Chapter 105: The Game Behind the Existence of the Black Market (Please Vote QAQ)

Why did the black market become like this?!

For the Tokyo headquarters investigation department, this was a development they had never anticipated.

This is also why the soldiers stationed outside hate their missions.

No one knows how this black market, which was originally used for smuggling, underground connections and the trading of small amounts of guns and ammunition, has become the behemoth it is today.

It's as if they were completely out of the Special Investigations Unit's control after they agreed to set them up.

They became another kind of living thing, like some kind of out-of-control life form, and began to expand, grow and develop rapidly with self-awareness.

"What do you mean we can't shut down those black markets?!"

The veins on Ide Kenji's forehead bulged, he had never regretted so much.

This man who still had a conscience in his heart was not completely bad enough. Kenji Ide never expected that his approval would give birth to such a monster.

He never imagined that his approval would have such consequences.

There was a hint of helplessness and even a trembling in the subordinate's voice when he responded to him.

"The specific division of profits and the power of the various official and black markets has been completed! Your Excellency! We have no power to interfere with the normal operations of those 'legal' ones!"

Some holes, once opened, are difficult to close.

What's even worse is that all the arms dealers never expected that this magical land seemed to have an endless thirst for weapons.

No matter how much weapons and ammunition they brought, they would be sold out the next day—

They sold like crazy!
Now, there is no way to stop them except by hanging them.

Lin Sheng slammed his fist on the desk, his voice filled with a stern chill.

"Then hang them all!"

This is definitely not a phenomenon that can be caused by just GSSRA or a few military-industrial complexes.

The Alliance watched helplessly as "one day" in the [cycle] passed.

Those black markets that were originally normal and stable were immediately completely occupied by another deeper "order".

Fortunately, GSSRA's intelligence is completely transparent to the Alliance—

The Alliance was the first to learn that Gin appeared in the 13th underground black market base.

Lin Sheng doesn't remember this plot, after all, GSSRA never existed in the original novel.

"What the hell is [Story Timeline] doing?!"

Lin Sheng stared at the scene displayed on the screen.

"Does it want the entire Tokyo, or even the entire Japan, to become a place of criminals?!"

This is undoubtedly the [storyline's] response to the Alliance's desire to make the world a safer place.

This is a test, a provocation.

[Story Timeline] Forcing the Alliance to take action.

"This is a trap," Shigenobu Hitomi's voice was calm, her anger suppressed. "They're trying to use the winery's influence to make this matter a permanent part of reality after the [Cycle]."

“[The story timeline] tries to get the league to respond in this way.”

GSSRA is a product guided by the [real timeline] and has nothing to do with the story.

Because of this, the [story timeline] doesn't care how these black markets destroy the world's order.

For it, it's just a means to advance the story.

Whether in the [Loop] or in reality, it now has enough power to protect the safety of [Kudo Shinichi] and the people he cares about.

"It wants us to have a head-on conflict with [real timeline]."

"As long as the Alliance or the [Gray Party] use their power to acquire or even intercept those products, the GSSRA will discover that there are forces to contend with them."

What's worse is that under the guidance of the [story timeline], even the voices within GSSRA opposing the expansion of these black markets were suppressed.

"Reject Tokyo Headquarters' application to abolish the black market."

The GSSRA Strategic Command rejected APIUTA’s application for revocation without hesitation.

For the Strategic Command, human life is a number that requires comparison. No matter how rampant the underground criminal organizations are, the damage they cause cannot compare to the horror brought by nuclear weapons.

There is no need to compare the damage caused by nuclear bombs and the damage caused by underground criminal organizations.

"If they are truly a peaceful organization as the intelligence claims, they will definitely take action."

Another voice seemed hesitant. "What if they really can't help but refrain from taking action?"

"I don't believe they can really sit still. Not to mention that those devices are usually added with traceability codes and tracking devices."

"Even if they can remain silent, those within the GSSRA who are loyal to that organization will automatically jump out. Whether that organization makes a move to protect them or not, we won't lose out."

"As for those rats who come to buy these weapons, they're just salesmen who come to our door..."

And this is indeed the case. The [Story Timeline] undoubtedly hits the Alliance's sore spot.

The league now has to step in to stop this.

Unlike GSSRA, he knows nothing about the dual timeline theory and Conan's RSI anomalous effects.

The Alliance knows how terrible the impact of this change in the criminal environment will be on Conan.

If the world's criminal environment changes radically, even if only Tokyo's criminal environment changes—

What will become of Conan?
He would immediately immerse himself in the need to solve the case at hand, and his sense of justice would drive him to immediately start solving one case after another.

Once you understand the existence of the "black market," you don't even have to worry about the original plot. This perpetual cycle will ensure that the story line will never have to worry about future development.

Seeing the analysis of the future executive level made Lin Sheng grit his teeth.

"This is undoubtedly a bait, but we must take it."

"Have the Gray Party start contacting people within the GSSRA. We need to expose this matter or completely destroy this black market!"

The existence of these black markets even gave Lin Sheng some bad associations.

He would never allow the [story timeline] to develop in a way similar to "Detective Conan: The Prisoner Mr. Fumizawa".

With the support of the alliance, the [Gray Team] immediately took action.

In fact, just like those soldiers who were disgusted by this behavior, this act that undoubtedly trampled on justice made the [Gray Side] unexpectedly gain support from all parties.

Among them are many people in high positions.

Although GSSRA has always tried its best to portray "Science Frontiers" as a terrorist organization that attempts to trigger a nuclear war.

But there are always some smart people who discover the true purpose of this organization.

With the support of the alliance, just as Lin Sheng said to reduce the overall crime rate in human society, "Science Frontier" has begun to provide agricultural and production technology support to some small countries.

This kind of behavior of destroying nuclear weapons and sharing production technology is definitely not something a terrorist organization can do.

However, the [story timeline] cannot allow such a future.

In order to completely thwart the Alliance's utopian vision of human society as a whole—

[Story Timeline] GSSRA was fully utilized, taking advantage of the fear of "uncontrollable variables" among those major powers.

Even taking advantage of the [real timeline's] indifference to this.

"Any attempt to pollute the overall tone of the world in the dual timeline must be stopped immediately!"

For the first time, Lin Sheng psychologically felt that these almost countless futures and infinite time were not enough for him.

"In this [cycle], we must divert most of the [story timeline's] energy to our struggle for dominance over Conan!"

"Gin's appearance proves that this [loop] must be the main plot! Hasn't the executive team confirmed the next case?!"

Even [Story Timeline] feels that this is not enough.

Just when Lin Sheng was asking the entire [Gray Side] and the Alliance to quickly respond and make certain adjustments to the next plan.

Lin Sheng's pupils suddenly dilated again. He saw the intelligence that the action team had just received, which was reported to him by Future Pupil.

In the alliance's [circulation], all departments with expatriates in the scientific world immediately received the highest level of emergency notification.

"Immediately notify all alliance members on missions outside to remove their TDDs!"

"This is an order!"
