Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 469 - 220: The Power Behind the Scenes

Looking at the game text floating mid-air in front of him.

The system continued to make Gu Ji choose.

Although these options were relatively reasonable courses of action in the current environment, unlike the relatively neutral first round, any choice he made this time would offend one or more factions.

First, option C would infuriate the gangs.

Second, option B was challenging because he had no law enforcement authority in Japan; conducting interrogations would be illegal, not only completely tearing his relationship with Liangben but also possibly attracting the attention of the American DIA and the National Security Bureau.

And the most terrifying was the last option, A.

On the surface, the only beneficiary seemed to be himself: exclusive intelligence; possibly finding Jian Na’s mother first, and even other important hostages; gaining Jian Na’s trust, among other things.

But what Gu Ji had to pay for this wasn’t just the threat and intimidation of civilians, standing against all factions, but also dealing with the "exposure" problem!

Exactly.

The scene where he took Shajit’s mobile data was witnessed by Lang Shaobo and some passersby.

Because of this, the system considerately highlighted this fact.

In fact, it was guiding him, implying that if he chose option A, he’d have to deal with these "witnesses" first.

The solution is obvious.

Otherwise, when the Japanese police question the witnesses, or if the National Security Bureau finds out he privately walked away with the evidence, there would be no turning back. At worst, he’d be on the police’s wanted list. Gu Ji would go on the run, bringing the codename: 7472 unit into the open, achieving his various goals.

In other words.

Option A was guiding him to commit a crime!

Thinking this through, Gu Ji instinctively felt a chill down his spine.

To be honest, when he saw the mobile data, he was a little tempted to investigate further.

Because the file exposed not only "Shajit" but also a name quite familiar to him: "Holy Master Prayer Group"!

This was one of the terrorist organizations Gu Ji had previously seen in Riddle’s computer ledger during an airplane task!

No wonder Shajit muttered "Holy Master bless" just before he died. Initially, he thought the guy was a devout Christian, but it turned out he was a terrorist!

Thus, the Fusong Gang’s refusal to hand over Jian Na’s mother, and even risking a fallout with Liangben, made sense.

Because the true controller behind this Human Snake Gang was a terrorist organization.

If Shajit discovered Jian Na’s true identity as a member of the codename: 7472 unit, then for the Holy Master Prayer Group, the leverage of having a counter-terrorism member’s family was far more valuable than the meager compensation Liangben offered.

After all, just what was on the surface.

had already solved two major international terrorist attack cases, prompting intelligence agencies globally to launch frenzied investigations. How could the Holy Master Prayer Group not take it seriously?

"The dead illegal arms dealer Kilika, PM Company, Riddle, and the assassinated pilot, as well as these frequently appearing terrorist organizations, the Mexican Drug Cartel, the Japanese Yakuza, is there any link behind them..."

Gu Ji couldn’t shake the feeling that things might not be as simple as they seemed on the surface.

At this moment, Lang Shaobo also ran up from behind, panting, glancing at the body on the ground, and said, "Mr. Gu, are we not going to chase those people?"

"The main target was this person, it’s just a pity he’s already dead."

Gu Ji temporarily shelved his thoughts, put the mobile into his pocket, and after a comprehensive consideration, chose option C.

Because option C, aside from offending the gangs, had the least loss for his current identity. It not only could win favor from the Japanese police but also utilize the mobile data to gain attention from the National Security Bureau without attracting undue notice.

[You have chosen option C!]

[You’ve received the reward "Danger Alert *3"!]

After the words transformed into white dust and dissipated, in the upper-right corner of Gu Ji’s vision, a red head icon targeted by a sight appeared, somewhat resembling the drone in a bomb scenario.

Blue [Danger Alert *3]: You will receive warnings about dangers from within an 800-meter radius that are imperceptible to the naked eye, including natural disasters, accidents, public health issues, and human attacks, with a success rate of over 95%. The more radio devices around, the more accurate this function will be. (EMP weapons can significantly affect or even render this ability ineffective.)

This is incredible!

This was practically an enhanced version of the "High Alert" ultimate PERK skill in the "Call of Duty" game.

Although there’s a chance of alert failure, this capability still stunned Gu Ji.

Is it based on data-driven surveillance and predictions?

Because he noticed the terms "radio" and "electromagnetic pulse."

Regardless, having this is like possessing a "sixth sense," which could save his life when it matters most, and it’s three opportunities!

It seemed the game system was afraid he’d be assassinated by the gang!

Speaking of gangs, Gu Ji looked up at the overturned van in the middle of the road. The door panel had been deformed, the window glass shattered all over the ground, and the white airbags inside had all burst, with eye-catching bloodstains visible here and there.

At this moment, two dark figures crawled out one after another from the windshield opening.

Holding their injured foreheads, they cursed as they sneered and grimaced.

That tough-looking henchman leader, shaped like a wild boar, directed another lean sidekick to pull the rest of the people out of the car, then fumbled in his pocket. While taking out a phone to report, he ran toward the alley beside.
