The white horse inspector slowly returned to the entrance of the fortress. When he looked up, he saw a strong red-haired man standing with his back facing him at the entrance. His silver hair was blown up by the quiet wind, like the waves of the sea.

He rubbed his face, hid the obvious tiredness between his brows and eyes, and cheered up to meet him.But before they took a few steps, Qin Jiu and the red-haired man turned their heads to look at each other, with the same calm expression on their faces.

“How was the talk?” Gin brushed away Shuten’s hair from his face, his tone was cold, as if he didn’t care about the answer to the question.

“Not bad, the goal is basically achieved.” Bai Ma Tan stretched out his hands behind his back and spread out, an envelope appeared in front of Qin Jiu.

The envelope is small, with a silver bottom and black patterns on the edges, but both sides are blank.The most eye-catching are those patterns that seem to record all the mysteries of the universe, which are deep and far away, as if hiding a vast starry sky.

The envelope was empty, and there was nothing there. The envelope itself was the proof that the Japanese official had reached a deal with the owner of the fortress—more precisely, it was the proof of the deal between Tan Baima and another surviving alien on the fortress.

Before boarding the fort, Gin and White Horse spent the whole night discussing how to take the fort without bloodshed.At that time, Qin Jiu already knew that the fortress was just an embroidered pillow for the vicious and the weak, so he was not worried about their safety, while Baima was more concerned about how to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

Regardless of the aliens’ original intentions, cooperation with them is beneficial to the entire earth. It is conservatively estimated that the earth’s technology can advance for several centuries. It is a pity to knock them out like this.

However, there are many powerful countries on the earth. If only Japan cooperates with aliens, other countries will definitely not be happy, and they will definitely attack them together. , they prioritize cooperation with Japan.If other countries can afford better conditions, it will be discussed separately.

Of course, this kind of cooperation is based on the equal status of both parties.The aliens help the people on the earth to improve their technological level, and the people on the earth provide them with high-purity energy to survive—just survival, but for the fortress owner who is about to die of energy depletion, this condition is temporarily enough.

As for other more detailed items, White Horse Detective has no right to make decisions, and the envelope must be handed over to the official for detailed discussion by the bosses.His ability is limited to this, and if he intervenes, he will be overstepping.

But based on this alone, he has made a great contribution.

“Let’s go, let’s go down now, and we can still catch up with supper.” Bai Ma Tan rubbed his flat stomach, pursed his mouth, “I think I can eat a cow.”

“Hmm.” Gin didn’t ask much, “Hold my arm.”

“Ah?” Baima Tan was stunned for a moment, and looked down, only to find that the stairs from when he came had disappeared. It is estimated that the fort’s energy is insufficient to maintain it, or it may be another kind of revenge from the fortress owner.

After estimating the height, he obediently grabbed Gin’s hand, almost wrapping his legs around it.

Falling from such a height is no joke.

Qin Jiu glanced at the white horse, then tightened the hand on Jiu Tun’s waist, and calmly jumped down.The hem of the windbreaker raised with a “hula”, like a parachute, quickly submerging the two and one demon in the clouds.

Tan Baima was frightened at first, his heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of his mouth.But after getting used to it, he felt the novelty again. Sometimes he reached out to catch the clouds, and sometimes he looked up at the starry sky close at hand, feeling very relaxed.

The silver chain on the wrist of the gin opened a protective cover, which weakened the force of falling from a high altitude and the chill at night to avoid injury.The human body has always been fragile, and they are not Conan’s physics killers, so it is better not to challenge the authority of the big names in the physics world.

The distance of hundreds of meters was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye they had already seen the outline of the ground and the people waiting for them on the shore.

There were quite a lot of people, including Ibaraki who was so exhausted that he could barely stand still, Hattori Heiji who was anxiously circling in circles, and Akai Shuichi and Amuro Toru who rushed here after busy work without even drinking their saliva.

