Chapter 111 This is a victory for the slacking-off party...
Although the "vegetable greenhouse" did look quite eerie, the traps inside didn't hold off Morofushi Kagemitsu for long. Relying on his knowledge of Mello and his anti-fraud tips, he dodged many underhanded tricks along the way.
His purpose this time is to organize the "pharmacies" and laboratory data for the application for fundraising materials; there is no need to go to other places for the time being.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: There are still people working overtime in the observation room, but the pharmacy downstairs is short-staffed; the only person on duty is asleep.]
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Let's go downstairs and grab some stock. We've already tampered with the security cameras and Shiho Miyano's email inbox as much as possible, but there's still a subtle force repelling us. We'd better act quickly.]
Are you sure there aren't any traps there?
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Probably not. We even checked this employee's attendance record; he's never received a perfect attendance bonus. Slacking off is his norm. Go ahead and do it without worry.]
become……
Since the anti-fraud expert had specifically reminded him, Morofushi Hiromitsu did not insist on collecting experimental data and decided to get his hands on the drug first, as they had planned before.
He quickly passed the large open space in front of the warehouse and quietly approached the duty room. Seeing that the duty officer was indeed sleeping soundly without any concern, he silently gave this bold worker a thumbs up.
The anti-fraud team didn't hold back; they copied his employee ID and opened the warehouse's electronic lock, which could be considered a form of opening the warehouse and distributing supplies.
However, there's one more thing to ask before looking for the medicine.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Is this a precaution for carrying it? No. Look at Gin, he carries it around everywhere and nothing happens. If you're really worried, you can wear gloves.]
No. I just wanted to ask, what was the drug's serial number again?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Huh?! You didn't know?!]
The information you provided was all glossed over with various pronouns, and Miyano Akemi didn't say anything explicitly, so how am I supposed to know?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: Uh...]
Morofushi Kagemitsu: ...I said, you wouldn't—
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Don't rush, don't rush, don't rush! We're analyzing it right now, I'll tell you shortly! Ah, this... let's decode the various experimental data first... wait, do we need security questions for this kind of thing?]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: It's okay, let me check the daily report~ Why are there so many handwritten notes? These are such ugly characters, I can't even recognize them! You guys need to practice your handwriting!]
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Let's check the surveillance footage... Phew, thankfully, we didn't encounter any obstacles this time. A batch of drugs was sent to the observation room two days ago to oversee processing; it should be in the second cabinet on your left now.]
Zhu Fujingguang remained silent for a long time, not wanting to waste precious time with these little devils, and went straight to the large cabinet they pointed to, beginning to examine the things on it.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: Based on our speculation, it's likely a capsule-like substance. Boxes containing this type of medicine are usually stored on the 3rd to 6th shelf.]
Number 148 made amends by actively providing suggestions, while Number 11 remained resentful about the mistakes they had just made.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: This is so strange! How could we make such a mistake?! We were already at that detailed step, how could we forget something like the serial number?]
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Hey, actually, besides being inconvenient for finding the medicine, this number doesn't really mean anything. At worst... we can just steal a little of each medicine, we're bound to find one or two.]
[Anti-fraud expert #66: ...Even if the person outside is sound asleep, you can't just blatantly treat him like a fool and scam him, can you?]
Before the anti-fraud team could even process what had happened, the topic had already veered off course. Morofushi Hiromitsu had no choice but to resign himself to opening and closing each box, using his limited memories from a few years ago to distinguish which of the identical boxes contained the new medicines.
One box that stood out from the others caught his eye.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Found it! Found it! The serial number is APTX-4869.]
Could it be this?
Without thinking too much, Morobushi Kagemitsu reached out and took it.
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 11: Wait, I don't see any numbers on it...]
When Morofushi Kagemitsu opened the box, a blue and white capsule was placed in the middle, and there was indeed nothing written on it.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: This one, there's only one. It shouldn't be the kind of drug Gin would waste around with, right?]
From a practical standpoint, it's not, but it's strange that there's only one of these things and it's placed here alone.
Morofushi Kagemitsu glanced at the box containing the capsule again, but still received no further information.
[Anti-fraud expert #26: I didn't see any individually packaged pills in the register. When did it get mixed in?]
Is this drug not registered?
Morofushi Kagemitsu had a sudden thought and decided to take it with him. After all, he was already here, so he might as well pocket anything suspicious and examine it carefully; who knows, there might be some valuable secrets waiting to be discovered.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: ...Okay, maybe it's some kind of guidance from fate or something.]
