Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 142 The evil prank
Many people forget what happened in their dreams when they wake up.

The same was true for Tojo Hojo. After she opened her eyes, she was still in a trance.She didn't react until the knock on the door came again.

Her eyes widened and she looked around confusedly.

Today is the death anniversary of the original Matsuda, and she went out early to save him.But when she arrived, she suddenly realized that she had no makeup on. She wanted to show her most beautiful side, so she went into the bathroom of the shopping mall to touch up her makeup, and then...

…and what happened?
Tojo Hojo couldn't remember.

She just felt dizzy. This feeling was somewhat similar to her real-life state after a general anesthesia operation.

The banging and shouting outside continued. Toyoka Hojo didn't care about her strange state anymore. She took out her mobile phone to check the time. She was shocked to find that it was already afternoon and immediately opened the door.

All the guests waiting outside looked at her, and she ran outside regardless of their reactions.

The Ferris wheel outside the square was still operating normally. Crowds lined up from the platform to the steps. Several staff members were on site to maintain order.

Tobi Hojo rushed to one of the staff and shouted: "Stop the Ferris wheel! There is a bomb on it!"

Her voice was loud, and many passengers who were about to arrive in line heard her and stared at her with wide eyes, missing the car; while several staff members were all stunned, looked at each other, and then looked at her together.

The staff member who was stopped by her was the quickest to come to his senses. He first smiled at the passengers, then turned to Hojo Tooka and said, "Miss, please don't talk nonsense."

"It's true! It's in car No. 72!"

Regarding the details of the police academy team, from the anniversary of their death to the place of death, Toyoka Hojo remembered them all clearly.

And she knows that only she can save them, because she is currently the only player whose [plot modification restriction] has been lifted.

——Even she herself doesn’t know what she did to open this restriction.

"No bombs."

The staff kept a polite smile: "When a large number of bombs were discovered in other areas of Tokyo, the mall's latest partner called us and asked us to check the inside of the Ferris wheel car. No suspicious items were found."

"What if it was installed after you inspected it?! Stop the Ferris wheel quickly!"

Hojo Toyoka shouted while using the system ring to open the game system.

She didn't pay any attention to what the other party just said. She stared directly at them and activated her all-powerful active skill.

Unfortunately, she failed - each of them wore glasses, and the wider frames had advertising slogans printed on them, as if they were doing something in the mall.

"Don't worry, it's really safe here." The staff had no reaction.

Toyoka Hojo looked anxiously at these guys who were stopping her from rescuing people. Suddenly, she suddenly felt heartbroken and rushed towards them, trying to knock off their glasses. However, the other party ducked aside and got out of the way.

There was more noise, and more passengers looked in their direction and began to whisper.

The staff member was almost attacked. He completely lost his good temper and shouted at her: "Miss! If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, we will call security!"

Hojo Toyoka was so angry that she almost cried.

She glared at them with red eyes and turned to look at the others, hoping that someone would stand up and say something for her.

But those passengers just looked at it coldly, and some kid even asked their parents, "What is this sister doing?" "Don't worry about her/you can't do this in the future"... She could only step aside temporarily.

Hojo Toyoka raised her head and looked at the slowly moving cars, feeling angry and anxious.

What should she do?
Hagiwara was dead, and she didn't want anything to happen to any of the remaining four people.Not just for the game missions, but because she likes them.

She held her phone tightly, knowing that there was a cloud document in it. This was the ending of the police academy episode she had written temporarily in the past few days. She originally planned to wait until December 12, after completing the rescue of Jingguang, and publish it on her fans. In the chat room.

When Tojo Hojo was extremely anxious, she finally remembered that she still had an ally.

She quickly opened the temporary group chat with her allies, only to find a sentence hanging in it.

[Jealousy: The Metropolitan Police Department received news that a hospital in Aido is more likely to be attacked. My boss and I went there...]

"What are you kidding?!!"

Toyoka Hojo cursed, her anger finally found an outlet, and she typed quickly.

[Arrogance: Who asked you to go there? !Hurry to Miwa Central Hospital!Only if the bomb there is defused first will Matsuda be safe! ! 】

[Arrogance: Did you hear that?Answer me quickly! ! ! 】

----

Aipido University Hospital.

