Chapter 6969
The words of Chaori Xiqiu were spoken, and the scene fell into a brief silence.
Kitamura Aoi: “…Who?”
Asahi Yuqiu: "Gin," he repeated, "It sounds like a code name, and in fact, it is a code name."
Kitamura Aoi: Listening to your words is like listening to a conversation.jpg
"You can understand it as -" Asahi Yuki didn't know Gin's real name, but didn't want to seem too unfamiliar, so he just found another topic to continue, "Well, Watermelon Taro or something. That's about it."
This can't be compared! Kitamura Aoi's expression was a little blank, and her five fingers on the armrest couldn't help but clench. How can gin be equated with Watermelon Taro?
As a member of the Rose group, Kitamura Aoi certainly knows who Gin is. After all, Gin's position in the organization is very important and he is an extremely dangerous enemy.
If I remember correctly, Gin is the organization's top model worker, a famous top killer who can stop children and even adults from crying at night.
And such a senior member of the organization is actually the next successor of the Justice Army that [Nightingale] has entrusted to him? ? ?
Kitamura Aoi fell into a deep silence. She couldn't imagine the scene where Gin led the FBI, the police, and the CIA to rush forward in the final battle.
So weird. So abstract.
She thought that either she had heard it wrong, or the code names were the same... Yes, the code names must be the same!
Gin isn't a very unpopular drink, is it? You can find gin on supermarket shelves everywhere.
The Gin in the organization has not registered a trademark patent for the code name, so naturally other people can choose this as a code name.
Maybe this is also part of the [Nightingale] plan, deliberately letting the successor use the same code name as the organization's top killer, thereby confusing outsiders during the conversation and acting as a smokescreen, allowing the other party to hide and lurk more perfectly...
Kitamura Aoi let out a breath after thinking about it.
As expected of Nightingale, the layout is so ingenious. I shouldn't have doubted the wise leader who had experienced the dark storms.
She felt a little guilty for her subconscious questioning, so she stopped questioning and nodded, "Okay, I—we will all wait for your notification."
Kitamura Aoi is looking forward to meeting the other "Gin" who is entrusted with an important task.
The nightingale has been silent for too long. Now it is time to start singing again.

Asahi Yuaki originally planned to follow Akai Shuichi to visit Jianguoda Town, observe the local watermelons, and carefully analyze the relationship between their size and the local watermelon skin.
Just as he was walking passing by the street, he saw a huge cockroach suddenly appear in the night sky, so he looked up and was stunned.
"No, what is this???"
Why is there a giant cockroach? The style of the painting is wrong. Did he accidentally enter the world of Ultraman vs. Aliens?
Kitamura Aoi looked up and judged for two seconds, then said seriously, "It's an illusion. It looks like someone used black magic."
Chaori Xiqiu: “?”
A question mark slowly emerged above his head.
Asahi Yuki: "...Dark magic?"
No, what is black magic? Why does magic really exist in this world? ! Where did Hakuba-kun take him? ?
He frowned, thinking the problem was serious, and silently opened the bullet screen.
The translucent text was also scrolling very densely at this time.
[Oh wow, I saw Asahi appearing in Ekoda as soon as I clicked on it. Isn't this the territory of Kaito? ]
[I skipped the previous bullet screen. Asahi came to Ekoda Town to look for Kitamura Aoi and contacted his subordinates. I knew he was not a simple person!!]
[The authorities are keeping it a secret again, and the contact part is not even released in full... But there is a silhouette of Gin flashing by, and I feel like there is something big...]
[It stands to reason that there is no magic in the Detective world, right? Asahi's expression is stunned——]
[Even if you know there is magic, you will be stunned when you see a giant cockroach! ! What kind of tasteless villain actually used black magic to release a flying giant cockroach——]
[The production team has a bad taste, I’m sure]
[So, this is either a funny Easter egg from the production team, or a preview of Asahi joining the main storyline of Kaito? ]
Main plot? What main plot? Asahi Yuaki widened his eyes, shocked. Isn't the main plot with Conan? How come Jianggutian Town also has a main plot!
