Chapter 1076: Frugal Kumer
"What's wrong, Chris, are you feeling unwell?"
Christina, rubbing her arm silently, withdrew her gaze from the street below, turned her head to look at Muranaka Tsutomu who was approaching, and put on her usual smile before she spoke.
Since the failure of the direct confrontation with Goro Akechi and being forced to resort to the backup plan, and the exposure of the so-called "Pramya is threatening Christina", her freedom has been further restricted, and she has become almost unable to confirm the situation in the outside world.
First, he failed to kill Furuya Rei, then his personal freedom was restricted by a few light-hearted inferences, and now, he has even been forced to live under complete surveillance, a path that is called protection but is actually no different from imprisonment...
And the culprits are all very young people.
Pramiya was very irritable, so irritable that she could hardly control her disguise. Before she spoke each time, she had to remind herself to put on a smile to prevent her true emotions from spilling out from the cracks in her skin.
"No, I just think... even at this time, this place is still beautiful."
She raised her left hand and pressed it on the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the crowded crowd and light and shadow below, with a smile on her lips.
It is indeed beautiful, like a bud about to bloom, with an anticipatory joy that is about to bloom...
"It was foggy during the last exercise, but now that the weather has cleared up here, it's surprisingly beautiful..."
Kogoro Mori, who was standing aside, echoed.
The smile on Christina's face faded slightly.
The younger ones are like criminals, and the older ones are not much better.
"Thank you so much, Detective Maori. We have to ask you to take the time out to accompany us to inspect the scene and discuss the process..." She was in a bad mood because her enjoyment was interrupted. She could only reluctantly continue to maintain her "fan persona" and answered in a supportive manner.
"No, no, this is what a detective should do..."
Looking at this beautiful face, Kogoro Mori immediately revealed an attentive smile that seemed somewhat flattering.
Christina, who was familiar with this kind of gaze from men, smiled politely and slowly withdrew her gaze.
He's another easy-to-control, typical man who used to be a policeman. He doesn't pose any threat, so forget it.
The smile on Kogoro Mouri's face remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her soft profile.
He did not forget the message that Oleg, with a heavy expression, brought to him.
"Our members have come to Japan from all over the world and are now gathered in Shibuya, precisely to stop and capture Pramya. This may be our last chance. Pramya rarely makes any public announcements, but according to the intelligence I gathered when I snatched this tablet last time, this person has created a very plausible identity for himself and is preparing to retire with the money he has accumulated over the years... Once we miss this opportunity, he will completely disappear into the darkness. We can't afford to lose."
Oleg, who did not act with his sister, temporarily lost contact with his companions. When he said this, his tone was particularly heavy.
"Too many of us have almost completely destroyed our lives with death and revenge. In order to catch him and kill him, we are willing to pay any price... even our lives. Please don't try to convince me or stop me on this point."
Retirement, a reasonable identity...
Wedding, Shibuya Threat...
After all, it seems reasonable that a man about to retire would want to create one last havoc.
But why Christina?
Why was she targeted, since she hadn’t revealed anything in her past testimony that could reveal Pramya’s true identity?
----
Hearing the noise behind her, Erenica turned around vigilantly.
What they saw was not the "Jinpei Matsuda" or anyone else who attacked them at that time, but a woman wearing a black robe and a red mask on her face.
Shimabukuro Kimie glanced at them from behind the fox mask. The golden lines on the mask flashed in the light. She said nothing, but silently put down the box in her hand.
Elenika observed for a moment, walked forward and opened the box.
What was inside was not what she had imagined, something to threaten her, but a simple medical kit, a map in Russian, and... a box of bullets.
The same caliber as her own gun.
Elenika raised her eyelids.
"...You guys don't seem to be prepared to stop me."
It took a lot of effort and a lot of twists and turns for this group of people to enter Japan.
Although most people landed through normal entry procedures, there were always people who brought in the parts that could not pass through customs normally.
This part naturally includes firearms and various controlled knives.
They are not a gentle faction. They are very radical and vengeful people who are willing to use all kinds of violence to physically destroy Pramya. They cannot do this without their own weapons.
This group of unknown people who had captured their entire team did not make any blackmail or demands after some simple communication. Instead, they provided such support, which caught Erenica completely off guard.
——Of course, most of them conceded that what happened in Noah’s Theater before was just a dream they had in the excitement, and they had no idea what had happened to them.
"What should we do to stop you?" Shimabukuro Kimie smiled, "Pramya is also our enemy. It's just that our leader thinks that your actions are too reckless and will alert the enemy, so he took the initiative to help you hide and prevent you from ruining our plan. There's no need to thank you, just do what you want to do."
Elenica, who had no intention of saying thank you, said: "..."
"It's good to have a strong will, but please don't hurt innocent people. This is his only request, just consider it as a thank you for temporarily protecting you for two days. If you go against his wishes and hurt others later, he will let you know what the price is."
After conveying this, Shimabukuro Kimie did not intend to explain anything further. She turned around and left the room.
Erenika waited for a few seconds, and when she saw that she just opened the door and left without looking back, she realized that this meant the conversation was over and she could leave.
She stood up in a daze, walked out the door, and then saw other companions with similar expressions in the corridor.
The rest of the team was here too, apparently housed in adjacent rooms.
Considering the decent accommodation, this is more like a single room dormitory than a prison...
"…Where are we going now?"
Seeing that it was Eilenika, everyone else seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had found their backbone, and slowly gathered in her direction.
