No matter how bitter Kuroki Jin is, he can only recognize the current situation and continue his current 007 life.
A member of the logistics department on Stringer's side was probably looking for him to confirm something. He casually said auspicious words that Kuroki would eat well, drink well and have fun, and then ran away.
Kuroki Jin finished the sushi, placed the empty plate on the plate rack that had been prepared, and went to the champagne tower next to him to get a glass of champagne.
There was only alcohol and no drinks at the organization’s annual meeting.
I don’t know who first proposed this rule and it has been adopted to this day. Many members who don’t like drinking have reported this question to us, but no one has given an answer. Over time, everyone has become used to it and no one mentions it anymore.
People like Kuroki Jin who don't like to drink much and can get drunk even if they take more than two sips, can only find something that can be considered a drink like champagne to last the whole night.
The entire hotel has a total of forty-nine floors. The nine floors below are banquet halls. The first floor is the reception hall. Today, it is mainly responsible for checking the identities of the members present. The Gin at this time may be somewhere on the first floor. They waited in the corner for suspicious people to enter and dealt with them on the spot.
The second and third floors are connected conference halls. The second floor is a standard 40*24 square meter banquet hall. The floor tiles on the third floor cover only about half of the second floor. They spread out into a "U" shape with the center as the center. place, you can see part of the second floor from above.
The fourth to eighth floors are separate small banquet halls. Half of the rooms are used by some members of Xijing to communicate with a few acquaintances, while the remaining half is only used for food, drinks and drinks. You can enter, and you might encounter something unexpected.
The ninth floor is free and used as a partition, and the tenth floor is used as a residence. Each member present tonight was given a room card to use for rest. They can check out before 12 noon tomorrow.
As the hands moved towards six o'clock in the evening, the number of people in the entire venue gradually increased. Colorful clothes and masks of various colors passed under Kuroki's eyes one by one. He recognized some people just by looking at them, and some people He really has never seen it.
When it was almost six o'clock, Kuroki Jin knocked on Gin's room door. The person who started the party had to show up no matter what. Gin opened the door for him with a cold face. The room was so tidy that it didn't look like anyone had been there just now.
"I haven't slept at all." Kuroki Jin looked at the untouched bed and said with concern: "I heard from Vodka that you stayed up late yesterday to complete the mission, and you have to see it very late today."
Gin ignored Kuroki at all. Under his gaze, he put the pistol on his waist in a conspicuous place, put a hat on his head and walked out.
Gin never wears a mask.
Kuroki Ren got used to it and followed Gin out and closed the door. However, the two of them went down from the two elevators separately.
After all, everyone who knows Gin in the organization knows that there are two people who follow him all year round. The fatter one is Vodka, and the thinner one is Porter. If he follows Gin so arrogantly, then Kuroki is wearing the mask in vain today. .
Kuroki Jin blended into the crowd on the second floor. Within two seconds, he heard the venue on the second floor gradually getting quieter. Looking along where the crowd dispersed, he saw that it was indeed Gin.
Kuroki Jin is already used to Gin's big boss aura and clearing the field. He curled his lips and ignored him, holding the champagne glass and getting to the edge of the banquet hall.
As soon as six o'clock arrived, the lights in the entire venue dimmed, and the broadcast above the head blared a few times and then sounded a voice that was obviously a mechanical chorus:
"To our great dream!"
"Cheers—!"
Everyone raised their wine glasses, which looked very strange under the dim light. I don’t know how many people’s eyes were hidden in this glass of wine.
This brief formality is over.
The lights came back on, and Gin, who had been attracting attention just now, had long since disappeared. Even Kuroki Jin, who was subconsciously paying attention to him, didn't notice when the person escaped. But he could still find it if he really wanted to.
After all, most of the time, Gin's boss wouldn't stay on the second or third floor in such an occasion, and he couldn't go back to his room because he was responsible for the security of the entire venue, so he would definitely be caught in the small banquet halls on the fourth to eighth floors.
From six o'clock to twelve o'clock in the evening, there is free time for activities. As long as you don't leave the hotel, in principle you can enter anywhere you can go - the elevators above the tenth floor of the hotel need to swipe the room card to operate, that is to say Everyone can only access the level of your room.
Kuroki Jin didn't want to go back to bed so early. He wandered around the venue on the second floor eating and drinking. He could chat with people he knew and didn't know. He didn't give his own code name or ask about the other person's code name. It was completely regarded as a night of relaxation. .
Almost half of the members think the same way. After all, the logistics department has no skills, but he is definitely an expert in food, clothing, housing and transportation. If he misses a bite, if he wants to eat in the future, he will have to go abroad and may not be able to find it.
But some people don't like this kind of occasion. They just grab some food and go to a corner to stay. They probably go upstairs to rest after dinner, sleep until tomorrow and leave immediately.
Kuroki Jin saw an acquaintance while walking around.
Since he arrived early enough and had nothing to do, he hid on the third floor and watched everyone walk in after people were allowed in. He only didn't stare at the door for a short while before the show started.
It was at this time that she arrived.
Shirley didn't like this kind of occasion at all. If the organization hadn't forced the codename members in Tokyo to be present, she would have spent her first New Year's Eve in Japan tonight in the laboratory. Maybe with luck, she could still be with her. Meet my sister.
However, when she learned that the Tokyo members had such an outrageous event that they had to participate in, she was undoubtedly confused - are you all so free? !
Her outfit today was similar to the one she wore when she went to Suzuki Ayako's birthday party that day. She also wore a white coat casually on the outside, and wore a hoodie and hat underneath to cover her conspicuous short brown hair. The mask on her face also covered a relatively large area. She is so big that people who are not familiar with her will not recognize her at all. And she had only been back for a short period of time, so she didn't know anyone, and no one knew her. She was quiet just hiding in a corner.
Kuroki Ren recognized her immediately.
It's amazing that since the last dull separation in the laboratory, they have never seen each other again.
It's not that Kuroki Ren doesn't want to meet her by chance, but it's just that there really isn't a chance. Without Gin giving him relevant tasks, Kuroki Jin had no reason to run to Shirley's laboratory.
This led to today being their first meeting since then.
Kuroki Ren's mood was complicated. He couldn't tell what it was like. He simply shook his head and forced himself not to look over there. In just one glance, he saw a familiar person standing not far from Shirley. in the corner, looking at her.
Royal deer.
