Chapter 35
[Why didn't Jingguang tell Toruko the truth? ]
[What do you mean? Are you saying that someone asked me to stop you? If Touko really wants to do something bad, then wouldn’t that expose her?]
[I agree with what was said before. Jingguang should first confirm what is happening to Tohru.]
[Wuwuwu. No matter what, I believe that Toruko will not hurt Keimitsu.]
Originally, according to Morobu Kagemitsu's speculation, this notebook should have been secretly put in by someone when Zero was away. As for who that person was and what the purpose was, he still couldn't figure it out. But this time the cycle started, the Morse code on the notebook disappeared, and he couldn't be sure if his guess was accurate...
Is there really a problem with Zero Difficulty?
Morofushi Jingguang looked at the person in front of him, waiting for his answer.
Ling Yi glanced at his subordinate's notebook and said, "I took it from him."
Zhu Fu Jingguang carefully observed the expression of the blond young man, as if trying to confirm whether he was joking.
Ling Yi walked forward under his gaze, opened the drawer of the table, and said, "I put the pen in the drawer. Didn't Guang find it when he checked the room before?"
"I forgot." Morobushi Jingguang looked down at the pen. He had only taken a rough look before, and was told that the room had been checked, so he did not check it in detail, and therefore completely ignored the ballpoint pen in the drawer. In addition, too many things happened after that, especially Zero's death, which had a huge impact on him.
Ling Yi took out the ballpoint pen from the drawer and put it on the table. He then looked at the notebook that Zhu Fu Jingguang had pressed on the table, with a hint of doubt between his brows: "Guang seems to be very concerned about this notebook. Is there anything in it?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang lowered his eyes and looked at the notebook in his hand. His thoughts were a little confused at this moment. Many ideas collided in his mind and he needed to sort them out.
First of all, there were daily necessities in the room, which were prepared by Zero. The notebook was also brought by Zero, so it should have been together with the daily necessities. Secondly, judging from Zero's reaction, he seemed to be unaware of the abnormality of the notebook, so someone had tampered with the notebook without Zero's knowledge. Who was that person?
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked up and found that Ling Yi was still waiting for his answer. He smiled to cover up the problem, pointed at the blue cover of the notebook and said, "I just think it looks familiar. It looks a lot like the notebook you used in school."
"I remembered it wrong."
"Um?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at Ling Yi, and Ling Yi said, "The blue notebook belongs to Matsuda, and mine is black." At this point, Ling Yi smiled and explained, "But later Matsuda took my notebook, so I exchanged it with him."
After hearing Ling Yi's words, Zhu Fu Jingguang also recalled some past events. His originally tense nerves relaxed a little, and he smiled and said, "At that time, you and Matsuda were both unwilling to give in to each other. I didn't expect that you would exchange notebooks."
"And that Hagiwara guy..." Although he had only been here for one day, Morofushi Jingguang felt like a long time had passed. He suddenly missed his friends who had just parted ways with him not long ago. Thinking of the aspirations they had chosen before leaving the police academy, he suddenly sighed, "They all did what they liked."
The identity of a police officer is sensitive, so he did not point it out directly, but he thought Ling Yi must know what he was asking.
"Yeah." Ling Yi replied, "They are all excellent..."
[Wuwuwuwu, the Matsuda and Kenji in this world are actually gone now]
[As we all know, five minus four equals zero, so there is only one person left in the police academy team]
[Toruko didn't tell Keimitsu the truth]
[It’s better not to say anything, after all, Jingguang will leave after the game ends.]
「That’s why I have to tell you this. Only when Jingguang knows the truth and goes back can we prevent the tragedy from happening again.」
[I don't agree with what you said before. How do you want Toruko to start? Should she say, "You are all dead, and I am the only one left in this world?" Then she will talk about how Keimitsu died, how Matsuda and Hagiwara died, and how the class leader died? ? ? ]
[This is not telling the truth, this is stabbing another knife into the bloody wound]
[Agree +1, Toru is a person who experienced it firsthand, he is not a bystander, he cannot calmly analyze the pros and cons as mentioned above, and then tell Jingguang the truth like an outsider, this is not normal]
[But if you don’t speak up, the tragedy may happen again.]
[Kagemitsu will notice it, right? Besides, there is that sentence in the notebook. Keimitsu will definitely investigate.]
[Suddenly, it seems that Jingguang is also very cruel. The truth revealed by the investigation is that one by one, his friends have died.]
[I think the more annoying one is Touko, who is trapped in the same day and can't get out]
[Speaking of loops, it suddenly occurred to me that the words in the notebook might have been left by Toruko, but it was Toruko in another loop, so Toruko here doesn’t know.]
[What you said before makes a lot of sense. Tooru here also said that he took the notebook, so that sentence was left by Toru to Keimitsu, asking Keimitsu to save Toru here?]
[I think it's wrong. The Toru here has the memory of every cycle. If the words in the notebook were left by Toru, then he should have memories.]
[So dizzy, so what is the truth? 】
[I also think that Toruko didn't know what was in the notebook, but he was the one who took the notebook, so there must be a third party involved. As for who the third party is, I think it depends on the player's investigation of the organization. After all, the game has just begun.]
[Toruko and Gin died at the beginning of the game. I'm really worried that the island will be blown up again later.]
