Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Bourbon reacted quickly, his wrist slashing out like a fish, and he turned his head to dodge Chu Ming's attack. The two fought back and forth in the narrow alley, but in the end, Chu Ming was the one who prevailed and knocked Bourbon down.

He sent the self-introduction of Bourbon, which he had just recorded in the system, along with a photo of Bourbon knocked unconscious on the ground, and his location, to the person on his phone whose contact was labeled "Team Leader - Rye," and then waited for his next instructions.

With Gin absent, according to the theory of the two being arch-rivals, Shuichi Akai should be the head of the organization's action group, right?

Anyway, he didn't really believe Bourbon's claims about being an undercover agent. But whether Bourbon was really an undercover agent or not, he just wanted to use this incident to make himself more secure in the organization.

In the original world, he chose not to report Bourbon after learning that Bourbon was an undercover agent because he was very secure in the organization, wanted to recruit a subordinate to help him with missions, and with him keeping Bourbon in check, he knew that Bourbon couldn't cause any major trouble.

Here, he had only recently joined the organization, and this was the only way he could gain more trust.

It's a pity about Bourbon. If he really is an undercover agent, then we can only say sorry. In the future, we'll burn more paper money for Bourbon during holidays.

However, he is more inclined to believe that Bourbon said those words in an attempt to deceive him, since it's impossible for Conan to be black while Bourbon remains red.

A moment later, the roar of an engine came from nearby, and a red Ford Mustang GT500 stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Shuichi Akai, dressed in a long black trench coat with his long, jet-black hair cascading down his back and wearing his ever-present beanie, glanced sharply at Tooru Amuro lying on the ground and gave a sneer.

"Carry him on your back and get him in the car."

Tsk, ever since he became the organization's heir, even Gin doesn't treat him like that anymore, damn it!

Chu Ming bent down, grabbed Amuro Tooru by one arm, and dragged him toward the car.

Why carry it? Just delay it.

Shuichi Akai watched Chu Ming dragging the body like a corpse, pursed his lips, and a hint of schadenfreude seemed to flash in his eyes, but he did not raise any objections.

Riding in Shuichi Akai's car, Chu Ming arrived at the familiar Base No. 3.

The place was familiar, the way to contact him was familiar, but the people around him were a little unfamiliar.

Shuichi Akai stood still and pressed the button to contact the BOSS. What appeared on the screen was no longer the fat crow that Chu Ming recognized. Instead, it was a silhouette wearing a top hat. The more Chu Ming looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. This should be the image of the Dark Baron that Shinichi Kudo's father wrote about before.

So the boss here...

Could it be Shinichi Kudo's father, Yusaku Kudo?

Wouldn't that shatter his dream of becoming the organization's successor again?

After all, there's Conan around...

hateful! !

After arriving at the base, Amuro Tooru was dragged along the way. He had actually been awake for a while, but he felt like he had been caught off guard and didn't want to talk.

Once the connection was established, Kudo Yusaku on the other side of the screen was speechless as he heard Chu Ming standing to the side repeating Amuro Tooru's words, and even producing a recording of what Amuro Tooru had said.

Amuro Tooru came to the organization with Miyano Elena when he was a child and grew up in the organization. At that time, Kudo Yusaku was thinking about the future, so he sent Amuro Tooru to attend the police academy. As a result, after graduating from the police academy, the kid returned to the organization without a word, saying that he joined the Public Security Bureau and that the Public Security Bureau arranged for him to infiltrate the organization!

Fortunately, double agents have their advantages; at least several undercover agents in the organization were tricked out of their positions this way.

Unexpectedly, we've run into a tough opponent this time.

With the BOSS's personal testimony, Amuro Tooru was untied by Chu Ming and stood up angrily. He had just been dragged by Chu Ming, and his pants were worn raw. If the journey hadn't been short, they might have torn!

However, after this setback, Amuro Tooru believed Chu Ming's identity. After all, in that situation, if Chu Ming really was an undercover agent, he would not have notified the organization after taking him down, but would have handed him over to the police.

Chu Ming was praised by the BOSS, ignored Bourbon's poisonous gaze, and leisurely left the base.

[I'll update the main text tomorrow, really! I swear! So can I ask for some flowers? QAQ]

Chapter 410 Sister, I saw Shinichi Kudo!

