【Quick New】In the Name of Love · In the Name of Love- XXIV

All the changes happened between lightning and flint.

Kudo Shinichi seized the time gap before the man had time to react, clenched his back teeth, and exerted force on the arm holding the iron chain. The sore feeling suddenly rushed like a tsunami, but he couldn't care about it anymore, the whole The man jumped up in the air, kicked towards the man, and shouted at the same time: "Kidd——!"

Kaito Kidd, or Kaito Kuroba, had already thrown three smoke bombs towards the man at the same time as Kudo's words fell. The foot exploded, and the smoke spread rapidly.In the smoke, the white figure flashed and disappeared suddenly, making the man unpredictable, so he could only keep moving his position.The other party frowned, cursed in a low voice, took out a gun from his waist, and stared at the surroundings vigilantly, a little rustling could make him shoot mercilessly at that position, and the empty bullet casings fell into the air. There was a crisp and cold sound when it hit the ground.

Kuroba Kaito and Kudo Shinichi both expected that the other party would carry a gun, and they didn't feel too frightened by it, but Kuroba Kaito also lost the chance to subdue the other party because of this—objectively speaking, he is now unarmed, And Kudou's injury... If this continues, only they will lose in the end, not to mention whether this man has called foreign aid.

Before the smoke dissipated, Kuroba accurately sneaked to Kudo's position, only to find that the other party had lost consciousness, hanging on the iron chain with no strength, his breathing was deep and shallow, and his whole body was dripping wet , There are still blood stains on the face, and a part of the dark clothes has been stained with a darker color.Heiyu panicked immediately, and couldn't even care that the man would hear her voice, so she couldn't hide her anxiety and whispered: "Xinyi!"

The smoke had cleared, and the positions of the three people gradually became clear.The man stood three meters away from Kuroba Kaito and Kudo Shinichi, and Kuroba Kaito had already rescued Kudo Shinichi from the chain, carefully placed him on the ground, and sat against the wall .

"Your little lover is quite powerful, Phantom Thief Kidd." The man sneered, unexpectedly put away his gun, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at them quite leisurely.

Hei Yu gritted his teeth and said: "The person you are looking for is me, what is it to involve irrelevant people?"

"But didn't this attract you? You are not easy to find." The man shrugged. "Any way to achieve the goal is a good way, I don't care what happens in the middle."

Hearing this, Hei Yu became even more angry.He clenched his fist tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palm, and growled in a low voice: "If something happens to him—"

"—You should worry about yourself first."

As soon as the words fell, the two broke through the window, and the glass fell to the ground in pieces as if vulnerable to a single blow.With guns in their hands, they aimed their sights firmly at Kaitou Kidd.

The muscles in the corners of Kuroba Kuaito's eyes twitched, and he clenched his magic gun tightly.

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi, who was supposed to be unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, supported the ground with his arm that was still able to move, and kicked towards the person standing closest with his sweeping leg, his muscles The feeling of tearing exploded in his mind.

——It’s not the time to worry about this, Kudo Shinichi!

Kaito Kuroba immediately seized this opportunity, and shot his magic gun at the other two. The playing cards cut through the air like the sharpest swords and flew straight towards the knees of the two. .The man turned pale with fright, took out his gun from his waist, and quickly fired in the direction of Kaito Kuroba, but Kaito Kuroba had already rushed towards another man with a gun, with an uppercut and a kick He beat the opponent directly to the ground and snatched the opponent's gun.At the same time, Kudo Shinichi has also completed a complete set of raids and snatching weapons that can be regarded as smooth and smooth, and the situation of the scene is suddenly turned upside down.

Kudo Shinichi was leaning against the wall, and lying at his feet was the man who was accidentally released by Kudo due to a sudden sneak attack. He aimed his gun at the man, cold sweat kept slipping from his forehead, and the stain mixed with blood was smudged. Come, his face was pale, he was panting heavily, but his eyes were as sharp as a sword.Kaito Kuroba stepped on the body of another man who was placed, and pointed his gun at the man.

The man narrowed his eyes and licked the corner of his lips.

"Give up." Hei Yu said, "Answer me a few questions, and I'll let you go."

Kudo stood there without saying a word, with his lips pursed into a straight line, holding his gun with a stern expression.

