The students who were going to school walked past in a scattered manner.
The crowd on Evergreen Commercial Street was still quite lively. It became truly quiet. The bell for class had already rung, and the sounds of students fighting had long faded away. There weren't many people on the commercial street in the morning.
The young man sitting in the open-air cafe put down the coffee cup in his hand. He still supported his chin with one hand.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
He seemed to be recalling something.
After a while, he looked up at the roof of the tallest building on the commercial street.
His expression was a little uncertain.
He didn't know what he was thinking.
Hunter?
Forget it.
The young man retracted his gaze and stood up to tidy up his clothes. He put the money for the coffee on the table and prepared to leave.
Since he couldn't find it, he could only think of other ways.
He would start with the students of this school.
His fake identity and fake name...
Autumn Tea Valley.
A black-haired young man carrying a violin bag brushed past him.
This young man was wearing a mask.
His eyes looked cold and distant.
She looked cold and distant and was dressed very fashionably.
He also had a black earring on his ear. He looked like an adult who was still in the rebellious stage.
Autumn Tea Valley, who had just given himself a fake name, stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked at the black-haired young man who had just brushed past him.
His eyes were fixed on the violin case on the black-haired young man's shoulder.
Was it a coincidence?
The black-haired young man had already arrived at the cafe where he had just sat.
With his back facing Autumn Tea Valley, he pulled down his mask and ordered a drink from the waiter. Then, he pulled his mask back up.
Then, he found a seat and sat down.
It was still some distance from where Autumn Tea Valley had just sat. There were several tables in between.
As if sensing Autumn Tea Valley's increasingly hot gaze, the black-haired young man raised his head and looked at him. He frowned and looked at him impatiently. He seemed to be asking him what the matter was.
Autumn Tea Valley retracted his gaze and left without hesitation. Whether it was a coincidence or not, now was not the time for him to be exposed. He was not prepared to dwell too much on this issue.
It was better to go to the police station and see what they had found.
In the customer reception hall on the first floor of the Flying Technology Building, a young man with short chestnut-colored hair walked in from the door. He was a very unfamiliar face to the staff of this company. He looked serious. His gaze swept across the hall, and he walked towards the front desk with a clear goal.
"Hello, I'm the project manager of the Yegu Group. I'm here to discuss cooperation with your company."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Yes."
"What is your name?"
"Xiao Guo Yasheng."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After speaking to the person in charge of the front desk, Xiao Guo Yesheng breathed a sigh of relief. His stern face finally softened a little. He felt that the identity he had drawn this time was simply a test for him.
Wasn't it a bit too much to ask a student who had just entered junior high school to work? Moreover, he didn't know anything about these things. Fortunately, he finally found the email of the chairman of Xiang Fei Technology yesterday. There was still a transfer of work with his company. Otherwise, he would probably be the first person to be eliminated.
Although this chairman was most likely not a guardian, it wasn't that there was no chance of cooperation. He just didn't know who was under this identity in their chat room. If it was one of those black-hearted people, he would probably be courting death now.
Let's take a gamble.
He thought.
He didn't want to be a useless character in this game. He had to try his luck once in a while.
On the top floor of Xiang Fei Technology's building, a man in his thirties sat at an office desk in the middle of the room. His hand slowly tapped on the table. He was wearing a tailored suit. His eyes were fixed on the floor-to-ceiling windows that covered the entire front of the building.
"Knock knock!"
Outside the door, an assistant knocked on the door and reported that he had just received a notice.
"The person in charge of the Yegu Group just came. It's about the cooperation we agreed on last time. He brought the completed contract. We checked it and found no problems. We probably need you to personally sign it, chairman."
Hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows slightly. Thinking of the news from the subordinate he had sent to the police station to investigate the situation, the corners of his mouth curled up. He said, "Bring him in to sign it."
"Yes, sir." The assistant outside the door replied.
Xiao Guo Yesheng had mentally prepared himself before pushing the door open. But when he saw the man, his breath hitched. He tried his best to suppress it, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch subconsciously.
Because he now felt like he was looking at Radical 145 in someone else's body!
His small movements, his aura, and his familiar expression. It was all there. He didn't hide anything at all. He was exceptionally generous.
He felt like all the mental preparation he had done at the door had been in vain.
"Radical 145." Xiao Guo Yesheng called out directly. He thought that this person probably thought that their prey or other people wouldn't come to him for the time being. That was why he was so brazen. He wanted to warn him.
"Ah, yes. What's the matter?" Radical 145 raised his eyebrows and looked at him. He didn't seem surprised that someone had called out his name. He answered quickly, but continued to do as he pleased.
"..." Xiao Guo Yesheng finally realized that this person probably didn't plan on disguising himself. This made him very confused. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to disguise yourself? You'll be recognized immediately."
