Chapter 77 How could I be so unlucky?
Morofushi Kagemitsu sat back down at the police station and cooperated with the police to give another statement. By this time, his mind was completely at peace.
“…That’s all. Thank you, Mr. Asakawa.” Officer Umeda finished taking the statement and said politely, “If you don’t mind, could you leave your contact information? That way, you can contact us immediately if you remember any useful clues later.”
Morofushi Kagemitsu sighed silently, nodded, and left Asakawa Sora's backup phone number. In return, Officer Umeda handed over her personal number.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: The moment I left this phone number, I had a bad feeling. Is this some kind of fate?]
Will this kind of traction be able to pull the bus over faster?
[Anti-fraud expert #205: That's a bit slow with the towing. The train will arrive at the station in 55 seconds; we're already going to miss it.]
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
How could this be?!
Am I really that unlucky today? I'm starting to doubt it. If we have to wait another 15 minutes for the bus, I'm afraid all sorts of reasons will make us miss it again.
[Anti-fraud expert #11: It's hard to say, but you still have to go to the station; otherwise, waiting for any number of trains won't help.]
So, resigned to his fate, he went to the station and began to patiently wait for the train. The previous train had just left not long ago, and he was the only person on the platform. He sat quietly for more than ten minutes.
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 19: Is this the calm before the storm?]
Don't say such unlucky things.
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Some things can't be avoided just because you want to.]
...Seriously, things are like this now. Hasn't even a single news task popped up yet?
[Anti-Fraud King #214: No missions are a good thing; it's better than another deadly obstacle popping up.]
But if there are no missions, you can't level up, right?
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 19: We pay attention to people whose fates are strongly connected to yours, but not everyone can be used for observation. Sometimes, paying too much attention to them can be counterproductive.]
Will the person I choose to recruit also be under such scrutiny? Wouldn't that mean I'm dragging them into this situation unintentionally?
[Anti-fraud expert #205: So I suggest you look for people who weren't very loyal to the organization to begin with, and who only care about their own interests. This could reduce your moral burden.]
……All right.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: You haven't been having much luck lately. Let us handle the investigation into the organization's experimental base.]
If it's just a database issue, you can handle it, but we still need to prevent the organization from using paper documents or more covert methods to store more confidential documents.
If I have the chance, I would still like to make a surprise visit to the base.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: See? I knew he'd gently push our argument away.]
From what you're saying, are you implying that you've made some kind of bet behind the scenes?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: How could that be? You're overthinking it~]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: Uh, this... pay attention! A bus is arriving a little earlier than expected; it's already at the intersection.]
Morofushi Kagemitsu had already figured it out; these clowns must have had some kind of private conversation.
However, he wouldn't hold a grudge over such a small matter. Seeing the bus come to a smooth stop in front of him, he stepped on. Through the gaps in the pink bubbles, he could see that there were still quite a few empty seats on the bus, so he chose a seat near the front.
I thought he was going to be so unlucky that he wouldn't find a seat and would have to stand the whole way. It seems things weren't as bad as he imagined—
[Anti-fraud expert #148: Oh no! There are robbers in this car!]
--extreme.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: They're sitting two rows behind you.]
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Let me check their phones again. They briefly discussed their reasons for wanting to blow up the car. These two men were distraught because their girlfriends and daughters were killed by a serial killer, so they decided to take revenge on society...]
How could this be?
This serial killer is really messing with me, isn't he?
[Anti-fraud expert #19: The bombs they're using now are things they secretly make while working in factories. They even openly ask questions on search engines like, "How many years in prison would I go if I blew up a bus with a bomb?"]
So, there really was a bomb in the car, right?
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Yes, they put it in the back seat, which is very close to the fuel tank.]
He peered out the car window and realized the situation was dire; the car was going very fast, and jumping out would be too dangerous.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Even worse is yet to come; the father of the murdered daughter was the driver of that car.]
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: Call the police. Didn't Officer Umeda just give you her phone number?]
Is this what you mean by 'the pull of fate'?
[Anti-fraud expert #205: ...The text message has been sent.]
Forget it, let's not rely on others at this point. Anti-fraud expert, besides those two, what's the situation with the other four people in this car?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #205: Hmm...]
What's wrong? Is it hard to take care of?
His vision was obstructed, and he couldn't check the situation behind him through the reflective surface. He could only carefully recall the image that the anti-fraud agent had conjured when he got on the bus.
