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

Chapter 36 The Difference between Black and Black
There was silence at the table.

Aoyagi Binguang tied up his hair with the hair rope passed back from the skill clone, and at the same time sorted out the extra memories in his mind.

This is the most convenient part of his skill, as one person can divide the army into two groups.

Because the skill was ineffective against rabbits, Aoyagi Binguang could only let the clone disguise himself to meet Gin (even the electronic shackles were transferred), while the main body remained in the tower.Fortunately, the memories and feelings came back intact, making him feel as if he had gone there in person.

After the skill clone drank wine, Aoyagi Binguang felt the taste of silver bullets lingering in his mouth.He drank some water, then picked up the knife and fork again and looked at Rabbit Again.

Unlike his teammates who fell into fear again because of what Tojo Hojo did, Aoyagi Himitsu himself was in a good mood.

Originally, he was thinking about how to persuade Rabbit to check Hojo Toyoka's passive skills without wasting his time, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to do so.

As early as when Rabbit exploded his skills in the ward, Aoyagi Binguang discovered the rules of the system's answer. When players listen to other people's skills, their number of questions will not be inexplicably consumed.

Now I have to add one thing - Rabbit read Baijiu's memory yesterday and directly knew the three skills. He can also check them at night. Using skills to get information also does not consume times.

As for Tojo Hojo...

Her passive skill is amplification, which is not as tricky as he originally thought, and there are ways to defend against it in the normal state.Based on the activation conditions and the fragments of the rabbit's description, Aoyagi Binguang had several conjectures, and the next step was to find ways to confirm them.

Aoyagi Binguang, who was in a good mood, put a piece of pancake on his plate, took off the skewers and put it on, and then looked at the rabbit.

"Would you like some more beef in the soup? I stewed it all afternoon today."

Rabbit was in a semi-autistic state, not typing, and nodded slightly.

Aoyagi Binguang added a few pieces of beef to him, and ate the staple food of pancake-wrapped barbecue. While eating, he thought that the roasting took a little long this time, and he should pay attention to controlling the time next time.

The rabbit is small in size and has an equally small appetite. He quickly finished the food on the plate. Aoyagi Binguang asked: "Do you want more?"

Rabbit shook his head: [No, I'm full. 】

His ears twitched, and the system pop-up window was half pressed under his body.Suddenly he raised his head towards Qingliu Binguang, and met his eyes with a pair of dark eyes.

Qingliu Binguang saw that Rabbit had something to say and waited patiently for him to speak.

[What is your current willpower? 】

Aoyagi Binguang didn't expect Rabbit to ask this. He opened the [Character] interface and took a look at the values ​​​​on it.

"100."

From the beginning of this value, it has always been 100, without decreasing or increasing.

After Qingliu Binguang finished answering, he realized why Rabbit asked this.

"Your willpower has declined?"

----

willpower.

Before the game started, the system said that players can exit the game early - if the willpower drops to 20, the system will ask whether to quit; if it drops below 10, the system will force the player to quit.

When the rabbit first came in, his willpower was 78, the next morning it was 81, and now...

[My willpower has dropped to 63 now. 】

This was one of the reasons why the rabbit didn't sleep well last night.

If it drops to 20, he has a chance to exit the game early.It should have been a good thing to end it early, but Rabbit felt that the system that brought them into this kind of game would not let them go so easily.

In particular, the system said that these players were selected because their lives were in danger. In reality, their bodies were in a vegetative state.

One is [life danger], the other is [willpower]... When these two words are connected, it always gives people an ominous premonition.

After hearing the rabbit say the numerical value, Aoyagi Binguang put down the tableware in his hand and raised his hand to touch his head.

"It seems that the psychological pressure caused by those two players is greater than I thought."

Aoyagi Binguang looked into Rabbit's eyes and sighed softly, "...even if players from other camps are like this, do you still want to switch camps?"

The rabbit avoided his gaze and lowered his head, falling into silence.

He was not surprised that Aoyagi Binguang saw that he wanted to leave the black camp. He revealed this intention on the first day they met.

When he saw the memories of the first few scenes and learned about the personalities of Tojo Hojo and Shirogaba for several months, Rabbit did hesitate, worrying that the moral standards of other camp players were worrying.

However, this time he learned that it was not just them, but also another red player.

Although he didn't know her name or ID, he knew that the player was an undercover agent who had infiltrated the organization. He was a... good person who unfortunately stepped into a trap in order to help save others.

A good person shouldn't have a gun pointed at her, and he didn't want to stand idly by while two other players had ill intentions toward her and might target her again.Even if he is weak, he still wants to help the other party.

especially……

Rabbit once again thought of Baijiu's suffocating silence for several months, and something in his heart felt heavy.

——Especially...she may be an undercover agent of her own country.

Rabbit felt Qingliu Binguang looking at him. He did not rush him and waited patiently for his answer.

But he didn't say it.

To Aoyagi Binguang, who is clearly a foreigner, no matter how friendly he seems to be, Rabbit thinks that he shouldn't say this real reason casually.

"...If you want to switch camps, you can try other methods."

Aoyagi Binguang didn't seem to notice this strange silence, and gave his opinion: "You don't need to find other players, you can try to contact the red characters in the original work, such as Kudo Shinichi." After hearing his words, Rabbit was confused.

