Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Sato Kiyoshi is still sitting behind his mahogany desk. We haven’t seen him for a long time. His waist is still straight and he looks in good spirits.

It is indeed a scourge that has lasted for thousands of years.

"Hey." Sato Kiyoshi pushed the frame of the mirror, "You actually brought a gift to the door today. It's really rare. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Old man, you meant what you said. I can't bring you some gifts to see you if you don't mind. Didn't I get a batch of good tea recently? I immediately thought of you, old man."

"Oh, if nothing happens, you can leave. I have something else to do."

"Well, that's right. I have a distant relative who plans to come and live in Tokyo recently. As you know, it's not easy for her to be a little girl. She majors in broadcasting and hosting. I think..."

"Five manuscripts."

"Ok?"

"I can let her work at Rimai TV Station and arrange for her to live in an independent employee apartment. If she performs well, I can also give her priority in providing her with high-quality resources in the station. But the premise of all this is that you have to write me five articles."

"Forehead."

"I'm not tricking you, Ren. Think about it for yourself, have you not provided me with manuscripts for a long time recently?" Sato Qing stood up and walked to Lu Ren, patting Lu Ren with his skinny eagle-claw hands. "Didn't you ask Ichihara to help you get an invitation to the Halloween party two days ago? The great director died on the ship. This is very good news."

"..."

Is it so difficult to catch a fish?

Chapter 388 Reaching Consensus

"Akai Shuichi is so strong?"

"Yeah." Lu Ren sat back on the sofa and told Haiyuan about the damage ratio of last night's battle. "I guess he is really anxious. Bellmore's plan was quite successful this time."

Belmode himself was almost uninjured, and although Calvados was seriously injured, at least his life was saved.

As for Tequila…

Belongs to waste utilization. He should have died long ago. Now he is only missing one hand, but it does not affect his ability to cultivate new blood for the organization.

"Then where are you?" Haiyuan suddenly asked, "What you just talked about was what others were doing."

"Me? I was watching the show live. The Red Witch and I were together last night. We watched the show invisible next to them. Apart from being a bit bored and the wind on the pier being a bit strong, it was actually pretty good and quite safe."

"That's it. That's good."

"Okay, the FBI and the organization have finished talking. Now it's time to talk about the problems we face."

"Ah."

"First, maybe in a few days, someone from the FBI will contact you and ask you to participate in the witness protection program or something."

Haiyuan shook his head, "Skip this one."

"The second thing is that my identity has been exposed. Conan is a bit uneasy. He thought I was the former KGB..." Lu Ren told Haiyuan again the basis for Conan's guess.

"Then you are?" After Huiyuan listened quietly, he stared at Lu Ren seriously.

Lu Ren did not answer the question directly, but just said: "I can be it if necessary."

"Okay. I understand. You don't have to worry about this. I'll go back to the doctor's house in the afternoon and explain it to Edogawa face to face."

Lu Ren frowned: "How about we come together? Will he believe what you say now?"

"It should be no problem." Haiyuan got up from the single sofa next to him, sat down next to Lu Ren, reached out and started to rub the big orange in Lu Ren's arms.

"Sometimes you don't want to be too rational when thinking about problems. It's okay to be a little emotional. After all, we have been with Edogawa for a while, and we have experienced a lot between each other. There must be a certain basis of trust. He is now Just needing an explanation and being angry and upset that you kept distrusting him and keeping him hidden.”

"Maybe." Lu Ren lowered his head and stared at Haiyuan's hand. After looking at it for a while, he covered Haiyuan's hand with his own.

Haiyuan was so shocked that he subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, but failed. The moment she twitched, Lu Ren seemed to have expected it and directly held her hand with his backhand.

Haiyuan tried twitching again, but it still didn't twitch, so he let him hold it. Although it was unclear why Lu Ren suddenly held her hand, after holding it for a while, Haiyuan began to feel an inexplicable sense of security.

Lu Ren suddenly said: "Have you lost weight? It hurts your hands a bit."

"..."

Shark's heart gradually rises·JPG.

"Actually, I feel like you're still a little optimistic."

"How to say?"

"Except for what you just said. What makes Conan most angry and even disgusted now is that my actions are inconsistent with his three views. I had an argument with him before. Because he felt that I was standing idly by without help. Now I don't want to do anything. It’s the same. He knows that I personally protected a criminal.”

"Ok?"

"This happened before you came." Lu Ren briefly told Haiyuan the story of Asai Makoto on Yueying Island.

