Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Kitty has been waiting for you
Kai was right, because no one knew which would come first, tomorrow or an accident. But for Kamonohashi Ron and Isshiki Totomaru, since the accident hadn't happened yet, they just lived each day as normal.
So much so that when Amemiya discovered that Isshiki Totomaru was at work as usual, he felt a little strange: "He's actually working normally."
"...Of course I have to go to work as normal until I receive a request for a decisive battle, Amamiya-senpai," Isshiki Totsumaru said helplessly. "I can't neglect my current duties just because something hasn't happened yet."
"That's true. What about Mr. Duck?"
"Even in theory, he has been broadcasting live emotionally." Although this guy has been playing it down recently and only uploaded a few clips with more show effects, he has basically not done any live broadcasts. He is just doing his job as an emotional anchor.
After recently borrowing the cat from the Metropolitan Police Department, Kamohashi Ron was looking for a new foster home, preferably one that could take good care of the kitten. In the end, the cat was temporarily taken in by the author who revealed that his brother and his ex-girlfriend had both cheated on him. He had raised cats before and was quite good at it, so he had experience and could still take good care of the kitten if Kamohashi Ron really couldn't come back.
Then the author lifted the kitten up and said to Kamohashi Rin, "Yaya, please come back safely. Remember, the kitten has been waiting for you."
Kamohashi Ron was about to say something, but the author shook his head and said, "Forget it. I know what you want to say, but to avoid setting any flags, let's not say it."
Kamo no Bridge Theory: "..."
Is this how he appears to the audience?
Several days passed like this, and Kamohashi Ron and Isshiki Totomaru unexpectedly had to board a plane. This plane was supposed to fly to England, but after most of the people on the plane had a good sleep, Kamohashi Ron and Isshiki Totomaru finally found themselves waking up on an island where it was spring all year round.
"Tsk, that's one of those isolated islands you see in detective novels. Dudu, do you still have a signal on your phone?"
Isshiki Todumaru glanced at his cell phone, which showed that it was clearly outside the circle. He shook his head, indicating that there was no signal.

Kamohashi Ron and Isshiki Totumaru were among the first to wake up, and as expected, they saw Prosecutor Kazama here. He was still wearing sunglasses that covered most of his face. Kamohashi Ron looked at Prosecutor Kazama and asked:
"Isn't it time for you to explain something?"
"Eh? I think things like that will be explained when the time comes," Prosecutor Kazama said. "Better than that, let's wake up the others first—Robin is here too!"
Robin, who had just woken up, snorted coldly: "Why, Prosecutor Kazama, don't you welcome me? Let me be clear, I sneaked in using someone else's identity. You want to take the initiative to participate, right?"
"Because I made a little deal with Alice, isn't she investigating my sister? I said that if she wins this game, I will give her all the information about my sister." Prosecutor Kazama said, "Who would take someone else's identity like a thief like you who appears and disappears so elusively?"
"I'm not the only criminal here," Robin said. "Looking at it this way, whether it's Kamo no Hashi, Officer Isshiki, or Kazama, your identities are a little too clean. Aren't you going to be ostracized?"
"If it's an isolated island, that's not necessarily true," Kamohashi Ron said. "After all, sometimes being official means being safe."
"Anyway, let's wake up the others first," Robin said. "I don't know where Alice found so many people to play her game. I'm one of those people who thinks the more people there are, the more fun it is, but if it means risking my own life, I'll just forget it."
Isshiki Todumaru tried to wake everyone up.
"Are all the people on this island gathered now?" Robin introduced everyone. "College student Lee Koch, leader of the Cult of Geddes, Nike Geddes, curator Nuvo Cesar, Officer Sanno from Yamanashi Prefecture, Officer Isshiki from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Prosecutor Kazama, S-rank detective Kamohashi Ron, and... eh? Why is Shubizi here?"
"As expected, he's been misunderstood like this. This guy looks like Hubert's missing brother, right?" Kamohashi Ron sighed. "There should be some limits to joking."
Robin: "I just want to liven things up a bit."
"You haven't introduced yourself yet, lawyer," said Prosecutor Kazama. "At least explain your current identity."
"Me? Actually, I came here with the leader of the Gedez Cult. You can just think of me as a follower of the Gedez Cult." Robin said indifferently, and was thinking that this time was really interesting. Several guys who sneaked in disguised themselves. It couldn't be that they all came here for Kamonobashi.
