My vest is beautiful

Not not to be afraid, but not to be afraid.

I don't know whether it is because they are too close, or because of the empathy brought by being a "peer", Edogawa Ranpo seems to have felt the collapse and despair from Shi Wu's body.

For a long time, the only emotions expressed by Shiwu are relaxation and upward positivity.He is working hard to make himself like an ordinary person, maintaining the same habits as "the past". He likes to look at the sky in a daze, and he likes the feeling of the wind blowing over his body.

It doesn't matter if you can't see it, the random brain makes his life no different from seeing it.

...but is there really no difference?

Not to mention everything that death takes away, but the ability to see things brought by blindness——

The meaning of the word "invisible" has never been more than the inability to see.following……

In fact, there is no memory, no, this word cannot be used, it is not really "remembering", it is just some images that occasionally flash in the brain like images.

It was like a faded photograph, his last impression of the world.With the passing of his life, the originally bright colors slowly turned into lifeless gray and black.

Shi Wu couldn't even see the surroundings of the picture clearly, nor could he tell where it was.He only felt that his brain was screaming crazily, and when his spirit could no longer bear it—the next second, someone would appear beside him intentionally or unintentionally, and the sound made him return to reality.

Even if there are no members of the detective agency, the system will issue six points in due course.Yes, just an ellipsis.

The connection between the system and Shiwu is very special. It feels like some kind of chat software. Silence is not silent, and an ellipsis will really appear in your mind.

You will clearly realize that the person opposite has never left even if he has nothing to say or expresses silence.

It was like this every time, before he had time to fall into it, someone could always grab his hand and pull him back to the side of the light.every time.

So Shi Wu has always been very grateful to everyone, so subconsciously he is even more reluctant to reveal what is wrong with him.

In other words, he himself did not realize his own problems.

Hiding the wound so that no one can see it, so it means there is no injury?No, maybe some people can heal themselves in such a difficult situation, but without treatment, more people's wounds will only be infected and fester.

"I don't want to lose sight of..."

Shi Wu didn't know what he was talking about, his spirit automatically entered the self-protection program, he was like a drowning person in the depths of the sea, he couldn't hear anything, and he didn't know what he said.

Only his blurred vision saw the small sail passing by on the sea level, so he tried to reach out.

"I can't see everyone's smiles anymore, I, I don't know if I have protected everyone..."

Losing vision does not mean that what you see is black—even, black has become a luxury at this moment.Because, in the world of the blind, even the color black does not exist.

"If I'm a little bit stronger - can I protect everyone better?"

Tokimo grabbed Edogawa Ranpo's clothes, and after such a long time after death, he finally revealed his own collapse and fragility.

"But I've worked really hard, I didn't run away, I didn't leave everyone behind, I'm really scared...I don't want to face him...he's really scary..."

Before dying, Shi Wu put his fears behind him, and only thought of killing the enemy. Because he upheld this belief and was firm in this thought, he overcame all his timidity and fear.

"My hands are shaking all the time, I can't, I can't fight him!"

His hands didn't tremble, his gaze was firm, even though the enemy pointed out his fear, he still stood up again.

"But no, in order to kill him, everyone has been waiting for this day for a long time... I have to hold him back..."

"Even if it's only for one minute, one second... I must persevere...!"

He succeeded, not just for a minute, not just for a second.His persistence and hard work caused real wounds to the enemy, and successfully delayed the time and the rhythm of the enemy. He protected his partners and let the enemy die in the hands of his partners.

"I……"

Shi Wu didn't know what the words he said were, from the first sentence he uttered, he felt the tinnitus similar to when he died.His brain was in a mess, memories from the past and after death, all seemed to be crushed, like sand grains in a storm, scratching his body and causing pain.

His past was never beautiful, he just found a delicate flower that represented beauty in these memories full of suffering, watered it with love and happiness, and let it grow slowly.

His life was too short, and the emotions contained in it were too complicated and turbulent.He accepted it all, he endured it all.He has never regretted everything he has done, and even after death, he can easily say that he has no regrets.

His world is too pure.

But just when he had accepted all the suffering and convinced himself, someone made him feel the beauty that can only be perceived by the living.

From the father-like emotion in the eyes of Mr. Yu Mori, the friendship of mutual trust and dependence between the partners brought by everyone in the detective agency.

Ranpo's care and love for him is like a brother-like feeling——

The lost memory coincides with the present, and Shi Wu sees the past in everyone in the detective agency.Even if he still can't remember who those people are... But the nostalgia and expectations from the soul are never false.

"...I want to be with everyone." He leaned against Edogawa Ranpo's shoulder, and the blood diluted by tears stained the other's clothes.

"I want to be with you all, in a safe and peaceful world..."

"I want to go to a picnic with them, they will prepare a lot of delicious snacks..."

"I also want to go to the amusement park with everyone... If someone is so scared that he cries, I will definitely go and laugh at him..."

"I also want to go to the beach, and with everyone, everyone will be very happy, because there has been no chance to relax..."

Shiwu's voice was hoarse and choked, and he grabbed Edogawa Ranpo's clothes tightly, creating another fold on it that would be disgusted by Mr. Detective.

Why would he accept the system after death?Even if the system at that moment behaved so nonsensical and untrustworthy.

Shi Wu finally knew the answer at this moment.

"...I want to see everyone's smiles. I-I don't want to die at all...!"

At the moment when he uttered these words, Shi Wu had been blurred by himself, concealed in the deepest part, and the desire to live that he hadn't even realized was finally revealed.

He fell slowly in the sea, and no one could save him.Because even he himself has withdrawn his hand calling for help.

However, at this moment, a slight shadow and a broken light appeared in front of his eyes.Someone passed by, saw him at sea level, and that person chose to jump off the boat—swimming towards him, grabbing his withdrawn hand.

"I won't let you die." Edogawa Ranpo firmly made a promise in his ear.

There is another person who has never grabbed his hand, but has been supporting Shi Wu's body, so that he never really fell on the bottom of the sea, so that he can still be seen by people on the surface of the sea, so that he can ask for help to everyone who passes by.

【I will revive you. ] The system said in an emotionless mechanical voice in his brain.

Shi Wu's nasal cavity was sore and uncomfortable, he blinked, and the overly soft emotions surrounded him, making him a little at a loss.The broken emotional fault, the tinnitus has dissipated after hearing the voice belonging to others.

Shi Wubu didn't know how to respond to these kindnesses, so he could only silently and lightly respond.

This happens every time.When things go horribly wrong, someone will always appear in front of his eyes and tell him that you are never alone.

It is also telling him that you came to this world to get happiness.
