Chaotic scene.

Shuichi Akai had a splitting headache. He never expected that these three people would be the first to arrive.

But it was obvious that they did not understand Songjiang Xunye's situation.

He had finally managed to calm the young man, whose spirit was almost broken. It didn't matter even if Matsue Shun treated him as another person. But if Amuro Toru and the others disrupted the situation again, that would be really bad.

Thinking about the young man who was in a trance just now, and the way the conditions were reflected in his arms, Akai Shuichi couldn't hand over Matsue Xun no matter what.

So, the pink-haired man just glanced at the two people rushing towards him, and raised his hand again to cover Matsue Shunye's eyes.

"It's nothing, just an irrelevant person." His voice was low and soft, but clear enough.

The young man in her arms blinked his eyelashes slightly, but made no other movements. He seemed to feel much more at ease.

Shuichi Akai felt that he had done everything right.

…

The three people who heard his words paused at the same time.

Edogawa Conan almost spit out tears.

Mr. Akai, do you know what you are saying, Mr. Akai!

This was clearly not the attitude I had last time!

Conan Edogawa now doesn't even know how to defend Akai Shuichi's actions just now - he feels that the other party doesn't seem to need any defense!

"FBI!"

Amuro Toru's already rising anger exploded at this moment. He clenched his fists and his bones cracked.

How dare he do such a thing to Instructor Songjiang!

The cautious and suspicious Japanese public security even began to speculate on conspiracy theories, wondering if the entire kidnapping incident was planned by Akai Shuichi, with the purpose of...

Suddenly, Toru Amuro narrowed his eyes.

The black jacket that Matsue Xunye was wearing, which obviously did not belong to him, had a shiny thing on the brim.

Monitor?!

He looked at Akai Shuichi's calm face in disbelief, and finally understood how he got here at the right time.

"Is this the rescue plan you devised?!" he said gritting his teeth.

The blond-haired, dark-skinned young man rushed forward with his bare hands, aiming for the face of the pink-haired man who was up to something bad: "Give him to me now!"

Haibara Ai picked up a wooden stick from the ground, pointed at the culprit with a dark look on her face, ready to take advantage of the opportunity.

Conan Edogawa looked left and right, then in a daze he called the police and asked them to come and put out the fire.

"Yes, there's an explosion here, remember to call the fire truck and ambulance..."

Toru Amuro's voice rang out in anger: "Those guys who take advantage of others' misfortune, get out of Japan!"

"Bang!" Someone punched the tree.

The police paused and immediately became alert: "Are there any accomplices over there?"

"With what? Bombs or guns?"

Edogawa Conan: "..."

****

[Touzi, when I said thank you to you, I was so sad at first, but when I saw your unbelievable look, I burst into laughter]

[What do you mean by scoring twice? Hahahaha, he is indeed the man who snatched Gin's innocence with one gun (dog head)]

[In this state, Songjiang must have mistaken the sound of the door opening for an explosion? His past PTSD is really difficult to deal with, not to mention that his current psychological problems are so serious]

[At the moment of the explosion, he realized that there would be no partner to help him defuse the bomb, so he sobbed in despair? Even crying was so suppressed, Songjiang was really miserable]

[But it’s not unfair that Akai got beaten up. This scene is too rude]

[I took a screenshot and showed it to my friend, who asked when they would hold the wedding banquet]

[This Akai really smells like a male mother (wiping tears)]

[I also want to hug Songjiang-kun like a princess. Although he is in such a miserable state, I can let others do whatever they want (tears flow from the corners of my mouth)]

[Why did he become like this? He should have been seriously injured two years ago. Did Songjiang get hurt in some other way? ? ]

[Da Mee Yo!!]

***

"Last time, you made Akai Shuichi and Amuro Toru fight to death with just one sentence."

The system said slowly: "This time, you didn't even have to say a word, they had already started fighting, host, your skills are really good!"

Songjiang Shigure just felt like a small boat drifting in the sea, with the two huge waves on the left and right trying to overturn him.