It turns out that this place is not a watermelon holy land far away from disputes and with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, but one of the main plot locations full of crises?
[Asahi has exchanged roles with Kuroba Kaito, and it seems like there will be more interactions. If this is a Magic Kaito preview, Asahi will be waiting in Ekoda Town to face the zoo enemies.]
Chaori Xiqiu: "..."
Asahi Yuqiu spoke decisively: "Return to Tokyo."
He now knew: the original name of the thief Kid was Kuroba Kaito, and the enemy in the main line of Jianggutian Town was a zoo.
Although I don't know what a zoo is, the magical animal world with magic is definitely not easy to deal with.
Run away overnight! He must run away overnight! QWQ
Compared with the magical world, Asahi Yuki suddenly felt that detective films with elementary school students as the protagonists were suddenly much safer. At least the accidents they experienced were very scientific... probably.
Akai Shuichi heard that Asahi Yuqiu was going back to Tokyo. After thinking for a while, he decided to go with him.
This decision was not made in order to dig out more details from Chaohi Xiqiu.
In fact, even if Asahi Yuaki doesn't go back now, Akai Shuichi also plans to go to Tokyo.
The [Rose] group sent a secret email informing us that in order to ensure the success rate of cooperation, a small-scale meeting will be held in Tokyo in the future.
Private meetings require extreme caution. Without sufficient trust and security, it is difficult for people from different organizations to truly come together.
What's more, everyone has different jobs and may not have overlapping meeting times.
Therefore, such meetings will be notified in advance, and there will be countless attempts and tests before the actual meeting.
Shuichi Akai knew that there was still a long time before the actual meeting. However, it was necessary to go back to Tokyo to investigate and contact the people at the FBI headquarters.
As for the watermelon affairs in Nagano Prefecture, there is no need to worry because Akemi Miyano is still here.
Miyano Akemi is actually a very smart woman, but the organization has restricted her career development in many ways.
After being assigned to the watermelon shop in Nagano Prefecture, Akemi Miyano took charge of the business and handled most of the matters - she was the real owner of the shop.
Shuichi Akai was just using the name of the melon shop owner to go around and gather intelligence.
Now the Nagano watermelon shop is becoming more and more popular and has become a well-known local store.
The organization does not care about the profits of these businesses that allow members to impersonate their identities, and does not collect fees or investigate, so all the money becomes personal property.
——Miyano Akemi's income and savings are enough to make her a wealthy woman. Last time, she even transferred a large sum of money to Akai Shuichi to help him secretly investigate the subversive organization.
My thoughts returned to the present moment. Akai Shuichi asked, "Do you want to buy a Shinkansen ticket back to Tokyo the next day?"
The last bus in the evening has already left. If you want to take the bus, you need to wait until the next morning.
"No." Chao Ri Xi Qiu shook his head. "We'll leave tonight - there's another ship."
Chaori Xiqiu knows that time will change. Who knows what you will see in the next night? An invincible flying cockroach will be enough! No more red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple magic.
He bought the boat ticket with great efficiency and boarded the night boat back to Tokyo with Shuichi Akai and Aoi Kitamura.
Compared with the previous luxury cruise ships, this time the ship was not much smaller, but there were fewer people.
This is a ship that can carry both people and cargo. Its main function is to transport cargo, and only some of the seats are open for passengers.
Because they had to travel overnight, it was already after ten o'clock when Chao Ri Xi Qiu and the others boarded the ship, so they naturally went back to their room to rest.
The signal at sea was average, and there was no other entertainment. Moreover, my mood had been like a roller coaster during the day, and I was already sleepy.
So after a quick wash, he wrapped himself in the quilt and turned himself into a large caterpillar, then lay flat on the bed like a hot dog.
The ship was swaying on the sea, and it seemed to be raining outside the window. In the sound of the rain, the consciousness of the rising sun and setting autumn gradually drifted away and slipped into dreams.
-
The fox-eyed young man sat in a small windowless room, surrounded by grey, undecorated walls, and in front of him was a prison door formed by crossed iron bars.
He closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall. In the darkness, he seemed to be able to faintly hear the sound of rain coming from far away outside.
