Chapter 164: Drowning in the Deep Sea Things Gradually Become Magical
Lin Xi is not good at deceiving himself.
She knew some facts from the beginning.
For example, after picking up Haibara Ai, after knowing that she had a sister, after entering the dungeon for the first time and choosing to become the organization's boss... Lin Xi knew that the death of Haibara Ai's sister was closely related to the organization and himself.
At that time, Lin Xi took the initiative to choose to become the BOSS, partly because it was interesting, and partly because she believed that in this low-power but high-risk world of science, having more power would allow her to better protect the people around her.
But what the organization is like... Lin Xi knew it when he chose to become the boss.
It is indeed an illegal, profit-oriented place full of blood and darkness.
That is the most naked and undisguised display of the underlying logic of this world.
But so what?
Would the world be a better place without the organization? Would it change from a crime comic to a funny daily comic?
Impossible - compared to funny daily comics, detective comics are obviously closer to reality.
So Lin Xi does not regret his choice.
Rather than letting the plot force the bloody money and power to some unknown villain, it is better to hold them firmly in your own hands.
Even after knowing the truth, those people she cares about will leave...haha, it doesn't matter.
It's nothing more than some sword-fighting, some extremely clichéd stories of justice defeating evil.
If that's the case, then it's not bad - as a villain, at least in the end, she can still make the ending look decent.
Under Lin Xi's calm gaze, Heijin grinned and smiled with difficulty.
No one knew how excited he was right now.
Ah, Lin Xi's expression right now is truly amazing...
What a shame, it's not the right time yet.
When she knew more and came to him...
Then, I can appreciate more of her expressions like this, right?
Lin Xi looked at the person in front of him who smiled at him, then lowered his eyes and opened them again. The contempt and malice on his face disappeared without a trace.
Now his eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness. He blinked and said, "Are you okay, Lin Xi?"
Lin Xi let go of his hand.
This guy runs away pretty fast.
Having a dual personality is convenient. When you don’t want to face something, you can just switch to another personality to face it, right?
Jin straightened up and put his hand on his neck.
There were purple marks left there.
The person must have done something terrible to allow her to treat him like this.
"I'm sorry." He spoke again.
Lin Xi responded with a faint smile: "Well, it's okay?"
Seeing the man droop his eyelids, she comforted him again, "I'm really fine. But your condition... can you usually control him?"
Jin took a deep breath and said, "I won't let him out again."
"No, that will be very hard for you." Lin Xi thought for a moment, "If you can accept it, my suggestion is to show some abnormality to Akai Shuichi."
Jin blinked in confusion, as if asking: Abnormal? What abnormality? Why would he show it to him?
Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a headache.
The difference between this gold and that gold is too big!
One has a mind as sharp as honeycomb briquettes, while the other is completely clueless and very stubborn.
She patiently explained, "As you can see, Akai Shuichi is a very perceptive person and very responsible. If a teammate is suspected of having a dual personality, and the other personality has a strong desire to attack, he will definitely not sit idly by."
"With him watching over you, you don't have to worry about your other self hurting others."
Jin nodded obediently, as if he had heard Lin Xi's words, although he still didn't quite understand why he should worry about his other self hurting others.
Isn't it okay as long as she isn't hurt?
"That's enough." Lin Xi patted Jin's shoulder, "It's getting late, go back and rest."
Gold: QAQ
He doesn't want to leave yet.
"Lin Xi, can I know what he did just now?" He touched the bruise on his neck again. I'm afraid I'll have to wear a turtleneck sweater these next few days. Fortunately, the temperature has dropped recently, so wearing a thin sweater won't look too strange.
"He said a lot of weird things." Lin Xi said honestly, "It's the same as if he didn't say anything."
She glanced at Jin and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it."
Jin nodded.
"So, what about Jessie White?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Lin Xi waved her hand, "She's a very obedient girl."
Kim has reservations about this.
"Just pretend what happened tonight never happened."
Lin Xi said this at last.
.
So what is Jessie the Obedient Girl White doing at this time?
She was sent back home by Sugishima Jun'e.
It was called a home, but in fact it was just a shabby residence, very narrow, located in a dirty alley. There were even two drunkards staggering in the corner downstairs.
One bedroom and one living room, no living room, the bed is right when you open the door, and there is a separate bathroom.
Jessie White blushed as she led the way - the place she lived in was so shabby that even if she was thick-skinned, she would not be able to let Eleven's friends see it all.
Fortunately, Jun'e Sugishima did not show any abnormality. Every time Jessie looked at her, she would smile kindly and gently.
When they finally got home, Jie Qian breathed a sigh of relief: "Please come in, I'll get you a glass of water..."
"No need." Sugishima Jun'e said in a gentle but unyielding tone, "I'm only responsible for sending you home, and by the way..."
"Recycle what's been put there."
Jessie uttered a confused "what?"
