Chapter 11: The Unexpected Arrival of Darkness

Watching the two leave, Anton Yayoi leaned against the wall and quietly looked through the soul memories he currently had. Combining the memories of most people, he came to the conclusion that the other party was a big dark force, and because of Konishi Narimi's recent political declaration, the other party's organization wanted to kill him. The bomb on his neck should be enough to kill this body, and the other party would not lie about such a thing. If he wanted to save this body, he could choose to call the police and let them solve it, or kill Konishi Narimi as they said.

Anton Yayoi ignored the key, directly removed the joints and got his hands out of the handcuffs, then twisted them to restore the dislocated joints. The long-haired man in black threw the key so far that it was impossible for a human to get it, unless he had the rubber fruit like Luffy in One Piece, which allowed him to stretch his arms and legs. Fortunately, the handcuffs were not tight, and although he could not break free directly, they did not fit the circumference of his wrists completely. However, it was just a slight dislocation and scrape of the joints, which he could completely accept.

After all, the fit between Thanatos, a god, and this mere human body was not high. This was manifested in that he had a low level of control over his body and slow reactions. At the same time, he could not feel much pain or abnormality in his body, and could only have an intuition that something was wrong with this body.

Gin watched from the monitor as Anton Yayoi broke his hand expressionlessly, even indifferently, and forced his hand out of the handcuffs despite the severe pain. It looked like at least several joints were broken, and the muscles were also pulled apart. But Anton Yayoi was calm as if it was not his own hand, and twisted it back calmly. Seeing this, Gin sneered mockingly.

Vodka was driving and glanced at the monitor screen out of the corner of his eye: "This guy was pretending to be real just now, I didn't expect him to be so cruel." He is similar to Brother Gin who shot himself to avoid being anesthetized. What makes him cruel is not that he has the courage to commit self-harm, but that he has no expression on his face.

"He's a talented person, but I hope he can be more obedient." Gin lit a cigarette and looked at Ando Yayoi on the screen with a hint of appreciation as he stood up, changed his clothes and went out. The organization has a lot of people, but they are short of assassins. I hope Ando Yayoi can prove his worth and offset the guilt of killing the code-named member of the organization. If Ando Yayoi can't prove his worth, it means he will be killed by Gin.

Leaving the room, he would naturally lose the surveillance view. Gin was not stupid enough to do that, so the collar was also equipped with monitoring and listening. Gin switched the surveillance and watched Anton Yayoi rub the cake box before leaving, and made a dissatisfied sound.

Anton Yayoi didn't know that Gin was still monitoring him, and he was too lazy to know. He just wanted to go out and look for the next body. The souls he had given to him a few days ago were really too much, which made his spirit and soul condense a lot. Anton Yayoi's body, a otaku, couldn't bear it and was on the verge of collapse. Originally, Anton Yayoi wanted to sacrifice some of the divine blood that he had condensed with great difficulty to upgrade this body. But now that this kind of thing happened, Anton Yayoi planned to change people and run away.

It would be best if he could find a suitable body before being blown up. If not... sorry, he doesn't have the ability to find Konishi Narimi. He can only take the route of forcibly taking over another body. The white-haired black organization man has a good body, and he is quite fond of him. But after all, he is a newcomer and can't even connect to the world line. He should try not to kill anyone if possible. Who knows if the person whose body is taken over is a key person that the world line is paying attention to. What if the world line is unhappy and kicks him out? Now that he has lost his authority and is weak, he still doesn't plan to take this risk. It's better to go out and try his luck first.

Not attracted by dying people, but the best place to find dying people is the hospital. Anton Yayoi continued his hoodie and mask two-piece suit. Walking to the nearest Beihua General Hospital, people inside were doing their own things, coming and going very busy, and had no time to notice a strange man wandering around the wards.

Yayoi Anton walked around for two hours and looked at all the wards he could enter. The patients who were relatively healthy and had no missing body parts, including the boy in ward 308, had 20 days left, the woman in ward 405 had 6 days left, and the man in ward 502 had 18 days left. Yayoi Anton sighed. There were indeed many people dying in the hospital, but there were really no young people who were going to die today. In desperation, he had to plan to change to another hospital first.

