Chapter 45

"Why do you always look at that notebook?" Ling Yi looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang sitting at the table and asked curiously.

"Maybe I'm still a little uncomfortable after leaving the police academy," said Morobushi Jingguang. "Seeing these familiar things reminds me of the classroom."

"When you're in class, you don't get distracted like you are now." The blond-haired, dark-skinned young man teased him.

"Was I distracted just now?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked innocent. He didn't look like a public security officer at all. Instead, he looked like a sunny boy from a neighbor's family. Just being with him quietly could make one feel warm and healed.

The blond-haired, dark-skinned young man's eyebrows softened as he asked, "Are we going to the lab again this time?"

"Hmm," said Morobushi Kagemitsu, "this time the commotion might be a bit big."

"Do you need my help?" Ling Yi asked again. The atmosphere between the two of them didn't sound like they were discussing something as big as destroying an organization. Instead, it sounded more like they were discussing the weather.

Morofushi Jingguang thought for a moment, looked at the man who always had a tired look on his face and said, "Maybe you can help me get some more sleep."

Ling Yi smiled helplessly, and under the gaze of Zhu Fu Jingguang, he lay down on the bed and said before closing his eyes: "Then remember to wake me up."

...

Perhaps because everyone has their own concerns, before the action begins, even though everything is no different from other loops, the players all feel that time is taking a very long time, as if they have been waiting for a long time before night falls.

Kudo Shinichi and Edogawa Conan hid in Vermouth's room, waiting for Gin to come. This time, both of them were silent.

No matter what they did before, even if they made mistakes, they could always start over with the cycle, but this time they are trying to break the cycle, and no one can predict where the cycle will lead to.

Not only Conan and Toru Amuro who have memories, but even the players who are accustomed to the cycle, are paralyzed by the sense of security created by the cycle again and again, and suddenly become afraid of change and afraid to step out.

Kudo Shinichi knew that he was wrong to think this way, so he convinced Conan, how could he waver? The sense of security brought by the cycle is just an illusion. Indulging in the cycle will only make you more and more courageless, just like drawing a line on the ground to make yourself a prison, forever trapping yourself in a tortoise shell, never being able to get rid of it, the only way out is to move forward...

"What happened at the beginning of the cycle?" Kudo Shinichi suddenly asked. He needed to say something to put an end to his wild thoughts.

Edogawa Conan frowned and didn't answer immediately because those memories were too long ago for him.

"Did they fight with the organization?" Kudo Shinichi took the initiative to guess.

Edogawa Conan looked at him, as if he had been reminded, and suddenly said: "There was a fight, and the entire island where the resort was located was destroyed."

"Ah?" Kudo Shinichi opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect to hear such an answer. "Then the people in the resort..."

"No one was spared, including me." Conan Edogawa recalled his initial feeling, "But I woke up again. I thought I was just having a nightmare, but later I found out that waking up was the beginning of the nightmare..."

Edogawa Conan looked at his palm and said, "Sometimes, I feel that the cycle does not exist at all. I died when the resort was bombed. The only thing that keeps me wandering here is my unwilling obsession."

"There is only one truth, but you can only see it by going out." Kudo Shinichi said, "Since you can't confirm whether what is in front of you is true or false, then go out and see."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and it seemed that Gin was coming. The two stopped talking and listened carefully to the situation outside. They wanted to make some noise to lure people over and delay time before Gin left.

"There are rats in the resort. The most important thing you should do now, Bermode, is to find clues about the rats." Gin's voice came vaguely through the door.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Conan, remembered what he had just talked about, and suddenly asked: "How did the resort get destroyed?"

"Yes..." Edogawa Conan suddenly held his head and tried hard to search through a large number of meaningless looping memories, "Rum is dead..."

"You mean Rum died and then the resort was blown up?" Kudo Shinichi confirmed softly.

Conan Edogawa nodded slowly: "The detonation switch should be on Rum. Once he dies and loses vital signs, the switch will be automatically triggered..."

After catching the beginning part, Conan suddenly pulled out more memories, because he was different from Amuro Toru, he only died once when the resort was bombed, and all the memories after that were deliberately forgotten by him. Although they were covered by a large number of looping memories, they did not disappear.

Toru Amuro has died many times in the cycle. Each death not only consumes his soul, but also erases his memory. For him, there are some memories that he cannot forget no matter what, so he can only discard those clues related to the organization.

At this moment, when Kudo Shinichi heard what Conan said, his face changed suddenly, because in this action, the player had to take action against Rum. If Rum died, wouldn't the resort in front of him be destroyed again?

The first time the entire resort was blown up, time went into a loop, what would happen if it happened again? Kudo Shinichi couldn't imagine the consequences, and he wanted to rush back to stop it, but it was too late, Gin was already here, which meant that the player had already taken action...

What should I do? Kudo Shinichi thought hard, and when he saw Conan, he asked, "Do you remember the specific situation at that time?"

Conan frowned and thought, and began to slowly recall. At that time, he hated the organization very much, so he cooperated with Amuro Toru. Originally, they did not plan to act so quickly, but Amuro Toru discovered that the chip was missing. The disappearance of the chip would produce too many variables, so they had to take risks and take action.