Although Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai both restrained their movements, the former said that he was hitting someone but in fact he was just hammering a tree, while the latter was running from beginning to end with his upper body very stable.

But this didn't stop him from saying in frustration: "Why do I need this skill? Why don't they go fight Gin!"

"Akai Shuichi and I are innocent, what on earth are Amuro Toru and the others thinking?!"

The system would like to say that perhaps you are the only one who thinks you are innocent.

Look at Shuichi Akai, he even mentioned irrelevant people. Doesn't he think he is important?

But the system was still a little more tactful: "Next time, you can be a little more ambiguous with Gin, so that the red team can directly fight."

Matsue Shigure: "It seems to make sense... Wait, what kind of bad idea is this! If I meet Gin, he will just shoot me, right?"

System: "Akai Shuichi can slander someone's innocence with just one gun. I think you have this talent."

The heartbroken players felt even more miserable when they saw the repair progress bar only reaching 5%.

Feeling that Haibara Ai had joined the battlefield, Matsue Shigure, who was worried that the girl goose would also be affected, finally shouted with all his strength, "Stop fighting!"

Then, at his intervention, everyone stopped and apologized to each other.

——The above is purely imaginary.

In fact, Songjiang Shigure did shout, but his rookie physique made him cough from time to time.

Now she was being held in Akai Shuichi's arms and moved quickly, with her mouth half blocked by his hand. The words she was about to say were stuck due to the combined factors.

"No... cough cough cough, fight..."

Only Shuichi Akai heard the noise, and he moved his hand slightly.

The blond young man had opened his eyes at some point and was now staring at him without blinking.

His face was still pale, and his loose coat and hospital gown were torn a little, revealing his thin and distinct collarbone.

If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest with his breathing, he would look no different from the dolls sold in the window.

Akai Shuichi even thought that what he just heard was an illusion. He frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Amuro Toru, who had been trying to snatch the person away, also stopped. He stood aside with a frown on his face, and nervously shouted, "Matsue!"

Toru Amuro did not receive the enthusiastic reply from the golden retriever who would normally come to him whenever he saw him.

Akai Shuichi shook his head at him, half squatted down, and skillfully pulled up Matsue Shunye's clothes so that he could lean more comfortably.

The blond young man even blinked much slower than a normal person, and there was an abnormal sense of stagnation that was even more obvious when he was quiet.

"What's going on?" Toru Amuro stiffened and looked at Shuichi Akai.

Haibara Ai happened to run over at this moment, and her face turned pale when she saw the condition of Matsue Shunya. She slowly stopped and clenched her fists.

This state, this state...!

****

APOTOXIN-433, A participated in this experiment, and there were not only two stages: irritability and sobriety.

If these two stages each account for 10%, then for the remaining 80% of the time, he is in a state as if he has lost his soul.

The young man said nothing, lying quietly on the experimental bed, his cobalt blue eyes were empty and wet, as if the data about his soul had been completely deleted by the experiment.

Even if someone put a knife to his eyes or used the organization's punishment, A did not react at all.

When the researchers first saw this state, they panicked and thought that the experiment had failed and they had created a fool. It was not until they started to use strong electric current to stimulate the person and regain consciousness that they felt relieved.

"Do you think you can get away with this? You are just daydreaming!"

Shirley, who was recording the data nearby, knew that this was never intentional.

She looked at A who had just woken up. She still didn't understand what the researchers were talking about, but she was lying on the bed, swearing at him in a hoarse and trembling voice, which made him even more angry and he became even more violent.

Pain seemed like an insignificant remedy to A, and almost every word he said was filled with the murderous intent of destroying both himself and the enemy.

But unfortunately, he can't die, and the organization won't let him die.

Shirley, who was just an assistant at the time, could not change the situation. All she could do was record the data as much as possible and try to help A stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

But most of them are useless. Every time A conducts a memory detachment experiment, he will enter this almost self-enclosed state.

It was even said that in the end, even the electric current was of no use and they could only wait for him to recover on his own.