Conan was not there, probably still helping with the organization, and Kidd was also arrested by him.There are many troops around the pier, and they are all nervously watching the fortress, and they seem to be more worried than the two parties involved.

Soon, their fears were escalated by the unprotected Gin trio charging towards the ground.Especially when the gin was about to fall to the ground, the act of throwing Jiu Tun and Bai Ma Tan out with both hands scared some people almost into cardiac arrest, and their bodies rushed forward to catch them faster than their thinking reactions.

It was Ibaraki who was catching Shuten, who was eager to see through. He hugged his long-lost best friend into his arms and hugged him tightly, keeping Pippi Xiajing from getting close, and circled around them.Jiu Tun bared his teeth, his bones were “creaked” by his strangulation, but in order to understand his mood, he didn’t push it away, and whispered a few words of comfort.

Detective Hakuba was caught by Hattori Heiji, who almost had a heart attack, but he was not as strong as Ibaraki. The result of catching a living person was that the two of them fell down together, hugged and rolled a few times like rolling gourds, Both fell hard.

“Are you okay?” Laying under the white horse, Hattori Heiji hurriedly asked about the condition of the person in his arms as soon as he recovered from the dizzying situation.

“It’s okay.” Baima Tan covered his head that knocked on the ground, the pain was so painful that he couldn’t care less about being surprised that the guy who was always at odds with him would actually catch him, “…Thank you.”

Compared with the embarrassment of this man and monster, Gin’s landing posture was too chic, and Akai Shuichi and Amuro Toru, who ran over to surround him, punched each other on the head, causing them to look at each other in confusion.

It doesn’t hurt very much, but why did he beat them for no reason?

His eyes flicked across the faces of the two of them, and when Qin Jiu saw them, he unconsciously remembered the two real, fateful enemies who were full of hostility towards him in parallel time and space, and calmly turned his eyes away: “It’s nothing, just looking at you is not good. “

The two of Chi’an: “…” There is no calamity.

Although Wu Wu received a punch each, they were still very happy that he could return safely, and went over to hug him one after another, but he did not refuse.

The three of them threw the burden of explanation to Tan Baima, who had kowtowed to the ground, and hooked their shoulders together and went to eat supper.The person who really needed supper could only hold his hungry stomach and stare at them resentfully, and raised his voice, “Buy me an Okonomiyaki!”

Before he finished speaking, Hattori Heiji grabbed his neck and said, “I left you a bowl of fried noodles and grilled squid, if you’re hungry, eat that pad first, and I’ll take you to eat the most authentic Okonomiyaki another day. “

“Oh.”

……

In the next few days, the major news channels and newspaper headlines were dominated by information about aliens, and the whole world was discussing the cooperation between the fortress master and humans.The authorities obtained part of the truth from Baima Tan, and then cut and beautified this part of the truth and released it to the public. Although the general framework is accurate, the specific details are severely distorted.

However, even Tan Baima had only heard about those details, and the officials didn’t know much about them.Just spread it so true and false, it not only satisfies the entertainment mentality of the public, but also hides the part of the content that is not suitable for publication, the best of both worlds.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, and everyone was happy.Detective Hakuba was rewarded as a hero on the bright side, and the next day he was dragged to Osaka by Hattori Heiji to sweep up the food street.And the real hero, Gin, got a rare free time, stayed in Kudou Zhai and lived a life of salted fish after eating and sleeping, too lazy to make his bones crumble.

On the sixth day of the “conference” in the fortress, Gin set up a deck chair in the yard and lay on it lazily basking in the sun.Not far away, Akai Hideichi and others circled around the grill, very busy.

Toru Amuro turned the grill skillfully, so that the charcoal fire could evenly and comprehensively grill meat skewers, vegetables, etc., and sprinkled some seasonings on top from time to time, and the enticing aroma wafted around it before it was cooked.

Akai Shuichi stood diagonally opposite him, neatly handling the mountain of ingredients.His knife skills are superb, the meat pieces are cut into the same size by a sharp knife, and the pears who come to eat and drink help to skewer the meat pieces with bamboo sticks, looking extraordinarily busy.

