Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

Chapter 145 Disaster (Part )

The building that was in sight just a few seconds ago disappeared.

Under the blue sky, the rising smoke and dust indicated that the disaster was not over yet. After the onlookers came to their senses, more than one scream came from the crowd.

"what happened?!"

"What happened? Did the building collapse?!"

“Call the police quickly!!!”

"Oh my god, how many people will die..."

Hojo Tobika stared blankly. Her throat moved but no sound came out.

……what?

In the end what happened?

The players, who had never experienced any hardship or danger and had lived smoothly under the protection of their parents and with the help of game plug-ins, were unable to react for a while.

"Dad!! Mom!!!"

There were cries of pain around her, and she turned her head to see a man who had abandoned all his belongings and instinctively ran over there. He almost rushed directly onto the road, but fortunately he was stopped in time by the staff.

"Hojo!"

Hojo Toika heard the shouting and turned around.

She saw her new neighbor standing not far away, looking at her with a pale face: "Why are you still standing here? Go home quickly! Aren't your parents still at home?!"

Hojo Toika was stunned and subconsciously looked at the Ferris wheel with a hesitant expression.

She came here to save Matsuda. Now the Ferris wheel refused to stop running to check whether there was a bomb. What if it really exploded later? ...Will Matsuda die?

Seeing Hojo Touka's reaction, the neighbor became anxious and directly pulled her: "Hurry up! You can sit on this thing in the future!!"

Hojo Toika was pulled and her legs started moving on their own.

……

Beihu Shopping Plaza is less than 2 km from the apartment.

It wasn't far, and it would take about 20 minutes to walk there. Hojo Toika was dragged along, and for a moment she forgot that she could take a taxi, and just ran there.

As she ran, she called her parents and comforted herself.

Do not worry about it.

Her house is on the top floor, so her chance of survival is higher than those below!

And they are her parents, with the protection of being the player's relatives! They won't be killed accidentally like Shinji! !

Currently, only plot characters have the ability to break the halo!

Let's go back and check the situation first. The original book didn't mention what time the fax and Ferris wheel explosions occurred. After making sure they are okay, go to the Ferris wheel...

"Beep...beep..."

The phone was not connected.

In the seemingly endless echo, Hojo Toika returned home.

She was panting with exhaustion, but she forgot to breathe as she took in the sight before her.

Before her eyes, the apartment she had moved to because she was being stalked and which was said to be safer, became a complete ruin.

Police, emergency personnel and ambulances have arrived. Before they arrived, people who were staying nearby came first and helped pull out some people on the edge of the ruins.

Because the crane that can help lift heavy objects has not arrived yet, the rescuers can only save people with their bare hands or the most basic tools. The injured were sent to the ambulance, some of them were still able to speak, and some were unresponsive.

Hojo Tobiko was trembling all over when she saw so many dead and injured for the first time. The neighbor who pulled her over let go of her and threw herself in front of a stretcher and cried.

Not far behind Hojo Toika, two policemen with strange temperaments were questioning the security guard who was not seriously injured, and their words were particularly harsh and coercive. She ignored them and began to look around in the crowd, searching.

She walked past the temporary storage area for corpses, and when she passed a corpse, she suddenly stopped there.

The body was unrecognizable.

His clothes were torn and his body was charred and bloody. He looked completely unlike a human and his appearance could not be discerned.

The only thing that could be identified was that his chin looked strange, as if it had been severely deformed when he was alive, twisted to the side, and perhaps he couldn't even close his upper and lower jaws.

Hojo Toika collapsed to the ground instantly.

……

parents.

In reality, she has wealthy and doting parents;

But in the game, her father was so ugly that she didn't want to go out with him, her mother was always quarreling and complaining like a shrew, and her younger brother took up half of her room.

So she doesn't like them.

Even though her father would set up a personal website for her at a word, her mother knew her taste and cooked what she liked to eat, and her brother listened to her very much and remembered everyone's birthday and preferences, she just didn't like it.

