hostage

day, very sunny.

The man standing in front of the office window pulled up the blinds and looked out. The sky was blue and cloudless. Outside the window, the trees planted by the research institute were lush and green, dark green and tender green of various colors greeted the eyes and brought vitality. It also makes men feel at ease, and there are several flowers that compete for beauty, but they are also delicate and beautiful.

The man smiled lightly, turned around, took off his glasses, and blinked his eyes. He was delighted with the gorgeous world he could see in front of him, but he still couldn't fully adapt, or he had some regrets, or he didn't want to change because of it. The color of the world that has been known and recognized for a long time.As if he got used to it for a while, he restrained his smile, put the glasses on the desk, opened the door, and stepped into a laboratory, which would start his day's work.

However, he looked down at the experimental equipment in his hand, and his brows twitched involuntarily, as if implying that something was about to happen, which made him unable to concentrate. Surprisingly, did he forget something?In the end, he put down his work and moved back to the door of the laboratory. However, as soon as the door was opened, he saw a girl standing in front of the door with a somewhat nervous expression. He was stunned, but his good control ability allowed him to recover immediately. With a surprised expression, he couldn't help but look at the girl standing in front of him.

"Hello, I'm looking for Professor Xu Mo."

The girl's words echoed in the empty corridor, the time was long but hurried, almost two years before she knew it, and in the end, she still forgot about him——Yes, that's right, Xu Mo didn't dare to dream of having more A miracle, forgetting, maybe it was the best choice for her, even, he chose the gentlest way to let the girl accept that her father's death was just an accident, in that lost or tampered memory , there will be no more of him, and there will never be those pasts that are intertwined with darkness. It is just an ordinary life that can no longer be ordinary. After graduating from school, she will take over the Nanshan film and television left to her by Mr. Tao...

This is what Miyano Shiho said, the last thing he can do for Xu Mo.But Xu Mo knew that it was probably another last wish of Mr. Tao.He had always guessed that Mr. Tao must have explained something to Miyano Shiho, and after receiving the notice from Akai Shuichi, they met.

Tao Youran was still unconscious, but Akai Shuichi gave Xu Mo a package, a medicine, an instruction, and a pair of glasses.

"I met with Zhibao once, and she gave it to me."

Xu Mo raised his eyes and looked at the man who was speaking. The man was still wearing a sewing cap as before, with a few strands of slightly curly hair exposed on his forehead. However, his long and flamboyant black hair had been cut short, leaving the back of his neck clean. The neatness made him appear to be more ruthless.

"The medicine is made according to the materials that Mr. Tao gave Zhibao. She said that it matches your understanding and control of brain memory..."

"Letting her forget is indeed the best choice for her."

"It's up to you."

"Thank you."

"I, in the end, failed to protect Mingmei. I owe that to Zhibao."

Following Chi Jingxiu's gaze towards Tao Youran, Xu Mo recalled that Miyano Shiho once said that Tao Youran and her sister are the distinctive light in the darkness, the hope that wants to protect.Xu Mo squeezed the glasses Miyano Shiho gave him, and secretly made a decision...

"I am Tao Youran, the producer of Nanshan Film and Television. This is my business card. I hope to invite Professor Xu Mo to be the guest of "Discovering the Miracle"..."

"It was recommended by Professor Zhang Chenxi."

The girl's voice was as sweet as before, but it seemed to have an extra layer of toughness. The words were clear, like a request, and like a determination to win. Xu Mo's eyes lit up involuntarily, but all of this Not the most important thing, the important thing is that she is different, no, she is different in his eyes.

Xu Mo touched the bridge of his nose unnaturally, he didn't wear the glasses custom-made by Miyano Shiho, but his world is not black and white anymore, he saw Tao Youran wearing a fresh light blue dress, looking at him with pretty eyes, The cheeks are slightly flushed, beautiful and lovely, falling in his eyes, so special.

Is everything a kind of destiny? She used to be the ray of light he had to give up, but after time passed, she became the only color in his eyes after the seemingly unexpected reunion. Then, this time, will he still let go?

"I have watched your recent episodes, and there are some problems with the topic selection."

"Thank you for your suggestion. You may have some prejudice against our program...Professor Zhang gave Professor Xu Mo's number, I'd better call him myself!"

"Hello, Teacher Xu Mo!"

Just when Tao Youran was taking out his mobile phone to dial the number, another girl walked up the corridor, and greeted Xu Mo immediately when she saw Xu Mo, Xu Mo smiled and nodded, then looked at Tao Youran with a smile that was not a smile. Uncomfortable, the called phone rang in his pocket, and then the girl pressed it hastily and silenced it.

Xu Mo looked at Tao Youran, and his smile grew stronger.

"Why don't you come to my office and talk?"

Xu Mo took Tao Youran back to his office. He almost forgot that he hadn't pulled the blinds back just now. The light he saw at first glance was brighter and brighter than when he left. He couldn't help but look back at Tao Youran who followed him into the door .And Tao Youran seemed a little embarrassed by the rude offense just now, and was anxious to explain,

"Professor Xu Mo, I didn't expect you to be so young...I'm very sorry for offending you."

