Chapter 296 Jörmungandr
In Beika Town, inside a luxurious black car.

After seeing the text message sent by Vermouth, Rum’s face suddenly turned purple and black.

After reading the entire text message, Rum pulled the newly lit cigar from between his lips and pressed it hard into the ashtray to crush it. Sparks flew on the dark marble surface, just like the sinister look in his eyes.

Due to the sudden intelligence from the Europol headquarters, Binga was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department and Interpol on the scene before any formal action was taken.

The action plan he had formulated was inexplicably shattered before it was officially launched.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Rum hard.

After a moment of silence, Rum’s veins popped out and he roared through his teeth: “Damn it!!”

He had no doubt about the authenticity of the news.

Although Vermouth is the BOSS’s confidant and may have received other instructions from the BOSS himself this time, the news of Binga’s arrest is not good news for either him or the BOSS.

Based on his understanding of the BOSS, the order given by the BOSS to Vermouth was most likely something like “find an opportunity to destroy the system developed by Interpol” or “eliminate the engineers who developed this system.”

But whether he wants to obtain these two, or the boss wants to completely destroy them, there is a prerequisite, that is, the organization must first take the situation into its own hands.

But now, Binga has been arrested.

Europol, Interpol, and even the Metropolitan Police Department were alerted.

In this case, their next actions will inevitably be restricted.

Not to mention inserting undercover agents into the ocean buoy, even the difficulty of completely destroying the ocean buoy building has increased significantly.

In addition, there is another important doubt.

– How did Europol know that Binga disguised himself as Grace and infiltrated such “specific” intelligence on the ocean buoy?
Apart from himself, even Vermouth and the others only knew that his subordinate Binga had disguised himself as someone and sneaked into the ocean buoy, and they did not know more specific information.

According to Vermouth, Binga’s identity was exposed because of a notification from Europol to Interpol.

But the problem is that, apart from him, other members of the organization had no idea that Binga was disguised as an engineer named Grace, and there was no possibility that the undercover agent would leak this information to Europol.

For some reason, he suddenly felt like he was being plotted against.

Thinking of this, Rum raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows hard, forcing himself to calm down.

Now that it has happened, the most important thing now is how to end it.

Although he really wanted to use the system and the engineer to find the BOSS, this idea might no longer be possible.

Ocean buoys, surveillance and identification systems, Naomi Argent, Binga…

“Hmph, if I can’t get it…”

After making a quick decision, Rum picked up his phone and called Vermouth.

“Vermouth, go and meet up with Bourbon and the others! The plan has changed, so get started now and get rid of that building and Binga together!”

“…”

at the same time.

On a warship not far from Hachijo Island.

Next to an armed helicopter, the cell phones of Furuya Rei and Mizunashi Rena rang almost at the same time.

After hearing each other’s text message vibrations, the two were slightly stunned and looked at each other.

Furutani Rei was the first to speak and break the silence: “Oh? What a coincidence, this should be a text message from Rum? It seems that the situation has changed…”

Having said that, Fūya Rei pretended to casually take out his cell phone from his pocket and clicked on the text message he had just received.

Seeing that Furiya Rei did not doubt her, Mizunashi Rena felt relieved and took out her cell phone from her pocket as usual.

She had a feeling that the person who sent her this message might not be Rum, but…

The moment they saw the content of the text message, their pupils constricted instantly, and then they looked up at each other at the same time, with surprise flashing across their faces.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, Furuya Rei seemed to have figured something out, and he chuckled and shook his head: “I really didn’t expect that, Kiel…”

A vague smile appeared on the corner of Mizunashi Rena’s mouth: “Oh? It seems that the content of the text message you received is similar to mine, Bourbon…”

……

Inside an ocean buoy.

After listening to Makino’s explanation, Naomi showed a wry smile on her face.

When the invader rushed towards her, she had actually vaguely realized that the other party did not simply want to take her hostage and escape, but that his target was most likely her from the beginning.