And every time A wakes up, it represents the success of a stage of the experiment.

Finally, A's wakefulness time became longer and his uncontrollable irritability became his most difficult pain to deal with. Shirley could only take time out every day to accompany him, sitting by his bed and looking at him in a daze.

Why are you in a daze? Because there is nothing left to recall or think about.

The blond young man felt calm for a long time because of her arrival. His body was hidden under the hospital gown, so thin and skinny that even his spine could be seen through the cloth.

He liked to put his hands on Shirley's head, messing up her well-groomed hair like he was petting a small animal, and then listen to her say angrily, "Don't touch my head!"

Every time this happens, he is very happy.

Their conversation would surely be recorded, so Shirley couldn't even find a way to help.

She only asked cautiously: "What were you thinking about most of the time you were in the experiment?"

"What?" A tilted his head to look at her in confusion, his lips turned pale, but his eyes became brighter, "Oh - I wasn't there at that time."

Shirley: “Huh?”

"Let me explain it this way." He seemed to be troubled about how to put it, and finally just explained it abstractly, "Although the body is here, the soul has flown to another world."

Shirley couldn't help but ask, "What kind of world is that?"

The blond young man smiled, which was rare. He smiled with a smile: "It's a great and beautiful place."

"What a pity... I can't take you to see it." He touched her head with some regret.

Shirley was also thinking, what a pity, she couldn't take him out to see the world.

She didn’t know what A’s past was, but it must have been very important and beautiful.

In this way, she also solved the mystery of A during her self-isolated period.

He fell into that beautiful, bright past, tearing those memories into pieces bit by bit in his dreams, and then waking up and facing the cruel reality again with an exceptionally calm attitude.

——Like a computer that automatically formats itself when it restarts.

******

Matsue Shigure never imagined that the "truce" he had finally made up his mind to shout out would be easily swept away by Akai Shuichi's words "What did you say".

But he really opened his eyes and looked at the four pairs of eyes staring at him...

Songjiang Shigure: "I dare not move, I really dare not move.jpg"

He was so afraid that whatever he said now would be misunderstood as something else before he could even finish.

Although his current state seems quite strange.

System: "It's not that weird actually. They have already figured it out for you."

Matsue Shigure: “Ah?”

System: "Are you feeling very frustrated right now?"

Songjiang Shigure didn't know what kind of gourd the system was selling: "...That seems to be correct."

System: "Do you really want to get away from this state and continue to lose your memory and isolate yourself?"

Matsue Shigure hesitated: "It seems to be like this?"

System: "Okay, next - your goose girl's script!"

In his consciousness, Matsue Shigure stared at the way he looked when he was AFK.

It was so miserable and sad.

Songjiang Shigure couldn't believe it: "I'm the unlucky one?"

He blocks his sense of pain on a daily basis and has no spirit of exploration. After the adaptation period of the second round was over, Songjiang Shigure had no special ideas about him and simply treated the researcher as an NPC who honed his "swearing skills".

I have to say that the swearing skills of those researchers are too poor, not even as good as Chianti. Matsue Shigure was the only one cursing the whole place, feeling invincible and lonely.

As for what I said to Shirley, it was only referring to the real world - who can bring the paper man back?!

The player was inexplicably stuffed with a script, and now he is at a loss.

The system was very calm: "So, just lie down and pretend to be dead until the maintenance time is over."

Songjiang Shiyu looked at the progress bar which was only 9%, then looked at the people whose expressions became increasingly gloomy. He felt that he could not do it. He could not do it.

"I remember my A's alias, but Amuro Toru and the others don't know it yet, right?" Matsue Shigure was so anxious that smoke came out of his head, "What if Akai Shuichi or Shirley tell it!"

Everything else is fine, but this one is not okay!!

If Toru Amuro knew that Matsue Shigure felt that he could really take off from the spot and go to Mars.

But Shirley gave him this script, and if Toru Amuro digs deeper, it would be easy for him to reveal A's true identity.

