Go back two minutes.

When Gin's fingertips touched the door, Matsue Shigure grabbed his wrist without hesitation.

Some of the sharp nails dug into the killer's tight forearm, scraping out a few strands of blood.

"GIN..." The blond young man licked his dry lips, his eyes hazy, "I remember that every time you had a mission that went wrong, something unexpected would happen."

The silver-haired killer narrowed his eyes.

"Ahem, for example, when you were handing over to the leader of the Muddy Society, you shot and killed the sneaky minions and insisted on killing them all, which attracted the police."

That was a few years ago, and A had not yet been exposed to the eyes of the organization members. Most of the time, he was assisting the young and energetic Gin, or in other words - in the trial period.

Making too much noise and attracting the police is the most basic thing.

Matsue Shigure suspected that Gin was able to do something like sweeping across Tokyo Tower with a helicopter simply because he was capable of finishing it and was used to it.

"And last time with the Yamaguchi-gumi..."

Matsue Shigure delayed time, pressing his heels against the door to give some time for the idiot inside who didn't want to leave to react.

He spoke intermittently about the "past" that had been forgotten, coughing from time to time, and the punctuation of each sentence was a little sluggish, like an aging computer that required all its energy to operate.

Gin narrowed his eyes and listened to the man in front of him telling him all the dark things in his history. His finger on the trigger was ready to move.

Only Matsue Shigure knew these things, and he wanted to keep them secret.

"You remember it all now," he said coldly.

Songjiang Shigure chuckled and said word by word: "I will never forget anything."

That's all his fault.

Gin understood the meaning of his words and sneered. He let go of his hand and stood up.

Matsue Shigure: "Oh, looking at his expression, he is obviously impressed by my memory ability~"

System: "I'm the one who remembered everything! You're just a gamer!!"

Songjiang Shigure: "What's yours is mine. You say one thing and I say another. Isn't that enough to prove the depth of our love, everyone?"

System: “…” The dog host is becoming more and more shameless.

The stalemate had lasted for almost two minutes, and Songjiang Shiyu felt that it was a bit long, the kind that if it lasted any longer the medical miracle would be over.

Just as he was about to do something, Gin suddenly raised his knee and knocked the gun he was holding to the ground.

In a flash, the silver-haired killer grabbed Matsue Shigure's shoulders, brought him to his side, and reached out to open the door behind him.

Songjiang Shigure's pupils trembled: "!!!" This bastard has no moral principles!

But when Gin's hand just fell on the door handle, there was a dull explosion, and then the whole ship began to tremble, and a crack appeared under their feet in an instant.

Gin's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly looked at the blond young man standing beside him: "You——!"

Songjiang Shigure looked at him quietly, without the slightest emotion.

Gin opened the door and found that there was no one inside. He could only feel a blinding white light mixed with a loud rumbling sound coming from under his feet.

Matsue Shigure actually detonated the bomb directly!

Gin almost laughed angrily. He grabbed Matsue Shigure's shoulders, took a few steps back fiercely, and looked at him fiercely: "Do you really want to die?"

Matsue Shigure: ...Will anyone believe him if he says it wasn’t him?

System: "Fuck, I get it. You were just trying to be cool and threw the box containing the time bomb that Rum made into the sea, right? Your dear student made a bomb in this ship and also smashed the ship."

Matsue Shigure: "!!! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

System: “Don’t you know that yourself?”

Matsue Shigure: “I forgot!”

System: “…” Which dog just said that he had a better memory?

Songjiang Shigure was arguing with the system, but on the surface he still had a cool expression that said "what can you do to me".

The last time I jumped into the sea and logged out, the settlement interface got stuck. Songjiang Shigure swam freestyle for a distance in the sea, which helped to improve his swimming proficiency.

The ship is about to explode now, it's better to go down by yourself than to be kidnapped by Gin!

Anyway, he won't die, so he can just sneak back to the Victory later.

Bye bye gin sauce.

Taking advantage of Gin's distraction, Matsue Shigure immediately released his last wave of energy and rushed towards the edge of the deck.

"Gin, hurry up!"

Chianti's anxious voice came from the helicopter, and the rope ladder was already hanging beside it.

Gin didn't expect that Matsue Shigure would run to the deck without hesitation, as if he would rather die than go back with him.

His expression suddenly darkened, and he raised his gun and shot Matsue Shigure in the leg.

"Bang!"

At the same time, another bullet was fired from the side walkway. The two bullets collided with incredible precision, bursting into bright flames in the air, and finally bounced onto the already cracked deck.

Matsue Shigure didn't notice any of this at all. His physical values ​​had been messed up by the system, just like the last time there was a bug. All five senses were a little out of whack - being able to maintain the appearance of being able to fight was not without a price.

He held onto the railing and looked up, just in time to see the fireworks display which had not yet ended.

