Extra 31

[Family members, who understands? During this Chinese New Year and winter vacation, there are exhibitions everywhere. There are several Conan Only shows. Which one should we go to?! ]

[I am also confused. If I go to one a day, my New Year's money will be gone.]

[Insider news, everyone, the official seems to be preparing to hold an exhibition]

[Is this true?! ]

[Ahhhh, I must go]

[It’s not considered inside information, everyone. The official blog released it five minutes ago, and they are now recruiting for the internal stage.]

[Hahahahahahahahaha I saw some sisters preparing to go out for team building and dance at the winery]

[I laughed so hard, there is also Noel’s group dance]

【What?】

[It's Sora Natsukawa, Noel, Grappa, Leon and Ikaros dancing together]

【...

[There are so many complaints that I don’t know where to start]

[With the recent release of the new plot, I feel that everyone’s mental state is becoming more and more worrying]

[I testify that we, the Knoll chefs, are not crazy, we are just equally split into countless halves]

[What happened to this child after being stabbed?]

【Hahaha... I'm fine! I'm not crazy! (Struggling) I'm just pushing myself to death!!! I'm fine! Who's afraid of whose grandson!!! I really can't be saved, Red Team, please take care of it! Whose cartoon knife jumped up and chopped people!!! How dare the author write death! If you have the guts, give me a bunch of possibilities for rescue!!! (Crawling in the dark) (Starts attacking without distinguishing between friend and foe) (Twistedly grabs a passerby and bites him randomly)】

【This one is really crazy】

[Why does it feel like there is not much discussion about this main plot? 】

【Because of the Spring Festival? 】

[Speaking of the Spring Festival, I thought there would be some Spring Festival extra episodes or something, but it turns out there wasn’t, which is a bit disappointing.]

[Hahahaha, maybe the author is busy celebrating the New Year]

[Back to the above, it’s not that there is no discussion about the main plot this time, but everyone realizes that this is the last period of calm before the final battle, and we are all waiting for the next ending.]

[Are you sure it's not because Noel's encounter with the Junior Detectives was so fierce that everyone was killed at once, so no one can discuss it?]

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

[You disturbed me above]

[To be honest, this encounter really felt like a last meeting to say goodbye or something. Those who firmly believed that you could survive were sweating profusely.]

[According to calculations, if Erzi entered the laboratory, her survival rate would have greatly increased, and it was very likely that the achievements of "all members of the Red Team rushed into the laboratory to rescue the people" and "the next day, Noel was lying in the hospital ward" would be achieved. However, the people came out before the end, and they were still in a brainwashed state. Do you know how much I was afraid that the next plot would be the CG of "the memory of the last moment of the battle with the Red Team came back and then he smiled and did not resist"?]

[Isn't it good that Noel is not in the lab?]

[The main reason is that the role of Noel in the main storyline has already been established. He has already killed the organization's top fighters. If he kills again, it will be a repetition of the plot, and it will also steal the spotlight from the red team. If he wants to reach the end of survival, it is best not to appear at this time. If the result is known, it means that he will still have a role in the future. If it is not a repetition of the plot, then he may be on the opposing side. Do you know how scared I am?]

[But now it seems that Noel definitely still has self-awareness]

[Yeah, this has helped to raise his survival rate a little bit, but in the end, he actually set up a death flag!! 1]

[Not really, I just told the detective kids to grow up well.]

【But this sounds like a will. To be honest, I've always thought that the fact that the children don't know Noel's real name can increase their chances of survival. It's possible that they can unlock a later conversation where Noel regains his freedom and stands in front of the children and says with a smile, "Let me introduce myself again. I'm Noel." This symbolizes that he and the children are getting to know each other again and starting a good life again. But, he has already said it now.】

[The above poster, why can you describe it in such detail? It must be because you have played so many love games.]

[In fact, I think that not telling the name actually reduces the survival rate. It is easy to get a BECG where they don’t know the real name of the brother they knew and think he just went to a faraway place.]

[If Noel hadn’t said his name at that time, but had said something like, “Next time we meet, I will tell you my real name,” then the death flag would have been set.]

[That means a direct death sentence]

[Kong-ge... no, it's Noel. He will definitely be saved! After all, he is the man who conquered the protagonist! ]

[The person above doesn’t know that this is why it’s easy to die? The protagonist’s white moonlight/mentor/brother is the easiest to die.]

[Don’t mention the otome romance game I played recently where the brother died at the beginning, wuwuwu, this one obviously hit me the most]

[What weird things are you guys talking about? You're not playing games.]

[Are the routines the same after all?]

[Actually, I'm more interested in his conversation with Furuya Rei later on, but the official account actually blurred out a part of it.]

[Indeed, this conversation is too weird no matter how you look at it]

[I can understand the phrase "do what you should do". At that time, it seemed that Furuya Rei wanted to take the person back to the police. His expression was so heartbreaking.]

