unsaved world

That friend, like Yukikawa Rin, was one of the children selected as assassin candidates, and the only one who could walk into Yukikawa Rin's heart.

Xue Chuanlin has always been very clear that he is not such a kind person.

A kind person is only for others, but what she does is for herself and has her own purpose.

From the plane flying to New York, she realized that Kudo Shinichi is definitely a shrewd and wise detective, and she has too many secrets in her body, so she must not get in touch with him.

In other words, because of her previous contact, she needed to be more vigilant against this young detective.

For an assassin, concealing his identity is more important than anything else.

But on the old streets of New York, she still met him again, and it was when there was a crisis of revealing her identity.

If it is a professional assassin, she has only one choice, which is to eliminate this unstable factor, that is, this wise detective boy.

She had clearly foreseen the boy's death, so she didn't need to do anything, she just had to let nature take its course.

But because of the boy's similar appearance to that friend, she couldn't just watch him die.

From the first time she saw Kudo Shinto at the ski resort, she noticed that this friend had a very similar appearance to that friend. They had the same blue eyes, the same delicate features, and the same compassionate heart.

Assassins should not accept all emotions that may affect their judgment, including people's unconscious acts of kindness. They are wary of their surroundings, everyone, and anything that will bring danger and exposure.

So, she threw away that umbrella.

But she couldn't forget the boy's face that was very similar to that friend when he looked at her, because that friend, her heart softened uncontrollably, and turned back again at night when she had already left the ski resort. retrieved the umbrella.

Being emotional is the most stupid thing. She had witnessed that friend die in front of her eyes, but she was still stupidly holding an impossible expectation. Maybe the boy in front of her would be his expectation.

It's just that expectation, she must hurry up.

Therefore, after foreseeing Kudo Shinichi's death, she would choose to save him without hesitation. When Vermouth fell down the stairs, her first judgment was to prevent the rescue that might cause Kudo Shinichi's death.

Even though, she knew that such a move might cause the death of Mao Lilan who had reached out to save Vermouth.

Yes, she has never been kind, nor can she be kind. A person like her who has groped out of the dark mud has chosen to ignore other people's lives when her own purpose is important enough.

It is reasonable for Kudo Shinichi to hate her. An upright and fearless detective like him should hate a criminal with ulterior motives like her.

However, that friend will not.

Even when her friend was in endless despair and darkness, she would reach out and hug her without hesitation.

He won't look at himself like Kudo Shinichi, and won't look at him with disgust and irritability.

Even if he and that friend were in the assassination training ground where they could kill each other, even if she was already covered in sinful blood at that time, he would gently cover her eyes and say don't be afraid.

It's different from him, totally different.

Even if that friend knew that she was an assassin, he was extremely gentle, but even if he didn't know that she was an assassin, he would still hate her.

She knew all of this, clearly.

But she really misses that friend so much, even if she knows it's not, she still misses it, and she still can't help thinking about it.

That's why I have the time to meet him now.

"……Feel sorry."

Kudo Shinichi, who has a similar appearance to him, has a solemn expression, realizing that he has really poked someone else's sad thing, and his expression is a little helpless.

"No, I said too much." She took her hand away from her eyes, took out the key from her pocket, and stood at the door to open the door with the key. The moment the key opened the door, she turned her face and continued, " Come in, Kudo-san."

Her eyes were calm and clear, and there was a polite smile on her face, but it made Kudo Shinichi even more depressed. He had already touched her heart, and even entered the other party's room cheekily, which was obvious. It's not right, even if it's to find a certain piece of information, it's still too much.

But detectives shouldn't care about these, finding the truth should be higher than these, Kudo Shinichi took a few steps back, turned his eyes away in boredom, and said something helplessly and gave up.

"never mind."

After these words, Xue Chuanlin's eyes flickered, and after seeing Kudo Shin turning away repeatedly, he slowly pushed the door in.

In the room, the light was dim, there was a vague smell of blood in the air, and the ticking sound was too clear in the quiet room.

She narrowed her eyes, and the originally calm tea-brown pupils flashed a strange color, and the crimson that gradually overflowed contained killing intent.

"The detective has left."

The speaker was like gossamer, extremely weak. It was 148 hiding in the bathroom. She sat propped up on the edge of the bathtub, leaning her head against the wall, looking at Xue Chuanlin who had just entered the door, still smiling innocently and full of apology.

"Sorry, I didn't know the guy who would cause such trouble..."

Before he finished speaking, a saber flashed across his eyes, brushed against 148's cheek, and pierced straight into the wall behind him.

148 held his breath, remembering that he had heard someone say that 48 was best at using knives, especially small knives.

