Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Toru Amuro, who was "lucky" enough to win the jackpot, spent much more time than others to tidy himself up.

Coming out of the steamy bathroom, Toru Amuro, wearing a dark bathrobe, walked towards the cloakroom while wiping his hair with a towel.

Pushing open the door of the cloakroom with one hand, at least thirty sets of clothes were neatly arranged in the not-so-large space.

There are stand-up suits, wrinkle-free shirts, casual trendy clothes and hats, all kinds of styles are available.

There are also matching shoes and socks, as well as various accessories to match the clothes.

The entire cloakroom was filled with a dazzling array of items.

After a quick glance around, Toru Amuro picked up a piece of clothing at random. After taking a quick look, he found that the size of the clothes was almost the same as his body shape.

He was not in a hurry to change his clothes, nor did he take a close look at the clothes and accessories in the cloakroom.

Instead, he sat down on the changing bench in the middle of the cloakroom and began to think about the whole thing.

Apparently, Whiskey knew in advance that one of his men was secretly replaced by someone from the mysterious side.

Judging from McCarron's words, the birthday party was held on the open lawn in the first place in order to catch someone.

But just looking at the explosive scene at the end, Toru Amuro was very skeptical:

Whiskey chose the location on the outdoor lawn because he expected that scene to happen.

If this happened in the house he was in now, just cleaning it up would be a big problem.

Not to mention the money it would cost to replace the furnishings.

For example, there is the chandelier hanging in the lobby on the first floor, which looks luxurious and dazzling at first glance, and there are also the handmade carpets on the floor.

But it would be much easier to clean up if it were a lawn.

There are also clothes and accessories prepared in the closet, which can be seen at a glance that they were prepared in advance.

But... this matter is obviously far from over now.

The two men disguised as Abe and Turado suddenly died.

The one who had plastic surgery to look like Talisca, replaced a senior code member, and had the special ability to read memories died a horrible death.

There is undoubtedly someone behind this.

As I was thinking, time quickly approached five o'clock.

After washing and dressing up and putting on new clothes, the code members pushed open the door one after another and walked towards the real birthday banquet hall in groups of two or three.

In the room, Karasuma Soshin heard the knock on the door. As he walked towards the door, his originally dark red hair and eye color gradually turned into maple red.

His sharp and handsome facial features also changed into another handsome look.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the ruby ​​earring on his left ear.

A streak of red light flows slowly inside the ruby.

But no one discovered it.

Outside the door, Granquinchi looked at Karasuma Soshin who opened the door and walked out, and said:

"Let's go, the party is about to start."

"it is good."

Karasuma Soshin replied in a calm tone.

In the brightly lit banquet hall, the codenamed members, wearing new clothes, were scattered everywhere in groups of three or four.

Some were holding wine glasses, while others were enjoying various meals in the banquet hall.

The stacked champagne towers sparkled exceptionally under the lights, but what sparkled even more was Xiang, a man in a beige suit, standing next to the champagne tower.

The crown looked at Xiang in the distance with a happy expression. Xiang, who was dressed like a little prince, finally understood why Xiang had not appeared before.

The original intention of the adults doing this was that they didn't want Xiang, the protagonist of the birthday, to be stained with blood today. Look at that scene.

The only protagonist of the birthday party appeared, and the code members, whether senior or mid-level, began to come forward one after another to greet Xiang.

If you have a close relationship and are an extrovert, chat more.

Those who think that the relationship is not close and who are introverted will simply say "Happy Birthday" and give up their seats to others.

Karasuma Soshin, who was among them, also came forward and said a simple hello.

Xiang responded appropriately and did not show any discrimination towards Karasuma Soshin at this time.

The following birthday process is no different from an ordinary birthday party.

A huge cake was pushed out, and as the birthday song rang out, I closed my eyes and made a wish.

Karasuma Soshin looked at Xiang, who was picked up and raised by him and has now officially entered adulthood, under the light, and a hint of tenderness could not be suppressed in the depths of his eyes.

But when Xiang opened his eyes, the tenderness had already disappeared from Karasuma Soshin's eyes.

He followed the crowd and raised his hand to applaud, and during the cake cutting and distribution session, he reached out to take a piece of cake handed to him by Xiang, just like everyone else.

But after taking a bite, Karasuma Soshin stopped touching the cake.

At eight o'clock in the evening, a short but lively birthday party came to an end.

The code name members, who had originally squeezed in time to come, dispersed very quickly. In less than ten minutes, there was no one left in the banquet hall.

Grankunchi was very reluctant to leave and lamented that he didn't know when they would meet again.

In response, Karasuma Soshin just raised his eyelids politely and signaled him to leave quickly.

Crown and ten other senior code members all stayed until the end, and then met Karasuma Soshin who had returned to his original appearance in the conference room on the third floor.

"grown ups."

everyone shouted in unison.

"sit down."

