Chapter 569 A Grand Gathering of Intelligence Organizations: The Most Deadly Form of Imagination is the Unseen Imagination; The Akai Family's Unusual Reunion
In another cinema just one street away from the Oni-no-Otori Grand Theater.

A group of people walked in.

Nearly one-third of them are foreigners.

The leader was a middle-aged white man in his fifties, flanked by a gentle-looking, tall, slender man with squinty eyes and a tall, fierce-looking white man on each side.

The squinty-eyed man was accompanied by a beautiful blonde woman.

"Buy 20 tickets for the movie 'The Silence of the Lambs'."

The middle-aged white man walked up to the ticket counter and spoke to the clerk inside.

"OK, just a second."

“Shuichi…”

Carmel sidled up to Shuichi Akai, who was still disguised as Subaru Okiya to conceal his identity, and whispered, "We've all been mobilized this time, right?"

Hideaki Akai nodded: "FBI personnel in Japan have basically all been mobilized unless they have a mission."

Judy, standing next to her, couldn't help but twitch her lips. It really was a full-scale mobilization!
Even when we fought with other organizations before, it wasn't on this scale...

James, who was walking back with his movie ticket in hand, also twitched at the corner of his eye when he heard this.

This time, the entire FBI really showed up... mobilized, with at least a thousand people from all over the country!
They were scattered across various cinemas. There were only 20 of them, but some cinemas were almost completely booked by the FBI.

Even though he didn't have to pay for it himself, James still felt a pang of regret and was also worried about how to submit a report to his superiors to ask for reimbursement.

You can't exactly say it was an FBI team-building activity where they went to see a movie...

"We're here to find evidence of an organized conspiracy!"

Shuichi Akai saw through James's predicament and offered a righteous excuse.

Judy: ...If it weren't for the fact that Shuichi's lips were practically drooling, I almost would have believed it!
The others also saw through Shuichi Akai's intentions, but no one called him out on it.

After all... who isn't here just to have some fun?

The group, filled with excitement, marched into the screening room in a grand procession.

……

Almost at the same time.

Another group of about 20 people entered a movie theater in Tokyo.

One of them went up to buy the tickets, then returned and handed them to the burly white man in the lead. The latter asked, "Is everything settled for the others?"

"The entire CIA, including its undercover agents, has been instructed to go to the cinema to watch 'The Silence of the Lambs'."

The subordinate reported in a low voice.

The burly white man nodded: "Hopefully we can find some clues..."

Then he frowned again.

"Has there been any definite news from Kiel yet? Why would Gin suddenly go off to make a movie out of nowhere?"

"I'm sorry, sir, Kiel said she hasn't found the cause yet and needs more time."

The burly white man hesitated for a moment, his expression turning serious:

“Gin would never do something so outrageous without a reason. There must be some unknown conspiracy behind it, which is very likely related to the organization’s core secrets. Tell Gil to find out as soon as possible!”

"Yes, sir!"

The burly white man narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful look flashing in them, and murmured:
"I'd like to see what role you're playing in this movie, Gin..."

……

Ghostly Grand Theater.

Sera Masumi and her mother, Akai Mary, also came here.

Although "The Silence of the Lambs" is an R-rated film, given the methods of Akai and her daughter, getting to watch it wouldn't be difficult at all.

The two women pretended to be sisters and discreetly entered the screening room.

After settling into her seat, Sera Masumi asked her mother in a low voice, "The organization actually let Gin act in a movie? Mom, what do you think their purpose is?" Akai Mary shook her head, her rosy face also showing confusion, and she frowned as she analyzed the situation:

"The organization must have a deeper meaning in doing this. It's definitely not just about participating in a movie. There must be something secret behind it."

“I have contacted the British side and arranged for MI6 agents to infiltrate cinemas around the world to conduct close surveillance. I suspect that the organization may be trying to divert our attention and then use this as a cover to carry out some important secret transaction.”

"You mean Gin was a bait deliberately thrown out by the organization?" Sera Masumi asked incredulously. "That's too high a price to pay!"

"That's precisely why it proves the organization has grand ambitions. Zhen Chun, do you see that person up ahead...?"

Mary Akai looked extremely serious and pointed her little finger in a certain direction in front of her.

Sera Masumi looked closely and her gaze fell on a certain person, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

Although the other person tried to disguise themselves, she recognized them at a glance with her keen eyes.

Subaru Okiya...is he here too?

Sera Masumi then looked puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind her mother's words. Was there anything suspicious about Okiya Subaru?

“I once doubted this person’s identity, but now I am certain.”

Mary Akai's lips curled into a cold smile.

“I happen to know the guy next to Subaru Okiya, James Black, a high-ranking FBI agent…”

"He's an FBI agent?!"

The "he" that Sera Masumi was referring to was naturally Subaru Okiya. She wasn't surprised that Mary Akai recognized James; after all, which of the world's major intelligence organizations hadn't infiltrated each other?

What surprised her was Subaru Okiya's identity; she never expected that this rising star would be an FBI agent!

"The FBI's presence further confirms my suspicion that the organization is involved in a massive conspiracy!"

Mary Akai said in a firm tone.

"Only by using Gin as bait can we attract the attention of ourselves, the FBI, and even more intelligence organizations, making it easier for the organization to act!"

With the facts laid bare, Sera Masumi now also feels that the organization must be plotting a top-secret, unspeakable plan, even at the cost of "sacrificing" someone as important as Gin. The thought of what's hidden behind it is chilling.

Mary Akai's eyes gleamed with wisdom: "Unfortunately, no matter how well the organization plans, they can't hide it from me in the end. This time, I'll turn the tables on them and mobilize the power of MI6. I'm sure I can deal a heavy blow to the organization!"

Seeing her confident mother, Sera Masumi immediately showed an excited expression, as if she could see the organization suffering a great blow.

My own mother truly deserves to be called the most elite agent!
……

Three rows behind the excited Mary Akai and her daughter, a young couple sat down.

"Hideyoshi, you dare to be late for our date!"

Miyamoto Yumi complained fiercely to the handsome young man beside her, who had a lazy air about him.

"Oh dear, it's all my fault for being too focused during the competition. I'm so sorry, Yumi-chan~"

Haneda Hideyoshi hurriedly scratched the back of his head and apologized with a silly grin.

Looking at her lazy boyfriend, Miyamoto Yumi helplessly pursed her lips, secretly reached out her small hand and pinched the soft flesh on his waist hard!
"what--"

Hideyoshi Haneda almost jumped up.

Hearing the screams of agony from the other party, Miyamoto Yumi nodded in satisfaction.

"Yumi-chan, you're too violent..." Haneda Hideyoshi muttered under his breath, rubbing his aching back.

"Um?!"

Miyamoto Yumi's eyes instantly turned sharp.

Haneda Hideyoshi shrank back and quickly changed his tune: "It's frankness! I love Yumi-chan's frank and cute side!"

Looking at the smiling Yumi Miyamoto, Hideyoshi Haneda was moved to tears.

Fortunately, the lights in the screening room dimmed at that moment.

The movie has finally started...
