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

Chapter 196 The Unforgivable Evil (Part )

The surroundings were black that was so rich that it couldn't be melted away.

After saying those words, the expression of the long-haired man opposite him remained unchanged. He didn't show his emotions and became cold or angry, nor did he smile evilly in a pretentious way.

He just looked at her gently.

Grain Whiskey——The pseudonym is "Akatsuki Akamatsu", the player with the game ID of [Greedy] gradually calmed down.

The way Glenn looked at him, although his face was different, his temperament made her confirm that he was the Belloberg she met in the bar that night.

She used to be a police officer and now works as an undercover agent in a criminal organization. Whether before or now, she knows one thing.

——To investigate the truth, we must not only look at who the participants are, but also who has gained the most in the end.

Sometimes even someone who kills someone himself may be put to the knife and used. So in some special events, we have to look at the final result and then extrapolate based on that result.

Glenn felt something was wrong when he learned that Kuroki was the mole.

She stayed with Miyano Shiho and knew everything about the experimental base. At least she knew the identity, family background, experience and projects of each member.

Kuroki was pulled into the organization by his college classmates. His intellectual knowledge is only mediocre among researchers. His personality is cautious and cautious, and there is no trace of the organization at all.

She is not surprised that Kuroki betrayed her daughter. What she is surprised about is - why would such a person with such an inconspicuous appearance, education, qualifications and work style be targeted by the police?

Kuroki's betrayal did not cause any real damage to the organization. He had only joined for a short time and was not qualified to have access to confidential information. He had no emotional friends. The other researchers were surprised by his betrayal, not sad at all, let alone being incited to rebel because of him.

However, although there was no loss, the appearance of the traitor still caused some changes there: first, Shirley's guardian became Curacao; and second...

——Abandon the original base and change to a research institute.

"You didn't do it to betray the organization, or to torture Kuroki because he didn't like him. He was just randomly selected by you... The purpose was to get Shirley to move to the new research institute."

The new research institute is located in Mika Town. Based on the internal facilities and geographical location, it is the most convenient and suitable place to relocate when the original base has an accident.

That was built by Goldwasser. The biggest difference from the original base is that it used to be a sewage treatment plant with an underground river.

"Rabbit told you that he likes Shirley the most. He has been taken out by Shirley more than once this year. Some places are monitored, so it is not difficult for you to find him around her."

"I'm afraid you also arranged that list of silver bullet tests."

Glenn looked into those light brown eyes.

"If Chairman Sindora is an organizational supporter, he should be shown successful experiments to this kind of capitalist who can provide large amounts of funds, and let him know the possibility of developing drugs, so as to get more support... instead of Give him the list of dead testers."

To give an inappropriate example, it is like parents looking for cram schools for their children.

The cram school will only let parents see the excellent results, and will try their best to hide the poor ones, lest the parents think they are useless and want to change places.

It didn't make sense that she could only find this list there.

"Such a record with names and photos is more like telling people who can see this record that the researchers who organized and produced that kind of drug have many enemies."

"You look very similar to the female tester in the photo. Rabbit will definitely recognize it. In this case, out of concern for Shirley, he will find a way to follow you to the new research institute with an underground river."

Most members of the organization can swim and are not afraid of falling into the water; but Rabbit is not. He is quite afraid of water, especially the cold and dirty river water flowing in the wild.

"You want to drown him again, he's so empathetic, he'd be more miserable if he was in danger with his favorite characters, even..."

Glenn gritted his teeth and said, "You plan to kill me."

When the organization selected the place, it was considered that the enemy would take the waterway, so a gate was built to cut off the water flow.

As long as an unknown person is discovered, the most vocal member of the institute will decide whether to lower the gate.

Those doors have a heating function that can boil the river water in the designated water area in a very short period of time and cook the creatures inside alive.

The most vocal person there now is Curaçao.

——The character in the theater version that Rabbit once revealed to the person in front of him, a plot character who can break the protective halo around the player.

"Only this?"

[Rage] looked at her patiently, like a primary school teacher who saw a student get 60 points on the exam.