After listening to this, Huiyuan was not moved and asked, "So why did you protect him? His story is very tragic. But we have seen many criminals with similar experiences. I have the impression that you have never intervened."

Lu Ren thought for a moment, "This is just like me saving your sister. I can't give a specific and reasonable explanation or reason. But I did it."

"Yes." After hearing this, Haibara's expression softened a lot, "It's okay. You don't have to worry about it. Just do it. I'll explain it to him on the Edogawa side. He will listen."

"First of all, if he wants to restore his true form, he can only rely on me to provide the antidote. Unless Mao Lilan can accept the relationship between a sister and a brother who are ten years apart." Haiyuan is very confident in this aspect, but Conan's weaknesses are too obvious. , "Secondly, I actually deceived him several times before."

"Ok?"

"I specifically frightened him several times. I said that the organization later found me, and I became an undercover agent of the organization in order to survive. I would kill him after collecting the information. At first he would be frightened, but after a few times he was completely You thought I was joking."

Lu Ren didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only pat Haiyuan's hand to show his approval. "That's it, let me think about what else I haven't told you. Oh, yes, Bellmore helped me. She told the FBI that Honesty Asai is actually Glen. I'm just an innocent passerby. I guess this can Deceive Judy. But it’s impossible from Akai Shuichi. It just depends on whether Akai Shuichi will cover for me.”

"Is this possible?"

"There should be a possibility. When you were sick earlier, he was outside the doctor's house. I fully exchanged views with him and reached a preliminary consensus."

"Can you please tell me?"

"It's nothing inconvenient." Lu Ren let go of Haiyuan's hand and pointed to the place where the band-aid was previously attached. Now it's basically healed, leaving only a very light and thin scar, "He scratched me this time. I punched him in the eye."

"..." Haiyuan couldn't restrain her desire to complain. The corners of her eyes twitched a few times, "Don't tell me, you guys developed feelings and started to cherish each other just like what was written in the comics."

"How is that possible? In fact, it was a short confrontation. If he and I had used our full strength, I would have been disfigured and he would have died." Lu Ren touched the scar on his face.

"I won't be able to save half of my face at that time. But in the end, it's me who wins. Because my fist hit his eyes. I can blacken his eye sockets, poke or blow out his eyes, and then It would take his life. You see, between the two opposing parties, if one side chooses to stop when it has the advantage, this is actually a signal to release friendship. I am not his companion, but I am not his enemy either. That day he and I both Gambling."

"You..." Haiyuan didn't know what to say, and finally let out a long sigh.

"It's too dangerous to do that."

"But if you don't do this, you can't win the other party's trust by just relying on verbal negotiations. I can only get what I want by putting my life on the line to defeat him. After all, my identity is there, unlike others , with official endorsement, there is no need to take such risks.”

Haiyuan subconsciously reached out to touch the scar at the corner of Lu Ren's eye, but then realized something was wrong, so he put his hand on Lu Ren's head and began to rub it hard.

Lu Ren lowered his head and did not resist.

After rubbing it for a while, Haiyuan felt much better. She suddenly reacted and narrowed her eyes: "What do you mean by official endorsement and no need to take risks? Are there other traitors in the organization?"

"Yes. Bourbon, you know that, right?"

Huiyuan nodded.

"The bourbon's name is Toru Amuro, a senior executive of the winery, and a member of the intelligence team. His real name is Rei Fangtani, and he is an undercover agent assigned to the organization by the Japanese public security. In the future, when he comes into contact with people like the FBI, he can just reveal his identity."

"..."

"There is also Kir, Mizuno Rena, who will be transferred soon. This level is a little lower, just an ordinary wine-name cadre. Her real name seems to be Hondo Ekai, and she has a younger brother named Hondo Eyou. She is an undercover agent of the CIA. "

After a while, Haiyuan said: "Does the organization know what you are talking about? For example, GIN."

"No. They probably don't know, at least Gin doesn't know. I might be the only one who knows at the moment."

"I'm beginning to believe now that you might really be a KGB."

Chapter 389 Reaching Consensus ()

After having lunch together, Gray Plain resigned and left. Lu Ren wanted to drive her directly to the doctor's house, but Hui Yuan refused. She insisted on going back by herself and refused to let Lu Ren send her off. Seeing her firm attitude, Lu Ren didn't insist anymore.

Anyway, it should be relatively peaceful these days. Basically all the members of the organization were lying dead. The FBI has suffered quite a lot and is probably licking its wounds.

Even if Shuichi Akai doesn't provide cover, the FBI will come to take revenge. That was also aimed at him, not Huiyuan.

