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

Chapter 158 The worst player?

It rained heavily in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.

The sky was completely obscured by dark clouds, and not a single ray of sunlight shone down. The air was cold and damp, and the cold wind carried the rain and blew in the face. Almost everyone walking outside quickened their pace.

But there is one exception.

[Player 'Jealous' has exited the game. 】

Seeing the words on the system pop-up window, Tojo Hojo still gritted his teeth.

She did not bring an umbrella, the rain wet her hair and skirt, and several people holding umbrellas passed by her.

"Where are the lions?" one of the leaders asked.

"The person who called the police said he saw it nearby, and it seemed to have jumped into a car. Because it was a ferocious beast, he didn't dare to get too close. He ran away and immediately called the police."

"There is a parking lot in front, go over there and have a look."

"I contacted the nearby zoo and they said that no animals were found escaping in the wild animal area."

Someone saw Tojo Hojo, stopped and asked, "Did you come from that way? Have you seen..."

"do not know."

Toyoka Hojo replied impatiently, ignoring the people who might have been attracted by her animal appearance, and quickened her pace and continued walking forward.

She wanted to rush back to Acupo immediately.

However, all the taxis on the road were full, and it was a long walk to the nearest station. She was already very tired when she came here in the shape of a lion, and she didn't have the energy to run back the same way...

Eventually, she stopped and took shelter from the rain in a sheltered area.

……

Tojo Hojo looked at the rain curtain in front of her.

She was now quite embarrassed, her arms and legs were sore and swollen, which was caused by sudden heavy exercise after a long period of inactivity. She was also soaked, her clothes and hair were stuck to her skin, and she felt cold and uncomfortable.

She picked up her phone and tried her best to browse the news from Abedo.

The rescue work on the building has just begun, and it is expected to take several days to dig underneath; there was no explosion on the side of the Ferris wheel...

She refreshed it several times, especially concerned about whether there was any new breaking news. It wasn't until five or six minutes later that I closed the news page and opened the game system.

Seeing the familiar interface, Hojo Toyoka felt her eyes heat up. Her nose felt sore, her vision gradually became blurred, and tears fell.

Today was definitely her unluckiest day since entering the game.

She wiped away her tears, opened the [Rules] interface, and looked at one of the rules.

[The player has a value of ‘willpower’. If it drops to 20, the system will ask whether to quit. If it drops below 10, the system will force the player to quit. Exiting early due to personal willpower issues will not affect other players. 】

Baijiu will quit early, probably because his willpower has dropped below 20. After all, in order to get revenge on him, she just modified his will and asked him to stab his parents.

Toyoka Hojo's focus is on the latter point, "withdrawing early due to personal willpower issues will not affect other players."

Regarding this, she asked the system when she first entered the game.

"This will not affect other players. Are you referring to the mission?"

【Yes. The red and black camps are highly risky. In order to appropriately reduce the difficulty, one player from each of the red and black camps is allowed to quit early due to willpower issues. The tasks they carry are considered to be automatically abandoned and will not affect the remaining players. After others complete the task, the game can end normally. 】

"Then what if two people from the same camp quit?"

[The task of the last person to quit will be randomly transferred to the remaining players. This transfer does not distinguish between camps and does not bring the opponent's skills. 】

Now that Baijiu has withdrawn, his mission will be automatically abandoned.

Tojo Hojo didn't care about him. She was worried about whether her two trash teammates would let themselves go and harm Zero and the others after losing this restriction.

——Especially that [Gluttony] who has an extremely mean mouth and seems to have zero negative fans.

At the beginning, she once regarded him as a good person. He said that he had only watched the Conan animation on TV and had not seen the police academy team appear. She was kind enough to introduce it to him.

She briefly summarized their experience, and his attitude was normal at the time.

