Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 459 - 215: Fifth Cycle_2

"What’s going on?"

"Probably harassment or something like that, the flight attendant and the captain will definitely come out and warn him..."

Wu Kang was speaking, and sure enough, the captain in a white shirt and the chief purser walked up to the middle-aged white man, quietly advising and reminding him.

But Gu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and took a step diagonally with his right foot to the center of the aisle, vaguely positioning his body in a side stance.

Although he wasn’t sure if he was being overly sensitive, judging by the look on this white man’s face, he seemed very anxious, his forehead covered in sweat and his hands shaking violently, indicating he was extremely nervous inside.

The captain’s persuasion was futile.

He immediately shouted sternly in English, "Sir, if you continue to disrupt order, we can only forcibly remove you from the plane! Cheng Ai!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two female flight attendants next to him immediately reached out their hands, ready to escort the balding white man off.

But just as they touched the white man’s body,

suddenly an unexpected change occurred.

"Run! They’re robots! Ahhhh!" The middle-aged white man suddenly went berserk, violently pushing the two flight attendants aside, then shouted to the passengers at the back of the cabin, "This is the fifth loop!! The plane is going to crash!"

What!?

Hearing the latter part of what the white man shouted, Gu Ji’s body instantly froze, and his pupils rapidly dilated, as if struck by lightning.

If he heard correctly, he shouted...

Fifth loop!

Death loop?

Could he be a game player!?

That was Gu Ji’s immediate thought, seeing the white man about to charge in front of him, he swiftly slid back, assuming a standard police combat defensive stance.

But the crew members behind acted even faster.

In the split second when the middle-aged white man charged over, they tackled him to the ground with a thud.

"Ah!"

"What’s happening..."

"Nula-da~"

...

Since the flight was from Seoul to Tokyo, most of the passengers on the plane were Asian. Seeing the white man tackled to the ground, they immediately moved to both sides in fright.

Meanwhile, many bold young people at the back of the cabin, with a mindset of watching the excitement, took out their phones to start recording.

"Oh my god! Who is this foreigner, what’s this about robots?"

Gao Bo and the others were also taken aback, but fortunately, they had experienced grand capture operations before, and quickly they reacted, "Gu Ji, should we go up and help?"

"Let me go! Let me go! The plane is going to have an accident! Everyone get off the plane quickly! Move!"

The white man struggled desperately on the ground, shouting hysterically, "This is just like AM649! You have to believe me!"

"Calm down! Sir!" The captain and the co-pilot used all their strength, twisting his arms behind his back, and shouted, "Sir! Please don’t get agitated!!"

"I think the crew can handle it."

Gu Ji forcibly suppressed his inner shock, casually said something, fortunately, Gao Bo and the others showed the same expression, so his earlier shocked look didn’t seem abrupt.

"Gu Ji’s right, this is South Korea, we have no law enforcement authority, better not to cause trouble unless necessary."

Wu Kang misinterpreted his meaning though.

Gao Bo scratched his head, leaving everything to Gu Ji’s arrangement.

Although the white man was relatively physically strong, he was just one person, and was quickly subdued by the crew and taken to the front end of the cabin, while the chief purser picked up the cabin phone to contact the airport police.

The captain, a middle-aged Korean, after dealing with the balding white man, turned around and reached out to calm the passengers in the cabin:

"Everyone please return to your seats, the police will be here to handle it shortly, please don’t worry!"

"Captain, is what he said just now true?"

"Yeah, I seemed to hear him say the plane is going to have an accident, telling us to run away immediately!"

"He was just whispering those things in my ear, telling me to leave the plane with him fast, damn it, scared me to death, how could there be such a lunatic!"

"There’s a saying in the Xia Kingdom, better believe it than not, I’m not staying on this plane!"

...

Even though the white man was subdued, his earlier shouts still caused panic among the passengers, especially since the Panama Airlines crash had just happened not long ago, and two middle-aged Korean couples immediately requested to get off the plane.

"Why stay on this plane? It’s definitely going to crash!"

The white man strapped to the front seat of the cabin was still restless, continuing to shout, "Stay here and wait for a reset? Reset is fine, this world is rotting anyway, everything is controlled by capitalists behind the scenes! Robots are enslaving us! Why should we follow their orders? Everyone’s life is cheap, might as well fight them! Don’t you all want a reset?"

"Is this guy crazy?"

Gao Bo listened for a long time and couldn’t help but say, "What fifth loop, the plane is about to crash, does he think this is ’Horror Cruise’ or ’Source Code’?"

"Maybe he was triggered by something, but this flight is unlikely to take off, with the AM649 incident preceding, passengers have started to panic."

Wu Kang remained unusually calm.

A moment later, two South Korean airport police officers in reflective vests quickly entered through the cabin door and forcibly detained the white man according to law.

But once "fear" spreads, it’s hard to control.

Despite the police taking the man away, the passengers still demanded the flight be cancelled. Helplessly, after discussing with air traffic control, the captain decided to cancel the flight and issue refunds or rebook tickets for all passengers in the cabin.

Fortunately, Asiana Airlines’ service was quite up to par, covering all expenses incurred during the procedure at the expense of the airline.

Helplessly.

The three had no choice but to return to the waiting hall, waiting for the airline company to help with rescheduling.

Gao Bo took out his phone on the side, explaining the situation to the stationed police liaison officer responsible for picking them up in Japan. Due to this sudden incident, they could only take the next flight two hours later, arriving in Tokyo in the early morning.

As for Gu Ji, he sat on a chair, looking thoughtful.

Throughout the journey, he’d been pondering about the white man.

Although the whole incident ended quickly, and the man was taken away by Korean police, he still noticed some details for analysis.

Firstly, from the two disputes the white man had with the crew members, he seemed to have almost no combat skills.

If this person was really a game player, most likely it was his first round.

Because as long as you clear the first round and understand the game’s mechanics, anyone with half a brain would find ways to enhance their strength to ensure smooth passage in the next round.

Secondly, the white man’s words in the first half were indeed quite mysterious.

"Fifth loop", "plane crash", "robots", etc., these terms closely relate to the fantastic scenarios in the ’Crisis Management Game’, but his later words were somewhat illogical, mainly expressing dissatisfaction with the world and capitalist exploitation.

As it stands, there was no logical relationship between the two sets of phrases.

"Capitalist", "life is cheap", how do these relate to "plane crash", "reset" and other scenarios?

Considering the AM649 crash incident, it’s hard not to associate:

Was it because the white man saw the crash happen, or was triggered by something in his daily work that he couldn’t handle mentally, leading to a breakdown and saying these nonsensical words.

Lastly, and most importantly.

If what the white man said in the first half was true, he really was a game player, and this flight was a game level, then within the level, would he not tackle the crisis?

With Gu Ji’s current abilities, especially having just gone through a crash level, possessing the best state of aviation knowledge and experience, how could he fail to solve the problem after five loops?

Instead, it was solved so easily just by the white man’s disruption before take-off?

"Well, upon comprehensive judgment, it should be as Wu Kang said, that person was probably triggered by something..."

Having concluded that "the white man is not a player", Gu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he lifted his head.

Their eyes met, and he realized Wu Kang had been staring at him all along.
