Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

However, apart from asking a few routine questions and having someone take a statement, there wasn't much else they could do.

This incident was completely beyond their comprehension; there were no precedents they could refer to.

What kind of terrorist organization leader would suddenly come out and confess live, revealing their secrets, and then run away on their own?!

What else could this be but madness?!

Although there was not much damage at the scene, there was only the ceiling that had been swept by AK and the ventilation pipe outside the door that had collapsed for some unknown reason.

But the sensation caused by this live-streamed confession was on a global scale!

At least tens of millions of people watched the live broadcast, so the Metropolitan Police Department is the one who has to clean up the mess that happened!

"Huh? This is..."

While the police were inspecting the scene, Takashi Matsuo came to the front of the studio, intending to take his belongings with him.

Then he discovered a piece of paper left behind by the man in black.

Driven by his professional instincts as a host, he subconsciously read it aloud, right in front of the still-live-streaming camera!

"I really want to be Bayonetta's dog!"

Gin: (;)

Vodka: ()

Conan: (????)

Hattori Heiji: [??? ]

Vermouth: (Oo) ? ? ?

Audience: !! (??)

"But, when Sister Bei said she liked cats, I cried."

"I am neither a dog nor a cat, but just a rat in the gutter."

"I never expected that Bayonetta would like me, I understand."

"Everyone likes cute dogs or cats, but nobody likes a damp, sick rat."

"But I still asked Bayonetta: Can I be your dog?"

“I know I’m destined not to be a dog, but if she likes dogs, I can always be there for her, even if she’s always holding a dog.”

"But she said she likes cats."

"My soul looked through the window and saw the hanging bells ringing softly. Bayonetta was lounging on the sofa, and the very docile orange cat was sitting on her shoulder."

"The firelight from the fireplace shone on her face, and my frozen heart warmed slightly in the wind."

After reading this unique love poem, Takashi Matsuo found himself with tears in his eyes.

The applause was thunderous, both from the audience and in front of the screen. Some applauded the man in black for his genuine emotions, while others praised his literary talent.

This confession speech by Gin (played by Luo Tian) has now become an art form!

……

"You bastard! You scoundrel! Don't let me catch you!"

Gin watched this scene with a livid face, muttering terrifying words over and over again.

If his previous surrender was merely an expression of hostility towards him and the Black Organization, then this is a complete and utter insult to his own character!

He had never felt such a strong urge to kill a person!

Just then, Rena Mizunashi called.

"You'd better tell me the information I want!"

Gin practically forced out those words through gritted teeth, and the phone in his hand cracked several times from gripping it so tightly.

"I lost them. They jumped out of a ninth-floor window and escaped using a hang glider."

Rena Mizunashi knew she couldn't anger Koto-sama at this time, so she succinctly shared the information she had gathered.

She was clever and didn't bring up the name of Phantom Thief Kid.

Because she wasn't sure, it would be bad if she said something wrong.

Similarly, she knew that even if she didn't say it, someone would guess it on their own.

"Hydroglider... Great! Excellent!"

Just as she had expected, the image of a certain phantom thief had already appeared in Gin's mind.

Phantom Thief Kid! Did the organization have some kind of conflict with this thief? No, that's not important!

Since they dare to provoke us, we must teach them a lesson!

Before that, we should lay low for a while.

Gin was well aware that his appearance had been exposed, and regardless of whether the police and the public believed it or not, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Especially with her striking long blonde hair, she'd definitely be recognized if she went out.

He needs to hide for a while, and it would be best if he changed his appearance before making any moves.

Ask that woman for a disguise mask? No, that's too much trouble!

The organization has just developed a new technology; we can give it a try!

Suppressing his anger, Gin forced himself to calm down and think about his next plan.

However, the final straw that broke the camel's back came from the live television broadcast.

"Ah! Shirley! My light of life, my fire of desire, my sin, my soul!"

"I love you, I'm a monster, but I love you!"

(P.S.: Please give me any support!)

Chapter 40 Xiaolan's Guilt

Inside a luxurious apartment in Tokyo.

"Pfft! Hahahaha—Sherry—hahahaha—"

Vermouth was hunched over her computer, clutching her stomach, laughing with great effort.

