Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 461 - 216: Whirlpool of Crisis

Lang Shaobo clearly was not used to such scenes.

"This, we..."

"Get down! Get down quickly!"

Gu Ji suddenly shouted.

A figure dressed in black suddenly darted out from the alley entrance, holding a black handgun that was hard to make out, and fired two shots at the approaching men in floral shirts.

"Get down quickly! Lang!" Gao Bo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly pulled the stunned Lang Shaobo down under the seat.

"What’s happening!" Wu Kang quickly reacted, crouching next to Gu Ji and asking.

Among the four people in the car, only Gu Ji was pressed against the door, with half his head sticking out, glancing outside with his periphery vision to monitor the situation.

After taking down one person, the gunman quickly jumped onto the back seat of a motorcycle. The driver performed a smooth tail spin, instantly turning the vehicle around as the tires smoked against the ground, then swiftly escaped against the flow of traffic.

Meanwhile, one of the enforcers, a tall, burly man in a suit with a shaved head, pulled out a gun from his waist and chased after them, firing back twice. Unfortunately, he failed to hit the two on the motorcycle as they turned the corner and disappeared.

"The shooter has fled! Don’t show yourselves, the enforcer still has a gun!"

Gu Ji held his breath.

Just then, a series of unique characters appeared before his eyes:

[Crisis Event Detected, Entering Reality Glory Checkpoint;]

[Anchoring and Loading...]

[Time]: 1:12:34 AM, December 3, 2024;

[Location]: Tokyo, Japan

[Background]: At the time, the second largest designated violent group, Yijuan Association’s sixth-generation leader, died at home, causing a commotion both within the underworld and police circles. Subsidiary branch leaders and underlings have been eager to act, while the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department concentrated thousands of officers to try to curb violent events by the Yijuan Association, involving intelligence departments from Xia, America, and Japan.

Bribery, violence, kidnapping, threats, assassination...

This is destined to be a battlefield filled with blood and desire, and you are already in this perilous black whirlpool.

As a special police officer from the Xia Kingdom;

What choice will you make?

[Crisis Event Begins!]

[Japan Police Department will arrive at the scene in 2 minutes and 31 seconds;]

[Please make your choice!]

A, [Do Nothing]

B, [Capture the Enforcer]

C, [Inspect the Body]

(Note: Once a player makes a choice, they must act according to the option content, otherwise, subsequent rewards may be affected, or the player might be subjected to negative penalties by the system!)

What the hell is this!?

Gu Ji was slightly stunned to see the game text appear before him.

He never thought the Glory Checkpoint would come so quickly and suddenly, especially since the game’s checkpoint cooldown had not even ended, and his treasure chest hadn’t been opened, not even the [Poison Needle Trap] refreshed.

But reality doesn’t allow him to hesitate.

The system only gave him 60 seconds to choose, and the Japan Police Department would arrive on the scene in over two minutes, leaving Gu Ji with very little room to maneuver.

"Choosing option A won’t change my current situation, whereas choosing option B would gain favor with the Japan police, but would also mean a direct confrontation with the gang, possibly impacting the current mission..."

Is the system trying to make me choose sides?!

Gu Ji instantly understood, recalling the DLC’s rules.

The Reality Glory Checkpoint divides factions based on player choices, the first two representing the Xia Kingdom’s special police and the Tokyo Police Headquarters respectively. If he chose the last option C, it’s likely a solo route for maximizing personal gain.

Choose A!

Since it’s the real world, Gu Ji can’t act recklessly like in a game checkpoint; every decision and action must be weighed carefully, as there’s no going back in reality.

Getting injured is minor, but losing his life means it’s game over!

He now represents the Xia Kingdom Public Security Special Police. Zhang Wenjun repeatedly emphasized in the office that they have no law enforcement authority in Japan. Unless the situation becomes extremely serious, doing nothing is the safest choice, otherwise, it could accidentally spark a diplomatic incident.

Moreover, Gu Ji doesn’t yet understand what’s happening in Japan and with the Yijuan Association.

Better to observe for now...

[You chose "Do Nothing";]

[You gained the reward "Investigation Skill Enhancement (Mid-tier)"!]

As the text dissipated, Gu Ji immediately felt his "vision" become much sharper. With a glance, the armed man in a suit among the enforcers caught his eye.

Est. height 178 cm, weight 95 kg, very fit.

While walking, primarily places weight on left foot, deliberately avoiding the right one?

Possible injury on the right leg.

This man should be the leader among these enforcers; judging by his expression and the fact he fired in a crowded area, he was very loyal to the deceased.

This information processed in Gu Ji’s mind in just about a second.

He quickly looked at the lower right of his field of vision.

Sure enough, there was a new marker.

[Investigation Skill Enhancement (Mid-tier)]: Increases observation ability by 31%, enhances thinking and adaptability by 23%, and improves investigation operational ability by 18!

"So in the Glory Checkpoint, every faction choice made has fixed rewards behind it?"

This was a bit unfamiliar to him, used to game checkpoints.

However, luckily this investigation marker fits his "Do Nothing" choice, aligning well with Gu Ji’s current growth attributes, especially in observation.

Being a special police officer himself, plus a one-third bonus, it was like receiving divine assistance.

"Gao, Gao Bo, what should we do now? Should we contact Mr. Hao first?" hiding under the steering wheel, Lang Shaobo swallowed nervously and asked.
