Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 371 The fireflies on the stage are dazzling! Rye VS Bourbon!

laugh--!
A cold light flashed, and the concrete wall broke like tofu. The violent airflow drove the gravel and hit Kyogoku Makoto's bloody face.

A mixture of tingling and numbness, just like tickling.

Kyogoku Makoto's eyes were calm, without any ripples. Although the other person's gloomy eyes were also calm, he knew that it was only an appearance.

The person in front of me is going berserk.

He is extremely thirsty for blood!

Hawk roared and chopped with the two axes in his hands like a storm. Kyogoku Makoto kept dodging and used the wall to compress Hawk's attack range.

The Berserker roared like thunder, and the concrete wall was almost chopped into pieces. The rubber skin under his feet also cracked layer by layer, revealing the thick steel plate underneath.

Bang——! ! !
The berserker chopped again, but the warrior dodged sideways, the axe blade colliding with the metal plate, and the roar of the giant beast echoed in the venue.

The voices in the audience were suppressed for a moment, and then broke out into even more passionate roars.

The first game was so exciting, it was definitely worth the price of the ticket!
"Look!"

The referee's excited voice suddenly rang out.

The warrior's vision was suddenly obscured by a gray color.

"Everyone! The winner has been decided!"

Clearly nothing had happened, but the referee made the decision. In that split second, many people were confused, but more of them were staring at the field intently.

Only saw:

The berserker kicked up the rubber cover on the ground, blocking the warrior's vision!
The axe blade was raised high, and in an instant, the crescent moon fell into the sky!

Due to the referee's reminder, the audience held their breath and the stadium was silent.

laugh--! ! !
Then, the tearing sound like a knife cutting butter was clearly heard by everyone.

The rubber cover that was lifted up like a wave fell down due to gravity and covered the warrior's head, but the two people in the field did not move at all.

tick-

The berserker cut the warrior's neck with the axe blade, and blood dripped.

The referee loudly announced, "The winner is!"

"Hawk! I win!!!"

The gambler who had insulted Kyogoku Makoto the most before held up the bill, his face full of ecstasy, and roared loudly.

"Kyogoku Makoto!!!"

The referee said the next sentence.

The drake was suddenly grabbed by the neck, the frenzied sound stopped abruptly, and the whole place was silent.

The rubber cover on Kyogoku Makoto's head was suddenly lifted up, and Hawke's tall body fell backwards as if blown by a breeze.

With a "bang", the ground shook.

The dark warrior revealed his true appearance. There was a huge gap on his left arm armor, and the wound was deep enough to see the bone.

It is located on the side of the neck!

“Nice response!”

While most people in the stadium were confused, the referee's voice resounded throughout the stadium.

"Didn't you guys notice?"

“Although Hawke looked like a Viking warrior, he controlled his strength very accurately at the beginning, leaving room for maneuver in every strike.”

"However, when insults were hurled at him from the audience, his force control was no longer precise, and it continued to hit innocent walls and floors."

"why is that?"

"Is he irritated?"

"Absolutely not!"

"This monster who slaughtered more than two thousand people on the battlefield has long been determined to an unimaginable degree. Your insults are just a gentle spring breeze to him!"

"And his superior combat wisdom made him decide to take advantage of this opportunity and set a trap in an instant!"

"Hawk's destruction of the venue was all just a show, all for the last moment!"

There was an uproar in the field, everyone was shocked that the big guy Hawke could be so insidious.

But how come Kyogoku managed to dodge it?

"And yet, and yet!"

Yingsheng controlled the camera and zoomed in on Hawke's left chest. Right above his heart, on the thick plate armor, there was a fist mark that was about an inch deep!

"Kyogoku has keenly discovered Hawke's plot and decided to take advantage of it!"

"With his punching power, as long as he hits the key part, he can win with almost one strike!"

"Player Hawk never gave him this opportunity until the last moment!"

"Let's interview Kyogoku."

The camera turned to Kyogoku Makoto's face. The samurai had a huge scar on his left cheek and his eyes were calm.

"May I ask when did you realize something was wrong?"

"Did Hawke slightly change the force of his attack on you in order to avoid overacting and exposing his flaws?"

"Or did you find that his destruction of the ground was quite concentrated and had been restricting your range of movement?"

Countless audiences cast their eyes towards Kyogoku Makoto and listened attentively.

Kyogoku Makoto was silent for a few breaths, "I only realized it when my vision was blocked."

There was another uproar among the crowd.

"Feel sorry."

Yingsheng sighed.

"I was a bystander who stayed out of the situation and had a good view. I said stupid things and forgot that when the players were risking their lives on the field, they didn't have the energy to think about those things."

“But there’s another problem.”

"How can you be sure that he was going to use his right axe and that his target was your neck?"

