Chapter 14: Memories of Struggle 2



The successive explosions instantly shattered the entire rooftop. Kisaki Eri and Hagiwara Kenji stood downstairs in a daze, looking at the rooftop engulfed in flames, their hearts turning cold.

Qichuan Yuan was still on the roof. In fact, the collapse here was not as serious as it seemed. It was just that the fire was too big, giving people the illusion that there was nothing they could do.

"Sigawa Gen glanced at Mrs. Gojo indifferently, like a doll that had lost its soul. He walked to the corner, helped Matsuda Jinpei up, and walked towards the window.

The windows were mainly made of glass, and under the high temperature some of the glass had already cracked under the weight. Only the windows on the glass wall were still holding on.

Qichuan Yuan watched his movements, realized his intention, and his eyes suddenly widened: This guy, is he going to jump off the building again?

The next second, Sugawa Gen's action confirmed his thought. He kicked the glass window to pieces and jumped out of the window holding Matsuda Jinpei.

Can you please not jump with Jinpei Matsuda?

Qichuan Yuan cursed inwardly and hurried to the window to look down. He saw Qichuan Yuan nimbly stepped on the outdoor unit and broke through the bottom window and jumped in. He breathed a sigh of relief. However, before his heart dropped to the bottom, he saw Qichuan Yuan jumped out of the window and fell straight to the ground.

Crazy, Qichuan Yuan murmured in shock, his eyes went dark, and his whole body changed position.

"Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."

Such familiar words. Qichuan Yuan opened his eyes and saw darkness. His heart tightened and he suddenly felt a little difficulty breathing.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The person who spoke should be Jinpei Matsuda. Although his voice is that of a young boy, he already has the shape of his future self.

Matsuda Jinping patted Sugawa Gen's back soothingly and said, "Hold on a little longer, the police will be here soon."

Gen Sugawa opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a sharp pain swept through his brain. In an instant, his mind went blank and he blankly accepted the extra memory - on his thirteenth birthday, Mrs. Gojo accompanied him out to celebrate, and they encountered thugs on the way. In order to protect him, Mrs. Gojo locked him in the locker room and was killed.

Qichuan Yuan's hands felt hot. He raised his hands in a daze and touched his cheeks. His hands were wet.

The world line changed again. Qichuan Yuan suppressed the sudden sadness in his heart and pretended to be calm and diverted his attention.

Thirteen years old, this should be the memory line of Kurosawa Jin.

"Memory interrupted, memories about to end"

Sugawa Gen was shocked. What happened? Was his memory lost?

"Memory interrupted, memories about to end"

However, even though the world consciousness kept shouting this, nothing changed in front of Qichuan Yuan. It must be a bug, Qichuan Yuan murmured.

"There are two children here!"

There was a blinding light before my eyes, the door was opened, and the policemen holding flashlights had joy on their faces. They carefully covered their flashlights and helped the two children out, then covered their eyes and walked away from the bloody crime scene.

After repeatedly assuring himself that he was fine, Gen Sugawa said goodbye to Jinpei Matsuda under the protection of his bodyguards and took a car home. On the way back, he was slow to react. He had just tried to escape from the body, but failed.

Moreover, he now had nearly ten years of memories in his mind. But he did not feel the slightest bit of surprise or strangeness, as if this body had always been his and these memories were what he had experienced.

Realizing this possibility, Qichuan Yuan thought back to the middle part of the memory mentioned by the world consciousness, and an extremely incredible thought emerged in his mind. The following events were all experienced by Qichuan Yuan himself. And the body that did not reject him was the body that Qichuan Yuan had been using after crossing over.

This idea was confirmed after he returned home. Qichuan Yuan looked at the column of orphans shown on the identity information and was a little stunned. The previous two times, he saw single parents on the identity information.

This is the third world line.

"The world line has been corrected and the backtracking is about to end."

"Qichuan, you finally woke up!"

After hearing the words of the world consciousness, Qichuan Yuan lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, he was facing the anxious face of Matsuda Jinpei. He blinked and felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. He said in a hoarse voice, "How long have I slept?"

Matsuda Jinpei poured him a glass of water and helped him sit up. "Three days."

He looked at the pale-faced Qichuan Yuan and said angrily, "Have you not taken your medicine recently? Why are all your health indicators several points lower? You need to take medicine, do you understand?"

Qichuan Gen nodded nonchalantly, and said in a very natural and vague way: "Got it, curly-haired idiot."

Matsuda Jinpei paused, a glimmer of joy flashed across his eyes, and a hint of pleasure appeared in his tone. He rubbed the furry head hard, "Are you talking about yourself, you curly-haired idiot?"

Sugawa Gen hid for a moment and complained, "I told you not to rub my head, stupid officer."

"Are you afraid that you won't grow tall, kid? Jinpei Matsuda seemed to be injected with chicken blood. His whole face became bright and he teased the patient happily.

"Even if I'm not tall, I'm still taller than the police officer. Gen Sugawa responded almost reflexively, "I'm just afraid of being infected with the stupid aura of the stupid police officer."

