Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Sonoko once said that if two people ride a Ferris wheel together and hold hands when they reach the top, they will be blessed by the gods and find happiness together…

Thinking of this, Xiaolan's face became even rosier.

"...Xiao Lan? Xiao Lan?"

It wasn't until Longye called Xiaolan several times that she came to her senses: "I...I'm fine. Let's go home!"

After taking Xiaolan home, Longye returned home and opened his control panel.

Over the past few years, Longye has raised his five dimensions and some useful skills to the highest S level.

To make life more comfortable, he also used Destiny Coins to exchange for a large sum of money and some special ammunition.

Of course, just in case, he still kept more than a hundred Destiny Coins, which he could use to buy the skills or items he needed in the system shop at any time, just in case.

He had also secretly tested his own limits.

Such feats include smashing boulders with a fist, stopping cars with bare hands, and accurately shooting down the left wing of a mosquito from 3 kilometers away.

These things that offended Newton so badly are nothing to him now.

Add to that all sorts of gadgets and abilities... it's fair to say that he's practically a humanoid Gundam now!

Nothing could threaten him or bind him except his inner sense of morality.

Do as you please, anything is permitted!

Thinking of this, Longye looked at the starry sky outside the window and felt an extraordinary sense of peace.

Chapter 22 A Familiar Bomb

...

The next morning

Cup House Shopping Mall

Ryūno and Rin walked to the entrance of the Ferris wheel.

I don't know why, but even though it was a holiday, there weren't many people.

And... the proportion of couples seems to be quite high.

However, Longye didn't think much of it. He glanced at the towering Ferris wheel and then at the crowd nearby, saying, "Looks like we don't need to queue. Let's go, Xiaolan!"

Xiao Lan, who was standing to the side, kept staring at Long Ye's face, her little hands sometimes opening and sometimes clenching.

Upon hearing Longye's words, she lowered her head instantly, like a frightened bird, her face flushed.

"Ok!"

Xiaolan took a deep breath, raised her head, and walked with Longye towards the Ferris wheel ticket office.

After buying their tickets, they finally entered the Ferris wheel cabin.

Before the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, Longye suddenly received a system notification in his mind.

[Red-level malice detected nearby!]

After enabling the system's malicious detection function, the system will automatically mark and alert anyone with malicious intent appearing within a certain range.

The only problem with this system's functionality is that this "malice" isn't necessarily aimed at Longye; it lacks specificity.

Upon hearing the system's notification, Longye immediately looked outside the Ferris wheel. The person marked with red "malicious" by the system was right at the entrance of the Ferris wheel.

"Red-level malice..."

The malicious detection function has three levels, from low to high: green, yellow, and red.

Green signifies malice, similar to a prank, and generally poses little danger, so it can be largely ignored.

Yellow indicates malice, meaning the carrier clearly intends to harm someone, but the harm is minor and generally does not involve life-threatening situations.

As for the red level of malice... it represents a strong desire for revenge and murderous intent, and it is a level that the system will definitely provide a notification for.

What puzzled Longye was that his own "danger warning" skill did not detect any danger.

Even without the system's "malice detection" function, he can instantly detect any approaching danger using his danger warning skills.

But now, the system has detected the red level of malice, yet he feels nothing.

This shows that the person with the red malice was not targeting him.

With that thought in mind, Longye stopped paying attention to the person with malice.

Since he posed no threat to him or Xiaolan, there was no need for him to concern himself with the matter.

He is not a "cosmic policeman," and he would never interfere in other people's affairs without a reason.

With that thought, Longye pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at the scenery outside the Ferris wheel.

After a while, he sensed something was wrong, because Xiaolan had been very silent ever since she got on the Ferris wheel.

He looked at Xiaolan sitting opposite him and noticed that she wasn't looking at the scenery around her, but instead kept her head down staring at the floor.

Her fists clenched and unclenched intermittently, as if she was hesitating and afraid of something.

Seeing Xiaolan's appearance, Longye understood.

This child was probably riding a Ferris wheel for the first time and was a little scared.

Thinking of this, Longye chuckled to himself, thinking, "That's what a child should be like!"

She's always learning to cook and practicing karate; she's too mature for her age, not like a child at all. This is more like normal for her now!

So he reached out and took Xiaolan's hand, gently telling her not to be afraid.

"ah!…"

Ran was startled when she noticed Ryuno's actions.

After glancing up at Long Ye's gentle expression, she lowered her head again.

But this time, she showed a sweet smile, and her face was flushed.

Seeing that Xiaolan still seemed a little scared, Longye encouraged her, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you."

After hearing Longye's words, Xiaolan simply replied with a soft "Mm..."

In this atmosphere, the two spent a short Ferris wheel ride.

After getting off the Ferris wheel, Xiaolan's face was no longer as flushed as before.

But the red hue didn't fade; instead, it transformed into a smile that was always on his face.

Before he even left the Ferris wheel area, Longye's danger warning skill was suddenly triggered.

He immediately turned around and looked at the Ferris wheel.

Finally, his gaze settled on the Ferris wheel cabin marked with number 72.

Thinking of that person with red malice from before, Longye asked, "Xiaolan, what's the date today?"

"Is today the fifth?"

“January 5th…” After hearing Xiaolan’s answer, Longye guessed what was going on.

The danger warning skill wasn't triggered before, but it has now. This means that the person with the red malice has done something during this time.

For example—a bomb was planted.

...

Longye remembered that the bomber who escaped four years ago would send a criminal letter to the Metropolitan Police Department every January 6th to retaliate against the police.

Officer Matsuda Jinpei is supposed to volunteer to sacrifice himself tomorrow.

However, unlike the original story, he had already saved Kenji Hagiwara four years earlier, so Matsuda Jinpei was not transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.

So, does this mean Matsuda Jinpei might not be involved in this incident?

Without his involvement, the police might not have been able to decipher the criminal's code, potentially leading to the bomb exploding.

Or perhaps the police deciphered the code, but the bomb disposal expert who boarded the Ferris wheel was not a selfless hero like Matsuda Jinpei.

For their own safety, they might disarm the bomb directly, thus losing the location of the second bomb's explosion, ultimately causing numerous innocent civilian casualties.

At this point, things may deviate from their original course.
