Kawakami's foot slipped and he almost fell from the top floor of the hospital.
He clung to the wall on the right and stood up, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart - places like rooftops basically have iron bars, but in order to better understand the feeling of being cold at high places, Kawakami decided to Ji stood on the railing.
[Hiss——mad hatter, what’s going on? 】
The gray-haired young man rubbed his eyebrows through his glasses.
Under the bright yet temperatureless sunshine, the Ferris wheel in the distance rotates slowly. The black and white comic paper in front of Kawakami's eyes has slowly disappeared, and only the shadow representing the explosion still remains, beating on his retinas persistently.
[Hmm... The system just released the third mission, and the target is Matsuda Jinpei. 】
The Mad Hatter said dryly, as if the system had nothing to do with his AI, which was dependent on the system.
In fact, including the two FBI, this should be the fifth mission, but they invariably ignored this.
[The third mission? I know, but thank you for repeating it. ] Kawakami Tsumugi stuffed another lemon candy into his mouth.
[And the Ferris wheel exploded. Did Curly Hair die on the Ferris wheel? 】
[Tsk, I can’t tell... This guy couldn’t have been killed by some pretty girl while dating. 】
Of course, Kawakamiji was joking. Although according to the rules of the Miwa Town incident, it is not impossible for this kind of thing to happen.
Although the system only displays one screen when releasing the task, it reveals a lot of information.
If it is consistent with his first guess, Matsuda Jinpei died in the carriage of the Ferris wheel:
A simple bomb can be dismantled directly. If it cannot be dismantled, it can be placed in a place like a Ferris wheel, moved to a high altitude and allowed to explode, and it can be disposed of harmlessly...
Balance bar? Pressure sensitive device? Something like a Ferris wheel that rotates at any time has a high probability of being accidentally triggered, unless the person installing the bomb intends to open a blind box.
Under normal circumstances it should be an ordinary bomb.
In other words, to dismantle such a bomb, no one should be killed due to emotion or reason.
Unless the bomb disposal guy had a reason to be in that compartment.
Trapped, or do you have a hostage? Kawakami has already thought of five or six scenarios.
But it doesn’t have to be a Ferris wheel. The pictures displayed when the system releases tasks are only related to the development of the characters.
Armagnac died in a warehouse rather than a tavern. If he hadn't intervened, Scotland would have died on a rooftop instead of a station.
"Tsk, I suddenly feel like I don't want to get involved... I'm not familiar with that guy." The gray-haired young man murmured, "Is this why I was given 50 more character points?"
"150 character points... actually more than Scotland and Armagnac. Is that Curly an important person? I really can't tell."
According to Kawakami Tsumugi's vision, even if Matsuda Jinpei is a key figure, he currently only occupies an important supporting role in the story.
After all, he has nothing to do with the organization, and both Scotland and Armagnac are actually lurking in the organization.
[No, it’s not necessarily the importance of the character, it should be related to... well, assuming this is a script, then the Ferris wheel will be a very crucial scene. 】
Faced with this question, the Mad Hatter answered in a hesitant manner.
After looking at the Ferris wheel for a few more times, Kawakami decided to go down from the rooftop first: it was almost time for the Tokyo community animal to go to work, and although he was on a high ground, there was still a possibility of being seen by others.
"Forget it, let's reluctantly give him a chance to be sacked. It's time to go back, there are still many things to deal with."
The gray-haired young man jumped from the edge of the building.
…………
After Scotland's shot went off, the two seemed to be estranged again. At least the gray-haired young man refused to have breakfast with Scotland. Instead, he sat on the sofa and tapped on the keyboard with flying fingers.
Tsumugi Kawakami is browsing the organization's task list.
It would be best if he could find a mission near the Ferris wheel, which would make his action trajectory more legitimate. The level should not be too high, otherwise approval would take time. He had to get the permission within an hour...
Well, it looks like you're lucky.
The gray-haired young man thought for a few seconds, filled in his name on the application form, and then asked his partner:
"Scotland, are you interested in accompanying me on a mission?"
"What mission?"
"I'm more interested in using evidence that a certain company boss made false accounts to threaten him to do things for us." Kawakami explained, "I just walked around after the task was completed."
"Send me the time and I'll go with you." Scotland said.
"Right now." The gray-haired young man smiled.
The time for the mission itself is very generous. It is considered an important but not urgent mission. If Gin is done, he will probably run it again after finishing all the murders and arson at hand.
The reason why it was set at the present time was because Kawakami felt something was slightly wrong.
No evidence, just intuition.
The system has already given such an obvious clue as the Ferris wheel. According to Kawakami Tsumugi's ability and the Mad Hatter's assistance, they can get the required information in half an hour at most. You can even sit back and wait at the Ferris wheel.
If this is the case, this task is not difficult at all.
Comparing the previous two times, Kawakami always felt that the system could not give such clear information so easily, unless the Ferris wheel was not the place where Matsuda was in danger, or...
Things were happening, and he didn't have time to check information or plan the plan step by step.
If it's the former, it doesn't hurt to go on this mission. If it's the latter, it's important to get to the scene in time.
"Now?" Scotland was stunned, "Then I'll go get ready."
"You don't need to bring a sniper rifle, just something for daily self-defense." The gray-haired young man said leisurely.
Watching Scotland's back disappear behind the bedroom door, Kawakami took out his mobile phone and began to race against time to browse the information that the Mad Hatter had collected.
It actually saves time to go directly, but it’s not necessary.
If you want to plan an explosion in a busy city, it won't be effective if you do it too early, so you have plenty of time. What's more, Kawakami was carrying a lot of bottles and cans, and he didn't have all the self-defense items on him, so it was not convenient for him to move around, so it was a better choice to come back.
Kawakami was a little surprised that Scotland would agree so simply. It made him feel slightly guilty for two seconds about what he was about to do.
Even seeing him, this guy couldn't help but draw his gun... According to Kawakami Tsumugi's deduction, Scotland and Matsuda Jinpei should know each other, and maybe they have a good relationship.
How will Scotland react then?
Kawakami admitted that he was curious.
……………
It started, time was more urgent than Kawakami thought.
In order to better observe the situation, he left the driving to Scotland. After driving on the road, he keenly noticed that something was wrong:
The traffic flow has become bloated and has not slowed down completely. There is a traffic restriction in front of me, and there seems to be a faint sound of police sirens further away.
Kawakami closed his eyes briefly as he recalled this area of the map.
If we use the Ferris wheel as the center to evacuate the crowd and restrict the flow of traffic, we need...
"Scotland, turn around."
"What's wrong?"
The gray-haired young man smiled and ate a lemon candy, shook his head, indicating that it was not an emergency:
"It's just a trivial matter. There is a traffic restriction in front of you. It seems that there are a lot of hiccups in this mission - Scotland, park the car at the next intersection and I will drive."