Tsk, if Rum had started planning an hour later, he could have enjoyed the fireworks.

"What do you mean by 'I'm done and I'm leaving'?" He said to the system in his heart with great enthusiasm, "Wait for me to show you a perfect splash!"

The system was extremely nervous; it had never seen a player messing with data like this.

System: "Are you going to jump or not? I tell you, if the data keeps jumping around a few more times, it will really get messed up and you will be finished!"

The deck shook violently, and the player who was pretending to be cool just a second ago stumbled. Songjiang Shigure coughed softly and said, "Jump, jump, jump!"

It is impossible to suppress the splash, so the player tried his best to choose a posture that would not lose his style, howling in his heart, "This is the taste of freedom!", and then got out of here quickly.

Before falling into the sea, Songjiang Shigure suddenly said, "Is someone calling me?"

System: "Then you crawl back?"

Songjiang Shigure did not answer it.

The sudden fire on the ship merged with the brilliant fireworks on the opposite side. The lights of the helicopter were reflected on the dark night sky, blocking out the brightness of the stars.

The stage of heaven and earth.

Songjiang Shigure consciously stretched out his hand to block in front of him, circling the largest and most brilliant fireworks.

So beautiful.

**************

Gin felt a sudden, almost stabbing pain on his back, and he fell to the ground and rolled over, avoiding the sniper bullet coming from a distance.

When he stood up again, he had already missed the last chance to catch Matsue Shigure.

The blond young man supported himself with his hands and put his back foot on the railing. His pale lips opened and closed, revealing a faint smile between his breaths.

It seemed that he didn't care at all who fired the shot. Matsue Shigure didn't look at him, nor did he look to the side. His eyes, which were blocked by the lenses, rose up and finally fell on the sky.

Without any hesitation, he fell backwards and disappeared into the pure black where the sea and the sky met.

Just like two years ago, he fired the gun and A disappeared in the misty sea, without any hesitation or explanation.

A sniper in the dark, a bomb that exploded suddenly, a fearless jump into the sea... Is this what Matsue Shigure was planning by cooperating with the police?

He even risked his own life just to make the organization lose everything.

Unfortunately, he doesn't intend to let it go!

Gin quickly climbed onto the helicopter using the ladder, ignoring Chianti's provocative words of "shoot the police".

He covered his arm that had just been hit by a bullet from somewhere and said coldly, "Hurry up and go back to point A first. Except for Cohen, follow me to find someone else!"

Chianti looked at him in disbelief. "What did you say? Why didn't Cohen go?"

Gin called Vodka, who was in charge of logistics at the port, and sneered, "Then you fly the plane?"

Chianti: “…”

The angry sniper swore, and she remembered what she had just seen.

While Gin was still climbing the ladder, a figure held onto the railing and leaped forward.

************

"Why did that ship over there suddenly explode?"

"Oh my god, is this a show effect or a terrorist attack? I think I heard gunshots!"

"Why are there so many helicopters in the sky? Where are the police? Why don't the police come out to explain?"

"Ahem." Megure Jusan's serious voice came from the loudspeaker, "Everyone please be patient, this is a drill conducted simultaneously by the police and the Suzuki Group, it will not cause any harm to anyone, we solemnly promise..."

The broadcast was repeated three times, barely calming the panicked crowd. The only person left in the crowd who looked puzzled was Suzuki Sonoko.

"How come I didn't know that our family was cooperating with the police?" The second daughter of the Suzuki family said in disbelief, "This is the Goddess!"

She just promised Mao Lilan and the others that she would take them upstairs to watch the sunrise over the sea!

Next to her, Mao Lilan covered her chest with her hands, her face extremely pale: "Conan...?"

"Where is Conan?" Ran Mouri looked at the burning Goddess in the distance in confusion, and her eyes wandered among the crowd, but she couldn't find the familiar figure.

Suzuki Sonoko hugged Mao Lilan and comforted her, "Don't worry, didn't that little brat say he was going to help the police with the case?"

"But..." Mao Lilan pursed her lips, "I feel a little panic in my heart."

This feeling has appeared many times, and every time it appears, whether it is Conan or Shinichi, there will always be something wrong.

Could this explosion have anything to do with him?

Next to the two of them, Azusa Enomoto's smile also disappeared from her face. She frowned and murmured, "The guy from Matsue should have stayed with Conan. Although he looks stupid, he's actually very reliable... right?"

As they said this, the three of them panicked. They pushed through the crowd and hurried to the police to get clarification.

************

"Matsue Shigure!"

Toru Amuro's hoarse voice was drowned out by the loud explosion. The frightened man, holding a gun, ran down the aisle at an extremely fast speed.

The uneven terrain caused by the cracks on the wooden deck did not stop him for a moment. His eyes were only fixed on the statue not far away.

