Chapter 148 Final Battle
379.
Chiyoya Saori was glad that she had taken a painkiller quickly. Looking at the sudden increase in the battle damage value, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: [If it were someone else, it would be cold! ]
Q version customer service: [Be more confident and remove the word "fear". ]
So how did Conan Edogawa get to such a dangerous place!
Chiyoya Saori pulled Conan Edogawa out of her arms. The little detective was speechless for a long time, with tears in his eyes. He must have been beaten to a pulp.
She stroked his aho-hair, held him aside, and walked straight into the cave.
Although it looks pitch black from the other end of the crack, as it is a cave with airflow and the other end is connected to a steep cliff, the lighting is good. It becomes brighter as you go deeper in, and soon you can see a lot of grass clippings piled at the exit.
I don’t know what kind of bird this is.
Chiyoya Saori shot and robbed the nest directly, and started a fire in the process.
After a while, the cave became bright. The fire from the burning grass and wood could be easily extinguished, but it was abundant.
Chiyoya Saori dusted off her body and asked the customer service: [Does it look okay to me? ]
The Q version of the customer service praised her: [Very good, very energetic! ]
Chiyoya Saori breathed a sigh of relief. She really needed to maintain her image right now!
Unfortunately, Conan Edogawa is here, so she can't cheat. It might be difficult for her to survive this period of time.
The Q version customer service comforted her: [Don't panic, someone will come to pick you up in half a month at the latest. There are bird eggs here, and there is no shortage of food. ]
Chiyotani Saori: “???” Is this what you call comfort?
A psychology professor in the United States conducted an experiment in which he trapped a very healthy person who did not suffer from claustrophobia or other related mental illnesses in a place and told him that he would have no worries about food and clothing, but he was trapped.
An average person can only hold out for a week at most; any longer and their mental state will be permanently affected.
Not to mention that this is a cave, there is no signal and no entertainment facilities.
Chiyoya Saori still has a customer service representative and a forum to chat with her, so what can this little detective do?
She didn't want Conan Edogawa to suffer from PTSD.
Chiyotani had already started weaving hemp.
She began to think about how to properly and legally knock Conan Edogawa unconscious for a few days so that he could pass the level without any pain.
[Is it time to act now?] Someone muttered to himself and started to act more.
The Q version of the customer service looked at Chiyoya Saori who was starting to make plans, and silently lit a candle for Edogawa Conan.
In order to let my dear act more comfortably, it is better not to tell her about the camera on Conan Edogawa.
It thought angrily, why should Red Fang cry with it this time...
…
Conan Edogawa finally recovered from his stress and sat up. What he saw was a burning ball of fire. Bird droppings replaced the grass clippings as combustibles. Apart from some black smoke, it was not bad.
The man, who seemed completely unaffected, quickly cleared a clean area. He lowered his head and used the firelight to check if there were any potentially dangerous objects around him.
Conan Edogawa subconsciously touched his pocket and found that the detective badge had been torn and could not be used; he wanted to find his cell phone but didn't know where it fell. Only two bottles of water and a bag of cookies in his bag were still alive.
How long can this last?! There are two of us!
His face turned pale and he shouted nervously, "Brother Che! Have you found a way out?"
Chiyodani Toru raised his head and smiled at him soothingly, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "There is no danger in the cave for the time being. There is a chance if we wait for rescue."
Conan Edogawa shuddered immediately: "This place is so remote, what if no one finds us..."
No way! If I didn't die instantly from the fall, would I have to wait for a slow death?
"It'll be alright, Conan." An exceptionally calm voice sounded, "I'll definitely get out."
Chiyodani Toru sat opposite to Edogawa Conan, slightly bent his legs, and the wide sleeves of his windbreaker covered the wound, making him look particularly energetic and safe.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time and even had a quarrel that ended with them going their separate ways, they were still neighbors for many years after all.
Not to mention that the smile on his face at this moment was particularly familiar. After taking off his glasses, Edogawa Conan's vigilance was completely eliminated.
Chiyotani Toru asked, "Why are you here?"
Conan Edogawa hesitated for a moment, and just said that he was here for a picnic, but got lost, subconsciously hiding his guilt for making a big deal out of it.
The man listened to his explanation quietly, and finally said: "Conan, I remember telling you before..."
Conan Edogawa habitually makes an apologetic gesture, as if it's engraved in his DNA: "Tetsu-kun, I was wrong, I shouldn't... ahem!"
