Gin: Players Are Forbidden From Loading Saves

Qin You: The Fourth Calamity

Sleep (a name he came up with while lying awake at night)

In other timelines, Sleep treated Detective Conan like a game: cases were daily quests, the Organization was a weekly dungeon, and once he finished an ending, he would start over. Beautiful people were no different: tame them, collect them, clear the route, then turn around and forget them.

Until an anomaly caused him to go offline and drop into a more realistic world.

More realistic, and more dangerous: here, he was no longer a player watching from the sidelines. He was a member of the Organization, with a senior codename.

Worse still, Gin knew everything he had done in every playthrough.

In Gin's eyes, Qingjiu was uncontrollable and heartless.

He had cleared countless endings, discarded countless people, and smiled as he treated true feelings like disposable items.

Gin didn't break down or run away.

He simply lit a cigarette and looked at him coldly.

“You like playing by the rules?”

“Then we'll play by mine.”

The privileges he gave Gin were never some “reward from the system.” They were favoritism he didn't even dare admit to himself.

But Gin always kept a clear head: getting hooked was fine, losing control was not.

He would not become another collectible to be discarded in the next round.