Toru Amuro didn't know why the bomb exploded again.

When he noticed that Gin and Matsue Shigure were in a stalemate, Toru Amuro decisively took Conan Edogawa and left along the passage.

He threw the all-round little detective onto the yacht and chose to return from the outer deck without hesitation.

He had only walked halfway when he heard a rumbling sound beneath his feet, and instantly changed his movements from walking to running, and then to a rapid sprint.

When he saw that figure appear in his field of vision and gradually approach the railing, Amuro was almost tearing his eyes out.

What on earth does this guy want to do?

It was as if he had returned to the nightmare of two years ago. As a public security officer lying in ambush in the dark, Toru Amuro had the opportunity to do something when Gin and A were confronting each other. However, he watched A take the initiative to receive the bullet and eventually fell into the sea.

At this time, a gunshot was heard. Amuro Toru raised his gun and fired reflexively. He watched the two bullets collide and explode with fire, and finally deflect to one side. He almost couldn't contain the excitement in his heart.

He blocked it! He successfully blocked the bullet!

As long as he blocks it, Matsue Shigure will not be hit by the bullet; as long as he passes by, Matsue Shigure will not be forced to jump into the sea by Gin!

His toes were caught on the raised wooden board and his arm hit the wall heavily. Amuro Toru did not pause for a moment. One of his contact lenses fell off, revealing his purple-gray eye, which was already wet with tears and sparkling.

The anger and guilt in my heart did not disappear, but were suppressed by even more surging emotions, leaving only a single thought.

Hold him!

Toru Amuro waited for Matsue Shigure to turn around, and when he saw him, he showed a surprised and helpless expression.

They can deal with Gin and keep him together!

As for everything else, Toru Amuro is willing to wait until the day when Matsue Shigure is willing to speak.

Give him a chance...

Things never go as he expects.

Matsue Shigure's hand finally touched the cold railing. He leaned against the railing, tilted his head slightly, and his blood-stained golden hair fell on his jet-black windbreaker, not swaying in the wind.

No one would doubt that he has no connection with the organization.

Amuro Toru stepped on the wall and crossed a very wide crack through which the sea water could be seen.

They were less than five steps apart.

However, Matsue Shigure seemed not to notice and did not even turn his head to give him a look.

Perhaps he has made his choice.

“Matsue Shigure!” Fear coiled up his body like a python wrapping around its prey. The man’s voice was hoarse and torn. “Don’t move!”

"I don't care who you are, stop right there!"

"You still owe me money for fifteen sandwiches and you said you would pay me back!"

"The last 10,000-word self-review has not yet been submitted..."

Toru Amuro no longer knew what he was saying, he didn't even know if he had shouted out loud or not.

Four steps, three steps——

The blond young man who had been staring at the sky suddenly smiled, as if he remembered something happy, or saw some happy people.

That world filled with strange illusions seemed to clear up the moment he made up his mind.

"Freedom..."

He still didn't turn his head, but just murmured softly.

It's like the flower language of the bird of paradise, flying freely in the sky.

But this is too difficult to do, both mentally and physically, we are bound by layers of chains.

Two steps, one step——

Jump up, reach out——

The first thing you get is cool air.

Toru Amuro crashed into the railing, his lungs twitching from the intense movement, causing him bursts of pain, and the world seemed to be spinning.

He didn't catch anything, and in the end, Matsue Shigure couldn't even see him.

The coward who was used to escaping could not endure any pressure after the barrier was broken.

All he could do was hold on tightly to the thin wooden door to keep the crisis out.

And then——disappeared.

Even at the end, facing Toru Amuro who was rushing towards him, all Matsue Shigure did was raise his hands to cover his eyes.

****************

The entire Goddess began to dive and was swallowed up at an extremely fast speed, but the burning flames illuminated the sea water in a crimson red.

The Victory had already begun to move away from this area of ​​the sea, and soon many yachts appeared, running rampant on the sea.

Morofushi Jingguang's hands were shaking. He watched Gin go up the rope ladder alone and be taken away by the roaring helicopter. It seemed that there was no need to think about who would be left on the boat.

Is he alive? Is he dead? Where is he?

They seemed to be prepared only for rum, so was the appearance of gin anticipated?

have no idea……

There was an extremely dry look in his eyes, as if they were burned by fire. Zhu Fu Jingguang blinked his eyes and didn't even know whether he was crying or not.

The years he spent in Northern Europe had greatly trained his nerves. Even now, what was still present in his mind was the floor plan of the Goddess. With Gin's position as the center point, he analyzed the possible locations of other people.

Where is it? Where is it!

The yacht quickly shuttled through the darkness, trying to find any unusual signs. Morofu Jingguang gritted his teeth and rushed into the still burning area.

The world suddenly seemed to be quiet.

"zero..."

He saw him.

I only saw him.
