Chapter 37

[What does Touko mean? ]

[Because I have gone through so many cycles, I can no longer remember the clues I have found? ]

[Given Toruko's status and perseverance, how many cycles would it take to wear her down?]

[Toruko must have made a lot of efforts at the beginning, using the loop to investigate clues and fight against the organization, but no matter what he did, the cycle did not stop, and everything would always return to the starting point]

[Wuwuwu, I suddenly feel so sorry for Touzi. With the memory looping, every day is repetitive. If it were me, I would probably go crazy.]

[I remember what Tohko said when she saw Keimitsu: "It's been a long time." For Tohko, it really was a long time.]

What happened yesterday is just yesterday for other people, but for Toru Amuro, today, yesterday and tomorrow have become a very distant existence after repeating it countless times.

Now he couldn't even remember the early things about the loop. For example, he remembered that he had used the loop to get the password to enter the underground laboratory, but now, he couldn't remember what the password was at all.

In addition, at the beginning of the cycle, he had died many times in order to obtain intelligence, his soul was weakened, and the memories he could retain became less and less. For him, there were some precious memories that he was unwilling to lose no matter what, so he could only discard the clues he had collected.

...

"Sorry, it's so many times that I can't remember."

It was a very light sentence, but every word in it seemed to carry a weight of ten thousand pounds, pressing down on Zhu Fu Jingguang's heart layer by layer. His mouth trembled slightly, and the words of comfort were on his lips, but he couldn't say them out loud, because compared with everything the blond young man had endured, any comfort seemed too pale...

The loop starts at six in the morning. Players can rest at night and get up early to deal with the loop, but Morofu Jingguang still didn't close his eyes all night. His eyes and mind were full of scenes of his friends saying sorry to him that they couldn't remember clearly. In addition to the unspeakable grief, he also felt a little bit fortunate, fortunate that he was chosen by the game, fortunate that he could come here.

No matter how dangerous the Black Organization is, he must find out the truth behind this world, or at least help Zero escape from the cycle...

At six o'clock in the morning, the four players returned to the beach outside the resort where they first entered the game, just as they were teleported into the game...

The blond-haired, dark-skinned young man came up from behind them again. Zhu Fu Jingguang remembered that the young man had said the same thing to them the last two times. This time, he spoke first: "I want to stay outside this time."

Even though time was still looping, he wanted Zero to feel a little different.

Ling Yi paused, nodded, and looked at the other three people: "What about you?"

"Mr. Rukawa and I will stay together." Kudo Shinichi said. This was what they had discussed yesterday.

Because Morobushi Kagemitsu and Kudo Shinichi did not go undercover in the organization, they did not go to meet Vermouth this time. Ling Yi first took a few people to the residence where the plainclothes police were located, and after introducing the two parties to each other, he took Huang Hun and Oda Sakunosuke back to the organization's villa.

After everyone left, Zhu Fu Jingguang communicated with the plainclothes police, and what he got was similar to what Ling Yi told them.

"How long have you guys been in the police force?" After talking about the organization, Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly asked about other things. He felt that the police officers in front of him were very unfamiliar, and none of them were the ones he had seen when he joined the police force.

"Although we have only joined in the past two years, we are seniors compared to you two." One of them said, looking at Morobushi Kagemitsu and Kudo Shinichi, and said, "But you two were personally brought here by your seniors, so you must have been very powerful guys when you were in the police academy."

Kudo Shinichi smiled awkwardly, because he had never been to police school and this was his first time working as a public security officer. This situation made him more convinced of the mystery of the game, and at the same time, more curious about the secrets of this world.

However, Morobushi Kagemitsu is different from Kudo Shinichi because in reality, he has just graduated from the police academy and he still remembers many things clearly. When they are mentioned at this time, he can't help but think of the scene when he was in the police academy, when he and Zero, as well as Matsuda, Hagiwara, and Date Kou gathered together.

Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled for the first time and said to his police colleagues, "Hearing what you said, do you know what Toru did when he was in the police academy?"

"Of course, the senior was always the first in the police academy. After so many years, the instructors still use the senior's deeds to motivate us." A police officer said, looking at Zhufu Jingguang, wondering, "Didn't your instructor tell you about the senior's deeds?"

"Yes," Morobushi Kagemitsu replied, still smiling, "It is said that there are several people at the same level as the senior, and they are also very outstanding."

"Yes." Another police officer echoed, but his expression suddenly turned to regret, "It's a pity that those seniors are no longer here..."

The smile on Morofushi Jingguang's face suddenly froze. He looked at the person who was speaking and asked, "What did you say he was gone?"

