Chapter 129: Decision

It's game over.

To be honest, I really don't think there's anything fun about this game, the whole process is still thrilling except horror, just like when I was watching the midnight bell, I knew I was watching a ghost movie, and I was obviously prepared for the horror scene, but when I really saw Sadako come out of the TV, there was still an irrepressible fear in my heart, and the uneasiness brought to me by this game also lingered in my heart, especially when I thought I had exhausted the mechanism, but in the end I was played with by the game system, the feeling of powerlessness in the face of absolute power, despair, and pain was so clear and realIt still scares me until now. Perhaps Hiroki's purpose was simply to correct the arrogance that grew in the hearts of the children who represented the future of Japan through simulated dangers, but the game hit me just as ruthlessly.

I don't have the strength.

Yes, no matter how well my plan is, no matter how perfect my traps are, no matter how embarrassed my enemies are under my design, but the truth is that when all this meets absolute power, it becomes as quick as the snow of the first sun, powerless and ridiculous. Stratagem is a trick that can only defeat the opponent through the superior ratio of resources when the situation is evenly matched or the gap is not large, and in the face of absolute strength, it has no effect except for grandstanding.

In fact, before entering this game, even I didn't notice that I had been subconsciously avoiding the question of what I would do if I had lost my power and were to be attacked by the organization again.

Stratagem, yes, I've always been proud of my ability to plan, as long as I have enough resources, I'm confident that with my plan, I can do anything, even if I lose my power, so what? The difference between human animals is that people have their own minds and intelligence, not muscular fools who only use violence, if the organization reappears, I will use my brain to deal with them, isn't Conan in the original book also on par with Gin?

There is no doubt that the idea has been hovering in my head since the beginning, but I have never doubted the feasibility of this idea, and this game, although virtual, has taught me in a sense what is real.

If one day our identities are revealed, Gin comes to the door with a gun, just like he always does, and kicks open the door of the office, and then puts the muzzle of the gun against the door of my head, against Uncle Maori's head, Ran, Conan...... So what can I do at that time? At that time, I'm afraid that kind of thing will not be as useful as toilet paper in the toilet.

Strength! Great power! Power that cannot be refused!

There was an incomparable thirst for power in my heart that I had never felt before!

I need strength, enough power to ensure that the people around me are not threatened in any way!

"Hey, hey!"

“...... Huh, what's wrong?" I was startled, and when I turned my head, I saw Conan patting me on the back.

"Why are you stunned? Hurry up, Dad is still waiting for us. Conan said as he snorted at me in the direction of the audience.

"Oh. I was slightly stunned, followed Conan's eyes and looked down, and found that at some point, my father was standing under the stage not far from us, looking at us calmly, and the gaze in his eyes was as warm and mellow as ever.

"What about Xiao Ai and Xiao Lan?" I asked Conan as I walked side by side with Conan to the stage. The people at the scene were chaotic, and I didn't see the children. The audience is full of scenes of parents hugging their children crying and laughing, and it seems that this game not only scared the children inside, but also scared their parents outside.

"Ah, they were sent back by Xiaolan and Dr. Agasa first, and Uncle Maori also went back, so you are going home today, right?" Speaking of this, Conan paused slightly, looked at me with some puzzlement, and said: "Speaking of which, your machine is the last to automatically unlock, obviously all the children have come out, but you are still asleep in the machine, so we almost thought that your machine was malfunctioning." You're all right, right?"

"Oh, it's okay, the system must be a little slower. "At that time, I must have been talking to Hiroki, right?

"Well, forget it. Although he didn't believe my words too much, Conan, who knew that even pestering was useless, decisively gave up asking me, but after walking a few steps, Conan suddenly exclaimed "ah" as if he remembered something!

"What's wrong?!" Conan screamed, startling me too.

"I suddenly remembered something......"

"What's the matter?"

"I seem to ...... Offended Ashbara, I want to say, can you help me ask for a favor or something, ahaha......" Conan sneered in his head.

"A little thing...... Uh, I seem to ...... when you say that, as if the reflex action of beating my chest has just been performed, and Conan's words make my body freeze as well.

"What a coincidence, haha, why are you ?......?"

"I'm not sure, but it seems to have something to do with my death, hahaha......" Although I didn't see Xiao Ai's eyes when he left, Xiao Ai's terrifying expression last time was still deeply imprinted in my heart.

"yes?!I'm too!!What a coincidence!ahhahaha......" Conan laughed as he grabbed the back of his head with his hand.

