Chapter 59: Rebirth in the Fire
Conan was too noisy, so he could only shout out paragraphs, occasionally coughing from the smoke. Amuro Toru calmly consoled him, "Don't worry, have you called the police?"
"Already! Called the police! But, ahem, this means things are not over yet." Conan was just dragged out to play by Mouri Ran after returning home. Everyone was having a great time, but by the time they realized something was wrong, the fire was already too big for them to put out.
"What happened?" Kazukage Yayoi interrupted Toru Amuro's words. Seeing this, Toru Amuro simply left.
"Brother Yayoi? You're here too, great! That criminal didn't bury more than three bombs, he was lying!" Conan saw everyone inside the shrine running out, and he also ran out of the shrine gate. The fire department had already arrived and was trying their best to put out the fire. He repeated what he had just said to Toru Amuro.
"Although there is no evidence that the bomber was responsible! But this is Hie Shrine!" Although Conan had left the fire scene, the firefighting was still very noisy, so he had to shout desperately.
He Jing Yayoi was stunned. Logically, it should have been over. Half an hour was not enough for Conan and his friends to find the criminal and the bomb. The number of casualties would be very terrifying. He had clearly visited the world line, and the feedback was that there was no major disaster except for the seven people in the Skytree. Although there were also accidental duds, and they were lucky enough to find them with one shot, he always felt something was wrong, and he felt an indescribable panic in his heart.
Kazukage Yayoi had a hunch that he had misunderstood the friendliness of the world line towards him. There is a saying on the Internet: The gift of fate has already been secretly marked with a price. Even humans understand this truth, why would he think that he is the only god, so this gift is free? Kazukage Yayoi's face became extremely ugly, and even Amuro Toru couldn't help but look back while driving.
After a while, I heard Kazukage Yayoi suddenly exclaim, her tone was full of disbelief. It was the first time that Amuro Toru heard such an emotional voice from her. This made Amuro Toru subconsciously look back through the rearview mirror, and saw Kazukage Yayoi with a pale face, his hands unconsciously holding the hem of his clothes, and his whole body was shaking. It was like a newborn deer, facing this cold world for the first time.
Kazukage Yayoi suddenly raised his head and looked at Morobushi Keimitsu, his gaze seemed to penetrate this body and look at something unknown. Then he lowered his head again, his crow-feather eyelashes blocking his expression. He kept rubbing his lower lip with his teeth, biting it so hard that blood gushed out and the flesh on his lips almost fell off. Amuro Toru saw the blood splattered on Kazukage Yayoi's white clothes, and pulled over without hesitation, took out a wet tissue from the drawer and handed it to him.
"What's going on? Wipe him quickly."
Seeing Kazukage Yayoi's reaction, Zhu Fu Jingguang also felt ominous in his heart. It was not a good thing to let a god have such a reaction. However, he just frowned slightly, calmly took the wet tissue from Amuro Toru, gently pinched Kazukage Yayoi's face, and put his fingers on his teeth to stop him from biting himself. His voice was low and magnetic, and it sounded particularly soft and dreamy in the lane late at night. But at this time, it was the best lullaby: "Calm down, don't bite yourself, you're bleeding."
Hearing what Zhu Fu Jing Guang said, He Jing Yasheng finally came back to his senses. He reached out and wiped the corner of his mouth. The glaring red made him feel a little sick. It was as if the numbers he had just seen had turned into a pool of blood, and all he could see were the remains of corpses.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhu Fu Jingguang's gentle voice sounded in his ears, bringing him out of the hallucination.
He then realized that because he was completely focused on the world line, this body had all the bad habits that ordinary humans have when facing high pressure, including unconscious self-harm. He had to divert some of his attention and replied, "I'm fine, let me think about it."
Even though he was saying comforting words, He Jing Yasheng's expression did not improve at all. After all, the world line just told him that 218 people were about to die in the explosion.
And this number is consistent with the total number of souls he harvested and lifelines he created.
Not one more, not one less, and it's so glaring that it's sickening.
Just as he mocked the fate of mankind, the world line was also mocking his fate at this moment.
Thanatos felt like there was a pool of mud stuck in his throat. The fishy smell spread in his nasal cavity with his breathing, making him retch twice. He was unwilling to fight against the world line at this time. He was too weak. If he fought against the world line, he would only suffer in the end. Let humans die, whether it was 218 people or 2180 people, what did it have to do with him?
In this world, it's not that He doesn't have people He wants to protect. The children of Teitan High School, Conan, Kenbali, Morobushi Keimitsu, Bourbon... Thanatos doesn't want them to die. But now it's not them who are dying, why should He go against the world line?
Kazukage Yayoi calmed down, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking. Then he opened the car door and left. Zhufu Jingguang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Amuro Toru, but still chose to follow Kazukage Yayoi.
Seeing Zhu Fu Jingguang standing behind him obediently, He Jing Yasheng's cold face regained some warmth. He whispered, "Let's go back. Don't leave my side recently. Mr. Amuro, Conan, do your best."
Amuro Toru was unsure why he and Jing Yayoi suddenly changed their attitudes. It was him who proposed to find the bomb at the beginning, and he was the one who found the bomb, but he ran away halfway through. He was also concerned when he heard that the matter was not over, but now he said he didn't care?
He hesitated for a while between saving people and contacting He Jing Yayoi, and then he heard He Jing Yayoi say in a colder tone than ever before, "Mr. Amuro, if you still want to save people, don't waste your time on me."
After having the memories of Morobushi Keimitsu, Kazukage Yayoi knew that Toru Amuro's true identity was a Japanese public security officer. Since he could not intervene in the change of the world line, let humans work hard on their own. Conan and Toru Amuro are so closely connected to the world line, maybe they can change it. Humans do not need the charity of gods, they can control their own destiny, provided that their destiny is willing to be controlled by them.
"Mr. Amuro, let's go. Fate will guide you to find the answer."
This is not a riddle, but the world line will really guide mankind and embark on the path it hopes for. This will allow Thanatos to see clearly what the world line wants to do. He will not be overly involved in this matter. He needs to know the purpose of the world line. For example, will the world line lead to the death of these 218 people, or will it make Conan a hero praised by others?
After saying that, He Jing Yayoi took Zhu Fu Jingguang away.
Amuro Toru and Conan had not spoken since they got into the mess with Jing Yayoi. Now, after the two of them left, Conan spoke, "Although I have many questions for Brother Yayoi, let's deal with the bomber first. If we talk about something related to religion and the number three, it's hard not to think of the Trinity."
"Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Polar Oceanarium, Komatsugawa Park, if I must say, it's their intersection - Ginza."
Toru Amuro restarted the car, his eyes following the two small dots in the distance until they turned into patterns on the wall and could no longer be seen.
He answered Conan distractedly: "But Ginza is very big, he can't take the whole Ginza into account and blow it up. If he really has this ability, I have to suspect that the Japanese security department is eating for free."
