Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

The high-level gathering of the equipment group, which started with a formal meeting and ended with a tea party, came to an end at around nine o'clock.

Even though a light drizzle had begun to fall outside the window, Diogenes and the others still chose not to stay here overnight.

Karasuma Soshin didn't have it either.

Late at night, an inconspicuous black car was driving towards the city of London.

Although there were few cars on the road at this time and there were few surveillance cameras on remote roads, Karasuma Soshin still kept the car at a not-too-fast speed.

The rising fog enveloped the road, and the street lights on both sides could only provide effective lighting.

As far as the eye can see, the visibility is only two hundred meters.

In the passenger seat, Xiang hasn't said a word since he got in the car.

Today is his twentieth birthday.

Not only did he have a birthday party that was much more lively than before, but he also obtained the official authority of a senior code member.

Xiang was of course happy.

However, after a brief moment of happiness, he felt more lost and reluctant.

Gaining power is something that countless members of an organization dream of, but it also means that he will go to the area of ​​responsibility and perform his duties.

She can no longer follow Karasuma Soshin freely like before.

Hibiki followed Karasuma Soshin for a long time.

Excluding training in boot camps, daily private lessons, special training, and missions.

For most of the rest of the time, he was like a little tail, circling around Karasuma Soshin.

Whether he was processing documents, meeting his trusted subordinates, or entering the research and development laboratory, Karasuma Soshin never hesitated to bring Hibiki with him.

From this, Xiang knew that most of the time, Diogia and others who were high-ranking members of the equipment team were very busy.

Most of the time, there was no one else around Karasuma Soshin except him.

Email and phone are the most commonly used means of communication between each other.

We didn't meet very often before, and now it's rare throughout the year for us to get together and sit down and have a good chat like this time.

Xiang doesn't want to live this kind of life at all.

He didn't want to live a life like Diogia and the others, where they were in high positions but rarely saw Karasuma Soshin.

If he had a choice, he would rather just be a mascot of the equipment team with no real power and without having to worry about anything except missions.

Never grow up.

However, Xiang knew that his master had high expectations of him.

I hope he grows into an excellent and loyal confidant like Diogenes and his men.

So, in response to Karasuma Soshin's question, he answered firmly "yes".

Did Karasuma Soshin see it?

Of course he saw it.

He understood this child he had raised better than anyone else, and knew that Xiang had an extraordinary dependence on him.

For Xiang, getting used to separation will undoubtedly become the course he hates the most and is most reluctant to take.

But this is also a course that Karasuma Soshin is determined to make Xiang learn well.

In this world, perhaps someone will really meet someone who can walk with him/her for the rest of his/her life and never be separated.

However, Karasuma Soshin never put himself in this category.

He doesn't need it and won't want it.

However, Xiang still occupies a special place in Karasuma Soshin's heart.

Apart from revenge and protecting his mother, he placed almost all of his remaining positive emotions on Xiang.

Although this emotion will not affect his rational choice in the final decision he may face.

But before that, whether out of compensation or for other reasons, he hopes that the children he raises will be happy.

Karasuma Soshin knew that at this moment he just needed to maintain silence, and Xiang would not take the initiative to speak to him.

Tomorrow morning, Hibiki will head to the area he is responsible for, just like Diogia and others who left tonight.

Be familiar with the power in his hands and work well with his subordinates.

Then, we get used to separation, with each other meeting less than twice a year.

Karasuma Soshin originally planned to do so, but perhaps the tenderness that unconsciously revealed at the birthday party before affected him.

Or maybe, you want Xiang to attend the lesson on getting used to separation in a positive and happy state.

And got an excellent result.

In the silence so quiet that even the sound of drizzle hitting the car window could be clearly heard, Karasuma Soshin stared at the road ahead where visibility was getting lower and lower.

Suddenly he said:

"Today, Diogenes and the others prepared a birthday present for you, and I had prepared one too.

But I suddenly thought of giving you a different birthday present."

Xiang turned his head. The lights in the car were not on. Karasuma Soshin was looking straight ahead with a calm expression.

From his naked eyes, there was no difference from before.

Xiang couldn't tell what Karasuma Soshin was feeling at the moment, or why he suddenly said this.

But in his heart, a subconscious sense of anticipation and excitement emerged, which even he found strange.

"I like whatever the adults give me."

Xiang said this sincerely, he believed it from the bottom of his heart.

"My mother's last name was Edogawa before she got married."

Karasuma Soshin seemed to have just mentioned it casually.

“This last name is rare, and I have thought about changing my last name to Edogawa many times before.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work in the end.”

