Suffering.

My heart was twitching, it hurting, and I couldn't even breathe.

Bitter.

My lips had been bitten from blood, but I couldn't taste the bleeding.

Remorse.

It's hard to imagine that a person like me can have feelings of remorse, like ants gnawing at my heart, that make my body tremble uncontrollably......

For the first time in my life, my heart welled up with indescribable remorse.

Obviously, I have made up my mind countless times in my heart to protect Xiao Wai's life.

Ming secretly vowed countless times to keep Xiao Ai away from the darkness.

obviously wants to block all the sins for Xiao Ai.

Clearly......

But what have I done now?

I asked Xiao Wai to kill someone for me.

I asked Xiao Ai to kill someone for me?!

I asked Xiao Ai to kill someone for me!!

The thought of this makes my heart feel like a tear!

It was I who betrayed my own oath! It was I who failed to protect Xiao Ai! It was I who forced Xiao Ai to go to hell step by step! It was my incompetence!

It's all my fault!!

"Ahhhh!!!h

Obviously so kind, obviously like animals so much, obviously she can't kill a chicken, and even a mouse can scare her......

Kind, pure, delicate, delicate, sensitive......

Such a girl who seems to be an angel was destroyed by my own hands!!!!!

It was I who destroyed the little mourning with my own hands!!

"Ahhhhh!!!!!h

The head was buzzing! A mouthful of blood almost spurted out!

Tears can't stop falling.

One drop.

Two drops.

Three drops.

Tears fell on Xiao Ai's face, and slowly slid down Xiao Ai's silky skin.

While laughing and crying, I carefully wiped away the tears on my face for Xiao Ai, and carefully wiped the blood on Xiao Ai's face little by little, and Xiao Ai's pure and pretty face was gradually revealed.

A sucker.

It's hopelessly stupid.

Didn't we make an agreement, you just have to watch me from behind, you don't talk about credit......

Xiao Ai closed her eyes tightly, her face was pale, and she was still fainting. The body twitches occasionally and unconsciously. Killing people with his own hands has brought too much impact to Xiao Ai!

It's not that Xiao Wai hasn't seen a corpse.

At the time of the organization, for the needs of the experiment, Xiao Wai had to face all kinds of corpses almost every day.

Regarding the concept of death, Xiao Wai has long been extremely indifferent. However, this is not the same as killing with your own hands. Xiao Ai's hands have never been stained with blood.

The resentment of the deceased, the splash of blood, the deep sense of guilt, and the boundless karma of sin, this kind of pressure is unbearable for ordinary people, and the impact on Xiao Mourning is also incomparable!

So, her body took the most faithful response - fainting.

This is rejection, but also evasion, the nature of small mourning, is kind.

"So, I'll take care of everything, rest assured, no one will know. I whispered to myself.

Yes, there are only two people on the scene now, me and Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai is still in a coma, as long as I don't say it, Xiao Ai doesn't say it, no one will know that Xiao Ai has killed someone, even if Conan knows, he will only suspect me. In this way, Xiao Wai can still be redeemed, and it will definitely be possible......

Self-deluded thoughts.

I knew very well that this was just wishful thinking. No matter whether anyone knows it or not, whether it will be punished by the law or not, people cannot deceive themselves. Once you have killed someone, everything is a foregone conclusion, and if you take this step, you will not be able to turn back.

However, I can only think like this now! I can only support myself with this ridiculous idea to prevent myself from falling! If Xiao Wai no longer has hope, if I can't protect the people around me, then what is the point of my existence?

Gently laying Xiao Ai's body flat on the ground, I frowned, supporting my scarred body.

It doesn't matter how serious the injury is, it doesn't matter how much blood flows, as long as you can win a glimmer of hope for Xiao Ai, no matter what it is, just come to me!

This belief gave me the strength to stand up.

The injuries on my body, except for the one in my left shoulder, were really insignificant, at most they bled a little, and made me a little weaker. Hennessy's pocket pistol was so small that it wouldn't have done any serious damage if it hadn't hit the nail on the head, but the wound to the left shoulder was different, it was so severe that I could even feel it, the bullet was stuck in my bone, and if I didn't do it, it would be very troublesome.

I staggered over to Hennessy's corpse, looked at her dead face, and smiled a little sarcastically. She probably couldn't have imagined that the one who killed her was only a little girl who was less than ten years old, and of course, she couldn't imagine that the little girl who killed her was Sherry.

Holding Hennessy's corpse on his right shoulder, he limped to the backstage with a drag, and the front of the hall was full of large floor-to-ceiling windows that could not be opened, but there were still small windows in the utility room in the backstage that could be opened.

