"What's wrong?"
Gin noticed something strange about Kawakami Tsumugi, and found that he was looking at Shirley unabashedly, and his murderous intent suddenly increased.
Shirley naturally noticed them. A trace of imperceptible disgust flashed in her eyes. She quickened her pace and walked deeper into the organization's stronghold without changing her expression.
"Is that Shirley? She's quite cute." Kawakami sighed inexplicably.
"How do you know she is Shirley?" Gin asked in a serious tone.
Gin's suspicious character is really difficult to deal with, but it is easy for Kawakami to solve this flaw.
"Isn't it obvious?" Kawakami explained.
"This kind of escort formation is usually aimed at important members within the organization. It can be inferred from the side that the person being escorted does not have extraordinary physical skills or spear skills, and there is a high probability that he belongs to the research group."
"In addition, the code name Shirley is obviously female, and the gentleman just mentioned it to me."
Prominent members of the organization are given various code names named after alcohol, with men tending to be strong drinkers and women with lower alcohol content. The organization was nicknamed the "winery" by internal members.
"Well...age is indeed an interference factor. But there are not no geniuses in the world. Even I can barely be counted."
"Ah."
This should have dispelled Gin's suspicion, but Kawakamiji couldn't figure out why the other party looked more murderous.
--------------------------
Kawakami Tsumugi was abandoned by Gin on the street.
The organization's stronghold was built in a deep mountain and old forest, which is a place where no one can shit in Kawakami's eyes. It is not possible to take a ride, and it is impossible to take a ride due to confidentiality and other reasons.
So Gin reluctantly drove Kawakami for a while. And the moment they entered the city, they asked him to get out of the car.
Although he had never been here before, Tsumugi Kawakami had seen the map in advance, and his sense of direction and space were ridiculously good.
He estimated that it was about half an hour away, so he planned to walk back.
...But halfway through, I was attracted by the steaming octopus balls served at a roadside snack shop.
It's rare to have an appetite, so the car money you got from Gin for free can't be wasted, right?
Kawakami asked for a large portion, and exchanged his cute and harmless appearance for the proprietress's loving eyes and a generous portion of shredded seaweed. He chose a seat against the glass door and chewed slowly.
It was only now that Kawakamiji had time to study the mechanical sounds in his mind.
"Although you called yourself System the last time you appeared...but what exactly are you?" he asked in his mind.
No response. It seemed like it was just a simple auditory hallucination.
But Kawakamiji knew that there was something in his mind.
This feeling is very mysterious, just like when someone is staring at you, even if you don't see that person staring at you, you will notice it.
According to existing clues, it can be inferred that Kawakami Tsumugi, or Kashasha, is not actually from this world.
The more literary ones are called visitors from another world, the more fashionable ones are called time travellers, and the more scientifically rigorous ones are called delusions.
The last one can be ruled out. He himself is mentally strong and normal.
Why is it inferred from existing clues? This is a long story, Kawakami Tsumugi himself is a patient with hyperamnesia.
Hyperamnesia is an extremely rare medical phenomenon in which the patient's brain has an automatic memory system that accurately remembers everything he has experienced and cannot forget it.
It's a gift and a curse. Memories that are too trivial and cannot be forgotten often cause patients to have a mental breakdown.
Of course, in order to pay attention to the physical and mental health of employees, Kawakami will not be driven crazy by his huge and trivial memories. Every three or four years, the organization will perform a memory cleansing on him.
So even if Kawakami Tsumugi guessed that he did not belong to this world based on various clues, he would not have any evidence other than the system of pretending to be dead in his mind.
He has not passed.
Kawakamiji really wanted to figure out what the system and the so-called character points were.
Because although his memory has been cleaned several times by the organization, the parts related to the system have never been cleaned.
This may be the breakthrough point for him to regain his previous memories.
His current character points are seven.
The latest point added is the meeting with Shirley. The six points I got before are because I met a member of the action team code-named Armagnac, whose real name is Ethan Hondo, a year ago.
A year ago, in order to figure out the system, Kawakami applied to the organization to become a partner with Armagnac.
Although there was no progress in the investigation of the system, the two became good friends because of certain things. After he was transferred to the research team, the two had no contact with each other.
Tsumugi Kawakami has read extensively, so he naturally knows the theory of the brain in a vat and the setting of The Truman World. Whatever it is, that system is very weird.
Maybe now in a higher dimension, there is a group of unknown creatures pointing and criticizing him.
But take it as it comes, Kawakami Tsumugi has never cared about being watched, so worrying about this is nothing more than unfounded worries.
The octopus balls tasted good. In the year he was digging at the institute, he had never eaten food so full of life.
When Kawakami returned to his safe house, he carried a bag full of daily necessities and used 80% of the money given to him by Gin.
In fact, he is not poor, but the conditions are special and time is tight, and he does not have much liquidity on hand.
Known condition one: Organizational research needs to be kept secret; Known condition two: He does not have a means of transportation; Known condition three: Due to mission reasons, it is inconvenient for him to contact members of the action team other than Gin.
From this, it is reasonable to infer that Gin will come to pick him up tomorrow. There is nothing wrong with this logical chain.
While he was drinking gin, Tsumugi Kawakami's cell phone vibrated.
Gin sent an email, briefly informing him that the stolen USB flash drive had been recovered and that the next step would be initiated.
[OK, leave it to me to activate the dead mailbox.
PS: Don’t forget to pick me up and take me to the institute tomorrow.
——Cachaca]
After a few seconds, the email status changes to "Read". Gin didn't reply to him, and the two emails were automatically deleted by the mobile phone program.
Operations on intelligence are often a race against time, whether it is stolen or recovered. The longer the time, the lower the possibility of achieving the goal.
This time it was a special situation. The intelligence officers who stole his information used dead mailboxes to deliver messages.
Dead mailbox means an unmanned handover point in intelligence activities. Intelligence personnel place the intelligence somewhere in advance. It can be a tree hole, a toilet paper box, under a certain seat on the train... or even... It's a piece of trash; it's then retrieved by the liaison officer.
Some dead mailboxes that hand over information from time to time will set activation signals through other methods, such as a piece of news on a small website, an advertisement in the corner of a newspaper...
This joint method is secretive and convenient, but it also has a disadvantage: it is difficult to make timely adjustments after one party is accidentally exposed.
Akira Nakamura is from the CIA. His upline was very discreet and never met him face to face. Akira Nakamura has no idea of his identity and status in the organization.
However, the information given by Akira Nakamura was enough for them to have a good show of a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind.
Now that the information has been recovered, Kawakami's task of killing the undercover agent is not very urgent, not to mention that he has a godly teammate Ginjiu to help keep an eye on it.
Therefore, his current more important task than catching an undercover agent is to hand over the task of the research team with the airborne leader Shirley.
Over the next few days, Kawakami will be in contact with Shirley.
