Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Chu Ming and Haibara were eating the meal Conan had just ordered, watching the Kudo couple and Professor Agasa surrounding Conan and comforting him.

"Looking at him like this, he doesn't look like a high school student at all. Tsk, he's at least three years old." Chu Ming watched the show while eating.

Haibara swallowed the cake in her mouth and nodded in agreement.

Chapter 78 Actually, my code name is—Gin

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chu Ming made a gesture to Yusaku and Yukiko, who had finally managed to appease Conan, and they nodded in understanding.

"Shinichi, are you really not coming abroad with us? I have a friend in the UN police department. If we ask him for help, we can ask him to help us investigate the organization and get that drug soon. That way, Ms. Haibara can also help develop the antidote and restore you both to your original forms. Of course, we will also make arrangements for Ms. Haibara."

Conan, thinking of Ran's appearance, shook his head: "Don't try to persuade me. I won't agree to escape abroad." He then looked at Ai Haibara, "Haibara, do you want to..."

Ai Haibara shook her head as well. Her time with Professor Agasa had given her a different kind of care than what she experienced in the organization. She truly considered the old man as her family.

"Okay, then we'll be going. We need to catch our flight today."

As the couple hurriedly walked out, Chu Ming unexpectedly pulled out a gun from his side and accurately hit them from behind with two 'whoosh' sounds. The couple turned to look at Chu Ming in disbelief, opened their mouths to say something, but couldn't say anything before falling to the ground.

Conan was stunned by this drastic change. He looked at Chu Ming, then at the two 'corpses' on the ground that were gradually staining the carpet red, and at the pervasive smell of blood. He stood frozen in place, stammering, "Dad—Mom—"

Before Conan could react, Chu Ming shot Professor Agasa again, and then shot Ai Haibara in the leg.

Ai Haibara cried out in pain, but it sounded a bit fake. She simply put on a stoic expression and clutched her leg, blood seeping from between her fingers.

Chu Ming pressed the gun against Conan's forehead and said coldly, "I didn't expect to actually have an unexpected gain today."

He ripped off the disguise again with one hand, revealing Gin's face once more.

—This is a scheme within a scheme, a trap within a trap. You thought it was over? Actually, an even bigger 'surprise' awaits you.

“—Vodka…” Conan’s eyes seemed to be brimming with tears.

"Hmph, vodka? Wrong, my code name is—Gin." Chu Ming imitated Gin's mannerisms perfectly, and his grin was practically Gin 2.

"How did you turn into Brother Chu Ming! What did you do to him! Or—" Conan watched helplessly as his loved one collapsed in front of him, his eyes red-rimmed. Chu Ming even felt a little reluctant to bully him.

But this impulsive detective won't learn his lesson unless he's dealt with drastic measures; he'll still keep hanging around Gin. Chu Ming tried to calm himself down while trying to reassure himself.

"You mean this face?" Chu Ming shook his face off. "Hmph, this kid actually followed me secretly after seeing me. He even knows about the organization. He's pretty good at fighting, and I almost lost to him. But no matter how good your fighting skills are, can they withstand a gun?"

As Chu Ming touched up the makeup, he also embellished his own face with gold leaf.

"After I killed him, I disguised myself as him. I wanted to see who was leaking the organization's secrets. Turns out, I caught a few little rats. Hahahaha~" Chu Ming's smile gradually turned distorted.

"Brother Chu Ming too—" Conan was distraught. He thought that if he saw these men in black on the street, he would definitely follow them too. Brother Chu Ming did it all for him...

“Your turn—” Chu Ming grinned maliciously, aiming at Sherry and preparing to pull the trigger.

"Wait!" Haibara suddenly spoke up, "I developed this drug. The APTX drug research progress in the organization has probably stalled!"

Chu Ming has the image of a comedian, but at least it's not his own image that's being ruined.

"Oh, so you're thinking of abandoning the light and joining the darkness?"

Ai Haibara couldn't bear to look at him. If Gin had been like this from the beginning—well, it was unimaginable.

"Yes, I don't want to die—" Ai Haibara didn't know if she had forgotten her lines or didn't want to say such a long sentence, she lowered her head and fell silent.

"It's not impossible. You are a valuable asset to the organization. As long as you are willing to go back and continue your research, the organization is still willing to accept you back, and we'll pretend that your betrayal never happened. Of course, you must personally deal with this brat and everyone who knows his identity."

Ai Haibara stood up shakily and took the gun from Chu Ming's hand.

Chu Ming took out a remote control: "If he doesn't die, you will. After we kill him, we'll leave immediately. The organization has already planted bombs here. They'll detonate them after we leave, and no one will know that we were ever here."

Ai Haibara raised her gun and pointed it at Conan's forehead: "Sorry, Edogawa, oh no, Shinichi Kudo, everyone looks out for themselves. In the future, whether it's your Ran or that dark-skinned detective in Osaka, they will all disappear from the world tomorrow. But thank me, I won't let you see your friends die one after another, because you will go to hell before them."

Conan gritted his teeth and watched as Ai Haibara pulled the trigger.

'call out'.

He did it again, and a stream of icy water sprayed onto his forehead.

Chapter 79 Father and Son Scam Each Other

"Ah?"

Conan blinked in confusion, then blankly touched the water on his forehead before looking at Ai Haibara, who was holding a gun and tilting her head to look at him.

"You guys... you lied to me again!!!" Conan gasped for breath, his face puffed out in disbelief.

Who are these people surrounding him?!

Yukiko got up at some point, ignoring the red liquid still oozing from her body, and grabbed Conan, rubbing against him vigorously.

"Shin-chan is so cute~ Was Shin-chan sad just now~"

Conan turned his head away, completely ignoring these people with such a twisted sense of humor.