Matsuda Jinpei was not angry either, his eyebrows were slightly curved, and his usual bossy demeanor was completely different from what he usually had. "Little brat, are you itching again?"

Oops, it seems like his memory has affected him. After a few words back and forth like the elementary school student Jinpei Matsuda, Gen Sugawa reacted belatedly.

But Matsuda seems to be in a good mood?

He tried to answer according to his memory: "Is Officer Matsuda angry and humiliated? Is he going to bully the weak?"

"You little brat!" Matsuda Jinpei snorted, smiling, "I'm going out to buy food, you wait."

Gen Saikawa looked at Jinpei Matsuda who rushed out of the ward, was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth. He looked at the green-headed frog swaying happily behind the door and chuckled.

"Why are you so ugly?"

Green-headed frog: ..Are you polite? Did I provoke you?

Qichuan Yuan looked out the window, and for no reason he felt very happy in his heart, and also had a sense of happiness?

He placed his hand on his chest, his heart beating violently with excitement. There was a look of confusion in his eyes. Could this feeling be happiness?

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door. Qichuan Yuan raised his head alertly and saw an unexpected silver-haired man with a cold face. "Kid, why are you in the hospital again?"

Qichuan Yuan tilted his head, "Why are you here?"

And he came here so openly.

"Dealing with the mouse, Gin walked over to the bedside, looked at the pale face of Sugawa Gen, and frowned, "What about your body that was treated abroad?"

Such rubbish?

Qichuan Yuan understood the meaning behind this question mark. He twitched his lips and said, "It was just an accident. I just fell into the water by accident."

Gin glanced at the medical report on the bedside and sneered, "You didn't take the medicine?"

Why do you feel a little cold?

Qichuan Yuan quietly curled up in the quilt. Why were they asking him to take medicine? He was not sick. However, he was a wise man who knew the current situation. He said nonsense: "I took it."

As expected, Gin's expression eased a little. He took out a white box from his pocket and threw it next to Sugawa Gen's pillow. "This is the new medicine that the organization has researched. Drink this."

"Oh," Gen Saikawa picked up the box and took a look. There was nothing on it except a string of inexplicable characters. He stuffed it under the pillow and said, "Have you..." completed your mission?"

Qichuan Yuan looked at the empty ward in front of him and looked up at the sky in silence. Is this a ghost? Why is there no movement at all?

However, his ward was particularly lively today. Gin had just left, and Matsuda Jinpei had not returned yet. Conan entered the ward alone carrying a large bag of things. When he saw Sugawa Gen, his eyes lit up, "You're awake!"

"You are..." What are you doing?

Qichuan Yuan found that in just less than half an hour, he was speechless more times than in the previous week. He watched Conan put the bag on the table with a grunt, and sat down on the bed with a pant.

"I'm so tired——"

Qichuan Yuan looked through the bag and asked, "Why did you buy so many things?"

Potato chips, biscuits, dried fish...

This doesn't look like food for patients.

Conan waved his hands, "I thought you were still asleep. I was planning to stay here tonight."

Oh, so these are all bought for yourself.

Qichuan Gen retracted his hand and slid back into the quilt with disinterest.

"But there are also things in there from the Seto family as a thank-you gift. Conan jumped off the bed, pulled out a purple box, and curiously leaned over to ask, "What is this?"

Qichuan Yuan shook it and found it was very heavy. He opened the seal and a strong, damp smell of dried grapes wafted out. The two men's faces froze - why were they smelling dried grapes?

Conan took a few steps back tremblingly, and seeing that Sugawa Gen also frowned in resistance, he quickly put the box back into the bag.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely pleased: I forgot that Qichuan also hates dried grapes.

Sugawa Gen tore open the small bread and asked, "By the way, what happened to the Seto family later?"

"Mrs. Seto, no, now she should be called Mrs. Gou Cang, she is divorced from Mr. Seto."

Qichuan Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Successful?"

"Yes," Conan nodded, with some disgust and some satisfaction in his words, "Mr. Seto disagreed, but Mrs. Gou Sou had the video of his domestic violence in her hand. With the help of Mrs. Watanabe, she took Mr. Seto to court and won the case. Both daughters were awarded to Mrs. Gou Sou."

"Domestic violence?" Sugawa Gen was surprised. Mr. Seto looked gentle and refined. Is he a beast in human clothing?

Conan nodded angrily: "Yes, I finally understand why Mrs. Gou Sou attacked Miss Aoi even though it was clearly Mr. Seto's fault. It's not that she didn't want to attack Mr. Seto, she just didn't dare."

"It's just too abominable!" Conan sighed gloomily, "But fortunately now they have all gotten rid of domestic violence men!"

Qichuan Yuan tore open another bag of potato chips, nodded in agreement, and ate them together with Conan, taking turns to eat.

"I'm back!"

Qichuan Yuan's body froze. With potato chips in his mouth, he looked towards the door. The curly-haired police officer was holding two bags of rice. He looked at them with a fake smile and said with a sinister smile:

"Qichuan, are you eating snacks?"
