Chapter 44 There were five people, three of whom died in the community.
Whether it's Mickey Mouse or a white mouse, they can't escape Meme, a cat whose thoughts have transcended to the universe.
After Yul saw the organization member in front of him give him a sinister sneer and chose to flee quickly, Morofushi Kagemitsu easily turned around and completed the operation of tipping him off.
This "tip-off" doesn't refer to the exchange of intelligence between him and Zero, but rather to revealing some information to Ray and the others without revealing his identity.
He had the anti-fraud officer adjust his face cream settings, then pulled a blonde wig from the trunk and put on the same baseball cap as Zero before getting out of the car. After circling around in front of this rookie agent, the news would naturally spread to foreign spy circles.
As for what kind of scenario they would come up with, that was beyond his control. Therefore, he needed to make a call to Ray to show his sincerity.
Before the call, he asked number 205 to help him compose a text message, and he also made a point of checking the time.
"Ray, is Bourbon still with you?"
Ray glanced at Esther, who was still lying in the hospital bed, and said, "He passed away half an hour ago."
Morofushi Kagemitsu chuckled and said, "That's quite a coincidence. I ran into him at that hamburger shop in Ginza. It seems he's been hiding a lot from us."
Lei was silent for only two seconds before asking, "For example?"
“For example, it seems he’s already met with Uzo beforehand.” Morofushi Kagemitsu continued, watching the anti-fraud guy edit a text message for Zero based on his script. “I’m a little suspicious; could he be setting some kind of trap for us?”
Having been targeted by Bourbon for some time, Ray readily accepted this explanation, and recalling the seemingly organized nature of Esther's car accident, he said, "That certainly sounds like something he would do."
Morofushi Kagemitsu said in a relaxed tone, "I also saw that this guy has endless ways of playing pranks, so I don't want to be targeted by him. In short, let's all be careful."
"I understand, thank you."
This way, Lei's side won't act rashly.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: The text message to Furuya-kun has been sent.]
[Anti-Fraud King #19: Childhood friends are definitely different; they said everything except for our presence.]
[Anti-fraud expert #66: Furuya-kun also responded with a "^-^" in a very cooperative manner.]
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Ray's text message has arrived too: Mingmei told me that Melo had contacted her, asking if she wanted Sherry to return to Japan.]
Did Melo also go to see Sherry?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: I didn't expect such an unexpected bonus!]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: Why is she targeting the research department again? Wasn't she after the brandy scandal?]
Brandy……
Yes, she had made it clear before coming to Kyoto that she wanted the authority to approve laboratories from Brandy. Considering her contact with Akemi Miyano, it seems she wanted a relatively independent laboratory, with researchers holding significant influence.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: Wow, this woman, it's a good thing you're on her side.]
This is hardly good...
Zhu Fujingguang sighed inwardly.
A mentally ill person is not hard to fool, but a mentally ill person with a brain is not easy to deal with at all.
With this conflicted feeling, Morofushi Kagemitsu drove to 21 Kashiwaren-dairo, where Zero was already waiting for them in the lobby.
Their eyes met, and no words were needed between them. They simply nodded subtly, and everything was understood without being spoken.
The two then entered the main exhibition hall.
This time, Morofushi Kagemitsu saw the amazing machine described in the report. This thing looked even more inconspicuous than described in the article. If Kaneki Jin hadn't specifically pointed it out, it would probably have blended into its surroundings.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: This device is really powerful; we can't even get into its system!]
...Is it really that hard to break through? Could it be that the organization actually developed this thing on a whim to test whether their members were spies? What makes them so special?
And how come Kyoto still has money in its accounts for this? It seems he's a bad accountant.
[Anti-fraud expert #66: I've looked at this more than once, and it's clearly just old furniture that's been repurposed with a fancy coat of paint. Why would anyone do that?]
Is it a technique that disguises itself as a home appliance before unleashing its ultimate move? This must be what they call returning to simplicity.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: ...I get it now! No wonder I couldn't get in; the power circuit on the side wasn't even connected! It wasn't even turned on, how could I possibly get in?!]
...Well, okay, it seems I was overthinking it.
Fortunately, at least we can confirm that the organization is really out of money, otherwise they wouldn't be using this piece of junk to fool people.
No sooner had Morofushi Kagemitsu breathed a sigh of relief than Rae arrived.
Of course, Bourbon couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks about him being "late."
Jin Chuanren, standing to the side, did not participate in their interaction but instead observed silently.
However, further observation is pointless this time. I will protect our identities!
Perhaps because they hadn't said anything outrageous, the invitations they had painstakingly obtained, as reported in the news, were now being delivered directly to them by Jin Chuanren, who said:
"Rumi Ikeuchi watched the recording of your three performances and sent you the invitations right away. I told you, connections do have an effect."
