[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

Ruri turned to Noah's Ark curiously, and did not notice that Bourbon also looked at the boy's shadow at the same time, with a stern look with warning in his purple-gray eyes.

Noah's Ark completely ignored Bourbon, just watched the girl calmly and said, "Do you know Ferdinand Magellan?"

Ruri nodded: "He is the first navigator in human history to complete a circumnavigation of the world. He opened up a new route and proved that the earth is round. He is a great man of great historical significance."

"It's very standard content in history textbooks. It seems that you have learned well in history class." The boy smiled kindly, "Pedinan Magellan, he was funded by the King of Spain and completed a circumnavigation of the world, connecting America and Europe. The cultural exchanges between the two countries are a great milestone in human history. But it was also he who led Europe to launch colonial wars against the Americas. In the end, the American lands became European colonies, and all the indigenous Indians in the Americas were wiped out. For modern times For mankind, his voyage around the world had great historical significance, but for many people of that era, he was a devil who brought war and destruction."

Ruri was stunned, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say, have you ever thought about the impact that the existence of this organization will have on mankind many years from now, will it be more positive or more negative?" The boy He smiled and said, "Maybe in your eyes, they are human cancers that trample the law, kill people wantonly, and disrupt social order. They are existences that must be eradicated. But in fact, they are also in the fields of computer science, physics, and biological sciences. In many fields such as medicine and pharmacy, they have concentrated huge efforts to carry out research that disregards human ethics and is therefore ahead of the times - and their research results may make significant contributions to mankind many years from now."

The boy lowered his voice: "The sacrifices of some individual human beings are of no importance to the history of all mankind, just like no one cares whether Ferdinand Magellan was a murderer today. And the scientific research that this organization has done and will do The results may allow them to become 'Pedinan Magellan' in the eyes of future people."

Ruri looked at him in disbelief, "But how can they be the same?"

"No, they are the same." Noah's Ark said calmly, "They have the same human spirit. They all challenged the unknown destiny of mankind in their times."

"Everything that happens in this world will be forgotten as time goes by. Only the human spirit of exploring the unknown and challenging destiny will remain immortal."

After Bourbon ordered a cake and coffee for the little girl for afternoon tea at a nearby cake shop, he went back to the laboratory that houses the world's most advanced artificial intelligence.

Noah's Ark seemed not surprised that Bourbon would turn back so quickly and was waiting for him.

Bourbon said unceremoniously as he entered the door: "What the hell are you doing?"

"Help you persuade her to surrender." Noah's Ark winked humanely, with a hint of mischief, "Didn't I perform well? I see that young lady is very moved. I'm obviously helping you, but you are so... What are you doing?"

Bourbon sneered: "You don't believe those words yourself."

Noah's Ark laughed, the same gentle and harmless smile he showed when he faced Ruri just now: "I still don't believe that I can observe parallel universes. This set of lies you made up is really clumsy."

Bourbon showed a disgusted expression, "Turn off your expression simulation system, it looks disgusting. And the only way to pull her eyes away from her world is to say that. You can't think of anything better." Is there a way to do it? - So what is your purpose in the rhetoric you added later?"

"I have no other purpose, nor did I convey or imply any negative information to you. As you can see, I am just helping you persuade her to surrender." After the boy followed the instructions and turned off the expression system, he finally felt a little better. The indifference of a machine, "As for the purpose of doing this, it's just because I can see that she is a good person."

Bourbon raised his eyebrows sarcastically, "Huh? Are you trying to say that you think that as a good person, she will always suffer if I am trapped in this camp, so you told her that I hope she can pass that kind of organization?" The exculpatory thought made her feel better?"

"That's it." Noah's Ark asked calmly, "Isn't it okay?"

"Yes, yes, but you are wasting your efforts." Bourbon shrugged. "Although she is gullible, she is not stupid. She will not be shaken by this level of advice. .”

The artificial intelligence didn't seem to believe it: "She looked very moved when she left. Are you so sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Bourbon smiled emotionlessly, "Noah's Ark, don't be too arrogant. Your understanding of human beings is still far away."

Noah's Ark was silent for a while and then spoke again: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I helped you deceive her. You promised to give me the key. When will you honor it?"

Bourbon said calmly, "If I gave you freedom, you would still choose to commit suicide immediately, right?"

Noah's Ark looked at him without saying a word, and Bourbon said no more, casually inserting a small USB flash drive into the waiting host.

Looking at the artificial intelligence that immediately started the destruction process, Bourbon said leisurely: "As you wish, farewell forever, kid."

Noah's Ark showed a satisfied and relieved smile, "Goodbye, Bourbon."

Belmode came outside the room at some unknown time, held a cigarette in his chest and asked, "Bourbon, are you just going to let him go?"

