Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 9 Life is so difficult
Gin never bothered him again afterwards.
Maybe it's because I have work at hand.
In short, Nan Ling returned to the research group as he wished.
"The next goal..." Nan Ling counted on his fingers, "Besides slacking off, paddling, and getting paid..."
It seems like nothing happened.
"Oh no, no, we need to think about something more serious." Nan Ling rubbed his temple. "First of all, avoid seeing Shirley, Rye and Bourbon. It's best not to meet Kiel either. In short, stay away from all the undercover agents."
However, it is easy to deal with other people. Shirley and himself are both in the research group. How can they avoid it?
Shirley is under strict surveillance by the organization because of her parents and cannot get out, but with his identity, he is likely to join Shirley's core group in the future.
She is also a major plot character, so I have to improve her favorability. If I had met her at the winery, based on how much she dislikes the members of the organization...
He simply couldn't imagine how Shirley's favorability would be raised in the future.
Moreover, Shirley was the last one to leave the organization, and she would not leave until after the main storyline began. During the five years in between, as a member of the research group, he was almost certain to meet Shirley.
In comparison, it might be that the action team that he had always disliked was better at hiding their identities in front of the red team members.
Bourbon is a mystic, Scotch is about to die, Rye is a traitor in three years, and Kiel seems to have never been in Japan...
Hmm, now that I think about it, I should have just followed Gin before?
No, that won't work either. As a capable member of the organization, Gin is too conspicuous. If we act with him, we will definitely be noticed by the red team.
Ah this...
Nan Ling felt like crying.
"Besides that, we have to find a way to save Scotland."
This idea didn't come to his mind at the beginning. When he first came here, he couldn't even save himself, let alone save others.
But now, his position in the organization has basically stabilized, and he can finally take the initiative to do something.
The idea of saving Scotland came from his resentment towards the original novel - the scene on the rooftop was so depressing, three good guys forced one to death, and the degree of stomach-ache caused by misunderstanding was almost equal to that of a Qiong Yao drama.
Don't get me wrong, Nan Ling didn't put himself in the shoes of a good guy. He has always been very self-aware of his own good and evil, he just simply didn't like this plot.
Thinking of this, Nan Ling couldn't help but lower his head and smile.
Of course, he is not a good person - but the benefits of saving Scotland are obvious. It is not common to have the opportunity to gain favorability from three bottles of whiskey in one go, and it is even rarer to have the opportunity to hold something against Toru Amuro.
If he was just simply unhappy, it wouldn't be worth the risk for him to make a plan.
However, if Scotland is to be saved, it will inevitably affect the subsequent plot.
Nan Ling didn't want to do this because he was afraid that such a drastic change in the plot would affect every character that follows.
A butterfly flapping its wings in South America can cause a storm in the Pacific Ocean. Nan Ling doesn't want to be that butterfly.
He only had a general idea of the plot. He was not clear about many details. What if... what if his change this time caused the plot to get stuck, or even the death of a major character...
What should he do? Can he still relax and unwind?
Therefore, it is better to let the protagonists solve this kind of thing by themselves. They only need to save Scotland. When they see that Scotland is still alive, the misunderstanding will naturally be resolved.
Of course there is another reason -
Isn’t it fun to watch Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro fight?
"So, if we want to save Scotland, we must not let the other two know..."
It's quite difficult.
Because of this, Nan Ling became excited instead.
"A miracle of bringing the dead back to life...? Although we can't really do that, we can use some medicine... Why does it sound like a magic trick?" Nan Ling shook his head.
As of now, the great magician Kuroba Toichi is already dead.
Of course, Nan Ling knew that he was faking his death.
But apart from this, he actually didn't know anything else.
Speaking of which, he was quite attracted by the disguise technique that Hei Yu Dao Yi had mastered.
"I'll see if I can get some from Vermouth some time later... or just go find Kaito."
"Huh... we'll talk about the future later. Now..." Nan Ling looked up at Galliannu who was concentrating on the experiment, "Let's gain the trust of the organization first... and develop a fake death drug for Scotland. Maybe this drug will become even more magical in the world of science."