The man laughed at this moment: "Oh, have you started negotiating, Kidd?"

Black Feather shrugged: "Always try, maybe you let go?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of your tricks? It's rumored in the industry that Kaito Kidd never kills." The man changed his stance in a leisurely manner and looked at him provocatively.

Black Feather paused, and suddenly chuckled.But his smile didn't reach his eyes at all, and his voice was almost cold and full of murderous intent: "But you moved Kudo Shinichi."

"... Kidd." Kudo frowned, hearing what Kuroba meant.

Kuroba Kaito didn't look at him, staring at the man closely.

The man's gaze met his, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

……Wait a moment.

Damn it, it really smells like gunpowder!

Kudo Shinichi didn't care about that much anymore, he just dropped the gun, and shouted in desperation: "Kidd, jump out of the window!"

At the same time, the man laughed and pressed the button in his pocket.

The soaring flames seemed to be able to turn the night into day, and the sound of gunpowder explosion exploded in my ears.The scarlet tongue of fire licked the pitch-black sky, as if trying to swallow the entire night.Amidst the crackling explosions, Kaito Kuroba jumped out of the window on the second floor with the seriously injured Kudo Shinichi in his arms. The hot air seemed to be directly roasting their skins.Another wave of heat hit, pushing the two free-falling people to the ground again.Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito lost consciousness at the same time in the short but strong impact—or, Kudo Shinichi had already entered the dormant mode in advance, and the overdraft of the body forced his spirit to succumb to the needs of the body Among them, fell into a coma.Kuroba Kaito hugged Kudo Shinichi tightly when it hit, letting his back touch the rough ground first.

dark.

The darkness that can't see five fingers.

Then the earth shook and red became the color of the world again.

Kaito Kuroba regained consciousness before the second wave of explosions came, and then turned over and protected Kudo Shinichi under his body to prevent any falling objects from falling.

The sound of police sirens came from a distance, faintly, and then gradually became clear.Kaito Kuroba wanted to slip away when he heard the voice, and immediately realized the situation.He took off his cloak, covered Kudou's body, and hugged him carefully.The other party was also frowning in a coma, and fragility and pain were inadvertently revealed from between his brows and eyes, making Hei Yu wish that he was the one who suffered the injury.

...Of course, the most urgent thing now is to leave here first, and then return to the hotel where they stayed, and take care of the big detective's wounds.

He looked at Kudo Shinichi, ignoring the burning pain coming from his back, gritted his teeth and hugged Kudo and left from the dark alley.

When Kudo Shinichi woke up, his surroundings were no longer dark, but surrounded by a haze of yellow, with a soft mattress under his body.All the senses are gradually returning from a trip in a distant country, and layers of emotions are pouring in. It seems that all the orchestras in the world are tuning together in my mind, and the buzzing sound is lingering in my ears.All the pain went back again, crushing his nerves mercilessly - he felt that he was almost unable to move.He swallowed, his throat terribly dry.

Kaito Kuroba had already changed back into his own clothes, and sat on the side of his bed worriedly, his whole body seemed lifeless, and the grayness shrouded him.When Kudo Shinichi opened his eyes, Kuroba was lit up again, he couldn't wait to hold his hand, and was about to say something, and then realized that as smart as Kudo Shinichi probably already knew his double Identity, let go of his hand suddenly, lowered his eyes, and bit his lower lip unconsciously.

After a while, he opened his mouth and uttered a syllable: "You..." He paused for a moment, and countless thoughts rushed through his mind, but Kaito Kidd's eloquence and kind words had already left him at this moment.In the end, he only managed to say one sentence, "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Kudo Shinichi then turned his gaze to him.

Kuroba Kaito looked at him nervously, afraid that the next sentence would be his death sentence.

He had thought of many images, but none were as difficult as this silence.

"...It's not good." Kudo's voice was hoarse and deep, yet distant and polite.He stared fixedly at Kaito Kuroba, his eyes were deep and bottomless.He repeated, with obvious distress in his tone, "Are you feeling better?"

