Chapter 184



This day was full of ups and downs. Others would never have imagined how exciting my day was.

First it was an accidental encounter - later I realized it might not be an accidental encounter at all, I saw the woman whose face I almost blew up; then I activated a terrible ability that I couldn't turn off, like a geass out of control, it was terribly uncomfortable; then I was blocked in the men's restroom by a beautiful lady, who instilled a bunch of things that I still can't understand, anyway, I inexplicably seemed to detect a little bit of alcohol belonging to Jingguang. No, it was an animal smell.

The only thing worth being happy about is that I persecuted Conan in the end. I am such a little genius.

Moreover, the dolphin show we watched later and the several areas we visited were quite interesting. The "smell" of animals is much better than that of humans.

I thought about it later and it might be because their brain waves are simpler to begin with.

These are not the main points.

In the evening, I checked the layout of the hotel as usual. It was just a cautious routine, but I didn't expect that I would actually make a discovery!

I saw a miniature camera in the corner of the air outlet of the central air conditioner outside.

Exclamation mark!

A danger flashed over my head!

Who is this and who could have done this?

If it was this morning, I would still be suspicious of the people from Pandora Zoo, but now with Ando Mako's hint, I can basically rule them out.

A winery?

But the winery shouldn't know my identity at all now. If there were such a dangerous situation, Sir An would definitely find a way to inform me.

It couldn't be aimed at Conan, because the person who retrieved the data was Curacao. The plan is clearly in my hands now, so even if there is an accident, it shouldn't happen so quickly.

It's not even twenty-four hours, not even twelve hours, hey!

Who else might be paying attention to my movements...

No, really no, at least I can’t think of it.

The sudden appearance of this surveillance device made me feel anxious, as if things were out of control, a feeling of anxiety I had never experienced before.

I could even feel a sense of inexplicable anger.

My fingers flew, hiding in the blind spot of the camera, and I briefly checked the type of camera, then removed it.

The camera has not been turned on yet, and the indicator light indicating its operating status has not lit up yet, but I can't find the location of the memory card, so it should be the kind of monitoring that transmits data in real time.

Because I was in a hurry when I came this morning, I don't know whether the camera was installed in advance or was installed after I left during the day.

But no matter which case it all points to the same thing: my schedule is now completely controlled by someone, or some people.

Who on earth has such great ability?

After thinking about it, I feel that the only people who have this ability are Sir An and Ando Mako.

But the problem is that it is impossible for these two people to do such a thing.

If it were before, I certainly wouldn't believe Ando Mako based on one side of the story, but now I - or rather, I was when I met Ando Mako before, I already had my brain open.

Facial expressions and words can deceive people, but brain waves do not have self-control capabilities. So rather than saying that I believe in Ando Mako, it is better to say that I believe in myself and the cheating ability of my brain.

It can't be Conan and Neko, right?

I even lay on the bed in the inner room and recalled every detail of my journey through time, and the result was -

Nothing gained.

It was late at night. I hadn't taken off my makeup, changed my clothes, or showered. I couldn't sleep. My mind was filled with anxiety that someone was peeping at me.

I have to stay up late again.

It’s so difficult, my hair is falling out again!

I'm sorry, Brother Jingguang, I've ruined your health and now you're bald.

I was struggling until the late night and couldn't fall asleep, so I just sat up and took out the things that Ando Mako gave me during the day. The few pages were full of clues about Conan, from small things like school grades to big things like interactions with the winery.

You can't tell, but Conan is actually studying hard, and he got all A's on the test.

Anyway, I can’t solve any word problems in elementary school now. By the way, do first graders in Japanese elementary schools have word problems?

I find it miraculous that this resume is still there.

At first glance, everything seems to be going smoothly, but in reality, this kind of performance that is impressive even for adults is hard to ignore when it comes to a primary school student.

I took out a lighter from the bedside and lit the document. The flame flickered, burning the words on the paper into black, and then turned into ashes.

Gray smoke rose up and stung my eyes, giving me an urge to cry physiologically.

It was a good time to feel sad about the passing of time, and then...

Then the smoke alarm in the room went off.

Wow!

The icy cold water poured down instantly, soaking me from head to toe, making me feel cool and refreshed.

Not to mention the piercing alarm sound, which almost made me pull out my gun and destroy the alarm device on the spot.

I'm already suffering from a nervous breakdown, please don't do this to me anymore.

