Chapter 31 Winery Occasion Traitor Radar
That’s too much!
Fushimi-sama or something...
This formal honorific is something you rarely hear in daily life, but it was spoken by Toru Amuro in such a mocking tone.
Is this the treatment for those in power? It's so evil.
The player thought dizzily.
"Ah, are you scared?" Amuro Toru blinked, his upper body leaning forward towards her and straightening up again. The thin, sticky atmosphere suddenly cleared, and he said casually, "Sorry, sorry, it was just a joke."
Like a cat that actively shows its friendliness to people, but immediately retreats when people reach out to touch it.
...at least no claws were shown.
Three Bottles of Whiskey No one raised any objection to the fact that they had to obey the orders of a non-code member, no matter how the three of them guessed about the orders of that gentleman.
Scotland didn't say anything, only pausing for a moment at the beginning before asking in a steady voice, "What do you need us to do?"
Since they were going to help the other party pass the test that gentleman had put on her, they needed to understand the specific content of the task and then gradually agree on the details.
...Although, I have never heard of a situation where other people are allowed to participate in completing such an assessment task.
The purpose of the assessment mission is to test the newcomers' abilities in all aspects. I can't imagine what level of difficulty the mission would be if it required three more code members to perform it.
Are they going to openly fly a helicopter to straf the Tokyo Tower?
Was it that gentleman's special preference for her, or was the image she created so unreliable that she was worried about failing the assessment mission...
Since it has come to this, why not just give her a code name for the wine?
Fūya Rei had some mocking thoughts in his heart.
“…”
Scotland did not look away after the question. His clear blue eyes were filled with a deep look, as if he had transformed himself into a sharp knife, or a machine that would absolutely obey orders, quietly waiting for the player's instructions.
At this time Scotland felt very much like Scotland again.
Wait, why did she say 'again'?
Fushimi Kyoji thought carefully about why he had such an impression.
"Perhaps not thinking about anything would make me feel more relaxed." The young man with phoenix eyes said this while holding the steering wheel tightly with one hand. From the player's perspective, he couldn't see the other person's face.
Naturally, we cannot see what kind of complicated mood Scotland was in at that time.
The only thing I know is that the unapproachable attitude and the sharp aura that followed him like a shadow seemed to fade away briefly at that moment, revealing another unknown side underneath.
Calmer and less aggressive...
Fushimi Kyoji thought about it for a moment.
If Scotland doesn't have a chuunibyou or a histrionic personality, it's very likely that he's under too much pressure and has suffered from some kind of mental illness, which has caused his mood swings - and this phenomenon is very common in organizations.
After being in a criminal organization for many years and being influenced by all aspects of the environment, it is difficult not to develop into a psychopath.
Ah, but those with strong minds like Gin are a different matter.
"Steal intelligence? Assassinate a congressman? Kidnap an important researcher?" He methodically listed the possible missions and raised his eyes. Unlike his usual flickering expression, his pupils trembled slightly as he paid attention to the expression of the person in front of him, not missing a single detail. "Or..."
To prevent Toru Amuro from continuing to guess, the player opens the task bar, clicks on the task target 'Active Area', and selects [Modify].
Select the information about Tokyo in [Information Push] and fill it in above.
【submit】
*Active Area: ██
...East█
……Tokyo"
The marks made with marker gradually faded, revealing the obscured text underneath.
The correct answer is not difficult to guess.
The mission content stated that the target would intend to retaliate against the police in Tokyo. There was less than a week left for the time-limited code mission. The other party would definitely prepare everything within the time limit, and there was almost no other option.
As for why players choose Tokyo...
——Just a random guess.
If it shows a submission error, she will fill in Nagano next.
Now that we have the approximate location of the target NPC, let's move on...
Fushimi Kyoji looked directly at Amuro Toru, his voice suddenly disappeared, and even the faint smile on his face faded a little.
Looking towards Scotland and Rye respectively, the player excitedly announced, "Let's go now!"
The three bottles of whiskey were all drawn to the player's actions, their attention focused on her raised smile.
"Destination, Tokyo!"
Although the target location was stated, they still did not know the specific mission details.
Amuro Toru glanced at the player who was paying attention to Lei's movements, and when he saw him walking towards the car, he quickly stood up and prepared to follow him.
There was a slight flash in his purple-gray eyes. Amuro Toru walked past the two of them, raised his hand to open the back door, and then raised his eyes as if unintentionally.
It was easy to understand this as an 'invitation'. As expected, the player was obviously stunned for a moment after looking into his eyes, gave up his original choice, and walked towards him uncertainly.
Closing the car door with one hand, Toru Amuro looked over the roof of the car and received a look from Lei that showed no emotion.
It seems that the other party is not completely unaware of who is following him.
Toru Amuro curled his eyes at the other person and gave him a smile that looked extremely fake and a bit provocative.
After starting the car, Toru Amuro focused on debugging the communication equipment, connecting to the team channel, and then setting it to a mode where he could have real-time conversations by pressing a button.
