Sorry, my GIN is also undercover

The boat was swinging in the rolling waves, and the gentle breeze blew across the boundless sky and earth.

Someone was leaning on the railing around the ship with one hand, looking at the line where the sea and the sky meet in the distance, and his long golden hair was quietly fluttering in the direction of the wind.

This was originally a refreshing picture.

If the long-haired protagonist in the picture scroll is not a man who is covered in black and exudes an obviously unpleasant aura.

People on board try to avoid this area when passing by.A vacuum was formed around the long-haired man, that is, Gin.

"what are you doing?"

There will always be warriors stepping into this restricted area.

At this moment, Ms. Miyano Shiho, who has changed from the white coat that represents the identity of a researcher to ordinary clothes, is this warrior.

In fact, Shirley was very uneasy when she first heard that she was going on a mission with Gin.

In comparison, Bourbon, who has been wearing the cloak of a mystic, is much more pleasing to the eye.

It's a completely different feeling to get up close to the killer and act together, which is completely different from receiving colleagues as visitors in one's own territory.

If Gin Jiu hadn't done anything out of the ordinary when he went to her laboratory last time, she would have considered whether she should delay this field investigation task in the name of a new breakthrough in research.

It's best to delay it until Qin Jiu is busy and can't take care of this side.

Fortunately, so far, this TopKiller has not done anything vicious.Although his tone was a bit cold, he was still able to communicate normally.

And once you get used to this state, people's fear will gradually subside.And Shirley is not a weak person on the inside, so naturally she dared to stroke the tiger's whiskers soon.

Hearing the young girl's question, Gin didn't look back, but looked at the destination not far away.

It was a small island surrounded by verdant greenery, isolated from the world by the sea.Calm and peaceful, waiting for outsiders to set foot.

what are you doing?

I was thinking what a fool I was.

He even struggled to snatch this task from Bourbon's hands.

In order to achieve his goal, he specifically urged Green to submit the latest intelligence integration as soon as possible, which caused the organization's workload to increase sharply and was surrounded by a bunch of matters that needed to be dealt with.

Then he took advantage of the opportunity of meeting the boss to provoke the relationship between the other party and the second-in-command Rum. As Rum's confidant, Bourbon would naturally be affected and kicked out to handle the latest work.

In the end, he stated his own attitude and asked that gentleman to hand over such a task involving core secrets to the most trusted self.

The rank of gin that has repeatedly jumped across multiple organizations is already very high.

He achieved his goal quietly, and finally picked himself out.A loyal look of being passive throughout the whole process, doing his best, and sharing worries for the boss.

It's like finishing hundreds of episodes of scheming.

But after officially taking over, he found out that the organization actually sent Shirley to investigate the legend of immortality on a mermaid island.

It cannot be said to be exactly the same as the laboratory and pharmaceutical company he imagined, it can only be said to have nothing to do with it.

The only thing that has anything to do with it is the word "immortality".

Science can no longer satisfy the organization, is that gentleman finally going to the field of metaphysics?

So he just blew cold wind on the deck to cool down his head, and secretly warned himself that next time, even if it involves organizing core drugs, he should think carefully.

At least make sure that scientific research doesn't suddenly turn into folklore research.

But of course such aggrieved truth cannot be directly told to other people.

Therefore, facing the questions from colleagues in the research team, Gin Jiu could only manage his expressions well, and replied in a cold tone: "This has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Just do your own thing and don't make any small moves."

"Otherwise... hum..."

Although the words were not finished, the threatening meaning behind the words was very obvious.

Today's daily task: intimidating colleagues has been completed (1/1)

Shirley just shrugged her shoulders, didn't answer, and didn't walk away.

Her gaze, like gin, turned to the small island that was waiting for them to explore.

"Island of the United States①. Although the legends on the island are not known to many outsiders, one day, this place will become a place where people who dream of illusions flock to."

"It is said that the longevity woman on the island has lived for more than 130 years, and it is because of eating mermaid meat."

Hearing Xue Li's words, Qin Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and he rarely answered the other party's words.

"A legend is a legend after all."

"People are always chasing meaningless and illusory wishes."

Xue Li glanced back at the killer, and said with some surprise in her words: "I really didn't expect you to say such a thing."

"Isn't what the organization is after this kind of dream that can resist the flood of time?"

