Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Yukiko Kudo looked at the father and son who became inexplicably excited, and then walked towards Inspector Megure with high morale, and then her eyes fell on the stairs on the side.

There was a flash of worry in his eyes.

It's been several minutes, why haven't Xiaolan and the others come back yet?

I hope we won’t be in danger.

downstairs,

Also leaving under the pretext of going to the bathroom, Mao Lilan came to this floor and stood calmly less than one meter away from Haibara Ai.

His eyes swept across Haibara Ai's face, revealing a cold expression that was in stark contrast to her cute outfit.

Even though he had heard the entire thing, his tone was still gentle.

"Xiao Ai, we should go back."

Huibara Ai, who had a cold face, was so panicked at this moment that it seemed as if a naughty little rabbit had lived in her heart.

pounding.

She didn't know when Mao Lilan came, but she could tell from her eyes that she heard it.

I heard her using a voice changer and headset to communicate with others, and I heard her say the code name of the wine, Four Roses.

Having concealed the secret for a long time and then being suddenly discovered made Haibara Ai subconsciously take a few steps back in panic.

Then after he came to his senses, he stopped moving backwards.

"Sister Xiaolan must have heard it."

Huibara Ai, who was glad that she turned off the microphone immediately after finishing the report, gave a fake smile without any warmth.

He faced Mao Lilan and looked at her seriously, his eyes still as gentle as ever, and walked back to his original position step by step.

"Four Roses Bourbon, this is my new code name in the organization after Shirley."

"Xiao Ai said that because she heard my footsteps before."

Mao Lilan smiled:

"Do you want to see me scared? I'm not as easy to fool as Conan.

There is no signal around now, and Inspector Megure and others can't contact the outside world. How can you communicate with others?

And you don't have a cell phone or a detective badge in your hand, so it's impossible for you to contact someone out of thin air."

"Although the waiting time is indeed boring, Lady Four Roses, we really have to go back quickly, otherwise Aunt Yukiko will be worried."

Ran Mouri stretched out her hand, and the trust on her face seemed to hurt Haibara Ai's eyes.

She lowered her eyes and didn't look at the hand stretched out in front of her.

A sneer broke the brief silence and also broke Mao Lilan's gentle expression.

"Sister Xiaolan, stop deceiving yourself, or do you want to trick me back and hand me over to the police.

Or the FBI, who is nowhere to be found right now.”

Mao Lilan was slightly stunned and was about to speak when Haibara Ai interrupted her.

"It's incredible, isn't it? My sister died in the hands of the organization in order to take me away, and I took APTX-4869, which has a mortality rate close to %, in order to escape the organization.

But that’s the way it is.”

Having prepared herself mentally, Huiyuan Ai looked into Mao Lilan's eyes without flinching, her eyes revealing complete indifference:

"I regret."

There was no detailed account of the reasons for the regrets, nor was there any elaboration on how to return to the organization and obtain a new code name.

After making her attitude clear, Haibara Ai turned her head to look at the thick fog outside the window, and started to drive people away directly and clearly.

"Since we once had a fairly pleasant time together, you can go.

The next time we meet, we will be enemies."

"I do not believe."

These three simple words instantly shattered the cold defense that Haibara Ai had worked so hard to build.

Without waiting for her to react, Mao Lilan took advantage of this opportunity and took three or two steps to where she was only one step away from Haibara Ai.

Then, without thinking, he stretched out his hands and placed them on Haibara Ai's slightly trembling shoulders.

The next second, before she could open her mouth to refute, Haibara Ai, who had uttered those threatening and intimidating words, fell into a warm embrace.

"Don't be afraid, Ai."

Words that were gentle yet firm, and a hug that was strong enough without feeling restrictive.

Before Haibara Ai realized it, the tears that had been accumulating in her eyes rolled down from her eye sockets.

She should have pushed away this embrace fiercely. She should have used the sharpest and most harsh words to make the person holding her realize that they were from two different worlds.

She doesn't deserve this embrace, doesn't deserve this tenderness.

She was born in the organization, grew up in the organization, and should... die there.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Haibara Ai's mind one by one, and finally stopped on that afternoon at the Tulip Manor.

