What world is Lixiang in today?

"……hatred……"

"Why... didn't... go to..."

"Why... was... punished..."

"why……"

When Fugu Ling broke free from the darkness mixed with these unexplained malicious words, what caught his eyes was a sticky and disgusting scarlet.

is blood.

The field of vision is full of red and black, and all I can see are piles of corpses and blood that barely reaches the back of my feet.

There was a person standing in the middle of the corpse, and Jiang Gu Ling approached a few steps, intending to see who he was.Just in time, that man also turned his head to look at him, blood was all over his hands, his clothes, his whole body, his gray-blue eyes were filled with indifference and cruelty.

He knows who it is.

Wheat-colored skin and light blonde short hair,? Wearing blood-stained clothes so that the original color cannot be seen,? The jewels inlaid on the polo tie on the chest are all dull.

That is--

"You are--"

"Bourbon."

Jiang Gu Ling opened his eyes, pressed his chest and began to pant heavily, trembling and struggling violently like a fish thrown on the shore.

"Zero!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was guarding beside his bed - Jiang Gu Ling's childhood friend and now his follower, immediately reached out to help him up, and patted him on the back gently for his comfort.

Jiang Guling tightly grasped his hand as if grasping a life-saving straw, leaned on him and retched vigorously,? It took a long time to recover, physiological tears and cold sweat had covered his face .

"Zero..." Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at his hair boy worriedly, pulled out a few pieces of toilet paper from the bedside table and handed them over to him, watching Jiang Gu Zero hastily wiped away the tears on his face,? "Having that dream again ?"

"...Ah." Jiang Gu Ling was supported by him, and after finally adjusting his breathing, he replied slowly, "I dreamed of them—asking me why I didn't die...why I don't have to be punished... ..."

Those, the people who died under Bourbon,? Those innocent people who died because of his reluctance, or because of his help...

In the dark, they spit out bitter words to themselves.

"Then, I saw him again—"

"Bourbon."

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at Faxin who had been troubled by nightmares for many days, but he could only comfort him palely: "Zero, it's all over, it's over..."

"Ah... I know." Jiang Gu Ling closed his eyes, with deep dark circles under his eyes, "I know."

Who doesn't know this truth?But if you really want to let those things go, there is no such thing as a sentence.

No matter how righteous the purpose is, even if he has never forgotten his original intention, what he has done will never disappear,

Zhu Fu Jingguang wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say, so he sighed: "Sleep a little longer, I will watch over you."

"...Mmm." Jiang Guling lay back on the bed, raised his hand to cover his eyes, "Mmm."

What he didn't tell Zhu Fu Jingguang was——

In that dream, he raised his gun and shot "Bourbon."

"Bourbon" stood motionless and was shot by the bullet, and then he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and when he raised his hand to touch it, he felt a bloody bullet hole.

The man with the same appearance as him evoked a nasty smile: "Do you think you can kill me? Do you think you can get rid of me? Don't think about it..."

So he raised his hand and fired again. The same wound appeared on his and "Bourbon's" stomachs, forcing both of them to bend down. While spitting blood, he showed a cruel and wicked smile: "Hahaha... see? You are me, and I am you——if you want to get rid of me, you will kill yourself!"

"shut up!"

He rushed up and grabbed the man by the collar, but the man was confident and sneered with a mocking expression: "Executioner, devil, murderer, do you think this is calling me? No, this is calling you—— "

"To shut up."

This shot penetrated Bourbon's chest, and at the same time, he himself fell down. The blood spurting from his chest mixed into the scarlet under his feet, his hands and feet gradually became numb, and even the pain from the wound gradually disappeared. It was nothing but a nightmare, but the feeling of death approaching was so real.

Then he heard the call after the call—

"Bourbon—"

"Bourbon—"

"Mr. Bourbon—"

Really, you won't let me go until you die...

Thinking of this, he woke up from the nightmare.

Jiang Gu Ling opened his eyes again, in the darkness, he could see the extremely faint golden light emanating from his best friend and follower, as if emphasizing that the person in front of him had already died once.

Zhu Fu Jingguang noticed his gaze and turned his head: "What's wrong?"

"...No, nothing." He closed his eyes again.

Every time, every time, as many times as he killed "Bourbon" in his dream, he killed himself.

It was a nightmare he couldn't get rid of.

"Excuse me, ah... Furuya-san! I'm Kudo Shinichi!"

When Kudo Shinichi knocked on the door of Furutani Rei's house with a gift of condolences, the person who came to open the door was Zhu Fu Jingguang wearing a mask.

