Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

——But he knew that this was just a big lie.

Qingliu Binguang looked at the face so close and smiled. He leaned over and gently pressed his forehead against it.

Through the blurry and familiar face, he saw the sun rising outside, the sunlight piercing the night and shining on him.

Dawn is approaching.

Chapter 169 Remarks on the launch

Coming to the shelves.

It was my own request to write more than 160 chapters before putting it on the shelves. Anyway, I have already jumped on this book (I only recommended it once), so I don’t care whether it makes money or not, I just follow my own heart.

Updates will continue as usual, work hard, try to update once a day.

If there is no update by 12:30 pm, don’t wait, because I have already gone to bed. In the past few times, I stayed up until 2 or 3 pm and the next day I was in a daze... I didn’t want to damage my body.

I never had perfect attendance in the previous book, and the same goes for this one. As of the time I posted this chapter, I haven’t even saved it.

The third volume is not long. It mainly covers Akai’s exposure, Rabbit + Greed’s experience before time travel, the protagonist’s experience before entering the organization and starting the game, and the alliance between red and black players. There are many memories.

There will be alliances and cooperation. This article is not all about PVP between players. It was mentioned at the end of the first volume that there will be cooperation.

PS: Starting from the third volume, it will not be the perspective of the protagonist for the time being, but will be written from the rabbit’s side.

Chapter 170 Grain Whiskey

grunt.

Gumbling.

He kept sinking in the icy water.

The feeling of not being able to breathe is despairing, and the whole world is dark. He struggled desperately and tried to reach up, but his body was entangled with something and he couldn't move at all.

At the same time, someone's voice sounded next to him.

"【】ah!"

One of the words was blurred.

"If you feel like it, just [ ] come down! We are all waiting to see!!"

"[]![]![]!"

"Don't you dare! Hahahaha——"

More voices sounded, laughing. Even the slightest movement will become deafening after being stacked up countless times.

He suddenly felt a greater pain.

Then he woke up with a start.

There was no water around him, and there were no shouts in his ears. There was only a natural straw nest and a translucent pop-up window.

A line of words was displayed coldly on the pop-up window——

[It has been detected that your willpower is 11. Do you want to exit the game? 】

……

Tokyo, Miwa Town.

In a seemingly ordinary room, a young girl with short curly brown hair paused after taking off her white coat and turned to look at the pet nest beside the table.

Hearing the noise coming from inside, she quickly went over and took out the animal huddled inside, held it in her arms and stroked its back.

Just then, the office door opened automatically and a black-haired young man walked in.

"What's wrong?" He noticed her behavior.

"It seems to be having a nightmare again. I heard it scream just now... Rabbits only do this when they are in extreme pain..."

The girl - Shiho Miyano, whose organization code is Shirley, is holding the pet rabbit that she and her colleagues have raised for nearly a year.

She touched the rabbit's back again until its body stopped shaking, then put it back into the nest and squatted beside it to look at it worriedly.

She didn't see that the young man behind her frowned and reached out to touch the necklace around his neck. A pop-up window similar to a game system appeared in front of her eyes. He moved his fingers slightly to type out a sentence.

[Greedy: How do you feel now? 】

The rabbit huddled in the grass nest, with a silver ring on its furry paws, and its paws moved slightly.

[Lust: It’s okay. 】

[Lust: I just had a nightmare...]

……

The rabbit lay in the nest bought for him by Miyano Shiho, thinking about what happened this year.

A year has passed since he left Qingliu Binguang.

That day he left the forest and walked towards Yokohama Chinatown, which the students had talked about. Unable to return to his hometown, he could only look for Chinatown to see if he could meet any reliable compatriots.

After a series of "hitchhiking" he finally reaches his destination, and then he meets Glenn.

She is another red player with the ID [Greedy]. Her in-game identity is a member of the Black Organization, codenamed Grain Whiskey.

Although she is a member of the organization, she is on the red side. In addition, people who know Conan know that her alcohol content does not meet the drunk driving standard. This is a whiskey code, so he quickly realized that she is an undercover.

Shuichi Akai and Rena Mizunashi belong to the United States. The British MI6 appeared in the movie, and with her included - congratulations to the organization, they have already provoked three of the five good people.

Rabbit did not change sides, he was still the black player. After leaving that day, he blocked his teammates so that they could not find him through the positioning function in the group chat, and formed a temporary group chat with Glenn.

But the two of them were not aligned.

Players from different camps can form an alliance, but it is very troublesome for red and black players with opposite positions to form an alliance. They need to make an oath with a red line (representing must) or a black line (representing no), and both parties must abide by it. The souls of those who violate it will lose their freedom forever.