In the end, Haibara Ai, who had been frozen in Mouri Ran's arms and crying silently for a long time, closed her eyes.

He reached out and pushed Mao Lilan away.

He spoke seriously and firmly:

"You're addressing me wrongly. I'm not Huibara Ai."

I will no longer be Haibara Ai from now on.

"This name was a pseudonym used to deceive others and disguise one's identity from the very beginning."

So don't have any trust in me anymore.

"My name is Miyano Shiho. I used to be Shirley who betrayed the organization, but now I am the fourth rose who is loyal to Master Whiskey."

If we meet again in the future, please don't forget that I am your enemy.

In the quiet and empty concrete building, every word that sounded clearly was telling Mao Lilan that they would become enemies.

It's also a warning to myself.

Haibara Ai once again looked seriously into Mouri Ran's eyes.

She thought that she wouldn't be able to receive this kind of tenderness the next time they met.

However, Mao Lilan did not argue with Haibara Ai's words, but accurately captured the key she wanted to find from what she said.

“Allegiance to Whiskey?

In the few times you and he have met, the only time you two had time to be alone together was probably in Kyoto Haruhei, when you were being followed and hunted by bad guys.

And then there was the time when Karasuma Soshin saved me."

Huiyuan Ai was stunned for a moment, then responded coldly:

"You've come to terms with your position so quickly. Are you trying to get information from me?"

Seeing Ai raising her spikes again, trying to isolate her, Mao Li Ran sighed in her heart.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw that Haibara Ai's expression suddenly froze, and panic and panic could not be stopped in her eyes.

Pearl earphones can be used for decoration or communication.

As the channel on the other end switched, a familiar voice that Huiyuan Ai feared the most at this moment reached her ears:

"Four Roses, are you free now?"

Haibara Ai didn't dare to look at Mouri Ran again. She gestured to keep quiet and took several steps back.

After making sure the distance was far enough so that Whiskey on the other end of the communication would not detect him, he turned on the audio and replied in his original voice.

"Please give me your orders."

The good sound insulation of the pearl headphones prevented Mao Lilan from hearing clearly what instructions Haibara Ai received.

But when she saw Haibara Ai walking away, she immediately determined that it must be a dangerous order.

"Don't follow me!"

The high pitch makes the child's voice, which should be cute and sweet, become extremely sharp.

With red eyes, Haibara looked at Mouri Ran who was following behind her, keeping three steps away, neither crossing the line nor increasing the distance.

In her heart, despising her own incompetence and cowardice, Haibara Ai tried hard to suppress the crying tone in her voice, but Mouri Ran still heard it clearly.

She stopped, her face filled with infinite tenderness from beginning to end.

The brave and fearless female karate fighter is never lacking in gentleness and patience when facing her lover, relatives and friends.

"I have a sensitive and very smart sister. She has two names, one is Miyano Shiho and the other is Huihara Ai."

The decisive words were stuck in her throat, and Huibara Ai's only thought at this moment was to escape.

She had to run away and couldn't listen any longer.

However, her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead at this moment.

Not to mention running, I can't even lift it up.

“I didn’t participate in her time as Miyano Shiho, but I think it must have been a not-so-bright past.

Because when I first met Ai, she was like a little hedgehog.

The sharp thorns stand upright, and anyone who reaches out to her will be pricked, no matter what the purpose is.

But after spending more time with her, you will find that she is actually a kind-hearted girl."

Haibara Ai was so touched by the nostalgic look in Mouri Ran's eyes that she couldn't help but breathe more slowly.

The memories of the past are like an album blown by the wind, with bright, shadowy, and dark photos being quickly flipped through.

The thought of escaping and hiding once again emerged in Haibara Ai's mind, but her feet remained where they were.

The rational soul kept urging him to leave quickly and carry out Whiskey's orders, while the body controlled by emotions stubbornly stayed where it was.

Waiting... her sister opened her arms towards her.

"Whoo~"

The sound of the running blew the hem of Haibara Ai's skirt into a beautiful curve, and even the bare window that had never had a window installed, and the thin layer of mist that had unknowingly poured in was blown up.

After a not-so-long wait, the extremely patient Mao Li Ran finally saw her sister throw herself into her arms.

