Chapter 171 Artistic embellishment need not be a concern…
Morofushi Kagemitsu had no interest in becoming the focus of the forum again; he didn't want the forum to die.
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 66: The organization is going through a turbulent period recently, and many people don't want to get involved in any trouble. At this juncture, drawing attention to the Electronic God Cult is certainly not a wise choice.]
Not only not now, but not in the future either. That guy Brandy is still lurking in the open. I can't rest easy until I get rid of him.
Until this matter is resolved, there's no need to be too active on the forum, lest we alert the enemy.
Morofushi Kagemitsu made himself a cup of coffee, intending to use this incident to subtly relinquish his future share of gossip to others.
[Anti-Fraud King #198: It depends on the organization. For someone like you, maintaining a certain level of public discussion is better. The greater your influence and presence within the distillery, the easier it is to generate missions related to the distillery.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #205: That's right. Although we now have support from #234, we still don't have enough energy. So, don't complain about the size of the mission. After this period of keeping a low profile, we still need to do some small missions to build up our resources.]
Morofushi Kagemitsu, who originally thought he could use this opportunity to extricate himself from gossip-related matters: ...
He didn't want to either, but the other party gave him too much.
It's just a mission, right? Go for it if you have the energy!
He's tired of saying that life is more important.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Perfect timing! Mr. Jin Quan sent an email. Looks like he didn't sleep a wink last night; he's at least halfway through organizing the intelligence you provided.]
Upon hearing this, Morofushi Kagemitsu casually took a sip of coffee to refresh himself, then turned around and went back to his work.
Mr. Jin Quan provided the information very promptly. After learning about the situation in Paloma, he knew it was urgent and took decisive action.
After reviewing the movements of the police officers, he immediately contacted his superiors by phone. Explaining the situation, he postponed Paloma's Nth interrogation to the following day, isolated those suspected of being the mole, and prevented them from accessing intelligence about the organization's members. He did everything he could to keep them from knowing that Paloma was still alive and in police custody.
Seeing this, Morofushi Kagemitsu knew that it wouldn't be long before the mole was caught.
He continued reading, and Mr. Jin Quan didn't mention much about the Karasuma Group being the organization's backer, only a few words. It mainly consisted of statements like, "Since it involves a well-known financial group, we need to verify the situation first; the police will carefully consider our case."
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: What does he mean by that? Is he trying to stall you from investigating? Has the Karasuma Group become so powerful that it can intimidate the police?]
Yes and no.
He was mentally prepared when he submitted the intelligence, and he expected to receive such a response.
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 11: It's normal for the police to react this way. Do you remember the combination lock we found during the park incident? Even a simple combination lock could trigger a mission that could be fatal for us, let alone this case involving such a far-reaching conglomerate.]
[Anti-fraud expert #148: I estimate this intelligence will likely be held by Mr. Jin Quan for a while, during which time he'll probably be maneuvering with some forces whose interests are opposed to or unrelated to the Karasuma Group. However, fortunately, the Public Security Bureau has all sorts of people, so this process might be faster.]
[Anti-Fraud King #214: It seems that from now on it won't just be a matter of difficulty in obtaining intelligence. Fortunately, Mr. Jin Quan himself has some influence, at least the intelligence we obtained after all that trouble hasn't been buried, which is already quite good.]
[Anti-Fraud King No. 205: In previous future projections, within the 8.27% chance of the future, this intelligence would have been held back for three to four years, or even completely scrapped. From a certain perspective, the fact that it has been carefully adopted at present is a victory for us.]
Morobuchi Kagemitsu nodded and casually opened the previous interrogation records of Paloma attached to the email.
He reviewed it carefully. Because the Public Security Bureau lacked information about Professor Natori and her daughter at that time, it was difficult to obtain information such as the existence of a hacker behind Paloma. Therefore, the intelligence they obtained was only about certain organizations.
However, this kind of superficial intelligence is no longer of much value to the police. If Paloma wants to struggle against the police, she'll probably have to give up on Mr. Hacker and the fake death drug she obtained.
He began to wonder when would be the right time to bring the hacker behind her back if the police couldn't find him. Should he involve Black Guest and deepen their cooperation with the police at this juncture?
[Anti-fraud expert #198: We have no objections. You can contact the police through the pseudonym #19.]
Yes, there's a middleman between the police and Black Guest, so there's no need to make up an excuse to mention the website.