Yuzao thought that the prototype was too small to eat, so she turned into a human body and lay on Gin’s body to bask in the sun as if she had no bones.The mask was hung on the head, and the handsome face was pressed against the sideburns of the gin, rubbing it from time to time, lazily and comfortably.

——Of course, it also attracted several death stares.

Shuweng and Datengu sat beside Gin and played chess.Somehow, the two monsters fell in love with this extremely brain-testing activity, and they felt itchy if they didn’t kill two games every day.There is a plate next to each other, which contains several grilled chicken wings and a few broccoli. They eat and play chess at the same time, enjoying themselves.

Yimulian and Natsume sat on the porch, the former smiled and looked at the happy scene in front of him, the latter looked up at the clouds floating in the sky, remembered something, and his eyes were full of clear sadness.

“Here, children, this is yours.”

Lizi grabbed a handful of freshly baked skewers, gave Yimulian one-third of it, and excitedly ran to Qin Jiu to feed his sweetheart, and quarreled with the food-protecting fox on a daily basis.

Their combined ages can span several cosmic epochs—they are mainly pear pots, but when they quarrel, they are more childish than children, and they are finally beaten up by Gin Jiu.

Yimulian smiled, and distributed the skewers to Natsume: “Eat some, I heard from Mr. Cat that you haven’t eaten much these days.”

Teacher Cat didn’t come here with Natsume today, but went to Yahara to drink with intermediate monsters, probably because he didn’t want to meet so many big monsters here.

Natsume hesitated, did not refuse his kindness, took a bite of the skewer.The meat was grilled like it was, and the seasoning was just right, but he ate it like a stick.

Seeing this at a glance, he sighed helplessly: “You can’t always be like this, your uncles and aunts will be worried.”

When mentioning the two relatives who adopted her, Natsume was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and took two more bites, and said vaguely, “I’m fine, I just don’t have much appetite.”

“I know you are still sad about Tanuma’s death, but the murderer, Ibaraki-sama, made it pay for Tanuma’s life yesterday, so you can’t always be immersed in sadness.” Yimulian added while eating skewers : “If Tanuma sees you like this, he will definitely be unhappy.”

Hearing this, Natsume smiled faintly: “I hope he can lose his temper at me and blame me for not paying attention to my body…”

With a glance and a flat mouth, he felt that everything he said was wrong.

They all regret Tanuma’s death, and they have no position to comfort Natsume, they can only let him feel sad, and then walk out by himself.He is a strong child, but such secret pain about loss may stay with him for a long time, even his whole life.

The stronger a person is, the harder it is to recover from a broken heart.

One person and one demon ate the skewers in silence, and did not speak again.Gin glanced that way, thinking hard about whether to tell them that Kaname Tanuma’s soul was put into the body of a fish that only Natsume could see by his dodgy boss.

But considering that the rumors are too tight recently, many people are tracking down the whereabouts of the monsters released by Ibaraki and the others, so he plans to talk about it in a few days.

It would be terrible if Tanuma Kaname’s identity was discovered by uneasy and kind people, maybe he would be sold as a monster to those who have money and leisure and like to seek excitement.Natsume may not be able to fight against the powerful but cunning speculators, it is better to wait until the limelight passes.

Of course, before that, the fish had to be fished out first, and a way should be found for ordinary people to see it, so that it could be kept close by.

Thinking of this, just as Qin Jiu was about to turn over and bask in his back, a piece of barbecue was stuffed into his mouth.

“How is it? Is it delicious?” Akai Hideichi raised the skewer in his hand, pulled off a piece of meat from it with his finger that had fed him, put it into his mouth, and licked the oil stains on his fingertips.

Forced indirect kissing.

“Hmm.” Gin Jiu squinted at him, and not long after he answered, he was fed again, this time by Toru Amuro.

