Chapter 6 Chapter Six

I don't know how many hours have passed, half asleep and half awake, I got up from the sofa.As usual, I did flex exercises, push-ups, sit-ups, and then I lay down on the carpet to catch my breath.Juli's face appeared directly above, "Good morning!" "It's very early, and you still haven't fallen asleep?" "hungry." "Wait a minute, I'll do it now." I got up and walked to the kitchen. Eat toast, boiled eggs and vegetable juice for breakfast.Making coffee is a bit of a hassle. I turned on my computer while biting my toast, and checked my e-mail. There were only two letters, and they were all letters that could be answered or not.This setback at the car park turned me into a black five, but I will never admit defeat, and I will definitely come back again!

I felt a line of sight behind me, and when I turned around, I saw Juri looking at the computer screen.What's up?I ask her. "Did Dad see that letter?" She said in a hesitant tone. "Do you want to confirm it?" "Ok." I pressed the ICON on the computer browser for two years, and then entered the website of the CPT fan club to see the things on the bulletin board. There are two more messages than what I saw last night, but none of them seem to be from Katsutoshi Katsuragi. "No reply yet." I said as I logged off. "He hasn't arrived yet."

"No way. The purpose of putting the fax machine in the study is to anticipate that there may be urgent matters to be contacted. When we wake up in the morning, we usually check to see if there is anything coming in. I think he should be reading the threat letter now. Thinking Just figure out how to deal with it." I checked the time, it was just past eight o'clock in the morning. Leave the front of the computer and finish the remaining toast, boiled eggs and vegetable juice. "Now let's think about what your father will do. First of all, he will contact the police. In his position, he must have one or two good police friends. The investigator of the police kidnapping project will be in about I will arrive at your house in an hour. During this period, your father will call into the company and say that he will not enter the company because he has some private matters to deal with. The rest of the time, unless there is something urgent, you must keep an eye on your home Then I will also call and tell the helper’s wife that she will not come today. And the wife and another daughter are not allowed to go out today. Well, that’s about it.”

"What about the contact with the bank?" "You're talking about the ransom, right? It's still early, you have to talk to the police. Besides, this is Katsuragi Katsutoshi, who dominates the party. How to raise such a small sum of 300 million yuan, he has already thought about it." There are so many banks that will get money out just because of his face!" I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower, shaving and thinking about the future.Anyway, Katsuragi Katsutoshi will definitely reply to the letter on the website, and it will be a reply to the transaction, which will never be wrong.But this matter will not end like this. He will definitely set out the conditions first, wanting to confirm the safety of his daughter and so on.So how to respond here.

After I brushed my teeth and went back to the room, Juri sat on the sofa and watched TV, which seemed to be a news program. "Are you going to work in the company?" "So I still look like an office worker?" "What should I do in the meantime?" "Although I want to say that you can do whatever you like, but if it's really too casual, I'm afraid there will be trouble. First of all, you can't go out of this house. This is the general principle. No matter who presses the intercom, it doesn't matter, and it is strictly forbidden to call And answer the phone. As long as you keep these promises, you can do whatever you like here."

"I'm going to be hungry!" "There's frozen fried rice, there's reheated food in the pantry and canned food. I'm sorry, but bear with me for today. You can drink wine or beer, but don't overdo it. Don't get drunk and do weird things. Get in trouble." "You can't even go to the convenience store." "Can you think about what we are doing!? It's not a simple hide-and-seek game!" Speaking of this, I raised my index finger and said: "The correction is not what we are doing, but what we are doing. The game It has already begun, and there is no turning back."

She should understand these principles, but she still looked back at me with sharp eyes that wanted to argue.In fact, the more she looks like this, the more reassuring she is. After leaving the apartment, I took the subway to work as usual.Looking at the image of myself reflected on the glass window, I feel very satisfied. No matter how I look at it, I look like an office worker, and I can't tell that I am someone who plans to kidnap or threaten others.Where in the world would there be a kidnapper wearing an Armani suit to work? To me, crime is not a big deal, especially crime for money is like going to work.The only difference is that to go to work is to find a way to exploit loopholes in the law, but to commit crimes is to exploit the loopholes of the police.As for coercion and trading, they are actually the same thing.It's just that it's much easier to deal with hard-headed customers.

Although I told Juli that there was no turning back, I didn't think so in my heart.If you feel dangerous, just retreat quickly.It's not difficult for Juli to keep her mouth shut, she also wants to hide that this is a kidnapping for a prank.It's nothing to be afraid of if it is found out.She just needs to say that she was tricked into taking this prank.She would argue that it was my idea, but there was no proof.In fact, the most important thing about this incident is that the victim Katsuragi Katsutoshi will be afraid that the whole truth will be exposed in society. Of course, I have no intention of turning back now.As of today, I have never failed any challenge, and this game is the same, you must pass the test.

The company only has some boring affairs waiting for me.It was a joint promotional job for a movie starring a popular girl singer and a video game of the same name. I don't think it is necessary to use a big man to do such a boring project.I was thinking about how to get the ransom during the meeting, which is much more interesting. After I got back to my seat, I went online again and checked the CPT webpage to see if there was any reply from Katsuragi Katsutoshi. I'm probably still discussing with the police. I regret that I didn't write a deadline, so that the other party will have enough time to think about how to deal with it.

