Chapter 50 A Shota

In the pitch-black space, Chijiang Nayue was lying on a slime-shaped couch with her eyes closed, resting.

This is the so-called 'gap of the world'. If you want to leave his world in the normal way, you must pass through here.

Not counting the several times of "smuggling" in between, this was Chijiang Nayue's fourth time coming to this space. The surrounding layout was completely different from the first two times he came.

But he is not shy at all, which can be felt from his current posture.

"Aka, now there is one good news and two bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" The [Book] that had disappeared briefly after pulling the savior in reappeared and said with a little worry.

In the gap space, He can make the sound resound directly in other people's ears without having to transmit it directly in their minds.

Hearing this, Chijiang Nayue still maintained his original posture until [Shu] thought that he was completely unconscious due to the debuff, then he yawned with his eyes closed, not caring about the choice of good or bad news: "It's all right... Let's do it in order."

"The good news is that there is a time difference between different worlds. The virus will break out only after you have been in the mission world for about two months. During this time, I will help suppress it." [Shu] explained, "It will take two more months to eliminate the virus."

"The first bad news is that the virus has not been eradicated for two months, and its symptoms will still slowly manifest in you..."

Chi Jiang Na Yue pinched her knuckles, feeling the changes in her body slowed down countless times after entering the gap space: "For example, will she fall into a coma and eventually be devoured by the virus?"

"Hmm." World Consciousness took a very humane breath. "The original effect of this virus ability is to be used separately on two people. The tiny supernatural creatures in the carrier will devour the host's life after 48 hours. But if one of the two people who are infected with the supernatural power dies at the same time, the other person can survive."

"What about the second bad news?" Chi Jiang Na Yue did not continue the topic. After writing down the information, he turned to ask.

[Book] said distressedly: "Because it is still early in the original mission time, I haven't saved up all the energy to transmit. When I release it later, there may be errors in time or location."

As he spoke, sparse words gradually appeared on the flat page of the "Complete Suicide Notebook" on Akajina's leg.

"This is your information in the next world, which has only progressed to three years before Conan appeared." [Book] introduced it concisely.

Chijiang Nayue glanced at the data, raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "Games that suddenly increase in difficulty after passing the novice level will not last long."

Compared to the simple information I got during my first mission, this one seemed much cleaner, of course, in the literal sense of the word.

Only in the age column were the words "four years old" written in black and white. The name column did not contain his name, but a letter code A.

However, the fact that the data is too clean does not mean that the difficulty is reduced. On the contrary, this will be a setting that is more difficult to complete than a super-scientific creature like the ghost.

Because this represents the world in which he did not even have time to get a name - that is probably a world in which he died as Subject A in the laboratory of Karasuma Renya before his fifth birthday.

Akae Nazuki remembered that he was stolen from Yokohama by Karasuma Renya using the power of book pages two months before his fifth birthday.

After that, he spent a month in the laboratory, living a life worse than death, and was taken abroad by Sharon to live for a month. Finally, he returned to China on his birthday and was "picked up" by Akae Yu at the door of his house.

In other words, the name and identity of Chijiang Nayue only appeared after he was five years old. If he died in the laboratory in that world, he would not only have no name, but he would also be an illegal resident.

This is also why Akae Nazuki complained about the sudden increase in difficulty: How can a five-year-old criminal who died at least twenty years ago convince the elite undercover agent Furuya Rei that he exists and is still alive?

Just as he was thinking about this problem, Chi Jiang Na Yue remembered the debuff he was still carrying.

A good idea suddenly occurred to him.

"I know how to write the characters for the next world." He said solemnly, "But before that, I have to do something else... I remember you said that the transmission time would be wrong?"

Chijiang Nayue stroked his chin and said, "Then, how about dropping me directly to four years before the original scheduled time?"

"Yes, then I have enough energy. I can gather the energy for the second investment after I get there." [Shu] suddenly realized, "So, you want to go to the 'past' of that world to pave the way for your future appearance?"

"Bingo~" The savior clapped his hands with a smile, "You guessed it right, but it's a pity there is no reward. Let's get to work."

Going to that time point is not only to prepare for the role later, Akae Nazuki also has other purposes. The setting that there is no ghost in that world is a bad thing, but there is also a good side. For example, since the original release time is three years before Conan appeared, Morobushi Kagemitsu and the other two have not died yet, and the only one who needs to be brought back by Akae Nazuki is Hagiwara Kenji.

Isn't this simple?

"Don't worry about the four-year-old setting for now, pinch the other one." Chi Jiang Na Yue slowly revealed a cold smile, "It doesn't hurt much when a child hits someone."

—

Kenji Hagiwara half-knelt in front of the half-disassembled bomb, a cigarette between his fingers.

He is still on the mission, but for the safety of the people, he needs to evacuate all residents in this apartment building before he can start defusing the bomb again.

Although Hagiwara Kenji just graduated from the police academy a month ago and is only a rookie who has been on the job for a little over a month, both he and his childhood friend were appointed as the leaders of their respective bomb disposal teams because of their excellent abilities and their status as quasi-professionals who passed the second-category civil service examination.

Kenji Hagiwara didn't care about the level of his position, but to be honest, it was thanks to his title of team leader that he, a newcomer, was able to take charge of the main task of bomb disposal.