When Chu Ming was brought to the organization's hospital by Gin in the middle of the night, he was already somewhat delirious. He was almost instinctively dragged along by Gin. Lafitte happened to be there looking for some medicine. When he saw Chu Ming being half-dragged in by Gin, he stepped forward in confusion and asked.

"What happened to Granburg? Why does he look so disheveled?"

Lafitte's tone was somewhat gloating. He was used to seeing Granbury jumping around like a monkey, but now that he looked so listless, he couldn't help but want to mock him.

“He had a fever and was buried in the blankets. I dug him out; if he hadn’t come out, he probably would have burned to death inside.” Gin casually tossed the half-carried man to Lafitte. “I have a mission to complete. Perfect timing, you take him to see him.”

Gin was on a mission and called Chu Ming to ask for his help, but he couldn't help and ended up wasting time taking Chu Ming to the hospital. Luckily, he ran into Laffitte, so Gin quickly shifted the blame to her. Otherwise, he would have had to ask Vodka to take care of Chu Ming.

Lafitte instinctively caught the person who was thrown to him, and watched as Gin turned and left as if he had thrown away a hot potato, and he couldn't stop him no matter how much he called.

Helplessly, he turned his head to look at Chu Ming, whose body was burning hot even through his clothes. Resignedly, he took him to the ward and gave him an IV to bring down the fever. Heaven knows that he had just finished a mission and was on his way to the organization's hospital to get some poison. Otherwise, who would wander around the organization's hospital in the middle of the night?

Watching the speed at which the medicine dripped, Lafit estimated the time it would take to finish. He turned over and lay down on the bed next to Chu Ming. He had been working on missions for several nights in a row and was exhausted. He fell into a deep sleep in an instant.

When Chu Ming was woken up by the alarm clock, he felt pain in the back of his left hand.

Is Gin reliable or not? The IV drip is finished and no one's even bothering to remove the needle? The blood is practically flowing back into the tube...

Chu Ming removed the needle with one hand, looked at Lafitte, who was half-asleep and half-sitting up on the next bed, and blinked blankly: "How come it's you? I remember Gin brought me out, right? Or am I delirious from the fever and remembering wrong?"

Lafitte yawned. At this moment, all his ethereal aura had vanished. Even his exquisite features couldn't hide his haggard appearance. He reached out and touched Chu Ming's forehead to check his temperature: "Gin dumped you on me and went to do his own mission. Your fever broke quickly, and it's breaking down just as fast."

Chu Ming coughed lightly, leaned against the headboard, and lowered his voice to try to recreate the hoarse feeling from before: "Really? I still feel a bit uncomfortable in my throat."

Lafitte didn't suspect anything. He got up and drew back the curtains: "It's past six o'clock. I'll go buy you some breakfast. Your throat isn't feeling well, so have some porridge."

???

"No—no~" Chu Ming sat up abruptly, his voice rising for a moment before dropping to a low pitch, managing to sing the two words in both high and low registers. He coughed a few times to cover his embarrassment, "Can't you have something else? I don't want to drink porridge."

"If it's not okay, it's not okay. Why are you getting so worked up?" Lafitte had been pulling the curtains with her back to him and didn't see him suddenly sit up. "So what do you want to eat? Logically speaking, rice porridge would be best for someone in your condition."

Chu Mingcai didn't want to drink porridge. He had seen Conan's hospital meals before—plain white porridge, bland and tasteless, which didn't look appetizing.

"Barbecue? Ramen? Hot pot? Or..." Chu Ming counted on his fingers.

Lafitte walked straight out: "Let's have plain porridge then."

"Then bring back some fruit!" Chu Ming called out to Lafitte's retreating figure.

-

Chu Ming tossed and turned in bed for half an hour, but instead of seeing Lafitte who was gone forever, he was greeted by Vermouth, who had come to visit him after receiving the news.

When Vermouth came in carrying a bunch of things, Chu Ming was bored on the bed playing with origami using sticky notes from the bedside table. The bedside table was piled with random things folded from paper, such as airplanes, boats, and pigs.

"Are you planning to set up a stall and sell handicrafts?" Vermouth teased him.

"No one else is qualified to buy something I made myself." Speaking of handmade items, Chu Ming suddenly remembered the chocolates from before. He pretended to reach into his bag, which he had packed at the time, and then took out a chocolate gift box he had made from his system inventory. "Oh, right, sister, I made these myself. They're for you!"

