"Don't worry too much about time." Grandpa leaned on the wicker chair and took a sip of black tea. "We have another technology. Not many people have heard of it, so you don't need to come into contact with it for the time being... You just need to know that we can already have it.
A way to preserve the body for a long time.”
"..." Don't care about time?
Shiraishi seems to have found another way, maybe he can try to usurp the throne, and then slowly separate the family from the organization.
But it is unrealistic to think about it. Let alone the delicate operations required to break away from the organization, it is difficult to say whether Grandpa Guang is willing to delegate power. At least for now, it seems that he has no intention of being the boss.
Moreover, with Grandpa's age and physical condition, he is fully able to live until the first year of Conan, and continue his life indefinitely until he is caught or killed...
In short, the "company" must not be entered. As for the things studied in it, if he is caught, he, the little leader, may stay in prison until the end of time.
And that’s the problem again. The family and the system can probably only choose one. Shiraishi remembers that when he was bound for the first time, there was an evaluation process. In other words, if you want to leave the system as a fallback, you need to maintain your behavioral ethics.
A certain level.
However, if you can delay it for a few years, keep pushing the time back, be a salty fish in the water, and then survive until the first year of Conan, and finally let the system earn enough money in an infinitely extended year, and then bind it,
Maybe it's possible.
Procrastinating for time also requires skills.
At this time, he was suddenly asked to postpone his entry into the company. Depending on his current level of impatience, he might have refused directly, or even forcibly arrested him to take over.
Shiraishi thought for a while and decided to try sliding to the bottom line first and then moving up. Everyone knows this basic negotiation skill, but this still does not prevent it from being effective.
So Shiraishi said firmly: "I will not join the company."
Grandpa frowned, and the sense of oppression suddenly became stronger: "You were raised by the family. This is your responsibility and your mission."
"You can take it back when you grow up." Shiraishi sat up straight and assumed a posture of "Then I'll take care of you."
According to common sense, grandpa probably won't kill him with one shot, but he will be very angry. We can slowly discuss the delay in joining the company at that time.
Of course, when dancing in the minefield, Shiraishi also secretly adjusted his posture and always observed his grandfather to ensure that if the old man tried to draw a gun/take out a knife/throw a cup as a sign, he could immediately rush over and hug him.
I can call you grandpa.
Grandpa's face did become very ugly, and he stood up suddenly, not knowing whether he wanted to do domestic violence or slam the door and leave.
But before that, his cell phone rang.
Grandpa looked down at the caller ID and walked out of the room with a straight face.
Because one person was suddenly missing? This conversation was fruitless.
As a result, the conversation stopped for several days.
Something happened again at grandma's side. From old age to death it seemed that it only took a moment, and the top team invited by grandpa could not change life and death.
Finally, Bai Shi and Du Linbiao were waiting outside. They saw grandpa bringing a few strangers in. When they came out, in addition to a stretcher, there were also people carrying a precision square box.
Du Linbiao's attention was entirely on the stretcher bed. Baishi glanced at it and then looked at the box he had seen in the laboratory. Within a few seconds, it turned around with the person carrying it and completely disappeared from Baishi's sight.
inside.
Grandpa came out a step later. He walked for a while and looked at Shiraishi.
The old man's eyes were different from before, clearly showing fatigue, but the persistence and fanaticism inside him also emerged more deeply.
Shiraishi was startled by his stare. He originally thought that his grandfather was going to say something to him. For example, "Get out of here and take over the company immediately"...but no.
Grandpa stayed like that for a few seconds. Did he come to his senses after a while? He said to Shiraishi, "Take care of the rest," and then left.
Shiraishi responded, but after looking around for a moment, he found that there wasn't much he could do around him - grandpa's assistant was still here. At this time, he was talking to the doctor with a clear head. He was handling everything in an orderly manner, without Shiraishi.
What's up.
Shiraishi then guessed that grandpa was just looking for something to say, and the subtext was that he wanted to get away from other people and have some quiet time.
So Baishi didn't realize that he was going home right away. Instead, he found something to do for himself, such as dragging Du Linbiao, who was in worse condition than his grandfather, aside from the door of the ward to prevent him from blocking the way.
After taking care of the hospital affairs, on the way home, Bai Shi thought about his grandfather's leaving figure and sighed.
Looking at today's situation, Grandpa didn't even need to say a word to know that his paddling plan would encounter unprecedented obstacles.
At this time, it is best to take the initiative on your own, for example, first agree to join the so-called "company" for an internship, but do not sign a contract or name your name. After a few days, grandpa's pain of losing his wife has eased, and then continue paddling...
Taking into account his grandfather's vigorous and resolute style, Shiraishi decided to prepare scarves, masks, hats and other protective equipment in case he was dragged to the company as soon as he opened his mouth and had no time to prepare.
At this time, you can let the Q version assistant earn some money by the way, and the money must be accumulated over time.
Baishi opened the bedroom door: "Q, help me find..."
The room was empty and no one was in the bedroom.
...I'm afraid I ran out to dig through the trash can again.
Shiraishi was silent for a moment, placed the disinfectant in a conspicuous place, and reminded the Q version assistant to disinfect consciously when he returns.
He went to the closet to find things he might need, packed them up, and went to his grandfather's study. Just as he was about to knock on the door, his grandfather pushed the door open. After seeing him, he paused slightly and got out of the way: "Come in."
Shiraishi froze as soon as he took a step inside.
...There is something strange on Grandpa’s desk.
"Come in." Grandpa repeated again.
Shiraishi took another step forward.
Originally, he planned to propose an "internship without a name" as soon as he came in, so as to block his grandfather's soul or coercion and inducement.
But what he didn't expect was that the old man would move so fast.
——There is a transparent cover on the desk. The shell is light green and very transparent. The entire cover is about the size of a human head. Inside...
There is indeed a human head on it.
"..." This hairstyle looks quite familiar.
Bai Shi stood at the door, watching his grandfather walk to the table, reaching out his hand, and turning the transparent cover that originally faced the window little by little.
Inside is the head of the Q version assistant.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no body underneath and just the face, this head would be quite alive and wouldn't look much like a corpse.
Shiraishi couldn't tell for a moment whether this magical effect was because Q was a system or because the organization had mastered some kind of black technology.
The person was probably killed immediately. Shiraishi pressed his nose and thought, no wonder the people who came here always smelled like blood.
He originally thought that grandpa had done some strange thing to grandma's brain, but he didn't expect that the old man was so creative.
"She can't be considered 'dead' yet." Grandpa sat back on the boss's chair, leaning on the armrests with his elbows, looking at Shiraishi through the human hood.
