Chapter 105 (No skipping!)
This weekend is destined to be extraordinary.
I don't know who was so inconsiderate, after giving the pigeons laxatives, they gave them another strong dose, causing the pigeons that habitually come to Times Square every day to go berserk and start clucking at anyone they see.
The place is now teeming with pigeons and birds. From the police and FBI agents to the homeless people who have just been handcuffed, everyone is trying their best to deal with the suddenly rebellious, plump white pigeons.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Watch out! Three more are coming from the left front! Run! Run!]
After dodging the pigeon's claws for the third time, Morofushi Kagemitsu exchanged a glance with Akai Hideaki, who was somewhat disheveled after grabbing the pigeon's wing. They tacitly moved towards nearby buildings, always trying to get away from the crowd and protect themselves.
He always felt that Number 11 inherited the most "prophetic talent" from the Anti-Fraud Center, though it would be even better if he wasn't particularly accurate in predicting bad things.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: This isn't my fault, is it? I just mentioned it casually yesterday, who would have thought it would actually happen...]
The little alpaca mumbled to itself, its voice growing softer and softer.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: Sigh, I expected things might get a little turbulent today, but I never imagined it would be like this...]
Yes... why did he have a familiar, uneasy feeling when such a nonsensical accident happened?
However, he didn't have time to think too much about the current situation. He quickly glanced around and rushed towards the convenience store, which was already quite crowded. He noticed that Shuichi Akai had entered the store first.
Amidst the chaos, neither of them considered halting the day's transaction. In fact, they even intended to use the chaos to complete the rendezvous procedure and then sneak off to the second location to meet Shiho Miyano directly.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Move to the right! There's a middle-aged man wearing a MAGA red hat on your left, and he's about to grab a wrench and smash the person next to you.]
As soon as Morofushi Kagemitsu entered the store, he heard the little alpaca floating on his shoulder issue a warning. He immediately took a step back to the right and used his left hand to grab the redneck uncle's wrist to prevent any more head-cracking tragedy from happening.
Shuichi Akai, who had successfully blended into the crowd, secretly lent a hand by holding down the young black man to his right who was thinking about doing some free shopping, thus preventing the situation from becoming more chaotic.
He wondered what his colleague had said to him through his earpiece. He noticed that his former duo partner was frowning even more deeply.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: They said that pigeons have messed up and damaged a lot of the power lines nearby, and there might be another power outage soon. They told him to find a way to evacuate as soon as possible.]
[Anti-fraud expert #198: But he still decided to go straight to the point, ignoring them under the pretext of poor signal.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: ...This plot is pretty good, I... well, I'll save it for later. Once the island issue is resolved, I'll definitely post a lot!]
The alpaca's body was flashing again, like a signal tower constantly collecting data.
The exchange didn't take long; Shuichi Akai's subtle change in expression flashed by, but it wasn't very noticeable. He simply glanced at his surroundings, gestured to Hiromitsu Morofushi, and then turned a corner and disappeared into the convenience store's shelves.
This means we should stagger our evacuation and finally meet up at the gas station on the east side.
Morofushi Kagemitsu understood the meaning of the gesture and, without further ado, skillfully shifted his position in the crowd, intending to wait a little longer before exiting through the main gate.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: How do you read so much information from just two gestures?]
[Anti-fraud expert #19: Hmm... Although the security camera at that gas station on the east side is half cracked, you can still see that there's a car parked there. Is he planning to elope with you?]
[Anti-fraud expert #11: In this situation where pigeons are flying everywhere, this is "living a carefree life with you in this mortal world~"]
A mini microphone was projected in front of alpaca number 11, and it started singing in place amidst the crowd in the convenience store.
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
He took a deep breath, telling himself he should be used to it by now; these clowns always liked to crack jokes at tense moments, so he should just pretend he didn't hear them. In short, the most important thing now was to find Akai.
He walked towards the door and squeezed his way out.
Just then, a can of cookies fell from a high shelf outside the convenience store, smashing the lid open and scattering cookie fragments everywhere.
Zhu Fujingguang paused, his heart pounding, the uneasy premonition growing stronger.
The anti-fraud officers, who had been performing a group comedy routine in the background, suddenly issued a warning!
[Anti-Fraud Guru #148: Watch out! Another flock of pigeons has arrived! Get down on your hands and knees!]
Morofushi Kagemitsu immediately crouched down towards the shopping cart aisle, where a railing offered some protection. Unfortunately, a tall white man in the aisle made the same mistake, and the two bumped heads together.
The impact made their heads buzz, and neither of them managed to dodge the pigeon's sudden attack.
"Hiss! Awooo!"
