Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 351 Since you are born in the desire realm, why not sink into it!
The next day, at eleven o'clock in the morning.

Yingsheng was holding up his cell phone and typing away while chatting with Xiaolan when the light from the ward door suddenly dimmed.

They both looked over and were stunned.

dong dong——

After the knock on the door, without asking any questions, a man in black walked straight to the head of the bed, looked Yingsheng up and down on the bed, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

"It's so pitiful, Mr. Liuying."

Yingsheng now has splints on both legs, a large area of ​​gauze wrapped around his left chest, his right hand wrapped like a fortune cat, a fixator on his neck, and a gastric tube in his mouth.

From the outside, it does look very miserable.

If someone else said this, Yingsheng would just type a smiley face on his phone^_^ in response, but you, old man, what's wrong with you?

Yingsheng showed the visitor his phone screen in a split second:
"???????"

Xiaolan also stood up from the chair beside the bed, her body tense, "Gin, what are you doing here?"

As she said this, she raised her hand and pointed at the slippers in the corner, indicating that there was a bug.

Hotaru types with his left hand, so in order to facilitate the conversation, Xiaolan sat on the right side of the bed. Gin walked to the left side of the bed and took out a square, bright silver metal box from his pocket.

"The organization has made new progress in medical technology, which can make your boyfriend get better quickly. If everything goes well, he won't have to rely on a gastric tube to eat at noon today, but can use chopsticks instead." Gin pointed to the gastric tube, "Help him pull this out."

Xiaolan didn't move, her eyes alert, "What if it doesn't go well?"

"Of course it means death, but as long as you have enough willpower, it will only cause some pain, so the risk is not great."

Low risk means:
Except for the special case of Vodka, only Binga survived among the other eleven experimental subjects.

Although Xiaolan didn't know the inside story, she naturally didn't believe Gin's lies. She said coldly: "Willpower is too illusory and cannot be quantified. Leave here immediately, or I will call the police."

"Relax, it's either life or death, isn't that the case for everyone in this world?"

Gin unbuttoned all the buttons of Hotaru's half-open hospital gown and raised his hand to remove the gauze on his left chest.

"But Hotaru is not at risk of dying right now."

Xiaolan held Gin's hand, took out her cell phone, and dialed Megure Juzo's number.

"I have to remind you that this time we are not here to search the three departments. It is still not too late to leave now."

"There is no risk of death or anything like that. It's hard to say for sure. What if there's a sudden earthquake?" Gin smiled, and seemed to think that this was too far-fetched. "Don't get excited, Miss Lan. Why don't you ask Mr. Liuying for his own opinion?"

Xiaolan was slightly stunned and turned her head to look at Yingsheng.

Yingsheng's eyes were a little vague. His current condition was very inconvenient, so he naturally wanted to get better quickly.

As long as he agreed, no matter whether the means provided by Gin was reliable or not, he could use his skills to quickly heal his injuries as long as he had an excuse.

But the problem is...

As a result, the label of a severe masochist on his head will probably become more and more entrenched and difficult to get rid of.

Suddenly, there was a burning pain in the esophagus. Hotaru shifted his gaze slightly and saw that it was Gin who pulled out the gastric tube roughly.

"If you're embarrassed to say it, let me help you make up your mind."

Gin tore off the gauze on Hotaru's chest, and Xiaolan's hand was also thrown away.

If Xiaolan tried harder, even Gin wouldn't have succeeded so easily. However, after seeing the look in Hotaru's eyes, the strength in her hands naturally faded.

At this time, Megure Jusan answered the phone and said, "Xiaolan, what's the matter?"

Xiaolan sighed, "Gin is in our ward. If possible, please shoot him immediately. If not, please wait until he leaves the ward before arresting him."

"what???"

Even though Megure Juzo had already known about this from eavesdropping and quickly requested support, he was still stunned when he heard what Xiaolan said.

No, what’s going on with you guys?
Can betrayal be so blatant?!

Xiaolan pretended not to hear the confusion in his tone and continued, "That's it. The police will go and evacuate the people around. Goodbye."

After that, hang up the phone.

