……
The above is the mission that Futaba received after entering the game. It's just different from Mu Xuejian's [Strike of Outliers]. The content of this mission, which is slightly higher in quality, is very simple, and there is no penalty for failure. At first glance At first glance, it may even make people feel that it is quite loose in every aspect.
But... this is an illusion, a big illusion, a proper illusion!
Admittedly, at first glance, this task does not seem to have any hard requirements, and Futaba's current status is relatively favorable, but if you read [tanuki]'s work log carefully, you will find that her current situation is actually It's very serious, even more serious than Mu Xuejian's!
If you think about it carefully, a 'fine' quality mission should be more difficult than an 'excellent' quality mission, and with the system... whether it is the main system of Innocence Realm or the updated system With Ji's level, it is impossible to make mistakes in this regard.
So what exactly is the difficulty of this task?
First of all, there is the prerequisite, that is, the item 'Futaba's character panel is replaced by [Raccoon]'. This is the basis of everything and an important puzzle piece that constitutes the basic logic system of this battle. It is the same as Mu Xuejian's restriction. The core of it is that they are unable to fully exert their strength. However, compared to Mu Xuejian, Futaba is more severely constrained because [Raccoon Dog], who was crippled by [Snake] once in the past, has become an ordinary person. .
Although it does not hinder daily life, it will never be able to fight, let alone protect its own 'ordinary people'.
From Futaba's point of view, [Snake] seems to want to use this method to forcibly remove [Raccoon Dog] from the front line. After all, in the world view of the Innocence World, ordinary people in the true sense are She is not qualified to be exposed to 'dangerous'. In other words, under normal circumstances, if a person like [tanuki] completely loses her fighting ability, then she, who is more familiar with the institutional system, will most likely be deprived of her status as a beast. Transferred to the logistics system to engage in some clerical work... In other words, I can only be a good wife and mother who is independent of the world.
In this way, even if the twisted thoughts of 'tanuki' have not changed, she has fundamentally lost the ability to continue to perform tasks on the front line. In this way, she may be able to reunite with her deep love Seeing her lover reunited.
It may sound ridiculous, but maybe that’s what [Snake], who was willing to accept a severe punishment and forcibly destroyed [Raccoon] at that time, thought like this.
Although there is a huge difference in thinking from ordinary people, [Raccoon], who is very paradoxically good at understanding people's hearts and has top-level emotional and intellectual intelligence, also seems to have guessed the thoughts of the good sisters in the past, so instead of resenting each other, After he recovered from his injury, he went to find [Cat] as soon as possible, sincerely wanting to make peace with him.
As far as Futaba knows, during the days when she was recovering from her injuries, although [Raccoon] still didn’t know what she had done wrong, based on her feelings for [Cat], she still made up her mind to work hard in the future. Cater to the other person and don't do things that may cause the other person negative emotions unless you have no choice.
In short, [Raccoon] is determined to do what he wants to do and what [Snake] wants him to do, that is - find [Cat] and tell him that he will not make him unhappy again. In the future, I might as well take this opportunity to leave the front line, do some paperwork in the rear, wait for him to come back every day, and live by his side the kind of life that seems happy to others, but [Raccoon] himself is actually very satisfied with.
However...
It seems that both [Snake] and [Raccoon Dog], or the breeder who acquiesced to the former and abolished the latter, have overlooked one point, that is [ Cat] never intended to regain the horrible relationship that made him feel like he was in hell for a long time.
This is actually not a difficult thing to guess, but perhaps because everything [Cat] has shown over the years has shown the depth of his love, no one has thought of his hatred.
So, when everyone thought that things could develop smoothly... [Tao] got a solid rejection. For more than half a year, he would lock himself in his room as long as there was no mission. [Cat] didn't open the door for her.
For three days, [Raccoon Dog] kept knocking on the door and calling. In the end, not only was the hand that knocked on the door torn to pieces, but her physical fitness, which was only at the level of an ordinary person, was almost collapsed.
On the morning of the fourth day, [Cat] finally came out.
Wearing a black cloak, with most of his face hidden under the hood, he paused slightly, his eyes lowered.
[Raccoon], on the other hand, smiled happily after meeting [Cat]'s eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he fainted because his body had endured too much burden in the past few days.
Then...
[Cat] just walked past [Raccoon] who was unconscious on the ground with no expression on his face, and stopped next to [Snake] who was hiding at the end of the corridor. footsteps, leading her away to carry out the mission.
From beginning to end, he never looked back at the woman he once loved.
These are all the results of [Raccoon]'s investigation, and when the investigation was over, she disappeared from everyone's sight, until the current plan was officially put on the agenda, including [Snake], [Cat] Only some members of the organization, including the two of them, learned about it again.
As for the news about those two people, [Raccoon] has always known it, because it was one of the rewards for the mission that she had originally agreed with the trainer.
All in all, from Futaba’s point of view, this is really a disgusting bloody story. Compared with the [tanuki] she is playing at this moment, she had an inherent relationship with Frank Hughes in the library. The 'Meifu' she knew in the world actually made her feel more comfortable.
So, let’s get back to the point—leaving aside the story itself, this mission is undoubtedly full of malicious intent, because the force that [Raccoon] is currently committed to has been looking for a certain person since a few months ago. A deeply hidden spy.
There is no doubt that this spy is the [tanuki] played by Futaba. Due to various reasons mentioned above, she has been leaking secrets at a high intensity in the past six months. , so that the force's plans were repeatedly frustrated, and it was finally determined that there was a powerful spy within it.
