Chapter 172 "The Heavenly Gang Has Reversed..."
Although the scene only appeared for a brief moment, it was enough for Morofushi Kagemitsu to see it clearly.
He was startled and quickly realized what was happening in front of him.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #234: That's right, it's an improved version of shared vision. Probably because I'm in two different timelines, after discovering that communicating with you across time was seamless, I tried this trick. After struggling with it all night, I finally succeeded.]
I've been messing around all night...
Morofushi Kagemitsu thought about his nightmare and wondered if it was because Number 234 was moving his corpse around the coffin and he could sense it.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #234: Probably. You even accidentally attracted a shadowy figure during this time. Luckily, you consciously left in time, otherwise it might have followed the connection between us and come looking for you.]
[Anti-Fraud King #214: That was close! If I use this ability again, will it summon the shadowy figure again?]
This concern wasn't limited to No. 214; other anti-fraud officers also considered it, popping out of their screens and patrolling the surroundings with great vigilance.
[Anti-Fraud King #234: If it were still that dangerous, I wouldn't have tried to connect just now. I simulated the spatial fluctuations caused each time you crossed over; because we have the tacit permission of fate, it won't attract the shadowy figures.]
acquiescence?
I thought time travel was forbidden by fate, after all, I benefited from it and influenced most of the course of this world.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: It's probably because your destiny hasn't reached its turning point yet, and these things affected by the butterfly effect will evolve back to their desired state after your death.]
...That makes sense.
He recalled the scenes he witnessed when he traveled to the future. Regardless of his intervention, it seemed he was unable to stop the organization's progress and the little detectives' probing and in-depth exploration of the organization.
[Anti-Fraud Expert #234: So you can relax a little. The fact that the anti-fraud app dares to do this means it won't silence you for going too far against the rules.]
He nodded, glanced around, and prepared to quickly pack up the things he had brought to Tottori.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: But does that mean we can get information about the future without time travel? That's much safer than going directly to the future.]
[Anti-fraud expert #205: It's indeed a very useful skill, but I imagine it must consume a lot of energy.]
[Anti-Fraud King #234: That's quite a lot, otherwise the footage would have continued for a while longer. I'm contacting you now to borrow some energy. However, as long as the continuous footage doesn't exceed one day, it will consume less energy than you would have to travel here yourself.]
[Anti-fraud expert #198: That's quite a good deal. Okay, we haven't used the energy cans you left behind. #205 will disguise this energy as a data stream and send it to you.]
[Anti-fraud expert #234: OK, it's being received.]
After Zhu Fujingguang saw that they had finished their discussion and asked some questions about sharing vision, he finally confirmed with them the timing for future vision sharing. They didn't have enough energy right now, so they should use it sparingly.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #234: By the way, the demonstration was short, and I only focused on one of your eyes. But if we share our field of vision in the future, generally, the eye that sees the future image will only be able to see the scene on my side, and depending on the length of the sharing time, your vision will be temporarily deprived.]
It's nothing, it's just a temporary loss of sight, not that you'll never see again.
However, could you do it like before and only place it on one eye? That way, besides saving energy, it wouldn't affect my daily life.
[Anti-fraud expert #234: Okay, I knew you'd bring this up.]
[Anti-Fraud Guy #66: ...Ugh, another debuff is about to stack on me, and we're heading to Tottori soon... Are you sure we won't run into your childhood friend there again?]
I contacted him yesterday evening. He's currently on a mission in Kyoto and won't be back for a while. It's unlikely that the person I spoke to last time was at an airport in a foreign country, and then I woke up to find he was back in China.
[...]
The anti-fraud officers, like little bees in sheep's clothing, flew around the room, pretending not to hear Morofushi Kagemitsu's teasing of them.
The 26th alpaca stopped next to the sunglasses that were casually placed on the cabinet, and suddenly had an idea.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: By the way, Jing, how about you take this opportunity to cosplay as Rum?]
...Rum? Why would I impersonate him? It would be easy for him to be exposed.
Number 66 turned to look at Number 26 and smiled speechlessly.
[Anti-fraud expert #66: He's just teasing you, Jing. Because #234 said he'd temporarily take away your sight in one eye, which connects to the rumored image of Rum, doesn't it?]
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
Rum's image... thanks to you little devils, in my eyes he's either bald or has eyeliner, and his most symbolic one eye has become the least noticeable one.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: Ahem, just to correct you, Rum really doesn't wear eyeliner.]
