"Hehehe... Are you trying to compete with me in patience? Shitong Zhengyi." Half a minute later, a voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

But Shitong Zhengyi still chose to remain silent.

"You can call me Rum." The somewhat unhappy voice was silent for a few seconds before speaking again, "According to the ranking within the organization, I am above you... Haha, there is only a difference of one position, we are neighbors."

The second-in-command of the organization, the boss of the intelligence group who is the best at playing mystery, Rum.

Shitong Zhengyi had heard of this code name, and he was also very afraid of the person whose seat he was holding.

"What do you want from me?" Shitong Zhengyi went over the information he had collected in his mind, and kept calculating the reasons why the other party came to him.

"I heard that you are in need of suitable subordinates right now."

"As a senior, of course I have to help the juniors."

When Shitong Zhengyi heard the sudden change in voice, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

His first impression was that the second-in-command, Rum, was too possessive of the organization and would not tolerate any department without intelligence team spies.

Then, he began to worry whether the second-in-command was planning to get information from him, take possession of his "achievements", and then kick him out.

After all, a second-in-command who doesn't want to be the top leader is not a qualified top leader of an organization.

But a third thought soon came to mind.

He is the man most likely to become the next Prime Minister of Japan.

The man with the highest actual power in this country!

So, is Rum planning to manipulate the country on his own?

"I can lend you two people here temporarily... but you have to share some information with me. About that... cognitive science."

Rum's words made Shitong Zhengyi raise an eyebrow.

He didn't expect the other party's conditions to be just this.

Negotiating a deal with the most popular candidate for the next prime minister just for a new concept that he couldn't even pronounce the word "cognitive science" smoothly?

No wonder he always felt that this organization was a bit stingy except for being generous with money.

So this is what the top management is like.

Moreover, even when borrowing money from people, they always borrow in pairs.

The big boss of the organization gave him two people, and the second-in-command also planned to give him only two people.

How come you humans are so lacking?

Chapter 125 You finish your performance and I will take the stage

The reason why Shi Tong Zhengyi clings to "Cognitive Hexue" is that he knows very well how terrifying this power is.

If he is the one who obtains this power, it doesn't matter if he can't become the Prime Minister of Japan.

After all, by then even someone like the Prime Minister would be nothing more than a puppet in his hands.

But unfortunately, the person who obtained this power was not him, but his illegitimate son who was an unstable factor.

Did Goro Akechi really think that he bought his position as a cabinet aide?

You take advantage of such a powerful person without even investigating his background in private?

But rum is different.

Because Shi Tong Zhengyi only submitted a part of the 'cognitive learning'.

Even if the boss of the organization trusts the second-in-command enough to tell him all the details of the new department, the results presented in the paper report will definitely not be as good as the seat of a "prime minister".

But Rum...

Should we say, it is worthy of being called a mouse that can only hide in dark corners?

The pattern and vision are so narrow that it makes people laugh.

Shi Tong Zhengyi was mocking the second-in-command of the organization, while Rum on the other side was already thinking about who to assign to be Shi Tong Zhengyi's "assistant".

After thinking for a long time, Rum's gaze stopped at the woman behind him with silver hair and rare heterochromatic eyes.

"Curaçao, report to Lion Boy Justice and bring back all the information he has about 'Cognitive Science'." Rum's cunning smile looked even more eerie in the darkness.

Curacao didn't say anything, but just nodded silently, then took a few steps back and disappeared into the darkness.

As a ruthless old monster who worked meticulously in the intelligence network, Rum saw at a glance the epoch-making power hidden in "Cognitive Science".

Although the BOSS only sent him a few fragments of the text because he was afraid of him, it was enough for him to outline some lines.

And when combined with the previous incident of becoming disabled and the incident of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts changing their hearts, these lines immediately become a complete picture.

He knew that Vermouth and Bourbon were hiding beside Shido Masayoshi because they suspected that he was the mastermind behind the cripple incident.

"Cognitive Hexology" raises the suspicion from 50% to 90%.

Although no one knows what happened later, it is clear that Shido Zhengyi has lost that power, otherwise he would not have joined the organization.

And now... whoever masters 'cognitive science' first will have the opportunity to completely control the organization and further spy on the political power of all countries in the world.

"King of the world... hehe, hahaha!" Rum couldn't help laughing.

Curacao is the best chess piece that Rum has, and it is also the easiest to control, and its abilities are also extremely strong.

Asking her to go to Shitong Zhengyi to obtain more information about "Cognitive Science" is already the best card that Rum can play at the moment.

After all, the other "right-hand men" all have their own calculations.

That's the bad thing about the intelligence team.

The intensity of intrigue is the highest in the organization.

"As for the second candidate..." After Rum laughed for a while, he stopped and began to think about the second person to be prepared for Shitong Zhengyi.

It's impossible for the intelligence team to do that.

Bourbon alone was enough to give him a headache.

Then we can only look for it in the action team.

Anyway, now that Gin is dead, no one will bother him even if he exceeds his authority and uses the action team without authorization.

