Chapter 9: The So-Called 'Dictator'
As Gu Wu imagined, it was absolutely impossible for the sports conference held this time to end successfully like the previous ones, and the troubles set by the system had already been highlighted and interfered with his tasks.
Gu Wu, who had originally planned to have some breakfast with Kasumigaoka, after opening the door, faced with the notice of the members of the organizing committee, he became serious again.
Gu Wu recalled what the system had said, the main purpose of this mission was to make the sports conference successfully completed, so Gu Wu, as the manager of the entire organizing committee, naturally had a reason to maintain its existence.
Even if the final decision rests with Gu Wu, if there are no members of the organizing committee, Gu Wu will definitely be busy in the next activities.
After all, for some people, it cannot be implemented without Gu Wu's consent, which will also slow down the entire project and affect the progress of sports events.
The organizing committee represents a part of Gu Wu's rights, they can make their own decisions on various issues, and they can solve the problem first and then report to Gu Wu, instead of being timid and blindly waiting for Gu Wu's instructions.
To put it simply, each member of the organizing committee is like Gu Wu's hands and feet, with Gu Wu as the center, to keep the entire sports conference running.
If the members of the organizing committee in front of you are missing one after another, then the organizing committee that loses its management personnel is equivalent to existing in name only, and the troubles caused everywhere cannot be dealt with in the first place.
Thinking of this, Gu Wu understood that the system had mentioned before, 'It's not only powerful opponents that are troublesome enemies'.
Gu Wu is very strong now, he can summon artists, and he can also copy abilities, so those opponents, or troublemakers set by the system, will pick soft persimmons.
Rather than bumping into each other, the bastards hidden in the shadows prefer to 'challenge' Gu Wu from other angles.
So far, Gu Wu has a feeling of being led by the nose, but this is also something that can't be helped, after all, everything is set by the system, and as a 'host', it is difficult for him to predict the idea of the system; whenever there is a development that is beyond the prediction and does not exist in the plot, Gu Wu only has passive defense and counterattack.
But Gu Wu didn't feel that this would put him at a disadvantage, because once the enemy showed his feet and made a mistake, Gu Wu would immediately end the other party's life.
Let's let everyone enter the room first, and at this time, Kasumigaoka also ran to the bedroom in advance to change into clothes for going out, and also sat down in the spacious living room.
Although Gu Wu thought about letting Xia Zhiqiu return to the bedroom, according to the girl's character, this request was mostly useless.
"With Mr. Gu Wu's words, there are a total of 12 members of the organizing committee, and the missing person is Horace Anderson, a member of No. 6, who is mainly responsible for the transportation industry, and he is responsible for the equipment of various gymnasiums, the drinking water that tourists need, and the shouting flags that are distributed."
The person who explained to Gu Wu was Clolayd, who had been in contact yesterday, and at this moment, he also had a serious expression and continued to speak
"The disappearance is presumed to be between 10 and 11 o'clock last night, and his family is safe, except for Horace, who was kidnapped."
"Are there security cameras?"
"We contacted the police station and the traffic minister here, and before looking for Mr. Gu Wu, we called up the surveillance video near Horace's residence, and there was no suspicion from the video at the intersection, so we deduced that the kidnapper broke into the house from the backyard."
"Where's Horace's camera?"
Regarding Gu Wu's question, Chlolayed shook his head.
"It was vandalized just this morning, and after re-calling the surveillance, it can be seen that it was deliberately sabotaged by a group of people pretending to be power personnel."
"Looks like you've been prepared for a long time...... So caught those fake power people didn't you? β
"Yes, it's been caught."
It's still very efficient.
At that moment, the bearded man next to Chlolayed picked up his speech.
"The interrogation began at two o'clock in the morning, and the power workers only said that they were hired and were paid handsomely, and then decided to do it, as for the client...... The hired power crews also did not provide any useful intelligence. β
This group of people is very smart, and to put it bluntly, they are old drivers.
