Chapter 22: The Gap Between Light and Darkness (Part II)

Gu Wu is currently in command of the troops directly under him, the protagonist who came here, and the committee that manages this event, but even so, he didn't solve the problem in the first place.

The world is vast, the cities are huge, and malicious people often raid the dark corners and cause irreparable trouble.

And in addition to those who like to act in secret, some of the troublemakers who forcibly stand on the stage also bring unpredictable problems, just like the previous suicide attack against Gu Wu.

It can be inferred from this that there are many troublemakers in this sports conference, and they belong to different camps, and this obvious gap will only appear because there is no unified concept.

This is naturally a good thing for Gu Wu, if the enemy is not united, it will be exposed, and then he will be able to send someone to wipe it out.

Gu Wu's eyes fell on the TV screen, and at this moment he was broadcasting the special feature and some news of today's sports venue, and he did not report all the recent incidents that Gu Wu learned, which proved that the secrecy work was still very good.

But what is happening now will be revealed sooner or later, Gu Wu never thought that he would hide it from everyone until the end of the sports conference.

The task that Gu Wu got from the system was to 'make the sports meeting complete', so he could know that most of the enemies arranged by the system wanted to stop the sports meeting, and they were likely to attack each venue.

"Everyone slept late today...... I'm going to have a meeting with a few of the members of the committee, Kasumigaoka, Luise, and Tina, and the three of you will go and meet Miss AltaΓ―r and them tomorrow. ”

"Could it be that Mr. Gu Wu has forgotten our original agreement? This is just the beginning of the work. ”

"How can I forget, anyway, there is still a lot of time, and I have to put it aside for a while before I get those guys done, so let's go over together, so that it will be easier for me to attract each other as bait."

"Bait? Isn't it too dangerous? ”

"Miss Kasumigaoka."

Gu Wu, who turned around, emphasized

"Tomorrow is my lucky day, and there will be absolutely no problems on this day, at least not for me."

After all, he can copy a day's skills tomorrow, and when the time comes, he will take Altair to his side, and then let her go to protect Shimazaki Aki.

"Mr. Gu Wu's tone is very confident, meaning that he can also solve the problem in the next few days?"

"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I can guarantee it."

Gu Wu's promise here was not a lie made in order to deceive Xia Zhiqiu, because he was indeed sure that the incident against the movement would be resolved within two days.

Hearing Gu Wu's firm tone, Xia Zhiqiu knew that he couldn't do much while staying here, so he chose to compromise.

However, Loise was a little different, and with enough strength she didn't think she was a problem.

"Since the master wants to stay here, then I won't leave!"

"I'm not asking you to leave, but I'm going to let you go with Miss Kasumigaoka, and for you who want to become stronger, the work done during the time you have been separated from my master is a proof of your strength, and I will tell you all the skills I have learned when the time comes."

said that it is a skill, but it is just a skill in talking and adjusting the mentality, these come from Gu Wu's experience, and it cannot be called a secret that should be kept.

"Those who attacked you...... I don't plan to give up yet......"

Tina's voice was wrong, but she was unusually serious.

That's right, as an arranged 'enemy', it is impossible for the other side to end the operation because of a few failures.

"I'll see you again when everything is back to normal, so don't worry about it now, just enjoy the fun of this sports city, and I'll have to 'indulge in work'."

When Gu Wu came to this city, he followed Xia Zhiqiu, Luise, and Tina to act together, so he had to separate.

Not only that, Gu Wu didn't plan to meet the protagonists who came here offline, because that would reveal their whereabouts, and what Gu Wu needed now was concealment.

"You must have a certain clue to what you just said, am I right?"

"What does Miss Kasumigaoka think the hero of the reasoning will do at this time?"

"Touching melons along the vine?"

"Yes, but there's another reason, and that's to catch big fish with a long line."

Xia Zhiqiu didn't quite understand what Gu Wu meant, but he understood his self-confidence.

Gu Wu grasped the point, but he hadn't uncovered it yet.

"It's time to rest."

Gu Wu reminded the girl beside him, and Xia Zhiqiu responded

"Do you want to be together?"

"I'm fine."

The moment he answered, Gu Wu was caught by two Lori, who had already regarded the black-haired beauty of Kasumigaoka as an enemy in a war.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Early the next morning, after Gu Wu arranged the itinerary of Xia Zhiqiu, he left the hotel alone.

He first used the phone to contact the soldiers who were moving around the city.

"Monitor every move of the suspicious person, all the calls he makes and the messages he sends are also intercepted, and if something is wrong, he can cut it first and then prevent the situation from becoming more serious."

[Mr. Gu Wu, we understand your request, but the other side has quite strong security measures, and the possibility of random intrusion being discovered in turn is very high, and if you go too far at once, it will affect the entire operation. 】

"Aren't you elite?"

[I think the other party has the same power.] 】

"I'm not deliberately embarrassing you, that object is indeed a local tyrant......"

In short, do your best, Gu Wu's requirements for the soldiers are nothing more, after all, he is neither a general nor an official, and there is no so-called hard target.

Is this a form of gentleness?

Gu Wu thought that the trouble came from himself, so when he asked others for help, he eased it a little.

However, from the perspective of a 'sole manager', this kind of gentleness is not an acceptable practice......

The world needs to be regulated, and Gu Wu's actions will have a long-term impact on it.

"It's really troublesome."

Gu Wu looked at the time, it was currently eight o'clock, and the members of the committee he had convened would meet at half past eight, at a twenty-four-hour restaurant not far from the hotel where he lived.

