Conan's Helping People

Chapter 400 Do it again

Miyano Akemi scooped out some soup, took a sip, and carefully analyzed whether a ceasefire was possible amidst the banging machine gun sounds, screams, and attacks on buildings scattered in all directions.

The fierce gunfire stopped, and Miyano Akemi heard Miyano Shiho say calmly: "You are very powerful."

She moved the tips of her ears, smiled and looked sideways at the frosted glass door of the kitchen.

There was half a faint light reflected there, which was the light from the TV in the living room.

The light and shadow shook for a while, and Hinata's reasonable and serious voice rang out, "Are you angry? Why?"

Huh?

Miyano Akemi blinked and became even more confused after hearing him, "You didn't lose any blood. You're not angry because you were injured."

He thought for a few seconds, suddenly came to his senses, and apologized sincerely, "Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the controller. It's too slow to solve them. I'll let you wait a little longer next time."

"..." Miyano Shiho said, "You are already very fast."

"In the guide, this level can take up to a minute to clear, and that's when two people focus their fire. But I just defeated eleven monsters, and you can clear the level."

She asked quietly and clearly: "Have you really never played before?"

Miyano Akemi turned off the heat and started serving soup, while silently listening to Hinata's reasonable answer.

She noticed that Hinata hesitated for a few seconds before answering naturally in a calm tone, "I have played similar games before."

This tone made her pause while placing the bowls, and she began to think thoughtfully.

Hinata seemed to realize that she was a little hesitant and untrustworthy, so she added, "With Gin."

He didn't lie, he just played with the art of language on the definition of "game". Life is also a game.

If you understand it this way, then he and Gin have indeed played similar games together. Gin named the red NPC and he was shot dead. They each performed their duties and cooperated perfectly.

Miyano Akemi walked out with the tray. She glanced at the TV and saw Hinata reasonable, who was trying hard to answer seriously, and Miyano Shiho, who relied on intuition and keenly noticed from Hinata's reasonable answer that she seemed to have been deceived.

She smiled and walked over.

"I'll put it down first and you guys can drink it later?"

"No need to wait," Hinata reached out and took one of the bowls reasonably. He sniffed the hot air and took a tentative sip. After a few seconds, he continued the second half of the sentence with a normal expression, "

Just passed the first level, you can drink now."

This is a bowl of Tuihan soup that is quite typical of "ginger soup" in terms of appearance and taste, and it can have an intimidating effect.

Miyano Shiho took a sniff and showed a serious expression similar to that of doing research in the laboratory. She took half a sip and waited for several seconds before making a concerned voice, "Have you drank it?"

"The snow seems to be getting heavier outside." She looked sideways at the window covered with a layer of misty white, then reached out to hold Miyano Akemi's hand, and found that her hand was warm, so she felt relieved, "

When the snow stops tomorrow, it will probably be even colder."

She glanced at Hinata and said, "If you go out on a mission, remember to wear thicker clothes."

Hinata was drinking the cold soup slowly, and when she heard the words, she just nodded and swallowed the hot spicy soup mixed with the response.

Miyano Akemi looked at him.

His expression was light, his brows were spread, not wrinkled, and there was a coldness about him that was particularly repellent from thousands of miles away. The black kimono aroused that coldness to a degree, making him look even colder.

It's as cold as the falling snowflakes outside.

He finished drinking the cold soup, put down the bowl, and glanced at Miyano Shiho, who still had half a bowl of soup in his hand.

Miyano Shiho also glanced at him and stretched out his hand, "Give it to me. I'll get another bowl."

Hinata's reasonable gaze fell on her face with a somewhat cold expression, and then on her bowl with more than half of the soup left.

Miyano Shiho ignored his gaze as if nothing had happened, reached out to take his bowl, and stood up neatly, "I'm going to serve the soup."

She quickly left the scene of the crime.

Miyano Akemi sat closer. She first reached out to touch Hinata's neck and chin.

This is a somewhat dangerous part, and it is somewhat dangerous for Miyano Akemi.

It is a weak point. You can feel the pulsation of the carotid artery when you touch it, and it can easily cause fatal injuries. It is a bit special for Hinata, so Miyano Akemi's movements are very slow.

As soon as she touched the skin, she felt a chill, and then she felt a slow pulsation, and subconsciously frowned.