Although she didn't know who was impersonating her, she had to admit that today's antics had made her laugh.

Especially those last two sentences, which elevated the entire live stream to a whole new level!

Others might not know who Shirley is, but she knows it all too well!

Vermouth was filled with anticipation at the thought of how that cold, pretty face might react to those two sentences.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her slender fingers and stood up from the chair.

No way! I need to see it in person to feel comfortable!

Thinking this, she immediately took off her silk nightgown, went into the bathroom, and prepared to mock a certain girl in her best possible condition.

Quite by chance, just a second before she looked away from the computer screen, Luo Tian's image appeared before her eyes.

Vermouth took notice of Ran's affectionate embrace.

……

Inside the bar.

Bang! A bullet hole appeared in the middle of the television screen, from which sparks occasionally flew out.

Gin, his face contorted in embarrassment, put down his gun, biting his lip until it bled.

“Ani Gei…”

Vodka still had that goofy expression, but he subconsciously clenched his fists in certain areas.

"Go investigate! Find out everything about Phantom Thief Kid!"

Gin's eyes blazed with the flames of revenge, like a tiger unleashed from its cage.

He wants revenge! He wants to kill!

"No matter how well that thief is hidden, find him!"

"Yes! But..."

He responded with a sound of agreement, but Vodka's voice still carried a hint of hesitation.

"But news came from the research institute that Shirley refused to continue the drug experiments after watching the live stream..."

At this moment, the simpleton felt a pang of sympathy for Shirley.

"..."

Grandpa Qin didn't reply, because he finally fainted from anger.

……

Back in the studio, when everyone heard Takashi Matsuo read the love poem that sounded like he was seriously ill, their expressions immediately became quite interesting.

If the previous part could be considered a genuine expression of emotion, then the last two sentences are downright infatuated!

Don't think they haven't seen the movie "Lolita"!

Although it was a bit complicated, at least what the other person left behind wasn't a ticking time bomb, but just a love poem.

This matter is finally over!

"...Yeah, right!"

On his way home, Kogoro Mouri grumbled indignantly.

After such a farce, who remembers that this program was originally meant to promote him as a great detective?

Nobody knows him, so how could the firm have more clients?

Cutting off someone's livelihood is no less than killing their parents, and Kogoro Mouri immediately became sworn enemies with that man in black.

Unbeknownst to him, this unexpected turn of events diverted Gin's attention.

Otherwise, if Grandpa Qin takes a liking to him, he'll definitely suffer the consequences.

Of course, Luo Tian had no idea that his sudden, impromptu prank would cause such a commotion.

He was currently engrossed in the system's settlement announcement; this time, he had really pulled off a big stunt!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully sabotaging the Black Organization during your live stream! Rewards: 10 A-Drug Antidote (24-hour version), Wing Chun (Grandmaster level), 1 Bad Luck Card!]

Wing Chun: Master this style of kung fu, and you'll be the best fighter in Miho!

[Unlucky Card: Just pray, and leave the rest to luck!]

The antidote! Twenty-four hours! Multiply by ten! That's a full ten days! Finally, we can have a few days of normal life!

As for Wing Chun, although I have gained an increase in strength and speed, I still don't know any fighting techniques.

The Spirit Orb skill is great, but it also consumes a lot of resources. Last time I knocked out three robbers, it felt like I had run a marathon.

Now that he has Wing Chun skills, Luo Tian wants to spar with Grandpa Qin!

As for the bad luck card... for some reason, he thought of Kudo's washing machine again.

I'll save this for now; you never know when it might come in handy!

"Xiao Luo? Xiao Luo!"

"Huh? What's wrong, Sister Xiaolan?"

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Dinner is fine with anything, as long as it's made by you, Sister Xiaolan, I'll like it."

"No! It has to be something you like. I'll do anything you want!"

Looking at the little boy's innocent smiling face, Ran Mouri felt a surge of guilt again.

After things settled down at the TV station, she remembered the bad thing she had done the night before. She felt ashamed and also very sorry to Luo Tian.

Therefore, I want to do something to make up for it.

"Oh, okay? How about we make some Chinese food?"