It should be raining outside. The fox-eyed young man thought slowly. Are the things I planted all right?
In fact, he didn't know how to farm at all. It was just that when he was on a mission organized by the organization, an enthusiastic lady stuffed a handful of seeds into his hand while he was in disguise. He planted the seeds in the small courtyard assigned to him in the organization's base with the idea of giving it a try.
The best crop is probably watermelon. He picked a bunch of watermelon seedlings and planted them in the yard. Now they are growing well and have already covered the whole yard... I don't know if it's because he usually waters them with the river next to the organization, which has caused them to change a little.
The experimental wastewater of organizations is basically discharged into that river, so the river may indeed contain a variety of substances that cause plant mutations.
The young man with fox eyes recalled the past with wild thoughts in his mind.
After [Nightingale] was caught and exposed, he never watered the plants in the yard again - now it's finally raining. Maybe they can still survive.
In the cold and dark cell, the fox-eyed young man was thinking about the tender buds in spring, the green leaves in summer, the fruits in autumn and the dormant roots in winter.
"--Good evening."
A voice came from the door, interrupting the fox-eyed young man's memory and fantasy. He opened his eyes and saw a tall figure with short black hair and light green eyes standing at the door.
Now, that person no longer looks as thin and skinny as he did back then.
The King of Clubs, a leopard in the dark shadows, killed all competitors and became the only winner.
Now, he has plucked off the plum blossom prefix and become the official "king" of the organization.
As long as the real boss behind the scenes, Karasuma Renya, is still sleeping in the nutrient warehouse, he is the current top leader of the organization.
The air was cold and damp. The two people's eyes met across the iron fence.
"Knight." The King of Clubs - or should I call him Mr. K, raised his voice slightly and said, "Former Knight?" He added another word before the title, which sounded a little sarcastic.
"..."The young man with fox eyes still maintained the same posture, with half of his body leaning against the wall.
"Is there anything you want to say?" Mr. K took a step forward. His left foot was lame, which made it difficult for him to walk, but he concealed it well. "Since we were once partners, I can give you a chance to admit your mistakes."
The fox-eyed young man raised his eyes. His voice sounded sincere: "What is right and what is wrong?"
Mr. K said slowly, "Loyalty is right, betrayal is wrong. Don't you understand the rules of chivalry?"
"Protect justice and defend peace. Isn't this also the law of knights?"
"Oh, oh, I see." Mr. K was stunned at first, then he couldn't help laughing. He said in a low voice, "You've read too many books, haven't you? The fascinating things outside make you lose track of the way you should go."
No. It is because I have read so many books that I know which path is right—truth is eternal and unchanging.
The fox-eyed young man blinked, and had an answer in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. He knew it was meaningless whether he said it or not.
Because they are not communicating, but one party wants to impose his or her own ideas on others. If both parties are stubborn enough, then no one can change the other.
The air was quiet for a moment, and the young man with eyes like a leopard spoke first.
"...Knight." Mr. K sighed and said softly, "We shouldn't have come to this, right? I have already won."
The King of Clubs won and is now the "king" of the organization. Why did he choose to betray after winning the championship? The Knights should have enjoyed equal honor.
"I haven't won yet." The young man with fox eyes answered simply.
He chose the path of a knight from the beginning in order to get in touch with the core of the organization earlier and faster.
His path to victory does not lie in choosing a king to ascend the throne, but in overthrowing this old tower one day and revealing the bones beneath the organization's tower.
"..." Mr. K narrowed his light green eyes. He stared at the familiar face in the cell, seeming to be considering the response from the fox-eyed young man.
After a few seconds, he spoke again slowly: "I believe that everything can still be turned around. As long as you cooperate."
"If you tell me everything you know," Mr. K said, lowering his raven-feathered eyelashes, "I can convince [the judges] to let you come back to me."
"Come back." Mr. K - his demeanor at this time was perhaps more like that of the plum blossom K. His expression was still that of a proud leopard, but his eyebrows were slightly lowered. He raised his eyes and looked back with the same gaze as before, "I only have, and will only have, you as my knight."