Songjiang Shigure immediately shook the system: "Tong, Tong! Think of a way to make me not freeze for even a few minutes. I have to take advantage of this opportunity to explain it first!"

System: "You should know that programs must run logically, right? It's not impossible to fix this bug, but it may cause other bugs..."

Songjiang Shigure made a prompt decision: "It's a bug, it can't be worse than it is now!"

He can hardly speak clearly and can't move at all now, how could it be worse?

System: "Are you really going to do this? Are you sure? Tear down the west wall to repair the east wall?"

Matsue Shigure: “Confirmed!”

He doesn't care, he would never reveal himself in front of Toru Amuro!

System: "Then wait a moment, it might get stuck."

Matsue Shigure: "Hurry up! As long as I can speak, anything is fine!"

*******

While Songjiang Shigure was communicating with the system, the four people outside were also communicating.

Compared to Conan Edogawa who only knew a little about everything, the other three who knew something about the situation were particularly depressed.

Especially Toru Amuro, who was seeing this scene for the first time.

He stared at Akai Shuichi intently.

"It's useless for you to look at me like that." Akai Shuichi said quietly. He gently placed one hand on Matsue Shunya's shoulder and pushed the young man's soft hair back. "I don't know the specific reason."

Amuro Toru's purple-gray eyes were now covered with a layer of shadow: "...Is it that guy?"

Bomb, replicating the scene of his past partner's death, each of these words was enough to shock Toru Amuro.

But in fact, they were all a step too late, leaving Songjiang Xun alone to face the shadow of the past.

"Obviously, Matsue can't be provoked now." Akai Shuichi looked at Amuro Toru, his olive green eyes slightly opened, "What do you think I want to do?"

Looking at his instructor who was feeling guilty and with whom he had not even had a proper conversation, he was now lying in the arms of the FBI, whom he hated the most.

He thought he wanted to do something.

Rather, Akai Shuichi almost...

Amuro Toru felt as if he had been stabbed hard. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why did you put a wire on him?"

"It was an accident." Akai Shuichi said, "Matsue asked me to bring the information. He wanted to work. It was getting cold today, and I saw he was wearing thin clothes, so I put on a coat."

If it weren't for this coat, the consequences would be disastrous.

Toru Amuro was speechless for a moment. He reached out to touch Matsue Shunya, but was afraid of hurting him in his current state, so he just clenched his fists.

But another question arose in my mind: why didn't Akai Shuichi seem surprised at all?

***

...These adults seemed to know something that he didn't know, even Haibara Ai found it particularly strange.

Conan Edogawa pursed his lips and looked around, but he knew in his heart that this was not the time to ask these questions in detail. He squatted down, and his eyes just happened to meet Matsue Xun's hanging hands.

He reached out his hand and touched it lightly - it was so cold!

"Brother Amuro." Edogawa Conan tugged at the corner of the clothes of Toru Amuro who was squatting next to him, "Mr. Akai's clothes must be stained with blood. They will be very cold when wet. You..."

"I see."

Amuro Toru answered very quickly. Before Conan Edogawa could react, he had already taken off his light brown coat and looked directly at Akai Shuichi: "I'll help Matsue change."

Akai Shuichi paused and said, "Do you have experience in taking care of people?"

When he was Furuya Rei before, he had taken care of the sick Morobushi Kagemitsu, but he was still a man after all, and if you ask about taking care of a patient...

Amuro smiled with a fake smile: "I don't have it, do you have it?"

Akai Shuichi narrowed his eyes behind his prescription glasses, resembling the gentle and considerate image of Okiya Subaru.

He didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and skillfully unbuttoned Matsue Xunye's coat, and threw the black coat aside in a few seconds.

The young man wearing only a hospital gown looked even thinner. The wound on his right forearm was no longer bleeding, but the bright red blood clotted on it, still looking a little creepy.

Conan Edogawa pursed his lips and subconsciously glanced at Haibara Ai beside him, but found that the brown-haired girl's pupils were dilated, and he didn't know where her thoughts drifted.

