Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

----

Beido University Hospital.

Facts have proven that in the face of a disaster - whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster - even the most well-mannered people will fall into panic.

The scene was in extreme chaos. Patients, injured people and their families were in a mess and rushed to the nurses to ask to be transferred. The medical staff, who were also afraid of bombs, tried to comfort them.

Only the reporters were excited. The leader seemed to have completely forgotten about his own life and death. He filmed the scene and broadcast it live across the country.

[Hospitals and apartments, where will the fireworks bloom? ]

[3 seconds before the bomb explodes, I will tell you the location of the apartment where the bomb is placed. I hope you will make a perfect choice...]

Bloody words flashed repeatedly on the black LCD screen, and the masked police kept muttering things like "what to do" and "scumbag". Katsutoshi Teraoka was so anxious that he was sweating, and he also tried to stop the reporters who wanted to get closer;

Bai Jiu, who was pulled in to defuse the bomb and whose face was captured by the camera, stood in front of the bomb in a daze, his whole body motionless as if he had been poured with cement.

Many people were looking at him with various expressions; but he just looked at his own hands and the countdown on the bomb that never stopped.

He used his skills, but the countdown did not stop.

——He must choose whether to defuse the bomb.

Baijiu's mind went blank.

……

Choose one of two options, the well-known trolley problem.

However, the difficulty of this question has increased and become even worse. It is not "one person VS many people, which side to give up", but "many people VS many people, which side to choose to die".

——No matter which side you choose, you will be criticized by everyone.

Because of extreme fear, Baijiu's whole face was distorted, and his fingers and facial muscles were constantly twitching.

Why is this happening?

Why did this happen to me?

This should have, should have belonged to...

Baijiu didn't understand.

He wanted to step back, turn around and run away, but the camera and the voices that came flooding in blocked him in place, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

[Save me, save me, save me…]

[Tear it down quickly! Do you want us to die? ! ]

[Save me…save me…I don’t want to die…]

Many people present were injured in the three accidents that occurred that morning.

After coming to the hospital due to a serious accident and having just received treatment, they thought everything was fine, but suddenly they discovered that there was an even worse crisis waiting for them in the hospital. Many people's mentality completely collapsed.

These nearly collapsed thoughts all poured into the mind of the player who possessed the mind-reading skill, dragging him gradually into madness.

Baijiu felt his group chat flickering, but he didn't care. He raised the wire cutting tool for bomb disposal and extended the cutting edge to the wire.

The person next to him seemed to be talking to him in an urgent voice, but he could hear nothing.

In fact, he didn't know what he was doing at the moment. It seemed as if his body was being controlled by someone else, and his consciousness was separated from his body and floating aside.

The scissors slowly opened, Bai Jiu stared at the sharp tool, and suddenly thought of many people.

Hagiwara.

Kenji Hagiwara, the man who once extended a helping hand to me, he is enthusiastic and kind, considerate of others, and quite popular... What is his reaction when facing the restarted bomb?

China.

What was she thinking as she died, as she was tortured by the organization? ... Did she regret carrying out the bait plan? Did she hate herself for not being able to save her?

Iris.

Is she at the Ferris wheel now, busy saving other men?

Matsuda.

If it were him, if it was the person who was supposed to die today, the person who in the original book could easily give up his life for others...what would he do in the face of the current situation?

——Finally, it was himself.

He doesn't want to die.

He really doesn't want to die.

He was afraid of death, and he knew how painful it was. He was just a policeman who changed his career and was forced to take this path by the system. He had no courage to sacrifice for others.

In order to keep himself alive, he had no choice but to let others die... And he was not the only one here, there were so many injured and sick people, he was doing this not only for himself, but also for them! ... No one would blame him!

"Click."

The cord cutting tool cuts the cord.

倒计时停止。

Cold sweat slid from his forehead to the bridge of his nose, and finally dripped onto the ground. Only then did Bai Jiu realize that he was shaking all over.

Cheers rang out from behind, and many people collapsed to the ground and cried. The masked police officer next to him first breathed a sigh of relief, then said: "But another bomb..."

His words stopped abruptly.

They looked at the bomb and saw the words on the black LCD screen change as the line was cut off -

【You have been deceived.】

[This is just a prank. I haven't gone so far as to plant a bomb in a hospital.]

【Congratulations, because you have successfully activated another bomb (laughs).】

Chapter 143: Extreme Fake Death Plan (Part )

Zhu Fu Jingguang had no idea what had happened in the other hospital for the time being, so he and Aniseite rushed to the Beihu Central Building as quickly as possible.

