Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

It was very strange that Bai Jiu was clearly lying in the room at this moment, but the scene outside the room was also included in his memory.

As expected, Fūya Rei and the other five were guarding outside. Besides them, there was also the instructor who was instructing shooting and a couple who looked very elegant and cultured.

Rabbit noticed that there were needle holes on the elbows of Kenji Hagiwara and Rei Furuya. From the size of the needle holes, he knew at a glance that the two had donated blood not long ago.

The man in the couple looked a bit like Baijiu. He bowed deeply to them and said, "Thank you for saving my son. If it weren't for your blood, I'm afraid he would have died in a few months..."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled amiably and said to the man, "This is what we should do. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to subdue the robber so easily."

Mr. Baijiu smiled bitterly: "Don't comfort me like this. I... know my son very well. He is timid and fearful. He doesn't have any courage of a man. It's good that he doesn't cause trouble for you."

The rabbit listened and suddenly felt a twitch in his heart.

He looked back at the ward. This feeling was conveyed to him by Baijiu - he heard what his current father said in the room.

By the way, Baijiu used to be from a single-parent family. His father was a policeman who died early in the line of duty... For him, does this game allow him to have a complete family again? But now, his father says this about him...

"Please don't say that."

Hagiwara Kenji suppressed his smile and looked at Mr. Shiraha with a serious expression, "No matter what he was like in the past, he is now an excellent police academy student. When he encountered danger at noon, he rushed over immediately."

Another blood donor, Furugani Rei, looked at Mr. Shirahito with a slightly frowned brow, as if he wanted to ask something but was hesitant about whether to speak.

Mrs. Hakuba noticed his expression and asked kindly, "Four Valley-kun, do you have anything to say?"

A boy with blue eyes and slightly upturned eyes next to him patted Furugaya Rei on the shoulder; Furugaya Rei came to his senses, turned his head to look at him, and then turned to the Hakuba couple.

"Excuse me, are you the president of Baijiu Pharmaceutical Company?"

Mr. Baijiu smiled bitterly and nodded: "I didn't expect that after the company went bankrupt for more than ten years, there are still people who remember me."

Fūya Rei asked seriously, "In the past, was there a couple named Miyano in the R&D team of Hakubato Company?"

"Yes, Miyano Atsushi and Miyano Elena, they are very outstanding scientists. After my company was acquired by Karasuma Group and went bankrupt, they did not accept Karasuma's invitation and returned to their hometown to open a clinic, but then suddenly closed the clinic..."

"Then do you know where they went after closing the clinic?" asked Furiya Rei.

"This one……"

Mr. Baijiu frowned and fell into recollection: "Maybe it was the Karasuma Group. After they left, Atsushi often contacted me. He said that the Karasuma Group contacted him many times, offering generous rewards, hoping that he and his wife could join the research..."

While they were talking, Kenji Hagiwara turned his head and whispered something to Jinpei Matsuda beside him. Matsuda nodded, and then Kenji Hagiwara turned and entered the ward.

As soon as he entered, he closed the door gently and met Baijiu's gaze.

"You are awake indeed. I just felt a gaze looking out. How do you feel now?"

Baijiu saw the needle hole on his arm: "...It's okay."

As the door closed, the scene outside the ward became blurred, and Rabbit had to go back into the house.

He looked at Bai Jiu, who looked unhappy, and then at Hagiwara Kenji, who was smiling. The emotions of the person whose memory was read were transmitted to him again.

Baijiu had mixed feelings this time.

There was the fear of facing death, the fear of coming back from the dead and the anesthesia wearing off during surgery, the dissatisfaction that they had stolen his limelight, and one more thing... the gratitude when he saw them donating blood to save him and heard him speak for him.

All kinds of emotions piled up together, like tangled tree roots buried underground. Even the person involved cannot tell which emotion is heavier.

Baijiu closed his eyes and laughed at himself: "You just..." He paused, "My father is right, I don't have much courage, even if I have it, it's only a little bit."

The rabbit knew he was telling the truth.

When he first heard the scream, Baijiu actually wanted to help, but the subsequent gunshots made him hesitate.

“No matter how small the courage is, it is still courage.”

Hagiwara Kenji walked to the bedside and said, "You can have more confidence in yourself. You are excellent. Just like your previous shooting training, your performance was much better than mine. The instructor even praised you."

He gave Baijiu a hearty smile: "Can I ask you for guidance during the next training?"

The rabbit looked at them and breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, Baijiu's emotions were finally no longer completely depressed, and a ray of sunshine shone through the dark clouds.

It's so comfortable to be with good people. If it were those people in the organization, who would comfort an unfamiliar peer? Even the young detectives were far more heartwarming than them.

Just as the rabbit relaxed, the scene in front of him began to change again.

——This time, there is a hint of ominous smell of gunpowder in the change.

