Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Hearing this, Professor Agasa suddenly felt a little guilty: "Hehe, since you weren't here, I only tried a little bit, not much. Okay, Ai, I'm going to sleep now, you should go to sleep early too, hahaha..."

Professor Agasa chuckled twice, then, fearing Ai Haibara would scold him, quickly retreated back into his room.

Ai Haibara sat on the sofa for a while, then slowly walked up to the top floor and sat in front of the window, looking at the stars through the telescope.

She was sent back to the organization, where she might be killed on the spot, or she might become an experimental subject, locked up in the laboratory day and night, never seeing the light of day again.

Having once worked as a lab technician, she had seen what those experimental subjects looked like, but she had always loathed them and therefore rarely allowed them to be used. But now—

After sitting there for a long time, a soft knocking sound came from the window next to me.

It's Chu Ming.

Ai Haibara went forward, opened the window, and let Chu Ming in.

Chu Ming held a small bag in his hand, took out a can of ether from it, and poured it onto a handkerchief: "Don't worry, I will try my best to bring you out unharmed, trust me."

Tears welled up in Ai Haibara's eyes: "No, Chu Ming-ge, don't risk your life for me!"

Chu Ming smiled gently and reached out to rub Ai Haibara's head: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. There's no way I'd bring you out of here. I've already talked to Granburg and Vermouth. They helped me before, and if the organization doesn't want to know that they held back during the full moon raid, they'll definitely choose to help me."

Ai Haibara shook her head vigorously: "Brother Chu Ming, no, they're all members of the organization. You've been in the organization for so long, you should know that even if they compromise temporarily when threatened, they'll find a way to get rid of the person who holds their secrets! Don't do something so dangerous!!"

"Do you think I'm Conan? I know my limits. How could I possibly persuade them to take action over something so trivial? I must have other benefits to offer." Chu Ming raised his hand and gently covered Ai Haibara's mouth and nose with the handkerchief in his hand.

A wave of drowsiness washed over her, and Ai Haibara raised her hand to try to pull away, but it fell limply to her side. In her hazy consciousness, she vaguely heard the person beside her speak in a low but unusually firm voice: "...I will protect you, I promise."

No, you can't, Brother Chu Ming, you can't do something foolish—

Her hands hung limply at her sides, and she had completely lost consciousness.

While she was in a daze, Chu Ming checked her points and favorability again, but when he felt that the points were not increasing at all, he left her behind, casually cleaned up the traces he had left behind, picked her up and left through the window.

Once inside the car, with no one around, Chu Ming fed Ai Haibara another sleeping pill.

He can directly change his appearance using points because his body was created by the system, and naturally, it can also be freely modified by the system.

But others definitely wouldn't be able to do it, so he spent a long time browsing the store. The high-end items were too expensive, with the most expensive costing millions of points, and even the slightly more advanced ones cost two or three hundred thousand.

Although he has accumulated a lot of points now and hasn't used them much, he still spent so much just to help Ai Haibara clear her name...

Chu Ming felt this wouldn't do; it was too painful for him to part with the money. So he patiently browsed through the online store, and finally found one that was both cheap and useful.

He once asked San San if the items in the system shop came from all the worlds, including all sorts of strange planets, some fantastical, some not, some high-tech, some stream-of-consciousness, and so on.

This time, what he set his sights on was a low-quality nano-micro plastic surgery robot and an operating device.

By simply placing this tiny robot inside the body and operating it on a controller, one can alter a person's face shape, body shape, and even fingerprints. If blood is prepared in advance, it can even change the blood type, and under the machine's protection, no hemolytic reaction will occur.

However, the downside is also obvious: it hurts a lot, extremely painful.

It's like the kind of pain that's like having blood drawn, bones scraped, and flesh cut off a person's body.

Therefore, after the new painless version was released, no one wanted to use this inferior version anymore, and the system store only required 1000 points.

Anyway, it wasn't for his own use. In addition, he spent a lot of money to buy a "Sleepyhead" from the store's medicine section. As the name suggests, it's the kind of medicine that will keep you awake even if the sky falls down. It cost 200 points.

As for whether Ai Haibara felt pain in her sleep, Chu Ming was powerless to do anything about it. He had done all he could, and all he could do was let her bear the pain.

