Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

It was already past three in the morning when we returned to the hotel after the first ceremony. The group dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

Koizumi had just returned to his adult size and had slept very well in the past few days. Even though it was the middle of the night, he felt a little excited and didn't want to sleep at all.

She thought about it, then went to the hot spring with her clothes.

During the New Year period, the hotel's hot spring is open 24 hours a day except for daily cleaning. There should be no one else here at this time, which is very friendly to her who has a little secret.

Oh, no, she is no longer Kyoko now, so it doesn’t matter if others see the scar on her wrist.

Soaking comfortably in the water, Koizumi let out a long sigh and began to think about what to do after the New Year.

The most urgent task is to continue collecting singularities and raise the level of Fujiwara Yuto's puppet as soon as possible.

If she works hard, it will only take her one or two months to progress from the second grade to the third grade.

But if she wants Fujiwara Yuto to come to the front, she needs a puppet to face the organization members and even that gentleman as an independent person. Not only does the puppet need to have a certain level of intelligence, but it also needs to be able to open its mouth and speak!

Therefore, reaching the third level, even wearing a collar is not enough, you still need to continue to strive for the fourth level.

I hope that the skills that appear when upgrading from level 3 to level 4 can make up for these two shortcomings of the puppet.

But obviously even with the additional special effects it was impossible to fill two gaps at the same time, so she had to find a way to make up for the other shortcoming.

How can I make a puppet without vocal function open its mouth? Is there any way to make the puppet have a certain degree of intelligence?

Do we have to spend a lot of singularities to explore new props?

When thinking of intelligence, Koizumi couldn't help but think of Hiroki.

In the original plot, Hiroki did invent a groundbreaking artificial intelligence, but because of her intervention, this guy has probably deviated from his original path and developed in the direction of a hacker?

Will artificial intelligence still come into being?

And even if we follow the original plot, Hiroki's creation of artificial intelligence will happen many years later, at least after he graduates from MIT. We can't count on it now.

As for the two tasks that Koizumi assigned to Hiroki, they were actually just improvisations she made up on the spur of the moment, in order to find something for the child to do to calm his emotions, and she didn't expect little Hiroki to play a big role.

It would be best if the little guy could really help her get useful information, but if not, it’s actually not a big problem.

The most important thing is to ask him to help look after Dr. Gu.

Soul splitting or personality splitting, she, who has a cheat, can't do it, let alone an ordinary person like Dr. Gu. With the level of technology in this world, it's really too fantastic! I hope he can control his thoughts and don't really become Mr. No. 2.

As for whether Karasuma Renya is an ordinary person...

It’s hard to say, it remains to be verified.

After all, if Rum's eyes were not injured, he would still have special abilities.

There is also a character named Curacao who has not appeared so far, but he is also confirmed to have special abilities in the original plot.

To make a four-to-five-stage rejuvenation potion, 65 singularity points are required.

To upgrade a puppet from level 6500 to level , you need += singularity points.

There are also five-yen coins that can be used for fixed-point teleportation, which are strategic items and also need to be replenished in large quantities. This is not too difficult. You can make ten of them with 65+650=715 singularities.

In addition, the toy eye surveillance camera, the uncertainty of whether the new disguise mask is needed, the system regularly maintains the required singularity, the reserve singularity for repairing the body, and the reserve singularity for maintaining the shrunk state in the future...

Koizumi looked up at the dark night sky and let out a long sigh.

It’s so difficult… It’s really so difficult…

It would be nice if there was a way to get a large number of singularities at once.

In conventional ways, besides collecting it herself, the only thing she could do was to try her best to improve the reputation of both the red and black sides.

...Hey, wait.

She seems to have forgotten something?

Koizumi was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a "splash" coming from the men's bathing pool across the wall, as if someone was entering the water.

She subconsciously glanced at the time.

It's half past three in the morning.

Is there anyone else besides her who would take a hot spring bath at this time late at night?

Then not long after, someone else came.

"You're here too? Where's Zhufu?"

"That guy ran to the kitchen."

"Huh? The kitchen?"

"Well, they say that you should drink shochu when you go to a hot spring, and you have to have some side dishes when you drink shochu."

"Hey, this guy..."

"Hagiwara is asleep?"

"Yeah. That guy played crazier than Xiaoshu today and lay down right after he came back. Where's Sakurai?"

Koizumi: ???

Apparently, Furuya Rei was also stumped by this question. He paused for a long time before saying, "How would I know?"

