Chapter 345: An Unexpected Enemy

"Ling. . . Hurt?" I can't believe my ears. I know Ling's ability very well, to tell you the truth, there will be no more than fifty people who can hurt him in this world, and no more than ten people who can kill her. Of course, the damage of a large war is not excluded. But now Ling's sudden injury surprised me. Could it be that the organization wants to get rid of her because of me? No, if that's the case, Ling definitely wouldn't be so simple as getting hurt.

"Yes. Ling was discovered on a sneak mission to Europe some time ago, after which she was plotted and injured by the enemy, but fortunately she escaped the pursuit of the killers sent by the enemy forces and escaped back to the safe house. He was soon sent to the headquarters in Europe for treatment, and he is being treated there after the danger period. I'll probably be back next month and continue to recuperate here. ”

"Did she tell you where the base is?"

"Nope. Mary shook her head. "Because Sister Belmode once told Ling herself that she was not allowed to divulge the location of the new base. Especially for me and Taiyi. ”

"Hmm, when did this happen?" I frowned.

"Not long after Ling came back, that is, after Brother Bing met Ling for the first time. Mary also sniffed out the meaning. "Brother Bing, are we... ”

"No, it shouldn't be fully exposed. I closed my eyes and thought about it. "It's probably a duel with Ling, and Belmode saw some clues. Maybe it's because Shiho is still alive. Have you been feeling like you're being watched lately?"

"Nope. Mary shook her head. "Every time I go out, I come to work in the hospital and come home. I didn't feel any signs of being watched, and I had cameras installed near the apartment I live in. No suspicious people or anything was found. ”

"So, Belmode should still be on alert by now, plus her own mysticism ... Alas, I can't say it either, in short, I will try to contact you as little as possible in the future, and you yourself should be careful. ”

"I know Big Brother Bing. Mary nodded solemnly.

"So, tell me what's going on over there. ”

"Yes. Mary organized the language a little. "It was probably last week that Ling suddenly received an infiltration mission from the organization. Let him go to Europe, and investigate a person whose whereabouts and secrets, the organization suspects that person is a well-known killer on the European side, but his methods are weird, and the organization can't match anyone, about half a year ago, the organization has a very important transaction that was destroyed, but it has not been able to find who the saboteur is, although the organization suspects that it is that person, but has not found evidence and clues, so he has not been moved, because the people sent out before are all dead, and every time the clues have been interrupted. However, about a week ago, the organization's intelligence agents detected some clues about that person, so the task fell on Rei's head, asking her to thoroughly investigate the person's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, Ling was almost planted in his hands. If it weren't for Ling's life, maybe it would be true. ”

"Ling shouldn't get hurt easily. What level of existence is the other party? Can Ling almost be planted? Where is she injured?"

"Lungs. Mary was a little embarrassed. "Sneak up from behind, puncture with a needle or something like a cone through the lungs. ”

"From behind, how is this possible!" Mary's answer made my eyes widen. "When I was training you, the first lesson I told you was not to leave your back to anyone. Only the four of us can. Until the later stage of training, as long as there is a movement or killing intent behind you, the awareness of evasion will be subtly implanted into your nerves and muscles and make movements. It's not a sniper bullet, how could Ling be stabbed in the back with a cold weapon?"

"Strange is strange here. Mary shook her head slightly. "Ling told me about this operation on the phone when he was recuperating from his injuries, he said that the enemy was a man with a strange turban, and when Ling confronted him, Ling's body flew up uncontrollably, and on the man's headscarf there was a strange lampshade similar to a half-mask used to cover his face, and before Ling got out, the lamp flashed a dazzling red light, and then Ling seemed to have entered a fantasy world, and all that appeared in front of him was Brother Bing, your figure, and... The sight of your death. After that, Ling struggled in deep fear, but in the end, Ling felt a killing intent with her perception of danger, so she subconsciously moved her body, and the cone that originally pierced the heart penetrated her lungs, and Ling struggled out of the illusion. Even the guns and the grenades were lost, creating considerable chaos before they barely escaped. And she didn't figure out the identity of the killer. ”

"Shhhhh Spider?" Mary's words reminded me of this man who had only heard it for a long time.

"Spider?" Mary was puzzled. "Brother Bing, do you know this person?"

"I can't be sure, but it's not far from ten. I frowned. "This spider is also a killer I'm targeting, and according to the time, he should indeed be in Europe now. There's that technique.,Um.。。 It's almost certain that it's him. ”

"Brother Bing, can you provide me with some information? Ling may need it too. Mary asked lightly.

