Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 173 Non-protagonist with protagonist physique

The rice crackers are brightly lit at night.

The black Porsche is speeding on the road. Compared with its eye-catching appearance during the day, it is much more low-key at night.

There were no lights on in the car, and there was a flash of cigarette flame in the passenger seat. The phone screen lit up, illuminating Gin's cold face and long silver hair that had never been combed.

The car was very quiet while driving, and there were no suspicious people around. He turned at the intersection and entered a small road with few vehicles. A certain high-rise building with no lights on and all the personnel suspected to be off work appeared in front of him.

He didn't stop at the door and drove straight past; in the security booth at the door, the security guard turned a blind eye to the passing Porsche.

The car turned again, entered the garage entrance at the rear of the building, and stopped in a seemingly ordinary parking space.

The surveillance camera not far away captured this scene, and the traffic light flashed red. The next second, the ground moved, and with a clicking sound, the ground slowly sank along with the car.

"Boom."

With a dull and steady sound of landing, the Porsche safely arrived at one of the organization's important laboratories in Mihua. Vodka drove the car forward and let the ground rise again.

At the same time, Gin, who had been communicating with others just now, finally put down his phone.

He put out his cigarette, opened the door and got out of the car.

----

After gnawing the bread, the rabbit finally waited until Glenn and Miyano Shiho came back. He was stunned for a moment when he saw their expressions.

Miyano Shiho's expression was quite ugly. In the year they had been together, he had rarely seen her show such an expression, especially after meeting her sister.

He was very strange and was about to ask Glenn if what happened, but the next second he heard what Miyano Shiho said.

"...Will Gin really come?"

Her tone was rather uneasy.

Gin.

Upon hearing this code name, Rabbit felt as if someone had hit him with a sap, and his body became completely stiff.

During this year, he stayed in the tissue laboratory and stayed with the important person Miyano Shiho, but he never saw Gin. This was the first time he met this big shot of Black.

Although there were more and more undercover traitors in Conan's later years and Gin became more of a comedy character, he never forgot how oppressive the silver-haired killer who caused the protagonist to become smaller felt in the early stages.

Even the undercover agent on the Red side is ruthless and will kill people without mercy when necessary, let alone this character on the Black side?

The rabbit became afraid.

All this was so sudden, with no warning at all.

He was afraid that Gin would come in and do something in the next second - for example, pick him up and tell Miyano Shiho, "What kind of pets do members of the organization keep?" and then throw him into the laboratory to keep him company with those experimental animals...

The rabbit trembled, trying to trouble Glenn to hide him immediately, or turn him into a more stealthy scorpion. At this moment, he suddenly remembered another more important thing and quickly looked at the values.

[Willpower: 11]

The value did not change. Rabbit was temporarily relieved, but his high heart did not let go.

Glenn on the side noticed something strange about him, glanced at the rabbit nest, and said to Miyano Shiho: "Gin has the highest chance of coming, but he won't kill people casually."

"Training or wooing scientific researchers is much more troublesome than training killers and intelligence agents. It requires more time, energy and financial resources. Without clear evidence, he will not kill casually, and that gentleman will not allow him to do so."

Glenn did not directly say "don't worry" or "I will protect you". Such words were ineffective to Miyano Shiho, who was afraid of Gin. She chose to directly explain the reason why the other party would not kill indiscriminately.

After saying this, she took the rabbit out of the rabbit's nest.

The rabbit lay on her shoulder, holding on to her clothes with its claws, as if it was the only way to find some sense of security.

But while being frightened, he turned his head. He saw Miyano Shiho lowering his head. Her body was trembling, and the hands beside her dropped weakly, as if she didn't even have the strength to hold them. Glenn's words just now did not comfort her at all.

Rabbit instantly realized why.

——Compared to him, who had only experienced the horror of Gin through the screen, Shirley, who had grown up in the organization, knew best how terrifying that man was. Especially when he executes people.

"..."

Facing the discomfort of his favorite Miyano Shiho, Rabbit felt very sympathetic. But soon, he felt Glenn pat him on the back reassuringly.

This made his body stiffen again.

[Greedy: I'll send you to stay elsewhere, so you don't have to worry about seeing Gin. 】

While comforting him, she looked at Miyano Shiho. She noticed her fear, but had to ask: "Gin will come later, and he will definitely have objections when he sees you raising pets... How can you trust me?" A subordinate? I have to send the rabbit there."

"........."

The rabbit listened to her words and looked down at his hand that was close at hand. The rabbit's paws were furry, cute but extremely weak. He fell silent.

He was also afraid...and in this state, he couldn't do anything, let alone comfort Miyano Shiho, help or save her...

He couldn't even protect himself.

……

A researcher was quickly called over.

He was probably in his early thirties, and had already grown a lot of gray hair. Under his white coat, wrinkled cuffs that had not been ironed for a long time were exposed.

Rabbit looked up and realized he knew this man.

His surname is Kuroki, and he is one of the laboratory assistants. He often takes the initiative to take care of himself when Glenn or Miyano Shiho are busy. He is not usually responsible for taking care of experimental animals, but he has experience raising rabbits.

"Excuse me, I'll bring it back tomorrow morning."

Kuroki reached out to take the rabbit, and faced Miyano Shiho, something seemed to flash in his eyes, and he smiled warmly and tenderly.

"Okay, Miss Shirley."

The look in his eyes made Rabbit feel a little strange.

Before he could take a closer look, Kuromu turned to look at Glenn again.

"Mr. Glenn, I took leave in the afternoon. When I came back, I found that the laboratory was suddenly under martial law... Did something happen?"

The organization has different levels of personal restrictions for researchers at different levels. For example, Miyano Shiho, who is young and responsible for a research project alone, has members to closely monitor her; assistants of Kuroki's level are not monitored every day, and they only need to report their comings and goings.

This laboratory is located underground in a certain company. The entrance, exit and emergency escape hatches are in different directions. Only the code members know the specific location and how many there are.

It's not that easy to break in or block it. If anything unusual is found at the entrance, the alarm will sound immediately, notifying the personnel inside to evacuate in time, and the bomb buried underground will be activated.

Glenn had been watching Kuroki's expression just now. Her expression was as usual, not as suspicious as Rabbit -

"The experiment failed. There is a high possibility that someone deliberately sabotaged it, so I notified others to come and check."

Kuroki was stunned.

At the same time, the rabbit felt a pain in his body.

——The man holding him tightened his hands unconsciously at this moment, squeezing his body painfully.
