Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 255 - 135: Seeing "Yourself" for Yourself

Unfortunately, there wasn't much time left for Gu Ji to ponder.

Soon, his perspective shifted away from "Baron," gradually looking down on the bustling New York Times Square.

Riot control vehicles blocking intersections, police escorting suspects, plastic explosives shattered by water cannon shots—accompanied by the BGM reaching its climax, the game's notification sound finally appeared, lines of settlement text began to appear before his eyes.

[Ultimate Goal: Live Broadcast Bomb Crisis (Solved)] ★★★

[Killed or Subdued Terrorists: 2] ☆

[Casualties in Bomb Attack: 13]

[Hidden Objective: Discover the Reason Behind the Bombing (Completed)] ☆☆☆

[Death Reload: 1 Time] ☆

[Total Time Used: 6 hours 54 minutes 36 seconds]

Watching stars fall one by one, Gu Ji noticed that several items that should have added points were now left blank.

One must admit, this bomb scenario was indeed the toughest crisis he had encountered so far.

Firstly, his actions were restricted from the start, having to follow the bomber's arrangements.

Secondly, there were too many "enemies." Besides terrorists and bombs, he had to face police capture and resistance from the scene's security personnel.

The most frustrating part was that he couldn't seek help.

Thus, all intelligence had to be slowly uncovered through Gu Ji's personal exploration.

But this level was not without a perfect method to clear it.

That is "Don't take it seriously."

If he had approached the first two rounds with a "just trying" mentality, focusing on probing, and experienced multiple death reloads within half an hour, he could have successfully found a pattern and identified the taxi driver as a perpetrator.

Silently abducting him, then using a mysterious computer to defuse remote-controlled bombs, and subsequently cooperating with the police with the perpetrator and photographic evidence, back-tracing the perpetrators' phone locations, it was estimated that within an hour, the HRT could capture them all.

This would result in losing points for death reloads, but he could earn points in the "Total Time Used" and "Casualties" categories, and even score highly in subduing the terrorists.

[Settlement: Total ★★★★; Assessment: Good!]

[You have earned 25.7 Crisis Points!]

[You have obtained a Level 2 Blue Mark Chest (Stage Limited), Level 2 Blue Item Chest (Stage Limited)]

[You have unlocked the item enhancement feature!]

[You have unlocked mark and item recovery features!]

Fortunately, the final score just clipped at four black stars, thereby meeting the higher probability of obtaining stage-limited chests, combined with Gu Ji's 7% settlement bonus from the Cross Medal, making the final rewards presentable.

However, the two newly added functionalities below were indeed practical.

Especially the "item enhancement."

Since using the [Poison Needle Trap] mines in the World War II factory level and Volut Research and Development Center, Gu Ji was completely enamored with these novel weapons now.

If item enhancement could boost the mine's power or refresh rate, for instance, modifying it to detonate in steps, extend sensor range, or refresh one every half month, his strength could be improved by at least 10%.

After the text disappeared.

Gu Ji's vision began to recover, appearing in front of the Elmhurst Avenue Station on the New York City Subway Line 7, with police evacuating the crime scene and cleaners beginning to mop bloodstains on the floor;

The fruit of passion ultimately died from its antics;

In the main venue of the U.S. Open, the organizers and property management company were dispatching more repair workers to rebuild the LED broadcast screens;

At the Volut New York Branch Science and Technology Park, the shaky research center had been sealed off by police, and related security personnel were also under police control;

Mr. York, Jamie, HRT Special Police Captain, and bomb disposal experts...

Each face that once fought alongside Gu Ji appeared before him, and ultimately, the scene returned to New York Times Square, where Gu Ji, like waking from a nap, opened his eyes through "Baron's" body.

To his surprise, Jillian quickly walked up to him.

Gu Ji was well aware he couldn't control "Baron" for much longer. With time pressing, he showed Jillian the "Sauva evidence" on his phone:

"Don't tell me again that the details of the case can't be disclosed. Someone secretly sent me this email, indicating that the terrorists might have accomplices hiding nearby. Have the identities of the six people in the photo been fully investigated?"

"Email..."

Jillian only glanced at the screen, her eyes instantly widening, clearly understanding the gravity of the situation. "The six are all members of the Marine Corps MAGTF Land-Air Expeditionary Force, direct subordinates of Sauva, and the identity of the female terrorist has also been verified. She is none other than Peg's biological sister Gabrielle, working in the Marine Corps' expeditionary logistic support division."

"Logistic Support Division?"

"Exactly, that's the crux of the problem. Although Gabrielle has received some military training, she hasn't learned professional bomb disposal and explosion knowledge!"

"How could it be..."

Gu Ji was slightly taken aback, "But the bullet comments she sent during the live broadcast didn't seem like she was completely inexperienced!"

"So we traced Peg's social connections and found another person: McLean, 28, a bomb disposal expert with the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization. She dated Peg for five years and has not been seen since Peg's death!"

After saying this, Jillian pulled up McLean's profile from her phone and handed it to Gu Ji.

He looked down.

The woman in the photo had blonde hair, a great figure, and distinct features—an efficient and beautiful woman.