"Mr. Jingguang?" Kudo Shinichi's eyes widened. Although he was indeed the insider of Zhu Fu Jingguang's summoning, most of the time, the cautious former police officers would not let themselves be exposed to the eyes of others. The next opportunity to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

"Hmm... Kudo-kun." Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded to him, let him in and closed the door, "Zero is still sleeping."

"You haven't woken up yet, did you stay up late last night?" After all, Furutani Rei is not the kind of reliable policeman who would relax too much because of vacation, so Kudo Shinichi immediately asked, "I heard that Mr. Kazami said that Mr. Furutani It's been a little bad recently, even to the point where I need to take a vacation, so I'll come over to have a look..."

"Hmm..." Zhu Fu Jingguang hesitated for a moment. Although he knew that Kudo and Fuguya were very close and both knew a lot of each other's secrets, it was really inconvenient to talk about such a private matter as a nightmare.

At this moment, Jiang Gu Ling walked out of the house, looking very tired.

"Ah, An, Furuya-san!" Kudo Shinichi greeted him, "Sorry, did I wake you up?"

"No, I'm awake." Jiang Gu Ling replied casually, sat down on the sofa next to him, and rubbed the sore brow.

Zhu Fu Jingguang handed him a glass of water: "Do you want to eat something?"

"No need." Jiang Gu Ling shook his head, it wasn't a day or two since he couldn't eat.

"Mr. Furuya...is there really something wrong with your body?" Kudo Shinichi sat down opposite him, "Did something happen?"

"Nightmare." Jiang Guling laughed at himself, "It's just a nightmare."

"Look down on that kind of thing...forget it, I brought condolences, eat something, it's already noon." Kudo Shinichi opened the pocket he brought, in addition to his own, there are also There was Kazami who came here specially yesterday to inform him, but he didn't have time to visit Fuguya, "at least eat some fruit?"

"..."

"I'll get a fruit knife." Zhu Fu Jingguang also knew that Jiang Guling couldn't go on like this, so he ignored his words of rejection and walked towards the kitchen.

"What the hell happened, An...Mr. Furutani?" Kudo Shinichi couldn't help feeling worried when he saw that he was not as haggard as the person he knew who could handle the three identities with ease.

"No... nothing." Jiang Gu Ling showed an attitude that he didn't want to tell him.

To put it bluntly, things like auditory hallucinations and nightmares are all because he can't get rid of the past named "Bourbon". Everyone told him that it was not himself, it was not his fault, and that he should let it go and let it go. he went...

But how can he let go, how can he not hear those wailing and vicious curses, how can he deny himself as "Bourbon"?

I can only kill myself...

He heard the call again, and the voice kept calling him—

"Bourbon—"

"Bourbon—"

Unbearably, he jumped up and shook his fist in the direction of the sound: "Enough, stop shouting!"

This punch was easily received by Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had strengthened his physical fitness as a heroic spirit.

"Calm down, zero." Zhu Fu Jingguang threw away the fruit knife he brought, grabbed Jiang Gu Ling's hand and wrapped him in his arms, "Calm down!"

Jiang Gu Ling stared at him blankly for a moment, then shed all his strength and began to breathe hard.

Zhu Fu Jingguang had no choice but to support him, and then looked apologetically at the slightly frightened Kudo Shinichi: "Sorry, Zero...is not in a good condition."

"...I can see it." Kudo Shinichi raised his hand as if to push his glasses, but he realized that there was nothing on the bridge of his nose when he raised it halfway, so he had to touch the bridge of his nose instead, "So, tell me what happened What, maybe I can help."

"I see."

Kudo Shinichi touched his chin: "The nightmare started some time ago, and then recently added auditory hallucinations. The content is always calling you 'Bourbon', right?"

"Yes." Jiang Guling replied, and Zhu Fu Jingguang next to him peeled an apple, cut it into a neat crescent shape, inserted a fork and handed it to him, he struggled for a long time before he reluctantly took it and ate it .

"At the beginning, I only heard it in a specific place, and then it became more and more frequent..." Kudo Shinichi asked like a doctor, "When did this phenomenon start? Can you think of any opportunity?"

"The first time was because of a coincidence, I went to the original headquarters of the organization." Furutani smiled wryly, "I heard someone call me 'Bourbon' in that kind of place, and I was so scared that I almost drew my gun directly. I was also taken aback..."