"Since we're on an isolated island with no signal, let's first go to a place where there might be people or somewhere habitable and wait for rescue," Prosecutor Kazama suggested. "Luckily, we have detectives who are basically all-rounders, as well as experts in wilderness survival. At least we can ensure everyone's survival."
Because of Prosecutor Kazama's suggestion, everyone walked towards the depths of the isolated island. Not long after they walked, they saw a girl with pockmarks all over her face who looked like she was just in high school.
Isshiki Todumaru: "Why this image?"
"Eh? Really? I thought this image would be familiar to Isshiki-sensei." Alice tore off her disguise, revealing her true face. "I thought there were no such people, but now it seems there are some. Ms. Geddes, don't you know why you're here?"
"I don't remember ever offending the M family," said Ge Jiezi.
"Really? But it seems that the fake Gedez cultist beside you isn't surprised by this." Alice didn't explain further. "Since most people know what we're here for, I'll explain the requirements. As long as you survive to the end, you win, okay?"
"Have you started your livestream yet?" Kamohashi Ron asked, "I'm worried you'll just goof off and not acknowledge me."
[Open]
A barrage of comments floated across Kamohashi Ron's phone, which was supposed to have no signal.

Alice said she had already opened it: "I opened it when the rules were made clear. There's nothing I can do about it. After all, some people really care whether I will regret it or not."
"You didn't explain the rules clearly," Robin said. "You simply said that the way to win is to be the last one alive, but you didn't specify what counts as the last one. And since this is a game, there should be a reward for the final victory, right?"
Alice smiled. "Of course, there are. For example, 1 million US dollars. Of course, if you want anything else, you can tell me. I think it's no problem to exchange it for you. Oh, but there are also people who are accidentally involved... Officer Sanwang said, how about having the best doctor treat your daughter?"
The man called Officer Sanwang was silent for a moment, then said, "You really didn't explain the rules of the game clearly. What do you mean by 'finally'?"
"It's very simple," Alice said. "It literally means you're the only one left in the end. By the way, the fastest way is to kill someone. However, there are two police officers, a prosecutor, and a detective here. If you want to kill someone, you might have to consider whether you'll be caught..."
"Actually, there's a lawyer," Prosecutor Kazama said. "If murder is confirmed after thorough investigation, the lawyer and I might decide on the murderer's death penalty. So, I don't recommend the murder plan."
He was wearing sunglasses and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"Are you sure you want to do this? This is an island that is not under the jurisdiction of any country?" Alice tilted her head and looked quite confused, but soon, Prosecutor Kazama put an end to Alice's doubts.
"Why do you think humans must have law enforcement agencies?"
"I have another question," Cesar asked, "Can you use any means to ensure that you are the last one to survive?"
Alice nodded. "Any means are fine. Don't worry about me changing my mind. After all, the World Detective Alliance is also connected to the live broadcast and watching, right?"
302
The World Detective League was indeed connected to the live broadcast. Although Alice said so, they had no way to go over and rescue her. Even though the tracking expert Shubitz was also here, he still couldn't find Alice's coordinates.
Principal Ai Mei also looked quite helpless: "Can't you find Lun Bao and the others' coordinates at all?"
"There's no way. There's a lot of electronic interference over there," said Shubizi. "Instead of relying on me, I'd rather rely on some map experts. They might be able to find the coordinates of this small island based on the distribution of trees or something like that."
Kai sighed. "The employee case that Kamobashi-senpai was involved in might have clues, but I think Alice thought he would hinder her plans, so she just killed him."
Knight: "Is there no way to help Isshiki-sensei?"
Hubertus and Aimee shook their heads at the same time, looking like they didn't know how to help.
Feicui and Amemiya were also watching the live broadcast, but they were not using the live broadcast permission of the World Detective League, but a backdoor opened by the communication experts on the other side.
Communication Expert: "Originally, I was only connected to fans of his platypus account. I'm not surprised that Officer Amamiya is a fan. I didn't expect Officer Hisui to be a fan too."
Jade Minister Ji: "I will pay attention to many outstanding people."
Communication expert: "Huh? Is that so? It doesn't matter. Anyway, Kamonohashi can see your comments on his phone. If he can't win again, just think it's my bad luck. I followed the wrong boss. I don't think I will always be so unlucky, right?"
"Actually, I've wanted to ask this for a long time. You've been selling that low-quality perfume. Who is the so-called big shot above it?" Amemiya suddenly asked something else.
