"Boss, who was that woman just now?"
In Toru's office, Rei knocked on the door. He walked in, looking back with lingering fear, as if he could still see Tomie's back.
That woman gave him a very bad feeling.
Toru looked up. He clasped his hands together, rested his chin on them, and looked at Rei, carefully observing his eyes.
He suddenly smiled and said, "It seems Amuro, you also noticed the problem with that woman."
"But I'm glad you weren't fooled by her."
As he said this, Toru muttered to himself.
If it weren't for the system, he probably would have been fooled by Tomie.
But looking at Rei, he had managed to break free from Tomie's bewitching influence through his own strength.
Toru sighed inwardly. He really did have excessive desires. Compared to Rei's simplicity, he was somewhat lacking in this regard.
Acknowledging one's shortcomings was the driving force for continued progress.
However, Toru also knew that he probably could not change when it came to desire. He was inherently a man with strong desires.
Rei's expression became serious. "That woman is indeed problematic. The moment I saw her, I had an impulse to do anything for her, to agree to anything she asked."
"Boss, what's going on? Is that woman some kind of psychology expert? Is she using psychological suggestion?"
Rei could not imagine the bewitching ability Tomie possessed and could only attribute her ability to scientific means.
Toru looked at him with a half-smile and suddenly said, "Amuro, no matter what ability that woman has, you shouldn't need to worry about it, right? It has nothing to do with you."
Rei was startled and quickly tried to find an excuse.
Toru waved his hand. "Alright, let's be frank about some things."
"Toru Amuro is just your alias. Your real name is Rei, and you belong to the Japan Security Bureau, currently working undercover in a certain Organization."
"And the reason you came here to be a store manager is because you were ordered by that Organization to monitor me, the CIA, right?"
Rei listened as Toru clearly laid out his background and his undercover activities.
His pupils contracted slightly, but he was not as flustered as he expected. Instead, he calmly said, "So, Boss, you knew everything."
"I know many things, far beyond your imagination," Toru smiled meaningfully.
He took a document from his desk drawer and said, "Rei, this is your resignation letter. I approve it."
"It seems the Organization you are currently in has given up on monitoring me."
Rei's mind raced. Since Toru knew everything, he did not need to hide anymore. As a member of the CIA, Toru probably knew no less about the Black Organization than he did.
He nodded heavily. "I received a request from that Organization to stop monitoring you, Boss, and they have replaced me with someone else."
Not long ago, the two leaders of the Black Organization went their separate ways, and the entire Organization completely split.
Rei was secretly delighted, thinking the opportunity to completely destroy the Organization had arrived.
Even the strongest fortress would crumble from within.
When the Black Organization was in internal turmoil, that was the time for this Organization to completely collapse.
But things did not go as planned. Even though the Black Organization split, it continued to operate in an orderly manner, leaving Rei no opportunity to destroy it.
And he, Bourbon of the Black Organization, also received a new mission from Rum.
Stop monitoring Toru and instead monitor Gin.
Rei was very willing to take on this mission and, for once, decided to properly follow the Organization's orders.
Gin, as the Organization's top killer, had always been a thorn in Rei's side.
Now that he could openly monitor him, and even find an opportunity to kill him, how could Rei not be willing?
However, Rei did not know that the Rum who gave him the order was Toru.
And Toru was using his psychology, using his sense of justice, to give him a job he would take seriously.
This was the way of controlling subordinates.
Rei's sense of justice would never truly support all of Toru's actions, as many of Toru's actions were no different from crimes.
But Toru also had his own methods, using his personality in turn to make Rei work for him.
For example, ordering him to monitor Gin, or for instance, the new order Toru was now issuing.
"Rei, my father is the Chairman of the Japan National Security Committee, your immediate superior."
"Although I am only a district mayor in Japan and have no authority to order you."
"However, for the national security of Japan, I still want to assign you a task."
Toru's tone was sincere, as if he was truly thinking about the future of Japan.
Rei subconsciously straightened up and said thoughtfully, "Is it related to that woman just now?"
Toru slowly nodded. "Yes. Actually, this is information I obtained from the CIA. The existence of that girl named Tomie is top secret."
"She is very dangerous, and you have also witnessed her ability. This is not psychological suggestion, but something more mysterious."
"The task I am giving you is to monitor her and report all her movements to me."
"But you must be careful not to let her get hurt as much as possible, and certainly not let her fall into life-threatening danger. You even need to protect her."
"According to our research, if that woman is in life-threatening danger, her death is likely to bring about a greater, uncontrollable crisis!"
Leaving aside Tomie's bewitching ability, the most terrifying thing about her was actually her ability to regenerate infinitely, similar to Majin Buu.
From the currently known information, Tomie had not regenerated or shown this ability yet.
But Toru dared not gamble on Tomie regenerating all over the world.
The simplest method was undoubtedly to prevent Tomie from having the possibility of regeneration, which meant not letting people charmed by her kill her.
Monitoring Tomie became a necessary task.
But this job was extremely dangerous. A slight mistake was like monitoring a contained anomaly and being corrupted by Tomie in return.
Ordinary people did not have the ability to monitor her.
Toru did not dare let Curacao monitor her. Curacao was a powerful and obedient subordinate, and Toru cared a lot about Curacao.
If Curacao were corrupted by Tomie and he lost such a powerful subordinate, Toru would also be heartbroken.
Therefore, it was best to entrust this matter to Rei.
From the situation just now, Rei had strong resistance to Tomie's bewitching ability.
Even if Rei ultimately failed, Toru would not feel distressed.
He was not an obedient subordinate, and they were not on the same path, so he should make the best use of him.
"Rei, if you need an official order, I will go to my father and give you this task in the name of the Security Committee, to protect Japan from harm!"
Toru was righteous, and his eyes were sincere, as if he was willing to sacrifice everything for this country.
Rei actually believed it.
Because of Toru's past actions, which had saved so many ordinary citizens of Japan, he believed that Toru was a person who deeply loved this country, just like himself.
However, Rei did not know that those things were originally caused by Toru. If there had been no Toru, there would not have been so many incidents.
Rei nodded solemnly. "I will complete this mission. Please rest assured, for the country!"
Very good, let Rei test the limits of Tomie's ability. Come on, Rei, I have high hopes for you!
