Chapter 86 The Second Player

Cointreau is even more special to BOSS - and Rum knows this very well.

Whether Cointreau really knew nothing about Canada's true identity or found out about it later but wanted to pretend to be "ignorant", the truth of the matter is no longer important.

Canada's death was a pity for Rum, but that was all. Canada was not the only undercover agent planted by the organization in the Metropolitan Police Department. Moreover, undercover agents were more meaningful in the other party's organization. What kind of "undercover agent" was it who went around in circles and returned to his own organization? Compared with other undercover agents, he was actually a bit of a chicken rib that was "tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away".

Not to mention the reason for his death - he had already heard the news from Gin, Vodka and Bourbon in advance, and heard it again from Cointreau. Even Rum had to say that Canada was really an idiot.

You can stop talking about this now. There is absolutely no need to have any conflict with Cointreau because of him.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the fact that "Canada is a double agent" again, and Rum never thought about "speaking up" for Canada to prove his true identity - revealing this after the person is dead doesn't it mean that Canada is an idiot who died at the hands of its own people, and by the way, he is also an idiot?

Anyway, the matter was just forgotten in the organization - no one knew that the Canadian who died at the hands of Cointreau was not an undercover agent.

No matter how Fūya Rei, Morobushi Kagemitsu, or Akai Shuichi tried to inquire from him, Saikai Haruto insisted on his statement.

So in the end, the only person entangled with Saikai Haruto was Miyano Shiho.

Xi Hai Qing Dou couldn't help but want to sigh again.

If he had known earlier that he would have to entrust Miyano Shiho to Gin, he would not have secretly discredited Gin in front of Miyano Shiho.

Now that I think about it carefully, there is really no more suitable candidate than Gin - the three undercover agents, Furuya Rei, Morobushi Kagemitsu, and Akai Shuichi, are directly passed over, as it is easy to be deceived when getting along with undercover agents; there is no need to mention Vermouth, who is directly passed over, because if he dares to hand Miyano Shiho over to her, she might be able to cause psychological trauma in her.

He was not familiar with most of the other code members in Japan, so it was even harder to find them. Gin was the most suitable choice - and he even brought a bottle of vodka!

Fortunately, although Miyano Shiho was quite scared, after he explained clearly that he would not let her really live with Gin, but just take care of him, and most of the time she would drink more vodka, Miyano Shiho hesitated and nodded in agreement.

If that's the case... that should be enough, right?

The alias "Igarashi Yuuki" can just stay in the safe house of "Cointreau"; Saikai Haruto used the alias "Mochizuki Kaoru" to call the editor and ask for a two-month leave, and after the neighbor who lived next door got off work, he knocked on the door of Randou Jun next door.

"Mochizuki Kaoru" is an active mystery novelist, and the man who lives next door to him, Randou-kun, is a member of the Mafia - yes, that is the Randou-kun who currently works for the Port Mafia, the former French Transcendent who now has amnesia, whose real name is "Paul Verlaine" and later changed his name to "Arthur Rimbaud".

Because he took advantage of the situation, no, he helped Lan Tangjun with some small favors during his amnesia. Even though the two of them didn't spend much time together, "Mochizuki Xun" had a good relationship with the mafia member who lived next door.

Therefore, after he asked to help look after the house for two months to prevent it from being bombed, Lan Tangjun agreed readily without even asking why.

Lan Tangjun is such a kind-hearted person.

"Then I'll leave it to Lan Tang-kun to take care of it."

Xi Haiqingdou nodded at Lan Bo, and handed him a potted red camellia from behind. He smiled slightly and said briefly: "Gift."

The young man with medium-length black-purple hair and wearing gold-rimmed square glasses has a graceful appearance and temperament. He is holding a down-to-earth potted plant in his hand, and he doesn't look out of place at all.

The French man with long black hair showed a familiar look of helplessness on his face, but he didn't refuse. He took it with both hands, as if he was used to his behavior.

"Is it camellia this time? Thank you, Mr. Mochizuki."

Rimbaud looked down at the camellia in his hand and sighed, "It's just a trivial favor, but I still feel ashamed to receive such a gift. Besides, Mr. Mochizuki, you know that I have never been good at growing flowers..."

"Ah, it doesn't matter. Camellias are in full bloom now anyway, and the flowers will wither in a few months, so it doesn't matter if they can't survive."

Xi Hai Qing Dou said calmly, "In my opinion, Lan Tangjun has actually helped me a lot this time. This is just a gift from me to express my gratitude. You can do whatever you want with it. There is no need to feel any pressure. It doesn't matter even if it dies tomorrow."

Giving a gift is just a way for the giver to express gratitude. Accepting a gift means that the recipient has received the gift. How to deal with the gift afterwards is up to the recipient. What the gift becomes has nothing to do with the giver.

This was what "Mochizuki Kaoru" always thought, and Rimbaud was also very clear about it, so he just nodded helplessly and carried the potted plant in his hand into the house as usual - this was not the first time that Saikai Haruto gave him a potted plant, and by now he was used to how to treat this "special" gift.

Her hobbies are growing flowers and giving flowers to people everywhere... This is something that everyone who is familiar with "Mochizuki Kaoru" knows.

