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

But what comes next is the headache part.

The three of them refused to give in at all, and the smell of gunpowder spread in the air.Akai Shuichi said indifferently: "No."

"Bah, uncle, you have no way to decide this, you have to bring me in." Hei Yu quickly said angrily, "You know what a fart."

"What are you going to do, aren't you afraid of death?" Kudo Shinichi was also very angry, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, "You usually make small troubles, can this kind of thing be a joke?"

Hei Yu laughed back in anger, folded his arms around his chest, and said with a sneer: "It's really good that the FBI taught you hand in hand, Detective Kudo. Why, are you guys going two-on-one now? Ha, I even doubt you— —”

"Kuroba." Kudo Kuro lowered his face and said word by word, "Pay attention to what you are talking about."

Hei Yu also knew that he was wrong, seeing Kudou's injured eyes felt pain in his heart, he immediately avoided his sight, and finally said, "...Sorry. That's not what I meant."

Kudo sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.Of course he knew that Kuroba didn't mean that.Ever since Kuroba saw the exchange between himself and Mr. Akai, he stared at Shuichi Akai as if he could jump up and fight with him immediately, and Kudo understood it all at once.Emotionally he is jealous.

But his saying that still made Kudo uncomfortable.Kudo felt helpless in his heart, wanted to be angry and felt funny at the same time, thought for a while, softened his voice, and said, "It's not an option to fight like this." He pursed his lips, and then said, "Kuroba, I'm going with Akai-san It is the most appropriate, we are more familiar with each other's behavior style, plus I know the necessary information, there must be no problem in adapting to the situation. And, Kuroba, you are better at intruding into the system—”

"No, Kuroba and I will go, kid, you can command from a distance." Akai Shuichi interrupted Kudo Shinichi, and said flatly.

Both Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito widened their eyes in surprise.

Akai continued: "Kuroba is right. He knows more and handles it more appropriately. As you said, he is better at intruding into the system. The machine that stores internal information must not be connected to the Internet." Akai Shuichi paused for a while , "And you are better at commanding operations. You know it yourself."

"Mr. Akai—"

"Don't worry." He said in a low voice, with a soothing breath in his magnetic voice, "It's just a sneak in."

Kudo Shinichi clenched his fist, then let it go.

He repeated softly: "Just sneaking in."

Akai frowned and patted his head.

Kuroba Kaito heaved a sigh of relief, and gave Akai Shuichi a thankful glance.Akai Hideichi turned his face away indifferently, pretending he didn't see anything.He didn't make such a decision for Kuroba Kaito, he just helped out.

Black Feather gritted his teeth angrily.

They set off the next morning while it was still dark.

Logically speaking, the sunrise time in summer should be around five o'clock, and it was past six o'clock when they were about to go out, but the sky was still dark, and there was a dull smell in the air.

When Kudo Shinichi stood at the door and sent the two of them away, he always felt a sense of anxiety in his heart.He felt scared for no reason, such gloomy weather always made him feel out of breath.

He hesitated to say something, but in the end he handed the two small devices to the two people silently, and said, "Communicator, don't break the connection."

The two put on the equipment, tested it, and everything was fine.Kaito Kuroba hesitated for a moment, took out a string of bracelets from his pocket, stuffed them into Kudo Shinichi's hands, and lowered his eyes and said, "Detective, I will leave this to you for safekeeping."

Kudo blinked and spread his palms.The bracelet lying in the palm of the hand is plain and simple, only a pipe is floating in the hanging crystal, as if the smoke is still floating.

Kudo naturally knew what it was and looked up at him.Hei Yu shrugged indifferently, and said with a smile on his face, "It's all yours anyway."

Kudo's heart trembled, because of this sentence, he subconsciously called out: "Black Feather." He didn't know why he said this sentence, as if something was about to happen, and he was trying to persuade the other party to stay.

