Chapter 976 The Luck of the Weak
Dr. Agasa's house.
Huiyuan Ai sat in a chair and hung up the phone. She buried her head between her knees, her fair skin slightly red, and her heart pounding.
At first, she just wanted to casually announce that she was going to the opening ceremony of the Nishitama City Twin Towers, and then see if her sister, or Miss Anonymous, would show up there.
But halfway through her words, Haibara Ai was shocked to find that she was actually speaking in a spoiled and willful tone to the anonymous people who might have heard the call.
After realizing this, she quickly felt guilty, barely finished what she wanted to say, and immediately hung up the phone.
Haibara Ai raised her hand to support her forehead and thought regretfully: I really did mistake Miss Anonymous for my sister.
"..." She actually used one person as a substitute for another person without permission... If Miss Anonymous could really hear what I said just now, I hope she wouldn't be angry.
She sighed guiltily.
Afterwards, Haibara Ai looked at the stopwatch in her hand that stopped at "18", reset it to zero, and deleted the record.
…
When she just escaped from the organization, Haibara Ai's entire family was killed and she was the only one left. She was disheartened and had little desire to survive.
But later, she had a stable living environment, some enthusiastic and cheerful friends, and also got in touch with Anonymous...The intensity of Haibara Ai's desire to survive is slowly approaching the range of normal people.
Especially when she thought of Anonymous, Haibara Ai felt that she could not just sit back and relax: she had to keep up with the times and keep up with the ever-developing cutting-edge technology, so that she would have the opportunity to become a formal member from a peripheral member of Anonymous, and then truly integrate into this extremely mysterious organization that gave her a huge sense of security.
With this idea in mind, Haibara Ai began to continuously absorb new knowledge.
Especially now, since she is staying at the home of the almighty Dr. Agasa, she has been exposed to many things related to programming.
Therefore, every time she made a secret phone call, although Haibara Ai wanted to say more to her sister, she knew very well in her heart: she was now a "fugitive" targeted by the organization, and it was impossible for her to do whatever she wanted.
After all, the organization has always been prominent in technology, especially in the fields of computers and medicine.
As far as Haibara Ai knows, the more common reverse tracking program on the market now - that is, the device that the police often use to locate the location of incoming kidnapping calls - usually takes about a minute to determine the location of the caller during a call.
However, Dr. Agasa's very unstable black technology tracking takes 30 seconds.
If organizations also start developing this kind of thing...
When Huiyuan Ai couldn't help but call for the first time, she thought about this problem. She carefully cut Dr. Agasa's time in half and set it at "15 seconds" to avoid the call being too long and accidentally exposing her location.
Every time she called Miyano Akemi's apartment, Haibara Ai would think about what she was going to say in advance, and then after listening to her sister's message, she would say what she wanted to say in one sentence in a very short time, like a short mood diary.
Today...
Haibara Ai remembered the stopwatch that was set at "18" and frowned.
“……”It exceeded the limit by a little, 3 seconds…it shouldn’t be a problem.
Anyway, I'd better delete the message I just posted...
She sighed softly and picked up the phone again.
…
The other side.
In the secret apartment that Akemi Miyano rented before her death.
Vodka rushed to the computer screen, looking at the progress stuck at 18 seconds, and couldn't help but punched the table: "Damn, just one step away! Such luck tonight..."
"Shut up." Gin exhaled a puff of smoke with a gloomy face and said coldly, "Only the weak rely on luck."
"..." Vodka thought of the average bad luck of the organization and the luck of his eldest brother, and lowered his head, "Sorry, I spoke out of turn."
I am reflecting silently and removing the word "luck" from my dictionary.
At this moment, the phone next to me suddenly rang.
——The phone call came again.
Vodka was startled, looked over with shining eyes, secretly hoping: I must fight for a while longer.
The location was lost just now, so I had to start over. But twenty seconds is not a long time, and women love to chat on the phone. This time, if Shirley relaxes a little...
Under his quiet gaze.
The answering machine mode was on. In the phone, the sweet voice pre-recorded by Miyano Akemi sounded again: "Hello, this is Miyano, I am not... "
“Beep, beep, beep—”
"Click"
With a few key sounds, the message was deleted.
Then the caller hung up the phone neatly, and the room returned to silence.
Vodka: “…” How could this be?
He was stunned for a moment, looked at Gin, and said anxiously: "Brother, could it be that she smelled our scent..."
"No." Gin seemed to know Shirley very well. "Although she is a girl whose mind is dominated by emotions and she has just stepped out of the ivory tower. Moreover, she has been studying academics since she was a child and has never seen these scenes. But after all, she was once one of us, and she should have some sense of confidentiality. Shirley probably just doesn't want to leave a recording on the phone. It's a pity, haha, she probably wouldn't dream that we were listening next to the phone."
Vodka perked up: "That means...she will call me again like she did just now?"
"Not in the short term." Gin sneered, "But it seems that even God is on our side this time."
Vodka was stunned for a second, vaguely feeling that this was related to "luck".
However, this is obviously not the point.
He quickly grasped the real key words: "The opening ceremony of the twin towers in Seymour City!"
This is the news revealed by Shirley in that phone call just now.
Gin nodded and stood up, his whole body filled with murderous intent: "We just happened to be dealing with the computer room in that building. Since Shirley offered it to me, I will accept this gift with reluctance."
He walked to the window and looked outside through the gap in the heavy curtains.
The view here is good, and you can see the "Nishitama City Twin Towers" in the night from afar.
"'I want to see my sister there, no matter what she looks like now'... Do you think the dead will linger in the places she loved when she was alive? Humph, how naive you are."
Gin recalled what Shirley had just said, and thought about Miyano Akemi, whose death he had personally confirmed, and chuckled, "I actually miss my sister so much that I want to see a ghost. It's a pity that there are no ghosts in this world. I can only send them to heaven to reunite."
He raised his head, and the twin towers towering into the sky in the distance were reflected in his eyes, as if he had seen the tragic scene of its collapse: "Since it is known as the 'place closest to heaven', it is just right to be used as the guillotine for the traitor.
"It's a pity that this magnificent building will close forever on the day it opened."
