also slowly smiled.
Yokohama is a port city, and many places are close to the sea, including the hotel they are currently staying in. The time to return is exactly 5:30 in the afternoon. The dim sunlight shines on the sea, sparkling, with a unique color beauty of Yokohama.
However, Furuya Rei had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He quickly finished his dinner and returned to his room to integrate the relevant information of this mission.
The first is the leader of this mission, Cointreau.
Cointreau is a member of a very mysterious organization. There is quite a bit of information about him within the organization, but it is difficult to tell what is true from what is false.
When he first joined the organization two years ago, Cointreau had already gone on a business trip to Europe. He only came back last month, but in just this month or so, they have already changed their equipment several times. Even Rum has a good impression of him. Even this transaction with the Hong Kong gang was facilitated by him.
Although he had only been in contact with Cointreau for less than two days, Rei Furuya already had a preliminary impression of Cointreau.
Although he looks unwell, he is good at disguising himself, does things as he pleases, is unsure of what is true and what is false, does not care about other people's lives, and is very scheming...
He is a typical unpredictable and dangerous guy, and in some ways he may be more difficult to deal with than the organization's cadre Gin.
The focus of this mission is on the arms trade with the Hong Kong underworld, but hidden in the dark is the organization's ambition to deal with the dark side of Yokohama. As a public security policeman, Furuya Rei cannot turn a blind eye to this matter.
I just don’t know whether I should tell Kazuma about this... Furuya Rei hesitated for a rare moment.
Although the three of them were all undercover police officers and good friends at the same time, Furuya Rei knew Asahina Kazuma's personality very well. His friend was a person who could not keep things to himself. Many things would be shown on his face directly, which was completely different from him and Jingguang. Thinking of this, he had a headache again.
He was worried that if he told him about it, Cointreau might find out something. Doing this was like walking on a tightrope. Although Furuya Ling was not afraid of death, he did not dare to let his companions take such risks.
The doorbell suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts. He tore off the paper with the notes and flushed it down the drain, then opened the door and couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
***
The next day was a sunny day, and it was also the day the organization agreed to conduct a transaction with the port mafia.
Saikai Haruto brought vodka, Scotch and bourbon to the Five-Gang Building, one of the famous "attractions" in Yokohama - it looked quite novel from the outside, as the five buildings were at least three or four hundred meters high, and the decoration inside was quite deep and depressing, which was in line with the positioning of Hong Kong Black.
The person in charge of the reception was an officer named Yamashita. It was said that the leader of the Hong Kong underworld was busy with official duties and could not get away for the time being.
Although this excuse sounded fake, Saikai Haruto just smiled good-naturedly and passed it by, and went to the warehouse area near the port with Yamashita.
Miki and Canada have been guarding here since yesterday. The amount of equipment in the warehouse is only a small sample of this transaction. After the Hong Kong Black side confirms that it is correct, the organization will send people to deliver all the remaining equipment to complete the transaction. The transaction location naturally cannot be on the Hong Kong Black's territory. Even if it is in the organization, they are afraid of being robbed in Yokohama where they have no foundation.
The handover of the samples and equipment went smoothly without any incidents. The next step was to wait for news from the Hong Kong underworld.
As a result, during this waiting time... Asahina Kazuma really did something that surprised Saikai Haruto.
