Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi shook the two photos in his hand and looked at Sakurai Izumi with a serious expression: "Want to bet?"

They both understood each other's eyes.

Let’s gamble!

The first upgrade requires 65 singularity points, and the second requires 650 singularity points.

The two photos consumed a total of 1430 singularity points.

In the photo of the woman holding the baby, the time was extended from three seconds to nine seconds.

The woman is sitting on the bed with a baby in her arms, her expression numb. A pistol suddenly appears in the picture from the corner, held by a man's hand.

Judging from the movement of this hand, the man with the gun seemed to be pointing and saying something. The woman first showed a forced smile, and then under the threat of the gun, she finally adjusted to a softer expression.

The photo of the baby girl lying on the bed also showed a nine-second time regression after the second upgrade.

A woman in a nurse's uniform appears briefly in the photo, and appears to be holding another baby in her arms.

At the end of the nine seconds, the video happened to capture the moment when a female nurse appeared holding another child. The nurse's face was completely invisible. One could only judge from the exposed part of her body and her hands that she was definitely not young anymore.

As for the other child, only a small piece of swaddling clothes was seen.

It's not that I don't want to continue, it's that I really can't afford it.

The third upgrade requires 6500 singularity points, but there are less than left in the storage pool.

"Tsk, damn it! If only I could see her face!"

Koizumi waved his fist unwillingly, then consoled himself: "But at least I know there must be some information hidden behind this photo. I will upgrade it again after collecting enough singularities. Really, there are never enough singularities!"

Izumi Sakurai did not respond.

Koizumi turned around and saw Sakurai staring at the photo with a strange expression.

"Sakurai? What did you find?"

"I... I seem to remember something. This person... this hand, gives me a very familiar feeling. She, she is..."

Sakurai Izumi squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, falling into a state of confusion again. No matter how Koizumi called him, he could not come back to his senses.

Helplessly, Koizumi could only let her be like this and temporarily leave the system space.

------

Two days later.

After receiving the tip-off from Zhufu Jingguang, Koizumi slammed his head on the table, buried his head in documents, and could not lift it up for a long time.

This time, it was her turn to be killed...

Her ambiguous practice with "Moruofushi Keiko" was not only seen by Gin, but also by Moruofushi Keiko himself!

Although what Sakurai said was right, this approach did eliminate Gin's suspicion, but...

Oh my god, how can she face people in the future? She might as well just die!

Koizumi returned to the system space in a second, and as soon as he came in, he heard Sakurai laughing wildly.

"Hahahaha!"

Xiaoquan rushed over and strangled her neck: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault! Ahhhh I won't live any longer!"

Sakurai Izumi let her hit and beat him and continued laughing.

Well, we are all souls anyway, so it won’t hurt no matter what happens.

Koizumi squatted on the ground holding his head and yelled, "I quit! You go deal with him!"

As he said that, he threw Sakurai into his body.

Sakurai Izumi replied to the email to Morobushi Keimitsu according to Koizumi's daily speaking habits, and once again put his body into a serious working posture before returning to the system space.

"Hey, is it okay to send the email this way?"

"But...I don't care!"

Sakurai Izumi chuckled and came over to poke her head: "I think Zhufu is also okay, how about him?"

Seeing that Koizumi was ignoring her with a pout, Sakurai Izumi sat down next to her and said with a smile, "Actually, those four are all good. To be honest, they are the most suitable candidates to be boyfriends. Hagiwara and Morobushi are gentle and considerate. Although Furuya and Matsuda are a bit stubborn, they get along well with you, don't they? Especially Matsuda, don't you think he is actually very cute? His reaction after he knew your true identity, Kuro-chan, really made me laugh to death!"

Sakurai pushed her again: "Tell me what you like, which one do you like? I'll give you some advice. Or, you don't really like gin, do you?"

Koizumi's face flushed as he looked up and glared at her: "No one can do that!"

"Eh? Don't you think you no longer have any symptoms of male phobia towards them? Or is it still not working?"

The expression on Koizumi's face gradually faded.

She sat with her head down for a long time before she whispered, "No... I must go back. If I'm really tempted, tell me what to do when I leave?"

Sakurai Izumi couldn't laugh anymore.

She sat there in silence for a while, then reached out and touched Koizumi's head, forcing a smile and saying, "Then Fujiwara Yuto is the only option left. Hehe, don't worry, leave it to me. I will be a good boyfriend for you."

Koizumi glared: "Tell me first what to do about this matter!"

"Just serve it cold."

Sakurai Izumi spread his hands: "If you don't mention it, how can he come to your door and ask you to take responsibility? And he knows the real situation very well, right? Since he didn't mention it in the email just now, it means he won't mention it again in the future. As long as you are thick-skinned enough, this matter will be over."

Seeing that Koizumi was still furious, she continued with a smile, "And don't forget, you will still have to flirt with the puppet at the recruitment meeting, and he will definitely be there. Wouldn't it be good to let him be mentally prepared in advance?"

Koizumi was completely speechless, and sulked for a while before muttering, "...Okay, this is the only way."

He raised his head and glared again, "What about the photo? Do you remember anything? Why don't you mention it?"

Sakurai Izumi said confidently: "No, if I had thought of it, I would have told you. I always feel like there's something missing, but I just can't figure it out."

"Then if I upgrade once more and see that woman's face clearly, I'll be able to remember it?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Then upgrade now!"

"Eh?" Sakurai Izumi was surprised. "Use the red team's reward to upgrade? It would be more cost-effective to use it on the level 3 to level 4. Wouldn't it be a waste to upgrade from level 2 to level 3? Are you sure you want to use it on this photo?"

"Ah."

Koizumi nodded affirmatively: "My intuition tells me that the sooner this happens, the better."

Sakurai Izumi stared at Koizumi for a moment, and when he was sure she was serious, he waved and put the photo of the baby girl into Koizumi's hand: "Okay, now then."

Xiaoquan looked at the flashback in the photo and took a deep breath: "System, I want to receive the red team's reward and upgrade this photo."

The photo in her hand glowed white, and its attributes quickly changed to (3+0).

There were two children lying side by side in the crib, a boy and a girl.

The baby boy opened his big green eyes and stared at somewhere outside the camera with pure gaze, waving his hands and feet energetically.

Green eyes...

Koizumi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had some associations.

She stared at the baby boy's head.

It's not very clear, but it's silver-white hair, right? !

Koizumi felt a chill down his spine and his hair stood on end.

She hurriedly looked at the baby boy's wrists again, but both his wrists and ankles were clean without any flaws.

Where is the serial number?

At this time, a woman in a nurse's uniform walked in from outside the camera. She skillfully wrapped the baby boy in a swaddle and took him away.

The only thing left in the picture was the baby girl on the bed.

Then, after about eight or nine seconds, the scene began to repeat.

Koizumi counted silently in his mind.

The level 27 photo goes back a full seconds!

Therefore, after the photo is upgraded, the length of the time to go back should be 3 to the power of n. If it is upgraded for the fourth time, the time can reach 81 seconds.

However, there is absolutely no need for this anymore.

Koizumi turned and looked at Sakurai Izumi beside him.

Sakurai's face was pale and his whole body was shaking.

"It's her...it's that woman, the old lady I saw at the police academy graduation ceremony! She is, she is..."

Sakurai Izumi held his head and groaned in pain for a few times, then suddenly shouted: "... Dean Liangzi! She is Gu Xi Liangzi!"
