Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 355 Long Dream
Tang Ze lowered his head, glanced at the bouquet in his hand, and soon realized that he was dreaming.

Since time travel, he hasn't had a dream for a long, long time.

As Leon begins to say, his guests are not qualified for sweet dreams.As long as Tang Ze falls asleep, his consciousness will immediately wake up in the velvet room, and even if he chooses to continue falling asleep in the bar, he will only enter a dark, dreamless sleep.

This experience of clearly realizing that one is dreaming and being able to see the surrounding situation clearly is unique.

In his dream, he couldn't actively control his body's movements at all. He just watched himself walking in an empty white corridor.

A nurse wearing a mask hurried past him pushing a cart full of medicines. The slight beeping of the equipment approached and moved away, and a faint cry came from nowhere.

This is a hospital ward.

"Knocking".

Stopping in front of the door of a ward, Tang Ze knocked on the door, waited for a few seconds, saw that there was no response from the room, so he pushed the door open and entered.

A man in a hospital gown sat leaning against the hospital bed, turned his head and silently looked at the morning light outside the window, turning a blind eye to his arrival.

"Good morning, Shiho." Tang Ze heard himself say in a soft voice, "You seem to be recovering well. How are you feeling today?"

The girl sitting on the bed finally turned her head.

This is indeed Miyano Shiho.

"Well, your face looks much better." Seemingly accustomed to her silence, Tang Ze tidied up the flowers in his hands and began to put them into a glass vase by the bedside, "You'll get better soon, Zhibao .”

Miyano Shiho watched his movements silently, his expression was cold and unfamiliar, Tang Ze could tell the looming loathing between his brows at a glance.

In this dream, he and Miyano Shiho obviously had a bad relationship and were not familiar with each other.

"After being discharged from the hospital, what are you going to do?" Tang Ze still spoke to her in a soft and kind tone, "You are already safe, and during this period of time, I have eliminated the last hidden danger. Zhibao, You don't have to..."

"Stop talking." With a breathy voice, the person leaning on the bed took two deep breaths, his voice was trembling all the time, but his tone was unmistakably firm, "Get out."

Tang Ze paused for a moment when he placed the flowers one by one.

He glanced at Miyano Shiho's eyebrows, took a breath, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Shiho."

"Don't apologize to me." Miyano Shiho raised his hand and touched the bandage around his throat. It seemed that he had suffered some injuries that would affect the vocal cords. His voice was weak and hoarse, but this could not stop her from uttering every word , finished the rest of the sentence, "I should listen to you, the person who apologized, is no longer here."

Tang Ze inhaled again, letting out a gasp like a choked throat.

Tang Ze, who was familiar with his own state, knew that this meant that his emotions were a little out of control, resulting in fluctuations in his breathing rate.

"I have no right to blame you." Miyano Shiho continued to speak, gritted her teeth, with a pained look on her face, but she continued firmly, "I am also an incompetent person. But, I……"

She coughed painfully.

Tang Ze quickly stood up, walked to the nursing table on the other side, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her.

Miyano Shiho made a swallowing movement with difficulty, raised his hand, and pushed away the glass of water with subtle but unwavering force.

"You said that you can agree to any of my requests."

Tang Ze raised his eyes and saw a pair of blue eyes glistening with tears. The early morning sun illuminated the snow-white ward brightly, but it couldn't shine into these eyes.

"Yes," Tang Ze heard himself say, "I said so."

"So, my request is..." Miyano Shiho adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes, and leaned back on the bed, "Let's never see each other again."

"...It's a reasonable request that you don't want to see me." Putting the rejected glass of water on the bedside table, Tang Ze looked at the swaying water surface and smiled self-deprecatingly. Talking about confession is too hypocritical."

He sighed and took two steps back.

"I agreed to your request, Shiho." Tang Ze stepped back, watching Miyano Shiho, who was unwilling to look at him, gradually becoming a shadow in the sunlight, "Take good care of yourself. Just treat it for Mingmei."

After saying this name, Tang Ze lowered his head, turned around and left the suffocating room as if fleeing.

A hoarse cry of collapse finally rang out after he closed the door of the ward.

What is this...

It wasn't until he walked forward in silence again that Tang Ze had the time to think about what he had just witnessed.

Miyano Shiho didn't become Haibara Ai, but was seriously injured, and it sounds like Miyano Akemi didn't survive...

Then, "repentance", "never see each other", again...

In the dream he walked down the hallway without saying a word, down the stairs, out of the hospital, into the crowd, silently walked through the noisy street, and stood in front of the sidewalk.

It was working time at this time, and busy office workers and students crowded together on the wide roadside of Shibuya, shoulder to shoulder.

He was surrounded by crowds, but felt deep loneliness.

"Shinichi—wait for me—"

"Go slowly, there is still time."

High school students with bread in their mouths passed by him.

"Are you feeling better, Xiaolan? About Uncle Maori..."

"Well... I'm fine."

"……It will be fine."

"...Well, but, after that, I may move to my mother's side..."

Standing on this side of the road, Tang Ze turned his head and watched the boys and girls in Di Dan school uniforms walking towards the figure on the other side of the road.

"I'm sorry." Tang Ze heard his own voice resounding, as if he was talking to the two children, and it seemed to be echoing completely in his heart. The voice became lower and lower, and gradually became like it was suppressed in his throat. Choked up, "I'm sorry..."

----

"...Tang Ze, Tang Ze!"

Tang Ze opened his eyes, staring blankly at the blue light flickering in front of him.

The strong sense of loneliness has not completely dissipated, and his mind is immersed in the mournful cry just now.

Tang Ze seldom cries.

Oh, if you want to talk about acting, then he is indeed a guy who can close his eyes and start crying anytime and anywhere, but when it comes to crying from the pain from the heart, it is really rare.

But the him in the dream really sounded like he was about to cry.

What happened to make him break his defenses so much?Was that dream, some kind of hypothetical situation that might happen?

Or, is this some kind of early warning and allegory, reminding him that he must take good care of the Miyano sisters and the Mori family?
While he was still thinking about these possibilities, he suddenly felt a pull, and finally he came back to his senses.

"Where's the stretcher, is the stretcher here?"

"Let's move him directly to the flat bed, he doesn't seem to respond..."

"No, I can't move him. What if there is some internal bleeding? Let's carry him down on a stretcher first."

Before Tang Ze came to his senses and said that he was fine, several hands had already grasped his hands and feet, and someone even supported the back of his neck tenderly, pulling him out of the cocoon-soft seat come out.

Being carried out without explanation, Tang Ze's eyes widened.

"Wait, wait—" Seeing the medical stretcher getting closer and closer, Tang Ze struggled, "What are you doing! I'm fine, I'm just, I slept a little longer——!"
