Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

The plot started on November 3, 11 years ago.

This day is the death anniversary of Matsuda Jinpei. One month later, Zhufu Jingguang committed suicide because his identity was exposed.

Now those plots have changed.

The Aideto Ferris Wheel did not explode. What was bombed was a well-known shrine, some ordinary buildings in Tokyo, and a high-rise apartment building;

Matsuda Zhenping was not dead, and Zhu Fujingguang was exposed in advance;

In addition, one of the players [Jealousy] quit the game early due to lack of willpower.

When this teammate exited, Gushe was walking on a certain street in the port area.

Because of Gin's suspicion, Gushe left the prison early and was unable to participate in the mission involving the congressman today. He only had to see Rum once in the evening.

Facing the system notification that the player has logged out, she felt helpless. After she realized something was wrong, she specifically lifted the blacklist and sent a reminder to Baijiu, but it was still a step too late.

Gushe did not close the system interface and took out her two mobile phones one after another.

[Return to Tokyo as soon as possible, the organization will take action in Cupo in the near future. ]——She sent this to Akai a few days ago.

[Where did you get the information? 】——This was sent to her by Akai half an hour ago.

[Scotch Whiskey was an undercover agent of the Japanese police and has been rescued by the Metropolitan Police! If you see him from now on, kill him! 】

——This was sent by Rum on another mobile phone 2 minutes ago, with photos attached.

It seems that Zhu Fu Jingguang was successfully rescued by his colleagues. Whether he can survive in the future depends entirely on his own ability...

Gushe kept this pursuit email, deleted the other two emails related to the FBI, then opened the active skill list and discarded the identity of the contact person.

After throwing away the things, she paused - the eagle that flew ahead of time presented a house in front of her through visual sharing.

This is a common two-story, one-family building. Perhaps the owner was too hasty when he entered, and the iron door at the entrance was not closed. The lawn in the courtyard has not been taken care of for a long time, and there is a dog house among the messy weeds.

This was the address where the Hojo family lived before they moved.

The temporary group chat location function showed that the passerby player [Arrogance], who had cheated her once, was staying inside.

Gushe didn't know why Tojo Hojo returned here after the explosion in her apartment. She smelled something unusual, but still chose to take the risk.

Because she has something important to do, she must rely on Tojo Hojo for "help".

The eagle flew downwards, and the sheath saw more details. She found something lying outside the sliding window connecting the courtyard.

The thing was elongated and slender, showing a bright emerald green color. It was coiled outside the window, motionless.

It's a snake.

——Snake again.

Gushe's expression turned serious.

The first time was outside the congressman's cell, and the second time was outside a player's window. Gussheath was almost certain that this was another player's animal messenger.

Faced with this unknown danger, she did not turn around and leave. She just raised her hand to touch the system ring on the necklace, activating the special permissions given to her by the system.

As a special player, Cornsheath currently has two special permissions. The first is [no limit on the number of queries], and the second is [influencing other players’ animal messengers].

The impact time is approximately 15 minutes.

enough.

……

Gushe returned to his original appearance.

After the bone-melting burning sensation faded from her body, she put on gloves and opened the door, hearing the sound of the television.

She entered quietly, and when she arrived in the living room, she realized that the sound was not from a TV show, but a cruel interrogation video.

The protagonist of one of the videos is Zhu Fu Jingguang, he is the interrogator, and the middle-aged woman he interrogated...

Tanshe looked at the sobbing Tojo Hojo, looked at the familiar hairstyle and the face that was slightly similar to the woman in the video, and understood the identity of the other person.

"Woo... Wu..."

Hojo Toyoka collapsed on the ground and cried softly. She was completely immersed in sadness and did not notice the arrival of Gushe.

Just as Gushe was about to go in, he found a mobile phone dropped beside him and bent down to pick it up.

There is no password or fingerprint lock set on the phone. With a light touch, the screen automatically lights up and displays an email.

——[Go back to the port area once, I'm waiting for you in the original house. 】

Before Gu Sheo could take a closer look at who the sender was, the phone suddenly buzzed and vibrated several times, as if someone in the chat room had sent a message.

This movement not only startled Gushe, but also caused Hojo Tooka to hear the sound and look back.

There were tears in the eyes of this player whose ID was Arrogant. When she saw the sheath, she was obviously stunned, and tears rolled down her face.

"……It's you?"

Seeing her astonishment, Gushe wanted to look for any expression of guilt or guilt on her face for a moment, but she soon realized that she was not here to seek an apology this time.

She glanced at the TV screen, which was still showing the interrogation footage, and said calmly: "Zhu Fu Jingguang has been exposed, and the organization is hunting him down."

Tojo Hojo was stunned.

Her expression suddenly changed, like a sister Lin who was silently mourning and weeping, but suddenly transformed into an angry Li Kui - she rushed forward with a ferocious and stunned expression.

