Chapter 193: Talk about the Day After ③

When Conan Edogawa returned to the base, the first thing he saw was Toru Amuro, who was sleeping beside the operating table for some reason.

His heart skipped a beat and he rushed forward, anxiously calling the other person's name: "Mr. Amuro?!"

The blond, dark-skinned man woke up from his dream, stood up and looked towards Conan Edogawa: "What's wrong?!"

The latter reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought that after Wuming's accident, Amuro Toru would also get into trouble.

But what Conan Edogawa didn't know was that Toru Amuro was actually confused at first: Why was he here?

In Toru Amuro's memory, he should have died... After all, dying while undercover is considered martyrdom, right? I wonder what Hiro and the others would think.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro felt a headache and his mind suddenly became clear.

...Yes, I remember now.

He should have died several years ago, but a few months ago, Chijiang Nayue appeared in his cemetery for unknown reasons and met him who had crawled out of the grave for unknown reasons.

During this time, he had no memory of the previous ten years or so, and only vaguely remembered some common sense of life... At first, he suspected that there was something wrong with Chijiang Nayue and took the opportunity to run away, but was rescued by the boy named Kaidou.

But later he discovered that Wuming and Chijiang Nayue were the same person, and he took the initiative to stay with the child. Even though he had lost his memory, his ability was still enough to help Chijiang Nayue as an assistant.

Moreover, during the months they lived together, they began to truly regard each other as family.

The strange thing is, why did I suddenly remember the memories from the past that I had been unable to remember before?

Amuro Toru was a little confused, and didn't know why he had a dull, ominous feeling in his chest.

Oh, right! Conan——Why did Xiao D come back at this time?

"Little D...where is Wuming? Didn't he come back with you?" Toru Amuro held his chest, enduring the pain and discomfort, and asked Conan.

The black-haired, blue-eyed little boy bit his lip, turned his eyes away and answered the question with difficulty.

"...He, left himself in the fire." Conan's voice sounded a little... or very uncomfortable. He clenched his fists tightly, trying to finish the whole sentence and his guess. "But, I don't think he will die so easily. We didn't find his... body, so it is very likely that he managed to escape in the end!"

Conan didn't ask why Akae Nayue didn't come to find them if he ran away, and Amuro Toru didn't ask either. They tacitly skipped the topic.

Because Toru Amuro also didn't think that Akae Nazuki would die there. Regarding that person's life or death, they would try their best to get a certain result later. But now... at least, it's an unknown life or death, not a confirmed death, right?

He smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Amuro, Wuming should have other spare uniforms." Conan asked suddenly.

This is indeed true. Although the uniforms that Akane Nayue usually wears are actually made by [Shu] diligently, there are still other spare uniforms that have never been activated.

In the words of Akane Nayue, 'How could Batman only have one uniform?'

At first, Toru Amuro didn't react to what Conan asked him, but after taking a quick look at Conan's expression, he understood.

"No……"

Before he could finish his refusal, Conan cast his determined gaze on Toru Amuro's face.

"Wuming and I are the same age." Conan - Kudo Shinichi said firmly, "I am a vigilante, a detective, not a child. This city cannot be without Wuming."

He also knew the true meaning of the vote, but the detective was the one who disagreed the most with the view that 'Tokyo needs Tokyo people to protect themselves, we don't need Wuming anymore'.

Whether it is him or Tokyo, they both need the presence of Mumei and Akae Nazuki the most, right? That person brought the spark of hope to this city, why can't that person see that Tokyo is destined to be better? Why did that person get infected with the virus...?

"I want to be a nameless generation."

Kudo Shinichi said word by word, "Waiting for the antidote... Didn't they say that there is a semi-finished product? I can take that before the night patrol."

He could give up his coveted code name, put on an anonymous uniform, and continue to protect the city under an anonymous name.

Amuro Toru frowned tightly, not agreeing with the detective's idea, but he did not say anything to stop him at this time - after all, the antidote was still a semi-finished product and they didn't have it in their hands yet, and the detective couldn't do what he said for a while.

But when the cabinet where the spare uniforms were stored was slowly opened in front of the two people, everyone was shocked to find that it was empty. There was no trace of uniforms, only a card and a small iron box.

There was a capsule in the iron box and a line of words was written on the card.

【Don't be 'nobody', you are D. 】

…

In fact, no one had time to catch Asa in front of the greenhouse. In the blink of an eye, the red-haired young man disappeared from their sight.

In fact, it is confirmed that after Asa and Conan finished their conversation, Akae Nazuki took back the puppet vest, including the half of his consciousness that had been split off before.

He was leaning on the edge of the rooftop of a high-rise building in Tokyo, holding his forehead with his hand, his face looking a little blue.

The split consciousness was a completely different experience from the time with the Grandies. After all, although the Grandies seem to have different personalities, their essence is the same. But this time, in order to play the role of Asa, Chi Jiang Na Yue immersed herself a little too hard... In layman's terms, she was too immersed in the role.

He didn't feel it when his consciousness was divided into two, but now that his consciousness has merged again, even he, who has experienced many ups and downs, feels dry and nauseous.

"Fortunately, I took this into consideration when writing the plan," he murmured.

