Travelling Frog

Chapter 61

The phone screen is intact, without a single crack. Generally speaking, if it is not cracked, it is impossible for it to leak electricity. My finger was not placed on the charging port just now, so the source of the electric shock must be the screen.

Hojo Natsuki glanced at the wool sweater on his body. Sweaters are prone to generating static electricity... But isn't it too counterintuitive to discharge static electricity on a mobile phone screen

He was in a trance for a while, and finally decided not to think about it too much. Maybe he was too tired from working overtime recently, and his mind was in a trance and he had illusions. Maybe his finger just touched the charging port and was shocked at that second. He lost his memory instantly, so he thought he was shocked by the screen.

After convincing himself with a seemingly reasonable excuse, Hojo Natsuki returned to the game.

Gougou KO Qinwa, winning without fighting, and successfully got the only hairband in the house.

Now, the trophy was lying obediently in Gougou's palm, and the frog lay back on the bed, flipping through the bedtime book that it never got tired of reading.

The frog gave in so easily that Hojo Natsuki became alert.

[Natsuki]: So easy to talk to

[Natsuki]: Is it because you dislike the hairband I touched

[Gin]:…

Qinwa pressed the book down a little and said expressionlessly: "Yes."

Hojo Natsuki: “?!”

hateful!

He opened the mall and bought a pink hairband.

[Natsuki]:I take one from you, and I return one to you

The frog didn't express any opinion about the color of the hairband verbally, but the corners of its mouth twitched slightly, expressing its disgust with its expression; it might throw it away after he left, or it might just keep using it because it was too lazy to buy a new hairband. In either case, it wouldn't be surprising for the frog to do so.

Hojo Natsuki put the black hairband used by [Kinoshita] into his backpack, controlled the puppy Boss to pick up the newly bought pink one, and tried to tie a small braid on the dog's head.

However, the two tufts of white hair it could barely gather on its forehead were simply not enough to support the width of the hairband, and it failed every time it tried.

Hojo Natsuki thought for a moment, opened the dressing interface, and put on a sad frog version of Pikachu headgear; the so-called sad frog Pikachu is a green headgear with the appearance of Pikachu (ears, body outline, lightning tail) and a sad frog's mean expression.

After putting on the new headgear, tie the two Pikachu ears together with a pink rubber band. At this time, the dog hook looks like a mutant ugly rabbit with knotted ears.

[Natsuki]: Look!

[Gin]:…

[Gin]: What are you doing again

Hojo Natsuki was very proud.

[Natsuki]: I've used your new rubber band before.

[Gin]: … …

Because he was too crazy, Qinwa didn't show the kind of contemptuous look he gave to idiots, and was even surprisingly calm.

[Gin]: Got it, go away

[Natsuki]:

[Natsuki]: Your attitude is terrible. I won’t leave.

The frog's response was to throw the book away, raise its paw to turn off the bedside lamp, cover itself with the quilt, turn over, and go to sleep, with an attitude of "Whatever you want, I'm going to sleep anyway."

Hojo Natsuki seriously considered whether to let the puppy Boss go into the bed of the frog.

After thinking for three seconds, he gave up.

It’s not because he’s afraid of making the frog angry by doing this. It’s inevitable that it will get angry. It might get furious, throw the dog out, or slam the door in anger. The script is very clear about this, and this episode has already been shown once. Therefore, the reason why Hojo Natsuki hesitated was not because of this. He just had an inexplicable premonition - maybe, something unexpected will happen, a shock rather than a surprise...

Let’s talk about it next time.

Hojo Natsuki made this decision happily.

Late at night in Yokohama, the sky outside the gauze curtain is a tranquil dark blue, like a calm sea.

He also turned off the lights, put his phone on the bedside table, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

distance

It has been more than three years since Dazai Osamu defected, and Port Mafia's hunt for him is still continuing on the surface, but in fact, there is only one person who is really trying hard to find Dazai's whereabouts - his former disciple, the person who most longs for Dazai's recognition, Akutagawa Ryunosuke. And after so long, Cadre A, whose only thing to be seen on his body is the balance in his bank card, is still occupying the position of cadre, causing trouble for the real cadres from time to time.

"I can't stand it anymore," said Hojo Natsuki. "Mr. Mori, if you don't find someone capable to share my work, you will lose me forever."

Mori Ogai had heard similar speeches many times and was no longer surprised, but he still cooperated and pretended to be panicked: "What's wrong, Natsuki-kun? Are you too tired recently? Take care of your health. I'm already looking for new candidates for the leadership..."

Hojo Natsuki sighed.

Forget it, I'll just work for a few more years. I have nowhere else to go anyway.

Three years after three years, he held this cadre position from the age of fifteen to twenty-one, and he was really tired of it.

