I'm the heroine of a love game in a comic book

"Ah!"

Akai Shuichi suddenly sneezed, and Judy, who was sitting on his right, asked with concern, "Are you okay? It's been windy lately, be careful not to catch a cold."

Shuichi Akai rubbed his nose and said, "I'm fine." He rarely gets sick, so he didn't take it seriously. He said to Yuya Kazami who was standing in front and explaining the action plan, "Let's continue."

After reaching a settlement with Toru Amuro, F/B/I/ established a cooperative relationship with Tachimoto Public Security. This meeting was to discuss the strategic plan to destroy an important base of the organization. Yuya Kazami attended on behalf of Toru Amuro.

After the meeting, James chased after Shuichi Akai who was going downstairs to cook. He said, "Akai," and gestured to Shuichi Akai to go to the room at the end of the corridor to talk with him.

"Akai, are you sure you can persuade Gibson to defect and join us? If so, I will apply for the witness protection program."

James was very concerned about Gipson's whereabouts. Technical talents were in high demand everywhere, and he didn't believe that the police didn't want to persuade Gipson to surrender. Fortunately, they still had Akai Shuichi on their side, who could play the emotional card.

Akai Shuichi hesitated for a moment, he remembered Xuejian's tearful face when she mentioned Moroboshi Dai, he missed the chance to reveal his identity last time, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to confess to her when he went to see her again. Especially recently, because of the mission, they haven't seen each other for a long time.

He, who was always decisive, was hesitant at this moment. The longer he dragged on, the more he worried that Yukie would not be able to accept the fact that he had faked his death and that Okiya Subaru was Akai Shuichi. After all, it was like he had lied to her twice, and Yukie had said that she hated lying, which led to his repeated attempts to speak up but to no avail.

James seemed to see through his thoughts and reminded him earnestly, "Akai, being timid is not your style. You need Tsukishiro Yukimi, and the F/B/I/ needs outstanding people like Gippson. It is reasonable to persuade her to turn back from her wrong path both publicly and privately. Besides, do we have to wait until the organization is destroyed to let her know the truth from others? Some things should be said by yourself."

"I thought you weren't someone who was trapped in love, Akai. It turns out you just haven't met someone you really like."

James patted Shuichi Akai on the shoulder. Ever since Shuichi Akai joined F/B/I/, James believed that he would become the best agent. Along the way, Shuichi Akai was called the "silver bullet" that shot through the heart of the organization as he wished. He didn't want Shuichi Akai to pay too much attention to his feelings. The only way to have no worries was to deal with his relationship with Gibson as soon as possible.

Akai Shuichi was quite surprised. James had never expressed any opinion on his and Xuejian's affairs from beginning to end. It turned out that he had been seeing his struggles for the past few days. Naturally, he also heard the deep meaning in James' words.

"I'll take care of it." He really couldn't go on like this. The longer he kept it a secret, the greater the harm to Xuejian. It was urgent to wipe out the organization, and he had to protect Xuejian as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Mao Lilan asks for help on how to ease the relationship between her parents. She has created countless opportunities for Mao Li Kogoro and Kissing Eri to reconcile, but each time she failed.

Yuanzi said calmly, "Xiaolan, you'd better give up as soon as possible. If uncle doesn't change his lustful habit, I don't think aunt will change her mind."

Xiaolan stamped her feet in anger and said, "That's right, Dad won't listen to me no matter what I say. I hate him so much."

The topic somehow shifted to their respective families. Ono Lizhi said that she had been dependent on her grandmother since she was a child and had no memory of her parents; Sonoko said that her father was a typical henpecked husband, and her mother had the final say in everything from the company to the family; Sera enthusiastically told them about her parents' love, which was a bedtime story that she had pestered her mother to tell her for a long time when she was a child.

Xuejian opened her mouth but made no sound. She carefully recalled her and Gipson's families and found that there was no need to share anything. Even Xiaoye Lizhi had her grandmother's love for her, but Xuejian and Gipson had never experienced family love.

So she listened carefully to Sera's story. Although Sera concealed the identity of his parents in his words and downplayed the "dispute" when they first met, Xuejian could still feel the throbbing of a young man and woman falling in love at first sight with each other amidst the swords and sabers.

It's great, looking at Sera's bright and generous smile, and the adoring light in his eyes when he mentioned his parents, Xuejian thought absentmindedly. Children born out of love are different.

Did Shuichi Akai also admire his parents when he was young? He must have, because he joined F/B/I/, an undercover organization, just to find his missing father, Akai Tsutomu. Because he had a healthy family and family affection, he grew up to be a steady and reliable man.

Sera has already talked about her brothers. Although Xuejian doesn't understand why the whole family lives in Beika Town but has not recognized each other yet, she still doesn't criticize Akai Shuichi and listens to the show-off brother fanatic Sera Masumi's fervent admiration for Akai Shuichi.

But why did Sera ask Akai Shuichi, "Is that so?" when he praised her? It was as if he was seeking her approval?

