Chapter 71: Light and Shadow (II)
"So, did you confess to each other?"
At Dr. Asasa's home, the gray-haired doctor was looking helplessly at Conan who was lying on the sofa in a daze. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's not a confession, it can only be regarded as a confession. Conan replied weakly.
Ever since he had been lying on the couch like a dead man, staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I didn't expect him to be ...... Alas, that's a ...... Alas......"
Dr. Asa scratched his head and let out a helpless sigh.
This was already the first sigh he didn't know how many times this night, and his tone slowly changed from surprise at the beginning to helplessness.
"Doctor, don't you have any ideas?" Conan said, turning his head to Dr. Asasa.
"What do you ......think," Dr. Asa smiled wryly and waved his hand, "I'm still a little confused......"
He felt that what had happened recently was more and more complex than at any time in previous years, far beyond his imagination.
First, Xinyi was poured an unknown poison by a black-clothed organization for no reason and magically turned into a child, and then the disciple who finally returned from many years of wandering overseas suddenly became the biggest danger of Mihua, which made his super brain stuffed with all kinds of strange knowledge a little overwhelmed, and his shiny brain couldn't help but sweat a little overloaded.
"yes, don't say it's you, I can't believe it myself...... It's like a story that only appears in comics......"
Conan turned his head and looked at the comics he had stacked up over there, and couldn't help but let out a wry smile of helplessness.
However, comics are comics after all, and such ups and downs of the plot happen in reality, which is not a thing to be happy about.
"This kid...... usually looks like hee-hee-ha, but he really knows how to act...... This kid ......"
Remembering the cynical look he had when he came to look for him, Dr. Asa couldn't help but mutter.
"There's no way to act, after all, if he could, he probably wouldn't want to involve us in it......"
Conan rubbed his eyes, then got up from the couch and put his glasses back on.
From the point of view of acting, Conan, who is also a victim of the black-clad organization, and who also tries his best to carry and hide his secret dual identity, can be said to be the person who can understand Eagle Arrow the most at this moment. After all, the acting skills of the two of them are worthy of applause.
There is a saying that everyone is a natural actor, because life itself is a play, and we play our roles all the time, until the curtain of life is drawn. And Conan and Eagle Arrow, it's just like taking another script halfway through and changing a role, although it was a little jerky at first, but they are playing such a role all the time, even if they are actors with poor talent, they will always enter the play, not to mention Conan and Eagle Arrow, who are naturally smart.
But the only difference is that Conan has always played the role of Edogawa Conan as Kudo Shinichi. And Eagle Ya is different, he has already become a black knight inside, and the identity of Yuchai Eagle Ya is the role he is really playing.
"That's what I said......"
Hearing Conan's words, Dr. Asa couldn't help but scratch his head, because it was he who told Conan to keep it a secret from the people around him.
"But in this case, the camera he asked me for last time was also to be better active at night!"
Thinking of this, Dr. Asa suddenly slapped his palms, revealing a look of sudden realization.
"Well, has there ever been such a thing?" Conan said curiously.
"Yes, at that time, this kid said that he was going to practice drag racing, and I scolded him because it was too dangerous...... Now that I think about it, I scolded a lot less! What he's doing now is much more dangerous than drag racing!" Dr. Asa shook his head angrily.
"Dr. Asasa, if you had known that he was going to do something, would you have given it to him?" Conan asked curiously.
"Of course I should be—uh, I should...... I'll give it to him...... If these things can make him safer......" Dr. Asa scratched his head and sighed helplessly, "After all, he is also my only disciple!"
"Even if you know he's wrong, why don't you choose to stop him!" Conan said silently, bowing his head.
"If I tell you, will he listen? Like if I told you not to fight that organization and live your life as Conan Edogawa in peace, would you be willing? Would you be happy?" Dr. Asa gave Conan a deep look.
Conan was speechless, and could only lie back in silence, continuing to stare at the ceiling in a daze.
"You see, even you are like that, and how much more stubborn is he than you, and you should know better than anyone else what he is determined to do. ”
"Besides, how can you be sure that what he did was wrong?"
Dr. Asasa looked at Conan, who was silent, shook his head, stood up, and continued his experiments with his equipment.
"Isn't that wrong?" said Conan, lying there, as if talking to himself.
The words of Eagle Arrow, and the portrait of Heavenly Punishment, lingered in his mind that night, keeping him awake at night.
His world was originally very distinct, white is white, black is black, as a detective, as a hot-blooded teenager with a strong sense of justice, in his eyes, all illegal and criminal acts are wrong, and they need to be made to pay for what they do. No matter how sympathetic the reason for his crime is, he is always responsible for doing something wrong......
