Chapter 926 [Viewing Style] No wonder you like teddy bears so much!
Helia didn't know that the little bear he had just received was also destined to be discarded, but he liked the little bear very much. After washing and drying it, he often carried it with him and slept with it.
His fifth birthday is coming soon.
However, Helya had no expectations for this.
"Heria, have you learned to use magic?"
Five years later, the woman, whose appearance hadn't changed much, walked onto the lawn and softly asked the little boy sitting there practicing magic.
Heria instinctively tightened her grip on the bear's hand and timidly replied, "I'm sorry, Mother, I... I haven't learned yet..."
With a helpless smile on her face, but her eyes full of disappointment, she sighed softly, "Fine, go have fun."
She turned and left.
Watching her retreating figure, Helya inexplicably felt a little scared and hugged the teddy bear tighter.
It's late at night.
The environment was dimly lit; only the living room of the Western-style retro mansion was lit.
The bedroom was dimly lit by a small nightlight, and you could barely make out a tiny figure lying on the bed.
He groggily threw off the covers and got up, still holding the little bear in his arms.
Heria left the bedroom and headed towards the bathroom. As she passed the living room, she saw a half-open door, the light shining through it slightly glaring in the darkness, and she could hear voices coming from inside.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, he curiously moved closer.
"Are you sure you want to hand him over to us?"
Through the crack in the door, Heria saw that the person who spoke was a red-haired man, and there were several other red-haired people with similar clothing beside him.
“That’s right. Our family can’t keep a child who can’t use magic. Besides, his eye color is really ominous. It’s also good for us to hand him over to you.” Heria’s father said with a smile, without a trace of reluctance or self-blame.
“If there is any progress, we hope you can let us know in real time. Of course, if he doesn’t have any effect on your experiment, there’s no need to tell us,” Heria’s mother, Sevisi, added.
Her smile was so gentle, yet her words were so ruthless.
Heria's eyes widened, a look of panic flashing across her face. She hugged the teddy bear tightly in her arms, took a few steps back, and hurriedly ran back to her room. She closed the door and leaned weakly against it.
He squatted down, his face buried in the bear's head.
"So, you were abandoned by your parents, Bei-chan." Bertrand rested his chin on his hand and cast a sympathetic glance at Bei-Hefinger. "Like me, I don't have parents."
Behrfinger: "..."
He covered his face and sobbed sadly.
The girl in the back row, Morataya, reached out and patted his head. "Alright, alright, we're all in the same boat. There's no need to cry."
Behrfinger paused, removing his hand from his face, and said, "Oh."
"...Behrfinger, you've never told us any of this." Matsuda Jinpei turned to look at the blue-haired guy with a resentful expression. "Don't you consider us your friends?"
Behrfinger blinked, then retorted confidently, "Of course I consider you friends, I just forgot to tell you."
"..."
Matsuda Jinpei twitched the corner of his mouth, clearly not believing what he was saying.
"How could that guy possibly say that..." Amuro Tooru was also exasperated with him.
From the time I met him until now, we've been together the longest, and I know him the best.
Amuro Tooru withdrew his gaze from Bechfinger.
"No, what's wrong with them! What's wrong with their purple eyes! Huh!? How can this be so infuriating!" Sonoko Suzuki stood up angrily, pointed at the big screen, and started cursing.
Kyogoku Makoto helplessly advised her to calm down.
Kazuha Toyama stood up, hands on her hips, and agreed, "That's right! Can they really be parents? How could they treat Behrfinger like that! It's unforgivable!"
Heiji Hattori tried to pull her back to sit properly.
"Yeah, that's really going too far." Ran Mouri frowned as well.
Conan Edogawa spoke up to comfort her.
Ayumi and the other two also angrily criticized their parents.
Qianzhu handed a cup of warm milk to Behringer and smiled at him.
Behrfinger blushed, said thank you softly, and took a sip of milk.
Bertrand, standing to the side, crossed his arms and stared at them with crescent-shaped eyes, his right cheek puffed out in dissatisfaction.
"Oh, Xiao'er's jealous? How cute." Morataya reached out from behind and touched his puffed-up cheek with a mischievous grin.
Bertrand slapped her hand away.
...
Heria remained confused for a long time before finally taking action.
He didn't have time to do anything else; he simply grabbed the teddy bear, climbed out of the window, and ran towards the mansion gate.
Not long after he ran out of the room, his mother returned with the group of red-haired people. Upon discovering he was missing, they immediately used magic to search for him.
"They went towards the door."
Sevich raised her hand, closed her eyes, and silently recited a few words. Instantly, a magic circle appeared beneath their feet, a beam of light flashed, and they disappeared from their original spot, reappearing at the mansion's main gate.
Looking at the child who had just run a few meters away, Sevisi lowered her eyes slightly, "Heria, come back."
Heria glanced back at them, but did not stop walking.
With a wave of her hand, an invisible thread pulled him back.
"Heria, where are you going so late? Be a good girl and leave with these uncles."
Tears welled up in Heria's eyes. He gritted his teeth slightly and answered in a trembling voice, "I don't want to!"
Sevii paused for a moment.
In that instant, Heria suddenly broke free from her magic and turned to run again, but was easily caught by the red-haired men.
Sevier clicked her tongue, glanced at Heria, and turned to the red-haired men, saying, "Alright, you can take him away."
She shook her hand dismissively, as if she had discarded something unimportant.
