The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 103 Vodka thinks the world is crazy!! (asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

Of course, the reality analysis at the research level has also mentioned another possibility.

After all, it is based on the "Principle of Minimum Changes to the Timeline".

[Story Timeline] There is no need to ignore the matter within the entire timeline.

"So there's a certain possibility that this isn't a matter of time, but rather a matter of matter. However, judging by the small amount of Proxima Centauri material we've collected so far, the Alliance is currently struggling to break through this blockade."

Honestly, after hearing this news, Lin Sheng was a little cautious about the [story timeline].

Uh……

Lin Sheng really didn't know why the [story timeline] was so cautious.

After all, I hadn't gotten stuck in the dual timeline bug at that time, so was this necessary?

But in the end he accepted this reality.

"In other words, long before the Alliance members discovered the truth of the dual timeline theory, they likely ignored the Black Party in the material composition of at least a few light-years centered on Earth."

"Yes." Hitomi Shigenobu also discussed with the executive management why the [Story Timeline] was done this way.

"We currently believe that this is because the two timelines likely had a prior confrontation before the Alliance appeared. To prevent the [Red Team], or reality, from taking preemptive action against the [Black Team], the [Story Timeline] took relevant protective measures long ago."

In fact, this also explains why Gin was able to survive as if helped by God when surrounded by more than a dozen teams of soldiers from various countries.

As long as the [story timeline] wants, unless Conan takes action, all "off-field factors" will not even be able to touch the [Black Team] members in a physical sense.

In this case, even if you wear TDD, it will be of little use.

And if you try to find Black's behavior in the loop...

Not to mention that the task force members can only barely maintain their memories in the [loop] and can barely resist this "normalization" phenomenon.

[Story Timeline] Will you sit back and do nothing about this?
Obviously, without a proper reason to be involved in the story, the Alliance would never be able to discover [Black].

And as soon as the cycle ends, this material neglect will be fixed into a reality again.

"That is, the task force cannot observe or influence [Black]."

This is not a problem that can be solved simply by the time travel effect.

As for Lin Sheng himself personally taking action——

Even when the dual timelines hadn't fully taken the alliance seriously, Lin Sheng couldn't even make a phone call to Conan.

Now it is even less feasible.

Perhaps TDD's material production can lift such a blockade after utilizing Lin Sheng's own time-traveling effect.

But Lin Sheng cannot "use" a human being like he "uses" an object.

The Minister of Narrative Studies expressed deep regret over this incident.

"Except our physical makeup isn't part of this reality."

"Otherwise, we will never be able to interfere with the [Black Team] in reality."

"So, in the final analysis, we still have to take the perspective of the [Gray Side] that Conan acknowledges..."

……

The gin and vodka never felt fortified, though.

The entrance to a newly opened official underground black market.

Gin and Vodka are now standing at the door of the brightly lit "Black Market" sign.

"Boss!! Are we really going in?!"

Vodka's tone was full of insecurity and ominous meaning.

Vodka felt that the world was going crazy!

Since when did the government start doing this kind of underground business that makes no money at all?!

Four GSSRA soldiers stood at the door with loaded guns. They were fully armed, from rifles to individual rocket launchers.

Everything is available. Behind them, an M4240 mm anti-aircraft gun vehicle stands at the door to deter thugs.

The voices playing in different languages in turn on the radio at the door made Gin's eyes twitch.

"Everyone must register! We will not share your information with any police or military departments. Everyone can rest assured about data leaks!"

……

This was a compromise that GSSRA had to make after clearing out the underground trade in Tokyo and even across Japan.

"Why are there still so many illegal and contraband items flowing out of Beika Town?!"

The head of the Special Investigations Section (APIUTA), established within the GSSRA's Tokyo headquarters' investigative department, has changed four times in just a few days. "After all, this is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world. Given GSSRA's current operational capabilities, all we can do is increase the frequency of our raids, or..."

"Or what?"

Faced with the plan submitted by the Decision Analysis Room, the assistant looked a little strange.

"Or we can set up an underground black market exchange center ourselves while increasing the frequency."

"Then do it!"

Ide Kenji didn't care at all that this might seem unmannerly. If their Tokyo Investigation Headquarters didn't make some progress—

Four other equally important investigation departments from all over the world are about to take over their authority!

"Within three days! I want only officially established black markets to exist in the entire Tokyo metropolitan area. Do you understand?!"

"Yes! I'll do it right away!"

……

So let vodka and gin——

No, what happened was that the entire Tokyo underground was once again in turmoil.

It’s not that no one has come up with such bold ideas.

For example, using this information to threaten government departments, or simply exposing it for fun.

The only result they could get was that it all disappeared.

This is the reinforcement given to the [Red Team] by the [Real Timeline], and both the Alliance and the storyline tacitly did not interfere with such an action.

The alliance believes that this behavior is precisely conducive to the goal of "reducing the violent crime rate" and makes it easier to monitor the behavior of the [Red Team].

For the [story timeline], it is not good to force the stage of reality too much.

After all, the [real timeline] also makes up for part of the "unreasonable" story background.

"Many brave people have already gone in to explore the area, and they certainly haven't disclosed any subsequent information to the police..."

Vodka understood Gin's words that he must go in today. He swallowed and felt a little nervous.

"But our organization—"

"No buts! This place doesn't check the authenticity of IDs, they just register casually! We have our fake identities ready!"

Then, Gin's face turned very ugly and he shook his head.

"They've shut down almost 80% of the black market. Even if there are private black markets now, the prices are too high, not to mention the quality!"

This is also the reason why underground gangs, espionage organizations, and criminal organizations quickly surrendered to the official black market.

The official products are of better quality and cheaper.

This even brings a considerable amount of additional financial income to GSSRA.

"Anyway, Vodka, if you can't get enough dynamite and detonators, you'll shut up!"

Gin, who was used to organizing support bombs and equipment, was actually not used to this.

But this time there was really no time for him to obtain additional explosives through additional smuggling channels.

Because the [story timeline] is advanced again, or in other words, the time range of the [cycle] is expanded.

After the alliance detected the occurrence of the [Loop], Gin, who felt that he was unlucky, received another call from the Boss.

"Gin, I've heard about what's going on in Tokyo lately. GSSRA? That's really interesting..."

"...In short, I believe you can complete this mission. The transaction location is on the Tokaido Shinkansen. The higher-ups are all paying attention to Tokyo right now, and the organization's base in Tokyo can't be withdrawn."

Perhaps only when it comes to weaving the "story" does the [Story Timeline] appear to be a little cautious.

Looking up at the signboard not far away, Gin recalled the last words Boss said before he hung up.

"So the organization needs you to make some noise and get back the 400 million yen."

"This mission shouldn't be difficult, Gin, don't let me down."

Gin buried himself completely in the familiar black windbreaker, his silver-white hair shining coldly in the early morning mist.

There was a hint of coldness in his voice in the dark night.

"Let's go, Vodka."

"We'll have some luck this time."