"Kil..." The first thing that Rum thought of was the codename member who "shot" Akai Shuichi.

In recent times, her name has become quite famous in the organization.

After all, he was the one who defeated Akai Shuichi, who even Gin couldn't do anything to.

Of course, in Rum's opinion, the suspicion level of Kil being an undercover agent has risen from 50% to 90%.

Having fought against the Akai family so many times, he knew best how difficult that family was to deal with.

If there wasn't evidence proving that the dead guy's DNA matched that of Shuichi Akai, he would have suspected that the guy was not dead, but had faked his death and escaped and hidden.

Although he still has this doubt now.

How can a code member who can't even deal with Gin deal with Shuichi Akai?

Then Rum would rather believe that Gin is also an undercover agent.

Just arrange Kiel to be on the side of Shi Tong Zhengyi...let them fight each other.

Maybe we can catch a few big fish.

……

“It’s an incredible view.”

Standing on the city wall of Jianye City, looking at the two completely different scenery inside and outside the city, Vermouth let out a long sigh.

The city was bustling with people and the market was prosperous, but the sanitary conditions were quite high, and there was even a faint floral scent in the air.

The ancient buildings and modern buildings appear in a wrong way, giving people a visual impact.

Outside the city, various crops were swaying in the wind, and further away, there were various workshops with steam rising out of them.

Just the Jianye City in front of us gives people a feeling of vitality.

Of course, for Vermouth, who has traveled around the world and seen a lot, these are nothing.

The sight that shocked her to the point of being speechless was mainly the streaks of light that occasionally flashed across the sky.

Each of them was a humanoid life form with white wings behind them.

Oh, Bao Sanniang introduced her to her.

Those are technicians from the realm of Olympus.

Mainly responsible for the stable testing and maintenance of the channel between the New Country and the Earth.

It’s just that they occasionally take on some private work, so they leave their workplace and occasionally fly over Jianye City.

I heard that Liu Bei even planned traffic rules for aerial flight routes because of this.

"So, where should I go next?" Vermouth turned around and asked Bao Sanniang who was standing next to her.

Huang Yueying has already gone to deal with the technicians and various equipment and books she brought this time.

Bao Sanniang was left behind to act as her guide.

"Hmm... It says that your future career preference is in the 'art' category." Bao Sanniang looked through her work log, then looked up at Vermouth, "Speaking of art-related jobs, then the next place to go is naturally the 'Art Workshop'."

"Now, several heads of the Art and Literature Museum should be here, so it's a good opportunity to interview you and arrange your next work."

Art and literature museum?

When she heard the name, Vermouth almost sneered.

The name is terrible, the meaning is terrible, and it feels uninteresting.

Anyway, I'm here to retire, so if there's nothing to see, then so be it.

"By the way, the Art and Literature Museum has nine chief officers. They are a group of sisters from the Olympus God Realm. I heard they are called 'Muses'."

The expression on Vermouth's face froze instantly.

Chapter 126: Shinjima Makoto: What he said sounded like history

"I'm Curacao, please give me your guidance."

Looking at the woman in front of him with silver hair and a stern face, who looked like an office lady preparing to go to work in an office building, Kil... Hondou Eikai couldn't help but droop his eyes a few degrees.

She had heard of this code name.

Rum's confidant.

"You should have received Rum's order." The calm tone of the statement made Hondou Eikai's nerves tense.

"Ah, I was temporarily assigned to be a subordinate of 'Shido Masayoshi'." Putting on the mask named Gil again, Hondou Eikai answered coldly, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked Curacao, who was Rum's confidant, "Although I know who Shido Masayoshi is, when did he become the third in our organization? And why doesn't he have a code name?"

"You are not supposed to know these." Curacao's cold eyes swept back and forth over Hondou Eikai's body. "You just need to accept orders and complete the mission."

As Rum's confidant, Curacao naturally knew the "label" that this person had marked on Rum's side.

Therefore, she would never tell Kiel about the details of the mission.

After all, the person in front of him is just a bait.

"Stop talking nonsense and follow me." After making sure that everything was ready, Curacao glanced at Hondou Eikai, said this, turned around and walked towards the parking lot.

At the same time, in a mansion in Beika Town, a squinty-eyed man wearing glasses opened his eyes.

The cold light released from the dark green pupils appeared particularly bright in the shadows.

On the phone in his hand was the message that Hondou Eikai had just sent.

"Shido Masayoshi..." Looking at the name on the text message, Akai Shuichi, who used the alias Okiya Subaru, closed his eyes again.

On the TV news next to it was the scene of Shi Tong’s righteous and upright speech for the country and the people.

"Even people of this level have been pulled into the organization... Be careful not to be slow, James." Murmuring his superior's name softly, Shuichi Akai forwarded the information he had just obtained to James.

These were the few people he could trust.

Although his abilities are somewhat limited, at least his vision and judgment are still outstanding enough.

Among the FBI's field offices in Japan, where many Karamis gather, he is the only one who can show off his abilities.