They had already done what Gu Wu had just considered, and it was precisely because they had not come to any conclusion that they would come over to Gu Wu for a discussion.
However, Gu Wu is neither a detective nor a psychic person, and he has no other way to deal with this sudden disappearance, especially if the clues are broken.
But at this time, Gu Wu noticed something, except for the kidnapped Horace, plus himself, there should be eleven members of the organizing committee here, but he only saw ten people.
Xia Zhiqiu, who was not counted by Gu Wu, noticed Gu Wu's expression, and she asked in a low voice
"Is there something wrong? Mr. Gu Wu's eyes sharpened. β
"One less."
Hearing Gu Wu say this, Cloride also responded immediately
"Mr. Gu Wu still remembers the member No. 1 whose camera was broken before, right? His name is Xia Sen, Xia Sen Sharp, although he is only thirty years old, he is a young man, but he is quite stable, and he is also the director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the sports conference, in addition to being responsible for the final of some competitions. β
"Is that he at the rehearsal for the opening ceremony?"
"Yes, we are waiting for you to come over, and we are here to personally inform you about the abduction."
"There are a lot of suspicions about this kidnapping incident, has the other party not contacted to ask for ransom or something so far?"
The other members of the organizing committee at the scene nodded, and seeing the tacit movements of the nine people, Kasumigaoka said his thoughts at this time.
"If you don't want money...... What was their reason for kidnapping that gentleman? Interfere with the transportation of this sports event? β
Regarding the topic opened by Kasumi Hill, everyone immediately began to discuss.
And Claulayd couldn't help but emphasize
"To tell the truth, Mr. Gu Wu must also know very well that this sports conference is not only about the victory and defeat between athletes, but also about us, the leaders and spectators, are also involved."
Spectators buy sports-related lottery tickets, and the members of the organizing committee have their own jobs and want to take the opportunity to expand and increase the number of trading partners.
Hearing Claulayd say this, Gu Wu figured out one thing.
"First of all, the search for the missing man, Mr. Horace, was intensified, and all the surveillance footage in the vicinity of his house was retrieved; Then, in response to the recent suicide bombings, I think it is necessary to inform the citizens. β
Gu Wu's decision made the members of the organizing committee look at each other, and it seemed a little surprised.
"Please slow down, Mr. Gu Wu, do you know how much impact it will have if this kind of incident is announced?"
"Yes! The culprit has not been found, and the source is not clear, so for those who come to Wald, isn't this a rather dangerous place?! β
"Even athletes can be implicated."
"Intelligence control alone is difficult enough, and if it were made public, it would certainly cause an uproar."
"Think about it, we don't want this event to end in failure."
Gu Wu understood what they meant, after all, it was the best result to be quiet at this time, but the troublemakers had no intention of stopping at all.
The first was a suicide bomb attack, and the second was the kidnapping of the members of the organizing committee, making it clear that it would not end easily.
"I also have my own means, you don't have to worry, just do your own thing."
Besides......
"I'll send someone to protect you after that."
"Mr. Gu Wu, we also have our own bodyguards."
Chloride accepted Gu Wu's kindness, but did not want to be watched by soldiers sent by outsiders.
"It's not a request, it's a request, after all, your safety is important to me, and it's important to this athletic event."
"I see, just do it."
If there is one reason why Gu Wu changed his plan and sent his direct troops over, one of them was indeed to spy on them.
Because Gu Wu's formation and the addresses of the members of the organizing committee have not been disclosed, can it be said that the other party has such a powerful intelligence gathering ability?
Regardless of the outcome, sending people to monitor the members of the organizing committee to prevent the appearance of inner ghosts is Gu Wu's idea.
"Is the same thing happening everywhere?"
"No, it's only happening in Wald."
Hearing Clolaid's answer, Gu Wu made a new decision.
"Let the heroes come over......"
Then the knock on the door sounded again, it was a special breakfast prepared for Gu Wu and Xia Zhiqiu in the hotel.
So the members of the organizing committee also stood up, said goodbye to Gu Wu and left the scene.
