"Xiu, Sera and the girl who was traveling with her have already been picked. We bid late."
Judy said in the communication.
Rye Whiskey looked at the picture forwarded by Judy in silence.
His sister didn't seem to have suffered much, but she was pale and had heavy circles under her eyes. The other girl, who was pale, walked purposefully around the edge of the place.
"Can you find out their specific location? Or who is the buyer?" Rye Whiskey asked, "And the girl who struck up a conversation, we don't rule out the possibility that she is an accomplice of the criminal."
Emotionally he was still anxious, but even though his sister was still in danger, Rye Whiskey's mind was relieved. This rationality allows rye whiskey to abandon the influence of all emotional factors.
From this situation, it seems that it was not the organization that caught him and took Sera Masumi away, but that Sera Masumi was unlucky and was targeted by other criminals in Yoneka Town.
In other words, Scotland and Bourbon did not reveal the fact that the little girl they met on the platform called him brother.
For now, no.
Based on Bourbon's character, he would probably hide information secretly, confirm the importance of Masumi Sera to him, and then take the opportunity to blackmail him.
As for Scotch... Rye found that he could not predict the other party's behavior, and looking at the cat-eyed young man from the perspective of a year ago was obviously outdated.
In fact, as an elder brother, what he should do most is to inform his mother, Akai Marie, as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this option only flashed in Rye's mind for a few seconds before being passed over.
No anti-theft
As far as he knew, his mother had been tracking down the traces of his father, Akai Mutake, in various countries, and he was probably no longer in Japan. Water from afar could not quench the thirst of the nearer, so there was no point in telling her.
"Uh... our technician said the location is Japan. He doesn't know the specific location. The buyer's information cannot be disclosed."
Judy said slightly guiltily,
"But that girl, named Yoko Fukaya, is an ordinary Japanese girl according to the information."
The buyer's information cannot be disclosed? Rye Whiskey raised his eyebrows and quickly caught the point.
"Judy, you said before that technicians found them on Island, an emerging dark network around the world. Island officially appeared less than a year ago, and people in the FBI know very little about it."
Rye whiskey calmly points out the point,
"The wording you just said, 'the buyer's information cannot be disclosed', is more like the perspective of the criminal. Moreover, they can be found in such a short time on the dark web where it is difficult to trace information. To be honest, it is a bit beyond our current situation. The level of technical staff is high.”
While expressing his opinion, Rye Whiskey continued to watch the video.
In the video, Masumi Sera and Yoko Fukaya chose to sit down on the sofa after exploring the venue. Eventually, another young woman was chosen to be an exhibit in the transaction.
"So, what is the identity of the so-called 'our technical staff' in this case?"
…………
"It sounds like we have been booked by someone..." Yoko Fukaya also reacted. She said anxiously, "Will we be like that corpse?"
Sera Masumi shook her head, not knowing who she was persuading:
"No, didn't he say... we two can't do it?"
The ones who ordered Kawakami Tsumugi and Sera Masumi should be Port, the bald social beast of the organization's network department. Kawakami Tsumugi had crossed paths with him before because of the Mad Hatter. In this mission, Porter participated as intelligence foreign aid.
The advantage of the dark web is that no one knows the details of each other. As long as the technology is too high, it is not difficult for Port Wine to replace the identity of a high-level customer.
As for the money spent on booking Kashasha and Sera Masumi, the organization will naturally reimburse them.
After preliminary exploration of the venue, Masumi Sera and Yoko Fukaya sat down on the sofa. They spent an uneasy ten minutes until the masked man announced the name of the chosen one through the loudspeaker.
It was another young woman named Miori Nakaho.
Dressed plainly, she looked like an ordinary person you could see on the street: with a job, a place to live, and probably a family and children. If I hadn't been tied to this place, I might never have known about such a dark transaction in the world for the rest of my life.
Nakaba Miori suddenly screamed.
She ran aimlessly in the huge venue, then fell to the ground, twitching horribly. The masked man suddenly appeared and took the poor chosen man away.
Then there was a suffocating silence.
Until someone didn't know who said: "It seems we are safe."
This sentence put an end to the silence, and everyone relaxed and began to do their own things.
…………
What is the identity of a technician?
Judy was not easy to answer this question because her boss James Blake had given an order not to tell Shuichi Akai the real situation.
"Since Akai has guessed it, let's tell him." James Blake, who was in the audience, said.
"In fact, it was Sailor, the founder of the legendary darknet island, who took the initiative to contact us and facilitated our technical staff. He said... this darknet was his mistake, and he wanted to end this mistake." Judy said, "We don't know any other information."
"Did they only find us?"
Rye Whiskey asked. He was not disturbed by the news about sailor, because naturally others would check it out. Why the hacker contacted them is more noteworthy.
"We also contacted... agencies from almost all countries, including the Japanese Public Security Bureau." Judy said, "In fact, they are currently investigating Sera Masumi's case. That's why we can get the information so quickly."
"So the police know that we take this case seriously?" Rye suddenly had a bad feeling.
…………
"How could they do this?" Sera Masumi murmured, "They actually feel safe."
She was shocked by the indifference of these people.
Just now, the masked man dragged away a woman in full view of the public, but the other victims did not show any anger or sadness.
To be honest, this is normal. But Tsumugi Kawakami suddenly felt the desire to express his feelings.
"Any idea of the best way to torture a drowning man?"
Fukaya Yoko said softly,
"Give them a straw, but that straw is not strong enough to get them out of the river. They can barely keep themselves from being washed away."
"If you go down the river, you might be able to try your luck and survive, but with that straw, the drowning person will remain in that half-dead state and use up all his strength in the wash of the water."
Sera Masumi didn't expect that Yoko Fukaya would still have the time to summarize the analogy at this time. It sounded like she was as calm as those indifferent onlookers.
But Sera Masumi noticed that the other person's brown eyes were full of solidified sadness. This shows that Yoko Fukaya is not as calm as she seems.
Sera Masumi suddenly felt the same sense of sadness. She clenched her fists but was powerless.
At this moment, the glass in front of them changed, and they suddenly saw the scenery outside:
It was also a room without windows, but very bright. On the wall on the left side of the room... there was a wall full of torture instruments fixed.
The masked man turned his back to them and fixed Nakaba Miori, who was taken away, on an iron cross.
"Everyone, the show has begun." The masked man announced loudly.
