Chapter 117 Unstoppable
Sensing the fluctuation, Morofushi Kagemitsu immediately placed his hand on his increasingly rapid heartbeat, and almost instantly recalled his disheveled appearance before he transmigrated.
Will we have to go through this all over again?!
Before the thought had even faded from his mind, trouble struck.
Whether it was the flock of pigeons running amok or his restless modified car, he heard a loud crash, as if something had hit the car, followed by the sound of heavy objects scattering on the ground, and the surroundings became chaotic.
This scene seemed so familiar... indeed...
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: We're back! We're back!]
—You're back.
While returning to one's own time and space is a cause for celebration, it is clear that now is not the time to relax.
Morofushi Kagemitsu is still facing collapsing shelves and aggressive pigeons.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #148: Another bunch of cookie jars are about to fall! They're in the area to your upper left!]
[Anti-fraud expert #11: The shopping cart! Use that shopping cart to block the way!]
Before he could even catch his breath from the effects of time travel, Morofushi Kagemitsu had no choice but to quickly follow the anti-fraud guide's directions and dodge around, narrowly escaping the supermarket. He even managed to pick up the little girl who had almost fallen face-first to the ground and, while she looked terrified, placed her next to a run-down repair shop that few people frequented.
Having caught his breath, he calmly looked around and began to recall the plans and arrangements he had made before traveling through time. He would be in the future for almost two days; he needed some time to regain his footing.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: I remember! You were going to elope with Shuichi Akai to that gas station on the east side!]
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Oh, right, right! There's video evidence. Back then, on the 11th, they were still singing, "With you, I'll accompany you through this mortal world, living a carefree and unrestrained life~"]
I don't know when, but the anti-fraud guy has put on an alpaca shell again, and is still flashing and spinning in front of him.
This familiar feeling of a heart attack...
Morofushi Kagemitsu finally had a comical sense of "coming home." He closed his eyes briefly before checking his body to make sure nothing had fallen off.
"Erica—Erica!"
During this time, the sound of names being called out from all directions in the crowd gradually came through.
He glanced instinctively at the little girl with the Mickey Mouse hair clip standing beside him, and found that she had actually started to respond: "Mommy! Mommy, I'm here—!"
Oh, so they're the child's parents...
[Anti-fraud expert #66: Based on facial feature comparison, they do look quite alike.]
A woman with reddish-brown hair came running towards them from the opposite direction, and the little girl ran in the same direction. The mother and daughter embraced in the middle of the road, a heartwarming scene of family reunion.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Okay, judging from the child's reaction, that woman doesn't seem like a child trafficker.]
Seeing this, Morobushi Kagemitsu was relieved and turned to walk towards the gas station without waiting for the mother and daughter to thank him.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: I saw it on the gas station's display screen: a red sports car drove out, and Shuichi Akai was in the driver's seat!]
A red sports car...that's certainly eye-catching.
He paused for a moment, then quickened his pace and turned the corner. Oh well, a sports car it is. Sometimes, going against the grain is the best disguise.
However, just then, a screeching sound of brakes came from behind him—
[Anti-Fraud Guru #205: Hurry up and get up the stairs!]
"bump!"
"ah--!"
Standing on the steps, Morofushi Kagemitsu saw a Mickey Mouse hair clip thrown to his feet, leaving a deep scar on his heart along with the blood on the ground.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #198: ...]
[Anti-Fraud King No. 148: Wait, if I remember correctly, in the previous radio program...]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: You're not mistaken. Didn't expect our first time travel to trigger such a causal replication...?]
Anti-fraud King's few words brought Morofushi Kagemitsu back to his senses. With his good memory, he immediately understood the meaning behind the previously vague words.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: Sigh, I can't really say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing...]
The little alpaca sighed thoughtfully, but Morofushi Kagemitsu couldn't sense any emotion from him.
His mood, which had initially brightened after successfully rescuing the Miyano sisters, turned cloudy again.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: The police are coming! Let's go! Getting entangled with them won't be good.]
Morofushi Kagemitsu touched the police friend card he had specially brought in his pocket, glanced one last time at the Mickey Mouse hair clip on the ground, and silently disappeared around the corner.
Turning around again, he emerged from the dark and narrow alleyway and immediately saw the gas station that the anti-fraud expert had mentioned.
A cool red sports car was parked on the side of the road, and even the ants passing by couldn't help but turn around to take a look.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #148: Um, this is indeed a bit too eye-catching...]
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 198: Not only is the car eye-catching, but the person is too...]
He glanced at the driver's seat.
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
He really hadn't expected that in just a short time, Shuichi Akai had changed his clothes. To be honest, he had never seen this man dressed so avant-garde before.