Hei Yu showed his row of small white teeth, smiled heartily, reached out to poke the bracelet, and said: "Detective, don't lose it, this is my treasure."

Kudo didn't know how to respond.The confession came suddenly, he couldn't turn his head for a while, and looked at Heiyu in a daze.He knew that he also had the same feelings towards Hei Yu, but this feeling, this kind of promise was too serious, so that he didn't know how to speak, so he could only choose to remain silent.

Hei Yu put away her smile and sighed. She already expected that the other party would not respond - but no response is also a response, isn't it?He took a step towards Kudo, stretched out his arms and hugged the young man, and put his lips in his ear and said, "Please wait for me."

Kudo's ears were itchy, as if it was going to pierce his heart.He froze for a second, then closed his eyes resignedly for a moment, and hugged him back.

He answered very simply: "Okay." Then he couldn't help but add in a commanding tone, "Don't make me wait too long."

Heiyu really laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He rubbed his neck obediently, and pretended to be serious and said: "Of order, Mr. Commander."

Well, then wait for him to come back.

Kudo thought.

When he came back, he asked him if he would like to start over.

The cold metal tunnel was empty.Kuroba Kaito and Akai Shuichi disguised themselves as the man who was killed in the bombing and his men, walking in the open road.The footsteps echoed coldly.

They walked blankly, and Kudo Shinichi's voice came from the earphones.

"...Turn right. Well, about 100 meters away, there is a checkpoint. Just turn left at the second fork."

Kudo Shinichi sat in front of the computer, tapped his fingers on the keyboard, and relied on Dr. Ali's black technology to forcibly scan the geological structure under the mountain shrine, and obtained more detailed information through the synchronization of the scanners installed on Kuroba and Akai. The precise structure calmly directs their actions in the labyrinth-like underground.

He still has a map from a long time ago in his hand, which looks like a blueprint left over from the war in the last century, which is similar to the underground structure of Yisumi County.Kudo made a cross-comparison, and launched this base as a modified version of the previous wartime base. The basic model has not changed, and it is easier to command.

"The reference room is on the third floor. You are now on the first floor." Kudo stared at the screen, "Someone is approaching."

Akai and Kuroba didn't change their expressions, and as soon as they turned a corner, they bumped into a gray-haired old man running in a hurry.The old man apologized quickly, and then left in a hurry.Akai frowned slightly and gestured: This is the missing physicist.

With more and more doubts in his heart, Hei Yu nodded slightly.

"Turn left and enter the storage room." Kudo said suddenly, "There are patrolling soldiers."

The two immediately dodged into the storage room.After a while, the sound of footsteps coming from far to near and then further away was indeed heard.Kuroba's heart was jumping in his throat, Akai seemed to notice it, and patted him on the shoulder.

Black Feather exhaled soundlessly, his fingers fluttered, and the two silver suction cups were silently attached to the smooth metal surface.

Arriving at the third floor without any risk, Kudo's tone suddenly became tense.

"...It cannot be avoided." Kudo said, his hands and feet were sweating. "It's the only way."

Kuroba and Akai looked at each other, and Kuroba snorted softly, and walked over first.Akai's temple was aching, so he had no choice but to walk behind him.

Expected and unexpected, it is the simplest countersign.

Black Feather's heart tightened, and his mind was running fast, searching for all possible useful information.He was silent for a few seconds—Akai's whole body was already tense, ready to attack at any moment, dark tides were surging in his long and narrow eyes.At this time, Kuroba spoke calmly, said something expressionlessly, and pretended to stand there impatiently waiting.

It took a few seconds -- more like hours -- before the two with the guns nodded and turned to let them pass.

On the surface, Hei Yu seemed to be fine, but in fact he was almost scared to death, afraid that he would confess if he was not careful, and his feet were a little weak.Seeing this, Akai helped him calmly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Hei Yu rolled his eyes, slapped his hand off, and said angrily, "It's not for you."

