Chapter 157 Welcome to visit again
However, even the most meticulous person cannot escape the power of coincidence.
Morofushi Kagemitsu tilted his head to avoid a piece of glass that had been shattered by a blunder, and reloaded his pistol. After reloading, the car veered sideways and flew across the narrow bridge in an exaggerated manner.
"Bang!"
"Smack!"
The rearview mirrors on both sides of the car were deliberately shot off. The people behind him wanted to block his way with guns and bullets and interfere with his judgment, but the presence of Anti-Fraud Guru made him not need to worry about so much.
[Anti-fraud expert #66: We just had two cars driven back by Jing, and they've already sent more. Looks like they genuinely want to bring you back. #205, have you found out why?]
[Anti-Fraud Agent No. 205: According to IP tracking analysis, it seems an intelligence team member in Tokyo reported the death of Shunsuke Goto. Coincidentally, this intelligence update coincides with our research here.]
Looking in the last rearview mirror, Moribushi Kagemitsu saw that as the car made a sharp turn, it punctured the tire of the lead car that had finally caught up.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: That's strange. Shunsuke Goto is as dead as can be; there's no way he could come back to life. We've reviewed the surveillance footage near the body disposal site multiple times; not only were there no vehicles passing by, but there weren't even any signs of tampering.]
He raised his hand and also turned off the surveillance camera at the tunnel entrance.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Could it be that the real culprit who wanted to poison someone has discovered something amiss?]
The tunnel was dimly lit, and the pursuing vehicles gradually stopped aiming and fell silent for a while, no one knew what kind of bad scheme they were brewing.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: But judging from his movements these past few days, he doesn't seem to know anything inside.]
This was the first time the anti-fraud team had encountered such a situation, and they were quite puzzled. They searched through surveillance footage from various locations but couldn't find anything amiss.
Morofushi Kagemitsu couldn't understand who would be waiting for new information outside of the organization's intelligence network update period, and how they could have so conveniently notified Goto Shunsuke's secretariat. The efficiency was far too fast, and it didn't seem like the reaction of members who hadn't received special training.
He glanced at the time and knew they couldn't delay any longer. They would put this matter aside for now and shake them off as soon as possible before they exited the next tunnel.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: That's easy to say. Our luck isn't always this bad, at least we drove the right car this time. Otherwise, those other beat-up cars probably wouldn't have been able to withstand our rough handling.]
Morobuchi Kagemitsu glanced around the car, looked at the amulet hanging on the rearview mirror, and pulled it down.
"Thump~"
The barely noticeable echo did not escape his ears. His internal warning of "accelerate!" was caught by the anti-fraud expert, who immediately floored the accelerator.
The modified engine was very powerful, and the connection device was also quite sensitive. The car suddenly accelerated and lurched forward a lot.
"boom!"
For the latter half of the vehicle, the impact of the explosion's flames and heatwave was unavoidable, and the car could only watch as the force propelled it forward. Fortunately, the car was coated with a special paint, preventing it from catching fire again.
"Cough cough..."
The smoke and dust choked Morofushi Kagemitsu, but he realized this was an opportunity to quickly shake off his opponent. He immediately instructed Anti-Fraud to merge onto the highway along Route 2 and, before the smoke and dust were dispersed by the north wind, to use mimicry data to cover the car's exterior, giving this invincible vehicle a "disguise".
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Barely acceptable. Consider this layer of paint a "face mask."]
After this series of maneuvers was completed, the few cars that had barely managed to catch up to the highway entrance could only stare blankly at the completely unfamiliar traffic, their faces pale as they reported that they had lost track of their pursuer.
After repeatedly confirming that there would be no more pursuers, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Anti-Fraud King both breathed a sigh of relief.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Is this some kind of thrill?! We've only been here for less than two days, and it already feels like we've stepped into some kind of racing game. Are there going to be a third or fourth round?!]
[Anti-fraud King No. 148: If you designed a proficiency progress bar for me, I feel like I could perform a Hagi-gami-possessed act...]
If it weren't for conserving energy, I feel like number 148 could have even created a soul-spitting special effect on the spot.
But don't rush to criticize, let's set up our script and stage first!
Do not change lanes ahead. Exit the highway and go directly to Beihu Central Hospital.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: Isn't there a bit of a rush? Those kids and Zero haven't even headed to the hospital yet. Why don't you fix the car first, then go to the hospital? That way you can save some energy.]
It's possible, but to be on the safe side, let's go to the hospital and hide the body first. Who knows if that kind of "coincidence" might happen again?
[Anti-fraud expert #11: That's true... So many unexpected things have happened so far, I have a bad feeling... (Ugh!)]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #198: Shut up! Your jinxed nature is like a bug that just won't be fixed!]