Seeing the same smiling faces of the two, Gin Jiu rolled his eyes.

Akai Shuichi didn’t mind, sat down on the grass next to him, ate the skewers with relish, and asked, “Just now Taoya called and said that the family wanted to treat you to a meal as a thank you for saving him.” , when do you have time?”

“Is it okay tomorrow?” Toru Amuro answered smoothly, and fed the gin with potatoes.

“Tomorrow night is fine. I have work in the morning and afternoon.” Qin Jiu said, aware of the eagerness of the people around him, and said, “I can’t let you follow.”

In the morning he will go to the beach, and in the afternoon he will go to Tanuma Yao’s house, which is said to be invisible to ordinary people in the pool of Yayuan Temple, to fish out the one with Tanuma’s soul. If possible, he also wants to save people by the way. The stupid boss who saved half of it will be beaten up – given that the last one is too difficult, you can give it up at your discretion.

“Then at night.” Akai Hideo nodded, cast a sidelong glance at Tamamo, who was holding on to the gin, and leaned his head on his shoulder, “We agreed, we can go there together.”

“We’re’?” He raised his eyelids suspiciously, Gin had a bad feeling.

“Everyone in this yard except Natsume… oh, and youkai and Hakuba.” Toru Amuro replied with a smile, and his side glared at Akai Hideichi contemptuously, expressing disdain for his childish way of fighting for favor.

It was rightfully ignored.

Gin: “…”

He had a hunch that it must be a special dinner.

……

At five o’clock in the morning, Gin pulled off Akai Shuichi’s hands and feet wrapped around him like an octopus, washed up and drove to the beach.

At this time, the sky was dim, and the choppy sea beat tirelessly on the beach and rocks, taking away the traces on their bodies, and repeated the same process over and over again.

The gray and black clouds covered the sky before dawn. Although they were thick and dense, they could not resist the rays of morning sun that penetrated like tough cattail grass, reflecting the sparkling sea surface, and the two feelings of deepness and clarity intertwined and flashed, which was extremely strange. .

Gin cleverly climbed up to the top of a stone and sat down with his legs bent.The eyes are clear in the flying hair, looking at the sea and sky in the distance, looking forward to the sun jumping out of the sea, as if breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

In the past, we were so busy, coming and going in a hurry, that we had almost no time and opportunity to breathe, let alone dream about watching the sunrise.Now that he has finally broken free from some of the shackles, he naturally wants to be alone, watch the sunrise quietly, and let the mottled marks on his heart melt in the new sunshine.

He is rarely sentimental, because his heart is too cold and hard.But recalling the experience during this period of time, he couldn’t help feeling a little bit emotional.

In a blink of an eye, the organization he was loyal to has been overthrown by everyone, and has become a street mouse in various countries.As one of the members who should have been imprisoned and shot, because of his great contribution in promoting aliens to reach deals with various countries—White Horse Detective Language, many countries have withdrawn his arrest warrants and chose to make him transparent Transformation, that is, let bygones be bygones, in a sense, he has accomplished his goal with great value.

All of this is of course thanks to Yu Suki and No. 97, but when he thinks of the stupid thing done by a stupid boss, Gin’s little gratitude is greatly reduced, and he can’t feel emotional at all.

Fortunately, in any case, the darkest time has passed.

Qin Jiu squinted his eyes and looked towards the sky, where the clouds were all gone, the sun rose sharply, and the overwhelming golden light burst out on the sea surface, and the gorgeous light splashed all over him.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

Gin took out his mobile phone, and it was no surprise that it was Yu Suki’s message.However, what Yu Sakiji sent at this time was not congratulations on his successful commutation of sentence, but a new task.

Mission Name: You and Me in Parallel Time and Space.

Mission level: human level.

Task content: Go to parallel time and space in the form of consciousness, let Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro in parallel time and space go on the “right track” of love, that is, fall in love with you in parallel time and space.

“…”

Gin was silent for three seconds, then raised his hand and threw the phone into the sea.