"Yes, yes, hahaha...... What a coincidence, can you tell me, I'm going to die, what's the matter with you?"

"Well, because it's my brother who died, and Gray Plains, eighty percent of them will be called 'brother and sister' in the future......"

"I see! That's unfortunate......"

"yes, that's unfortunate......"

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

"Ugh......" After laughing like a psychopath, Conan and I looked at each other and stopped laughing in embarrassment, but the sweat on our faces became more and more......

Seeing me and Conan walking side by side in front of him, my father didn't say anything, just half-squatted down and hugged us fiercely, fortunately, the camera at this time had already aimed at the celebrities in the financial and financial circles, and did not have time to take care of us, which made me more or less relieved.

"Go home, your mother is already waiting impatiently at home. Dad stood up and smiled at us.

"Good. Conan and I answered at the same time. When I think of home, I feel a warm feeling in my body and mind. A house is different from a home, and a house with relatives is called a home. And now, someone is waiting at home for me to go back.

The panic, uneasiness, and horror in my heart all disappeared at the moment I was hugged by my father, and I felt extremely relieved, and now I am Yuichi Kudo, just Yuichi Kudo.

But at the moment when my dad walked out of the door of the venue, when the corner of my eye occasionally swept over a corner of the venue, my body couldn't help but stiffen slightly, but it was only a moment, and even my dad and Conan who were next to me didn't notice my pause just now.

......

"Young master, he's gone. ”

"I know," said the handsome blond young man in a well-cut and crisp suit with a handsome face, and said with a smile as he put down the hand he had just put to his ear in the shape of a "telephone", "but I think he will be back soon, and that day will not be far away." ”

"I don't understand, young master, why are you so persistent in finding such a child? Even if he is beautiful and has good skills, but with your strength, young master, as long as you ......" The man in black who had been standing solemnly behind him saw the young man's expression of excitement in joy, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Well, you don't understand, and so do a lot of people, that even that self-proclaimed smart so-called organization is just a bunch of self-righteous fools. The bright smile on the young man's face gradually turned into a sneer: "In this world, only I know what is hidden in his body, which is terrifying and great that even he is not aware of. ”

"Terrifying and great?" The man in black didn't understand why the young man combined two opposite words, but after hesitating, he still spoke: "Since the young master thinks that he has the value of use, then why not ......" The man in black made a hidden gesture.

"There is an old Chinese saying, called a twisted melon is not sweet, I will let him stand by my side willingly, no, as long as he is willing to come, the position in front of me can also be given to him, as long as he gives me what I want, it is to stand in his back, I don't care!" The young man muttered, his eyes that had been staring at the boy's back gradually became fanatical: "It's soon, it's fast, I've seen him coming towards me, and what I expect is coming......"

......

Fidel, what did he come to do?

Sitting in my dad's car, I couldn't help frowning at the thought. I hadn't seen Fidel since I pulled the nail from Field's side, I thought he was gone, I never thought he had never left here, and even today he actually entered the game venue in a grand manner!

It was so easy to get a ticket as a Fidel and attend the launch ceremony as a VIP, but I really couldn't imagine what he was doing here? Is it to watch the game? Don't look at the joke! And the way he looked at me made me quite concerned, it was like a hunter waiting for his prey to fall into the net, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

And that gesture, is it for me to call him? Why is he confident that I will call him? What the hell is he trying to do?

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, and I simply threw all the messy thoughts out of my mind and began to think about my mother.

I don't know what my mother will do for me this time? Well, braised pork is absolutely indispensable, well, sweet and sour fish seems to be good, and spiced beef is also very popular......

Reunions with family are pleasant at all times, well, at least that's what I thought, but Conan......

"Come, Xiaohui, how about trying this matcha cake that Mom just learned?"

"Hmm...... Chewing ...... Delicious. ”

"Really?!! great!!!Try this again!"

"Well, it's delicious. ”

"And this!This!come, mom feed you, ah~~"

"I don't want this, Mom, I'm so embarrassed......" I dodged my mother's outstretched hand as I tried to wink in my mother's direction toward Conan, who sat on the side with his face dark.

"Don't be shy, Xiaohui! Why are you rolling your eyes? Conan, that dead boy, don't worry about him, he likes to eat and tell him to take it himself. Come on, ah~~" Seeing my eyes, my mother couldn't help but roll her eyes at Conan, and continued to smile and try to stuff something into my mouth.