He frowned slightly, and the girl's upright and humble but slightly nervous and alienated attitude made his heart twitch slightly.

"Xu Mo, if one day I really lose my memory, I think, I forgot my name and bank card password, and I probably won't forget you either."

Her firm words in the past echoed in Xu Mo's mind at this moment, but now... I still forgot, should I admire Miyano Shiho's pharmacological ability or should I affirm my professional ability?I sigh deeply in my heart, forget it as soon as I forget it, it’s not impossible to start over from the beginning...

"Human beings have been separated from nature for thousands of years, and have forgotten how cruel this world is..."

—but I hope you understand.

Xu Mo ruthlessly rejected Tao Youran's plan, darkened his mind, then smiled more gently, and said to her,

"It's dangerous to give up your vigilance. Do you want to know how to avoid the danger?"

Under Tao Youran's questioning and curious inquiry, Xu Mo gradually approached her, almost pushing her in front of the blackboard in the office. With one hand propped on the blackboard, he stared at Tao Youran's face. Never dazzling, but endless tenderness.Xu Mo hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer to Youran's ear again, and said softly,

"In times of danger, trust your instincts."

"You trust me that much? Why?"

"Instinct, I want to trust you."

——What I want more is to trust your intuition and trust me as you once did, even if you have forgotten.

——I may bring you danger, but I am destined to be your knight, and you are my hostage...

"You and I have a dangerous relationship, holding each other hostage, and this other part of me thought that this complete the definition of love, so I obediently guarded you." 』

(From the song "Hostage" by Zhang Huimei, the lyrics are written by Leng Wanshu.)

"Ares!"

In the middle of the night, Xu Mo finished the final report of a project and just came out of the research institute. The streets lined with trees on both sides were dimly illuminated by the night light, reflecting a gray figure on the stone slab on the ground, in Xu Mo's eyes. behind Mo.

Xu Mo stopped in his tracks without turning his head, but narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth inexplicably.

"Is the Queen showing signs of awakening?"

"I'll handle it."

"Yes!"

"The thing that asked you to track down?"

"That little girl, who seems to be called Haibara Ai, is currently staying at No. 2, No. 22 Street, Mihuacho, Tokyo. The owner of that house seems to be a doctor. She is quite old, and it has not been found out that she has anything to do with her. "

"Ah……"

"Ares?"

"Continue to follow up, create a file, only report to me, don't be discovered, otherwise..."

"Yes, I understand, is she... Queen?"

Hearing this, Xu Mo looked back sharply, the man behind him took a few steps back, lowered his head, and said awkwardly,

"I talk too much."

"Ah."

"Then, the encoding of the file..."

Miyano Shiho's cold voice seems to be echoing in his ears at this moment: His name is Kudo Shinichi, and he lives at No. 2, No. 21 Street, Mikacho, Tokyo.

——Exclude everything that is impossible, and what remains, no matter how impossible, is the truth. (Detective Sherlock Holmes, four signatures)

"No. 221..."

【postscript】

Nearly 2 months, the progress is not fast, but it is not slow for me, from the idea to the complete idea, so far, I still feel that I have brought myself some surprises and a lot of happiness, not to mention Ingenious, but I personally really like my idea of ​​going back to the original point, and of course I am very grateful to the friends in the group for their advice and support.

I personally think that I don’t have such a thing as writing, and the words are very monotonous and lacking. In fact, the overall structure of such a text that needs to be logically sorted out is indeed very loose. From the initial enthusiasm to the end, it is actually weak in succession .In fact, there are still many unanswered questions, such as Zhang Chenxi, a strange and mysterious character, and the real secrets of the two organizations. In the end, I am not too lazy to explain, but I feel that the unresolved is the relationship between love and harmony. The biggest charm of the two stories of Conan, of course, does not rule out the fact that I am not capable enough and do not want to show weakness.

Then, OOC, I hope you understand. Maybe I can figure out Xu Mo’s character well in a short story, but it’s really easy to go astray when I write a long story... Maybe the result will be very different from everyone’s imagination, but this is me The story I want to tell.

Moreover, I feel that the last few chapters are really rough and impatient. The main reason is that I want to finish it as soon as possible before the new chapter of Love and Love comes out. After all, the new chapter is likely to overturn my original setting, so that's it.I won’t be editing the essay in the short term, and I really don’t want to write serialization in the future, I just want to write a cookie from time to time.

Finally, there is an extra episode in the plan’s conception, and Xu Mo’s chapter is a must—the story of "The Hostage" uses a lot of official dating plot stalks, which shouldn’t appear in the private timeline. Come back; there is still a Sherry chapter to be written, and there may be an Anna chapter. As for Youran, whether it will be mixed with Xu Mo's chapter, I have to think about it.

That's all for the above, if you have any good extra suggestions, please let me know, thank you for watching!