I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have thought about the pretentious scenes in TV dramas and lit such a big fire in the room by myself.

I am guilty, I am seriously guilty!

Fortunately, the paper was burned basically cleanly, and only a pile of paper ashes remained in the glass.

I heard some rustling noises outside. I thought my stupid behavior must have been exposed. I should think about how to explain and make amends.

Fortunately, Conan and the others don’t live next door, but upstairs, otherwise I would really want to open the window and jump down!

Moreover, it is another expense.

I calmed down and put on my glasses. I pushed my wet hair back with one hand.

When I walked out, I noticed the indicator light on the central air conditioning was on.

Just as I was about to open the door, I heard a loud bang -

"Bang"!

Then the whole house was shaking, and for a moment it seemed like an earthquake.

But I soon realized that the loud bang was the real cause of the vibration.

explode?

Coming from downstairs——

Countless years flashed through my mind, but the footsteps outside were obviously getting chaotic. I grabbed my coat, ignored other useless things, and walked out.

At this time, the corridor was already filled with screams and a sense of panic. The floor management staff could only barely maintain basic order, directing everyone to take the safe stairs and then closing the elevator on this floor to prevent anyone from entering by mistake.

I was very close to the emergency exit, but looking at the dark emergency exit, I suddenly had a very bad feeling.

Sure enough, next I saw a large flame bursting out from the green channel representing safety, and the sound of the second explosion blew open the emergency exit. Although the power was obviously not as strong as the first time, it was enough to scare everyone back.

Because of the distance, the flames were about to lick my face in an instant.

Luckily I had water on me!

The burning sensation that had soaked me and made me embarrassed just now actually alleviated my pain.

The crowd immediately retreated in the direction of the flames.

At the same time, I raised my head and looked back, and saw that many people were still walking this way.

It can be guessed that the same incident probably occurred in the safety passage on the other side.

I quickly took out my phone from my pocket. Intellectually, I wasn't worried about Conan and the others upstairs, but emotionally I still had to follow social rules and ask.

I sent a "?" to ask about the situation.

The other side quickly replied with a ".", expressing their safety status with the simplest symbol.

Before I could relax, there was a sudden piercing "sizzle" during the broadcast, and then, as if someone had passed an audition, a voice that was clearly using a voice changer came out.

"I believe you have all seen what will happen if you act rashly."

Terrorist attack?

I quickly determined the purpose of this sound.

"Now, everyone go back to your rooms. Those staying in suites must stay outside, otherwise..."

At this point, there was another loud explosion.

I listened carefully—this time upstairs.

With this threat, no matter how scared the guests are, they have to obey.

I suddenly remembered the camera installed on the central air conditioner.

The criminal just now specifically mentioned the word "outside". Could it be that this thing has nothing to do with my identity itself?

I don’t know whether I should feel relieved or not, I can only focus on the present.

The guy obviously intended to reduce the risk by using surveillance. If the criminals really installed surveillance cameras, would there be one in every room?

I have already taken it down, will it be discovered?

I rubbed my hands. The fear, panic and terror in the air from the crowd made it almost suffocating for me. Back in the room, I felt more comfortable and was able to calm down and think.

Standing beside the bed, I looked downstairs, and saw black smoke coming out of the ground floor. Even though there was such a big commotion, no one ran out of the building downstairs.

It appears that the attack was well planned.

It's not something that ordinary people can do.

As far as I know, the only person in this hotel who is worthy of being a target is her, Ando Mako, besides me and Conan the Cat and his crew.

Is it she who brings danger?

The explosion in the hotel has attracted quite a few people. I saw that some people in the building opposite had lights on and had opened their windows and looked out.

This kind of movement cannot be concealed, and the police will arrive soon.

I waited quietly for a few minutes, but I didn't hear any more information or instructions on the radio. I could only hear a few scattered words scolding people in a certain room, telling them not to go out or touch things they shouldn't touch.

Someone found the surveillance!

Then there was a warning explosion.

There was no direct killing spree, the people were just hostages...

Procrastinating?

Waiting for the police?

Not only the current victims, but also the perpetrators are waiting for certain people or certain conditions to be met.

In other words, was attracting the police one of the goals from the very beginning?

My heart sank. Regardless of whether it involved the main plot or not, once the criminal suspects had already included attracting the police as part of their plan, then these hostages... would all be in danger.