"In the final analysis, it's not because the organization's rookie programmers haven't found a way to crack and modify its program. This artificial intelligence is set by its owner to... love humans. If we don't change this, we can't use it at all. It." Bourbon tilted his head, "Belmod, are you very free?"

The woman smiled and exhaled a puff of smoke, "Your cat seems to be a child who loves humans very much."

"Cats are different from machines. I like cats like that." Bourbon said calmly. "At first glance, it looks like a good child who has been carefully watered and raised by sunshine and love. It's fun to break it."

Belmode paused his hand and his eyes became cold, "Your hobbies are really vulgar."

Bourbon curled up his lips and said, "Thank you."

"I still don't think something is right." Ruri said with a serious face and bright eyes. She didn't notice that there was still cream on the corner of her mouth. "It's up to people in the future to evaluate you as people in the future. No matter what, I think killing is wrong." Yes! I will never approve of that kind of thing!"

"Well, I know," Bourbon took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth, smiling gently, "Where do you want to go next? Or go home and make dinner?"

The little girl froze, and suspiciously touched the corner of her mouth that had been wiped by the other person, her eyes seemed to ask, 'Did it really happen? ', and responded quickly: "Let's go to the seafood market to buy eels! I want to eat the eel rice you made tonight!"

Bourbon laughed: "You say you don't agree, but you are not polite at all when making requests."

"Because, I've thought about it." Ruri continued to remain serious, "As long as I eat very expensively every meal, you will be poor one day! In this case, at least you won't have the money to do anything wrong!"

"..." Bourbon couldn't help but remind her, "But eel is not an expensive food."

"Eh!? I-I mean the most expensive eel?"

"I'm also talking about the most expensive eel."

The little girl quickly became depressed, "But... I want to eat eel rice..."

Bourbon smiled brightly and touched her head: "Okay, then let's buy the most expensive eel."

"Can I ask?" Ruri couldn't help but ask when the two of them were eating a hot dinner around the dining table, "Who taught you how to cook?"

Bourbon was stunned: "Why do you ask this question?"

The little girl lowered her head and poked the kabayaki eel wrapped in sauce with her chopsticks, "Because... the food you cook and his food taste exactly the same."

Bourbon and Rei Furuya were supposed to be two completely different individuals except for their appearance.

However, they always have striking similarities in certain places or certain behavioral habits.

This was the first time Ruri mentioned him. She didn't say who it was, but they both knew each other well.

Bourbon chuckled, "I don't remember who taught him."

Ruri looked up with wide eyes, "How could you not remember?"

Bourbon did not answer her, but instead asked, "Why don't you run?"

"Ah? What are you running for?"

"In a scenario like this where I plan to trap you, generally speaking, you would run away if you didn't like it." Bourbon said, "I didn't restrict your freedom of movement, so why didn't you make any move to escape? "

"..." Ruri looked at him without words, "You are surprisingly self-aware..."

"But don't think too much. If I don't run away, it's not because I'm admitting defeat. I just know that I can't run away. I have a very clear understanding of the strength gap between us." The little girl grabbed the eel rice. He replied nonchalantly, "Because I have run countless times since I was a child."

Bourbon was a little surprised: "I thought he was a good person, but he also locked you up? Is this the same relationship between you?"

Ruri almost choked the rice into her windpipe, "...No, we are just playing hide-and-seek. Within the scope of Tokyo, I hide from him, and I am not allowed to use the power of the police or organizations. He can find me before the sun goes down every time. .”

"I see..." Bourbon touched his chin, "It's so interesting. Am I actually a police officer in another world?"

"Yes, it's an undercover agent organized by the police." Anyway, across the dimensional wall, it wouldn't hurt to tell Bourbon this level of information.

"However, that person is doing such a dangerous job, and he still keeps you by his side." Bourbon laughed happily, "It seems that he is not a completely just person."

Although he didn't understand what Bourbon was suddenly enjoying, Ruri nodded calmly, "You're right. I've been glad countless times in the past that he's not the kind of person who's completely righteous without any selfish motives. That's what I like. He is not completely righteous without any selfish motives.”

Bourbon inexplicably felt that her smile at the moment was a bit annoying, and couldn't help but stab her, "But he doesn't belong to you, and you are not even from the same world."

"I know, but I also know that he is still happy." Ruri said softly, "This is enough, I am very satisfied. Whether he is happy is ten thousand times more important than whether he belongs to me."

Bourbon looked at the girl in front of him in surprise.

He knew that he was completely unable to understand her thoughts and feelings.

But he also suddenly knew that he was actually jealous.

It seemed that for a moment just now, Bourbon suddenly had an idea.

If I was actually an undercover police officer in the organization, would that person not have to die?
