Chapter 158 - Twin Tower (3)

Conan, despite his anxiety, remained remarkably calm.

His mind raced until he spotted the red sports car on the lobby platform, the prize for the grand opening. Then he glanced out the window at the rooftop swimming pool below. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea.

In this way, a sports car suddenly leaped out from the middle of them and landed in the rooftop swimming pool.

…

Sake watched the scene and whistled as she made her way back to her own residence.

It was really dangerous. 

But as she had expected, if this was the plot that had already happened in the comic or movies, the highest possibility is for it to follow through the plot until the very end without any deviation. If it was a case made by their performance team, his protagonist halo didn't seem to be working that well. 

Is it because the case creator is different?

Either way, Sake was not that worried. Because even if the situation seemed dangerous, Conan was still able to turn the table and performed well while solving the cases. 

'There are already several movie versions that have happened… I should be thankful that some of them could not happen because the people didn't exist.' Sake rubbed her forehead and sighed deeply.

When she first came here and gained some freedom to move, she tried to check some people's whereabouts.

It was the few movie versions that she was most concerned about. 

Not because of anything… but because it was such a stupid plot in her opinion. 

Thankfully, she found out that some characters didn't appear and the game might not want to insert those plots.

The first one is Hiroki Sawada.

This person didn't exist and even if she tried to comb through England, Japan, and the US, she couldn't find him. 

After thinking about the reason, she guessed that it was because the AI that he created could throw the world off balance. In order to make sure that the game world's balance would not be off, this person didn't exist in this world.

Besides, she was sure that if no. 10 were to find Hiroki Sawada, he would try to control the other party.

Because controlling the digital world meant that he could control many things in this Conan's world, especially since at the beginning they were still using bricks like mobile phones. 

The other thing that she kept on confirming through her ghost was the stupid existence of the world undercover list. 

Which idiot made that list?

She will give him a bullet and send him to the police station and let her colleagues interrogate the other party to know who gave him the order. 

Because this act is very stupid.

Moreover, knowing the tense political relationship between countries due to her work in the past three years before the start of the mainline, Kurokawa Saki knew very well that it was impossible for them to tell their undercover agents to other people.

An exposed undercover is useless.

The same is true even if this was made known to other official agencies. 

So unless they could give a lot of benefit, it would be impossible for the official agencies to bet with their undercover's life and hand over their name and details to others.

Private agreement was another matter as there were other concerns and negotiations in this matter.

So far, the list has never been made.

As for the list that every agency has about their own undercover, that was not something that Kurokawa Saki will concern herself about. As long as it was not the so called world undercover list, then she didn't have to worry about it. 

Otherwise, she really wanted to shoot those people to death.

These people risked their lives fighting on the frontline, braving danger and having their conscience tortured day and night because of their mission, only to have their supposed backing betray them and hand over their fate to others?

How ridiculous. 

Kurokawa Saki didn't like this movie the most when she heard about it because of how stupid the idea is. But since it's the Conan's world, it seemed that all the impossible could become possible.

After all, even a football could kick a satellite away… 

Forget it. 

Kurokawa Saki decided not to think about it and forget about it.

Hmm, she should go back to sleep.

Being woken up just to watch the scene of the Twin Tower exploding is really not fun. She had already reported this case to the Interpol and Public Security. Considering that no. 5 also knew about this case, he should have made enough preparation.

There was no need for her to join in the fun. 

Just shooting Conan's hair is enough.

Let's hope he can be more careful later. 

What Kurokawa Saki didn't know was that someone ended up having insomnia, worrying whether his identity had been found by others or not but couldn't get the definite answer. 

At this time, her phone vibrated and Sake took it out. Seeing that it was Vermouth, Sake's eyebrows arched with interest.

"Yes, Vermouth?"

"This is not what we agreed on, Sake." Vermouth's voice was a bit cold, yet Sake was able to hear a hint of laughter from the other party.

"Don't be so agitated. I'm just teaching a reckless brat how to restrain himself. If you really want to protect him, he has to have enough abilities and means to do so. Otherwise, he'll recklessly run into Gin's gun again," Sake replied calmly, indifferent to Vermouth's anger.

To be honest, Vermouth also knew Sake's ability very well. She must have purposely aimed above the boy's head and there was actually no danger.

Still, it was not a very pleasant matter to put one's life on the line.

Though, the result was indeed quite funny.

"You really love to fight with your life on the line, Sake," Vermouth said coldly. Many organization members were crazy and Sake was not an exception.

Her delight when facing danger and blood, coupled with her playful smile when she killed people, made most people feel sick. Toying with her targets and having fun during the missions was very common for Sake. But Vermouth also knew that someone like Sake was also highly appreciated.

Because she almost never failed her mission.

Moreover, it was relatively easy to 'control' the other party as long as they gave her enough reward.

This was how Sake gained a lot of power.

And many people feared her. 

"Without these thrilling events, life will be very boring, isn't it?" Sake asked back, a sweet smile on her lips.

In fact, Sake was still acting.

When did she actually like these things?

If it was possible, she just wanted to stay at home and did nothing for a long time. It was her sense of responsibility that made her force herself to get up and went out to complete her mission day by day.

She only relaxed a bit after the main storyline.

But it didn't mean she would not do her job. She still has to do everything perfectly.

"Anyway, as long as you don't threaten their lives… I'll follow the agreement, Sake." Vermouth lowered her head, her eyes flickered with unknown emotions.

"Don't worry, I know what to do, Vermouth. Your little angel and cool guy will remain intact," Sake replied in her sweet tone.

The call was hung up and Sake rubbed her face.

Well, talking with Vermouth was very difficult. Her acting skill was only 100 since she didn't want to waste more skill points on this skill. So while it could pass the level of most people, including Vermouth, she still has to pay attention to her expression and so on.

Otherwise, she might reveal a flaw.

Sake deeply suspected that Vermouth's acting skill was at the real ceiling level of 120 points.

But it was so freaking expensive to buy.

She needed the points to increase her various passive skills that were crucial for her survival. Otherwise, she would have more skill points to spare.

If the other players were to know that she didn't think it was enough to have so many skill points, they would probably curse her.

But what can she do?

Her skill points are extremely low and she almost has nothing. 

Unlike them who have higher starting points because of their life experience.
