Chapter 411
"Well, you now have two choices."
While Conan Edogawa was being tested by Holmes and Moriarty in the basement of the office, the first group of five people who had left Antarctica and had just completed a mission as a formality were sitting in the fast food cafe run by the Emiya family, thinking about their future whereabouts.
The Chaldeans gave them two choices:
1. Return to Chaldea, as if they had never left Chaldea;
2. Stay outside Chaldea, but disguise yourself as someone else.
The former CIA spy was familiar with disguising himself as someone else and completely abandoning his past network of connections, but the four young Japanese police officers obviously needed to think for a while before making a decision - however, the people of Chaldea did not leave them much time to think.
Therefore, Morobushi Kagemitsu, the only one who had undercover experience, chose to help his peers who did not know much about Chaldea to confirm some details.
Morobushi Kagemitsu pulled his colleagues to change positions, and then took a bag of gem fragments from Emiya.
"The scraps in the hands of the gem magicians should be enough for you." Emiya placed a cloth bag in Morobushi Kagemitsu's hand with familiarity, and reminded him, "The Master will only wait for you until midnight, so it's better to make a decision as soon as possible - after all, whether you choose to go back or not, you will have to go back to Antarctica in the end."
"I know." Zhu Fu Jingguang poured out the gem fragments and used magic to separate the corner where the few people were from the others. "Leave this to me."
On the other hand, Conan Edogawa had just left Sherlock Holmes' office - after sending Haibara Ai back to Dr. Agasa's home, he went straight to Haido Central Hospital to look for clues.
After all, even if they had a good talk in the basement and reached a consensus on cooperation in fighting the Black Organization - but based on the hint that MI6 is equal to Moriarty, Edogawa Conan had to force himself to know more intelligence to prevent a certain mathematics professor from unknowingly becoming an enemy he needs to fight.
"The first task to become a savior and a hero is to stay alive - not only yourself, but also your companions - little detective."
Conan Edogawa thought about the hints Watson gave him based on the examples in the script and walked into the Haido Central Hospital.
After confirming that Conan Edogawa had completely left, William, who stayed in the office, cleared his throat, turned on the voice-changing software in his phone, and made a call in front of everyone.
"I'm disappointed in you, Gin."
That night, the members of Chaldea in 2015 held a video conference after a long absence.
"The backgrounds for those fake identities haven't been done yet, right, Professor William?" Fujimaru Ritsuka sat at the dining table and confirmed with William on the screen in front of him, "The first five people who left Chaldea all chose to stay outside - can they produce personal experiences that meet the average level of Chaldea employees?"
"After all, Chaldea is preparing to open."
"The previously preset identities and backgrounds were prepared according to the standards of ordinary Chaldean employees." William leaned against the window and answered Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile, "Have you thought about where to place the five of them?"
"I haven't decided yet, but I'm going to call another group of people out from Chaldea." Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked and looked at the light on the ceiling. "After they leave, Mr. Emiya's fast food restaurant will be officially open, and we need more staff - and, it would be better to let the former CIA spy act alone, right?"
"I thought so at first, but then I thought we should have at least one magician by our side." Kiritsugu Emiya asked the people who attended the meeting, "Do you have any good proposals?"
"Don't even think about our office." Holmes shook his head. "Edogawa Conan has already completed the first phase of the test. The nature of the office has become an MI6 base. If you come to our place, he will notice you very quickly..."
"Let me ask Pepe." Kirshtalia flipped through her address book and suggested to everyone, "I remember Pepe is traveling, so we can leave Ethan Hondo to him - what about the other four? We won't let Morobu Jingguang, who has already deeply penetrated the magic world, contact the outside world casually, but isn't he from the same period as those three?"
"Murofushi Kagemitsu has expanded the knowledge of magic for the other three." Emiya joined the meeting, "So my opinion is to keep them here - I think there should be some vacancies for them here, Master?"
"You'll have to ask the deputy director and Director Marisbury." Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed, "They are the teachers who are responsible for making decisions."
"Astronomy and history, let them choose for themselves." Lansemero walked into the restaurant and joined the meeting through Fujimaru Ritsuka's communicator. He opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of carbonated drink. "I don't mind activating the two spiritual bases collected in the first world in advance. Anyway, William is in charge of the mission. We will never be dragged into the red and black confrontation without knowing it."
"That's the situation outside for now... Who does the Master want to come here next?" After the meeting discussion came to a temporary end, the servants who had lived in the outside world for some time asked their master.
