After sending off his little brother, Luke began a new phase of the point-earning operation.
The United States was starting to calm down, and there were fewer opportunities to fish in troubled waters, but there was still a "big fruit" hidden in Japan.
To be more precise, the Japanese SHIELD branch had been turned into an empty shell by Hydra.
This group of Hydra members disappeared, then changed their appearance and identity, and then gathered in another shell company, completing the process of a cicada shedding its shell and being reborn in a shell.
For the people in this branch, this was very cost-effective.
SHIELD's original funds alone had been embezzled billions of dollars, and a lot of other resources that were hard to buy had been moved away.
But this was also good news for Luke.
Because this group was no longer SHIELD, and had nothing to do with the American authorities or the CIA.
If he had killed them before, Luke would have to face a crazy investigation by the American authorities, and even China would be interested.
A group of their main opponents had inexplicably disappeared. Whether it was the distortion of human nature in imperialism or the moral decay in capitalism, it was something to celebrate for China.
Now that this group of people had disappeared again, only Hydra would care, and the Japanese police would probably use the excuse of "group travel" to dismiss the case.
That was why Japan was so safe on paper, and why murders were even rarer.
As long as it was a case that could be brushed off, it would be classified as a suicide or an accident.
The Japanese TV series Unnatural Death had mentioned this issue, and even the citizens of Japan were inexplicably surprised.
Luke didn't care about Japan's social problems, just like he didn't care about America's legal system.
He only needed to be sure that this group of more than three hundred Hydra members was in a state where no one would know if they were dead.
It was convenient for Luke to send them off in one piece.
…
Arriving in Japan again, Luke got off the plane at Sapporo Chitose Airport.
Sapporo was located in Hokkaido, the northernmost of the four islands. It was much more "exquisite" than Tokyo.
With a population of close to two million, it was also the core of the "Sapporo metropolitan area," and the northernmost metropolis in Japan with a population of a million.
Of course, the Japanese branch of SHIELD that had collectively defected … wasn't here.
However, Sapporo was an international tourist destination, and more than ten million tourists from all over the world came here every year.
The group of Hydras valued this. Most of them were in Sapporo, using their new identities to carry out some daily activities.
Their base was located in the mountainous area between Otaru City and Sapporo City in the northwest. They even used the name "Nobi Onsen" to facilitate the transportation of construction materials and personnel.
In fact, this hot spring had only done a very perfunctory and simple promotion.
If ordinary people went there, there was a high chance that they would get lost.
After all, Nihon's phone's navigation system hadn't been activated yet, so the chances of getting lost were quite high.
Once mobile maps were popularized, no one would come to Wild Hot Springs.
After all, diagonally below it was Sapporo's most famous Dingshan Hot Spring. A little further to the left was Otaru City's Asaharigawa Hot Spring. Only a ghost would come to the Hydra's nest.
"Are we going to Stable Mountain Stream first? I want to soak in the hot spring. "A voice rang out next to Luke.
"You definitely don't want to soak in a hot spring." Luke casually dismissed Ivan in the passenger seat as he drove the rental car.
Ivan yawned without a care for his image. "I think it might be jet lag, so I need to relax."
Luke said, "Don't worry. With your current face, you'll have plenty of opportunities to live off a woman. "
Ivan collapsed into the seat. "What do you mean live off a woman?"
Luke said, "It's probably the same as paying to be a martial arts guy."
Ivan understood. "You mean, they have to pay me for the service?"
Luke said, "That's right, you can do it. I have high hopes for you, bro. "
Ivan perked up a little. "Alright then. How about we go together? "
Luke finally glanced at him. "I'm a decent person."
Ivan snorted. "Bullsh * t! Lord Bruce is a decent person, but guys like us who have our hands full of human lives aren't. "
Luke, who was wearing the Big Dipper vest, smiled but didn't say anything.
He was going on a killing spree this time, so Big Dipper was the one who had initiated the mission.
It was also for this reason that Ivan was the only one who had accepted the mission.
Some of the others weren't available, some were busy in middle school, some weren't interested in hanging out with Big Dipper, and some were thinking who knew what.
Luke wasn't disappointed.
With one more person, the margin for error would be higher.
One less person might miss some of the targets, but it wasn't a big deal.
If Ivan hadn't been promoted to a one-star teammate a few days ago, Luke wouldn't have bothered to bring him along.
But considering that this guy was probably using the mission as an excuse to travel, Luke didn't turn him down.
The others could move freely to begin with. They had money and time, and could go on a trip whenever they wanted.
The world was so big that they could go anywhere.
Ivan was the only one who knew what was going on. He knew that if he went on a trip on his own, he would definitely attract Batman's "intense attention."
It wasn't until he heard that Luke was coming to Japan and that this mission might last a week or two that he was tempted.
He had never played Japanese games before, so he casually looked at the comments about Japanese games online and found them quite interesting.
He had had enough of the bars in Nassau County. Naturally, he should try out some of Japan's specialties, like hot springs and izakaya.
Luke knew what this guy was thinking. Before he came, he had given him a new face and ID, and told him to get out of the car when they reached downtown Sapporo.
The operation would take a long time, and Luke had to do some preliminary work.
During this time, Ivan could do whatever he wanted.
This guy had a lot of bonuses that he had nowhere to spend, and he also had a handsome face that he could eat even if he didn't have money.
Ivan had volunteered to use the new ID's face. It was a handsome man in his thirties — girls would call him uncle at most, not grandpa.
Watching the car drive away, Ivan suddenly exhaled as he stood on the side of the road. "Hmph, don't think I don't know that you're all in cahoots."
When he and Seven Star came out on a mission, Batman hadn't said anything.
Now, Seven Star had just left him in Sapporo and let him play by himself.
Were Batman and Big Dipper idiots? Who would believe that?
Ivan felt that it was precisely because Seven Star was the one who issued the mission that Batman was so at ease.
After so many missions, the Bat Squad didn't pry into each other's true identities, but each team member had their own personalities.
The father and daughter pair, or uncle and niece pair, actually had good personalities.
Pink Bear was happy, and Black Bear was taciturn and honest — at least in the team, he was an honest person.
The Ninja Squad was pure and obedient.
The black catgirl seemed very friendly, but it was actually only limited to Pink Bear and the Ninja Squad, who were underage.
Blacksmith, Lady Death, and the Cage King were all cold and ruthless people of few words, but it was fine as long as they weren't provoked.
Deadpool was a lunatic, and Ivan just treated him like a fart and kept his distance.
Tony, the egomaniac, was Ivan's "mortal enemy."
Seven Star, on the other hand, was usually a little like Deadpool, but he had a venomous tongue and wasn't a chatterbox.
But the person Ivan was most wary of apart from Batman was him.
That was because Seven Star was always the fastest and most efficient at killing enemies every time a battle started.
He didn't have Batman's no-kill rule, nor did he have Deadpool's neuroticism.
However, he was as indifferent to life as Deadpool, and as precise and efficient as Batman. He was a perfect killing machine.
