Chapter 39

The other three players and Ling Yi went to the organization's villa in the center of the resort, while Kudo Shinichi first reported to the residence where the public security was located, got a gun, and walked around the resort looking for clues, and finally went to the villa where Bermode was located.

It was about the same time as the last time, and Conan was still answering the phone at the window of the villa. Kudo Shinichi watched this scene from afar and suddenly felt a sense of luck. Maybe the news he heard yesterday was wrong. If he asked again today, would he get a different answer?

Once this feeling of luck arose, he couldn't suppress it, so when Conan Edogawa ran down, Kudo Shinichi pretended that he didn't have a cyclical memory and "re-acquainted" himself with Conan Edogawa.

"You are here to fight against the organization?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, my purpose for being here should be the same as yours."

"Aren't you curious about my identity?"

"You are not curious about my identity either."

"I'm Conan Edogawa, my real name is Kudo Shinichi."

"I'm Edogawa Kagaku, my real name is Kudo Shinichi."

During the question and answer, Kudo Shinichi seemed to have really forgotten what he heard in the previous loop. He looked at Edogawa Conan and asked in a nonchalant manner, "Now that you've become like this, you probably can't go see Ran, right?"

The smooth Q&A suddenly came to a halt. Edogawa Conan did not respond for a long time. Kudo Shinichi's expression gradually stiffened. He turned his eyes to the phone in Conan's hand and forcibly changed the subject: "Were you on the phone just now?"

Conan tightened his grip on the phone, and it seemed to have drained all his strength, so that when he spoke, his voice was very soft: "It's the doctor's call."

It was a very quiet sentence, and if they were standing farther away, he might not have been able to hear it clearly, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help thinking, but they happened to stand together, and just a few short words brought him back to reality. Those memories that he had deliberately forgotten also surged up, and his brain began to automatically help him analyze the meaning behind these words.

The doctor made the phone call, which meant that someone was in the hospital, and that person could only be the seriously injured Mao Lilan. The fact that Conan Edogawa did not look happy when he received the call also meant that what the doctor told him was probably not good news...

Kudo Shinichi suddenly shook his head vigorously. He wanted to stop his brain from working because he didn't want to know the result at this moment...

...

In the organization villa in the center of the resort, when Ling Yi and the three players came back, they met Gin again. He dealt with him in the same way and then took the players back to the room. They had already communicated what needed to be communicated, so this time the players did not gather in Morobushi Jingguang's room. There were only Morobushi Jingguang and Ling Yi in the room.

"Do you know where the organization's chip is?" Zhu Fujingguang asked.

[After so many cycles, Touzi should have found some clues about the chip, right? After all, it is such an important thing.]

[But Touko said before that he forgot after repeating it so many times]

[Important clues may leave an impression]

[I think we still need to see how many times Touzi has cycled. There are more than 300 days in a year. If it has cycled thousands of times, that would be more than ten years. Ten years might be bearable, but what if it is tens of thousands of times? In this case, if he has not gone insane, his will is already extremely strong. How can he remember any clues?]

[But a lot of things must have happened on this day that keeps repeating. Touko will never forget what happened on this day.]

[I don't agree with the previous statement. This is the first cycle after the player enters the game. Apart from the conflict between the player and Gin, nothing special happened on this day.]

[It shouldn't be this peaceful, right? The organization has lost its chip, how could they not take action? 】

[Is it possible that such a peaceful day is a state of balance that Tohru has found after countless cycles?]

[In the early stage, Touzi must have made a lot of efforts and obtained a lot of clues, but no matter how hard he tried, everything would still return to the starting point, so when he was balancing at a certain time, Touzi was finally tired, and he didn't

Try again, no longer make changes, but mechanically follow the cycle, start meeting the same people every day, say the same words, do the same things... keep repeating until the player appears...】

[Wuwuwu, stop talking, people will die if they are stabbed.]

[What I said before was too cruel. It would have been better if Touko had not been given any memories from the beginning.]

[Wuwuwuwuwu! Fortunately, the player appeared. Jingguang will definitely help Toruko break the cycle of curse.]

Just as the comments had guessed, in response to Zhu Fu Jingguang's question, Ling Yi shook his head slightly: "I'm also looking for a chip."

Zhu Fu Jingguang did not look away. He still looked into the young man's purple-gray eyes and asked again, "Does the loss of the tissue chip have anything to do with you?"

The blond young man suddenly frowned, as if trying to recall: "I took it out of the laboratory, but the chip was lost afterwards..."

This answer did not surprise Zhu Fu Jingguang, because he knew his friend's character. How could he not take action at the critical moment after being undercover in the organization for so long? At this moment, the only thing he was worried about was the safety of his friend. The importance of the chip was self-evident. After it was lost, the organization would definitely conduct a strict investigation, especially all those who might have come into contact with the chip.

"Will you continue to stay in the organization and be suspected?" Zhu Fujingguang was very worried about this. Although time would repeat, if his undercover identity was exposed, he would definitely be retaliated by the organization or even killed. And now he completely did not believe that death would be without price.

Ling Yi stretched out his hand and pushed his sleeve to his elbow, revealing a fresh pinhole on his arm: "You should have noticed that every time a cycle starts, everything will be reset. The pinholes on my arm that are reset every time have been reminding me that before the cycle starts, I have been interrogated by the organization."