But now, for the first time, he was hesitant to catch a criminal.
On the one hand, it is the ruler in the heart, the criterion of life, and on the other side, it is the memories of childhood and the emotions that are difficult to give up.
Shinichi has always considered himself a sane person, just like Ran once jokingly asked himself what he would do if Dr. Asa was a prisoner. At that time, he did not hesitate to say that he would also expose him sharply and make him pay for his sins. Because he was convinced that he was for the good of Dr. Asasa, for him not to continue to make mistakes, and for him to be able to continue to live without any shackles after paying for his sins!
But at this moment, he hesitated, and the emotions in his heart affected his rational judgment for the first time. No, not only emotions, but also the idea of Eagle Arrow, the idea of absolute opposites and the same goal, for the first time carved out a gray area in his black-and-white worldview, which made him lose his own criteria all at once, and made it impossible to make accurate judgments all of a sudden.
"A knight who throws himself into the darkness but wants to protect the light...... That's an ironic statement......" Conan couldn't help but stretch out his hand, as if trying to catch the dim light, "Definitely not killing...... Should I trust, like that?"
In fact, Conan's worries are not only about whether Eagle Arrow can defend himself and not kill people.
It is indeed a great idea to escape into the darkness to protect the light, but the light does not come into thin air when the darkness is destroyed. It is a contradiction that Eagle Arrow tries to use violence to solve violence and punish illegality with illegality. When this idea of countering violence with violence is accepted by the public, people will no longer trust the law and law enforcement agencies, but choose violence at the first time, which will only increase the chaos in this society and increase more violence!
To put it simply, he didn't solve the problem substantively, but only brutally destroyed the problem, thus delaying the problem to erupt. When this darkness accumulates to a certain extent, and when it erupts again, it will be far more terrifying than it is now!
However, what Takaya said made Conan have to care.
Fear of becoming a demon, is there no need for the punishment knight to exist? Is it not afraid of the outbreak of darkness, so he will not suppress it?
Existence is reasonable, Conan once heard such a saying.
The appearance of the Black Knight, in a sense, also represents the current needs of the city.
However, Conan is convinced that the city needs a Knight of Light even more.
Compared to the knights hiding in the dark, the knights of light who can guide everyone and restore information about law and justice!
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but turn his head and pick up the manga in his hand again.
That's right, it just needs a knight of light who can erect a monument in people's hearts like the protagonist of a shonen manga.
But then again, if it's really like in the comics, there are superheroes, will there be supercriminals?
After all, this is not just something imagined by the author for the sake of the plot, light and shadow are originally two sides of things.
Because there are supercriminals, superheroes will appear. It is also because there are superheroes, so supercriminals are born.
What Eagle Arrow is doing now is undoubtedly equivalent to lighting a bright light in the night sky, although it has shocked many small people who are hiding in the dark. But because of the attraction of light, more rats crawled out of the darkness!
This is also what Conan fears the most right now.
Hopefully, the plot in the manga will not play out in reality.
Hopefully, everything, it's really just that he thinks too much.
However, all that he feared was playing out on the other side of the city......
===================================================================
Night. Eleven thirty. Rice flower 1-chome. Skyscraper.
It was nearly midnight, and the night cold wave of rice flowers was bursting, and the high skyscrapers were even more piercing.
However, Enoshima shield didn't feel cold at all.
The raging night breeze rustled her double ponytails and miniskirt, but it couldn't dampen her burning enthusiasm.
Because the person in front of him, the person who has been appearing in midnight dreams lately, is finally standing in front of his eyes at this moment!
"Hey, handsome guy, this is the second time we've met!"
Facing the dark figure, Enoshima Shield showed a bright smile and greeted him very familiarly.
"Is that you?" the black figure descending from the sky frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's the shield," the shield circled around the figure, and said with a smile, "You've come to see me!"
Even on such a moonless night, the girl's bright smile still covered the night sky.
To be honest, she didn't expect the other party to respond to her directly, but she didn't expect him to really come, and she couldn't help but feel good.
However, compared to her, the person opposite is not in such a good mood.
As soon as Eagle Ya came out of the villa area of the 4-chome, he heard Uncle De's voice in disbelief.
It is said that it is in the rice flower chome area, and the searchlight that Taka had tied up Yoshio Okamoto had tied up was lit again.
And not only did it light up, but it also lit up the shape of an eagle in the air!