Karasuma Soshin sat in the main seat of the conference room and first looked at Macallan:

"McAllen, I read your inventory report. It's very well written."

Macallan showed no joy when he was praised. Instead, he lowered his eyes and apologized:

"It was my oversight. Please punish me, sir."

What’s the use of a well-written report when there are such big omissions in the operation.

None of the three people who were originally planned to be captured and tortured were captured, and the clues were directly cut off.

Hearing that Karasuma Soshin was expressing his displeasure, McCarron did not make any excuses, but lowered his head and waited for punishment.

"Keep investigating. If you can find out the whereabouts of Taiska, Abe, and Turado, your fine will be waived this time. If you can't find them, your fine will be doubled."

"Yes."

Seeing Macallan respond, Karasuma Soshin looked away and looked at the crown:

"Crown, you assist Macallan. Before the end of this month, I hope to receive good news that Tayska and the others have been found."

"Yes."

The crown responded as well.

Among those who were missing or captured, her deputy was the highest ranking.

If I hadn't seen Karasuma Soshin at the banquet venue, I would have seen him facing this series of events calmly without showing any worry at all.

This indirectly helped Crown to calm down.

She had no doubt that she would break down and go mad.

God knows how panicked she felt when she confirmed that Taiska had been secretly replaced.

An undercover agent lurking beside her as a senior code member can obtain a lot of intelligence just by relying on the authority at hand.

Even though core secrets cannot be retrieved due to the differences in fingerprints and irises, even the information that is at hand is enough to leak a lot of information.

Crown was really worried that important information about the equipment group would be stolen by outsiders, which would then cause serious losses to the equipment group.

"Chivas, you and Yamazaki will be partners. The next cleansing operation will be in charge of the two of you."

After the inventory comes cleaning, which is an old practice that the equipment team has followed to this day.

Chivas and Yamazaki had no objection.

Chivas, who had two of his men replaced silently, was full of anger and planned to start tonight.

"ring."

Hibiki, whose code name was called, looked up.

After giving instructions to the others, Karasuma Soshin turned his gaze to Xiang and his voice became much softer.

"First of all, congratulations on becoming an adult today."

Xiang smiled with bright eyes and his face was full of happiness.

"Then I think you're ready to become a true, senior code member."

"Yes."

Xiang answered firmly.

The atmosphere in the conference room finally lost its seriousness at this moment.

Not to mention Yamazaki and others who watched Hibiki grow up, even Amuro Toru felt as if his own naughty child had finally grown up and become sensible.

But on second thought, his mood suddenly became complicated again.

Especially when he witnessed with his own eyes that Xiang truly obtained the authority that belonged to a senior code member and became the highest person in charge of several regions of the equipment group in the Ouzhou branch.

When he received a complete team of subordinates that Karasuma Soshin had already prepared for him.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I was more shocked or more afraid.

Chivas and others who had been allocated some authority had already guessed from the emails sent by Karasuma Soshin that those were prepared for Hibiki.

He also knew that with Karasuma Soshin's favor for Hibiki, he would inevitably give him great power.

But when he saw the authority accumulated in Xiang's hands, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Although it is not as powerful as the authority they have at present.

However, he already has the core coordination power among senior code members and the promotion power of junior and middle-level code members in his hands.

The rest, in the eyes of Diogenes and others, is just a matter of time.

As Karasuma Soshin finished his words, everyone congratulated Xiang and the atmosphere in the conference room once again turned towards a tea party.

During the conversation, Laforge, one of the senior executives, suddenly remembered something Karasuma Soshin had said, so he asked:

“By the way, I remember that Master said that he wanted to choose a direct subordinate for Xiang?

Who did you pick?"

Recalling what they had said before Karasuma Soshin, Diogia and others who heard this part of the arrangement looked at Karasuma Soshin with curiosity.

They all still remember what Karasuma Soshin said during the last online meeting.

When asked, Karasuma Soshin glanced at Xiang and sighed helplessly:

"I made a list of suitable people, but he didn't like any of them."

"Oh, Hibiki's vision is so high?"

Laforge looked at Hibiki in surprise.

"What kind of direct subordinate do you want? If you don't know which one to choose, we are all here today to give you some advice."

Upon hearing this, Jim Bin, who was sitting next to Laforge, secretly twitched his lips.

He didn't think they could achieve any results by consulting here.

Last time, just when I was guiding Xiang to write a report, everyone argued for several hours due to disagreements, and in the end, no result was reached.

Thinking about the fifty-word report he had received about Xiang before, Jin Bin felt that the result this time would be no different from the last time.

As expected, after seeing the list that Karasuma Soshin gave for fun, Diogia and others started discussing it lively again.

Diogenes and Macallan are at odds again.

Diogenes, who clearly remembered how he was dragged onto the lawn by McAllen to be used as a human shield, ruining his entire new set of clothes and leaving his skin bald, pointed out the faults of the man that McAllen favored in sharp words.

