Chapter 92: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
"Oops, blood! She's bleeding from her neck! Murder!!"
"Murder!!"
This change was something that everyone present did not expect, looking at the sharp blade that pierced Tao Yinghong's neck, and the blood gushing out from the wound, Conan and Gray Yuan's brains seemed to have stagnated at this time.
"Ho-ho-"
Tao Yinghong's eyes widened, his mouth made a sound like pulling a bellows, and his body rose and fell stiffly as if he was out of the water on the shore, waiting for a dead fish.
The two eyes full of anger, hatred, and resentment stared at Conan and Gray Plains, her hands trembling and reaching out, twitching like chicken claws, as if trying to grab them and take them to hell with them.
But eventually, her hand hung limply, her head tilted, and she stopped moving.
As early as when Tao Yinghong took out a sharp blade, scratched Gray Plains, and stabbed Conan, the driver Wang Xingde had already opened the door of the bus and wanted to let Conan and Gray Plains go.
But at that time, the three of them were scuffling and had no time to leave, and Gray Yuan Ai also went directly to help Conan after barely standing up, but he didn't expect to fall down and let Tao Yinghong die by mistake.
"Mr. Driver......
"Go away!"
The driver suddenly lost his mind, got up directly from the driver's seat, and ran to the back of the car, Gray Yuan Ai wanted to stop him, but he pushed him aside, and by the way, he also pulled Kudo Shinichi up.
"You, how are you, you talk......
He held Tao Yinghong's shoulders with both hands and kept shaking, but at this time, Tao Yinghong was completely lifeless, and could only swing like broken branches and leaves with his shaking.
"Conan, Bomb ......"
Seeing the strong driver coming, Gray Yuan was a little anxious, and hurriedly urged Conan to stand up, but now Conan's eyes were straight, and he fell to the side in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
"Is it a post-traumatic stress disorder......
Seeing this, Ashbara's heart sank, and he immediately realized that Conan's current condition was the so-called post-traumatic stress disorder, commonly known as "PTSD", which is generally seen in some soldiers who have been stimulated on the battlefield, victims who have witnessed the psychological shadow left by the murderous scene, and also include cases like him who accidentally killed someone with his own hands.
Generally speaking, the higher the moral level of the heart, the easier it is to be affected and tormented by this emotion, especially a true saint like Conan, who even regarded "failing to save others" as a true saint who killed them.
On the contrary, it is much better to live in the dark organization and have seen those cruel and inhumane acts.
"Damn, Conan's brain should have been down by now, and there's a good chance that the driver would have detonated the bomb directly......
Gray Yuan Wai gritted his teeth, and with a ruthless heart, he dragged Conan up and fled out of the bus.
Although judging by the standards of the law, Tao Yinghong's death is difficult to be held accountable to them, even if it is not legitimate defense, at least it is excessive defense or manslaughter, and it is likely to enter a cycle, so they theoretically do not need to worry about prison.
However, Wang Xingde is Tao Yinghong's husband, who is sure that he will not be angry for a while, detonate a bomb at the crossroads and die with others?
Therefore, Gray Yuan Wai did not dare to gamble, so he could only try to get out of the bus that could explode at any time and escape with Conan.
As for the others...... She really didn't have the energy to care about them. Unlike Conan, she doesn't have the grand goal of saving humanity and saving the common people, but she has done her best to live it.
Conan was now like a walking corpse, a marionette, pulled away from the bus by Grayplain and walked off the distance - no way, both of them were injured and couldn't run at all.
At this time, there were already a lot of vehicles and pedestrians parked at the intersection, but they just watched Conan and Gray Yuan leave, no one thought about it, and no one dared to step forward, even to ask what happened.
First, it is the cliché that people are indifferent, and second, Conan and Gray Yuan are covered in blood, which looks strange and scary
No one dares to step forward easily.
"Really, you still want me to take you away......
"Boom !!!"
The two had barely walked out when a violent explosion was heard behind them, and a powerful shockwave knocked Gray Plains and Conan to the ground.
Vehicles and pedestrians in the vicinity were either directly swept away by the explosion or knocked down by the shock wave, plunging into chaos.
"Hmm...... Ahem......
Fortunately, Conan and Gray Plains had run far enough away from the scene of the explosion to be injured only a little and not killed. And Conan, who was in a state of brain downtime, seemed to be relieved by this shock.
"I...... Gray Plains, I, I just didn't ......."
Conan asked as he looked at his blood-soaked hands and asked in a trembling voice. But before he could finish his sentence, he was forcibly pulled in the face by Gray Yuan and made him look at him.
"Don't think about that now, you're badly injured and need to be treated."
"This time we just didn't stop the bomb from exploding, and it was no different from the previous times."
"What we need to do now is to protect ourselves and wait for the next cycle."
「……」
After some persuasion, Conan's eyes finally regained some focus, and he turned his head to look at the bus that was burning violently, and then looked down at his blood-stained hands.
"If the cycle continues, then everything will start over and everyone will come back to life."
"But that memory will always stay in my head."
"I...... Can it really be as if nothing happened? I'll remember, and you, too."
Looking at Conan's confused eyes, Gray Yuan didn't know how to persuade him. After all, she knows the temper of this high school detective very well, and even risked his own life in order to save people, and those who just "didn't save it" were enough to keep him in pain.
And one of these people is Gray Hara's sister, Akemi Miyano.
In a sense, Gray Plains is actually experiencing the powerlessness of "not being able to save others" with Conan. Maybe they don't know anyone on the bus, but what about their family and friends? What will they think?
Now, not only did they fail to save those people, but because of the accident, Conan was left with the trauma of "murder", which is almost equivalent to pouring a thick layer of sludge on his soul for Conan, who is committed to investigating the truth of the case and saving others.
Maybe the cycle can start again, and the dead can come back to life, but the psychological change can only be convived by Conan himself.
