Chapter 62



The air in the hospital carried a faint smell of disinfectant. Jiang Lai's consciousness slowly returned from a distant place. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. The scene in his vision changed from illusory to clear.

There was a solid blue ceiling above his head and a white quilt covering himself. Jiang Lai blinked in confusion and caught a glimpse of the medicine bottle beside him, the comfort items piled up on the bedside table, and the silver-haired boy sitting quietly.

His gray eyes were staring at Jiang Lai silently without saying a word.

——It’s the second personality.

Jiang Lai sat up with the support of his elbows. He blinked and said with a smile, "It's you. Long time no see - oh no, it should be that we haven't talked for a long time." His voice was still hoarse, and the silver-haired boy handed him the cup of water prepared beside him.

"Thank you." Jiang Lai's hand was still wrapped in a bandage with medicine on it. He carefully took the cup of water and moistened his throat. "How long have I been unconscious? Hiss... my hand still hurts."

"A few days." Kurosawa Akira replied, "But your burns haven't healed yet, so you'll have to stay in the hospital for a while."

However, the recovery ability in the scientific world is already very strong - logically speaking, Jiang Lai felt that he had respiratory burns and lung infection, but now after waking up, although his throat is a little hoarse and dry, it is not that serious.

Jiang Lai: Maybe there is some BOSS physique blessing or something like that. :-D

"Well, luckily the students have finished all the previous classes." Jiang Lai turned his head to look at him, "Is today the weekend? You didn't go to class?"

"It's time to go home from school." The silver-haired boy said in a cold voice, "I came out because he was too noisy."

...Huh? Jiang Lai was slightly stunned, and then he roughly understood it in his heart.

He was referring to the other personality, right? Xiao Zhao would probably hug him and cry. It would be a shame for a child to bear such anxiety and worry alone... Oh, where is Jing Guang?! Jiang Lai's expression suddenly froze.

As if he saw what Jiang Lai wanted to ask, Kurosawa Akira replied in advance: "This time is the time when the attending physician organizes the files. Zhu Fu is concerned about your daily data, so he will go to check it out."

"That's good." Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried about the mark... he didn't know what the situation was now.

"Don't you have anything to say?" The silver-haired boy looked at Jiang Lai with his gray eyes.

Jiang Lai looked back at him, his eyebrows softened: "...I'm sorry, I didn't pick you up that night."

"...So you still remember it." Kurosawa Akira snorted. He was silent for a few seconds, then raised his eyes and said, "You always do dangerous things. Why can't you live a normal life?"

The silver-haired boy's grey eyes were like some kind of cool gemstone.

"——If this is the result of free-range breeding, then keep them in a cage."

"..." Jiang Lai blinked his eyes, "Wow, it sounds scary and strange, where did you learn these words, Xiao Zhao?"

"Don't use it casually." Jiang Lai stretched out his bandaged hand and gently patted the boy's head, "Come and recite the elementary school student rules."

"..." The other party did not reply.

"When facing danger, running away is useless, just like the saying goes." Jiang Lai took his hand back and said with a smile, "Only when people move forward will suffering retreat."

He smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. We can face it together. Whether life is ordinary or rough, these are unique experiences."

"…But every time you were in danger, I wasn't there."

"Yes." Jiang Lai looked at the other person with warm brown eyes, "You were also one of the spiritual motivations that supported me at the fire scene this time."

“…”

"Thank you," Jiang Lai half-jokingly said, "Then, do you want to hug me and cry?" He opened his arms, being especially careful not to pull the needle, "Come on, come on, open your warm embrace to the baby——"

The black-haired young man had a smiling face. Although he looked a little pale and weak, his spirit was already radiating full of vitality.

Kurosawa Akira's hands on his knees curled up slightly. He paused and said, "...No." The young boy turned his face away. "Let that guy do this."

The second personality quickly returned, and Xiao Zhao with dark green eyes reappeared. He rubbed his eyes, as if he had just woken up. When he saw Jiang Lai sitting up, he was full of surprise and said, "Brother Jiang Lai! You're awake!" His eyes were full of tears.

He wanted to rush forward and hug Jiang Lai, but he was afraid of touching his wound, so he stopped halfway. Jiang Lai took the initiative to hug him, and patted his back despite the pain in his hand: "Okay, okay, I'm fine."

"Wow... I'm so afraid of explosions and fire. Brother Jiang Lai is also..."

"It's no big deal, I'm here after all." Jiang Lai nodded and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, after all, I promised to grow up with you. Come on, wipe your tears."

Jiang Lai took out a piece of tissue paper from the bedside cabinet and handed it to the other party, and Kurosawa Akira looked up and took it.

He wiped his tears with a tissue, then dug out a cell phone from his small schoolbag beside him: "…This is yours, Brother Jiang Lai."

"Wow!" Jiang Lai's eyes lit up, and he took the phone without caring about the pain in his hand, "You brought it to me!"

"Well... this was taken from you by the rescuers. They said it was a miracle and luck that the phone didn't explode or get damaged." Kurosawa Akira narrated in a low voice, "I remember you valued it very much, so I kept it well and will give it to you as soon as you wake up."

"Thank you, Xiao Zhao," Jiang Lai said with a smile, "This is indeed very important to me."

Kurosawa Akira also smiled, then rubbed his eyes, as if he wanted to yawn, but suppressed it.

"Are you sleepy, Xiao Zhao?" Jiang Laiminrui noticed, "You haven't slept well these days. Why don't you lie down and take a nap for a while... or you can come up?"

