magician under the moon

Mori Kogoro nodded, and then asked in a calm tone, but his palms were slightly sweating because of nervousness. Only then did Mori realize that even after many years, the nightmare-like fear still choked his throat like a tangled silk thread, "Kudo , Maybe I shouldn't ask this question... But, I still want to ask, how sure are you...?"

Yusaku Kudo did not answer directly, but asked lightly, "Then tell me first, how powerful the organization is based on your judgment."

Mori Kogoro's expression was solemn, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, "The organization has always been hidden in the dark, and it's hard for me to draw conclusions about how powerful they are. But..."

Kudo looked calm, "It's okay, this is a public place but it's safe."

Mori Kogoro looked around vigilantly, nodded, and said again, "The matter of Kuroba Kaito has become such a big mess, but the high-level police have never come forward to give a specific explanation. Especially for how Kuroba Kaito died. Yes, the sensitive issues of who Kaito Kuroba took revenge on and who was hurt by him are even deliberately downplayed. The same is true for the media, who have reported so much, but always focus on the relationship between Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori, exaggerating what Gossip about Romeo and Juliet."

Yusaku Kudo put his hand on his chin and listened quietly, this is his usual thinking action.

Mori Kogoro's eyes were burning, and his not-so-handsome face showed a trace of sternness and fortitude, which could vaguely show the demeanor of the police elite when he was young. "To be honest, this is very unusual. It is related to the operation behind the organization...then the power of the organization...is probably incalculable."

There was a flash of admiration in Kudo's eyes, "You can make such a judgment when there are almost no sources of information, Maori, your sensitivity is not inferior to that of the past."

Mori Kogoro looked pale, and calmly glanced at the man beside him out of the corner of his eye, he clearly understood the meaning of Kudo's words.He was implying that his speculation just now was correct, and at the same time indirectly indicating that he himself had intelligence sources targeting the organization.Sources of intelligence, is it really possible?Can the intelligence of the secretive and overly cautious organization that has been hiding in the dark really be obtained?Kogoro knew that Kudo knew the organization far better than himself, but to what extent did he have any connection with the organization?All kinds of confusions and questions flashed through his mind quickly, and Kogoro Mori's expression changed a lot. He had an urge to ask, but finally restrained his curiosity, because he knew that some things were not his own. It's okay to ask, since the moment he chose to back down for himself and his family many years ago, he has lost the right to explore the truth.

So Mori Kogoro showed a cynical smile, and said in his usual mocking tone, "Old man, don't play tricks on me, you haven't answered my question just now, you said many years ago that you want to destroy the organization, and I Knowing that you have never given up, do you have any chance of winning now?"

"It's impossible to completely eliminate..."

Kudo sighed leisurely, and said these words in a flat tone, which made Mori Kogoro's heart sink to the bottom for an instant, but he was relieved immediately, that's right, that organization is too powerful, and there are some things that he hadn't seen before when he was young and energetic. Qing, but now his heart is like a mirror.There are indeed some things in this world that are impossible...Maybe we should accept this reality and resign ourselves to fate...Maori sighed in frustration, so that he didn't expect to hear what Yusaku Kudo said next

"Although it is too difficult to completely eliminate it, it is not impossible to seriously damage the power of the organization." Yusaku Kudo's dark and translucent eyes flashed a cold determination behind the black sunglasses, and his originally calm and calm expression suddenly condensed into one With a sharp sharp knife, there was a faint murderous look, "It's hard to say the odds of winning. Not long ago, it was about [-]%, and now, I think it can reach about [-]%."

"Are you serious? Kudo!" Maori's voice was too loud, causing people around him to look sideways, but he couldn't care less about it.

Yusaku Kudo raised his eyebrows slightly, "What? Don't believe me?"

Kogoro's voice was flustered, "No, it's not..."

"The organization can be as strong as it is today, to a large extent because we are making it clear that they are hiding in the dark. Conversely, if our side is hiding in a darker place, there may not be no chance." Kudo Yusaku embraced his hands and used a He explained in a class-like tone like that of elementary school students, "This is called gaining wisdom by eating a fall."

Mori looked at Kudo Yusaku's calm and serious side face, knowing that the other party didn't mean to be joking at all, so he couldn't help being stunned.Kudo did not answer the other party's question, but turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the waiting hall.Mao Li also quickly followed his footsteps. The two walked side by side but neither of them spoke. The short tens of meters seemed extremely long. A lunge rushed to the front of Kudo, stopping Kudo from continuing to move forward

"Kudou, we tried our best to fight against it back then, but we couldn't shake the power of the organization at all. Not only that, almost all those who dared to fight against the organization died... and those who knew the inside story of the organization survived, only two They either choose to betray and cooperate with the organization, or they pretend to be deaf and dumb after not revealing their identities. A very small number of people who have never given up hope also choose to lie dormant in secret and wait for the opportunity. No one has dared to confront the organization for so many years. Their power should be even stronger." Mori Kogoro was a little excited, but he still did not forget to lower his voice, "Kudou, I don't understand, why do you still have such confidence that you have a [-]% chance of winning?"

