Chapter 6 Character Mission Opens
Toru Amuro's sleep schedule is very irregular, but no matter how late he goes to bed, he always wakes up early.
I arrive early when it is still light, go out for a morning run or walk the dog, then make myself a nutritious and delicious breakfast before going to work.
A mission came up a few days ago, so I asked for leave from Café Polo, which also made Toru Amuro stay up all night. I thought I would go to bed early after finishing my work yesterday. Today happens to be the day when Café Polo is holding an event, so I can go to work in high spirits.
I can take so many days off thanks to my fellow store employee Azusa Enomoto who doesn't mind.
But if he was so busy and had to neglect many activities for his customers, Amuro Toru didn't want to bully his colleagues unless it was necessary.
But when he woke up today, the messages filling his mailbox made Amuro Toru feel that the world had become mysterious overnight.
It was not that he received a mission, but rather the news from his spies in the organization as the intelligence agent codenamed Bourbon, the news from the public security received by Furuya Rei as the public security officer, and the explosive news received by Amuro Toru as an ordinary citizen on the surface.
All three tell the same story, but the amount of information in each aspect is different.
First, the news.
At 1:20 a.m. last night, a violent explosion occurred in a residential building in a certain district, and the police arranged for nearby residents to take shelter.
After the fire was put out, the fire brigade discovered a well-preserved underground base under the house, from which 35 bodies were found, all of whom were shot to death.
Some of these corpses were wanted fugitives who have yet to be arrested.
As soon as the explosion happened, the media rushed to the scene, so the police had no chance of hiding the news.
Such shocking and eye-catching news immediately became the headlines of various television stations.
Even the news push on mobile phones used large bold fonts and a bunch of exclamation points to express shock that such a thing could happen right under everyone's noses. How can ordinary citizens protect their own lives in the future? Where does the taxpayers' money go?
What followed was the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's preliminary investigation into the major case, and a statement that it would take responsibility for the personal safety of citizens and asked the public to rest assured.
However, judging from the amount of information revealed by the preliminary investigation, this case obviously involves many people, and the Metropolitan Police Department does not intend to disclose the entire investigation process of the case. It can be said that it is being very ambiguous.
The second is organization.
The information he received from the organization usually consisted of three parts.
Rum or Gin's mission.
The things to be obtained in the mission, the people to be dealt with, and the intelligence to be investigated are the most clear information, but there are also traps hidden in them to test the loyalty of the organization.
Intelligence exchange with code members.
After all, Bi Bo was an intelligence agent, so it was not surprising that he was keen on gathering intelligence and obtaining more information. As long as it did not involve highly confidential tasks, there would be no problem.
As for more confidential information, it is of course exchanged privately behind the organization's back with equally valuable information, or obtained through threats by seizing the weak points.
However, you must be extremely careful and cautious when facing code members.
Then there are the informants he came into contact with and bought within the organization.
Most of them are grassroots members and ordinary members, like worker bees that maintain the operation of the hive. They don't need a deep friendship, as long as they can send the message to him.
Through seemingly ordinary intelligence, the movements of many bases can actually be screened out.
The information obtained this time came from these informants.
The message of emotional breakdown and fear can almost be overflowed from the text.
Finally, there is the public security.
The address of this case is a base of the organization, which Toru Amuro has known for a long time.
However, this base has no value and is well hidden, so there is no need to remove it for the time being, so as not to arouse the organization's vigilance, so it has been left there.
His superiors also knew it.
Therefore, the information sent by the superior was much clearer, and it was the investigation data on this case held by the public security department.
The explosion at the organization's base was man-made using local materials. Coincidentally, the sheltering houses on the ground were blown to pieces, while the actual underground base was well preserved and had been emptied by the police, and some useful data was discovered.
From the murderer to the members of the organization belonging to this base, they have everything under control through surveillance video.
The other party is a newcomer brought by Gin, a code member of the organization. He has no intelligence value and is obviously an antisocial personality. He will definitely face retaliation from the organization in the future.
He is a criminal who can be arrested directly without worrying about the organization.
Therefore, the public security has arrested the criminal suspect Hisashi Jyouno.
Toru Amuro suddenly felt a strong dizziness, and the words on the screen twisted into a ball of ink like a whirlpool. His soul seemed to be thrown into a washing machine, or immersed in the long river of time. Countless information poured through it, but without leaving a trace.
