Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

Chapter 233 13

"Okay, fun?" Huihara Ai was speechless for a moment after being teased by Baizhi, and didn't know how to react.

"Haha, I'm just kidding." Bai Zhi put a spoonful of smoothie into her mouth with an ambiguous smile on her face: "Why, are you wary of me now, little scientist?"

Huibara Ai stopped immediately.

She had tried her best to appear relaxed and pretend to be chatting, but looking at Bai Zhi's expression, it seemed as if she had seen through her from the beginning.

"What do you want me to do for you?" Bai Zhi said as she threw a candy into her mouth. The cool smoothie and sweet candy immediately made Bai Zhi feel better.

It’s delicious. It would be great if Xiao Ling was here so we could eat it together.

Oh, I'm so worried. Xiao Ling, Cohen and Vodka are going to do the mission, but Vodka's future is bleak and he may die easily. Wouldn't Xiao Ling be in danger?

Or, should she go secretly?

However, London is extremely far away from Japan. How many souls would it take to teleport there?

"...No need, just don't make more trouble." Huihara Ai didn't pay attention to Baizhi's thoughts. She just gave Baizhi a complicated look and jumped off the sofa to organize the room.

Hmm? Very defensive.

This is much more cautious than Conan. If Conan was half as cautious as Haibara Ai, he wouldn't have been hit from behind by Gin.

Baizhi curled up on the sofa and slowly finished the whole smoothie. The two of them huddled on the sofa.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, but Baizhi always felt that it was not warm enough. Dr. Agasa's house was very nice, but it seemed too big. Although her and Amuro Toru's apartment was small, it seemed very full.

The sun set and the night deepened. Dr. Agasa finally got tired of playing with the dogs. He even went out to buy two large dog houses.

But Hello and Meituan are very close, so Dr. Agasa discovered that two dog kennels seemed to be too many and one would be enough.

Harry fell asleep quickly and soon fell asleep. Dr. Agasa yawned and felt a little sleepy too. Before he could go to bed, he found that Meituan opened his eyes and walked gently to the door.

"Meituan? What's wrong?" Dr. Agasa walked to the door and rubbed Meituan's head: "Good dog, it's time to go to bed now."

As if she felt Dr. Agasa's kindness, she rubbed Dr. Agasa's palm and walked out quietly.

Dr. Agasa hurriedly followed, and under the moonlight, Meituan walked silently to the sofa, jumped onto it, and curled up silently beside Baizhi.

A man and a dog snuggled on the sofa, which looked very warm, but Dr. Agasa felt a pain in his heart.

He always felt that the girl on the sofa was very lonely and seemed out of tune with this world.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to sleep yet?" Huiyuan Ai's voice came from behind: "Be careful of high blood pressure."

"Ai..." Dr. Agasa turned sideways, revealing the girl on the sofa, his eyes filled with worry: "Should we take her to the room to sleep?"

"…Just get a blanket. She finally fell asleep. What if she wakes up?" Huiyuan Ai was silent for a moment and sighed: "She is so vigilant. It must be difficult for her to relax and fall asleep, right?"

"Be alert?" Dr. Agasa was a little confused. He felt that Baizhi was quite relaxed.

Baizhi was wandering around his house all day today and even went out to buy a smoothie. After coming back, she sat on the sofa very leisurely and didn't look alert at all.

"A vigilant person is always very sensitive. She saw through my vigilance towards her at a glance. She is not simple." Huiyuan Ai turned around and said, "Besides, she walked around the house all day today. It's not so much strolling around..."

It's more like scouting and reconnaissance.

Of course, Huibara Ai didn't say the latter sentence. It was just her guess. But today, Baizhi walked around the house inside and out, and every time she stopped to look around, Huibara Ai felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Let's go, it's time for us to rest." Haibara Ai turned around first and walked back to the room.

Dr. Agasa hurriedly followed, found a blanket from the cabinet and covered Baizhi with it, then lay down again. After a while, snoring sounds were heard from the room.

Haibara Ai was almost asleep. She was a little sleepy and planned to drink a glass of water and go back to sleep, but when she saw Professor Agasa standing there, she curiously took a look.

Now that I'm back in the room and listening to Dr. Agasa's snoring, I'm not sleepy anymore.

Huihara Ai suddenly remembered that when Baizhi was unconscious last time, she was murmuring "dad, mom and brother", which reminded her of her sister.

The night always reminds people of more unpleasant past events, so Haibara Ai simply stood up and went to the laboratory.

This was converted from a small room. Dr. Agasa always did experiments here and gave half of it to her. At this time, the tall and strong Bacardi was recording data in a notebook. Hearing the noise behind him, Bacardi did not turn back.

"Don't you want to rest?" Huiyuan Ai came to Bacardi's side, picked up the notebook and took a look: "Your work and rest schedule is really reversed, is it okay to sleep three or four hours a day?"

"I'm used to it. I always lay in ambush like this before." Bacardi said sullenly, "I'll go to bed after this experiment is completed."

"You don't have to finish it. It failed this time too." Huiyuan Ai looked at the data on the notebook and closed it again: "You know what I'm asking you to help observe."

"Well, APTX-4869, an invisible poison that can kill people." Bacardi glanced at Huiyuan Ai: "Now it seems that it is a shrinking drug."

"Why don't you go see Bai Zhi?" Huiyuan Ai didn't answer, but asked another question: "You have been paying attention to her since she came. I just asked you to help, but I didn't stop you from leaving."

Bacardi was silent and said nothing.

"Hey, you don't like Baizhi, do you?" Huihara Ai raised her eyebrows.

"...Not really. When a man and a woman meet, there are either two kinds of situations: love or strangers." Bacardi lowered his head and sighed, "I can't explain it clearly. There is reluctance and fear, but also dependence."

"It sounds like a mother taking care of her son." Huiyuan Ai commented: "Besides eating, Long Mouth can also talk. Although I'm not familiar with her, she's not a mean person."

Bacardi sighed again, feeling mixed emotions.

"What happened?" Huiyuan Ai was a little confused: "If you don't tell me, even those who want to help you won't be able to do anything."

Huiyuan Ai: "Or, what's going on between you and Bai Zhi? What kind of deal did you make with her using your soul?"

"...She saved me three times. To be precise, she wanted one third of my soul to fulfill my wish. To be honest, it's actually very simple." Bacardi looked outside through the crack in the door.

"The first time, she did what I did with ease."

"The second time, she saved me from danger with just a few words."

"The third time, she saved me from certain death."

"When she left, she said that she would come to reap my soul the fourth time, but now she seems to be ignoring me. I just wonder if she thinks I'm useless and abandoned me."
