Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 6 Actor Lv1
apartment.

After Gao Mo returned home, he slept from morning to afternoon.

Neighbors and supermarket managers were killed one after another.

One of the murderers died and the other was taken away by the police for investigation.

He was tortured quite badly after he was resurrected from the dead.

After getting up and yawning, Gao Mo subconsciously picked up his phone. When he found a series of missed calls, his sleepiness instantly disappeared.

"Isn't it?"

Carefully opening the last email, Gao Mo's mood fluctuated like a roller coaster.

Not a case, but worse than a case.

He climbed out of bed with his messy hair in his hand, opened the refrigerator in a daze and took out the last bottle of ice cola, with only half of his slippers on.

He thought he would lose his job, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Not only him, but the entire group of people who worked that day were fired. It was so brutal.

The reason for the dismissal was that "the relationship between men and women was particularly complicated and affected the company's brand positioning." A group of people are now trying to protest, but the results are not very good.

Most people work part-time, and even if they get any compensation, it is not much.

"Gulp!" Gao Mo rinsed his mouth with ice cola.

As God knows, Xiao Cai was just playing around with ambiguity occasionally, and there was no next step at all. The manager who got a little deeper was also fired.

He is the most innocent of the innocent.

I've only been working for a day and I don't have the energy to think about relationships between men and women.

Is this the mark of the god of death or the mark of the god of bad luck?
Gao Mo looked at his three-bedroom house reluctantly.

1 yen won't last you a few days, it's just enough for a dozen bowls of ramen.

Subsequent water and electricity bills, apartment management fees, property fees, and property taxes, which seem too early...

If I open a detective agency, there will still be a large amount of funding gap.

You can't really get to the point of selling the house.

This is absolutely not possible...Housing is the bottom line, not something we can't survive on.

He had dreamed of having an apartment like this in his previous life.

Besides, my neighbor had just been murdered, so it would be difficult to sell the property in a short time. Whether selling or renting it would be very troublesome...

I miss every minute of working as a cashier... Now I think standing for a whole day is nothing. In the environment where layoffs are everywhere, it is simply a god-like job.

"Let's look for it again."

Gao Mo ruffled his hair in distress, sat down on his favorite seat on the sofa, and looked through his cell phone address book.

The newly added Amuro Toru (Furuya Rei) comes with Takagi Wataru.

It seems that only Yoko Okino is still in contact.

The entertainment industry is very realistic. Most of the connections are fake, and no one will care about you after you retire.

Thinking of Yoko Okino, Gao Mo quickly focused his attention on checking the system text.

There is no news about Rei Furuya's part-time job yet, but I can look into the acting profession first.

You can upgrade just by reading the Green Tea Guide.

He happened to be curious about the effects of the upgrade.

Even if you don't consider future extraordinary achievements, improving your career will also help you make money in your current job.

Gao Mo drank a sip of ice cola to refresh himself, sat up straight, and picked up an entertainment magazine as a projection carrier.

Like his "Outdated Idol", "Green Tea Guide" is also about the mental journey of a female colleague.

perhaps……

Ignoring the tragic family background in the beginning, Gao Mo's expression became more and more strange, especially when he saw himself appear at the back.

The sense of substitution is very subtle.

"3 stars, it's 3 stars after reading it." Gao Mo endured the discomfort and read quickly.

Divorced parents, a sick younger brother, and being toyed with by the rich second generation... Why does this feel so familiar?

My private life is so messy.

Gao Mo changed into a comfortable position.

The female colleague's full name is Matsumoto Aya.

I was actually a fan of his in the past, but I was the kind of fan who hoped for his downfall...

I don’t know when this mentally twisted female colleague started fantasizing countless times about her glamorous idol falling from the clouds, experiencing the cruelty of fate together, and going to hell together.

It was this woman who introduced the out-of-date idol to a job in a supermarket through an anonymous letter.

At that time, the female colleague seemed to have had a conflict with the bald manager. No matter what she did, she couldn't get the bald manager to marry her, and she had been harboring murderous intentions for a month.

The reason why this crime failed can be said to be entirely due to his resurrection from the dead, which almost changed his personality.

Not only did he stand up and proactively retract his phone testimony, but he also happened to encounter a murder in his neighbor's house, blocking his female colleague's escape route, making it impossible for him to shift the blame...

Otherwise, the manager’s wife will probably have to investigate.

"call!"

Gao Mo took a long breath and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The projected text disappeared at some point, and the three stars automatically entered the storage pool.

