Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Sure enough, Sano laughed after looking at Shuichi Akai for a few seconds.

"Hey, you don't actually think I'm here to help her, do you?"

"……what?"

Sano touched the scar on his face again: "Do you know how I got this scar? Let me tell you, it was caused by a rat-like executive who backstabbed me."

"teammate."

Sano pointed at Vermouth.

"mouse."

Sano then pointed at Shuichi Akai.

"It's a perfect match!"

Hearing Sano's words, Vermouth's pupils gradually narrowed: "Could it be..."

"That's right, my purpose in being here is not to help anyone."

Sano's eyes were cold as he revealed a cheerful yet kind smile: "I just wanted to vent my anger, to put it bluntly..."

"That means none of you here are going to live today."

Chapter 423, Section 422: I didn't turn off the gas stove.

That's right.

This is Sano's "plan".

But there's nothing we can do about it.

The situation was in complete chaos, utterly chaotic.

If you want things to get even more chaotic, Sano really can't think of any other way.

Based on Sano's experience.

The normal course of events should be that the situation becomes chaotic first, and then Sano can bring it under control.

To put it more bluntly, the target was in danger, and Sano eliminated the danger.

Although it doesn't seem like Conan always encounters any danger.

Sano's side will react.

But at such an important moment, there should be no reaction.

That's why Sano found it strange.

Therefore—Sano plans to weigh Conan again.

To be precise, it includes everyone, including Conan.

Regardless of the actual probability, a larger base will generally increase the chances of shipment.

In any case, Sano's "targets" have never been just Conan's side.

It's not like Gin and Sano haven't been saved before.

...This isn't extortion or threats from Sano; he's not threatening to cause trouble if he doesn't get money.

Sano was simply correcting mistakes.

That's right.

This is pointing out bugs and vulnerabilities; it's a well-intentioned act!

...Of course, Vermouth, Shuichi Akai, and the others would definitely not think so.

Sano's words contained goodwill.

The development of this whole incident tonight was undoubtedly very, well, surprising.

People keep tearing off their masks and revealing their identities.

Unexpected outsiders keep entering the game.

In short, it's all about twists and turns, and endless reversals.

Sano's actions can actually be considered a nested pattern.

First, it was through the appearance of Shuichi Akai, his approach to Calvados, and that greeting.

Then came another reversal—a super reversal.

To be fair, even if Vermouth never considered this person a true teammate from the beginning.

I feel that this guy's appearance might do more harm than good.

The chances of them genuinely wanting to help me are probably slim.

Belmod really didn't expect that.

This guy came here actually to kill me.

Weren't we having a great chat just a few days ago?

And what does it have to do with Vermouth if other rats backstab her?

This is nothing but a deep-seated grudge, an innocent victim caught in the crossfire.

...Although the other party just said that this was just a pure act of venting anger.

A chill ran through me for a few seconds, leaving the air deathly still.

Shuichi Akai and Vermouth exchanged a glance. The two sides, who had been facing each other with swords drawn, now tacitly turned their guns on Sano.

"Calvados!"

At Vermouth's command, Calvados hesitated.

Calvados also heard Sano's words.

But after all, Sano had just saved him, so he wasn't actually held at gunpoint.

Calvados was at a loss for what to do and turn his gun on Sano.

Sano stood alone on the opposite side of everyone below, yet remained calm.

...still no response.

Is it because the heat wasn't high enough?

Sano let out a sigh of relief; there was nothing he could do then.

All I could do was unleash my true killing intent.

With a flick of his left hand, three lollipops of different colors appeared between his fingers.

"Come!"

Sano straightened his body, ready to strike.

In fact, the time wasted with Shuichi Akai had long since worn off Sano's 100% bullet-dodging ability, which should have been disadvantageous for him.

Does it matter?

Does that mean Sano can't kill enemies without that gun?

No, it's still possible.

And because it is a different pattern and state than before.

Sano, on the contrary, became inexplicably excited.

But just then... seemingly impressed by Sano, the mission finally arrived.

The content is very simple: ensure the survival of the mission objective.

This is an old copywriting piece.

Yes, you can still squeeze it out if you try.

It's worth mentioning, however, that there are two missions, each with different objectives.

Judging from the map's location, they represent two people on Vermouth's side, and five people on Akai Shuichi and Conan's side.

This is a bit troublesome.

Because if the only requirement is to ensure the survival of one side, then it's possible, whether it's Sano's current identity or a self-directed and self-acted drama.

All of these can be easily ended.

But both sides have to survive.

So relying solely on Sano's rye vest is definitely not going to work.

If it's self-directed and self-acted.

It's not that it's impossible, but... it just feels a bit awkward.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that a problem can be solved by staging a self-directed drama.

Sano's rye vest will most likely be trampled on.

This makes it even more uncomfortable... even if it's actually Sano stepping on himself.

……Wait a moment.

Is it possible that the "danger factor" for both sides is actually just Sano alone?

After all, if it weren't for Sano's guidance, this mission might never have happened.

If Sano had simply chosen to abstain, would no one have died tonight?

Sano wouldn't need to do anything more?

In the few seconds that Sano was thinking, Shuichi Akai and the others felt somewhat confused.

...Just a moment ago it looked so menacing, why did it suddenly stop moving?

Look at that pensive expression, is he thinking about how to take action?

Suddenly, Sano raised his eyes.