He thought about it carefully again and decided that since this image was already tied to the organization and he had revealed his identity to the Natori father and daughter, it wouldn't be good to get involved with any other organizations. Therefore, exposing the No. 19 alias, which was closely connected to Black Guest, would be a huge loss. If the police really couldn't find the hacker, he could just report the Natori father and daughter himself.
Having made his decision, he replied to Mr. Jin Quan's email, then opened a new document and grouped the intelligence he had compiled the day before, intending to determine his future itinerary based on the direction of this intelligence.
Now that his biggest worry—the mole—has been temporarily contained and will be handled by reliable people, he no longer needs to worry about it. As for future intelligence gathering, it will definitely be related to the organization's final experiment, but he still needs to ensure that the intelligence he obtains during this period is safely stored within the Public Security Bureau.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: Jing, now is the time for us to find out about the internal meetings of the Public Security Bureau.]
Go ahead, the police's secret vault has long been your backyard, and I can't stop you.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: Besides the confidential vault, we also plan to investigate the whereabouts of those high-ranking officials. Just letting you know in advance.]
Go ahead and investigate... You know why we didn't let you investigate other intelligence agencies too much back then. Now that we're on home soil, and it's all about overthrowing the organization, you can investigate whatever you want.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: You see, I told you Jing would agree.]
The little alpaca, number 19, finally floated out of the computer screen and pointed at the other friends who were still inside electronic devices.
Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't pay attention to their little actions. After arranging his schedule, and seeing that Mello hadn't contacted him yet, he planned to go into seclusion for a few days under the pretense of preparing for his role, but in reality, he planned to secretly go to Tottori.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Um, although we do need to go to that place, I'm a little worried that this time we'll have the same bad luck as last time, like we've been cursed by the heavens...]
We still have to go. We've made a lot of progress and learned a lot of secrets, so it shouldn't be as serious as last time.
Number 66 also popped out of the screen and pointed to the lucky charm hanging above his bed.
[Anti-fraud expert #66: How about this, before we get on the bus, let's go to a shrine and get a good luck charm for us.]
...Don't tell me you're going to bring those things from last night over too.
[Anti-fraud expert #66: It's not that bad. I didn't tell you to bring them all. Just get one or two for self-defense.]
You actually thought that way?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: As our experiment yesterday proved, some mystical items that can trigger special magnetic fields can indeed have some effect.]
Number 66 was muttering incantations, and the "ritual of deliverance" that was half successful gave him immense confidence.
Morofushi Kagemitsu remained silent due to the effects of the feudal superstition he had observed the previous night.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Don't forget, there's still your coffin at the Tottori branch. Aren't you curious about it?]
I remember you said that I didn't need to know too much about the coffin.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #205: Once we arrive at the location, skirting the edge of the energy fluctuations, we can tell you a few things, if necessary. You know, we have extensive experience in circumventing these kinds of scams.]
...Alright, I'll bring it. I can use the identity of fortune teller No. 66 as a cover. What's this shell called again?
[Anti-fraud expert #66: Matsuno Riku, your driver's license and other identification documents are all in the drawer.]
Morofushi Kagemitsu took out his phone to book a ticket, thinking it would be best to book it after lunch, so that if anything unexpected happened, he would at least have some energy to deal with it.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #205: Hehe, I just snagged a discounted ticket for 1:30 PM. You still have time to leisurely enjoy lunch.]
Well done, number 205!
Zhu Fujingguang praised it.
It wasn't because he suddenly wanted to save money for the organization; it was simply because this was his own secret trip, and he would be spending his own money, so of course he wanted to save some.
[Anti-fraud expert #234: I can recommend a hotel with good value for money.]
That would be even better.
He readily agreed.
……Wait.
He quickly tried to figure out which anti-fraud officer had just spoken to him.
[Anti-fraud reporter #26: #234! You finally contacted us! How are you doing over there?]
[Anti-fraud King #234: It's me. I've spent a lot of time these past few days, but I've finally calmed Matsuda and the others down. It's about Zero; to prevent him from thinking about time travel, I...artistically altered some facts.]
Number 234 first told them the important things.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Just hoping you can get away with this is good enough. You're dealing with a super-powerful Zero Lord! Um... please send me a compressed file containing the artistic embellishments, thank you.]
...Please send me a copy as well, thank you.
His heart skipped a beat when he heard the word, and he quickly asked for a copy of the tutoring materials.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #234: Okay, sure... Um, I've discovered a new feature here, do you want to try it out?]
Before Morofushi Kagemitsu could respond to this obvious change of topic, his left eye began to show a completely different view from his right eye:
Zero is serving him food with a tray:
"Here is your dipping sauce, please use it."
