Then go wander around the city with a five-star wanted notice.
That's when I feel safer.
"So, is there any news from Silver Fox?" Lin Che asked, holding the box in one hand and taking out his phone with the other.
If you don't look at people, Kenichi Aono's middle-aged voice actually has a certain charm.
"Hey, Silver Fox told us to turn right after we leave the station."
"The contact was wearing a white hoodie and a red baseball cap. He was young and strong, about 1.8 meters tall."
As soon as he finished speaking, a short "beep" sound made Kenichi Aono pause for a moment.
"Tch," he spat to the side, "Brother, don't blame me for being disloyal. The Mud Ginseng Society has specifically named you to kill, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Kenichi Aono looked to his side and asked, "So why did you kill him?"
Beside him, a man in black stood indifferently.
"He took something he shouldn't have." The man in black was dressed almost entirely in black from head to toe, and a gun was clearly visible in the inner pocket of his jacket.
Guns are not something you see easily in normal times, as they are subject to relatively strict regulations.
At that moment, the man in black suddenly lowered his gaze towards Kenichi Aono:
"Some things, even if you only touch them and don't even know what they are, you can pay with your life for the sake of touching them."
Kenichi Aono was suddenly enveloped by a chilling killing intent, and his fingers froze completely.
"...Yes, I understand."
Otogawa Station.
Lin Che did not leave the station immediately, but couldn't help but shift his gaze to the side—where Conan, Ai Haibara, and the three familiar little ones were standing.
On the way, he was still wondering what his current mission had to do with Conan.
As a result, we've now seen Conan himself.
Strictly speaking, he and Conan were on the same subway train, just in different carriages.
In principle, the main quest is the most important.
But as a hardcore gamer who can't shake his gaming instincts, Lin Che was genuinely captivated by the question mark above Conan's head.
If I don't go to the main quest locations for now, those NPCs should be waiting for me.
Right?
Lin Che was still wondering, but his feet had already moved toward Conan involuntarily.
at the same time.
Ai Haibara, who was silently observing from the sidelines among the elementary school students and pondering how to gain the upper hand by intimidating Conan, suddenly noticed a familiar figure approaching her.
Lift your eyes.
Haibara Ai:?
Why are you here?
Lin Che approached with a friendly expression, his eyes filled with longing for the mission and rewards.
He extended his hand to Conan. "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
Chapter 5: Who plays the game as the main storyline?
Conan was taken aback by Lin Che's question.
He looked up and frowned, wondering if he really looked like a lost child who needed help.
Moreover, this was the first time he had ever heard such words from someone else.
However, before Conan could say anything, Ai Haibara, who was addicted to silence, rushed to Lin Che's side.
Her cold, icy blue eyes were full of threat, yet her tone was quite eager:
"Big brother, what are you doing here?"
Ai Haibara never expected Lin Che to suddenly appear.
She hasn't told Conan yet that she lives in Professor Agasa's house, and she plans to use a "prank" to make Conan realize the terror of the organization and thereby gain some influence.
If Lin Che were to expose her, all her preparations would be for nothing!
Absolutely!
After saying that, she simply reached out and pushed Lin Che away.
Lin Che didn't resist. After glancing at Ai Haibara, he understood her thoughts.
More importantly, the gray question mark next to Ai Haibara's name has now turned red.
It's different from the golden color on Conan's head.
The two walked far away amidst the puzzled gazes of Conan and the three children.
"Is this someone Haibara-san knows?"
"He's probably some kind of older brother..."
"I wonder if we could ask him to treat us to eel rice."
Conan glanced at the three little ones speechlessly, but he already had a general idea in his mind.
First of all, Lin Che was definitely coming for him, not Ai Haibara.
The reason is simple: if the other person wants to say hello for the sake of getting to know each other, they should start a conversation with Ai Haibara first.
And it seems that it is indeed true that Ai Haibara knows this young man.
Combining the two pieces of information, along with the other party's strange "opening remarks," Conan felt that Ai Haibara might not be so simple.
And this young man, his problem is even more enormous.
Conan's eyes had already become wary.
the other side.
Seeing that the distance between them was sufficient, Ai Haibara stared at Lin Che and asked, "How did you end up here?"