Since becoming an experimental subject of the organization, Rum has always regarded Amuro Toru as an undercover agent of the organization infiltrated into the Public Security Bureau. Amuro Toru took advantage of this and lied that he had caught the Public Security lurking in the resort and lured Rum out of the underground laboratory. Then there was a chaotic battle. Rum died in the conflict due to his inconvenience in movement, and then the whole resort was blown up...

Conan's memories did not give Kudo Shinichi any solution, but Gin was about to leave at this time, and they had to hold him back...

...

At this time, in the organization's underground laboratory, the players were divided into two groups. Morofushi Kagemitsu went to the rest area to deal with Rum, while Huang Hun and Oda Sakunosuke stayed to deal with the researchers here.

The two sides acted separately. Zhu Fu Jingguang wore the robbed lab coat, a gas mask on his face, and held the gun given by Ling Yi in his hand. He bypassed the people in the laboratory and came to the rest area.

Having interrogated a researcher before, he had already determined the location of Rum's room. At this time, he stood outside Rum's door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, with an unprecedented cold look behind the gas mask.

The person inside the door seemed to have not expected someone to come at this time, so he did not respond. Zhu Fu Jingguang was very patient, knocked on the door again, and said, "Rum, I found the clue to the chip."

This time there was movement inside the door quickly, the sound of a wheelchair rolling across the floor, and then the door opened with a click.

Seeing the appearance of the person outside the door, Rum was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted: "Who are you?"

The man in front of him answered him by raising his gun...

[Just came from Shinichi's live broadcast room, I want to say that we can't shoot, if Rum dies, the whole resort will be destroyed!!!]

【What? What kind of information is this? 】

【Why can't Rum die? 】

What happened?

Many viewers who had been watching the live broadcast here and were unaware of the conversation between Kudo Shinichi and Conan began to ask questions.

[The detonation switch is on Rum. It will be triggered automatically when he dies.]

【This is too cruel! 】

[Someone come and stop Jingguang]

[Kagemitsu, don't shoot!!!]

[Wow wow wow, I’m a little scared to watch this, I hope it’s not going to explode]

Time is precious, and Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't want to waste time talking to Rum at this time. He pulled the trigger directly, and Rum, who was sitting in the wheelchair, stared at him and suddenly smiled viciously.

Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't help but frown, and his hands paused for a moment. He soon realized that Rum might be trying to play some tricks again. He aimed at the person in front of him again, wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible. However, just when his fingers were about to be completely clasped, another hand suddenly appeared, holding his hand and pressing it down...

Gunshots were heard, but they hit the floor. Morofu Jingguang turned around and saw someone who shouldn't be here.

"Why are you here?" There was obvious surprise on his face, because it was Ling Yi who came to stop him.

Ling Yi did not answer, but quickly stepped forward and injected an injection into Rum's neck. After making sure that Rum was unconscious, he turned around and looked at the young man behind him.

"Come to stop you." Ling Yi said.

"Stop what?" Zhu Fu Jingguang thought his thoughts were discovered. Although he remained calm on the surface, he couldn't help feeling nervous in his heart.

Ling Yi took out his cell phone and showed it to Zhu Fu Jingguang. On it was a message from Kudo Shinichi...

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the message on his mobile phone and realized that Ling Yi did not realize his purpose. He felt relieved. However, soon when he realized the meaning of the message and looked at Rum, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Ling Yi also looked at Rum. When Kudo Shinichi sent him a message, it was actually too late to stop him. After all, he had to come down from the villa. The trouble was that he had to bypass the researchers in the laboratory. So in order to catch up successfully, he used some non-scientific methods.

The scientific world has its own independent system, and non-scientific means will be rejected by the world. The game system initially invested a lot of energy to successfully arrange a reasonable identity for the players. Ling Yi just used non-scientific means to accelerate the consumption of the energy previously invested by the system. This means that the ninth cycle is the player’s last cycle. When this cycle ends, the game will be settled.

[Due to some unpredictable reasons, the game period has been changed to nine days. Please be informed.] The game conditions have changed, and 599 came out to inform the players.

After hearing this announcement, several players had different reactions. Zhu Fu Jingguang subconsciously looked at Ling Yi. He knew that he would leave after the game ended, but he didn't expect that the end time would be earlier than he expected.

Fortunately, he was prepared to solve the problem in this cycle. Even if he left, with another one of him around, Zero should be able to get out of the cycle.

However, Ling Yi's sudden appearance in the laboratory still disrupted his plan a little, and he still needed to find a suitable reason to send him away...

Morobushi Kagemitsu thought about it and was about to speak when Oda Sakunosuke and Huang Hun, who had just dealt with the other researchers, came over. They wanted to discuss the game broadcast with Morobushi Kagemitsu.

But after the two of them came over, the first thing they noticed was Ling Yi’s sudden appearance.

Huang Hun and Oda Sakunosuke's gaze swept between Ling Yi and Morofushi Kagemitsu, and it was unknown what they were thinking of, and their expressions suddenly became serious.

"Were you deceiving us before?" Huang Hun spoke, and it was obvious that he was questioning Ling Yi.

Ling Yi looked at the two of them, his expression calm: "My decision remains unchanged."

Morofushi Jingguang looked at the two parties who seemed to be in a puzzle, not understanding what was going on: "You..."

[It feels like Jingguang’s home has been robbed]

[Is this considered Infernal Affairs? ]

【Those who come to Ke to learn dungeons are all high-level players】

[Players who seem to be in harmony actually have their own thoughts]