Kudo raised his head slightly, the milky white moonlight in the dark night that even the dark clouds could not cover, gently outlined his side face, making his expression a bit hazy, "Brother Maori, since you chose to quit back then, Some things are better not to know.”

Mori Kogoro blushed instantly, his expression excited, "But, me!"

"Sorry, I apologize, I didn't mean that. I mean, for your safety, the less you know about the organization, the better." Knowing that he had unintentionally pricked Kogoro's sensitive nerves, Kudo instantly softened his tone , patted his companion on the shoulder reassuringly and explained, "How should I put it, we did lose back then, and we lost badly, but it wasn't because we underestimated the strength of the organization, but because something happened in the middle... Unexpected Unforeseen circumstances, or mistakes. It will cause irreparable losses in the end..."

Mori Kogoro turned pale instantly, his body trembling slightly, "I understand what you said, if it wasn't for me..."

"No, you don't understand, Mouri..." Kudo sighed deeply, looking straight into Mouri Kogoro's eyes through the black sunglasses, "You made some mistakes in judgment back then, but the most fatal mistake was not yours. Committed... What's more, we didn't fail completely, in fact, the strength of the organization had already been weakened by then..."

Maori was a little stunned, he felt his heart pounding, but he quickly regained his composure, and then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Kudou, you don't need to comfort me..."

Yusaku Kudo shook his head, "I'm not trying to comfort you, in fact, what happened back then... was actually a game, and everyone, including me, unknowingly became pawns in the game"

Mori Kogoro felt his mind go blank, and a cold air flowed retrogradely along his spinal cord, "Game? Chess pieces? Kudo, what are you talking about?"

"I also recently learned many of the facts... from a companion. For your safety, I cannot tell you the truth of the incident." Kudo paused, and said word by word in an unquestionable tone "But I still want you to know, Maori, what happened back then is really not your fault."

Mori Kogoro was completely stunned. He stared at Kudo Yusaku's face, hoping to find any signs of lying, but in the end he found nothing.How many nights I was awakened by nightmares, the scenes of the year, entangled my soul like a lingering nightmare, ravaging every midnight in the dead of night.He always asked himself over and over again, if he hadn't had a correct judgment on the strength of the organization, if he hadn't been eager for success, if he had chosen to adopt another method...then, would those companions still be alive...a kind of in-depth The fear and guilt of the bone marrow, like a shadow, almost crushed this originally strong man. If it wasn't for his family, he knew that he would have come to a dead end... Over the years, he has avoided everything in the past, stayed away from past friends, and even Willingly being a lustful and confused middle-aged man, a third-rate detective, taking these as fate's natural punishment for him... He really didn't expect that after eight years, someone would tell him that what happened back then , it's really not your fault...

"The strength of the organization is indeed strong, there is no doubt about it. To be honest, I also thought that the silver bullet that could destroy the organization could not exist. But extremes will reverse, and prosperity will decline. This is an eternal truth, and organizations are no exception. Yusaku Kudo stood upright on the spot, his angular profile showed a bit of determination, and he looked into the distance with deep eyes. In his black and white pupils, a passenger plane that had just taken off was like a white The sharp sword is piercing the black night sky. "What's more, after so many years, my companions and I have been working in secret without any slack."

Although the temperature outside the room was significantly colder, a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from Mori Kogoro's forehead, "Kudou, are you ready to do something?"

Yusaku Kudo raised his chin slightly, showing a slight smile, "That's not good, the [-]% chance of winning is still too small, and now, if I don't have more than [-]% certainty, I won't make a move."

Mao Li frowned, "[-]% chance of winning, is there such a possibility?"

"To be honest, judging by the current situation, there is not much hope, but it is hard to say how it will develop in the future." Kudo's serious tone changed, with a bit of teasing, "It's hard to say, I'm not a god, it's impossible Everything was expected."

Mao Li asked persistently, "Then what if the odds of winning never reach [-]%?"

"Then continue dormant." Kudo Yusaku's tone was flat, but it seemed to have a bit of wisdom and sophistication after the vicissitudes of life. "After all, we are different from those lunatics. There are too many people around us who need protection and are worth cherishing... unless The time comes, otherwise I will not act rashly. I would rather choose to preserve my strength and leave hope to our next generation."

Mao Li let out a long breath, "It's time..."

"That's right, wait for the opportunity." The cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit the face, leaving a little frost on Kudo Yusaku's black hair. "An ancient Chinese saying is good, do your best and obey the destiny"

"Although I don't understand your plan, but thank you for telling me this." A gleam of admiration flashed in Mori Kogoro's eyes, and he said sincerely, "I only realized when I saw you like this today. Maybe the silver bullet really exists!"

"That's right!" Yuu Kudo responded in a firm tone, his voice was not loud but exceptionally clear and beneficial, even the surrounding noise and chaos could not cover it up, just like the bright moon hanging high in the sky even though it was covered by dark clouds In an instant, but it can't hide its brilliance after all. "Who will win the deer, it is not yet known."
