Conan's Dark Night Festival

Evening night" these four words.

"Yeah, I was very tired yesterday." I followed her words and replied, with a helpless smile in my eyes, "So I fell into bed as soon as I entered the room yesterday, so I got up early today and came out to run when I was bored. run."

"Really, this is good. You usually stay up late at night to read books. Every time I go to your house and ring the doorbell, I get out of bed." The girl's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and then she raised her head to give me a cheerful smile. laugh.The blue sky just exposed to the early sun was pouring golden yellow, and a circle of golden velvet reflected the girl's bright smile. I was fascinated by it, and instantly felt that this scene seemed similar to something.Then he said what was on his mind without any hesitation.

"Angel?"

"Eh?"

"Ah, it's nothing, I'll go home first." I ran a few steps forward and waved to her, "Hurry up and catch up, I'll change my school uniform very quickly."

After I finished speaking, I turned and ran out of her sight.But is it really okay to tease her like this?Such a simple girl... the shy face of the girl she saw before turning around appeared in front of her eyes, it was really cute.Obviously he likes that boy named Shinichi.Ahh... I just took out the key and was about to open the iron door. I was dumbfounded by my gossip thoughts, no, wake up Zhe Yu Xiye.You are no different from a girl with pure love.Gossip and the like should be left to those young and beautiful girls.

"I'll go back..." I opened the doorknob, and before I finished speaking, I found a strange burning smell in the air.What does it smell like?It can't be that Dr. Ari is planning to set fire to the house for an invention... "Dr. Ari? Are you there?"

I tentatively asked a question in the silent air, but without getting the expected response, I put on my slippers and walked slowly to the living room.Empty, er, no one, can't really...

"Zheyu-jun, you are back." An old man's voice came from the kitchen on the right. I followed the voice and turned my head to look, only to see a dark-faced man smiling silly at me.

I was dumbfounded for a few seconds, and then I almost fell to the ground with a smile. I sat on the bar in front of the kitchen, with a naughty light in my warm blue eyes, and an innocent enough smile on my lips: " Dear Dr. Ali, can you tell me are you going to do science experiments in the kitchen, or are you going to change the kitchen to a new color on your face?"

"Eh?" He was stunned for a while, touched the back of his head in embarrassment and laughed, "Haha... how is it possible, am I going to make you breakfast? It turns out..."

Dr. A Li turned his head and looked at the mess behind him depressedly, "It turned out like this..."

"Tsk," looking at the unexpected concern of this old man whom he hadn't known for a long time, he felt a warmth that he hadn't seen for a long time.I quickly rolled up my sleeves, took off the apron hanging at the entrance of the kitchen and tied it up, "Doctor, the first thing to do when entering the kitchen is to tie up the apron, so that the clothes will not be dirty. Even this If you don’t understand the basic common sense, go to the bathroom now and take a good shower, and prepare to eat the breakfast I made.”

"But..." Dr. Ali just wanted to say something, I put my hand on his shoulder and pushed him out of the kitchen.

"Don't be but, no woman will like a big man who is so talkative."

"I'm already an old man, so I'm still a man..." Dr. A Li replied in embarrassment.

"But the essence, right? Doctor?" I smiled and stared into his eyes, seeing that he still wanted to refute something, and immediately issued an expulsion order, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and do more. Go take a shower."

As soon as the words fell, I turned around to clean up the messy kitchen without giving any chance, and Dr. A Li had no choice but to give up and ran to the bathroom.Looking at the almost tidy kitchen, I picked up the pan and placed it on the stove, poured in an appropriate amount of oil after turning on the fire, quickly cracked two eggs, fried the eggs and poured them into the plate.While cooking the cheese, put the toast into the bread machine by the way.It didn't take long for a table of simple breakfast to be prepared.

Dr. A Li also came to the bar after washing up. Seeing the kitchen as if reborn with an appearance of Enron and a table of breakfast, he widened his eyes in surprise, "Zhe... Zheyu-jun, are you sure these are all Did you do it alone?"

"What do you think? Is it possible that I still pulled you out of the bathroom to help when you are taking a shower?" I picked up the toast and gnawed it in my mouth, and vaguely cut off Dr. A Li who was about to speak, "But , My brain does not display the 'photo of Dr. Ali's jade body', it should be done by myself."