Morofushi Kagemitsu felt a couple of scratches on his face and heard more goods falling from the shelves, hitting him, but he endured it without making a sound. The man opposite him, however, shouted out without any restraint.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Huh? What's going on? No way... /*+^]
[$》*#%……]
With his vision obstructed, Morobushi Kagemitsu could no longer see the alpacas circling around him, and the signal began to malfunction.
He covered his head, feeling that the impact was so strong that his heart was beating faster and faster, and now it was very difficult for him to move.
After a while, the surroundings were still chaotic, but he could feel that there was nothing pressing down on him anymore. The unruly pigeons had finally let him go. He quietly curled up for a short while before slowly peeking out.
He brushed the pigeon feathers and biscuit crumbs off his clothes while looking around to assess the situation.
As soon as he took one look, he was dumbfounded.
Um? !
Where did he end up? Is this still in China?! Shouldn't I be in front of a convenience store? Shouldn't Times Square be in front of me? How did it suddenly turn into a park?
Am I hallucinating because of the pigeons? Otherwise, how could I possibly see Tokyo Tower from so far away in New York?
Zhu Fujingguang closed his eyes, then opened them again. Before him was still the messy park. A large truck and a car had rear-ended each other by the roadside, and somehow most of the cargo on the truck had fallen out.
Unfortunately, I seem to be an innocent bystander who gets hit by the goods that were moved out.
What's going on?
Anti-fraud team? Are you still there?
[^%*…～+#……]
[Hello? Hello?]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Wow, finally connected! Jing, are you alright?!]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: Damn it! Fate has played another trick on us, sending us on another time-travel adventure!]
[Anti-fraud expert #148: This... this means we've been driven back to Japan. Strictly speaking, we're still in China.]
Ah, so it was just time travel. I thought the organization was testing me in some strange way. It gave me quite a fright.
[Anti-fraud expert #66: Hmm... If you can adapt, that's good.]
Haha, he was wondering why this absurd scene seemed so familiar. Last time it was cotton candy smeared on the face, and this time it's a whole swarm of pigeons attacking. Why does time travel have to involve this trick?
A few girls passing by kindly lent a hand, and Morofushi Kagemitsu finally stood up, staggering a bit. He politely thanked the girls, took out a handkerchief from his pocket to tidy himself up, and waited quietly by the roadside for the police to arrive.
Come to think of it, I seem to have to go to the police station again; I'm already used to this routine.
From afar, Morobushi Kagemitsu saw several uniformed traffic police officers riding motorcycles towards him. He thanked the girls who had waited with him by the roadside for a while and urged them to go home quickly. After all, it was getting dark, and the scene was chaotic.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Why is the connection so slow this time... Ah, it's because the time span is too large! It's like they've pushed us five years into the future!]
Five years!
Even Morofushi Kagemitsu, who was used to time travel, was surprised by this point in time. He subconsciously put his hand on his chest and found that his heartbeat was actually very steady.
Hmm? Right? Logically speaking, such a long period of time should be too much for one's body to handle.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: That's because we've directly activated and upgraded the "adult anti-addiction mode," so it can relieve you of half the pressure.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Waaah, because of this, even our favorite alpaca virtual shell is no longer working...]
...Alright, when we get back to the past, I'll use the energy to exchange for a new one for you.
But you only relieved half the pressure, what about the other half? It shouldn't have been reduced by half; it should only be this level of intensity.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Hmm, as for your other half... it's because you're no longer here at this point in time, so...]
Ah, I see.
Morofushi Kagemitsu was quite calm when he heard the news of his death, but he felt somewhat sorry for his brother and friends, and also regretted the training and support that the Public Security Group had invested in him.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: ...Cheer up, everyone! This is just the unchanging future. With us involved, how could Jing possibly get into trouble?]
[Anti-Fraud King No. 205: That's right, now we've finally figured out the pattern of the next time travel. Besides rescuing the undercover agents from all sides, we can use the information we get from the future to help our past selves, thereby changing the ending of the story.]
[Anti-Fraud King No. 198: This kind of time travel will probably happen a few more times; the more information we can get, the better.]
Although the virtual avatar of the anti-fraud king is temporarily unavailable, he can still imagine the adorable scene of several twinkling alpacas surrounding him and cheering him on.
For a moment, he also felt a sense of anticipation and hope for his future.
Moreover, his transmigration not only carries the burden of his own life and death, but also the fate of his comrades who are still resisting the organization. Their fate must also be respected.
Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly adjusted his mindset and decided to first gather as much information as possible about this point in time before launching his intervention plan.
He hadn't forgotten that this time travel was to save the Miyano sisters.