Hearing this, Akai suppressed the corners of his mouth that could not help but turn up, and did not answer.

Although Kudo was not at the scene, he was still in a cold sweat, fearing that something might go wrong.Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. After passing this level, the next step will be much easier.They walked through the base with ease under the command of Kudo, and finally came to the heavily guarded information processing center.

"...No way." Hei Yu pretended to have a headache. "It's so strict."

This time it was Kudo's turn to roll his eyes, and the voice came from the receiver: "Please, isn't this what you are good at, Kidd."

Hei Yu whimpered for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he lowered his head in frustration: "Okay, okay, it's really boring..."

Kudo seriously reprimanded: "Kuroba, this is not the time to be joking."

"I was wrong, Commander." He straightened his face, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be melted away.Hei Yu's small movements never stopped, once again taking advantage of people's inattention, he threw down the same small silver plates as before, making them stick to the wall inconspicuously.

Kuroba managed to sneak in.

——It can even be said that it was easy to mix in.

He sat in front of the computer, pretending to be doing things seriously, opened the database, inserted the USB flash drive he was carrying, and clicked download.

While watching the progress bar slowly move forward, he simply read it out of boredom.Looking at it, the whole person's face changed, he sat up straight unconsciously, and scanned ten lines at a glance.

On the faint screen, there are lines of cold-blooded and daring plans. Even Kaito Kuroba, who is just browsing, feels chills on his back and his whole body.

It turns out that this is Pandora, the unopenable box.

Absolutely, absolutely not open.

He gritted his teeth, wishing he could speed up the download time now, and then take this information out immediately.This is so important.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door, followed by a series of footsteps.Kudo's anxious voice came from the receiver: "Kuroba, don't worry about the data, as much as you have, let's go first. Someone is here."

Kuroba stared closely at the progress bar which was already at 70.00%.He calmly said: "70.00% seven, Commander. This information is very important."

"That's not as important as your life!" Kudo almost slapped the table and got up, wishing to rush over and beat this ignorant idiot monster thief, and asked him if he was sober, "There will be another time."

Kuroba shook his head, forgetting that Kudo couldn't see.He looked at the shocking facts and replied in a low voice: "There will be no next time."

"what are you saying--"

Before he could finish speaking, Hei Yu pressed the communication function off.

Those people had already entered the reference room, and all of them stood up, looking nervously at the group of armed men who had arrived suddenly.Although they work for this organization, they have never come into contact with these people, and they can't express their anger for a while.However, Hei Yu couldn't care about these anymore—they must have touched the alarm system by inserting the USB flash drive, then they must have locked themselves already.He glanced at the progress bar, 90.00% two.

damn it.

The seat he had chosen was very inside, but that wouldn't last long.He closed his eyes and made a bold decision in an instant.Maybe this is fate, he thought.

A few seconds later, a white figure arrogantly stepped onto the table, wearing a gorgeous tall hat and shining monocle, and the cloak was hanging behind him.

He bent over, pressed the brim of his hat, and said gracefully to the stunned crowd, "Long time no see."

"What is that guy doing?" Kudo was almost dying of anxiety, and asked Akai Shuichi, "Aren't you with him?"

"He's inside, and I can't contact him." Akai Shuichi's voice was filled with rare anxiety and anger, "This little brat who made his own way."

"Mr. Akai." Kudo Shinichi panicked for the first time, the feeling of helplessness made him feel that he was losing his focus, "Please."

Akai was silent for a while, anxiously wanting to smoke.He let out a breath and said in a low voice, "Don't think too much, trust us." He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and turned off the communication function.

Kudo sat there in a daze, he could only watch the dots representing Kuroba and Akai flicker with faint light, but he couldn't hear any news from there.The world suddenly fell silent, so silent that it was frightening.

He can't do anything...?

Panic prevailed.

No.

No no, there must be something he can do.

90.00% VIII.

99.

one hundred.

