Chapter 15 On the Disadvantages of Too Good Acting
Furukawa Kumisa turned on the room lights, walked to the window and opened the curtains, and saw the sports car parked downstairs in the community.
"I'm going upstairs." She took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Bourbon.
A few seconds after sending this text message, Furukawa Kumisa saw the car downstairs starting its engine and disappearing into the night.
The system clicked its tongue: "Tsk, tsk, I can't tell that this bourbon is quite a gentleman, and he still knows to wait until you turn on the lights downstairs before leaving."
"Gentleman?" Furukawa Kumisa sneered.
She looked at the car's taillights disappearing into the night and felt slightly chilly.
"You can still pretend that nothing happened when someone dies in front of you, and even have the thought to put on the clothes and coat of the 'murderer' next to you. Do you call such a person a gentleman?"
The system is silent.
"In the eyes of people like them, human life is such a worthless thing. Today, you can sit back and watch Ehara Tetsuya's life and death indifferently. Tomorrow, when my undercover identity is exposed, he can pull the trigger on me with a gentlemanly smile."
System: ...Oh no, this scene is quite touching, what should I do?
Furukawa Kumisa put down the curtains, walked to the room, picked up his cell phone, and looked at the time. There was still two hours left before the time agreed with the public security contact.
"System, redeem the prop 'Makeover Pill'."
"Are you sure the host needs to spend 3 points of favorability to exchange for the prop 'Makeover Pill'?"
"Sure."
"The exchange is successful, the host's remaining points are: 152 points. Effect of the face-changing pill: after taking it, the host's image can be transformed into the appearance of any man, woman, old or young. It also comes with a voice-changing function. This disguise will not be seen through by anyone in the small world.
"The duration of the makeover: three hours. You can choose to end the 'makeover' effect early. Side effects: Three hours after taking the pill, symptoms of high fever and fever appear, which last for three hours and cannot be alleviated by any medicine or treatment."
Furukawa Kumisa took the pills, took out her mobile phone, called a taxi, turned off the lights and went out.
When Yuya Kazama arrived at the dock, there were still fifteen minutes left before the agreed time with 018.
He turned on his mobile phone and confirmed the text message sent by "0" again: At 12:15 pm, in front of warehouse No. 03 of Chenggui Pier, he contacted 018 to collect information.
Yuya Kazama has been famous for 018 for a long time. He is one of the only two undercover agents sent by the police to the black organization to survive.
The remaining one is his immediate boss Jianggu Ling.
Judging from Yuya Kazama's filter on Rei Furutani, it is a matter of course that he survived, but 018 actually survived in that cannibal organization, and his identity was even kept secret so that even Mr. Furutani had no authority to know it.
, this is very powerful.
Except for his immediate supervisor, no one in the police knew the identity of 018. They didn't even know whether he was a man or a woman, let alone his status in the other party's organization.
The public security department is a highly confidential unit, and many of its informants have single-line contacts. That is to say, the management officer only recently transferred 018 to Mr. Fangtani to cooperate with him in collecting various criminal evidence in the organization.
They also learned that there was a colleague who was buried so deeply in the organization.
Upon closer inspection, it seems that the superiors have changed their tactics towards the organization, from the usual defense to counterattack, and are preparing to take action.
Yuya Kazama has heard about Yoshiko Kuji's case. It has been ten years since she was developed as an informant for that organization. The information in her hands is definitely a secret among secrets, and they must get it.
This woman was as slippery as a loach. In view of her past betrayal, the police were wary of her at first.
But they didn't expect that Yoshiko Izukuji was killed before they could investigate whether she was really guilty.
Now that she has the organization, the police, and the Metropolitan Police involved in her body, her whole body can be affected by her actions. Instead, they are somewhat tied up and unable to let go to investigate.
But the truth about her death is no longer the most critical issue. The most critical issue is the information she has about the organization.
——This is what Kazama was called out to get from 018 this time.
As for whether 018 can get this thing... Kazama remembered a text message that Mr. Furitani just received.
"If mission 018 fails, tell him not to lose heart."
Kazama sighed silently - although he didn't know the situation in the organization, since Mr. Fangtani said so, it seemed that 018's mission this time was probably not completed.
The clock on the phone screen jumped to 12:15, and footsteps could be heard in the dense shadows of the containers.
Kazama instantly cheered up and looked there.
A tall man with a curly beard walked out of the shadows. He was strong and tall, far exceeding the average height of Japanese men, and even a head taller than Kazama.
He walked up to Kazama and spoke in a rough, low-pitched voice that matched his appearance very well: "Zero?"
Kazama took out his public security ID: "Zero team of the Police Planning Section of the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Department, Yuya Kazama."
Furukawa Kumisa, who had "remodelled" and became a tough man, internally curled his lips, "What? It's not Rei Fukiya himself."
It seems that there is still a long way to go to meet the target of this world's strategy, Jiangu Ling.
Standing opposite, Kazama saw 018 being silent, thinking that just as Mr. Fukitani said, 018's mission had failed.
He thought for a while and said, "You don't have to worry about this mission..."
Furukawa Kumisa didn't care what he said, he just rummaged through the hidden pocket in his clothes and handed a small USB flash drive to Kazama's eyes:
"This is Yoshiko Kuji's information - by the way, what did you want to say just now?"
Kazama's eyes widened, and he swallowed all the comforting words he had prepared: "...No, it's nothing."
