Chapter 250: The Immortal Witch Serious People Don’t Keep Diaries
"I know," Lin Xi said, "but, Beibei, that's not the answer I want."
"You knew I would have this symptom—why?"
"What on earth did you do to make me appear on 'Lin Xi'?"
It’s actually not difficult to guess.
It must be admitted that the moral standards of the members of this organization she created are not very high.
During the time she disappeared, these people must have been looking for her like crazy - and then they found "Lin Xi".
They must have done something to "Lin Xi", instead of what Belmode just said: we did not interfere in her life.
Who knows, maybe they even experimented on others? She'd clearly stopped the human experiments, but they'd been revived a few years earlier, with Kiichirō Numabuchi being one of the victims. Lin Xi had only just learned about this, and before she could confront Madeira, her health issues had overwhelmed her, leaving her unable to focus on anything else.
Moreover, as "Lin Xi" became more and more active, she was able to communicate with her occasionally.
When she first appeared, Lin Xi was in the studio.
She was putting the still-dry painting in the corner when a sigh suddenly came from her mind.
She stopped and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
"Lin Xi" did not respond.
The second time it appeared was the next morning.
She asked Ai to change into the new clothes she had just bought for her.
Seeing the neatly dressed Xiao Ai turning around in front of the mirror with a faint expression, Lin Xi, who had fulfilled her wish to play Miracle Nikki, was filled with a happy smile.
"This dress really suits her." The voice of "Lin Xi" suddenly appeared in my mind again.
At that time, her expression may have suddenly become unhappy, and Xiao Ai noticed it. She turned around and asked her doubtfully: "Sister Lin? Doesn't this dress look good?"
"...No, it looks very nice and suits you very well." She touched Ai's head.
After sending Xiao Ai to school, she stopped the car and stared at the rearview mirror: "Who are you?"
This time, "Lin Xi" responded. "I am 'Lin Xi'."
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows.
"What a coincidence. My name is 'Lin Xi' too. How about you change your name? I don't want to call others by my own name."
Lin Xi's voice sounded a little aggrieved: "But that's my original name."
"You're the one who occupied my body, and now you're asking me to change my name? That's too much."
Lin Xi opened the system panel and searched for the settings button on the interface for the Nth time.
Is there a bug in this damn game system that made her inexplicably become an alien occupying someone else's body?
Since she was an outsider, she was perfectly willing to return her body to its original owner if she could go home afterwards.
She felt a strange sense of anger in her heart. This anger seemed to come from the feeling of being wronged and being treated as a perpetrator and unable to refute it, but it seemed to be more than that.
Perhaps it was because she had been trapped in this two-dimensional world for too long that she had almost forgotten what the real world looked like - she was angry at her own powerlessness in the face of oblivion.
But she soon realized that the sudden change of mood might just be an additional symptom of mental illness - two consciousnesses are active in one body at the same time, and even if they are not fighting, the mental state will definitely be very bad.
She exhaled: "I am Lin Xi."
She spoke in Chinese.
"Unlike you, I'm from China." Her expression was slightly annoyed. "I'll find a way to return your body to you. But it might... take another three months. Until then, just stay in my body."
In three months, she should be able to complete the story of "Detective Conan Remake".
The last time she checked on Ai’s progress, she felt that the real antidote for APTX4869 would soon be developed.
By then, Edogawa Conan had successfully transformed back into Kudo Shinichi, and she would cooperate with him in destroying the organization—actually, restructuring it, allowing it to reappear in the public eye as a publicly listed company and continue as a conglomerate. It was already the 21st century; playing with □□ was too low-brow; the times no longer permitted it. If you don't keep up with the times, you'll be left behind. Lin Xi believed that it was time for the organization to have a new look.
Haibara Ai...will also turn back into Miyano Shiho.
Besides her, she will have other people to accompany her, such as Kudo Shinichi and Dr. Agasa. Maybe from the beginning, she should have respected the original plot and put her back with Dr. Agasa - why did she take the risk of bringing others into her life in the first place?
Obviously, he is not from this world.
Realizing that his thoughts were a bit too pessimistic and realizing that this was another result of being influenced, Lin Xi rubbed his eyebrows irritably.
Maybe she should seek professional help.
The third time "Lin Xi" appeared was when Lin Xi discovered that he was sleepwalking.
She walked to the mirror and asked, "Why are you reading my diary?"