Hibiki listened in silence, and then heard Karasuma Soshin say the next sentence in a relaxed and calm tone:

“When you were younger, I just called you Damian, and then you got a code name, and I’ve been calling you by it.

Now that you are an adult, you should have a formal surname to be known to the public.

What do you think of the last name Edogawa? "

These words sounded like a thunderclap in Xiang's ears.

Xiang looked at Karasuma Soshin in disbelief, his pupils were so shocked as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred.

After a brief blank in his mind, intense excitement forced him to speak quickly to confirm.

"My Lord, are you serious?"

Do you really want to give me your mother's surname?

Karasuma Soshin nodded, his eyes always on the road ahead. The light from the street lamps illuminated his face for a while, then took it away.

"I think you will like this birthday gift more."

Of course Xiang liked it, more than any birthday present he had received before.

Even in the future, there will be no birthday gift that will make him like it more than today's.

Xiang was filled with happiness and kept smiling sincerely, even a little silly, until he returned to the warm house.

The last bit of deep-rooted uneasiness in Xiang's heart was quietly smoothed away, and he was like a curly-haired puppy who finally confirmed that he would not be driven out by his owner.

Even the dreams I have when I am asleep are happy.

The next morning, Xiang walked downstairs dragging his suitcase, full of energy, looking like a puppy going out to earn sausages.

She was filled with unconcealable positivity, without any trace of the loss and reluctance from yesterday.

Karasuma Soshin got up early and sat on the sofa. He put down the documents in his hand and sat at the dining table to have breakfast with Xiang, just like the previous few days.

Xiang frowned as usual as he looked at the milk at hand. He picked up the fried eggs, bacon and sausage on the plate, and with a painful look on his face he stretched his fork towards the vegetables on the plate, which contained far more vegetables than meat.

Finally, under the gaze of Karasuma Soshin, he drank the milk at hand.

"I have told Jin Bin that when you get there, he will monitor your diet while guiding you."

Xiang frowned unconsciously again:

“My Lord, I am already twenty years old.

No matter how much vegetables and milk you eat, you won't grow much taller."

Karasuma Soshin remained unmoved.

"I've read your test report. Your epiphyseal line has not closed yet, so there is still room for you to grow taller.

The longer it can be, the better."

Xiang had a depressed look on his face, and the curly hair on his head drooped down.

"It's just controlling your diet. It doesn't mean you can't eat meat."

Putting down the breakfast coffee in his hand, Karasuma Soshin walked over to Xiang and rubbed his beautiful and comfortable curly hair.

Xiang was not comforted by these words. Thinking about the pile of vegetables he would have to face next, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

"By the way, bring these documents with you."

Xiang looked in the direction of the sound, and the familiar style of the passport book made the light in his eyes light up again.

He couldn't wait to open it.

Next to the photo, the name Damian Edogawa was clearly written.

Xiang didn't expect to get the certificate so soon. He happily opened each certificate and looked at the name Damian Edogawa with satisfaction.

In fact, compared with a fake ID that cannot be traced, the chances of this ID being used are slim.

But for Xiang, it doesn’t matter whether it is practical or useful. What matters is the existence of the certificate itself.

Even if this set of certificates will never be useful in my life, it doesn’t matter.

He carefully put away his documents, and happily boarded the plane to other countries, wishing he could hold them all in his arms.

After breakfast, Karasuma Soshin did not go to the core base immediately.

While the intelligent machine in the house was busy washing dishes and clearing the table, Karasuma Soshin sat back on the sofa and continued to process the previous documents.

two o'clock in the afternoon,

Hidden away in a large industrial estate in North London.

In other words, the entire industrial zone can be called the third core base of the equipment group, welcoming the rarely seen Johnnie Walker.

After passing through layers of access control, Karasuma Soshin arrived at the core research and development area of ​​the base.

As soon as his left foot stepped through the door, a group of men, women, old and young, dressed in weird clothes, looking like a group of mentally ill people, immediately surrounded him.

"Johnnie Walker, did the adults tell me how to solve my problem?"

"Go away, I came here first, okay, Johnnie Walker, you take a look at my finished product first."

"You know how to respect the old and love the young, but you don't even know how to give way to an old man like me."

"Hey, hey, hey, you can squeeze me, but don't pull my clothes or my documents."

"Team leader, if you are old, please get out now. Don't compete with us youngsters. Be careful not to break your waist."

"Ouch, who stepped on my shoes?"

"..."

Looking at this group of core members of the R&D team who are huddled together, pulling my clothes and stepping on my shoes, making a noise louder than eight hundred ducks gathered together.

At this moment, Karasuma Soshin really wanted to withdraw his left foot, as if he had walked into the wrong door.

