Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 463 - 217: Stage Mechanisms

"That’s also why the top sent us here."

If the mission wasn’t difficult, there would be no need to send Gu Ji and the other two special forces officers over. "Don’t worry, that Mr. Hao seems very serious and responsible, he definitely won’t let us engage in a direct confrontation with the gang."

"Gu Ji is right, there will always be a way out, everyone should rest early, let’s go, Wu Kang!"

Gao Bo chose to unconditionally trust Gu Ji, patted Wu Kang’s shoulder, and led him out of the room.

Only one person was left alone.

Gu Ji hurriedly used his mind to open the game task in the lower-left corner.

[New Objective: Find Shajit Debunat, leader of the Fusong Gang!]

This appeared suddenly when he left the crime scene in Hao Tongxi’s private car. It seems the system determined he completed the choice of "holding off," so it refreshed the current target mission.

The Fusong Gang has no relation to the Yijuan Association.

It’s the first time Gu Ji heard this name, from the report information sent by Baron and Wa Xueming.

Indeed, it’s a human-smuggling black gang specializing in kidnapping and trafficking.

Their influence extends across Southeast Asia and North America, often kidnapping, abducting, and luring women and children from coastal areas of the Xia Kingdom and Southeast Asia, then selling them to Japan and North America for the sex industry, as well as organizing drug trafficking and other criminal activities.

"This mission aligns with the direction of National Security’s investigation, it seems that because I chose ’holding off,’ the game has temporarily grouped me with Xia Kingdom’s Public Security and National Security."

For Gu Ji, who is just encountering the Glory level in reality, everything is unfamiliar.

Firstly, the reality Glory level has no difficulty indicator.

This is actually a kind of weakening.

This way, Gu Ji cannot explicitly judge the danger level of the stage.

Fortunately, the game added a [Background] introduction this time, which in a way reveals some intelligence information.

The description of the Yijuan Association and Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department can be temporarily ignored. The most important is the latter part of the sentence: "Intelligence agencies from the three countries of Xia, the United States, and Japan are also involved."

How can an ordinary gang internal conflict involve two superpowers and one powerful nation’s intelligence agencies?

Obviously.

Everything revolves around Liangben and the mysterious compounds and drugs in Abe Shigehide’s hands.

The National Security Bureau is here because of the investigation of "Shao Liang," and the Americans are involved because of the [Poison Needle Trap] used by Baron in the bomb stage, but he can’t quite understand the sole involvement of the Japanese intelligence agency.

Gu Ji had heard rumors about the Japanese Yakuza colluding with politics and business,

but it’s his first time seeing the gang associated with intelligence agencies.

Could it be that those special hallucinogens and high-molecular compounds in Liangben’s possession are actually secretly granted by the Japanese intelligence agency?

In any case.

Because of the entry of these three forces, the difficulty of this level is bound to soar straight up.

Especially the DIA that Baron mentioned, the United States Defense Intelligence Agency.

Mind you, the military’s methods are much harsher than the government’s!

Besides that, Gu Ji also discovered some new mechanisms.

Compared to the reality and classic stages where attribute enhancement progress is paused, there are no restrictions within the Glory stage; whether it’s attributes, opening treasure chests, or even enhancing knowledge skills, all can be freely operated.

This means that Gu Ji can totally spend crisis points for acceleration now.

But he’s not in a hurry for now.

After all, Glory stages have no mission time limit, and the treasure chest cooldown will end tomorrow, saving is better, and acceleration can be done immediately if necessary.

"I wonder what the outcome of this trip to Japan will be..."

Gu Ji squinted his eyes, lay on the bed, his consciousness grew heavier, and eventually he fell into a slumber.

Upon opening his eyes again,

He was startled awake by the knocking on the door.

"Wait a minute." Gu Ji raised his wrist to check the time, it was already 8 o’clock in the morning, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, moved close to the wall, opened a crack in the door, saw that it was Lang Shaobo, and then removed the safety chain.

"Sorry, Mr. Gu, I sent you a message, but you didn’t reply, so I thought of coming up to check."

Although Lang Shaobo was two or three years older than Gu Ji, his tone was especially polite.

When he first received the notification and saw their resumes, he thought it was another "leader’s child" coming over for gilding, but after last night’s unexpected event, Lang Shaobo found that the calmness and composure Gu Ji exhibited were on par with those seasoned detectives like Hao Tongxi; he didn’t expect all the big case and major case experiences written above to be entirely genuine!

"I should apologize, I was a bit tired yesterday, so I slept quite soundly."

Gu Ji rubbed his eyelids.

Mainly because he encountered a "fake player" on the plane last evening, and also ran into the Glory stage, his nerves were tense all the time, and combined with prolonged thinking and analysis, it indeed made him a bit weary.

"No rush, get yourself ready first, I’ll wait for you in the hotel lobby, Mr. Hao might be busy till after 9, having breakfast afterwards is still in time."

"Thanks a lot."

Gu Ji quickly washed his face, went downstairs, and found Gao Bo and Wu Kang also looking sleepy.

After finishing breakfast, the three of them took Lang Shaobo’s car and turned into a compound surrounded by a large iron gate, with military officers standing guard at the entrance. In the center stood a yellow-roofed, white rectangular building, with the Xia Kingdom flag standing before it.

This was the Xia Kingdom’s embassy in Japan.

Lang Shaobo led Gu Ji and the others all the way to the consular section on the third floor, and the second office in the hallway was labeled "Police Liaison Office."

Opening the door, the clerks in the office were busy handing documents to Hao Tongxi.

The embassy is different from the consulate, with jurisdiction covering all areas of the host country, so all cases involving people from the Xia Kingdom occurring within Japan flow through the Police Liaison Office, keeping Hao Tongxi extremely busy with work.