"Before we arrive in Tokyo, let me ask you something." With his hands on the steering wheel, Amuro Toru didn't look at the other person in the car when he spoke. He looked ahead, paying attention to the passing vehicles. "We should not be completely unprepared. I mean..."
While waiting for the traffic light, he winked at the pair of green eyes in the rearview mirror that were staring at him without fail: "At least, tell us a rough outline of the battle plan?"
"Of course, if that gentleman specifically requested that the mission details be kept confidential, please disregard my previous words."
The perceptive and troublesome Lei was not in the car and could only hear their conversation through the device. Amuro Toru was not worried that his true intentions would be discovered.
Especially since this is just a normal question that fits the character's personality.
It is well known that every intelligence officer has an overly strong curiosity.
The identity of an intelligence officer can sometimes serve as a good cover for his spying activities.
Fushimi Kyoji briefly summarized the characteristics of the target according to the content of the task.
"Not part of the local Tokyo forces? Might he be hostile? Hostile towards... the police?" Toru Amuro tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, and the brief pause seemed to be building an image of the target in his mind so as not to attract the attention of the other end of the communication device.
"It sounds like he's just a pleasure-seeking criminal who hates the police." Amuro Toru couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror in front of him, and asked in a deliberately tentative tone, "Could it be that there is something about him that the organization values?"
"..." The radio equipment on Scotland and Lei's side remained silent, as if it was disconnected, and did not participate in the conversation between the two.
Therefore, most of the time, only Toru Amuro's voice could be heard.
A disgusting, joyful criminal with ugly malice towards the police, a twisted mind, and no different from a gutter rat.
Amuro Toru's masseter muscles tensed for a moment, then relaxed silently.
How could such a guy be valued by the organization?
"Well...well, actually it's due to personal reasons." She held up her face, as if in a trance, and there was obvious hesitation in her tone.
Confessing the truth to a potential target is for the sake of others. Even with closed eyes, you can tell that this is definitely a bad option that will only make you lose favor!
Amuro Toru's eyes moved slightly, and the interpersonal relationships of 'Fushimi Kyoki' quickly emerged in his mind. After eliminating the screening, two familiar names were stuck in his throat.
"Ha, you don't want to get rid of harm for the people, do you?" Amuro Toru deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of certain words to prevent the other party from not hearing the sarcasm.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an unfriendly sneer.
"Or... among those whom the target sees as prey, is there someone he cares about? For example..."
A dangerous aura gradually spread, and a voice mixed with hints of coldness seemed to penetrate into the ears, causing people to shudder instantly.
"Those cops?"
Player: The name suddenly became so bad!
Well, they are criminals anyway...
"Do I need to remind you of the fate of traitors?" Amuro Toru simply stopped the car.
Leaning on the seat with one hand, he turned around to look at her directly, so as not to miss any details.
“…”
Any questioning of the organization's position will be met with a huge rebuttal.
Whether it's fear of Gin's gun or panic about not being trusted in the future, their reactions are usually revealed, frantically using body movements to emphasize and finding loopholes in their language to refute.
Because there was no response for a long time, Amuro Toru felt anxious as if things were out of his control.
He stared at the player, as if examining him.
Knowing clearly that it is impossible to get a positive answer, you use this to eliminate the other party.
I accidentally glanced at the message sent by Hagiwara on the other person's phone, and the intimate tone revealed in the content kept circling in my mind.
Even if you clear away all the distracting thoughts that cannot prove any speculation, you will still inevitably be disturbed.
Fushimi Kyoji, Fushimi Kyoji looked at the [Black Organization] behind his camp on the panel... and the changes behind it!
Rebellion or something...
Hey, I haven't had that idea yet.
Furuya Rei: When he questioned my stance, I suddenly had a guilty look on my face!!!
"This reaction... can I understand it as a sign of guilty conscience?" As he pressed forward with increasing momentum, Toru Amuro didn't think the other party had any possibility of betrayal.
He really couldn't imagine what motivation the second-generation members, who were highly expected and would soon get the code name for the wine, would have to rebel.
Amuro Toru said in an unpleasant tone, "Eh," "You're not going to answer?"
Wow!
The initial background setting is that of an organization member, and the player rarely encounters a situation where their position is doubted.
But now, players can subtly feel the pressure from others facing Gin from Toru Amuro!
Unlike the coldness and sternness when Gin released his murderous intent, Amuro Toru was smiling with an aggressive and mocking smile that would never make people associate it with warmth.
"Maybe you should go talk to Gin."
The player thought that perhaps the two of them would unexpectedly have something to talk about, referring to their sensitivity towards traitors.
Is this... intimidation?
Amuro Toru's smile remained unchanged: "Excuse me, just a quick reminder, although Gin can issue tasks to code members, it does not mean that we have a superior-subordinate relationship."
"Well, but..."
He raised his hands to head level, as if nothing had happened, and said in a conceding tone, "Yes, yes, I understand."
The curve of Toru Amuro's mouth gradually dropped, and the warmth in his eyes disappeared along with it.
"……learn."