Perhaps there will be a turning point in the near future.

It was an ordinary December, most of which was spent working overtime.

On this day, when Hojo Natsuki came online and opened the [Simulation Business], system messages popped up like crazy video barrages, all of which were reward announcements.

He was a little confused. He was too busy recently and didn't bother with the employees. The organization was fully handed over to Rumquat. Logically speaking, Rumquat was a prudent person and would not do anything big without his permission...

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the twisting car advertisement has passed review and is online!

[Dear [Frog Organization] Boss, your advertisement has become popular among elementary school students in Tokyo since it was aired! ]

[The melody of your advertising soundtrack is magical and catchy, and has been widely spread among young people in Tokyo! ]

[[Little Pond Toy Factory] Public Favorability 10]

[[Small Pond Toy Factory] Popularity 20]

[Congratulations on unlocking the bronze achievement [Excellent Marketing Genius]]

[Congratulations on unlocking the silver achievement [Viral Marketing Genius]]

Hojo Natsuki: “?!”

Is the effect really that good

The order volume and sales of the Twist Car Factory also grew rapidly, but the amount of money has never excited Hojo Natsuki, and the virtual currency in the game is even less so. Therefore, he scanned the lines one by one and sorted out the mailbox filled with system rewards. He didn't have much idea about the fact that "the advertisement is really popular".

However, there are important rewards related to the "main storyline", which must be taken seriously!

There were several intelligence emails marked with star-shaped flags.

[intelligence]

[Konan, [Edogawa Conan], this is a pseudonym]

[[Edogawa Conan], the lucky child of this world, is both the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era and the walking god of death]

[intelligence]

[[Conan] will not die, the conspiracy to harm [Conan] will inevitably fail, and the black side who is the enemy of [Conan] will inevitably fail. This is the underlying logic of [Red vs. Black]. ]

Hojo Natsuki frowned.

What the hell? Does this mean that this "Conan" is the protagonist? So even the game calendar is named after his pseudonym.

A game can only have one protagonist, and that is the player!

He thought: "I always feel unhappy. Why don't I just give up the organization and try to get rid of the 'Son of Luck'?"

No, maybe this is the real purpose of the game, to let the player join the villain's camp at the beginning and guide the player to find a way to defeat the original protagonist... He thought he had seen through the production team's little tricks and calmed down again.

[intelligence]

[[Edogawa Conan] was originally named [Kudo Shinichi Chicken]]

Hojo Natsuki suddenly perked up: "!!"

The most effective piece of information is here!

Very good, this little silver bullet, no matter what breed of chicken it is, there will be no secrets in front of him.

Hojo Natsuki searched in his backpack for a while.

Finally, I found a rare item with a quantity of [1]: [Fairy Queen's Crystal Ball]. The name of this item is unclear, but in terms of function, it is an upgraded version of Stoka.

Stoka can only be used to spy on the Lyre Frog, but by [Touching the Fairy Queen's Crystal Ball], after entering the name of any small animal, you can see their real-time movements.

Unfortunately, it only works for ten minutes.

Hojo Natsuki immediately confirmed the use, and the crystal ball interface immediately occupied the entire screen. White mist flowed inside the crystal ball, and gradually condensed into a scene.

In the brightly lit living room, there is a little pigeon with gray feathers half lying on the sofa watching TV. Judging from the species, it should be a snow pigeon.

The name lights up above its head: [Kudo Shinichi Chicken].

It turned out that it was not a chicken, but a pigeon.

It was raining outside the window, and on the floor next to the TV cabinet lay a football that had not yet been put back into the net bag.

Kudo Shinichi glanced out the window, turned to look at the TV screen, and sighed. The little pigeon was in big trouble.

This trouble is mostly due to the fact that we can’t play football due to bad weather.

The chicken watched TV for a few minutes, and then its parents came back.

Its father is a falcon wearing glasses and its mother is a peacock with beautiful feathers.

Hojo Natsuki glanced at this family of three with a strange species composition, and he really couldn't understand it; he didn't know whether the falcon cheated or the peacock cheated, so why the falcon and the peacock could give birth to a chicken... Sorry, it's a pigeon.

[Yukiko]: Shinichi, what are you looking at

Kudo Shinichi replied in a gloomy voice: [I was just looking for something to look at. It was raining, so I couldn’t play football…]

At this time, a very familiar advertisement was played on the TV screen.

A little kitty with green fur and green clothes appeared on the stage driving a tricycle.

It came to the gate of a gloomy castle, looked up and shouted, "Give me back the princess! Aka fish!"

Belmode, wearing an exaggerated pink princess dress, stood on the attic of the castle and asked for help in panic: "Frog Man, save me!"