Wuming being infected with the so-called Asa virus was actually a little joke that Chijiang Nayue played on herself.

Because of running around in two bodies for a long time, Chi Jiangnanyue considered a problem that would never happen but needed to be prepared for.

If he were to use his original form Wuming to hunt down a criminal, and Asa was laughing wildly while killing people...what if Wuming, who was hunting down the criminal, failed to catch him, and Asa, whose consciousness was connected to him, came out laughing?!

He knew that there would not be such a scenario, but once he thought of it, the subsequent plan came to his mind naturally.

[Come to think of it... Is it okay for us to just leave like this?] [Shu] hesitated and said, [Although I also hate the fact that the consciousness in this world would randomly kidnap Fūya-kun, but Kurenai...]

Life is not easy, the savior sighs.

"Didn't we agree on this at the beginning? I can't be resurrected in this world if I'm just acting... After all, resurrection is just about bringing them from the timeline before they died to the present and restoring them to their full state."

Chijiang Nayue said: "But even if the whole world believes that 'Chijiang Nayue' and 'Wuming' exist, we can't just create a person who has disappeared in all timelines."

[If that's the case, isn't this world doomed to be destroyed?] [Shu] sighed, but that was all he sighed, without any other thoughts, [Well, since it's not Xiaohong, you're slacking off, then it doesn't matter~ If the world consciousness comes knocking on my door later, I'll kick it out!]

The savior who gradually changed his world consciousness into a violent and protective savior quietly turned his eyes away.

"I mean, we can't just make it up..." He shrugged, the smile on his lips looked a bit cunning and self-righteous, "But maybe this world can be aware of itself. I'm leaving anyway, so I have to come back for revenge, right? What's wrong with me taking some energy from it to create a new independent vest!"

Although the 'Akae Nazuki' who was re-created from the torrent of time is probably no longer the original Akae Nazuki who, even though he did not get the courage brought by Asa, resolutely decided to resist and finally died together with Karasuma Renya, but the 'nameless' in the script he made up...

After all, the world needs a Chijiang Nayue, but it doesn't just need the original Chijiang Nayue.

The Savior can guarantee that if he were not so powerful that beating the world consciousness was like playing, these guys would probably try to force him to stay and become the pillar of their world every time.

"Anyway, what happens here from now on is the business of the people in this world. I'm just here to work overtime." Akajinazuki stretched, then happily jumped down from the tall building, letting the strong wind blow on his cheeks. "It's time to get off work. Let's send Zero back first. Amuro Toru in this world can probably be resurrected - we have to take my Zero home with us now~!"

His body burned into sparks in mid-air and finally dissipated completely before falling to the ground.

—

Wuming disappeared for two months.

Tokyo has not been peaceful recently. Some criminals who were originally suppressed by Wuming with fear found that they have not seen Wuming beating people up at night for a long time. Even the little assistant D has not appeared for a long time. Instead, he was replaced by the "new vigilante" who is very close to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Asa, who was once active and caused a lot of fear, also disappeared strangely, but only the police and vigilantes paid attention to the latter.

As for the new vigilante that others were more concerned about, that person was wearing a red and black uniform, had a sticker on his face like D, and claimed to be D as well.

But everyone knew that D was an elementary school student raised by Wuming who had to go to bed at 10 o'clock at night, so they all guessed that the original D was forced by Wuming to go back to school because of lack of sleep, and the code name was also taken away and given to the new heir.

"How does it feel to inherit your own code name?"

On a rainy night in Tokyo, the young vigilante was walking on a black skateboard, sighing and helplessly pressing the communicator beside his ear, responding to Amuro Toru's teasing: "Please spare me, at least this guess is more reliable than their previous idea of ​​'D is actually a Zashiki-warashi so he can change his height freely'."

While Kudo Shinichi was begging for mercy, his eyes never shifted away from his surroundings, always paying close attention to whether there was a crime scene.

"Ha...D, it seems the police in Ikebukuro can't sit still anymore. The police will be here soon. Please go and stabilize the situation first." In the headset, Amuro Toru was halfway through laughing when his voice suddenly became serious.

"receive."

The skateboard under Kudo Shinichi's feet turned a corner and accelerated towards Ikebukuro.

Even though it was raining, his uniform was specially made by Wuming. I don't know what material it was made of, it looked like cloth, but it was completely waterproof. After putting on the deerstalker hat, even his face would not get wet by the rain.

He always told himself not to be too surprised by the fancy technology Wuming had... but this was pretty cool.

"They still insist on coming out to commit crimes in this kind of weather...how impatient they must be." Kudo Shinichi complained casually.

Even so, he still rushed to the address given by Amuro Toru as fast as he could, but...

On the factory floor, members of the □□ were rolling around, and it looked like each of them had at least three or four bones broken.

Someone had taken action before him? Was it the enemy?

Kudo Shinichi frowned, jumped off the skateboard, squatted down and checked the injuries of the members.

His movements suddenly stopped as a bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky outside the factory.

"...Brother Zero." The voice of the young vigilante was not covered by the thunder and echoed clearly in the underground base.

"The one who subdued them was Wuming."
