Chapter 10 The First Player

Xi Haiqing Dou asked: [How is the progress of Wen Ye World and Fusion? ]

The system was surprised: [The fusion has been accelerated... At this rate, it should be completely integrated in about half a year. Host, is this also within your control? ]

[Of course not... I'm not a god, how can I control everything? ]

Xihai Qingdou was speechless. If he had that ability, he would not have almost fallen because of the players' unexpected performances.

[It's just because of the special nature of the "player" that I have some ideas. The main reason is that the "protagonist halo" of this player is strong enough to break through the limitations of the world and enable characters that do not belong to the same work to achieve "cross-series linkage." ]

Although the fusion of the two worlds can be accelerated as long as the characters from the Conan studio come to "Yokohama" and come into contact with the relevant forces of the Bunno studio, this speed is far less than the meeting of the characters from the two worlds.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations between the worlds, before the fusion is completed, the characters in Fumino's plot and the characters related to Conan's plot will never meet each other. This time, the reason why Furuya Rei, Morofushi Kagemitsu and he were able to "see" Morio was entirely because of Asahina Kazuma's buff.

[Oh...] The system voice was frustrated, [But although the fusion has been accelerated, the player has come into contact with Moriguwai. Will it ruin the plot on Wenye's side?]

[It won't collapse so easily.] Xi Haiqing Dou thought for a moment and said calmly, [Just finish this mission as soon as possible. Mori Ougai has not yet taken the position, and he is restricted by his status. As long as we try to avoid his contact with players in the future, there shouldn't be any major changes.

And have you forgotten? "Mochizuki Kaoru" is also here in Yokohama. At worst, we can just take him out for a walk and that should solve the problem. 】

System: [That’s right… Because you rarely use that vest recently, I almost forgot about it.]

After coming to this world for so many years, Xi Haiqing Dou naturally has more than one alias, and "Mochizuki Kaoru" is one of them.

It's just that opening multiple aliases is quite energy-consuming, so Xi Haiqing Dou usually sets up the actions of "Mochizuki Kaoru" relatively simple. Recently, his main focus is still on "Cointreau".

Saikai Haruto: [It’s because things are relatively peaceful here in Bunno, but there are still “players” and plot characters in “Cointreau”, so I can only focus most of my energy on “Cointreau”... and your broken forum hasn’t been fixed yet.]

[Host, I forgot to tell you before, the forum is about to be repaired.] The system's electronic voice could hardly hide the joy, [It will be able to be opened and used normally again after a few more rounds of testing.]

[Really? This is really rare good news.] Xi Haiqing Dou laughed.

Downstairs, Asahina Kazuma was saying goodbye to Mori Ogai.

"Is Asahina-kun from Kyoto?" Mori Ouwai walked out the door holding Alice's hand, his eyes full of curiosity. "Because I have lived in Kyoto for a period of time, and I feel that Asahina-kun's accent seems to be a bit similar to that of Kyoto."

"I'm from Tokyo. Maybe it's because I stayed in Kyoto for a few months before, so I have a bit of Kyoto accent. Oh, by the way, Mr. Mori, do you really not need me to take you? It's already late, isn't it?"

Asahina Kazuma laughed and quickly changed the subject. Although he was indeed from Kyoto, the "Asahina Kazuma" pseudonym was indeed 100% Tokyo, and he was actually careful to conceal this fact... I didn't expect Mori Ogai to be able to discover this, he was indeed a highly intelligent person in Wenye.

Has no one told this Asahina-kun that he really can't lie? He simply writes all his emotions and thoughts on his face. Mori Ogai smiled and said, "So that's how it is."

He followed what Asahina Kazuma said and changed the subject, "Don't worry, Asahina-kun. I'm a private doctor. My current patient is very kind and easy to talk to. He gave me a holiday in the second half of the day, so you don't have to worry about being late."

Asahina Kazuma scratched her head and said, "I see... As long as it doesn't interfere with Mr. Mori's work, it's fine."

He tried hard not to show a strange expression - hold it back, it's just that Mori Owl was praising the old leader's good character, what's so strange about that!

"Alas, I came here to express my gratitude, but it is my fault that Asahina-kun is worried."

As if he really didn't notice his abnormality, Mori Ogai spoke naturally, and with a smile handed over the business card he had given to Saikai Haruto before, "Here is my contact information. If Asahina-kun is still in Yokohama in the future, please try to contact me if you have any questions. I will definitely do my best to help."

"Is that so? I..."

"——Asahina, Jundu wants to see you."

Morobushi Kagemitsu's voice came from behind, interrupting him before he could finish his words. Asahina Kazuma turned around and saw that he seemed to have just run over, and even his breathing was a little unstable.

"Ah? I understand. I'll be there right away!" Asahina Kazuma replied dejectedly.

What a pity, he wanted to chat with Mori Ougai more... This is the future leader of the Hong Kong underworld!

