Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

For the code-name members of the organization, the rule of two-way selection is indeed just a decoration.

When Gin decided to take charge of the assessment task of Midorikawa Hikaru, the choice had actually been made.

Midorikawa Hikaru himself actually had no right to choose. However, he himself did not plan to make any other choice.

Like Furuya Rei, Morobushi Kagemitsu originally thought that Koizumi had designed a conservative undercover route for him, but he did not expect that his final position might be closer to the core circle of the organization than Furuya Rei.

In the end, Rei Furuya did not become Gin's subordinate, and he and Rum fell in love.

Perhaps out of consideration for his relationship with Merlot, Gin not only did not compete with Rum for the right to use his wine, but also did not show the slightest regret.

This made Furukaya Rei suddenly realize that what Gin had thrown to him at the Daikoku Bar before was not an olive branch but a test.

That's it.

If he had not listened to Koizumi's advice and insisted on joining Gin's team, he might have fallen into the abyss of nirvana now, instead of being spotted and claimed by another heavyweight code member.

Although I failed to sneak up on Gin, this might be a good thing.

In the eyes of Rei Furuya now, Mr. Wakita, codenamed Rum, is a more threatening and dangerous person than Gin and is more worthy of investigation.

If he really intends to compete for the position of mayor of Tokyo, then I will definitely be able to obtain more useful information from his actions.

As for whether or not to report this matter now?

Fūya Rei plans to wait a little longer.

He still wanted to hear Koizumi's explanation first.

After all, they are teammates in the public security department, so they still need to pay attention to coordinating their actions. It would not be good if his report would affect the other party's layout.

However, since the day the job fair ended, he had no way of contacting this person.

Furiya Rei went straight to Koizumi's office to look for him, but he found that even the cat cafe was closed...

------

At this time, Koizumi was lying in the luxurious villa-style safe house that Nekozuka had prepared for her.

This time, she not only brought Big Orange, Tabby, Cow Cat and Little Black, but she even used several trips to bring the core group of dozens of cat brothers.

The credit goes to everyone, let’s go on vacation together!

Cat canned food is nothing. They really drink goat milk every day and eat sashimi for every meal. The main point is: go crazy and create as much as you can!

As for herself, her life was no different from her life after the Victoria bombing, eating, drinking, exercising, and walking to collect singularities.

Fortunately, there are no other residents nearby, otherwise they would be frightened by the sight of her walking.

Every time he goes out, there are dozens of cats following him, which looks really imposing.

Especially when she walked, she had to be careful not to trip over someone or step on someone's tail. Walking was so tiring.

So later on, Koizumi simply let himself go and went out in cat form, even though it took more steps and consumed more energy.

Well, just treat it as long-distance running practice.

In addition, she did not forget to report to the Metropolitan Police Department under the identity of Morobushi Kagemitsu.

[It is confirmed that Sakurai Izumi is a member of the organization, codenamed Melo, and is an undercover agent planted in the organization by the public security. 】

[Has successfully joined the organization, will leave Sakurai Izumi, and is trying to get closer to the mission target Gin. 】

[The target is highly alert. Abandon the first action plan and wait for a new suitable opportunity...]

At this point, the information about her between the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau was completely synchronized.

Although the matter of Morobushi was still a work in progress and there was an uncertain situation with Matsuda Jinpei, Hagiwara was rescued and Furuya Rei was safely sent into the core circle.

The task of recruiting members for the organization was finally completed, and the result was quite satisfactory. At least Gin couldn't find any fault with her.

The results of her work during this period were finally worth her hard work in the previous two months.

Koizumi plans to give himself a ten-day vacation.

This was supposed to be a relaxing and peaceful vacation.

It should have been...

------

In the system space, Koizumi looked worriedly at Sakurai Izumi who was huddled in the corner.

She hugged her knees and curled up into a small ball, staring with her big eyes, which looked numb and terrified. Whenever Koizumi tried to approach her, she would scream like a little animal.

He was fine when the job fair just ended, and was even able to come out to help, but after Koizumi came to the villa, Sakurai suddenly became what he is now.

I asked you to try your best to recall your childhood memories, but I didn't ask you to go back to your childhood!

