Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Everyone was very busy for the next two days.

Mai Xiaoyu rented an entire floor in the Haixi Science and Technology Building and hung up the company sign.

This floor originally belonged to a financial company and was decorated very nicely. Mai Xiaoyu didn't touch it; she just found a team to rearrange the interior design and that was it.

When An Xiaohai went to the company, Lao Fan and Xiao Miao had already set up computers in the largest cubicle. Lao Fan didn't let An Xiaohai leave and pulled him to start learning immediately.

An Xiaohai did not refuse and immediately began his lecture. He continued lecturing almost non-stop until noon on the third day, when the number of people listening to the lecture had increased from 4 to 26.

An Xiaohai had told Lao Fan long ago that he could only lecture for three days at most, but even now, members of the security department still came from somewhere to listen to the lecture.

On the second day, the savage arrived with two brothers, and with their addition, An Xiaohai's team looked even more dangerous.

During this time, Zhao Gang called An Xiaohai to report on his work.

An Xiaohai didn't dare to neglect him and invited him to the company for a half-hour chat. It was clear that Zhao Gang felt much more at ease after the conversation.

Zhao Gang has also clearly felt the power of money these past few days.

Although each person in Fuwang Grain and Oil didn't receive much money, many people were given a glimmer of hope. They would no longer ignore Zhao Gang's orders as before, which gave Zhao Gang a taste of the sweetness of power.

Zhao Gang also gained a secretary, who was one of the people An Xiaohai had his eye on.

Zhan Weiting's side was unusually quiet. He neither contacted An Xiaohai nor seemed to be making any big moves. He Xiaohu, who was in charge of monitoring him, did not send back any messages.

The city of Shenhai was equally peaceful and serene.

Only by settling down can we develop better. In the past year or two, although many heinous crimes have occurred in Shenhai City, the citizens of Shenhai City have unexpectedly found that the overall environment of Shenhai City seems to have improved a lot.

The petty thugs who used to roam the city are now almost rare animals; even if some of them show up, they will soon disappear.

As more and more cameras appeared on the streets, no one felt violated; instead, they felt a greater sense of security.

The business of various video game arcades plummeted, and many internet cafes sprang up on the streets. These internet cafes acted like magnets, drawing away the restless elements who used to roam around and taking them to another world to fight and kill.

The business environment has improved considerably, with fewer of the various inexplicable financial investment companies. The chain reaction caused by the collapse of Haikong Real Estate has also been quickly eliminated.

Everything was so thriving that almost no one noticed the disappearance of a few friends from Japan in the city.

Pei Songzhi's office at the headquarters of Dabo Entertainment Company

Momotani Ryoko sat behind her desk, her face ashen. Pei Songzhi, who was usually arrogant and domineering, stood opposite her with his subordinates, trembling with fear and unease.

Ryoko Momotani wasn't wearing a kimono today. Instead, she wore a beige business-style short skirt suit and a wide-brimmed flat hat in the same color, adorned with two large light pink flowers. A large mesh veil hung from the brim, making her look like a lady from a prestigious family.

But Ryoko Momotani's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

To complete this mission, Ryoko Momotani personally came to Deep Sea City. The Japanese Caos controller sent a total of 17 assassins to assist her, but half of these 17 assassins disappeared as soon as they got off the plane!

Yes, it means disappearing. They are neither alive nor dead, without any movement or feedback, just as if they had truly vanished into thin air!

That's not the scariest part. The scariest part is that even if you trace it back, you can't find a single clue. It's all an accident, an accident that's almost perfect!

Just like the tour guide who went to pick up Jiro Igawa, he got into a conflict with someone at the entrance of the airport expressway, which caused a delay. By the time he arrived at the meeting point, Jiro Igawa was no longer there.

The guide immediately went to the airport and searched carefully for a long time, but found no trace of Igawa Jiro.

Ryoko Momotani originally thought that Jiro Igawa had left first as usual and that he would soon find a way to contact her. However, Ryoko Momotani waited for three days without receiving any news from Jiro Igawa.

Ryoko Momotani questioned the guide repeatedly, but couldn't find a single flaw in his story.

The tour guide and the person who clashed were old acquaintances. Their feud started four years ago, and the location of the conflict happened to be at that highway intersection.

This time, Director Xiang made the first move, but he didn't expect that there was another car following behind, which is why he suffered a loss.

"Baka! That's so unprofessional!..."

Ryoko Momotani was furious!

Although Fukushima City has never been within Momotani Ryoko's sphere of influence, Pei Songzhi was someone she personally mentored and had carried out several rendezvous missions with her without ever making a mistake.

But this major operation seemed extremely strange from the very beginning!

The missing people vanished without a trace, and even the assassins who had been assigned to provide cover began to experience frequent mishaps, as if they had been haunted.

Muto Kou, who can be considered Momotani Ryoko's junior fellow disciple, arrived safely in Fukami City and was successfully picked up by Director Xiang and arranged to stay in an urban village.

However, when Muto Isao went to a small gym nearby last night, he was accidentally crushed by a barbell and broke his leg. He is now in the hospital preparing for surgery, and he is destined to miss this mission.

According to Muto Koun, it wasn't a conspiracy, but rather an accident caused by his unfamiliarity with Chinese fitness equipment. Throughout the entire process, there was no one else in that small gym besides him!

Ryoko Momotani may not trust others, but she cannot distrust Kouno Muto; this certainly seems to be an accident.

Then there's Yuji Ishiguro. He was very cautious after arriving and almost never went out. But standing in his safe house, you could see a small sushi restaurant through the window.

Yuji Ishiguro couldn't resist going downstairs for some sushi and a few cups of sake. On his way back, he accidentally missed a step and fell into a sewer, suffering a concussion.

This is an utter disgrace!

A top assassin suffered a concussion after a thief stole a manhole cover. If this got out, he'd be utterly disgraced!

Similar incidents occurred one after another, and the assassins hiding in the safe house also met with unexpected events one after another.

Some suffered from acclimatization problems, vomiting and diarrhea; some got carbon dioxide poisoning from not ensuring proper ventilation while showering; some accidentally found a card with a pretty girl printed on it on the ground, couldn't resist making the call, and were then scammed by the local gang...

In short, after several days, of the 17 assassins, only 4 people remain who can actually work, including Ryoko Momotani herself.

What's the point of doing this?!

Ryoko Momotani appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually on the verge of vomiting with anger.

A lifetime of illustrious reputation, ruined in an instant!

If things continue like this, she'll have no choice but to commit seppuku to atone for her sins when she returns to headquarters in Japan.

"Why? Why does it feel like the whole world is targeting me..." Momotani Ryoko was on the verge of tears.

Ryoko Momotani's gaze swept over Pei Songzhi and the others, "I really want to kill them all to vent my anger... but not now, we can't afford any more accidents..."

Just then, Momotani Ryoko's phone rang. Despite her reluctance, she answered it.

"Zhan-san, I'm so sorry! Ryoko has to disappoint you. Something happened to Ryoko's people, and only four of them are left who can do anything. I'm so sorry! Ushiwa geiri masan!"
