MTL - When I Bind the Plot Maintenance System-Chapter 72
Zhu Fukongliang, 17 years old, a sophomore at the Romance Academy, has been bound to a system called "Story Maintenance" since he was a child, and needs to do various tasks to maintain his unstable world.
It should have been such a development, but he later picked up the remains of the slate of another world. The energy overflowing from the rubble prevented the system from harming him, and then helped him stabilize the world in a slower, more stable and safer way. Protect this happy and happy world.
The method is not limited to having friends in another world, not touching dangerous objects that minors should not touch, running away after completing the task, and trying not to directly contact relevant personnel.
Rather than doing tasks, it is better to say that Zhu Fukongliang is "playing".
Therefore, Zhu Fukongliang has never felt any other pressure besides his own inborn hypersomnia.
until now.
The shards of the slate were contained in the Gomori, and they had always tried their best to fulfill the wishes of mankind—so it was not impossible that their own power would begin to deplete after fulfilling their wishes.
To put it simply, the power of the little stone has begun to make ends meet, and Zhu Fu Kongliang can no longer continue to "play" under his protection. He has to really start to do some serious tasks, so that the little stone can accumulate power again.
This time, it can't be as easy as before.
Zhu Fukongliang realized this, and he could even feel the apology of this inhuman existence through the guardian. He is obviously not a human being, and he doesn't understand the emotions between human beings, but he will give everything for human beings.
Perhaps it is precisely because he is non-human that he can give himself to this, even if he is destroyed by the human beings he loves.
This is also Zhu Fukongliang, the first time to truly realize what the plot is.
Without the complete protection of the slate, Zhu Fukongliang stood downstairs at the Maori Detective Office, looked up at the sign above, and blinked slowly.
The protagonist of the "plot" is a high school student of the same age as him - but in his world, this protagonist, who is now a year younger than Miyano Shiho, has not yet reached the time for the plot.
"Kudou, Shinichi." Zhu Fukongliang murmured the name in a low voice.
Kudo Shinichi, the savior of the Japanese police, a famous high school detective who has solved countless cases for the police. As a result, at the age of 17, after dating his childhood friend Maurilan at an amusement park, he was smashed in the head and fed an unknown drug, and then he became a primary school student and is now temporarily living in the Maori detective agency.
Yes, Zhu Fu Kongliang has now come to a new world—a whole new world that is different from every world in the past.
This world, like his own, is unstable. As the protagonist, Shinichi Kudo should be smooth sailing, but now, the thing called "protagonist halo" in manga and light novels has almost disappeared.
And the original plot has changed a lot from the beginning.
People who were supposed to be friends have become enemies, and the "story" that was supposed to be safe after a thrilling adventure may turn into an "accident".
As for the timeline, it has become an "unfamiliar future" for Zhu Fukongliang.
Now this world, for Zhu Fukongliang, is five years later. And after noticing the time, Zhu Fukongliang's first reaction was - is the fan and comics he chased over?
It seems to be off topic. In short, this time Zhu Fukongliang's task is to protect the protagonist and maintain the plot as it was originally.
The difficulty of the task can almost be said to be a five-star **** level, but it is precisely because of the difficulty that the energy obtained by the small stone will be a lot more than in the past. In a sense, it is also an equivalent exchange.
Zhu Fukongliang's advantage is that he has experience in multiple worlds, and he knows some interpersonal relationships, so it is not difficult to confirm the status of other people.
First of all, he went to Nagano and saw the murder of the Nagano couple in the newspaper, but at the same time, there was one more report in the newspaper than the world of good friends.
- The youngest son of the family disappeared after this murder, and his life and death are unknown.
In other words, Brother Jing Guang of this world has disappeared.
Then Zhu Fukongliang went to the location of Miyano Hospital, but that hospital had long since been abandoned, and it seemed that it had not been inhabited for a long time.
The Miyano family is missing.
Zhu Fukongliang knew where Jiangguling's home was, and he took a look. Jiangguling was also missing, and even compared to several other people, Zhu Fukongliang couldn't be sure when he disappeared.
At the same time, newspapers did report two explosions in the past, but Kenji Hagihara was not among the police officers who died in the explosion seven years ago, and the police officer who died in the Ferris wheel three years ago was not Jinping Matsuda.
Matsuda's father was wrongfully imprisoned more than 20 years ago, the Hagihara family moved because of bankruptcy, and Zhu Fukong Ryo couldn't find the current location of the two people.
All his buddies with whom he could contact have disappeared.
Zhu Fukongliang knew that he probably couldn't ask anything when he went to his eldest brother. Instead, he still needed to explain his identity. At present, the only goal that could be clarified was Kudo Shinichi, who became smaller.
Zhu Fukongliang looked at the logo of the Maori Detective Agency, and suddenly heard a female voice from the side: "Excuse me, do you have any commission?"