After leading Heria out of the area through the magic circle, they found themselves in the forest.
Heria, who was being held in someone's hand, glanced at the dark forest around him and flinched in fear. But he kicked at the person holding him and used the momentum to fall to the ground and run away.
"Grab him! Don't let him get away!"
Although it's very small, Heria is quite good at running.
"Although the minister said to try not to hurt him, due to special circumstances, we must use any means necessary to bring him back!"
"clear!"
They took out their pistols and aimed them at the small figure in front of them.
Heria was so focused on running forward that he didn't pay attention to what was behind him. He suddenly tripped and fell, narrowly avoiding the tranquilizer darts fired from behind.
"it hurts……"
The fall scraped his knees, elbows, and palms, drawing drops of blood, and tears welled up in his eyes, streaming down his cheeks.
This immediately made him lose the will to continue running.
The red-haired men caught up with them.
Heria took a step back in fear, her eyes filled with tears of terror.
"No...don't come any closer..."
The man reached out his hand to him.
Heria closed his eyes in fear, his body trembling uncontrollably, but he wasn't caught; instead, his arms suddenly felt empty.
He cautiously opened his eyes and found that the little bear plush toy had stood up and was blocking his way.
Heria's eyes widened slightly in surprise.
"He...said, don't...come over, you...don't...touch...him."
The teddy bear slowly raised its head, enunciating each word clearly. Its black eyes turned scarlet, and its mouth, represented by only a single line, slowly opened, revealing sharp fangs inside!
The doll then transformed into a living bear, baring its teeth at the men and warning them not to come any closer.
As soon as they made a move, the bear pounced and bit their arms.
But these men weren't incapable of dealing with a teddy bear that had turned into a doll, especially since they were armed.
With a soft splatter, the bear was instantly severed at the waist, but no blood splattered out. In the instant it was torn apart, it turned back into a toy.
Heria hugged the fluffy bear head that had fallen beside her, tears streaming down her face.
But the voice still came from the plush bear, "Thank... thank you for not... abandoning... me..."
Helia let out a low sob.
Silence fell over the screening room.
A moment later, Bertrand put his arm around Behringer's shoulder. "Oh, poor Behringer."
"No wonder you like teddy bears so much." Kawasaki Machi peeked out, and then a teddy bear toy appeared on his table. "Here, have a teddy bear."
Morataya chuckled and conjured a small bear, which she then gave to Behfinger.
Then... others started to follow suit, and Behringer suddenly found himself surrounded by all sorts of teddy bears.
Behrfinger blushed, "Ah, this..."
"Okay, okay, let's continue."
[Please draw a card.]
Vermouth didn't even look at it before clicking on it casually.
The card, when flipped over, features a light gray crescent moon entwined with blue vines, surrounded by about ten stars.
Since no one could guess who it was just by looking at the picture, everyone turned their attention to the big screen.
The screen was covered in blood.
The room was lit up, but there was only a man lying on the ground, in a pool of blood.
Several red-haired men and women stood by the bed, while on the bed... a woman was imprisoned, her face covered in tears, her eyes wide open, no longer breathing, and her abdomen had been cut open.
Just then, the baby started crying.
The baby, covered in amniotic fluid and blood, was held in the arms of the red-haired woman.
The red-haired man spoke into the communication headset: "Minister, the baby has been retrieved and appears to be in excellent health."
The other side had apparently given the order to take the baby back. After the man replied that he had received the order, he made a gesture to everyone, then ignored the two corpses in the room and took the baby back to their base.
After being cleaned, the baby was placed in an incubator.
"Minister," the woman holding the baby, Merilla, said respectfully to the man who approached.
And that man was Gaius.
The moment Conan Edogawa saw his face, his pupils contracted slightly. "Gaius..."
Subaru Okiya, who had been silent all along, pushed up his glasses, his gaze fixed on Gaius's face on the screen, as if talking to himself: "He... doesn't look like the real Boss of Death..."
Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru and his group, along with Megure Juzo and the others, immediately turned to look at him.
“Mr. Okiya, so you knew about this organization?” Sato Miwako asked.
"No, actually I don't know, I've just heard about it before." Subaru Okiya adjusted his glasses and denied it.
Amuro Tooru looked at him, his gaze slightly narrowed, but he quickly looked away.
People in the white area either ate potato chips or drank tea while watching them discuss.
Bertrand raised an eyebrow and turned to Gin with a puzzled look. "Hey, Gin, didn't you say you'd forget what happened here after leaving the screening room? Why are they discussing it so enthusiastically?"
Gin gave a soft hum.
Seeker leaned over and answered, "Because they're police officers."
Bertrand shrugged, unconvinced.
Gaius looked down at the baby lying in the small box, a smile playing on his lips. “Very good. This is the experimental subject that the Boss has been cultivating from the very beginning. You must treat him well and not make the slightest mistake. From today onwards, Merilla will be in charge of taking care of him.”
"Yes." Merila bowed slightly to indicate that she understood.
As time went by, the baby gradually grew up.
He was given a number when he was 1 year old—number 1000.
From that time on, he was frequently having his blood drawn, but unlike other children, he was not immediately subjected to experiments. Instead, he was replaced only after the death of the symbiotic test subject, Number 0.
She underwent a year of experimentation with No. 0, and later became a symbiotic experimental subject with No. 311.
He got along well with both of them.
Merilla took care of him for several years, teaching him various things as instructed, and bringing back things he wanted from outside the base.
