Chapter 101 Rabbit Hole - To be continued No God Pl…
I have a fever.
Lin Xi frowned.
She tried hard to search through her memories spanning half a year, thinking about what Haibara Ai did on the day she entered the copy.
Um, watched the fireworks show with her?
Oh no, the wind on the rooftop must be too strong and the child must have caught a cold!
No God Please No.
Don't do this kind of thing...
She looked at Haibara Ai's furrowed brows and sickly flushed face, and couldn't help but reach out to smooth out the sad expression on that little face.
Unexpectedly, the child seemed to feel the cool temperature of her palm, moved his head, and rubbed his face against her hand.
Lin Xi sighed, tucked her quilt in, turned around and went to the kitchen to get an ice pack to cool down her burning head.
As a result, Haibara Ai seemed to sense her intention to leave, groaned uncomfortably, grabbed her hand with her little hand, and continued to hold her hand against her cheek.
“Don’t go…”
Lin Xi sighed again.
Is this the same nightmare she had?
Damn it, if only her system could be like the systems in other novels, with a dream entry function, then she could go directly into Ai’s dream and beat up all those bad guys who bullied her!
What a useless system.
system:?
Should it have that kind of outrageous functionality?
"I'm not leaving, Xiao Ai, I'm always here."
Although she knew that people trapped in nightmares probably couldn't hear what people outside were saying, she still spoke seriously.
"I'll always be with you, don't worry, Ai... I'm just going to get some ice packs to cool you down. I'll be back soon, okay? It'll be quick."
Haibara Ai still held her hand tightly.
And her comfort seemed to have the opposite effect - Haibara Ai's other hand also stretched out from under the quilt and held Lin Xi tightly.
Lin Xi was a little amused and helpless.
But she still firmly stuffed Huiyuan Ai's hands into the quilt, got up and went to the kitchen to get ice packs and warm water -
When it gets a little brighter, I have to wake Xiao Ai up and ask her to take the fever-reducing medicine.
If the temperature is not lowered in time, it would be terrible if the child gets feverish and becomes stupid.
That’s the genius brain of a 17-year-old doctor!
She left in a hurry, so she didn't hear the muttering of Haibara Ai after she left.
“Don’t go…”
“…Punch.”
.
Haibara Ai felt herself falling.
The experience of falling was not pleasant and she did not like it.
She saw many images. They were memories from her time in the organization, all of them related to the red-haired girl.
That was a...very beautiful memory...
Although it was only a short six months, it was indeed her best memory in the organization.
The new home Punch brought her to, the food Punch made, the dagger Punch gave her, the fairy tale Punch told her...
Why did she forget all that?
It was as if the memories had been thrown on the ground, covered in dust and dirt, and were only picked up by her now and polished again.
Ai Haibara actually knew that she was dreaming.
Why else would she have paused when she grasped the red-haired girl's hand, for she stayed, and gently told her that she would not leave?
Obviously, at that time... he left without looking back...
Haibara Ai felt like she was crying.
My body felt both cold and hot, sometimes like being roasted on a fire, and sometimes like being in the middle of winter, freezing to death.
In a trance, she felt a cool towel on her forehead, which made her feel much more comfortable. There was also a voice calling her softly:
"Ai-chan. Ai-chan."
Ah, it’s Sister Lin…
Haibara Ai tried hard to open her eyes.
Honey-colored eyes looked at her gently: "Xiao Ai, you have a fever. Can you get up a little and take your medicine?"
Haibara Ai suddenly felt very wronged.
Sick people are prone to emotional fluctuations, and Lin Xi's gentle voice gave her a ton of security, making her unable to help but relax -
Then the emotions brought by the complicated scenes in the dream surged up again and drowned her completely.
"Sister Lin..." she said in a crying voice.
"Hey, I'm here."
"I, I..." She cried breathlessly, "I forgot a lot of things, I don't know what happened... I don't want to forget..."
Even if those memories ended with that person's departing figure, she... she didn't want to forget at all...
Lin Xi put down the cup of water and hugged her.
"It's okay, Xiaoai, it's okay." Lin Xi didn't know how to comfort her and could only pat her back awkwardly.
"Memories just get lost. They always come back home."
When Lin Xi heard the word "forget", he knew that the root cause of Xiao Ai's fever was not the wind that blew last night.
But because of her.
To be precise, it was because of her identity as Punch——
Presumably, after she came back, the system distributed her memories of Punch to the people around her.
Ai spent the longest time with Punch, so she was the most impacted by these memories.
She patted the girl on the back, letting her vent her emotions.
Then, when she was out of breath, he handed the cup of water to her lips and coaxed her to take the medicine.
When she was tired of crying and began to feel sleepy again, Lin Xi touched her head, gently rested her head on the pillow, and tucked in the quilt.
It seems I have to find an opportunity to visit Ai in my identity as Punch.
Look how sad the child is.
