"Plan ahead."
"When?"
"Tomorrow night, in the early hours of the morning! I'll provide the men, and you'll provide the labor."
"it is good!"
In the short quick question and answer session, Iwanaga Kotoko looked deeply at the three-eyed spider, and then reached a consensus and began to discuss the details of the arrangement.
Chapter 253 Kotoko Iwanaga pretending to be stupid
Monday, October 4.
Around 8 o'clock in the morning.
“So, here’s what’s going on…”
Iwanaga Kotoko sat on the sofa, taking a piece of Kobe beef sandwich made by Mu Geng, eating it in small bites. At the same time, she turned her head and looked at Luo Shu who was sitting on the single sofa:
"We have already negotiated with those lunatics from the Phoenix Society and Greed and Envy from the Hell Cult. The action will be at 12 o'clock tonight, which is about the time when Akihabara is closing."
As she spoke, Iwanaga Kotoko took another bite of the sandwich and muttered while chewing:
"Speaking of which, what did the island country officials do? You gave out all the intelligence, but they only caught Ryan? Seto Goujiro and Li Jianlin who came here this time didn't catch him..."
“Isn’t this too inefficient?”
Kotoko Iwanaga, who wanders on the border between monsters and humans, has long been accustomed to the simple, direct and efficient thinking of monsters. She is somewhat uncomfortable with her sudden return to human society.
After hearing this, Luo Shu explained on behalf of the official:
"On the list of senior executives I gave you, only Ryan and some middle-level executives are local residents. For example, Seto Goujiro, whom you met, lives under the seabed of Tokyo Bay. With the geographical advantage, it is normal not to move him in order not to alert the enemy."
"Li Jianlin is more troublesome than Seto Goujiro. After all, he has an identity in China, so the island nation cannot just move against him if it wants."
"But Ryan is an American." Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but mutter.
Luo Shu responded calmly: "So the garrison will receive a generous red envelope in a few days."
"Uh..." Iwanaga Kotoko immediately understood what Luo Shu meant, and immediately said with an embarrassed face: "So he stuffed money into my pocket?"
Luo Shu did not answer, but turned his head, glanced at Iwanaga Kotoko, and then said:
"You don't seem surprised at all that I have taken control of the president of the Phoenix Society?"
When I contacted Iwanaga Kotoko yesterday and asked her to represent 'Revel' and convene Phoenix Society executives and the Hell Cult to discuss the summoning plan, this girl agreed without a second thought.
This point has always confused Luo Shu.
I killed the enemy leader on the horse, aren't you surprised at all?
"Oh? Could it be that Minister Luo Shu wants me to praise you?"
Iwanaga Kotoko narrowed her eyes into cat-like ones and looked at Luo Shu with a sly smile:
"You should have said it earlier~ You should have said this earlier~ I'm not the kind of bad woman who would discourage boys~ But if you want me to praise you, you should have said it~"
Seeing Iwanaga Kotoko's boastful look, Luo Shu's face twitched suddenly.
Who the hell needs your praise?
While Luo Shu looked unhappy, Iwanaga Kotoko was eating a sandwich and thought for a moment:
"However, I am somewhat surprised that President-san was caught by you and even cooperated with you and allowed me to use her name."
"But considering that you are at least a top-level person who is close to being a demigod, and you have the intelligence network of SDS, it doesn't seem that difficult to find the president and deal with her."
"Of course, it's not difficult or tiring, but you clearly told me before that you would create an opportunity for the president to be left alone, but within a day, you managed it yourself..."
Iwanaga Kotoko said this and looked at Luo Shu with suspicion:
"Minister Luo Shu, you are not the kind of person who talks about cooperating with others but actually wants to have the best of both worlds, right?"
Luo Shu was silent for a moment after hearing this, then smiled softly:
"You've figured this out~"
"Since you know that Revel is in my hands now, why don't you surrender obediently?"
"You should know that the lifeline of your promotion is firmly in my hands~"
"By the way, I'm curious about what it feels like to have someone hold your lifeblood. Is there any special feeling?"
Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko blinked her eyes, then burst out laughing and said:
"What~"
"You've got hold of my lifeline? Can you please stop joking so seriously~"
Iwanaga Kotoko thought Luo Shu was joking with her, but she didn't think much about it. She waved her hands and said:
"Even without President Revel, the Hell Cult will still summon the Flame Demon~"
"At most, they just don't want to deal with the sacrifices, but with the Three-Eyed God's means, it's nothing more than a matter of time."
"And if your lifeline is controlled, then it must be controlled by the Hell Cult, right?"
"You know, they have the psychic in their hands... Why do you have that expression?"
When Iwanaga Kotoko said this, she suddenly noticed the smile on Luo Shu's face.
That playful look and joyful smile made Iwanaga Kotoko feel uneasy.
Could it be that.
"Do you have people in the Hell Sect too?" Iwanaga Kotoko looked a little unnatural.
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu glanced at Iwanaga Kotoko in annoyance:
"What are you thinking? How is this possible?"
However, when Luo Shu objected, Iwanaga Kotoko felt even more irritated:
"It really does!"
