Chapter 80 The First Player

Ah...how did things turn out like this?

Asahina Kazuma was half leaning on the rooftop with a cell phone in one hand and a gun in the other. He had obviously been chased all the way to the rooftop, but the strange thing was that he looked completely relaxed at the moment, without any sign of nervousness. His eyes were wandering, as if he was in a daze.

Actually, it doesn’t matter if you just daydream.

After all, there is no difference between thinking and daydreaming.

Asahina was thinking about something very important and extraordinary—why on earth was he running away?

His identity is clearly a "double undercover agent". On the surface, he is a code name member of the organization, and secretly he is an undercover police officer sent into the organization by the Metropolitan Police Department. But in fact, he is still a member of the organization - he was sent to the police academy by Rum a few years ago to infiltrate the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department.

Although he was accidentally discovered by Cointreau that he was an undercover agent of the Metropolitan Police Department and is now being hunted by Cointreau, Cointreau just doesn't know that he has another identity. If he is told that he is not only an "undercover", but also a "double undercover" and a member of the organization... wouldn't the problem be solved perfectly?

Even if Cointreau didn't believe him, although this matter was hidden, Rum and the boss of the organization knew about it - after all, Rum was the superior who sent him to the police academy as an undercover agent, and it was impossible for Rum not to report this matter to the boss. As long as Rum or the boss "testified" for him, there would be evidence, and Cointreau would believe it.

So why on earth was he running?

It seemed that because this incident happened too suddenly, he was a little confused for a moment - meaning that not only did he expose his identity as an undercover agent of the Metropolitan Police Department, but he had not discovered it himself and only found out about it after being reminded by Furuya Rei. Furuya Rei is smart and has a high IQ, and he also has the aura buff bonus from the original work. As long as Furuya Rei is around, he will always listen to Furuya Rei and do everything he does. It has become a habit now. Therefore, after his identity was exposed this time, Furuya Rei told him to run, and he ran directly - without even thinking about whether he needed to run away.

And there was another important reason - Cointreau chased him too fiercely and it was too scary. Asahina now recalled the scene half an hour ago when he saw Cointreau driving Gin's car on the opposite side of the road, waving at him with a smile on his face and saying to him "Run away quickly", and he still couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

At that moment, his heart was beating fast, his adrenaline was surging, and he suddenly had a sense of urgent crisis: "If I don't run away, Cointreau will definitely kill me." He couldn't think of "how to explain to Cointreau" at all, and the only thought left was "run away as far as possible."

It was not until now, when he inexplicably came to the rooftop, that he had a little free time and was able to clear his mind of the mess. He remembered that there was no need for him to run away.

——He is not a real undercover agent of the National Police Department, so there is no need for him to run away like a real undercover agent.

Asahina suddenly relaxed.

He shouldn't have listened to Rei Furuya and contacted the Metropolitan Police Department... He should have looked for Rum.

On his phone, Furuya Rei continued to send him text messages at a frequency of once every ten minutes, asking him to contact the Metropolitan Police Department, keep in touch with him, and plan and analyze various routes for him...

The most recent message was just now - Furuya Rei said that Cointreau had found him, asked him where he was now, and asked him to quickly move to another place to avoid Cointreau.

Has Cointreau arrived yet? This guy really chased him closely...he found it so quickly.

Without any doubt about the authenticity of the message from Furuya Rei, Asahina shook her head and sent the location to Furuya Rei. She also reported to him that she was safe and asked him not to worry and not to chase after her.

At the moment when the message was successfully sent, Asahina felt a rare feeling of guilt towards Furuya Rei because of deceiving him, as well as a complex feeling of shame and embarrassment.

Even though Furuya Rei has always been very nice to him and is still worried about him, Asahina will never tell him the truth - that his real identity is an undercover agent of the organization, so he will be fine, and that not only will he not avoid Cointreau, but he will also be waiting here for him to come.

...When I think about it this way, my conscience seems to hurt a little.

Shaking her head, Asahina looked through all the messages from Furuya Rei on her phone, including the messages he had contacted with the Metropolitan Police Department, and then found Rum's contact information and called him again.

The boss can't be contacted normally, so he can only contact Rum. But he doesn't know why, he just called Rum twice and sent him several messages but still couldn't get through... He doesn't know what he's doing?

The sound of footsteps approached slowly, and the door to the rooftop was pushed open. A young man with white hair, golden eyes, a pale and handsome face, wearing a loose black coat, approached him step by step, with a gentle and faint smile on his face, and the black Beretta in his hand was pointed directly at him.

"Canadian whiskey... or would you prefer to be called 'Asahina Kazuma'? I never thought that the undercover agent of the Metropolitan Police Department would look like you."

Xi Haiqing Dou looked curious, "Are you... choosing to give up the fight? Do you have any last words? There is still time. I can give you a chance to leave a complete last word."

"That...Cointreau, I can explain."

