Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 263: Shengya: I can work, but I want more money!

"So the main reason you came this time was to ask me to go into this GGO virtual game and help you investigate who this 'Death Gun' is and whether he's the murderer?"

As a time traveler, Seiya actually already knew the identity of "Death Gun" a long time ago.

But as the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must seize the stolen goods. Even if he has now revealed the true identity of "Death Gun", without evidence, even the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications will not be able to arrest the so-called "Death Gun" at will.

And even if Seiya revealed Death Gun's true identity now, would Kikuoka Seijiro believe him? And how would he explain that he knew about Death Gun?
"That's right, because I've heard about Wenren-kun's outstanding performance in SAO.

Even in the incident in ALO some time ago, it was only with your reminder that Mr. Yuki was able to successfully identify the black sheep Nobuyuki Sugo.

Whether it's gaming skills or investigation and response capabilities, our Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Cybersecurity Division believes that you, Wenren-kun, are the best candidate for this investigation mission."

According to the information currently investigated by the Cybersecurity Department, "Death Gun" is an extremely proud and lawless person.

The other party simply doesn't look down on any small characters, and through the criminal psychological profiling of "Dead Gun", people in the cybersecurity class also believe that the proud and perverted "Dead Gun" is also a perfect criminal.

When shooting a target, he must do so in full view of the public and fulfill certain specific conditions to satisfy his desire to perform.

Based on the above reasons, people from the Cybersecurity Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications speculate that if "Death Gun" appears next time, it will definitely be in the Bullet of Bullets PvP competition next month, commonly known as BOB, where the strongest shooter will be competed.

In the BoB competition, almost all GGO players can participate. However, it is not easy to find the "Death Gun" among the huge number of players based on this factor alone.

However, Kikuoka Seijiro and his team believed that with the level and strength of the "Death Gun", it would not be difficult for the other party to pass the preliminaries.

It would be better to say that Death Gun only really starts to act in the final round.

The preliminaries didn't attract much attention, and considering Death Gun's proud personality, the opponent probably wouldn't take action at that time.

As for why Kikuoka Seijiro still wanted to ask Seiya for help even though he already had a direction for the investigation, the main reason was that Kikuoka Seijiro and his colleagues did not even have the strength to pass the BoB preliminaries.

Although they are responsible for network security, it doesn't mean that they are all good at playing games...

"I pretty much understand what's going on, and although I want to help, I think Mr. Kikuoka understands it, too.

This unknown player called 'Death Gun' is obviously a dangerous character. I played the death game SAO before because I had no choice, and I fought against Nobuyuki Sugo for the sake of my imprisoned friend. But this time, 'Death Gun' doesn't seem to have much to do with me, right?
I'm just a student, but Mr. Kikuoka asked me to face such a dangerous person. Don't you feel guilty about it?"

Hearing Seiya's words, Kikuoka Seijiro immediately said with a serious face: "We also know that this investigation mission is quite dangerous for you.

But please don't worry about your personal safety. We will prepare special stealth equipment for you, and a nurse will be by your side to provide you with close protection during your stealth period."

Since the SAO incident, MMO games currently on the market have been subject to strict official monitoring. It is almost impossible for the other party to tamper with the NERvGear helmet like Kayaba Akihiko did.

Therefore, Kikuoka Seijiro and his team believed that the opponent was able to kill in the virtual game, most likely because they had done something to the player in the real world. They had not yet investigated the specific operation, but as long as they provided real-time protection for Seiya during his stealth, then Seiya's safety would be guaranteed.

Seiya, who already knew Death Gun's killing methods, naturally didn't worry about his own safety.

He now mentioned that the mission was very dangerous, but in fact he was not really considering the danger to life or anything like that, but he was reminding the other party of other aspects. However, Kikuoka Seijiro seemed to have no good eyesight.

"Mr. Kikuoka, the favor you want me to do is very dangerous, and since it's a commission, you can't let me do it for free, right?

You know, even hourly wages for supermarket workers are quite high these days, not to mention it’s so dangerous…”

Facing Seiya who had almost made it clear, Kikuoka Seijiro's face suddenly showed a look of realization.

Although he didn't know why a boy of Seiya's age would be so materialistic, it didn't matter at all. Their unit had plenty of operating funds, and as long as Seiya didn't refuse to help, it would be fine.

Hearing that the other party could pay him a generous reward, Seiya was no longer sleepy.

That’s right, he can help, but he, Seiya, will never work for free, and such a “dangerous” commission must be paid extra!
Dozens of minutes later, after discussing the specific matters, Kikuoka Seijiro finally walked out of the Wenren family's kendo gym.

As he was leaving, Kikuoka Seijiro couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, saying, "This kid is really obsessed with money. He actually refused the safe house and nurse we provided, and even said he wanted to cash in the funds..."

However, due to Kikuoka Seijiro's insistence, although Seiya's hiding place was changed from the safe house to his own home, the nurse who took care of Seiya's safety was still retained.

Because those killed by the "Death Gun" all died of cardiac arrest, medical conditions are essential for Seiya's safety.

Although the Cybersecurity Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications wants to find the "Death Gun", they will not really ignore the safety of a teenager.

After seeing off Kikuoka Seijiro, Seiya looked at the check he left behind, and a smile that remained as bright as ever appeared on his face.

Isn't that enough money to renovate the gym and buy new equipment? This Kikuoka Seijiro is not only the matchmaker, but also the God of Wealth!

Looking at the large sum of money he had just received, Seiya suddenly felt confident, and remembering Suguha's instructions, he went straight to the market.

I'm lying at home and money is falling from the sky. I must have a snack tonight!
"Death Gun" is a dangerous person, and this investigation mission may endanger his life?

Are you kidding? Seiya just wanted to get more money, so he said that in front of Kikuoka Seijiro.

He knew the true identity of "Death Gun" very well, so why would he go to a safe house? He, Seiya, would sneak around in his own home, and when registering for the competition, he would fill in his real address.

If "Death Gun" really dares to come to his door, he promises to let the other party know what real danger is!
Just two ordinary human scum, coming to his house to look for him, what's the difference between this and coming here to get killed?
