To be honest, the sound insulation of Kudo's house is really not very good.

But when he heard Kudo say "You need a reason to live", Akai Shuichi's heart skipped a beat.

Why does he feel this sentence is familiar?

"All you need is a reason to live."

Wow, isn't this what he said when he answered Kudo's strange question?

Akai Shuichi felt a little guilty.

It seems like he has done something again?

In the living room, the conversation continued.

"But, Brother Ichi, didn't you think the same thing a few days ago?" Conan continued to brainstorm. Before Kudo was kidnapped, he didn't seem to have any similar thoughts.

Although he attempted suicide once, he obviously got much better after being rescued by Mao Lilan.

"No, I've always thought so." Kudo shook his head and said calmly.

"..." Conan was speechless for a moment, "But this world is so beautiful..."

"So there shouldn't be people like me anymore." Kudo interrupted him calmly.

Conan: ...

"No, that's not the case," the detective hurriedly tried to comfort him, "Brother Ichi is a very good person. I, Genta, Ayumi, and sister Xiaolan all like Brother Ichi very much!"

"Because they don't know the real me," Kudo said cruelly. "They don't know which organization I belong to, nor do they know how much blood is on my hands. My soul is black."

“No one will like me.”

He concluded.

Conan said hurriedly, "But my parents and I all know your background, and we all like you very much!"

Even if Kuro Kudo has already sunk into darkness, Conan can't just sit there and watch a life die.

What's more, his counterpart was not completely immersed in darkness - he was calling for help.

Those who have fallen into darkness are crying out to the light for help.

"It's just because of my identity as 'Kudo Shinichi'. If I weren't... nothing would have happened." Kudo said calmly.

"But……"

"But this assumption is not true at all. You are Shinichi, and this is a fact that will not change." Ran Mouri's voice suddenly interrupted.

Conan was surprised, Xiaolan?

Kudo turned around and looked at the door, then stepped aside to let the girl in without saying anything.

The black-haired girl looked at him with a serious expression, "You are 'Kudo Shinichi', this fact cannot be changed, and our love for you is also a fact that cannot be changed."

"If you have no reason to live, then please...live for us."

She didn't know if they had the ability to support a person's life, but they should at least try, right?

Since this person has lost his reason to live, why don't they just give him a reason?

The black-haired boy was stunned. He blinked slowly like a stuck machine.

For them... to survive?

"Yes, Shinichi." Kudo Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku walked in from the door with gentle smiles on their faces. They said, "If you really can't find a reason to live, then please... live for us."

"Until you find a new reason."

The man who looked exactly like him said so.
