Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi teleported to Sakurai's side again, rubbing his temple with a tired look on his face.

"I'm done here, leave the rest to me. Thank you for your hard work."

Sakurai did not return to the system space immediately, but looked at her and made a questioning gesture.

Koizumi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. This kind of performance is really too tiring."

In the confrontation with Vermouth, her main focus was to challenge the other party's emotional fluctuations.

From the time Koizumi came into contact with the organization to the time she obtained her code name, although she had many conflicts with Rum and Gin, she also obtained the most intelligence from them.

Only Vermouth.

Although Bayonetta's attitude towards her has always been relatively friendly, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that Koizumi has never obtained any useful information from Vermouth. Instead, he has unknowingly revealed a lot of his own details to her.

For example, her extraordinary body recovery ability that came from nowhere, and the original identity information of this body.

If she had not later learned through the system that her original identity was an experimental subject of the organization, she might have been caught by Gin and locked up in the laboratory again at any time, and she would not even know how she died.

No one knows how old Vermouth is. As an elite intelligence agent, she is also a top-notch professional actor. She has been immersed in this damn organization for an unknown period of time. She is definitely a deep-minded person and will not be easily moved by a few words.

When it was decided that he would have a face-to-face confrontation with Vermouth, Koizumi had been thinking about how he could take the dominant position in the meeting with her and how he could find out Vermouth's true thoughts and emotions.

After thinking it over, she came to the conclusion that only by constantly reversing and creating dramatic conflicts could she make Vermouth interested in her, and only then would she be able to get a glimpse of her subtle emotional fluctuations and thus find out a little bit of Bayonetta's true emotions and thoughts.

Unexpected sneak attacks, revealing the changes in the relationship between himself and Gin to the other party, revealing some of her superpowers, incredible performances, making her surprised, frightened and even angry, what kind of lines will make an actor feel unexpected, how to grasp the scale of gags, how to make temptations that are not too abrupt and thus arouse her vigilance...

It looked like an ordinary meeting that happened out of the blue, but in fact it was a performance with a carefully designed script.

Fortunately, her performance seemed to be okay, and the effect of her performance was good, and she did gain some useful information.

However, Koizumi is still not sure whether the information she obtained is a smokescreen released by Vermouth.

The performance went so smoothly, could it be because Vermouth had already discovered her purpose and everything was just going along with her naturally?

Although this sounds like a conspiracy theory, we still have to be on guard.

The worst result was that she didn't get any useful intelligence, but instead allowed the other party to obtain first-hand information about her abilities.

"…In the end, the recorder distracted Sister Bay's attention, and luckily she didn't realize that I was actually recording it.

“I can handle the rest of the task by myself. Sakurai, you can take a look at the footage I just uploaded, fill in the gaps, and see if you have any ideas.

"We'll discuss the rest once we get back to the safe house."

Sakurai nodded, returned the positioning device on his body to her, and then returned to the consciousness space.

Koizumi put away the puppet and continued to the next mission location.

The remaining two mission targets are still not difficult.

Koizumi ended the battle easily and sent an email to Gin. Just as he was about to return to the safe house, he suddenly received a call from Gin.

Their mission should not be over yet, why are they calling her at this time?

Koizumi pressed the answer button and listened to the conversation on the other end without saying a word.

Gin also remained silent, silently confirming the situation on her side.

Five seconds later, Koizumi spoke first: "What's the matter?"

There was only one simple command from the other side.

"Come and join us."

Then the phone hung up.

Koizumi frowned slightly.

Ask her to go over and meet up, but don't tell her the exact location? Should I send her another email to ask?

...Could it be that Sister Bayonetta has already told Gin that she can use a five-yen coin to locate things?

No, she clearly said that Team Gin was on a mission, and Sister Bayonetta wouldn't choose this time to say something like this.

That is……

problem occurs.

"Ding", the phone received an email, it was the location sent by Vodka.

Excluding gin and vodka, something must have happened to Zhu Fu!

Koizumi checked the location of Gin's five-yen coin in his mind.

The normal journey takes fifteen minutes and the straight-line distance takes five minutes.

She thought about it and pulled out her puppet again.

Without her prompting, Sakurai immediately re-entered the puppet's body and made a "ready" gesture to her.

Koizumi handed her the positioning device, a five-yen coin, and his cell phone, and told her Gin's current location.

"Just take your time and go there slowly, or you can take a detour. When you get there, don't meet up with Gin and the others, hide somewhere by yourself. If Gin sends you another message, find a way to brush him off. I have a bad feeling, so I have to go over there in advance to check out the situation."

After saying that, the black cat jumped onto the wall, climbed over the ridge and ran towards the target location.

------

The black cat hid in the shadows and watched for a while.

The Porsche was parked on the side of the road. The interior of the car was pitch black. From the outlines of the figures, one could tell that it was Gin and Vodka.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was not there.

In other words, something unexpected happened while Zhu Fu was performing his mission?

"Brother, Midorikawa's operation has failed, right? Should we just get rid of him?"

The black cat narrowed his eyes slightly.

Vodka...

Just for this sentence of yours, you are dead!

Gin was silent for a moment, then said vaguely, cigarette in hand: "...wait for them to come. How long will it take?"

"Mello hasn't responded, but the coordinates are moving towards us. Cohen and the others will probably need about 20 minutes."

"Tell them to find a good position directly. If they find a good sniper position nearby. If this guy can't get away before they settle down, he will be considered a failure in the test."

"Okay, big brother."

"Humph, the Metropolitan Police Department isn't full of losers. It's just Midorikawa's bad luck."

Hearing these words, Koizumi was suddenly shocked.

No way……

She did tell Hagiwara and the others not to inform Date Kou that the organization had a cleanup mission, and just let him work normally.

It can't be such a coincidence that he and Zhu Fu really ran into each other!

Within twenty minutes, she must help Zhu Fu Jingguang escape safely and successfully complete the cleanup mission, otherwise he will still face mission failure.

After being in the organization for so long, she had never heard of anyone having a second chance at the assessment.

Failure means death!

But first, she must find Date Kou!