[Gluttony: Why can a mixed-race person become a top executive in a secret service? I remember that there was an academician in China who was obviously mixed-race. He was rejected by Tsinghua and Peking University even though his grades were particularly good... Is Japan more tolerant in this regard? 】

[Gluttony: Damn it, what a big piece of garbage. Isn’t that kind of two-choice trap deliberately disgusting? 】[Gluttony: Suicide after being exposed by an undercover police officer may be the best choice in a bad situation. Being caught is a life worse than death, and the family is also vulnerable to retaliation... I think of the reports on drug dealers I read before. It's really not human. It can be done. 】

[Gluttony: Wasn’t the death of the squad leader deliberately made up by the author to increase the sense of tragedy for Jiang Guling? There are so many people in the class, but all his friends are gone? It's too deliberate. 】

Although some of her words sounded like questions (why can't mixed-race people be at the top?!), which made Tojo Hojo feel a little uncomfortable, she tolerated him generously and even made an appointment to meet him offline.

That meeting was scheduled to take place in Mihua. Since they had never mentioned their age before, she didn't realize until they met that he was younger than her and the same age as Kudo Shinichi.

This surprised Toyoka Hojo. After all, sometimes [Gluttony] speaks in a tone more like a social animal that has lost its passion. However, this youth also makes Toyoka Hojo more confident. She has taught many young fans of this age. , and have the confidence to cultivate him into a true fan who will contribute money and effort.

She began to write more lengthy articles because she felt that those simple overviews were not enough to make him realize how good they really were, and she wanted to impress him further.

However, things are completely opposite.

From then on, [Gluttony] gradually became more and more impatient.

[Gluttony: Are you annoyed? 】

[Gluttony: If you want to save me, go save it yourself. Why do you have to pester me and curse me? Less moral kidnapping, when the world revolves around your wishes? 】

Forget it. By the end, he even said bad things to Zero.

[Gluttony: I don’t understand at all. Why can a mixed race become the head of the police? What is his family background? Which second-generation family has a silver spoon in its mouth? 】

[Gluttony: Is his father a US military stationed in Japan? 】

[Gluttony: Is that why he hates American men so much who abandon women and run away alone? 】

The last two sentences were more outrageous than the previous ones combined. When Hojo Toyoka saw it, she was really trembling with anger.

They are so good, so outstanding, so hard-working, so handsome, they are simply perfect - why should he be so slanderous? !

If she hadn't traveled through time, she would have definitely summoned the entire fandom to teach him a lesson! Scold him until he deletes the comment and apologizes! It's best to reveal his school home address and let his classmates and friends know that he is a piece of trash!
At that time, Toyoka Hojo hated this super big guy. In addition to him, she was also quite dissatisfied with [Laziness] and [Greed].

She originally thought that the two of them were also women, and that it was normal for Baijiu and [Gluttony] not to like them out of same-sex jealousy, but they would definitely have a crush on them, and they might even want to compete with her.

In the end, these two were more indifferent than [Gluttony], one ran away and the other disappeared.

The more Tojo Hojo thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. Coupled with what happened today, her face was filled with tears unknowingly. She felt that she was simply the most pitiful player.

At this moment, her phone suddenly vibrated.

This movement frightened Tojo Hojo and almost threw away his things! She came to her senses after a few seconds and looked at the sender with wide eyes.

It turned out to be from her mother.

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

In the ruins just now, Tojo Hojo only saw her father's body, but not her mother. She thought she had not been dug out for the time being, but she didn't expect that she was alive!

This news surprised and delighted Hojo Toyoka.

After the death of Shinji Hojo, Mrs. Hojo doted on her even more, almost always responded to her requests, and followed her in everything, almost like her parents in reality.

She immediately rushed out of the shelter and went to the road to wave.

This time she successfully stopped a taxi, opened the door and got in. When the driver saw that she was soaked, he opened his mouth to drive her out, but she used her skills to shut him up.

The car drove smoothly towards the port area.

……

After the Hojo family moved to Abedo, their one-family house in Minato Ward was not sold for the time being, and there were some old appliances in it that were also unsold.

The taxi stopped at the door, and Tojo Hojo gave the money and got out of the car. She ran to the door and found that the door was slightly open. She couldn't wait to open the door and ran to the living room.

"I returned--"

The next words stopped abruptly.

The entire living room became empty after most of the furniture was moved away. There was no sofa, table or chair, only the tatami on the floor and the TV in the corner.

At this time, a set of pictures was being played on the TV. The picture quality is clear, the angle is striking, and the faces of the characters on the picture can be seen clearly. It should have been specially shot in a professional room with more professional equipment.

——Zhufu Jingguang stabbed the knife into Mrs. Hojo's neck.