"What are you looking at?" A voice came from behind. Before thinking about whose voice it was, I closed the window on the computer, and when I looked back, Sugimoto was already half bent. That is to say, was he already looking at my computer screen before that? "Found any interesting website?" he asked again. "No, it's just killing time." It would be troublesome if you let him know what website it is. "I plan to collect some information about idol movies." "Ah, the case of the movie starring Yumi Kurihara as the protagonist of the video game!"

"yes." "That's hard work!" The expression on Sugimoto's face was one of sympathy for me and a sense of superiority at the same time.He should be thinking in his heart that the positions of the two are completely reversed now. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to know that I'm looking at this website. "Shouldn't we have a meeting with Rixing today?" I asked him. "Well, there was supposed to be a meeting, but I just called urgently and said it was cancelled." "It's Sun Xing who said it was going to be cancelled?" "Yeah, it seems that Mr. Katsuragi is busy." "Mr. Katsuragi?" "I think it doesn't matter if the vice president doesn't attend, it's just that this project can't go smoothly without him." He probably realized that he said something that he shouldn't have said in front of me. "Then I'll go first." Sugimoto said and left. I tap my index finger on the table.Even Katsutoshi Katsuragi would feel embarrassed when he received a threatening letter from a prisoner.His face should be blue and red at home now! I left the company at noon and had lunch at a nearby coffee shop.While drinking coffee after dinner, I rethought how to get the ransom. The amount of 300 million yuan is quite considerable, even if it is stuffed into a bag, it will not be able to hold any of it.Assuming it fits in, manual operation is also a big problem. Kidnappers are often caught because they haven't thought through how to get the ransom.However, for the police, paying the ransom is a good time to arrest people.The police will imagine many situations in advance and set up a net. After I finished my coffee and went back to the office, the atmosphere inside the company changed a bit, especially some of my colleagues acted very urgently. I grabbed the one next to me and came in to ask what happened. "Oh, this is a big event. The vice president of Sunstar Motors seems to be coming." "Mr. Katsuragi? Come here? Why?" Houjin shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, I just contacted you suddenly. It made the person in charge of the new car event panic." "Oh……" I'm also a bit confused, what's going on?Although he is the concubine's child, but after all, his own daughter was also kidnapped, so is he still in the mood to come out to work? There is only one possibility, that Katsuragi Katsutoshi hasn't seen the threatening letter yet.I just thought that this uneducated daughter didn't say that she would stay away from home continuously. Has his space not received the threatening letter, or has he not read it?If it's the latter, there's no problem; if it's the former, it's a headache, because you still have to find out why you haven't received it. I picked up the phone on the table and called back to my apartment to check if there was any problem with Katsuragi's fax machine.But after three rings, I suddenly remembered that I was not allowed to answer the phone. No way, I turn on the computer to go online for a typical demonstration, enter the CPT fan club website, and look at the bulletin board:. At that moment, I almost cried out.Because I saw this reply article: wish to buy() Hello, my name is Julie.This time someone asked if they want to buy CPT, I want to buy it.But the price is very high, and it will take some time to raise money, and I think it is necessary to know the details of the contract. The pseudonym Julie and Juli couldn't be the same by chance!And the content is the hope of a transaction, which should not be wrong. In other words, this should be Katsuragi Katsutoshi's message. I was a little stunned, when suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder, it was Kozuka. "President..." "Sorry to interrupt your work." He lowered his voice: "Can you come together? I think you have heard that Mr. Gecheng is coming. He hopes you can also attend." I pouted and said to him: "At this point today, why should I attend? I am a useless person, or a person in the past tense?" Otsuka waved his hand wearily and said: "Don't be so sour. In fact, Mr. Katsuragi said something very strange." "Strange thing? What is it this time?" "Not sure what it is, seems to want to watch video games." "Video games?" "It's a video game planned by our company. He asked us to select ten representative works and listen to our explanations on the content and reasons for development. I don't know what his purpose is. Will he want to find some new cars from here to announce his plans? Inspiration?" "How could he do such a strange thing?" "I think so too. But he said he wants to see it, so I can't help but show it to him!?" "That's it." Forget it, I sighed and stood up from my chair. This is Katsuragi Katsutoshi, I don't know what he is going to do.From the comments on the bulletin board of the website, it can be confirmed that he read the threatening letter.Then there is such a father whose daughter is kidnapped and can come out to work with a normal heart?In other words, because Yu threatened to believe that he didn't send anything at all.Although he responded according to the instructions, he only thought it was a prank?Or did he think that it would be ridiculous if such a thing could make him panic! No, it's hard to explain it that way.It is a fact that Shuli disappeared, and I haven't contacted him all the time, so I naturally think that he was kidnapped. Maybe it was an order from the police.The representative of the police said to Katsutoshi Katsuragi like this: Mr. Katsuragi, please calm down now, the prisoner will not just do something to Ms. Juli so easily, she is an important hostage anyway.Once the hesitation is discovered by the media, it will be even worse.So, Mr. Katsuragi, you still have the same routine as usual, go to work as usual, and work as usual. If there is any movement, please contact me immediately.As long as the wife is at home, we can leave the rest to us, and the prisoners don't use the phone anyway—it should be like this. It's