Detective Conan's Desperate Cry

Chapter 120 "Lies" (09) Undercurrents Surging (01)

【How I hope that one day, I can meet you in my original capacity. 】

This is a collision between dreams and reality. She can't remember how many times she was lost in this illusory illusion.

Every time she reunited in the illusion, she had to examine herself, what kind of identity she used to meet him, and what kind of identity she met him.

The reasoning boy in memory, as always, showed a confident smile, warming her blood-cold heart.

That's right, when she first saw him, he stole her heart with such a smile.

Every time they meet again in the illusion, she doesn't know whether she is happy or sad, and every time a familiar smile dilutes her desperate heart, but he and she can't feel any joy.

The dazzling sunlight was covered by the curtains, and there was no breath of life in the room, as if there were only inanimate furniture here.

If it wasn't in the corner, a group of black shadows suddenly moved.

She woke up, mouth parched, reached out and grabbed the glass on the table, only to find that there was not a drop of water in it.Throwing away the glass at random, she lay down on the ground again with a dejected expression.

Every time she wakes up from a dream, she cannot accept the reality, so every time she wakes up from a dream, she is in this state.

Helpless, hopeless.

Then get up again, wash and dress up until you are glamorous and elegant, and you are completely different from yourself half an hour ago.

She looked at herself in the mirror and forced a smile. For a moment, she was suddenly in a trance.

The feeling of dizziness hit, she supported the mirror so that she did not fall down.

Time is running out, she must find the source of the danger as soon as possible, and kill it in the cradle.

The spiders have woven their webs, and the birds have taken flight.

Wait for the good news.

Conan himself didn't understand, when he thought of Kudo Shinyu these two days, his heart ached.Although he could never return to the heart-piercing cry that day, it was as if she had invaded his internal organs like poison. Once he started to miss her, it would definitely affect his whole body and hurt his heart.

A gust of wind blew by, and a few strands of hair hung lazily on his forehead, and the black hair fluttered, blocking his sight.

"Xinyi, Xinyi?"

It wasn't until the voice on the phone rang that he remembered that he was still on the phone.

"Ah, Lan, what's the matter?" He held the voice changer and whispered in the phone booth.

"I mean, Conan's condition isn't very good recently. He cried very sadly two days ago. No matter how I tried to coax him, it didn't help. His eyes were swollen from crying, and Dad was also shocked. He shut himself up for the past two days. I didn't want to go out at home, so I had to ask the school for leave."

Conan didn't expect Xiaolan to call because of this, and she was really absent-minded these two days, Xiaolan was worried about him, and it was not unreasonable.

"Children, it is inevitable that you will encounter some unhappy things. Xiaolan, don't worry, just let Conan calm down for two days." In fact, it will be fine in a day and a half, he thought in his heart.

"But I'm really worried about him. Conan has always been different from other children. No matter what happens, he will calmly deal with it. So sometimes, I wonder if he is a child. But this time it was really scary. Damn me, I've never seen him cry, you don't know how sad he cried that day, my clothes are soaked!"

Conan: "..." Of course he knew how badly he cried that day, anyway, he has never cried so badly in his life.

The other time I shed tears was because I almost lost Xiaolan.

Xiaolan continued: "I said, Shinichi. When you were your age, why would you be so sad?"

Conan: "..." If he knew, he wouldn't cry!
But when I think about it, why is he crying?The position of the heart, once it hurts, he is afraid.

Fear of losing, someone.

"This, Xiaolan, when I was so old, crying didn't exist for me, and I can't see through it for a child now!"

"It's true, I found that I don't understand Conan more and more." Xiaolan sighed in another paragraph, "That's it, I'll go back and see him later."

"Oh? Don't you still have to go to class?" Conan was slightly startled.

"I don't worry about Conan being at home alone and looking like that. I've already asked for leave and I'm almost at the door."

!

Conan was suddenly dumbfounded, approaching the door of the house meant that she knew immediately that he was not at home.

"Xiao, Xiaolan, then, I still have something to do, let's talk about it next time!" After speaking, Conan hung up the phone quickly and rushed out of the phone booth.

"Xinyi, Xin..." Before Xiaolan had time to say goodbye, she just heard a beeping sound, and closed the phone depressedly, "What, obviously you called and wanted to talk to someone, really... ..." Xiaolan curled her lips to express her dissatisfaction, but when she arrived at the corner, she saw a familiar figure.

Looking closer, I realized it was her.

"Newspeak? Why are you here?"

Xinyu turned to look at Xiaolan, and smiled: "Sister Xiaolan, I'm going out for a walk, it's too boring to be alone."

It was only then that Xiaolan remembered that Xinyu had returned to China alone, her parents were still in the United States, and her only relative was the reasoning maniac who suddenly hung up on her just now.She asked, "Xin Yu, haven't you been to see Shinichi in the past few days since you came back to Japan?"

Xinyu shook his head, with a hint of disappointment on his expression: "No, he seems very busy..."

"That reasoning fanatic has been busy..." Xiao Lan muttered softly.

"Huh? Miss Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"

"No, it's nothing." Xiaolan shook her head in a panic, "Well, Xinyu, go to my house. Conan may not go to school these days. If you are bored by yourself, he can just accompany you."

Xinyu is a careful girl, and Xiaolan thought that she would definitely agree.Unexpectedly, she frowned slightly, and shook her head: "I still can't, I, I don't know how to get along with children..."

Xiaolan's smiling face was stunned for a second: "Oh?" Didn't they get along well with Conan last time?Pushing aside the question in her heart, Xiaolan didn't ask.

"I, I have something else to do. Sister Xiaolan, goodbye!" Xin Yu just turned around and left after finishing speaking.

Xiaolan hasn't reacted yet: "Huh? Xin, Xinyu?" When Yu fell, she found that Xinyu's back was getting farther and farther away, so she had no choice but to give up.

Just as a gust of cold wind blew by, Xiaolan hugged herself tightly.

Why does she feel that the people around her are becoming more and more strange?
Can't guess.

-

Conan saw Newspeak at the crossroads at the exit of the shopping mall.

In the gap between people's mistakes, and the short moment when the sun was covered by white clouds, Conan thought that he was delusional.

Until the white clouds dissipated and the light followed his line of sight, he saw Xinyu walking through the crowd, she was running.

The wind lifted her skirt, her hair, her tears.

Conan followed her immediately, he followed behind her, only to realize after running, why did he follow her?

He should be going home now.

Conan stopped, and the surrounding people passed by, all looking at the boy who stopped in the middle of the road.

Conan stayed where he was, and after a few minutes, he turned around and started walking home.

But as soon as he took a step up, his heart throbbed so hard that he was about to suffocate him. He squatted on the spot for a while, surrounded by people coming and going, but no one stayed.

Suddenly, the pain in his heart stopped, and he stood up and continued walking towards home.

Walking across the road ahead and turning into the alley, Conan had already seen the words Maori Detective Agency and quickened his pace.

The running steps stopped suddenly, and Conan opened his eyes wide, but a pair of strong hands behind him covered his mouth, and he couldn't make any sound.

A stimulating smell came, and his feet that had stopped in mid-air fluttered and struggled for a long time, before finally hanging down feebly.

He was dragged away and thrown into a van, which sped away.

Only Conan's glasses, which fell to the ground after struggling, remained.
