MTL - After Binding the Barrage, My Friend and I Wore Red and Black-Chapter 50
"boom!!"
When Gin reacted, explosions followed one after another—
He almost watched as Tsujimoto Shitoto turned back toward the next floor. Less than ten seconds later, an accident happened.
The salty sea water directly irrigated in, and Jinjiu paused for a while, but found a man in the corner.
"Help... help!"
The man stumbled over, with a look of horror in his eyes,
"Hurry up and save people!"
"stop."
Gin grabbed the opponent's collar, his voice suddenly increased,
"Where is he?? Why is it only you who came out?"
"me…"
The man who was suddenly grabbed showed a look of horror in his eyes, but before he could answer, the familiar footsteps were quickly conveyed from the next ruins.
The silver-haired man did not seem to be in serious trouble. The violent vibration that almost blew up the entire lower floor didn't hurt him at all, but his clothes and hair looked a little messy.
Did he hear it wrong?
A layer of suspicion rose in Jin Jiu's heart.
"I'm fine."
Tsujimoto stepped out of the shadows, and he wiped his forehead, still with his calm and calm expression,
"What are you doing? Don't you walk and wait for the water to spread up and be side by side with the shark?"
"…"
In such a crisis situation, he can easily tell jokes, and it should be said that it is him.
With the release of Jin Jiu's fingers, the young master was so frightened that he immediately sat on the ground. The next layer of broken glass is still pouring seawater into the water, and the water level is almost below the ankle.
Tsujimoto ignored him, he checked his panel a little, and after confirming that his body was okay, he walked up first.
He's in a really bad mood right now.
As he guessed, the system didn't seem to want him to die, so this time the explosion didn't have a fatal effect on him.
It stands to reason that doing so is simply self-defeating behavior, but Tsujimoto has noticed the subtle attitude of the system.
He didn't seem to… didn't want to die.
That is to say, if he does this kind of self-defeating behavior, the system will most likely not let him die.
Tsujimoto thought about it, and he did the same.
Sure enough, the system still couldn't hold back the shot at the critical moment.
[You are really the most difficult host I have ever seen! ! ] The system reprimanded in a tone of hatred for iron, while pointing angrily,
[You must really kill yourself to be satisfied! ]
"Isn't this dead?"
Hearing the voice rising in his head, Tsujimoto Shizuo smiled.
"It seems that I am really important to you. Great, it seems that you don't have to worry too much about dying in the future."
[You don't deceive people too much! Once or twice is enough! This time you're going into the fire! Why can't you put my mind at ease! ]
"…"
Although the system has opened protective measures, this only saved his last life.
His health is now only ten o'clock. The system is still a person, at least it didn't reserve a little blood for him.
Of course, Tsujimoto would not be naive enough to think that the system was really saving him because he cared about him emotionally.
Most of the world is still more concerned about themselves, and the other party's willingness to save them is probably also related to the system itself.
Could it be that... if he dies, the system will also disappear together, so the system will go to great lengths to save him?
If so, that would be interesting.
[I only turned on the automatic protection mode considering your current situation! This is specially set for you... After all, you can't do anything with ten health points! ] The system is uneven.
"so?"
[I temporarily opened a blood lock for you, that is, the ten blood will be temporarily locked, but after the blood lock ends, you will be temporarily in a complete coma. ] The system is indignant,
[Just this time! ! There will be no next time! ]
With the first, there will be a second.
Tsujimoto, who was good at using the system, felt extremely relieved at this moment.
"How long will the blood lock last? Is it possible that I won't get hurt during this time?" Tsujimoto was eager to try.
[half an hour! Only half an hour at most! Don't go too far! If you break an arm or break a leg, you'll definitely die after the bleed is over! ] The system is anxious.
"Okay, I see."
Tsujimoto looked at his pale palm, and it wasn't a wise act to pull off the bomb at the last minute, fortunately he didn't cut off his arm directly.
Although his luck has never been very good, he can still save his life at a critical moment.
"Go and tell everyone, this glass booth will collapse soon." Tsujimoto said to the man who was still in shock while sitting on the ground.
"There is a boat that can be left by the security personnel. If you guess correctly, this booth will sink to the bottom of the sea within half an hour."
"I! I understand!"
The man got up in a panic, just about to leave, he thought of something, and immediately turned back,
"Anyway! Thank you so much!! If it wasn't for you...I, I would really die there!!"