"..." The young man with fox eyes looked normal. He tilted his head slightly, raised his eyebrows, and then chuckled, "I'm sorry, but this is not the kingdom I defend."
Separated by a layer of iron fence, whoever looks at each other feels like they are in a cage.
"..." Mr. K clenched the iron fence tightly, squeaking. He raised his head slightly, stared at the fox-eyed young man for a few seconds, and smiled again, "You want to die. I can see it."
The young man with fox eyes said nothing.
"But unfortunately, I won't let everything end so easily." He stood outside the cell, took a small step back, and leaned his center of gravity on his intact right foot.
Mr. K looked at me with a scrutinizing look, and the corners of his lips raised in a strange, gradually rising arc: "You fooled me - so I want to play a game with you. You have no right to refuse."
"Repeat your useless performance and make me laugh again."
In the silent environment, the only sound is the heartbeat, like the sound of a drum, "boom, boom, boom".
-
“Boom, boom, boom—”
The sound became clearer and louder. Chao Ri Xi Qiu suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his drifting dream.
The scene just now was still imprinted in front of his eyes. Chao Ri Xi Qiu covered his head with one hand, relaxed for a moment, and finally came out of that emotion.
In the process of being half asleep and half awake, gradually waking up, the faint sound of "dong, dong, dong" continued to echo in my ears.
Chao Ri Xi Qiu raised his face and looked around in a daze. After a while, he finally found the source.
——The sound seemed to come from next door, vague and not so obvious, but clear enough to hear in the quiet night.
Chao Ri Xi Qiu was a little dazed. His room was located at the side, next to a storage room, but no one lived there.
...So what's that noise?
It must have been a rat, or something that had fallen and hit the wall as the ship swayed.
Chao Ri Xi Qiu lay on the bed for a while, finally got up, put on his coat, and planned to go over to take a look - because the noise was too torturous and he couldn't sleep well!
It was already late at night. I opened the door and the cool night breeze blew in.
Chao Ri Xi Qiu tucked his coat tightly, stood in front of the storage room door, and listened carefully - the sound came from inside.
This storage room is full of large boxes that cannot be moved by others, and there are also some sanitary utensils that can be used at any time, so the door is usually not locked. He raised his hand, placed it on the door, and turned the door handle.
With a slight creak, the door of the storage room opened.
Chao Ri Xi Qiu took two steps forward and followed the moonlight to see the structure of the house. There were several large wooden boxes piled on the floor next to his room, and he didn't know what was inside them.
After opening the door, I could hear a faint "dong, dong" sound, and there seemed to be an even subtler rustling sound coming from the box.
...Come to think of it, this seems like the opening of some horror movie!!!
Chao Ri Xi Qiu couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and for a moment, he wanted to turn around and leave. But his desire for high-quality sleep made him stay where he was.
Calm down, there are no ghosts in the world, but if you don’t sleep well, you may become a male ghost.
Asahi Xiqiu's mind was in turmoil. After hesitating for a while, he finally took two steps forward carefully, then another step, and slowly moved to the box.
The box closest to the wall made a strange sound and seemed to be shaking. Asahi Yuqiu went over and saw a label on the top that said "Open and eat".
Hmm... this looks like a can. Could there really be a rat in it?
The canned food they eat at night can’t be the same meal as the mice!
Chao Ri Xi Qiu's expression froze, and he immediately reached out to the wooden box - the locks on the outside of this kind of box were all latch-type, and could be opened with just a pull.
He held the box with one hand and pulled out the bolt with the other, then he opened the lid with both hands in one go!
——The moonlight from outside the door slanted in and illuminated the box. There was no can or mouse inside, only a little boy with brown hair curled up and lying on his side.
The moment the box was opened, the boy was dazzled by the moonlight and his brown eyes narrowed slightly, but he still raised his hand with difficulty and glanced at the pocket watch in his hand.
"…2:34:09. Well, it's a little late, but we're saved."
Chaori Xiqiu: “?”
Asahi Xiqiu blinked, looked at the boy, then looked at the label on the box, and then retreated tactically.
Just open the lid and eat... What is this? Just open the lid and eat? ? Why is there a child in here!!!
