Chapter 34 Chapter 34

◎Death plus detective double the fun◎

After learning that the woman was Vermouth, Mu'an Jiaxi contacted the system that night to ask what was going on. Vermouth saw her and knew that it was her who made the transaction. She was curious why the system did not deduct points.

As a result, the system seemed to have disappeared, and no matter how she called, it did not respond.

The next morning, she was still asleep when suddenly, a magnified alarm sounded in her head, causing her head to buzz and hurt. She instantly jumped out of bed, "Ah, are you crazy? What are you doing so early in the morning?"

The system immediately apologized, "Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."

Mu An Jiaxi rolled his eyes upon hearing this. He was obviously doing this on purpose. He should be more careful next time. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

She also forgot that she was the one looking for him, and only heard the system say: [Aren’t you looking for me?]

Mu'an Jiaxi slapped his head suddenly, thinking, "Oh, yes, I just have a question. Why didn't any points be deducted for Vermouth? Is there something wrong with your system? It seems like the deduction time is getting later and later recently."

[I'm a bit busy recently, so I can't take care of it. Please forgive me.]

Mu An Jiaxi was curious about what else a machine could be busy with. "You are busy, what else do you have to do? Isn't your job to watch me complete the task?"

[It's about the coordinator. There are some problems in the negotiation with the coordinator. I'm working on a solution now.]

As he spoke, Mu'an Jiaxi recalled something, remembering how her classmates had gone through this, and suddenly she felt a little worried about his business capabilities. Negotiating? He probably meant that as intimidation. Don't offend people, or else all the retaliation will come back on her. Mu'an Jiaxi sarcastically said, "Is that a negotiation? Is that how you negotiate?"

The system knew which one she was talking about. [Currently, this method is the most effective. I've implemented it thousands of times and there will be no problems.]

Mu An Jiaxi didn't bother to care. How could he care? The system was the boss. Whatever it said was the truth. "Whatever you like, fine. Have you negotiated yet? If there's any problem, tell me and I'll solve it for you."

We had agreed on everything and were sending him here, but he suddenly went back midway and changed his mind, so we're still in the process of discussing it.

Mu'an Jiaxi was surprised: "You can go back by yourself."

[Assistants can regret at any time after receiving the task. We do not have any mandatory requirements. Once regretted, they can return at any time.]

Mu An Jia Xi was incredulous and said, "Is this the difference? Can I regret it? I want to go back too."

[The tasker does not have this permission]

"If they change their minds, then why don't you just find another one? Why do you have to hang yourself on a tree? Are you afraid you won't find one when there are so many people around?"

He is the most suitable candidate selected.

"Then screen it again. If it doesn't work, a slightly worse one will do. It's me who uses it, not you. That's it, let's adjourn the meeting." After Mu'an Jiaxi finished speaking, he lay back on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover his head, and there was no movement.

The system's point deduction prompt appeared a second later. [Vermouth deducted 20 points. There are still 80 hidden degrees left before Vermouth discovers the identity of the tasker.]

Then the room quieted down and everything returned to normal

Mu'an Jiaxi, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and whispered, "A machine is a machine. It can't think flexibly and can only follow the program."

He slept until noon, then got up and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles. He brought the noodles to the living room, placed them on the coffee table, and prepared to eat. He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, only to find that the latest hot news about the dungeon was on. "The dungeon is about to open. The opening ceremony will be held tomorrow. The chairman of the Suzuki Group and the chairman's daughter will be in attendance."

Mu'an Jiaxi lowered his head and took a mouthful of instant noodles, muttering to himself, "Tomorrow."

The next morning

Mu'an Jiaxi was woken up by a ringing phone early in the morning. As soon as she picked up the phone, before she could get close to her ear, she heard Yuanzi's voice like a loud speaker, "Sister Jiaxi, the opening ceremony is about to start, why haven't you come yet?"

Mu'an Jiaxi immediately put the phone away and waited until the sound became quieter before taking it back. "Right away, right away. I'm already out and will be there soon."

"Then hurry up, everyone is here and waiting for you."

Mu'an Jiaxi put his phone on the bedside, stood up and put on his clothes, and responded, "Okay, right away."

After getting dressed, Mu'an Jiaxi ran into the bathroom to quickly wash up, then picked up his phone and keys and hurried out. After running out of the community, he hailed a taxi, told the address, and the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

Soon, within five minutes, the taxi arrived at the destination. Mu An Jiaxi glanced at the driver and asked, "How much?"

The driver pointed to the dial on the side. Mu Anjiaxi stretched his head to take a look, paid the fare and got off the car.

Mu An Jiaxi, who hadn't left yet, looked at the back of the taxi and sighed in his heart: I have to say, it's really expensive!

Then he turned around and walked inside, carefully looking at the environment along the way. On the surface, it looked ordinary, like a square. The square was decorated quite beautifully, probably because today was the opening ceremony. Flowers were placed on both sides and a huge human sculpture stood in the center of the square.

When Mu An Jiaxi saw the sculpture, she stopped in her tracks and took a closer look. She felt that it looked familiar, and the sculpture seemed a bit fat. It was too ugly. She shook her head in disdain and thought to herself: "What kind of aesthetics is this? It's too ugly."

Then I walked further in and found that there was a huge U-shaped exit not far behind the sculpture.

The exit was already crowded with people, and many media outlets were gathered around reporting the news. Before Mu An Jiaxi could reach the crowd, a voice suddenly came from the distance, "Sister Jiaxi, this way, this way."

