Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 63 63, Sano: I’m really not a pleasure addict

Just when the man was a little surprised, two supermarket cashiers wearing the same work clothes passed by and whispered to each other.

"Have you heard that many people in our square have encountered strange things today? All kinds of things suddenly changed their positions and so on."

"Ah, I know, it happened to me too. I clearly remembered that I had put the receipt in the drawer, but when I looked back, it was back on the table. At first, I thought I had made a mistake, but then I put it in

Then I looked back and saw that I was back on the table again!"

"Oh my God, what is going on? Why do I feel so cold behind my back..."

The man who stretched out his neck and eavesdropped with his ears almost turned into antennas had a solemn look on his face. After retracting his neck, he touched his chin thoughtfully and his eyes rested on his cigarette case.

The man's name is Sukezo Nakajima. He is a reporter. He is responsible for a very unpopular supernatural report. He basically relies on urban legends and the like.

This industry is a niche one. You can't make big money, but you can make small money. To put it bluntly, you are just like most people, neither good nor bad, neither warm nor popular.

Originally, Nakajima Sukezo's life should have continued forever. Occasionally, he had no inspiration, so he could only forcefully ride on the popularity.

For example, there was a rogue organization called the Black Death that caused a stir a few days ago, and another example... the currently popular high school detective, Shinichiro Sano.

After learning about the incident at the entrance of the kindergarten from the police, Nakajima Sukezo immediately thought of the existence of the Rice Krispie Hammer Man, so he followed up with such a report. Unexpectedly, it ignited public opinion.

, make a lot of money.

Logically speaking, Nakajima Sukezo, who has tasted the sweetness, should seize this opportunity and take another bite of meat.

For example, I went to find out what Shinichiro Sano looked like and what kind of person he was, and no reporter had ever photographed his face until now.

Maybe I can take this opportunity to transform myself from a supernatural reporter into a gossip reporter.

But who would have thought that before Nakajima Suke Sando could fantasize, his boss informed him yesterday that he was not allowed to write anything related to Sano Shinichiro anymore.

This made Sukezo Nakajima feel uncomfortable.

It didn’t matter that the bright future was ruined. I still had to worry about what to write in tomorrow’s report, so I went outside to enjoy the wind and find inspiration.

However, Nakajima Sukezo never expected that reports would come to him on his own.

After taking out his notebook, Nakajima wrote a series of colorful titles with one stroke of his pen.

[Reporter's personal experience, super supernatural event - another invisible person!]

…

It was midnight, and Sano, who was still awake, looked away from the TV and realized that it was past twelve o'clock.

One day passed.

Are there no missions today, or...that boy Conan is out again?

At the end of the day, apart from experimenting with the effect of the passerby hat, Sano had nothing else worth paying attention to.

Oh, maybe those reports attacking Sano in the newspapers have disappeared, and they have turned into voices praising him.

My boss acted fast enough. Could it be that he bought a navy?

In addition, there was the report on the twins hiding corpse case last night. The final credit was still attributed to Sano, with a reputation of +10086.

Sano tilted his head, but didn't pay much attention, turned around and fell on the bed to sleep.

But when the second day passed and the third day was about to pass, Sano finally began to lose his composure and called the Mori Detective Agency.

"No one answered."

Sano frowned slightly. It was not dark yet. Logically speaking, Kogoro Mori should be in the office, so why would no one answer the phone?

Sano turned around and dug out the calendar page that he had torn out a few days ago in the trash can. He took a look at it and saw that it really happened to be a consecutive short vacation.

In this way, it is not a strange thing for the Maori family to go on a trip together.

Sighing, Sano turned to the next page of the calendar and found that tomorrow's date had jumped many days. Although it was still a holiday for students, he still felt relaxed.

Looking at it this way, the Maori family should be back tomorrow, so it's not a big problem.

Sano, who thought he had a definite result, stopped thinking about it, turned around and lay down to sleep.

It was not until a few hours later that Sano fell into a deep sleep, but waves of panic filled his heart.

Sano's brows frowned more and more, and finally he opened his eyes suddenly and sat up.

what's the situation?

Sano's head was covered in cold sweat and his throat was full of aches and pains. He looked around and realized that what woke him up seemed to be the system.

"Hey, the system task has been triggered."

[Please go to the target location and rescue colleagues who have fallen into danger due to carelessness. You will receive 100 strengthening points upon completion. The remaining time of the mission is - 0:31:08].

Have a mission?

When was it triggered?

Sano was still a little awake, rubbing his eyes while looking at the task. His colleague was... someone from the winery?

It was triggered more than twenty minutes ago, and the rewards are quite high. In addition to the long-term task of becoming a core member of the winery, this time the rewards are in the triple digits.

And this is the first time Sano has seen the system look so "urgent"...

Sano raised his eyebrows. He suddenly wanted to try what kind of impact it would have if he didn't do this task.

However, after Sano had an "inspiration", he quickly got up, turned on the light, packed up his equipment, and set off for the mission target location.

To be honest, when Sano was still studying in his previous life, he was often said to be hot for three minutes, think only one thing, fickle, etc.

And after Sano went on the road of no return, he accidentally heard a policeman say what he was, a pleasure criminal?

That seems to be the name.

Sano also looked up the meaning of this word. In his understanding, it is a criminal who believes that spiritual interests are far more important than physical interests.

In order to obtain pleasure, they can do whatever it takes, that is, happiness comes first?

Regarding such an evaluation, Sano was noncommittal, because he never believed that people are existences that can be defined. If he had to say it, it would be half right and half wrong?

After all, discussions on this kind of thing have never stopped for thousands of years in human history, and there has been no result so far. Sano certainly doesn't think he has that ability.

From Sano's point of view, he is just an ordinary person like most people.

Selfish, double standards, unprincipled, but in comparison, Sano's decisiveness is stronger.

Maybe it can also be understood as being a little more reckless?

As some people say, a person lives only a few decades, and no matter how much money he or she has received, it will only be a series of numbers after death. Therefore, there seems to be nothing wrong with putting your own spiritual interests first.

.

But then again, people still have to live for decades.

Not to mention whether you will starve to death without money, the premise of many spiritual benefits is that you need to spend money to obtain them.

Such as recharging games to buy skins, travel and sports, etc.

To put it bluntly, spiritual benefits and substantive benefits are interchangeable.

It's just that there are differences among individuals in terms of "exchange rate".

Just like Sano said before that he is a part-time worker in the system, isn't this the same for everyone in real life? When the boss asks you to do something you don't want to do, whether you should do it or not depends on whether the other party pays you enough money.

.

However, in the eyes of most people, it seems that in order to identify human needs for these two interests, human thoughts are divided into two types.

Rationality, wildness.

The police called Sano a pleasure criminal, which probably means that his wildness is stronger than his rationality.

But for Sano personally, he is somewhat dismissive of the idea of ​​dividing an individual into two things.

What is rational and wild? To put it bluntly, isn’t it still a personal idea?

Just like the human brain and heart, some movies have to create "brain thoughts" and "soul voices".

From Sano's point of view, every decision he makes is made by him personally and issued by his brain.

Regardless of whether this decision was influenced too much by the outside world, whether the starting point of this decision was for substantive interests or spiritual interests, it was his own decision.