"you……"

Glenn continued to meet those eyes.

She told another of her guesses——

"Not a time traveler, right?"

……

Glenn is a special one among the seven players.

She has higher permissions, such as asking more questions with no limit, and the ability to temporarily control other players' animal messengers... And when she first entered the game, the system prompted her that she was not the only special player.

"...Rabbit told me that not long after you started the game, you took him to live in a high-end apartment. The place was very clean."

Generally speaking, when you go to a strange place to perform a mission, the organization will not help clean the room. When he went to New York, Glenn did the cleaning himself.

Those who can get this kind of treatment are either high-level members with many flattering subordinates, or they have close friends nearby who are willing to lend a hand even if they don't say anything.

At that time [Rage] had just started the game - this was said to the rabbit who was Black at the time, it couldn't be a lie - but he received such an exceptional treatment.

"In your plan, Shirley can easily be affected and be seriously injured or killed...and when I mentioned the female drug tester, your expression..."

Glenn has a knack for capturing the true emotions of others.

The [Rage] in front of her had been hiding her emotions very well. After listening to her talk so much, her expression did not change at all...until she mentioned the silver bullet list and the female drug tester.

Although it was only a brief, blink-like moment, she felt the deep-seated anger and hatred from him.

"You hate Shirley and that drug very much. With your methods and character, if that woman was just a game NPC relative arranged by the system for you, you wouldn't be so angry at all..."

But if it is a real relative, it is a different matter.

"The third point is what Rabbit just said. You can check the whereabouts of players who quit due to low willpower."

What will happen if a player leaves the game due to low willpower? Not only did Rabbit ask many times, Glenn also consulted the system when jealousy and arrogance exited one after another. None of them got an answer.

However, [Rage] can be used.

This system space is very special. It not only saves the souls of players who have temporarily quit, but also has many restrictions on the players themselves, two of which are [cannot pretend] and [cannot lie].

As soon as she came in, she was forced to cancel the face-squeezing function. The possibility that he could lie to the rabbit was very slim. Those were the truths he told after checking.

Then the question arises, why can't he even she?

What is different about him from her and from the other six players? "the last point……"

Glenn looked at the huge screen.

Drowning, car accidents, stabbings, and ambulances...

"——There were only six people involved in the accident above, and there were seven players."

……

Qingliu Binguang listened quietly.

Glenn is right for the most part.

He really wanted to force Rabbit out of the game again, but when the opponent suddenly turned red and could completely see his skill clone, he changed his strategy and coaxed the skill away.

There was just one thing she said wrong.

——She thought he took her to the United States so that she and Rabbit could "accidentally" get a list from a capitalist. After learning that he had a blood feud with the organization, he tricked Rabbit into stabbing Shirley.

She got part of it right.

He asked her to go to the United States more to confirm her skills.

There are prerequisites for querying other players' skills from the system. Active skills require knowing the other player's real name, and passive skills require the real appearance and ID.

A year ago, he got [Jealousy]'s mobile phone. Players can operate other players' system rings and mobile phones. In the group chat records, he determined that the ID of another red player was [Greedy].

It’s just that her skills are not mentioned in the record, not even her name. The last chat she had with [Jealousy] was a few reminders she sent on November 11th.

She reminded Baijiu that those incidents were organized, and it was possible that the black player was targeting him, and asked him to hide quickly.

Those words did not save Baijiu. He was on the run at the time and did not even click on it to read it, but revealed a very important piece of information to Aoyagi Binguang.

——She can confirm that it was done by the organization, which proves that she is very likely to be in the organization, and is even near Cupido Town. She is an insider of this trial of Scotland.

Aoyagi Binguang quickly thought of Glenn, whom Gin had specifically mentioned to him.

He told him: Glenn seemed like a different person, but his face and multiple identifications were fine.

Aoyagi Binguang was willing to trust Gin's intuition in situations other than sniping. He believed that Glenn had indeed been switched. There were two possibilities.

First, the subcontractors themselves looked the same and hacked into the database to change the DNA, fingerprints and iris information;

Second, it was a player and the other party took advantage of the skill.

