Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 97 The Evil That Cannot Be Burned Away by the Fire of Karma 52

After hearing Morobushi Keimitsu's voice, Akikawa Sarana took off her headphones and continued to work on the last document in her hand.

[Host, what should we do next? ]

Akikawa Sarana looked at the file, heard the system problem, and replied lightly in her mind, "No need to do anything."

Although Morobushi Keimitsu's arrival seemed to be a little slower than she expected, she had thought that they would take action immediately when they noticed Conan's voice appeared in their bug.

I didn’t expect this... This shouldn’t be the case. Zhu Fu doesn’t seem like such a kind person, right?

[Eh? Nothing to do?] The system that was originally eager to try became a little sluggish.

【Um. 】

Akikawa Sarana only replied to the system with a short word, and then said nothing else, just looking at the document in her hand in silence.

The system originally wanted to ask the host some questions, but when it found that the host did not turn to the next page of the file for a long time, it knew that the host was thinking about something, so it tried to figure out the answer to the question it wanted to ask.

What the system didn't know was that Akikawa Sarana was not thinking about what it thought would be her next action, but was thinking about how she would face the attack from Bourbon and Conan next.

After she calmed down, she thought back to the conversation she had with Bourbon that day.

She checked the auction on the "Tlaloc" last night. Although most of the people who went there were those so-called "upper class", it was not a formal auction, and it was an auction with a "threshold".

She had previously wondered why he didn't get the tickets from the Suzuki family or Kogoro Mori, and now she got the answer after investigating the auction.

Not to mention that Kogoro Mori himself has a close relationship with the police, the Suzuki family, a relatively upright chaebol, was not even invited to the auction.

No wonder he wanted to get the tickets from her.

But what did he need the tickets to the auction on the Tlaloc for?

Thinking of this, Akikawa Sarana opened the drawer beside her and took out two exquisitely crafted invitations.

This is the ticket for the auction. If someone hadn’t wanted it, she wouldn’t have known that she had received two invitations. After all, she rarely looks at these things.

Unless there is a task requiring it, she usually throws it aside as waste paper.

[Ding, the main quest is refreshed. 】

Akikawa Sarina, who was struggling with the problem, narrowed her eyes slightly. She looked at her system panel. The main task had not been refreshed since the system was reactivated. Why was it suddenly refreshed now?

And...Akikawa Sarina's eyes fell on the main task that had just been refreshed on the system panel. Isn't the content of this task a little too coincidental?

After the system passively broadcast the content of the new task, Akikawa Sarana spoke up, [Tongzi, are these tasks really refreshed randomly? ]

[Except for the main missions of the first and last rounds, the remaining missions are randomly refreshed throughout the process. ]

Akikawa Sarana suppressed her speculation and put the two invitations in her hands into envelopes respectively. Now she didn't have to worry about whether to go on the "Tlaloc".

Even if it was for the mission, she had to go on the "Tlaloc".

Finally, a new task was refreshed. The system was a little excited. [Host, what do you need me to do for this task? ]

[First, please help me collect some information about the "Tlaloc", including the group company it belongs to and why it was suspended before. ]

[Okay host, what about the guests coming on board this time? ]

Akikawa Sarana signed and stamped the last document. "No need for now. There is still some time before the cruise ship sets sail. New changes may occur at any time before then. Let's talk about the personnel information after we finish the things at hand."

Akikawa Sarana, who had just put the file in the processed area and was about to stretch and go home, noticed that the cell phone that belonged to Akikawa Sarana and had been placed on the desk suddenly lit up.

She took the phone and found that it was indeed Kenji Hagiwara who asked her whether she had returned home and whether she had encountered any suspicious people at this time every day.

Akikawa Sarana took a look at the documents she had already processed, and honestly told him through email that she was still working overtime at the company and had not encountered any suspicious people today. She also asked about their safety and whether the case was going smoothly.

Out of respect for the young students and trust in someone's ability, Akikawa Sarana did not ask the system to help monitor the progress of the young students' cases.

Bourbon's mission is to disrupt the police's attention, so Hagiwara and Matsuda are also his targets.

Because of his presence, Akikawa Sarana was not worried that the young children would come into contact with the organization in this case.

Therefore, she could only make simple guesses about the progress of the cases in the hands of her childhood friends from daily email communications.

Looking at the reply emails she received, she tapped the table lightly with her right index finger.

Did the case encounter some minor setbacks?

Are there new disruptive clues in the case or have the two of them been stopped by the police?

It would be best not to be stopped by the police. Once this happens, it means that they have touched upon matters related to the organization.

When she thought about this possibility, Akikawa Sarina couldn't sit still anymore. She suddenly stopped what she was doing and stood up.

[Host, I still think you shouldn't get involved in this matter. ]

The system also saw the emails received by the host. Regarding the problems that Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda might encounter, the system has always had different opinions from its host.

【I know what you mean...】

Akikawa Sarana sighed, "But, Touko, some humans are like this. As long as they don't take the last step, they will always continue to struggle, and what if they succeed?"

The system felt that its host was deceiving itself, but after its recent observations, it realized that it could not continue to talk about it. It once again sighed, "Humans are really complicated creatures."

Akikawa Sarana ignored Tomoko's last routine sigh and sent the email she had just edited.

"Okay, off work."

As she spoke, she picked up the two envelopes that she had just sealed with invitation letters. This was a good opportunity to send the "ticket" to Bourbon to find out about the situation on his side. Some intelligence information was useless if you only read the text.