Bourbon didn't comment on this, picked up the invitation, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Oh? This is the top floor of their furniture club, right? Is it appropriate to invite people like us who have never even met them?"
“Of course there will be security.” Jin Chuanren winked at them. “Vodka and I will be there too.”
Got it, you've all bribed them.
In that case, the police should keep a closer eye on things. Just in case, a covert investigation of the site is essential.
His eyes met Zero's again; clearly, they were thinking of the same thing again.
"Alright, that's all for today." Jin Chuanren shrugged and said, "Go back and get ready for the party!"
Judging from his tone, it really sounds like he's going to a party... Actually, that so-called important information probably doesn't even exist.
Back at their lodgings, both Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei were suspicious, as the whole affair seemed rather strange from beginning to end.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: Then you guys need to make the act complete! Hurry up and change your clothes! I want to see some "emo" style!]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: The delivery guy will be here in 40 seconds! Xiao Jingzi, Xiao Lingzi, hurry up and go out to meet him!]
What are you all so excited about?! There's no "emo" style here, just some props to disguise ourselves as band members.
Morobuchi Kagemitsu rummaged through the delivery boxes and began to check them against the shopping list:
Capo, strap, picks, strings, guitar oil, super glue, and also a scope, Swiss Army knife, *** reagent... Okay, that's almost it.
Wait, is there something strange mixed in?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #148: It was all the three of you who smuggled in your own agendas, what's so surprising?]
Smuggling in personal agendas?
...Anyway, I'm definitely not that kind of unreliable person.
Facing the colorful dance floor, Morofushi Kagemitsu cast an unfriendly glance at Kanekawa Jin, who was drinking and DJing. Next to him, Vodka was squatting happily in front of the large LCD TV watching a beautiful girl dance to otaku music.
Jin Chuanren, how exactly do you conduct intelligence work?! Is this the attitude you expect? And have you forgotten all the boasts you made before you came?!
"She wouldn't possibly leave out three handsome and charming men like you to choose a short, ugly, and poor guitar virtuoso, would she?"
She really knows how!
Rumi Ikeuchi is indeed an unconventional woman.
She was showing off her skills with a guitar virtuoso in the center of the stage!
She really loves playing rock music, not handsome guys! Now she's like a mentor on Whiskey 101, testing their skills one by one! Haha, all those little odds and ends they bought online are completely useless.
Anti-fraud expert #214: This is what they call a poor student with too much stationery, I get it.
[Anti-Fraud King #26: You're doomed, you're not getting a chance to debut this time.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: It's okay, we can help you cheat, but Bourbon and Rye will have to rely on themselves.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: It's okay, Scotland can just debut as the center!]
……you!
Morofushi Kagemitsu was getting impatient and was about to suggest, "Why don't we just slip away?" when Bourbon and Rae made eye contact.
Morofushi Kagemitsu: ...Oh no!
It looks like things won't end well tonight...
Lai and Bourbon stood on either side, their eyes burning with intense passion. In the chaotic and noisy environment, they somehow created an atmosphere of excitement, as if a boss battle was about to begin.
Wake up, you two band newbies!
"Bang! Bang!"
A firework exploded in the night sky behind them, but it couldn't wake the people who were pretending to be asleep, nor could it shake the stubbornness of these two who no longer cared about dying.
Even Jin Chuanren and Vodka, who were watching the commotion from the sidelines, started to cheer.
...Now that things have come to this, Anti-Fraud Master! Go!
[Recording mode is enabled; current video quality is 4K ultra-high definition.]
Anyway, he had tried to persuade them all, and since they wouldn't listen, he could only leave behind this precious video of "Early Domestication of Humans by Musical Instruments".
There was no bloodshed, no panic, just a beautiful yet absurd night.
absurd……
That's really absurd.
Morofushi Kagemitsu opened the shared folder in the group chat, followed the steps to save the images, mirror the contents, and rotate them 180 degrees, blankly reading through the pile of encrypted files named "Read and Burn".
Hehe, this group's creative content is no longer limited to 1v1v1, they've started [beep beep beep] now.
Huh? What's going on?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: Please use polite language, or you'll get a bunch of profanities~]
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 66: The first rule of civilized internet use: Don't create, believe, or spread rumors!]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Think for three seconds before forwarding to prevent rumors from spreading!]
How dare you tell me this?! Especially you, Number 19! Don't think I don't know that you were the one who wrote "Rebirth: Lost and Found" behind the scenes.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Ah... you found out so quickly? I was so careful in selecting the scenes and details...]
You can't hide your AI vibe no matter what!
-----------------------
Author's note: I originally intended to kill off the people of Jinchuan, but then I remembered a meme and decided against it.
Vodka: Brother, Jin Chuan has been in the interrogation room for three days now.
Gin: Does he realize he was wrong?
Vodka: No, he died on the first day.