Although he didn't know how the other party did it, at least he knew that others risked their lives to save him.
However, the man in front of him seemed to be indifferent, and he didn't even bother to look at him, which made him nervous for no reason.
"Why are you still here, hurry up and don't waste time."
As soon as Tsujimoto looked up and noticed that the other party was still here, he waved his hand casually, indicating that he could leave.
"Ah... ok!"
After the man completely left, Tsujimoto noticed that Gin's eyes gradually became weird.
Without waiting for Tsujimoto to ask first, he raised his phone and let him see a line of words typed on the phone.
[You know him well? ]
Just by looking at that line of words, Tsujimoto Shito could sense the other party's slightly unhappy mood.
"It's the first time I've met someone I've never met before." Tsujimoto looked away.
[It's naive and ridiculous, it's obviously an irrelevant person, is it necessary for you to raise your hand to rescue? ]
"Gin."
Tsujimoto's eyes fell on the other party, and his tone seemed to be lighter,
"If I hadn't done the childish behavior you said, you wouldn't have survived."
"…"
"Okay, time to go."
Tsujimoto finally glanced at the countdown marked on the panel and continued.
"We have to find Carmen within half an hour. If we can't find it, I will probably die here."
Gin put down his cell phone and stopped talking.
He suddenly noticed something.
It seems that since he entered the state of arrest, Tsujimoto no longer guarded him. Even though he had lost one of his five senses, he still showed his fragile neck beside the hunter, and even handed over part of his responsibilities to him.
Is it because you trust yourself?
Oh, how is that possible.
The same mistake Tsujimoto Toto will not make a second time. Last time, he took the opportunity to sneak up on Tsujimoto Toto, and he was almost killed by the other party in the end.
Will he really show his flaws in front of him this time?
Do not. More likely, he is testing his own loyalty.
If he made any aggressive moves again, I'm afraid Tsujimoto Shito would kill himself without hesitation, right?
Thinking of the scene where the man in front of him once smiled and negotiated with the other party, but in the next second he shot the other party with a gun without hesitation, Jin Jiu was even more certain of this.
He didn't have any bad feelings about Tsujimoto's involvement—of course, he didn't have any good feelings either. It's just that the original suspicion has dissipated a little, but it doesn't mean that he completely trusts the other party.
Unable to force him to be completely loyal with drugs, Gin will never be completely reassured.
After all, the two of them worked together as smoothly as ever, but they never really trusted each other.
After all, the tacit understanding of the past will never be repeated a second time.
·
This was probably the most unlucky time in Kuroba's life.
The route given by Tsujimoto Shitoto was of course correct, but he seemed to have extra confidence in his intelligence, and that confidence was naturally conveyed to him.
...Speaking of which, this guy is really as good as the rumors say? Although it looks very reliable, there is no pressure at all to get along.
After getting the gem, Kuroba quickly discovered that there was no one at the originally scheduled meeting place, and many people fled around below, and the scene was very chaotic for a time.
So what should he do now?
The narrow ventilation duct was uncomfortable, and Kuroba Kuito had a gem in his mouth and would not know where to go for a while.
If there is a deviation from the original plan, then it can only mean that Tsujimoto was involved in an accident.
He didn't know exactly what happened... He only knew that if he didn't leave, he would probably be completely submerged by the spreading water.
The water on the floor had reached my knees. Kuroba Kuito carefully disguised himself to infiltrate the crowd. The security guards were evacuating the crowd in a close and orderly manner as usual, and Kuroha Kuito also pretended to be a general public, mixed in with the crowd and fled towards the door.
"stop!"
Without waiting for Heiyu Kuaidou to leave, a hand directly grabbed the corner of his clothes, and a familiar voice quickly rang in his ears.
"Where do you want to run to?? You still haven't forgotten at such a time—"
"Shhh!!"
Conan's sudden appearance almost didn't blow Kuroba Kuito's hair, he picked up Conan and ran away without saying a word, and the expression on the latter's face was stunned.
"Hey! What do you guys want to do!?"
"I'll tell you later! You really wronged me this time!"
Considering that the water on the next floor had begun to creep, Kuroba Kaito had no choice but to carry Conan and head towards the upper floor. After he got out of the next floor, he turned around and ran towards the locker room.
With a "click", as the door behind him was locked, the atmosphere in the small space gradually became serious.
"All in all! That's how it is!"
