It's still dark.
Kawakamiji yawned and reluctantly opened his eyes. He stared blankly at the sapphire blue sky. At this time, the stars were sparse, the horizon was fish-belly white, and there was a waning moon as thin as a dragonfly's wings on the horizon.
After chatting with the Mad Hatter for a long time, Kawakami basically stayed up all night, but at five o'clock he still found a park bench and lay down for a while, but he woke up at six-thirty.
After all the calculations, Kawakamiji only slept for an hour and a half.
"I'm literally living on the edge of sudden death..." the gray-haired young man murmured. He almost unconsciously took out a lemon candy from his pocket, peeled it open, and ate it.
[Actually, isn’t this normal for you? 】The Mad Hatter said in his head.
[Okay, shut up, or I will turn off your permission. 】Kawakamiji responded unceremoniously.
In yesterday's game with the Mad Hatter, Kawakami realized one thing: in addition to sensing the movements of the system, the Mad Hatter can communicate with Kawakami at any time, and even share the field of vision with him - but Kawakami needs to Ji takes the initiative to grant permissions.
There is no need to be formal, just give permission verbally. The reason why I was able to communicate directly in my brain before was because Kawakami Tsumugi unconsciously gave him permission.
To be honest, it's best to return to the organization's stronghold now. Kawakamiji has been out there for too long. In fact, after discovering his absence last night, Gin sent an email asking where Kawakami Tsumugi had died.
Kawakami Tsumugi kept putting off replying, and took a photo around five o'clock, telling Gin that he was wandering around outside, and then Gin stopped paying attention to him.
During this period, the gentleman and Gin had not contacted him, and seemed to be quite relieved about him.
But I don’t want to go back...Kawakamiji felt that the park bench was quite comfortable. Moreover, Gin might arrange some annoying tasks for him after he returns.
So Kawakami continued to chat with the Mad Hatter:
[To be honest, you didn’t reveal much information. To summarize, there are only three pieces:
First, I am indeed a time-traveler, but you don’t know why I time-traveled and what happened before I time-traveled. Second, you don’t know the specific situation about the key figures and the so-called changing of the established destiny, and you even need to experiment step by step. ; Third, for some reason, apart from hacking skills, you can't play a big role. 】
The Mad Hatter was also a little helpless:
[To be honest, you should also be able to feel that the current system is incomplete, and I am equivalent to the subsystem that the system was separated from before it was incomplete, and I know only a limited number of things. 】
【So what's the use of you. 】Kawakamiji's face was full of indifference, and he ate another lemon candy.
[Don’t be so mean...at least I helped you clarify some information. For example, key characters can only identify those from the opposing camp, that is, characters who are in opposition to the winery or will be in opposition in the future.
I don't know exactly what kind of person will be identified, but one thing is that you have to meet, and they have to match 'Kawakami Tsumugi' with you. 】
Even if they are in the opposite camp, Tsumugi Kawakami encounters as many as eight hundred traitor undercover agents, but only a few are actually identified; as for the need to confront the number, Kawakami Tsumugi has figured it out from the wave.
[The way to obtain character points is to deepen the impression of key people on the camp you belong to. To put it more simply, it is to make them realize that you are a villain loyal to the winery. 】
The Mad Hatter continued in his mind,
[As for changing the established fate of key characters, the main purpose should be to keep people who are about to die alive. As for what is going on with this predetermined fate...
It is very likely that this world is a written script, and everyone's destiny will move along the established track, and we can only make small changes. 】
Kawakamiji shook his head: [I don’t believe in fate. 】
【This is a good thing. 】
The gray-haired young man closed his eyes. At this time, the light had begun to become stronger. The sky was diluted and turned into a pleasant bluish blue. Morning arrived as promised.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
In other words, people like him who live in darkness are no longer suitable to lie here. Once pedestrians take to the streets, monopolizing a bench will affect the appearance of the city. The gray-haired young man does not intend to become a unique landscape in this way.
Just like Kawakamiji thought before, the system provides two completely opposite channels for obtaining character points:
Gaining character points through key figures means that Kawakami needs to work hard to do evil in front of the traitors in the winery; obtaining character points through tasks means that Kawakami needs to help them.
Judging from the amount of character points, "changing the established destiny" should be the main purpose of the system. It is probably just to attract his attention through the key characters. If the system asks him to perform tasks as soon as it comes up, Kawakami will definitely ignore it.
[By the way, Mad Hatter...] Tsumugi Kawakami suddenly thought of something, [I spent so much money buying information from you before - now that we have a showdown, can I use you as a free search engine in the future? ? 】
【……Can. ] The Mad Hatter replied, [Then that test about rye you mentioned——]
【etc. ] Kawakami Tsumugi suddenly interrupted the Mad Hatter, [The chat has come to an end, someone is coming. 】
…………
The people coming are from Scotland.
Kawakami didn't see him, but recognized his white car. When the organization member parked the car in front of him, Kawakami slowly and reluctantly sat up from the recliner and let himself go. It doesn't look that undisciplined.
"What are you doing?" Scotland asked, he got out of the driver's seat and walked to the gray-haired young man.
"Ah, as you can see, sleeping on the street."
Kawakamiji put on his habitual smile, patted the non-existent ashes on his body, and didn't forget to pick up his lemon candy, "Why are you here? Do you have any mission in Scotland?"
"Gin sent me a photo and asked me to come find you." Scotland said, "To be honest, I looked for it for a long time because there were no landmarks in the photo."
This is not a lie. Kawakami just took a look at Scotland's car and could tell from the heat dissipation that it had indeed been used for a long time. The unnatural wrinkles on Scotland's clothes showed that he must have driven non-stop to find him after he woke up. .
Kawakami almost said, "You can actually contact me directly," but suddenly thought that outside of the mission, there is currently no contact information for Kashasha in Scotland.
"So your mission is to find me?"
"Get in the car." Scotland said without answering Kawakami's question.
Kawakami Tsuyoshi was happy to have someone pick him up, otherwise it would have taken him a while to walk back to the organization's stronghold. There was heating in the car, and when the gray-haired young man sat down in the passenger seat, he realized belatedly that he was as cold as ice.
This is very strange. No matter how cold it is, Kawakami Tsumugi won't feel cold as long as he is thoroughly frozen, but as soon as he comes into contact with the heater, he can't help but shiver.
Seeing this, Scotland turned up the heating one more degree: "Did you really just wear a single piece of clothing and sleep on the bench all night?"
In fact, he didn't sleep much. Kawakami was high all night and ate half of the lemon candies he bought, but Scotland's summary was also correct.
So Kawakami replied: "Any questions?"
Scotland glanced at Kawakami Tsumugi, seemingly choked by the gray-haired young man's confident attitude.
After a few seconds of silence, the organization member said:
"Even if... you're in a bad mood or for some other reason, don't make fun of your body, Kawakami Tsumugi."