The wound that only grazed her cheek was her warning, the so-called mercy.

"I'm not interested in your affairs." Xue Chuanlin's tone was cold, and his eyes never fell on her. "Don't have any contact with me."

148 trembled, contacting Xue Chuanlin for the first time in these days to see her look so hostile, and also the first time to truly realize the fact that she was originally an assassin.

"Sorry, 48, I'm leaving now." 148 said apologetically, and was about to stand up.

"after an hour."

Yukikawa Rin walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room and opened the curtains with his hands. The figure of the high school student in the blue school uniform was still there.

She knew very well that even if the boy detective felt guilty by revealing his fragility just now, so as to make him give up the idea of ​​entering the room, with the boy's shrewd and cautious character, he would not leave easily.

"He's still down there, you have to wait at least an hour before leaving."

After a pause, she looked at 148 behind her again, "The knife just now belongs to you, right?"

The knife that attacked 148 was taken by Yukikawa Rin from Kudo Shinichi when he was close to him. Unsurprisingly, it was a witness and a murder weapon.

It was also when she got the knife that she knew that Kudo Shinichi was so sure that it was the assassin who committed the crime.

Most assassin organizations have a habit of assigning code names to assassins and erasing their real names.

The meaning given to the code is to keep people from knowing, but also to let people know.

In order not to let the police or other people know the true identity of the assassin, or to involve irrelevant people, but also to let people who belong to the assassin know, this is my goal.

Assassins like this will engrave their own codes or symbols on fixed weapons, just like the 148 on the knife just now.

148 did not answer right away, but turned around and pulled out the knife stuck on the wall. The word 148 was clearly engraved on the handle of the knife. Her eyes flickered, and she confessed after licking her lips.

"I killed the wrong person."

Yukikawa Rin turned around slowly, took out a few tissues, and walked to the bathroom.

"This time the mission was to kill the vice president of the game company, but I killed the company boss by mistake. Now the mission is less than a few days away. I must kill the vice president quickly, or I will die when I return to the organization." me."

Stopping at the door of the bathroom, listening to 148's words, she smiled frivolously: "What's the matter with the injury?"

"During my escape, I met the escaped murderer head-on. The murderer stabbed me while I was off guard. Later, when I went to assassinate the vice president, I was discovered by the forces around him because of the original injury. , It took a lot of effort to escape."

148 looked sincerely at Xue Chuan Rin, blinking at Xue Chuan Rin, Xue Chuan Rin patiently wiped away the blood stains in the bathroom, went to the toilet and flushed away the bloody paper, then looked at her slowly, as if jokingly said:

"Is the quality of the assassins selected by the organization so poor?"

"Ah?" 148 stared at her blankly, understanding her deep meaning, and looked away in embarrassment.

"Killing the wrong person, not knowing how to deal with blood stains, not knowing how to hide aura, blindly trusting others, and exposing wounds in front of outsiders." Xue Chuanlin counted the mistakes she made in detail, smiling indifferently, "Any one of them can't be ignored. It's a taboo for assassins."

After all, she had already walked in front of 148, bowed slightly, looked at her eye level, and asked lightly.

"Are you really an assassin?"

148 trembled slightly in her heart, but her expression remained calm. She twitched the corners of her mouth and explained with the fastest reaction:

"Maybe 48, you are always in the upper circle of business rankings, so I don't know. Among the assassins, there are also existences with relatively poor abilities. I belong to this kind of existence."

Xue Chuanlin looked at 148 with calm eyes, silently, but the other party was also calm, still smiling and confessing, as if he had never hidden anything.

After a long time, Yukikawa Rin smiled and said, "You really understand me."

"You are a senior I admire." 148 still replied calmly, "Of course I will know more about you."

Xue Chuanlin lowered his eyebrows and slowly stretched his hand towards 148's neck, his cold gaze carried a see-through smile.

"Did you know that there are actually very few channels for the assassins who have left the organization to obtain information."

Her voice was low and hoarse, with some meaningful pauses, as if a demon was whispering, and she showed an overly clean expression. 148 swallowed, feeling the temperature of her fingertips resting on the surface of the skin.

"After I left the organization, I obtained information through a financial planner who secretly ran an intelligence office. Of course, this is a very enthusiastic gentleman who is always willing to help me, and the charges are reasonable."

But in the next second, she turned her fingertips slightly, and what she took off with a dark force was the piece of skin on 148's neck that was very similar to human skin color. Turning over her fingertips, the chip with a faint red light was exactly the microchip. listener.

Yukikawa Rin glanced at 148 with a slightly awkward expression, turned his head skillfully and said to the miniature monitor:

"Right, Mr. Nakura."