It's called a Green Tea Guide, but it's more like a biography of a murderer.

Not only the manager, the suicide of the out-of-date idol was also part of this woman's plan, but it was supposed to happen after the manager's case happened.

When the female colleague was taken away by the police in the morning, what made her angry in the end was not his sudden accusation, but the fact that he did not go to complete destruction as planned.

It was as if she resented him for walking into a new life alone.

Really...

Compared with these people, Gao Mo felt like he was just a child who had just grown up.

If I hadn’t read “Green Tea Guide”, I wouldn’t have known that my female colleagues had so many ideas.

In a sense, it was also a great opportunity for him, a bachelor who had lived two lives, to gain new insights.

The faint glow of words reoccupied Gao Mo's vision, and seemed to have the effect of calming his emotions. Gao Mo's mind soon became clear.

When the conditions for upgrading the actor profession are met and 10 stars are deducted, the surface of the magazine page will be damaged and the word "level 1" will appear.

[Current actor level 1, new professional ability added - Quickly enter the role, professional role-playing system loaded successfully.]

[Actor Level 2 upgrade conditions: 20 stars, successfully play 4 roles.]

[Tip: When hiding fails, a new death can divert His attention]

[The Death Mark will not only attract Him, but also those with malicious intent and those lost souls.]

The glowing words continued to float on the surface of the magazine, and at the same time, a large amount of information flooded into Gao Mo's mind.

It was not until then that he seemed to see the full picture of the Fate-Defying System.

Book badges can lead to transcendence and explore the supernatural realm of the Conan world, and currently, upgrading book badges requires a level 5 profession.

As for career advancement, it currently mainly depends on star rating.

Stars are obtained through the task system.

The mission requires participating in a case... No, it seems that hiding oneself also requires a death case.

Is it dark under the lamp?

This aspect is not so bad, the thing that Conan's world has the most is cases.

But "malice" and "lost souls"... refer to people like Matsumoto Aya?

I can't stand one, but there are a group of them...

……

The next level up from the Book Badge is the Silver Badge, and it seems that each level grants a special ability.

Gao Mo became more and more curious.

Rather than cases or work, he wanted to witness the extraordinary.

What will it look like to become extraordinary?

Break the worldview?

Now these mysterious projected texts only affect him, like visual interference, which can be barely explained by science and does not really show any supernatural power.

"Eagle Vision" is also just an auxiliary function.

He needed more extraordinary people, real extraordinary people, preferably those that could be used to deal with the strange thing in the dark - that "Him".

Gao Mo glanced out the window.

I don’t know if it’s because of the two murders or the Fate-Defying System, but that strange feeling has completely disappeared.

He did not let his guard down.

There's definitely something wrong with this Conan world.

He is not attracting "attention" now, but he will definitely be at risk in the future.

It's impossible to hide forever.

……

"Gululu!"

After drinking a bottle of ice cola, my stomach finally couldn't help but start to protest.

Gao Mo then remembered that he had been hungry for a whole day.

We can't count on Chaofan for the time being.

He still has to figure out how to solve his work and life problems on his own.

Let’s contact Yoko first.

Thinking that Yoko Okino might be at work, Gao Mo sent her an email first.

Actor level 1 has the ability to quickly get into a role, which is considered a magical skill in this industry and should be enough to make a living.

"send."

After pressing confirm, Gao Mo felt like a huge stone was lifted from his heart.

Asking someone for help is not an easy thing, especially when the other person is a beautiful junior.

However, in relationships between people, sometimes owing favors is a good thing, and gradually losing contact is really bad.

……

After waiting for a while, there was still no reply.

Yoko seems to be still busy.

Occasionally, two calls come in, both of which are sales calls.

"No! No! I don't need insurance! I don't want a cemetery plot! Do I look like I'm dying?!"

After hanging up the last call angrily, Gao Mo held his forehead with exhaustion.

I don’t know why, but there are so many calls like this, and I can’t block them all.

I'll have to change my account number when I have time, so I can start over.

"Gulu!"

My stomach is still growling.

"It's so late."

Feeling that he wouldn't receive a reply for a while, Gao Mo looked at the time, put aside other things for the time being, and got up to go out.

Eat something first, then go to the Citizens Supermarket.

Before you have new income, you need to budget carefully for more than 10,000 yen. It just so happens that nearby large supermarkets have discounts around this time and clearance sales, so you can buy some cheap food.

If I can’t find a job later, I’ll try to sell the luxury goods at home that my idols use to show off. They’re probably worth some money.

There's no need to brag.