"It was late, I was a little sleepy, so I went to sleep first. Seeing that his wife did not have any status in his eyes, Conan's expression couldn't help but become extremely depressed, and from time to time he went to see his father who was reading the newspaper on the side, but today's news seemed to be unusually exciting, and his father's eyes couldn't be dragged off when he was glued to the newspaper, and he didn't notice Conan's pitiful gaze. After staying up for a while, Conan really couldn't stand his mother's greasy tone, so he had to retreat on his own.

Although I was ashamed, I could only give Conan a helpless look, and then my eyes were filled with my mother.

"Ahem, there is Kiko, although Yuichi came back after such a long time, I can understand your feelings, but you also have to take care of that kid in Shinichi, otherwise that kid in Shinichi will be jealous. Seeing Conan's figure disappear, Dad finally took his eyes off the newspaper and coughed to Mom.

"I know, but I've been looking at Xiaoxin's stinky boy for so many years, I don't know anything about him? Xiaoyou is different, I finally found Xiaoyou, I don't know a lot of things about Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou's every expression is so cute!ah! Cute to death!" Mom said while hugging me into her arms: "As soon as I see Xiaoyou so cute, I can't care about Shinichi's kid at all, what can I do?" Mom pursed her lips, showed an unusually cute expression, and said to Dad angrily.

"Mom, let it go, I'm embarrassed to ......" The faint and elegant aroma of my mother's body is accompanied by the warm body temperature unique to women, constantly disturbing my thoughts, although the soft, fragrant feeling makes me intoxicated, but my face is also hot for a while, and I feel uncomfortable.

"Ahh

"Don't!

"Ahem, there is Kiko, don't make trouble, it will make noise to the neighbors. Dad finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Mom's nonsense.

"Cut, I'm making out with my own son, what's in your way? Mom gave my dad a blank look, snorted and said, but still didn't let go of her hand very willingly, which made me and my dad breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ahem, Yuichi, how are you doing lately?Is the money enough?" Seeing that he couldn't talk about his wife at all, my father finally gave up the unreliable idea of reasoning with my mother, and shifted the topic to mine.

"Ah, there's a lot of money, you don't have to worry. I nodded.

"How's the food? Kogoro won't gamble all the money he earns, will he? Will Xiaolan often cook the dishes you like to eat? What about the clothes? The weather has started to get cold, have you bought winter clothes? Will you lose sleep normally? Does Kogoro snore?"

"Don't worry, Mom, Uncle Maori is actually very good, Xiaolan is also very considerate, and Conan and I are doing well. I replied with some reluctance. It seems that when I am mentioned, my mother has endless topics to talk about, and she always has to interrogate all aspects to rest assured.

"That's good, that's good. Hearing me say that everything was fine, my mother couldn't help but show a relieved expression. Conan and my dad and I were all silent, but it was a fun game, so my mom didn't know about the thrills we were encountering in the game, otherwise she would have been worried.

"That organization, didn't you trouble again?" After a moment's hesitation, my father still frowned and asked me. Hearing Dad's words, Mom's expression that had just relaxed became tense again.

"Ah, it's fine, everything is normal, even that organization, it is impossible to imagine that Conan and I will become children, right? Seeing the solemn expressions of the two, I shrugged my shoulders and said in a relaxed tone. How could I possibly tell them that the organization had extended its tentacles to this place several times before, and that even a few times I had narrowly escaped the battle, and they would be worried.

"Yes. Hearing my words, Dad's frown gradually relaxed.

"Otherwise, Xiaoyou, you and Xiaoxin should go to the United States with us, right? There your father has friends in the FBI, and the medical level there is much more advanced than in China, and it will definitely cure you and Xiaoxin's physical problems." Putting away Fang Cai's heartless expression, my mother's beautiful cheeks were covered with a faint worry, which made me feel uncomfortable for no reason, I would rather see my mother always be as noisy as she was just now, rather than see such an expression on my mother's face.

"Don't worry, your son and I are very strong! I puffed up my chest and thumped my chest, trying to lighten up the atmosphere, but suddenly I burst out of breath and couldn't help coughing.

"What's wrong, wasn't it okay just now?" said my mother while stroking my back to help me calm down.

"I don't know, maybe I'm a little cold, cough cough, it's okay, this little illness, I'll just get some sleep. I said with a smile.

"Don't push yourself too hard. My dad looked at me and said in a deep voice, "If you have any difficulties, just call us, if you can't do it, let's move the whole family to the United States, and tell my friends in the FBI, that organization will definitely be eliminated." ”

"Well, I know," I nodded, "I'll be careful, I'll call you if I have something." ”

"Little You......" Mom held my hand and stopped talking.