"If he changes his hand, he only needs to raise the target two inches higher. Your wrist will not be well protected and he will hit you with one strike, cutting off half of your head."

Kyogoku smiled and said, "It does sound dangerous, but I didn't think too much about it at the time."

clap clap clap-

Yingsheng was the first to applaud.

"Everyone!"

"Cheers to the intuition of a true warrior!"

“Cheers to the winner!”

The audience seats were boiling with excitement. The blazing roar broke through the giant dome-like roof and spread in all directions under the azure sky. Even the clouds in the sky were shaking.

"Kyogoku-senpai, you're so handsome!"

There were young girls cheering.

"It's over, it's over..."

There was a gambler with a pale face slumped in a chair.

Kyogoku Makoto stood in the middle of the field for a few seconds, held his left arm with his right hand, and walked towards the entrance he came from.

"Please wait a moment."

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Yingsheng's voice rang out.

"Hawk was wearing plate armor, but he just fainted from the blow to his heart, and he is not dead. Kyogoku, aren't you going to finish him off?"

Kyogoku raised an eyebrow, "Isn't the game over?"

“The rules of this game are very humane.”

"Let's just forget it." Kyogoku Makoto didn't look back. "He should indeed be punished by law, but he should never die in my hands like this."

As he was about to continue walking, he was stopped again.

"The loser is safe and sound, but the winner is bruised and battered. How can we allow this to happen?"

Yingsheng's wrist shook.

Kyogoku Makoto caught the bottle in mid-air, and a white porcelain bottle appeared on the big screen above his head, held in his right hand.

Everyone was confused, so they heard:

"Kyogoku, your injury is half an inch deep into your arm bone. Conventional medical treatment is too slow to recover. Your combat effectiveness will be affected throughout the competition."

"The competition committee is pursuing a grand and splendid ceremony. It is a pity for a strong contestant like you to leave the stage."

"Take the pill inside, something very interesting will happen."

"But if you leave the wound open, it may leave a scar, so remember to press the two sides of the wound together."

Yingsheng's words were a little unclear, but the meaning contained in them was truly shocking.

"That pill can heal injuries quickly?!"

In the stadium that had inexplicably become silent, a loud voice shouted out the thoughts of everyone.

Then there was another burst of noise on the field, and almost everyone was whispering and talking to each other.

Kyogoku Makoto pushed aside the cork wrapped in red cloth and tilted the thin neck of the porcelain bottle into his left palm.

Sure enough, a red pill as bright as fire rolled out and swirled in the palm of his hand.

Yingsheng said again: "Kyogoku has two wounds. It's hard for one person to press them. Is there anyone willing to help?"

"I come!"

As soon as Yingsheng finished speaking, everyone saw a girl in a pink and white T-shirt and denim shorts leap up from the west side of the audience, her figure flew through the air in a stunning flash, and landed in the middle of the field.

If it’s not Xiaolan, then who else could it be?

As soon as Xiaolan heard what Hotaru said, she knew what he really gave to Kyogoku.

Last Saturday, Gin used pink granulation on Hotaru at the Beika Central Hospital!
Although the granulation has now become a pill and seems to have evolved a bit, I guess the principle will not change.

Willpower.

pain.

Xiaolan believes 100% that Kyogoku's willpower is up to standard, but can he hold the wound when it hurts...

You know, even a monster like Yingsheng was shaking all over and trembling even when typing.

Xiaolan walked up to Kyogoku Makoto and whispered to him what happened in the Beika Central Hospital. This thing had been experimented on by Yingsheng himself, so it wouldn't be dangerous.

Kyogoku Makoto nodded and lay down directly on the ground.

Xiaolan used the knife she had just borrowed to clean Kyogoku Makoto's wounds, fed him some medicine, and pressed her hands on both sides of the wound on his body, closing them in the middle with just the right amount of force.

Kyogoku Makoto's figure was clearly projected on the big screen, and then spread to all directions with the electromagnetic signals.

All over the world, at this moment, countless people held their breath, waiting for the incredible to come.

His Adam's apple moved slightly and Kyogoku Makoto swallowed the pill.

[Killing Intent -1, activate skill: Enlightenment! ]

In the darkness, there was a thought moving.

Kyogoku Makoto concentrated all his attention and tried to endure the coming pain.

But then I found that there was indeed some pain and itching on the wound, but it was not to the point of being unbearable.

At most, it's like slamming your big toe into a corner.

Kyogoku Makoto opened his eyes, and from his angle he could just see the large display screen hanging in the center of the gymnasium.

It was clearly showing that the two wounds on his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The four groups of people and even the whole world were speechless when they saw this, and then there was an uproar. Some people shouted:

"Revival of spiritual energy!"

“It’s magic!”

"Holy Light bless him!"

Xiaolan was quite surprised and thought: Could it be that Kyogoku-senpai's willpower is stronger than Hotaru's? Or was Gin's preparation that day just an exaggeration?