Vermouth raised an eyebrow, took the box, and smelled a rich chocolate aroma: "You made this chocolate? It's not a holiday, why are you giving me chocolate?"

Chu Ming nestled in bed, his face full of sincerity: "I did this when I went out with that detective's family last time. Sister, let me tell you, I saw Shinichi Kudo. I suspect he's not dead."

Vermouth was about to open the package when she heard this and stopped. She was silent for a while, and then, as if she felt that this reaction was not right, she smiled and said, "Maybe it's the situation I mentioned last time. Maybe it's the FBI in disguise trying to confuse the organization."

Chu Ming shook his head, looking at the large amount of points on the system panel with a serious expression: "No, I don't think so. This Shinichi Kudo looks just like the real one. This chocolate was made when I went to Fukito Villa with them. Based on their interactions and the things they said, I think this person is Shinichi Kudo."

Vermouth steadied herself, knowing that Conan must have taken some kind of drug from Ai Haibara, temporarily turning into Shinichi Kudo. She estimated that once Chu Ming came out of the hospital, he would turn back into Conan.

She's now certain that Sherry is Ai Haibara. Calvados will arrive in Japan tomorrow, and once he does, she'll set off to get rid of Sherry.

Once Sherry dies, Conan will no longer become Shinichi Kudo. As long as he doesn't appear in front of Chu Ming again, there shouldn't be a big problem.

Vermouth tried to change the subject: "I found Sherry's trail. I'll be able to kill that traitor in a few days. You just focus on getting better. By the time you recover, Sherry will probably be taken care of too."

???

How could we not bring him along for such an important event?

"I want to go too! I can help my sister snipe!" Chu Ming sat up straight, trying to join in.

"You should stay put. You're not feeling well these days, so don't wander around. Calvados's plane ticket for tomorrow, he'll come and help me with that." Vermouth pushed Chu Ming back against the wall and shoved a freshly peeled apple into his hand. "Have an apple, be good."

"..." Chu Ming watched Vermouth's hurried departure, knowing she was trying to make him forget the topic they had just discussed, but...

If we don't let him come along, will he just stay put?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Chapter 411 Full Moon - The Beginning

Chu Ming stayed at the organization's hospital for several days before leaving. In fact, he had already recovered, but he pretended to be sick at first in order to mess with Lafitte.

When he finally had enough of being fed white porridge three times a day by Lafitte and insisted on being discharged from the hospital, he was stopped by Lafitte and Rum, who had come to visit him.

As expected, the law of cause and effect works every time.

Lafitte hadn't slept well for the past two days because she was taking care of Chu Ming. Chu Ming would lie in bed during the day and sleep when he was bored, but he would start bothering her in the middle of the night, asking for stories, fruit, water, and so on.

Lafitte had been holding a grudge for a long time. Even though he knew Chu Ming was better, he still deliberately bought him tasteless white porridge three times a day until Lafitte had to go on a mission and didn't have time to keep an eye on Chu Ming.

During the time Chu Ming was in the hospital, Shinichi Kudo called once because he wanted to visit Chu Ming at home but found that Chu Ming was not home.

Chu Ming told him that he had developed a fever again, so he called Watanabe Kazuta in the middle of the night and asked him to take him to the hospital. He said he was fine.

Shinichi Kudo originally wanted to visit him, but because Chu Ming had been gone for three days, the effects of the drug wore off, and he was forced to turn back into Conan. In addition, he received an invitation from Vermouth to a Halloween party that was out of season, but the letter began with "Dear Conan Edogawa"...

This means that someone in that organization already knows his identity, and he can no longer involve Chu Ming, so he hasn't visited Chu Ming during this period.

In addition, Ai Haibara, for some reason, was said by the professor to have caught a chill when she went to the third floor to look at the stars with a telescope the night before last, and has been coughing at home for the past few days.

Even after the doctor saw a new doctor, his condition did not improve, and he seemed very depressed. I wonder if it was because he had been staying at home with a cold.

Kogoro Mouri also received an invitation...

Things all piled up at once, and Conan didn't have much time to visit Chu Ming in the hospital. He only managed to make a phone call to him when he had a spare moment.

Chu Ming didn't care; he was thinking about how to maximize his own interests in this main storyline.

Even though Vermouth doesn't include him, he can still have fun on his own! And if possible, he could rescue the organization's valuable snipers. It wouldn't be good if he inherited the organization later, only to find that the snipers have been almost all used up when he wants to do a mission...