It is not an exaggeration to say that I am finding fault with everything.

Yamazaki felt that none of them were good enough, and Crown could tell at a glance that Yamazaki's old habit of spoiling his children had come back again.

Toru Amuro did a lot of analysis seriously, but as soon as he looked up, everyone around him insisted on their own opinions, and a heated argument ensued.

Feeling that they couldn't reach a conclusion from the argument, Jim Beam and Laphroaig argued until their faces turned red and their necks became thicker, each slamming the table louder than the other.

Xiang huddled quietly in his seat, looking left and right, not daring to say a word.

Karasuma Soshin watched the scene with a relaxed look, and from time to time he echoed a few words when Diogenes and others looked at him and sought his support.

Then watch them continue to argue with others with full confidence.

In the end, Diogenes and the others, who had drank up all the tea on the table due to the quarrel, all looked at Karasuma Soshin.

They asked in unison:

"Sir, who do you think is suitable?"

Xiang, whose curly hair on his head had wilted a lot because of the noise, looked at Karasuma Soshin eagerly, hoping that his master could stop this discussion.

He really didn't want to be asked questions like "Am I right?" or "Who do you think made the better choice among us?" anymore.

After receiving the request for help, Karasuma Soshin glanced at the expressions of his trusted subordinates, curled his lips, and gave his answer:

"What do you think of Johnnie Walker?"

Everyone was silent.

Karasuma Soshin looked at Xiang who was stunned for a moment, blinked happily, and asked:

"Hibiki, what do you think?"

Xiang's mind went blank, but he nodded subconsciously.

"What about you? Do you have any opinions?"

Facing the gaze from Karasuma Soshin, Diogia and the others shook their heads in unison.

"Then it's decided."

Karasuma Soshin announced happily.

Mini-theater 1: Main World Card-drawing Movie-Gin's Weakness (Part 2)

After the screen went completely dark, the first thing the red and black teams heard, rather than the picture, was a powerful and explosive heavy metal music.

The familiar music completely shattered the last bit of hope in Yueyawan's heart.

He lowered his head silently, trying to find a crack in the ground that he could crawl into.

That alien consciousness that suddenly appeared and brought people together to watch the development of the world line is just in kindergarten.

It's okay to be nosy, but what a rubbish title.

Instead of writing about Gin’s weaknesses, why don’t you write about Gin’s true love? Ugh!

He stepped hard on this thought and threw it a million miles away. Yueyawan cursed in his heart, wishing he could pull that foreign consciousness out and give it a good beating.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Sanada Yasuyuki looked at his brother in confusion.

Yuuki Sanada, Kenjiro Sanada and others who heard this also looked over.

"It's okay, the shoelaces are loose."

Yueyawan pretended to bend down and pretend to tie his shoelaces.

At this time, the super-large curtain gradually lit up.

[Pushing open the door, the powerful and explosive heavy metal music was deafening. Under the colorful rotating lights, a group of people were dancing wildly to the rhythm of the music.

Gin walked through the crowd with a stern face. His tall figure and the evil temperament that kept strangers away made the group of people who came to the nightclub to have fun and relax subconsciously make way for him.

Going up the stairs to the second floor, Gin accurately pushed open the door of one of the private rooms.

Gin took a glance at the empty room, closed the door, and put the paper bag in his hand on the sofa.

Then he sat down, opened the two bottles of wine on the table, and poured them into two different glasses.

The glass with gin was placed in front of him, and the glass with Johnnie Walker was placed aside.

Then Gin took out his cigarette case and lit it, but he just put the cigarette on his fingertips and did not take the next step. 】

Gin, visiting a nightclub? Carrying gifts? Pouring wine, lighting cigarettes, and waiting for others?

The red and black teams stared in disbelief at the luxury brand logo on the paper bag and the series of actions of Gin on the screen.

I strongly suspect that the gin I saw before was a fake one.

This kind of thing appears on Gin, it's OOC, okay?

Vermouth recognized the brand and looked approving:

"Gin, you have a good eye for gifts. This brand of sneakers has great design, especially last year's limited edition black and red one."

The eyes behind the vodka sunglasses were dull.

He remembered that last year he had queued up overnight to buy that limited edition sneakers for his elder brother.

His sunglasses were crushed that time.

So brother didn't buy it to collect it, but to give it as a gift?

Chianti shouted excitedly:

"That's fake. Gin can give people gifts. Isn't he just a gift to others?"

Cohen nodded silently, and the black party members who had witnessed Gin's brutality also nodded in unison.

On the Red side,

Conan and others were wondering about the other glass of Johnnie Walker, wondering if the other party was also a code member of the organization.

Toru Amuro and Rena Mizunashi, who had never heard of this, shook their heads.

Said he hadn't heard of it.

Everyone was looking forward to the next scene.

Only Yueyawan stared at the shoes on his feet with a distorted expression.