Walking with difficulty, I suddenly tripped over something, I fell to the ground a little unprepared, and shone it with a watch-type flashlight, and in the dark background, Ruyue Fengshui was lying there!

Somewhat surprised, I stepped forward, sniffed slightly, and sighed.

It was too late, and the corpse had already cooled. I guess I didn't have time to evacuate and was killed by Hennessy, who was lurking here. It's pathetic.

Leaving it alone, I dragged Hennessy's body onwards into the utility room, and with some difficulty opened the window, lifting Hennessy's body up little by little.

The pain from the wound on my left shoulder caused beads of sweat to drip down my face, and it took a lot of effort to throw Hennessy's body down. It's close to the top floor, and it is estimated that by the time Hennessy falls to the ground, she will have already fallen into a pulp, and the police will probably treat her as a fire fall.

When the work of destroying the corpses was completed, I was somewhat relieved.

Returning to Xiao Ai's side, I sat down on the ground, and hugged Xiao Ai's body into my arms again, as if I felt something, Xiao Ai grabbed my shirt tightly, the long eyelashes on my eyes trembled uncontrollably, my lips were tightly pursed, and there was no trace of blood on my face.

"Well, I'm here with you, not going anywhere. I held Xiao Aibing's hand and muttered.

"Hey, we're here, you're okay here!" After I sat on the ground with Xiao Ai and talked for a while, Conan finally arrived.

"Well, we'll be home soon......" As if I hadn't heard Conan's words, I continued to say to Xiao Ai. I don't know if it's because I kept talking to her, Xiao Ai's body, which had been twitching from time to time, gradually calmed down, and the frightened look on her face gradually disappeared and became peaceful.

"Minghui-san, we're here, we've already called Officer Twilight, Ale, gray-bara-san?...... Ayumi ran to me with a smile and wanted to talk to me, but she was startled by the blood stains on me and Xiao Ai and let out a scream!

"What's the matter with you?!" Conan was also shocked to see the bloodstains on my body and the unconscious little mourning in my arms, but then calmed down and asked me in a deep voice, "Is there any danger?"

I kept my head down, and didn't respond to Conan's words, so that no one could see my face.

"That...... Minghui ...... Same...... Learn?" seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Mitsuhiko accosted me with some trepidation, and when he saw that I didn't react, he wilted, and Motota also shrank his head.

"Answer me!" Conan's face was filled with anxiety, "What the hell is going on?!Are you okay with Ashbara?!What's wrong?!"

"It's okay, it's all just a dream, and when I get home, I'll wake up from the dream, ......" I still fiddled with Xiao Wai's bangs to myself.

"Hey, didn't you hear me?!Are you alright?!" Seeing that I didn't respond for a long time, Conan became a little anxious, and reached out and shook it on my shoulder.

The wound on my shoulder pricked my nerves a little, and I looked up indifferently, and the indifferent look made several children take a few steps back, even Conan.

"Hey......" Conan, who didn't know what had happened, hesitated a little, and my demeanor was almost obvious to tell him that something was wrong.

"You don't seem surprised by Xiao Ai's appearance. I looked at Conan in silence until Conan writhed a little uncomfortably, and then I said quietly, "You seem to know that Little Mourning will appear." ”

"Uh!" Conan was stunned by my question, but he couldn't speak.

I've never spoken to him in such a cold tone.

"I see. I nodded and asked no more. The answer is already obvious, eighty percent of Conan's doctors saw Xiao Ai pitiful, and he couldn't bear it, so he secretly released Xiao Ai. There was only one key to the basement, but the doctor wasn't sure he would have any backup to copy another key or something.

The person who hurt my most beloved person was actually my own brother. Although it was only his unintentional mistake.

Hehe, haha, hahaha......

It's ironic.

"......" Hearing my suppressed laughter with my head down, Conan stopped talking. This kind of laughter made his heart chill a little.

The children were even more distant from me, looking at me as if they were strangers, and now I and the Edogawa Akiki they knew were two people at all.

"Get out. After laughing for a long time, I coldly spat a word out of my mouth.

I never thought I would hate Conan, my brother is the closest and most respected person since I was a child, even if the ideas are different, even if he doesn't understand me, and even hostile to me, I trust my brother as always, and vow to protect him thoroughly, Kudo Shinichi, is the person I longed for, close to perfection.

But at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little hatred for Conan......! It's killing intent!

The faint killing intent made me tremble violently! I actually had a killing intent towards Conan?!

I quickly shook my head and let the distractions in my heart go.

