unsaved world

Hug, what does that mean?

48 has never really hugged others, and most of the time when she gets close to others, it is just to attack better. The action of purely giving each other strength is unfamiliar to her.

At this moment, when she saw 69 showing such an irritable or uneasy expression, and even forced a smile afterwards, her first thought was that she really wanted to hug him.

However, hugging him doesn't seem to make any sense, it doesn't make him feel relaxed, and it doesn't give him anything, it's just two people getting closer together.

Even so, she still wanted to hug him.

A few seconds after these words were spoken, the boy stretched out his hand to her, passed through her hair, and hugged her tightly in his arms. Between the heat and trembling, his face fell into her neck. She felt a little itchy as the heat sprayed from her shoulders, but she still raised the corners of her mouth and stretched out her hands to hug him back.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear something tremblingly said by the boy in a trance.

"if it is real……"

For Edogawa Conan, this is contradictory. He hopes that 48 is Xuechuan, but he does not want her to be Xuechuan. He does not want Xuechuan to have such a sad and painful situation as 48.

"...It's really her."

On the other hand, he hopes to meet Xue Chuan who is 48 earlier in the past, perhaps, so that he may replace that important friend to Xue Chuan.

"Enough……"

At this moment, he felt more and more like sinking into the deep sea, drowned by his overflowing emotions, his breath no longer belonged to him, his body no longer belonged to him, and in his memory, it was all about that person.

He couldn't refuse 48 who said this sentence, because on that drunk night, Xue Chuan said the same sentence.

When he had sent her home, she was half leaning on the door frame, her cheeks were reddish, her eyes were squinted, she smiled at him vaguely and softly, and said that sentence.

"I really want to hug you."

While he was hesitating, she had already approached unsteadily, and when he was afraid of falling to help her, she fell into his arms softly, and the hot temperature due to drunkenness was conveyed through touch, trembling a little In the meantime, she gently stroked his hair with one hand, and said.

"Kudou-san seems a little unhappy today."

At that time, the other hand on her back patted his back lightly.

"I'll hug you, don't be unhappy, okay?"

When he was drunk, Xue Chuan would be like a child, and he couldn't help but hold her tightly in his arms.

"it is good."

Unable to tell whether it was the present or the memory, he said the word muffled, and when he was in a state of confusion, a mature voice made him suddenly regain his senses and raised his head.

"Don't fall in love at such a young age."

Behind 48, Master No. [-] put his hands behind his back, raised an eyebrow, and met Edogawa Conan's eyes, showing an expression of watching the show.

Edogawa Conan immediately let go of 48, his ears turned red, and then he was about to pull 48 away.

No. 48's eyes fell on 48 deeply: "[-], come with me."

Edogawa Conan immediately looked at No. [-] vigilantly, but No. [-] still had a contemptuous smile, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"You go back first, don't wait for me." 48 followed No. [-] after finishing talking to him.

Edogawa Conan looked at her leaving figure, hesitated for a moment, turned and walked to the dormitory, really, what he should do now is to figure out his own situation.

On the other side, 48 followed No. [-] to an empty office. After stopping, she turned her hands behind her back, her brows and eyes were flat.

"48."

No. [-]'s eyes were quite complicated and mysterious, and he asked lightly.

"Are you planning to cooperate with 69 all the time?"

"Yeah." 48 looked up at him, the person in charge of the assassin training had always valued her, and she didn't reject it.

"Then you'd better pass the training quickly and reach the assassin standard." No. [-] reminded calmly, "The gladiatorial fight will start in a week."

Hearing this, 48 ​​looked serious and his eyes sank.

Here, there are three ways to become an assassin. The first one is the most common. You can become an assassin directly by accumulating points in each training and the number of people killed in the training. There is a trouble that must reach the top three in the total points of assassin training.

The second is to kill the No.1 points who have been in the organization for a year and have not become assassins, and directly become assassins.

The third type is the most cruel, only twice a year, the only person who survived is selected from the 99-man gladiatorial, that is to say, only that one person has to step on the corpses of [-] people to survive.

Among these three methods, 48 ​​knows that if she wants to be with 69, the third method is absolutely not allowed, but according to the regulations of the candidates, if she cannot pass the first method to become an assassin within two years before the gladiatorial, Will be selected into the ranks of gladiators.

That night, the dark lights above the ceiling passed in front of his eyes again and again. After Edogawa Conan made various guesses and confirmed with others the major events that happened in the world at this time, compared to the parallel world, he traveled to In the past this one may indeed have been bigger.

If it is true to travel back in time, then at 48's current age, he will indeed be the same age as Xuechuan ten years later. Could it be Xuechuan's long-lost twin sisters? This kind of thunderous ethical drama is not impossible .

Of course, there is another even more unlikely conjecture. Apart from his own subjective feelings, objectively speaking, it is possible that 48 and Xue Chuan are the same person. For example, he has never met Xue Chuan’s parents. For example, he It is also not sure whether Xue Chuan really can't fight.

Moreover, the most important thing is that if it is the same person, then what he said and what he did seem to be connected with the later Xuechuan.

Suddenly, that absurd thought once again occupied his mind, and his whole body tensed up as if frozen, only those tight eyes could prove his breathing at this moment.

