[Ming Ke] Starting from scratch

"Huh?" Hui Yuanai held the barbecue in mid-air, looking at Conan gloomyly, "Have you lost your mind?"

Conan looked up at the sky, Okiya Subaru covered his nose and coughed lightly.

She then ate the barbecue as usual, and said slowly: "But it would be better if it crashed, otherwise you all have close contacts and good information, and you will keep everything from me, even if it is a big accident that the organization is disbanded. The last one to remember—”

"It's like, a dispensable tool man." Hui Yuan sadly smiled, "It's too pitiful, isn't it?"

Okiya Subaru felt his veins being stuffed into a pile of ice, and his heart was cold.

Hui Yuanai glanced at them, picked up a handkerchief and wiped it leisurely, jumped off the stool and left.Conan shouted in embarrassment: "Haihara—!"

"What are you talking about?" Mao Lilan walked from behind and also saw Ai's back, "Xiao Ai looks in a bad mood."

It's not just a bad mood... Conan looked away heartbroken, he may not be able to get a temporary antidote in the future.

"? G~ I didn't expect Roman to recover so quickly. We plan to visit someday." Sera Masumi was surprised, and then looked at Toru Amuro, "Who is this handsome guy——?"

"It's my disciple of Mori Kogoro, a little-known little detective." Kogoro interjected, holding a beer.Sonoko added: "Amuro-kun also works at Café Poirot, and Sera was curious about it before."

Sera Masumi nodded again and again as if suddenly realized, "I see~! First time meeting, Amuro-kun, hello. I am Sera Masumi, a female high school student detective."

Amuro Toru's expression was unpredictable, and he responded lightly: "Hello."

Romani prepared a plate of barbecue, sprinkled it with sauce, and handed it to Amuro Toru.Sonoko and the others were so surprised that they forgot to speak.Romani had no choice but to bite his ear: "Don't Mr. Amuro like Shiliang?"

Toru Amuro also responded quietly: "It looks very similar to the person I hate."

Romani couldn't help laughing, Yuanzi interrupted exclaiming: "You, are you very close friends? Can't they be boyfriend and girlfriend?!"

Romani's smile froze, as if hearing something beyond common sense, Toru Amuro saw her expression and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"Sonoko, gossip." Sera Masumi said, "Roman is still a high school student, Amuro-kun seems to be ten years older, right? How could it be that kind of relationship."

Yuanzi was surprised again: "What?! I thought Mr. Amuro was only in his early twenties!"

Toru Amuro forced a smile, "I'll take it as a compliment."

"Speaking of which, it's a good thing that Roman recovered so quickly, maybe he can continue training and continue to help Yuanzi as a cheerleader." Shiliang Zhenchun said, attracting an embarrassed elbow from Yuanzi: "Oh, Roman is just recovering from a serious illness. Isn't it too inhumane to pull it over for training?"

"Ah..." Romani explained, "Your body is completely fine, leave the training after school starts next week to me!"

"Huh? Is that so?" Sera smiled with a 'good faith' smile, "But, Roman said that his physique is very poor, and he is very reluctant to enter the karate club. Listening to the report of Police Officer Megure, ordinary people have to be big It will take half a year to recover, okay?"

Romani also froze with a smile on his face, unable to pick up the topic.When they continued talking about other people, she leaned into Amuro's ear and said, "Now, I don't like her too much."

Mitsuhiko finally snatched Yuanta's remote control, and Yuantai frantically stuffed the barbecue with gloom, and asked sullenly, "Are there any other toys, Dr. Ali? Dr. Ali—"

No one responded.Ayumi walked around and said strangely: "Dr. Li is missing!"

"He should have hidden somewhere to eat barbecue." Hui Yuanai said under the shade of a tree.

"Xiao Ai—don't slander me like this!" Dr. Ali came out of the house angrily, holding a bundle of photo albums in his hand.Yuantai ran to A Li in two or three steps, "Dr. A Li, where have you been? Hey, are you holding a new toy!"

Dr. A Li jumped away holding the photo album, as if afraid of being snatched by Mrs. Yuan.Avoiding the Queen Mother Yuan, he wiped his sweat, and said helplessly, "This is a photo of the family, the brats want to grab everything!"

"None of us have seen the doctor's family." Ayumi moved to Ali curiously, "Can Ayumi watch it together?"

"Of course you can, but don't damage the photos. Many of them are precious souvenirs." Dr. Ali sat with Ayumi and carefully opened the photo album.Yuan Tai flattened his mouth, "Obviously it's my birthday—"

He quietly bypassed his field of vision and threw himself on Dr. Ali from behind, and the photo album was thrown forward by inertia.Yuan Tai laughed triumphantly: "Hahahaha! Doctor, you are too weak——"

Ah Li raised her fist to beat him up to vent her anger.Ayumi remembered the "precious" that the doctor said, and trot over to put away the photo album.