This fell into the eyes of Karasuma Soshin, who had remained silent and watched quietly from beginning to end.

There are very few people in this world who can deceive him.

For him, judging a person's emotions and the truthfulness of his words from his voice and words is as easy as eating and drinking.

From the day he recruited people under his command, he knew this day would come.

Shiho Miyano is a person who grew up in darkness but never completely accepted it, and who has also seen light and shining souls.

Even if I return to darkness, I will still miss the life in the sunshine, and even... I will yearn to return to the sunshine again.

However, this day came faster than he expected.

Karasuma Soshin looked up at the virtual shadow on the screen. From beginning to end, he never had a doubt and never took a step back. He used his trust and tenderness to melt all the timidity and anxiety of Haibara Ai towards Mori Ran.

I thought of Vermouth, who had completely disappeared in recent times and no trace of her whereabouts could be found.

With such a dazzling person, it’s no wonder that even Vermouth, whose bones and blood are soaked in darkness, fell.

Even the existence of Miyano Shiho can be tolerated.

The scene shows that Mouri Ran and Haibara Ai have recovered their good mood and are walking downstairs one after another.

Karasuma Soshin, who had no interest in watching any further, raised his hand and turned off the projection device that was working hard.

Leaning back on the sofa, he looked up at the ceiling.

The banker takes all? Capture as many members of the mysterious side as possible?

If you want to take this opportunity to take away the rare members of the mysterious side and send them to the Duke for research.

There's no way this thing could get around champagne and anise.

If the intention is to strike at the zoo which is now on the verge of death, it will pave the way for the undercover agent of the Moon Group and allow him to completely control the Moon Group.

The news that the people on the mysterious side were rarely active because of Pandora was not spread today.

It would be entirely possible to make plans earlier, instead of having to instruct Gin and ask him for assistance only when the time comes.

Either it is not champagne that is in demand, or it is not just that.

Night Lighthouse, Silver Bullet, Vermouth...

"Ding bell~"

The doorbell suddenly rang, indicating the arrival of a new visitor.

Karasuma Soshin's eyes darkened. Listening to the continuous gunshots made by Gin in the earphone, he stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window, there was a group of four or five people standing quietly at the door.

"Ding ~"

The mobile phone on the tea table suddenly lit up and an unread email popped up.

Karasuma Soshin lowered his eyes and looked at the crow bracelet on his wrist which had returned to him since Elrose came back, and his mood suddenly turned bad.

The worst happened.

...

While Karasuma Soshin was in a very bad mood because of the arrival of this group of uninvited guests, Gin was in a very good mood.

The pleasure and peak satisfaction brought by blood and killing completely overwhelmed his previous unhappiness caused by being called to Seymour City in the middle of the night.

The bullets that other members of the organization got were basically special anesthetic bullets, and their mission was to capture as many mysterious members as possible within sight without harming their lives.

He used the lethal bullet specially provided to him by Karasuma Soshin to leave half the life of the mysterious side member he saw.

However, although the appearance of thick fog does make the direction of the situation difficult to predict, not everyone is a fool.

Oemoto Takeshi, who had been searched for by Toriyama Hitomi and others for a whole night, looked at the thick fog in the light shield that was almost condensed into substance but did not spread outside the light shield. The deep color in his eyes was almost condensed into substance.

After the phone call, Oemoto Takeshi's face suddenly became gloomy.

If you want to intercept halfway, you’re dreaming!

Glancing at the few people around him who were still racking their brains for how to crack the mysterious external support of the light shield, Oemoto Takeshi quickly hid his gloom behind his seriousness.

He turned and walked through the outer defense line composed of ordinary police officers and Moon Group members, and headed out of the crowd.

The few people who were left here took a look and were not surprised by it.

The Yue Group, which has the support of the government and possesses special law enforcement powers, has always been so arrogant.

It is normal to behave like this.

Outside the inner defense line, Director Bai Ma and his team found a nearby library as a temporary base and gathered in the largest reading room on the second floor.

There were lights on overhead and people were sitting in a circle around the table.

All of them have serious faces.

The lack of signal slowed down the speed at which they received information by more than 50 percent, but it was not to the point where they could not get it at all.
