Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

"——There may be other people in this school who have bad intentions towards Kudo Shinichi."

……

The rabbit sighed as he finished his reminiscence. He didn't expect that his teammates had made a wrong judgment.

He finished typing a message for help to his teammates and was about to send it when suddenly his body was picked up again.

"?!"

The rabbit who was hugged by someone was confused again. His hand accidentally touched the pop-up window. Before he could send out the sentence, the whole group chat was closed and the character interface opened automatically.

The hands that held him were broad and thick, with a skin color slightly darker than that of ordinary people.

Rabbit looked at his character interface, and the content on it had changed at some point. The column for passive skills was no longer blank.

Three weeks into the game, the passive skill of [Lust] was finally generated.

[Passive Skill - Impermanence: Gain the protagonist's physique, and the probability of encountering special events and special characters will be greatly increased. ]

The rabbit raised his head. This time, the person holding him had golden hair that shone brightly in the sun, making him particularly eye-catching.

——It’s Toru Amuro.

Chapter Overhaul

Chapter 43 The Undercover Agent You Can't Provoke

"!!!"

When the rabbit saw clearly who was holding him up, his whole body stiffened.

Aoyagi Akimichi thought that the rabbit was afraid of Amuro Toru, and he was right.

Rabbit, who is currently in the black camp and wants to switch to the red camp, is actually as afraid of certain characters on the red camp as he is of Gin.

Those characters are undercover agents.

……

Bunny has only watched Conan until the Red and Black arc, and has heard from classmates about the subsequent stories and several theatrical versions.

So from the moment he entered the game, Rabbit was very clear about one fact -

It's not just the black organizations with terrorists running around everywhere, but also the agents of the intelligence agencies, especially the undercover agents, even if they are considered the red team, they are existences that he cannot afford to provoke.

Take the story of Toru Amuro as an example:

The investigation of Akai Shuichi in the Bourbon chapter may implicate another undercover agent, Mizunashi Reina. This is a mutual pitfall between undercover agents from different countries, which is understandable;

In the train chapter, Shirley was captured because other members of the organization were watching her. It was understandable that she would be soft-hearted and her undercover identity, which she had worked hard to maintain for many years, would be exposed.

Both of these are understandable, but what about Kogoro Mouri in the movie?

A former policeman, a detective who had helped the police solve cases many times (on the surface), with no blood or sin on his hands, was slandered and put in jail directly.

Being a detective is not a stable job and places great emphasis on social resources. Without anyone's commission, there is no income. His wife, Eri Kisaki, is a lawyer and runs her own law firm, so reputation is also very important to her.

Once a suspect is detained, even if the matter is clarified in time later, the impact will still exist. As the saying goes, "It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it", this saying is applicable all over the world.

Rabbit knows that being an undercover agent requires any means necessary. He admires those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, but in reality, he absolutely dares not approach them.

——Because he was afraid that he would be the next one to be sacrificed.

……

Toru Amuro has no idea about Rabbit's identity.

He didn't know that the animal in his arms had human consciousness inside its body. He had a gentle smile on his face, and after picking up the rabbit, he stroked its fur.

"..."

Rabbit looked at the undercover agent in front of him and reopened the system.

The words asking for help were still in the input box below, but looking at Toru Amuro who was so close to him, Rabbit didn't know whether to send it or not.

If I send it out now, when Aoyagi Binguang comes over later, he will inevitably meet this black-and-red boss.

Although Aoyagi Akimitsu said that the organization is very confidential and Toru Amuro/Bourbon doesn't know that he is a member of the organization, Rabbit is still worried.

One is an intelligence expert in the organization, and the other is just an ordinary member of the organization. Both are forced to wear electronic shackles on their feet that can electrocute people. In comparison, they look weak, helpless and pitiful.

Amuro Toru had no idea about the rabbit's psychological activities. Just then, two foreign students with light hair passed by. He called out to them, "Do you know where Mr. Aoyagi from the International Department is now?"

One of the foreign boys answered, his Japanese was pretty good: "Something was lost in the music classroom today, and I just saw him go to the monitoring room."

"Got it, thank you."

Amuro Toru thanked them with a smile and patted the head of the rabbit in his arms: "I will take you to find your owner now."

"..."

Rabbit looked at his kind and friendly face and began to doubt whether he had thought too badly of the undercover agent.

After all, he only heard the retelling of the plots and did not watch them himself, so they may contain other people's strong subjective opinions.

The rabbit's heart wavered, and he turned his head to look at the stairs going down not far away.