Lin Che thought for a moment and then told the truth, "I just happened to run into them."
"Then what are you holding in your hand, stolen goods?" Ai Haibara seemed to have had her character art updated, with her arms crossed and a cold expression, looking every bit the aloof little loli.
All I can say is that you're still very good at guessing.
Lin Che offered no explanation, simply stating, "I have no obligation to explain anything to you, as for you..."
He added with a hint of slyness, "You rushed me here because you're afraid I'll reveal some information, right?"
"For example, you just went to Professor Agasa's house last night, and your true identity is actually..."
Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara's facial muscles visibly tensed up.
"She was an exceptionally rebellious young girl from a poor family, the kind who was extremely disobedient."
Ai Haibara: "......"
Fortunately, the other party did not say something like "You are Sulli".
but.
What the heck is this "Delinquent Girl from a Bad Family" thing?!
Ai Haibara bit her lip, preparing to retort.
However, Lin Che suddenly leaned down and lowered his voice, "You don't want me to tell those kids what I just mentioned, do you?"
Ai Haibara's eyes instantly cleared.
She was truly at their mercy this time.
"Then what do you want?" The little girl turned her head away.
"Hehehe, of course it is..."
"...What is it?" The little girl couldn't help but take two steps back.
"It's nothing, just be nicer to me in the future." Lin Che suddenly became serious.
Ai Haibara was quite surprised.
Looking back, her attitude towards Lin Che was indeed very bad.
There are two main reasons.
First, in her view, Lin Che was a delinquent youth, and their first meeting seemed like he had just come from the front lines of a gang fight.
Out of her aversion to the organization, she also disliked people with similar backgrounds.
Second, she wanted to get rid of Lin Che as quickly as possible in the worst possible way, so that he would not be implicated because of her and killed by the organization members who came to investigate.
I was clearly thinking of you, okay?
Ai Haibara suddenly felt a little wronged. "I understand. Can you leave now?"
Lin Che shook his head instantly, "Why would I leave? I haven't finished my business yet."
"Serious business?" Ai Haibara asked, puzzled, glancing back at Conan. "You know Edogawa-kun?"
Lin Che shrugged: "Mind your own business."
[Ai Haibara (?): Affection level increased by 2 points, currently 2 (maximum value 100).]
There's a favorability system?
And this can actually increase favorability?
So, this little girl likes this kind of thing?
"Hey, Haibara-san, we're leaving now, do you want to come along?!"
At that moment, Ayumi suddenly waved loudly in their direction.
Ai Haibara's mind worked quickly. "You're really going to stick with Edogawa-kun today, aren't you?"
Lin Che nodded. "That's how it is for now."
"Then can you do me a favor?"
[Shadow Cosplay: Ai Haibara hopes you can do her a favor, will you accept?]
Lin Che's eyes lit up. "Okay."
Ai Haibara quickly recited the words, then turned and ran towards Conan and the others.
Although Lin Che didn't hear it clearly, the task system had a clear description.
[Shadow COS: Ai Haibara hopes you can find some time later to help her dress up as a strange person dressed entirely in black and act according to her requests.]
Task Rewards: 100 experience points, +5 favorability, title "The Attention of a Genius Girl"
For beginner-level tasks, the small rewards are perfectly acceptable.
Needless to say, favorability is very important, and the title is probably a good thing too. 100 experience points alone are enough for him to level up to level 2.
After reviewing the mission, Lin Che once again walked towards Conan.
Having failed to trigger the mission earlier, and reflecting on his experience of accepting the mission from Ai Haibara, he felt he should have more conversations with Conan.
Surprisingly, Conan actually smiled this time:
"We do have something that needs to be dealt with, and it might be easier with the help of an adult. Would you be willing to help us?"
[Kidnapping Case: The Junior Detective League is hired to investigate the secret behind the sudden disappearance of their classmate's older brother.]
Conan has a preliminary idea and is continuing to investigate. He believes that things may not be so simple and may be fraught with great danger. He thinks it might be better if an adult could help, so he hopes you can provide assistance.
Whether to accept? 】
accept!
The golden-colored mission doesn't seem simple at all.
"Okay, then big brother, you'll come with us!"