Seeing that Gin had already used a knife to cut open the sutures on Hotaru's chest, Xiaolan frowned and asked, "What is the general principle of the quick treatment you mentioned? Why do you want to destroy the wound that has begun to heal now?"

Gin handed the small metal box to Ran, "I'm going to place the contents on his exposed flesh. The experimental locations in the tissue are all above the heart, so it's probably going to work better."

Xiaolan opened it and saw the pink granulation tissue still moving slightly inside the glass container. Her brows furrowed even more tightly.

"This thing...is it the Venom in Spider-Man?"

Xiaolan suppressed her nausea, took out the glass container and held it in front of Yingsheng.

Yingsheng was stunned for a second, and typed quickly with his left hand: "Venom is black, and the red one is carnage."

"..."

Xiaolan held her forehead helplessly, oh my god, her Ying was really a pervert.

"..."

Gin grinned slightly and increased his speed, not caring at all as the knife scraped across Hotaru's uninjured flesh.

"Wait a moment!"

Xiaolan quickly grabbed Gin's hand and said, "You haven't told me the principle yet. If it is a rapid healing, you will leave scars on Hotaru's body if you do this."

Gin raised an eyebrow, "Do you still care about this?"

Xiaolan snorted, "I don't care, but someone might care a lot."

Yingsheng typed again: "I care very much! After the sutures are removed, don't reopen the wound. Just put that thing in my right hand. I know what it is. From the example of vodka, there is no need to put it on the heart."

Gin clicked his tongue, knowing that he was talking about Vodka's attack on the alien, and his movements slowed down a bit.

To be honest, after Xiaolan said that he might get scars, even without Yingsheng's reply, he subconsciously wanted to pay attention...

Damn!

Gin suddenly noticed that the value on the bracelet on Hotaru's wrist jumped to 66, and immediately collected his thoughts.

Xiaolan undid the bandage on Yingsheng's right hand and raised her finger to make a cross on his cheek.

"Haha, I don't know who said that he wanted to cut a wound on my face, but now it seems that he was just joking with me."

"..."

Yingsheng typed silently: "Tear the blood scab a little."

"..."

Xiaolan leaned over to Yingsheng's ear and whispered, "I've decided. If you can get better, I'll buy a candle whip tonight."

"...What if I die?" Yingsheng asked while typing.

"I'll cremate you tonight and scatter your ashes under the wisteria on the balcony. It will surely grow more luxuriantly tomorrow."

"good idea."

"...This is not good at all. Why do you want to accept this?" Xiaolan pursed her lips, "If you die, I won't cry for you. Before you are cremated, I will turn around and find Kudo Shinichi, holding hands and watching you being pushed into the incinerator."

"Don't worry, God will protect you, nothing will happen."

"...Oh my god."

Xiaolan looked up at Gin, "Are you sure this thing can really survive with willpower?"

Gin also saw the last words that Yingsheng typed, "Don't worry, he has Xuantian's blessing, and he will definitely get through it easily."

"???"

Xiaolan was full of questions, "Do you also believe in Xuantian?"

"There is such a plan, we'll see the details later."

Gin also took off the brace on Hotaru's neck, cut off the row of black sutures that made people feel cold on the back of their necks, and put the brace back on.

"Okay, put a breathing mask on him and put that thing on the wound on his right hand."

"Hatsura hasn't been using a ventilator, so does that mean it won't work now?" Xiaolan looked at the brace on the ventilator around the ventilator's neck, "Why did you put it back?"

"To prevent him from tearing the wound when he struggles, we need to hold down his limbs and head later." Gin rang the bell to call the nurse, but there was no response from the other end, which made him raise an eyebrow slightly, "The police came so quickly? Forget it, it should be okay without a ventilator, let's get started right away."

"What do you mean by 'should'? This is a matter of life and death. Why don't I go next door and take a look?" Xiaolan walked towards the door.

"You want to escape?" Gin asked.

"If I wanted to escape, I would have already escaped. Why don't you tell me what the ventilator does first? Or should I call the police to send it over?"

"If he breathes too quickly while screaming and struggling, he might lack oxygen and pass out, and then he'd be dead." Gin looked at Hotaru, "But I think with Hotaru's will, it might not even come to that." Xiaolan also turned to look at Hotaru.