Asahina felt a little nervous for some reason. He swallowed twice, raised his phone with one hand, slowly half-knelt down and put down the pistol in his right hand, then stood up with both hands raised and looked at Saikai Haruto sincerely: "I think we can solve it in a more peaceful way... Don't be so direct and violent, what do you think?"

"Okay." Xi Haiqingdou responded happily, watching his movements with interest, but the gun in his hand was always aimed steadily at his heart, without any deviation: "What do you want to say?"

"You agree?" Asahina looked at him in surprise and turned on the phone without thinking too much - the page that lit up showed a call from him to Rum.

He licked his lips and said, "Although you may not believe it... I am indeed not an undercover agent of the Metropolitan Police Department. To be honest, I am actually an undercover agent sent into the Metropolitan Police Department by the organization. Rum also knows this, but his phone is not accessible for the time being. If you don't believe me, you can call Rum yourself."

Xi Hai Qing Dou blinked and was silent for two seconds, as if he was digesting this bizarre fact with twists and turns.

After a long while, he spoke slowly, with a cold look in his golden eyes: "You mean, you were sent by Rum to the Metropolitan Police Department as an undercover agent, and then the Metropolitan Police Department arranged for you to go undercover in an organization?"

"Yes, that's what I mean!" Seeing that Nishimi Haruto understood his meaning smoothly, Asahina's eyes lit up and nodded vigorously, without even noticing that the gun in Nishimi Haruto's hand had not been put down or loosened at all.

The smile on Xi Haiqing Dou's face faded: "Do you have any evidence?"

He looked back and forth between Asahina and the phone in his hand, and quietly asked, "You just said that you called Rum, but the call never went through, right? Do you have any evidence to prove this, to prove your identity?"

"No... But this is easy to prove, right? As long as Rum returns the call, it will prove that what I said is true, right?"

Asahina swallowed nervously, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said quickly, "And I can also tell you some news from the Metropolitan Police Department..."

"How can I verify whether the information from the Metropolitan Police Department is true or false? And what if you run away now?"

Xi Haiqingdou interrupted him, his expression unchanged: "Besides, you are an undercover agent of the Metropolitan Police Department. Isn't it normal for you to know the news of the Metropolitan Police Department? Canada, I need some other information that only you, a 'double undercover', can know. Anything else? For example, who were the two policemen next to you in the department store before, and what was their relationship with you?"

Asahina's expression became visibly troubled.

Xi Haiqing Dou took another step forward with the gun in hand.

...Never mind, the most important thing now is to stay alive, everything else should be put aside and we’ll talk about it later!

"They and I were classmates at the same police academy," Asahina said quickly, "but I haven't seen them since I returned to the organization. Today was the first time I saw them. And what happened today was actually just an accident. It had nothing to do with them. They didn't even know the existence of the organization."

Without giving Xi Haiqing Dou a chance to say anything, he quickly dropped another bombshell: "I am not the only undercover agent sent to the organization by the Metropolitan Police Department. You also know the other one - it's Scotland! And there's Ley, he's an undercover agent from the FBI."

"I haven't had time to tell Rum about this news yet, which means that now only I know about it, and no one else knows about it either."

Asahina exhaled, her voice slowed down, her eyes couldn't be more sincere: "What do you think, Jundu, is this news enough to prove that I am not from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Matsuda and Hagiwara might have been implicated by him... I hope this news will make Cointreau forget about them both.

But Jundu only heard the voices of two of them at most, so he shouldn't be able to find the person, right?

Asahina thought about it anxiously and decided that there was no way he would tell anyone about Furuya Rei's identity... Not to mention that Furuya Rei had never been exposed in the original work, Furuya Rei had always been so good to him, and he was not willing to stab him in the back like this.

But Morofushi Kagemitsu...his original work was exposed anyway, it was only a matter of time, so it didn't matter if he said it a little earlier.

And there's Shuichi Akai. He won't feel any psychological burden no matter how much more information the FBI's gang gets. In the original novel, he didn't die even if he was exposed, and he certainly won't die now.

Thinking of this, Asahina relaxed a little.

"Well, now, Cointreau, can you believe what I say?"

He stood a little to the side, relaxed, and looked at Xi Haiqingdou with helplessness in his eyes - he had said so much, Jundu couldn't still doubt him, right? What kind of undercover agent would be as defenseless as him, not struggle at all, and even say whatever he wants and answer every question!

"Yes, I believe it."

Xi Hai Qing Dou smiled and gave him a genuine smile, and then the moment he relaxed, he pulled the trigger without hesitation in his incredulous eyes.

"Bang!"

"Ahem... Cointreau?"

The gunshot rang out, and the bullet pierced through the air, spinning rapidly and piercing Asahina's heart.

Before she could even feel the pain, Asahina fell to her knees, covering the wound on her chest, with extreme shock and confusion still in her eyes.

He didn't understand...why did they still kill him even though he said he "believed" it? !

Why on earth is this happening?! Is there a bug in this crappy game??!

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm so sorry, I'm also undercover."

Xi Hai Qing Dou tilted his head, a smile on his lips, and his golden eyes were full of indifference: "So, you should go to another world and be your Canada."