"Mom, don't worry, we'll be fine. I squeezed my mother's hand and smiled at her.

Yes, we'll be fine, everybody's going to be safe, I swear.

At half-past eleven o'clock in the evening, when everyone in the family finally fell asleep, I strolled to the lawn in front of Kudo's house and found a place to sit. The moonlight tonight is very good, the cold moonlight sprinkled on the grass, like a glittering silver dust, very beautiful, but this autumn wind is very cool.

How long has it been since I've seen the moon here? I don't remember, but I remember that the last time was a long, long time ago, so long that I thought it was a lifetime ago.

I pulled out my phone, dialed the number, and after a busy tone, the voice came out of the microphone that disgusted me.

"Yo! Good evening!"

"......" I was silent, my hand holding the phone trembling slightly, trying my best to suppress the urge to break the phone into pieces.

"It's a lot faster than I expected!I thought it would be two months before you remembered to call me!" The person on the other end of the line didn't seem to feel the coldness of my attitude, and his tone was full of closeness and joy, and people who didn't know thought he was talking to a close friend.

“......”

“...... ......Seeing that I didn't respond, the voice on the other end of the phone finally sighed: "It seems that this game really gave you a big blow...... Watching my friends die in front of you one by one, one is devastated, right? I was terrified to find that the trap I was proud of was broken like paper, right? I couldn't bear to hear it even when I sat down......

“......”

"Ah~~ It's a good game...... It's so pleasant to be able to do everything I want to do but can't do all at once, oh, I hope you don't mind, I just want you to realize your weakness now, and cooperate with me to keep everything you have now, are you right?"

Even if I didn't say anything, the voice on the other end of the line was chattering, and his enthusiasm never seemed to run out of time.

“...... I do. I faintly spat out two words.

"Oh?" was the first surprised voice on the other end of the line, as if I didn't expect me to say yes outright.

"I help you do what you want, and you give me enough strength to protect the people around me. ”

"What do I want to do?" "What do you mean?" the voice on the other end of the phone began to become interested, as if expecting something.

"Don't you just want to be a master? Don't you just want to prove that you are as strong as you are without a family? I will help you dominate the Japanese financial world and become a giant in the Japanese financial world, so that even if you don't have the power of your family, you can become a prominent figure in the world, and you will go down in history." ”

I've always avoided anything to do with this guy, because I know that this guy is a madman, a madman like Nietzsche trying to be the sun, a completely unreasonable guy, and hundreds of years of intermarriage have made the people of this family either stupid or paranoid, and Fidel, no doubt, is a super bigot who will not hesitate to destroy everything, even himself, for the sake of his so-called ideals. I can almost foresee how many families will be broken up because of me, how many people will commit suicide because of my means, how many will die under Fidel's madness after I promise him. But I can't take care of all this, for the sake of my friends, for the sake of my family, I can give everything!

Maybe I'm crazy in a way.

The voice on the other end of the phone didn't seem to expect me to say this, and was obviously stunned for a long time, before he sighed, revealing a disappointed disappointment that he couldn't hide: "Sure enough...... Isn't it still time?"

"Huh?" The other party's reaction was completely unexpected, and my supposed ecstasy did not appear, on the contrary, the other party seemed to be unusually disappointed.

“...... Actually, you know what I want, right? Are you deliberately reluctant to admit it? Do you think it's useful to run away?"

"......" Hearing the other party's words, a vague guess appeared in my heart, but I immediately extinguished this latent thought, like a disaster in Pandora's box, that faint and untouchable thing, which made me feel frightened and made me instinctively resist.

“...... Now, I can only help you go so far. After a long silence, I gritted my teeth and made a low sound, like the roar of a wild beast.

"So, let's do it for now, I'm sure you'll come to me sooner or later, and I can afford to wait. There was a low, mocking laugh on the other end of the phone, as if mocking my senseless resistance: "I just hope you don't regret it then." ”

“......”

"As much as my power is, so is your strength, and I hope you can understand that. After saying this, without waiting for my answer, the other party hung up the phone, and I, as if collapsed, lay on my back on the grass with a pale face.

This time was different from before, no one forced me to kill, and no one was guilty, but I had to raise a butcher's knife to them for my own sake.

I finally lost the slightest reason to defend myself, and became a heinous bastard through and through......

The wind in the night was cold, making my body tremble involuntarily.

Mom, I'm so cold......