If it really was the past, and she was really Xue Chuan when she was a child... wouldn't it be possible that the self she trusted was "that friend"?

That, the person he wanted to replace so much.

However, for the detective who believed in the evidence, all the guesses at the moment were just theoretical speculations. The key point was that he had other evidence to tell himself that they were not the same person.

He stretched out his arms, spread his palms, and squinted his eyes slightly, feeling a certain temperature and touch in the bright or dark light.

When Xue Chuan was drunk, he hugged her and touched her body through the clothes. In the slender and bony closeness, he felt more frailty. Yes, Xue Chuan's body was soft and messy. No matter how much it had to do with alcohol, he didn't feel the muscles that his body had trained for a long time to show without exertion.

But 48's hug is different, her body has pungent blood, a tense body feeling, and long-trained muscles when touched, which is completely different from Xue Chuan.

Under the impact of emotions and the world in which we live, there have been too many chaotic moments, but as a detective who has dealt with many mysteries, even if it involves extremely addicting emotions, when he can't help himself, he still has due reason , can keenly notice the difference between the two when hugging.

Compared with all guesses, this kind of personal evidence is obviously more trustworthy for a rational detective, but what is worse is that no matter how reasonable the reasoning result is, he still harbors a desire for another result.

Thinking in this way, he turned his body sideways, just in the direction opposite to 48, and after a few minutes raised his eyes, he found that she who was sleeping on the opposite side also had her eyes open, and her eyes were all on him.

He was a little startled, and whispered with his mouth: "What's the matter, are you insomnia?"

48 shook his head, said in a low voice but earnestly: "No, no, I, I just want to..."

Stuttering, her cheeks were flushed, and she continued softly, "I want, I want to look at you."

Her words were too frank, which surprised Edogawa Conan a little, and then he bent his eyes and smiled, and comforted him in a childlike tone:

"It's not like I won't be able to see it tomorrow, so go to rest early, and be careful of getting sleepy during training."

"No, 69." 48 was still serious, remembering that he always insisted on his own ideas to fight against No. [-] before, and asked in a low voice, "You will leave, right?"

If it is really time travel, he who does not belong to this world will definitely leave.

A girl's sixth sense is always weirdly accurate, which made Conan a little ashamed, but he still showed his usual relaxed and calm smile, and did not answer her question, but whispered softly.

"I'm with you, 48."

48 blinked and heard him continue.

"From the first time I saw you, I felt that you are different from the people here. There are too many complicated and cruel things here, but you are clean, clean that no one can understand, so I will always think about it." With you, only with you can I feel at ease."

His words were serious, with a clear and bright light shining in his eyes, he described her existence so differently and defined it so important without too much embellishment.

In his mouth, all the terrible things about 48 have been re-determined, and there seems to be another explanation for all the bad things.

She looked at the boy in front of her, and the sourness and suffocation in that moment made her vision gradually blurred, and then she heard the boy panicked.

"48, are you crying?"

48, who was slow to react, blinked blankly, stretched out her hand to cover her eye sockets, the hot wet feeling pressed against her fingertips, and that strange feeling hit her instantly, making her not know how to react for a while.

"Don't, don't cry." Edogawa Conan panicked for a moment, "I, I'm a little panicked."

When this sentence fell, 48 came back to his senses in an instant. She hurriedly wiped away her tears with the quilt, rubbed her face to adjust her expression, and said:

"Okay, okay, no, I didn't cry."

Her stuttering and slightly clumsy look made Edogawa Conan tremble uncontrollably. In that long night, the drunken Xue Chuan also suppressed the restrained tears severely, and murmured Words like crying or not.

For some reason, he said something like that in a daze:

"I don't want you to cry because of someone else."

The others he mentioned were only Xue Chuan's friend. At that time, Xue Chuan cried because of that friend. She, who had always been strong and distant, shed tears because of that weak person.

After saying this, he reacted suddenly, and immediately covered up, "No one is worth your tears, nah, girls' tears are very precious."

"You are also very precious." 48 could not understand the complicated emotions, but said softly, "I am very glad to have met you."

Before she said these words, Edogawa Conan, who was already cautious, could fully confirm whether 48 not only trusted himself, but also really relied on him, willing to believe and follow every word he said .

The famous detective lying on the bed lowered his head a bit, and his eyes hidden under his bangs flashed a bit shrewd and grateful. He had to admit that in order to confirm 48's attitude towards him, most of the time his words and approach contained temptations. At the same time, because of her similarity with Xue Chuan, he even gave her most of the good things he wanted to give Xue Chuan.

Whether she is Xuechuan, or an ordinary person who has some connection with Xuechuan, he has already developed a deep emotion with her.

"Hey." He opened his lips, and his voice was a bit lingering, "Me too."

It is sincere.

The only thing that made him feel real in such a cruel and bloody world was not pain, but her.

Whether it was because of her skin that was so similar to Xue Chuan, or because of her kindness and bottom line, he felt that he was not alone in his situation.

Is it a parallel world, or the so-called past?

Edogawa Conan can't really be sure, trapped in a mysterious organization that can't know the outside situation, the only reason for him to feel that he really exists is the girl in front of him.

At least what is certain is that, no matter in the past world or the parallel world, he must take her out of this place.