"The organization must have injected me with truth serum. Although I no longer remember the interrogation process, the fact that I am still here means that they did not get any clues from me."

"Before the cycle started?" Zhu Fujingguang looked at the tired look on the young man's face, and suddenly realized something, and asked, "Are you saying that you have just been interrogated by the organization?"

If the loop had not occurred, according to normal time calculation, the time before the loop started would be yesterday night, which means that when Toru Amuro was reset every day, he was in a state of fatigue after having just been interrogated by the organization.

He had always thought that his friend's fatigue was due to the cycle, but now it seemed that it was not just that. It was also due to the interrogation by the organization. He could not imagine what methods the organization had used. Looking at the pale man in front of him, he suddenly stood up, pulled him to the bed, and said seriously: "You need to rest now!"

Ling Yi was suddenly pushed onto the bed. He was a little dazed. He looked at the worried people in front of him and explained helplessly: "I'm fine. As a member of the organization with a code name, the organization will not do anything excessive without evidence."

After hearing Ling Yi's explanation, Zhu Fu Jingguang still insisted on letting him rest. His unyielding look made him look like a parent urging his child to go to bed early.

"Sorry, I lost the chip." Ling Yi suddenly began to explain the chip, "It disappeared when I came back from the interrogation room..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned for a moment, his face full of self-blame: "I should be the one to say sorry."

I'm sorry that they weren't there at the important moment, and I'm sorry that Ling had to bear it all alone.

"You should have a good rest here." Zhu Fu Jingguang stood up and said as if to make a promise before leaving, "Leave the chips and the organization's affairs to us."

Morofushi Kagemitsu decided to go find Oda Sakunosuke and Huang Hun to discuss today's actions. After he left, Ling Yi looked at the closed door for a long time, his tired expression showing a bit of struggle and guilt, until his cell phone rang, his expression returned to indifference.

Ling Yi took out his cell phone and answered it directly, listening to the same message being repeated countless times: "Bourbon, find out the public security situation in the resort as soon as possible."

"I see."

...

On the other side, in the villa where Vermode was, Kudo Shinichi told Conan about the player's plan for tonight. He wanted Conan to help delay Gin when he came over, just like he did last time. Conan didn't say anything and agreed directly.

It was not difficult for the two to repeat what had happened once. With the cooperation of the two and the help of the unwitting Belmode, they managed to keep Gin for ten more minutes. When Gin left, Conan Edogawa looked at Shinichi Kudo and asked, "Are you here for the chip?"

"Chip?" Kudo Shinichi responded and said, "I think the chip is the key to eradicating the organization."

The organization's boss wants to revive through a chip, so finding the chip and destroying it would mean the complete loss of the organization's leader, and there is no greater blow than this.

"Do you know any clues about the chip?" Kudo Shinichi asked casually.

Conan Edogawa was silent for a while, until Kudo Shinichi looked at him in confusion, he said: "At present, I only know that the whereabouts of the chip is unknown, and the organization is looking for it."

Kudo Shinichi did not continue asking. Perhaps the players' actions tonight would yield some rewards. He would know the result when they reunited next time.

This time, because Morobushi Kagemitsu did not come, Kudo Shinichi did not return to the residential area where the public security was located, but stayed in the villa here. Although he changed his place, he still suffered from insomnia as his mind was full of the organization's affairs.

Since becoming a famous detective, he has been involved in many cases and met all kinds of suspects and victims. He never thought that one day someone close to him would be hurt...

When he first learned the truth, he was shocked, but now he has calmed down. He knows that what he should do most is to catch the culprit this time, just like he caught the suspect every time. This is the best comfort for the victim and the justice that a detective should uphold...

Kudo Shinichi kept convincing himself to stay rational, but he still couldn't fall asleep. He got up at dawn. There was still some time before the new cycle began, so he decided to go to the beach where players gathered in advance to see if doing so would make any changes. However, when he passed the corridor, he vaguely heard the conversation between Vermouth and Conan.

"You should understand the meaning of that chip." This was the voice of Belmode. There was a period of silence, and then Belmode spoke again, "The chip can revive more than just the BOSS. As long as you get the program inside..."

"Lan can wake up again."

Vermouth's voice suddenly stopped here, and there was a longer silence in the room. Outside the room, Kudo Shinichi was stunned.

The method of resurrecting the boss is to program the boss's personality or thinking into a chip using a special program, and then implant the chip into a healthy body. When the program is activated, the personality stored in the chip will invade the body. This means that in order to resurrect one person, you have to kill another person.

Kudo Shinichi's first reaction was that it was ridiculous. He would not accept it, and neither would Ran. But he soon hesitated again. He thought that not all people in this world are innocent good people. There are also some people who have no meaning in their existence. Even if such people are not allowed, then what about those brain-dead vegetative people?

When he realized what he was thinking, Kudo Shinichi was stunned. Why did he think like that? No matter what the reason, the rights of others should not be infringed. This is the right choice, but... Kudo Shinichi looked at the door in front of him, and his eyes seemed to see through Conan through the door. After all, this is Conan's world.

What would Conan choose? He held his breath, wanting to hear the answer, but time did not give him another chance, because at this moment, a new cycle began...
