That's very honest.
Gin suddenly touched the gunshot wound on his body. "Then why don't you pass on a message to the person behind you for me?"
"Well, you said."
“I will not be turned or recruited by him. I will fight him to the death from my own standpoint.”
"You're overthinking it. He didn't intend to recruit you. I was just being forced to use you, but I was willing to be driven to do these things."
"It seems you are truly dissatisfied with the organization."
Gin disappeared through the doorway.
Vermouth stood there waiting for a long time before finally following her out the door.
Now she's going back to find Lin Che.
The spying operation went much more smoothly than she had expected.
She hadn't expected that she and Gin would be so honest with each other.
But once she actually saw Gin, she immediately changed her demeanor.
The reason is simple: Lin Che, who already knows the location of the base, will find an opportunity to make a move, and Gin's attitude is essentially insignificant.
She can glean a lot of information from Gin's facial expressions.
However, since Gin has provided more and more accurate information, that's naturally the best outcome.
"Boss, I'm sure you expected this to happen."
Vermouth looked up at the cold, metallic ceiling.
The "reboot plan" was just bait thrown out by the Boss.
The other party is trying to lure all potential threats to the surface.
When he learned the words "Reboot Plan" from Gin, Boss had already achieved his goal, just like Pisco raising his gun in the dark.
"The ultimate fate of schemers is always to be alone. You... no, today you have lost your last loyal follower."
Vermouth has changed her plans again.
Instead of going back to find Lin Che, she headed home.
Even though Shinichi Kudo and Sherry have been found, the organization will suffer a major blow even if it cannot be destroyed. She herself has completely turned against the organization, and whether she lives or dies is exactly what she hopes for.
But...
She suddenly felt disheartened and wanted to be alone.
A cold wind mixed with rain.
The organization's black knight left the darkness, but did not walk into the light.
day,
It was very gloomy.
......
Time flew by and it was evening.
At Shinichi Kudo's request, the police covered up news of his appearance, but the matter eventually spread throughout Teitan Junior High School.
Ran Mouri's doubts were shattered once again.
Moreover, Shinichi Kudo did not make a brief appearance and then leave in a hurry as he had before, which made her even more convinced that Shinichi Kudo and Conan were indeed two different people.
The two walked side by side for a long time after leaving the school, but they didn't talk much along the way, and there was a sense of mutual silence between them.
Finally, we arrived at the Kudo residence.
Ran Mouri glanced up at the large iron gate. "Now that Mr. Lin and Ms. Amami are staying here, won't it be inconvenient for you?"
Shinichi Kudo, still caught up in the moment, scratched his head and said, "It's just a temporary stay for a few days. I'll be going out to handle cases again soon."
"Honestly, how many important cases in this world do you have to handle?" Ran Mouri stomped her foot in frustration.
Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but chuckle, "There's not much to learn at school anyway; complicated cases are much more interesting."
Ran Mouri really wanted to say, "As expected, the case is more important to you than me," but she swallowed the words back.
Shinichi Kudo jogged to the iron gate, turned around and waved, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself out here."
"Who cares about you?" Ran Mouri turned her head away and strode off. "I might as well die out there!"
Feeling increasingly aggrieved, she hurried along, her vision blurring rapidly, mentally cursing Shinichi Kudo over and over again.
She doesn't express her stance to me, yet she spends all her time outside, and she keeps showing up in front of me from time to time to stir up my emotions.
This feeling of being neither close nor distant is so annoying!
"Xiaolan!"
Ran Mouri stopped in her tracks.
"I'll make time to come back and see you often from now on. Believe me, you're so good to me..."
"Anyway..."
"Never mind, see you tomorrow."
It's too late to say.
"go to hell!!!"
Ran Mouri turned around and instantly launched a flying kick straight at Shinichi Kudo's door.
Her strength and speed have almost reached the peak of her abilities.
Even with Shinichi Kudo's agility maxed out, he could only barely dodge it.
But there was no way for him to hide behind the iron gate.
From then on, a footprint appeared on the iron gate.
Chapter 157 Game Conference
Shinichi Kudo was so scared he almost jumped out of his skin.
