Chapter 160: The Knight of Light and the Knight of Darkness

The next day, Saturday. Conan went to Dr. Asasa's house alone, while I went to Shizuru, one to get the newly arrived equipment, and the other to avoid Conan. Last night's chat made Conan very angry with me, and when I mentioned the word murder, Conan suddenly exploded, yelling at me for a long time, until his voice gradually subsided after Xiaolan, but until this morning, Conan's eyes were full of anger when he looked at me. Yes, Conan had repeatedly warned me not to kill, and it was no wonder that he wasn't angry when I said that to him so lightly last night. However, I didn't pay much attention to it, first, I just said it and didn't do it, and second, the reason why I said those things to him was because I was ready to bear his next attitude, and I had expected his anger.

"Ah, it's been a long time since I've been in touch with Mr. Liufeng, how are you doing?" In my own villa, I sat in front of the computer and looked at the thin wolf's somewhat excited appearance, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"I said, don't laugh so lewdly, okay? What happened to you again that made you so happy?"

"Well...... Recently, the progress of the island has been very rapid, and it is natural that I am in a good mood. The skinny wolf said generously. "After working with the government, we have found several entry and exit points for business. So I allocated a part of the funds given to me by Mr. Liufeng for turnover business, so that with flowing water, it is naturally handy to develop. ”

"No wonder you're so happy. I understood. "That's right, speaking of the government. I've been looking at missions lately, and there may be little hope for A-class missions in the short term. You negotiate with the government, and I can come forward and serve as a bodyguard for an important person one day. Just a few more times. I told Ah Xue about this, but Ah Xue's injury has not healed yet, and I don't want her to run around. ”

"Well, that's a good idea, well, I'll mention it to them. Skinny Wolf thought for a moment.

"Well, in addition. You go and ask the government if there are any dens that oppose us that they want to dismantle, and if nothing else, I can have a chance to destroy a point in the near future. ”

"Hmm, you can't do A-class missions but you can kick the gym?" Mr. Liufeng, are you sure?"

"Maybe there's a chance. I rubbed my hair. "Ask them what they mean. If not, find a group of forces that you want to destroy, preferably not too big, you know, I'm just a kid now. ”

"Well...... If it were me, I would be hoping to wipe out the remnants of Yuichi Akano in Osaka. Since the fall of Soul Death and Yuichi Akano, their second-in-command has succeeded to the throne, although the sphere of influence is much smaller, but there are faint signs of expansion, and I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to bite us when we develop. ”

"Then find a way to sow discord between them and the government, so that Bai Dao is also involved. After I finish his lair, just let the government clean up the mess. "I'm digging out my ears and having no conscience. "Since there are no tasks, then we will help them create them. ”

"Well...... It's a bit unkind, but it's a good idea. The skinny wolf raised an eyebrow. Indeed, on the one hand, it is its own opponent, and on the other hand, it is its own partner. If the two of them fall out, the thin wolf will have a greater chance of defeating that force, of course, the premise is that the government cannot know that it is himself who provokes the trouble.

"Well, just do it. Also, I don't care about the construction of the island, but when it comes to design, I don't want to make Shizuru too tired, so you have to take care of the time. At this point, my expression became a little cold.

"Okay. I'm very sorry Mr. Liufeng, because we are planning to build the base here first, so we have been in a bit of a hurry recently, which has caused Miss Shirakawa's recent working hours to be a little overloaded. However, we have already discussed with Ms. Shirakawa about the construction policy of the base, and I will pay attention to the work in the future, so please rest assured. The thin wolf bowed to me slightly. "By the way, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you about the island. The skinny wolf remembered. "Regarding the name of the island, we haven't dealt with it yet. ”

"I'll talk about the name in a while, I can't make a decision by myself right now. ”

“...... Huh?" the thin wolf was stunned for a moment. Mr. Upper Wind can't even make up his own mind on this question? Do you still have to ask Miss Shirakawa? No. He is in his villa now, and he has already discussed it, so why wait?

"Well...... Anyway, let's drag it out for now, this kind of thing is not in a hurry. Seeing that the thin wolf was confused, I hurriedly interrupted.

"Okay, then let it go for now, Mr. Liufeng, if there is nothing to do, I will hang up first, there are still some things to deal with at the base. ”

"Well, that's it, remember to give me the information about the places you need to clean up in Osaka, and I'll take care of it myself. ”

"Okay, I wish you good luck. ”

――――The smell of orchids, the taste of lavender, the taste of home, the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians――――

After contacting the skinny wolf, I spent the rest of the time at home with Shizuru Ningxue and them. By the way, I told Shizuru about my mother. Before 5 p.m., I returned to the Maori office, which was the time that Xiaolan had set for me to be home on the weekend, and when I got home, because Xiaolan's dinner was not ready, I planned to go back to the bedroom to rest. When I opened the door, I saw Conan lying on the bed, leaning against the head of the bed and reading a book. And the name of the book is none other than Batman. Even though we had a bad fight last night, he listened to me.

I didn't pay any attention to Conan. Instead, he just lay back on his bed and began to rummage through his mobile phone, hoping to find some protection, escort and other tasks from the mercenary list, after all, money is never too much.

