Tokyo: The Player Behind the Scenes

"Hibiya Station is the most likely place to appear."

Player Lobby.

Nobita did not explain his actions today, but he made it clear to Uesugi that he had verified that the events in the game were based on real events.

The only difference is the ending.

Nobody knows what happened to the character they were controlling in the end.

"We need to inform the authorities in advance so they can shut down the subway system promptly, otherwise it won't matter even if it's not a working day."

“Satoshi, no one will believe these words,” Uesugi interrupted Nobi’s plan.

Nobita stopped talking and fell silent.

He knew this too; unless he personally performed a superpower in front of the Prime Minister, it would be difficult to convince others, but that wasn't what Nobi wanted.

He has a natural aversion to and distrust of the authorities.

Especially after witnessing the brutality of the former officers in the Yamanote route in the game, this aversion reached an unprecedented level.

He now needs to control himself and avoid passing by the Tokyo Shrine of Souls as much as possible, otherwise he might be unable to resist turning into a hero to go in and eliminate evil.

Compared to Nobita's inner turmoil, Uesugi, though uneasy, managed to remain calm.

She would naturally like to stop such a thing if possible, but only if it would harm her interests.

Then we need to consider it carefully.

Carefully calculate the potential losses.

For example, revealing her identity is absolutely unacceptable to her.

"Try to bypass the oversight and threaten the Metropolitan Police Department with a bomb?" After calming down, Nobi came up with a feasible plan.

Uesugi rejected Nobi's option almost without hesitation.

"That's a good idea. The police are indeed taking a 'better safe than sorry' approach to bomb threats and will most likely close the platform."

"But firstly, it's very difficult to remain anonymous. I know a bit about this. With current technology, it's easy to pinpoint the IP address of a threat."

"Secondly, even if Zhu Hai is certain to appear, it's just our guess that he'll appear at Hibiya Station. In reality, he could appear at any station on the Hibiya Line or even the Yamanote Line. So, should we launch a bomb threat along the entire line?"

"Even if the police were to believe it, they wouldn't shut down the entire line for investigation."

Nobi didn't give up: "What if I deliver the threat myself? As long as I can get away unscathed, without being recognized or followed, it should be fine, right?"

“You’re right. I don’t know your abilities, but are you sure you can do it?” Uesugi thought carefully for a moment, then hesitated before speaking. “Our current appearance is somewhat related to our abilities, while [Hiro’s] appearance is a cloud of black mist.”

"I'll send a message and ask." Nobi recalled the player's indifference yesterday and didn't have much hope.

Soon, the other party replied.

[Hao: Remuneration.]

Kosuke Iwasaki didn't care about the lives or deaths of those insignificant people. He did things like crashing into the train in the game simply because he thought it was more difficult and more likely to achieve perfection.

Nobita's request might prematurely reveal his abilities to the authorities.

However, if Nobita is willing to give him the Little Jujutsu Pill, he is willing to take the risk.

Nobita is willing, but the problem is that he ate the little pill first thing this morning!

Hao: I'm sorry.

Uesugi was not surprised at all by this result.

Her only ability is to become a catgirl; she hasn't even gained the ability to switch between cat forms yet, so don't even think about hiding her identity to do anything.

She would be willing to provide some logistical assistance, though.

"If you really want to personally warn the authorities, I can tell you a few things to keep in mind to make it as difficult as possible for the police to find your true identity through paper, handwriting, or skin fragments."

Nobita listened carefully to each point and realized there were indeed many things he hadn't considered.

After exiting the player lobby, he glanced at the time; it was already 5 PM, and he didn't have much time left.

Chapter 100: Breaking into the Metropolitan Police Department

7 PM, Shinjuku Ward.

Kabukicho.

Because it was Saturday night, the place was particularly lively, as many people who had worked all week chose to come and relax.

Many young men and women were holding signs along the roadside, displaying attractive prices, hoping to attract customers during the holidays.

Outside the bustling main street, in a narrow alley not far away, a few shouts and curses suddenly rang out, but they were quickly drowned out by the noise on the main street, and no one paid any attention.

Da da.

A moment later, a strange man in full armor slowly emerged from the dark alley.

He was carrying a briefcase in his left hand and a stack of banknotes in his right, and he was walking swaggering down the streets of Kabukicho.

"Hey, which store are you from, buddy?"

An interested woman struck up a conversation, but the strange man ignored her and continued walking out of the pedestrian street.

"What's with the attitude?" The passerby, receiving no response, grumbled and left.

Most of the others were just curious about this guy who seemed to be wearing a real suit of armor, and a few people took pictures occasionally.

Some people wanted to take photos with him, but the strange man ignored them and refused to cooperate.

Soon, he left the pedestrian street and arrived at the west exit of Shinjuku Station, where taxis often line up.

"Uh, sir."

When the driver saw this guy wanting to get on the bus, he hesitated, wondering if he should make an excuse to turn him away.

The other party waved a wad of cash in his hand and handed it directly to the driver. The amount was at least ten thousand. On top of the cash, there was a torn piece of paper with the words "Xiaguan" written on it.