"Ah, yes. I slowly lay down and spoke slowly. "All I know is that his killer is codenamed Spider. In real life, his name is Günter von Gedorbak II, and he is a world-class magician, but he uses the hypnotic technique of illusion to confuse the audience, and Ling will rise into the air because he will make pulley slings near the battlefield before the battle, and in the dark, the extremely thin piano strings will hardly be detected. When Ling stepped into his cobweb-like realm, it was naturally difficult to get out. And that red light is probably a prop for him to use illusions. This guy isn't that easy to deal with. At first, I thought he had an intersection with the organization, but I didn't expect... "With that said, my own mind also turned over some of the things I had talked about when I first met Kaito when I was smaller. I remember Kaito said.,The organization that wants Pandora has been searching for gems all over the world.,And Pandora's secret is immortality.,I've always thought that the person who chased him was the killer sent by the organization.,But now through the incident of Ling's injury.,It seems that it's another dark organization that tracks down Pandora.,How big is the dark side of Japan? Why are there so many dark organizations...

"Günter von Gedorbak II?" said Mary, for a moment. "Then, Brother Bing, should I report this information to the organization?"

"Not yet. I shook my head. "It's not the right time, it's illogical for you, as a peripheral member, to provide a source of intelligence that even the organization can't find. Don't say anything about Ling, I'll tell her when she's recovered, and I'll be going to make a move on Günter von Gedorbak II soon. So don't divulge until I get a result. Otherwise, it will not be good for you. ”

"Yes, I remembered Brother Bing. ”

"Hmm... Let's do this for now.,That's right.,I.。。 Can I go see Shiho now?"

"Yes, yes... Mary smiled wryly. "But now that Sister Shirley is still asleep, Brother Bing might as well take care of her body now, and I will take care of it over there. ”

"Alas. . . Well, please. With that, I relaxed and lay down under the covers and closed my eyes. Mary, on the other hand, helped me cover the quilt, and finally adjusted the infusion bottle I had in hand and left quietly.

"Spider. . . "I closed my eyes, but my brows tightened unconsciously. "It's time to think about what to do. It's just that... How, exactly?"

———— the taste of the orchid, the taste of lavender, the taste of the home & the wings of the angel, the wings of the devil, the wings of the guardian————

The next morning, my father brought me breakfast, and after eating, my father left with the utensils. After all, he still had a job, and after a night of recovery, I was able to sneak around the hospital. Ran was still in front of Conan's bed, and I didn't go in to disturb me, but instead walked to Shiho's hospital room. When the door was opened, the man who had once seemed to be a faint rose was still sleeping quietly. Looking at her slightly pale face with a trace of pain, I couldn't help but feel a little pain in my heart. Reaching out to smooth the slightly undulating eyebrows, I couldn't help but sigh. Unexpectedly, after guarding the organization for so many years, she was not injured, and not long after escaping from the organization, she almost killed her. I am... What a bastard.

"Huh... "It seems that my movements have disturbed the sleeping beauty's deep sleep. After a sigh, Shiho woke up slowly. It was only the pain in her abdomen that made her frown again.

"You're awake. I withdrew my hand and whispered as I looked at Shiho, who was still a little dazed. "Don't move, I'll pour you a glass of water. ”

"Hmmm... A vague voice sounded in my ears, and it made me feel distressed again.

Picking up a glass of water, I gently lifted Shiho up, but of course, this movement was very slow. so as not to strain her injured abdomen. Holding Shiho up and slowly leaning into his arms, I handed the glass to her lips. Let her drink slowly. I can't make her cough at this time, otherwise the wound will hurt.

"How's it going?"

"Hmm. After taking a sip of water, Shiho's breath was noticeably better.

"It hurts. ”

“。。。 Well. Shiho nodded helplessly. "It's the first time in eighteen years of life that I've been injured so badly. I didn't feel like I was broken by Iceine before, but now it's uncomfortable. ”

“。。。 I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I tightened my grip on Shiho's arm. "If I had been with you at the time, you wouldn't have suffered like this. ”

"Huh. . . What are you talking about? Shiho tilted his head and rubbed it on my shoulder. "It's just an accident, and no one can guarantee that it's safe outside of the organization, can it?" Shiho comforted me with a gentle kiss on the cheek. "Also, the trauma this time has made me feel something. ”

"Huh?"

"It also let me know how much pain your scars have left for you. ”

"Shiho... "For some reason, I always feel like my vision has become blurry at this moment. It's as if something is leaking out. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry.... ”

"Okay, don't do that, I don't mean to blame you. Shiho said lightly. "Let me lie down, I'd better get my body up quickly. ”

"It's okay, you can take a little more time off, the school has already taken a leave of absence. I'll be there for you these days. Rubbing my eyes, I gently laid Shiho's body flat while gently pinching her palm.

"Hmm. Shiho did not deny this decision. Perhaps because of this injury, Shiho also cherishes every minute and second with me even more. "By the way, how's Kudo?"

And he was safe. It was the blood that Xiaolan gave him. ”

"Looks like your sister is aware of him. ”

"yes. "Thinking of Xiaolan's attitude towards Conan, I was in trouble again for a while.

"You'd better think of a way, otherwise, Kudo is really going to be the first test of the antidote. ”

"Okay, I'll figure it out. I nodded, then gently took the small, weak, boneless hand. "But I'm not going anywhere until you're healed. For me, it's more important to have nothing with you. ”

"Huh. . . Well. ”