The moment she got the photo album, Ayumi saw a photo spread out and couldn't help asking: "Doctor, why is there a big sister in your photo?"

The doctor and Yuan Tai, who were messing around, both stopped.The people who were eating meat and drinking also noticed the movement here, and looked at the stack of thick photo albums.

A Li pushed up his glasses, remembering his purpose of digging out this photo album, and picked up the photos seriously.

In the well-preserved black-and-white photo, Ali's mother smiled gently.There is an older woman beside her, she is a typical oriental beauty, unobtrusive, like a spring breeze, bringing affection.

Almost identical to Romani sitting next to the grill.

Romani took the photo with trembling hands.

Toru Amuro sat with her in the living room, and Dr. Ali rubbed his hands nervously.He found an excuse to dismiss the child, and the others were left in the courtyard, and also declined Sonoko and Shiliang who were out of curiosity and wanted to follow.They looked through the photo album carefully, and saw this woman in a few places.No matter what angle it is, it is too similar to Romani.Ah Li would occasionally take out a photo album to reminisce, so she always felt familiar after seeing Romani.

"Is this person a relative of the doctor?" Toru Amuro asked holding the photo.

"—To be honest, I don't have much impression. I have very little contact with my family, and I don't often mention relatives. However, this photo at that time—"

"This is before my mother got married. Most of the photos of this person are from the New Year's Eve in my hometown. It should be a relative from my mother's side, right? I've never seen it at home. Is it a distant relative?" He scratched his head. , discouraged and said: "I don't have any impression."

Toru Amuro returned the photo album with regret.Seeing Romanni's lost eyes, he wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything.

Romani picked up a photo, but he couldn't hold it firmly with trembling fingers, and it fell lightly to the ground.

On the back of the photo, there are childish handwriting.

"In a blink of an eye, my aunt is getting married too. From now on, I won't be called A Li, but my surname will be Xiaosong. I hope we can meet each other often in the future."

Romani picked it up and fell into a long silence.

"Huh? If you have a good relationship, I shouldn't have never seen it. This is—"

Dr. Ali stopped talking in surprise.

Tears overflowed from the girl's eyes, dripping onto the floor. I didn't say a word, just stared forward blankly.Rather than "crying bitterly", it's more like a doll that suddenly gained the ability to cry, draining water lifelessly.

She remembered.

The two bid farewell in a hurry, and strolled to the side of the path.In the afternoon of the rest day, people passed by sporadically, and they never noticed the strange atmosphere surging.

"My real name," Romani said in confusion, "is Komatsu Chiyo."

Romani-Chiyo was born in a scholarly family.Her homework has been excellent since she was a child, and influenced by her parents, she is even more diligent and hardworking.She became "other people's child".When her peers were still in junior high school, she had already gone to study in California on the other side of the ocean. After completing her studies in just two years, she was invited to Hawaii to enter the Pearl Harbor Laboratory for an internship, and jointly carried out biological science research with California, and then stationed there.

There are also many Japanese people in the same company. Although they are all older, they are somewhat more friendly.

The life of a genius is solitary.They pay less attention to the international turmoil and devote all their time to the production of biomimetic materials.

In the early morning of a winter, the laboratory finally completed the production of the first batch of materials.Chiyo went into the underground closed area to test the materials, recorded all the samples without sleep, and the results have improved.

She swiped her card upstairs with a relaxed mood, and the air on the ground was thicker than ever.

It was December 1941, 12, a day of nightmares.Japanese troops swept the city.It is unknown whether the blood of the Americans or the Japanese has dried up on the ground.The laboratory was in a mess, and no corpse was seen, so they probably got the news in advance and retreated quickly.

Komatsu Chiyo went to the laboratory where he used to work and found the food stored in the past.Worried that the army would go back and forth, they hurried back underground to hide.Ten days later, the war subsided and the laboratory was put back into use.Someone found the dying Komatsu Chiyo underground, dragged her upstairs, and shouted indignantly, "She's a Japanese!"

"Shameless villain! Why should she stay in the laboratory!"

"Damn the race of murderers, my husband has already died under the bullets of the Japanese!"

Countless people shouted, condemned, and vented their anger by pointing at the bridge of their noses.She was branded a murderer.There are some people who received the same treatment as her. Like Chiyo, they are all Japanese students studying abroad.She wants to say:

I am not a murderer.We are not murderers.

No sound could come out of his parched throat, even if he could shout for himself, all of them were pale and powerless in the face of the sea of ​​blood and deep hatred.

If you want to add a crime, there is nothing wrong with it.

"It's too cheap for the Japanese to just die like this." The polite and humble colleague in the past said, "If the PHTC project uses this group of scum for human experiments, it will definitely achieve good results, right?"

I am not a murderer.

The eyelids were cut open, the bloodshot spread, and the vision was dim.