This is anger.

Obviously, everything is my own sake, and it has nothing to do with Conan, if I could hold on a little longer and kill Hennessy sooner, Xiao Wai would not have become like this. But I couldn't contain the anger in my heart.

Am I really headstrong......

"But your ...... hurt"

"Don't worry about it!"

"Minghui's ......"

"Get out!"

"Alas," Conan's face changed a few times, his eyes full of worry, but he still beckoned to the children, "let's go first, he'll follow in a moment." ”

Conan didn't ask me any questions about the injury, because he knew that in this situation, if he held on to it, not only would I not answer any of his questions, but it might even make the situation worse!, so he cleverly shifted the focus of the question, just concerned about my injury, and wanted to wait until my emotions calmed down.

I knew exactly what Conan was thinking, but I didn't break it, and after a few people left, I also said softly to Xiao Ai: "Now let's go home." ”

With that, I carried Xiao Ai on my back and limped to the top floor.

My leg kept bleeding, and several times, my foot went weak and I almost threw Xiao Wai out, but I finally gritted my teeth and survived.

Walking up to the tarmac on the top floor, Conan and a few children were already waiting for me there, and when they saw me coming up, their eyes lit up at first, and then they cowered a little, and stood far away, not daring to come near me.

Conan was keenly aware of the trembling body and a somewhat pale face, and a trace of unbearability and worry flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to speak several times.

I ignored a few people, carefully placed Xiao Ai in a sheltered place in the corner of the wall, and sat down against the wall next to Xiao Ai, and the blood stains on the wall made Conan frown.

"Whew...... Whew......"

I gasped for air, my face covered in cold sweat. A gust of wind blew, and the biting chill made my body tremble.

The body seems to be somewhat prostration. I couldn't help but smile wryly.

Even though I didn't want to show my weakness in front of Conan, my body really betrayed my physical condition to Conan.

Ah, the eyes are a little spent......

I reached out and rubbed my eyes, but unfortunately it didn't help.

Rumble!!!

Just as I was breathing a sigh of relief, not far from me, a bomb exploded! The tumbling air wave directly lifted me out! Xiao Ai survived because she happened to avoid that angle.

GIN！！！

Without any hesitation, I thought directly of GIN, Hennessy has been killed by Xiao Ai, and Ouyang is just a child, this arrangement is undoubtedly a means of GIN. Fortunately, I had already defused all the bombs before, otherwise we would have been very lucky today.

The body was thrown high, and the consciousness that was still awake instantly blurred. Although the impact was not too big, it was enough for me to drink a pot now that I was weak.

In the haze, Conan's desperate figure and undisguised eagerness caught my eye.

Ah~~Ah, in the end, do you still have to rely on my brother?

I'm so sorry to lose my temper with you, man, and in the end, I'm just a useless brother......

Consciousness is interrupted......

......

It's the smell of disinfectant water all over the nose again. How many times has this been? I can't remember exactly......

I opened my eyes and, unsurprisingly, saw the hanging bottle hanging in front of me.

I was covered in bandages, wore a neat hospital gown, and had a soft mattress underneath me, and now I even felt a sense of familiarity with the hospital.

Xiao Ai was lying on the side of my bed at the moment, sleeping peacefully, like a kitten. I smiled and stretched out my hand, slowly rubbing Xiao Ai's hair, my heart full of peace.

Finally, did you survive again?

That's nice......

"Are you finally awake?" "Not long after I woke up, Conan pushed the door and walked in with Xiaolan, Uncle Maori, and others.

"You're here. I replied lightly, still focusing on Xiao Ai's body.

"Xiao Wai's words, it's okay, it's just that I seem to have been a little frightened, and I recovered after two days of rest. Seeing that I was just looking at Xiao Ai, Xiao Lan hurriedly smiled and said to me.

"Yes," I smiled faintly and looked up at Xiaolan, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Well, four days, the doctor said you were too tired and needed a good rest. Xiaolan was a little uncomfortable by my attitude, carefully choosing words, her face was a little gray, and she looked at me with pity in her eyes.

"Hey, little ghost, what kind of attitude do you have?!, Ran, I've been worried about you for days!!!You're talking like that?!," Uncle Maori yelled at me in dissatisfaction.

"Dad!" Xiaolan glanced at Uncle Maori, stopped Uncle Maori's words, and then turned to me and smiled: "Xiaohui, you have to recuperate well, you have to take care of your body, go back to Sister Xiaolan to make you something to eat!"

"Thank you, Sister Xiaolan, I will. I smiled gently.

