【Chi'an】Lies Tetralogy

"In the beginning, it was really just out of curiosity. Noah's Ark, a forbidden artificial intelligence, can give it life again. This job itself has a huge temptation. But gradually we discovered the power behind it, and things went wrong. So interesting... You should have realized it? The top cabinet officials want to keep such technology for themselves, and it is definitely not for any fair purpose."

Amuro said nothing.He knows very well that the end of this war is, to put it bluntly, for profit.Artificial intelligence like Noah's Ark is already on the verge of ethical controversy, not to mention its destructiveness, it is a coveted secret weapon for any country and any force.Whether it's the United States, Japan, the FBI, the police, or the black organization, they all essentially want to grab the super AI.

"That's why we're hoping to get somebody's attention...someone who can see through all of this and at the same time potentially jump out of it."

The sea wind swept away the sound of Makishima, and the huge waves kept beating against the cliffs below, as if to destroy the land under their feet.It's time for a decision, Amuro thought.

"Now, the main body of the ark is inside." The silver-haired young man took a step back and put one hand on the box car body. "Are you going to submit it for credit, Mr. Public Security...Mr. Bourbon? Or, would you like to open this Pandora's box with us?"

"Feel sorry."

In the messy raindrops, Amuro suddenly broke into a smile.

"Not a policeman or a bourbon—I'm here as Toru Amuro."

This choice has nothing to do with camp and has nothing to do with interests.Amuro suddenly remembered that night, also in front of the turbulent sea, he and Akai had been looking for a reason to fight between heaven and earth together.What guidelines should be followed to be correct?Justice and morality vary from time to time, and responsibilities and missions always have positions.Perhaps, the ultimate criterion can only be one's own conscience.

Makishima looked at him, and then, Makishima also smiled, as if he understood something, showing some emotion for a moment.

"Can't this cocoon grow into a butterfly again..."

The next second, Amuro acted.He leaned over to avoid the bullets fired from the opposite cab, and at the same time rolled on the spot and took out the grenade he had prepared and threw it at the bottom of the van.The sounds of gunfire, rain, waves, and Makishima calling for his companions were all swallowed up by violent explosions.

Two days later.

"Oh, Shinichi, you brought a new friend home again!"

"Hello, Mother." Kaito saluted solemnly. "It's such an honor to meet a beautiful lady like you."

You Xizi was in full bloom. "Handsome and polite, so you look like brothers~" She cupped her face and looked at Conan at the side, the male protagonist had an expression of "I don't want to talk anymore".

Kaitou Kidd has once again become the focus of media headlines because of uncovering a corner of the Quangongji Group's crimes in an incredible way.However, his true self is currently recuperating at Kudo's family, which annoys the little landlord.After Yukiko left the study, the boy immediately changed his face:

"Hey Detective~ Come and help me with my homework! The exam is coming soon!!"

"What are you doing to me?" Conan said indifferently.He sat across from the desk, crossed his legs and looked down at the news feed on his mobile phone.A senior official from the Ministry of Health and Welfare is facing prosecution, and the scandal caused an uproar in the outside world; the American ambassador to Japan submitted a note on the case;

Kaito looked at him dissatisfied. "My arm is injured. It hurts so badly that I can't write." The boy pointed to the bandaged arm with a bitter face.

"Didn't you say 'just a bruise'!"

"That's because you're worried." The high school student rolled his eyes, "Speaking of which, as a reward for taking me in, how about I take the exam for you! Anyway, you can't take it~~"

"No." I just want to be a primary school student quietly, okay! "Who told me not to grow up before?"

Hearing this, Kidd was startled suddenly, and Conan himself realized something, the two of them met their eyes, and then both smiled knowingly.At this time, there were some low-pitched arguments outside, and they couldn't help but look towards the door.It turned out that Yuya Kazami from the public security came to contact the FBI to deal with the aftermath. Both sides seemed to have a tough attitude and were blaming each other.

"In the end, the Ark program was destroyed, and no one was able to get it...and it seems that the two Mr. Agents got into trouble because of it?" Kaito twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand and shook his head sighing. "I hope they don't fight, especially Mr. Akai, it will feel terrible."

Conan put down his phone and fell into deep thought.

"I think—maybe that's what they're after?"

"what??"

"Mr. Amuro aside, Akai-san will not take the initiative to be an enemy of Mr. Amuro, and with their abilities, even if they cannot win the ark, they will not be so passive. Unless the two have already discussed the role Such a play, they originally planned to destroy the ark, in order to make it impossible for any force to use it!"

Kaito looked at him in astonishment.

"But... In this way, they will have to bear the evaluation of mission failure, and they will have to continue to pretend to be antagonistic to each other, which is too..."

Their world is different from yours and mine, Conan thought about it, but didn't say it.

There is only one truth, and this truth and its weight are probably only known by those two people in the world.

***

"Congratulations to Mr. Jiang Gu for rehabilitating Zhao Xue and returning to his original position! Cheers!!"

There was laughter in the restaurant box.Everyone was relieved that the incident came to an end, especially because the boss returned safely and the subordinates were very happy.What was even happier was that as a reward, Amuro brought homemade snacks to share with everyone.

"It's delicious! Is this a gingerbread man?"

