Chapter 20 - Chapter 20 Exploring the World

Apart from Qianshu Lian, everyone else returned to their normal work routines, while Qianshu Lian himself got lost in browsing information.

After quite a while, he finally snapped out of his immersion. During this time, Qianshu Lian finally discovered many things he had previously overlooked.

Or rather, did he truly overlook them?

The Detective Conan world could indeed be attributed to his oversight, but there were some worlds where he hadn't found any connections before, yet they somehow became inexplicably linked.

For example, there was news reported several years ago about a meteorite impact, with the impact site being a place called Itomori.

It was truly absurd. Such news, especially happening on Japanese soil and directly destroying a small town, yet he had completely failed to notice it before.

One must know that he was already carefully observing his surroundings at that time, as the rewards from the diary allowed him to act more quickly.

He wasn't oblivious to relevant information at that time; it was impossible for him to overlook such legitimate news reports.

But could such a thing really be completely overlooked by him?

Qianshu Lian found it utterly unbelievable. Therefore, Qianshu Lian decided to observe the specific situation first.

After all, Qianshu Lian was quite confident that even though he didn't have the Black Shadow Troops at that time, the money and other rewards from the diary's rewards might be an overstatement to say he could monitor the entire country.

But if it was just monitoring major events, there would be no omissions.

The Black Shadow Troops urgently infiltrated Qianshu Lian's home and began searching through old data, but they actually found relevant reports on some less important pages.

This made Qianshu Lian scratch his head. He had no recollection of it in his memory, yet these things actually existed.

It was as if his memory was faulty. Qianshu Lian temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Perhaps he really made a mistake. Hopefully, nothing else happens in this world!

Just as Qianshu Lian was engrossed, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly tapped his desk. With a bewildered look from Qianshu Lian, she handed him several stapled papers.

"This is a portion of the relevant plot that I just finished writing. I've already printed it out. Do you see anything that needs to be revised?"

Yukino Yukinoshita gazed at Qianshu Lian, forcing Qianshu Lian to take the papers from Yukino Yukinoshita's hand.

After a careful look, Qianshu Lian found that the plot written by Yukino Yukinoshita was actually quite heartwarming.

This was Qianshu Lian's assessment, after all—the final ending of this plot was leaning towards a happy one, completely failing to convey the feeling that the planner wanted people to try their hand at a tragedy.

"It needs to be written more tragically. After all, in the background design, the characters in the plot you're responsible for ended up like that. How can you say that their previous experiences ended on a not-bad note?"

Qianshu Lian gave his reasons, and Yukino Yukinoshita had no intention of arguing. She simply nodded and returned to her desk to continue pondering the relevant plot.

Qianshu Lian, meanwhile, watched Yukino Yukinoshita fall into contemplation. This former Service Club president now seemed to have completely integrated into his club, becoming a growing plot planner.

Why did it feel like he had led her astray?

As Qianshu Lian was lost in thought, Hachiman Hikigaya on the other side silently handed over a few sheets of paper. They were still warm, clearly just printed.

With experience, Qianshu Lian skillfully took the papers from Hachiman Hikigaya and began to read the plot description inside.

Good heavens!

This stuff was truly tragic! It was almost comparable to those players who, after being trained by miHoYo's planners, had learned to seek out tragedies for themselves.

If the Genshin Impact he was making still had its original age restriction, Qianshu Lian would absolutely not put this plot in. But since that age restriction was gone, then it didn't matter.

Qianshu Lian grinned and gave Hachiman Hikigaya a thumbs-up.

"Excellent! Just needs a bit more refinement, and pay attention to the logic. While reality doesn't need logic, our game creation still needs it!"

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded. He didn't even get up from his seat. Hachiman Hikigaya was confident in his humanities skills, especially when writing in a tragic direction.

Qianshu Lian didn't say much either. Given their friendship, there was no need to dwell on such matters, and besides, this was a school, not a company.

The Black Shadow Troops were still exploring the world as per Qianshu Lian's instructions. They needed to complete this mission without making contact with any forces.

For them, who moved through shadows, this was not impossible. As they continuously expanded their exploration range, the entire world opened its arms to Qianshu Lian.

Company plans, conspiracies, national secret research—nothing escaped the observation of the Black Shadow Troops. Countless secrets were unveiled before Qianshu Lian's eyes.

It wasn't until Qianshu Lian gradually discovered that this world was not at all what he had imagined—a composite anime world made up of various slice-of-life anime worlds.

Although from the very beginning with Detective Conan, it was clear that this was not a slice-of-life world, at that time, couldn't it still be explained by Conan's science?

It wasn't until the Black Shadow Troops sensed potential exposure risks in many places and chose to retreat, including the residence of Koizumi Akako, a famous magician from Detective Conan.

Only then did Qianshu Lian fully confirm that this world was not simple at all. However, at least the kind of crisis from the original School-Live! could not arise.

After all, just in this country, there were many places that could pose a threat to the Black Shadow Troops, which meant they could even single-handedly overcome the crisis from School-Live!.

After all, the combat power of the Black Shadow Troops was visibly strong. A group of endless, tireless, undying soldiers would be taken seriously unless one's strength was completely on a different level.

However, even with the Black Shadow Troops hiding themselves so effectively and avoiding places that might expose them, traces of their presence were still discovered.
