Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 141 The Changes Huijie Has Made

???

Ai stared blankly at Keisuke, wondering why he had suddenly used such a strange form of address.

Seeing Ai's somewhat dazed expression, Huijie smiled, sat up, pinched Ai's face, and said, "Don't you know? There are four ironclad bonds between men: fighting together, studying together, sharing the spoils, and visiting prostitutes together."

"We've pretty much reached a half-agreement, so calling each other brothers isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"Hahaha..." Sonoko, who had been watching Huijie's situation and was wondering why he had suddenly gotten up, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

Ai couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this; her melancholy was suddenly interrupted by Keisuke's word "brother."

He glanced at Conan, who was intently studying the Egg of Memories, and then at Sonoko, who was still laughing. He shook his head and said, "Never mind, let's talk alone when no one's around!"

Seeing Ai still hesitating, Keisuke sighed and immediately pulled her towards the door.

"What are you doing?" Ai asked, somewhat puzzled, before obediently following Keisuke out the door.

As soon as he opened the door, Keisuke saw a white figure disappear from the back of the corridor. Seeing this, Keisuke rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to Kid, and quickly pulled Ai around to the other side.

Upon arriving at the room where he and Sonoko had previously taken refuge, after locking the door, Teruyuki looked at Ai seriously and asked, "Alright, now it's just the two of us. What's wrong with you?"

Upon hearing Huijie's question, Ai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think there's a big problem with your current attitude towards life."

Upon hearing this, Huijie was taken aback. Ai actually thought there was something wrong with his current attitude towards life?
Isn't this a coincidence? He also felt that Ai should build a comprehensive and multi-dimensional psychological defense, so Huijie smiled and said to Ai:

"That's all you wanted to say? What's wrong with it? If you can't give me a straight answer, I'm going to punish you severely!"

Hearing Hui Jie's somewhat nonsensical words, Ai glared at him with displeasure. She had originally planned to find a serious occasion to talk to Hui Jie about these things, so that he would realize his problem and receive better treatment in the future.

But after Huijie's words, she felt that it had turned into a kind of fun where saying the right thing was rewarded and saying the wrong thing was punished.

Shaking her head, Ai shook off the unclean thoughts in her mind, then took a deep breath, regained her indifferent expression, and said to Keisuke, "I feel that your attitude towards life now is not like facing real life, but rather like playing a game."

"You showed no respect for officials; you showed no reverence for death; and you showed no fear of firearms, but instead actively sought to approach them!"

"This kind of thinking is somewhat dangerous for you!"

Hui Jie smiled. He finally understood what Ai was struggling with. Ultimately, she was worried about him.

Thinking of this, Hui Jie smiled and shared his thoughts on these matters: "I know you're worried about me, but think about it carefully, an official organization that can easily hack information; there are thousands of cases a year."

"As for the gun, it's a gun that fell from the hands of bad guys. If I don't take it, then who's in more danger?"

"Don't you think that makes sense?" Before Ai could continue speaking, Keisuke asked, "Did Conan say these things, or did you come up with them yourself?"

Ai paused for a moment, seemingly having no intention of hiding it for Conan, and decisively revealed the truth, saying to Keisuke: "It was Edogawa who discovered it, although I do agree with his point of view."

Hui Jie nodded, unsurprisingly, but still somewhat disappointed.

To be honest, it would have been fine when we first met, because Huijie knew he had this problem back then, but he really didn't care about other people at that time, because in his eyes, everyone in this world who was unrelated to him was like an NPC.

After all, without my interference, they will all develop according to the established trajectory, but it is not entirely just a game world, because there is no timeline here.

Then Huijie smiled and recalled the changes he had made.

The first time Keisuke truly changed the plot was when he obtained the Level 5 theft and helped the museum director, Ochiai, clear his name.

At that time, Huijie already knew that this world was a real world, and everyone in it had their own will.

However, without Huijie's intervention, they would act in the same way as the plot they knew from their previous life.

The second time was when he acquired level 5 hacking skills. Because he could control everything from behind the scenes, he chose to tell Shuichi Akai, indirectly affecting Akemi Miyano's fate.

This outcome also led to the FBI's early intervention, triggering a chain reaction and causing the organization to operate more discreetly.

This time, the achievement of his goal made Huijie feel like someone who was working behind the scenes as a boss, so he looked for an opportunity to intervene for the third time.

The third time was when the explosive maniac was likely to threaten those around him, and Teruyoshi informed Amuro Tooru of this information, but the result was different from what he had imagined.

Amuro Tooru did not find the blaster quickly and end it all as he had imagined.

Instead, for the sake of national security, he focused most of his energy on the "outsider" and even prepared to make contact with Kogoro Mouri, which led to him and Vermouth becoming wary of each other.

This time, although the ending is acceptable, Amuro Tooru can only maintain the status quo in order to prevent Vermouth from discovering his undercover identity; and Vermouth, in order to prevent Amuro Tooru from discovering Conan's identity, has not continued to target Ai Haibara until now.

But for Huijie, this undoubtedly means the failure of his behind-the-scenes boss plan.

This also made Huijie realize his own limitations. He simply didn't have the ability to perfectly control people's hearts, so Huijie quickly suppressed his slightly inflated ego.

So Huijie decided to be a lazy bum who mainly focuses on dating, enjoying his own love life while also helping others with theirs. He would maintain the status quo, primarily monitoring the actions of both the Black and Red factions, with only minor intervention.

After that, Huijie would only occasionally tease the Public Security Bureau and the FBI, the two forces he had already come into contact with. As for Kid, since Kid posed virtually no danger, he was just an afterthought.

And now, Conan actually thinks that this law-abiding citizen, who is trying his best to restrain himself for the sake of peace, has a mental problem?