[I think so too. In fact, the manga's portrayal of Rei Furuya's emotions is very restrained. But since the police academy arc came out, we can see that his nature should be very straightforward and emotional. When Noel said goodbye to the Junior Detective Team, his expression looked like he was about to cry.]

[I can feel the sadness emanating from him just from the picture. Yes, as an undercover agent, he has to play the role of someone who persecutes his friends...]

[So why not just take Noel back? ]

[It's actually quite understandable. Now, Rei Furuya has a very high position in the organization. He will definitely have a heavy task in the final battle with the organization, so he can't let his identity be compromised in the slightest. If he brings Noel back to the Public Security Bureau now, it basically means giving up all his efforts as an undercover agent.]

[No, can't we find someone to act and take Grappa away?]

[The organization boss is not so stupid as to be this stupid]

[In fact, I think it is not that difficult to defeat the winery in the current situation. Is it necessary for Furuya Rei to be undercover? Even if he reveals his identity now, the losses he has caused to the organization are enough.]

[But for the official organization, their plan should be based on the premise that Furuya Rei is an undercover agent. If Furuya Rei does this, then wouldn’t their own combat plan be in vain?]

[Then the original plan was not to do this. I think it is impossible that Rei Furuya has not thought of this situation with his intelligence.]

[Actually, what you said makes sense. I think given Rei Furutani's personality, he had this plan after he found out that Noel was brainwashed. You can look at the conversation between him and the boss in the previous comics. At that time, he was already thinking about how to reasonably put Noel by his side, although the wording was quite misleading.]

[He was deliberately misunderstood. I never thought that he would pretend to be interested in Grappa and directly ask the boss if he could give her to him. The most outrageous thing is that the boss believed him.]

[Sister Bei has some additional information on this point. It seems that there were some rumors about the two of them before, and there was also a record of them checking into a hotel together.]

[Help, is this something you can say?]

[It's probably not true. The secret of the winery that was leaked before mentioned that the two of them had been working together for a long time. I think it's reasonable for them to live together during the mission. And after all, Furuya Rei is a public security officer. According to the timeline, Noel was not yet an adult when the two of them were working together... Is he an adult now? ]

【Amount】

[And considering Furuya Rei's situation at the time, this rumor actually helped build his image. Noel is not so sure, but now it can be seen that he is intentionally destroying his own reputation.]

[Being stabbed]

[I can understand partners staying in hotels together when on a mission, but love hotels? ]

[Noel was young at the time, but don’t forget that no one knew this]

[Although the manga didn't directly draw it, since Furuya Rei is an undercover agent, you can't hold him to the moral standards of the police, otherwise he would have been discovered within two months of saving the situation.]

[Who still remembers the blonde, dark-skinned, hot girlfriend by Daming Lake? ]

[Who still remembers the bourbon and grappa date at a western restaurant]

[Yes, yes, that’s how rumors are born]

[Yes, yes, this is how CP fan food is produced]

[A must-have skill for a fangirl: spreading rumors about my CP, it makes me laugh to death, there's been too much food lately~]

[Okay, okay... So why didn't Furuya Rei take Noel away?]

[Because it’s official, the official organization will not agree with what Furuya Rei did]

[In fact, the plot of Hagiwara has already hinted that the top management does not recognize Noel’s contribution.]

[Huh, where is the hint? ]

[Hagiwara and Matsuda's conversation. Hagiwara was obviously very angry for a while before. It should be because he suggested how to save Noel but was rejected.]

[On the contrary, Morobushi Jingguang was very far-sighted in this regard. He mentioned it in the chapter introducing the White Alliance. He initially cooperated with the police but did not reveal his identity. He wanted to use his third-party identity to give Noel an opportunity similar to the witness protection program.]

[Is there another reason?]

[In fact, as an undercover agent, Morobushi Jingguang has witnessed enough darkness. He should have realized long ago that it is impossible to save Noel in a normal way. Whether it was hiding his identity and dealing with the police in the beginning or expanding the scale of the White Alliance to make money and build a laboratory in the later period, his purpose was to save Noel.]

[Fuck, I just realized it now]

[How should I put it? In the plot, Noel once complained that Morobushi Jingguang was like his mother. In fact, this is quite true. His position is indeed very similar to the concept of parents in our traditional sense.]

[It is a very secret sacrifice, which is hard to be seen, but when you really look closely you will find how heavy it is]

[In the early stage, he thought that what Noel needed was a chance to start over, so he went to make a deal with the Public Security Bureau, and even concealed his identity in order to become an unrelated third party to ensure that the White Alliance and the Public Security Bureau were just simply dealing with interests. He should have also prepared a lot of evidence. For example, when he returned to the Public Security Bureau, he said that he had been undercover in the winery for the past few years and had contact with Noel. If things developed according to Morobushi Jingguang's original plan, it should be like this:]

[The Public Security Bureau cooperated with the White Alliance to obtain various intelligence. The other party asked Grappa to be given a position similar to a tainted witness. If the Public Security Bureau hesitated, then Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had been undercover in the organization for several years, would come out to prove that Grappa had a rebellious heart and was kind-hearted. Regardless of whether the Public Security Bureau believed it or not, this was a good platform and reason. Grappa was directly tied to the White Alliance and was still valuable in the eyes of the official.]