……

A high-rise apartment building comes into view.

Kenji Hagiwara appeared again next to a police car with the Metropolitan Police Department logo, but the clothes he was wearing were not police academy uniforms, but official police uniforms.

He looked up at the tall building in front of him and ordered the others, "Team One, follow me up. Team Two, stay here and report the latest situation at any time!"

"Roger that!"

After saying this, Kenji Hagiwara looked at the heavy explosion-proof suit inside the police car.

The rabbit saw his actions and immediately realized what scene it was.

——This is the plot in the original work where Kenji Hagiwara died in the line of duty.

"..."

Rabbit felt a knot in his stomach, and this time, it was entirely his own emotion.

Although this policeman did not appear much in the original book, from the scene where he just stopped Bai Jiu's father from commenting on his son like that and comforted him, it can be seen that he is a very good person.

And now, this good policeman is about to face the countdown of his life.

The rabbit tried to calm his breathing, and suddenly remembered something and turned to look for the white dove.

He did not forget that the mission of this player with the ID "Jealous" was to save.

But Baijiu...is he willing to rescue her?

There were many police officers present, and many of them were wearing helmets. Before Rabbit could find the person, the surging emotions in his heart suddenly made him choke and he fell heavily to his knees.

This time, the empathy was stronger than any previous time. The feeling of distress stimulated the rabbit's brain to the point of buzzing pain, and he wanted to scream to vent.

He looked up with great effort and finally saw Baijiu in the crowd.

——He stood there, motionless, and the system pop-up window quietly appeared in front of him.

Before, I only saw the name of the rabbit's skills, but this time I finally saw his skill descriptions clearly.

[Active Skill - Dark Room Light: 90% chance of making the bomb ineffective, cooldown time is 1 hour.]

[Passive skill - Pure and clear mind: Randomly hear other people's voices. ]

The rabbit was delighted and didn't care about the ability to hear other people's thoughts for the time being. His focus was all on Baijiu's active skills.

Such skills are the nemesis of the bomber and Conan's theatrical version! In this way, the current Hagiwara Kenji can be saved, and Matsuda Jinpei in a few years can also...

But soon, he was no longer happy.

——Because he saw Bai Jiu, who had this skill, standing there, watching Hagiwara Kenji about to lead the team up.

It was also at this time that the rabbit understood the feelings in his heart.

It's fear and hesitation.

Unlike the resentment and jealousy before that seemed like explosives that would explode at any time, this feeling now weighed heavily on the heart, making it hard to breathe - Rabbit even suspected that Baijiu had not breathed for a long time.

Bai Jiu standing there was not motionless. His hands at his sides were shaking, and his expression and eyes were struggling.

He wanted to rescue.

However, he didn't dare.

Perhaps it was because of the repeated empathy that the rabbit understood Baijiu's personality and thinking patterns to some extent. He immediately understood the reason for Baijiu's fear.

——Because he died once.

It has been said that many people who commit suicide will not try again a second time after failing once because they experience the fear of facing death.

The same goes for the white dove.

The success rate of this skill is not 100%. The last time he died, he was in unbearable pain just from the bullet in his abdomen and waking up halfway through anesthesia. If the skill didn't work and he was blown to pieces by the bomb, how painful would it be when he resurrected?

So he doesn't want to go.

He didn't dare to gamble on the 10% chance of failure.

Hagiwara Kenji came to Baijiu's side and said, "Little Baijiu, you stay here and wait for orders. Remember to pay attention to Xiao Zhenping's call."

Baijiu moved his mouth but couldn't even utter the word "be careful". He could only nod his head with all his strength.

The excellent policeman who had kindly comforted him and saved him once patted his shoulder and smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry, I can deal with this bomb quickly."

Baijiu watched him leave.

From beginning to end, he never said "I'll go for you", nor did he even raise his hand to try to stop the other party.

The little bit of courage was eventually completely extinguished by the fear of facing death.

……

Amid the deafening explosion, the rabbit and the silent white dove watched the task refresh together -

[Mission: Let more than half of the police academy team survive to the end (4/3)

Details: You have been living in resentment for a long time, are you arrogant and extremely inferior, are you willing to save someone who is better than you? 】

Chapter 28: The Sin of Jealousy (Part )

The picture sank into darkness again.

"...How long will it take for this to end?"

The rabbit looked at the three-headed demon beside him and asked in an almost numb voice.

If at the beginning he still felt a little bit of the perverse pleasure of prying into other people's memories, now he is already in great pain because of these strong empathy.

[There are several more paragraphs to come. The later the memory, the closer it is to the present time, and at the same time, your ability to empathize with the other party begins to weaken, and you will appreciate these early paragraphs as a true bystander.]

[Of course, you can end it right away if you want. ]

Rabbit was about to say it was over, but then he thought of Aoyagi Akimitsu who was still waiting for his reply.