At this moment, she finally confirmed it.

According to Officer Makino, whether it was the previous Frankfurt invasion or the other party’s deliberate disguise as Engineer Grace…

The other party, or the organization’s target from the very beginning was himself and the cross-age facial recognition system he developed.

After a moment of silence, Naomi suddenly remembered something and frowned, “Oh, Binga!”

“Hmm?” Makino looked up at Naomi, somewhat puzzled as to why she suddenly said Binga’s name.

Naomi took a sip of barley tea from the can and began to explain, “When I had just developed the system, a man named Binga sent me an email. He offered a huge reward, wanted to monopolize the system I developed, and asked me to improve it.

Since I had already decided to provide this system to Interpol, I rejected him. Could the man named Binga be related to the organization you just mentioned?”

Makino nodded slightly.

Seeing Makino nod, Naomi’s bitter smile became more obvious: “Obviously, this system was invented to eliminate racial hatred…Ah! Mr. Makino, please don’t mind what I just said.

Not only did you save my life and my parents’ life, you even promised to let me see Shiho again. I don’t know how to thank you! Even if you don’t say it, I will bury these things deep in my heart and never mention them to anyone! “

Makino carefully observed Naomi in front of him.

The winery will soon disappear, and Bain’s control over the entire information world has reached an incredible level…

Whether asking the other party to keep a secret or asking the other party to delete all information about Haibara Ai, they were just “reasons” he made up to observe the other party’s sincerity.

After confirming that Naomi in front of him was indeed a kind person, Makino looked down at the time on his mobile phone and gave Bane instructions for further action in his mind.

The next moment, Makino looked at Naomi seriously and chuckled, “Although it may be a little abrupt to say this, if one day in the future you want to work with Shiho, or if you don’t want to continue working in Interpol, you can contact me at any time.”

“Eh? Okay, okay Mr. Makino, I understand.” Naomi was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and stretched out her right hand.

After shaking hands with Naomi, Makino picked up the barley tea on the table and slowly stood up: “Okay, I’ve basically said everything I need to say. Let’s talk about the details after this is completely over~”

“Okay!” Naomi also stood up and nodded. She thought the “thing” Makino was talking about was the intruder.

–

At the same time, Tokyo.

Police Department Security Division. A police officer rushed into the office in front of him with a hurried look on his face without even knocking on the door.

“Captain Tezuka! We have received instructions to carry out the highest level mission! Inspector Hiraoka and Inspector Nakai have asked us to mobilize all the public security personnel available from all over the country! In addition, it seems that the SAT units from all over the country will also act together!”

“What did you say?!” Inspector Tezuka slammed the table and looked at his subordinates in front of him in shock.

……

In Beido Town, inside the FBI temporary base.

After James put down the phone, he stood up and looked at Shuichi Akai and others beside him: “It’s from headquarters. They assigned us a task with the highest priority! They will send the specific task content to us soon!”

“The highest priority mission?!” Judy’s eyes widened instantly.

Shuichi Akai and Kamil on the side also looked at their boss James with mixed astonishment and disbelief.

After noticing everyone’s gazes, James said seriously, “Although I don’t know what the situation is, it seems that this is an order signed by Deputy Director Raymond in charge of intelligence! We will talk about the specific situation after the mission is sent. Hurry up and get the people below ready!”

–“yes!”

……

Okinawa military base.

After receiving the order for an emergency assembly, Lieutenant Colonel Leonard rushed to the meeting room without stopping.

Seeing that all the generals had basically arrived, Lieutenant General Nicol on the stage spoke directly: “According to intelligence, our traitors have secretly arrived near Hachijo Island off the coast of Tokyo in a submarine and a destroyer!
They seem to be planning to attack Interpol’s newly built ocean buoy first, and then turn around and attack our military base! I have contacted the higher-ups and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and obtained permission to go. The code name for the operation is annihilation!”

