Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

Ueda Kiyoshige left with a jump. A man in his twenties or thirties was as happy as a two-year-old child weighing 200 pounds. Obviously, he lost the family property but gained a younger sister.

How can a child who is two years and three hundred months old not be considered a child?

"He's actually a nice, normal person." Bai Zhi tilted her head with a hint of confusion in her eyes. The shell in her hand was shining and very hard, as if telling Bai Zhi that its existence was real.

Forget it, let’s go back first. I wonder if the police have said hello.

When she turned around, Bai Zhi almost bumped into Amuro Toru's arms. The white shirt was just between her nose tip, and Bai Zhi could smell the unique and pleasant scent of Amuro Toru.

"Xiao Ling?" Bai Zhi blinked, feeling inexplicably guilty: "You, when did you come?"

"It started when Kiyoshi Ueda said he dreamt about his mother." Toru Amuro told the truth.

Bai Zhi: “Huh?”

Doesn't that mean you heard everything?

"This, this is my job. I, I, I am not wrong. I have always been like this." Bai Zhi swallowed and looked away nervously: "Anyway, I am not explaining this just to prevent you from scolding me."

"Why should I scold you?" Amuro Toru was helpless. Is he a very fierce person?

"Although I don't agree, I don't think I have the right to say anything to you." Amuro Toru sighed softly: "It's just that, Bai Zhi, you said you were in charge of the transaction, do you really not have to pay the price?"

"The price? Me?" Bai Zhi tilted her head, holding her chin and thinking: "I can't say there is absolutely no price, but it is very small... Why do you ask?"

"I saw your memories, although I don't know how many times they were, your hair has turned mostly white." Amuro Toru said softly: "Why are you so thin even though you are not old, dead or sick?"

"Uh." Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile: "It's because of reincarnation. The principle of the crystal ball is energy replacement, and when I go back to the past, it's a kind of... uh, time reversal?"

Bai Zhi thought about it and measured the distance between her left hand and right hand.

"The time in that world is so long, and the speed of time in each world is different, but I am incompatible with all the worlds." Bai Zhi tried her best to describe it in words that Amuro Toru could understand: "My perception of time is continuous. Although I am immortal, my energy is limited."

"Well, you can understand it as the law of conservation of energy." Bai Zhi sighed softly: "In the end, I am still an ordinary person, and there is a fundamental difference between me and those gods."

"As for the price of the exchange, it's quite small, just a drop in the bucket, so don't take it to heart."

"So, do you have enough energy to leave now?" asked Toru Amuro.

"If we add that gentleman and rum." Bai Zhi blinked, "Actually, some of it is still overflowing, but I will collect more to prevent accidents."

"Baizhi, please don't collect them anymore." Amuro Toru bent down and held Baizhi's hand, looking serious and focused: "Don't let yourself pay the price again."

Baizhi's fingertips were cold. Amuro Toru could feel that when he said this, Baizhi's fingers curled slightly, and her little hands became colder and colder.

"Am I making you unhappy by doing this?" The fair little face became even paler.

Habit made her pursue souls and power, but Bai Zhi also understood from the bottom of her heart the gap between herself and ordinary people. To put it bluntly, most of the time she took advantage of human nature and added fuel to the flames, which was not what a "good person" would do.

But Toru Amuro is a good person.

Even though Baizhi tried her best to endure it, Toru Amuro still saw the fear and anxiety rising in Baizhi's eyes.

She was too insecure, and the slightest sign of trouble made her panic; she had been immersed in her own world for too long, and finally began to be cautious in contact with the outside world, and the slightest movement made her nervous.

Bai Zhi: “!”

Without a single extra word, Bai Zhi looked at the sudden hug in surprise. The warm breath with the scent of sunshine instantly enveloped her, and her disturbed heart gradually calmed down.

Surprisingly, I’m not afraid anymore.

"Azhi, even if I am unhappy, you don't have to be afraid." An Shirou hugged Bai Zhi and said in a gentle voice: "You can be timid with me around, but please never lose confidence. Be brave and say what you want to say and do what you want to do. I will never leave you."

"... idiot." Bai Zhi hugged Amuro Toru's waist, buried her face in Amuro Toru's shoulder, and spoke in a low voice.

My face is burning again. I haven't used any strength, but my cheeks are hot. Strange emotions are shaking in my heart, like peach-flavored sparkling water, which "clicks" when opened after being shaken wildly.

In an instant, sweet bubbles filled my heart, crackling and floating in my heart, making me feel numb and tingling. I haven't felt such real happiness in a long time.

"Who is the idiot? If you want to understand this world again, I hope you can understand it on your own, not for some weird reason like I'm unhappy." Amuro Toru pinched Bai Zhi's cheek: "Besides, I just mean that I don't want you to get hurt again."

"A small price to pay means it's still needed, doesn't it? Since it's enough, at least you can have a good rest." Amuro Toru said with a smile.

"How is this the same?" Bai Zhi hummed twice. Although she still looked unconvinced, her voice was much softer: "What if I need to use magic someday? If I only use it without replenishing it, what if I run out of it?"

"Then take my soul." Amuro Toru rubbed Bai Zhi's head: "Since you can finally get what you want, then if something happens to me, please accept my soul..."

Bai Zhi: "..."

"But the case is still ongoing, let's go back first." Amuro Toru said with a smile: "Since you won't help, why don't you help me?"

The tall figure of the man flickered in the alley. The sunlight squeezed into the alley, casting a layer of golden light on the tips of the man's light blond hair.

His smile was so warm, just like the light, piercing through the darkness of the alley and falling on the clasped hands of Toru Amuro and Bai Zhi.

"Zero." Bai Zhi let Amuro Toru pull her out of the alley and whispered softly, "Nothing will happen to you."

"What?" Toru Amuro didn't hear clearly and looked back in confusion.

Bai Zhi: "Nothing."

Back at the crime scene, Conan looked at Toru Amuro holding Baizhi's hand, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Toru Amuro said he is still working hard, which means that Baizhi is now under the management of the winery, and has not been completely fooled by Toru Amuro into becoming an undercover agent, right?

But looking at the current progress, Conan always feels that Amuro Toru is in too deep of a trap.

"What! You said the murderer is gone?!"

At this time, Inspector Megure was so angry after hearing what Amuro Toru said that his hat almost flew off.

"So you didn't know who the murderer was just now?" Inspector Megure widened his eyes. He felt that Amuro Toru and Bai Zhi were playing a trick on him: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"...I've explained it all, because of the taste! The taste and the feeling!" Bai Zhi grimaced in anger, puffed up her cheeks and glared at Inspector Megure.

"The deceased had a strange herbal smell after being poisoned! And there was also murderous intent, but now it's gone!"