After several days of stalemate, Sakurai showed no signs of recovery. As a last resort, Koizumi came up with a bad idea.

Since you don't want to talk to me, there should be no problem in letting you talk to someone you know, right?

So Koizumi made a first-level mask of Gin, and then found a white wig.

She never expected that the imagination she came up with out of desperation would actually work.

When Koizumi stood in front of Sakurai with Gin's face, Sakurai Izumi's mood was obviously different from before.

Although she was still huddled in the corner in fear, there was some liveliness in her originally dull eyes.

"...Zhen." She called out softly, "Is it you?"

Koizumi hurriedly took out the voice changer and changed his voice to Gin's.

"Well, it's me."

"You sneaked out again."

"..."

"Go back quickly, or you'll be beaten again if you're caught."

"How about you? Are you okay?"

"...Zhen, I'm in so much pain."

"Where does it hurt?"

Sakurai reached out and touched his head: "Here..."

Then he pressed his chest: "Here too..."

She lowered her head and searched her chest blankly: "They have all been sewn up..."

Koizumi clenched his teeth silently.

"…What else did they do to you?"

"I drew a lot of blood today."

“Why do you need to draw so much blood?”

"Aunt Liangzi said that my father liked my blood and said it tasted like wine."

Koizumi:!!!

A creepy feeling suddenly spread from the top of her head to her whole body, and she began to shiver uncontrollably.

Koizumi followed Sakurai's example and sat down where he was, hugging himself silently, trying to calm himself down.

So that gentleman recognized me from the beginning...

She thought of the incubator that took away her blood, and the two words that Vermouth said that seemed to carry deep meaning.

[Maybe newly made blood is fresher and more delicious? ]

【So you have to be careful and don’t get hurt often. 】

Vermouth is an insider!

She was the first person to discover my identity!

The time when I killed Tequila, when Vermouth came to test me disguised as a nurse, she said that my recovery speed was simply a "miracle."

It is known that in the original plot, the reason why Vermouth was valued by that gentleman for a long time was because she was an immortal "fairy", that is, a person with some special abilities.

So, after Sister Bei reported this to that gentleman, did that gentleman confirm the “miracle” that happened to me?

No, probably not...

Otherwise, he would have captured me and sliced ​​me up instead of letting me move freely in Tokyo.

No wonder Gin confirmed that I didn't remember much, it turned out that he called me the wrong name.

It’s not Dean Guxi, but Aunt Liangzi.

Not that gentleman, but...father.

When Sakurai was a child, he actually called that gentleman "father"?

What father would drink the blood of his own child?

What a huge irony!

When Koizumi recalled the day when he was given the code name and the man in the monitor holding a red wine glass, he felt his throat tighten and couldn't help but lie on the ground and retch.

Sakurai Izumi came to her side at some point and patted her back gently.

Koizumi suppressed the nausea in his chest and wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand: "Sorry."

"Zhen, why are you saying sorry?"

Koizumi: ...

"Zhen, can you kill me?"

Koizumi suddenly looked up at Sakurai beside him.

Sakurai's expression was serious: "I heard that you are the most powerful one, so the people you kill shouldn't feel any pain, right?"

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation: "Kill me, Zhen."

Koizumi: ...

Sakurai Izumi looked at her, and the expression on her face suddenly became panic-stricken.

She reached out her hand in panic and wiped Koizumi's face twice, and said in a dazed tone: "So you can cry too."

Koizumi covered his face and controlled his emotions, then continued to ask, "How did you escape from that place?"

Sakurai showed some grievance on his face: "I didn't want to run away. It was Sister Sharon who threw me into the experimental garbage waiting to be processed, and then I was taken away by the garbage truck."

She said carefully: "I don't want to abandon you, really. Are you angry?"

Before Koizumi could say anything, the expression on Sakurai's face suddenly changed. She suddenly hugged her head and fell to the ground, twitching and wailing.

"Sakurai, Sakurai!"

Koizumi rushed over and hugged her: "Hey! You..."

Sakurai's wailing stopped abruptly and she lay there panting, her body gradually relaxing.

After a while, she opened her eyes a little weakly and smiled at Koizumi: "...It's okay, I'm back."
