Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 198 - 116: Death Livestream

"Vehicle inspection is complete."

"OK, leave it to us!"

A dark-skinned member of the Flying Tiger Team nodded, signaling his partner to take over the alert.

And just at that moment when the two sides passed each other.

Jian Na and Gu Ji exchanged another glance, but she quickly followed the Flying Tiger Team and left the scene.

Until they got inside the vehicle.

Tanamura Katsushin noticed she was somewhat absent-mindedly staring out the window and asked:

"What's the matter, is there any problem?"

"No, Minister."

Jian Na turned her head, using the corner of her eye to glance at the camouflaged armed SWAT outside the car. For some reason, she always felt someone was watching her, like being stared at by a predator.

Recently, she had been intently investigating Ito Meiyu's case.

After exchanging information with Watanabe Yoshi, she obtained information about a former psychiatric clinic at 3rd District, No. 19-6, which is now one of the backers behind the Nishijou Credit Company, and this company has deep connections with organized crime.

This led to the discovery of an extremely violent group active in Japan during the 2020s: Liangben, which primarily operated in the northern and western regions of Japan, with its influence extending across Japan's four islands and even reaching South Korea.

The group was involved in drug trading and had once spread a new drug called "Paradise" in small circles.

After Watanabe Yoshi's thorough investigation.

Jian Na finally pinpointed one of the sources, the current second-ranked of the new three major violent groups in Japan: Ji Quan Association's chairman, Abe Shigehide!

Abe Shigehide was once one of the founders of Liangben, rumored to have a large group of fanatical followers willing to die for him. At only thirty years old, he has become the third-ranking figure in the Ji Quan Association.

It was because she traced it here.

She became nervous recently, fearing being targeted by violent syndicates.

"I just hope everything is fine, and I have no idea when I can contact that mysterious organization again, 7472..."

Jian Na rubbed her eyelids, her thoughts drifting back to the cruise incident two months ago.

"Ah-choo!"

Police Tactical Unit Headquarters.

Gu Ji sneezed.

In the afternoon, after escorting ministers back to their hotels, having completed their mission, everyone could finally return to their dorms to rest.

Gao Bo took off his jacket and said:

"I really didn't expect Wu Kang to cooperate with you today, just like during the previous training. Although he disagreed with you being the team leader, at the last moment he still followed your orders to check the targets. I thought he would sabotage secretly."

"It's normal because he's a cop."

Gu Ji rubbed his nose, "No matter how much animosity there is in private, at crucial moments, the mission comes first. Don't forget, we all swore under the police badge. If you can't even trust your colleagues during a mission, who can you trust?"

"True, if he were in charge, even if I found it disgusting, I would cooperate."

Gao Bo shook his head and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, since we have a day off tomorrow, how about we take a spin around Xiangzhou City Center? I've got some stuff to buy for my family anyway!"

"Sure."

Gu Ji remembered how Chen Zhiyu had taken great care of him recently, and decided it was time to get her a gift as compensation, along with something for his mom and colleagues.

Fourth day.

Most of the SWAT officers had left the Tactical Unit base; after all, it's rare to be in Xiangzhou on a business trip, definitely worth sightseeing.

Girls' Dormitory.

A short-haired female SWAT officer from Shenzhou was in front of the mirror:

"Yanan, let's go out for a stroll in a bit; we have to head back to the airport in the afternoon."

"You go ahead; I need to return the notes to Gu Ji quickly."

Li Yanan was looking over the notes while copying them.

The short-haired female SWAT officer, with a "smelling gossip" expression on her face, raised her head and smiled at her, "What's going on, Yanan, you two wouldn't be..."

"It's not as complicated as you think."

"True, after all, you two just met not long ago. But Gu Ji is quite something, good looking, capable, just a bit small..."

"Small where?"

"Of course, his age; what else do you think!"

Amused by the teasing from the short-haired female SWAT officer, Li Yanan finally reacted, playfully reaching out to give her a slap, only for the other to dodge.

"Hahaha, even our cool beauty can blush; you wait for your Gu Ji here, while I go find someone to shop with!"

...

In the afternoon, Gu Ji and Gao Bo returned to the base with their shopping bags.

Not long after they arrived at the dormitory.

His phone vibrated, and upon glancing at it, he saw it was Li Yanan.