[My eyes widened]

[Still... still like this?! ]

[Zhu Fu Jingguang, really, I am crying my eyes out. If this is the case, then saving your son wouldn’t be easy.]

[I really think this is very feasible. As a third party, the White Alliance can completely "snatch" Grappa in advance and then deal with this matter with the public security department.]

[I was a little surprised. I never expected this.]

[As we all know later, the appearance of Haibara Ai also made Morofushi Kagemitsu discover a more serious problem, which is Noel's physical problem. Although the identity issue is very important, without life, everything is gone, so he immediately modified the plan, which is to expand the White Alliance.]

[First of all, I want to say that the White Alliance cooperates happily with the police because it has always been an intelligence organization that cooperates with the police with a bottom line. However, if you want to save Noel, there is a very realistic problem. You need money and a laboratory, so the White Alliance is not white.]

[This is not to say that Morobushi Kagemitsu is unscrupulous or anything, but he not only cooperated with the police. I personally believe in Morobushi Kagemitsu's moral bottom line. In fact, given the official situation, it is not impossible to cooperate with gray organizations. The reason why the White Alliance was so white in the early stage was due to Morobushi Kagemitsu's own sense of morality.]

[In fact, even if this is the case, Morobushi Kagemitsu can combine the two plans into one, that is, first cure Noel's body, and then make a deal with the official high-level officials. I believe that with his ability, he can still come up with enough intelligence.]

[However, there is one thing, the authorities are not stupid. Morofushi Jingguang supports Noel, and the White Alliance wants to save Noel. It is not difficult to guess that they are connected. Originally, the White Alliance only cooperated with the authorities, which was very white, so there was nothing wrong with it. But now, the White Alliance has become a gray organization.]

[This means that it is impossible for Morobushi Kagemitsu to return to being a Morobushi police officer.]

[Ah, I am stupid]

[Official organizations are not so careless as to allow a person who has been missing for several years, working undercover in the black organization and having an ambiguous relationship with the gray organization to come back]

【ah?】

[Sorry, I was stabbed and dumbfounded. If no one told me, I wouldn’t have realized this at all.]

[That’s why I said that Morobushi Kagemitsu is indeed very much like a parent. This kind of secret and great sacrifice, he really wants Noel to live in the sunshine]

[I was a little shocked]

[I’m sorry, I can’t accept it. Don’t you think this is similar to your parents’ thinking that “I’m doing this for your own good”? It’s also full of control. Wanting to die is what Noel wanted.]

[I think this cannot be generalized]

[First of all, let’s talk about Noel. Actually, as everyone analyzes, we can see that his nature is not a mature and rational Grappa at all. In fact, he is closer to a child. To put it bluntly, he is mentally immature.]

[As an adult, Morobushi Kagemitsu has much more experience and knowledge. Noel's early thoughts of wanting to die were more like a kind of self-abandonment in a closed state. What he needs is guidance. Because of Noel's special situation, this kind of guidance is better to be strong. To put it bluntly, children have too little experience and must be pulled back by mature adults. Morobushi Kagemitsu's behavior is indeed for your own good. For Noel, whose values ​​were not stable at the time, this kind of strong direction correction is necessary.]

[Wait, how do you know that Noel's worldview was unstable at the time? ]

[Didn’t you read the author’s new interview? The author described Noel as looking mature but actually still a child. Hahahahahaha]

[Of course, these were all at the time. The author has also mentioned that he has finally matured now.]

[This comic does not show what happened to Noel that led to his transformation and maturity, but we can clearly see from the recent plot that although Morobushi Kagemitsu is still trying to prepare to save Noel, he has not interfered with Noel's wishes. This means that in Morobushi Kagemitsu's heart, Noel's character has matured, and he respects whatever choice the other party makes in this situation.]

【Fuck】

[So you respect Noel's wish to die, so why save him? ]

[Respecting Noel's choice is his rationality, and still trying to save him is his emotion]

[Damn, I suddenly feel like crying]

[In fact, I am now relieved whether Noel dies or not in the ending. My mentality now is the same as Morobushi Kagemitsu. No matter what Noel chooses, I will accept it.]

[In fact, I also think that Noel's ending may not depend on the plot killing or the game between the organization and the official, but only on whether Noel wants to die or be rescued.]

[I am looking forward to Noel's personal storyline now. Why hasn't it come out yet? Why hasn't it come out yet?]

[After all, we have to wait until the manga is finished]

[How long will it take to finish?]

[Soon]

【By the way, weren’t we discussing the obviously inappropriate conversation between Rei Furuya and Noel at the beginning?】

【Isn’t it normal for a chat to go off topic?】

[We'll talk about this tonight. I know where the problem is. I'll post it after I've sorted it out. There are also some other plot issues that we can discuss together.]

【Oh, by the way, everyone, Happy New Year! 】