"They are Morobushi-senpai, Matsuda-senpai, Hagiwara-senpai, and Date Kou-senpai, who were in the same grade as you." The person who spoke sighed, "Of those outstanding police officers of the first grade, only Furuya-senpai is left now."

[The knife is coming]

[Wuwuwu, I was hoping that the police academy team in this parallel world would survive. Why did you let my hopes be dashed?]

[Holding Jingguang with heartache]

Perhaps because he didn't get enough rest last night, Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly felt a little dizzy, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears. He even suspected that he was hallucinating, but the expression of regret on the face of the public security officer in front of him kept reminding him that it was just as he heard...

It turns out that he is not the only one in this world. Matsuda and the others are gone too. Only Ling is left here, trapped in an endless time loop...

"Are you okay?" The person who spoke noticed that Morobushi Jingguang looked unwell and asked with concern.

Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head in a daze: "Sorry, I didn't get enough rest yesterday, I want to go back to my room to rest first..."

"Is he really okay?" A public security officer asked Kudo Shinichi after Morofushi Kagemitsu left.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu's back, shook his head without answering, and also suggested going out for a walk.

The other plainclothes police officers did not stop him, but only reminded Kudo Shinichi not to do anything eye-catching so as not to expose his identity.

After coming outside, Kudo Shinichi observed the indigenous residents in the resort and the tourists who came here for vacation. To be honest, without contact, it was difficult for him to tell whether there were any potential members of the organization among these people.

Kudo Shinichi walked around the resort and finally came to the villa where Vermouth was. He wanted to talk to the other self, maybe he could find out something.

Kudo Shinichi approached slowly, and he saw Conan from a distance. Conan was standing by the window on the second floor, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and seemed to be talking on the phone. He didn't know if it was because of the light, but when he looked at him from below, he always felt that Conan's expression was a little too deep...

Conan hung up the phone, seemed to notice his gaze, looked up, was stunned for a moment when he saw him, then quickly ran into the room and ran out of the villa.

"You appear here, are you here to deal with the organization?"

Conan said something similar to what he said in the second loop. Kudo Shinichi looked at the person who had no memory and suddenly didn't know where to start, because he remembered Amuro Toru who also had memory. The other person was experiencing what he was experiencing every day, and everyone he met would repeat the same words to him, every day. He felt a little tired after only repeating it three times. If the cycle goes on, can anyone really persist in such an environment?

He thought of the notebook in Morofu Jingguang's room. The content on the notebook was "Stop ZERO". Does this indicate that in the repeated cycles, the originally determined people have changed their original intentions?

Kudo Shinichi didn't think any further. He looked at Conan and said, "I'm here to deal with the organization, so can you tell me what you know?"

Conan Edogawa did not answer his question immediately, but held his chin up and thought about it, and just like in the second loop, he made a deduction: "You don't seem to be curious about my identity at all?"

"Where did you hear that? In this resort, let me think... Was it Amuro-nii?"

Kudo Shinichi quietly waited for Conan Edogawa to finish his reasoning. He neither nodded nor shook his head, but suddenly asked: "What would you do if one day you found that time was in a loop?"

Edogawa Conan paused, then looked up at Kudo Shinichi. The sunlight reflected on the lens, and Kudo Shinichi could not see his expression clearly. He only heard him say, "I will wait for the day when change occurs."

"But how can I change it..." Kudo Shinichi was lost in thought, not noticing the complicated look that Conan Edogawa was giving him.

"There may not be much I can tell you about the organization." Edogawa Conan suddenly talked about what happened before, "But I can take you to see Chris Wynyard."

"Chris Wynyard?"

"A member of the organization."

"Why are you with the members of the organization?" Kudo Shinichi suddenly looked at Conan.

Facing Kudo Shinichi's suspicious gaze, Conan narrowed his eyes and said speechlessly: "Not every member of the organization is the same."

"You mean that Chrissie Wynyard is a good person?"

This time Conan did not answer immediately. He walked in front in silence, leading Kudo Shinichi into the villa. Just as he saw Vermouth walking out of the room, he continued, "He is someone who can help you."

Kudo Shinichi looked up and saw a surprised Vermouth, who had the same expression as the last two times he saw him. He didn't know whether to introduce himself again or get straight to the point. Instead, Vermouth quickly calmed down and said to him, "Cool guy, this is not the place for you."

Kudo Shinichi thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Are you familiar with me?"

He had this feeling when they first met. At that time, he guessed that the other party might be familiar with Conan, so he also understood him, but now it seems that this is not the case. This place is not suitable for him, but Conan stayed here. Vermouth obviously distinguished him from Conan...
