Transmigrated into Conan, his ability is Rhodes Island

"Host, think twice! Your current actions are tantamount to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!! If you get rid of Gin, forget about what will happen to your early points; the whole story might not even begin, and there won't be any main characters. What will happen to your points then?!

The system's urgent dissuasion suddenly rose in pitch, because at that moment Akihara moved. Facing Gin's gun barrel, the tip of the dugong arrow in his hand, which was originally just a decoration, cut through the air and, propelled by an invisible force, shot straight toward Gin.

At the same time, Gin pulled the trigger. However, at that moment, the bullet posed almost no threat to Akihara; it was more like a child's toy. But out of respect for his opponent, he symbolically shifted his body slightly.

The woman in red finished her potato chips and, through Akihara's eyes, took one last look at the land and sea bathed in the light of the twin moons.

"...Time has come. I hope we can meet again at the end of time, Doctor." Skadi's voice was filled with resentment and longing as she whispered.

Beretta's bullet whizzed past Akihara's ear, taking a few strands of his silver hair that had been ruffled by the sea breeze. In that instant, the moonlight dimmed, the two moons in the sky became one again, and on the earth under her gaze, the deep red in Akihara's eyes faded, and his hair returned to its original black color.

The indifference of looking down on everything gradually faded, and human self-awareness and emotions regained the upper hand.

The shock momentarily stunned Akihara. When he regained his senses, he saw a crimson stain on Gin's eye. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a long, thin wound, from which a few tiny drops of blood slowly seeped and slid down, leaving a bloody line on his cheek.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Akihara's face also stiffened a bit. He slowly lowered the corners of his mouth and raised his hands.

"Brother, I was actually affected by those monsters and accidentally went insane... Do you believe me?"

Gin didn't continue firing; he expressionlessly wiped the blood flowing from his wound with his fingertip.

“I…I was actually affected as soon as I arrived at this beach, it was like another consciousness took over my body…I believe you all feel the same way, Sherry!”

Shiho Miyano coldly replied, "I didn't."

"That...that vodka!"

Vodka was suddenly called upon and, somewhat bewildered, subconsciously replied, "Huh? What did you say... Oh, now that you mention it, I do remember. At first, I did feel my consciousness gradually fading. But I shot myself, and that effect disappeared."

"Gin, look!" Akihara's tone suddenly brightened as he finally found an ordinary person with low willpower.

"Bang—" The second bullet arrived late. Akihara dodged rather awkwardly this time. Without the support of an operator's ability, and with Gin's mood curve sloping upwards from the beginning, it was difficult to judge when to fire.

"If you have anything else to say, wait until you're lying on the dissection table in the tissue lab and then tell the staff."

……

Sunlight streamed onto the spacious deck as the ferry that had carried Gin and his party on their way here glided slowly across the calm sea. Under a cloudless, clear sky, a gentle sea breeze caressed the shore, and seabirds called to each other as they headed to the dock for some fries. The fresh air carried only the salty scent of the sea, devoid of the stench of decaying organic matter or the fishy odor.

Akihara, dressed in a blue shirt, stood alone at the stern of the ship, his hands in his pockets and wearing a pair of trendy sunglasses. Through the sunglasses, he gazed at the American island receding into the distance. Beneath the sunglasses, heavy dark circles surrounded his eyes.

He's practically eating sane pills like they're food!

He chewed the candy in his mouth angrily, making a crunching sound. The fatigue on his face vanished under the influence of the stimulant.

At that moment, Shiho Miyano stood beside him. She turned her head to look at Akihara's profile, her gaze exceptionally complex.

"So, you're really here on vacation?"

Akihara yawned, made a reaching gesture in the air, and when he opened his palm, there was an arrow in his hand, which he threw directly to Shiho Miyano.

"Here, you guys are on a mission and won't have time to attend the festival. This is for you, take good care of it, this arrow sells for a lot of money outside."

He switched to a tone meant to scare children, and made a sinister face at Shiho Miyano.