Luo Shu looked at Iwanaga Qinzi strangely when he heard this: "...Isn't what I just said an objection?"
Iwanaga Kotoko said confidently, "Shouldn't we take things that the authorities oppose seriously?"
"But then again, who is the spy you arranged?"
Luo Shu opened his mouth slightly, but before he could refute, Iwanaga Kotoko had already reacted:
"You said you had grasped my lifeline. Lifeline? Psychic? The psychic is in your hands?"
"In that case, then the greed that brought the psychic here is your man?"
Luo Shu looked at Iwanaga Kotoko subtly for a while, then said playfully:
"Aren't you quite good at guessing?"
"Hiss..." Iwanaga Kotoko took a breath, "He's really your man..."
It's over, the lifeline has been grasped... Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Luo Shu with a stiff expression and said in a dry voice:
"Sacrificing an innocent psychic girl to deal with the Phoenix Society and the Hell Cult, isn't that in line with the SDS's philosophy?"

"Will Minister Luo Shu really not be punished by the Supreme Speaker for doing this?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu just looked at Iwanaga Kotoko with disdain:
"What does what the Hell Cult people do have to do with my Secret Management Department?"
"..."
Seeing Luo Shu acting like a rogue, Iwanaga Kotoko was helpless:
"You're really capable of such tricks..."
Kotoko Iwanaga herself knew that for a semi-official figure like her, being an insider was the limit. If she really were to preside over the work of such an evil organization, the risk would be very high.
After all, the monster princess who walks between humans and monsters cannot give up this position, otherwise she will no longer be able to be a middleman.
And in Iwanaga Kotoko's opinion, Luo Shu's situation is actually very similar to hers.
If the Minister of the Secret Management Department secretly controls the mysterious illegal organization to create a major case in Akihabara, the Five Major Alliances will probably directly ask Lacus to conduct an internal liquidation.
...... ... ....
Therefore, no matter whether it is her or Luo Shu, they cannot be involved in this matter at all, and can only appear in the form of "white face". Even the Supreme Speaker, who wants to do something that cannot be done openly, is the same.
Thinking about it this way, greed might be Luo Shu himself, or even SDS's glove in the dark.
Perhaps it was Lacus Clyne who had ambushed the Hell Cult, and was just used by Luo Shu...
Iwanaga Kotoko complained in her heart, then looked up at Luo Shu, only to find that he had already walked to the window, looking at the streets of Akihabara which had not yet started to get busy in the morning:
"There aren't many people here at this time, right? After all, shops in Akihabara usually open after 9:..."
Hearing this, Luo Shu just looked at the street and said calmly:
“I hope it will be so deserted at night…”
Uh...Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't answer this.
At this moment, Luo Shu turned around and said to Iwanaga Kotoko:
"Ms. Iwanaga, would you consider joining the Secret Management Department?"
Before Iwanaga Kotoko could refuse, Luo Shu smiled and said:
"Not joining SDS, but secretly joining the secret management department I established without anyone knowing."
Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko opened her eyes wide in shock, and then looked at Luo Shu suspiciously.
Seeing this, Luo Shu just smiled and said: "Don't look at me like that, Lux knows this very well."
Iwanaga Kotoko looked enlightened after hearing this, but no one knew what she was enlightened about:
"Well, let me think about this important matter carefully. It would be best if I wait until this matter is over before answering."
"After all, if I can be promoted successfully this time, I will have more bargaining power, right?"
Looking at Iwanaga Kotoko's silly smile, Luo Shu just looked at her meaningfully and said:
"Then I will look forward to Miss Iwanaga's 'good news'~"
Chapter 254 Crow’s Mouth
11: pm.
As the night deepens.
The members of the joint operations team also became relatively relaxed.
When the patrol was over, two inspectors who got off the car saw Asuka Tomoki standing at the entrance of the station smoking and immediately asked:
"Captain, how about going for a drink tonight?"
"You're off work at 1 o'clock, and you still want to go make a cup? You don't want to take care of your child? You don't want your wife?"
When Asuka Tomoki heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and curse.
In the island country, normal office workers basically have appointments between 5:11 and o'clock after get off work.
If no one invites you out for drinks, it means you are unwelcome, a loner, have no ambition, and so on.
Therefore, some office workers, even if they have nothing to do that day, will find an izakaya, order a glass of wine and two skewers, sit there for most of the day, and show their "wives" at home that they are very capable outside.
Of course, there may also be factors that middle-aged men are unable to cope with the situation and avoid their wives.
"970" But no matter what, these things are basically impossible to happen in the joint operations team.
On the one hand, these people get off work in the early morning, which is long past the normal half past midnight. On the other hand, the mysterious people are generally stronger than ordinary people and can hold on longer. Even those who hold on for a short time...
Ahem, the most popular item sold at the Akihabara Abyss Prop Trading Center is the drug that "increases time".
Even if the joint action team of the five major alliances and the island countries does nothing, those manufacturers will still "give some" out of kindness, so there is naturally no need to worry about this kind of thing.
"Of course my family wants it, but today is a special day~"