"It's not a mission-related arrangement." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled at them, "I just think that Mr. Emiya's fast food cafe needs to add some reliable employees - after all, if there are ordinary people as employees, it would be more troublesome than having ordinary customers appear in the store, right?"
"They are just the few people in the cafeteria who are still in Chaldea and look like normal people."
After arranging the personnel changes, the people of Chaldea spent a fairly peaceful daily life - if you ignore the Holmes' records of Conan Edogawa's daily movements in the chat room, and William's regular updates on the Black Organization's action plans, this period of time can indeed be called peaceful enough.
"William: Beika Town is about to become a high-risk area - please be careful about the details of your daily life and do not accidentally enter the scene of an organization-related incident."
"Dion: According to the previous report, the FBI faked his death and the CIA returned to the organization, but some people in the organization don't believe that the FBI is dead - so from now on, all the places where the FBI appeared before are high-risk areas, and everyone's map has been marked in red. I will update Bourbon's movement in real time, please pay attention to avoid it. "
"Bond: Why are you here too?"
"Dion: I was originally going back to France - but the incident of us invading the FBI headquarters was brought up again. Because you ran too fast, Gin gave me the task of confirming the life and death of that FBI - to be more precise, to supervise Bourbon."
"Bond: Hey, William has already prepared a script for you, so don't be so angry."
"Dion: I'll settle the score with you when I get to Beika Town. You can tell at a glance that this disgusting script was prepared by you. William would never prepare such a disgusting plot."
"Fujimaru Ritsuka: Well, that means that the entire Beika Town is within the range of Bourbon's exploration, right? Then I'll ask the deputy director and Director Marisbury if they want to go on vacation in Hokkaido - I won't participate in this incident, and I'll trouble you all for the rest of the work."
A doll-like blond girl pressed down her beret and walked out of the station carrying a canvas bag. Before that, a black-haired man with burn scars on his face also passed through the exit gate of the station.
"Excuse me, is this the Mori Detective Agency?" The blond girl, speaking French, opened the door of the agency and used the translation software on her phone to tell the detective waiting for commissions what she wanted. "Mr. Mori, I hope you can help me find my missing brother."
Conan Edogawa, who thought this was just an ordinary missing person commission and was about to sneak out to find the Sherlock Holmes, stopped stiffly the moment he saw the photo the blonde girl took out, and turned his head to look at the blonde girl sitting on the sofa with a smile on her face.
——The photo that the client produced this time was a photo of Shuichi Akai, who was killed by Kiel not long ago.
The client didn't seem to speak Japanese, but with the help of the translation software in her mobile phone, she was able to talk to Kogoro Mori smoothly.
"Huh? But you and this brother don't look alike at all, sister?" Edogawa Conan tilted his head and looked at the blonde girl, using the translation software on his phone to translate his Japanese into French, "Are you really a family?"
"You little brat, don't interrupt when adults are talking!" Maori Kogoro tapped Edogawa Conan on the head and handed the boy to his daughter, "Lan, take Conan to the side for a while - I'm busy confirming the situation with the client."
"It's okay." The blonde girl nodded to Conan Edogawa in accordance with the voice in the translation software, and raised a gentle smile, "Many people have this problem when looking at photos - come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself to you yet. Nice to meet you, I'm Leah Margaret, and I'm happy to meet you."
"The person in the photo is indeed my brother," the girl who called herself "Liya" explained to the group. "But because our parents divorced when we were very young, I could only see photos of my brother for many years. Our father is British and our mother is French - they divorced when we were quite young because they couldn't stand each other at all."
"My brother went to England with my father, and my mother and I stayed in France. My brother looks more like my father and nothing like my mother. My brother and I are completely opposite." Leah smiled at Maori Kogoro and typed a new sentence into the translation software. "I guess some of you will be curious about why my parents got married."
"Indeed, if you got divorced because you couldn't stand each other at all...then why did you get married before?" Following the voice of the translation software, Maori Ran, who was subconsciously confused and asked the question, covered her mouth embarrassedly, but Maori Kogoro said nothing, but just relayed his daughter's question to Leah using the translation software.
"French people are always easily overwhelmed by love." Leah smiled shyly, but her eyes secretly fell on Conan Edogawa, "I fell in love with a British man, so I suddenly wanted to meet my brother - and the last time he contacted me, he mentioned that he was in Beika Town."