Hearing this, a few generals in the audience, including Lieutenant Colonel Reynard, seemed to have thought of something. Their eyes widened and their brows furrowed.

……

CIA headquarters in Virginia.

Administrative Assistant Director Elijah looked at the chiefs of staff and agents at all levels below and spoke seriously:
“Just now, the higher-ups issued an action order! This operation is a joint operation with the FBI and the Army Special Operations Team! Please take a look at the map and the information of the relevant personnel on the big screen. The points marked on the map are the specific locations we need to strike!”

“…”

MI6, FSB, DGSE, BND…

At the same time, similar scenes continued to appear around the world.

–

Soon after, inside the ocean buoy.

Just as Makino and Director Makino Yosuke were discussing the next arrangements and how to define the scope of dealing with the “intruders”, the main engineer named Ed’s face changed drastically after seeing the content on the screen:
“Director! We have received an emergency evacuation order from the headquarters and the Okinawa military base! It seems that there is a submarine and a destroyer of unknown origin near us, and it seems that they will launch an attack on the ocean buoy soon!”

“What did you say?” Upon hearing the news, Director Makino Yosuke was obviously stunned.

“I’ll put the content on the screen now!” Ed didn’t explain in detail, but quickly tapped the keyboard in his hands.

Two seconds later, warnings from Interpol and the Okinawa military base appeared on the screen.

Everyone present also looked up at the big screen.

After seeing the two warning messages with similar content on the screen, the expressions on everyone’s faces suddenly became extremely interesting.

Especially engineer Naomi, after seeing the content on the screen, she instantly realized something and looked at Makino beside her nervously.

Since she had just heard some information about the “terrorist organization” from Makino, she immediately realized that this submarine and destroyer were probably the work of that organization.

After carefully reading the contents on the screen, Director Makino Yosuke clenched his fists in anger and gritted his teeth, “Damn it! It seems that these guys want to destroy this base and the system together!”

As soon as Director Makino Yosuke finished speaking, Ed spoke again: “The sonar system captured the sound of a propeller 5 nautical miles away from the ocean buoy!”

Makino turned to look at Director Makino Yosuke and said, “Director Makino, it seems that time is running out.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned to look at Director Makino Yosuke.

After noticing everyone’s gaze, Director Makino Yosuke closed his eyes weakly and said, “The ocean buoy is not equipped with offensive weapons. Facing submarines and destroyers, I’m afraid…”

After a one-second pause, Director Makino Yosuke gritted his teeth and shouted, “Everyone evacuate immediately! Issue an evacuation order for the entire facility!”

……

In Beika Town, inside a luxurious black car.

Rum looked down at the time on his phone, then turned to look at the sunset outside the window.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, his face looked very old.

The finishing operation was clearly about to be completed, but for some reason, ever since he received the text message from Vermouth, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

This feeling does not seem to fade with the passage of time, but becomes stronger and stronger.

Thinking of this, Rum sighed slowly, and the image of the boss appeared in his mind: “Am I really old? Boss, what are you thinking…”

At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly started vibrating continuously.

Rum: “?”

The next second, he immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Rum was stunned for a moment when he saw the increasing number of text messages on the screen, almost all of which were from all over the world.

In an unconscious daze, his phone opened one of the “urgent text messages” from London.

——”Lord Rum, the base was suddenly attacked.”

Although the content of this text message was extremely brief, Rum’s pupils instantly contracted after seeing it.

Rum: “!!!”

The next second, he quickly flipped through the other text messages.

“Lord Rum, the bases in Toulouse and Marseille…”

“Los Angeles, Virginia, Washington…”

“Lord Rum…”

“…”

The text messages were extremely brief, but the content was largely the same, indicating that organizations around the world were attacked at almost the same time.

Although Rum read the text messages very quickly, it was not faster than the speed at which he received them.

As he quickly flipped through the text messages, the number of unread text messages on his phone increased almost every few seconds.