just that what I care about is that he wants to come to the company to listen to the video game planning. What is this for?Could it be that he realized that the prisoner was someone from the company?This is unlikely. While thinking about this at the guest reception room, the door was opened with the sound of knocking, and the reception lady opened the door, and Katsutoshi Katsuragi appeared behind her. Katsutoshi Katsuragi sat on the single sofa with his feet up, listening to the explanation given by the cyber planning staff.In front of him was a computer with an LCD screen, on which were displayed descriptions of various video games and targets in the market.Of course, these are not things to be rushed, but explanatory materials used when developing proposals.Next to the computer is a small TV connected to the game console, which actually shows the various types of games that have been commercialized.The controller of the video game machine was also placed in front of Katsuragi Katsutoshi, but he didn't seem to intend to reach out to touch it. I watched his expression while waiting to go on stage.He looked at the video game with a look of disinterest, but the questions he asked were substantive and sharp: why did he intend to make this game, why did he think there would be a market, whether he would question his feelings—and asked a lot of these questions. class questions.Among them, there are also people who don't know what to say.Just looking at this appearance, it is impossible to imagine that Katsuragi Katsutoshi wanted to use this to recognize the person who kidnapped his daughter. Finally it was my turn to play.The video game I want to introduce is called "The Mask of Youth". In fact, this is a game of life.The person who plays the game is related to the birth of a certain character, but what kind of parents will be born is determined by the computer. The player who plays the game can choose what kind of genetic factors they get from their parents at first, and decide to be born as a boy Still born as a girl.After birth, although you go from kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school all the way to school, you have to make choices about what books to read, which friends to hang out with, how much time to spend, etc. during this period.If you only study blindly because you think about your future, you may fall into a certain trap.The biggest selling point of this game is that the appearance of the chosen character will subtly change according to life experience. "There's something called physiognomy," I explained to Katsuragi. "The idea is: face is the environment in which people live, and it also has a manifestation over the years. For example, after collecting and averaging the faces of people in a certain profession in the computer, you will get a face that is unique to that profession The faces of politicians, bankers, and people in the pornographic industry do exist. But fate is not determined by appearance, but by the path of life. This game is very interesting One of the places is what kind of face you will get after accumulating various experiences in life.” "The problem isn't the face, is it?" Katsuragi Katsutoshi said. "Listen to what you said, the result is a face. I don't think people live for a face!?" "As you said, that's why I made the previous explanation. This is just one of the interesting points. People don't live for a face-that's right. But the face is very important in life Yes. At various stages, the face will affect the fate of this person. For example, when it is big, or when it is a blind date. Among the girls who want to enter the showbiz, there are not a few who received plastic surgery in their teens. In In this game, the face formed in the process of accumulating life experience must accept several stages of challenges. People who do not socialize with others and only know that they have studied for a lifetime will look abnormal, and such a face gives people First impressions are not good, so it won’t turn out well in interviews or blind dates. You are responsible for how you look—this has been said since ancient times.” "In this way, if gamers can't get the desired face due to wrong choices, can they only get frustration in the end?" "Isn't the same in real life? But this is a game. At this time, there is a secret weapon, that is the mask! The player who plays the game is in a hurry, and can use the prepared mask to put on the protagonist. This mask It is a copy at that point in time. Players can change the copied face to a certain extent. The face that doesn’t like to smile can be turned into a face that likes to smile. It’s just that the number of times you can use this mask will be limited, isn’t it The mask can be worn all the time. The result is that the player must constantly work hard for the protagonist's face. The ultimate goal of this game is to grasp happiness! In order to obtain happiness, what kind of mask is needed, the player must continue to explore go down." My words may be a bit long, but I still don't know how much Katsuragi Katsutoshi has listened to, which makes me a little uneasy, or in the current situation, no matter what I say, he doesn't listen attentively. "Although I don't know if it will be a big hit." Katsuragi Katsutoshi said. "However, this is a thought-provoking idea. Experience creates a face, and then this face determines fate. In a sense, it may still be true." "Don't dare, dare not." "But what would it be like to wear a mask on important occasions? For young people who are struggling with interpersonal relationships, it may be a convenient tool. As long as you are human, anyone will have setbacks, and it is okay to say that it is necessary. " "But it's just a game." "Even if it's a game, it's also very important for players to admit their lack of ability." When Katsuragi Katsutoshi said this, he sat down on the sofa, clasped his hands on his knees, looked up at me and said: "I want to ask you a question." "Please say." "Are you responsible for your own face?" I couldn't answer immediately, because I didn't know what he meant by asking this question. "I think I'm responsible." "In that case, for you, in order to obtain the mask of happiness, it is your current face?" "Well... what do you think?" I smiled socially. Katsutoshi Katsuragi looked at my face frequently, then turned his gaze to Kotsuka and said: "Thank you, next one please!" -------------------------------- Note:
