Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

One drop, two drops, three drops...

Water drops fell on the bluestone bricks, splashing small water droplets.

In the cold basement, Lin Yucheng curled up in a corner, sitting with his hands on his knees, feeling the coolness of the liquid touching his skin.

It's so boring. They lock people in the basement as soon as they are not satisfied.

What a silly trick. When have I ever been afraid of the dark? That gentleman made a mistake.

Lin Yucheng counted the dripping water drops out of boredom and gradually felt sleepy.

But he still couldn't sleep, because his fear of the dark would disappear, and the gentleman would find other ways to torture him. It would be better to endure a few days of boredom than pain.

,...

A dark and silent environment is most likely to confuse people's sense of time.

Lin Yucheng counted carefully, remaining curled up and shaking from time to time in pretense of fear.

The burning pain in the stomach caused by not eating for a long time had just eased a little when it came back like a tide, tormenting Lin Yucheng wave after wave.

He couldn't help but frown, and his mouth couldn't help but let out a low, suppressed groan of pain.

Hunger was like a ruthless hand that gripped his stomach and intestines tightly, squeezing and trampling them at will; and the extreme weakness caused by long-term dehydration made him feel as if his whole body was being drained dry, and he felt limp all over and couldn't muster any strength.

All these discomforts intertwined together, like millions of ants gnawing at his body at the same time, which was truly unbearable.

If the time interval between the falling water drops is one second, then three days and three nights have passed.

Lin Yucheng adjusted his sitting position slightly and buried his head between his knees. This position made him a little more comfortable, but the supervisor could not see his expression clearly, which might prolong the punishment.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Lin Yucheng still thinks freedom is more important.

So, after a short rest, he put his head on his knees again, with a look of pain that was three parts real and seven parts fake on his face.

——Damn, my stomach really hurts!

In the monitoring room, Gin stood behind a black single sofa, guarding the elderly man on a ventilator on the sofa in a protective posture.

The old man was panting, as if he would pass out from suffocation in the next second, but his eyes were still sharp, without any of the cloudiness of old age.

"Gin, do you think Hollands has learned his lesson?"

Gin's eyes were glued to the thin body in the surveillance for a long time, and he said in a deep voice: "Sir, you are wrong, he is Cointreau. - Hollands has been smashed long ago."

"Really... Yes, Hollands has been broken." The old man's voice was like a worn-out bellows. "Gin, do you know why I gave you this code name?"

"I don't know sir." Gin replied, "No matter what the code name is, it would be my honor. I will dedicate everything to the organization sir."

"Okay, good boy, don't be in a hurry to show your loyalty. I have seen your efforts." Karasuma Renya's tone revealed a bit of joy, "Because you and he both desire that code name, so, you and he are both Gin."

"Yes, sir."

"Don't you understand, Gin?" asked Karasuma Renya. "It's okay, you will understand it slowly."

Gin bowed his head and said nothing.

Karasuma Renya said, "Go and get Gin out. He's been locked up long enough. The child has grown up, so it's better not to be too harsh on him. Don't you agree, Gin?"

Gin leaned forward slightly, "Yes sir, I'll go right away. I'm sure Cointreau has learned his lesson."

Karasuma Renya chuckled: "Holans dotes on you and him too much. Spoiling a child is like killing him. This is not a good thing - fortunately you have always been obedient - go Gin, Jundu probably can't wait any longer, take him back, no need to come to see me."

Gin, who had never thought of using the word "obedient" to describe himself, was respectful on the surface, but felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly in his heart.

After saluting, he strode away.

Fortunately, his style has always been known to be decisive and neat, and does not make people feel anxious.

At the entrance of the basement, cold and damp air mixed with the smell of corruption hit Gin in the face. Gin signaled the guard to open the door and slowly stepped onto the slippery steps.

The basement was still dark. Gin stood at the exit. After adjusting to the darkness for a moment, he immediately found the short figure.

The man's hairy head slowly moved towards Gin at an extremely slow speed, as if every millimeter of movement required a huge amount of effort.

"Ah Zhen?"

Gin heard the man's hoarse voice calling softly.

Gin frowned slightly, but still responded: "The time is up, you can leave." After that, he no longer looked at the person in front of him, but turned around and stepped onto the stairs.

Lin Yucheng struggled to stand up. His legs seemed to have lost all feeling, and his whole body became extremely heavy. With great difficulty, he finally supported himself with both hands and stood up shakily. However, his steps seemed extremely weak, as if he might fall to the ground again at any time.

Gin didn't look back to see whether Lin Yucheng could really stand firmly. He just walked upwards step by step and soon disappeared at the end of the stairs.

Only after completely leaving the basement did Gin stop and look back.

At this moment, he noticed that Lin Yucheng's lips had cracked to a terrible degree, and his originally very fair skin was now completely bloodless.

But the strange thing was that Lin Yucheng's eyes were exceptionally bright, even a little scary, like two gems burning with flames. But in just a moment, his eyes returned to dead silence, like a mountaintop after a forest fire, only devastated.

Gin's heart skipped a beat when he was stabbed by his almost fanatical gaze. He frowned slightly, showing his dissatisfaction that the situation was out of control.

Some researchers had already come over and wanted to take Lin Yucheng for a physical examination. Gin had no reason or mood to stay any longer, so he pulled up the task list on his phone and notified Vodka to pick him up.

Seeing him coming and going in a hurry, Lin Yucheng silently complained: What a model worker.

The researchers informed Lin Yucheng about the inspection items, and Lin Yucheng listened absentmindedly: "No need to tell me, I will cooperate, let's go."
