On the possibility of Gin's younger brother taking his older brother away

"Ugh?"

M obviously hadn't turned the corner. This was completely different from the mysterious image that Chihara Aki had encountered when he was just reborn. The voice was a little stunned: "What are you talking about?"

The venue suddenly fell into darkness, and then the announcer's voice sounded, and as the curtain opened, the performance officially began.

Chihara Aki's eyes were on the performance on the stage, but her attention was actually focused on the conversation with M.

"The first question is, where are you looking at me?"

"I don't understand what you mean, what do you mean..." M seemed to have not reacted yet, and his tone was full of confusion.

"How do you know that I was going to expose Hattori Heiji's identity?" Chihara Aki seemed to realize something and changed the way he said it.

M said: "How do you know...I have been monitoring your actions in your brain the whole time."

"Always in my head?"

Qian Yuanqiu recalled his previous physical condition and did not feel anything unusual.

This answer was beyond his expectation, because M said that he could not interfere with this world. Chihara Aki believed that M was monitoring him through special means outside the world.

I didn't expect this thing to stay in my mind all this time.

"Yes," it replied in the affirmative.

Qian Yuanqiu narrowed his eyes and said without question: "You are not M."

"Huh? What are you talking about? I'm M."

The voice suddenly rose in pitch and exploded in Qian Yuanqiu's brain. He frowned and exposed its disguise:

"It's so fake. He's so impetuous that he can't even maintain his basic character."

From the moment this impostor started speaking, Qian Yuanqiu felt that its voice was different from M's. Its subsequent tone was completely different from M's. It was a pity that it was so confident that it could deceive him.

Impetuous, how come even the humans in the small world say that they are impetuous, is it that exaggerated?

The voice didn't insist any longer, and its tone weakened: "Yes."

"I didn't hear M say that I had installed this thing of yours in my brain." Qian Yuanqiu suddenly reacted and asked, "Did you come in with the light ball with the energy progress bar?"

"What do you mean you're a thing? I'm not a thing. I'm number 11, M's clone!"

The voice retorted in dissatisfaction, but answered the second half of the sentence honestly: "Yes, I was hidden in that ball of light and was let in together."

Qian Yuanqiu ignored its complaints. Now he was very dissatisfied with M's behavior of hiding it from him. Who knows if he had put anything else in.

He thought about it and asked, "Second question, besides you and the progress detector, is there anything else in my mind?"

"No one else, only me. The reason I stayed here is because my energy fluctuations are so small that they won't be discovered by the T-80." No. 11 clarified.

"The third question is, why didn't M tell me?" Qian Yuanqiu was in a low mood.

No. 11 felt the pressure and explained, "Because I have little energy, staying here can only serve as an emergency brake. Maybe M thinks it doesn't matter whether he tells you or not."

Realizing that this statement did not ease the human's mood, it added:

"That's not what I meant. M believes that you will be cautious enough not to touch the main plot, and I am the last 'insurance' left behind. In other words, if something goes wrong, I will wake up and stop you in time."

"Oh? That doesn't sound like what you believe."

No. 11 didn’t know how to respond, and stammered, “We didn’t think it through.”

However, after Qian Yuanqiu figured out the conversation with M, he guessed that M might have a backup plan, but he did not expect that this backup plan was on him from the beginning.

This thing that is talking doesn't look very smart, but it has human emotions. Judging from its immature voice and emotions, it seems to be immature. If I can control it, it will be more helpful for me to obtain intelligence.

Qian Yuanqiu turned the conversation to No. 11: "Fourth question, what did you do in my mind?"

"Nothing. In order to reduce energy consumption, except for my monitoring function, which has been kept running, the other machines have fallen into hibernation. I only woke up to stop you when I detected your attempt to modify the main plot just now."

No. 11 explained hurriedly.

Qian Yuanqiu did not reply to it, but organized the information he had asked.

The plot on stage reached its climax. The mysterious black knight saved the princess from distress, and everything developed according to the original script.

However, a sudden scream echoed throughout the venue, forcing the performance to end. After the panic, everyone cheered for the true identity of the Black Knight.

Attracted by the sound, Chihara Aki looked at Kudo Shinichi who was in high spirits on the stage. Faced with such an eye-catching scene, he took out his mobile phone and took a picture.

“Why did you take the picture?”

Seeing that Qian Yuanqiu didn't speak for a long time, No. 11 couldn't help but ask.

"Because we need to leave evidence that Kudo Shinichi is still alive." Chihara Aki replied.

Just like the information about APTX-4869, it will come in handy in the future.

No. 11 is still worried about whether it will affect the plot: "If someone accidentally sees it, it will be over. The fact that Kudo Shinichi is alive will be exposed."

"Don't worry, I won't be careless."

Chihara Aki stood far away from the crime scene so as not to disturb Kudo Shinichi's rare reasoning show.

He continued talking to No. 11:

"The fifth question is also my purpose - can you pass on the non-main storyline to me?"

"this......"

11 cannot do that. It is just a branch of M and does not have M's ability to compress and transmit the plot to humans.

"Can't you do it?" Qian Yuanqiu also realized that this thing was unreliable.

He then proposed a second plan: "If you can help me monitor the protagonist's movements and give me real-time feedback, that would be fine. That way, it doesn't matter if I don't know the rest of the story. If you can't do that, I really can't think of a reason for you to stay."

"The stored plots are all presented in the form of data. I don't have the extra energy to convert them into memory and pass them on to you."

No. 11 said dejectedly.

"As for the second one, I can't do it either. After this unexpected awakening, my energy has returned from energy conservation to normal consumption. There is no way to replenish energy from my body in this world. I won't be able to maintain it for a few days before I decompose into data."

Qian Yuanqiu judged that it was not lying.

Although M concealed the existence of No. 11 from him, after all, they are a community of interests, and M will not do anything that is detrimental to his interests.

But it seems that this action of mine has yielded no results.

No. 11 felt a little flustered when he saw that Qian Yuanqiu still didn't respond.

This is the first mission it has carried out since it separated from the main body. If it messes up, what else can it say about replacing M in the future?

It is not useless.

No. 11's analyzer spun at high speed, looking for ways to help.

As the saying goes, there is always a way out when you reach the mountain, and it found this way out.

It asked: "Do you know Noah's Ark?"