Hinata tilted his head reasonably, without hiding or paying much attention. He raised the handle, "Restart this level and try it again?"

When he spoke, Miyano Akemi could feel his moving chin and neck still maintaining a regular pulsing feeling, and the temperature of her hands gradually warmed him.

"Play this level again?" She blinked, keenly aware of something wrong, "What's wrong with this level?"

"From this level onwards, in addition to 'enemies', there are also 'rescue targets'." Hinata stared at the screen reasonably, "I want to try again."

I see.

Miyano Akemi turned around and took a blanket from the sofa to wrap him up, and declared in advance, "I'm not very good at playing this kind of game."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not very good at playing," Hinata said reasonably, "You just need to control the character and follow me, the rest doesn't matter."

This means taking over two monsters.

Miyano Akemi recalled Miyano Shiho's accusation that "I only killed eleven monsters" and cleared her throat, "Okay."

The level restarted, and the howling of humanoid objects and game sound effects sounded again.

Since she didn't play games very often, Miyano Akemi first identified which character she was, and then she followed Hinata through simple operations. She then studied the gun in her hand and fired a few shots tentatively.

The game is different from reality. In reality, Miyano Akemi is not very skilled in marksmanship, but in the game, she managed to hit the mark.

Because there were so many humanoid objects, they were almost swarming over. It was not that Miyano Akemi was aiming at them, but that they were actively hitting the muzzle of the gun.

But it's useless to hit with a gun.

When Miyano Akemi hit, some humanoid objects splashed out a beautiful red liquid from their heads, and fell down weakly. They were pushed away and stepped on by other humanoid objects, and finally disappeared and were submerged.

In the wave of humanoid objects.

The faint condemnation of "I only killed eleven monsters" echoed in her ears. Miyano Akemi glanced at Hinata Riko who was working hard, and then glanced at Miyano Shiho who came out of the kitchen quietly.

Miyano Shiho nodded heavily and expressed with his eyes: So possessive.

With such a strong possessive streak, Hinata regards all monsters that appear or do not appear in her field of vision as her own property, or as responsibilities.

He automatically accepted the mission of destroying every monster, without even realizing that he had companions with whom he could work together to eliminate the monsters.

After thinking about it, Miyano Akemi corrected herself: It wasn't that she didn't realize that she had a companion, but that she regarded the other companion as an existence that needed protection, and asked anyone to "follow me" as long as they had legs.

So here comes the question. Hinata Reason has said before that she "played a similar game with Gin." Will Gin be a protected character who doesn't fire a single shot and only follows Hinata Reason?

The cold and stern man with silver hair and black trench coat appeared in her mind. Miyano Akemi gathered her thoughts and continued to look at the screen.

The wave of humanoid objects is not endless. As a group of humanoid objects are eliminated, the game temporarily goes quiet, and there are only broken walls and mottled blood stains on the screen.

Hinata reasonably quickened the character's pace, saying simply and to the point, "Follow me."

Miyano Shiho sat on the mat with a full cup of cold soup. She looked at the screen and said, "You want to save those two humans?"

What humans?

The next second, in the background sound that was so quiet that the sound of footsteps was a little heavy, Miyano Akemi heard a gunshot from close range.

She immediately turned around and saw a human-shaped object falling from a building. It landed heavily on the ground. In the scattered dust, a round object rolled into the ruins of the building.

There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of that building. At this time, a figure leaned out of the window, and subtitles popped up at the bottom of the game screen.

【Help me!】

In the corner of the subtitles hangs a half-portrait of the speaker, a woman with blood on her face and a frightened expression.

The next second, the humanoid objects on the back of the building were revealed. They were almost piled up on the back of the building, stepping on each other and climbing up, just wanting to climb to the highest point to enjoy their victims.

Originally, they cannot be seen from the perspective of the game character, but as the victim moves, their positions also move, and their figures stepping on each other appear on the screen.

At the same time, a group of humanoid objects appeared not far away again. They roared and attacked decisively.

Miyano Akemi's attention was withdrawn from the subtitles. She glanced at Hinata and found that he did not pour out his firepower immediately. Instead, he frowned and thought.

After thinking for several seconds, he fired.

The first thing to splash red was not the group of humanoid objects on the ground, but the high-rise humanoid objects that were trying to reach the victim.

They scrambled to reach out and try to climb to the high-rise building where humans lived. The moment they randomly touched the building, they also touched the blood spattered by themselves, so they fell down weakly and fell heavily to the ground.