Radical 145 raised his eyebrows. "What disguise do I need?"
The corners of his mouth curled up. His expression was arrogant. Even though he had changed his appearance, it still couldn't hide the soul in his bones.
"I'm not the prey, nor the hunter, and definitely not the protector. What disguise do I need?" Radical 145 laughed. "Since I'm not the target, why do I need to disguise myself?"
Xiao Guo Yesheng was a little confused by these words, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with them. He couldn't help but frown, thinking about the meaning behind these words.
Radical 145 looked him up and down. A name gradually appeared in his mind. It was pretty easy to guess. After all, this person wasn't very thoughtful, and his disguise wasn't that good. He thought of the person who had tricked his teammates at the police station this morning, and laughed.
"Ryo Taeya?"
Xiao Guo Yesheng (Xiao Liang) was a little confused when his name was called. It took him a while to realize that he had been exposed. His frown deepened. He lowered his head and tried to recall everything that had just happened. He couldn't understand how he had been exposed.
"Do you know?" Radical 145 still maintained his arrogant expression, holding back his laughter. After all, it wasn't very nice of him. He decided to talk about something else first. It could be considered as giving Ryo Taeya some information. "Our elites know the identities of all your prey. I think the protectors know the same."
"I thought your prey probably had all the information about the protectors, so I sent someone to follow your prey's movements yesterday." Radical 145's smile couldn't help but widen.
He started to sympathize with Xiao Liang. How could this kid have such a bad teammate?
Ryo Taeya (Radical 145) frowned slightly at Radical 145's words. It seemed that Radical 145 was implying that something had happened, and it was something very unfriendly to their prey.
At the same time, he also remembered that the elites had all the identities of their prey.
"This morning, one of you went to the police station. He walked in through the front door, and asked for Sergeant Marumoto." Radical 145 couldn't help but feel sorry for the hunters and protectors. This teammate of his was really neat.
“？” Ryo Taeya (Ryo Taeya) was stunned. His face was full of question marks. He didn't know what to say.
This person was actually a spy sent by the enemy. Was there any hidden mission in this game? For example, there was a spy in both the prey and the hunter?
"Pfft." Looking at Ryo Taeya's expression, Radical 145 finally laughed out loud. He didn't say that the person who went to the police station might be Hikaru Shindo.
After all, looking at Ryo Taeya's expression, if he really said this, he would probably beat up Hikaru Shindo. At present, it seemed that he still hadn't decided which side he was on, so he couldn't casually trick him.
"Why are you looking for me this time?" Radical 145 pulled the conversation back to the topic. He didn't think that Xiao Liang came to him just to deliver documents. He remembered that Xiao Liang's position was quite high. He could have pushed this job to someone else. In the case of not knowing whether the other party was a friend or a foe, it was best to avoid exposing himself.
The prey didn't know who else had complete information about them besides the protectors.
"Can you change my identity?" Ryo Taeya (Ryo Taeya) was reminded by Radical 145 of the purpose of this visit. He immediately got rid of his anger at his useless teammate and asked seriously. There was some expectation in his tone.
He thought about this for a whole night.
Radical 145 raised his eyebrows and understood the meaning. He looked at Ryo Taeya and saw the light of expectation in his eyes. "... Do you want to change your identity?"
He didn't expect that Ryo Taeya, who usually looked very calm, would have such an unexpected idea. Changing his identity was quite a big move. If it wasn't kept secret, then his identity would be exposed.
After all, he was a good person. He didn't do anything. He had no enemies, no debts, and his salary was high enough. If he suddenly ran to change his identity, then it would be suspicious. When the time came, the hunters would observe for a while. With Ryo Taeya's disguise, it was estimated that he would be exposed in less than a day.
If he continued to be an office worker, hiding in the crowd, the hunters would certainly not have too much detailed information about him. Without a clear goal, they wouldn't necessarily notice Ryo Taeya.
"But I can't do my current job." Ryo Taeya (Ryo Taeya) thought of the documents on his desk that he couldn't understand. He felt helpless. He felt that looking at those documents was a bit like reading a book.
Sure enough, Go was the most interesting.
Radical 145 frowned and thought. He found that this was indeed the case. He was raised as the heir of the family. When he was a child, he began to be exposed to business knowledge. This role was a piece of cake for him, but for other people of his age, it was a huge challenge. Not to mention, Ryo Taeya was younger than him and had been developing in the direction of a professional Go player since he was a child.
It was not impossible to solve this problem, but whether it was looking for the protectors or him, there would be some flaws. Although the hunters didn't have the exact identity of the prey, they must have a general direction. When the time comes, they would always be afraid of these flaws. Instead of this, it was better to simply change his identity.