Before he finished speaking, Chiyodani Toru laughed out loud.
Feeling that he had overreacted, the young detective blushed for some reason. After thinking for a while, he took out the food from his backpack and pushed it to the center. He said solemnly: "This can hold out for a while, if someone can find us in a short time!"
Then, he said, as if to cover up, "I'll go see if there's any place where I can save myself."
He hurried to the other end of the cave, actually knocked on the live broadcast button hanging on his chest, and called out to Huibara Ai in a low voice.
Chiyoya Saori looked at the pile of food and touched her chin.
Sure enough, Conan Edogawa is still the kind-hearted high school detective who saves murderers, and his values are extremely positive.
If Conan were to eat all this food by himself, he could at least double the time he could last. But if an adult were to join in, he wouldn't be able to last much longer.
Q version of customer service complains: [It may also be that they feel that they can't beat you, so they might as well just tell you directly. 】
Chiyoya Saori said with a smile: [He can't possibly think that way, where does your prejudice come from? ]
The Q version of the customer service groaned: [Don't think I can't see that this guy is still very afraid of you! Obviously, you saved him this time. ]
After all, Edogawa Conan only understood part of the story and didn't know the whole picture.
Or maybe after discovering that it was Shuichi Akai who was fighting Chiyodani Saori, he subconsciously sided with the latter.
Chiyoya Saori doesn't know when Conan Edogawa and Shuichi Akai became so close. Maybe it's just the mutual respect between the big and small silver bullets?
She calmly said the cruel words: [It's okay, I can make him more afraid of me later.]
If you want to prevent Conan Edogawa from thinking about the nonsense that makes him trapped, the best way is to attract his hatred, divert his attention, and then make him unconscious for a few days to blur his concept of time.
Chiyoya Sayori pretending to be gentle doesn't work, so she has to take a thunderous attitude.
She touched her chin, ready to follow Conan Edogawa's behavior and respond accordingly - after all, this detective boy would probably lose his patience and interrogate her.
The Q version of the customer service only said: [Please, let my male god be a little more brutal, if the child is disobedient, just beat him up and that's it! ]
Chiyotani Saori: […Watch less of the hellish parenting stuff! ]
380.
Conan Edogawa tried a series of attempts to save himself, such as kicking the belt football upwards with his feet or throwing the retractable belt, but all failed.
It was almost dark at this time. Looking from the cave entrance, one could see a stretch of crimson forest in the distance, connected to the sky. It was a stunning natural landscape.
However, neither of them had the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Edogawa Conan turned around with his head down, then came back and sat on the ground.
He looked at the man in front of him who had closed his eyes and began to rest: Chiyodani Toru's lips were a little pale, and his fingers were tapping rhythmically on the stone wall. His eyebrows were very gentle, and he did not have the cold look he had when he fought with Matsuda Jinpei.
Although Edogawa Conan still feels cold on his head.
It looks like Che Ge is in good condition?
He pursed his lips, and as expected, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Brother Che... let's talk."
He wondered why it had happened.
381.
Since Conan Edogawa is missing, Dr. Agasa naturally doesn't dare to let the other children run around, but he waited for a long time, and what he got was a call from Haibara Ai asking them to leave that place as soon as possible.
The little girl was dozing off while reading a book, but when she suddenly looked up, she found the screen was on and Conan Edogawa was fiddling with something in a dark place. The camera turned and revealed the appearance of another person.
Huiyuan Ai: My heart is broken.jpg
She quickly determined the situation and figured out how Conan Edogawa was chasing Granmani and ended up being trapped somewhere together. Without much hesitation, she immediately contacted Rei Furuya and others.
For a moment, Hong Fang was furious.
After Chiyodani Toru left, he basically disappeared. He either followed Gin to chase the FBI, or occasionally gave them some intelligence, more like a neutral third party.
When Rei Furuya was Bourbon, he could occasionally meet him, but that was only when he delivered the antidote last time. It can be said that the others didn't even have a chance to apologize.
So, Huiyuan Ai looked at the three policemen who appeared behind her and couldn't help but twitched her lips: "Aren't you busy?"
"The defeat of the organization is a foregone conclusion. We have started to relocate now and have someone specifically to deal with them." Furuya Rei explained, "Gin and the boss are nowhere to be found for the time being, so we have no right to deal with other things."
Matsuda Jinpei said simply: "Vacation."