This was an office building that had been ordered to be demolished in the near future due to failing quality inspections. Most of the companies had already moved out, and there was only a security guard leaning against the door yawning on the first floor. The two men disguised themselves and quickly got in.

Choosing a tall building as a sniper point does not mean that you have to attack from the top floor, which is too obvious. Based on the route positioning of the transmitter and basic prediction, they finally arrived at the 14th floor.

Japan is a country prone to earthquakes and is not suitable for building too many high-rise buildings. Apart from the Beido Central Building, there is only the hotel where Calvados went half a kilometer away, and the view is quite clear.

"I and Scotland are in place."

Anisette tucked the hair behind her ear and pressed the communication headset again.

"I have also arrived at Beihu International Hotel." Calvados reported immediately.

"Be prepared, the target vehicle will pass through in 10 minutes."

Zhu Fujingguang stood in front of the window of the men's restroom. He heard Gin's voice in the headphones, bent down, opened the gun box, and began to quickly assemble his most commonly used sniper rifle.

His expression was calm, as if it was just an ordinary mission, but he didn't dare to relax at all.

The fake death plan had already begun. As an undercover agent, he couldn't always contact the police to confirm the situation. He had to make flexible adjustments at any time according to the situation.

Gin rarely makes mistakes in judgment, so next, the car carrying Congressman Kawajiri will cross the road below.

Kazami should have been prepared. The accident at the hospital next door will not affect their trip. The biggest change is the people in the organization...

Zhu Fu Jingguang raised his eyes and glanced at Aniseite beside him vaguely.

She didn't lean against the window, but left him the best position, holding a telescope in her hand.

This professional telescope can not only be used for observation, but also has an anemometer and laser rangefinder function. It is a common equipment for snipers when attacking from a distance. Judging from her skillful posture, it is definitely not the first time she has used it - she even turned off her headphones to prevent the sound from affecting her concentration.

Zhu Fu Jingguang withdrew his sight, installed the sight, and the entire gun was assembled.

He stood up again, looked at Anisette again, reached out to temporarily turn off the headphones, and asked hesitantly: "Do you want to be an observer?"

"Don't you need it?" Anisette asked back.

"...No need." Zhu Fu Jingguang answered truthfully. He paused for a moment and added: "When we usually operate, we rarely have observers."

Most of the time, two snipers acted together and shot at the same time, such as Cohen and Chianti, or Calvados and him.

Lei is an exception. He and Zero had partnered with him once last year. His sniping distance and accuracy were quite terrifying, and almost no one in the organization could match him. Zero was very afraid of him for this.

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at Aniseite with some suspicion. Could it be that the organization's operation mode is different in different countries, and Aniseite doesn't know? Or...

"When the distance is over 1000 yards, they will be equipped with it," Anicet said, "such as gin."

When he heard Anicet mention Gin, Morobushi Kagemitsu felt even more surprised.

Observers are very special. They are partners with snipers and need to do more during missions - observe, be alert, report data, give opinions... When necessary, they will use themselves as bait to divert enemy fire to ensure the completion of the mission.

Generally speaking, the abilities of a sniper and an observer are equal. If a sniper fails and loses the ability to shoot again, the observer must take over and complete the task.

Zhu Fushiguri Jingguang had no doubt that Gin's distance was more than 1000 yards. What he was wondering was - why would such a strict Gin let Anicet, whose sniping ability was not as good as his, be his observer?

On the way here, Aniseite told him that she could only accurately kill targets within 200 meters...

Aniseite seemed to see what Zhu Fujingguang was thinking, and she slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

“They don’t have to be equal, they can just be complementary.”

She said it lightly.

"I rarely put him in such dangerous situations, and as long as he finds the right target, he has never failed."

……

An inconspicuous car was speeding on the road.

This road is very remote and there are basically no other cars on the road except for those parked on the side of the road.

This is a route specially selected by the police. They know they might be attacked and dare not go to places with heavy traffic or many pedestrians.

There were four people in the car. Yuya Kazami was driving, and three people were sitting in the back seat. To prevent Congressman Kawajiri from suddenly opening the door and running away, he was placed in the middle, and the other two public security officers sat on his left and right respectively.

The congressman himself had not yet woken up, and the hood containing the blood bag was put on his head.

All three public security officers were on high alert, especially Yuya Kazami who was driving.

When he saw two tall buildings appear in front of him, he raised the alert level to the highest level.