Yingsheng typed quickly: "It's cool, the light is bright, it's good to admire the bright moon from Dantai; the moon hides the jade rabbit and the sun hides the crow, there are turtles and snakes entwined."

"..."

Xiaolan remembered this sentence. It was what Hotaru said to Haibara Ai on the balcony yesterday morning. She sighed and sat down beside the bed.

"Hina, you must survive."

"Absolutely." Yingsheng typed back.

Xiaolan stopped talking, simply disinfected her hands with alcohol spray, and then carefully transplanted the granulation tissue in the glass container to the wound on Yingsheng's right hand.

The granulation tissue behaved the same as it did yesterday when it faced Binga. As soon as it came into contact with the fresh flesh and blood of Yingsheng, it immediately turned bright red and quickly drilled into the wound like a loach.

Gin immediately stood up and held down Yingsheng's legs and right hand, and said urgently: "Hold down his right hand and head!"

Xiaolan hurriedly did as she was told, using all her strength to prevent Yingsheng from struggling too hard and injuring himself again.

However, a full half minute passed and Yingsheng didn't react at all.

His face was still gentle, and even his eyes were not open, but slightly narrowed. He looked like he was enjoying the sunshine and beach at the seaside, quite comfortable.

Xiaolan looked at Gin with a puzzled look on her face.

Gin frowned slightly, but after noticing that Hotaru's temple was clearly beating and the carotid artery on his neck was bulging, his brows relaxed and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Gin slowly loosened his hand and saw that the veins on Hotaru's arms were bulging, his naked skin was gradually turning red, and there was an almost trembling excitement in his eyes.

"You are a monster indeed!"

Yingsheng raised his phone with his left hand tremblingly, and typed slowly like a Parkinson's patient, writing:
"Shirley is making lunch at my house right now!"

A hint of madness suddenly emerged in Gin's eyes, and they turned red with bloodshot. Compared to Hotaru, he seemed to be suffering from endless pain at this moment!
Looking at the moisture in Hotaru's slightly narrowed eyes, Gin's index finger suddenly trembled.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep--!!!
A rapid alarm sounded throughout the ward, and the bracelet on Yingsheng's wrist lit up with a blood-red glow, with the following value:

99!

Gin stared at Yingsheng and spoke with the last bit of his remaining rationality: "Ms. Lan, the police should be here soon, you should go out first."

Xiaolan also let go of her hand, frowned at Gin, then turned her head to look at Hotaru.

Hotaru didn't look back at her, but just kept looking at Gin with a gentle smile on his face.

Xiaolan had a strange thought in her mind, and just as she was about to speak, she felt her left hand being gently poked.

Her heart moved, and she glanced slightly out of the corner of her eye, and saw Yingsheng making an OK gesture to her.

And the wound on his right hand, which had been pierced by the blade and had a long cut on it, was now healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The skin at the edge of the knife was tightly attached together, without any trace of having been cut, and it was as white as jade as before!
There was a hint of surprise in Xiaolan's eyes, but after all, she had witnessed rejuvenation and resurrection with her own eyes, so she immediately concealed her expression and turned to walk out.

The moment the door from the corridor was closed, there was a "clang" sound, as if a sharp blade was drawn from its sheath.

A cold light reflected from Gin's hand into Xiaolan's eyes.

bang——

The door is closed tightly, isolating the inside and the outside.

Xiaolan stood at the door for a few seconds, and when she heard no sound coming from the room, she shook her head.

The door of the next ward suddenly opened. Xiaolan turned her head and saw Conan in a blue suit jacket.

Conan frowned because of the sound he heard.

Chaos, madness, depravity!
Mizuki... no, Ryuugaru, he and Gin, these two are so filthy and disgusting!
"It's dangerous here, Conan-kun, are you alone? You'd better leave quickly."

Xiaolan walked up to Conan, squatted down and rubbed his head, then took a look into the ward.

It is not surprising that "Kudo Shinichi" and Megure Jusan are both there, and Xiaolan's heart is moved as she is also there Kudo Yusaku, whom she hasn't seen for a long time.

Conan raised his head and said in a childish tone: "Sister Xiaolan, I was leaning against the wall just now and heard a lot of your conversations. Why are you so nice to Gin? Isn't he a bad guy? And he hurt Brother Suigetsu like that yesterday."

