In the morning, Xiaoye Lizhi yawned and prepared for the day's business. She opened the shutter door in a daze, and a pitch-black object slammed in.

Ono was startled. Was she being robbed, or was it a wild animal that broke in? She ran behind the cashier counter and raised the electric baton hidden in the box, not daring to move. Should I call the police? Poirot is across the street. If I shout now, Toru Amuro should be able to hear me. Ono was upset.

The black mass moved, and Ono Lizhi realized it was a person. The black coat covered the whole person, and with the same hairstyle as Sadako, her facial features could not be seen, which led to her misunderstanding. The person pushed aside her silky long hair, revealing a pale face. The two dark circles under her eyes were too eye-catching, making her look more like a female ghost than before.

"Yuecheng? Why are you here?" And you got yourself into this state?

Xuejian stood up shakily and said, "Xiao Ye, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night so I went out for a walk. I passed by this street and wanted to find you to chat. I didn't expect your convenience store was not open 24 hours a day. I sat at the door waiting for you to open, and I accidentally fell asleep." She spoke with half-closed eyes, looking very sleepy.

Ono Lizhi was impressed by Xuejian's train of thought. "I'm the only one in this store. I don't have any employees. You're going to tire me out by working 24 hours a day." She pushed Xuejian to the bathroom to wash up. "Come on, cheer up. I'll heat up breakfast for you. Go home and catch up on some sleep."

Xuejian washed her face and brushed her teeth in a daze, and only woke up when a white radish was stuffed into her hand. "Well, sorry to bother you, I'll leave right away." Xuejian was a little embarrassed. She felt depressed and uncomfortable after leaving the base yesterday, and she had no one to talk to. After thinking about it, only Xiaoye Lizhi, who was also a player, could really talk to her. Maybe her brain was shattered by the gunshot, so she rashly came to the door.

"No, do you have something to tell me?" Ono Lizhi said quickly, and added, "Actually, I have a lot of things I want to share with you. It turns out that opening a store is so tiring. When I was working in an office building, what I wanted most was to open a store. I didn't expect that it would be so easy."

Xiao Ye is a girl who makes people feel warm and happy. When she found that Xue Jian didn't want to talk much, she started talking about her own things. She is very talkative, and she can talk about an ordinary thing in a round and round way. With her cute expression on her round face, Xue Jian was soon amused.

Ono Lizhi clapped enthusiastically, "Finally I made you laugh. I almost used all my skills to entertain my grandma with colorful clothes."

She pretended to be serious and said, "So, Grandma Yuecheng, what's bothering you that you want to tell Lizhi? Look at your bitter face, you're almost like my grandma." Her wink hit Xuejian's sweet spot.

The spirited girl is a treasure of the world, and Xuejian was healed. Xuejian was about to complain to her, but stopped herself. She could not tell Xiaoye about such a horrible thing as murder and arson. It was everyone's responsibility to protect the spirited girl. After thinking about it, she found a safe topic.

"Xiao Ye, why did you choose to open a convenience store? I remember that you can customize your identity when choosing a business model in the game. Wouldn't it be better to open a multinational company and become an entrepreneur?"

Ono Lizhi suddenly became melancholy. "It's a long story. I started working after I graduated from college. My boss was an exploiter. I had to work overtime until midnight every day. There was a young couple who opened a convenience store downstairs from our company. Their oden was really fragrant and delicious. It's no exaggeration to say that I went to work just for the sake of eating oden. At that time, I made a wish that when I saved enough money, I would quit my job and open a convenience store to sell oden."

"Later, I died suddenly from working for 38 hours straight. I had just graduated less than two years ago. Fortunately, I downloaded the game before, and the system told me that I could do whatever I wanted in the game. If I wanted to open a convenience store, the game would help me make the most popular convenience store. Now I am happy every day."

At the end she became excited again, looking very sweet, and it seemed that she really likes her current life.

In comparison, Xuejian was a little depressed. "Why is there not so many gameplays in the internal beta test, only love strategies? I am a little confused about my mission now."

Love or not is secondary. I want to be a good person, and my original self also wanted to be a good person. Why is my path getting darker and darker now?

Ono helped her analyze, "Xuejian, why did you pre-order the game in the first place, when there was only one route, the romance strategy?"