Not long after, the blond-haired, dark-skinned man's expression returned to normal.
He was completely devastated after reading the message. Thinking back to the black-haired young man with golden eyes who acted strangely and indifferently, he couldn't help but pinch his brows, and a cruel look flashed in his eyes.
[This case is caused by the conflict between Hennessy and Gin, two codenamed members of the organization...]
As expected of a code member who is deeply trusted by the organization, he can blow up a base just by having a conflict with Gin.
Whether or not he entered the interrogation room was not a big deal to the other party, after all, he had such inhuman physical strength and fighting ability.
...Like the immortal witch Bermode, he suspected that Hennessy was also a part of the organization's secrets, which was why he was so trusted.
Sooner or later he will put all these people in jail and eradicate the organization!
This matter has to start from when the player runs to the anchor point.
From his current position, it was a long distance to the anchor point on the electric donkey.
After all, there are too many buildings on the map, so players can only run along the streets using vehicles. They cannot go into other people's houses or climb over walls.
Most importantly, there is a treasure chest.
There are ordinary supply boxes on the lawns beside the streets, rich supply boxes with glowing red locks on the balconies of private houses, rich supply boxes hidden in the corridors of high-rise buildings that need to be obtained by solving puzzles, and roadside challenge mechanisms - get the supply boxes within a minute.
Although this map has a lot of buildings and is not as bright as the big world of Genshin Impact, where you can see the vast scenery at a glance, the design of the treasure chest is equally high-level.
It is basically guaranteed that when the player opens a supply box, another supply box or challenge mechanism will be visible within the field of vision.
As the player was searching, he forgot about going to the anchor point, and because he thought the electric donkey was inconvenient, he parked it on the side of the road. He rushed all the way, climbing over walls and passing through houses, running further and further away from the anchor point.
When he was almost running to another anchor point, he was suddenly surrounded by NPCs.
There are still a bunch of NPCs that he can only stun when they use skills, which will cause their damage to be visible, and they won't turn into humanoid monsters with their health bars showing.
【Justice Judgment】
[The police have evidence of your crime and are arresting you. You will face a fair trial. Please choose carefully.]
After triggering the task, two options pop up.
【Surrender】
[Fierce resistance]
Surrender without a fight... Just kidding, impossible.
Unless the opponent is an NPC with super exquisite modeling and super high XP, but now there is only a group of men in suits on the opposite side, and the leader who shouted "Give up resistance" is an ordinary man with sparse eyebrows.
It must have been a fierce resistance!
But this group of NPCs still had no health bars and could only be knocked unconscious.
Not intense at all.
The most intense part is that after the player opens the anchor, he finds that he has accepted a long list of side quests when he was running around the map before, but because ordinary people refuse to contact wanted criminals, all of them are grayed out and show an unfinishable status.
At that moment, the player's heart almost stopped beating.
Where is the save point?
Where is my save point?
Oh, this game has no save points.
After clicking on the nearby anchor that looked like a beautiful solidified hourglass, the players who continued to run around the map to open treasure chests became increasingly lonely.
NPCs would run away when they saw him, and no one could have a normal conversation with them. Then the police would rush over in police cars to catch him, and after he knocked them out, he could no longer receive any missions.
In holographic games, realism often also represents the player's freedom.
The freedom given to players also means that they can easily end up in dead ends.
Although they have just started playing and it is not a pity to cancel their account and start over, players still refuse to give up.
——If he starts over again, he will definitely have to kill monsters in order to level up. If he kills monsters, he will be wanted. If he is wanted, he will not be able to accept quests and will be caught by NPCs at any time and anywhere. There is no such logic in the game.
There must be a way to get him to play normally.
After thinking about it, the player turned on the card drawing.
With one single shot, the meteor shines brightly with golden light against the background of blue sky and white clouds.
Fragments with irregular edges and cracks appeared in front of the players, and the man who was originally a black silhouette on the fragments revealed his true face.
He had a pair of red eyes with upturned corners. His face was originally gentle and handsome, but his expression was cold, making him look a bit cold. His stubble also made him look more mature. He was carrying a guitar bag on his back.
In the mission interface, the only mission that can be accepted is updated.
【Broken Wine】
[As a codename member of the organization, Scotland has many painful past events, but he will always move forward firmly until he is broken]
[You are the only person outside the world, and the only one who can travel through the long river of time through the fragments of time. Please change his fate.]
