Chapter 204

When Xingchuan and Ming opened the door and got on the car, the atmosphere between Baifu and Nishihara Tadahiko had obviously relaxed a lot. Seeing him get on the car, Nishihara Tadahiko's police spirit began to act up and asked with concern:

"Case solved? What happened?"

Xingchuan and Ming briefly explained what had just happened, and ended by saying:

"Conan will soon know that I have discovered his identity. With his personality, he will definitely be restless, but he will not confront me immediately. Instead, he will ask Akai Shuichi and Furuya Rei about the situation of Momotani and Scotland first."

Upon hearing this, Bai Fu, who was sitting in the back row, immediately snorted coldly.

"There's nothing to be found about Rye. I've never had much in common with him. But Scotland..."

Nishihara Tadahiko quickly said:

"Mr. Zhufu is not a talkative person. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must first inform him that you are willing to join us."

Baifu tilted his head:

"I don't want to interfere with the police's mission. I just helped out because we both have the same goal."

Nishihara Tadahiko immediately nodded with a smile:

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

Xingchuan and Ming immediately nodded in agreement, with an obedient attitude that said "I support everything you said."

Baifu hummed with satisfaction, like a big cat whose fur had been stroked, and gave the two people an approving look as if giving alms.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki's eyes flickered for a moment, and he tried hard to suppress his laughter. Nishihara Tadahiko looked serious and sincere, and he looked unfazed by the insult, which made Hoshikawa Kazuaki admire him greatly.

The three drove to Xingchuan Heming's apartment. After two professionals conducted a detailed inspection of the room, they were finally able to sit down and talk. The three sat around the dining table. Xingchuan Heming put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and then said:

"You two, one is a regular policeman, one is a member of the organization, plus Xiaozhi who is being used by the organization to develop programs, and me, a poor cartoonist who is being targeted. In addition to our own jobs, the four of us have a more important task, which is to complete the task of the comic book and complete the interpretation of a comic book. So we... huh? What's that expression on your face?"

As Xingchuan and Ming talked, they glanced at the two people, but suddenly found that the two people in front of them showed surprised and guilty expressions. Xingchuan and Ming slowly frowned.

"I say, you two, could it be that you have forgotten about this?"

Seeing the two looking at each other without saying anything, Xingchuan and Ming were also shocked.

"No way? Did you really forget?"

Nishihara Tadahiko cleared his throat and continued the conversation:

"So, do you have a plan?"

Xingchuan and Ming rolled their eyes, and then they ignored the question and continued:

"Look, the composition of our personnel is actually quite balanced. There is the red team," he pointed at Nishihara Tadahiko, "there is the black team," he pointed at Baifu, "there is me, an innocent passerby targeted by the villain," he pointed at himself, "as for Xiaozhi, I am a naive person in the gray area who got himself into the organization. Oh, by the way, didn't anyone tell Xiaozhi to come and discuss future development with us?"

The chain of consciousness shook, and the voice of Kagano Satoshi came from the minds of the three people:

"Here I come. Even if I fail the organization's mission, I will not miss our four-person meeting. And, Xiaoxing, I am not a fool. If you keep talking nonsense, I will hack into your computer and make it so that no matter what program you open, the minesweeper will pop up automatically 24 hours a day. You can't close the program until you pass the level."

Xingchuan Heming said expressionlessly:

"Oh, what a shame. I'm allergic to all electronic products. I'm afraid if I turn on a computer, I won't live long enough to see the minesweeper pop up on the screen."

Kagino Satoshi was shocked.

Satoshi Kagino wanted to give him a thumbs-up, but he thought that the other party couldn't see it at all, so he gave up.

"Actually, according to my original plan, I wanted to use the original plot of the Red vs. Black showdown in this world line to weave a script for the four of us. Although this is nothing new, it can take advantage of the popularity of this world itself in the comics community, and at least this can guarantee our survival after the plot ends. But what I didn't expect was..."

Hoshikawa and Ming opened the comic book in front of the two of them.

Because the three people plus Kagano Satoshi who is participating remotely in consciousness are actually the same person in essence, so they can see the comic book at the same time. However, because the comic book is unique, it can only be controlled by Hoshikawa and Ming's consciousness.

The four pages of the comic book that were originally blank are now filled with relevant pictures of the dungeon story. The health value in the lower left corner is no longer the pitiful two-digit number at the beginning. Now the stories of the four people are all included in the comic book at the same time. Countless readers like them, directly pushing the health value to a huge number of millions.