Of course, this thought only flashed through my mind.

Not only because Xiaolan believes in Yingsheng, but also because during this period of time, Yingsheng's mental abnormality was clearly revealed, and no one would think that his willpower was still at the human level.

“I believe everyone must have a lot of doubts now.”

Yingsheng's voice sounded again, immediately attracting everyone's attention, most of whom were very excited.

"The principle of this pill is a trade secret and cannot be made public for the time being."

"Does it have anything to do with magic or Taoism?"

"maybe."

"But it may be the most cutting-edge medical technology. Science is amazing."

"In short, this kind of medicine can actually be mass-produced on a small scale, but it has not yet been sold publicly."

"Kurosawa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., please pay attention to this name. After the martial arts competition is over, the pills will appear on the market."

"I named it the Qingli Rejuvenating Pill."

“No price yet.”

When the gymnasium was quiet for a moment, it suddenly erupted again, with people from all sides asking questions.

Yingsheng raised his hand and turned the camera to a white-haired old man in a dark blue Taoist outfit.

When everyone's voices died down a little, he said with full energy:
"May I ask why this pill is called Qingli Huisheng?"

"The fate is granted by heaven, and Taiyi burns Qingli. Taoist priest, you should know that Qingli is a candle that illuminates the night and guides the lost. This pill is as red as fire, and can guide the dying back to the human world. Isn't it the meaning of Qingli's resurrection?"

The old man asked in Chinese, and Yingsheng answered in Chinese, and then translated into English and Arabic.

The old man asked again: "Can it revive the dead?"

"It's OK for near-death, but not for dead." Ying Shengxu tapped his temple. "This thing is too complicated and too fragile. If you lack oxygen for more than five minutes, I don't recommend wasting the pill."

"What about regeneration of severed limbs?"

"This aspect is still under research, and this pill does not have this function. But in theory, it is a good aid in limb transplant surgery. After the limb is reattached to another person, as long as anti-immune drugs are taken on time, the use of it will be no different from the original limb."

The old man's eyes were a little dim at first, but when he heard Yingsheng's second half of the sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was filled with indescribable excitement.

"really?!"

Yingsheng smiled without saying anything and cut the camera to the next person.

An ice beauty with long silver hair and beautiful features, wearing a white blouse and a dark blue tight skirt.

"I also live in Japan, why haven't I heard of Kurosawa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd." Curacao asked.

"Because this is a new company that was established only four days ago, but please rest assured, Miss, we have very strong technical reserves and have been officially recognized by many countries." Yingsheng replied.

"Hei Ze sounds like a surname. Is that your family name, sir?"

"This name was just given by someone at random. It has no deep meaning. As for my name..."

Yingsheng cut the camera back to himself and showed the most perfect business smile.

"My name is Hotaru. I sometimes open my business at Kankyouen in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. Customers from all over the world are welcome to come and call me by name."

"!!!!!!"

"!!!!!!"

At this moment, many people were speechless and many people cried out in shock.

In the stadium, thousands of words in the audience merged into one word.

"ah???!!!"

There were at least one billion people around the world watching this live broadcast at that moment, and almost no one among them could have predicted in advance that Yingsheng would say such a thing in public.

this person……

Are you shameless?!

But such thoughts only came to mind subconsciously, and soon after that, countless people became eager and began planning their own trip to Japan, thinking that they must rush to Kabukicho as soon as possible after the martial arts tournament ended, and must not be overtaken by others!

Most of them are women, but there are also men. After all, Yingsheng was only talking about guests, not specifically female guests!
Snapped--!
Yuanzi slapped himself on the forehead, looked at the figure on the platform, and in a trance, saw a poppy flower in full bloom.

It is so gorgeous, yet so depraved!

Under the gaze of everyone, it is clearly emitting a faint glow!

"Xiaolan, Suigetsu-kun has gone crazy."

Sonoko looked to the side of the aisle and saw Xiaolan walking towards them with Kyogoku Makoto, who had taken off his armor.

Kyogoku Makoto was actually unharmed!

Xiaolan also looked at Yingsheng and sighed, "That guy is really crazy. He told me last night that if the opportunity is right today, I must play a big one. I didn't understand it at the time, but it turned out to be like this.

He announced in public that he was a firefly and was still doing business in Kabukicho...

Oh my goodness.

How can there be such a crazy thing in the world? "

Shiro Suzuki's eyelids were also twitching. He wanted to take the opportunity to persuade Sonoko to recognize Hotaru's true face and stay as far away from him as possible.

But before he could speak, he heard his wife beside him say:
“I think his approach is quite interesting.”

"Eh???"

Several people looked at him at the same time, even Kyogoku Makoto, who was determined and seemed to have a certain "inability to understand" the situation.

