Leader Zai and Despair Raids the World

The boy leaned on Conan's back obediently, without resistance or struggle at all.

But when he was carrying him, something solid and hard on the side of the child caught Conan's attention for a moment—probably a self-defense electric shock baton—hopefully it was a self-defense electric shock baton.

Conan Edogawa prayed quietly in his heart.

But there is no time to worry about that now!

With the strength of his own child, how could it be possible to lead three people to escape from Gin Jiu with electric shock batons? !

There must be a race against time!

Conan asked Hui Yuanai to go ahead: "Hui Yuan, you are wearing my glasses, open the map, hurry up!"

Even at this critical moment of life and death, the little detective's mind is still extremely flexible.

"We absolutely can't go to the hotel. Fortunately, there is a police station not far from here! We can't go in either, but we will make a detour when they stop!"

The red-brown haired girl takes a deep breath.

For a moment, she was overwhelmed by a bone-deep fear of the dark organization.

However, with her companions by her side and children who should not have been sacrificed innocently, Hui Yuanai desperately mustered up her courage.

"I know." Haibara said briefly, took Conan's glasses and put them on.

After forcibly regaining her composure, a rationality beyond her age emerged from the girl.

"Follow me!" Huiyuan ordered in a low voice, "Take this path and avoid all surveillance, at least you can grab 5 minutes of extra time! — This kid doesn't have a surveillance locator on him, does he?!"

Conan followed behind her, walking quickly while asking the boy repeatedly:

"Is there?" He knew that ordinary eight-year-old boys would not have access to this knowledge, so he described it in detail as he usually communicated with the Boy Detective Team, "It's the kind of dark, small one that can be attached to the body." Little machines that send signals."

He felt the boy smiled, and whispered in his ear:

"No."

The child seemed to have not fully regained his strength, and his voice was soft and small, passing by his ears like a wisp of weightless wind.

Conan nodded, there was no time to speak, and he distanced himself from the men in black organization.

—I don’t know how long it will take for Gin to catch up.

Why did he have to kidnap such a young boy?

For the power behind him?interest?

money?Or is it a secret they don't know yet?

Conan was very uncomfortable.When I think of such a sinful organization that has no bottom line and is harming human life everywhere for selfish interests, it seems like a raging fire is burning in my heart!

hateful! !

He will never let these heinous criminals go! ! !

but--

The most important thing right now is to completely rescue the child.

After walking for a while, apart from busy judging the route and chasing after him in fear, Conan couldn't help but care about the child's mental state. It would be better if he could get more information about the dark organization.

After all, he is a high school student at heart. When he gets along with his (forced to re-read) elementary school classmates, especially the children of the Boy Detective Team, Conan can't help but take care of others, which is very reliable.

"Don't be afraid," Conan worried that the boy would be scared by them, and coaxed him softly: "We are not those villains....I am Edogawa Conan, and she is Haibara Ai. What about you? What's your name?"

oh?Yeah.

Whose name is that "Kudou" that the girl blurted out just now?

——Thinking like this, without even saying a word.

The boy replied softly, his voice was very calm:

"Osamu Dazai."

said the boy.

"My name is Osamu Dazai."

Edogawa Conan: "........." Huh?

With the boy on his back, he couldn't help showing a dead fish-eyed expression.

Although my name is unreliable, I chose half of the names of the two writers "Edogawa Ranpo" and "Conan Doyle", but you, just take the name of another writer, will you? Too obvious?

He's not a real kid, he's a high school student, who hasn't read a few articles about "Osamu Dazai" in Chinese class?

Kudo Shinichi also wrote a reading analysis!

Conan wanted to complain, but didn't know how to complain. Maybe the kid was afraid that they would deceive others, so he chose a fake name on purpose? !From this point of view, it is quite clever.

...Even in such an urgent situation, from Hui Yuan Ai who was leading the way, there was also a soft laugh.

It seems that they also heard the conversation between the two.

"..." Conan couldn't bear it anymore, and asked him directly, "Is this, uh, your real name? Ah, it's not that it's wrong to do this, and you really shouldn't trust strangers..."

However, the boy interrupted him.

"It's a real name."

The 'Dazai Osamu' said.For some reason, there was a smile in the tone of voice, but Conan, who was perceptive enough, felt a kind of quiet loneliness like the wind piercing through the hollow in his chest.

"I have nothing but this name." Dazai said with a smile.

Conan is keenly alert!

"What's going on?" He still asked in a gentle voice, fearing that he would scare the child, he coaxed him to answer with words, "Where are your parents?"

Dazai just laughed, "No."

……orphan?Conan's thoughts turned.But this kind of situation is not uncommon, and why come to the conclusion of "nothing"? !

"So, where is your home? Shall we take you home?" Conan asked him.

Dazai still smiled: "Not really."

Conan: "???"

He almost suspected that the child still didn't trust him and deliberately lied to them.

However, from the tight back, Conan could feel the steady heartbeat of the boy.

so stable.

so peaceful.

That, is by no means the human instinctive reaction when lying.

...is it true?Then why is this child being targeted by the dark organization? !

Conan hesitated for a moment, followed Hui Yuanai across from the children's park, and took an unobtrusive path.

He still couldn't help asking.

"Then," Conan whispered, "how did you end up in that car? Did you ever see the tall uncle in black before, uh, falling asleep?"

Dazai still answered with a smile, as if he didn't understand his dangerous situation.

"Because I lost my memory, I don't remember anything except this name."

Dazai was very frank.