After finally telling him everything Tsujimoto told him, Kuroba Kaito breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm still worried that no one will say anything. It's good to have you here. Anyway, I will definitely return this stone to you in the end."
"That police officer is really good." Conan's mouth twitched.
"It always feels like this scene is familiar..."
"Did you mean Jingjizhen? No, no, no... They are not in the same rank! Jingjizhen is no longer human, okay!"
"Pfft." Conan couldn't help laughing out loud.
"So you are planning to return the gem to the police officer involved? According to you, the police officer involved asked you to help him take the gem, right?"
"Yeah, do you know where they are?" Kuroba Kaito asked curiously.
"I know, since you helped me, I won't pierce you this time." Conan put down the anesthesia needle in his hand,
"I'll take you to find them. Now the police department is trying to deactivate the electromagnetic pulse. Once deactivation is successful, we should be able to contact the police officer involved."
…
In fact, Kuroba Kaito was hiding something.
For example, Tsujimoto is involved in the transaction with him. This is a secret that belongs to the two of them. Of course, he will not tell Conan.
"Forget it, I won't pursue it if it doesn't involve interests. After all, we are still standing on the same position, and I can't really do anything to you." Conan sighed,
"Let's go there to gather first. I'll say that you are the subordinate of the police officer involved. You can talk to them in person when the time comes."
"Hey, the little detective is still very reliable."
After reaching a consensus with Kidd, it is also a lot easier. Although Kaitou Kidd is very difficult to deal with, once such a guy becomes an ally, it is quite reliable.
"Wait a minute, you mean the location of the electromagnetic pulse is downstairs??" The phantom thief Kidd was shocked when he heard the news.
"That place should be the first place to be submerged?? Where is the EMP removed?? Is he crazy??"
"I am afraid that simple destruction requires a bomb. If you want to block it, you must use a delicate method to crack it before it will affect the entire booth." Conan said seriously,
"Do you think it's easy? That's the center of the entire booth! If you destroy it casually, the people above will die together, right?"
"That was really hard work..."
Heiyu Kuidou pouted, but still didn't speak.
"Speaking of where did you hide the gem? Don't lose it." Conan asked in a low voice.
"An Xin, I have always been very stable in hiding things... Huh?? Wait a minute, is that person in front of me Tsujimoto involved??"
Just as Kuroba Kuito raised his head, the young man with silver hair and blue eyes quickly caught his eye. The silver-haired youth seemed to be talking to the security guards, and the expression on his face was serious.
For some reason, both of them felt a subtle sense of disobedience.
The man in front of him was indeed Tsujimoto, but that sense of disobedience made them retreat subconsciously.
"Conan? You are actually here."
Tsujimoto, who noticed the two, turned his head with a surprised expression on his face.
"And this gentleman... I didn't expect you all to come out? Did the process go smoothly?"
Even stranger.
"Cough cough cough... not very smooth." Hei Yu Kuaidou coughed,
"I met a difficult FBI on the way, so I didn't succeed."
Conan: …
So why the FBI? ? You all like to persecute the FBI, don't you? ?
Well, the phantom thief is quite talented when it comes to lying.
"The FBI actually intervenes, those American lackeys are really annoying." Tsujimoto sighed with emotion, and at the same time said solemnly,
"But it doesn't matter, even if you can't find Tamir's heart, I have a way to get Tamir's heart back into my hands,"
"Return?"
The two finally realized that something was wrong.
This room was completely empty at some point, and when Tsujimoto talked with the security member just now, it seemed that he was talking about evacuation.
The door behind the two was also locked at some point, and the other party seemed to have no intention of letting him leave.
"Crack."
The man casually loaded the bullet, his movements were unhurried, but the sense of oppression conveyed by his body was breathless.
Even the details of the guns used are similar.
But Kuroba Kaito knew that he was not Tsujimoto involved.
"How did you find out?"
[Tsujimoto Shiren] tilted his head, his eyes revealed a puzzled look,
"I should have imitated enough, and even deceived the security personnel. Even if you are called [Phantom Thief Kid], it is impossible for me to find my flaws."
Knew it…
"Hahaha... If you have to say it, you still don't know him well enough." Kuroba Kuito said with a wry smile.
The electromagnetic pulse is not over yet, how could the police officer Tsujimoto, who is wearing a hearing aid, be able to hear it.
Tsujimoto, who can't use a hearing aid, can't have normal conversations and exchanges with outsiders, but the people in front of him obviously don't know this.
"yes?"