After successfully sending the red camellia away, Xi Hai Qing Dou nodded with satisfaction, turned around and went home and closed the door.

This way... everything is solved perfectly.

After arranging everything, Saikai Haruto began to receive the relevant memories of the world of "Jujutsu O War".

Half an hour later, he lay on the bed with a dull look in his eyes, pretending to be a corpse.

The system wondered: [Host? What’s wrong with you? ]

It stands to reason that it only takes three seconds to receive the plot, and ten minutes to review the plot...but its host has been lying down for half an hour?

[I think... this mission may not be suitable for me. ]

Saikai Haruto said, with a rare look of hesitation on his face, almost like a toothache: [How about... you guys think about it again and send someone else? ]

[Why? Host, didn't you already agree? ]

[That’s because I didn’t expect that “Jujutsu O Wars” is actually a world related to love! ]

Xi Haiqing Dou said loudly: [This looks like a love fighting show? Is it really appropriate for me, a single person for decades, to go to this world to do a mission? ]

The title clearly sounds like a standard 2D hot-blooded fighting show, but it turns out that most of the plot is about emotional tug-of-war... Xi Hai Qing Dou deeply felt that he was deceived by its name.

The system continued to wonder: [But didn't you complete the previous "Inuyasha" related missions? This shouldn't prevent you from sending the player back.]

[You think I completed that mission only because I successfully sent the player back, but I don't think I completed the mission completely. Have you forgotten that because of that, I couldn't keep the "Akabane Rento" vest, and I didn't have enough popularity either.]

Xi Haiqing Dou sneered, [Don't underestimate romance anime! Don't underestimate girls in love! ]

Especially after experiencing the related mission in "Inuyasha", Saikai Haruto understood one thing - don't underestimate anyone who looks ordinary and easy to deal with, even if the other person is just a girl or a child.

...No, or rather, sometimes girls and children are more difficult to deal with!

The system was also in a dilemma: […But by accepting these plot memories, you have implicitly accepted the mission.]

Saikai Haruto: […This is a forced sale, huh? Do I need to remind you that this kind of transaction is illegal?]

[This was proposed by the other world's consciousness and has nothing to do with the system.] The system calmly reminded him: [And there is no law that can apply to these transactions.]

[…You are so cruel.] Xi Haiqing Dou gave the system a middle finger.

He exhaled slowly, lay down on the bed, folded his hands, and closed his eyes: [Okay, that doesn't matter. I won't lose anything if the mission fails. Come on, let me draw a card! Ten draws at a time, let's see what good stuff I can get——]

In his mind, he fiercely pressed the button that meant "Ten consecutive draws".

A beautiful golden light flashed by.

[Mask of Disguise (12h) (SR)]: Wear this and you can transform into someone else entirely - no matter who it is. (Note: it can only be used for a total of 12 hours.)

[Sour Candy (R)]: A box of very sour candies used for pranks. If you eat one, everything you eat will taste like it for ten minutes.

[Super bitter coffee (R)]: This bitter coffee can keep you energetic for 48 hours, but be aware that it is really, really bitter.

[Sour Candy (R)]: A box of very sour candies used for pranks. If you eat one, everything you eat will taste like it for ten minutes.

[Survival from Desperate Situation (SSR)]: You can survive every time you encounter danger, but the price is that you will encounter many dangerous things.

[An Umbrella (R)]: An ordinary black umbrella that can be used by two people. It is very effective in blocking the sun and rain. The characteristic is that it is not easy to be damaged or broken, and it is also very good to use as a weapon.

[Greedy (SSR)]: A special-grade cursed spirit born from human greed. It can copy and use the spells of any sorcerer or cursed spirit it touches within three seconds, and can also merge with any human. Only its consciousness is always as pure as a baby.

[Anywhere Door (One Time) (SR)]: Think of the place you want to go in your mind, open this doorknob, and it will take you to any place on Earth. (PS: Please note that it can only be used once)

[Crowbar (R)]: An ordinary crowbar, but don't underestimate it, after all, it has another nickname called the Holy Sword of Physics.

[Ordinary White Shirt (R)]: Just like its name, it has no other function except making you look a little more handsome.

[…I didn’t draw from the wrong card pool, did I?]

Xi Haiqingdou picked up the SSR vest card in his hand and doubted his life.

[This is the SSR vest, this is it? Curse Spirit? What are you playing with? This vest can be used?! ]

It's fine if it's a cursed spirit, but it even has such a big debuff - "Consciousness will always be as pure as a baby's", which means that after using it you can only be a fool, bah, a fool's cursed spirit, right?

And it looked very ugly - Xi Hai Qing Dou turned the card over, and on the card was a black, weird-looking ugly thing that looked very much like a freak.

...If you are so ugly, forget about gaining popularity, right?

Moreover, he had seen from those "plots" that the protagonists were all sorcerers who specialized in exorcising cursed spirits? And the special abilities of the players this time... I'm afraid he would be beaten to death by the protagonists before he even had a chance to see them after putting on his vest? How could he complete the mission?

……etc.

“Being able to merge into one with any human being”… Saikai Haruto’s eyes suddenly lit up.

[System, can vests be integrated with other vests? ]

It seems... it can be used after some modifications and patching up?
