magician under the moon

Today's sky is not so-called overcast, not full of haze and ominous atmosphere, on the contrary, it has swept away the lingering shadows of the past few days, cloudless, clear and transparent.People like this feeling, because human beings have been afraid of the dark since ancient times, which comes from the innate instinct of human nature.Human beings use all possible wisdom to light up the night, but they have never thought about how lucky people who fear the dark and love the light are actually.

The truly unfortunate are those whose souls are burdened with heavy shackles. They do not like darkness, but fear light even more.Because for such a special group of people, the sense of guilt is like a slow poison that gradually invades the lungs, corroding and festering the already devastated souls.

So, in such fine weather, ordinary people who have suppressed their resentment for a long time finally found a chance to look far away freely, let their hearts breathe freely and freely, and enjoy the blessings of nature.It's a pity that for those people who are ruthlessly imprisoned by the shackles of their hearts, the beautiful scenery shrouded in light is reflected in their eyes, but it is like a silent irony, which makes people somewhat feel ashamed and desolate.

Hui Yuanai probably belongs to the latter.

It was early winter at this time, and although the river surface was not frozen, the piercing water still made those who approached it shiver uncontrollably.Walking along the river, it is not difficult to find that the trees, flowers and plants on both sides of the river have already taken off their original fresh camouflage.Sometimes I have to sigh, God is really not fair sometimes.When the spring is warm, God remembers to use a green coat to make the icing on the cake.However, on a chilly day, the last shelter was taken away like a stone, and the dead branches that were already ashes were alone to resist the increasingly threatening cold wind.

"Hui Yuan, you've strayed too far. If you have something to say, just say it!" A boy came from behind, with a helpless voice

The chaotic and complicated thoughts were finally successfully exchanged at this moment.The footsteps showed no sign of stopping.

"Grey Yuan!"

"Don't talk, just follow along!"

"Ah? Hey, Huiyuan, I don't have that much time today. You know, Kaidou will go to the court this afternoon. I have to prepare some things in advance!"

"I know, it won't take you too long, just let you stay with me for a while, can't you? Great detective!"

Conan froze for a moment, obviously, Haibara's tone was somewhat humorous, but he couldn't hide the desolation behind it, so he frowned slightly. 'Stay with me for a while?When did Haibara say such a thing...?"

"Conan, how long has it been since we met?" Haibara's voice suddenly asked leisurely without giving Conan any more time to think.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Six months, whether it is long or short, passed peacefully like water, quietly, but left indelible marks in their respective hearts.

Haibara didn't answer, and Conan didn't speak anymore, and the two just stood there quietly, one behind the other.A group of pure white homing pigeons, lined up neatly, hovered low in the blue sky.The breeze blows, and the water surface under the bright sunlight shines on, with layers of ripples, a very beautiful artistic conception, almost unreal.

"Thank you," Haibara Ai turned around, and stared at Conan with a smile in her mist-drenched eyes. "I have always been very grateful to you for taking care of me."

"Don't say that, we are friends. Besides, you have taken good care of me, of course, except that the medicine you developed has made me smaller. However, it is not your fault."

Haibara did not answer, but looked at the other party with an extremely complicated look.Conan was taken aback, and put away his teasing tone, "Huihara? You..."

"Friends?......." A bitter smile quietly unfolded on his lips. 'It's just you, think so.Conan, you wouldn't think, I...forget it, now that I've made up my mind...now is not the time to think about it...'

"What's the matter, you seem to have something on your mind... don't you..."

"Conan, if, I mean if..." Haibara Ai spoke again, but as if she didn't hear the other party's question, "You can become bigger, and you won't be hurt because of it." Will you choose to become the original Kudo Shinichi if anyone hunts you down?"

Conan frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled.

"I mean, isn't life just as good now? What you have now is actually what many people yearn for, because it means that you can use a brand new way to make up for all the shortcomings you have had in your growth... ...Moreover, you have higher wisdom and more experience than the people around you. In your future life, you will be able to get everything you want. The so-called myth of rejuvenation is based on this Fantasy. Look, don’t you also have new friends now...have a new start, have a chance to choose your own life again, don’t you think this is also very good?”

Although these words were uttered with vague anticipation, although they were extremely obscure, for a person like Hui Yuan Ai, who was used to burying all his emotions in his heart, they were already extreme.

"Huihara, it's not that I haven't thought about what you said. If there is no organization, would it be a very interesting thing to start my life again. But..., no, I can't do it , you understand, because in Kudo Shinichi's world, there is one person I can't let go..."

Hui Yuan didn't have any expression on his face, but the taste in his heart could be described as mixed.A thought that I would not dare or want to think about in normal times flashed through my mind.

'So what about Edogawa Conan's world? ......'

He opened his mouth, but still didn't ask, but buried the words that maybe shouldn't have been said in a deeper corner of his heart.But the moment he chose to bury it, Huiyuan already understood that he had lost his only chance. The sentence in his heart, from today onwards, I am afraid that he will never have the chance to say it again.