"No, no, your injury hasn't healed yet, I won't go to bed and squeeze you," Kurosawa Akira waved his hands, his dark green eyes were clear and transparent, "I'll get close to you and sleep on my stomach."

"I'm just going to sleep for a little while..." Kurosawa Akira emphasized before going to bed, "Wake me up if you need anything."

"Okay~" Jiang Lai responded with a smile, then looked at the silver-haired boy sleeping on the bed.

His hands were still bandaged, but fortunately his fingers were clearly separated. It was just that the touch screen was not very sensitive.

Jiang Lai first glanced at the phone calls and text messages.

Almost everyone who knew he was in the hospital sent him text messages to express their condolences, especially his friends, who were very sincere in their messages. Jiang Lai replied to them one by one, telling them that he had woken up and they didn't need to worry.

Then he opened the comic book.

A lot of comics have been updated recently. Jiang Lai started from where he had finished last time and slowly flipped through the pages.

It is basically the same as what I experienced, except that the existence of the soul body Jingguang is not described, and it is from Conan's main perspective.

From his perspective, many of his actions and postures appear mysterious and powerful, with a hint of mischief and confidence.

From the comic special effects, he could feel Conan's great embarrassment and fear when he mistook the wrong person, as well as his final self-destruction.

Jiang Lai: I laughed my ass off.

Jiang Lai looked at his acting skills in the comics when facing the scarred man and was very satisfied - so he can really consider entering the entertainment industry when he returns! (bushi)

When Conan saw Jinpei Matsuda, he felt vaguely familiar with him, but he couldn't remember what he was thinking for a while.

Jiang Lai: ...Have you seen the photos?

Their psychological thoughts can also be seen from the comics. Jiang Lai noticed the fluctuations in Conan's impression of him and the inner thoughts of Kuroba Kaito, and his lips curled slightly.

Improve your impression points, and it will be easier to do things in the future. Jiang Lai cat thumbs up.

The following is the content before and after he fell into a coma.

Jiang Lai was about to cry when he saw the panel shot of Morobushi Kagemitsu in the comics and the news that Hagiwara Kenji told Amuro Toru - finally! Hard work pays off!

Kenji Hagiwara, you are the light of hope, the god of resurrection!

I'll bang the gongs, smash the walls, and scatter flowers for you!

Although Jiang Lai was not quite sober at the time, he still maintained some rationality. He wanted to push forward the resurrection process, but did not want to cause himself any trouble for the time being, so he gave a half-vague answer to Hagihara Kenji's on-site inquiry.

——The rest depends on the other party’s imagination!

Looks like a great success.

I don't know how the resurrection progress is now. Jiang Lai is now looking forward to seeing the mark of the soul body Morobu Kagemitsu.

The following is the content after being hospitalized. Jiang Lai was a little surprised that the comics spent so much space to depict the people who came to visit him during his coma.

Jiang Lai: Wow, so many pages in total, it’s almost like I’m being treated like the protagonist!

However, Jiang Lai was very happy about this, as he could get a lot of information from the comics.

Jinpei Matsuda was the first one. It seemed that he did not have time to bring any comfort items. He came here as soon as the black-haired young man was transferred to the ward.

He was wearing sunglasses and a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly in the comic, but it could be seen that he stood silently in front of the bed for a while before leaving.

When he was leaving, Kenji Hagiwara happened to come here, and the two passed each other - no one spoke, but the comic gave a close-up of each of them.

The slightly curled fingers and pursed lips showed that they had recognized each other.

When Hagiwara Kenji walked to the door of the ward, he received a short message on his phone: [Thank you.]

Hagiwara Kenji stopped and quickly replied with two more.

[You are so polite to me? ]

【He is also my friend.】

Then he put away his phone and gently opened the door.

Unlike Matsuda Jinpei who just stood in front of the bed, Hagiwara Kenji was busy in the ward for a while. He pulled the quilt up, boiled the water, checked the speed of the drip, and adjusted the size and angle of the window.

Then he whispered to the unconscious black-haired young man, "Don't worry, Xiao Zhao. I'll take care of him these few days. You just need to rest and recuperate. I'll pick him up to see you tomorrow after school."

Hagiwara Kenji said this before quietly leaving.

The next morning, the first people to visit were Suzuki Sonoko, the Mori father and daughter, and Conan. They brought a lot of things and piled them on and beside the bedside table.

One of the gifts was shot in close-up, with a Kidd figurine on it.

Jiang Lai: Wow, did Kuaidou also send condolences?

The girls carefully and seriously placed the beautiful and bright flowers in the vase. Conan lay in front of the bed, looking at the unconscious black-haired young man with a complicated expression, and then gently placed a prayer stick in his pocket next to the pillow.

Jiang Lai was startled, then he turned his head and saw the simple and elegant prayer sign next to the pillow and smiled slightly.

A blessing from Destiny's Child?

How rare... I actually wished a blessing to someone who was suspected to be a wine. Jiang Lai touched his chin. But this time, he actually showed some red temperament, so it seemed that the sense of camp was very vague.

In other words, the characters have become more fully developed and are difficult to define with simple colors.

But maybe the young detective didn't think so much, he just gave his blessing, just like he instinctively saved Bermode. Jiang Lai frowned. After all, it was him.

——Respect life and the law.

Jiang Lai continued to read, turning several pages with shaking hands, and saw some unexpected people appearing on the screen.

——Toru Amuro and Samuster.

Jiang Lai:? ?!

If Amuro Toru's story can still be explained, then why did that pervert Samuster come here? Shocking!!