In the mirror, her face was pale and dark circles were faintly visible.
She covered them with concealer.
"Lin Xi" replied: "I can only use my body when you are unconscious. You clearly wrote everything using my body, so why don't you let me read it?"
"Because serious people don't write diaries." Lin Xi wanted to laugh, laughing at herself for being able to make jokes when her emotions were about to explode.
"The diary I wrote is for others to see. It's not my true thoughts."
"But I saw what you said to Huibara Ai on it." Lin Xi's voice asked doubtfully, "That's what you really think. Why don't you tell her directly? Are you embarrassed?"
Because after I'm gone from this world, I still hope that someone will remember me, just for such a selfish reason - damn, why do you want to read my diary!
Lin Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Can you respect my privacy? A private diary is like an unopened letter. Do you have a habit of peeping into letters?"
"I want to know what you did with my body," said "Lin Xi." "It seems like you're living a good life, which is really enviable. Although I don't believe you will really return your body to me, I also want to be able to see my friends... and my sister when I'm sober."
"Ai is really cute... I have no experience in being a sister, but since you can do it, I can do it too."
roll……
The irritability rushed to her head, causing her temples to throb with pain.
Lin Xi closed his eyes.
Since then, Lin Xi has never found peace.
The original owner of the body seemed to be deliberately seeking revenge. The more Lin Xi resisted her existence, the more she would appear at inappropriate times, messing up Lin Xi's mood.
"Do you really think a psychiatrist can cure you? You know very well that this isn't a disease. It's just that you don't want to leave my body, and I don't want to either, so you're like this now... They'll just prescribe you medication to force you to calm down, and you and I both know that's useless..."
"I said, I will return my body to you, I just need time..."
…
"Are you hurt? Who pinched you?"
Lin Xi looked at the bruises on her neck in the mirror and said, "A... friend. I exploited his weakness and put pressure on him, which made him angry."
"Haha, you have so many friends. No wonder you didn't resist...you just let yourself get hurt. Have you forgotten that this body doesn't belong to you - who allowed you to get hurt so easily?"
…
"You've started drawing again? You know you're clueless about it—it's my gift."
"I know." Lin Xi poked at the paint on the canvas, "I'm helping you."
"Help me with what?"
"I'll help you get your degree," Lin Xi said. "You'll graduate soon. Even if you want some water, you should at least submit a graduation project."
…
"Beibei." Lin Xi took another sip of peach juice. "Do you know what she's saying now?"
"She asked you, 'Why did you just watch me get hurt? You just stood by and watched me being tortured...'"
Vermouth's eyes turned red.
"Boss." She said softly, her voice trembling. "I'm really sorry... I'm really sorry. I can't tell you the answer you want to know right now. No matter what, please... trust me. I will never hurt you. I know you're confused, and I know it's too much to ask of you in this situation, but, but——"
A hand gently touched Vermouth's head.
Vermouth was stunned.
"I believe you." Lin Xi said, "If you can't say it, then don't say it."
"Some things, I can only rely on myself to find the truth, right? Some plots can only be played out by myself..."
She paused. "No need to feel embarrassed."
It was me who caused you more trouble, Lin Xi thought.
Vermouth was even more sad.
"How do you feel now? Do you have a headache?" She held Lin Xi's hand and asked.
"It's tolerable," Lin Xi said. "Your juice helped a lot."
In fact, she vomited once this morning.
She had eaten breakfast for nothing and had no appetite. Vermouth's soft drink helped her replenish some sugar.
Vermouth opened the drawer.
There was an exquisite box inside. She reached out and opened it, and there were many candies inside.
She picked up a piece and placed it in Lin Xi's palm: "This is the lava chocolate I bought. Some students don't eat breakfast and have low blood sugar. When I give them glucose, I also give them a few chocolates."
"I really like this brand of chocolate...I hope you like it too."
"Thank you." Lin Xi accepted it. "I feel much better now."
"Beibei, there is one more thing. You can hide everything from me, but you have to promise me—" Through Aida Tomoaki's light blue eyes, she looked at Vermouth under disguise: "When I can't control the development of the situation, help me protect Miyano Shiho."
Vermouth opened her mouth.
"Okay," she said, looking down at the beautifully wrapped candies in the box.
She thought, I will help you protect the people you want to protect, and in exchange... you have to live well yourself.