He had been staring at that place since just now, and Kudo Shinichi and Hojo and the others had not come out.

He was not sure what was going on down there. Did Hojo and the others leave from another staircase, or was Kudo Shinichi still in the cold storage? Now he had to find someone to go down and check.

So when Toru Amuro was about to carry him to the teaching building, the rabbit suddenly reached out and patted his hand.

"Ok?"

Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the rabbit again.

The rabbit raised its hand, made a gesture of picking up something, swung it on its back, kicked its legs a few times to show that it had walked a distance, hooked its left hand forward, imitating the action of opening the door, and made a big circle with both hands, indicating that the things were scattered like flowers from the sky.

At the very end, he raised his hands and pushed forward suddenly, which was the same action that Hojo did when he pushed Kudo Shinichi in front of the cold storage.

After completing this series of physical movements, the rabbit raised his hand towards the stairs and looked at Toru Amuro with great anticipation.

——You have such a strong reasoning ability, you must be able to tell what I am saying!

Toru Amuro: "..."

Toru Amuro: "…………?"

The man and the rabbit looked at each other, and the rabbit seemed to see a huge question mark appearing on that handsome face.

——He didn’t understand it at all.

"Why are you here?"

Just when Rabbit was feeling disappointed, Aoyagi Binkou's voice appeared behind him.

----

As soon as Aoyagi Binguang left the monitoring room, he opened the system group chat. There was no message from Rabbit, and the location showed that the other party was currently near the first floor of the cafeteria.

He felt very strange, so he came down to look for someone.

Looking at the rabbit and then at Toru Amuro who was hugging him, Aoyagi Akimichi was a little confused - could it be that Bourbon wanted to talk to him on the pretext of being a "pet"?

"Teacher Aoyagi," Toru Amuro greeted with a smile, handing him the rabbit. "Your pet is nearby. I thought it was lost, so I just wanted to go look for you."

Aoyagi Bingguang nodded slightly, took the rabbit and put it on his shoulder.

As soon as the rabbit landed on his shoulder, it reached out and pulled his hair, and pointed to the stairs of the cafeteria with its other hand. At the same time, a sentence popped up on the system pop-up window.

[Lust: Please go to the basement of the kitchen quickly. Hojo threw Shinichi's things and pushed him into the cold storage! ! ]

"..."

Such a long sentence was definitely not typed just now, but was typed before and just sent out.

Aoyagi Binguang didn't understand why he did that, but now was obviously not the time to ask. He turned to Amuro Toru and said, "Thank you for helping me find the rabbit. I have something to do now, so I'll leave first."

He wanted to wait for Amuro Toru to come over, but when the other party really came over, he still couldn't be too enthusiastic, and had to show appropriate distance and vigilance.

After all, in Toru Amuro's mind, he was an FBI agent who came to Japan to conduct a secret investigation. If he could easily let down his guard and become friends with him in a few words, the other party would not think the mission was easy and would immediately become suspicious.

Aoyagi Akimitsu walked past Amuro Toru and headed towards the stairs leading from the cafeteria to the basement.

He had just walked down a few steps when he suddenly stopped and turned to look behind him.

"Teacher Aoyagi, are you going to the cafeteria's underground cold storage?"

Toru Amuro was standing on the stairs, his expression a little unclear because he was facing away from the light.

"That's not a place a music teacher should go... Can I ask why you went there?"

Chapter 44: Shadows on Campus

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

The rabbit huddled in Qingliu Binguang's hair, and even though he was slow-witted, he could feel that the atmosphere was a little subtle.

He looked at Toru Amuro who was standing in the upper position, and then looked at Aoyagi Akimichi's face which was very close to him.

This teammate looked calm, and even though he suddenly stopped and heard Amuro Toru's voice, he remained as steady as a rock - he was right on his shoulder and could feel his physical condition, and he was in a relaxed state at this moment.

He wasn't panicking at all.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Aoyagi."

At this time, Toru Amuro spoke again, and the first thing he did was to apologize.

"Because I heard from the second grade teacher this morning that someone put glass shards into the students' food in the cafeteria yesterday. As a teacher, I have to be more careful..."

His voice was sincere and full of apology, as if he was an enthusiastic teacher who had accidentally doubted his colleague in his haste and was now sincerely apologizing.

Qing Liu Bingguang took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the inbox, and spoke naturally:

"Mr. Amuro, if you are so worried, could you please come with me?"

Rabbit looked at his phone screen, the latest email showing as having been sent a few minutes ago.
