I don’t know how long it will take to receive a mission. Fatal accidents are not everywhere like cabbage. Besides, Shiraishi heard that the security of the island country seems to be pretty good.
He looked at the lively and peaceful scene around him, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should regret it or not.
After receiving 50,000 yen and preparing to not open for a month and open for a month, Shiraishi lowered his gaze and looked at the last item: Random props [click to draw].
The four words in brackets have a visual effect of slightly protruding from the light screen, making people want to press down when they look at it.
But Shiraishi didn't touch it in the end.
Money can appear directly in your pocket, but props are not necessarily so. If you press it and a bunch of strange things fall from the sky and are seen by people around you, it's really hard to tell.
Shiraishi turned to press [Click Navigation]. Soon, the light screen refreshed to the GPS navigation interface. In the center of the screen, under the stick figure with the word "白石" above his head, there was a road rendered in blue, extending into the distance.
The end point is nearly three thousand meters away from here, not too far.
Shiraishi Quan should exercise, and while walking that way, he was thinking about what kind of house the system would give him.
He has signed a contract, so he should be considered an employee within the system, and his salary should not be too bad.
Will it be a wooden stand-alone house with a heater?
Covered with Japanese tatami mats?
How about a small courtyard with century-old cherry blossom trees? And a few gardeners and maids to help take care of the yard?
...the more I think about it, the more I look forward to it.
Shiraishi's pace gradually quickened. Half an hour later, he arrived at his destination.
Then he looked up at his new home and slowly spit out a question mark: "?"
Displayed in front of Shiraishi was an ordinary three-story building.
There is a restaurant on the first floor. The clean window has the words "Poirot" and "coffee" on it. It is probably a cafe called Poirot.
The second floor has large windows and looks like a shop, while the third floor above is an ordinary residence.
The system was not so generous as to give him the entire building, but only the shops on the first floor.
Of course, Shiraishi didn't have any objection to the size of the site.
What he cares about is...
Why are there such big words "Maori Detective Agency" posted on the second floor!
Shiraishi is not a geek, let alone a big shot who has read countless comics. But of his generation, even if he has not read the complete series, he must have heard of this well-known manga that has been serialized for more than 20 years and has defeated countless long-form comics.
After recalling the setting of this comic, Shiraishi looked haggard. If he had known that such a day would come, when his cousin asked him to 'review the classics' a few weeks ago, he should have followed her and read the entire series!
Shiraishi only watched this anime seriously when he was a child.
More than ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
Until now, he can at most remember some of the characters and world view.
Thinking about it now, the reason why he was able to successfully connect to Hitomi Hirokawa's murderous brain circuit before was probably because he had seen this plot before and had an impression of it in his subconscious.
To put it simply, you forget the content, but you still remember the corresponding logical circuit. Therefore, when you see key items and key scenes, you will automatically straighten out the cause and effect, as if "it's all clear in one click".
Well, now that the background analysis is over, it’s time to face reality.
——So this is not the "rebirth of the island nation's struggle history" as he previously thought, but the world of Conan where people die every day??
Shiraishi sighed slowly.
The good news is that in this world, there will never be a shortage of murders. His previous worries about not receiving the mission were completely unnecessary.
The bad news is...
A group of gods of death are stepping on my head every day. I am afraid that if I am not careful, even I will be killed by the protagonist.
However……
What can I do if I worry?
That sentence is well said, it has come...
He looked towards the second floor again, where the curtains were drawn to block the sun, and the interior could not be seen clearly from Shiraishi's point of view.
After staring at the words on the glass with mixed emotions for a while, he withdrew his gaze, walked to the coffee shop, and pushed the door open tentatively.
The door is unlocked and opens with a push. After walking into the store and looking around, you can see dining tables and chairs neatly displayed in the hall. Behind the counter, kitchen utensils and tableware are also available.
But there was no one in the room. Not only the customers, there was not even a shop assistant. It looked like it was closed.
Shiraishi walked around the shop with bright and clean windows several times. Finally, he walked around the counter and found an inconspicuous small door on the right wall with a key in the lock.
After turning the key, unlocking the door and walking in, Shiraishi saw as expected that there was a house behind the shop.
This house is nearly 60 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room, with separate toilets and bathrooms. At a glance, it is basically complete with furniture such as coffee tables, sofas and cabinets.
The study and bedroom were covered with tatami mats, and the rest of the room had wooden floors. Shiraishi closed the door and smelled a faint smell of detergent filling the room.
Stepping into the entrance hall, he picked up the notice "Pest removal completed" lying on the ground and put it on the shoe cabinet aside. Shiraishi looked at the house and felt a lot more at ease.
As a Chinese citizen, it is true that he still needs his own land to feel at ease... Although the land is rented, rounding it off, he can be considered a house owner.
Shiraishi breathed out a sigh of relief and walked to the kitchen, wanting to pour a glass of water to calm his shock. However, when he opened the cupboard, he found that there was no teacup or bowl inside.
Shiraishi was not polite to him at all. He turned around and went to the store to get a mug, rinsed it a few times and poured water on it. He returned to the room and walked to the sofa with it.
After lying comfortably on the sofa for a while, Shiraishi straightened up and looked at the two document bags neatly placed on the coffee table.
The bag was made of brown kraft paper and felt neither thick nor thin. Shiraishi opened the top one first and took out two documents from it.
One was a shop rental contract with a one-year time limit. Shiraishi read it briefly, put it aside, and opened the next one.
This is a short-term employee contract, also signed for one year. The content is generally fine, but the salary...
"For every 30 days of actual work, you have to pay 1 'crystal'? What is this?" Shiraishi subconsciously checked his backpack, but it was empty without any novice props.
He paused and turned to the currency interface.
This time, I did see a column that said "Crystal", but the quantity marked behind it was 0. Shiraishi stared at it for a while and poked it a few more times, but no explanation came out.
Are there any features that haven’t been unlocked yet?
Shiraishi tried calling his assistant twice more, but received no reply, and no Q-version villain poked his head out from behind the screen. So he gave up - he would know sooner or later anyway, and it wouldn't take long.
Even if he thought about it carefully, even if he didn't know, there would be no problem - he could not hire employees, lock the door of the store and treat it as a simple suite. Anyway, the mission would reward currency.
Quickly using salted fish thinking to solve the problem, Shiraishi put the information back into the bag.
At this time, he accidentally glanced at a corner of the employee contract. On the signature spot of Party B, there were three neat and elegant words: Butterfly Forbearance.
Shiraishi recalled the characters in the world of Conan, but he couldn't remember that this person existed in the main plot.
It's a rare name, it sounds like a ninja... The system probably won't really send a ninja to help.