Hagiwara Kenji put it more bluntly: "Resign."
"Kagemitsu went to Akai Shuichi to ask for justice." Furuya Ling's purple-gray eyes were full of coldness, "Toru ran into the FBI this morning... That guy dared to really do it! He knew clearly that it was him who organized the show!"
He was so angry that he punched the table next to him and said with gritted teeth: "I told him that if he dares to resist, he can go back to America!"
"Those guys should have been kicked out long ago." Matsuda's face was gloomy. "Don't they have their own territory?"
Although the few people could not see where Chiyodani Toru was injured, he fell into the hole, which was obviously a chain reaction caused by Akai Shuichi.
Several people in the police academy were very unhappy about this. If they hadn't heard the information about Chiyodani Toru, they would have rushed here without a moment's delay and would have wanted to beat up Akai Shuichi first.
As for whether Chiyodani Toru really attacked Akai Shuichi, what does it have to do with them?
"Let's look at this first... what's going on, Toru seems to be talking to Conan about something." Hagiwara Kenji interrupted the anger of the others and signaled them to focus on the present.
Conan Edogawa is asking Chiyodani Toru why he wants to stay in the organization and why he wants to attack them.
The 17-year-old boy who only sees black and white is ultimately too well protected. His parents, family background, and friends around him have all destined him to have difficulty coming into contact with the reality of darkness. Even when he met Gin and his body became smaller, he was able to escape danger time and time again under the will of the world.
In his opinion, Chiyotani Toru may have fallen into darkness because of the brainwashing drug incident, but hasn't that been lifted? Then why does he continue to stay there?
Obviously all his friends and family are waiting for him to come back.
The man being questioned just lowered his eyes and turned over the fire to prevent it from going out. His expression was extremely calm. He only said one sentence: "Conan, you are smart, but you are not Sherlock Holmes."
Sherlock Holmes has seen the dark side of the world, but Kudo Shinichi has not.
People always like to regard those bizarre things they have never seen as fiction, or just leave a faint shadow in their minds.
It's like Conan Edogawa couldn't figure out what Chiyodani Toru had been through no matter how hard he tried.
The people who saw this scene were silent.
Matsuda Jinpei subconsciously covered his face and trembled all over. The wounds on his arms that had been torn multiple times and had not yet fully healed were stinging, making him even more irritated. He said in a hoarse voice, "No one told him the truth?"
No one told Conan Edogawa why Chiyodani Toru didn't come back to them?
Why the hell let Conan Edogawa ask the person in question why he did that?
Furuya clenched his fists subconsciously, his face grim: "I originally thought that Conan shouldn't get involved in this, he... is too naive."
At that time, it was the plan discussed by Conan Edogawa and Shuichi Akai, and Rei Furuya and others were overwhelmed by the truth that "Chiyodani Toru is equal to Granmani", and after a brief thought, they agreed to their plan and hid it from Jinpei Matsuda and others.
In fact, Shuichi Akai is a man who puts his goal first and completely ignores the issues of emotions and ties. He just wants to get the things and arrest Granmani.
The result was just as he expected. No one in the police academy team took into account Chiyodani Toru's pain and severed all ties between them with their own hands.
This incident has caused several people great pain. There was even a moment when they wanted to tell Conan Edogawa everything directly and let him and Shuichi Akai be beaten up together.
But in the end, when meeting those innocent blue eyes, Rei Furuya did not tell Conan Edogawa the truth at this critical moment, which was enough to make him question his life.
Because it's useless. Telling it will only make Edogawa Conan feel shocked, and the person involved won't want to accept anything.
He just thought that once the organization was destroyed and Tooru's efforts were proven, it would be up to him to choose whether to accept their apology.
Just wait a little longer, it will be over soon.
But this situation does not include Conan Edogawa directly finding Chiyodani Toru and asking him the truth in person.
This is not a confession, not an apology, but a bloody secondary injury.
Why can't you be willing to go back to them?
Because I can't.
The star of justice has been praised too highly, like a fragile and beautiful porcelain, which can have dazzling colors under the sun, but can be destroyed by a gentle breeze or the removal of the baffle.
——It will fall down with a "bang" and break into pieces.
Chiyodani Toru was unwilling to accept this situation. The only two important things in his life, his career and his friends, left him one by one, so he was left with only himself as the last fuel for the flames of revenge.
The firewood was so thin that everyone who knew about it was cautious and did not dare to go forward to disturb it for fear of accidentally breaking it.