Elenika observed the environment for a while, confirmed that the mysterious group of people did not appear again, and counted the number of people.
No one is missing, everyone is here.
"What a bunch of weird guys..." Erenika shook her head and muttered to herself, touching the holster she had tucked on her waist. She looked more relaxed than she thought.
Halloween was approaching, and Pramya might react suddenly at any time, but she felt an unknown calmness in her heart, as if something dry, fierce, and choking that had been burning inside her had finally calmed down.
"Erenica, look at this."
A man who was checking a resource box in his hand that was similar to the one that Erenika received took out a map, flipped it a few times, immediately found something wrong, and showed it to Erenika.
On this detailed tourist map, a building in Shibuya is circled in red with a small flame symbol.
"'Pramya' (flame)..." Erenikha narrowed her eyes and straightened her body again.
It's not time to rest yet, they still have too much to do.
“No matter what these people are going to do, we have only one goal.” Her voice became steady again. “Let’s go before they change their minds.”
There was a slight commotion among the crowd, and they quickly accepted the idea of this prestigious leader and followed her down the corridor towards the open door.
Zhu Fujingguang, who had just returned to the monitor, watched this group of people squeeze out from the narrow door at the end of the corridor as if they were going out of the wind, and walked out. He turned his head and looked at Tang Ze with an incredible expression.
"Placing the civilian avengers who were hunting down Pramya in the organization's training ground... Should I say your operation is creative?"
And he brought all the members of the Phantom Thieves with him.
This was not the base he was familiar with during his lifetime, but as he opened doors one by one with a stern face to deliver supplies to people, he still couldn't help feeling that something was wrong and he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Our identities are easy to explain, and I think it makes sense to the organization as well," Xingchuan Hui rolled his eyes as he tore off his dark robe, "but you can come up with such an outrageous way of development. Sometimes I really want to open your head and see what it looks like..."
He quietly opened the door, put down the supplies and orders, and left...
Although his identity is completely different now, and even if he really enters the training ground, he is no longer the same person as before, it still does not prevent Xingchuan Hui from having a strong sense of déjà vu, so much so that his scalp still feels numb.
"What's wrong? The organization wants me to deal with Pramia and stop her plan, but it didn't say that I have to use the organization's own forces." Tang Ze glanced at him, with a matter-of-fact look on his face, "Look, I just gave them a few supply packages without spending a penny, and found a group of mercenaries who don't care about their lives and just want to kill Pramia. Where can I find such code members who can save the organization money?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Matsuda Jinpei, who was drinking water, couldn't hold it in and started choking and coughing.
"…The supply packages are also provided by the organization." Miyano Akemi reminded in a low voice.
"If they don't use it, it will go to waste. It will just pile up in the warehouse. I'll help them use some of it, which can be regarded as assisting in the rational circulation and renewal of materials." Tang Ze spoke without any psychological burden.
Just like what Zhu Fujingguang described, this is indeed a training ground.
Tang Ze didn't even spend the effort to instruct Noah to isolate the information, although he knew that Noah would instinctively keep the information confidential for safety reasons.
There's nothing I can do, everything just happens so naturally.
The reason why Tang Ze knocked out and controlled this team was not because he had any other doubts about them, but mainly because he was worried that they would be too active and attract the attention of the organization, which would also ruin his plan.
Having courage is a good thing, but judging from the failed trap three years ago, this group of people lacks practical experience, and their plans are too idealistic, which can easily lead to undesirable consequences.
Although he can handle the situation even if it happens, it is better to solve things in advance.
This is no longer a problem. After going through this process, this team has suddenly become the chess pieces carefully selected by Kumail, which is equivalent to turning their identities into regular ones. Of course, the organization will no longer have any objections.
"They will definitely create trouble for Pramiya in their own way. And this is all we need."
Standing up from in front of the surveillance camera, Tang Ze made a gesture.
So when he walked out of the monitoring room and left the organization's base, he was alone again.
"Everything is ready, except for the east wind. All that's left is the final opening. Now, I only have one question left about Pramya."
As if talking to himself, Tang Ze said this as he walked.
"She wants to kill the police officers she met in the past, and she wants to kill all the Avengers who are chasing her, as well as any bits of information they have collected about her... These are all very reasonable ideas, I mean, for her."
Passing through the pitch-black exit and out of the gloomy underground passage, Tangze stepped over the pipes, pushed open the door, and returned to the world of light.
The noisy voices were overwhelming.
This is Shibuya, and also, Miyashita Park.
This was the base mentioned in the plan by Shuichi Akai and Rena Mizunashi that gave him a reasonable reason to appear in Miyashita Park - the organization had a base nearby.
It is a very reasonable arrangement to place this team in this place.
Both for themselves and for the organization.
"I'm tired of repeating the question of whether she is an antisocial bastard. My real question is..."
Passing by the iconic statue in Miyashita Park, Karasawa stood on the crowded streets of Shibuya, raised his head and looked at the tall buildings that soared into the sky.
Behind those mirror-like glasses, there is a pair of resentful eyes, looking at this still peaceful world.
Tang Ze took out his cell phone and leaned back.
Amid the gentle sound of the navigation system starting up, he disappeared under the shade of the trees.
"…She had already planned her attack long ago, so why did she threaten Muranaka Nu and deliberately link her 'wedding' to Pramya? This was actually a completely unnecessary step."
Raising his head again, Tang Ze looked at the street in front of him which had a completely new decoration style and stretched his joints.
"So the next task is... to figure this out, and then smash this place to pieces."