"The person that gentleman trusts the most, but doesn't agree with that gentleman's ideas?"

"There is no conflict between the two. Personal opinions may differ, but this does not affect my allegiance to that gentleman."

Qin Jiu opened his eyes and spoke nonsense, and gave a loyal dog speech without changing his face.

"At least it's better than someone who was ordered to research the medicine of immortality, but made poison."

"Combined with your attitude, I can fully suspect that you are passively sabotaging your work and have two minds about that gentleman."

As long as he preemptively strikes and counterattacks first, he can block Shirley's words that you are also an undercover agent.

and……

The purpose of the organization is not necessarily simply the pursuit of immortality.

Gin recalled that in addition to the drug research team, that gentleman also sent Tequila and others to collect a list of world-renowned programmers.Ask those people to develop a certain program.

I have relatively little contact with the tasks on the program side, and this is also the part that needs to be focused on later.

After talking briefly for a few words, the two of them silently stopped talking.

The perception of immortality is also a sensitive topic within the organization.

Even if the views are similar, a superficial confrontation is enough.Going on, it is undoubtedly a stupid behavior, it will only bring disaster to oneself.

But it was enough to make Shirley feel like she had reacquainted with gin.

Even so, keep your distance.

"America Island is here."

Shirley straightened up, looked at the small pier where the masonry could already be seen clearly, and gently passed the topic.

American Island is a peaceful and relatively closed island.The island has a small population, so the residents here are more or less familiar with each other, and many people can call them by their names directly.

Due to the development of the tourism industry in recent years, there are gradually more tourists who love new things here, so the guide profession on the island came into being.

Most of these guides are non-professional and temporary.But they are all experienced locals, and they know all about the food, drink, fun and scenic spots on the island.

There are even some guides who can take tourists to some little-known hidden places.

They usually stay near the pier until the cruise ship arrives, and then swarm up to attract guests.

Today is no exception.

Before the cruise ship docked, the guides had already stood up, ready to sell themselves.

No.1 tourist walked down.But the group of guides was suddenly as quiet as a chicken, and no one came forward for a long time.After all, this customer is a black man who came to inspect the site and collect protection fees. ) Taoist leader, and his face is also a cold and cool brother who should not be approached by strangers.

The two people following behind seemed unusual.

So, they shouldn't need someone to mutter in front of him... right...

The guides found an excellent reason for their refusal to work, and then immediately adjusted to a warm business smile, tacitly bypassed the three of Gin and Wine, and surrounded the tourists behind them.

The entire pier, only Gin and they were isolated from the crowd.

Gin:  …

Although I really don't need a guide, it's completely different from actively not needing to do so and passively not needing to!

"Thanks to someone, we can be considered clean."

Perhaps because of the conversation on the cruise ship, Shirley was much more relaxed than when they first met, and there was even a bit of ridicule in her words at the moment.

"It's these buzzing and annoying mosquitoes who know the time and don't want to disturb." Gin tugged at the brim of his hat, and the shadow covered his expression.

"That... do you need a guide?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, a gentle female voice sounded in front of him.

Gin:  …

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Shirley beside him reply, "Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

This task is led by the research team, and their action team is only escorting assistance.So logically speaking, Shirley is indeed the person involved in this operation.

It's just that as usual, no matter what task, as long as he is involved, others will take the initiative to give him the position of leader.

Because no one but the gentleman dared to order gin.Even in the face of Rum, he still has a certain degree of autonomy.

But this time Shirley ignored the unspoken rules and made a decision directly bypassing him.

Vodka, who was silently carrying his luggage beside him, couldn't help but glance at his elder brother, as if he was worried that the other party would get angry.

Gin didn't specifically look for vodka, but he could also guess what the guy in the sunglasses was thinking.

So he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What do you think of yourself in the eyes of other members of the organization?

Although the persona he set was indeed vicious, others insisted on applying layer after layer of bottomless filters on his already dark image.

Even the vodka that has been with him has been affected.

In fact, he didn't have the obsession to be the first controller in this non-action group task.

Especially for tasks like this one that can be compared with middle school students' holiday practice research, he really has no interest in worrying about it.

Whether you can find a guide or not is a small detail that doesn't matter.

It would be best to leave Shirley alone with this boring task that is doomed to fail.

