Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

"Be sure to come next time!" the girls shouted.

"it is good!"

Hagiwara, who was very popular among the girls, smiled brightly, waved at them, and soon left with four other friends including Furuya Rei.

Bai Jiu followed at a distance at the end of the crowd. When he saw this scene, his expression, which was already not very good in the training ground, became even uglier.

The rejection and irritation in his eyes could be seen even by Rabbit, who was not emotionally synchronized with him.

What's more, at this moment, he empathized again.

He felt a greater and stronger sense of unwillingness - this unwillingness made his entire heart seem to be blocked by weeds, and those weeds grew more and more, and grew faster and faster, eventually turning into a dense abyss, filling his entire chest.

The rabbit put his hand over his heart and frowned.

He has always been carefree and doesn't understand why people care so much about trivial matters. Isn't it uncomfortable to be like this all the time? Isn't it tiring?

As the rabbit felt increasingly depressed, he thought of the movie "The Bride of Halloween".

Conan's later theatrical versions have different important characters every year. In that poster, Furuya Rei is standing in the middle, so could he be one of the protagonists of this movie?

Baijiu doesn't like his girlfriend to like any male star. On the surface, he doesn't object, nor dares to object, but behind the scenes, he will retaliate by photoshopping all kinds of disgusting pictures of those male stars.

What if his girlfriend likes the male characters in Conan?

Originally they were just paper people, but now, those people appeared before his eyes alive... How would he feel and what attitude would he have towards them?

The rabbit suddenly had a bad feeling.

This clip is quite long and has not been cut to yet. After the five people left the police academy, Baijiu also walked out of the school gate, and Rabbit followed.

After passing a convenience store, Rabbit saw him take out a ring from his pocket and put it on his hand, and then gently touched it to open the system pop-up window.

Rabbit had seen him open a pop-up window in the bookstore before, but he couldn’t see the content clearly at that time, let alone the corresponding demon.

And now, he could see it clearly.

Unlike his and Aoyagi Binkou's demons which had human form, Baijiu's demon looked a bit like a whale, with hard scales on its body, spikes extending from its belly, and system pop-ups on its back.

Bai Jiu clicked on the task. As a player on the red side, he, like the black side, had tasks to complete before he could pass the game.

[Mission: Let more than half of the police academy team survive to the end (5/3)

Details: You have been living in resentment for a long time, are you arrogant and extremely inferior, are you willing to save someone who is better than you? 】

rabbit:"…………"

...This kind of detailed description seems to be provoking, right? Is the system deliberately stabbing the player wherever he feels pain?

He was stunned for a second, then thought of himself and his teammates.

His mission had not yet been generated, but Aoyagi Hikari seemed to have one, but he did not ask what it was. Could the black player's mission details also be this mocking...

Baijiu became even more unhappy and he closed the task with a gloomy face.

This time, the rabbit who understood him a little bit moved his eyes upwards, first saw Baijiu's active and passive skills, and then, he finally saw his ID.

--envy.

"..."

The rabbit, who had empathized with all the emotions before, had a feeling of "as expected".

The person with the ID of jealousy has to save others, or save people who are better than themselves... Can such a task really be completed safely...

Rabbit covered his face and sighed again, feeling that his future was bleak. He turned his head to ask when his demons would end. He was worried that if he continued, Aoyagi Binguang would wait there for too long.

But at this moment, he heard a sudden female scream not far away.

"Help! Someone is kidnapping!!!"

Baijiu also heard the cry for help, he raised his head to determine the direction the sound came from. Just as he was about to lift his feet, the next second, he was stuck back to the ground by the sound of gunfire.

He stood there, hesitation showing on his face.

——Not everyone is willing to be brave and do what is right. Sometimes, saving people may not only not be appreciated, but may even harm yourself.

For some reason, this thought suddenly flashed through Rabbit's mind. He felt a sharp pain in his brain, and in the blur, it seemed as if some fragments flashed by quickly.

The rabbit shook his head vigorously, not knowing why he had such a cold thought.

If it were in reality, it would be a different story, as some scenes are not something ordinary people can handle; but in the game, they have a protective aura that makes them immune to most physical injuries.

While Baijiu was standing there in a daze, figures passed by him one after another, rushing towards that place without hesitation. Only the last one stopped beside Baijiu.

It was Hagiwara, the boy who greeted the girl before.

At this time, Hagiwara no longer had a gentle smile on his face. Instead, he was quite serious: "Bai Jiu, quickly go back and inform the instructor that there are armed robbers here! Leave this to us!"

After saying that, he also ran forward.

"..."

Bai Jiu stared at his back in a daze and stood there for a second. Instead of returning to the police academy, he followed him directly.

"Shirojiu?" Hagiwara was startled.

"Don't think that you are the only ones who can do it!" Baijiu gritted his teeth.