"The shape is so perfect, I don't want to eat it. I want to keep it."

"As expected of Mr. Jiang Gu, woo woo woo..."

"You guys are too exaggerated." Amuro looked at the men sitting around the table dumbfounded.But it has to be said that he felt a certain long-lost soft feeling here.This is also one of the places he doesn't want to lose and hopes to protect.

The colleagues were talking and laughing lively, Kazami sat beside Amuro, and noticed that he didn't drink, only drank some drinks, and was distracted from time to time.Kazami knew that he was probably thinking about a certain FBI that he hadn't seen for a long time, so he leaned over and whispered, "Mr. Furuya, if you have something to do, go first, I'll greet these guys."

Amuro didn't deny it, but just smiled and said, "Let's sit down for a while."

Kazami remembered the meeting with Kamel and Judy during the day, they seemed to feel that Amuro betrayed Akai in order to grab credit, and they complained a lot.

"You know, the main responsibility for this incident has been shifted to the Minister of Health and Welfare. I'm afraid that's the end of the scandal within the cabinet. Although the previous persecution of you has been stopped, I think... You should be more cautious? If you can ease the relationship with the FBI, it will also benefit your future safety."

"Kazemi, you pretended to arrest me before, did you have any truth in what you said?" Anshi asked irrelevantly.Feng Jian couldn't help being embarrassed when he saw him laughing a little teasingly with his chin on his hands.

"She said she wanted to replace me, and complained."

"That, that's all lies!!" Kazami waved his hands in a panic, "Mr. Furuya! Don't take it to heart!!"

"No, I believe you will become an excellent bureaucrat." Amuro still watched him calmly. "Thank you, Kazami...for everything you have done."

The blond young man patted him on the shoulder heavily, then got up from the cushion, "I'll settle the bill for everyone first."

Kazami sat blankly at the same spot, took off his glasses after Anshi left the box, lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"The lord is very dissatisfied with your defeat this time. But he didn't have any expectations at first. You and Bourbon are lucky."

"Thank you," Belmode leaned on the bar, shaking the wine glass in his hand. "The case is so big, it's a good ending not to get the organization involved... I just hope that the next task will be easier."

"Why do I feel that you often seem to be protecting Bourbon? Why, have you taken a fancy to that guy?"

The witch smirked. "Little Boben is cute, but even with him, I don't know much about him—that guy is very mysterious, who knows if he already has someone."

"Oh, really?"

Gin snuffed out the cigarette, his fingers slowly slid across the scar on his cheek, and the eyes under the brim of his hat became elusive.

"You knew it was me before I knocked on the door."

"There's a tacit understanding." Akai said.

He opened the door to let Amuro in.Noticing that Amuro was staring at Okiya Subaru's disguise, Akai explained: "I just came back too. You hit me really well. James and the others forced me to stay in Kubado Hospital for two days."

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt to see Amuro-kun."

"Is it because you wear this cross-dressing face, it feels like your skin is extra thick." Amuro pouted. "I'm here to return your car." He raised his finger and handed over the car keys. Akai didn't take the keys, but held his hand.

Amuro's hand was very warm, and Akai could feel his five fingers trembling slightly.The lights were not turned on in the room, but the moonlight was very bright, making Amuro's beautiful blue-gray eyes even more crystal clear.After a long time, Amuro took a deep breath:

"I did it."

"You did a good job." Akai squeezed his hand tightly, using his steady palm to eliminate those small tremors.Amuro made a slightly stuffy sound. "I'm not a child who wants to be praised!"

"I just wanted to compliment you," Akai raised his hand and tore off his disguise, opening Amuro's familiar pair of green eyes. "I don't often praise people." Akai nodded slightly, his voice became low, "...we succeeded."

"We succeeded." Amuro repeated, and then he buried his head in Akai's shoulder, allowing him to hug him tightly.They fulfilled the agreement that only belonged to the two of them, and chose to destroy Noah's Ark according to their own will.On the surface, the FBI and the public security are competing with each other, but no one can get a bargain.But the secret behind this, Akai and Amuro will always keep it secret.

"Speaking of which, your Subaru may be in danger of being exposed. How about painting it white?"

"I refuse." Akai said decisively.He felt the person in his arms relax slowly, and smelled a delicious smell of baked pastries.Lowering his head, he saw Amuro still smiling as always, it was a sly but genuine smile.

Akai suddenly thought that both Furutani Rei and Bourbon always played the role of staying in the dark because of their occupations. Just like at this moment, his figure can only be reflected by the faint moonlight.

But this person is better suited for walking in the sun.

Maybe this is why I always like to call him "Amuro-kun".This name symbolizes the most neutral identity, the words closest to home and tranquility, although Amuro did not have many opportunities to have them in his young life... and he also likes to see the bright sunshine of Amuro in Poirot Coffee Shop With a smile that is no different from that of ordinary people.

"Maybe one day we will meet again in battle." Amuro straightened his back, trying to make himself serious, but failed. "What's that look on your face?!"

Akai's expression was almost as if he heard "I have a luxurious dinner tomorrow".

"You know, snipers never lack the patience to wait." He hugged Amuro by the waist, and at the same time prayed that one day they would no longer need all the excuses such as ordering takeaway, returning the car, and the like, and changed to a sunny place. place to kiss.