"Legend has it that this arrow is a demon-slaying arrow. If it leaves your side, demons will build their nests, men will return to dust and become heartless monsters, and women will return to the water and become speechless mermaids. So never let it leave your side!"

Moreover, it was an arrow that had been sacrificed with Gin's blood, making it an even more ominous object. Akihara silently added to himself.

"And what about you? Aren't you afraid of returning to dust and becoming some kind of... demon?" Shiho Miyano didn't answer, but instead frowned and began to look for loopholes in Akihara's words.

Qiu Yuan shoved the arrow into her hand, saying nonchalantly, "I'm a materialist warrior, I don't believe in this."

Vodka looked over from the bow of the deck and muttered in confusion, "When did Sherry and Su Dai become so close?"

Gin snorted coldly. "Ignore them. Once that gentleman takes a liking to her, Su Dai won't have many days left. It's no big deal to let the researchers meet her experimental subject beforehand."

The waves gently lapped against the hull, creating a soft murmur. The morning was peaceful and serene; people gathered in small groups on the deck, some chatting quietly, others admiring the sea view. Akihara saw Miyano Shiho off and continued to enjoy his true vacation.

That's right, the harmonious atmosphere we have now is all thanks to Gin. Last night, as a main character, his emotional value soared, helping Akihara accumulate enough points in a short time. This allowed him to exchange for Amiya's skills again and weave memories for the three of them—in a sense, these points were taken from the people and used for the people.

In their current understanding, as their investigation deepened last night, they discovered that the so-called mermaid legend was spread by an organization on the island practicing evil god worship. They had engaged in a fierce firefight with these brainwashed individuals, causing some casualties, and the bodies had been disposed of. Su Dai was indeed a tourist on the island and hadn't shown his face at all during the entire mission. They didn't meet again until the next day, when they boarded the ship to return.

"Ah, Dr. Akihara!" Someone suddenly called out to him. Akihara turned around and saw it was the police officer who had helped him out of that predicament at the shrine earlier. He smiled at Akihara and said, "What a coincidence, we meet again. Are you planning to leave so soon? Aren't you going to spend a day or two on the island?"

If you play for another day or two, you'll find that the number of missing persons has doubled... By then, I won't be able to leave even if I want to.

Akihara thought to himself, but a helpless smile appeared on his face. "I'd like to too, but UDI is short-staffed. They've been working like crazy these past two days while I've been on vacation."

"I see. It seems that every job is equally tough," the officer sighed. "Thanks to your tip yesterday, we were able to identify the deceased by following the serial number clue. He was a fisherman from the island named Guang Teng. He bought this watch not long ago... I don't know where he got the money to buy such an expensive watch."

Seeing the officer's eagerness to express himself, Akihara feigned curiosity. "Did you find anything else?"

The officer looked around to make sure no one was nearby before lowering his voice to say to Akihara, "This is an ongoing investigation, and we can't disclose the details to outsiders. However, you've provided tremendous help to our investigation. You might even come up with something new after hearing this. But I'm telling you, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone!"

Akihara nodded to indicate that he understood.

“A few weeks ago, someone reported that Hikaru and his son were missing. Later, he called the police station himself, saying that he had gone to do business with friends and left in a hurry, which caused the misunderstanding. Now, he’s dead just a few days later… The police are trying to track down the friend he mentioned, what was his name… oh right, it was ‘Takenaka Koichi’. And now the police strongly suspect that the other people who were reported missing before may also have been murdered.”

Akihara made a shocked expression.

The officer's phone suddenly rang. As he took out his phone, he turned to Akihara and said, "If you remember any clues or possibilities, call us!" Then he went to the other side of the deck to answer the phone.

Akihara took a deep breath and relaxed, resting his arms on the railing once more. The island grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared from his sight, leaving only the vast blue ocean and the boundless sky.

How long can this situation last? The problem of marine proliferators is not completely solved; they will inevitably return one day. Perhaps ten years, or even longer…

Well, since we still have some time before reaching the main island, let's go back to our cabins and rest for a while.

Thinking this, Akihara pressed the little boy, who had been peeking out of his pocket, back into his pocket.