Treat yourself as a public tour.

So he didn't say anything, and followed the two girls with an attitude of acquiescence.

Their guide lady is a long-haired shrine witch named Shimabukuro Kimie in a red and white witch costume.

It is said that he just graduated from university, and came back to work because he was nostalgic for the mountains and rivers of his hometown, and did not stay in the big city.

She usually helps out at her family's shrine.I happen to be free today, so I came to act as a temporary tour guide for a while.

"What kind of place do you want to go? Mountains? Bazaars? Or shrines?"

"What do these places say?" Shirley quickly became familiar with the girl in front of her. "We came here because we heard that the seafood on the island is very good."

"These two gentlemen also want to eat seafood?" Shimabukuro Junhui looked up curiously at the two silent men behind him who were obviously not easy to mess with.

It didn't show any abnormality because of their appearance.

"Don't worry about them, they will follow by themselves."

Seeing that Gin didn't intend to take care of things, Shirley also became bolder.

"Hmm..." After getting the answer, Junhui Shimabukuro no longer struggled, but concentrated on introducing the tea-haired girl.

"If you are here for recuperation, you can go to the mountains and forests. The air there is very fresh, there are waterfalls, and there is plenty of water vapor."

"If you are here for seafood, I can introduce you to the shop that I personally think is the best. Their seafood is all caught on the same day and is very fresh. There are also many kinds of recipes in that shop. You can try them all if you want. Taste All very good."

"As for the shrine...you came here by coincidence. Tomorrow night will be the dugong festival on our island, which is a major feature. A large part of the tourists in these two days are for the dugong arrows at the dugong festival."

Hearing the content related to this research mission, the three of Gin and Jiu secretly cast more attention on it.

Shirley, who was in charge of talking to Ms. Shimabukuro, calmly brought the topic to the legend of immortality.

"Before I came, I did hear some rumors. It is said that there have always been legends about mermaids on your island. Is the dugong festival a custom based on these legends?"

"Probably. The main reason is that there is a long-lived woman who presides over the ceremony every year. During the ceremony, lucky people will be selected through induction and given arrows of dugongs."

"The arrow of the dugong can protect the owner's longevity, keep away from disasters, and ward off evil spirits. So every year people pray that they will become that lucky one."

"Aren't you going to tell me that Longevity Woman can live forever by eating mermaid meat?" Shirley asked with a smile, "It is precisely because of this that she can act as a priest and give blessings."

"Hahaha no." Shimabukuro Junhui couldn't help bending over and laughing after hearing this. She waved her hand, "Legends are just legends."

"My great-grandmother just outlived everyone else."

"Immortality is just everyone's wishful thinking."

"That's right." Shirley sighed, and gradually put away her smile.

The most critical longevity woman is Miss Shimabukuro's great-grandmother, which can be called a hit.

While talking and laughing, Shirley turned her head to look at Gin and asked what he meant.

The great-granddaughter of the person involved has said so, so is there any value in investigating it?

[Since you're here, let's meet the person concerned and return after confirming. 】

Qin Jiu thought for a moment, then secretly conveyed his opinion to the other party, and signaled Xue Li with his eyes, asking her to use her special status as a guide lady to get close to the longevity lady.

Miss Shimabukuro can be called understanding enough.

Before Shirley could figure out how to make the request, Junhui Shimabukuro opened the invitation first.

"Are you interested in the Dugong Festival? Since you're here, why don't you join in the fun? It's actually similar to a temple fair or a summer festival."

"After the ceremony is over tomorrow, I can take you to meet your great-grandmother. After seeing it, you will know that she is no different from ordinary people!"

Shimabukuro Junhui's words hit the arms of the three of them.

So Shirley agreed graciously: "Well, we will go to the site of the Dugong Ceremony tomorrow night, and we will bother you after it is over."

"It just so happens that I haven't been to temple fairs and summer festivals for a long time. They sound very interesting."

"We'll be there."

"Three together."

The brown-haired girl bit the last five words emphatically.

He still didn't forget to glance at the gin shop with interest.

Gin:  …

He suddenly felt that those dark, bottomless filters were pretty good, and they could even be thicker.

In this way, no one would be so bold as to dance tango in front of the tiger by grabbing the tiger's whiskers.