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Finally finished scanning. The sixth floor was cleaned yesterday by the person on duty, who mixed up the two medications. Now APTX-4869 is on the seventh floor.]
Following the instructions of the anti-fraud expert, Morofushi Kagemitsu took out a box. This time, it contained red and white capsules, which looked much more normal. However, his gaze was still drawn to the label "Highly Toxic," a label that had nothing to do with rejuvenation.
Looking at this, he began to recall the prophetic article he had seen before his time travel, which described Shiho Miyano's condition and feelings after taking it. Clearly, both Gin and the main person in charge of this drug considered it poison.
So, what happened to Shinichi Kudo might not be a common occurrence? Perhaps those on the drug trial death list weren't test subjects specifically chosen by the organization.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If others had encountered a situation similar to Kudo's, Gin would have reported it long ago. How could he have allowed this kid to live peacefully until now?
Morofushi Kagemitsu gradually realized this, and he seemed to begin to understand why Kudo Shinichi was that "special person".
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Shinichi Kudo's situation is indeed an isolated case, but this accident achieved the organization's goal. After all, the organization has said things like "time reversal" and "resurrection," and this drug has already achieved half of their KPI.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 11: But this survival rate...]
[Anti-fraud expert #66: At least it provides a direction, doesn't it? With the organization's financial and human resources, it could easily build something out of sheer numbers.]
The kind of thing you're describing is something the organization is indeed capable of doing.
Morofushi Kagemitsu listened silently to their discussion, fully aware of the consequences if the organization discovered this "special aftereffect." It would be a significant obstacle not only to Kudo Shinichi himself, but also to their plan to eliminate the organization.
The exchange of thoughts was rapid; the anti-fraud expert had just finished speaking at length, and he had only just finished examining the capsule. With this suspicion, he felt even more strongly that the blue and white capsule that had appeared among the vast pile of drugs should be taken along as well.
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Okay, take it then. We shouldn't stay here any longer. I think we should get out of here quickly! Something feels off about this place; maybe there's some kind of brain-damaging debuff...]
Amidst his rambling thoughts on the 26th, Morofushi Kagemitsu quietly left, and before leaving, he even adjusted the sleeping position of the staff on duty to prevent them from getting a stiff neck.
As a result, he woke up the next day with a stiff neck.
However, as if things weren't going to go wrong, he got out of bed, clutching his neck, and heard another piece of terrible news:
Today's date is wrong again.
[Anti-Fraud King No. 198: Now it's jumped to June 19th again, Monday. We still can't go back.]
Since we can't go back, will what we did yesterday still have any impact on us on this date?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: Yes, yesterday was yesterday. You saw a news report about a bank robbery, just on a different date.]
What about the Miyano sisters? How are they doing?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Hmm... things are a bit complicated. Because of the time jump, we don't actually know what happened after that day, and we're trying to gather information.]
What kind of argument is this? Didn't you say "today is yesterday"?
[Anti-fraud expert #205: In everyone's perception, this is indeed the case. But in reality, it's simply a matter of grafting people's memories of a particular day together. For example, yesterday was May 27th, and today is June 19th. Nothing exactly happened in between; it's just that the memory of the entire day of June 19th was transferred to May 28th. The sense of incongruity and the fragmented memory are blurred, allowing people to accept the drastically changed world quite naturally.]
But I can't "naturally" know that it's a change, because am I someone who shouldn't exist?
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 11: That's one way to understand it. Therefore, we have no memory or record of what happened during this period. However, through some clues and news on social media platforms, we can still piece together most of the events.]
In other words, the information gap between oneself and people at this time can be bridged, as long as one pays attention to the things that "take for granted" have happened in their memories when interacting with others.
[Anti-fraud expert #66: That's right, no matter how time jumps, this world still operates according to certain rules. Didn't you want to know about the Miyano sisters? I just saw someone mention it on the forum. Um, everyone says…]
What did you say? Did their whereabouts get exposed? And were they silenced by the organization?!
Morobuchi Kagemitsu's heart jumped.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: No, not really... I don't think headlines like "Sisters Clash! Sherry Elopes for Love!", "Five Years Apart, Miyano Yuya Sheds a Thousand Tears!", or "Ah~! Sherry! The Domineering Gin is Back!" seem like the kind of thing that would lead to her being silenced...]
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
What kind of filthy things are these?!