Otherwise, it would be safer, but you might just have to sit on the bench for a few years to gain experience.

The young man with semi-long hair puffed out another puff of snow-white smoke, his violet eyes half-hidden behind his drooping hair. The sparks at the tip of his cigarette butt flickered continuously as he breathed, slightly illuminating half of his face in the shadow of the wall.

He seemed to be lost in thought, not even noticing the sparks that nearly burned his knuckles.

At this moment, a pale hand suddenly stretched out from the upper right of Hagiwara Kenji, and with a clear purpose, it put out the cigarette that had been forgotten by its owner.

"CASTER? I didn't expect the police officer likes this brand." The man still maintained the posture of leaning over and stretching out his hand, and said thoughtfully.

Hagiwara Kenji reflexively grabbed his wrist, then was startled by the touch and almost let go.

So cold! An impolite metaphor flashed through his mind.

Like a corpse.

The next second, Kenji Hagiwara reacted and raised his head.

The first thing he saw was a face that could be called beautiful, but the pale lips and dull red eyes made the face look even more morbid, and he couldn't help but worry.

The pair of eyes blinked in his sight, and then the other party pulled out his wrist and took a step back, leaving Hagiwara Kenji enough time to stand up.

Before the latter had time to think about what was wrong with this man's image, he suddenly remembered that this was a bomb disposal site and this stranger should not be here!

Wait, where are the other police officers?

Hagiwara Kenji looked down and found that the others had fallen to the ground without anyone noticing. Instantly, his whole body tensed up and his eyes turned serious towards the intruders: "Wait a minute, who are you? Did you knock them out?"

The black-haired intruder, who looked young, had a calm expression and didn't seem to be frightened at all by Hagiwara Kenji's attitude.

"Nice to meet you, Officer." After a moment's thought, he introduced himself in a serious tone, "You can call me Granty."

As if he thought that introducing the names was enough, Granty's voice had returned to normal when he spoke again: "I didn't knock them out."

Before Hagiwara Kenji could relax his guard, he heard the man who called himself Granty add, "I injected him with an anesthetic."

…

He was speechless for a moment: Is there any difference between the two?

"You..." Just as Kenji Hagiwara started to speak, a cell phone on the ground not far away suddenly rang.

Granty stood there motionless, nodding politely at him: "Don't you want to answer it?"

Kenji Hagiwara's vigilance would not allow him to be distracted and answer the phone in the middle of a call, but seeing him like this, Granti actually leaned over and picked up the phone, pressing the answer and speaker buttons.

"Hagi? What are you doing? Why haven't you dismantled the bomb yet?" Matsuda Jinpei's voice came from the receiver. "I have already solved everything on my end."

Oops, it's a small formation.

Hagiwara Kenji was completely confused. He really couldn't guess the identity of this Granti. After all, looking at the calm look on his face when facing him, it didn't seem like the courage that an ordinary criminal would have.

Therefore, Hagiwara Kenji didn't know how to reply to the question that Xiao Xunran asked on the phone for a moment.

"hagi?" the other side called again.

At this moment, Granty spoke, his accent had a special rhythm that made it very recognizable: "Hello, this officer, Mr. Hagi is just preparing to defuse the bomb."

In order to distinguish him from the "police officer" mentioned by Jinpei Matsuda, Granty used the nickname that the other party used to call Kenji Hagiwara.

"…Who are you?" Matsuda Jinpei's voice sounded alertly. "You can call me Granty." The intruder introduced himself again, "I'm just an insignificant passerby."

"Passing by a building filled with bombs?" Kenji Hagiwara couldn't help but complain.

After a moment's hesitation, Granty explained the reason to Matsuda Jinpei: "To be precise, I was about to go down, but when I passed by this floor, I happened to see Mr. Hagi smoking next to the bomb. I stayed to stop him from doing so."

Hagiwara Kenji: …

Hagiwara Kenji's expression suddenly turned into one of horror: "It's not a small formation, let me explain--"

'Pop'

Jinpei Matsuda on the other end hung up the phone without saying a word.

It’s over!

The culprit, Granty, still had the same calm expression as when he first appeared. Hagiwara Kenji could even see some innocence in him: "What?"

Officer Hagiwara, who had been tricked, covered his face with one hand. He could already foresee that he would be beaten up by his friends in the future. He calmed himself down, looked at Granti seriously again, and just opened his mouth: "So you..."

History repeated itself, and this time he was interrupted again.

What interrupted him was the change of expression on Granti's face and the opponent's rush towards him.

Kenji Hagiwara's eyes flashed for a moment, and when he looked again, he saw that Granty had actually picked up the half-disassembled bomb and ran out into the corridor.

His expression changed now: "Wait, what are you going to do!"

The other party ignored him and pulled out a black gun from somewhere, fired several shots at the French window in the corridor, then kicked the cracked glass into pieces and threw the bomb out.

Then, the bomb in mid-air exploded.

Kenji Hagiwara almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. When he managed to steady himself and looked up, the strange man had disappeared.

If the glass window in the corridor had not been broken, Kenji Hagiwara would have suspected that it was just an illusion.

Then, after the shocked and angry Matsuda Jinpei rushed up and punched him hard, Hagiwara Kenji covered his face and confirmed again that this was reality.

The small array in the dream didn't hurt that much when it hit people.