Furukawa Kumisa glanced at Kazama who was hesitant to speak with some doubts, but after all, he was thinking about the three hours of "Makeover Pill" and the subsequent side effects. Seeing that the other party had nothing else to say, he left conveniently.
"The things have been delivered, I'll leave first."
With that said, without waiting for Kazama to answer, he turned around and left the way he came.
Kazama: ...What a cold colleague.
But no matter what, 018 got the information they dreamed of, and there was no need to worry about other things.
He turned on his cell phone and reported to Jiang Guling.
Furukawa Kumisa completed the transaction, turned on his mobile phone and called a taxi for himself, then walked to the main road to wait for the taxi.
"Congratulations to the host. The target Jiang Gu Ling's favorability towards the host has increased by 3 points. Currently, Jiang Gu Ling's favorability towards the host is 3 points, and the total favorability gained by the host is 155 points."
Furukawa Kumisa's hanging heart finally let go: "Huh... I have been promoted as expected. It seems that the path of 'completing the public security tasks to reduce Gu Zero's favor' is feasible. I originally thought that if it didn't work, I would still do it.
Find a way to meet with Fangtani Rei as soon as possible. Since you can gradually gain favor through tasks now, there is no need to be in such a hurry."
It's just...it's only 3 o'clock, but it just makes up for the cost of her "makeover pills". Isn't this person too stingy?
"Speaking of which, since the host is here to see the police, why does he use the 'makeover pill'?"
"Because I don't want to expose my organizational identity to Jiangu Ling too early."
Of course Furukawa Kumisa has his own considerations: "As I analyzed before, as the last target of the strategy, Rei Furitani's identity is bound to be more complicated than the previous ones, and he is probably also an undercover lurking in the organization.
"When I come to meet with the police this time, it would be best if I could see Jiang Gu Ling in person. If not, I cannot expose my true face to Jiang Gu Ling in advance. This will not help me establish a suitable person in front of him.
Let's attack him.
“This time, unlike the previous worlds, we knew who the target was from the very beginning, and were fully prepared to ‘interpret’ myself into the appearance that would best attract them.
"We have no way of knowing what Rei Furuya likes and dislikes, so instead of risking leaving some strange impression on him as 'Natafi' in the organization, it is better to keep it as it is and send text messages as '018'
Slowly gain his favor.
"A mission gives 3 points. As long as you persist for a long time, you will reach 45 one day. It is better than us rashly leaving a bad impression in his mind and falling into passivity."
The system was silent for a moment, feeling that what the host said made sense, but...
"Host, have you ever considered the possibility that Bourbon is the lowest level?"
If Bourbon is the lowest level, then the impression of the host in his heart has definitely reached rock bottom.
Furukawa Kumisa sneered: "How could a pervert who could smile so tenderly at the 'murder scene' get the script of 'Messenger of Justice'?"
On the other side of Tokyo, Toru Amuro, Rei Furitani, and Justice Ben, who had just been labeled as "gentle perverts" by Kumisa Furukawa, looked at the messages from Kazama on their mobile phones and fell into the same thoughts as Kumisa Furukawa.
middle.
"The information has been obtained from 018 and is being sent back to the headquarters for analysis."
To be honest, when he received this text message, his first reaction was-could 018 be Natafi?
But this doubt flashed away in his mind, and the scene of Natafi standing in front of Tetsuya Ehara's body and looking back at him with a bloody blade appeared before his eyes.
——Her eyes were too calm and too clear, so calm and clear that it was as if what she just picked up and dropped with the knife was not a living person, but a dead thing like an apple.
He had only seen that kind of calmness in members of the organization, such as Gin.
Natafi's eyes were even clearer than theirs. She stood in front of the corpse she had just killed, her eyes were clear and spotless.
They ignore life and sit back and watch death. That is calmness that is more terrifying than madness.
Toru Amuro really didn't want such a look to appear on a public security policeman.
But since he had doubts in his mind, he decided to seek confirmation.
He dialed Kazama's phone: "Hello, Kazama. What does the 018 who just connected with you look like?"
The unreasonable weather suddenly changed, and the heavy rain that had stopped in the evening poured down again, catching Furukawa Kumisa by surprise.
"Tsk, system, can you connect to the Internet in this world and give me a weather forecast every morning from now on?"
The second before he was soaked in the rain, Furukawa Kumisa hid in a game arcade on the corner of the street in embarrassment. He looked at the pouring rain outside the door without any warning, and complained irritably in his heart.
"If the host needs it."
Furukawa Kumisa sighed, "Forget it...Looking at the heavy rain, the car I ordered will probably be delayed again. System, how long will it take before the 'makeover pill' expires?"
"One hour, forty-eight minutes and thirty-six seconds left."
It now takes about an hour to take a taxi home from this game arcade, which is quite enough time.
Furukawa Kumisa felt a little relieved. Fortunately, okay, if the "makeover pill" fails outside, it would be a trivial matter to change back to the original state. It would just be a matter of finding a bathroom to hide for a while. The occurrence of side effects would be a big deal.
This was not the first time she had used the face-changing pills. She knew that the side effects of the fever were severe and she must not attack them outside.
Just as he was counting the time, his cell phone rang. Furukawa Kumisa saw that it was a call from the taxi company and picked up the call.
"Did Mr. Owada call the car? I'll be there in ten minutes. Are you still at the xx terminal?"
Furukawa Kumisa reported the address of the game arcade where he was currently sheltering from the rain to the driver, and the driver changed his location.
"Okay, let me take a look. There are still twelve minutes until your location. Please be patient..."
