Chapter 180 Thirty-six Vigilantes

"Can we track Asa down now?"

After Asa finished speaking, the live broadcast screen was interrupted for a moment, and then directly replaced by the screen of the pixel game in the mobile phone, inviting all Tokyo people to watch him control Pixel Wuming to jump up and down on the screen and end his life in various weird ways.

Asa's live broadcast was no longer playing on the big screen at the base, and the picture shifted to another computer next to Rei Furugani.

"No, he's hiding too deep." Furiya Ling also frowned, "The address is only gibberish when it's deciphered. Who is helping him? It can't be that Asa is also a hacker, right?"

"Gibberish?" Wuming, who had been silent for some reason and seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly spoke up. Conan looked up and found that the boy had stood behind Furuya Rei, leaning against the back of a chair and leaning in to take a closer look. "Is this what you mean?"

He stared at the screen closely. Although Conan couldn't see it, Furiya Rei, who was close by, could see it clearly. After seeing the string of garbled code, Akae Nazuki's expression became very strange. She didn't look angry, nor happy. She looked as if she was recalling something.

Furiya Rei didn't urge him. He knew his friend was hiding something from him, but he didn't have any negative emotions because of being kept in the dark... Well, it was really because Akae had done this many times before. He just had to make sure that his friend wouldn't go out and do something stupid again, and that he wouldn't go out and come back with injuries.

Thinking of this, Fūya Ling's eyes flickered for a moment.

He learned from Akae Nazuki about the past that had been erased from this world. Therefore, Furukaya Rei knew what had happened between Asa and Akae Nazuki here.

In the past narrated by the little devil from Wuming's perspective, the seventeen-year-old had been controlled by Karasuma Renya for more than ten years. Compared with the main world, the Akae couple died too early here, causing Karasuma Renya's control to become more severe, providing Wuming with an all-round attack and brainwashing from body to mind.

Without the Akajiang couple who gave him love, and without Sharon who became the moon in his heart, Wuming grew up in pain and hatred, unable to resist any punishment or "reward" from Karasuma Renya.

It was not until a mission when he was seventeen that the seriously injured Wuming was picked up by Chaoyue, who was not called Asa at the time.

From Wuming's perspective, he was initially indifferent to Asazuki, thinking that she was also an actor that Karasuma Renya had deliberately sent in to destroy him.

So don't say 'gentle and taciturn', that was clearly a 'stare full of murderous intent'. If Wuming hadn't been very resistant to killing when not on mission and didn't want to be completely brainwashed into a murderous lunatic, Chaoyue would have been killed by Wuming, who was full of thorns and extremely vigilant.

Fortunately, Rei Furuya didn't know the beautified version that Asa told Conan, otherwise he would have complained about how many layers of filters Asa put on the nameless in the story.

During that time, Wuming didn't want to perform poorly in front of the spy sent by Karasuma Renya (who he thought was Asazuki), which would get him punished again later.

So no matter what Chaoyue asked him to do, he would do it without saying a word and with murderous intent. However, when Chaoyue was having fun, he would try to calm him down by showing his murderous intent to give him a chance to recuperate.

Then Chaoyue stuffed a cookbook into his hand and stared at him with an expectant and suggestive expression all night long.

Wuming, who hadn't cooked since his parents died when he was eight years old, was extremely upset. In order to protect his ears and wounds, he cooked a large table of meals for Chaoyue the next morning.

Of course, they were all greasy meals with lots of fish and meat. None of them were suitable for breakfast, and they all 'happened' to be in line with Chaoyue's food preferences that she had inadvertently revealed when they were together.

Chaoyue looked at Wuming, then at the food, and finally finished the whole table of food with her eyes closed. She held her round belly, took a digestive pill, and forced herself to smile and praise Wuming for his delicious cooking.

The fact that he could force Wuming, who was taciturn and emotionally indifferent at the age of seventeen, into this state was enough to prove how annoying Chaoyue was before. However, Wuming thought about it later and realized that he was annoying only because he thought Chaoyue was the BOSS at the time, so he instinctively resisted her.

"You know I did it on purpose, right?" Wuming looked at the red-haired man rubbing his stomach in pain with a cold face, and finally couldn't help but question, "If it's just to monitor me, is it necessary to go to this extent? You are not a member of the organization at all, so how much benefit did he give you in order to hire you?"

Chaoyue sighed and didn't answer, but just looked at him with a tolerant look that made Wuming feel that he was being unreasonable.

Because Chaoyue knew that Wuming already had the answer in his heart - Chaoyue was indeed not a servant hired by Karasuma Renya to monitor and play with him, and the other party was actually really kind to him from the bottom of her heart and for no reason.

After that day, the way the two interacted changed. Wuming no longer resisted Chaoyue's approach, and acquiesced to the other party's invasion of his "safety line". He gradually let down his guard in front of Chaoyue, showing his truest side that had not appeared in many, many years.

He was trying to open his heart to Chaoyue, trying to get closer to Chaoyue - Wuming had received too little love, and even though Chaoyue's appearance was unexpected and her inexplicable approach was suspicious, Wuming was unable to resist and indulged in it, regarding Chaoyue as his first friend.

It is undeniable that Chaoyue saved Wuming. It was Chaoyue who first told Wuming that he was worthy of love. It was also Chaoyue who first ignited hope in Wuming's heart. It was she who made him want to live for the first time in his life.

It even made him feel thoughts other than hatred and powerlessness.