Glenn didn't make a vow with him and never mentioned it at all, and Rabbit could tell that she was wary of him.

It's been a year since they met, and he still doesn't know her skills or what her real name is.

He didn't understand why she had to wear long black clothes like Gin in the summer, and he didn't understand why she had to appear in front of the organization as a man - it's not like the organization prohibited women from joining.

Considering the special nature of her undercover status and her experience of being tricked by Arrogance, he understood her vigilance and didn't ask any more questions.

Rabbit originally wanted to tell Glenn the news about Aoyagi Binguang, but he found that he could not provide anything.

After living together for two months, he still knew nothing about him.

What is Aoyagi Binguang's real name? What is the game mission? What's his wine codename? How long have you been a member of the organization? What have you done since joining? where are you now? What do you plan to do in the future?

He didn't know any of this important information.

He could only escape from one police undercover agent being exposed, another undercover agent Bourbon "accidentally died" in Moscow (Glenn said he returned to the police), and arrogance and jealousy left the game one after another. He judged that Aoyagi Binguang was cruel and evil and was not easy to deal with. people.

He didn't offer anything, Glenn didn't force it, and he didn't let him go back and deal with his teammates. After discovering that he lacked willpower but didn't want to quit the game, she brought him to Shirley in the hope that he would cheer up.

This happened for nearly a year, and they usually raised him together. After Miyano Shiho got off work, Glenn would take him home and feed him normal human food. He would not leave him in the laboratory or go back with Shirley.

Miyano Shiho made sure that the rabbit was no longer shivering. He stood up and said to Glenn: "Can you please send me to the Rice Krispies Department Store? My sister and I have made an appointment to meet there."

She paused, then tentatively added: "We want to have lunch together today, maybe come back later...is that okay?"

Glenn did not nod immediately and looked at the rabbit and the pop-up window again.

[Lust: I'm fine, you can go out and play. 】

Glenn looked away and said to Miyano Shiho: "Of course. Let's go."

Miyano Shiho went to get his coat, and Glenn took out a bag of bread from his pocket, tore open the package and put it in the innermost part of the rabbit hutch.

"I don't know what time I will be back. If you are hungry, just eat some bread to fill your stomach first." Glenn reminded in a low voice.

Rabbit nodded and watched her get up as if nothing had happened and leave with Miyano Shiho who put on his coat.

The office door opened and quickly closed.

The rabbit is safe here. Only a few people have permission to open this door, and Glenn told everyone else on the first day he gave him to Shirley that he was a "pet" and could not be used as an experimental instrument.

Organizational researchers often conduct drug experiments on animals such as mice and common rabbits, and sometimes conduct human trials.

The rabbit had been kept in Miyano Shiho's office and had not been exposed to the darkness, and Glenn had never told him.

She tried to find him, but didn't dare ask too much for fear of raising suspicion. There has been no progress.

The rabbit huddled himself in a safe and small nest, and couldn't help but think of the nightmare in his mind.

After dying from drowning once, he had been having that dream for a year. In addition to water, there was also inaudible and extremely uncomfortable laughter in the dream.

But he couldn't remember when he'd heard those sounds.

[It has been detected that your willpower is 11. Do you want to exit the game? 】

The system pop-up window pops up again. After the player's willpower drops below 20, the system will pop up asking questions like this from time to time.

Rabbit ignored it, closed it and opened another panel.

After he left a year ago, his game mission was finally generated.

[Mission: usurp the throne. 】

[Details: Renye Karasuma is old, and the current organization is like a pool of stagnant water in the dark. As a young rookie, why should he be below him? Please work hard yourself or help others ascend to the BOSS position to re-energize the organization. 】

This is Black's mission.

Chapter 171: Risk evaluation issues and promotion speed

It's a sunny afternoon.

There were no dark clouds in the sky and it was not raining. In such good weather, four members of the organization gathered in an ordinary coffee shop in Miwa Town.

Two young women sat by the window, with coffee and signature cakes on the table. They were chatting happily, like a pair of ordinary sisters that can be seen everywhere.

At another table not far from them, the atmosphere was not so relaxed.

The two male guests were almost silent. The waiter came over with soda water and black coffee. His suspicious eyes turned on one of the men with long hair wearing a knitted hat. He placed the two drinks and left immediately.

Miyano Akemi put down her cup and smiled helplessly when she saw her boyfriend Morohoshi's profile. Then she looked at the young man sitting opposite her boyfriend.