But first of all, he came here today just for this group of people.

Secondly, this group of people seemed to realize that Karasuma Soshin showed no intention of retreating, and the first action they took after surrounding him was to pull him inside.

He glanced at the old leader of the R&D core team who was holding his arm tightly.

Afraid that the old man might get hurt with just a move of his hand, Karasuma Soshin was dragged in with a sullen face by the entire team.

"Hurry, hurry, Lanbo, Grandi, lock the door for me."

The old team leader shouted with full energy.

Lan Pola, who was called, glanced at Johnnie Walker who had been dragged into the room, and quickly gathered the documents that were almost scattered into his arms.

Then he ran to the door quickly and pressed the lock button of the mechanical door.

With one of her shoes stepped on, Grandi threw the other high-heeled shoe aside and ran barefoot to the toolbox by the door.

He took out the tools and went straight to the control panel of the mechanical door.

First, he disassembled the control panel with swift movements, then pulled out the independently installed unlock button, and finally stuffed it into his pocket with great ease.

After doing all this, the two of them quickly surrounded him again.

Looking at this scene, Karasuma Soshin was silent for a few seconds, then looked at the old team leader seriously:

“Is it necessary to go to this extent?”

"Of course it's necessary."

everyone shouted in unison.

"Don't you think about how long it has been since you last came here? Don't even think about leaving here until you've stayed for a full month."

The old team leader complained while dragging people to his laboratory.

Now the others were fed up and started making a fuss.

"Team leader, you can't abuse your power for personal gain. If I don't resolve this, those little bastards under my command will rebel."

"Oh, you are as anxious as me. My manufacturing team leader has already slept on the floor in front of the cafeteria and has been waiting for me there from morning till night."

"Get out of here, yours is nothing. The purchasing team said that if there is any problem with my drawings again, they will blow up everything they have worked so hard to purchase.

They hanged themselves in front of my house, and then left a suicide note to send me to prison."

"..."

Mini-theater 1: Main World Card-drawing Movie-Gin's Weakness (Part 3)

Yueyawan was very suspicious that he had done a lot of evil in his previous life, so an external consciousness appeared specifically to defeat him.

Why not broadcast it at any other time, but choose to broadcast it that time?

Glancing at the limited edition red and black sneakers on his feet, Yueyawan silently retracted his feet.

On his left ear, he wore a ruby ​​earring.

An imperceptible red light flashed quietly, without being noticed by anyone, but the special consciousness hidden in the theater trembled unconsciously.

He doesn't want to do that either, it's because Mao Lilan has such good luck.

He can't win by relying on luck.

[More than an hour later, the tightly closed door of the box was pushed open from the outside.]

Realizing that the real culprit was about to appear, both the red and black sides widened their eyes.

[Gin put out the cigarette in his hand and said coldly to the visitor:

"you are late."

"I'm late, you should be thankful that I can come."

Yueyawan glanced at the row of cigarette butts on the table.

First he threw his coat onto the sofa next to Gin, then he squeezed himself onto it.

Picking up the untouched glass of Johnnie Walker, Yueyawan clinked it against the gin glass, then drank it in one gulp.

"I rode my motorcycle from Kanagawa right after work and drank the wind all the way."】

Hong Fang looked in shock at the eye-catching, unmistakable police uniform underneath Yueyawan's long black coat.

Toru Amuro immediately gave Fumi a look and told him to check on the person as soon as he left.

Rum looked at the list of organization members and found that this person was not a member of the organization. He said sinisterly:

"Gin, you're so close to a cop, are you going to betray the organization?"

Gin looked away with disdain and ignored it.

Vodka actively expressed his loyalty to his elder brother:

"No, big brother is loyal to the organization. That cop is a corrupt police officer who was instigated by big brother. Yes, he is a corrupt police officer."

Conan recognized the rank of the badge on Yuegamaru's chest and muttered in disbelief:

"Who would choose a patrol chief who is not even a deputy inspector to instigate a rebellion? Gin has to do it himself."

"elder brother."

Yasuyuki Sanada blinked in confusion, looked at his brother on the screen, then looked at his brother who had a wooden face and acted as if he was invisible and did not exist.

That face was identical to Yueyawan's, but the difference was very obvious due to their different personalities, and the easily recognizable face was filled with confusion.

Yuki Sanada, Kenjiro Sanada and others looked at Yuegamaru worriedly. They never thought that Yuegamaru would have any intersection with such a dangerous person.

Yueyawan stared at the screen expressionlessly.

He had already started thinking about how to get that external consciousness to agree and erase the movie-watching experience of him and Gin from everyone's mind.
