Chapter 899 Don't Give Up the Truth You Want Because of Us
Kawakita Machi has awakened.
However, his condition was extremely poor.
The gene recombination disruptor that was developed has been used on him, but the effect is almost negligible.
Perhaps it was because the destructive agent was not fully developed, or perhaps it was because Death injected him with other drugs during the month he was taken away.
He was already very thin and haggard when he was rescued by 311 and Liu Qingyao, and now the pain and torment caused by the gene recombination agent make him feel like he is living a life worse than death.
When Ran Mouri, Conan, and Ai Haibara arrived in the afternoon, Machi was vomiting thick blood.
Qianzhu was taking care of him, and before she could wipe the blood from his mouth, he spat out another mouthful.
His face turned pale, like a blank sheet of paper, and his eyes were somewhat lifeless. Kuno Naya said that due to the gene recombination agent, Makoto was now somewhat blind and deaf, and even had some difficulty speaking.
Ran Mouri was heartbroken by this.
Chuan Shengzhenzhi coughed heavily a few times, blinked his empty, gray eyes, and opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Qianzhu gently patted his head to comfort him.
Recently, because they often left early and returned late, Ran and Conan were aroused by Kogoro Mouri's suspicion, so they couldn't stay too long and went back after only an hour or two.
Fortunately, Asa still comes over frequently recently.
For the past few days, Kawasaki Machi has been unable to do anything, speak anything, or hear anything, spending his time in complete darkness and silence.
Thirteen days later, his condition improved and his health returned to normal.
It must be the gene recombination disruptor that's working.
They thought.
Chuan Shengzhen stretched and obediently sat next to Qianzhu on the bed, listening to him read storybooks to him.
When the weather is nice, he would play football and have fun with Conan and the others on the lawn downstairs.
The doctor examined him and the data showed that his physical functions were perfectly normal and he could be discharged directly.
However, they were unsure if there were any potential risks, so they were not in a hurry to discharge Machi Kawasaki from the hospital.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhenzhi was very well-behaved, didn't make a fuss, and obediently followed their arrangements and decisions.
However, to keep Kawasaki Machi from getting too bored, Conan would occasionally bring Ayumi and the other two along to keep him company.
Of course, I didn't tell them the truth at all.
Almost everyone thought that Xiao Zhenzhi's situation was getting better.
However, less than a week after he recovered, he suddenly collapsed while playing with Ayumi and the others.
After the examination, it was discovered that his physical data was actually declining!
"How could this be?" Ran Mouri and the others exclaimed in disbelief.
"Wasn't it getting better before? Why did it suddenly drop again?"
Everyone was so anxious they were almost running around in circles, but they knew nothing about this area of research. Otherwise, they would have taken matters into their own hands and done everything they could to save Kawasaki Machi.
They hope this decline is only temporary.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Tonight, Conan and Asa both stayed behind to watch over Little Machi.
Ai Haibara also stayed there.
He remained unconscious throughout the night until, at night, a muffled groan, tinged with pain, suddenly escaped Xiao Zhenzhi's lips.
Conan immediately got up from the other bed and went to check on him.
Makoto curled up in agony, his eyes tightly closed and his teeth clenched, his body covered in cold sweat, and his heart rate soaring to 140!
The hair that had been trimmed grew longer again, and the pink color faded until it turned silver-white.
"True knowledge!" Asa cried out in alarm.
Just as Conan was about to call for help, the door was pushed open first.
Kuno Naya walked to the bedside, looked down at Machi, who was lying on her side, holding herself tightly.
He dug his fingernails into his skin as if to draw some of the pain out of him.
The excruciating pain he was enduring was no less than having his heart ripped out, yet he still didn't let out a single scream; the only muffled groan he heard was the one Conan and the others had just heard.
Kita Ayane also appeared here. This time he was not in a wheelchair, nor did he need Percy's help. He accurately avoided all obstacles and came to the bedside, then reached out and gently lifted a strand of Makoto's hair.
He paused for a moment, then slowly spoke under everyone's gaze: "The destructive agent had no effect, and the gene recombination also failed."
Their hearts were pounding.
"Will he... really die?"
Ai Haibara asked in a trembling voice.
"Failed gene recombination means that the composition of his body, including but not limited to genes, has also been destroyed. How long do you think he can survive like this?"
Kita Ayane answered calmly and without any change in tone.
Clearly, whether or not he could save the person was not within his consideration.
Everyone fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Conan suddenly turned to look at Kita Ayane, "I haven't used the blank card that the teacher gave me yet. Can I use it to save him?"
Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara suddenly turned to look at him.
Kuno Naya turned her head to look at her and shook her head slightly. "If it were before, perhaps it would have been possible, but now it's probably not."
"Why?" Conan asked nervously.
Kuno Naya opened her mouth, then sighed and replied, "Because the Godfather has disappeared."
"godfather?"
"Hmm." Kuno Naya nodded, her slightly sorrowful gaze falling on Kawasato Machi.
Conan and Ai Haibara didn't quite understand; their only thought at the moment was to save Machi Kawamoto.
"And... what about the gentleman?"
Conan suddenly asked a question.
“Sir? Sir would never get involved in such a thing.” Kuno Naya shook her head again.
Kita Aya loosened the strands of hair between her fingers, lowering her head as if 'watching' Makoto, or perhaps it was just a simple gesture. "Sir, you only watch the play, not become a pawn in it."
Conan fell silent, head bowed, hands clenched into fists at his sides, feeling utterly defeated.
When exactly did it start?
He can save countless people, but he can't save the people around him.
They could only watch helplessly.
Akiyama Reiichi, Bechfenger, Kawasaki Maru, and now, even Machi will face the same fate!
Conan felt a heavy weight in his chest; the names of the dead weighed on him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Suddenly, his hand was grasped.
Conan paused for a moment, then looked up at Machi, who had woken up at some point and was being held in Asa's arms.
The pain he was enduring hadn't lessened much; his trembling body resembled a branch in the rain, yet he still smiled cheerfully at him.
Conan heard his suppressed breathing, heard his voice.
He said, "Conan, you don't need to blame yourself so much. Being a true savior is tiring. Allow yourself to make some mistakes."
He coughed heavily, swallowing back the surging crimson taste, but a trace of bright red blood still trickled down the corner of his mouth.
"Life and death separations... are very normal."
Machi smiled, but tears welled up in his eyes. He took off the necklace from his neck and handed it to Conan.
"This is actually a protective amulet necklace. I know that you and Maru are investigating dangerous things, and these are definitely things that you want to pursue the truth about, so... you can definitely succeed."
"Don't give up the truth you want because of us."
As Zhenzhi's voice grew weaker, his head drooped limply, resting lightly on Asa's body.
"Whether as a child or an adult, I'm very happy to have met you all..."
The rain wasn't heavy, but the already brittle branches were still broken off by the rain and fell into the mud.