After all the humanoid objects on the top floor fell, the humanoid objects not far away on the ground began to fall with blood splashing on them. Hinata turned around again to deal with the humanoid objects upstairs.

His protection target is no longer only the game character controlled by Miyano Akemi, but also the woman upstairs.

Miyano Shiho stared at the progress of the game. She explained aloud, "There are two survivors upstairs, one female and one male. They are mother and child. During the last round of clearance, the female was captured by the 'evolver'

He was hurt, so he entrusted the child to us."

She moved her eyes to look at Hinata Reasonably, "Do you think it's too troublesome to take care of a child, so you reprinted?"

This idea is very abnormal, but it is very organizational. Miyano Shiho speculated based on this.

Hinata reasonably did not refute and responded, "Yeah."

He turned around from time to time and cleared the level again without the survivors upstairs being injured.

Subtitles popped up, and the lady who had just asked for help thanked her again in English. She held her child in her arms, said three or four words of gratitude with great gratitude, and also explained an important message: there is a base nearby.

Ms. Survivor felt that since Hinata was so powerful, she might as well go to the base and get help from the base.

When she was explaining this, the child who had been holding on to her clothes and hiding behind her spoke up. He hesitated and said that there were not good people in the base, and that he and his mother were just thrown out.

Bait'.

"For weak people like us, the base..." Ms. Survivor paused and explained, "But for two strong people like us, the base will definitely provide help!"

She said: "The guns you two seem to have been overused, should they be replaced?"

When the subtitles popped up, Miyano Shiho, who played from beginning to end, was very vocal and said: "I only fired fifty shots, and I didn't overuse it."

She made a faint judgment, "It's a fixed saying in the game, and it's not smart at all."

Hinata was reasonable and had no consciousness of being condemned. He simply defined the information provided by the survivor lady, "Oh, it's an item supply point."

He explained to the two Miyanos who had never lived in this special world, "The base is a temporary supply point. As long as the moving ones are cleared away, a small amount of inventory can be replenished, but the speed must be fast, otherwise humanoid objects

They will come to seize the base, and we must lay out the firepower of the base before they arrive in order to eliminate them."

“Not only were one-time supplies obtained,” he concluded, “but humanoid objects were also eliminated.”

"It's a good supply point for items."

Miyano Akemi: "...?"

She hesitated and repeated the key message, "'Just clear out the ones that can move'...?"

"Wait, does it mean the humans in the base?"

Is this the correct way to use the base?!

"..." Hinata paused for a few seconds and corrected herself, "Sorry, the game is in the first year of the mutation. It's not a good time to claim the base."

Taking into account Miyano Akemi's acceptance, he suggested, "It's almost enough to take over the base in the tenth year of the mutation. At that time, the humans in the base were actually 'humanoid objects', they just had brains, and there was no essential difference."

"Should we go get the one-time supplies at that time?"

His tone was a little cautious, as if he was afraid of "no way", Miyano Akemi could hear it.

After saying this, Hinata added rationally, "I won't get it often. I will get it after my hatred reaches a certain amount. It can just wipe out the hatred and grudges."

The so-called hatred value refers to: being harassed, pursued, ambushed and set up by the base to a certain extent.

A base that allows Hinata to reasonably and continuously increase his hatred value is definitely not a good base. He hates humanoid objects and will definitely get rid of those 'humanoid objects' that occupy real human sanctuaries.

Those 'humanoid objects' in the base are really similar to real humanoid objects. They can also 'eat' people and eat up the lives, feelings, and living space of other survivors in order to nourish themselves.

There is only one difference between them and real humanoid objects: they have brains.

Hinata is reasonably responsible for resolving this difference.

"Yeah," Miyano Akemi suppressed his hesitation and gave a natural reply, "Okay."

She glanced at the game screen and asked, "Continue playing?"

"No," Hinata moved her wrist reasonably, "Hit me again."

He stared at the screen, his pupils slightly raised, "I'll try to save only one person this time."

Only save one person?

Miyano Akemi looked over in surprise, saw his slightly erect pupils, and immediately found that he was in a particularly serious state.

"The base excludes them. Unless they show their strength, they can only act alone outside," Hinata said reasonably and seriously, "In this case, the children are a drag."

"Let's do it again, try to save only adults."