[Don’t make a crow’s mouth in front! ! ]
The conversation between Zhufu Jingguang and Ling Yi did not continue, because just like the first time, the other three players checked the room and came to Zhufu Jingguang's room again, and Ling Yi also received a phone call and left, just like the first day.
The four players were already familiar with each other, so they were no longer as unfamiliar as they were the first time. However, they were all speechless for a moment. After all, what happened before was too unbelievable...
"What do you think about cycles?" In the end, the knowledgeable Oda Sakunosuke spoke first.
"Could it be related to the game?" Kudo Shinichi guessed, and after a moment's hesitation, he added, "I tested Conan before, and he seemed to accept my appearance easily. Instead, he was more curious about my purpose of coming here."
After saying that, he looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu again: "Does Rukawa feel the same way?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang paused for a moment, thinking back to Ling Yi's appearance, it seemed as if he had known he would come.
"Do you remember what Bourbon said?" Huang Hun reminded them at this time, "He once said that we came here as reinforcements, and he, as the person in charge of the support, knows our situation very well."
“So, I think there might be some connection between bourbon and gaming.”
"Are you saying that the cycle is also related to Mr. Bourbon?" asked Kudo Shinichi.
"Not sure." Huang Hun shook his head. After all, they knew too few clues now.
"We have speculated before that the game might be looking for ratings, so is it possible that the game has put this world into a cycle for the sake of ratings?" Oda Sakunosuke suddenly spoke up.
"I don't think so. According to the game selection criteria we analyzed earlier, this game seems to have some kind of operating rules." Huang Hun thought for a while and said, "For example, fairness and justice. If that's the case, then this game should not take the initiative to do things that are harmful to the world."
Kudo Shinichi looked at the two of them, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He said, "Maybe there was something wrong with this world, and the game chose this world."
[Shock the kids for a hundred years! Is this the power of a high-end player? ! ]
[I thought the game missions were too difficult before, but after seeing the reasoning abilities of several players, I think it’s okay now]
"There is something wrong with this world..." Morobushi Jingguang looked unhappy because he thought of Zero who was trapped in the loop.
"Mr. Rukawa, have you inquired about that notebook?" Kudo Shinichi asked.
Morofushi Kagemitsu was a little slow to respond. He looked at Kudo Shinichi, and only said, "Toru, I don't know," after the other party repeated the question. Looking at the thoughtful expressions of the three players, he added, "But he put the notebook here."
"Ah?" Kudo Shinichi obviously found this very contradictory, "Mr. Bourbon wasn't joking with you?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head. He took out his notebook and showed it to the three players: "And there is no Morse code in the notebook this time."
The three players took their notebooks back and forth to check, and after confirming that the line of Morse code had indeed disappeared, they all fell into deep thought.
"It seems there are many mysteries here." Oda Sakunosuke finally said, "Maybe we can use time loops to investigate."
With the experience of the last cycle, this time the players did not track and investigate Gin again, but first familiarized themselves with the environment inside the villa. The villa in front of them had two floors. The second floor was where the players and Ling Yi lived. In addition, there were several rooms, one of which was locked. According to Ling Yi, it was the room of another member of the organization, but that member had taken a mission and was not there now.
The remaining floor has a living room, dining room, kitchen, and several rooms. In addition to Gin's room, there is another member of the organization living here. It is said that he is Gin's new brother. He is not in the villa at the moment and seems to have been sent out by Gin to do something.
After searching the villa, several players gathered together again.
"It looks like the main clues are in the underground laboratory," Kudo Shinichi said, "and outside the villa. The residents of this island may also know something."
However, their current identities are members of the organization, and their orders are to stay on standby in the villa. If they walk around casually, Gin might become suspicious again.
"Next time I'll stay outside." Zhu Fu Jingguang said. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the organization, the police could not come in large numbers. However, a few of them disguised themselves as tourists on vacation and sneaked in. They are currently living in a house in the resort. Ling Yi had given them a choice before. They could not come to the organization and wait for orders at the police station.
"I'll stay outside too." Kudo Shinichi also spoke up.
After discussing the result, several people decided to keep watch. They wanted to witness with their own eyes how the cycle happened. Before that, Ling Yi seemed to have sensed their intentions and knocked on the door to remind them: "The cycle will occur at six in the morning."
After Ling Yi left, Kudo Shinichi suddenly spoke up, not knowing what he had in mind, "Mr. Bourbon, didn't you find any clues after so many cycles?"
"Maybe those clues are not enough to shake the organization in front of us." Oda Sakunosuke said that even if the clues were obtained, if the organization could not be wiped out within one day, then a new cycle would start again the next day. There is another possibility that he did not say, that is, everything will be in vain. Even if the organization is eliminated, the cycle will still start the next day and the organization will reappear.
What Oda Sakunosuke thought of was exactly the possibility that the bullet screen had guessed. The other three players also obviously realized this. Morobushi Kagemitsu's face was not very good. He suddenly stood up and said to the others: "I'm going to go out for a while."
Ling Yi opened the door and saw Zhu Fu Jingguang. He smiled and invited him into the room.
Morofu Jingguang looked at the blond young man in front of him. He came over to ask how he had survived so many cycles, but when he saw the young man with a tired smile, he seemed to be strangled by an unknown emotion and could not speak...
"Are you just looking for other clues?" Instead, the young man took the initiative to ask about his purpose. He looked a little helpless and a little guilty. "Sorry, it's been too many times, I can't remember."