"—Please come in! Welcome to Tokyo Taxi, it's a pleasure to serve you!"

Honestly, his judgment of people is too accurate.

The Tokyo Night Running King accepted this job!

The metered fare from here to Xiaguan Station is less than 3,000, making the 10,000 price tag really hard to resist.

Besides, Xiaguan Station is full of government offices and has a strong security force, so what's there to be afraid of!

If anything really happens, just rush into the Metropolitan Police Department; you might even get credit for it.

The driver regained his composure. After so many years of night driving, he had seen all sorts of things. He just considered today another oddball he had picked up.

So he happily pocketed the money, let the strange man get on the bus, and then headed towards Kasumigaseki Station.

Inside the armor, Nobita's breathing sounded somewhat heavy.

Although everything is going well so far, he is still so nervous that his body is tense.

Based on Uesugi's advice and his own abilities, the plan was to first go to Kabukicho, a place teeming with all sorts of people, then find a way to steal an item used to hold letters, and obtain money by dealing with the Yakuza on the roadside.

He easily obtained a briefcase, made over ten thousand dollars, and forced one of the Yakuza to write "Kasumigaseki" and "Explosives on the Hibiya Line tomorrow morning" on a piece of paper he casually tore off.

Then use the money to go to Kasumigaseki Station, which is quite close to the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.

"I estimate I can last for another half hour or so after reaching Kasumigaseki Station."

The Card Warrior ability will continuously consume stamina after activating card drawing. It is estimated that he can only last for about an hour, and at his limit, he can last for another half hour.

Fortunately, he had already drawn the guaranteed save point card, using the card draw value he had accumulated by dealing with those Yakuza.

This means that even if the operation fails, he can still escape unscathed.

Soon, we arrived near Kasumigaseki Station.

The driver didn't ask where I wanted to stop, but instead found a spot he felt was safe, near Exit A2.

Nobita didn't say a word; he came in silence and left in silence.

After getting out of the car, I was somewhat surprised to see the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building almost right in front of me, about 200 meters away. What a thoughtful and kind driver!

"Take care, sir~ Phew, thankfully nothing happened. Looks like I can get off work early tonight." After seeing Nobi off, the driver found a place to wait for other passengers, intending to watch some videos before continuing.

Nobi, carrying his briefcase, quickened his pace until he was running, as if the armor on his body had no effect on him.

"Hey! Stop!"

His attire and actions quickly caught the attention of the patrolling officers, who began to warn him.

But Nobi ignored it and sprinted at top speed, arriving at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department in the blink of an eye. With the guards only having time to block the entrance, he smashed through the barrier and ran inside.

"What just ran past?!" A guard blinked and turned to ask his companion.

"What the hell are you asking! Chase after him!" his companion yelled, then quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and stared intently at the strange figure.

The guard snapped out of his daze, immediately unfastened his sidearm, and quickly chased after them.

"Code 99: Suspicious person has broken in through the main entrance! Gender unknown, wearing full silver armor with a red scarf and carrying a briefcase! Currently moving inside the main building. One team member is tracking them. Requesting backup!"

The guards at the gate quickly reported the incident.

The two patrol officers who first spotted Nobi also came after him. They never expected that the other party would be so bold as to come to their headquarters.

"Stop! Or we'll shoot!"

The officer who was closest to the police officer shouted a warning.

Nobi ignored everything and broke through the security checkpoint, smashing through the glass door and rushing into the first floor of the office building, quickly causing chaos among the employees inside.

"What do you want? This is the Metropolitan Police Department!"

Some people issued warnings, but most sought cover and rooms.

Nobita casually tossed his briefcase into a crowded area, instantly triggering a wave of panic screams as everyone scrambled away from the briefcase.

The guards finally caught up and pointed their guns at Nobi, but the chaotic scene around them made them hesitate about the consequences of firing.

"Give up the resistance and let me see your hands!"

Nobi ignored them completely, threw down his briefcase and ran inside quickly. The guards didn't chase after him directly, but waited for two patrol officers to come up from behind before they reluctantly gave chase.

"The target is heading towards the Second Investigation Division! He threw a briefcase at the exit, which may contain explosives. Requesting backup!"

"Received. Please maintain a safe distance while intercepting the enemy. You may decide whether to fire depending on the situation."

Nobita searched frantically and actually found the bathroom.

Thump! He barged in and entered an empty cubicle, using the card—Save Point!

His body instantly turned into a beam of light and vanished from the spot.

"The target escaped into the north-facing restroom on the first floor! We have already sealed off the entrance!"

"Received, mobile units have been arranged to provide support."

The entire Metropolitan Police Department was thrown into chaos by Nobi's antics.

Meanwhile, the perpetrator had already returned home, disarmed, and was clutching his heart, gasping for breath.

That's so exciting!

This isn't a game; it provides a psychological foundation.

In reality, he was a model student who wouldn't even dare to skip class.

"Such a big commotion should finally attract attention!"

Chapter 101: Emergency Meeting

"A bunch of trash!"

"The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, a prestigious institution, was just allowed to be entered and exited unscathed by someone who made it seem like no one was there?!"

"Have you no shame?! If you don't want it, I will!"
