Chapter 31 Morofushi's Suspicion [VIP]
Scotland and Rye:
Mission Location: Amusement Park; Mission Objective: Kill Traitor N and retrieve organization and research institute data. Traitor N has fled to the amusement park, seeking refuge at another organization's research institute. It is imperative to kill the traitor before the institute's personnel arrive to prevent him from leaking secrets.
Traitor N also possesses other information about the research institute; you must obtain it. Do not appear in front of the research institute, and avoid direct conflict.
—Rum.
Rei Furuya frowned after reading the mission. "The research institute... it's connected to the research institute." Getting involved with the research institute might cause some trouble.
Two or three years ago, this research institute suddenly emerged and wiped out many Japanese gangs with irresistible force. From an unknown small organization, it jumped to become one of the top gang forces. It is said that its territory in Tokyo is now comparable to that of the Black Organization.
There seems to be a rumor that the institute is named after the gang members they often arrest to conduct research. Their leader has said that he wants to create a god, a Japanese god. They worship Izanachi, and they regard the institute's leader as the Izanachi of the human world.
However, the people at the research institute are extremely mysterious. They do big things in a low-key manner, and then publicize them in a high-profile manner after they are done. The police wanted to send undercover agents to investigate in depth, but they couldn't make any connections at all. Every clue was scattered and could not be linked together.
“I will keep an eye on the research institute,” said Morofushi Hiromitsu. The research institute’s stance is to go against the Black Organization and become a gang far surpassing the Black Organization. Both organizations are extremely dangerous, and neither can be allowed to survive.
"careful."
"It's said that the organization that's been having a major conflict with the research institute lately is on the verge of collapse. It's called... Sakura no Blade Pavilion, yes, that's it," said Morofushi Kagemitsu.
"It's not so bad that the Japanese yakuza fight amongst themselves. As long as ordinary people aren't involved, they can have their own internal conflicts," Furuya Rei said. "However, I still don't want the Black Organization to be surpassed by the research institute, otherwise... the Japanese yakuza will be harder to manage in the future."
If they could eradicate the current number one yakuza organization, it would serve as a deterrent to other smaller groups, and could even be eliminated along with them. However, if the research institute were to dominate the Japanese underworld, it's uncertain what changes they would make to the entire Japanese yakuza system, and whether they would implicate innocent civilians. Judging from the institute's current actions, once they gain power, they would definitely arrest ordinary people for research.
We must find a way to obtain relevant information from the research institute and make further plans.
After returning to the organization, the two parted ways. Furuya Rei wrote a mission report and handed it to the person in charge, Gin, before finally submitting it to the organization's boss for review. Morofushi Hiromitsu and Rai had already added each other as friends through Rum, and he was on his way to the meeting place.
Before even reaching the location, the smell of smoke was already noticeable. Morifushi Kagemitsu couldn't help but frown. In the distance, he saw a long-haired man wearing a black knitted hat, leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth and his eyes lowered, making it impossible to read his expression.
"Ray?" Seeing that his appearance matched the description in the text message, Morofushi Kagemitsu called out tentatively.
"Yes, Scotland." Shuichi Akai nodded slightly. "Shall we head to the mission location and lie in wait?"
“Yes, it’s uncertain when traitor N will appear, but it will probably be in the next day or two. We’ll probably have to take turns guarding him, cough cough cough…” Morofushi Kagemitsu said, and couldn’t help coughing when he smelled the smoke.
“Sorry,” Shuichi Akai stubbed out his cigarette with a tissue and then put it in his pocket. “I’m used to doing missions alone.” He raised his chin and pointed to the red Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 beside him. “Let’s go.”
After placing the bass bag containing the sniper rifle into the trunk, Morofushi Kagemitsu opened the car door, sat solemnly in the back seat, and noticed that there were many cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of the driver's seat.
Noticing Morofushi Hiromitsu's gaze, Akai Shuichi smiled faintly. "I smoke to relax when I'm bored or frustrated." He handed the other a pack of cigarettes. "Here, have one."
"Oh, no, thank you." Morofushi Kagemitsu waved his hand to refuse.
“Okay,” Akai Hideaki put the cigarette pack back in its place and started the car.
The two didn't exchange many words on the way and soon arrived at their destination—the amusement park. They walked around the amusement park a few times, and Shuichi Akai found a room on the 14th floor of a hotel with a view of the entire amusement park and even the smallest details. However, just to be on the safe side, they booked a room on the 15th floor of the same hotel. The view wasn't particularly good, but it was still expansive, and it was still quite effective with binoculars.
It was a double room. The two of them checked in with their bass bags. Shuichi Akai looked around the hotel and relaxed only after confirming that there were no miniature surveillance cameras or listening devices. He sat on the blanket, opened his bass bag, took out the bass and partition he used for disguise, and carefully took out his beloved AWM.338Lap Mag sniper rifle and wiped it carefully.
Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't care about any of that. Through the hotel window, he looked out at the amusement park, taking in every piece of equipment, every person, and every movement clearly. With the advanced telescopes developed by the organization, he could even see the contents of people's mobile phones. It was a good place.