Zhu Fukongliang turned his face to the side, and saw a beautiful and gentle high school girl wearing a school uniform.
Zhu Fukongliang put him on the phone with Mao Lilan in his mind, and replied, "Yes."
A slight smile appeared on Mao Lilan's face: "Dad is not at home now, if you don't mind, please come up and sit first?"
Mao Lilan led Zhu Fukongliang to the second floor of the Maori Detective Office, let Zhu Fukongliang sit on the sofa in front of the tea table, and asked, "What would you like to drink? There is black tea and orange juice."
"Ordinary water, thank you." Zhu Fukongliang replied politely.
Mao Lilan took a glass of water and put it in front of Zhu Fukongliang, then sat on the other side and briefly asked about related matters: "Dad may be back a little late, if there is anything else, you can explain it to me first. , I will tell him later."
"It's just a very ordinary commission." Zhu Fukong Liang casually found an excuse: "My name is Nozaki Umetaro, the school and the place where I live are not here, but I heard that Maori detectives are very good and can complete any commission. Came here in admiration."
"My commission is..."
Just when Zhu Fukongliang was about to say the entrustment, the door was pushed open, and the childish voice of a child rang: "I'm back! Sister Xiaolan!"
After Edogawa Conan walked into the room, he noticed the outsider at first sight—Zhufu Kongliang was the same age as Mao Lilan, and his appearance was also the best. Most importantly, he was a man.
Almost instantly, Zhu Fukong Ryo discovered Edogawa Conan's defense against him.
Ah, being hated by the protagonist to protect. Zhu Fukongliang thought casually on the side.
Edogawa Conan grabbed the corner of Mao Lilan's clothes and asked sweetly, "Who is he, Sister Lan!"
"Conan, you can't be so rude-" After Mao Lilan said this first, he said, "He is Dad's client... Really, where is Dad? Do you know, Conan."
Edogawa Conan shook his head obediently, and after confirming that Zhu Fukong Liang was not his rival in love, he relaxed his vigilance, although he still paid attention to the distance between Zhu Fu Kong Liang and Mao Lilan.
"Big brother, what do you want to entrust?" The sweet tone couldn't tell that he was a high school student at all.
"I have an older brother." Zhufu Kongliang did not regard Edogawa Conan as a real child, and spoke calmly.
On the contrary, Edogawa Conan was a little surprised. After all, most people would despise and ignore him because of his childish appearance, and would not explain the situation to him so seriously.
So Edogawa Conan couldn't help but take it seriously.
Zhu Fukongliang continued: "He is missing, I want to know his current location."
Edogawa Conan was stunned for a moment, while Mao Lilan widened his eyes worriedly: "Have you called the police? How long have you been missing?"
And Edogawa Conan noticed a little more than Maurilan. He noticed Zhu Fukong Ryo's wording, not to find the other party, but to "know the other party's location". Such a tone does not sound like a younger brother who is worried about his older brother.
"I've been missing for 22 years." Zhu Fukongliang replied.
Edogawa Conan: ...As expected.
Mao Lilan was surprised: "Huh?"
Zhu Fu Kongliang lowered his eyes: "My real name is not Nozaki Umetaro, this is the name given to me by the couple who adopted me."
Zhu Fukongliang didn't even blushed when he lied, he said, "I always knew that I had relatives, and I didn't really care that I was adopted by my current parents."
"I always thought that their lives were stable and happy, and I didn't want to disturb them. Until some time ago, when I flipped through the newspapers in the past, I accidentally discovered that my brother had been missing for 22 years." Zhu Fukongliang said: "I do not I don’t want to disturb their current life, just knowing whether the other person is living happily is enough.”
He needs to get in touch with the protagonist of this world, so there must be a reason. And the missing Zhufu Jingguang is the best reason.
Maurilan watched Maori Kogoro do so many commissions, and it was not difficult to realize how tricky this commission was: "That, Nozaki-kun, do you have more information? I'm sorry to say that...but 22 years are too long. It's been hard to find after a long time."
Zhu Fukongliang took out the newspaper from 22 years ago and put it in front of the two, "I know."
"So I'm just here to try it out, and it's okay if I can't find it."
Looking at the cat's-eye boy who was lost (and didn't), Mao Lilan suddenly softened his heart: "We will try our best to find relevant information!"
Edogawa Conan, who was standing on the side, still saw more information. He looked at the case in the newspaper and asked suspiciously: "The couple died 22 years ago... Brother Nozaki, you should not have been born at that time, right? So he is not Your biological brother?"
"Well, no." Zhu Fu Kongliang replied honestly: "But what must be said, he and the other brother are my last relatives in this world."
Edogawa Conan stopped talking, and the glasses on his face reflected at this moment, making it difficult to see his eyes at the moment.
I always feel as if I have overlooked some important information... The little detective thought so in his heart.