[Tsujimoto Shiren] thoughtfully said,
"But that doesn't matter anymore. Give me the gems, and I can let you go. After all, I don't like killing people, especially celebrities like you. It will be very troublesome to deal with corpses."
"We each take a step back, this kind of transaction should be sincere enough, right?"
"What do you want the heart of Tamir for?"
Kuroba Kaito wanted to delay the time, so he deliberately asked.
"That's not what you need to know. Master Kuroba." [Tsujimoto Shiren] chuckled,
"Has anyone told you? Knowing that too many people will die miserably, I hope you know that clearly."
"How do you know my name??"
Kuroba Kaito's expression changed.
The other party directly said his name, which means that he knows everything.
And his words... is it implying something? ?
"Your father died because he knew too much. Now it seems that you should follow in his footsteps, right? What a pity."
The man shook his head sympathetically, but there was only a cold look left in his eyes.
"One more thing, my patience has run out."
"Be careful!!"
The man's finger lightly pulled the trigger, and Conan rushed towards Kuroba Kuito quickly. In just a moment, the bullet left a long bloodstain on his face.
He has murderous intent! !
Both were gasping for breath, and their hearts accelerated to the extreme.
It's weird.
When being watched by the other party, the prey that feels as if it is being stared at by a hunter completely loses the ability to get rid of its shackles.
In this regard, he does have some similarities with Tsujimoto.
"Unfortunately, you can only dodge one shot."
The opponent's gun moved quickly, and his movements were still unhurried, as if he had already reached a conclusion on the outcome of the two.
"I'm sorry, but you can only die in..."
Before he could finish his words, he was cut off by a gust of extremely fast wind.
A very heavy fist hit the opponent's side face like this, and it fell apart with that brisk and elegant smile. His movements were so fast that even Kuroba Kaito and Conan only saw the afterimage.
"Bang dang!!"
He was beaten up and flew out, and slammed into the precious classical vase at the corner of the wall. Countless fragments were shot on the ground along with water stains, scratching the man's gun-carrying hand.
The opponent's punch directly smashed the man's face into the ground, and the punch was absolutely severe enough to make him curl up on the ground and let out a painful moan.
"Cough cough... Damn it! Who is it??!"
The man who was stunned by the punch raised his head ignorantly and spat out a mouthful of **** broken teeth tremblingly. The punch was so fast that he couldn't even react to it until now.
"Crack."
The black leather shoes smashed the ceramic fragments on the ground, and the silver-haired man in the trench coat approached step by step. One of his hands was holding the captured gun, the other was clenched into a fist, and there were even red bloodstains on his phalanx.
He stopped in front of him, and those azure blue eyes stared at him condescendingly, as if sizing up his prey.
The mantis catches the cicada, followed by the oriole.
"Ha...you're still alive. What a surprise."
The man twitched his shoulders and gave a painful smile.
He has the exact same face as himself, but his face looks more gloomy, or rather angrier.
It's normal and no one is more angry when they see others use their identity to deceive their own people.
"I'm curious as to which way of death do you prefer?"
Tsujimoto raised the gun in his hand, grabbed the opponent's collar with the other hand, and roughly forced the gun into the opponent's mouth.
"Forget it, I can't hear you anyway, so I'll help you choose."
Looking at those eyes that suddenly widened, he directly pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
The loud gunshots returned to the room, and Kuroba Kuito and Edogawa Conan watched as Tsujimoto Shitou killed a man very similar to him.
The scene was quite tragic for a while, so tragic that the two felt that they would probably not want to eat red food in the next few days.
"Are you a police officer Tsujimoto involved?"
Conan asked tentatively, he quietly hid behind Kuroba Kuito, still did not fully trust the other party.
However, Tsujimoto Shiren ignored him at all. He threw the corpse on the ground with a gun, then pointed to his ear, and finally shook his head.
That's right!
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief in an instant, and their hearts felt a lot more peaceful.
"Where is the heart of Tamir?" Tsujimoto asked the most concerned question.
Without saying a word, Kuroba quickly shoved the gem in his hand into the opponent's hand.
It was a pinkish ruby that shone beautifully even in dim light.
"He's still here, don't let your guard down."
Tsujimoto accepted the gem with satisfaction, but the expression on his face did not relax at all.
"You guys should know the way out of here, right? Now take me back to the police department. I'm going to find Tsujimoto Yuma."
"If I guessed correctly, [Carmen] should be going to that place."
