Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

"..."

Seeing that Aoyagi Akimichi was silent and had a very serious expression, "Lust" felt his hair stand on end.

[Lust: Is there something behind me? No wonder I felt a chill since I came in. Is this hospital haunted? But I remember there are no ghosts in Conan. The one with ghosts is the Kindaichi studio next door... Could it be that your skill is to control ghosts? ! Now you use it on me? There is a ghost in this room now? ? ]

Aoyagi Binguang saw the black mist on the other person's neck explode like the tail of a frightened animal.

"........."

This time traveler... let's not talk about whether he's smart or not, he really talks a lot...

Chapter 9: Aboriginals and Travelers (Part )

By the window, the moonlight is like water.

On the bed not far from the window, an animal was lying on the sheets. If you look closely at its expression, you can see that it is frowning in a very human way.

[Lust: I didn’t expect that my skills would be ineffective on my teammates to this extent. I can’t even see them…]

……

Just now, Aoyagi Bin spent ten minutes convincing his teammates that there was no ghost in the room and that it was just his skill.

At the same time, "Lust" successfully entered the messenger form and turned into a rabbit with a head and human intelligence.

The rabbit was small, shiny black, and rolled up like a coal ball. Aoyagi Binguang couldn't tell what species it was. After his teammate turned into a rabbit, he carried him back to the bed and sat face to face with him.

The rabbit stretched out his two short arms. Because his arms were too short, one-third of the system pop-up window was pressed under him. He lay on it and typed, his hand speed was slightly slower than when he was a human.

[Lust: Actually, that was the case just now. I wanted to stop you from shooting because I was afraid that the sound of the gunshot would attract other people. But the black fog couldn’t touch your body at all, so I could only grab the bullet…]

After typing this paragraph, the rabbit turned his head and looked at his ankle.

The black strap of the electronic shackles gripped his skin tightly, bisecting the snake tattoo.

[I thought I was miserable enough, but I didn't expect you to be so pitiful, actually becoming a member of the Black Organization, and even wearing this thing on your feet, so you can't run away even if you want to...]

[…Is this thing really impossible to dismantle? Do you want me to help you think of a solution?]

……

After some consideration, Aoyagi Akimitsu finally told the time-traveling player about his skills (part) and current identity (a small part).

They are teammates, and when they are unsure about the other players' situation, they decide to act together temporarily.

Since we are going to act together, the other party will ask about these things sooner or later. Instead of dragging it out until the last minute, it is better to take the initiative to tell part of it.

So Aoyagi Binguang did not tell him that he was a native of this world, but only said that he was a member of an organization. He was considered sick by others, so electronic shackles were put on his feet to restrict his movement and he was forcibly sent here for psychiatric treatment.

He knew very well that most people sympathized with the weak, or in other words, most people liked to compare their misery.

——When you are unlucky, if you encounter others who are also unlucky and whose situation is worse than yours, it is easy to arouse empathy and reduce vigilance.

When his teammates lost their memories, their heads, and were nearly sent to the incinerator, Aoyagi Akimitsu certainly wouldn't say that his life was okay, and he only talked about the experiences that seemed more miserable to outsiders.

And while explaining, Aoyagi Akimichi took the opportunity to conduct several small tests.

He tried to lie again, or to say something ambiguous that would lead the other person to think in the wrong way, but found that the former still didn't work, while the latter sometimes worked, but the deviation could not be too big.

Much better than he expected, being completely unable to lie.

Qing Liu Bingguang advised him: "Don't try it, it can knock me out with just a little current... and I can go out tomorrow. As long as I complete the task, the organization will open the shackles."

【Lust: Sorry...】

The rabbit drooped its ears and shook them. Aoyagi Binguang didn't know whether he was being cute or it was animal instinct that was at work.

Seeing that the other party did not suspect him, he adjusted his tone and expression, and slowly asked another question that he was extremely concerned about.

"How much of Conan's plot do you remember?"

This is the biggest difference between the time traveler player and him, the native player.

——They know the “future” of this world.

----

How can you ignore the plot when you travel to a known comic book world?

When Rabbit heard his teammates mention the plot, he quickly held his head and tried to recall. Although he had lost some of his memory, he still remembered the plot of the comics and animation very clearly.

[Lust: I have only read the Red and Black chapters of both the manga and the anime. Conan has been serialized for too long, almost thirty years, and there are more than twenty theatrical versions. I heard a little about the later plot from my classmates. How much do you remember? ]

"I haven't seen it." said Aoyagi Binguang.

Rabbit was surprised: [You haven't seen it at all? No way, even if you don't read the comics, you should have seen those repeated classic episodes on TV, right? ]

"I really haven't watched it, not even one episode."

Aoyagi Akimichi smiled bitterly. "My family was very strict when I was a child, so I didn't read many comics or cartoons. In fact, it was only when I heard the system's explanation that I realized Conan was a comic book..."

【…】

The rabbit was more sympathetic.

His memories include cartoons, games, and summer swimming at the beach, but he knows what some parents who push their children too hard are like.

【Then let me tell you the story that I remember. 】

[The plot of Conan is actually very simple. It tells the story of a high school detective who encountered an organized transaction, was hit with a club and then drank poison...]

High school detective Shinichi Kudo was forced to take APTX4869 but did not die. Instead, he shrunk into a child and took the alias Conan Edogawa, and moved into the home of his childhood sweetheart Ran Mouri.