Kuroba blinked, and said bitterly: "I'm fine——"

"How could it be all right? Do you think you are indestructible when you break into such a place alone?" Kudo suddenly interrupted him, leaning over to hold Kuroba's shoulder regardless of his injury.Hei Yu couldn't help but grunted in pain, then bit her lower lip tightly.Kudo only felt the piercing pain, and thousands of kinds of Kuroba Kaito passed through his mind. He lived a life of licking blood on the tip of his knife when he didn't know it. Maybe something happened when he didn't know it, so don't live it. She didn't want to look at him again, and let go of her hand.

Kudo said wearily, "Kaito, this is boring."

Hei Yu seemed to be punched hard by an invisible person, and his internal organs were all pulled together in pain.He forced a smile, but didn't know what to say, and looked at Kudo helplessly.

After Kudo Shinichi experienced disbelief, sudden realization, anger, sadness, betrayal, countless fears and worries, and a narrow escape that exhausted his physical strength, he no longer had the energy to think carefully That's it.An unexpected oceanic calm enveloped him.He said calmly, "The mysterious organization won't find you for a while, so you don't have to worry about that."

"...Huh?" Kuroba raised his head and met Kudo's gaze.There is only peace in his blue eyes—and Hei Yu desperately wants to find a trace of emotion in those blue eyes as deep as the sea, nostalgia, love, even sadness, betrayal, anything is fine.But he got nothing.Kudo didn't seem to notice the hurt expression on his face, and then said: "That person came alone, I guess he didn't tell his boss. I want to get information first———" He was about to do it, but unexpectedly Pulling to the wound, he involuntarily sucked in a breath.Hei Yu subconsciously went to support him, and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Ah, that's it." Hei Yu replied absent-mindedly.

Kudo also realized that the other party was not paying attention to what he said.So once again, the two fell into silence.

After a long time, Kuroba whispered, "I'm sorry."

Kudo froze all over, but quickly relaxed again.He breathed out silently, and then said softly: "You know, I liked you once, more than fate."

Hei Yu suddenly raised his head, and looked at Kudo in disbelief.Kudo avoided his gaze.

Kuroba Kaito knew at that moment what he once had and what he had completely lost.

This is a huge and silent pursuit and challenge, this is a sweet and painful two-way secret love, they are even willing to give up everything they have for each other, abandon all the established facts, and make a promise for each other in the unknown future. gamble.

...It's just that these are all in the past tense.

Kuroba Kaito wanted to explain, wanted to keep him, and wanted to beg him to give him another chance.He even felt angry, angry that Kudo Shinichi didn't tell him, didn't tell Kuroba Kaito - if he had said earlier, earlier, would things have been different?He felt a little helpless because Kudo Shinichi was too clever.He didn't even know there was an explanation for it - as smart as Kudo Shinichi would not know why he did it.

Even knowing this, Kuroba said: "I didn't...deliberately deceive you. I just wanted to protect you."

Kudo bent his mouth: "Then you can understand, I know how you feel when you often risk your life."

Black Feather was speechless.

He had to admit, he was scared.Concealing one's identity has become a habit, a disguise.He is afraid that after Kudo Shinichi knows his other identity, things will go in a direction beyond his control-he is afraid that he will lose Kudo Shinichi.He had so many opportunities to confess to him, until he knew that the lie had become a betrayal.

He just never knew that Kudo Shinichi liked him like this.

"I'll go get a glass of water."

Black Feather said abruptly.

He needs some fresh oxygen.

Just as he was about to stand up, the injured part of his back rubbed against the fabric, and the tingling sensation rushed up his spine like a spark, and exploded in his brain with a bang.Kudo Shinichi unexpectedly grabbed his wrist at this moment.

"Don't move, I'll help you deal with it."

There were various trauma medicines and tools scattered beside the bed, Kudo gritted his teeth and picked them up, motioned Kuroba to turn around, and began to help him deal with it.

"...Thank you." Kuroba could only sit down obediently, and said with his back to Kudo.

Kudo didn't answer, and concentrated on helping him with the medicine.The cold feeling spread across his back, relieving the tingling sensation. Even some ingredients in the medicine brought a tingling and numb feeling, but it was better than the burning pain.

"I will help you eradicate the organization." Kudo said when he was about to finish taking the medicine. "It's impossible for me to watch you go on this road of no return alone."

Kuroba blinked slowly.

"Afterwards—I mean, if there is any later," Kudo paused for a while, and then said nonchalantly while rubbing the medicine, "Let's not meet again."