Ran Mouri didn't say anything more after kicking the ball; she turned and left quickly.
I'm utterly disappointed in Shinichi Kudo!
"Her condition probably won't last long."
At that moment, Lin Che's voice suddenly reached Shinichi Kudo's ears.
Shinichi Kudo jumped in fright, "When did you get here?!"
"Just now." Lin Che watched Ran Mouri walk away, then opened the door. "A cold with baijiu can turn you back into Shinichi Kudo, but a cold with a temporary antidote might turn you back into Conan."
The light rain was still falling.
Upon hearing this, Shinichi Kudo rushed into the house.
It was so hard to change back, it would be a real problem if it suddenly changed back again.
After entering the house, Curaçao, who had already taken a shower, greeted Shinichi Kudo with a smile.
She was wearing normal pajamas, but Shinichi Kudo still blushed slightly when he saw her.
After all, no woman other than Yukiko Kudo had ever been in this house before.
Shinichi Kudo gave an awkward reply and went upstairs to his room.
His bedroom was on the right-hand side of the second floor, separated from Lin Che's room by a staircase.
His clothes were still there, though they weren't "fresh," but at least they were clean.
downstairs.
As the door closed, the sound of rain outside the window became so faint as to be almost inaudible.
"Mr. Lin, should I move out for a few days?" Curaçao was still somewhat hesitant.
In her view, she simply couldn't live a carefree life in front of other men.
She was already very uncomfortable and deeply regretted wearing her pajamas.
Lin Che stared at Curaçao for a moment, then nodded. "It's up to you. You can stay at their house over there."
"Should I leave now?"
"Either is fine, it's up to you."
Shinichi Kudo then came downstairs carrying a change of clothes.
Lin Che suddenly felt that he didn't need to live here. He could just move in after Shinichi Kudo turned back into Conan.
He hadn't really thought of this at first.
If Vermouth really comes back later, and hasn't disguised herself, then things will get really interesting.
Lin Che thought about it and decided not to notify Vermouth, especially since he hadn't kept her contact information.
"What are you standing there for? Go take a shower. I'm not staying here for the next few days."
"Ah...oh, sorry, I'm back suddenly."
"It's ok."
Lin Che got up and gestured for Curaçao to go back to her room to change her clothes.
Shinichi Kudo also carried his clothes into the bathroom.
It wasn't until the hot water hit his head that he realized this was his home, and he had let Lin Che stay for free. What was there for him to apologize for?
By the time he finished showering, Lin Che and Curaçao had already left.
Dark clouds loomed over the empty house, and Shinichi Kudo's mood sank as well.
It's easy to feel this way when you're alone.
He lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, staring blankly at the ceiling.
He actually wanted to think about some things, but at that moment his brain just wanted to shut down.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Shinichi Kudo eventually turned back into Conan, and he also fully accepted the fact that Ai Haibara would no longer give him the antidote.
The saddest thing is.
He finally mustered up the courage to confirm his relationship with Ran Mouri and asked her out for dinner that evening.
Before he could even finish speaking, a sudden case drew him away, wasting his precious time.
Vermouth has completely disappeared these past few days, staying at home and not going anywhere, and that listless state just won't go away.
Having reached this point, she no longer needs to persecute or disguise herself as Shinichi Araide, nor does she need to worry about Shinichi Kudo's safety.
Although she still wanted to do something for Shirley, she knew she was destined to fail—Lin Che was someone she couldn't defeat.
As for the conversation with Sherry... let's talk about it after she calms down.
Vermouth felt that she didn't need to do anything now, she just needed to wait for Lin Che to take action.
Lin Che and Curaçao also slacked off for three days.
People can have leisure time, but they cannot lack recreational activities.
The lack of entertainment options has resulted in Lin Che now having to worry about whether Curaçao's period will come next month.
However, my leisure time is about to end.
Dr. Agasa has sent a message saying that the Syndora Group's groundbreaking game console launch event will be held tonight, and they've even sent out invitations.
Along with the invitation, a badge was also sent.
The invitation stated that Lin Che could bring one more person to the press conference.
It's perfect to bring Curaçao along.