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
He brushed his wind-blown hair aside, the drafty car window forcing him to confront his reality.
The organization reacted too quickly, rendering Goto Shunsuke's identity useless before he could even get used to it, forcing him to switch to Midorikawa Osamu's side. After getting off near the hospital, I'll need to find a small repair shop to get the car fixed up…
He tucked the gun back into his waistband, rubbed his temples wearily, and wondered what else he needed to handle.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: Butler Hase is still at Shunsuke Goto's villa.]
...This is not a big deal.
Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly came up with a plan.
Now that Anti-Fraud King has gained control of it, let's just make it disappear quietly from our villa. Hmm... and that maid too, or maybe we should find them an inconspicuous apartment to hide them away in.
Then, thinking about the possible factors related to neurons and magnetic fields that the butler Hase might be involved in, he silently added another clause: "No haunted houses."
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Wait, didn't we say we'd do a stand-up comedy routine later? Why are you doing it now?!]
? ! !
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Do you know how difficult it is to find a house in Mihua that hasn't been the site of a murder...?]
Morobuchi Kagemitsu fell silent, recalling the bullish crime rate.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #148: Pfft!]
...Drive carefully, the traffic police have heard the commotion and are on their way!
"...Perhaps we can get the traffic department to issue him a ticket, which would allow us to have more contact with him."
Rei Furuya and Wataru Date were still whispering and discussing something.
Date Wataru carefully recalled the details of his meeting with those two people at the hospital that day, adding, "I remember that Goto Shunsuke's butler also came that day, saying that the maid had escaped, and he seemed determined to get to the bottom of it. But until now, they haven't contacted us, and they're not answering the phone either."
After he finished speaking, he showed the call log page of his phone, which showed the record of his call to the results manager, with the words "Not connected (2)" in red.
...This now sounds more like collusion.
Did Shunsuke Goto get advance notice?
Rei Furuya grabbed a napkin to wipe another glass, his mind racing through details of any potential leaks before and after he received the mission. Perhaps he could use this information leak to frame another key member of the intelligence team, inciting them to fight amongst themselves…
Seeing his friend's increasingly sinister expression, Date Wataru said softly, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If Goshima Shunsuke really survives, he might harbor resentment towards the organization, which would be to our advantage."
Rei Furuya nodded slowly, but was still lost in his own thoughts and plans.
Seeing how tense he always was, Date Kou said something to lighten the mood: "Our number one player won't expose our whereabouts, will they?"
"No." Furuya Rei glanced in the direction of the kitchen, his tone unreadable. "The signal jammer he gave me before, I've always kept it on."
Ida Kou really wanted to take back what he had said earlier.
He cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly, and hearing the commotion coming from Enomoto Azusa in the kitchen, he said in a low voice, "Relax, we're going to see [him] tonight."
Then, he smiled at Enomoto Azusa, who had just appeared, and left with the takeout box in his arms.
Rei Furuya revealed a smile that was almost like Tooru Amuro's professional demeanor:
Welcome back next time!
There won't be a next time.
There won't be any more.
Morofushi Kagemitsu hung the amulet back in the car and dealt with the small repair shop owner who wanted to double-cross him, all while maintaining Midorikawa Osamu's stern face.
Looking at the other repair shops on the map, which were quite far away, he even considered just destroying the car.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: Aren't you going to try and salvage it? Actually, we could briefly attach ourselves to those robotic arms to work, but that unscrupulous boss damaged it when you two were fighting.]
Morofushi Kagemitsu slashed the boss's neck again.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: Um, how about... we call Butler Hasegawa over?]
...Why did you call him over? To help plant explosives?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: Of course, the car needs to be dealt with. The built-in logic processing level is quite high. Even you didn't know, so how could you tell from your behavior and language, right?]
A small blue figure has appeared on the map, indicating that they are indeed not far away.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Don't worry, even if things get really bad, we're here to keep an eye on him. Change your clothes and head to the hospital quickly.]
That's fine.
Morofushi Kagemitsu abandoned his plan to blow up the car.
He glanced at his suit and was about to go to a small clothing store on the street to buy a new outfit when he stopped in his tracks just as he stepped out of the repair shop.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #148: What's wrong, Jing?]
He stopped at the trunk with a somewhat subtle expression, opened the car door, and pulled out a hoodie and tracksuit from the innermost folding laundry basket.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Huh? There was a surprise in this little trunk!]
He shook out his clothes and quickly changed.
I thought to myself, there might be more surprises than just this one.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: ...What do you mean?]
It's nothing, but it's not very useful now.
By the way, the company must have records of 'Shunsuke Goshima' borrowing documents, right?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #198: Yes, we originally wanted to delete it. But considering there's no need to prematurely reveal our technological capabilities, we left the record.]
That's perfect, we can use this to divert trouble elsewhere.