Xingchuan and Ming had not paid attention to these specific contents for a while. When they saw the changes in the comic book, they were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly realized:

"No wonder I used the comic book space to control my fate during the last rescue, but it didn't bring me much bad luck. I just became a suspect again when I returned to the main timeline. It turns out that my health points were enough to deduct points, so there was no need to charge interest from my own fate."

Although the other three also had the memory of Xingchuan and Ming controlling the comic book in the copy, it was the first time for them to read the comic book from their own perspective, and they all felt it was a bit novel. Who would have thought that this thing that looked like a translucent screen suspended in the air could actually guide the development direction of the entire comic world and the fate of everyone.

"Are our lives completely controlled by a comic book like this?"

Baifu frowned as he looked at the translucent comic book suspended in front of him, feeling disgusted at being passively controlled by someone.

"Don't worry, now it seems that comic books are just a vehicle. At least for the four of us, I've always been the one who truly controls the direction of the plot."

Xingchuan and Ming comforted calmly, and their calm tone revealed strong confidence.

Bai Fu nodded, and his frown gradually relaxed.

"So, what are your plans next?" Nishihara Tadahiko asked immediately.

Xingchuan Heming did not answer him immediately, but scrolled up the comic book screen to display the comic forum. He randomly picked up a short speech from the previous copy as an example, and the other three were stunned by the screaming speeches in the forum.

[Ahhh, my favorite is Battle Damage! It’s Battle Damage! The frail Baifu-san looks so fragile, and his handsome face is so pale and beautiful. He is really adorable.]

[A battle-damaged Baifu is still a Baifu. He easily subdued the bomber with two moves and turned the tables. I really love him. He is so strong and handsome. I can like the weak boy with a battle-damaged black lotus face, white waist and max force.]

[Has Little Star been so amazing since he was little? He can make the whole winery run around just by writing a script. He is really amazing. What should I do if I love my Little Star even more? 】

[Suddenly I want to see what other comics created by Little Star are like]

[I'm so drunk. It turns out that rescuing the police academy team can be so exciting and wonderful? And the Nishihara brothers are another pair of people who are hard to let go. They worked hard to rescue the police academy team. Who can come to help these brothers in an emergency? ]

[Hahaha, what did I see? It turns out that Xiaozhi has been a naughty child since he was young. Mom really likes him so much. Hahaha, he actually got into a fight with Baifu directly. If Baifu’s brother hadn’t protected you, you would have been dragged out by Baifu to be an experimental subject. Do you know?]

…

No one in the room spoke for a while. Hoshikawa and Akira were already used to the enthusiasm of the forum users, but the other three were so shocked that they didn't know what to say. After a while, it was Kagino Satoshi who reacted first and said angrily:

"Who is being naughty? It's obviously the Baifu family that is so annoying. How can you say that I am naughty? I am obviously the one who knows how to protect myself the most, okay?"

Baifu snorted and said sarcastically with a blank expression:

"And because a hacker intelligence dealer directly leaked your ID address, you were caught by the organization to study the program? Then you are really good at protecting yourself."

The two began to quarrel again in their minds. Nishihara Tadahiko skillfully tried to break them up, while Hoshikawa and Akiza closed the forum and tapped the table with their fingers, drawing everyone's attention back.

"You may have noticed that in the beginning, the focus of the forum was mainly on our interactions with the characters in the original novel. After this period of participation, our identities have been recognized by readers, and the focus has shifted to ourselves. This is a good thing, and it also means that our chances of surviving by likes have greatly increased."

"I like what you said. Could it be that these people in the forum are drooling over us? It's okay that they are greedy, but why do so many people want to be my mother?"

After a long while, Kagino Tomosai asked with a look of doubt on his face.

Baifu was originally sullen, looking at those comments that were drooling over him with displeasure. But after hearing what Jiang Yanzhi said, he immediately forgot the unhappiness in his heart and said sarcastically:

"Why, a little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, won't he throw himself into a wolf's den and be forced to stay up late to finish the program once he leaves his mother's care?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Xingchuan Heming stopped talking and directly continued the discussion:

"In short, if we want to survive in this world after the comic book story ends, we must complete our own story before that."

He glanced at the two people in front of him, then pointedly said:

"It's like compared to the dull daily routine of solving cases, readers prefer to watch you two brothers redeem each other until there is an ending that satisfies them. And at that time, the readers' love for you two will reach the highest level."

Xingchuan and Ming pointed at themselves again and said:

"In the same way, I have now become the target of the winery, so what readers are really looking forward to is how I deal with the winery and finally win, rather than hiding my identity until the end of the story."