When they left, when the waiter brought the dining car to the living room, Gu Wu called Richardson's phone and asked him to change the original arrangement and send the protagonist and the troops who went everywhere to Wald, and now they can come in handy because they are short of manpower.
"Mr. Gu Wu, now is the best time to have breakfast."
"Yes."
"Then Mr. Gu Wu, how long will it take for the troubles here to be dealt with? It's okay for us to slow things down. β
"This one...... Do not worry. β
Gu Wu picked up the fork and declared
"I won't be disturbed in any way with Miss Kasumigaoka's itinerary."
"But it's more important over there."
"There's no difference, and it's important that Miss Kasumigaoka is right in front of me rather than something uncertain."
"Woo! From which part did you see it?! β
"Who knows?"
Gu Wu laughed and put the food into his mouth.
ββββ
The opening ceremony of the sports event was held in the largest gymnasium in Wald, so Gu Wu and Kasumigaoka rushed to their destination directly by car after breakfast.
On the car on the way, Xia Zhiqiu once again asked questions about Gu Wu's identity.
"The fact that Mr. Gu Wu was invited to the opening ceremony of the sports conference held in this big city, and that the people in charge who looked like big names were respectful to Mr. Gu Wu all proved one thing......!"
"Oh? What do you think it is? β
"Mr. Gu Wu must have a wealthy businessman family, or else he has a family that is an important member of the political circles, and only such a person will be treated like this."
"I don't know how to explain it...... The real truth is as unrealistic as the Arabian Nights to you. β
Is that so?
Kasumigaoka was puzzled, but she soon changed her mind.
"Actually, I don't have any special obsession with Mr. Gu Wu's true identity, because what kind of person Mr. Gu Wu is in front of me, as long as I know this, it's enough."
"That's the easiest way to understand."
"After all, you don't have to think too much about it when facing hentai."
hentaiοΌ
There is definitely something wrong with this perception!
"Even if Mr. Gu Wu seems to be the kind of passerby who disappears if he is thrown into the sea of people, he can always make some surprising actions, which is quite eye-catching and admirable."
"That's good."
"Reminds me of people on the news who teased puppies on the side of the road."
"Who is that?"
"That guy ended up at the aid station."
"Aren't you just a bum?!"
If you think about it, the homeless man is indeed the kind of person who can't see it when thrown into the sea of people, but will make eye-catching actions......
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu Wu will never encounter that kind of thing, I will prove that you are not that kind of person!"
"It sounded like saying that I looked exactly like a bum...... And don't underestimate the homeless. β
"I don't underestimate other people's thoughts."
Kasumigaoka so emphasized.
"It's just a different way of life."
The difference is that some people can choose the lifestyle they want, while others can't.
So what kind of person are you?
Gu Wu couldn't help but have doubts about this.
It is not free to be selected as the host by the system, but there is a free way to choose when it comes to performing tasks.
Freedom under non-freedom sounds rather awkward.
But it doesn't matter if you can't find the position, Gu Wu is quite satisfied with the life in front of him, and he also understands that he is making steady progress.
"Mr. Gu Wu, we have to arrive, it's a pity not to be a rescue station."
"Get out of the car."
Gu Wu and Xia Zhiqiu came outside the car, and a gymnasium covering a vast area appeared in front of the two.
At its entrance, a man who was close to 1.8 meters tall, wearing an autumn scarf and a knitted jacket saw Gu Wu and the two, so he walked quickly to Gu Wu with a group of people.
"Mr. Gu Wu, when we meet for the first time, I am Xia Sen Sharp."
"Hello."
"The beautiful lady here, too, welcome to Wald's gymnasium, even though it's closed."
Xia Sen, a man with a slight smile, was about to take the two of them in, but before that, Gu Wu proposed to him
"I might have to change your script."
"It's for...... What's happened recently? β
"Yes, I'm going to mobilize everyone."
"But ......"
"They'll take it."
Gu Wu, who owns this world, can provide them with what they want, and this is the role of power.
