Chapter Forty-Eight: Darkness
The coffee shop is still open.
The "open" sign has hardly changed.
It doesn't matter if it's sunny, rainy, day or night.
At night, there are basically no customers at the café.
Unless you're planning to stay up late, no one will run out for coffee on the big night.
At night, too, it is quiet.
Although the temperature has gradually warmed up recently, no one will run out at night.
Perhaps other creatures are more active at night.
Like cats? Crow?
In a dark corner, a black cat, staring at the coffee shop with a pair of cat eyes.
In the dark sky, a black crow, with a pair of black eyes, stared at the black cat.
This world is black everywhere.
……
"Sure enough, those with the word 'sub' in their names are all monsters!"
Qingming once again made such a definition in his heart.
Akiko Sayama.
That's the name of the lady who came running over at night.
Obviously, the name has the word "Zi" in it.
Has this become the truth of this world?
Qingming didn't understand.
He wasn't going to look into such a thing.
He sat in front of Akiko Sayama and watched her finish three cups of Meng Po soup coffee.
"Tsk" smacking lips.
Then he asked.
"So, what do you want to achieve?"
Drinking three cups of Meng Po soup coffee in a row will grant a wish with the help of the owner.
That's the rule of the Naiheqiao coffee shop.
Rules made out on a whim.
Although so far, I haven't helped a few people.
Akiko Sayama, female, 24 years old, high school math teacher.
"Can you really help me make my wish come true?"
She asked.
Maybe everyone has to ask this question once.
After all, drinking three cups of Meng Po soup coffee can help make your wish come true......
That's too cheap, isn't it?
However, it is necessary to do what it says, and this is also one of Qingming's code of conduct.
"Of course."
"Whatever you want?"
"Whatever you want."
Qingming nodded again in affirmation.
Unless he can't do it, there won't be a problem.
However, the wishes that ordinary people desperately want to achieve are basically not too difficult.
Of course, if you're looking for Kudo Shinichi like you did in the past, then please forgive Qingming for not being able to do anything.
Kudo Shinichi has become Edogawa Conan, where is he going to get a Kudo Shinichi out?
Even if Conan was caught, no one would believe it.
Even if someone really believed it, Conan would refuse to admit it.
Even if Conan admits it, how will Qingming explain that he knows his true identity at that time?
That's why you have to have brains.
Otherwise, it can't even be compared to a primary school student.
"Is it okay to break the law even if it's a crime?"
“……”
Illegal and criminal things?
If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time I've heard something like this.
The last person to say such a thing failed to drink three cups of Meng Po soup, so he couldn't say it.
But judging from the later situation, it is estimated that it was a murder or something.
Now, Akiko Sayama says the same thing.
She also wants to kill?
Qingming stared at her for a moment.
That serious look told Qingming that she had made up her mind.
How would he tell a stranger his determination with such a look......
Is it scheming? Or is it all or nothing?
It doesn't matter.
For such a question, in fact, Qingming does not need to think about it at all.
"Of course."
He replied.
It doesn't matter if he violates the law or what, as long as he doesn't violate his bottom line, that's fine.
"So, what do you want to do?"
What do you want to do?
Perhaps, this does not need to be said.
"I want to die alone!"
The tone of gritted teeth, the eyes full of bitter hatred.
Looks like he wants to avenge someone.
Who is it? Family? Or a lover?
It doesn't matter.
"Life is very fragile, and if you want a person to die, sometimes you only need to do an extremely simple thing to take one, or even many, lives."
Qingming said so.
For example, throwing poison into a reservoir, such as helping a bullet to rush into the crowd, or for example, the head of state has a fever in his head and activates the final weapon.
Life is so small.
"So, it's a very simple thing to do, and if you want me to do it, I don't even have to step out of this store to be able to do it."
Qingming continued.
"But do you really want me to do it for you?"
He said.
The word "but" often represents a turning point.
He curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
A smile that seems to be a little "evil".
stood up, leaned down, and leaned in front of Akiko Sayama, with black pupils, staring at her.
"If you want revenge, it's better to kill the other party with your own hands, isn't it?"
His voice was soft, but it seemed to carry an inexplicable temptation.
Revenge with your own hands is indeed what many people want to do.
But is it really going to kill?
Akiko Sayama seemed a little hesitant.
Buying a murderer and killing with your own hands, that's still not the same.
That aside.
even instigated her to kill people in person, it seems that this shopkeeper is not a kind and righteous person.
This made her more or less relieved.
At least I didn't find the wrong person.
I also made a lot of determination to come here.
After all, there is no way to discuss such a thing as killing people.
"Actually, there's no need to hesitate."
Qingming smiled slightly.
I got a little closer, and I leaned into Akiko Sayama's ear.
"Whether I help you kill or you kill with your own hands, in the final analysis, you killed it, the difference is only the difference in the 'knife' used."
Qingming to kill, the "knife" is Qingming; Akiko Sayama went to kill, and the "knife" was something else.
It's no different.
Yes, there is no difference.
"So, what do you want to do?"
Qingming is still smiling.
With a demonic smile from hell.
"I ......"
……
Enomoto Azusa believes that Qingming is black-bellied.
But is that really the case?
When he found that he could change or even control the fate of others, Qingming seemed to have become a little different.
……
The temperature at night is a bit cool.
On the streets, there are no more people.
Akiko Sayama tightened her clothes, held a piece of talisman paper in her hand, and walked alone on the way home.
It was given to her by Qingming, and she was told how to use it.
She believed it, because Qingming used another rune paper on the spot and summoned a fireball.
In this world, there are people who have extraordinary abilities.
With this rune paper, her wish can be fulfilled at any time.
But do you really want to use it?
At this time, she was a little hesitant.
Qingming's words made her entangled.
Thinking about it like this, it gradually drifted away.
Qingming stood at the door of the coffee shop, looking at her figure in the distance.
"Everyone has a demon in their heart!"
Shaking his head with emotion, he went straight back to the store.
In the dark, the black cat watched all this.
The black crow stared at the black cat.
Beware of dark places, because there may be a very terrifying presence there.
Especially, the darkness of the human heart.
