Chapter 2326 The Choice That Must Be Made

From Gin's perspective, this is what he sees—

"A new member, Kiri Rena, who has not yet been trusted by the organization, was secretly tracked by Gin and the others in order to track her whereabouts, as well as as part of the test. One day, they found that her behavior was a bit abnormal, so Gin and the others followed the tracking device to see what was going on, and that's how they witnessed that scene."

"In other words, the story goes that Rena Mizunashi discovered an intruder, followed him but was discovered and subdued by him. However, before Gin and the others arrived, Rena Mizunashi, having endured inhuman torture, fought a desperate battle with her insane will and killed the intruder, saving herself. She also discovered that the intruder had an accomplice, but because the accomplice chose to commit suicide, no information about the intruder could be found."

After Takato brought up the tracker and recounted the full picture of events from Gin's, or rather, the organization's, perspective, Takato concluded:
"Therefore, for Gin and his team, based on the various details that were subsequently discovered, it seems that this is the truth of the matter, and there is no other evidence to suggest that there is another possibility."

"However, as I just said, things might seem explainable from Gin's perspective, but from the infiltrator's point of view, his choice is clearly illogical—"

"When an infiltrator is discovered, and the pursuer is dealt with immediately, the infiltrator neither kills the pursuer outright nor chooses to escape. Instead, the pursuer is spared to extract information from the pursuer..."

"Not to mention that Rena Mizunashi was not a core member of the organization at the time and had limited information, even if the other party was certain that the stalker they had subdued held a high position in the organization and must have extraordinary information, then risking their life to interrogate them for the sake of information should not have been done on the spot, right?"

"Besides, an intelligence agent who can subdue a stalker would definitely check the items on Mizunashi Rena before interrogating her. So, think back to that detail I mentioned earlier—"

"Would someone like that not have noticed the tracking device installed on Rena Mizunashi?"

"Therefore, unless the other party is an infiltrator who is all brawn and no brains, it is impossible for a well-trained intelligence officer not to have discovered this."

"Subsequent investigations by the organization have consistently failed to confirm their identities, which clearly indicates that the other party is a well-trained intelligence agent."

"Therefore, the other party must have discovered the existence of the tracker. At that point, the other party would realize that he was not facing just Mizunashi Rena, but that other members of the organization would inevitably come to check on him at some point. In that case, staying at the scene would not be a wise move."

As Gao Yuan analyzed the situation more deeply from the infiltrator's perspective, Shiho Miyano's brows furrowed even more deeply.

"However, the infiltrator ultimately died, while Rena Mizunashi survived—that's an undeniable fact..."

At that moment, Shiho Miyano seemed to have thought of something, but didn't know where to begin analyzing it. She simply said this and then pondered:

"If there's a problem with the truth of this matter, meaning that what Rena Mizunashi said isn't true, then from the time Gin and the others discovered that Rena Mizunashi's whereabouts were suspicious until they arrived at the scene, not much time must have passed, yet the scene they ultimately found contained such complete evidence to prove what Rena Mizunashi said..."

"How do you explain this?"

"If Rena Mizunashi's identity is also questionable, then it means she must also be an intelligence agent for some organization. And when she discovered another intelligence agent who had infiltrated the organization, the logical course of action would be... "No, I should say, if there were two intelligence agents, why was it that person who died?"

Clearly, after thinking deeply about this issue, Shiho Miyano realized there were more problems involved.

Takato nodded in agreement with what Shiho Miyano had said:
“That’s right, everything you said is correct. I think it’s precisely because of these issues that the organization ultimately didn’t doubt Rena Mizunashi and instead believed her. After all, without this explanation, it would be difficult to clarify these doubts.”

"Why is it that the other party actually has a recording device on them recording the interrogation of Rena Mizunashi to prove Rena Mizunashi's words? And if even Rena Mizunashi is really problematic, why was someone else ultimately abandoned, and why were their companions also implicated in the process...?"

"The second question is, in the situation at the time, in order to complete the mission, it was Rena Mizunashi who should have been abandoned because she had not yet been trusted by the organization. As for the person whose identity the organization did not know, in fact, no one knew who he was except Rena Mizunashi."

"Therefore, as long as we give up on Mizunashi Rena, we can actually save the infiltrator and his companion. On the contrary, if we want to save Mizunashi Rena, it is impossible without the recording device and other evidence."

In this way, Gao Yuan explained in detail the problems that Miyano Shiho had thought of, and Miyano Shiho nodded in agreement:

"That's right. From what I understand, when intelligence personnel have to make sacrifices, they will definitely choose to maximize their interests in order to make a choice. In this case, sacrificing one to save two is the right solution, isn't it?"

"Unless the two sides do not belong to the same faction, then for their own benefit, they can only prioritize their own interests. In that situation, Rena Mizunashi was already so badly injured, with her limbs wounded by arrows, that she had no room to resist. The other side could have easily taken her life, but..."

"Not only did the infiltrator sacrifice himself, but he also endangered his companions? This..."

After analyzing the situation, Shiho Miyano felt that there were more and more inconsistencies. If she believed Rena Mizunashi's explanation, the only problem would be the fact that the intruder did not leave immediately after subduing Rena Mizunashi.

"If there's one point of doubt, it might just be an oversight by the other party. But if you think about other possibilities and suspect Rena Mizunashi, one point of doubt after another will appear, and you simply can't think of any way to justify them."

Therefore, after saying this, Shiho Miyano could only look at Takato with a puzzled expression, wanting to know what exactly was going on—

"Your analysis is correct. Perhaps the organization considered this as well, which ultimately led to Rena Mizunashi being highly valued. But actually, there's only one answer to explain these issues, but I'm afraid many people would rack their brains and still not come up with it—"

"That is, for that infiltrator, he wanted to protect Mizunashi Rena more than he wanted to protect himself and his companions."

"This has nothing to do with their work discipline or the current situation. Even if things get to the worst point, that person will definitely choose to protect Mizunashi Rena!" (End of Chapter)