Suzuki Tomoko looked calm.

"Didn't you guys say before that Liuying's information is basically open to anyone who wants to investigate him?"

"He is hosting the martial arts conference in such a high-profile manner this time. It will definitely attract the attention of countless people, and information about him will immediately spread all over the Internet."

"Rather than passively waiting for the public to expose everything about his past, wouldn't it be more proactive for him to make it public in front of the whole world now?"

"As for what he said about welcoming nominations, it was just a polite remark."

"As you all know, he hasn't been to Kabukicho for a long time."

"And that Hanxiang Lengyuan..."

"Oh, he definitely owns a share, or it's directly his property."

"After running such an advertisement in front of the whole world, he will surely make a fortune in the future."

After listening to her conversation, the others were all confused, then looked at each other blankly and gave her two thumbs up.

One was towards Hotaru, the other towards Suzuki Tomoko.

Amazing!
Shiro Suzuki immediately called the Japanese side, and based on the Suzuki family's financial resources, he quickly got the news back.

"The Sumiyoshi-kai integrated a street in Kabukicho and started renovating it two weeks ago. It's now called Hanxiang Lengyuan. The Kurosawa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was indeed established only four days ago. The Sumiyoshi-kai is also behind it, and the Aida Detective Agency is the largest shareholder."

After hearing what Suzuki Shiro said, everyone fell silent.

Only Suzuki Tomoko laughed. "This guy is really interesting. He has ambition, courage, and ability. I am sure that he will become a big shot in the future."

Shiro Suzuki looked up and saw Yingsheng chatting and laughing in Chinese with a middle-aged man in a Tang suit. He couldn't help but sigh.

"No one pulled him down after doing something so outrageous, and now he is."

"That's not all I meant," said Tomoko Suzuki.

"Yeah, who knows how far he can grow in the future." Suzuki Shiro looked at Xiaolan, "I'm a little confused, how did the maple leaf gold coin get into his hands?"

"Hina said that he found Mr. Jijilang and exchanged the cultural relics for several thousand coins." Xiaolan lowered her voice, "Uncle Shilang, has the Metropolitan Police Department been invaded these days?"

"Probably not. At least I didn't hear it."

Suzuki Shiro scratched his head, his tone somewhat uncertain.

After knowing that Hotaru and Sumiyoshi have a deep connection, I'm afraid no one will regard him as a purely good person.

Not to mention the wineries.

Suzuki Tomoko tilted her head to look at Xiaolan with a smile on her face, "Why, Miss Lan, do you lack confidence in your importance in Liuying's heart?"

Xiaolan sat down next to Sonoko, "Aunt Tomoko, I think there is something malicious in what you said."

Suzuki Tomoko: “…”

other people:"……"

Xiaolan looked at Yingsheng on the high platform from afar, her tone quite distant, "He is so outstanding, I am just an ordinary person, it is normal for me to have all kinds of thoughts, all I can do is try my best to keep up with him.

Even this seems to be quite difficult, but I have to do something.

I am very grateful that Ying is willing to grow up with me now.

Of course, even if he leaves me one day, it’s just because our fate has ended, there is no other reason.

Do not think too much.

It is enough to cherish the present.”

Everyone was silent upon hearing this, and no more words were spoken until the venue was simply repaired and the second game finally began.

"The first contestant to appear!"

"The FBI's ace agent!"

"It's called the silver bullet that can shatter darkness!"

“Rye whiskey from the past!”

"Akai Shuichi!"

Yingsheng shouted two meaningless words, which most people did not understand. However, those who could understand immediately looked towards the entrance on the left with a sharp look in their eyes.

A tall man slowly walked out from the shadows...

He is of course smaller than Hawke, but his height of 188cm is definitely above average.

He was not wearing armor, but a one-piece black tights that highlighted his muscular body.

He wore a black knitted hat on his head, with distinct eyebrows and eyes, and his dark green pupils were quite gloomy, adding a touch of coldness to his heroic face.

"It sure is him!"

Curacao heard Rum's voice in the headset, and his tone was quite angry.

"Gin, you leaked the organization's technology, and now you know about Akai Shuichi's news but you didn't report it in advance. Are you going to betray the organization?!"

In the headset, Gin didn't respond at all.

"The second contestant to appear!"

"CIA traitor!"

"The Japanese police's most wanted criminal!"

"The current Bourbon!"

"Amuro Tooru!"

At the entrance on the right, the golden-haired black man who had been offline for a long time walked in slowly. He was also wearing only a tights, but it was white. His body was strong and beautiful, like a marble sculpture.

He raised his head and looked towards the podium, "Referee, there must be something fishy going on with your draw."

Yingsheng smiled slightly, "Are you dissatisfied?"

Toru Amuro grinned slightly and stared straight at the opposite side.

"Very satisfied."