——This is why, after everyone noticed Chiyodani Toru's attitude, they all tacitly chose to watch from a distance.
In the final analysis, they are still afraid of the indifferent eyes that look at them without them.
Kenji Hagiwara put his hand on his forehead, speechless for a moment, then he punched himself hard.
"Why?" He could hardly stop the trembling in his words, "Why do I feel... Conan..."
The rest of the words were too hard to say.
The strong feeling of suffocation made his head dizzy. Hagiwara Kenji couldn't understand why he thought Conan was a child and didn't tell him about his mistakes, but made the decision for Chiyodani Toru on his own initiative.
"Toru is such a gentle person, she definitely doesn't want Conan to suffer."
What was the basis for him to say that at that time?
It was as if all three of them were blinded by this blind sense of responsibility and adult responsibility.
Everyone thought that there was no need to let Conan know the truth of the past, and there was no need to destroy his thorough worldview.
However, this is an unfair harm in itself, so why do we have to use age as an excuse to pretend to be kind?
This truth is so obvious that no one realized that something was wrong until secondary injury occurred again, right before their eyes.
The three of them were so frightened that they wished they could drill into the screen, cover Edogawa Conan's mouth, and then get down on the ground and confess their mistakes.
"I've already asked someone to look for them." Furuya Ling said hoarsely, "We have to find them as soon as possible."
He knew that Chiyodani Toru would not tell Edogawa Conan the truth, so he would still choose to swallow all the bitterness.
But Rei Furutani won't.
He knew he was wrong, and he also knew how meaningless his tolerance towards Conan Edogawa was.
He will let Conan Edogawa see the truth and will no longer treat him as a child who knows nothing.
So please don't be too late, give him one last chance.
…
The conversation between Conan Edogawa and Toru Chiyodani is still going on. Just as the three of them thought, in the face of the former's questions, Toru Chiyodani always answers lightly.
He concealed his past experiences, saying only that he was temporarily acting as an insider in the organization, and that he had not done anything for the organization, nor had he had any conflicts with the police academy group.
Conan Edogawa nodded and asked cautiously, "So, Tetsu-kun, how did you get injured?"
"...Some minor mistakes." The black-haired man paused and said lightly, "No big deal."
Liar! It's obviously very serious!
Conan Edogawa's eyes showed worry. Chiyodani Toru's injuries were only bandaged hastily without any medicine applied, and it was obviously impossible to treat the wound in this environment.
He pursed his lips and said, "Brother Che, please rinse the wound with water first, otherwise it will easily get inflamed."
"There's not much water, so use it sparingly." Chiyotani Toru seemed a little dizzy, and slowly closed his eyes, saying in a low voice, "You should go to sleep."
Conan Edogawa doesn't want to sleep. He seems to have asked a lot of questions, but in fact, there is no way to piece them together with strict logic. In particular, Chiyodani Toru and Akai Shuichi seem to be really angry, and there is no so-called alliance at all.
Not to mention... he felt that Che's attitude was still a bit strange.
It's like a layer of steel plate covered with soft cotton wool. It looks particularly soft, but it's still as hard as iron underneath.
The memory of the man who smiled, touched his head and gave him mints seemed to be blurred for a moment.
He asked, "Did Mr. Akai hurt you?"
As soon as this question was asked, the air seemed to stagnate and the only sound that could be heard was the crackling of the flames.
The man opened his eyes, his dark pupils were as deep as the ocean thousands of miles below.
He spoke, his voice was deep and steady, without the softness that had slipped away at the beginning, and said: "Shinichi, considering that we have known each other for nearly ten years, are you willing to believe me?"
After I saved you and personally admitted that I would deal with the organization.
…
The faces of the people watching at Dr. Agasa's house turned pale instantly, including Haibara Ai.
Haibara Ai, who knew Conan Edogawa's temper very well, cursed softly: "Kudo Shinichi, why do you have to keep a big mouth!"
In this case, don't insist on provoking people with the so-called truth!
Compared to Haibara Ai who was worried that Edogawa Conan would be hurt, the three members of the police academy team were completely numb, and the psychological shadow that had never left them surged up again.
They seemed to see Chiyodani Toru asking them disappointedly why the USB flash drive was more important than him and why they were unwilling to believe him.
Jinpei Matsuda felt a chill deep in his heart. His fists loosened and clenched again, and finally fell on his thigh. He bit his lower lip uncontrollably, and eventually left a wound.