"I was taken aback by you too." Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed, inserted another apple, ignored Jiang Guling's resistance and stuffed it into his hand, "Even as a follower, I have nothing Hearing, so basically it is definitely an auditory hallucination."

"That's it... What kind of call is it?" Kudo thought for a while and continued to ask, "For example, the volume and source of the voice?"

"It's like someone calling you suddenly from somewhere, it's near and far away." After Jiang Guling answered, he took the apple helplessly, and refused to put it into his astringent mouth. direction."

"That's it..." Kudo Shinichi was silent for a moment, and then he slapped his palm, "Why don't you just follow the voice and see?"

"Huh?" Jiang Gu Ling raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"It means walking in the direction where the voice came from!" Kudo Shinichi said it as a matter of course, "Is that voice only recently? Maybe it is to remind you of something, or should I follow along to find it?"

"Have you completely abandoned your world view based on the scientific system?" Furuya Rei, who was in a rather bad mood, sarcastically.

"It's two different things. Isn't the proof of unscientific existence sitting next to you?" Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes, "I'm still feeding you apples!"

"..." Jiang Guling looked at the apple that was handed to his mouth, and opened his mouth to eat it helplessly, "It's too much to eat..."

"Eat as much as possible." Zhu Fu Jingguang continued to insert apples and handed them to him.

Over there, Kudo Shinichi continued to talk about his theory: "Mr. Holmes said that people's subconscious will perceive more things than ourselves and try their best to remind us, especially those who often reason and pay attention to details. Believing intuition is Very important—so, maybe your subconscious mind is reminding you of something!"

"If it's really like what you said, why does my subconscious always call me Bourbon..." Rei Furutani shook his head, expressing his disapproval of Kudo Shinichi's statement, "I'll be fine in a while, you Go tell Kazami to let him not worry about it."

"It's not just worrying. Your condition is getting worse and worse recently. The frequency of auditory hallucinations is so high that you have to take a vacation. Don't be brave." Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed, patted him on the back, "Just go out for a walk, while you are on vacation?"

Jiang Guling looked at the smile of You Shunran and the sparkling eyes of the high school student in front of him, sighed a long time, and nodded helplessly: "Let's go... But the auditory hallucination is very uncertain, and I haven't heard it all the time. It's also very possible..."

As a result, they actually followed the auditory hallucination all the way to Café Poirot.

"Look." Shinichi Kudo triumphantly pointed to the opposite coffee shop, "Your subconscious has been guiding the way, and you didn't even let us take a detour, the fastest walk from your house to Poirot Cafe This is the only way to go, it really is your subconscious mind!"

"This is the coffee shop where you used to hide your identity." Zhu Fu Jingguang, who followed them with a mask and hood on, looked at the coffee shop, "Go in and have a look?"

"...No, I'm still..." Jiang Guling took a step back with some resistance. After that, he deliberately avoided coming here, because he didn't want to be recognized and called the wrong name to cause trouble, and because he wanted to discard it completely As Toru Amuro's identity.

After all, he is here, completely ending the life of Amuro Toru.

"Go in and have a look." Kudo Shinichi said, "Since your subconscious mind guides you to come here, you can't come here in vain."

"But……"

"Go in and have a look." Zhu Fu Jingguang put his hands on his shoulders, "Don't run away, Zero, go and see what your subconscious is leading you to discover."

In the end Fugu Rei mustered up his courage and pushed open the door of the coffee shop——

The doorbell made a crisp sound, like the sound of wine glasses colliding, like——

He froze on the spot, and then slowly raised his head for a long time, looking at the bar. On that day, he thought he had abandoned the past and started anew. He met a certain girl here for the last time. She toasted him and said— —

"Let's toast."

"why?"

"For Bourbon."

He looked at that seat. There were other people sitting at the moment. To be honest, it would be a strange thing to toast and drink "wine" in a coffee shop, but they were indeed in this place at that time, and they collided the cups lightly. .

So this is ah……

He heard the call, and this time, the indistinct voice became clearer and clearer.

"Is there a question, Mr. Bourbon?"

"I'll leave this to Mr. Bourbon."

"Mr. Bourbon! This way!"

"Thank you for taking care of me, Mr. Bourbon!"

"Mr. Bourbon—this is the order of the boss!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Bourbon!"

So that's it, you're calling me...

When everyone was congratulating "Jing Gu Ling" for his great achievements and eradicating the organization, only the girl said——

"To Boben."

It's been reminding me of this all along...

He returned to that dream again, and saw "Bourbon" standing in the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

But this time, he dropped the gun and walked slowly towards "Bourbon".

