After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

Chapter 209 Bomb Disposal Game (2)

The man squatted on the ground with his head in his hands in despair. He had lost all the arrogance he had shown when facing the boy a few minutes ago. Instead, he said with horror, "You are killing people... You are a heartless murderer!!"

Hoshino Hitomi sneered as if she had heard a huge joke, "You just realized it now? Have I killed enough people? If you think it's not enough, it's not a bad idea to add you to the death line. Anyway, I only kill scum who are worse than animals."

She added calmly, "I haven't even finished my words yet. After you defuse this time bomb, the timer for the next time bomb will start, so you have to defuse the bombs fifteen times in total. If you don't, then you'll die."

The man knew he would not survive the day, so he just threw in the towel and cursed, "I don't know how to defuse a bomb! You want me to die on purpose, right? We didn't know each other before, and we had no grudges against each other. How did I offend you? If I am a scum worse than an animal, then you are an evil ghost even worse than a scum!"

Hoshino Hitomi said sarcastically, "You don't know how to defuse a bomb? Then just use the scissors to randomly cut the bomb's wires. But if you cut the wrong wire, it's game over. This is an important part of testing your luck. And even if you don't know how to defuse a bomb, you should have some understanding of its structure, right? If you want to do nothing and wait to die, I won't stop you."

She picked up a glass of lemonade on the table and took a sip leisurely, then said calmly, "We really didn't know each other before, but as to whether we have any grudges or not, that's hard to say. The power of the bomb will tell you the answer."

Seeing that there was not much time left on the timer on the bomb, the man did not bother to argue with the other party and picked up the pair of scissors on the table.

He swallowed nervously several times, aimed the blade of the scissors at a blue line, his heart instantly rose to his throat, and he closed his eyes and cut it.

"boom!"

Upon hearing the sound, the man immediately fell to the ground, holding his head tremblingly, and his face turned pale in an instant.

After a moment, he realized something was wrong and quietly opened one eye. He found that the bomb had not exploded. He immediately realized that the noise was made by the boy on the intercom. It was obviously meant to scare him...

His face turned pale and blue, and he picked up the intercom and yelled, "You bastard! You're scaring me to death!"

When Hoshino Hitomi saw the surveillance video, she almost laughed to death and then responded in a rude tone:

"Isn't he still alive? Weren't you very brave when you provoked the police? Why are you so timid now? Are you scared by the sound of an explosion imitated by someone? Besides, if you don't hurry, the bomb will explode. There are only twenty seconds left~"

Hearing this, the man immediately came to his senses, picked up the scissors in panic and cut off the red thread.

However, he was not so lucky this time. He cut the detonating cord at once, and the number on the timer turned to zero in an instant. The bomb exploded instantly, leaving him no chance to escape.

"boom--"

The man was blown four or five meters away before he came to a stop. The lenses of his glasses were shattered and his arms and legs suffered small injuries. Normally, he would not have fainted for the time being, but he had already fainted on the ground and was unable to get up.

Seeing that the man didn't move after a few minutes, Hoshino Hitomi simply provoked him: "Hey, this is just a basic bomb with the lowest power. Can't you bear it? Fortunately, I placed the bombs a little further apart, otherwise, judging from your luck, you would have been blown to pieces."

The man climbed up from the ground with great pain, picked up the intercom that was blown aside, and said in disbelief: "The bomb with the lowest power... Could it be that the further back we go, the more powerful the bomb will be?!"

Hoshino Hitomi smiled lightly and replied leisurely, "Congratulations, you got the answer right~ But unfortunately, there is no reward."

The man completely collapsed, "You bastard! When I get out, I won't let you go!!"

Hoshino Hitomi lazily leaned back on the comfortable and soft chair, and said in a rather arrogant tone: "Why don't you think about whether I will let you go or not? After all, it is still a question whether you can see the sun tomorrow."

*After one hour

After going through untold hardships, the man successfully defused all the bombs. Tears kept flowing from his eyes and he looked extremely excited, as if he had just returned to the human world from the eighteenth level of hell.

“I’ve finished dismantling it!!”

Seeing this, Hoshino Hitomi propped her chin on the table with one hand and poured cold water on him mercilessly: "I specially set up the programs for the remaining bombs. Of course, they will not explode just because one or two wires are cut. But you still took a whole hour to dismantle them. You are really useless."

"Do you want to know why I do this? Because the best way to torture someone is to give them hope first and then give them despair."

She said slowly, word by word: "If I want you to die, I can set up a program to detonate all the wires of the bomb, or I can just shoot you in the head when we meet."

"But I didn't do that, because I wanted to use your method... to kill you. There is no doubt that this is my revenge on you."

"Since you are dying, I will kindly tell you something. In fact, at the beginning, I planned to torture you severely and then hand you over to the police."

Hoshino Hitomi's voice became extremely cold, and she changed the subject, "But then I suddenly changed my mind. The reason was that the place where you placed the bomb happened to be my territory, and I didn't trust the police's ability. I wasn't sure if they would let you escape from prison one day in the future, so I had to cut the grass and root it out."

She continued expressionlessly: "You are the first person who dares to provoke me like this in my own territory. In order to retaliate against the police, you even put my people, subordinates, the police and other innocent ordinary residents in danger."

"Thousands of lives are being played with in your hands. Does this feeling make you feel particularly satisfied? Don't worry, you will experience that feeling soon."

After saying that, Hoshino Hitomi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a cruel smile.

When the man heard this, he instantly realized the other person's true identity. He sat on the ground helplessly, with the fear on his face almost overflowing.

Hoshino Hitomi took out the bomb remote control calmly and pressed the start button.

In an instant, the timers of the fourteen bombs started ticking again, and the numbers on the display screen also began to count down from six seconds. Every change in the numbers seemed to announce the approach of death.

Time passed by minute by minute, and six seconds went by in a flash.

In this brief moment, Hoshino Hitomi had already turned off the intercom with an expressionless face. In the last second of the surveillance footage, fourteen bombs exploded at the same time. The room where the man was was instantly destroyed and turned into ruins. In the end, the man was blown to ashes.

After the dust settled, Hoshino Hitomi sighed softly, but her heart was calm.

Xiaoyi: [Congratulations to the host for completing the special mission of saving Hagiwara Kenji and successfully preventing the criminal from detonating the bomb in the high-rise building! ]

Xiaoyi then added: [Because the host did not help the police catch the criminal, you can only get 75% of the points for this mission reward: 1125 points]

Hoshino Hitomi said in an ambiguous tone: [Indeed, after all, the criminals were blown to death, and that guy didn’t even leave any ashes.]

Over the years, Xiaoyi's whole heart has been devoted to Hoshino Hitomi like a believer, so no matter what she does, it will unconditionally favor her.

So after learning that a portion of the points for this mission had been deducted, it grumbled in dissatisfaction: [He deserves it! I really don't know how the main system detects it. It deducts the host's points. It's really infuriating! ]

Hoshino Hitomi smiled and said: [Well, if the main system hears you, you will be banned again.]

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyi immediately became more honest: [Okay...]

Xiaoyi then asked curiously: [Host, weren't you angry about Hagiwara Kenji's incident? How come nothing happened now...]

Hoshino Hitomi waved her hands helplessly: [I was scaring him on purpose. If I don't pretend to be angry, how can he learn his lesson? ]

After a moment of silence, she said with a complicated expression: [However, I was a little angry at the time. But in fact, I was more grateful, because to me, nothing is more important than life.]

[To me, being able to see the important people in my life alive and well is more important than any good thing in the world]