A drop of blood dripped down his lip onto the white shirt he was wearing today, and it was too obvious to ignore.
Like guilt.
They were wrong... They regretted not telling the truth to Conan Edogawa and why they indirectly let the tragedy of the past happen again.
And they could only watch.
I could only watch helplessly and could do nothing.
…
Edogawa Conan was indeed silent, his exceptionally clear blue eyes reflected the firelight, like a long-lasting flame burning in his heart, and finally fell on Chiyodani Toru.
"Brother Che, thank you for saving me at all costs." He said softly, "I am willing to believe you, really, but I hope..."
I hope you can tell me why you took it so seriously with Mr. Akai and the others?
The rest of the words were never uttered, as the man who had just been leaning against the stone wall tiredly suddenly jumped up and almost fiercely grabbed his neck.
The originally calm and gentle face finally revealed the pain and resentment that could not be hidden, and in the black eyes there was only the figure of Edogawa Conan struggling.
It's like a balloon that has been fully inflated. After being injected with more gas, it explodes. Rather than being a gift of blessing, it's more like a weapon that can hurt people.
"Why! Why?!" He asked as if he was breaking down, "What do you want me to do to trust Chiyodani Toru? What do you want?"
Edogawa Conan's face turned pale and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. He looked at the man who was suddenly excited in panic, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
How...can he trust Chiyodani Toru?
"Haven't I done well enough? Isn't there anything different about me?" The man's hands tightened involuntarily. He said in a hoarse voice, resentfully, "When the police wanted intelligence, I gave it to them. I didn't kill the police officers because I couldn't. I didn't use my full strength in the fight with Akai Shuichi. I even tried to comfort the policemen and said I forgave them!"
"What else do you want?"
Conan Edogawa's face turned purple. He wanted to take out his anesthetic watch, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He listened to the excited words of the man in front of him, but felt like he was dreaming.
What are these words?
Who does he look like?
There seemed to be a shadow swaying in front of the young detective. The young man who helped him pull up his schoolbag and handed him candy waved at him; the young man who spoke to him gently and called him Miss Huibara looked at him with some melancholy.
Then he walked away, farther and farther away.
The clear and gentle eyes were closed, and there were many scars on the pale skin. The clean and upright police uniform had turned into a blood-stained black uniform.
The man with the metal glasses turned around for the last time and looked at him coldly and with resentment.
"You know nothing, so what right do you have to say that about him?"
"If it weren't for you...why wouldn't he wake up...why wouldn't he let us go..."
The sound like crying blood directly awakened Conan Edogawa's hallucination. He struggled and uttered a vague sound, and finally figured out the truth from the haze.
Why is Che Ge so hot and cold, and has such a weird attitude? Why do those police choose to avoid painfully about Che Ge's affairs? Why... He knows nothing, but still can't equate the present him with the past him.
Because they are not one person.
So who is he suspecting and hurting?
Conan Edogawa recalled his disbelief when he heard the news that Chiyodani Toru had fallen into the sea. He thought, Toru obviously cared so much about these police friends, how could he end up like that?
Is that organization really that powerful?
This seems to be different from the organization he knew, which had suffered repeated defeats...
So is the information he knows now really true?
Conan Edogawa suddenly felt that his memory had become extremely unreliable.
"I thought I was being too extreme," Granmani said coldly. "I thought if I could just let him feel that someone still cared about him, he would wake up."
“But no.”
No one would believe Chiyodani Toru's position, because there was always something else that was more important and more trustworthy than him.
He has always been just one person.
Conan Edogawa's consciousness became increasingly blurred. He felt himself being thrown against the wall and then falling into a cold embrace.
382.
[The white cherry blossoms flying all over the sky were like a blizzard, shaking the entire consciousness space. The petals that fell on the ground gradually turned blood red, blooming layer by layer, and then restrainedly returning to their original appearance.
The young man leaning against the cherry tree opened his eyes after a long absence and looked at everything in a daze.
Looking at the little detective with fear and panic on his face.
He subconsciously reached out his hand and pushed his wet aho-hair back, and was careful not to let the blood from the wounds that had burst due to excitement fall on his body.
Someone seemed to stumble over to him and accused him in a low, aggrieved voice: "I knew it, I knew it, you would only wake up when they were in danger, right?"
But when Chiyodani Toru turned around, he only saw a flame that was about to go out. 】