The six people arrived quickly. A van with its doors open was parked at the entrance of the alley. A woman with bright red hair was kneeling on the ground with tears on her face. Her legs seemed to be broken, and it was obvious that she was the one calling for help.

In front of her, a tall bald man held a gun in one hand and grabbed her hair, trying to drag her into the car.

The robber seemed to have not expected that her cry could attract so many people to help her. He stared at them with wide eyes, raised his gun at them and pulled the trigger.

The place he aimed at was exactly where Bai Jiu was standing. Fūya Ling's pupils shrank, and he reacted the fastest, shouting, "Be careful!!"

Unfortunately, his reminder was not faster than the bullet.

After a gunshot, Baijiu, who had the halo of protection of a time traveler in Rabbit's heart, fell heavily to the ground.

Blood spread across his abdomen where he was hit.

----

Excellent people are easily liked by others, but they also attract the jealousy of others. I have seen too many sixth people who become close friends with the five people, so I want to change the angle and write about a little person with a darker side.

I'm going to be busy this week, and the updates may be unstable. My boss is ***(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Chapter 27: The Sin of Jealousy (Part )

The next scene gradually sinks into darkness.

After going through this several times, the rabbit finally gained some experience. He knew that what was happening was not a switching of clips, but because the owner of the memory, Baijiu, was seriously injured and his consciousness was beginning to become confused.

A black space appeared in front of me, which was the place where I communicated with the system before crossing.

The demon, which looked a bit like a whale, carried a system pop-up window. It did not have the four familiar icons of [Character], [Group Chat], [Rules], and [Answer]. Instead, it only had one very simple sentence:

[You have died, please choose the resurrection method: resurrect in place or move to a safe area and resurrect. 】

Rabbit didn't expect that the blow just now would kill Baijiu directly, and the person involved even shouted out the common question of the two on the spot:

"Why didn't the protective aura work?!"

[Because you are not facing an ordinary NPC this time. ]

Seeing this sentence, Baijiu was stunned; and Rabbit was also stunned for a moment, then remembered the identity of the tall bald man.

Asama Yasuji!

One of the dead people who appeared in the Hokutosei train arc of the original work!

Some episodes of Conan are very classic and were played repeatedly on TV when I was a kid, including this case. Rabbit has watched it many times and has a very deep memory of it - even if it is one of the robbers who didn't appear much, he can quickly recall the identity of the other party.

After realizing the other party's identity, the rabbit understood something.

Sure enough, the next sentence from the system directly verified his guess.

[The player's protective aura is not effective for the original characters. Now please choose your resurrection method. ]

Rabbit looked at Baijiu's face and it darkened. He felt an irrepressible anger in his heart. "Resurrect where you are."

After he said that, the darkness around him quickly receded like the tide, and a dazzling light shone down, along with it, a smell of a hospital.

Before the rabbit's eyes could adjust to the sudden light, a scream frightened him and his body trembled.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

It was Baijiu who screamed. He was lying on the operating table, his abdomen cut open by a scalpel. A bullet was half-buried in the bright red flesh, emitting a cold glow under the light of the operating room.

The rabbit, who had never experienced any bloodshed, took a step back in fear, his stomach churning. But the next scene made him open his eyes wide again.

The bullet seemed to suddenly have self-awareness and began to slowly squeeze out of the flesh and blood bit by bit, falling to the ground with a clink.

——During the whole process, it seemed that only Baijiu felt it and the rabbit next to him saw it. The doctor and nurse in charge of the operation seemed to have pressed the pause button on time, and maintained their original movements in unison.

The scene before their eyes was as strange as it could be. They were not awakened until the bullets fell.

The doctor holding the surgical forceps stared blankly at the bloody hole. Another doctor standing opposite him accused him, "How did you drop it?"

"Doctor, doctor! The patient is awake!" The nurse noticed Bai Jiu's open eyes.

"What?!" The doctor was shocked, his eyes widened, "Didn't he get anesthesia?"

“We obviously used it!!”

Baijiu was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream. His head was covered in cold sweat, his neck was tilted back, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and his entire eyes seemed to have turned red.

Rabbit was trembling all over as he watched, and he suddenly realized what the system meant when it said "it will not block any feelings".

——This is the price to pay for resurrection.

The nurse quickly injected Bai Jiu with an anesthetic, and his ferocious look gradually subsided and he fell into a deep sleep.

It was not until he fell into a coma that this long set of images began to distort.

……

This time, the ward appeared in front of him. Baijiu was lying on the bed in a hospital gown, without a blanket covering him, and there was a bandage under his slightly opened clothes.

Rabbit realized that this was the scene after Baijiu completed the emergency surgery.

The door of the ward was open, and voices could be heard from afar. Rabbit looked at Baijiu, then looked outside the door, and walked over tentatively.