As he was pushing the door and walking out, he heard a familiar boy calling him.

"Brother Anton! Why are you here?" Conan greeted him with a smile as if he had met an acquaintance. There was no awareness on his bright little face that he had been following and observing the other person all the way and only called out to him when he saw him was about to leave.

Anton Yayoi, who had been aware of being watched but thought it was Gin and the others, suddenly realized that the person following him was Conan.

After the Endo case, Anton Yayoi, who was obsessed with Conan, went back and worked overtime to learn network technology. He hacked into the National Police Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department and saw numerous files related to Conan. Most of the other parties appear in the files as the first discoverer or eyewitness. Although Conan is a 7-year-old child, according to laws and regulations, the effectiveness of his testimony is very low. But he is too smart, which is recognized by the Metropolitan Police Department and even the National Police Agency. So his testimony left a strong mark in the file, only slightly lower than that of the famous detective Maori Kogoro. Anton Yayoi also successfully learned that the other party hoped to become an outstanding detective, so it is no wonder that he would bite him to death. If the police file contains all the events encountered by little Conan, then he can be said to be the first person to escape his arrest.

At the same time, Yayoi Anton also guessed that the power of Conan was not attracted to dying people, but to dying people who died unconventionally. After all, if every person who died normally would attract Conan, he would face the desperate scene of staying in the hospital for 365 days and not being able to leave. If this goes on, the other party may not dream of being a detective, but a doctor, after all, doctors cannot do without hospitals. So Yayoi Anton felt that the power should have undergone a certain change due to the other party's own vision, from being attracted to dying people to being attracted to dying people who died unconventionally. Therefore, Conan, who appeared here now, represents that there are unconventional people who are about to die. But he didn't see it, or did he actually have it, but he hasn't found it yet? People who die unconventionally are often very healthy and even rich, and are his best targets for taking over.

Yayoi Anton decided that instead of wandering around by himself, it would be better to follow Conan and find the person who died unusually, so he squatted down and looked at Conan and explained seriously.

"I'm shopping."

For a moment Conan thought he had misheard, then slowly typed a question mark, tilted his head, frowned and said hesitantly: "Brother Anton, you... come to the hospital to shop?" It was the first time he heard of someone coming to the hospital to shop. What kind of weird hobby is this? Do they like the smell of disinfectant or the beautiful nurses?

Anton Yayoi, who really thought he was answering seriously, also typed a question mark in confusion: "Shopping, it means wandering on the street, doesn't the hospital count as being on the street?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, and he blinked dully: "I don't think the hospital is considered to be on the street..."

This was beyond the ability of Anton Yayoi. He asked in confusion, "Is a supermarket considered a street? Is shopping in a supermarket considered shopping?"

Of course, Conan nodded.

"There's a Shin-Lian supermarket next door. Supermarkets are considered streets, so why isn't this Mika General Hospital considered one? Aren't they both in Mika-cho 3-chome?" Anton Yayoi asked the question with clear logic. To him, a hospital is a supermarket. Humans go to supermarkets to choose goods, and he goes to hospitals to choose souls. Why isn't that considered shopping in a hospital?

Conan: ...It seems wrong, but it also seems to make sense. Although shopping does mean strolling on the street, it is usually for the purpose of buying things. Who comes to the hospital to buy things?

However, chatting about such meaningless things obviously could not satisfy Conan's purpose, so he changed the subject and asked a new question: "Why did Brother Anton come to the hospital to shop?"

Anton Yayoi was puzzled again: "Because I'm shopping, isn't shopping just strolling around? There's no purpose." What else should I say? I came to see if anyone died, and do you know where Konishi Narimi is? I have to kill him, or I will die. Forget it, Anton Yayoi knew that it would be better to insist that he was just shopping.

Conan: You actually wandered into the hospital for no reason. Aren't you too idle...

