Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 239: Stepping into the Darkness, Toru Amuro Meets Elena

The sentient beings in the desire realm see all kinds of colors!
[Vanity] Directly points to the original desires of all living beings. Even if a firefly's love is limited and it dares not consume it wantonly, burning a little love in an instant can also have a good effect.

In short, the machine gunner on the helicopter was distracted for a moment.

Yingsheng didn't care what he saw or thought at this moment, he just raised his hand and threw a grenade.

Then he raised his gun and aimed, bang!
The grenade exploded in the air!

Tsk, which guy is so good at shooting that he could hit the grenade before him?

The fire was everywhere and Yingsheng couldn't aim at the machine gunner, and the machine gunner couldn't aim at the person jumping off the building.

Hotaru turned the gun and emptied his magazine at Amuro Toru who had just appeared in the lobby on the first floor. The tall figure disguised as Vermouth turned and fled. Hotaru immediately ran after him and passed by Hanakage Hope who was carrying Miyano Akemi.

"Did Big Brother just reveal his true form as a god?"

At this moment, Huaying's eyes were full of longing.

"Look at what's written on Miyano Akemi's email, write down Akai Shuichi's email address, cancel the send, turn off the signal blocking, and we can talk slowly."

Yingsheng spoke very quickly, but remained quite calm.

With the murderous intent, Yingsheng and Vermouth were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that they would meet in just a few breaths.

boom--!
There was a sudden gunshot behind him. Yingsheng jumped forward without thinking. The bullet hit his bulletproof vest on the back. The strong impact force destroyed his body balance. Yingsheng rolled on the ground and threw a grenade behind him with his backhand.

Is this guy Toru Amuro pretending to be a loyal follower of the brewery again?

What are you talking about? You just shot the grenade to pieces. Didn’t Vermouth see it?
There was an explosion behind him. Yingsheng shook his right hand and drew his left hand across his waist. One magazine fell and another magazine flew up, completing the mission handover immediately.

Load, aim, shoot.

Da da da da da da da——!!!
It's really hopeless.

In a shop on one side of the street, a burst of gunfire as dense as a typewriter suddenly rang out, covering both Yingsheng and Vermouth.

While dodging hurriedly, Yingsheng finally understood that Amuro Toru wanted both of them.

I hope there is someone chasing me over there?
From this perspective, Toru Amuro is probably an undercover agent of some local force. He can dispatch armed helicopters. Is he a Japanese public security officer?
More murderous intentions were brewing, and Yingsheng didn't plan to continue playing with these guys.

Vermouth has appeared and the game is over.

puff--! ! !
Like a bursting watermelon, juice spurted out instantly, and red and white particles flew everywhere like stars in the sky. The tall headless knight ran a few meters by inertia, and fell to the ground with a bang with the blood fountain on his neck, splashing a cloud of dust.

Yingsheng heard the splashing sound of the gas mask and was stunned for a moment.

Vermouth, dead?
hiss--! ! !
Yingsheng quickly looked towards the direction where the gunshot came from. This situation was really beyond his expectations. Didn't Amuro Toru want to capture a person from the winery alive?

Ok? !

Is it the woman with a brown mushroom head?
And still laughing like a lunatic?
Yingsheng was even more confused now. Logically speaking, the winery sniper knew what happened on the overpass and should be able to guess that this person was Vermouth. Shouldn't he be captured alive?

What's going on now?
The dense gunfire like a typewriter paused slightly, then sounded again. Yingsheng had no time to think. He grabbed half of the human skin mask that flew up with the broken meat, and started to flee. The tenacious Amuro Toru chased him again. Yingsheng picked up a stone at the corner, turned around and threw it.

Toru Amuro quickly shrank his head.

When he realized he had been tricked, he could no longer see any trace of Yingsheng. Amuro Toru leaned against the wall, looking around vigilantly, and spoke with a gloomy face:
"Inspector, did you find anything on the helicopter?"

"That person is very agile and is very good at taking advantage of blind spots in buildings. He is extremely difficult to lock onto. We have already gone after the Black Organization's sniper. Sorry, Zero."

The voice in the communication was also quite low. After a few pauses, he asked, "Judging from the performance of that man and the masked little girl, they are at least not completely on the same side as Vermouth. Zero, do you have any idea about their origins?"

"Absolutely not."

Amuro Toru sighed: "However, judging from their performance in rescuing people, they should be in a cooperative relationship with Vermouth. I just don't know which side contacted which first."

"I sent people to chase them, maybe there will be gains. Itakura Taku should still be in that building, I also sent people to search carefully, Zero, you don't need to show up."

It was a very reasonable arrangement. Undercover agents were supposed to stay out of sight, but Toru Amuro just smiled bitterly when he heard this:
"There was an organized sniper here just now, and my identity might have been exposed."

The other party was silent for a few breaths: "From my perspective on the helicopter, when you fired the grenade, she hadn't shown her head yet. When she came out, you were avoiding the grenade and hiding behind the bunker. From her angle, she shouldn't have been able to see you.

Sorry, Zero, if you ever want to come back…"

Amuro Toru interrupted, "I see. I will verify it carefully. I understand what you mean, Officer. I paid such a high price to stay hidden, and I am not willing to give up."

He smiled and said, "Besides, I have a legitimate reason to be here. As long as the organization doesn't see through my actions from beginning to end, I will be fine."

The man on the other side said solemnly, "Thank you for your hard work, Zero. The fact that this happened to the organization shows that there are big problems within them. I am sure that the day when the organization will be completely destroyed will not be too far away. By then, everything will be over."

Amuro Toru smiled slightly: "I'm looking forward to it."

The sky was dark tonight. Toru Amuro looked up at the thick clouds covering the moon, put his hands in his pockets, and walked into the darkness.

All kinds of thoughts surged in my mind, and finally converged into a picture, a profile.

What he saw through the cat's eye was the profile of the woman in the red dress.

He had felt that the profile was strangely familiar, but he thought it was just Vermouth's disguise and didn't think about it. However, the moment the masked girl jumped out of the window, the eyes of the man on her shoulder flashed across his sight.

An inexplicable feeling suddenly arose from the bottom of his heart, and he saw a figure he had missed for a long time in his heart.

Elena Miyano.

When he was a child, Toru Amuro often fought with other children because of his mixed-race appearance and hair color. Once after being injured, he went to Miyano Hospital. The Miyano Elena who treated him was also mixed-race, and she gave him comfort and encouragement.

She is so gentle and holy, and when she smiles, she is like the Virgin Mary.

From then on, Toru Amuro even deliberately hurt himself in order to see her more often.

Not only will you not feel any pain, but your heart will be filled with anticipation and longing.

Until that day, she said:

"Next time you get hurt, I won't be able to treat you. Teacher, I have to go somewhere far away.

Goodbye, Ling."
