Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

On the television screen, news of explosions around the world and the death of Shuichi Akai continued to play repeatedly, the noisy reports mixed with the emotionless tone of the anchors.

It continuously stimulates the nerves like background noise.

Bai Jiu frowned, a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashing across his face.

Enough is enough; the news of chaos and death is bad enough.

He reached out and pressed the power button on the remote control without hesitation.

"Snapped."

The world fell silent instantly.

Only the light spot in the center of the screen slowly shrank and disappeared, finally plunging into a deathly darkness, revealing his slightly tired face and the outline of the dusty room behind him.

He needs something else, something to help him focus, or at least something to temporarily shut out the noise from the outside world.

He turned around and his gaze fell on an old-fashioned television set that looked even more bulky in the corner.

It's a product from the 1980s and 90s; the thick plastic casing has turned yellow and is covered with a thick layer of dust.

He walked over and wiped away the dust from the button area on the top of the TV with his finger, revealing worn markings underneath. He pressed the raised power switch forcefully.

"Zi la..."

After a brief sound of electricity being switched on, the screen lit up, initially displaying flashing static accompanied by continuous white noise.

Old-style picture tubes require time to warm up.

There is no waiting for baijiu.

He crouched down and opened the door of an equally old-fashioned VCR recorder located beneath the television.

Then, he carefully took out a videotape from his somewhat old-looking bag.

The black plastic casing had a yellowed and curled label with some blurry writing, but it appeared to have a handwritten date and a short code.

He blew away the dust in the cargo hold, carefully pushed the videotape in, and then closed the hatch.

As the mechanical structure whirred, he pressed the triangular button labeled "PLAY".

"Click." The machine began reading the tape.

On the screen, the snowflakes flickered a few times before being replaced by a stable, slightly cluttered image.

The colors are somewhat distorted, and the aspect ratio is the old-fashioned 4:3.

A black raven pattern appears on the screen.

Baijiu leaned back on the old sofa, crossed his arms in front of him, and stared intently at the flickering screen.

The dusty tape began to spin.

"Good evening, baijiu," a man with a hoarse voice said.

“I am your former team leader, Gin.”

"Since you're unwilling to reply to anyone, I'll just contact you directly."

Baijiu listened quietly to the words of the former captain.

The words were both strange and familiar; he had never heard Gin's voice sound so weathered.

Rum's defection, the truth about the adult shrinking, the entire organization is in chaos, and Gin is the only one holding things together...

"Now, I'm taking over the organization."

"First of all, I would like to thank you for your dedication to the organization. It is thanks to your and your partners' perseverance and continuous efforts."

"Otherwise, I think this world would probably be gone by now, wouldn't it?"

“Every life-or-death moment you’ve experienced, every comrade you’ve lost while on a mission…” Gin paused here, then quickly composed himself.

"And every sacrifice you make brings light back to the world."

"Even after you formed your own group and did not follow the organization's instructions, you never let us down."

“In every critical moment, you have always been able to turn the tide. Now I need you to shoulder the heavy responsibility again during the months you have been hiding in Austria to avoid capture.”

"Not only has Tokyo undergone earth-shattering changes, but every corner of cyberspace is filled with that parasitic artificial intelligence that devours the truth."

It can also be called ————

"Intellectual body."

"As a result, digital databases around the world have been compromised, and not only our organization, but also governments and people around the world are unsure of what to believe."

"Hospitality, aggression, and oppressive control have become the new world order."

"In this atmosphere of suspicion, the intelligent entity gave rise to a doomsday cult whose followers are dedicated to wiping out humanity."

"Eliminate corruption in the world."

At that moment, the TV screen switched, and a familiar man appeared in Baijiu's line of sight. It was none other than Kogoro Mouri, the famous detective from Tokyo.

Holding the microphone, sticking out his tongue, he shouted emotionally, "And he said to Noah, 'Behold, I will bring a great flood upon the world!'"

"Let all flesh and blood turn to ashes, and the atomic heart will be born from the ashes."

"Intelligent beings will help them rebuild the world!"

Gin cut off the camera, and his hoarse, heavy voice came through again: "These fanatics are secretly infiltrating all levels of law enforcement, government, and the military."

“Our organization is the same…” Gin chose to remain silent for a long time for the second time.

"The goal is to help their digital owners focus their attention on the target."

Baijiu was very sensitive to hearing, and he clearly noticed that Gin was speaking through gritted teeth.

"The only way we can control the intelligent entity is to find its original source code. As for the whereabouts of the source code, only Rum knows."

"In this world, everything about rum has been wiped away and disappeared completely, like smoke and dust."

"This shows that he had a close working relationship with the intelligence community, which is why he defected from the organization."

"I have entrusted Bourbon and other members with this task."

"The Austrian authorities have detained his accomplice, who is our old friend."

After saying that, the screen immediately switched to a different view.

The liquor was quickly drawn to those cat-like eyes.

The woman appearing on the television screen was none other than her former partner.

Kiel.

“But our old friend seems a bit distant,” Gin sneered. “She hasn’t chosen to reveal any information.”

"so....."

"We have tried everything to find you."

"You have a key in your hand, and it is said that this key is the key to us obtaining the source code of the intelligent entity."

"However, you refused to turn yourself in and refused to return to the organization."

The screen rapidly switched between images, prominently displaying the words "Baijiu is wanted."

"You worry that a government might use this malicious artificial intelligence as a weapon against the whole world, and at the same time you have extremely little trust in the organization."

"You believe that organizations would also use intelligence as a weapon."

"Moreover, you are determined to get rid of the Intelligence Body."

"But have you ever thought about this?"

"Such reckless behavior could lead to the complete destruction of cyberspace."

"It will destroy the global economy! It will plunge the world into complete panic."

"To plunge the whole world into endless war."

"It doesn't just affect organizations; it's a matter of concern for all of humanity."