"Haibara?" He couldn't help but call out.

Huibara shuddered sadly, with an indescribable sadness in her eyes.

Edogawa Conan no longer believed the so-called "gentle like a sister" nonsense.

***

"...Please give me your coat." Akai Shuichi said "please" but actually reached out to grab it, exuding his arrogant attitude to the fullest.

Toru Amuro was shocked by his skillful operation and was actually pulled away by him.

Just like an experienced father dressing a doll, Shuichi Akai's expression didn't even change. He put the coat on the doll with just a loose movement of his hands, and considerately avoided the wound.

Then he adjusted the collar of Songjiang Xunye and pulled out the hair that was pressed down.

He gave Amuro Toru a provocative smile: "I do have experience."

He had taken meticulous care of this young man for several months.

But if possible, Shuichi Akai hopes that this will not happen again.

Amuro Toru took a deep breath, wishing he could slap the bastard to death.

He fully realized that Shuichi Akai and his gang had ulterior motives. Even though they had only met with Matsue Shunye a few times, they wanted to repeat their old FBI tactics.

When Songjiang wakes up, he will definitely tell him about this! !

“Ahem…”

Suddenly, there were a few barely audible coughs. The blond young man, who had been motionless just now, shook his head. His scattered hair, which had just been tidied up, fell down, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly, looking like he was about to wake up.

Akai Shuichi paused in pulling at the corner of his clothes: "Matsue?"

Song Jiangxun also opened his eyes the next moment.

He sat up suddenly, his left hand still on Akai Shuichi's shoulder, and coughed violently towards the ground.

"Matsue!"/"Brother Songjiang! Are you okay?"

Several people were startled by his dramatic reaction and immediately came over. Even Haibara Ai cried out in tears.

"I'm fine... cough cough cough!"

Song Jiangxun also spoke intermittently, with a sickly blush on his pale face, which made people feel breathless.

As Toru Amuro patted him on the back from top to bottom to calm him down, he said, "Don't be in a hurry to speak, speak slowly..."

Before he finished speaking, Songjiang Xunye's right hand suddenly rested on his shoulder, and as if he was not aware of his own wound, it gradually tightened.

Toru Amuro met the pair of cobalt blue eyes that looked at him suddenly. There was a layer of mist in them, and he looked particularly confused.

The gaze passed across his face again.

“Chi…cough cough…!”

The young man put one hand on a man, and his cobalt blue eyes, which were watery due to coughing, looked around blankly.

Which one is...?

Akai Shuichi thought that Matsue Shun was also calling him, but he saw that the young man cast his eyes on Amuro Toru.

But soon, he turned his head away, as if he was facing a multiple-choice question with no correct option.

It doesn’t seem to be…

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The coughing seemed to be unstoppable, and Song Jiangxun suddenly lowered his head, trying to close his mouth and hold it in, but his body still couldn't stop shaking.

"Don't hold it in, it will hurt your lungs!" The only one with medical skills, Huibara Ai, rushed over and put her hand on the trachea on his neck.

The next moment, the coughing young man suddenly covered his mouth, and thin streams of blood flowed down his fingertips, staining the brown jacket he had just put on again, and splashing shocking blood spots on it.

Huihara Ai was almost frightened and screamed, but before she could make a sound, Matsue Xun suddenly hugged her.

The young man seemed to have found his last straw, and coughing mixed with unclear words rang in her ears.

"Ahem...Ahem...Ai, don't tell anyone...Don't tell Amuro Toru, ahem...Don't...!"

The voice was vague and persistent, so quiet that only she could hear it, but it sounded like it was talking about something serious, like the sky was falling.

Haibara Ai felt her back gradually getting wet. The cold and sticky feeling was uncomfortable, but she didn't even have the courage to push it away.

"I know, I know!" the brown-haired girl kept responding, almost choking with sobs, "I know..."

The experience of being A is a dark shame that can never be exposed to the police.

This is a program ingrained in our bones and cannot be deleted even by formatting.