When Chaoyue reached out her hand to him and wanted to take him away after learning his story, Wuming would be lying if he said he wasn't moved. He really wanted to just take Chaoyue's hand and escape from Karasuma Renya without a care in the world, but he held back.

He knew that if he didn't resolve Karasuma Renya's brainwashing and control over him, he would always be a time bomb, and he couldn't just run away like that, so he didn't hold Asazuki's outstretched hand and left Asazuki's flower shop.

Chaoyue's invitation was the last straw that broke the camel's back. From then on, Wuming really began to want to rebel against Karasuma Renya and completely break away from her control.

Then Wuming failed, then Karasuma Renya discovered Asazuki's existence, and then——

Then, Wuming, under control, watched clearly as he stabbed the knife into Chaoyue's chest while she was defenseless against him.

Chaoyue was killed by himself. Chaoyue, who planted the last bit of hope in his heart, was killed by himself. From then on, no one would be able to watch the moon with him, and there would no longer be a flower shop owner in this world who wanted to see the smiles of all his customers.

What did he do!!!

…

Fūya Rei rubbed his brows.

Akajiang Nayue did not elaborate on the story after that. She only told him that the collapse of losing everything made Wuming completely out of control. He used a special method to burn his own life in order to break free from the constraints of Karasuma Renya. In the end, he turned around and killed Karasuma Renya, and Wuming himself was completely wiped out from this world.

As for the connection between Asa and Asa, Akae Nazuki said that 'those who are resurrected from the end of the cycle of reincarnation will pay a price'. Asagi, who was in a semi-crazy state, saw the devastation of the city today and knew that Karasuma Renya was killed by Mumei ten years ago, so she loved and hated Mumei and became completely crazy - this is not impossible.

In response, Fūya Rei didn't believe a word of this.

How could he not know that someday the little devil would be ambiguous about such a simple matter? Therefore, what Chi Jiang said was definitely not the complete truth.

However, the killing of Karasuma Renya should be true. Furiya Rei is well aware that every Akae Nazuki is extremely passionate about killing Karasuma Renya. If Karasuma Renya died early, there is no doubt that it was Akae Nazuki who did it, because the little devil will not let go of any enemy, nor will he let others kill his enemies first.

No wonder Akae Nayue could take him away from this world at any time, and could also resurrect 'Furiya Rei' here at any time, but she still took him to live leisurely for several months.

Furuya Rei had always felt that something was strange. He didn't believe that his friend would inexplicably transfer his affection to Tokyo here. Their own world was still fighting a rat race (?). Akae Nazuki was not such a indecisive guy. In this person's eyes, their own world must be a thousand times or ten thousand times more important than all other parallel worlds.

After connecting it to that past, Furuya Rei finally understood something.

The seventeen-year-old Akae Nazuki killed Karasuma Renya, which indirectly led to the Fall of Tokyo. The seventeen-year-old Akae Nazuki should indeed bear part of the responsibility in this incident, so it's no wonder that the little devil would stay on his own initiative.

A few seconds passed while he was distracted, and Akae Nayue fluently reported two addresses. Furugaya Rei cooperated tacitly and called up the surveillance of the two locations on the computer. Sure enough, after three or four jumps, two groups of hostages tied together appeared on the screen.

Presumably the surveillance was not destroyed, and Asa left it there on purpose so that they could see the hostages.

Asa did this because he was sure that Wuming could decipher the true meaning of the string of garbled code...Furiya Rei's eyes became sharp.

He doesn't care about the complicated past between Asa and Wuming in this world. The one here now is just his best friend who is playing the role of Wuming. If that madman Asa really wants to do something to Aka, Furuya Rei cannot guarantee that he can resist the urge to beat him up.

After thinking about it, Fūya Rei quickly sent the two addresses to Morobushi Kagemitsu. Even though he knew that the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau would not be able to take action immediately after getting the addresses, he did not hesitate at all.

At least this way we might be able to rescue the hostages faster?

While Furuya Rei was contacting Morobushi Kagemitsu, he heard the young detective behind him calling out to Akae Nazuki who was about to change her uniform.

"Do you need me now?" Conan's expression was very urgent. He really couldn't turn a blind eye to Asa's criminal behavior and wanted to join the investigation. A series of questions came out of his mouth, "Can I graduate? Can I become your partner? Can I investigate this case?"

The young detective saw Wuming's eyes and consciousness passed over the pixel game broadcast on the screen in front of Furuya Rei after hearing this sentence, and then he calmly and solemnly refused as always: "No."

Conan didn't even have time to feel disappointed or angry - after all this, why did Wuming still reject him?

He saw the vigilante move.

The black-haired boy turned around and pressed a small button on the operating table. With a slight click, the wall behind Conan opened, and two display cabinets could be vaguely seen inside in the white mist.

Inside the display cabinet are two sets of handsome uniforms.

In the smaller display case was a set of black military shorts, with a white belt and shirt underneath. The cape looked like a smaller version of the one worn by Wuming, making it not only easy to move around in but also very handsome. Where the glasses should have been was replaced with a small sticker with the letter D on it.

The one in the larger display case is the same red and black color scheme as Wuming's. The difference from the other one is that the cape is black on the outside and red on the inside and hangs softly behind the back at first glance. In fact, just looking at the sharp lines on it is enough to imagine how much it would look like a pair of metal bird wings when it is unfolded.

But this cape is just a simple cape, without a hood on the back. Instead, it has a black deerstalker hat on the head, and the same D stickers as the small set.

Wuming said with a smile behind Conan: "I mean, you can't just go out like this, you have to change your clothes, D."