I conquered Dr. Ali with a bright smile. At this moment, his face has the helplessness of pampering a child.

While Dr. Ali was in a bitter battle with Cheese, I asked curiously with a fork in my mouth: "Doctor, I would like to ask you a few questions."

''kindness?what is the problem? "The doctor finally tore off a small piece of cheese and put it in his mouth with satisfaction.

"It happened yesterday. Didn't you just call me Shinichi yesterday? What's this person's last name? And where does he live? Is it near your house?"

"Uh..." Dr. Ali couldn't help being a little dazed after hearing my question, "I called you Shinichi because you look like him, and your voice is also. Shinichi's surname is Kudo, just Live next to my house. But why are you asking this?"

Kudo?I quickly searched my mind to see if I've heard the name before, but it turned out not.But that familiar feeling appeared so inexplicably, indicating where I was before, and at that time I called this name.Or, is it a name that is often on the lips?

"I'm not bored, it's not bad to learn more about the neighbors, is it?" I raised an eyebrow and shrugged with a smile.

"Yes, yes." The doctor looked at my face for a while with wandering eyes, and said.

Seeing such an absent-minded Dr. Li, I couldn't bear to know the truth even more, and asked again, "Hey, Doctor. That photo in the bedroom. Who is the boy with messy hair on it?"

It seemed that a bolt of lightning struck the doctor from the sky, and I saw that his movement of continuing to cut cheese froze suddenly, and the emotion in his eyes seemed to be indescribably painful.The doctor raised his head and smiled at me, "He is Shinichi's twin brother, named Kudo Xiya. You have the same name as Zhe Yu."

"Ah, yes, I said how he looks exactly like the boy next to me." I lowered my head and replied, with unknown guilt extending in my heart.

It seems that the pain point of the doctor has been mentioned.And it is impossible to face, seeing the doctor like this is escaping.Escapism or something.

"However, it's a pity."

"kindness?"

"He's dead," the doctor seemed to be talking to himself, and he continued the topic on his own, "The child died when he was so young..."

The words that came out of Dr. Ali's mouth really made me a little unimaginable.But it’s not enough to be moved to be sad with it, and it’s not appropriate to say that I’m unmoved. In short, my current expression should be described as a calm smile.

That's right, as a normal human being, such a reaction was too extraordinary, which caused the doctor's face to change from sadness to slight surprise.

"You...Zhe Yu, what are you laughing at?" His voice sounded incredible.

"Ah, I'm sorry," I chuckled, "I thought you were very interesting, Doctor, and then I laughed."

"Interesting?" His expression became more puzzled.

"Hey, doctor?" Sometimes I think humans are annoying, but sometimes I like it, like the doctor, "People who believe in something blindly are the most stupid. But you know what it is Is it more stupid?"

I saw the doctor's body stiffen suddenly, and the smile deepened.

"Those who clearly believe, but say they don't believe, are even more stupid." I got up and left my seat, and when I came to the doctor, my footsteps stopped, "Doctor, you must be clear. If you say the opposite, Kudo Yuya will really die."

Then, he walked back to the bedroom with a mocking arc, and when he closed the doorknob, he seemed to hear the doctor's whispered and desperate words.

——"Sure enough, you are different from that child..."

Is it different?

The sneer at the corner of his mouth turned into self-mockery.

Of course, I'm... Zheyu Xiye.

【Chapter68】Alive, but also like dead

"Hey——" I took out my phone and opened the text message to confirm the address again, "The organization's taste is really unique, and it's chosen in this kind of place."

It was around one o'clock in the afternoon, and the heat from the high sun was unbearable.And the abandoned factory in front of me, which looks dilapidated and even shows signs of being burned, is the research institute mentioned in the newsletter sent by Shiho a few minutes ago.Suppose, if a gust of wind blows suddenly and the factory collapses, I will definitely not be surprised at all.

Barely finding a place to get in, I slipped in through the gaps in the logs that had collapsed messily at the entrance.The scenery inside is exactly the same as I imagined a dark set, with dust floating around.Then what caught my eye was the rusty iron ladder not far away. Fortunately, the entrance to the basement was not set on the second floor, so I began to look for the entrance according to Shiho's method.

It didn't take long before I smoothly touched a different path on the north-facing wall.
