"...Congratulations...Master...for the strategy...Gin...the favorability level...points...currently...total favorability points: 100 points, the strategy is completed."

"Beep beep—restart successful—"

"Host!! I'll go back...fuck!!"

The system, which had been disconnected for a month and a half, was finally successfully restarted amidst the chaotic sound of electricity. As soon as I regained consciousness, I was so shocked by the sight in front of me that I almost went offline again.

Furukawa Kumisa knelt on the ground, Gin, who had been shot in the chest, gradually began to breathe weakly in her arms.

"What happened..." It looked at the gin in Furukawa Kumisa's arms and felt that the system had stopped.

No... wait... before it disconnected, the host seemed to be really coming to kill Gin?

Well, although the current scene is different from what was expected, at least...she succeeded?

"No...fuck!! Are you pregnant?? You have a baby??"

After being shocked, it immediately habitually detected the physical condition of the host. After scanning, the screams became even shriller, giving Furukawa Kumisa a headache.

Furukawa Kumisa, whose eyes were dull, finally moved slowly, as if he had just come to his senses: "...Yes, we have a child."

The system almost shut down: "???Who and whom?? You and me?? I am not, I am not!! Don't talk nonsense!!"

Furukawa Kumi was silent for a moment: "...who said it was with you?"

The system was frightened again: "Who is that with?? Gin???"

Wait... If we count it from the day it just disconnected... Calculate the time, it is indeed about the same...

"...'Yes, we have a child.' Do you remember the name of the prop, the fake pregnancy drug?" Furukawa Kumisa sighed, almost thinking that the system's IQ seemed to have been forcibly reduced to intelligence along with the forced shutdown.

.

The system finally reacted: "...that's it."

Then it looked at Furukawa Kumisa, then at the gin in her arms, and said after careful consideration: "Host."

Furukawa Kumisa's eyes never left Gin's bleeding face from the beginning to the end, and he was a little slow to answer questions.

"……Um?"

"...Do you want to save him? He still has his last breath."

Furukawa Kumisa's dull eyes finally moved: "Have you forgotten what I came to do?"

The system did not forget, "You are here to kill Gin."

"Then why do you think I will save him?"

The system answered quickly: "Because the system detected that the host's current emotional values ​​of 'happy' and 'satisfied' are not high."

It doesn't understand people's hearts, it only knows how to look at data.

Furukawa Kumisa smiled, but suddenly said another thing, "Send a message to Akai Shuichi."

This was an agreement she had made with Shuichi Akai at that time, and she would contact him through a single-line channel.

She guessed that Gin would search all the communication tools on her body, but at that time she was in charge of the system and had nothing to fear.

Unexpectedly, the system was forced to shut down on the first night, so I never contacted them for a long time.

They were probably going crazy.

*

When Akai Shuichi received the contact from Furukawa Kumisa, he took the nearest flight overnight and arrived at Kyushu, it happened to be early the next morning.

He led a group of FBI troops and surrounded the area near his destination, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw red blood on the horizon.

He didn't even have time to say hello to his men, and rushed directly towards the fire scene. Before he took a few steps, he saw a black figure standing in front of the burning single-family house in the distance.

When he arrived, the entire house was completely on fire. Even if the firefighters are dispatched now, by the time the fire is completely extinguished, there will probably be only a ring of steel skeleton left.

Furukawa Kumisa was standing in front of the fire scene. When he walked in, he realized that she had lost all her appearance.

In the early winter weather, she wore a thin nightgown and stood in the cold wind, her rugged eyebrows and eyes wrapped around the bones of her face, and she looked closely.

It's a bit scary.

Her bloodless pale face was reflected in a blood-red color by the firelight in front of her, like a character in a famous painting that was recast from the ashes and reborn from the ashes.

Akai Shuichi stepped forward: "You..."

Perhaps it was because she looked very weak now. It was obvious that they had not seen each other for a long time, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Furukawa Kumisa seemed to have just come back to his senses from a daze. When he saw Akai Shuichi next to him, his somewhat dull eyes moved and his lips curled up.

"...You're here."

Listening to her angry tone, Akai Shuichi's clenched hands trembled, and finally he reached out and put his arms around her shoulders.

"...I'm late."

Furukawa Kumisa's reaction was a little slow. She was stunned for a while and then shook her head: "It's not your fault, it's me who misjudged the situation."