The reality is hard to say. As the FBI in Ke Xue World is the main force of the red side, Lu Ren is still very assured of their integrity.

Haiyuan is responsible for solving Conan's affairs. You can put this matter aside for now.

Then there was the promise of five manuscripts from Kiyoshi Sato. Because Shui Wu Lianna might be coming in a few days. Sato Kiyoshi was somewhat humane and did not require Riku Ren to collect five manuscripts before Reina Mizuno arrived. But starting from now, for one month, Lu Ren will be able to submit five manuscripts.

Before that, Sato Kiyoshi promised to let Mizuno Reina work on the TV station. However, priority was given to independent staff dormitories and resources, so we had to wait until Lu Ren handed in all the manuscripts.

The boss gave me the target, and the next step was to find out if there was any suitable news to write. The murder of director Ghost Captain that Kiyoshi Sato mentioned earlier was big news. It’s just not the right time to write anymore. Too much time has passed.

Other news media have already reported on this matter, and there are all versions of it. This matter will no longer be novel to readers. Lu Ren feels that no matter how good his writing is now, readers will probably not buy it. We can only wait and see if there is any big event next.

That is to say, it depends on Shuiwu Lina's luck in the next month. If she is lucky and Lu Ren has the material, she can write five manuscripts in a month. If she is unlucky, she can only rely on her own efforts to find an independent apartment or something.

In fact, there are other solutions, even if the next month is relatively dull and has no explosive points. Lu Ren can also return to his old profession and receive customized documents. That is what the original owner often did, collecting money from this family and writing small articles to smear his opponents.

It's just that Lu Ren feels that a mere helpless person is not worth the effort he has to make. Anyone who has some experience in literary creation knows that custom-made articles are the most difficult to write. Especially when something happens that forces Party A. That is even more torture.

Although he can find a party with Lu Ren's current position, he will have some ideas. But that's also very annoying.

In the final analysis, it still depends on luck.

This matter can also be brought to an end for now. Next comes the main event.

Lu Ren rolled up his sleeves and called out the simulator system elf Xiaoyou again to the bracelet. This time it is not to play games, but to study the emulator itself in depth. If his conjecture comes true, then this blue item will be comparable to, or even more useful than, gold items.

Lu Ren had ideas in this regard before, but he never put them into action. Now that the full moon story is here, you can start to study it slowly.

【Owner. The system wizard Xiaoyou is here to serve you wholeheartedly. Are you ready to start the game now? 】

"No. I don't plan to play games today." Lu Ren conceived the words, "There are two game perspectives in this simulator, one is the God's perspective, and the other is the immersive first-person perspective. Of course, no matter which perspective, I must Just wear this bracelet."

【Yes. 】

"Then can you pull other people's consciousness directly into the game world in immersion mode?"

[No, this behavior violates Blue Star federal regulations. 】

"That means you have the ability to do it, but you just can't do it because it's illegal."

【Yes. 】

"That's simple. This is Earth, not Blue Star. You don't need to comply with Blue Star federal regulations."

【That's not possible either. This is unethical. 】

——What is the name of your robot?

Lu Ren secretly cursed, "Okay, let's change the question. Let's say, I invite someone to enter the virtual game world in the bracelet. He also agreed to my invitation. Under this premise, can you pull him in? .”

Xiaoyou was silent for a long time.

【……Can. 】

"Okay." The corner of Lu Ren's mouth curled up, "As the owner of the simulator, the game world in the bracelet is my other home. The guests I invited to my home were not treated well by me as the owner. Before him, he is not allowed to leave my house privately. Otherwise, he will be a bad guest and it is against the rules of hospitality. Don’t you think so?"

Xiaoyou remained silent for a while.

【……yes. 】

"Okay. You know tricking, right? Tricking is to scare and tease others without their knowledge. Although this kind of tricking is fake, sometimes unexpected things happen, that is, the person being tricked believes it to be true. , and some not-so-wonderful things happened. You must have heard of this, right?"

【heard about it. 】

"Then I, the master, invite guests to play at home. In order to add some fun, I, the master, can also play tricks on the guests. Don't you think so?"

【Yes. 】

"Okay, as mentioned before. Since it is a prank, some guests will definitely believe it. There will also be some not-so-nice things happening. This is inevitable. Don't you think so?"

【Yes. 】

"Okay. You also know that death in the game world is not a real death, and you will still be resurrected. So I killed him in the game world. This is also an interesting prank. Don't you think so?"

【Yes. 】
