Dead silence.

Even when his Luqi was locked in a closed room, he didn't seem to be so dead when he was rescued.

The black-haired boy just looked at them like that, and then slowly, slowly, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. His voice seemed to be far away in the sky, but there seemed to be nothing unusual. "I'm going out for a while."

Conan didn't notice anything wrong, but he still held Kudo's hand and asked, "What are you going to do, brother?"

Kudo looked at him with an unexpectedly gentle expression, and there seemed to be a tiny light flashing in his eyes. "I want to go see Ayang."

"Is that so? Then brother should come back soon." Conan smiled sweetly and did not stop him.

After all, in his eyes, Kudo is no longer just a visitor from another world, he is also a victim, and another him.

How could he guard against another self?

Kudo nodded and replied, "I will."

He's not coming back.

Sorry, he lied.

The boy lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes hid the emotions in his eyes. Conan, who turned around, did not see it.

Riku didn't say anything, just stared at him. After a while, when Kudo had already walked to the door, he said, "Come back."

The boy kept moving. He had already sentenced himself to death, so how could he stop?

"Come back, Ayi." Riku changed his tone.

He didn't understand Kuro Kudo, and perhaps he didn't understand Shikasai either, but he could feel that determination to die.

Maybe Lu Qi was acting - after all, he had to do this to return to the real world, but he still didn't want to see Lu Qi like that.

You can call him the Virgin Mary, or you can say he cannot distinguish right from wrong.

In short, he wanted to save Lu Qi like this.

"What do you want?" The black-haired boy stopped and turned around to look back at him calmly. His particularly beautiful sea-blue eyes were still empty, and his calmness made people feel a little chilly.

"Do you... want to die?" Lu Jiu hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to ask directly.

After all, he doesn't know how to beat around the bush, so it would be better to just ask directly.

Conan was stunned.

ha?

"Why do you think so?" Kudo looked at him with a calm tone.

"I don't know how to put it... but you give me this feeling." The silver-haired boy looked at him firmly, "I always feel... that if I don't hold you back now, I will lose you forever."

Kudo tilted his head and looked at him in surprise.

"We need a reason to live." He said this calmly.

"You don't need a reason to live." Lu Jiu immediately followed up with this sentence, "You need a reason to die, and you also need a reason to kill people."

"But the thing in this world that needs no reason the most is to be alive."

"Yeah, Brother Ichi." Conan also saw it, but he didn't quite understand it.

At that time... when he tried to commit suicide, wasn't he saved by Xiaolan? Why did he want to die again?

If you really wanted to die, why not just not be rescued at that time?

Of course, he didn't mean to say that Kudo faked his death to draw attention to himself. What he meant was, if he still wanted to die in the end, why would he go through this in-between part?

Or... was there something that caused him to change his mind and ultimately choose to embrace death?

Without enough information, the detective couldn't figure out what was going on.

At this time, Shuichi Akai, who was originally sitting at the computer desk, had already left the desk and was standing in front of his door eavesdropping.
