Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Shiho Miyano was filled with doubt.

Madeira?

What does this have to do with Madeira? What do you mean he had everything planned long ago?

Shiho Miyano recalled every moment she spent with Qi Ming.

But as if by some strange twist of fate, her memory suddenly shifted and stopped at a conversation she had with her sister.

I think Madeira is using mind control on me...

This was what she said to her sister shortly after she first met Qi Ming.

At the time, she just took it as a rant, but now, the more she thinks back on it and combines it with the conversation between the two members, the words "mind control" keep lingering in Shiho Miyano's mind.

Shiho Miyano's clever little mind kept exploring these four words, and soon she came to the same conclusion as Gin...

Madeira was only nice to him so that he could have a false sense of security within the organization.

She was kind to her so that she could continue working for the organization after her sister's death.

Everything he did was for the benefit of the organization.

Thinking of this, Shiho Miyano felt her eyes sting and a slight pain in her heart.

She desperately wanted to deny it, but the facts were undeniable, leaving no room for self-hypnosis.

"Why are you treating us like this? What did we do wrong...?"

"Madera, I once thought we were friends..."

Shiho Miyano muttered to herself.

Ultimately, her belief that he is a good person is just wishful thinking on her part.

Now that I think about Gin's attitude toward Madeira, how could someone who is valued and trusted by Gin so much be an ordinary person?

Perhaps I never truly understood that person.

I've never seen through it.

Shiho Miyano pulled a capsule from her pocket, two tears streaming down her pale cheeks.

For her now, living might be the only form of death.

"Sister, I've come to see you."

"Madera, even though all of this may be fake, thank you for letting me feel that brief but genuine happiness in the end."

Shiho Miyano then swallowed the capsule.

……

In a villa in Beika Town, Qi Ming sat on the living room sofa, his expression slightly resentful.

"System, translate for me what 'intimacy level decreases' means."

A decrease in intimacy simply means a decrease in intimacy.

"I'm asking you to translate this for me, what the hell does 'fuck your intimacy level' mean?!"

After blasting his own corpse to smithereens, Qi Ming happily returned home.

Qi Ming, who had completed Miyano Akemi's mission and received a decent reward, was about to play a few rounds of Little Tyrant, but the system's sudden feedback immediately dampened his enthusiasm.

[Detection indicates a decrease in Shiho Miyano's intimacy level with Sherry]

[Detection indicates a decrease in Shiho Miyano's intimacy level with Sherry]

Upon hearing this prompt, I immediately opened the character encyclopedia, and then...

I watched helplessly as Shiho Miyano's intimacy level plummeted from 8 stars of affection to the current 3 stars of estrangement!

Ward Law?

Why is the intimacy level decreasing even though he didn't do anything?

Qi Ming was deeply puzzled.

What happened? Did I fail this side quest?

But that doesn't make sense, since we've already received the reward!

Just as Qi Ming was thinking about cursing the garbage bugs in this garbage game, his phone suddenly rang.

"crooked?"

"Assemble at Base 1, Sherry has escaped."

"Oh... Ah? Old Qin, what did you say? Sherry ran away?"

"Stop talking nonsense and come here."

Qi Ming hung up the phone, his lips twitching slightly.

This ending is not what he expected!

Although Shiho Miyano did escape the suicide death line in the first ending, it seems she didn't end up staying in the organization line in the second ending either.

This garbage game actually lets you hide things?

It even triggered ending three, the escape route for Shiho Miyano?

"Is it because I didn't reach the required intimacy level for the second ending, or is there some condition I didn't meet?"

Qi Ming felt a bit numb, then put on his equipment and teleported back to the base.

He still came out of the women's restroom, but he never ran into that brown-haired girl again.

Qi Ming arrived at the solitary confinement room that Gin had arranged, and saw that he and Vodka were investigating inside. He quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Old Qin, what happened? How did Shirley get away?"

Vodka glanced at Gin for instructions, and seeing the latter nod, Vodka then told Qi Ming about their previous handling of Shiho Miyano.

"Shirley was locked up here, handcuffed. The bars were intact, and the door showed no signs of being opened. But soon after, the guards came to report that Shirley was missing."

In short, it's a case of a disappearance in a locked room!

Qi Ming squinted, "What secret room? What case? What document?"

What, you guys are playing puzzle games now?

Qi Ming wasn't at the base when Sherry disappeared, so he couldn't use the game replay function, and even he couldn't find out where Sherry went.

"Dude, are you guys crazy? Such a big room and you don't even have a security camera? Are you guys insane?"

"Where are those two guards? Tell them to get over here right now. I refuse to believe that such a big person can just vanish into thin air. What are those two doing with their eyes?"

"I've done so much for her (referring to building intimacy with her), and now she's run away, are you going to compensate me?"

Qi Ming rubbed his head, his words filled with impatience, clearly quite agitated.

This feeling is similar to playing Danganronpa 2, where you've just fallen for a girl and are finally about to max out her intimacy level to get the achievement reward.

In the next scene, that girl died!

Although Shiho Miyano didn't die here, she just escaped.

But following the normal game progression, Qi Ming felt that he would likely never see her again.

"Madera, exercise restraint."

Seeing Qi Ming's posture, Gin slightly loosened his grip on the pistol trigger in his coat pocket.

He did trust Qi Ming, but not blindly.

Before Shirley ran away, she only had one private conversation with Qi Ming and went out with him alone.

Now that Shirley has run away, it means there must be a mole inside!

And the only person one could suspect seemed to be Qi Ming.

However, judging from Qi Ming's expression, it was clear that Gin also had doubts about Sherry's escape.

Furthermore, after hearing that Qi Ming's actions (referring to mind control) had been in vain, Gin quickly let go of his already limited suspicions about Qi Ming.

"Gin, Gin, Vodka, we're here."

Not long after, the member who had been guarding Sherry walked over, trembling.

Before Gin could speak, Qi Ming stepped forward and grabbed the member by the collar.

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. Tell me honestly everything that happened during your detention!"

The members nodded in alarm and recounted everything that had happened during that time.

Another member invited him to go for a smoke.

This also included another member telling him that Madeira had already arranged everything.

After listening to his story, Qi Ming felt an itch to learn, as if his brain was about to grow.

What? What did you assign me? I haven't done anything!

Or did I miss some hidden plot point again?

Unlike Qi Ming, who was completely bewildered, Gin understood instantly.

It was because of the words of this person and that person that Qi Ming's attempt to control Shiho Miyano's mind was exposed!

Although she didn't say much, Gin knew how sharp Sherry's mind was, and considering her previous interactions with Qi Ming, she was sure she could figure this out.

Gin's eyes instantly darkened, and before Qi Ming could ask what arrangements he had made, he snapped out of his pistol.

boom!

The gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole appeared on the member's forehead in an instant.

Qi Ming turned around abruptly, looking at Gin with a puzzled expression.

What are you doing?!

I hadn't even gotten any information from this NPC yet, and you idiot just killed him for me? What the hell?