"You're looking for a task again?" suddenly came Conan's inquiry from the quiet room. But I didn't answer him, and continued to scroll through my phone.

"Hey, I'll ask you again!" Conan jumped out of bed and snatched my phone. I took it and looked at it, only to find that patches of green text appeared on the screen of the phone.

“...... Have you finished reading it?" I asked Conan flatly as I faced Conan's flat question, and at the same time stretched out my hand. "Give it back to me when you're done. Conan looked at me in silence for a long time, and finally put the phone in my hand. Then he lay down in bed again. The silence was restored.

"Where have you been today?" said another long silence as Conan asked me again. But just like just now, I still ignored him and quietly flipped through my phone.

"Angry?"

“......”

"Kaoru, what the hell are you trying to do!" Conan was furious when he saw that I was ignoring him again. Roared at me.

"It's not what I want to do, it's what you want to do!" I turned off my phone and sat up and looked at him indifferently. "You've asked me since yesterday what I think of the black world, so I said it. It's you who want to understand this black world. I said I could take you there if I had a chance, but it was you who got angry in the end, so what do you want to do!" I stared at Conan with a cold gaze without the slightest emotion.

"I ......," Conan said. He looked at me with a solemn face. "Kaoru. Do you really want to be the Dark Knight?"

"Looks like you've seen that movie well. I raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

“...... I spent the morning watching all the Batman movies, and then I went to buy books about them. So ......" Conan was a little embarrassed.

"Now that I've seen it, I wonder if there are any new changes in Kudo-san's worldview?"

“...... No. Conan said stubbornly.

"Oh, then you can keep watching. With that, I lay back in bed again.

Kaoru, answer my question head-on. Conan frowned at me, knowing I wasn't angry. "Do you really want to be the Dark Knight?"

"How could I have such lofty ideals. I gave Conan a disdainful look. "I just want an idiot who wants to be a knight of light to see the darkness of this world. The unknown people in the province were killed by an unknown organization. ”

"Kaoru ......" Conan's gaze softened. “...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay to apologize. I glanced at Conan with disdain, I wouldn't be angry with my brother-in-law over a trivial matter.

"Hey...... You're going to have to take advantage of it at this time. Conan's eyes narrowed. Because of my words, the atmosphere at the moment also cleared up. "Wait...... Forget it, I've found that it's always easy for me to miss the point when talking to you. Conan lifts his forehead. When am I going to be your brother-in-law?"

"Hmm, aren't you going to marry Xiaolan in the future?" I smiled slyly. "Then I'll tell her to get a new boyfriend, I heard that the school doctor at your school called Xinchu Wise is good. Hmmm......"

"Hey, why do you even know about our school doctor?" Conan shouted to me helplessly. "But seriously, Kaoru, can you tell me what you did today?"

"Can't you dispel your wariness of me?" I looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

"No!" replied Conan immediately and aloud. "I've been asking you about the black realm since yesterday, and I hope to be able to show you the bright side of the world!" Conan said sternly. "Killing people or something, missions or something, I don't want you to touch those things anymore, if you can. I hope you're still the same Kaoru Mori!"

“...... Cut. I spat out a syllable between my teeth and shook my head disdainfully. "Obviously I don't have any ability, but I can always say a bunch of beautiful things, and the detective's ability seems to be not only in the brain, but also in the mouth. "Sit up. I looked at Conan again. "Today I went to my intelligence boss's place and asked about something. ”

"What's the matter?" Conan tensed.

"There are a few black strongholds in Osaka, and I asked my intelligence boss to get me as much information as possible about those bases. ”

"What do you want that for?"

"Didn't I say that yesterday?" I said, looking at Conan flatly. "If I have the opportunity, I will take you to learn about the black realm, and only after getting those materials can I find a relatively safe base to take you to. Otherwise, if you're not careful, what will you do if you give your life there? How can you let me explain to Sister Yukiko?"

"But why did you just watch the mission?"

"Money! How can I buy information from the boss if I don't have money, and I have already agreed with you not to kill people, so I can only pick some protection tasks. ”

"This, that'......" Conan smiled apologetically at me. "So, what did you say yesterday that you were going to kill someone?"

"That's why I let you watch Batman. ”

"Huh?!" Conan's pupils shrank suddenly. Thinking back to seeing the plot of the movie at Dr. Asasa's house today, Conan seemed to understand my intentions. "Could it be that from the beginning of my anger at you last night to the present, everything I have done is in your control?"

"Not really. I shrugged. "But from the moment you said you wanted to see the Black World, I knew it was destined to be where it was. ”

"How do you know?"

"If I didn't even have this analytical and computing power, I would have died a few years ago. ”

"A few years ago?"

"It was an assassination mission, and in the United States, if I hadn't calculated it accurately, I might have died in it. ”

"Can you tell me about it?"

"I'm the one who kills, not the one who solves the case, there's nothing to say. "I spread my hands. "If you have that time to care about me before, you still have to take care of yourself now, and it will be ...... in a few days"

"Kaoru-chan, Conan, it's time to eat. Halfway through my words, Xiaolan's gentle voice came into our ears.

"Let's go eat first. The rest will come later. ”

“...... All right. (To be continued.) )