However, given that [Raccoon] was well hidden, even though the force organized many investigations, they were never able to find her out. Not only that, given that the person in charge of the Confidential Division held a high position during the investigation, as his lover Instead, the [tanuki] used this to obtain more information, and then leaked it even more.
Among them, the most important piece of news is the information about the upcoming visit of 'Little Duke' Voorhees. According to the agency's assessment, the weight of successfully assassinating the latter is worthy of using both [Cat] and [Cat] at the same time. Snake], and even did not hesitate to let the identity of the dormant [tanuki] be revealed.
As a result, an assassination plan came into being, and the person in charge was the breeder who had a close relationship with [Cat], [Snake], and [Raccoon Dog].
All in all, under the coordination of the old man, the plan was carried out very efficiently, whether it was re-establishing contact with the dead men who had been lurking outside in the past, or letting [Raccoon] help operate the forged identity [Snake] Being placed in the city as a performer was particularly smooth.
And today is the day to take action——
According to the plan, the [Snake] played by Mu Xuejian will wait for an opportunity to approach the young duke after the banquet begins, and then find a way to use the non-lethal ornamental sword in his hand to suppress his body functions to the level of ordinary people due to drugs. Under such circumstances, he killed Voris, who was closely protected and had an intermediate level of strength himself.
If this link fails, according to Futaba's speculation, not only Mu Xuejian, but also himself and Mo Tan will be punished to a certain extent.
Of course, Futaba also believed that Mu Xuejian would never miss. Even if the snake in history did, his Ace of Spades would definitely be able to accept the little duke's life.
So the focus of this battle can only be after the assassination is completed.
From Futaba's point of view, although the system will give the other player a chance to make a comeback as Mo Tan said, it will not expose even Mu Xuejian's intention to assassinate Voris, but the investigation Spies have been the most important issue for this force for several months, so the risk factor on their side is definitely not much lower.
If nothing unexpected happens, soon after Wallis dies, the news that the murderer is Mu Xuejian will spread, and the latter will start to flee. After the strength restrictions are gradually lifted, there is a high probability that he will be supported by Mo Tan. Mu Xuejian will only become safer and safer, and correspondingly, the risk factor on his side will become higher and higher.
You don’t need to think about it to know that when the other party is chasing Mu Xuejian, he will definitely deduce his identity. In this way, [Raccoon]’s identity will be exposed soon. In view of the geographical location of the Second Confidential Office The location is in the administrative district, which is the hinterland of the entire city, so it is extremely difficult to escape. If you leave early, it will not only cause trouble. It may even affect the tasks of the other two teammates. In addition, Futaba's physical fitness at this moment is almost the same as her outside the game. If she is caught in isolation and without help, she will die. Not to mention, the person in charge of the confidential first branch who leaked unknown amounts of information like [Tiao] would definitely kill him immediately.
Given the above information, Futaba can easily make a judgment that the most suitable time for him to leave is ten minutes before the 'little duke' is assassinated, and the relatively safe route is through the administrative area →Trade area→Back alley→Old neighborhood. If nothing goes wrong, as long as you can reach the back alley smoothly, you can meet up with the responder as soon as possible. As long as there are no big loopholes in Tan Mo's arrangement, the task will be completed. Half of it.
Fangye believes that there will be no problems with Mo Tan's arrangement, so as long as he follows this process, he will be able to complete the task without any danger, and Mu Xuejian's side will probably be easier. , In this way, according to the best-case scenario, the three members of the [Harlequin Card] can complete the rendezvous in half an hour at most, and by that time, the opponent's chance of winning is basically infinitely close to zero.
Of course, since in principle the system gives the opponent a comeback point, in addition to counting on the three of them to make mistakes, the opponent also has room to seize the opportunity to win through hard work. Strictly speaking, in the next period of time, The two teams either competed for wits or courage.
Considering that the strength of Futaba and Mu Xuejian has been greatly weakened and banned, and the opponent's team name "Iron Gate Bolt" is still a tactic in chess, the possibility of a 'match of wits' between the two sides is very high,
And Futaba doesn't think that a team with himself and Tan Mo at the same time will lose in a 'fight of wits'.
In other words, although this game looks difficult, it is actually not difficult to win, as long as the three of them adopt the optimal solution at the same time.
There is no need for Futaba and Mo Tan to worry. Mu Xuejian was clearly told by Mo Tan long before the game that there was a high probability that he would not make any mistakes.
However...
"What if I don't cooperate?"
Futaba curled up into a ball and yawned lazily, pursed her small mouth and muttered: "What if I want to be willful? I just want to give Are you causing trouble?”
Because the guard had been here before, Futaba, who had received the obvious time reminder, knew very well that at this moment, he was leaving the Second Confidential Office, turning left and taking the main road to enter the trade. Even if you bump into someone in the process, you can use shopping as an excuse to pass by. The safety factor can be said to be quite high.
However, despite the truth, Futaba had no intention of getting up and setting off. Instead, he huddled lazily on the soft bed, like a lazy cat.
Obviously, she does not intend to go against what she said before the game officially started, and is prepared to carry it out to the end.
Not only that, Futaba even had an inexplicable intuition in the dark, that is, whether the real [tanuki] in history also did not choose to escape as planned, but was handling everything properly and that was all. A man huddles here alone, waiting for death that is getting closer and closer.
Futaba was suddenly curious. If the [tanuki] in history really made such a decision, then how did the [cat] do it?
Is he coming?
Didn’t he come?
Has he forgiven you?
Does he still hate it?
Although it is a terrible story that makes people feel physically uncomfortable, the girl still wants to see the end of this story.