He saw the right moment and dropped a smoke bomb amidst the heavy siege. Taking advantage of the smoke, he changed into the same outfit as others, pulled out the USB flash drive and stuffed it into his pocket.

What Kudo Shinichi said is right, places with a lot of people are his home field.He curled his mouth confidently and mingled with the technicians before the smoke cleared.

The reference room has been sealed off, and there are only armed personnel and technical personnel inside.He had to figure out a way to get them to open the damn door.It's too ostentatious to swipe the card to go out, and it's not easy to act in full view... Just when he was at a loss, the communicator unexpectedly rang again.

"——No next time." Kudo Shinichi's angry and slightly trembling voice came out of the receiver, making Kuroba stunned in place, and the complicated but reassuring feeling washed over him the whole body. "There will be no next time, Kuroba Kaito."

"New One..."

Kudo interrupted him: "Mr. Akai, please."

"Yeah." The man's voice also came out.Kuroba Kaito was at a loss, but he soon knew what they were going to do—

Suddenly, there was a rapid and piercing gunshot outside the door, followed by screams and confusion.

"...You guys are crazy." Kaito Kuroba said in disbelief.

Akai Hideichi snorted coldly, did not answer, but did not stop the movements of his hands at all. The beautiful shooting and dodging made the guards overwhelmed, so they had to seek support.

The door opened.The people who besieged Kaito Kidd sent a team out to deal with emergencies, and the other team was still searching for all the technicians, but they didn't find anyone in the team that went out to fish in troubled waters.

"It's an effective method, isn't it?" Akai Shuichi received the message from Kudo Shinichi confirming that Kaito Kuroba had come out, squinted his eyes, put away his own gun in satisfaction, knocked down several people, and fought with Kuroba After Yu Kaito successfully reunited, he began to obey Kudo Shinichi's command and started running from another completely different road.

"Are we running towards the beach?" Kaito Kuroba had a good sense of direction, and he could correctly perceive the direction in the intricate underground maze.

"There is another exit there. I have contacted Mr. Akai's colleagues and are waiting outside." Kudo Shinichi said quickly, "Are you all okay?"

"A little scratch, it doesn't matter."

The two said at the same time.

Kudo breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time directed them to avoid the people who were chasing and intercepting them.

"The door on the left, go upstairs."

Two people flashed through the door, and suddenly the signal became weaker.

Kudo Shinichi frowned, alarm bells ringing in his heart.He tried to call a few times, but there were only intermittent voices on the other side.He tapped on the keyboard quickly, constantly adjusting the signal, and finally all ended without a problem.

……what happened?

He clenched his fists and hammered the table angrily, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

If it's an ambush...

Will not.

Kudo Shinichi took a deep breath.

No, it's just a bad signal.

The communicators of Kaito Kuroba and Shuichi Akai fell silent when they entered the stairwell.

The two exchanged a look, gestured to each other, and walked lightly, step by step against the base of the wall.At the door on the first floor, they nodded and pushed the door open.

……no one?

Kuroba Kaito called softly: "Shinichi?"

no respond.

Just when he and Akai realized that something was wrong and were about to retreat, a bullet pierced the air with a destructive force, making a frightening scream, and went straight to Kuroba Kaito's body direction to fly.It was too late for Akai Shuichi to react, he only had time to push Kuroba Kaito away violently, trying to make him avoid this deadly bullet track.

But it was too late.

They could only watch helplessly as this small piece of metal sank into Kuroba Kaito's abdomen as if entering no one's land, and only made a slight sound.

Hei Yu's eyes widened, his brain went blank for a moment, and the pain surged up crazily, causing him to groan, take a step back, and tightly pressed his bleeding abdomen.All the muscles in his body were trembling, as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in his head, his vision began to blur.His entire face contorted, and he gritted his teeth tightly to keep from screaming.

"Akai Shuichi." He squeezed out the name.