"This is an adult matter, children shouldn't ask too many questions."

Xiaolan stood up and led Conan into the ward, looking at Megure Juzo with a complicated look.

"The most important thing is that I can't beat him, and I still have family." Xiaolan smiled gently, "Officer Megure, when will the reinforcements arrive? This opportunity is very good, we must succeed."

Megure Jusan suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart and lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiaolan again.

Although Xiaolan's words were gentle, they sounded so sharp and sarcastic to him.

If the police were not incompetent and unable to protect the people, including yesterday, allowing criminals to escape time and time again, how could this gentle girl in front of him, whom he could almost say had grown up, fall into such a helpless situation and become like this.

Although she was smiling on her face, she must be crying in her heart.

This is all due to the incompetence of the police!
Conan suddenly spoke up: "If you, Xiaolan, had stayed away from Brother Shuiyue from the beginning, none of this would have happened."

"Hmm...it seems to make some sense."

Xiaolan leaned over to look at Conan and smiled: "Conan, have you ever thought that if you cut off your tongue when you were born, you would become more adorable?"

Conan was stunned.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Even though they knew Xiaolan was no longer the same as before, they still never expected that she would say such a thing.

Xiaolan gently pinched Conan's cheek and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, Conan-kun, sister was just joking with you."

She looked up at Kudo Yusaku, "Uncle Yusaku, is Conan your child? He is both smart and cute."

Kudo Yusaku smiled and nodded, with a sharp light flashing across his glasses.

He found that this simple girl who used to pester his son had become a little harder to understand.

"In this case……"

Xiaolan hesitated, "Then why is Conan's last name Edogawa? Is it just that Uncle Yusaku is paying tribute to the mystery novelist Edogawa Ranpo? The same goes for the name, is it from Arthur Conan Doyle?"

Kudo Yusaku shook his head and sighed, "Actually, this was a mistake I made many years ago. If it weren't for your call the day before yesterday, Xiaolan, I wouldn't have known about it. Yukiko and I had a big fight over this, and she ran away from home. I can't contact her now."

Yukiko ran away from home openly to prevent anyone from finding out the truth and putting her in the same frame with "Edogawa Fumiyo".

Although they have the ability to disguise themselves, the latter can actually be done very easily, greatly alleviating possible suspicions from others.

But they naturally would not actively pursue such a scene, as that would be suspected of "covering the truth".

They have to see how their opponents attack first.

"Eh? Sorry, sorry!" Xiaolan quickly bowed to Kudo Yusaku and apologized, "I didn't know about this. Conan has always said that his parents are not you two. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

"No, no, I should thank you, Xiaolan, for giving me a chance to make up for my mistake."

Kudo Yusaku quickly waved his hands and looked at Conan with gentle eyes.

"Conan has been living in the countryside with his mother and has only recently come to Tokyo. Alas, child, you have suffered. I am sorry to your mother. I will make it up to you."

Conan just felt awkward all over and turned his head away without even looking at Kudo Yusaku.

However, his behavior made Xiaolan's eyes flash with suspicion. She felt that his distant and awkward look did make him look like an illegitimate child.

Megure Jusan's cell phone suddenly rang. He quickly answered it, said "Hi" several times, and looked at everyone with excitement.

"The Security Bureau's Mobile Police Team has arrived!"

Soon after he finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor, and the tactical boots tapped on the concrete floor, making a dull sound.

Boom boom boom boom——

A low humming sound came from nowhere, and a breeze blew in the concave-shaped courtyard of the hospital's inpatient department.

Bang-!
Next door, the door collapsed.

Two fully armed policemen rushed in quickly and saw a room full of blood, it was a gorgeous sight!
From the ceiling to the walls to the bed sheets, the blood-red stars are connected all the way. That is...

The North Star of the Sky!

And in the first star position, a celestial being who was out of this world was lying on his back, his outstretched limbs were all flowing with bright red blood, like a cinnabar brush, winding across the snow.

There was clearly such a detached smile on his face, but his eyes were so blurred.

"Yang kills Yin and hides Yin, Yang kills Yin and hides Yin..."