His dark blue jacket was adorned with sparkling rhinestones, and his smooth black hair was loosely tied back with a silver-gray headband. He also had a star-shaped earring in the same color on his left ear. Could it be that Miss Akemi helped him get it?
Shuichi Akai raised an eyebrow at Hiromitsu Morofushi, shook his car keys, and whistled. Several guys passing by even joined in the teasing.
Currently in a very sorry state, Morobuchi Kagemitsu: ? ? ?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Is this... a script rewritten?]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: Giving up the runaway couple act, now playing the domineering X gang has fallen in love with me?]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Get on board with confidence, the soundproofing is excellent!]
The alpacas said they could play even more creatively!
Shut up, you little devils!
Morofushi Kagemitsu felt a headache coming on, but seeing a USB drive hanging from the car keys in Akai Shuichi's hand, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get into the car under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.
Shuichi Akai smirked, started the car, stepped on the gas, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
After dealing with the people outside, the car became quiet. Akai Shuichi checked the traffic conditions on his phone and prepared to take out a cigarette to relax.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: No... he just remained completely silent?]
The little alpaca circled around Shuichi Akai again and again, trying to get an answer.
What do you want to hear him say? Doesn't everyone know that what happened just now was to mislead? Does it even need explaining?
[Anti-fraud expert #148: Sigh, there's not much room for our imagination left. So, after the innocent female lead gets on the bus, all she faces is silence?]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Well, we'll just have to work on it a bit more then...]
Add, process!
Zhu Fujingguang's heart skipped a beat. He remembered the "balance law" that the anti-fraud expert had mentioned before, and immediately realized that he was about to start another operation on the 19th.
Very good, he can already imagine what the posts will be like flying all over the forum in a few hours.
He wanted to stop him, but he didn't want to disrupt this delicate balance. He held back for a while, then turned his head to look at Shuichi Akai, who was now lost in thought.
Given this man's abilities, he should have noticed this strange trend in the forum much earlier. Was his action just now intentional?
Thinking of his childhood friend who had made the forum a daily check-in point, and the article he wrote two days ago on the 19th, "Leibo | I just want to be your only source of emotion," he felt that it was clearly these two men who were caught in the long-term controversy over their innocence!
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Jing! So you thought the same thing? Putting these two at odds together, even a passing street cleaner would want to see how they collect each other's corpses!]
Collecting a corpse? Is it really possible for such a friendly gesture to occur?
Morofushi Kagemitsu then looked at Akai Shuichi.
"What's wrong?"
The first corpse collector spoke.
Morofushi Kagemitsu calmly looked away and said, "I'm wondering how you got in touch with Sherry."
Shuichi Akai lit a cigarette and said, "If I were to go through the organization's internal channels, waiting a few more years probably wouldn't be enough. But, they sent me to the FBI, so what can I do?"
His words came out of nowhere, but Morobuchi Kagemitsu, who was well-versed in the intricacies of the system, understood them.
The leader has lost all sense of humanity again.
Perhaps he should be thankful that Shuichi Akai's superiors hadn't sold the identities of the double agents to the organization. However, if such a thing were to happen someday, he wouldn't mind avenging this partner who suited him so well.
Morofushi Kagemitsu changed the subject, asking, "What's the progress on that ICPO case you mentioned before?"
Shuichi Akai glanced at him and said, "I applied to access the files through the FBI, but I'll have to wait a bit longer."
[Anti-fraud expert #205: From their perspective, only a day or two has passed since this happened; it certainly doesn't seem that fast.]
Zhu Fujingguang moved his fingers, smiled and said, "I've been thinking about those things, and I always feel that there is some connection between them. I always want more cases to verify my ideas."
“…Contact.” Shuichi Akai repeated the word, then gestured with his chin toward the row of detached villas in front of him and said, “She mentioned the word to me too.”
It seems that Shiho Miyano is indeed here.
Shuichi Akai parked the car in the garage behind a villa and led Hiromitsu Morofushi through a small door in the garage, all the way to the basement.
There was a separate access control at the entrance to the basement. Having witnessed the scale of this place at Professor Agasa's house, Morofushi Kagemitsu realized that this was probably a research lab.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: I mean... what's wrong with you researchers? Why do you like doing this in the basement so much? It's bad feng shui.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #198: What's wrong with our researchers? What's wrong with the basement environment? It's quiet and secluded, perfect for thinking.]
...No, Shiho Miyano's actions were clearly for the sake of secrecy. If she had a choice, she probably wouldn't want to work in such a dark and gloomy environment either.
Morofushi Kagemitsu thought of the little girl who didn't want to fit in when she first arrived at Base 3. Now that she's grown up a bit, she probably still feels out of place.