"I noticed you were staring at her pretty closely today. I thought you were going to continue to follow her tonight."

"…I just noticed that she didn't seem to have worshipped at the shrine, so I took her through the process. I thought you all had noticed it."

The sound of the sliding door rang out again, and Morifushi Keimitsu's voice said, "Huh, just three people? I thought Hagiwara would come over too and take four cups."

Matsuda Jinpei said lazily: "You can throw a cup over to the next door, maybe Sakurai is over there."

The scene was silent for a moment.

Zhu Fu Jingguang said with a smile: "As expected, I am not used to it without Hagiwara as my role of sarcasm."

Matsuda Jinpei chuckled: "Yeah. If this guy were here, he would probably say..."

Furiya Rei suddenly imitated Hagiwara's tone and said, "Then you can climb up and take a look. If there is someone there, give her a cup and some snacks."

Matsuda Jinpei: "Ha, yes, that's it! Zero, you really understand!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't we ask, maybe she is really there? I listened carefully when I passed by her door just now, and there was no movement inside."

Matsuda Jinpei obviously didn't think much about it, and didn't think Koizumi would really be there, so he shouted, "Hey, Sakurai, cheers!"

Koizumi opened a can of beer with a click and said with a smile, "Well, cheers."

"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."

"Hey, don't spit in the pool!"

"Hahahaha!"

Koizumi could fully imagine what was happening next door, and he covered his mouth and laughed silently.

After a while, there was a sound of someone walking in the water.

The man approached the partition between the two baths and there was a sound of something hitting lightly on the wood.

Matsuda Jinpei whispered, "Cheers. Thank you for saving Hagiwara. To be honest, I can't imagine what I would become without this role of sarcasm."

Koizumi also stood up and sat over, clinked his beer can against the partition, and took a sip.

Then there were two more sounds, obviously the other two had also come over.

"Me too, thank you for everything you've done for me and Zero."

Koizumi: “…Don’t be careless.”

Although Zhufu's reward has been obtained, Koizumi is really afraid that the world will do something weird again.

"Yes, I will. After all, in our line of work, we have to be in good shape all the time."

Both sides were silent for a moment, and Furuya Rei couldn't help but speak up: "Do you have anything to tell us about Xiaoshu and Kyoko?"

Koizumi was thinking about how to explain this to them when his cell phone, which was placed beside the pool, suddenly rang.

And it wasn't an email, it was a phone call.

Oh, by the way, it seems that she didn’t send a check-in email to Gin yesterday to report her whereabouts. Is she anxious?

Koizumi stood up to get his cell phone.

When I looked at the number, it was indeed Gin.

The moment her phone rang, the three people in the bathtub fell silent, not making any sound.

Koizumi answered the phone directly with peace of mind, and said lazily, "Hello, Gin."

"where?"

"spa."

Koizumi sat down again as he spoke, using the sound of water to back up his words, and said with a grin, "Want to come?"

"Come to the Big Black Bar."

"Eh? Now?"

"Yes, come right here. Someone wants to see you."

Koizumi was stunned: "To see me? That gentleman? Why?"

There was a hint of anxiety in Gin's voice: "I also want to ask you, have you done anything in private?"

Recently, I just did some minor movements when drawing blood samples.

It's only been a few days, and they responded so quickly?

So was it Karasuma Renya himself who discovered something, or was there something wrong with the detection by his team?

Regardless of the possibility, this extremely intense reaction was beyond her expectations.

These thoughts flashed through Koizumi's mind, and he casually said to comfort her: "Don't worry, it's okay."

Gin was silent for a few seconds: "Don't waste time, come here immediately."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll be there in two hours at most. You can afford to wait that long, right?"

"speed!"

After saying that, Gin hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Koizumi sat silently for a while before getting up, sighing, "Sorry, I have to leave first."

It was not until she spoke that there was movement again in the bathtub.

"What happened?"

"is a bit……"

Koizumi murmured, then smiled after a moment: "But maybe it's a good thing, at least it means my layout direction is correct. Anyway, don't worry, it's still under control."

"……Be careful."

Koizumi raised the corner of his mouth: "Yeah."

She stood up and left the bathtub, and suddenly heard Furuya Rei ask again: "Sakurai, you and Gin..."

Ah, it was her words of comfort just now that made Furuya Rei suspicious.

Koizumi smiled and replied, "Gin, in a sense, he is actually my ally."

Both are victims of the organization, and accomplices in her future rebellion.