[Now Kudo Shinichi has not become smaller and is staying in Yoneka Town. It is not like turning into Conan and running around Japan. You are a teacher in a school in Minato City. How do you get in touch with him? 】

And what attitude can you use to see the other person?A headless human form, or a rabbit form?
...You will definitely be regarded as a monster, right?
Aoyagi Binguang smiled: "Actually, in addition to checking the news about Tojo Hojo today, I am also preparing lessons. After all, school starts tomorrow... The school sent me the student's information and told me that the school has an exchange student program."

"Minato Middle School and Teitan Junior High School will select one student from each grade every year to study at the other school for a semester. This year's exchange student candidate for the second grade of Teitan Junior High School is Kudo Shinichi."

"Although I applied for a music teacher position in the International Department, the second-grade teacher is not in good health and sometimes needs someone else to take over the teaching, so..."

Aoyagi Binguang met Rabbit's surprised gaze.

"We have every opportunity to get to know him."

----

After dinner, Rabbit, who was in a slightly recovered mood, was responsible for clearing the table, putting the dirty dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, and then sat on the sofa with Aoyagi Binguang to watch TV.

The news was playing on the TV, and several of them were about cases involving Mihua.

Aoyagi Binguang was not surprised by this. As early as when he was in the United States, he heard from Gin who was transferred to Japan that rice flower security was good. If used properly, the traces of some organizations could be reasonably covered up.

After watching for about half an hour, Rabbit suddenly touched him: [I want to take a bath, are there any bath salts? 】

In the past few days, Rabbit took a shower instead of a bathtub. Qingliu Binguang stood up and said, "Yes. I'm going to put some water for you now. You go back to the room to get your clothes."

The rabbit is still wearing yesterday's clothes. Although there is no unpleasant sweat smell, it is still quite unhygienic.

Qingliu Binguang was about to leave when Rabbit grabbed him again.

[...Yesterday, I was tossing and turning in these dirty clothes on the bed, and the sheets were all messed up. Can you help me get a new one?Wait until I finish taking a shower to change. 】

When organizing the spare parts, Aoyagi Binguang did it alone, so Rabbit didn't know where to put those things.

"it is good."

Qingliu Binguang went to the bathroom first without asking to help change.

……

When Aoyagi Binguang put away the bath water and took the clean sheets and entered the rabbit's room, the rabbit just came out with his pajamas.

"The water has been put, and the bath salts are on the shelf next to it." Aoyagi Binguang reminded, "There are also two flavors of aromatherapy oil and shower gel. You can put them there if you want."

The rabbit in human form nodded its neck and left the bedroom.

After the rabbit left, Aoyagi Binguang finally turned his attention to the bed.

The sheets, which had been perfectly spread out when he came to deliver the sandwiches last night, were now in disarray.

Part of it was pulled off, revealing the mattress underneath. The corners were twisted into a ball and were not loosened, as if it had been clenched hard in someone's hand. There were obvious scratch marks on it with fingernails.

Being able to leave traces on such fabric is enough to show how angry and painful the person involved is feeling.However, in the previous exchange, Rabbit did not reveal anything.

Aoyagi Binguang once heard someone from the tissue laboratory say that rabbits are one of the most pain-tolerant animals in biology.

——Because the vocal cords are underdeveloped, even if you break a bone, even if you break your internal organs, and even if all kinds of pain accumulate to the extreme, it is difficult to shout out, and you can only bear the pain silently.

The humanoid state has no brain and cannot produce sound. The animal form is still an animal with underdeveloped vocal cords...

Aoyagi Binguang looked away, as if he hadn't noticed anything, he put the clean sheets on the chair aside, turned around and left the room.

Willpower...

He said the word silently in his mind.

Because Aoyagi Binguang's willpower has always been 100, he didn't care too much about this.It wasn't until Rabbit said that the value had dropped during dinner that he realized how important this value was, which the game system specifically mentioned at that time.

A player can be resurrected if he dies in the game. Even if he disgusts other players with their skills, he cannot kill them once and for all.

But he almost forgot - they cannot be killed, but they can exit the game early.

Maybe, he can...

Just as Qingliu Binguang was thinking, there was a sudden sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the distant bathroom, along with the sound of many bottles and cans being smashed.

He was startled and without time to think about it, he ran towards there and pushed the door open.

I saw that the bathroom was filled with mist, and the mirror was also covered with a layer of water mist. Rabbit was naked and huddled against the wall alone, with his hands folded in his arms, and his whole body was shivering.

"what happened?"

Seeing that there was no enemy attack, Qingliu Binguang was confused.

He walked over and squatted beside the rabbit, trying to help him up.As a result, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Rabbit grabbed his wrist with such force that it was impossible to break free easily, and almost every finger was trembling.

Faced with Aoyagi Binguang's question, Rabbit couldn't say a word.

Like seeing something so terrifying.

Seeing that Rabbit was temporarily unable to type an answer, Aoyagi Binguang could only use his free hand to pull a towel to cover his important parts, and then looked forward.

——He only saw a bathtub full of water.

　Next is the school chapter, where Shinichi will appear.The original version didn't write about the process of them becoming friends, but this version will.
