Chapter 74: Saving People Doesn't Need a Reason
"Shinichi, where are you?"
The environment was dark and quiet, and the smell of rusty iron objects spread in the air.
Putting away her umbrella and stepping cautiously into the abandoned residential building, she was ready to take another small step forward, but she was frightened by the roar of thunder and shrugged her shoulders and her neck.
She was already afraid of the dark, and coupled with the warning of the unknown Japanese man, she was afraid that she would encounter a silver-haired murderer.
When she opened her eyes, she found a dark liquid dripping on the ground, she leaned down to take a closer look, and under the light of lightning, she found that the dripping liquid was not mixed with muddy rain... It's blood.
It's blood, could it be Shinichi? Something happened, could it be Shinichi him... Did you meet a silver-haired killer?
Mao Lilan did not hesitate, she got up and stepped up the stairs and walked upstairs, the sound of her shoes touching the iron steps, her worries outnumbering fear and turning into courage.
"Shinichi! Shinichi!! ”
Ritsu Sasashima, who was standing at the door of the abandoned building, raised his eyes to look at Moriran's back, he didn't expect that a girl who was not very brave would still be brave enough to find her partner even though she knew that this was a dangerous place.
The scarlet eyes gradually faded into indifference, and he turned into worry, he was actually a little worried about the safety of Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan... But with his current identity, what can he do to save people?
Mao Lilan, who was only Kudo, didn't notice that someone was watching her at the door, but she was about to come to the second floor and her figure flickered, she leaned on the railing and covered her head, and the symptoms of a cold appeared again... Is it because of the rain?
Ritsu Sasashima witnessed her stumbling upstairs, her thin lips pursed subconsciously, slowed down her pace to eliminate the sound of footsteps, and followed her upstairs.
Tread, tread, tread.
Footsteps from top to bottom, no responsive footsteps.
Mao Lilan mistakenly thinks it is Shinichi, and runs up with excitement on his face only to find... The person who appears in the field of view has long silver hair, a beard on his chin, and is still a Japanese man.
Her pupils twitched, and her left hand on the railing clenched hard, trying to ease the fear in her heart. But in this environment where no one will hear shouting for help, how can she calm down when she encounters a heinous serial killer.
She's just an ordinary high school girl, and the killer in front of her has a pistol.
Could it be that the blood is really the new one? Isn't that already a murderer... Mao Lilan didn't dare to continue thinking about it, she was afraid that she would have an emotional breakdown.
Ritsu Sasashima, who was hiding around the corner of the second floor, frowned, and he was hesitating whether he should help.
There was another rush of footsteps upstairs, and Kudo Shinichi leaned down on the railing and shouted, "Xiaolan, hurry up!" This guy is the silver-haired killer!! ”
Belmode, who disguised himself as a silver-haired murderer, didn't expect to meet Kiko's child here... With the kind girl who believes in the gods.
She also didn't want to kill anyone outside of the organization's mission, but if the two of them escaped, her mission would fail. It will even attract the group of kittens who follow the smell, and she doesn't want to be a fishy little dried fish.
"He's right, miss."
A gunshot wound to her abdomen prevented Belmode from standing for long periods of time, and she endured the pain and leaned against the iron railing, which she used as a point of support.
The pitch-black muzzle was aimed at the girl who had forgotten to run away in horror, and Belmode chuckled, "I thought I was hiding well, but I didn't expect to be discovered by that kid." ”
Figuring out the silencer from her coat pocket, she seemed to think of something, and said slowly: "If you hate it, then hate why the gods arranged such a tragic end for you." ”
But as soon as the words fell, and the pistol silencer could not be installed, Belmode felt her body fall to the side, she never thought that the iron railing was rusty... It seems that the gods did not arrange a tragedy for them.
The person who has a tragic end is herself.
The iron railing, corroded from within, was like a silent mockery of her life, like the environment she was in.
The stinking abyss, the black rose that rots from the roots, even if it is watered with blood, will not be stained with any color - it is a never-ending black.
If you fall from this height, you won't be able to move even if you don't die, and if you get caught by the FBI's kittens, you'll be in trouble.
Belmode tries to shoot herself before falling, and what she doesn't expect is... A strong hand gripped his leather jacket.
When he looked up, he saw the girl's anxious face.
The gaze she cast on herself was not fear, but firm. How did she manage to hold down the sinner who wanted to kill her? What the hell was she thinking?
Ritsu Sasashima at the top of the stairs obviously didn't expect Moriran to make such a move, and wanted to jump down to catch Belmode, but was stunned by this scene.
"What are you doing? If you don't hurry up and grab my hand, I won't be able to catch it if you don't hurry up! Maolilan shouted anxiously.
Just when her strength was about to be overwhelmed, another strong hand stretched out.
"Shinichi?"
Kudo Shinichi frowned, gritted his teeth, and said, "Damn, it really causes trouble for people." ”
Even if he was seriously injured, he still had good physical fitness, Belmode, who had been trained as a killer since he was a child, stretched out his hands and pulled into the railing, using his abdominal strength to endure the pain to let his body rise in the air and gently fall on the table.
She frowned and her breath was a little unsteady, and she asked with an inquiring meaning, "Why?" Why did you save me? Why, exactly! ”
Belmode, accustomed to darkness, has no light or gods in her world. If there were gods in this world, she would not have the code name "Belmode".
So she didn't understand, she wanted to know the answer.
"What's the need for a reason for this?"
The rain wet his bangs, the childishness on his face had not faded, he raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the silver-haired murderer in front of him with a firm gaze, and said the words that made the three people present deeply imprinted in their hearts.
"One person may have a motive to kill another, but to save someone in a hurry..."
Kudo Shinichi was not afraid because the muzzle was pointed at him, he stood in front of Xiaolan, and asked with a smile, "You don't think about it so much, right?" ”
“!”
Murder requires a motive to kill, but there is no need for a reason to save someone.
Ritsu Sasashima lowered his head and smiled, and he took a step towards the up, holding the backward Moriran with one hand. This girl is really kind and strong, and it reminds him of the girl who is in the organization but is still white.
Thinking about it, the girls I know... It doesn't seem to be simple, just like the one in front of me, who is obviously afraid but is reckless for others.
"Hey! Xiaolan! ”
Kudo Shinichi looked back in a panic only to find the white-haired man standing behind him wrapped in black, when was he standing here? Who is he!
White hair, scarlet eyes... Onizawa-sensei?
No, how could it be, how could Onizawa-sensei appear in such a place!
And Mr. Onizawa is the policeman he longs for, how can he be mixed with a murderer!
