"No one is in a good mood on a mission at night." Scotland replied.
Scotland knows very well that Kashasha's care and maintenance for him are based on his being a member of the organization.
Therefore, he could not reveal even half of the pain and tangle in his heart to him.
"Indeed." Kawakamiji nodded in agreement, "If there is a chance in the future, I will go to Gin to settle the score."
Then Kawakamiji stopped talking.
He could feel that Scotland was in a bad mood, as if he was suppressing something. In the absence of information, it is difficult to speculate on the reasons.
As a considerate partner, it would definitely not work to ask Scotland directly at this time. If you ask Gin for help - they have just had a fight.
After another ten minutes, Kawakami stopped the car near the safe house.
"I haven't had any missions in the past few days. Let's have a good rest when we get back." Kawakami said.
When getting out of the car, Scotland accidentally took the Pikachu doll with him.
He held it in his hand and looked at Tsumugi Kawakami, who was about two meters away from the road ahead, stepping on the edge of the flower bed to find his balance.
If you didn’t reject it at the beginning, it would be bad to return it to the other party. And... Scotland pinched the doll's ears, which was quite cute.
Scotland checked around and made sure that there was no stuff added to the doll: there were no bugs, locators or anything like that, not to mention that he had nothing worthy of being bugged.
But Scotland put the doll on the windowsill and closed the window.
Scotland couldn't sleep.
If he felt the pain of killing innocent people, he should have been used to it - but in fact, Scotland's missions rarely reached this point.
Scotland suddenly discovered that during the year under Kashasha, he had only a handful of opportunities to receive such tasks.
It cannot be said that Kashasha’s methods are gentle:
Intimidation, extortion, or letting mission targets kill each other while they sit back and watch the fight, and most of them use sniper rifles to do nothing but take advantage of others.
For a while, Kashasha specially trained Scotland on how to kill people, and then performed several unforgettable missions.
Perhaps later, he felt that he had basically met the standard, so Kashasha resumed his mission method of focusing on intelligence games, supplemented by the use of swords and guns.
As for whether Scotland has failed to adapt, he himself doesn't know.
At least Scotland has mastered superficial skills. Now he can do these things with the expressions of eating, drinking, and talking about the weather.
In fact, Kashasha's method, this bloodless method, was not what a member of the organization should do. Scotland even doubted his identity.
But Kashasha was not a good person, and the purpose he achieved was as bad as gin, so Scotland abandoned this ridiculous idea.
At the same time, because most of the time there is no direct blood on the hands, this way of carrying out the mission can easily blur the lines of the Scottish heart.
On the lines of law and justice.
Thus circumventing his mechanism of self-stinging self-reflection.
Killing is not an end, but a means. Kashasha has been instilling this in him consciously or unconsciously.
Just like this task, if it was led by Kashasha, after the company chairman sent a stand-in, Kashasha might use a more restrained method than killing him directly, such as threatening the chairman with the lives of his family members. …
After much thought, Scotland still fell into a restless sleep.
----------------------------------------
Tsumugi Kawakami spends most of his time in a state of insomnia. Whenever he feels sleepy, he can just find a corner and tilt it to fall asleep.
Perhaps he needs dolls to help him sleep more than Scotland.
Now Kawakamiji was still feeling very energetic, so he sat at his desk and took out his loose-leaf notepad from the drawer.
There are various freehand ghost drawings on the notepad, and occasionally a few photos are posted. Except for Kawakami Tsumugi, probably no one else can understand what was written.
Kawakamiji added a few words to his notebook.
[Barolo, Curly S, Nanyang University]
Under "Barolo" is a circle and a horizontal line, which means progress; next to the word "Curly" there is a small "S", which stands for Scotland, and then there is a question mark between the two; "Nanyang University" "A circle is drawn underneath to represent to-dos.
There are other words on the previous page: research institute, treasury, gin and other words, but the meanings of these words are all in the past tense.
After adding these words, Kawakami continued to turn back.
The back part of the notepad contains some problems that Kawakami is currently unable to figure out or that are very difficult.
At the front is a newspaper clipping from a year ago: "The suspect was electrocuted while escaping."
The picture in the clipping is of Takashi Nakai, with several words and symbols marked underneath.
[remote control? ]
[Quiet? ]
[hacker (underline)]
There are several names written next to the word "hacker": Mad Hatter, nice, Ash... The latest one added by Kawakami is Sailor, whom the Mad Hatter claims to be a child.
Kawakamiji turned another page.
This page has the oldest history. I have been with Kawakami for two years and have changed several loose-leaf books.
The title has only two words: system.
There is a list of names under the system, which are the names of people who have been identified as key figures by the system. There are various records under the names of the people.
The gray-haired young man adjusted his glasses that slid down the bridge of his nose. His exploration of the system was now at a standstill.
Tsumugi Kawakami brought up the system interface.
When Kawakamiji collected more than 40 character points, the system's interface changed drastically - in a word, it became much better.
More importantly, there is one more button: [Character Card].
He clicked on the character card.
[Armagnac (Ison Hondo) Character Points: 6/15]
[Shirley (Miyano Shiho) character points: 6/20]
[Scotch Whiskey (???) Character Points: 15/15]
[Rye Whiskey (???) Character Points: 5/20]
[Mizuna Reina (???) Character Points: 5/20]
[Matsuda Jinpei character points: 3/15]
These task cards are also accompanied by pictures and realistic shadow effects, but that is not important. What is really important is the number behind the name.
These numbers tell Kawakami a fact:
There is a limit to the number of character points you can gain from each key character. Rather than being inexhaustible like Kawakami thought.
This makes Kawakami Tsumugi's previous plan of "getting close first, then happily stabbing him in the back" more time-consuming - by the way, Kawakami Tsumugi has already used this trick to finish the wool of Scotland.
Moreover, the amount of character points for each character is different, which is probably because their criticality is different - although Kawakamiji can't see any difference.
Kawakamiji currently has 40 character points, and purchasing the [Memory Archive] from the [System Mall] requires 100 points.
It’s hard to find people like Armagnac, Reina Mizuno and others, so it’s unrealistic to brush characters.
This made Kawakamiji couldn't help but think about another way to obtain character points: "changing the established destiny of key characters."
"The Evil God"
And how to do this, Kawakamiji has no clue.
The term "predetermined destiny" is completely outrageous.
No one's fate can be predicted - except for one thing, everyone dies. From this point of view...
Kawakami's imagination is wide open: Maybe he can find a way to research APTX4869 and then feed one pill to all key figures?
As for APTX4869, although "Obviously" Tsuyoshi Kawakami has not conducted research on this drug, the information has been in his hands.
According to Kawakami Tsumugi's character...if he didn't take the opportunity to do something, he would be sorry for himself.
Therefore, in private, he still took the time to take a look at this medicine.
Although all the mice who took the medicine died, Kawakami still guessed the effect of the medicine based on the ingredients of the medicine and his understanding of the gentleman: immortality.
This is the goal of the ultimate villain in many comics. From this perspective, that gentleman is quite following the crowd.
Ah...getting back to the subject, he can give everyone a pill of the successfully researched "elixir of immortality" and change everyone's destined fate of death.
Tsk, let’s not consider the feasibility for now. Maybe, like the “Oedipus King” in Greek mythology, trying every possible means to avoid it will play into the hands of fate...
Although he didn't come up with a solution, Kawakami was very happy with his ideas.
Because he successfully entertained himself, he was not particularly depressed.
"No matter what, the boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge."