Akai Shuichi had already helped him out, tore off the fabric of his clothes, quickly tore them into strips and wrapped them around his hands, and shouted: "Don't talk."

"Don't." Kuroba pressed Akai Shuichi's hand, took out the USB flash drive from his pocket, stuffed it into the man's hand, and said calmly, "Escape, give it to Shinichi."

"You go out with me." Akai Shuichi frowned tightly, "This is just a minor injury, you won't die here."

Hei Yu showed a smile: "There is always someone to sacrifice. Listen, someone is coming."

Akai Hideichi was so angry that he seemed to be able to curse immediately, and Kuroba said again: "Be rational, FBI. I don't want to sacrifice in vain."

"...What are you going to do?" Akai Hideichi said.Hei Yu leaned against the wall, slightly raised her head, her lips were terribly pale, but her eyes were beating with light.He raised a red button in his hand who didn't know when, and then said softly, "Boom."

Akai's pupils shrank instantly.

"you……"

"Just in case." He said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that. Can you do it alone?" He said, looking at Akai steadily.

Akai Hideo gritted his teeth, unable to say a word.Of course he can go out alone. This base is originally a base where scientific research is greater than combat power, and there are not many troops that can really be mobilized.It's just that this will completely put Kuroba Kaito to death.

They were already surrounded in the middle, but the two of them turned a deaf ear and didn't care at all.The sound of the bullet being loaded was clear and crisp. Standing at the front was a gentle man wearing glasses who said with a smile, "Hi."

Akai Hideo looked up at him, her thin lips pursed tightly.Kuroba Kaito smiled unexpectedly: "Yo, good afternoon."

"Please, sir, return the information to us." The man said politely, like a civilized contest between two people in the business field.Except for the dark crowd.

Kuroba Kaito groaned, and slowly took out an identical USB flash drive from his pocket, and played with it in his hand: "This?"

The man's eyes flickered for a moment, then he nodded.

"It's not impossible to give it to you, anyway, I'll explain it here." Kuroba Kaito said relaxedly, "But I have a request."

The man thought for a while, and then nodded his head: "You say, it's not too much, I can promise you."

"Did you block the signal?" Kaito Kuroba uttered the question in a declarative tone.The man shrugged his shoulders: "When you realize that you must have someone remotely, of course you have to take some measures."

Kaito Kuroba smiled and said, "That's my lover."

"...Oh." The man suddenly nodded, then waved his hand, and whispered to his subordinates, "It can be closed."

Akai Hideichi stood on the side, folded his hands around his chest and closed his eyes to rest his mind. After a while, Kudo's surprised voice came from the earphone: "Kuroba? Mr. Akai?"

"Hi." Kuroba's tone softened immediately.

"Little devil." Akai said in a nonchalant manner, but felt uncomfortable and panicked.

"Your sensor has failed, do you still remember how to walk?" Kudo said hurriedly, "I always feel that something is wrong—"

"Shinichi." Kuroba interrupted him, his throat felt dry for a while.He paused before saying, "Take care of yourself."

Kudo was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he understood what happened, the thunder exploded in his mind.The worst has happened.He roared angrily and panicked, "Damn it!"

"The mission seems to have failed." Heiyu sighed calmly, regardless of his disregard, "You..."

"Shut up." Kudo's whole body trembled slightly, his back teeth clenched tightly, "You have to come back alive."

Kuroba closed his eyes.

"New One."

"Come back alive." Kudo's voice was choked with sobs, "Kaito Kuroba, please. Your bracelet is really ugly."

Kuroba smiled dotingly, as if Kudo was standing in front of him.He wanted to hug that young man again, but he couldn't do it anymore.

Akai Shuichi had already opened his eyes, and had silently nodded to Kuroba before, and then there was noise and noise and confusion and shouting and more and more and more gunshots.

The scene was chaotic, but Kuroba became more and more calm amidst Kudo's voice, and the surroundings no longer had anything to do with him.