Shinichi's peacock mother was shocked. She dropped her bag and ran over: [Wait, wait, who is this? Is this Sharon...? ]

The camera switches to a close-up of the villain Boss's half-face with green lips. Akai Yuyu grabs the princess back and smiles evilly: "Frogman, you wish. If you don't leave now, today will be the day you die!"

Tears welled up in Vermouth's eyes.

The advertisement ends here, and the time for the prop card is over.

Shinichi Chicken is a little pigeon whose feathers haven't even grown out yet. He likes to play football, and his family composition has the flavor of a melodrama... Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any useful information.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a serious opponent.

Hojo Natsuki felt relieved and decided to let it grow freely.

While Kudo Shinichi and Kudo Yukiko were watching TV, in an apartment in Tokyo, two young men in police uniforms were also watching this childish and magical toy car advertisement over and over again.

They both have handsome looks in their own unique ways, and the crisp uniforms they wear take their handsomeness to a higher level.

“…Is it him?”

"so similar."

“But the sound is different.”

“Many actors use dubbing, right?”

"Look again."

"Well, watch it again."

So, Curly dragged the progress bar back to the beginning.

A young man in combat uniform and a frog mask drove a green frog-shaped tricycle with a serious face. He drifted for a few seconds and stopped at the gate of the spooky black castle.

He sat in the car and shouted at the castle, "Give me back the princess, Aka Fish!"

His combat uniform is largely a copy of Captain Dragonfly from "Iron Armor O Treasure". The shoulder armor is not round, but Piccolo

It has a pointed tail, spread out to the sides of the shoulders like a king, and a cloak underneath.

The long armor on his shoulders is so long and so eye-catching, as if it will break through the border of the screen in the next second. This makes Frogman look like a walking double-door refrigerator. He removed the left and right refrigerator door panels and installed them on his shoulders; he seems to be about to raise the two refrigerator door wings and turn into an angel to soar into the sky.

The camera turned to the villain Boss, whose outfit was too normal, a long black trench coat and a green hat... well, a green hat is much more normal than a double-door refrigerator... But his lips were also a dying green, as if he had died of poisoning after ten years.

The protagonist and the villain both look like they escaped from a mental hospital, making the heroine in her exaggerated princess dress look very normal.

"Give me back the princess! Aka Fish!"

"Frogman, save me!"

"Frog Man, you wish. If you don't leave now, today will be the day you die!"

"Come down!"

"Come up here!"

"Come down!"

"Come up here!"

"Okay, come up if you want!"

So, Frogman turned the steering wheel of the tricycle and took off into the air. The dark green cape hanging on the double-door shoulder armor fluttered in the air like a flag, and he rode the tricycle to the castle!

The twist car stopped.

Frogman jumped out of the car, knelt on one knee to relieve the force, put one hand on his bent knee, and held the hilt of his sword with the other hand, looking like a knight descending from the sky.

But the tricycle itself is only a little bit high, so his action looks more like a frog jumping left and right on the spot. It's a bit of a stretch to say that it's handsome. If you ignore the embarrassing action itself, Frogman's calm posture is quite cool. What's even more meaningless is that the camera deliberately gives a close-up of Frogman's hips to waist, probably to show off his cool combat leather pants and belt.

Frogman's eyes flashed with determination: "Princess, I'm late. - Aka Fish, die!"

The princess' eyes widened with emotion.

Then, the double-door refrigerator man and the poisoned... Frog Man and Aka Fish started fighting, and they were evenly matched, and they fought back and forth. Although it was a simple fight at the level of square dance at the entrance of the community, it was not difficult to see that these two actors have excellent martial arts skills.

Then, Aka Fish was stabbed in the abdomen by Frogman's shoulder armor. He widened his eyes and covered his abdomen.

Akai hit the ground head-on with a bang and was defeated.

"Heh... I still lost..."

Akayu was lying on the ground, dying, posing like Captain Olga, and writing a suicide note with his fingers: "I don't accept..."

The Frogman got back on the tricycle and held out his hand to the princess: "Come with me."

The princess nodded shyly, took the frog man's hand, and got on the car. I don't know why this "lending a hand" action design is necessary. After all, the mount is not a white horse or a motorcycle, but a twisting car that is less than half a meter off the ground. The princess doesn't need anyone's help to get on the car...

Anyway, Frogman and the princess got on the tricycle. The car was suspended in the air. Frogman looked back at the Aka fish that was vomiting blood, smiled evilly, and left.

To be fair, the special effects in this advertisement are extremely cool, almost on par with Hollywood blockbusters, and it's obvious that a lot of money was spent on them; the amazing special effects dilute the stupidity of the plot.

[Floating frog twist car]

[Small Pond Toy Factory]

The ad is over.