Xue Jian agreed helplessly, "Yeah, yes, that's right, it is."

How could she know that Sera Masumi believed that Okiya Subaru was her eldest brother, and now she was working so hard to help her eldest brother win the prospective eldest sister-in-law. Write an 800-word essay and give examples to prove how excellent, powerful, and wise her eldest brother is... So you two should get back together soon! Sera shouted in her heart.

Xuejian was daydreaming as she listened. She didn't want to think about her biological parents anymore. However, there was no scene of loving mother and filial son in Gipson's memory. People with the same name and surname as her were experiencing the same tragedy.

She tried hard to search through Gibson's memories, trying to find evidence that this girl, who was as tragic as she was, had ever received any love. Her father was a gambler, her mother was too busy with work to care about her, and there were men in black who occasionally came in and out of the house...

Man in black! Xuejian stood up suddenly!

Everyone was startled, and Ono Lizhi quickly asked, "Xuejian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xuejian suppressed her chaotic thoughts and said hastily, "I have something to do so I have to leave first. You guys can chat slowly." She took a few steps outside and then came back, saying to Shiliang seriously, "Believe me, the day when your family will be reunited is not far away. Shiliang, thank you for letting me see what a loving family looks like. If possible, I really want to have a family like yours."

She also wants to have a family that still loves each other deeply even if they are separated.

Xuejian bowed to everyone and ran out of the cafe quickly.

On the way back to the clinic, Xuejian reorganized Gibson's memories.

Her father was a gambler. After her mother died, he mortgaged her to a gangster because of debt. When she was desperately preparing purple sand, Gin killed the gangster on a mission and saved her by accident. Gipson joined the organization to repay Gin.

Gipson's mother was a doctor, and Gipson became a doctor under her influence, but in fact, the mother and daughter had a weak relationship. Her mother ran a small clinic, and people in black often asked her mother to treat them. Later, one day, her mother hugged her to school and cried for a long time, and she never saw her mother again.

The memory of her mother hugging her and crying was deeply imprinted in Gipson's mind, because it was the first time she was loved by her elders. Because of this hug, Gipson later tried many times to investigate the cause of her mother's death - the truck rushed out from the empty road, which was too coincidental, but she found nothing.

Gibson had once suspected the organization because of the men in black, but as far as he could remember, he had never seen those people's faces in the organization, so he put the matter aside.

But Xuejian was different. As a former spectator, she recognized every member of the organization by name. She clearly saw that the man who was being carried on a stretcher by the crowd was Rum, Kenshinori Wakita.

Rum was closely related to the death of Gipson's biological mother.

Xuejian feels as if Gibson has always been living in a secret room, and when she finally realizes this, the secret room releases poisonous fog, preventing her from ever leaving the room.

She didn't summon the system. The system hadn't appeared until now, which meant that it knew the real reason for the death of Jip's mother. The relationship between her and the game was not that of an ordinary player, so it was predictable that she would be pitted.

Xuejian also didn't want to use the power of the system to investigate the matter. If it was really Rum who killed someone, she was willing to make Rum pay the price as a [Gibson].

It can also be regarded as a way to repay the original Gibson for giving her life.

Conan has been looking for an opportunity to talk to Akai Shuichi about Tsukishiro Yukimi. Last time, he learned from Haibara Ai that Tsukishiro was determined to die, so he made up his mind to help her rekindle her desire to live. But Haibara Ai's words also reminded him that Akai Shuichi was the person Tsukishiro Yukimi cared about the most at present, caring so much that he was willing to die at his hands. If he could get Mr. Akai to persuade Tsukishiro not to commit suicide, the effect would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

But F/B/I/ has been very active recently, and he hasn't seen Mr. Akai for many days. Conan is extremely worried. On the one hand, he asks the Junior Detective Team to invite Yukimi Tsukishiro out to play more often and take her out to relax; on the other hand, he works overtime and squats at the door of his house.

Today he was finally caught.

After the Umisaru Island incident, everyone dragged their tired bodies back to Kudo's residence, and Conan finally had time to chat with Akai Shuichi.

"Mr. Akai, I have something very important to tell you."

Conan took the initiative and ignored the other agents' attempts to chase people away. "Are you kidding me? This is my Kudo Shinichi's home. How dare you kick me out?"

Seeing that Conan had a serious face and was not going to give up unless he cooperated with him, Akai Shuichi had no choice but to follow him to the room at the end of the corridor.

…It seems that the last time James talked with him was also here. I wonder how Xuejian is doing these past two days. With the children and Miss Maori, Masumi shouldn't be bored with her. Have a good rest today, and meet Xuejian in her true self tomorrow.

Akai Shuichi was distracted.

He had already begun to imagine what Xuejian's expression would be when she saw him. Would she be surprised or angry? Would she cry and hug him or tell him to get out? It didn't matter. He would definitely hug her tightly and ask for her forgiveness.

Conan's words brought him back to reality.

"You mean, Yukie told Miss Haibara that she wanted to die at my hands, and that she wanted to perish with the organization?"
