Chapter 1025 Chapter 1033 [Zhazha Akai]
"Don't be nervous, just be a normal peripheral member first." Akai Shuichi said calmly, "Once I have mastered the disguise, I will replace you. During this time, I can confirm Wu Zuo's specific attitude towards you for the future handover. In short, before that, remember to go to a place to check the situation first."
He pulled out a map of the area near the Twin Towers in Nishitama City and zoomed in on a certain spot. It was a tall building across from the Twin Towers.
This building was originally a landmark, but it was overshadowed by the twin towers. However, it is right in front of the observation elevator, so it is a very suitable sniping point.
"Since the organization has made a complete assassination plan, they may also go here to scout the area. It is inconvenient for me to show up."
Akai Shuichi patted Okiya Subaru's shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you."
Okiya Subaru: "..."
…
the next day.
Peaceful Beika Town.
Since Jiang Xia discovered a new skill last night, he tried to make "white fog" all night and went to bed at dawn. When he got up, it was almost noon.
In addition to him, there were several other people who also overslept - consciously participating in the "game" was an exhausting thing, and the high school students who were forced to play along had just woken up.
Jiang Xia was looking at the sun outside, wondering whether he should take the opportunity to visit his classmates, when his cell phone suddenly vibrated.
He picked it up and saw that the caller ID was actually "Hattori Heiji".
"..." Jiang Xia was a little surprised: It was really rare, his friend in Osaka usually looked like he was keeping a distance from him, but today he took the initiative to call him... Could it be that Conan hadn't gotten up yet and the call couldn't go through, so he called him?
He quickly answered the phone: "Hello?"
On the other side, Hattori Heiji took a deep breath and said directly: "The weather is nice today."
Jiang Xia: “……?”
Just as I was looking at my phone with some confusion, I heard Hattori Heiji click his tongue and mutter in a low voice: "...As expected."
Jiang Xia: "Is that really the case?"
Hattori Heiji said solemnly: "As expected, the weather is very good, suitable for traveling."
“…”
Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at Noah and began to wonder if Osaka had been played badly last night.
But soon, he suddenly understood.
——Before entering the game, several players "voluntarily" clicked the consent button and signed the "User Confidentiality Clause" that was suspected to be Noah's skill.
Now it seems that this clause may cause participants to unconsciously change the topic when they want to talk about the "game", just like "forgetting the word when writing", "originally wanted to memorize words but suddenly opened the game and quickly forgot that I just wanted to memorize words"...
In the eyes of those who firmly believe in science, this is probably because "Anonymous", who possesses high-end technology, has planted some kind of psychological suggestion in them with the help of electric current - the Black Organization can make magical drugs that can make people grow bigger or smaller, and Anonymous, who is even more mysterious than them, has mastered an incredible hypnosis technique, which is actually very reasonable.
…
Hattori Heiji wanted to bring up the game twice, but both times he accidentally turned the topic to the weather.
He sighed, confirmed his guess, did not continue the awkward conversation with Jiang Xia, and quickly hung up the phone.
Jiang Xia put down his phone, recalled the tone of voice that Hattori Heiji had just used, and secretly learned from it in his mind so that he could behave like them when he met other "players".
Then he packed up and prepared to go out.
However, just as I pushed the door open, a young figure suddenly flashed past in my peripheral vision.
——The wall between Jiangxia’s house and Dr. Agasa’s house would be blown into holes every now and then by some strange inventions.
At this time, Haibara Ai was wrapped in pajamas, with her furry head sleeping, and she skillfully crawled out of the hole.
…
When she looked up and saw Jiang Xia at the door, Huibara Ai was stunned, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
——After being forced to log off last night, she fell into a deep sleep.
Just now, when she opened her eyes, she found that it was already daybreak. After sitting on the bed for a while, she was startled when she thought about what happened before she fell asleep. She immediately got up and planned to go to the next room to see what happened to Jiang Xia.
No matter how friendly the Anonymous usually act, they are still a mysterious and dangerous organization after all. Since they said the rules such as "failure in the game means the whole team is wiped out", it must be true.
——Although she is still alive, Huiyuan Ai remembers that she is considered a "peripheral member" of the Anonymous organization. She is worried that the reason she is still alive is because she has been transformed from a "player" to "the first NPC who dies tragically and promotes the plot", so the Anonymous people are lenient with her...
Now that she saw Jiang Xia was still alive, Huibara Ai finally felt relieved.
She slowed down her pace and looked at Jiang Xia, wanting to ask about the situation in the game: "Have you eaten breakfast?"
Huiyuan Ai: “……?”
No, that's not what she meant!
When Jiang Xia heard her words, he was stunned for a moment and then nodded at her.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Huibara Ai belatedly remembered the "User Confidentiality Clause".
A flash of enlightenment flashed through her mind, and she looked at Jiang Xia: "Have you eaten lunch?"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
…She wanted to talk about the “Terms of Use”!
“……” Huibara Ai’s forehead twitched slightly and she raised her hand to rub her hair - her brain and mouth were out of sync, which made her a little annoyed.
After trying several times, she still failed to break through the limit. In the end, she was the only one who breathed a sigh of relief and gave up challenging the anonymous psychological suggestion technique.
Fortunately, judging from Jiang Xia’s calm expression and the meaningful nod just now, the “game” incident last night should have been perfectly resolved.
Haibara Ai pulled up her furry nightcap to cover her messy hair, and the two short rabbit ears on the cap stood up.
She started talking about normal topics: "I'll go back and wash up first. Um, what do you want to eat later?"
"No need to help me prepare. I'll go to the office first. I have an appointment with a client and it's almost time. I'll eat there." Jiang Xia glanced at the top of her head and couldn't help but lower his hand to rub this very tasteful pajama hat.
He seemed to know exactly what Huihara Ai was thinking, and waved his phone with his other hand: "Hattori called just now and said that the weather in Osaka was very good. He also said that he had a nightmare, but fortunately it was just an ordinary dream."
Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment, then nodded: No wonder Jiang Xia didn't try to violate the "confidentiality clause" just now, it turned out that he had already talked to the relevant people.
She also quickly understood Jiang Xia's hint - Hattori Heiji probably died once, and then came back to life because of his desire to successfully complete the game.
Even Hattori Heiji is fine, so the other three people who are more familiar with Jiang Xia must be safe as well.
Huibara Ai was completely relieved.
She nodded to Jiang Xia, turned and walked to the wall, skillfully crawled through the hole in the wall, and climbed back to Agasa's house.