No, no, no, don't be misled, calm down. The other person's skin is white and the skin color is consistent, which proves that he doesn't often get sun exposure, which also proves that he doesn't like to go out. His limbs are thin, and his walking posture is strange and unharmonious, which proves that his muscles are weak, he doesn't like exercise, and his limbs are poorly controlled. In this case, he must not go out for leisure. A person who doesn't like to go out and doesn't like exercise can't go to the hospital, let alone walk up and down the stairs for two hours. The other person must have been forced to do something.

Conan looked at Anton Yayoi from head to toe. Before, he couldn't see Anton Yayoi when he was standing, but now that he was squatting down and talking to Conan, his hair was faintly visible through his clothes, with a faint red light at his neck. What was that?

Seeing Conan's eyes vaguely sweeping over his neck, Anton Yayoi kindly pulled up his clothes to block the bomb on his collar. After all, a person with a bomb was talking to him face to face, how scared the other party would be. Thanatos's emotional intelligence was not enough in other aspects, but in terms of recognizing the fear of death of human beings, it was quite enough. Seeing Anton Yayoi blocking his neck and not giving him the opportunity to peek, Conan came up with a plan. He stepped forward to pull Anton Yayoi's hand and said, "Uncle Maori twisted his foot and is doing a check-up. Brother Anton, do you want to go and take a look..." Then he pretended to step on his shoelaces and fell down. While falling, he pulled the hem of Anton Yayoi's clothes, causing the collar to drop suddenly.

Although it only took a second, Conan could see clearly that Anton Yayoi was wearing a dangerous collar around his neck. It was about five centimeters wide and two centimeters thick, made of metal, with a smooth shell and precise seams. If it weren't for the overly complicated welding technology, Conan would have thought that the other party was wearing an iron shackle, but now... was it a collar bomb? The red light was a surveillance camera?

Anton Yayoi didn't have the concept of helping someone who fell down. He just watched Conan quietly and waited for him to stand up. The family members of the patient next to him saw this and came forward to help him. One man even picked up Conan like a princess.

"Ouch, kid, are you hurt? How are you?"

"What's wrong with you as a brother? You didn't help your brother when he fell down?"

help?

It turned out that the human fell down, and the people next to him needed to help him up. Anton Yayoi hesitated and stepped forward, but Conan took a step back reflexively after landing. The person in front of him had a bomb, and no one knew how powerful it was. He had to leave quickly to inform Uncle Maori and the police. There was also a surveillance camera on the bomb, so he couldn't take Anton Yayoi around, so he had to solve the problem himself first.

Conan smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I fell by myself. I'm going to find Uncle Maori. Brother Anton, you stay here and don't walk around." After saying that, he waved goodbye and ran away.

Yayoi Ando didn't want to be separated from Conan, so he pushed the crowd away and tried to follow Conan. However, Conan shouted, "Just stay where you are!" and quickly closed the elevator door, isolating Yayoi Ando outside and leaving him no chance to follow.

Anton Yayoi looked at Conan who had just run away like a little tail, and thought about it and decided not to listen to Conan. He waited for the next elevator and followed him up to find Detective Maori. Just as Anton Yayoi was quietly waiting for the elevator, a group of people in white coats ran over quickly. They had solemn faces and anxious tones. Even Anton Yayoi noticed the solemn and tense atmosphere and looked at them frequently.

"How is the patient?" asked one of them, a man with gray hair, over fifty years old, who looked like an authoritative doctor.

The accompanying nurse had a worried look on her face, and her slightly furrowed brows revealed wrinkles. She seemed to notice Anton Yayoi in the corner, and she lowered her voice politely, showing a tablet, "The highest heart rate in history was 160, the lowest was 60, the heart rhythm was irregular, and the blood oxygen content was 80%. The situation is very bad. Doctor Yamanaka on duty on the eighth floor has gone to rescue him."

The doctor nodded, took the tablet and checked the patient's data, and then talked about the patient's condition with several doctors next to him. At this time, the elevator that everyone had been waiting for finally arrived, and a group of people hurriedly quickened their pace to enter the elevator.

The eighth floor, I haven’t been there, I might as well go and take a look, Anton Yayoi thought, and quietly followed them all the way into the VIP area.