She turned her eyes to the scene of the fire and said in a calm tone, without any emotion, "Gin died, his bones were shattered and his ashes spread."

She answered the question before Akai Shuichi asked. When she said this, her fingers subconsciously tightened the long coat she was wearing.

Akai Shu glanced at it. It was a long black windbreaker that didn't fit her very well. He could tell at a glance who the owner of the coat belonged to.

She was wrapped in that dress and stood in the cold wind, her whole body shivering.

Akai Shuichi gritted his teeth and reached out to wave away her coat. She seemed to stop him subconsciously and then let go.

With a "crash", the black windbreaker fell to the ground, not even raising a few wisps of dust.

Akai Shuichi put his coat on her, and Furukawa Kumisa did not refuse, and even leaned into his arms, as if he was instinctively absorbing the heat source.

But when Akai Shuichi wanted to reach out and take her into his arms, she took half a step back and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, she simply turned around without looking at the empty room behind her.

The black windbreaker that was swept to the ground was mixed with the dust on the ground, and the bleak evening wind in early winter swept through the clothes, leaving no trace.

Furukawa Kumisa fell asleep almost the moment she got in the car. Her exhausted body seemed to have reached its limit. In the long and steady sleep, she no longer even dreamed.

When she woke up again, she didn't feel as refreshed as after a deep sleep. She only felt that her whole body was still very tired, and she couldn't see clearly what was in front of her for a while.

"Are you awake?"

Suddenly, there seemed to be a voice coming from beside her. She was stunned for a moment before turning around. The first thing she saw was Haibara Ai beside the bed - or in other words, Miyano Shiho.

She had taken the antidote and returned to her original appearance. She was wearing a familiar white coat and standing beside her bed with her hands intertwined. She held a bottle of potion in her hand and seemed to be changing her intravenous drip.

She looked along the dropper and saw that she was holding the retention needle in her left hand.

"Your body is too weak and you have been unconscious for almost three days. I can only give you some glucose first." Miyano Shiho's voice was very calm. "In these special times, it is not convenient for you to stay in the hospital for a long time. We will give you some glucose after the examination." Brought you back."

She looked around and saw that it was indeed the environment in their safe house.

Furukawa Kumisa thought for a while and was about to speak, but his throat was so dry and sore that he choked and coughed: "Cough cough cough..."

The sound of her coughing probably alerted the people outside the house. The door was pushed open with a "clatter" and Fangtani Rei hurried in.

"Are you awake?"

Furukawa Kumisa finally finished coughing and held her chest to calm down, "...Yes, I'm fine, don't worry." Her voice was still a little hoarse.

Rei Fukutani walked to her bed and sat down. Before he could say anything, he heard Miyano Shiho let out a "hum" and began to list her symptoms in detail.

"Several organs throughout the body are failing, the muscles all over the body are loose and even partially degenerated, and the bones of the limbs are also partially atrophied due to disuse, and your child..."

"Ms. Miyano." Rei Fukutani interrupted her, "Can you please help bring the porridge downstairs? Now that she's awake, she should eat some normal food."

Miyano Shiho glanced at him, said nothing more, opened the door and walked out.

Furukawa Kumisa looked at Miyanoshi

After Bao left, she looked at the worried face of Jiang Guling next to her, and she sighed.

"Don't worry...my body will recover slowly."

Anyway, the system has come back. As long as she wants, she can return to a lively level in an instant. It's just that the gradual recovery process will not arouse suspicion.

Feng Gu Ling obviously didn't listen to her words. His mood seemed to have recovered from the joy he had just seen her wake up, and there was something in his purple eyes.

"...You said, two weeks at most."

She remembered the last night before she left, and she had indeed told Rei Furuya that she would be able to deal with Gin and return to them within two weeks at most.

She shook her head, "Sorry, there were some unplanned interruptions, which took a little more time."

Without the help of the system, it took her nearly two months to succeed.

Jiang Gu Ling looked at her calmly and continued: "You also said that you are not going to die."

Furukawa Kumisa sighed and reached out to hold his hand, "In fact, I came back alive, didn't I?"

However, Jiang Guling avoided her hand, looked at her blank eyebrows, and finally couldn't help but turn cold in his tone.

"There are signs of long-term injection of muscle relaxants into your body, but the dose is maintained at a safe dose and will not cause the sequelae of organ failure, which is caused by chronic poisons."

Furukawa Kumisa stopped talking.