"Mao Lilan, that's right, you're right..." Hearing the expected answer with my own ears, I didn't feel the tingling pain I imagined, but I was calm, "I'm sorry, I'm really, Say stupid things."

"No, I think this is very good. We have been together for so long, and you are rarely able to talk openly with me like today. Sometimes, I don't even know what is going on in your heart."

"...Is that so!" A bitter smile climbed up the corner of Huiyuan's mouth again, and he had to admit that reality is like this, sometimes absurd and almost ironic. '......You are wrong, Conan, I have not, and never will, be open and honest with you......Because I am afraid, this is the last conversation between us. '

"Actually, there is a saying..."

"Since you have made up your mind." The confusion and wavering in Huiyuan's eyes have been replaced by firmness and determination, "Then, I will give you a chance!"

"Opportunity? Huiyuan? What do you mean?"

There was a complicated look in his eyes, but it was hastily covered up so that no trace was revealed. "If you really make a choice...then...this...is the last gift I can give you."

Slowly raise your right hand and spread your palm slowly.A red pill lay silently in the palm of the hand. Due to being soaked by the temperature of the human body for too long, the surface of the pill was slightly damp

"This, this! Could it be... yes!"

"That's right, this is the antidote for APTX4869!"

"You... you said... what!"

"Didn't you already hear it? The antidote to APTX4869!"

"Haven't you never developed it? Why..."

"That was before...all things change if there are the right reasons."

"......"

What is the first reaction of people who have been waiting in the dark for too long when they see the long-awaited light?Not ecstatic, but subconsciously blocking the line of sight.Maybe it's because I've gotten used to the darkness before I knew it, or maybe it's because the light came so suddenly that it was scary.Fear of the Illuminati disappears again in the same way.

"What's the matter, isn't this what you've always wanted? It's really in front of you, and you don't want it anymore?"

"No, it's not, I just...."

"Swallow him, from now on, you can get rid of the identity of elementary school student Edogawa Conan, and become a high school student detective Kudo Shinichi again... Go back to the world you used to live in... ...Of course this also means that starting today, you and I are destined to be people in two different worlds...."

Sensing the strangeness in Haibara's expression and tone, Conan couldn't figure it out, or his subconscious was unwilling to sort out his thoughts, so he asked tentatively, "Huibara, don't you want to change back?"

"I don't want to!... This is the best way to treat me." The firm tone and decisive eyes were matched with a brilliant smile, which unfolded on the lips.

"That's right." Seeing that Haibara's expression instantly returned to his usual calm and calm, Conan breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that what he saw just now was just a momentary illusion of his own. Today, life now, is a better start."

"That's right, it's a pity..."

"What a pity?"

"It's nothing..." He lowered his eyes silently, as if he was indifferent, but there was a bit of loneliness in memory and sadness in reality, "It's a pity that you have no chance to see... .... Please forgive me for making a decision without authorization, because I have no other choice! '

"Huihara, no matter what your choice is, please believe that I will always support you." The boy's voice came leisurely, calm, indifferent, but true "Even if I change back to my original self, in my world, And there will always be a place for you. Because you have always been a partner I can rely on."

"........"

The sunlight, through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the tree crown, gently sprinkles the mottled light and shadow on the girl's beautiful and soft face, giving the indifferent and desolate paint a layer of luster.A breeze blew through the swaying branches, silently.

An unexpected sentence, as if it could penetrate people's hearts, caused slight ripples in the already stagnant state of mind again.The breath in the air is very similar to the touch of Mandheling coffee when you swipe the tip of your tongue. It is bitter but sweet, and the contradiction is intoxicating.

'Conan...if you have no intentions for me...please don't...give me such tenderness...'

The long silence is not because there is nothing to say, but because there are too many things to say, but at such a moment, I don't want to, and I don't want to say it.

".......Thanks......."

The thoughts in my heart were surging, and the only thing I could say was these two simple words.The mixed flavors in it can only be understood by the parties concerned.

"It's me who should thank you!"

Without any hesitation, he took the red pill, raised his head, and swallowed until it slipped into the esophagus with difficulty.It's a pity that due to his tightly closed eyes, Conan would never be able to see that the corners of Haibara's eyes were already wet with tears the moment he swallowed.

"Huh...strange...."

After waiting for a long time, there was no heart-piercing pain as imagined, but the body gradually began to lose control, and the limbs and even every finger were so stiff that they could not move.Everything in front of him also began to distort, and all kinds of irrelevant colors were mixed together, like a weird modernist painting.

"How is this..." Before the future could finish the last sentence, darkness had become the only color mixed in this grotesque painting.

Before losing consciousness, only a low sob was vaguely heard in the ear, making it difficult to tell whether it was a dream or reality.

"I'm sorry, Conan, I'm afraid I can only make this choice...."