If he remembered correctly, there was a middle-aged woman carrying a shopping basket, and three young men and women who were out having fun.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: ...That middle-aged woman is extremely wealthy.]
What's the meaning?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #205: I found her wanted poster in Southeast Asia for fraud in an industrial park in northern Myanmar. It seems she was put on the wanted list due to some conflict with the military there. The reward has now reached seven figures, in US dollars.]
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Two of the young men were carrying guns. They appeared to be using their phones, but a quick glance revealed they were logged into the same website as Black Guest.]
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 148: Why does this scene seem so familiar?]
Don't tell me that the last remaining young girl was a member of the organization.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: ...]
What does your silence mean? It can't really be true, can it?!
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: She was in disguise.]
Wait a minute, when did disguise become such an easy skill to unlock? It seems like everyone he meets can disguise themselves.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Haha, Vermouth probably wants to ask this question too.]
You're still in the mood to laugh... We're sitting on a bus that could explode at any moment!
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: With this car full of immortals, are we really going to ascend to heaven?]
[Anti-fraud expert #148: Those two young men are ready to make their move; the observer position is no longer ours for this round.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: That young girl in disguise also noticed something. Ah! She directly took off her large hoop earring, straightened it, and planned to use it as a weapon?]
Moribu Kagemitsu instinctively reached for the pistol hidden in his coat, but was stopped by Anti-Fraud King.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: Don't move! Your antisocial boyfriend is staring at you.]
So he withdrew his hand.
Are all the people on this bus staring at me because I seem threatening?
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Although you're wearing this slimming trench coat, your great workout results still shine through.]
Keep an eye on me, I have a feeling I'm going to play support again this time.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Don't be discouraged, at least we can contact the police station without using our phones. Officer Umeda has already replied to our message; they said the police car has been fixed and is being refueled.]
Instead of hoping they'll do their best, let's cheer them on!
Suddenly, Morofushi Kagemitsu felt a figure flash past him, followed by a violent jolt in the car.
What's going on?!
He quickly asked the anti-fraud expert, who said that all he could see, besides pink bubbles flying around, was something that seemed to be happening in the driver's seat.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: A scammer in northern Myanmar has struck. She rushed to the driver's seat, grabbed the steering wheel, and knocked her antisocial father unconscious with a stick. Now she's trying to figure out how to drive a bus.]
What do you mean? She can't drive a big truck?
[Anti-fraud expert #11: She usually drives a minivan and rides a motorcycle; it will take her time to get used to driving such a large vehicle.]
Stop, stop, stop! Let me drive!
Morabushi Kagemitsu shakily sat up in the car, and said to the 'pink beauty' who was sitting in the driver's seat with a furious expression, "I'll drive! Give me the steering wheel!"
As soon as the scammer from northern Myanmar turned around, Zhu Fujingguang quickly said, "Watch out! Shoot to the left!"
At this point, don't worry about breaking the light bulb; saving your life is the priority!
The scammer in northern Myanmar listened to advice and swerved to the left, avoiding the tragedy of his car crashing into a tree.
Having escaped this ordeal, she didn't hold a grudge. Instead, she grabbed Morofushi Kagemitsu by the collar and threw him onto the driver's seat, meaning, 'This car is yours now.'
Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't have time to ask any questions; he focused on stabilizing the car, while the anti-fraud expert was broadcasting the situation behind the car to him.
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Wow! This girl is amazing! She tackled her antisocial boyfriend with a single lunge. If the wire hadn't been too short, she probably would have strangled him.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Those two guys were really useful. After some fiddling around, they found the bomb. Now they're searching online for tutorials on how to defuse it...]
What? !
Are they still browsing the forum? Hurry up and give them a live demonstration in the thread so they can defuse the bomb!
[Anti-fraud expert #205: We've taught you! We've taught you!]
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 11: Jing, you can't stop now. This bomb's countdown will start immediately if you stop. It's best to keep moving forward at this speed until you disarm it.]
Where did they learn this skill? Is it something an ordinary worker could do?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #214: Forget about that, you can't turn right! Police cars are chasing that serial killer, and the road has been blocked in advance!]
Morobuchi Kagemitsu quickly turned the steering wheel to the left.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Sigh, now I have to take a detour again; there's not much gas left in the car.]
Zhu Fujingguang: #!
No matter what, this serial killer must be caught!