“...... Then we'll go out first, and you can take care of your illness. The atmosphere was a little awkward, Xiaolan said a word, and walked out with Uncle Maori, who was still about to say something, leaving only Conan behind.

“...... I'm sorry. There was a long silence before Conan spoke up to me.

"Why apologize?"

"I don't know what happened, but it seems that she was hurt because I released Ashbara......"

"It's none of your business, you don't have to blame yourself. I replied lightly.

"Regarding your gunshot wound, the Metropolitan Police Department, I have already dealt with it for you as Shinichi Kado, you don't have to worry. ”

"Thank you. ”

"The bullet from the gunshot wound on your arm has not remained in your body, and the bullet on your thigh has been removed, but your shoulder is ......" Conan hesitated for a moment: "The doctor said that because the bullet injured your shoulder blades and nerves, although the bullet was taken out, there may be sequelae, and you will not be able to do any heavy physical work in the future." ”

"I'm thankful I survived. ”

"I'm sorry. Conan stopped talking.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

“...... Can you tell me what the hell is going on?" Conan gritted his teeth and asked me the question in his mind.

"My identity was revealed, and I was approached by Hennessy. I said lightly.

"Is that the woman you said last time staying with Ouyang?!" At the mention of the organization, Conan immediately became excited again: "Where is she now?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing my brow furrowed, Conan immediately realized his gaffe: "I'm sorry. ”

"You don't have to apologize all the time. Hennessy's words have been killed by me. ”

"Uh!" Conan choked, then smiled bitterly, "That's really the case......"

"Aren't you going to call the police and arrest me?" I looked at Conan's somewhat distressed face.

"Arrest you? How can I arrest you? I have no evidence at all, and I can't even find the body of Hennessy that you said......" Conan sighed, "Besides, she has all killed, if you don't kill her, you will die yourself, right?" ”

I looked at Conan with some amazement, as if I had met him for the first time: "It's really not like you to say such things!"

"Yes. Conan smiled wryly.

"What about the others?" I was a little surprised that the little ones didn't come with them.

"It's not like you scared them that day. Conan glanced at me and snorted.

"I'm sorry. I smiled. At that time, I had lost my mind because of Xiao Wai.

"These are small things, but ......" Conan's eyes turned serious as he looked at me, "Do you feel anything wrong with your body?"

"Something is wrong?" I felt a pang in my heart, and then I covered it up, "No." ”

"Although I don't know much about your physical condition, and the doctor said that most of them were just skin injuries, but your eyes were scary that day, how can I say it...... The eyes are red like blood, as if something is wrong, you better pay attention. ”

"I see. My heart moved, and I made a secret note.

"Then you have a good rest, I'll go back first, I'll help you ask for leave from school, you don't have to worry. ”

"Good. I nodded, and watched Conan walk out.

"Uh-huh......" Conan's sound of closing the door made Xiao Ai wake up dimly, like a kitten washing his face, Xiao Ai rubbed his eyes with his tender little hands, and looked around in a little confusion.

When I saw that I was looking at her with a smile, Xiao Wai's face flushed slightly, and then smiled slightly: "Awake?"

"Well, wake up. ”

"How does it feel?"

"It sucks. ”

"What's wrong?!Is it uncomfortable there?!" Hearing my words, Xiao Ai panicked a little.

I sighed, reached out and touched Xiao Ai's face, and looked at her with pity: "It's painful, isn't it?"

Xiao Wai's tears flowed down. My heart thumped!

The trauma of the soul is not something that can be healed in a few days.

"No," Xiao Ai smiled tearfully and held my hand, "I'm fine." ”

"You're not trustworthy, you're just looking at ......me from behind," I said in a deep voice.

"If I'm just looking at you from behind, I can only watch you go farther and farther, I don't want to ...... like this" Xiao Wai stretched out a hand and touched my face, smiling: "I want to watch you by your side." ”

"Really," I sighed, "it's going to be hard, isn't it?"

"I won't regret it. ”

"Okay. ”

I looked at Xiao Ai's determined gaze and sighed slightly in my heart.

Fool, how can I be willing to let you accompany me......

——————————————————————————————

ps: yes~ Actually, I have wanted to reduce the number of words updated more than once, compared to six or seven thousand words at a time, two or three thousand words is too easy. Unfortunately, I can't. Even if it's five thousand words, I feel like it's too little. If I write a big chapter and then a small chapter, it feels like I'm fooling the reader, and the guilt is too great, so I give up.

If it breaks out, I actually told my friends in the group that I will do my best to break out during the summer vacation, which you can look forward to.

Finally, I wish you all a happy day.