If it had been changed before, it would have been nothing, at most someone was playing a prank. But after the appearance of the black knight, the shape of this eagle was given a special meaning. In addition, the shape of this eagle is almost exactly the same as the blue sign engraved on the chest of the eagle, without the slightest deviation, and it must have been deliberately placed to attract his attention.
At first, Takaya thought that Sato or Kujo was looking for him, but because he didn't have the means to contact him, he came up with such a way to lead him to meet. It's just that he never thought that it would be this girl standing on the roof of the building!
For the girl he once saved, Eagle Arrow is still quite impressed. Although there was only one side, when he was kidnapped, this girl's attitude of interest as if it was none of his business made him feel a little curious.
The one who can still show such a demeanor in that situation is either natural and stupid, or she really doesn't care about the hijacker or even her own life. If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter, it's a little scary......
"Did you put that logo on the searchlight?" said Hawkya, frowning.
"Yes, it's exquisite, isn't it?" said Enoshima Shield with a smile, "Shield, but I've been working on it since I went back that day, and I've tried a lot of materials to finally make such a perfect finished product!"
"Why did you do that?" said Hawk Ya, still in an extremely cold voice, "Also, how did you get up so late?"
"Ah, although people ran up secretly, but you don't think that I bribed the security guards with **** and other methods to come up!
Hearing Hawkya's words, Shield turned his head to Hawkya with a little nervousness as if he had suddenly thought of something.
[At the same time as she said this, on the first floor of this building, the security guard who had been knocked unconscious let out a painful moan. 】
"As for why you do this...... said this, Dunzi couldn't help but reach out and stroke his pink and gold ponytail, and then closed his eyes, revealing a shy look, "Of course, it's because people want to see you!"
"Yes...... Then you see ...... now" Leaving such a sentence, Hawk Arrow prepared to turn and leave.
"Eh, wait, people finally saw you, don't be so cold!" Seeing that Eagle Ya was leaving, Enoshima Shield hurriedly stopped in front of him, and said pitifully, "Meet me, handsome guy, my name is Enoshima Shield, I'm very curious about you!"
"I don't think I have anything to be curious about......" Takaya decisively pushed her away, and then walked to the edge of the roof, "Besides, knowing too much will only cause trouble for you, so be a good girl and go home and sleep early!"
"Ah, you treat me like a child! I'm not too young, I don't believe it yourself!"
Enoshima Shield pouted unhappily, and then deliberately straightened up her completely abnormally developed part.
It's a pity that the current Eagle Arrow is not the playboy who can't stand the temptation of the girl, but a dangerous person in a black uniform, so this magnificent scene did not stir up even a ripple in his heart.
Moreover, he always had a very strange intuition, that is, this girl who looked about the same age as Xia Fan was dangerous!
"Young master, the alarm bell of a gold shop 2 kilometers away from you in a straight line has sounded!"
At this time, Uncle De's voice suddenly came from Eagle Ya's headphones, which made him frown again.
"Got it, go over right away!"
After replying to these words, Eagle Arrow took out his talons and held them in his hand, and then jumped straight from the roof of the building, never looking back.
"Ah~ah~ really left without looking back...... The charm has been denied, and the shield feels so sad!"
Looking at the black figure floating away in the night, the shield couldn't help but hold his chin with both hands, and sighed helplessly.
"However, at the same time, there is a fighting spirit burning in the heart of the shield, da☆ze!"
The mood of the shield is very peculiar, one second it was like a melancholy girl's comic, but the next second it was already burning like a boy's manga.
"No one has ever been able to dump His Highness all at once...... Black Knight, you are blessed!"
Looking at the figure that disappeared into the night, the corners of the shield's mouth couldn't help but flush a haughty smile.
If at the beginning, Dunzi was simply curious about him and wanted to understand this contradictory individual who seemed to have never encountered before, then now she has a trace of inexplicable attachment in it.
"Compared to Miss Ben, the bad guy can make you more interested, then, how about His Highness also make a bad guy? In this case, you should come to me yourself, right?" Her eyes as bright as gems kept blinking, "However, if His Highness wants to be a bad guy, he can't be the same as those guys who are low to the extreme, isn't that no different from them in his eyes? How about just a black knight and a loud nickname?"
As he said this, the shield couldn't help but lick his pink nail polish, as if the blood from the last time was still there.
"Aha, red, red heart, it's also a good match for His Royal Highness, why don't you just call it the Honeyqueen (honeyqueen)? Haha, good middle two good middle two, but warm enough, it represents the shield My full love for you!"
"So~to~?~"
A slightly hideous smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"I'll wait for you to come back to me, handsome!"