"Ray does have some ability," thought Morofushi Kagemitsu.
"You rest first, I'll observe tonight." Shuichi Akai nodded in satisfaction after wiping his beloved AWM gun, and said to Hiromitsu Morofushi.
"Let's observe together. I don't feel tired. This way I'll feel more at ease." It's better to be cautious since this is our first mission together.
"Hmm." Shuichi Akai withdrew his gaze and continued to admire his gun.
Seeing this, Morofushi Kagemitsu consciously stood at the hotel window to observe, wondering when the traitor N would make his move, and whether he could obtain from the traitor N the information that would make the Black Organization fear him, as well as information about the research institute...
After a moment of silent contemplation, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a very familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. Zhu Fujingguang narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing the familiar figure. Why was he here?
—It is Cheng You.
"..." Morofushi Kagemitsu did not continue observing. He did not completely trust Cheng You, but he was certain that the other party was on the same side as him. He was just unsure of Cheng You's purpose. Morofushi Kagemitsu did not believe that Cheng You was only helping him because of Matsukawa Yuki. He just did not know what kind of connection or purpose was involved.
Regardless of the circumstances, cooperation is important, but one should also exercise restraint, especially regarding one's own vulnerabilities.
He watched Cheng You standing under the shade of a tree, rubbing his face with his hand. It was strange; he didn't know why, but it seemed as if he was chatting with someone. His expression changed from angry to flushed, then to natural, and then to speechless.
Morofushi Kagemitsu: ...Could it be that the other party is under too much pressure and has become ill from holding it in?
He pondered for a moment, and when he came to his senses, his gaze fell on Cheng You again. He suddenly realized that Cheng You was also looking up at the building. They seemed to be exchanging glances from afar, as if separated by air.
Zhu Fujingguang was startled and frowned: Damn it, does he know I'm here? Or… does he know what's about to happen here? He's definitely not simple…
A few minutes earlier, Cheng You, wrapped in a down jacket under the shade of a tree, had his exposed face chilled by the cold wind. He reached out and rubbed his face to warm it up, while his mind was still engaged in a conversation with the system.
Cheng You: [You're a real dog.]
The system said rather helplessly, "But the host promised the system master to do two more tasks~"
Cheng thought to himself: I really shouldn't have been soft-hearted and agreed back then.
Cheng You's face was slightly flushed from the wind as he thought to himself, "This is the mission you were talking about? I finally managed to reach an agreement with Zhu Fujingguang, and now I'm suddenly showing up here. How can he not be suspicious?"
The system was silent for a moment, then spoke softly: "But this mission is truly important. Although it's just an optional mission, it can help the host seize power in the future. Good luck, host."
Cheng sighed, but had no choice but to accept the mission. Wasn't it just about communicating with N, the traitor of the Black Organization, to get information about the winery and research institute? It wasn't difficult at all (clenched fists jpg). He could do it.
Cheng gritted his teeth: "I will never do any more deals with you. The system is too cold for me to touch!"
He glanced at the photo of traitor N a few more times and quickly memorized it.
Looking at the nearby hotel buildings, Cheng You silently calculated which floor and which room would offer the best view of everything. He squinted at the window of the 14th-floor room, the best spot for observation, and pondered for a moment. Then he looked up at the 15th-floor room. The floor was very high, and he couldn't see the situation inside very clearly. There seemed to be a shadow, but Cheng You didn't pay much attention to it. In the cold weather, he just wanted to warm himself up as soon as possible.
He thought to himself: Hmm... The room on the 14th floor has a good view but it's easy to arouse suspicion, so I'll choose this one upstairs.
Thinking this, Cheng You withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and headed to the hotel. Upon learning at the front desk that the room on the 15th floor had been booked, Cheng You couldn't help but shed tears in his heart. What a pity.
The hotel was warm, and Cheng You gradually regained consciousness. Just as he was about to change rooms, he suddenly remembered that he had seen a dark figure next to the window on the 15th floor. This... might be Morofushi Kagemitsu and his partner. It's possible that the person standing there is Morofushi Kagemitsu!
The system told him that the person in charge of this mission at the amusement park was Scotland, but he didn't know who his mission partner was.
Cheng You pursed his lips and chose a room on the 13th floor below that room to avoid it. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to explain his appearance, saying that he had hacked into his account, saw the task, and decided to come and help.
Absolutely not! This exposes a lot of his private life; Scotland will really ruin him!
Cheng You pursed his lips, trying to reassure himself. "Oh well, how could it be such a coincidence? Hahaha, I'm just scaring myself. There's no such thing as a coincidence. Scotland is probably busy with his mission, and his companions don't even know me. Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay."
With that thought in mind, Cheng put his hands in his pockets and got into the elevator.
After entering the room, Cheng You lay on the sofa and checked his messages. Zhu Fujingguang hadn't sent him any messages, so it seemed he didn't know he was here too. Hmm... that's good.
