Chapter 1027: Man and Machine Separated Ten Meters and Exploded Automatically
“It’s really disgusting when you think about it this way.”Vermouth crossed her legs, swung the wine glass in her hand, and looked at Fujino quietly in front of her: "But some things will come to you even if you don't want them. As long as you are alive, there will always be people who will keep their eyes on you. Fate has already put you in that position. It's only a matter of time before that day comes."
"The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small."
(God's millstone turns slowly, but grinds very finely)
“But I don’t believe in God.”
Fujino sneered and asked, "Do you believe in God?"
Vermouth shook her head: "I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either. Who believes in God?" Fujino crossed his arms and said, "I don't buy into the theory that people are born with sin. If people are born with sin, then in Genesis, the God who created humans in his own image is the culprit."
“Yeah…” Vermouth looked at the wine shaking in the glass: “If there really is a God, then people who work hard to live in this world should not suffer misfortune. However, the angel did smile at me…”
“Some things have been arranged long ago even without God, and are following the long-planned trajectory, quietly carrying everyone forward.”
As she said that, she looked at Fujino and said, "And from what I know about you, you are not the kind of person who would not fight back after being retaliated against."
Fujino raised his eyes and looked at Vermouth: "Don't worry about my affairs, you just need to do your job of collecting intelligence."
"Yeah, I'm being nosy."
Vermouth snorted, "After all, there is still that assassin organization behind you. It's useless for me to care so much."
Fujino's eyes narrowed when he heard this: "Assassin's organization?"
Upon hearing this, Vermouth's eyes slightly fluctuated, and then he said, "You don't know?"
"I know, but I'm not on the same page as them."
Fujino leaned back in the chair behind him and said, "Our organization... well, anyway, just know that it exists. If you must give it a name, just call us Tokyo Injustice League. It's better than that organization of yours that wears all black."
Vermouth narrowed her eyes when she heard that. In her opinion, there must be an organization behind Fujino, the Beige Batman. After all, some things cannot be accomplished by one person alone... Before, she thought it was an assassin's organization, but now it seems that she guessed wrong.
Fujino, on the other hand, was looking at Vermouth at this time, and said directly: "So, your organization is also connected with Ambostera Industries?"
“There is a connection, but it’s not deep.”
Vermouth did not hide anything and said calmly: "To put it simply, we occasionally serve as their mercenaries and exchange benefits with each other. As for the rest, I don't know. Since you know about assassins, you must know more than I do."
As she spoke, she looked at Fujino with an unchanged expression: "Come to think of it, they have contacted the boss. They said that if you are found, just let them know and they will send a large number of soldiers with live ammunition to kill you."
"In short, you've been targeted now, so you better be more careful in the future, or you'll die without knowing how."
Fujino said meaningfully, "So kind... If that's the case, don't you want to try to cooperate with them and kill me who is holding you hostage?"
"Why should I kill you?"
Vermouth took out a pack of cigarettes from the bag on the table, then took out another one, lit it for herself, and took a deep breath: "Let's not talk about whether they can kill you. Besides, we are in a cooperative relationship. Although you seem to have taken control of me, it is my own will in the end."
As she spoke, she gently blew out smoke towards Fujino: "I'm reminding you only because I really like chatting with smart people like you. Not only can I provide you with information, you can also provide me with information."
“The wise man does not boast of his wisdom. A wise man does not boast of his wisdom. If someone really thinks he is smart because of a few words from others, then he is a fool.”
Fujino gave Vermouth a famous English philosophical saying, and then joked: "Besides, I didn't come here to chat with you. Since you think we are chatting, then you should give me one as a reward for chatting?" "Don't you have one yourself?"
"Yes, but I want to slap you."
"Tsk, I'm smoking ESSE ladies' cigarettes, are they suitable for you to smoke?"
"I've smoked mint flavors before. I guess you're just an old smoker who doesn't want to share your cigarettes, right?"
"This is my last one. Are you being polite?"
"Oh... take it."
Vermouth glanced at her, took out a cigarette and threw it over, feeling really unlucky. Not only did she get the information for free, she also got the wine for free, and even her last cigarette was taken for free.
"Don't feel wronged. I still have a gift for you."
"Gift?"
Fujino reached out his hand, took the cigarette in mid-air, put it in his mouth and lit it, then took out a small red gift box, put it on the table and opened it: "8888 titanium mobile phone, double-layer encrypted space, private frequency band encrypted calls, file vault, fingerprint, face and voiceprint biometric unlocking, automatic explosion when the human and the machine are separated by ten meters."
Vermouth looked at the black phone in front of her, paying attention to the key point, and put down her crossed legs: "Explosion? Why do you put an explosion function on a phone?"
"Of course I'm going to blow you up. If not, how about I blow me up?"
"...?"
"Okay, no kidding, this thing will explode if you leave it at a certain distance."
“…What’s the point?”
"At least it can prevent you from losing your data due to losing your phone, or having your phone opened by someone else."
Seeing Fujino in front of her with a calm and nonchalant look, Vermouth showed a suspicious look:
"I see you just want to use this thing to remotely detonate it to threaten me, or to monitor me, right?"
"That's not the case. I'm just giving you a tool to contact me. This thing has satellite communication. The OICQ inside is encryption software. All the contact data will be uploaded to a satellite of a certain invaded country. It's also a triple-proof phone. Maybe it can save your life by blocking a bullet at a critical moment."
"In that case, I'll take it. I hope someone won't peek at me while I'm taking a shower..."
"You worry too much, old lady."
Fujino helplessly comforted the suspicious old aunt.
This thing was an ordinary item he pulled out from the system. It had no other uses except for having more functions. So he decided to use it to establish a connection between Vermouth and himself.
After all, you can't always ask your elder sister to note that you are V when writing letters, right?
As for what the elder sister is worried about, it is really unnecessary. If he really wants to blow it up, it would be better to just give him OPPO A5.
As for surveillance... never mind, they actually installed a backdoor.
But judging from the old lady's reaction, she seemed to have agreed.