Chu Ming led the person to the safe house that had been soaked in his blood earlier. Although it was disgusting, he couldn't very well go and mess with another one, could he?

Upon opening the door, a strong smell of blood wafted out.

The place was exactly as he had left it last time. Blood was everywhere on the carpet and even on the walls. But for some reason, the blood, which had been left several months ago, still looked fresh. He had taken some of the blood for tissue testing before, but the results were normal, just like normal blood.

So when blood was needed, Chu Ming immediately thought of this.

He placed Ai Haibara on the relatively clean sofa, took out the blood container provided by the system, and then equipped the cloak skin. Blood dripped into the container, and it was full in no time.

Following the system's instructions, Chu Ming inserted the extraction and infusion tubes into Ai Haibara's body, then placed the robot inside her body and fine-tuned her facial features. Although her face was still the same, upon closer inspection, it looked completely different from before.

He then removed all the fingerprints and scars and birthmarks from her body. He also casually placed a dark red birthmark on her shoulder to completely distinguish her from Shirley.

That way, even if Gin suddenly becomes face-blind, he can still tell that this is not Sherry.

Seeing that even in her sleep, Ai Haibara's body was twitching unintentionally, and her brows were tightly furrowed, Chu Ming sighed softly.

Oh, I misspoke before, he really is a good person.

Considering the hundreds of thousands of points Ai Haibara provided him, he might as well be busy.

Chapter 493 Anatomy?

After the modifications were complete, Chu Ming carefully put the robot into his system inventory. It was worth 1000 points, so he had to keep it safe so he wouldn't have to buy another one when he needed to bring Ai Haibara back later.

Looking disdainfully at the safe house that had once again been baptized in blood, Chu Ming picked up Ai Haibara from the sofa and hopped out, one step at a time, to prevent his shoes from being stained with blood.

With Ai Haibara, who had undergone a complete makeover, in the car, Chu Ming drove directly to the base.

Because Gin had been notified in advance, he was sitting on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth, flipping through documents, while a vodka was sitting upright next to him, seemingly posing for a photo.

On the other side of the sofa sat Potter, who had been called over late at night to work. His handsome face looked somewhat haggard, and he had large dark circles under his eyes, which were particularly noticeable because of his fair skin, unlike Bourbon.

"Yo, Potter, long time no see~" Chu Ming carried Ai Haibara in one hand and waved perfunctorily to everyone with the other. "Good evening, big brother. Vodka's here too. Potter, are you getting ready to join Audition Online? You've even put on smoky makeup?"

Potter's eyes widened in confusion for a moment. He had never seen Chu Ming without disguise, but this sarcastic tone made him immediately recognize the person in front of him: "Granbury?"

"Yeah~" Chu Ming pinched his cheek, trying to mislead, "How was the disguise this time? Does this face look good?"

"It's beautiful, but it's still fake." Potter yawned. He had heard that Granbury and Vermouth had learned about disguise, so he didn't pay much attention. He just looked at Ai Haibara in Chu Ming's hand: "Is this the child I'm going to dissect today?"

An autopsy? Didn't Gin say he wanted to take a look?

Chu Ming was startled, but he didn't show it on his face. He simply raised an eyebrow: "Do we still need to dissect it?"

"Why did you call me here if you're not going to dissect it?" Porter yawned repeatedly, clearly exhausted. "When Gin called me here, he told me to bring all my tools. Isn't it just for dissection? My lab is very busy. Hurry up."

Chu Ming turned his gaze to Gin. Gin had stubbed out his cigarette on the table when Chu Ming came in, and gestured with his chin, indicating that Chu Ming should put it here: "Let me see."

Chu Ming carried the man over, then kicked the vodka man next to him, signaling him to move.

After he moved aside, Chu Ming placed Ai Haibara on the sofa, reached out and pinched the unconscious Ai Haibara's armpits to prop her up in a half-sitting position, and turned her face directly towards Gin as if she were a doll.

"Here, let me show you."

"..."

Gin leaned back slightly, avoiding Ai Haibara who was about to be thrust into his face by Chu Ming, his eyes piercing Chu Ming's mocking expression.