The two young men fell silent again.

"… "

"… "

"Hagi, what do you think?"

“I think we should have the same idea.”

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "This frog man is Zero."

After saying this, they all fell strangely silent.

Sitting on the left side of the sofa is a handsome young man with short black curly hair named Matsuda Jinpei. Next to him sits his childhood friend Hagi

Original Research II.

They are currently working in the explosive ordnance disposal team. Rei Furuya is their classmate in the police academy and a close friend with whom they can talk about anything.

"That guy, what did he say at that time..." Matsuda Jinpei recalled in a trance, imitating the tone of Chikuroya Rei, "'The content of the mission? It's a secret. ... Haha, Matsuda, just think of me as going to save the world.'"

Hagiwara: "If it's this kind of mission, I'm too embarrassed to even talk about it."

Matsuda: “That’s true, but we did recognize it.”

Hagiwara: "Is this a mission from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Matsuda: "… Why would a public security police officer do such a thing! Is this country doomed?"

"What on earth is he doing?" Matsuda was frantic. "I was thinking it was some difficult undercover mission, but this is it? Zero, you are really amazing!"

Hagiwara Kenji laughed twice: "Do you think this could be a secret operation?"

“Is there really such a secret operation?”

Due to the excessive mental damage caused, Matsuda Jinpei has not recovered until now. Instead of laughing loudly, he felt more shocked and regretful, "How could a good boy do such a thing?"

"What kind of reward could make Zero agree to such a thing?" Matsuda asked a soul-searching question.

—This reward is naturally the code name of the wine.

The advertising effect is so good, it’s time for Hojo Natsuki to fulfill his promise.

He prepared six wine names and gave them to employees who have performed extremely well in recent years, just like giving out awards at the end of a term. Among the six outstanding employees with outstanding KPIs, only two were undercover agents. The undercover rate of the Frog Organization hit a new low, which was great!

Among them, the one given to Akai Yuyu is "Lei", and the one given to Rei Cat is "Bourbon".

There is no special meaning for these two wine names. They are found through Google search. Boss Dog has always been equal in this regard. All the codes are provided by search engines.

Because he was relatively free, he specially changed into a headgear that he had never worn before. With the new headgear and a new look, he met with the new employees who had received the wine code names one by one, and spoke a few words to each of them in a friendly manner.

"I saw everything you did."

"You've done a great job. Keep it up. I admire you."

“We need to work harder next time.”

Although what they said were all normal words of encouragement, their expressions all looked a bit terrified, as if they were just about to tremble on the spot, kneel down and hug the puppy Boss’s thighs and shout “Boss, I know I was wrong, please let me go!”...

Akai Yuyu's pupils trembled again, and his eyeballs trembled up and down, left and right in his round eye sockets, like marbles running around. Hojo Natsuki was really afraid that he would suddenly roll his eyes, turn over his belly, and faint on the spot.

The last cat to come in, Zero, had such a subtle expression. Its usually fake smile froze when it saw the Boss. Its little green face was so solemn that it looked like it could squeeze out a bowl of spinach juice.

Hojo Natsuki: “?”

Why? Not really

Is this angry frog mask that scary

Ling Miaomiao walked out of the office. Natsuki dragged the camera and saw Akai Yuyu standing in the corridor smoking, as if she was waiting for Miaomiao by the window.

Akai Yu Yu is the second to last, and Zero Cat is the last. The four new code members in front have already left. It must have something to say when standing here.

Akai Yuyu greeted Ling Miao a few times, and then asked: [Did you notice the style of Boss's headgear? ]

Ling Miao paused, then replied nonchalantly: [No difference from usual.]

Akai Yuyu didn't comment: [Yeah, is that so. ]

Ling Miao smiled and left.

Hojo Natsuki: “???”

Wait, they're just wearing an angry frog mask, is it necessary for them to act so weird and test each other

He didn't understand what was going on, so he used a mind-reading card before Zero Cat went far away.

[Zero Meow]

Is this a test from the Boss

Why are they suddenly using a red hood? I've never seen it before. Is it just for me? Is it green for everyone else

Zhu Xingda, was it him who instructed me to stay there to warn me

This code name is so ridiculous, what is his purpose...

[Akai Fish]

Red hood... Why is it a red hood...

Red… aki… aki… aki…

Is he hinting that he already knows I'm Akai? Does giving a code name really symbolize trust

It came too easy, it's not normal... Does he know I'm from the FBI

Appropriate countermeasures must be formulated...

Hojo Natsuki was shocked: "...?"

Hojo Natsuki: Sublimation of the Space Frog.jpg

A cat and a fish, together they have more than eight hundred eyes.

They really think a lot every day. Can they sleep at night