Some compatriots died in extreme pain, and some were still struggling to survive.

Every day, every minute, a different Japanese dies under torture.

Chiyo survived, I don't know whether to say it is lucky or unfortunate.The new material has a high degree of integration with her, and most of her current body has been modified.

The U.S. military has invested a large sum of money in order to complete life science research as soon as possible and put new materials into use by the military.

Everyone knows that the Japanese lying on the operating table is not the murderer.But none of them care.Because those were crazy times.Troops, weapons, indiscriminate bombing.The world is a struggle, and the survival of a group of lowly people is of no importance at all.

After becoming neither human nor ghost, Komatsu Chiyo spent every day on the operating table in a daze.The only motivation to keep going may be the family members far away in their hometown.

Must stick to it.

I will be able to hold on until the day we meet again.

Such a broken and tenacious belief collapsed in the summer of 45 years.

"Japan is defeated," someone said. "America dropped two bombs. How do you call this place? Hiroshima, and—Nagasaki."

The world of Komatsu Chiyo suddenly went blank.

Her family lives in Nagasaki Prefecture.

Thinking of everything, Komatsu Chiyo walks in the autumn wind.

Now is the time of peace.The pain of the past, whether it was violence or victimization, gradually faded out of sight.The victims of war become vague and indifferent figures in history.

Street houses are already very different.She still can't accurately recall the specific picture, as the price of brain damage.Seeing the passing crowd and the neon lights that can be seen everywhere, it is so strange that it feels like being in another world.

Tonight and Hexi.

The tall and thin man followed behind, and after a long enough silence, he asked, "Do you regret it?"

Regret remembering all this?

Komatsu Chiyo thought.Living blank all the time sounds good too.But I will definitely pursue the illusory past.

Which would be better, the illusory past or the fragmented past?

She stopped, raised her head, and the sky was as clean as a hundred.

"In Eliot, in the Black Organization, in Tokyo. I never gave up on myself, in order to be worthy of my past. For the sake of the past, there is a future." She said, "However, the past I was looking for no longer exists. .”

"My pursuit does not exist."

It was clearly used, such cruel words reprimanded the enemy.Renye Karasuma and Motley, are they in this mood?

Toru Amuro also remembered the reason for Karasuma's suicide, and stopped beside her, gently holding the girl's hand.

"Don't do anything stupid," he said.

Komatsu Chiyo shook his head.

"I don't regret it, I won't regret it. Although it's not a good memory, but these are really my things, let me be everything. It's just—"

The sky blurred in patches.

"It's just that I really, really want to see them again."

"Instead of becoming a forgotten person in a long time ago."

Toru Amuro stroked away the tears on the girl's cheeks.He bent down and touched his forehead lightly.It is a warm touch.Chiyo sees the magnified face with tears in his eyes, and it becomes clear little by little.

"I'm alone too." Toru Amuro said, "If you don't dislike me, can we be family?"

Chiyo choked back tears: "What kind of family is this? Whether it's Fuguya or Amuro, it has nothing to do with Komatsu, right?"

"Ah..." Toru Amuro pondered in distress, and then said, "Then, is it okay to have my last name?"

"--Um?"

There was the same warm touch on the lips.

Chiyo's eyes slowly opened wide.

Definitely not someone who is guilty of sin.How could a sinful person be accepted by the gods?

"Let me be your family, even if the world forgets you, and spend the rest of your life together. Okay?"

Our lives start from scratch together.

[End of full text]

The author has something to say: So this is the end!The length is very short, and the main line of the plot is the process of Roman's self-growth, so many aspects are just touched upon and not continued.I hope you all enjoy this flawed work!

It was the first time I published a novel, and at the beginning I felt anxious that "maybe no one will read it until the end".Unexpectedly, little angels gradually left kind comments. I feel so happy that someone is reading the things I wrote. Every time I receive comments, I will be happy for a long time. Thank you to every reader who sees this, Meet is fate www

This novel that still has many deficiencies is here to accompany it. In fact, it was just a brain hole at the beginning. About how the ending of "Conan" ended, I suddenly thought of the issue of immortality. Taking this as an opportunity, I thought of Romani/Chiyo Komatsu Characters with such a background identity added a lot of private settings to fabricate such a main plot. "Conan" is actually watched one after another. It may be different from the original work in many places. I hope it will not be too serious (lying down

Thanks again to the little angels who are here!While I'm busy with my studies recently (I'm so overwhelmed), I'm also writing a new novel, and it may take a while to save the manuscript.If you are interested, or if you feel that the things written by this stupid author are not so bad, it’s okay to get to know them a little bit (God, what are you talking about?

The copywriting is already in the author's column. The novel is called Qingyu Case, and it is an original story of Gudan Jianghu.At present, there are still some ideas for bg stories, which are still being explored. (No, no one will watch it at all.

This period of time will come to an end, friends who have come along the way, see you in the future~~