Gushe quickly stepped aside to avoid it.

Toyoka Hojo caught the opportunity. She stood up from the floor and glared at Gushe angrily: "Why were you exposed?! You...were you betrayed?!"

"Not me," said the sheath.

"Then how could he..." Hojo Toori was angry and anxious, worried to the point of being incoherent. She continued to question: "Why are you still standing here stupidly?! Go out and save him!"

Hearing her commanding tone, Gushe glanced at her a little surprised and a little inexplicably.

"Why should I save him?"

As Gushe said, he calculated the time to influence the animal messenger, and his tone did not change: "Is it just because of Baijiu's mission? But we are undercover agents from different countries..."

For the sake of the mission, she tried to rescue him (asking Akai to help), but she herself did not end up. Even when it happened, she stayed away from the place where the incident occurred to avoid arousing suspicion.

It's understandable that she wants to save people, but she doesn't understand Hojo Toyoka's confident attitude.

"so what?!"

Tojo Hojo yelled.

"In the original work, Zero lost all his friends, Hagiwara was killed in a bombing the year he graduated, Matsuda voluntarily gave up the chance of survival for the benefit of the people, and Jingguang lost his parents early, grew up to become a policeman, and unfortunately died after infiltrating the organization. These things happened to them At that time, I was only in my twenties..."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red again. Those eyes stared at Gushe fiercely as if they were quenched with poison, as if she had just done something unforgivable and evil.

"Don't you feel sympathy for what happened to them? Now that these things are happening before your eyes, haven't you ever thought about making up for this regret yourself?!"

The sheath is silent.

Toyoka Hojo sucked in her tears and continued in a serious tone:

"I know that Conan is a Japanese comic and some people don't like it, but the spirit it expresses is positive. The police and undercover agents in it are representatives of justice. They are selfless in secret and working hard for the future of the people. !”

"Although... although there is a blood feud between our countries, this is not a reason for you to ignore their spirit! This is not reality! Using this reason to refuse to save people, are you worthy of your status as a red party?!"

Gushe's eyes slowly moved away.

She looked behind Tojo Hojo and saw the scenes of Morofu Kagemitsu's torture and killing of Mrs. Hojo being played repeatedly on the TV screen, and her mood was quite stable.

Maybe, I was a real fool for trying to reason with her just now...

Gu Qiao didn't say a word and touched his system ring again.

This time, she summoned another animal messenger of her own.

--people.

……

The animal messengers of the cornsheath are eagles and humans. She uses the former most of the time. The eagle flies in the sky and has a wide field of vision, which is very convenient for detecting the surrounding area.

She rarely uses the latter. Firstly, they can only speak her native language and there is no Japanese translation. Secondly, it involves ethical issues - they are not born from the mother's womb and are more like cloned creatures, but they also have memories. , thoughts and complete emotions.

Every time she made them disappear, Gushe felt like she was killing someone.

The situation at hand was special, and it was rare for Gushen to use this kind of messenger. A middle-aged woman who looked exactly like the one in the video appeared behind Tojo Hojo and pushed her to the ground.

Hojo Toyoka was shocked: "What are you doing?!"

"I'll take you out of the game."

As Gushe said, she summoned again, and this time two young men appeared.

——They have the same faces as Jianggu Ling and Zhufu Jingguang.

Hojo Toyoka's eyes lit up instantly, and she even showed a shy expression.

But the next second, she saw Gushe take out a dagger from her trousers pocket, and without any explanation, she stabbed one of them directly in the body!

The blade pierced into real flesh and blood, and blood spurted out instantly. Toyoka Hojo was completely stunned, and a scream broke out from her mouth that was even shriller than before.

"stop!!"

Without hesitation, Gushe stabbed him again, this time with another one. They didn't resist at all.

This is her human messenger.

She met Jiangu Ling not long ago, and she just got a photo of Zhu Fu Jingguang. As long as she saw the other person's face, she could create a substitute who looked exactly the same but was completely obedient to her in terms of will.

Gushe is not star-chasing, but she understands the thinking of some fandoms - hurting idols will cause her more pain than hurting herself or even her family.

This stabbing attack almost tortured the person to death. Toyoka Hojo saw this and let out a shrill scream. She suddenly broke free from the oppression of "Mrs. Hojo" and pushed hard.

"Mrs. Hojo" fell backwards and hit her head heavily on the TV. She quickly slid down and became motionless.

[The player camp has changed. 】

[The passerby’s camp is ‘arrogant’, and it is determined to transfer to the Black camp. 】

Gushe was stunned for a moment when she saw a system pop-up window appeared in front of Tojo Hojo, but there was nothing in front of her.

Faction switching...can only the player himself receive this notification? Or will other players also receive it, but with a certain time difference?

Gushen was confused, but Tojo Hojo didn't care about it at all. She screamed with red eyes and rushed towards Gushen, but was pushed to the ground by two bloody human messengers.