Before heading to the restaurant, Gu Wu called Altair's phone.

I thought it was a bit early, but the other party answered the call within five seconds.

[What's the matter?] 】

"Good morning, Miss Altair, I want to borrow your strength, preferably to meet now, and then you can go back and enjoy this vacation with Miss Shimazaki."

[What's going on over there?] 】

"Some guys who are keen to do things are moving around and are preparing to deal with them, and Kasumigaoka, Luise, and Tina will be coming over today."

[You guy...... You said it could be solved quickly, right? It's not okay for you to be passive all the time in charge of this world. 】

It's a bit of a surprise, but ......

"I've got some of the information, I've found the cause of my madness and the candidate for the culprit, and it can end today or today."

[I hope so, I'll go now.] 】

"Then I'll send me the address."

Ten minutes later, Gu Wu met Altair who suddenly appeared at the agreed place, and the two did not have a detailed conversation, after all, they both knew each other's thoughts.

Because there are things that must be protected, they will do their best, and they don't need to be reminded.

Having copied the power from Altair, Gu Wu, who had become 'invincible' himself, thought about the next conversation with the committee members.

"Now you don't need me to leave and come to help you when the time comes, do you?"

"Of course, it's better for Miss Shimazaki to be in charge of your safety, and please take care of Miss Kasumigaoka."

"I'm not a babysitter, as long as they don't mess around."

"I don't think so."

Gu Wu said goodbye to AltaΓ―r and walked towards the hall.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Drugs have side effects, and this side effect is not to cause a wound in the body, but to directly cause a heavy blow to the mind.

After Aldridge swallowed the drugs, his appearance changed, his physical strength increased, and he gained abnormal recovery powers, but at the cost of cannibalizing his spirit.

Once the effects of these drugs have passed, the nerves will be torn and painful, making it unbearable.

But even if you know that taking medicine can relieve pain and gain strength, the medicine is limited and must be used where necessary.

Aldrich endured the pain of being torn under his skin, and he left the original hotel and went to the target location, which was the hotel where [Kasumigaoka, Luise, and Tina] were.

Leaning against the wall not far from the hotel, Aldridge, who sat on the stairs along the wall, checked the current situation.

The first is that there is a medicine hidden in the mouth, and once it is bitten, it can be eaten to give effect to it;

The second is the target location, which does not have any error with the specified location on the phone.

Then you just have to wait, the other party is a black-haired girl and two little girls, and it is easy to see if you are in a group of three.

Aldrich wasn't going to hurt them, but was going to use them to try to threaten the 'sole manager' and let them go if that didn't work.

"I don't know how long they'll show up."

Aldrich, who was already a little impatient, took out the bento in his gray backpack, and the dish was very simple, just a few pieces of meat plus cabbage and rice, he personally liked this simple dish.

Aldrich, who started his breakfast as a place to avoid being obtrusive, moved from his original standby position to a nearby open-air seat, with a breakfast restaurant that opened early behind him and a few fast food restaurants and convenience stores around him, perfect for sitting and waiting for his chance.

Aldrich, who arrived at the location, also met a number of people who had come out for breakfast, and their eyes swept over him and began to whisper something.

Is it about dressing?

Aldrich liked trench coat-style clothing, which was like a fortress to him.

At the same time, in order to take care of the strengthened large size, Aldrich was actually wearing a trench coat that was larger than himself, so he now looked baggy, like a fool who couldn't pick clothes.

Not caring about the gaze of others, Aldrich did not take his attention off and kept staring at the door of the hotel not far away, and many people were already coming and going at this moment.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen that Mr. Gu Wu just now, when he came over there."

"Is it the 'sole manager' on TV? Like a child's name, I never thought that our city would be run by him. ”

"It must not be just him, but a team, and a team always needs a representative."

"Who knows?"

Hearing their conversation, Aldrich realized that he had just missed a great opportunity.

But if you think about it carefully, since the other party dares to go out, it proves that he has many bodyguards, and he may have set up an ambush, so it is safer to use someone he knows as bait, after all, he can let the other party come out to meet alone.

After eating something, the cold rice and meat pieces lifted his spirits, and the nerve pain that had been torn a lot had been reduced.

Of course, side effects remain.

If you want to gain power, you have to pay a price, and rightfully so.

Aldridge didn't feel annoyed, since he missed the opportunity to prove that his next move was predestined, he had to do it well.

"Everyone else seems to be planning to act together today."

Today is not a special day, but there are many people who can't bear it, and now that the sports conference is being held the next day, it is estimated that people who have not produced results will do something.

Like Aldrich, they want to change the situation, but there are some people who are on the extreme side.

Such a person does not have a specific enemy, but treats everyone as a bastard against himself and then retaliates.

Aldrich has principles and does not inflict malice on others.

However, Aldrich himself knows that he is also a person who will go to extremes.

Throwing the empty box into the trash, Aldrich suddenly smelled a smell, a smell that was not familiar, but had been remembered.

Or rather...... It is the taste of the same kind.

After taking the drug, the body will have a strong ability to heal itself, but the mental blow often makes people can't help but self-harm, which is regarded as not consuming the drug to suppress the feeling of pain.

Aiming physical pain against mental pain, for which there will be a special 'smell' on the body, Aldrich felt it.

There is only one resultβ€”β€”β€”

Someone, like Aldrich, has his eye on the three girls who are related to the 'sole manager'.