Kudo Yusaku got up again. Although it was Chu Ming's suggestion, he did not expose the person; instead, he covered for him.

"This was our idea too. If you choose to stay in Japan, we'll make an even bigger impression on you. If you still chase after men in black without thinking, just like before, then what happened today will become a reality."

Conan blinked a few times: "I know you meant well, but this kind of prank is too much! I really thought..."

Chu Ming also came over. He really squeezed a lot of money out of Conan today. He truly deserves to be called the chosen one. This emotional value made him rich overnight.

"Now that you see this face, are you still going to act rashly and follow it? You have to understand that since it's a huge organization, their counter-tracking capabilities must be very strong, otherwise they would have been captured long ago. If you impulsively follow them, you'll only expose yourself and then harm the people around you. Remember, plan before you act."

Chu Ming brought his face close to Conan's. Conan looked at this face that had been his nightmares several times, his lips twitched a few times, and he felt that he would never be able to look at it the same way again.

"You just said his codename is Gin, not Vodka?" Conan recalled what he had said earlier.

"Yes, Ai told us that the two people you met before, the one with long flowing hair is Gin, and the chubby one is Vodka. They are both members whose code names are alcoholic beverages. Gin, in particular, is an elite member of the organization, so you have to be very careful when you meet him."

Chu Ming revealed some information that Conan has not been able to receive so far because of his interference.

If Conan were to actually run into Gin one day, and solemnly exclaim, "It's vodka!" he would literally die laughing.

Conan nodded. He had been frightened twice in one day. Even the most impulsive person would be cautious after that.

Chu Ming looked at Conan, who was still somewhat shaken, and wondered if this shock would last until the day the organization assassinated him.

"You two must keep your identities a secret, Shinichi too. The more people who know your identities, the greater the danger. I heard that the detective in Osaka also knows your identities? Remember next time, don't use tranquilizer darts on strangers. If they have a high resistance to tranquilizers, it will be very dangerous," Yusaku Kudo solemnly instructed.

He was planning to go to the United States, but he still needed to ask a few of his friends to help him find out the origins of this organization.

-------------------------------------------------——————————

"What? This child wants to live in our house?" Kogoro Mouri was clearly displeased.

"Because this child really didn't want to go abroad with us, but..."

Yukiko smiled and handed Kogoro Mouri a bankbook. "This is for the child's expenses here. Please feel free to withdraw it if needed."

Seeing the string of zeros on the bankbook, Kogoro Mouri instantly became enthusiastic: "Hahaha, madam, don't worry. You can rest assured that this child is in my house. I will definitely be able to train him to become a world-class detective in the future!"

"Haha, then I'll have to trouble you. Xiao Lan, this child really likes you, so I'll have to ask you to take good care of him in the future."

Chu Ming saw Conan's face turn bright red instantly, and he stammered, unable to utter a word.

After Yukiko left, Chu Ming saw Conan chuckle coldly and make a phone call.

"Who are you talking to on the phone?" The smile was so wicked.

"Hmph, I called all the editors of my dad's novels. My dad definitely still has a lot of manuscripts to finish. I overheard him and his mom talking about traveling the world. How can I forgive them so easily after lying to me twice? You better stay home and work hard!"

Wow, you guys are really good at sabotaging each other.

Chapter 80 It's time to go on a journey

Namiko Amuro gently stroked her belly, which was not yet showing any signs of pregnancy. After three years of marriage, she and Mai had finally conceived the fruit of their love.

Mai Zi is a retired soldier who now works as a security guard at a shady distillery. They met in the United States when she was in a car accident; Mai Zi bravely rushed to her rescue and, unlike others, didn't look at her with prejudice because of her dark skin. So she bravely pursued Mai Zi and even helped him obtain Japanese citizenship.

Recalling the sweet moments they shared, Namiko Amuro smiled gently.

She checked the time; it was almost eight o'clock. Mai Zi would be off work soon. Today was her birthday, and Mai Zi would prepare a surprise for her every year.

Tonight, she will tell Mai Zi the good news during their candlelight dinner.

The doorbell rang. Hmm? Did Mai Zi bring her keys? Did she forget them today?

Namiko Amuro opened the door with a smile: "Why are you always so forgetful? You even forgot your keys—"

The scene before her eyes shocked her. The drunken Mai Zi, with a dazed and satisfied smile, half-embraced a tall and elegant woman. The woman had waist-length silver hair that shone brightly in the moonlight. Her beautiful face and aloof temperament made her look like a fairy who had flown down from the moon.

When she opened the door, the woman pried Akai's hand off and pushed him towards her, saying, "Your husband was drunk and wouldn't let go of me. I asked for his friend's address and brought him back."

"Sorry, Mai Zi might be drunk. Thank you for bringing him back. Would you like to come in and have a seat?"

"No need, I've delivered the person, I'll be leaving now." The woman didn't linger at all, turned around and left as easily as if she had shaken off something unclean.

Namiko Amuro laboriously dragged Mugi Akai to the bed and went out to fetch water for him to wash his face.

Just as she was wiping Mai Zi's face, Mai Zi slightly opened her eyes.

"Maizi, you're awake? Why did you drink so much... Didn't you say yourself that drinking is bad for your health?"

"Kotoko—don't go—"

Namiko Amuro was struck dumb. Her hand holding the towel froze in mid-air. After a long while, she softly asked, "Who is Kotoko?"

"Hmm? Kotoko—Kotoko is mine—my goddess… Hahaha, Kotoko, you're still so beautiful—"

Namiko Amuro slowly stood up, forcibly controlling her slightly trembling hands, her fingers curling up a few times.