"I've finished with the notes, thank you. When would it be convenient for you to get them back?"

"Anytime, I just got to the dorm."

"Then I'll wait for you downstairs."

Gao Bo saw Gu Ji going out and coming back, and instinctively asked, "What's up?"

"Li Yanan is returning the notes."

"Tsk tsk tsk... Gu Ji, not to criticize, but have you succumbed to moral decay, or have you been corrupted by twisted human nature; how did you end up like this?"

"What did I do?"

"Yesterday you were eyeing the Japanese woman, and today you're buying gifts for Chen Zhiyu. Before even settling back home, you're hitting on the cool female SWAT officer, truly a master of time management!"

Gu Ji was rendered speechless, "Bro, with such imagination, why not write a novel?"

...

Returning from Xiangzhou to Ningzhou.

The group of six parted ways at the airport exit. Although they hadn't been together long, both Liu Weijun and Zhou Yang, Zhao Hua, were all nice people. Coupled with having undergone various training together, they had become a team of sorts.

"See you again someday!"

"You're welcome to visit our unit anytime!"

"You too, come find Gu Ji and me if you visit Ningjiang District!"

They hugged each other goodbye. Gu Ji looked at Wu Kang, and also extended his hand, "Goodbye, Wu Kang."

Wu Kang was slightly surprised but quickly extended his hand in response, "Goodbye."

At nine o'clock in the evening.

Ningzhou SWAT Unit.

A taxi stopped at the unit's entrance, and out came a tall man with a military crew cut, none other than Liu Weijun, back from the airport.

He looked up at the office on the third floor inside, the light on at the innermost room. Smiling subtly, he walked through the door.

Knock knock.

"Come in."

Liu Weijun pushed open the door to find two people inside. One of them, behind the desk, was Li Ruilin in a white shirt.

The other, a man in his thirties wearing a blue-black tactical outfit, had a square face and deep-set eyes. He was the Deputy Captain of the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team: Lei Wanshan!

"You came back pretty fast, sit down, how was your experience in Xiangzhou these past few days?"

"Mr. Li, you're really impressive; I'm fully convinced now, even more than my brother."

Liu Weijun pulled up a chair and sat down, giving a thumbs up, and then shared all the details of the exchange event in Xiangzhou, especially about Gu Ji and Gao Bo.

After listening, Li Ruilin didn't rush to a conclusion; instead, he glanced at Lei Wanshan.

"Mr. Lei, what's your take?"

"He's developed rapidly; compared to the level I saw during the graduation exercises, he's risen a whole tier. This kind of progress requires at least a year of concentrated training, plus three to four major case operations," Lei Wanshan replied calmly, as if nothing could faze him.

Li Ruilin glanced at the locked drawer at the bottom right of his desk, then asked again.

"Do you think he's capable?"

"He's a genius."

...

After returning to Ningzhou, Gu Ji distributed gifts to his colleagues, and the one for his mom was mailed back to Jingzhou.

The only gift he didn't manage to give was the one he bought for Chen Zhiyu.

That child seemed to have taken up a new case, so she didn't have the time to meet up yet.

Reluctantly, he left the gift at home for now.

After a week on duty, September was already here, and he finally endured to reach a new weekend.

After work in the evening, Gu Ji eagerly returned home.

After getting everything ready, he clicked on the game's level selection screen.

Four levels flashed by smoothly, and looking at the latest level's factory explosion toxic gas background screen, honestly, the game artwork was quite appealing. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

[Equip remaining items before entering the level?]

[Yes!]

Gu Ji equipped all three items in one go, thinking there was no harm in using them.

He clicked into the new level.

[Loading crisis randomly...]

[Modern level loaded successfully! Current crisis: Death Live Broadcast; Crisis type: Societal Security; Crisis level: Red (Moderate); Impact scope: Local; Remaining time: 8 hours 23 minutes 34 seconds.]

As the text progressed.

Gu Ji, whose consciousness was gradually becoming blurred, thought he was hallucinating.

8 hours!

A 35-fold time difference, yet only 8 hours...

Doesn't that mean the incident will happen soon?

How many chances does he have to reload?

While these thoughts swirled in his head, a feeling of spinning darkness swallowed him, and his consciousness sank into complete blackness...