The bullet slashed through his arm, and blood overflowed, but he kept smiling softly.

"...I'm sorry, and I love you, Kudo Shinichi. Live well." Kuroba Kaito said softly, sure that Kudo Shinichi could hear.

Sure enough, he thought, he had lost faith.

He once had a wonderful family, he once had a soul mate who loved him and loved him, but all of this was easily destroyed by this organization.So now it's time for his revenge.

I'm sorry, I couldn't spend my whole life by your side, I couldn't complete the agreement, I couldn't use the rest of my time to prove to you that I am a person worthy of your trust.

And I love you, Kudo Shinichi.

I love you.

"Kuroba Kaito!" Kudo Shinichi's voice changed a bit, he stood up suddenly, and called out in a panic, as if this could change the other party's mind, "You said you were going to come back—"

Communication was forcibly terminated.

Kaito Kuroba tore off the small and imperceptible communicator, raised his foot and crushed it vigorously, and raised a flamboyant smile that belonged to Kaito Kidd and Kaito Kuroba, holding that decision The button of life and death does not have gorgeous costumes or a grand stage, but it says briskly and proudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's showtime!"

Kudo stared blankly at the small dot representing Kaito Kuroba, clenched his fist tightly, his brain buzzing.He couldn't care about anything anymore, he only hoped for a miracle to happen, and Kaito Kuroba was not as desperate as he imagined.

His flame of hope didn't last long before it was extinguished by despair.The dots of light flickered after half a minute, then disappeared blandly.It is not at all like Kaitou Kidd's style, and he disappeared without arrogance at all.Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden pain in his wrist, a pain like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, which made him gasp in pain.He lowered his eyelids subconsciously, and raised his hand to stare at the lifelike white dove on his wrist, which slowly lost its brilliance, faded back to the color of its skin, and lay lifeless on the inside of his wrist.

He stood there quietly, suddenly the whole world became so empty, so empty that it could swallow him in one bite.The eyes that were always shining with light gradually and irresistibly dimmed as the dots disappeared and the color faded to ashes.

Blank.

Nothing else.

He didn't know how long it took—was it a century—before he covered his face trembling, there was nowhere to hide his fragility and sadness.

pain.

It was so painful that even the beating of the heart was so difficult.

"...Hey, before I even got to tell you, I love you too, Kaito Kuroba. I love you. I'm sorry."

He murmured, trying to speak with ease, but his voice was choked with uncontrollable sobs.He kept repeating the last two sentences, and his knees softened as if he couldn't bear gravity, causing him to fall on the chair.

Kudo Shinichi lowered his head, a few strands of hair fell in front of his eyes, covering his empty blue eyes.

How... how could this happen?

How did that happen?

Why don't you even give them a chance to start over?

His eyes were sore and astringent, and the overwhelming emptiness and blankness overwhelmed him in an instant, but he couldn't even shed a single tear, he could only stare wide-eyed at the black feather he was holding tightly in his hand. The bracelet engraved with a pipe that he stuffed into his hand before he said goodbye, and the imprint of the lost soul on his own wrist.

It's all... all lies, right?

How could the magician under the moonlight—how could he leave the stage so easily?

He was breathing heavily, something was strangling half of his throat, so uncomfortable that even his limbs were in pain.

you promised.

You obviously promised.

So here's you having a silly, ill-timed joke.But you misremembered the date, today is not a goddamn April Fool's Day.It's really not funny at all.

... Please, I admit defeat, I admit defeat, okay, I can't solve this magic trick, so you can come out and laugh at me.This time you win, you hear me?You just tell me it's all a lie.

Liars, liars, all liars——

There was a bang, and a thunderbolt seemed to explode on the ground, making Kudo tremble violently, like the death-defying explosion far away in Mount Yisumi, which finally reached Tokyo.

And the rain finally fell down overwhelmed.