The past belonging to "Bourbon" or "Amuro Toru" cannot be discarded, because they are all the same person, and they originally belonged to the same person's past. If you deny that past, you will deny yourself. Kill the past, and you kill yourself.

"I will acknowledge your existence and accept you."

He opened his arms and embraced the blood and sin-stained self.

"Whether it's Toru Amuro or Bourbon, it's me."

"I will also accept those curses, so you deserve the praise I, Jiang Gu Ling received."

There is no need to calculate it separately from the beginning, even if the names are different and the choices are different, in the final analysis they are still the same person.

He smiled and hugged a part of his past more tightly.

"—to you, Bourbon."

Fugu Ling opened his eyes and found himself lying in the backstage lounge of the coffee shop.

Seeing him wake up, Zhu Fu Jingguang immediately leaned over: "You're awake, zero, are you okay?"

"Did something happen? An...Mr. Furuya?" Kudo Shinichi reached out and touched his forehead, "The body temperature is still normal—I was scared to death, and I almost called an ambulance for you."

"I...suddenly fell into a coma..." He sat up softly between his brows, "It's really... troublesome."

"It's not very troublesome. Mr. Jingguang borrowed the lounge on the excuse that you had a heatstroke." Kudo explained, "The shop assistants agreed when they saw that it was you... It was Toru Amuro."

"...It's okay." Furuya smiled, raised his hand and rubbed Kudo Shinichi's hair, "If you still can't get over it, it's okay to call me Amuro."

"Don't touch my head now I'm not a child!" Kudo Shinichi waved his hand dissatisfied, then looked at him again, blinked, "I think you look much better?"

"Is there?" Jiang Gu Ling tilted his head.

"Yes." Zhu Fu Jingguang sat beside him with a smile and poked his face, "Zero didn't smile very much in the past, but you smiled happily just now."

"Is that so..." Jiang Guling grabbed Zhu Fu Jingguang's hand, "Probably...it's like this..."

"Have you figured out something?" Zhu Fu Jingguang also smiled at him, the tacit understanding belonging to Xiao Shunran made him keenly aware of the changes that happened to Jiang Gu Ling.

"Probably..." Jiang Gu Ling turned his head, and he could see the sunshine through the window of the lounge.

"Reconcile with your past self, right..."

talk later

One day, Shuichi Akai, who disguised himself as Subaru Okiya, went to visit Miyano Shiho. He was forced into the car by high school student detectives and police officers as soon as he walked out of the office.

Akai Shuichi:?

He looked at Furutani Rei who was driving and Kudo Shinichi who was sitting next to him in confusion: "You..."

Kudo Shinichi tried to explain calmly while suppressing a smile: "That's right, Mr. Amuro wants to reconcile with his past, please cooperate."

Jiang Gu Ling made a sharp turn and almost threw both of them on the car window. He drove wildly with such force that he could almost tear the steering wheel off, and made a furious voice: "If it weren't for... I wouldn't have allowed You hateful FBI, get on my car! If you dare to get dirty, don’t use the car door and get out through the window!”

Akai Shuichi: I don't think this is about reconciling with me, it's about solving me...

They came to Jiang Gu Ling's house.

Before entering the door, Kudo Shinichi took out an instrument that seemed to be used for security inspection: "This is a tester used to check whether there is a listening device. Because the problem is very serious, you must be safe."

So he successfully cleaned up all the equipment that could be used for monitoring and monitoring Akai Hideichi's body, and even the mobile phone was left miserably at the door.

After finishing this, Kudo Shinichi sighed and put the instrument on his shoulder.

Then the instrument made a beep, beep, beep.

Kudo Shinichi:  …

Akai Shuichi: ...

Falling Valley Zero: ...

Kudo Shinichi showed a kind smile: "Who will explain to me, I have never been in contact with anyone except you two during my trip, who let this go?"

Silence, silence is Cambridge tonight.

"I……"

"I……"

Finally, the two spoke at the same time, and then looked at each other: "You?!"

Kudo Shinichi smiled more kindly.

Finally he removed a monitor and a positioning device from under the collar.

After a lot of jumping around, I was finally ready.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, finally lifted his spiritualization and appeared in front of this former partner.

Then Akai Shuichi was stupid.

He looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang who greeted him with a smile. After a long time, he slowly took out a cigarette from his bag and lit it——

A heavy punch hit the face.

"Don't smoke in other people's homes, you FBI! And what have you been staring at! Never seen it!"