Suspecting that the other party was a player, Aoyagi Binguang paid attention to everything about Glenn. At the same time, he reviewed everything that happened that day and found more problems.

First, the Arrogance phone is missing.

That day, his clone was disposing of Binga's body and at the same time sent a snake to Hojo's house. Originally, he wanted it to take away Tojo Hojo's mobile phone and find records to confirm the identities of other passerby players.

But then, he heard two different footsteps.

Aoyagi Binguang has an absolute sense of music. Ordinary people may not be able to hear it, but he can completely distinguish it - the latter one is from the rabbit, the place where he was resurrected happens to be nearby, and the sound is next to him; the former one comes from the snake that went to Hojo's house. It heard the sound of footsteps on the floor.

Soon after, he heard no other movement from the snake, and Hojo Toyoka inexplicably quit the game. He let it crawl in and look for her cell phone. She obviously took it home, but she didn't find it.

It's like it was taken away by someone else.

Next, there is the pharmacology expert.

The other party was changed by Tojo Hojo's will, so he became willing to accept interviews with reporters. Aoyagi Binguang took advantage of this and disguised himself as Kotomine Joanna to visit him a second time and steal information from his computer.

On the day that Tojo Hojo quit, all the people whose wills had been modified by her skills, except those who got rid of it on their own, had collective headaches and were hospitalized.

This expert should have been among them, but Aoyagi Binguang's follow-up investigation found that he was actually safe and sound. Not only that, but he also doesn’t like to be interviewed by reporters.

Out of curiosity, Aoyagi Binguang approached the expert's wife. The bookish lady was very easy to talk to. She told him that her husband also had a headache that day. Fortunately, a kind man passed by and helped him, and then he was fine.

The appearance and grooming of the kind-hearted man she talked about were similar to Glenn.

This also gives rise to two possibilities.

First, her own skills can eliminate the skill effects of other players;

Second, just like she took over the identity of Akatsuki Akatsuki, she stole the ability of [Arrogance] and canceled the skill effect by her.

Aoyagi Binguang didn't check Glenn's skills, not even passive skills - although he remembered the appearance of the person who fell that day and learned from the rabbit that it was a red player, he couldn't be sure that was her true identity. Appearance, he didn't want to waste the times.

The next year, he learned from Belmod and Calvados that Glenn was rapidly promoted in the organization and became Rum's confidant in a short period of time.

Goldwasser felt strange. He had fought with Rum for many years and knew this enemy better than anyone else. Even Gin didn't suspect it, but he felt weird and thought Rum seemed to have been brainwashed.

So the second guess gradually gained the upper hand. In order to further confirm whether [Greed] had obtained Tojo Hojo's skills and whether her own skills could take away other people's abilities, Aoyagi Binguang made a bolder attempt.

He proposed to BOSS that Glenn take over the task of solving Sawada Hiroki - to use the computer skills of this genius boy who is destined to die to seduce the other party to see if she will reveal her skills.

However, what Qingliu Binguang didn't expect was that on the day they met, his clone followed her out of the bar, and he saw with his own eyes those addicts being driven away easily by her... But just when he wanted to call her, his hand just clapped his hands. When he reached her back, his skill clone was suddenly released without warning.

This made Aoyagi Binguang even more curious about her skills.

Even when I used a device to stimulate the head of the rabbit brought back from Japan and tested whether this part of the body would have those black fogs, I was thinking about this.

……

At this time, the player who aroused Aoyagi Binguang's curiosity was on the opposite side, questioning his origins.

Qingliu Binguang didn't answer, his eyes fell on the other party's devil.

The demon of [greed] is a two-headed crow.

One head is raised high, while the other's head is always lowered. As if dead, motionless.

Thinking of the strange temperament of the other party when they met for the second time, Aoyagi Binguang laughed lightly and without any malice, and then glanced at the huge screen.

"Can I ask you a question?" he said gently.

"I was in good health when I was selected by the system. I was extremely healthy and normal both physically and mentally. Several others were only seriously injured and comatose and did not die."

"how about you?"

"——Are you still alive in your world?"
