NO. 105: After all the twists and turns, it still…

【Yuehuanshe: Excuse me asking, have you been to a bar?】

【Zhouri Ningjing:? What nonsense, I'm only less familiar with that place than the coffee shop】

【Yuehuanshe: Then you can spin records】

【Zhouri Ningjing:?】

On the path of disguise, everyone will have a period of growth.

The former Aomo Lindun was also a clownish actor full of flaws; in many adults' eyes he was a pretentiously mature child, and even now his disguise skills are far from flawless—when facing people like Ludaofu Xiangzheng and Qianming, he still needs to borrow some external power to have the confidence to hide anything.

It's not hard to imagine that, when he was still young, inexperienced, and his skills crude, his attempts in the public sphere would attract the gaze of law enforcers.

Especially in certain upscale public places, when facing more professional law enforcers—the 'side effect' stemming from his habitual observational mindset is that he easily becomes a suspicious figure in others' eyes.

Being subject to suspicion came later; during the period when even smoothness in the way of display was out of the question, he faced more direct questioning.

But fortunately, he was still young at the time.

Although for mature, professional law enforcers a youthful appearance generally cannot soften their minds, it does indeed make their methods shift from formal to casual.

From the level of interrogating suspects, it turned into pulling a kid aside for an educational chat— the ostensibly perfect, invincible good kid Aomo Lindun thus gained the life experiences that ordinary children have, except that the questioners changed from teachers and elders to uniformed brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, with even more onlookers.

It must be said, precisely because of this record of public execution-like 'social death,' his memory became excessively vivid.

So excessive that he doesn't need to deliberately recall; he unconsciously thinks about how to avoid such a situation.

But he still needs to deliberately recall.

Because recalling always yields more.

It can even let him realize that, when his acting is full of flaws and the other party notices— the other party's reaction.

Gaze, demeanor, movements— every minute detail, every external trait, once combined, if enough samples are accumulated, can instead be summarized into sufficient evidence to serve as a basis for judgment.

Since he was 15, Aomo Lindun has already derived this evidentiary proof.

Although he still cannot guarantee he can fully 'conceal,' at least he can seize the initiative at the moment he is suspected or discovered.

Even when necessary, he can slightly reveal something special.

Revealing that which differs from ordinary 'Coser temperament simulation'— the natural expression— allows him to probe outward and uncover the 'special people' hidden among the crowd.

This is clearly a form of baiting law enforcement; in this regard, he currently has an advantage.

That advantage lies in disguise, in the operation of cognitive obstruction.

Even in the eyes of law enforcement authority, without cognitive obstruction or so-called de-identification, Aomo's all-black attire can still be useful.

By committing to darkness, turning himself into a deep abyss, when someone gazes at him, the self at the bottom of that abyss can also survey the light-reflecting eyes of all gazers.

Even if it's merely a faint glimmer, it's just as obvious.

Thus, he can declare——

I see you.

It's just that to precisely pick out the guy he wants from those special people still requires information accumulation in other fields, just as he now targets these two special agents.

It is well known that Bixiketuxe·Shihuaiya is the director of the Special Affairs Bureau in the Jiemen district, and also a supervisor who cares for her subordinates.

Entertaining guests to celebrate achievements is commonplace, and organizing team-building is even more ordinary.

She can remember all the staff in the bureau, even know the recent situations of many employees, but that does not mean she will leak their information when chatting privately.

Rather, the Special Affairs Bureau, as such a special work department, treats most of its content as confidential, including the information of various departmental specialists.

What Bixiketuxe discusses with Aomo is either not work-related content they both handle, or various bizarre minor cases encountered by colleagues in other departments, or recent trends in the police world— highlighting something irrelevant, clearly categorized.

But even so, everyone has already had several work intersections.

Aomo has seen members of the Special Affairs Bureau more than once, and even seen what they look like when they participate in frontline combat team battles.

Those people at that time wore their uniforms very honestly, with names, positions, and squad numbers on them.

The so-called 'Third Squad' is exactly what he saw at that time.

The Special Affairs Bureau does not reject female recruits, but due to the nature of the work and its entry barriers, the number of female agents remains lower than that of males, which in turn relatively lowers the identification threshold.

Thanks to Aomo, who possesses unforgettable memory via memory crystals, constantly fresh perception, and excellent observational skills, he can quickly compare his memory and recognize those two.

"I am Aomo Lindun, hoping you still have an impression of me."

"Ah?"

Although only one person made a sound, their lack of decorum already revealed the impact on both clearly.

"It's just a disguise, not worth mentioning, but if you still have doubts, you might as well report to Bixiketuxe and have her send me a confirmation message."

"Um… then I don't know what you want?"

"Why use honorifics? In terms of social standing, you two are higher than me, a mercenary. Anyway, I'm very concerned about that Halloween notice; that's probably why you're here, right? Or did I guess wrong? Are you just pure horse-girl enthusiasts?"

"Me, me, me, I am! I'm still a fan of Meibuh Bourbon!" The plain-clothed girl raised her hand to adjust the beret on her head, "But I'm also on duty."

"Thank you for liking her, miss; perhaps I'll have a chance to get you an autograph."

"Really?!"

""……" The pseudo-horse girl silently looked at her fellow horse-girl cook.'

"Naturally it's true, but before that, I hope you all……" Aomo hadn't finished speaking when he slightly lifted his eyes, raised his hand, and tapped open the light screen just activated by the message.

【I won't do everything for free: you still cosplay horse girls?!】

【Yuehuanshe: 【Picture】, I think this is different from what you imagined】

【I won't do everything for free: Oh… this isn't Kulanta, huh】

【Yuehuanshe: Please respond to the staff first; I'm here racing against time】

"Now you should have received the reply, so may I ask: are you willing to accept a mercenary from an office doing volunteer work in the channel?"

"Um… this is normally not allowed; only in an emergency situation where unrelated persons must be conscripted on the spot could it possibly……"

"But the mercenaries who actively offer assistance should count as another kind of standard, right?" Ma Niang Chu's coworker seems to have been half-bought.

"It's fine if we can't directly share information."

Not wanting to spend too much time, Aomo simply stepped back.

"I only hope that when you notice something wrong, you will be the first to warn me," he conveyed, turning his head to look at the distant, more crowded stage, and also glancing at the confirmation message sent from the artist on the stage before him, "As for myself, I will eliminate that risk from the angle most convenient for providing protection."

"The angle most convenient for providing protection? You want to mix into the bodyguard team?"

Faced with this 'Ma Niang' who directly proposed a violation idea, the questioning 'Ma Niang' had a subtle expression, while the Ma Niang Chu beside them also didn't know what to say.

But then I saw the other party shake their head.

"There's also a better and more legal way."

"For example, becoming a temporary assistant to the artist, helping with the intermission performance."