Kudo Shinichi hurried over to help Akai Shuichi whose cheeks were swollen from the beating, and sighed in his heart: Why is Fugu Rei still treating Akai Shuichi like this when Momo Jingguang himself is standing here...

so vicious...

"So, it's the magic test, the part that can't be explained by science."

The seasoned FBI quickly understood and gave up on getting to the bottom of it: "I understand, I will keep it secret."

"It's great to understand." Kudo Shinichi smiled, "I knew Mr. Akai would understand quickly!"

"So, the 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'Moriarty' you mentioned at that time..." Akai Shuichi paused, and put down the ice pack that was originally pressed on the injured cheek, "Forget it, let's just pretend it never happened ,but--"

Facing Zhu Fu Jingguang and Kudo Shinichi, he remembered what Kudo said when he first got into the car: "The 'reconciliation with the past' is just a reason?"

"No, Zero is serious about reconciling with the past." Zhu Fu Jingguang replied, "So I suggest that he also talk to you, Rye—of course, I really want to see you."

"...I see." Akai Shuichi looked around, "I wanted to ask just now, what about others?"

"In the room, I'm probably not ready yet." Kudo Shinichi curled his lips, "After all, I punched you just now, and then again, you should apply ice again, it doesn't feel too good... "

"No need." Akai Hideichi stood up, "I'll go talk to him."

Kudo Shinichi looked at his back as he walked away, and then at Zhu Fu Jingguang: "Why do I feel that something is going to happen?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang calmed down: "It will be resolved."

"So you don't deny that something will happen..."

After Akai Shuichi pushed the door open, Furutani Rei was standing by the window with his back turned to him.

"I'm coming in." Saying this, Akai Hideichi walked into the room, "Boy and Scotland have told me about the details, it's really...it's great to meet you."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The man with his back turned to him interrupted him, "In short... In short, I can't forgive you for what happened before, but for Hiro's sake, let's settle the matter... And then, because before I hated you and did some things that didn't depend on the occasion, um... Also, that incident wasn't entirely your fault, so..."

Akai Xiuyi listened calmly to him sputtering a lot of words like pouring beans, until he got stuck, and then slowly said: "If you apologize, there is no need, I can feel that when you were hostile before, you just It's just venting my anger."

"What?!" Jiang Gu Ling froze.

"You don't really intend to kill me, so I can still resist this kind of venting..." Akai Shuichi calmly caught the fist that was swung at him this time, "Well, it's like this."

Jiang Gu Ling, who was exposed to the essence of his immature behavior, became angry from embarrassment: "Shut up, you bastard FBI, I really want to kill you now! I have always wanted to kill you!"

Kudo outside the door: ...

Zhu Fu Jingguang: Well, if the boys fight, the relationship will improve. It used to be like this in Zero Police Academy.

Kudo Shinichi: It's completely different!

Later, knowing that Akai Shuichi was kidnapped by Furutani Rei and Kudo Shinichi, the FBI members who came to check on the situation saw Akai Shuichi, who was in a good mood, with a bruised face, a swollen face, and a messy, drenched body, with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. Walk out from Jiang Gu Ling's house.

Judy: Xiu, are you okay?

Akai Shuichi: It's okay.

Judy: Your face...

Akai Shuichi: There was a fight.

Judy: Clothes...?

Akai Shuichi: After playing, I instinctively wanted to smoke a cigarette, but was splashed with water.

Judy: You...seem very happy?

Akai Shuichi: Yes.

Judy: ...

Coincidentally, a similar conversation occurred at the police station the next day.

Kazami: Mr. Furutani... went to see Shuichi Akai yesterday?

Falling Valley Zero: Yes.

Kazami: The wound on your face...

Jiang Gu Ling: There was a fight.

Kazami: Are you really... all right?

Jiang Gu Zero: All right.

Kazami: But I feel that you... are not in a good mood...

Furuya Rei: I'm in a good mood

Kazami: ...

It seems that the task of reconciliation between Furutani Rei and Akai Shuichi is impossible to complete in a short time.

The author has something to say: It’s a sweet little side story

In the future, there will be a side story, probably the story of Jiang Gu Ling breaking the principle and teaching a minor to drive.

Guda and Kudo: Furuya-san taught us how to drive!

Falling Valley: Impossible [Second Rejection]

Kudo: If you don't teach me...then I'll find Mr. Akai to teach us!

Jiang Gu: He can just try [the smile becomes more and more kind]

Akai Shuichi: ...

Don't dare to move. Don't dare to move.