Alice smiled and waved to Asahina Kazuma, "Goodbye Asahina-kun, remember to come visit Alice next time, there are many attractions in Yokohama! If you need anything, just look for the useless Rintaro!"

Asahina Kazuma imitated Jundu and ruffled Alice's hair, smiling brightly: "Okay, Mr. Mori and Alice, don't worry, I will go when I have time!"

The time should be set after the Fumino plot officially starts in a few years, right? Anyway, he probably doesn't want to come again before the Fumino plot starts. Asahina and Shinko thought, maybe he can get a chance to see Kurosai and Nakahara Chuuya outside Morigu? I don't know if this business card can still be used by then.

Looking at the backs of Mori Ouwai and Alice going away, Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned and looked worried: "Canada, what did you talk about with that doctor Mori just now?"

"He didn't say anything...Mr. Mori just gave me a business card and told me I could ask him for help in the future."

Asahina Kazuma said this, and looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu strangely: "Scott, didn't you say that Cointreau had something to ask me? Why did you stop now? What is it?"

"Jun Du is fine, I just made up an excuse." Zhu Fu Jingguang said helplessly, "Canada... don't spend too much time with that doctor Mori, don't you notice that something is wrong with him?"

Asahina Kazuma was surprised: "What, you found out too?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang pondered: "... Bourbon also told you the same thing yesterday?"

"Yeah, he always felt that there was something strange about Mr. Mori and asked me to have less contact with him. But I think you are just thinking too much. It was an accident that I met Mr. Mori last night, and I saved him. He doesn't know our identities, so nothing should happen." Asahina Kazuma said with a carefree look on his face.

"No matter what, it's better to be cautious. Fortunately, we will leave Yokohama after this mission is over, and there will probably be no chance for us to meet again." Morobushi Jingguang frowned and hid his worries deep in his heart. He should wait for Zero to come back and talk to him about this matter.

Although they are friends from the same period, he and Asahina Kazuma don't spend much time together. Among them, Asahina Kazuma is closest to Furuya Rei, and his relationship with the others can only be considered good.

Asahina Kazuma has a straightforward personality, and Morofushi Kagemitsu sometimes thinks that she is not particularly suitable to be an undercover agent... This time, Mr. Mori is obviously not an ordinary person. He can even find out the hotel they are in based on some simple information. He also has a distinctly dark aura.

Morofushi Kagemitsu was worried about what kind of relationship and impact it might have on this mission...but judging from Asahina Kazuma's performance, he obviously didn't think about this aspect.

"Yeah, it's a pity that the mission will be over in a few days." Asahina Kazuma said sadly.

The next time we meet, maybe Mr. Mori will have become the leader of Hong Kong gangs?

On the other side————

The sun was shining brightly and the streets were bustling with people. Mori Ougai had one hand in the pocket of his white coat and was holding Alice's hand with the other, walking on the street like an ordinary father and daughter, strolling and chatting leisurely.

"Alice-chan, do you like Asahina-kun?" Mori Ogai asked with a smile.

"Hmph, you bad bastard Rintaro, it's obviously Rintaro himself who is interested in Asahina, I don't like him!" Alice turned her head and puffed up her cheeks, with a look of resistance and disgust.

Asahina Kazuma looked at her as if she were an accessory of Mori Ogai, with curiosity, surprise, and inexplicable certainty, as if he knew that she was a special ability of Mori Ogai. Alice didn't like him very much.

"Oh, because Asahina-kun is really interesting. Alice-chan, don't be angry, how about I buy you a pretty little skirt~ There are a lot of new styles recently~" The smile in Mori Ogai's eyes deepened, and his smile was rippling, attracting passers-by who couldn't help but cast puzzled glances at him.

Alice protested loudly: "It was you, Rintaro, who wanted to buy it. I don't want it! Otherwise, why don't you go and tie Asahina to the operating table?" There was a desire in her eyes.

"That won't do. Asahina-kun is not an ordinary person. If you act rashly against him, you will be exposed and fail. Alice-chan, you'd better be patient for now... maybe there will be a chance in the future." Mori Ogai said regretfully.

Asahina Kazuma's performance today made him confirm one thing - he did know him.

A member of an organization that had just arrived in Yokohama knew him so well and had such a strange attitude, as if he knew a lot of things... It was hard for Mori Ogai not to think too much.

What's even more strange is that although there are many obvious doubts about Asahina Kazuma, he still has a good impression of her and is very relaxed in front of her - this is very rare for Mori Ogai.

Is he a person with special abilities who was left behind or is this his unique ability? Mori Ogai is really curious.

Unfortunately, the "Coindo" next to Asahina Kazuma and the "Amuro-kun" from yesterday did not seem to be as easy to fool as Asahina Kazuma, and the forces behind them also seemed extraordinary. Mori Ogai could only regretfully dismiss any unnecessary thoughts for the time being.

“So it’s because Rintaro is so incompetent!” Alice stamped her feet angrily, “Rintaro is such a useless guy!”

"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault. Please don't be angry, Alice-chan..."
