Conan: I Am Surrounded By Undercover

The man called Hope stood motionless.

He glanced at Spiatus, then lowered his head to look at the boy lying there, as if he couldn't see enough, his eyes showed feelings that Spiatus couldn't understand.

Spiatus didn't ask him to answer either, he withdrew his gaze, his gaze paused as he swept downstairs.

Humans evacuate war-torn cities, whose remains are occupied by robots. Not only military robots, but also housework robots, security robots, traffic robots, etc., some of which are dog-type search robots designed to look like police dogs.

They are very powerful and work perfectly with military robots, helping them to search areas outside of their scanning range.

Several dog-shaped search robots appeared downstairs. They were close to the ground and seemed to have found something. They raised their heads and sent signals to summon their companions.

The signal is very loud, like the howl of a real police dog when it finds an enemy.

I could only hear the reverberation before falling, a dozen, dozens... Countless black spots appeared at the end of the street, dense like a tide, rushing towards this building.

Hope, who also saw this scene, turned pale, and he finally couldn't stand. He swept past Spiatus and tried to run towards the boy, but was grabbed.

"White Night... White Night!"

Hope shouted helplessly, the hand holding him was like an iron hoop, he could only shout from the spot: "Bai Ye, calm down - the signal source of your left eye has leaked!! Your position is exposed! !Run!!!!"

The boy's left eye was faintly red. If you listen carefully, there will be an ominous sound of dripping.

But he turned a deaf ear to the movement below, the abnormality in his left eye, and the reminder of the invisible teacher.

In his eyes, there is only his nemesis.

"boom!"

The rooftop door was smashed open, and Hope's eyes were split. At that moment, the strength he burst out even temporarily shook Spiatus away.

Spiatus raised his eyebrows slightly, not surprised or angry, but calmly pulled him again.

And this time he couldn't break free.

Several dog-shaped search robots rushed towards the boy, one stepped on his leg and picked it up on his back, and began to bite the shielding suit on his body. The other two each grabbed one of his feet, and soon The soles of his feet were ripped from him.

There was no blood in the air, only a very mild bitter taste like lard soaked in bile.

The boy's hands remained motionless, and he did not interfere with his aiming due to external force.

On the contrary, because he realized that his death was coming, his eyes became firmer.

"Hey—"

The boy named Jing Baiye shot the last shot of his life.

The bullet cut through the air, flew a distance of 1,400 meters, and accurately shot into the left eye of the robot holding the armband, smashing the main control chip with a diameter of 8 mm below it.

The boy showed a relieved smile. The next second, his hands were released, and the sniper rifle in his hand fell from the sky.

"White Night!!!"

The boy is surrounded by dozens of canine search robots.

The shielding suit on his back was bitten, revealing pale skin, the dog-shaped search robot bit down, and its sharp teeth grabbed an extremely thin artificial biological dressing, which was torn from the back of the neck to the lumbar spine, followed by another bite. He grabbed the back of his neck and bit his neck.

The boy's head rolled to one side.

Losing the support of the connecting column below, the back shell and hair of his head fell off, and the eyeball of his left eye fell out of the eye socket. Behind the eyeball was a wire as thin as silk, connected to a gray chip that was smaller than the main control chip.

Hope's legs were weak, and he couldn't say anything. Spiatus then let go of his hand and let him fall to his knees.

His outstretched hand trembled, cupping the boy's face.

It feels similar to human skin, but it is more delicate and cold, and it does not feel any warmth.

His face was stuck to the only soft metal left, and the corners of his mouth were fixed in a slightly raised state—he showed a smile before he died.

"White night..."

Hope closed his eyes in pain, but there was nothing in his eyes, and he couldn't shed a single tear no matter how painful it was.

Spiatus looked down at the corpse at his feet... No, that couldn't be called a corpse at all.

It can only be said that it was a pile of scraps of parts, and a tiny electric current flashed with a crackling sound, and it was blown away with the slightest blow of the wind.

Spiatus bent down, picked up the left eyeball, and lightly rubbed the chip with his fingers.

This is the game he set up. The place for humans inside the barrier, the abandoned city with only robots outside the barrier, the character NPCs, the robot NPCs, and the direction of some of the plot... are all set by him.

With the exception of one of the characters, he only designed half of it.

That character has been in the training camp since he can remember, because the assessment is always substandard, and he lives in the worst room with a bunch of people who are also substandard.

He regards the picture book that the caregiver casually throws at him as a treasure, and is very curious about the outside world.

He was taken out of the training camp by a man with an eye injury. He had a home for the first time, but their home was destroyed time and time again, so they were always wandering in different places.

Because of their longing for the sky, they went to the northernmost border. He climbed the glacier all the way. As he got closer to the sky, he heard the teacher's call to him.

Then just like the game, two different options are put there.

Are you going to go up, or go down?

There is no right or wrong for this important option, but different choices may turn him into two people.

Two most similar and most different people.

"—Are you also 'Jing Baiye'?"

The surrounding scene gradually blurred and distorted. Robots, buildings, the sky... disappeared one by one. Spiatus looked at Hope, who was still hugging the wreckage of Jingbaiye. He named Hope was the last to disappear.

"Unfortunately, I don't want to go down."

He whispered, repeating the answer given in the past.

"Not in the past, and not in the future."

The game screen disappeared~www.NovelMTL.com~ Spiatus took off his helmet and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look outside.

He likes to live in a high place, even in earthquake-prone Japan, he tried to buy a twin-tower skyscraper that claims to be the closest to heaven.

He thought he would like it as much as he did, so he bought him a high-rise apartment in a high-end tower as a gift.

...Unfortunately, until now, he hasn't lived in or even mentioned it.

"Meow~"

Moni's cry sounded, and Spiatus looked back at the gray kitten playing with the cup on the table, and found that it wasn't the meowing. He realized that the phone was ringing just now, and went to the desk to pick up the phone.

He glanced at the call reminder, then picked it up: "Belmode?"

"BOSS." Belmod shouted, "Rye is going to the United States, and he bought a ticket for tomorrow."

"understood."

Spiatus held the phone, and while communicating with Belmod, he walked back to the window and looked down at the scenery below.

"By the way, Belmod, I have something to trouble you. Now, with the highest authority I gave you, send a notification to all members through the organization's intranet."

"—As long as the undercover agent is discovered and the evidence is clearly presented, I will personally meet him and make him the BOSS's exclusive guard."

"and also……"

He added in a gentle tone: "Inform the members of the Boston Sanatorium to stop taking the medicine for Mr. Akai who injured Rum's eye thirteen years ago... It's time for him to wake up."