She didn't like them - but that didn't mean she wouldn't get angry when she saw them getting hurt.

"What happened? Who did it?!"

Hojo Toika kept retracting her fingers that were grabbing the ground. She was so angry that she didn't hear the beeping sound from her mobile phone when she received a group chat message.

A policeman who was helping with the rescue next to her had placed a body next door. When he heard her words, he lowered his head in guilt.

"Sorry, this is a mistake by the police..."

Hojo Iris raised her head quickly: "What?!"

“That’s probably why.”

Another kind passerby who came to help squatted down and handed the cell phone to Hojo Toika.

The background of the video is a hospital. This is not a live broadcast, but a playback from more than ten minutes ago.

She saw the white dove.

He stood in the crowd with a pale face, his whole body trembling, as if the people surrounding him were not people, but a group of ferocious devils.

"This is just a prank bomb, a fake bomb! As a bomb disposal police, they didn't even notice it!! Is there any hope for the current Metropolitan Police Department?!"

The reporter nearby used the miserable condition of the white dove as the background for his filming and made sharp and sarcastic comments.

Fake bomb.

As an ally, Hojo Toika naturally knew what Hakubato's skill was. It was an active skill that could prevent the bomb from exploding and was very convenient for saving Hagiwara and Matsuda.

That was why she was so angry with Bai Jiu at that time - he traveled through time to make up for his regrets. He clearly had the ability to save her, but he chose to stand by and watch!!

Hojo Toika looked at Baijiu and frowned in confusion. Because it was a fake bomb, the skills against real bombs were naturally ineffective, but what did this have to do with the explosion here?

In the picture, Bai Jiu faced the people surrounding him from all sides, his wide-open eyes were filled with bloodshot, and his expression became more painful and hideous.

Finally, as if he was pushed to the limit, he let out a scream, pushed the people around him away, turned around and ran away. The people next to him couldn't stop him at all.

As he moved away, she saw the fake bomb.

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

Malicious words appeared on the display screen of the bomb casing, telling everyone clearly who was the culprit that caused another disaster.

——It was he who blew up her house and killed her parents!

After finding the culprit, Hojo Tobiko stood up, her chest heaving with intense anger.

Just then, she heard the sound of her cell phone again.

[Jealousy: Yuan Xiang, help me... I'm in big trouble, only you can save me...]

The detailed outline is not done well, and there are too many parallel story lines. I expect these chapters to be stuck_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 146 Disaster (Part )

"Buzz..."

"Buzzing..."

Bai Jiu threw away the vibrating phone and ran out of the hospital without looking back.

He ran as fast as he could, running like a madman all the way down the street. He didn't even have time to look at the people who were knocked to the ground, he just kept running forward.

However, no matter how fast he ran, the angry and accusing voices were still chasing him like a flood, pouring into his brain continuously. Every word was like a knife stabbing into his head.

It's not my fault!

Baijiu shouted in his heart.

This is not my fault at all!!!

He shook off all the people chasing him and ran to a park. There were many cars parked on the roadside. The key of one of the cars was forgotten on the door. He rushed over, opened the door and got in.

Bai Jiu's face was covered in sweat, and his hands were shaking as he gripped the steering wheel, but in the face of a greater fear, his fear of the car was insignificant. He only wanted to escape in this faster way and run farther.

While recalling the driving skills he had learned in the past, he used the system ring to open a temporary group chat, stretched out his still trembling fingers, and sent a message to Hojo Toika.

[Jealousy: Yuan Xiang, help me... I'm in big trouble, only you can save me...]

He uttered a humble plea.

Only she can save herself.

Only she who has the ability to modify the will of others can save herself who is completely dead on the social level this time!

【Arrogant: I'll come find you right now. 】

Her reply came quickly, and her words were unusually simple. Bai Jiu didn't think too much about it, but just breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the group chats of his teammates and the red team were also flashing.

There were two people in the red camp, and he didn't say anything. It was another player [Greed] who sent the message inside.