Caught off guard by Potter, Chu Ming yawned as well, supporting Ai Haibara's back with his hand before settling down on the sofa, sandwiching her between himself and Gin: "Why are you glaring at me? This is much more convenient~"

Gin withdrew his gaze, reached out and pinched Ai Haibara's chin, turning it from side to side, even tugging at her cheeks a couple of times, presumably to check if she was disguised. Then he rubbed her face a couple of times with his fingertips, confirming that she wasn't wearing makeup, before signaling Potter to come over.

Seeing how meticulously Qin Jiu examined the object, Chu Ming, with an apple dangling from the coffee table, mumbled, "Would I bring back a dummy? What about the trust between us?"

Gin casually grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands, then gestured for Potter to carry Ai Haibara over, saying slowly, "Just in case."

However, it wasn't to guard against Chu Ming, but rather to prevent the FBI from taking advantage of him. He didn't hide the fact that Chu Ming was watching this little girl who resembled Sherry. It was a good opportunity to test whether there were any FBI moles still in the organization. If the little girl had been switched, it would likely mean that the information had been leaked.

However, it was clear that he had eliminated most of the undercover agents in the organization, and this girl had not undergone any disguise or makeup.

Chu Ming was still munching on his apple like a hamster when he saw Potter actually take out a knife and prepare to dissect Ai Haibara. He quickly chewed and swallowed the apple, asking, "What's the dissection for?"

Gin then turned his gaze away from the documents and realized that Potter was really ready to make his move. Veins seemed to be bulging on his forehead: "Idiot, check fingerprints and DNA!"

Porter paused, his voice tinged with resentment: "Just taking fingerprints and doing a DNA test, and you call me for this? Any of the lab's newbies could do it!"

“I suspect this is Sherry.” Gin rubbed the lighter in his hand. “You followed her around for quite a while and did experiments, so you should be quite familiar with her.”

Potter turned around in astonishment to look at Gin, as if he were listening to some unbelievable story: "This is Sherry? How is that possible?! Are you seeing things?"

Gin didn't take his reckless words to heart, but coldly said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and test it. Report the results before dawn. There's an underground laboratory at the base, go there."

Potter was speechless, but out of respect for Gin, he took out his tools to collect all the necessary materials, including blood and hair, before heading towards the elevator at the back of the living room.

"I'll have someone send me a cup of coffee later," he said casually while yawning. "Otherwise, I think I'll die of a sudden shock."

Gin gestured for Vodka to make coffee, then looked at Chu Ming, who had finished his apple and started eating nuts: "I have a task for you—"

Chu Ming jumped up and sat down in the spot where Potter had just been sitting: "No way!!! I haven't finished Vermouth's mission yet. I've been so busy lately that I haven't even had a moment to breathe, and I still have to send people to you. And you still want to exploit me!"

Gin, seemingly ignoring Chu Ming's refusal, continued, "It's the FBI. Rum said they've been active recently, you—"

"No, I'm the one who provided this information!!! Why am I still the one doing the work? I'm not doing it, I'm already so busy lately!"

Chu Ming shook his head frantically. He dumped the task on Rum, who then told Gin, and Gin gave the task to him in turn.

What kind of ridiculous closed loop is this?

He felt a strange resonance with Bourbon...

Gin, seeing Chu Ming's resistant expression, lightly tapped the documents on his lap with his knuckles: "I'm not handing it all over to you. I need your cooperation. Currently, besides you, only Bourbon in the organization is somewhat useful in terms of skill to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Akai Shuichi."

Chu Ming stroked his chin, suddenly remembering someone: "What about that girl you liked before? Is she participating this time?"

Gin pondered for a moment: "You mean Gil?"

Chu Ming nodded. Since the goal is to capture Shuichi Akai, why not bring Kir along as well?

In fact, he is not particularly opposed to such big events, after all, the first Red vs. Black battle made him a fortune.

I would really look forward to a second time.

Chapter 494 Shirley Turns into a Child

“If the FBI’s operation is confirmed, not only Kir, but Vermouth will also be involved.” Gin, a heavy smoker, couldn’t resist taking out his cigarette case, but after glancing at Chu Ming, who seemed to be eyeing him with a predatory look, he put it back.

Chu Ming coldly watched as Gin put away his cigarette case, then crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa, resting his hands on the back of the sofa in a boss-like manner: "Alright, since you've said so, I won't refuse. But I'll take charge when the time comes, okay?"