Well, it’s best to avoid Xiao Ke and a certain Japanese public security officer, so that they don’t have any misunderstandings about Xiao Ai and myself.
Lin Xi is Lin Xi, and Punch is Punch, which will make it easier to go through the plot later.
If I have the chance, I'd also like to visit Noah, Hiroki, and Jun'e...
And...Zhufu Jingguang.
The contract she had with the CIA was for five years, and it expired this year.
I wonder how he is doing now? After shedding all his identities, what kind of life path will he take in a foreign country?
It makes people look forward to it...
…
night.
"Welcome~" Lin Xi opened the door.
She was wearing casual home clothes, her hair was tied loosely behind her head, her eyebrows were curved, and she smiled at Conan.
Conan: ...
Sister Lin's smile was so happy that it made me feel a little uneasy...
I always feel like she's going to do something again.
"Hello, Sister Lin~"
The three little ones beside him shouted in unison.
Next is their respective chirps:
Mitsuhiko: "Sister Lin, is Huiyuan sick?"
Ayumi: "Sister Lin, how is Huiyuan now——"
Yuanta: "We are here to see her! If you feel uncomfortable, why not have a delicious eel meal?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "She caught a cold and had a fever. But she recovered quickly and is almost fully recovered now~"
Then he turned to Conan.
Conan subconsciously took a step back.
In the end, he still couldn't dodge and was picked up by Lin Xi and held high:
"Hey, Xiao Ke, long time no see~ Did you miss me?"
Conan:?
Sister, we just met yesterday, and it’s been less than twenty-four hours since we last met.
But, forget it... Conan thought helplessly, Sister Lin looked really excited, her focus must be on the last sentence.
"I want to..." He responded in a long voice, and happened to meet Haibara Ai who came out from the inner room after hearing the noise.
Haibara Ai gave him a look of contempt.
You are an adult but still act like a child.
Conan: ...
He was a little worried when he heard Teacher Kobayashi say that Ai was sick and wouldn't come today, but now he sees that this guy looks very energetic!
Yoshida Ayumi next to him whispered: "Conan is so lucky, I also want to be hugged by Sister Lin."
Conan: ...
Do you want this blessing? Oh, if you do, then it's all right.
Lin Xi heard it, smiled, put Conan down, turned around, picked up Bu Mei and started spinning around.
The room was filled with Ayumi Yoshida's giggles, the chatter of other children, and the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen.
As Haibara Ai watched this scene, a faint smile appeared on her face, which she herself was not aware of.
So reassuring, she thought.
Being with Sister Lin, it feels like I’ve returned to the time long ago when I was with Punch. No matter how chaotic the world is, as long as I’m home, I’ll feel safe and happy.
She watched Lin Xi pick up the three children one by one. Of course, Yuantai was still difficult to carry, so Lin Xi just picked him up and put him down, without spinning around like the others - but the children were still very excited, chattering around Lin Xi and volunteering to help Lin Xi in the kitchen.
Of course Lin Xi would not refuse.
Conan was not with the children. He walked over to Huiyuan Ai and asked, "Hey, are you really okay?"
Huiyuan Ai withdrew her gaze from the kitchen and said calmly:
"What can I do? Great Detective, just mind your own business."
"Hey, hey," Conan said with half-moon eyes, "I'm concerned about you!"
"Instead of focusing on me, why not tell me what case you encountered today? Great detective, you are attracted by the case."
"I wasn't drawn to the case. It was the case that called the detective... And you say that as if I encounter cases every day. Honestly, it's not that frequent."
Haibara Ai gave him a look and told him to figure it out for himself.
Some people really have no self-awareness.
She always felt that when she went out with Conan, all kinds of unexpected events would happen every day, including but not limited to robbery, bombing and murder.
Look at how much they have encountered these days?
Conan's momentum gradually weakened under Haibara Ai's gaze, and finally he smiled awkwardly.
Well, he admitted that he had been encountering a lot of cases recently.
"Not today... but I do have a commission," he said, "but it's not from me, it's from Uncle Maori. He received a letter with a puzzle pieced together inside, asking him to go to a small island to investigate."
"I didn't want to go originally, but the client was very generous and transferred all the money, so... you know. Xiaolan and I want to go too, just as a trip."
"Oh." Huiyuan Ai didn't care. "Then I wish you good luck, great detective."
"Hey, if only I could be a little luckier and get the organization's information right in front of me~" Conan stretched lazily, "There are so many people in this world, where can I find any clues about those men in black?"
He dreamed of getting news about that group of people.
Haibara Ai crossed her arms and was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Then he slowly exhaled.
After regaining her memory, her feelings towards the organization became complicated.
On the one hand, she hated and feared that place, feeling it was cold, gloomy, and devoid of humanity. Now that she had escaped, she wanted to stay as far away from the organization as possible, preferably never to have any contact with them again.
But on the other hand, because of Punch, she had a subtle expectation for the emergence of the organization.
If there really is a clue to the organization, then...
Could it be her?
