"Although your current identity as Midorikawa Kage is okay on the surface, it would be better to have more fake identities." Tsumugi Kawakami said.
Names are conditioned reflexes formed by human beings in long-term interactions with society for group cohesion.
Ahem... Let me give you an example in non-pretentious language: Your name is "Amao", and you are called "Amao" by everyone from the time you were born until now.
Therefore, whenever you hear a sound like "Amao" when you walk on the street, you will turn around and look back.
At this time, if you suddenly change your identity or name, it will be very difficult for people to adapt. For example, if you slip up when introducing yourself, or if someone yells at you, it will take you a long time to react.
Of course, most people will not make such low-level mistakes after receiving certain training, but in unconventional situations such as drunkenness, Chinese medicine, and near death, mistakes can easily occur.
In order to circumvent this problem to a certain extent, experienced winery employees, such as Tsumugi Kawakami, will choose names with similar meanings to or related to their own names when giving pseudonyms.
For example, when Tsumugi Kawakami prepared the names for these three identities for Scotland, he actually split them from Scotland's own name, "Midorikawa Shadow".
The surnames "Sanchuan", "Miyagawa" and "Mishan" all have similar pronunciations to "Green River".
In Chinese, the word "shadow" refers to the dark shadow formed when an object blocks light, and also refers to an unreal image or impression.
When broken down, there are two characters: "jing" and "彡", and "彡" means pattern. At the same time, where there is shadow, there is light.
"Scenery", "pattern", "knowing light". These names were picked out by Kawakami Tsumugi.
"Are these identities...completely blank or repurposed?" Scotland asked.
Judging by how closely these pseudonyms related to his real name, Scotland wasn't sure whether Kawakami knew anything.
If it was a coincidence, it was too much.
"Maybe both?" Kawakamiji did not answer the question directly. "For some reasons, it is not appropriate to tell you the specific situation, but these identities can definitely be used."
There are two basic methods of forging identities: using a character information template to create a fake identity, and stealing other people's information for secondary tampering.
Businessmen in this industry generally have unique channels at their disposal. Kawakamiji promised to his acquaintances not to tell anyone what he shouldn't say.
Scotland nodded. If he continued to ask questions in a sideways manner, Kawakami might become suspicious.
"You can write down these identity information when you go back." Kawakami added, "If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."
"Okay." Scotland raised his head.
He looked at Kawakami Tsumugi sitting on the back of the sofa, crossing one leg and folding his arms. The gray-haired young man smiled gently, and his glasses reflected white marks in the sunlight.
Scotland found that he could not read any information from Kawakami's expression.
----------------------------------------
There are no tasks today. Kawakami Tsumugi walked out with a guitar on his back, still full of punk style.
According to him, he was looking for a place to hold an impromptu concert.
Scotland returned to his room, intending to think carefully about the false identities given to him by Kawakami Tsumugi.
The most common one is "Miyagawa Chimitsu", 25 years old, an ordinary young man who graduated from a music conservatory. His family is wealthy, but his parents died in a car accident three years ago. Pure white.
Then there's "Deep Mountain View," a former company manager who resigned a year ago and left for the United States, returning home three months ago. Shortly after he resigned, his former employer suddenly went bankrupt. According to the information in Scotland's hands, Shen Shanjing sold company secrets and made a lot of money, Gray.
Finally, there is the "Sanchuan pattern". This one is amazing, he is a killer active in Japan.
Scotland looked through the detailed task list of this status. It was not difficult to join the organization at this level.
However, this identity is obviously a secondary use of information. The real "Mikawa Pattern" should have encountered an accident long ago and is black.
All parties have their identities, quite complete.
Scotland turned on the computer and went to the official website of the music school where Miyagawa Chimitsu graduated. He actually found Miyagawa Chimitsu from the complicated information, but there was only a line of name and no photo.
He probably knew how true the identity Kawakami prepared for him was.
In the evening, Kawakami returned to the safe house. He walked around Miwa Town to understand the situation, and stopped by the Metropolitan Police Department to complete the transcript.
Yesterday, his schedule was delayed due to work at a convenience store. According to the original postponed plan, he was going to take Scotland to a certain base of the organization tonight.
Kawakami put away his guitar and equipped himself with a complete arsenal of weapons.
Scotland was already ready, standing in the living room waiting, wearing the same foggy blue, hooded clothes he had come in with.
"Do I need to bring a sniper rifle?" Scotland asked.
"No need." Kawakami replied, "But if you like, you can bring some handy small weapons."
Scotland had naturally brought his weapons. He looked at Kawakami's slim and close-fitting windbreaker and tight jeans, thinking about what weapons he had hidden.
"Actually, I don't bring many things." Kawakami lowered his head to arrange his tactical gloves, "I don't like to bring too many things."
This guy is second guessing his thoughts. Scotland is a little helpless. The problem is, it's pretty accurate every time.
"gone."
Kawakami waved his hand to Scotland, and the two of them went out. The gray-haired young man seemed as relaxed as if he was out for a walk, and even said hello to the old lady next door.
The air is humid tonight and there is an orange haze surrounding the street lamps. Kawakami Tsumugi led Scotland from the main road into the alley.
Then the dim light disappeared behind him, and the darkness revealed his original face.
The two walked into a bar.
"Is the bartender here?" the gray-haired young man greeted lazily, "I want a glass of lemon sparkling water with ice cubes."
"No." The bartender rolled his eyes, "The only lemon-flavored one is toilet cleaner. If you want to drink it, go get it from the back."
...This joint style is very Kawakamiji.
Scotland looked at the bartender, an old man with thinning hair who kept his head lowered to wipe the wine glass.
As if sensing his gaze, the bartender suddenly raised his head with a sinister look in his eyes.
Scotland noticed that the other person's right eye was covered with a layer of white clouds, and there were fire-like marks around the eye.
"Hey." Kawakami kept walking back, "Dear boss, I wish you will close down soon."
The bartender is an old man from the intelligence team and has retired. In the organization, not many people can live to that age safely. Kawakamiji didn't know his code name.
At the same time, the other party has another identity: Rum's substitute.
Rum's stand-in is larger than Belmod's cosmetics collection, and he can directly use the stand-in's identity when needed.
Of course, this is just Kawakami's guess, but based on his testing of Rum, it should be close to ten.
"When you come here from now on, you don't have to say hello to that old guy." Kawakami whispered to Scotland, "Just come in."
