People will always die.

The difference is only when and how you die.

Whether you want it or not, this is an unavoidable ending for everyone, whether it is Qingming, who is a Taoist, or Koizumi Hongzi, who is a witch, or Ayumi, Xiaolan, Gray Yuan Ai and others.

This is an inevitable end.

When you die, you have nothing left and nothing left.

Terrible thing.

"I really don't want to see a sad image of myself getting old and dying out!"

Qingming sighed secretly.

At this time, he was sitting on a bench in the hospital hallway, and his new name, Kaori, was sitting next to him.

I cried for a long time just now.

Maybe I'm tired, or maybe I want to escape from reality, leaning on Qingming's shoulder, and falling into the world of dreams.

However, even if it is a dream, it may be a nightmare.

Her brows were furrowed, her expression seemed to be a little uneasy, and her hands grabbed Qingming's arm vigorously, perhaps this would give her a sense of security.

Her mother and the doctor went to deal with the rest of the matter.

As a well-known reasoner, the news of the death of the new name Rentaro has not been concealed for long, and those reporters always seem to have magical sources, and at this time they have gathered outside the hospital door.

They want to come in, and they're trying to get in.

But this is only in vain.

Qingming didn't have much affection for reporters as creatures, so he used a little magic to ensure that the inside of the hospital was not disturbed.

He likes to be quiet.

Sit here and think quietly about something.

"Life is always so fragile."

He thought so.

It's hard to say when, a small accident can wipe out a person's life.

Powerless.

Even if you have the ability, you can't revive a person who is already dead.

At this moment, Qingming had to seriously think about a question: what is his ability used for? As a Taoist priest, what should he do?

Practical joke?

For your own benefit?

Or is it just using your own abilities to do nonsense and satisfy your own desires (beep~)?

Maybe.

What else could you do?

Robbing the rich and helping the poor?

Or to save the people from fire and water?

Or will you dominate the world and let the whole world enter the Datong society?

Possibly.

But Qingming doesn't have such lofty ideals, and he doesn't have the mood to do these seemingly lofty things.

"Sure enough, I don't have any dreams!"

Qingming shook his head.

Perhaps, he should do something like the new name Rentaro, not to mention the eternal life, at least after death, he can leave something that can prove his existence.

The new name Rentaro has done it, and as a reasoner, as long as there are no major changes, his name will accompany him and will be passed down forever.

The new name Kahori can also do it.

She was far more talented in writing than her father, and her accomplishments would be even greater, and she might one day be able to write a famous book like Sherlock Holmes.

This point, whether it is Qingming or Kobayashi-kun, cannot be compared.

"However, at least I'm much better than Kobayashi-kun!"

Qingming thought so.

Maybe it should be said that "less than the top, more than the bottom" or something, Kobayashi Jun is completely at the bottom, anyone can step on it, it is estimated that there is no possibility of turning over in this life.

Qingming still has infinite possibilities, after all, he is a Taoist priest.

Although he is a Taoist priest who does not understand what he lives for, what he wants to do, and what he should do.

"Maybe we have to find the meaning of life."

He continued to think.

But how to look for it? Traveling?

It's easy to say.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a person appeared and seemed surprised when he saw Qingming.

Qingming squinted at the past.

It's Conan.

And there was a man and a woman beside him, Shuichi Akai, Judy, and a person walking behind him, maybe the one named James.

It doesn't matter, and Qingming doesn't bother to care.

"Qingming, why are you here? What to do? ”

Conan was a little curious.

Stopped, looked at it carefully, and looked even more puzzled.

"This is the new name, Miss Kahori?"

He knew the new name Kaori, after all, the new name Kaori had also submitted a commission to Maori Kogoro to find his father, but he was found by Qingming first.

That's an opportunity to get to know.

Shuichi Akai and Judy also stopped and looked at Qingqing with some wariness in their eyes.

They don't have much intersection with Qingming, and naturally they don't have much trust, so it's strange to be unguarded.

"Huh?"

Judy was suddenly surprised.

She and Qingming have met, and if she really wants to say it, Qingming can also be regarded as her "student", although she has only met once in school.

It doesn't matter.

Qingming didn't intend to pay attention to them, just yawned and looked a little impatient.

"It's nothing to do with you, just play around."

Wherever Conan is, it's not safe, and something might happen.

It's better to say that the hospital will have an accident soon.

Although Conan doesn't know why Qingming and Shinnaka Hori are here, Qingming knows why Conan and Shuichi Akai are here.

Because the water has no mercy, they are hidden in this hospital.

Eisuke Hondo, as well as Gin, Belmode, and others, are looking everywhere for traces of Mizuno at this time, and it won't be long before they can find this place.

Maybe it's all here.

Qingming hasn't paid much attention to this aspect recently, so it's not very clear.

It doesn't matter anyway.

Although he didn't get an answer, because he still had his own things to do, Conan didn't say anything and left with Shuichi Akai and them.

Shuichi Akai, Judy and James glanced at Qingming.

But that's about it.

Qingming looked at their distant backs.

Then shook his head.

"Everyone has something to do!"

……

Everyone is doing what they want to do, and only they have nothing to do.

This may be loneliness.

Qingming didn't quite understand the meaning of "loneliness", and he never had the leisure to think about these issues.

Let's not talk about that.

The new name Hori Kaori didn't sleep long and woke up quickly.

After talking to Qingming, she followed her mother to deal with the rest of the matter.

It's nearly midnight.

It seemed that Qingming was still here, and with a somewhat haggard face, he walked over.

It seems to want to put on a smile.

But it was too reluctant, only the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and finally gave up this choice.

"Qingming ......"

She spoke.

His voice sounded a little hoarse, causing him to slurred his words and cough a few times before he was going to continue to say something.

However, Qingming waved his hand and stopped her.

"I'll accompany you here, I don't have anything else to do anyway, just be busy with your own business, don't worry about me."

"I ...... Thank you. ”

The new name Kaori wanted to say something, but in the end it was just a thank-you.

Also in the mood to say anything.

Glancing at Qingming gratefully, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Qingming stopped her.

When she stopped, turned to look at Qingming suspiciously, walked up to her, raised his hand, and touched her head.

"Don't be too sad, your father doesn't want to see you like this."

“……”

Shina Kahori didn't speak, just nodded.

Then he turned and left.

This time Qingming didn't stop her, just sat down and watched her leave.

The new name, Kahori, soon disappeared around the corner.

As soon as he left, Conan appeared.

This time he was alone, Shuichi Akai and Judy who didn't know where they were, maybe they were busy with their business.

Conan's expression was a little shocked.

"The new name Rentaro-sensei has passed away?"

It seems that he heard the news from someone else, and he is also a fan of the new name Rentaro, and this news is not good news for him.

"Hmm."

Qingming responded.

He wasn't going to bother with Conan because he was thinking.

Death, what is it all about?
