Nancy cannot accept her fate as calmly as Matsumoto Ryohei, which is the source of her pain.
But the question now is, will Nancy be completely transformed into a ghoul?
If Nancy suddenly turns into a ghoul, will she eat Hondo Eiyu who lives with her?
Although ghouls are generally rational, Nancy herself said just now that suppressing one's nature for a long time may cause the person to lose the ability to think.
"Then how sure are you now about suppressing the ghoul's instinct?"
"Or can I take your pulse?"
Nancy: "Easy to bury?"
Qin Zhibo did not try to correct an American's pronunciation, "Yes, this is an ancient Chinese medical method. You can judge a person's physical condition through the pulse in his hands..."
Koizumi Hongzi, who was standing behind, was stunned for a moment. Qin Zhibo actually knew how to "take pulse"?
Koizumi Hongzi knows some Chinese culture, but not much.
The pulse signal she knows seems to be a magical technique that can tell whether a person is pregnant by placing her palm on her wrist.
Nancy didn't know much about the mysterious power in the far east. Qin Zhibo's words made her startled, but she still reached out her hand doubtfully.
"Is the left hand enough?"
"certainly."
But in fact, Qin Zhibo made a fuss. Traditional Chinese medicine requires both hands to take the pulse, because the meridians of the left and right hands are different and correspond to different organs of the human body.
But in fact, Qin Zhibo didn't want to take her pulse.
The handshake between the two parties just now was very short, so Qin Zhibo did not see any more character card information.
Now he wants to check what Nancy's current will value is.
Will is the key to resisting ghoul transformation. As long as the will value remains at a normal human level, even if the body is deformed into a ghoul, it will not have much impact on the brain and thinking.

(Evaluation: The involuntary ghoul)
…
With sufficient investigation time, all relevant information was revealed in Qin Zhibo's field of vision.
In terms of the basic attributes of the character card, Nancy's strength is obviously stronger than ordinary people, even surpassing Mao Lilan.
But correspondingly, his physique and will are relatively low, which should be a special case of being in a semi-ghoul state.
In terms of personal skills, Qin Zhibo could tell that Nancy's previous majors were psychology and chemistry, which should be related to her work at the FBI.
But the first two skills are something Qin Zhibo has never seen before.
Ghoul transformation should refer to her ability to transform into a ghoul at any time. The timing of the transformation may be related to her willpower, and the effect is similar to that of the Hulk.
And corrupt memory, what kind of skill is this?
Qin Zhibo withdrew his palm and said as deeply as an old Chinese medicine doctor: "Your current physical condition is not optimistic. I am afraid that there is a risk of change at any time."
For a normal person, a willpower of 40 is already easily frightened, such as: Mao Lilan, Aso Michiru.
And with a will of 35, if there is a slight mood swing, it will drop to 30.
According to Qin Zhibo's previous experience, if a person only has 30 will points, his mental state is already bad.
In other words, she is a time bomb living next to Hondo Yingyu.
Green Delta placed Bentang Yingyou next to Nancy, and Qin Zhibo was really dissatisfied with this.
After all, our father Yingyou also died for the mission of the organization. Doesn’t the organization even give preferential treatment to the family members of normal families?
Nancy seemed to have seen through Qin Zhibo's thoughts. She retracted her exposed wrists into her pajamas and said calmly: "To the organization, we are like disposable chess pieces. As long as there is no use value, we will be destroyed."
Being discarded without mercy.”
"Even though I am an embarrassed person who has been taken in by the organization, I am of irreplaceable importance to them. Otherwise..."
After listening to Nancy's words, Qin Zhibo seemed not to be absolutely devoted to Green Delta, and even had a sense of distrust.
The neighbor who passed by just now said that people in suits and ties often come to see Nancy, and they must be members of the Green Delta.
It's just that Qin Zhibo doesn't understand what irreplaceable value she can bring to the Green Delta without leaving home.
Judging from the internal layout of this room, there are some books and notes in the room. Is this work similar to document research?
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo asked: "What is your main job now? Is it convenient to disclose it?"
Nancy did not refuse to answer, and said: "My main job now is to study the book that caused me to be distorted, and to obtain information."
After studying the classics, Qin Zhibo got half of his guesses right.
But when she got the information, she was sitting at home. How did she get the information?
Although there is a big ass computer in the room, even if she is a hacker, her computer skills were quite low just now, which shows that her ability to use computers is not very high.
"Then how did you obtain the information?" Qin Zhibo asked the confusion in his heart.
Hearing this, Nancy was silent for a while, her eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
After a moment, she answered, "It's the ghoul's skills that give me the special ability to obtain information."
"As long as I am under hypnosis, I can recall the memory of the brain owner who was devoured by me..."
Nancy looked directly at Qin Zhibo and told him this appalling method of obtaining information.
"At the beginning, I hoped that the organization would help me restore my identity as a normal person, and a member of Delta was indeed trying to do this."
"But until they discovered this ability of mine, they treated me as a 'criminal investigation tool.'"
"The memories of those who died will continue to stir in my head, even if I want to refuse..."
Nancy's words made Qin Zhibo a little unbelievable, and Koizumi Hongzi behind him also showed a surprised expression after hearing this.
Although Nancy tried her best to outline the conditions for recalling memories, Qin Zhibo was still convinced of what he heard.
She needs to eat the client's brains.
As long as she eats the client's brain, she can recall the client's memories through hypnosis.
This should be the "Corrupted Memory" in Nancy's character skill column.
This is undoubtedly a very "advanced" means of obtaining intelligence.
Qin Zhibo had seen a similar method before, namely Mr. Clock's brain storage tube, which could completely cut off a person's brain and turn it into a machine that could answer all questions.
But this requires a high-precision surgery that is impossible for humans to complete, and it must be combined with Mi-GO's high-tech products.