Mu'an Jiaxi followed the sound and saw Yuanzi waving not far away. She also waved to indicate that she saw her, and then walked over.

When she got closer, she found that Sonoko had invited quite a lot of people, including the Mori family, those little kids, Sera Masumi, and finally even Amuro Toru.

Mu'an Jiaxi was no longer surprised by his occasional absences from work. He was used to it and even sighed that the owner of the coffee shop was really generous. He didn't give a waiter a day off for taking leave every other day. He was really tolerant.

Thinking about it later, he probably relied on his good looks to protect his job. After all, it was still somewhat useful. It could attract a lot of female customers, and the store's sales would also increase.

The first thing Mu An Jiaxi did after seeing them was to apologize sincerely, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Sonoko said, "It's okay, you're here just in time, the opening ceremony is about to start." Then she handed her a ticket.

Mu'an Jiaxi took it. At that moment, the opening ceremony had just begun, and the crowd quickly surged in that direction. Seeing this, they joined the others. The opening ceremony proceeded according to procedure: a flurry of official rhetoric, some praise for the dungeon, and then a ribbon-cutting ceremony. After that, the opening ceremony concluded.

The dungeon was officially opened, and everyone entered with their tickets. As soon as they entered, they saw a large number of security machines installed at the elevator entrance. Everyone had to undergo strict inspection before entering.

Everyone was queuing there in a long line, which stretched all the way from the intersection to the entrance of the square. Looking around, it seemed that the queue was so long that it would kill people. Standing in the middle would take at least an hour.

However, because of his privilege, Mu An Jiaxi did not have to queue and went directly through the VIP channel. He had a smooth journey and the manager acted as a tour guide on the way, introducing him to everything in detail. It suddenly felt like it was great to be rich.

Mu'an Jiaxi had also seen that the scale of the underground city, which was built at great expense, was more spectacular than any shopping mall she had seen before. It had four floors.

The top floor mainly sells clothing and jewelry, and the third floor is for food and drinks. It's said that they have a wide variety of items and that they hire world-famous chefs. Then, the second floor is for entertainment, including an amusement park, an underwater world, and a zoo.

The last floor held the hotel, with over a thousand rooms, each with a unique layout and decor, and the nightly rates were incredibly high. But Muan Jiaxi saw no real difference between these hotels. The only difference was the decor and the location—one above ground, the other underground. There wasn't much else to attract visitors, nothing to the point of wanting to spend money and stay there. So, she felt this hotel would soon be completely deserted.

But she thought that the Suzuki family probably didn't care about this little money, after all, Conan had blown up so many things in their house in previous movies.

It seems that basically every time the building is just opened, it will be destroyed within a few days. It is really unlucky. When An Jiaxi thought of this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He looked up at the building here, and then looked at Conan who was standing next to Xiaolan. He turned his head stiffly and thought to himself: It can't be such a coincidence!

Except for Toru Amuro, no one else noticed Muan Jiaxi's emotions. They walked downstairs talking and laughing, preparing to eat.

Amuro Toru walked at the end and patted her who was in a daze, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Mu'an Jiaxi came back to his senses instantly, forced a smile on his face, and said, "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to lock the door to my house, and I'm a little worried."

"Then let's play until noon and then go back. After all, it would be a shame to leave suddenly now that we're already here."

"Yeah." Mu'an Jiaxi thought the same thing. It would be a shame to leave suddenly after coming in. After thinking about it, it should be fine to wait until noon before leaving. This aura of the god of death should not be able to take effect so quickly.

Just as Xiaolan was about to catch up with the others, she seemed to think of something. How could she forget that Amuro Toru was also there? The combination of the Grim Reaper and the Detective had a cumulative effect.

Xiaolan and the others are the protagonists and can't die. She is just a passerby. If something really happens to her, if she is not careful, she will definitely be finished.

She couldn't leave at noon, she had to leave right away, thinking about it, and quickly caught up with Xiaolan and her group who had already come down the stairs. They had already entered a dessert shop, ordered a lot of things, and were eating there leisurely.

As soon as Mu An Jiaxi got off the elevator, he saw a group of people sitting by the window chatting. He walked straight into the store and went to Xiaolan's table. He said, "Xiaolan, Yuanzi, I'm afraid I have to leave early because I seem to have forgotten to close the door at home. I need to go back. It would be terrible if a thief came in."

Xiaolan was surprised and said, "Ah, but it's a pity to leave so soon after coming here so hard."

Yuanzi also agreed, "Yes, Sister Jiaxi, why don't you leave at noon? There shouldn't be any big problems in the short time. After all, the security in your community is pretty good, so this kind of thing shouldn't happen very often."

Mu An Jiaxi said: "I am just worried. What if something happens? I am still a little worried."

Xiaolan said, "Okay then, Sister Jia Xi, please be careful on the road."

"Yeah." Then, Mu'an Jiaxi walked out of the store and got on the elevator to leave.

Conan, who was sitting on the side, looked at her back, not knowing what he was thinking. He turned his head and said to Xiaolan beside him: "Sister Xiaolan, I'm going to the bathroom." Then he jumped off the chair and ran out of the store.

He said he was going to the bathroom, but he ran back and forth in the opposite direction.

Toru Amuro, who had just come in, saw his actions but did not react at all. He just walked over and sat down opposite him, picked up the cup, poured a glass of milk, took a sip, and then continued to listen to their conversation.