He uses an anesthetic needle and a voice changer to turn his future father-in-law into a famous detective. He solves various cases on a daily basis, and the main story investigation organization is interspersed in between.

He learned about the organization from a low-level member who tried to escape with his sister. He overheard the code names of two men in black (Gin and Vodka) on the Shinkansen. In a duel with another high school detective, he accidentally turned back into a high school student after drinking white liquor. He met another tall member (Tequila) at a video game party, and when he was about to investigate, the other party was killed in a bomb...

When writing this, Rabbit's typing hand paused.

He remembered Tequila's appearance: a burly man with a mustache and a dimpled chin, who revealed three code names in one sentence when he made a phone call.

At the same time, he behaved quite rudely, and even kicked Conan, who was only the size of a seven-year-old child... No matter how annoying a naughty child is, he would not kick someone like this...

...No, that's not the point. The point is that one of the people who just caught him looks very similar to this Tequila!

"What's wrong?" His teammates noticed that he stopped.

The rabbit did not hesitate to tell the other party: [One of the members I just met downstairs might be Tequila, but I don’t know if he looks like...]

"You killed him?" Qing Liu Binguang opened his eyes wide.

"No, no! I said it before, I just knocked him out!" Rabbit quickly explained, "The one who was hurt more seriously was the other one!"

He didn't know why there was such a big difference. Both of them had their faces covered with black mist, and the distance and force were about the same. One of them had his face turned bloody in an instant, while the one suspected to be Tequila was unharmed and just fell down.

Rabbit shook his head and stopped thinking about Tequila.

【After Tequila, Shirley comes on stage. 】

[She is the creator of APTX4869. Because her sister was killed, she refused to continue developing the drug and was locked in a gas chamber by the organization. She also took the drug and her body became smaller. After running to Conan, she was adopted by Dr. Agasa... I like her so much. She is my favorite female character in Conan! ]

The rabbit's black face turned slightly red and its whiskers trembled slightly.

I wonder if I can see her in the future? This is one of the few things he can look forward to after traveling through time...

"I want to interrupt for a moment."

Aoyagi Binkou seemed to have no interest in this and had an apologetic expression on his face.

"Hearing this, it seems that the protagonists of this work are two children? ...How can they deal with the entire organization like this?"

[Listen to me, there are actually many people on the red side. In the later stages of this work, the red and black forces are seriously unbalanced.] Rabbit said, [There is only one powerful person in the organization, Gin. The other members are either useless or undercover. There are more undercovers than official members.]

Thinking of some funny videos and memes he had seen before, Rabbit couldn't help laughing.

But Aoyagi Binguang sitting opposite him didn't smile.

He sat cross-legged, his long hair hanging down behind him. He rested his left hand on his knee, gently supporting his chin, with a thoughtful expression.

"...You mean, there are many undercover agents in the organization?"

----

Traveler: Did you know? There are so many undercover agents in the organization!

Aboriginal (winery): Thank you, now I understand.

Chapter 10: Aboriginals and Travelers (IV)

【yes. 】

Rabbit did not hide it. After all, this is a plot that everyone who has watched and paid attention to Conan knows, and it is not a major secret.

[Like me, I only watched half of it and gave up, but the undercover agents I know for sure are...] He counted, [about four.]

[First is Keel, whose real name is Hondou Eikai, and whose alias is Mizunashi Reina, the Japanese version of Miss 007. She is a CIA undercover agent, and another CIA undercover agent is her father. Because of her mistake, her father died to protect her. The Red and Black chapter revolves around her. ]

He is much more impressed by beautiful female characters than by male ones.

He also found that his teammate seemed to be more interested in this topic. Just now, when he was talking about the main line and the case, this teammate just smiled. Now when he mentioned the undercover agent, he actually took an apple from the basket next to him and started eating it.

The teammate was chewing an apple, and when he saw him looking at him, he put it down for the moment: "Are you hungry? Do you want me to cut one for you?"

[Okay, thank you for your help.]

The rabbit touched his stomach and found that he was indeed a little hungry.

The teammate held the apple in his mouth and picked up the third apple from the side. He put a plate next to the phone, picked up a knife with his left hand, cut the apple in two or three strokes, and cut two more cuts on it to make the shape of rabbit ears, and placed them neatly on the plate.

The rabbit lowered his head and took a bite of an apple, then continued tapping on the pop-up window.

[The third one is an FBI undercover, Shuichi Akai. ]

[His code name in the organization is Rye Whiskey. At the beginning of the story, his identity has been exposed and he has evacuated from the organization. In the Red and Black chapter, Kiel had a traffic accident and was detained in the hospital by the FBI. After being rescued by the organization, she was not trusted. Gin asked her to kill Akai to prove herself.]

[But I heard from my classmates that he was just faking his death, and it was a scheme set up by him, Gil, and Conan. In the later Bourbon or Scarlet Arc, his plan of faking his death was seen through by Bourbon.]

"Then Bourbon wasn't reported?"

Aoyagi Akimichi asked while eating an apple, his tone relaxed and casual, as if he was just casually asking his friend for spoilers of a newly released movie.

[This is what I'm going to say next. Bourbon is the fourth undercover.] Rabbit shook his ears, [I didn't see him appear. I just heard from his classmates who like him. It may be a little biased...]