"Because no one has ever loved me, and I have never loved anyone else, I want to experience what it feels like to love and be loved. I have now discovered that I don't know how to love others. Akai Shuichi may have discovered a long time ago that my love for him was fake, so he never really liked me either. We have always been acting to each other."

"But didn't he confess his identity to you and take you away from the organization?" Ono was puzzled. Even though they were not related by blood to his cousin, Akai was still willing to expose himself, which must mean he had real feelings for her.

Xuejian disagreed, "That's because Gipson has never harmed anyone and still has great value. I say this based on the principle that decent people should save as many people as possible." And I no longer meet the requirements.

Ono Lizhi changed her mind and said, "You must like the character of Akai Shuichi, otherwise why would you choose to capture him instead of others? You are taking the mission too seriously now. If you really just want to have a love relationship, would you think so much about it?"

She took a sip of water and continued, "While he is still wearing Subaru's skin, have a real love affair with Okiya Subaru. Don't forget that you play the game to find 'love', and the mission is secondary. You see, I haven't completed the mission set by the system, but I am very happy every day now, and I am doing what I really want to do. At worst, I can stay in the Conan world for the rest of my life. I don't want to be resurrected and continue to be a corporate slave."

I chose him because three out of four people who participated in the internal test chose Amuro Toru, and I wanted to make myself different...and I did choose him because I liked the character.

Ono was right, she was putting the cart before the horse. At the beginning, she just wanted to understand love and feel love, not to complete the mission and be resurrected.

For many people, knowing that they will die, enjoying life while they can is the most common choice, and Gibson is no exception.

Xuejian was also getting bored of the back-and-forth with Akai Shuichi, so she sped up a bit and let him become her boyfriend again so that she could enjoy their relationship.

Xuejian hugged Ono Lizhi tightly and said, "Thank you Lizhi - can I call you that? I'll call Subaru now and ask him to be my boyfriend. Forget about the mission!" She was full of fighting spirit again and strode out of the convenience store with her head held high.

=====

At Kudo's house, F/B/I agents are holding an emergency meeting.

James Blake conveyed the headquarters' opinion to Shuichi Akai and others: agreeing to work with the Liben official and other intelligence organizations in the world to eliminate the Black Organization, and to recruit as many capable members of the organization as possible who have the hope of surrendering.

It was simply putting his covetousness for APTX4869 on the table, Akai Shuichi thought coldly. Anyway, he only wanted to destroy the organization and find his father's whereabouts, and the subsequent division of profits had nothing to do with him. Fortunately, he did not report to his superiors about Kudo Shinichi's rejuvenation, and Miyano Shiho was also confirmed "dead" by Amuro Toru, otherwise he was really afraid that the two children would be dragged by the senior leaders for human experiments.

Judy Stelling raised her hand and said, "I propose to provide a witness protection program for Gipson - real name Tsukishiro Yukie. As far as I know..." She listed several points in an eloquent manner, emphasizing that Gipson was a valuable medical talent who needed to be recruited.

Akai Shuichi sat up straight.

After the meeting, Akai Shuichi quietly walked to Judy and solemnly said "thank you". As Gipson's ex-boyfriend, he couldn't say a word in favor of Xuejian, but he didn't expect Judy to help him.

"No need to thank me. Gibson does meet the requirements for recruitment, and I am doing my job impartially." Judy sipped her iced Americano. "I was against the honey trap in the first place. If you put yourself in his shoes, I can't stand this kind of deception, even if it is very suitable for undercover missions."

Judy glanced at Akai Shuichi who looked like he was willing to learn. "Please try to persuade that doctor. According to what you said, she should have a lot of dissatisfaction with the organization. It won't be difficult to persuade her to surrender. However, you still have to explain to her how you came back to life first."

She patted Akai Shuichi's shoulder vigorously and said, "Come on, Shuichi. You are our trump card. You can't be incapable of making girls obsessed with you. Don't let them hand you over to the organization."

Just as Akai Shuichi was about to answer, the phone belonging to Okiya Subaru rang. He nodded to Judy, walked to the corner and answered the phone. A cheerful voice rang, "Mr. Okiya, let's start dating. I have forgotten my hateful ex-boyfriend!"

Okay... eh???
