Stay away from Conan.

A guy who looks extremely similar to Kyosuke Mitarai, and whose skills can even counter his own moves, and most importantly, his words...

Originally, she was to follow the instructions and pretend to be Saeki Masashi's niece so that Saeki Masashi would "find" her. In this way, she could use this identity to lay the groundwork for another thing that the organization was secretly planning.

Now, the game seems to have reached its final moment, but then that guy came along and ruined it...

However, without a doubt, that guy's words made him waver a little...

After her unexpected encounter and defeat with Takato, Hanada Emi was filled with doubts. As a result, her original plan to go shopping with Miyano Shiho and the others was completely ruined by the defeat and a few words.

As for Hanada Megumi at this moment, she really wanted to find out the identity of the person who looked so much like Mitarai Kyosuke. However, after her initial defeat, it would be unwise to rashly attack again without fully understanding the situation.

If we could call in a few more people, maybe we could manage.

However, since that guy knows about the organization and even knows his own code name, including the name "Camus," even if I send people to ambush him afterward, he is probably not unprepared and may fall into his trap.

Moreover, even if they manage to subdue that guy in the end, the fact that they've called for others to join the attack will inevitably be known to the rest of the organization, which will then reveal the guy's identity...

He knows his own affairs, which makes him wary. There's no guarantee that other members of the organization who will take action won't be swayed by his words, and the whole matter might end up with "Camus".

So, if what this person says is true, what about my identity, and...?

My own mother...

If everything that happened to me was preordained, how would "Camus" treat me after finding out?

This concern made Hanada Emi very clear-headed—

We must first ascertain whether what this person said is accurate.

Even if it's unlikely that I can find out the truth through internal organizational channels in the short term, if I can probe Camus's attitude, I should be able to roughly figure out some of the situation.

Alone in her apartment, pondering this, Hanada Emi took out her phone, looked at the number listed as "Camus," her expression grave, but ultimately dialed it...

……

Within the pharmaceutical factory, these rooms, presumably located in a classified area of ​​the organization, appear to have no windows facing outwards, likely due to their secrecy from the outset.

In other words, the outermost part of the entire area is completely enclosed by walls, with no windows at all.

This approach directly prevents anyone from sneaking in through the windows or observing the laboratory to learn about its secrets.

However, this means that all ventilation can only be achieved through the air exchange system...

Thus, Gao Yuan initially considered whether he could bypass the access control by using the ventilation system here to sneak into these rooms.

However, to ensure safety, the ventilation system ducts here are not easy to open, and it's easy to trigger the alarm if you're not careful, so Gao Yuan temporarily abandoned this method. But soon Gao Yuan discovered that although there were no windows on the outside of the rooms, many rooms on the inside of the corridor had glass windows.

Then, Gao Yuan couldn't help but wonder if he could enter these rooms through the windows here—

After all, the access control system had been tested. Although he possessed Vodka's and Shiho Miyano's fingerprints and could open some rooms, those rooms didn't contain what Takato was looking for. The other, obviously more important rooms had much more secure access control systems; fingerprints alone weren't enough, passwords were also required...

While it might be possible to deduce the characters used in the password by observing the traces on the keypad, finding a pattern in their order is quite difficult.

Unless you're extremely lucky and figure it out on your first try, too many incorrect attempts will inevitably trigger an alarm.

Therefore, after roughly figuring out the access control system here, Gao Yuan directly abandoned his plan to confront the system head-on and instead took a different approach—

The windows here...

Yes, there are solid glass windows that are fixed to the wall and cannot be opened, and there are glass windows that move left and right on sliding tracks...

It seems that the windows here are not all the same, depending on the function of the room.

However, by observing the access control settings, one can generally determine the importance of these corresponding rooms. Apart from a few rooms that have no windows at all and have very strict access control that is currently impossible to bypass, some of the rooms with windows are likely laboratories involving very important experiments, and these places should be what we need.

Therefore, after ensuring that no one was in the room, Gao Yuan quickly selected a large laboratory room with a sliding window as the target of his operation.

Then, Gao Yuan took out several reagents from the other rooms from his white coat, mixed them slightly, and lit them...

Thermite reaction.

Quickly, Gao Yuan burned through the window frame along the edge, creating a gap to move the window. He then removed the window, climbed into the room, and then, in a symbolic and self-deceiving manner, put the window back.

And so, quite boldly, with the unusual situation almost noticeable to anyone passing by, Gao Yuan moved extremely quickly into the room. Seeing that the computers seemed to be running some program and had not been shut down, Gao Yuan immediately began to check whether these computers were connected to the organization's database.

Having previously used hacking techniques to gain access to the organization's systems through privileged access, Gao Yuan was now able to easily navigate the organization's database using a readily available computer connected to the organization's internal network, and begin searching for something.

"Hmm... drug information... I don't understand it, skip it..."

After several searches, Gao Yuan realized that since the dream world here prevented him from bringing information into reality through means other than memory, he simply skipped over the information that Gao Yuan couldn't understand or remember. Instead, he began searching for potentially useful, confidential documents.

For example, the list of personnel...

However, at the same time, Gao Yuan's actions were too clumsy, and were quickly detected by the organization.

It seems there's been a problem at the drug lab.

This news quickly reached Gin, who had recently left the pharmaceutical company… (End of Chapter)