Sugishima Jun'e moved closer to her, reached out and touched the collar of her coat, and took out a transmitter.
Jess was in a state of stress, her hair standing on end. "This, this, this is not mine! This is the clothes that the female police officer gave me!"
Sugishima Jun'e quickly comforted her: "Actually, this was put on her clothes by Miss Lin."
Jie Qian paused and asked in confusion: "Why did Eleven put a locator on her? Uh, is this something you can say?"
"Well, Miss Lin wasn't trying to locate her..." Sugishima Jun'e looked at Jess, who seemed to understand, and explained, "The temperature tonight is even colder than usual. The clothes you wore at noon today were too thin."
"Miss Lin specifically asked Miss Judy—the blonde police officer—to take care of you. The attentive Miss Judy wouldn't have failed to notice your thin clothing and the cold weather. She gave you her thick coat and even suggested she drive you home."
Jess recalled that the blonde police officer had indeed suggested that she take her home when she got off work that night, but she had refused. She couldn't help but stutter: "Indeed, indeed..."
"Why would you refuse? This place isn't too far from your home, but it's not close either. You wouldn't refuse a free ride back home unless you had an unexpected invitation and you didn't want an FBI agent to take you there."
"But you won't refuse the coat," Sugishima Jun'e said, laughing. "The transmitter will always show your location to Miss Lin. When Miss Lin sees you moving to a place you shouldn't be, she'll know someone is going to meet you."
"Ah." Jess finally realized, "Then why didn't Eleven give me the transmitter in the first place? If you had told me, I would have cooperated."
Sugishima Jun'e shook her head: "The other party is very perceptive, Miss Lin doesn't want to alert the enemy."
Jie Qian recalled Jin holding a gun in the moonlight at that time, and murmured with lingering fear: "He, he is indeed very sharp, and he has a gun... Ah, Eleven, she, she will be okay."
"Don't worry." Sugishima Jun'e smiled: "With Miss Lin here, no matter what happens, it will be resolved."
Her phone vibrated. "Look." She picked up the phone and saw a new message from Lin Xi. "Isn't this resolved?"
"You just need to go to work as usual tomorrow. You can pack up. I heard the FBI provides staff housing for your position."
"Ah." Jie Qian was stunned for a moment. "Well, if someone asks me, I..."
"No one will ask you." Sugishima Jun'e said, "That 'Jin'—he won't come looking for you again, don't worry."
"Miss White, your most important task right now is to embrace a new life." She looked around. The small house was bare, but warmth was evident in the details. "After all, the old life has ended, and it's time to turn a new chapter, isn't it?"

【Completed】
Drowning in the Deep Sea:
[The horrific "Whitechapel serial murders" came to an end. The murderer "Jack the Ripper" who killed three women died in a bomb explosion when the police were rounding him up.
Although this is how the media reported it, those who really understand the incident know that the truth is not that simple.
Jin, who is suspected of having a dual personality, the bomb from the organization, the past of "Lin Xi"... these are all mysteries waiting for players to solve.
Looking back is not easy. When did this game really begin?
Perhaps when the player sinks into the deep sea, in the cold water, reaching out to the light above - that is when everything begins.
[Gained 30,000 experience points, 1 list of invitees to Ms. X's 2004 solo exhibition, and 1 glass fragment.]
Lin Xi lay on the sofa, staring at the system's plot line in a daze.
The new mission is completed.
The name of the mission is Drowning in the Deep Sea... Very literary, but is there anything related to the deep sea in the story she has experienced?
Oh, if holding your breath in a glass contraption filled with water counts, then it does.
When she was in the water, she suddenly felt a familiar feeling... plus this was already an explicit plot description, was she going to enter a copy full of water in the future?
She paused for a moment, shook her head, and clicked on the skill tree.
Now, almost all of her skills have reached level 2, and some have even reached level 3 or 4. Level 5 is the limit of a skill that can be lit up, and the experience points required are also astonishing.
This time the system gave 30,000 experience points. Together with the ones that were not used up last time, Lin Xi now has 48,000 experience points available.
She hesitated for a moment, then spent 40,000 experience points to upgrade [Disguise].
[Disguise]: lv4 (Various Changes) → lv5 (Transfiguration).
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining his first level 5 skill.]
[Level 5 skills violate the scientific laws of this world and belong to inexplicable high-dimensional settings. Please use with caution.
If this causes widespread cognitive fluctuations among NPCs or a small number of important characters, the system will be forced to roll back to stabilize the world.
Lin Xi:?
Level 5 skills are so advanced?
Judging from the system's instructions, it's also necessary to avoid using it in large crowds, otherwise it will cause widespread cognitive dissonance and automatically revert...
Transfiguration... is it like magic, that can directly transform into a human or an animal?
Before Lin Xi could figure it out, the pain flooded her like the sea.
