Chapter 492
Wrath and Greed: The Second Mission Walkthrough
After Aoyagi Akimitsu left the hotel, his night truly began to get busy.
His main body hadn't gone too far. This small city, with its predominantly elderly population, was deserted at night. He casually found a fairly open spot, summoned the snake, changed into the women's clothing and shoes he had stored inside the snake's belly, and returned to the inn.
Morofushi Kagemitsu was even more perceptive than he had imagined. Not long after he returned to the town, the unlucky fellow he had chosen woken up, saw him, and quickly chased after him.
Aoyagi Akimitsu led him directly to the city hall, the place where people register for marriage in Japan. He knocked him unconscious, injected him with diluted muscle relaxant, and then found a marriage registration form to fill out.
Japanese law stipulates that married couples can share the same surname. Aoyagi Akimitsu took a few seconds to think carefully and decided to let Morofushi Kagemitsu take his surname, and stamped the form.
Aoyagi Akimitsu looked at the registration form, feeling quite pleased. He took a picture and sent it to Tani, also reminding her to find someone nearby to quickly send her newlywed husband to the organization's base prison.
As usual, Gu Shao did not comment on his behavior.
[Greed: I've already notified them; they should be here in about ten minutes.]
[Furious: Thank you for your help.]
[Furious: Where is Gin now?]
Without much hesitation, Gu Shao gave the approximate location, direction of travel, and current speed.
Gin usually tries to avoid surveillance, but even he can't escape the watchful eye of an eagle flying high in the sky, whose genes have been mixed with those of other species, giving it exceptional night vision.
As Aoyagi Akimitsu was estimating the distance from here to that vicinity, Tani no Sho's next words popped out.
[Greed: I'm near the base.]
[Furious: Please wait a little longer, the clone probably hasn't finished dealing with Ireland yet.]
【greedy:?】
[Greed: ...When did you become so slow at killing people?]
[Furious: Just wait a little while, I promise I won't be late for my date with the lady.]
[Furious: Once we're inside the base, we'll communicate by phone. Also, could you please hack the surveillance cameras again? No need to modify the footage, just change the sound or mute it.]
His main body and his clone act together, while Tani Sho can only follow one of them. Considering her passive skill, only her main body can rescue Morofushi Kagemitsu, while her clone joins her.
Greed: Understood.
Aoyagi Akimitsu ended the conversation and put his phone back. As he walked out of the city hall, he saw his serpent sculpture fall from the sky.
He knew that its paws were now coated with numbing cream, so instead of raising his arm as usual, he gave it the next command directly.
“Edogawa Conan will be here soon.” He had already heard the unusual sound of Morofushi Kagemitsu’s shoes as he ran. “Go attack him and inject the medicine from your claws into his body.”
"—Be careful, attack from behind, don't let him see you."
The serpent eagle nodded as if it understood human nature, then flapped its wings and flew away again.
Aoyagi Akimitsu watched it leave and quickly headed to where Gin was.
As he walked through the forest, he heard a faint roar, and a faint smell of blood filled the air. He knew what it was, but paid it no heed and continued on his way to his destination.
After he left in a hurry, his clone, Aoyagi Akimitsu, who was staying in the forest, seemed to sense something and glanced in the direction he left.
He lowered his head again, looking down at the people at his feet.
He then regained his original appearance, and in the moonlight, his handsome face beamed with a genuine smile. At this moment, he was even happier than his original self, who had just gotten married.
“That’s really good,” he whispered. “It’s even better than I expected… Don’t you agree, Ireland?” The man lying on the ground was no longer able to answer the question.
His expression was extremely ferocious. Even with his last bit of strength, he could only move his eyeballs before his head completely fell off.
Aoyagi Akimitsu bent down, took out the knife he had just seized from the organization member, and cut off the remaining right hand from his body. The wound was quite clean.
He quickly cleaned up the blood from the cut and transferred the relatively light "small item" to his main body. Having done this, he used the ring to open the group chat and headed towards the location given to him by the Valley Sheath.
……
While the main body and Gin were having a friendly chat, Tani and Aoyagi Akimitsu's clones successfully met at the other end of the base.
Gu Qiao was cautious; she neither used Glenn's appearance nor reverted to her original form, but instead disguised herself as an envoy who had been recently transferred here.
She took out her phone and hacked into the surveillance footage. She originally wanted to ask Aoyagi Binko if it was okay for him to go in so openly without any disguise, but then she remembered that his clone couldn't be filmed.
Thinking of this, Gu Shao subconsciously looked at Qingliu Binguang and saw him take something out of his pocket and intend to press it on the palm print reader by the door. She was stunned and immediately stopped him.
"What are you doing?" she asked, slightly annoyed.
"Try to see if the severed hand can unlock the identification system for the main body," Aoyagi Akimitsu said. "Didn't I tell you that when I took Pramia's severed hand?"
Gu Shao remained expressionless: "I already answered you then. Once an organization member dies, their recorded identity will be immediately cancelled."
"Really? Maybe I didn't hear you clearly."
Aoyagi Akimitsu recalled the situation; he was trying to prevent her from tearing him off her, and he really didn't hear clearly. He was quite regretful and planned to find a trash can to throw it away later.
"Can the severed hand be identified?" he asked again.
Gu Shao raised her hand and pressed it on the identifier, and the door in front of her slowly opened.
The surveillance had been compromised beforehand, and she quickly erased the record of the door opening, so no one in the base noticed their arrival.
She put on her Bluetooth headset, stepped inside first, and answered to both sides: "The new bases built in recent years won't work, but this old base that hasn't had its equipment updated will."
Gu Shao paused for a moment, then continued, "Next time you have a question, you can ask me first, instead of trying it yourself."
Aoyagi Akira opened his mouth to say "Okay," but when he opened it, no sound came out.
“…I’ll try my best,” he said, dissatisfied.
Gu Shao glanced at him but said nothing.
There weren't many people in the base to begin with, and Aoyagi Akimitsu had released mist particles to scout ahead, so they could openly wander around inside until their main bodies entered the base. Only then did they head towards the monitoring room, and they managed to avoid being discovered by anyone during this time.
Gu Shao listened to what the main body was saying through the earphone to judge the progress on the other side, while paying attention to the surrounding situation. She noticed that Aoyagi Akihiro next to her stopped walking, so she stopped as well.
Four bodyguards stood at the entrance to the monitoring room, all standing with their hands at their sides, even their heads bowed at the same angle, like four lifeless puppets.
A corpse lay between them. Aoyagi Akira looked at it and realized it was one of Rum's bodyguards. It seemed he was the second-generation member of the organization who hadn't been replaced by Gu Shao.
“It seems Rum has already gone down,” he said.
He had used the mist particles to survey the base a few days ago and knew its layout perfectly. He knew that below this monitoring room was the most confidential room in the entire base, the storage room for drug data.
And this was his second purpose in framing Rum. (End of Chapter)
