Shirou's clones number 30 million

Chapter 407, Section 408: Boss, we request to rejoin the team.

"Akami Miyano, someone has come to pick you up. Once you leave, don't come back."

"Yes."

Following the policewoman's gaze, Miyano Akemi looked towards the door and, as expected, Detective Hayami was standing next to a black car.

Beside him were two young girls.

One was a blonde girl who looked to be about 14 years old. She was quite affectionate with Detective Hayami, so they were probably family.

The other girl looked exactly like Shiho Miyano when she was a child; they were practically identical.

If it weren't for the age discrepancy, she would definitely have thought her younger sister had come to visit her.

'I never imagined there were children in the world who looked so much like Shiho. I wonder where Detective Hayami found her?'

'Could it be that Mom had another child without telling us before she died?'

Miyano Akemi, lost in thought, slowly walked over.

"Detective Hayami, thanks to you, I was released from prison early."

As they were talking, she noticed the child who looked exactly like her sister and suddenly hugged him.

"Sister! I miss you so much..."

This familiar feeling left Akemi Miyano stunned for a while before she came to her senses and tentatively asked:

"Is it... Shiho?"

"Yes, it's me." Shiho Miyano hugged her tightly, sobbing softly. "I thought you were dead. I never imagined you were still alive. I'm sorry I haven't visited you in the past five years."

"No need to apologize. I told Detective Hayami not to tell you where I am."

Akemi Miyano looked surprised, then quickly realized what was happening, gently stroking her hair, her mind unconsciously thinking:

Previously, Detective Hayami had said more than once that Shiho had become someone he could no longer recognize.

At the time, I thought he meant that Shiho's personality had changed.

Unexpectedly, this is how things have changed.

Instead of growing up, she became five years younger, as if she was aging in reverse.

After the two had confided in each other for a while, Hayami Shirou slowly walked over and suggested:

"Let's go, the hotel is already booked. Let's have a welcome dinner first, and then... we can have a proper chat."

He suddenly reached out as if he had grabbed something out of thin air.

"What's wrong?" Miyano Akemi asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, I just caught a fly that was buzzing around."

Hayami Shirou glanced back at the rooftop of the building several hundred meters away, put the thing in his hand into his pocket, and reached out again to grab "something" that was attacking from afar.

"Flies again?" Akemi Miyano asked again.

Hayami Shirou smiled slightly and said with great certainty:

"Yes, it's a fly."

"Why would you put flies in your pocket? It's so dirty!"

Sanzenin Nagi tried to reach into Hayami Shirou's pocket, but as soon as her fingertips touched his clothes, he grabbed her hand.

"If you know it's dirty, then don't touch it. Be careful not to get your hands dirty."

"What? It can't possibly be a fly!" Sanzenin Nagi scoffed and didn't press the matter further.

"Just think of it as a fly, it's all pretty much the same anyway."

"Huh...? Could it be a cicada?"

"More or less. Let's go, this isn't the place to talk, let's go to the hotel and chat."

After getting on the train, Hayami Shirou took a pebble from another pocket and threw it out the window.

"What did you throw away again?" Sanzenin Nagi asked in surprise.

"Why are you so concerned about what I throw away? I'm just throwing away cigarette butts."

"I've never seen you smoke. Besides, who would put a cigarette butt in their pocket?"

"Well... famous detectives always have some quirks."

As the car started, the cobblestone that Hayami Shiro had thrown away rolled into the alleyway and instantly transformed into human form.

"Mimicry—Cute King! Invisibility!"

To avoid being seen and to avoid surveillance cameras, Hayami Shirou, like his other self, always carried with him pebbles that were transformed from his shadow clones.

In this way, when it's inconvenient to do it personally, you can use shadow clones to solve the problem.

……

On the rooftop of the building, members of the black-clad organization, led by Gin, were running rapidly down the stairs.

"Brother, why are we leaving?"

"Shut up, Vodka!"

Thinking of what he had just seen through the sniper's lens, Gin frowned and quickened his pace.

Last night, he received a list from Vermouth of prisoners who had been released early for good behavior.

The moment Gin saw Akemi Miyano's name, he immediately realized who she was.

Five years ago, her body disappeared not for any other reason, but simply because she hadn't died.

Although she was only an outer member of the organization and didn't know any important information, she was Shiho Miyano's older sister, and her special status meant that only she could be executed by him personally.

He heard from Vermouth that Hayami Shirou visits Miyano Akemi every month, and considering that she might be there, he brought three of his subordinates with him.

But who would have thought that the warhead would be caught by someone with bare hands?

To avoid misreading the target, he deliberately changed targets and fired a second shot.

However, it was caught bare-handed as expected, without any suspense.

At that moment, besides shock, he felt bewilderment and incomprehension, and his immediate thought was to run away.

The opponent is a monster who can easily catch even sniper bullets; no matter how many people there are, they can't win.

Perhaps the other party has already discovered them.

Looking back now, it's clear that someone who can become world-famous in just a few years is no ordinary person.

Perhaps Vermouth had already noticed his unusual behavior, which is why she gave him this list, intending to use it to get rid of him.

Just then, a series of footsteps came from below.

At the same time, there was also an oppressive aura, as if a ferocious beast was about to pounce.

Gin frowned slightly, picked up his gun, and slowly walked down.

Turning the corner of the stairs, a beautiful blue-haired girl (or boy) came into view.

Unlike Vodka and his group, who subconsciously relaxed their vigilance, Gin was on high alert and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

However, the bullet bounced off the skin without leaving a mark, and even the clothes were completely undamaged.

"I hereby declare that you are all my prisoners."

With that crisp sound, Gin and the others froze in place, completely unable to move.

monster!

“Killing him directly would be a waste, but if we put him in prison, he’ll definitely be rescued.”

"Alright, from today onwards, you'll be my informant, and that'll be your way of redeeming yourself."

How could I possibly agree to that?

No! This monster isn't talking to me; it's just talking to itself.

Just as he realized this, Gin caught a glimpse of Vodka kneeling on the ground, his face covered in tears, with an expression of pilgrimage.

"Master! You've finally come to find me!"

"How disgusting, let's try something else."

Immediately afterward, Vodka wiped away his tears, stood up straight, and said with utmost seriousness:

"Boss, I request to rejoin the team."

Can this guy freely modify other people's memories and personalities?

Gin felt a sense of panic and tried his best not to look into the other person's eyes, but with only his eyeballs able to move, there was no way to escape.

The next moment, his consciousness also gradually became blurred.

"Boss, Kurosawa Jin requests to rejoin the team."

Chapter 408 You actually made me dress as a woman

Chapter 408, Section 409: You Actually Made Me Dress as a Woman

“I hate playing with other people’s memories and feelings; I believe this is a bottom line as a human being.”

"However, sometimes we can be flexible, don't you think? Gin."

Hayami Shirou (in his clone), who resembled the Rimuru, looked at Gin and the others with a half-smile.

"Yes, boss."

"Never mind, you wouldn't understand what I'm saying anyway."

In Gin and his friends' minds, they had always been undercover agents sent by the famous detective Shirou Hayami to infiltrate the Black Organization, and were in direct contact with the person in front of them.

As for memory modification, this falls under the category of cognitive impairment for them.

"By the way, the poison that Shiho Miyano researched before, I think it was called APTX-4869, do you still have it?"

"Have."