"And when I opened my eyes, all I saw were people in black clothes."

Conan and Haibara gasped at the same time!

This child, has been in such a dangerous situation all this time? !

Even Edogawa Conan's voice couldn't help but tense!

"And then?" He couldn't help asking a little eagerly.

"Then, they all called me 'Little Master'."

——'Dazai Osamu' replied.

Edogawa Conan: "."

Edogawa Conan: "..."

Edogawa Conan: "......?????"

what? !

Getting this absolutely unexpected answer, Conan almost threw him to the ground with a trembling hand!

Fortunately, he regained his sanity in time, and quickly put him on his back.

No no no no wait a minute! ! !

As a detective's reason, madness reminded him to use his brain to think quickly!

Is this true or not? !This is the dark organization, huh?Is it the organization of men in black who commit all kinds of crimes and whose members have blood on their hands? !

Why call a young boy with amnesia 'little master'? ?

blood relationship?Just a title?

Could it be that there is such a huge profit behind this child that even the organization cannot give up, and the relationship must be bound through this channel?

Ah - or!Is the boy's amnesia also related to this hateful organization? !

Conan's crazy brainstorm.

Because he noticed that the heartbeat didn't change at all——this child is telling the truth! !

but.

The keenness of being a detective reminded him:

Why a young boy who logically "has nothing" and should be wary of the whole world.

To tell the whole story to them two children who seemed equally young and unconvincing?

next second,

Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand suddenly, and cleverly pressed the acupuncture point on Edogawa Conan's elbow.

A strong numbness came, and Conan only felt his arm lose strength for a moment.

Even if he reacted quickly, but——

late.

Osamu Dazai slid off his back, staggered two steps, and stopped by himself.

It was obviously a state where the physical strength had not yet fully recovered, but it was obvious that he did not intend to continue walking with them.

At this time, the three of them have already relied on the map on the glasses to cunningly stay away from the gin's Porsche for a long distance.

From this alley, as long as you look across the road, you will find the police station they are trying to reach.

However, the three children stopped in the alley.

The bluestone brick walls, moss on the corners, and the sound of dripping water from the water pipes behind the residents.

In the alley where few people pass by, empty boxes and sundries of different sizes are gradually piled up like redundant storage areas, waiting to be thrown away together on the recycling day.

"...Why?" Conan dismissed unnecessary questions and went straight to the center: "Why did you tell us this?"

Dazai was still smiling.

From the moment we met through the car window, this black-haired boy with iris eyes seemed to be in a good mood, showing a smile that others couldn't understand.

"It means, I have nothing to do with them, and I won't be killed by them." Dazai explained kindly, "Thank you for saving me, now thinking about the way of death from carbon monoxide poisoning, it's not completely painless, um, fortunately, I didn't die All in all—” After expressing his bewildering thoughts, he urged again:

"You should go."

Dazai stood there, smiling.

"I won't die. Go away, the vicious dogs are about to catch up."

But how could those two people be persuaded by this reason? !Not to mention that there seems to be some great death declaration mixed in the middle? ?

Conan opened his mouth eagerly, but before he could speak, Haibara Ai actually took a step forward!

"Do you want to sacrifice yourself and buy time for us?" The girl asked sharply, without giving Dazai a chance to argue, "Stop rubbing each other! If you don't leave, none of us can escape, that man Gin, he will never Let it go!!”

Undoubtedly, what was soaked in Hui Yuan's mournful voice was all the fear of that man.

——People who are not really familiar with the style of gin will never make such a declaration.

Dazai looked at Hui Yuanai with a smile on his face, and shook his head slightly.

"No. This is not persuasion, but persecution."

Dazai said, stretching his hand to his side.

The drawn weapon was not a self-defense electric shock baton.

That's a pistol.

Small, silver, metallic, sleek and pocket-sized.

Special order, specially provided for the most important "little master" of the organization, a pistol that can be grasped by children's fingers smoothly.

At this moment, both Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai subconsciously took a step back.

"That's right. That's it. Run away."

Dazai said with a smile.

The child was the same as he had been a few moments ago, pale and bloodless, not yet fully recovered from the carbon monoxide poisoning.

The kite-colored right eye that was not wrapped in bandages was full of smiles, showing no trace of hostility.

But he, without any hesitation, opened the safety catch.

Aim at the sky—

"Bang, bang, bang"!

Three shots in a row! !

The sound of gunfire without a pistol attached rang out in the alley.

Conan is going crazy!

This is too close to the police station! ! !What the hell is this kid trying to do? ! ? !

——What he wanted to do was revealed in front of Edogawa Conan in the next second.

That's too late! !All Conan can do is to grab Haibara Ai, turn around and squat behind the sundries and cardboard boxes!

At the same time, he covered his mouth and nose with Hui Yuan, holding his breath with all his might.

From the small chest that I was forced to become a child, I heard the violent heartbeat that was about to rush out of the chest.

Can't be wrong—he can't be wrong!

Appearing at the entrance of the alley, the tall figure was several times faster than they expected, followed closely, and bit hard.

A man with silver hair and green eyes.

A killer who commits all kinds of crimes.

That was gin!

It must be his partner vodka who is closely following him.

Gin's footsteps approached step by step.

Like death.

Incomparably terrible.

It is completely the worst, most feared and most inescapable nightmare of Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai.

The deep and hoarse voice sounded from less than ten steps away from them.

"Little Master."

Gin said.There was an extremely cruel killing intent in that voice.

"--I am coming."