Facts have proved that in the face of disasters—whether natural or man-made disasters—no matter how well-educated people are, they will fall into panic.

The scene was extremely chaotic. Patients, injured and family members were in a chaotic mess and rushed to the nurses to ask for transfer. Medical staff who were also afraid of bombs were trying to comfort them.

Only the reporters were excited. The leader seemed to have completely forgotten his personal life and death. He filmed the scene and broadcast it live to all parts of the country.

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

[Three seconds before this bomb explodes, I will tell you the location of the apartment where the bomb is placed, and I hope you will make a perfect choice...] The black LCD screen flashes red text over and over again, and the masked police officer is mumbling " "What to do?" "Scum" and the like, Teraoka Katsutoshi was so anxious that he was sweating and tried hard to stop reporters who wanted to get closer;
Baijiu, who was pulled to dismantle the bomb and whose face was photographed by the camera, stood blankly in front of the bomb, motionless as if cement had been poured on him.

Many people were looking at him with various looks; but he just looked at his hands and the unstoppable countdown on the bomb.

He used the skill, but the countdown didn't stop.

——He must choose whether to defuse the bomb.

Baijiu's mind went blank.

……

Choose one of two, the famous trolley problem.

However, the difficulty of this question increased at this time, and it became even worse. It was not "one person vs. multiple people, which side should you give up", but "multiple vs. multiple people, which side should you choose to die?"

——No matter which side you choose, you will be criticized by thousands of people.

Baijiu's entire face became distorted due to extreme fear, and his fingers and facial muscles were constantly spasming and twitching.

Why is this happening?

Why did this happen to me?
This should be, should be...

Baijiu doesn't understand.

He wanted to step back, turn around and run away from here, but the camera and the crowd of voices blocked him in place, with nowhere to escape.

【Save me, save me, save me...】

【Quickly dismantle it!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 in the morning.

They came to the hospital due to a major accident. Not long after receiving treatment, they thought everything was fine, but suddenly found that there was a worse crisis waiting for them in the hospital. Many people's mentality was completely shattered.

These nearly collapsed thoughts all poured into the heart of the player with mind-reading skills, dragging him gradually into madness.

Baijiu felt his group chat flickering, but he couldn't care less. He raised the bomb-defusing wire-cutting tool and extended the cutter toward the wire.

The person next to him seemed to be talking to him, and his voice was urgent, but he couldn't hear anything.

In fact, he didn't know what he was doing right now. His body seemed to be controlled by others, and his consciousness was separated from his body and floating aside.

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

Hagiwara.

Hagiwara Kenji, the person who once offered a helping hand to him, he is warm and kind, considerate of others, and quite popular... How did he react when faced with the bomb of the reboot?
China.

What was she thinking when she was dying and being tortured by the people in the organization? …Will she regret going through with the decoy scheme?Will he hate himself for not being able to save her?
Iris.

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

Matsuda.

If it were him, if it was this person who was going to die today, this person who in the original novel could give up his life for others neatly... what would he do when faced with the situation in front of him?
- and finally himself.

He doesn't want to die.

He really didn't want to die.

He was afraid of death, and he knew how painful it was.He is just a policeman who became a monk halfway and was coerced by the system to take this path. He has no courage to sacrifice for others.

In order to keep himself alive, there is no choice but to let others die... And it's not just him, there are so many injured and patients here. He is not only doing it for himself, but also for them! ...No one would blame him!
"Crack."

A cord cutting tool cuts the power cord.

The countdown stops.

Cold sweat slid from his forehead to the bridge of his nose, and finally fell to the ground. Only then did Bai Jiu realize that his whole body was shaking.

There were cheers from behind, and many people fell to the ground and cried.The masked policeman next to him first breathed a sigh of relief, then said: "But there's another bomb..."

His words came to an abrupt end.

They looked at the bomb and saw the words on the black LCD screen changing as the lines were cut off——

【you were fooled. 】

[This is just a prank, I haven’t gone too far to plant a bomb in the hospital. 】

[Congratulations, because you have successfully activated another bomb (laughing). 】