Yes, I know, he usually arranges it for himself secretly.
He subconsciously picked up on the joke, and opened the wardrobe. He heard the 26th and they laughed out loud, his mind racing with thoughts of this trip.
Since he was setting up his trip with the persona of a fortune teller, he didn't need to bring those cumbersome suits. So, he took out two very ordinary casual outfits from his wardrobe and put them into a small suitcase.
He was preoccupied with various matters and didn't seem to notice that the anti-fraud team had quietly gathered together behind his back, whispering amongst themselves, and he couldn't tell what they were saying.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #214: Did he not notice?]
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Logically speaking, if he didn't ask further, then there shouldn't be any issues. However, Jing is always perceptive, so it's possible he simply didn't want to pursue the matter.]
[Anti-fraud expert #11: Now that #234 has gone back, even if he still wants to pursue the matter, he won't be able to find him anytime soon.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: He's gone, so he's safe now, but it's piqued my curiosity. I really want to know!]
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Who isn't? I've been wanting to ask #234 for a while now, what exactly did he artistically embellish? I want to hear a poignant love story!]
"I'm so sorry, my life is too mundane, without many dramatic ups and downs."
[Anti-fraud expert #26: It's nothing, it's nothing, we were just curious... Eek!]
The huddled alpacas froze in mid-air, too afraid to look at the person who had spoken, and could only stare at the shadow he cast, trembling with fear.
Why didn't anyone tell them that Jingguang suddenly appeared?! They even arranged for the most reliable guard, number 205, to be on duty!
Number 66 kept sending private information to Number 205, but they didn't reply. We don't know what kind of bug it is.
"It's not a bug, it's just a little discovery I made." Morofushi Kagemitsu's voice was still so gentle, and he patiently explained to them, "Because I discovered that you can read my inner thoughts, I've been thinking about whether I could use this special connection to sense your data fluctuations as well. I didn't expect to succeed after just one try."
[Anti-Fraud Guru #148: Haha, Jing, you really are a gifted individual...!]
Thankfully, the appearance of number 234 provided me with some inspiration. This is probably the positive buff after encountering a slice of my own consciousness.
Number 205 finally floated over, and under the resentful gazes of many alpacas, it burrowed back into the computer.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #205: Hmm, it's a good thing that Jing sensed our thoughts. It'll make reading information much faster when we search for it in the future.]
Yes, if he writes something great on the 19th, I'll be able to read it before the rest of the forum.
On the 19th, someone tearfully loaded a soul-spitting effect, and on the 26th, the reaction was even more intense, with someone directly creating a lightning strike effect for themselves.
The two alpacas' performance made Morofushi Kagemitsu unable to suppress his laughter. After giving each of them a light flick on the forehead, he stopped teasing them.
He put on an ordinary blue hoodie, put his computer into a small suitcase filled with many mystical props, and casually hid some protective items on his person before heading out.
To fit his identity, he chose to take the subway to the Shinkansen station, grab a quick bite near the station, and then board the train.
Oh, right, it would be best to scan the train beforehand to see if there are any bombs buried on it, or if it's hiding any smuggled weapons or drugs. He doesn't want to go through another thrilling journey.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: We can't guarantee against the latter two things, but there shouldn't be a bomb. Also, I noticed that Matsuda and Hagiwara are both working overtime today, so it shouldn't affect us.]
When did criminals become so considerate of the police? Do they even practice off-peak crime?
[Anti-fraud expert #66: No, not at all. But you can rest assured. Before we got on the bus, I did a divination, and it seems that as long as we stay away from cats on this trip, nothing serious will happen.]
Cat? What does that mean?
[Anti-fraud expert #66: That's what the divination says. It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not. So, let's...]
Meow~
And just like that, a sticky, sweet meow came out.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Ahhh! Kitty, what are you doing popping out at this time?!]
The number 26 emitted a sharp, explosive sound, which also startled Morofushi Kagemitsu.
As a calm human, Morofushi Kagemitsu turned his head to look at the source of the sound and found that the bald man with a fierce expression sitting next to him was watching short videos of cats.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: ...Thank goodness it was just a video, it scared me to death. Touching a cat through a screen like this shouldn't count as... right?]
[Anti-fraud expert #66: Of course not = = It's something that could be easily figured out with a scan, why are you making such a fuss? Calm down, #26.]
that is.
"Meow!"