This is simple and crude, just "eat" it.
This method is very practical for dealing with important informants who have died, such as Gin.
As soon as he learned of Ginjiu's death, Qin Zhibo thought of using necromancy to ask Ginjiu's soul to tell him the location of the boss's lair.
However, the spirit of the deceased channeled by spiritism does not mean that there is no spiritual intelligence at all, but that the spiritual intelligence is not high enough to communicate normally.
For example, the female ghost who was burned to death when she was channeled for the first time, the first time she appeared was to seek revenge on her murderer.
The channeled soul of Taku Itakura is also because Taku Itakura himself hopes that someone can dispose of the software he created.
In this case, it is absolutely impossible for Gin's soul to reveal any information about the black organization.
Moreover, Qin Zhibo's current level of psychic skills is not suitable for conducting too complex information exchanges.
But if it is a "corrupted memory", as long as Nancy eats Gin's brain, she can view Gin's memory at will.
Unfortunately, Gin has been dead for some time. The Metropolitan Police Department has probably cremated the body, and now all that is left is a pile of ashes.
As Qin Zhibo thought about it, he felt something was wrong.
If you think about it this way, it seems to be no different from using Nancy's Green Delta.
The act of eating brains will not only accelerate Nancy's transformation into a ghoul, but will also completely lose the chance of turning back into a human.
The key is that Nancy doesn't want to completely become a ghoul, so she is separated from the organization.
Another problem is that prions mainly exist in the nervous system, and the human brain is the center of the nervous system.
If you eat human brains for a long time, even if you don't turn into a ghoul, you will become a "zombie" after a prion attack.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but sympathize with Nancy's experience.
She didn't want to become a ghoul, but the external environment kept pushing her to take that path.
This kind of involuntary pain can only be understood by herself.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
"Actually, I have a friend who is in a very similar situation to your current situation." Qin Zhibo said.
Nancy's expression moved slightly, and her body straightened up slightly from the sofa she was leaning on, "This 'friend' you are talking about is not you, is it?"
Qin Zhibo: "...No."
Hearing this, Nancy's face softened a little and continued to ask: "So your friend is also in a semi-ghoul state?"
"So how is he doing now?"
Qin Zhibo replied, "He has completely turned into a ghoul now."
"He lives with other ghouls on an isolated plain. They eat together, live together, and live in harmony..."
Nancy's eyes were slightly dazed, her eyes flickering, and the surprise in her eyes was not concealed.
Ghouls are blasphemous scavenging creatures that are depraved, evil, and disgustingly deformed.
There are actually human beings who can accept themselves being transformed into them, and still live with them, living a life of consuming hair and drinking blood?
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Don't believe it?" The expression on Qin Zhibo's face was very sincere, "If you don't believe it, I can introduce you to meet him."
"But you have to think clearly, once you start to come into contact with real ghouls, the speed of turning into a ghoul will inevitably accelerate."
"How to choose? I can wait for your news in the past few days."
Qin Zhibo stood up, picked up a ball pen, and wrote his phone number on the note paper next to the table.
Before leaving, Qin Zhibo turned back and said.
"Sometimes, people are like ants, trapped by fate and unable to struggle."
“Since we can’t afford to struggle, should we choose to actively adapt?”
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion..."
…
At the entrance of the first floor, Qin Zhibo was saying goodbye to his hall Yingyou.
"Come on, live well in the United States and don't let your sister worry."
"Well! I will not disappoint everyone's expectations!"
Our hall Yingyou's face is full of smiles, as bright as a child's.
Qin Zhibo patted his shoulder like an elder, and left with Koizumi Hongzi.
When they walked to the front lawn, Koizumi Anko asked, "Are you planning to introduce Uncle Matsumoto to this woman?"
Qin Zhibo nodded, "Yes, but whether she accepts it or not depends on herself."
Koizumi Anko was silent, remembering what was said in the magic book that some witches once used ghouls as contracted creatures, and eventually she gradually became like a "dog".
In the end, the magic book did not say whether these witches turned back into human form.
In fact, Qin Zhibo proposed this plan not only to give Nancy a way to escape, but also had his own little selfish motives.
If Nancy leaves, Green Delta will have to arrange a new homestay for Yingyou.
The host family arranged next is more normal than this half-ghoul who may transform at any time, right?
Qin Zhibo looked back and saw Nancy standing behind the window on the second floor looking at him.
…
Back at the hotel, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi ordered room service and ate some pizza, French fries and the like for lunch in the room.
The two of them ate happily while watching the big TV in the room.
Since Koizumi Hongzi rarely watches TV programs, Qin Zhibo has the initiative to control the computer remote control.
He turned the TV to the news station and went through the major events in the United States in the past two days one by one.
Suddenly, a piece of news came into view.
"At midnight yesterday, the Phantom Thief Crow sent out another warning letter, saying that he would steal the black diamond in two days - the Black Crow in the middle of the night."
"The gem is currently being kept in the vault of the Star Casino, the largest casino in Las Vegas."
"The security director of Star Casino stated that from now on, they will improve security measures and make every effort to stop the Phantom Thief Crow..."
Seeing this news, Qin Zhibo's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, the Phantom Thief Crow would take action again so soon.
According to the agreement, he should also tell Kaitou Kidd the news.
…
At the same time in Japan, Kuroba Kaito was sitting at home, watching the web page introducing the news on the Internet.
Although he left the task of capturing the movements of the Phantom Thief Black Crow to Qin Zhibo, of course he himself could not slack off.
In the past few days, he has been paying attention to the news in Las Vegas, USA, just waiting for the Phantom Thief Crow to take action again.
Kuroba Kaito looked at the news page, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes reflecting the fluorescent screen were full of excitement.
