"Shuichi...this is my nightmare."

This is the deepest fear and nightmare in her heart that she cannot tell anyone and cannot be explained by any ordinary person.

Her voice was muffled, coming from between her arms: "Just like you said, I need to do something to find a way to change everything."

Change the final outcome and completely eradicate this eternal nightmare from your life.

And this is already the last chance. After this world, she will no longer be reincarnated in the world of Conan, and she will never meet Gin again.

She won't even have another chance to avenge herself and untie her knot.

I can only sink into an unsolvable nightmare forever in the endless river of life.

"I will go crazy..." She murmured with true feelings, "If I can't kill Gin with my own hands, I will go crazy."

Akai Shuichi looked at her thin figure stained by the morning light, and wanted to reach out to hug her, gently caress her back to comfort her, but he could not reach out his trembling hands.

——If there is only one person who is not qualified to comfort her in this matter, it must be him.

He had done the same thing with Gin.

He took a deep breath: "...What do you need me to do?"

Akai Shuichi already knew enough about Furukawa Kumisa that he understood her purpose of coming to him today to tell her story.

Furukawa Kumisa suppressed the smile on her lips, raised her head, and looked at him seriously: "I need you to help me..."

Akai Shuichi watched her bright red lips open and close in the morning sun, but the words she spat out were so ridiculous that he felt that they were not in a language he could understand at all.

Furukawa Kumisa calmly recounted his plan word for word.

As she expected, Akai Shuichi's expression gradually became unbelievable.

"You're crazy!"

She rarely saw Akai Shuichi being so unable to suppress his impulses, and it seemed that the only few times he did so were because of her.

Furukawa Kumisa shook his head: "I didn't."

Akai Shuichi's hand holding the cigarette was shaking so badly that the still-warm cigarette butt was almost crushed into a ball by him.

"...You know what I'm going to say, right?" His voice trembled, "I won't agree."

Furukawa Kumisa turned his body sideways and faced him directly, "Only you can help me."

Her words suddenly exploded Akai Shuichi's suppressed emotions, and the pent-up anger and emotion exploded. He crushed the cigarette in his hand against the railing and sneered.

"Ha, just me?"

The way Akai Shuichi sneered made Furukawa Kumisa return to the mocking and cold look he had when he saw him in the organization.

His expression turned cold and he looked at Furukawa Kumisa, "You are the only one who is willing to let me do this, right?"

Furukawa Kumisa's pupils shrank.

"This kind of thing... you couldn't bear to let Matsuda Jinpei, Fangtani Rei and that brat do it, so... you chose me."

There was a storm in his cold green eyes - it was the anger and madness that he had not shown in front of her for a long time.

"Because I have hurt you, my sincerity is not worth mentioning, so among these people's feelings, the one you care about most is mine - that's why you chose me to help you."

He took a step forward and stood in front of her, almost touching her. The strong pressure almost blocked the warmth of the morning sun.

"The way you dress, the things you do, the words you say... everything is to pave the way for this plan. You want me to recall the past, you want me to be soft-hearted, and you want me to agree to help you with this."

busy."

Furukawa Kumisa did not avoid his gaze, and looked straight back without avoiding it.

Akai Shuichi read what she meant from her eyes - yes, you guessed it right.

He guessed right, the warmth and memories from the very beginning were all for paving the way for the final plan.

Step by step, his memories and attachments are brought back, just to achieve the ultimate goal.

Akai Shuichi slumped in such a gaze, and the anger in his heart dissipated in an instant.

He shook his head and took a step back, "...but it doesn't matter, I don't blame you."

Furukawa Kumisa's expression finally trembled.

"I killed you once, so I don't blame you for using me, taking revenge on me, or even killing me..."

He became excited again, and he held her shoulders with such force that it was almost embedded in her bones: "But don't hurt yourself - it doesn't matter how you retaliate against me... don't do this to yourself."

Furukawa Kumisa looked at the conflicted and painful Akai Shuichi, and her heart suddenly started to tighten, but she still spoke firmly.

"You are wrong, Xiuyi... I am saving myself - you helped me, and you are also saving me."

She reached out and held the back of his hand, as cold as ice.

"I will come to you, not because I am seeking revenge on you as you said, but -" she took a deep breath, "I believe you, Xiuyi."

Her tone also trembled: "If there is only one person in this world who can understand my feelings, my difficulties, and my pain... that person is only you."

They are people who are also struggling with unsolvable nightmares.

Unlike the two lives of Matsuda Jinpei and Kudo Shinichi, she died under a bullet shot by Akai Shuichi himself. He killed his lover with his own hands. This became a nightmare of reincarnation and time and space that was deeply ingrained in his bones and blood.

But her "resurrection" calmed Shuichi Akai's nightmare.

She saved him and them from the nightmare and shadow of "the death of her lover", but no one in this world could save her.

"Now, it's my turn to save myself."

She wants to do it herself.

"I believe you will understand me and help me..."

Her voice trembled as she added, "...I promise you that when I come back, I will grant you a request, any request."

Akai Shuichi's eyes suddenly became sharp again, and he raised the corners of his lips again: "What do you mean?"

Furukawa Kumisa didn't speak.

Akai Shuichi's eyes were a little scary, "It doesn't work to be emotional, so let's start to reason, right? In the end, will we have to use coercion and inducement?"

Furukawa Kumisa hesitated for a moment and sighed frankly: "Shuichi, I don't want to lie to you - I am indeed prepared to do my best and use various means to... force you to agree to me."

She used the word "force".

Akai Shuichi no longer knew what expression to use to face her. He could only smile, "...Okay, very good..."

He approached her and pressed her against the railing of the balcony. The cold stone bricks pressed against her body, making her tremble slightly from the cold.

His tone was low and dangerous, "What if this is what I want?"

Furukawa Kumisa closed his eyes: "Then I have only one request... let's go back to the room."

"Ha." Akai Shuichi really laughed now.

His tone was already a little crazy, "Why do you want to go back to your room? Isn't it better to be outside, so that everyone can see and hear..."

He stretched out his hand to caress Furukawa Kumisa's cheek, which was pale from the cold, "Then when they ask us why all this happened, I will answer them truthfully, guess what..."

He leaned close to her ear, "Will they imprison you in a safe house like I said before and never let you step out of the room again?"

Akai Shuichi's crazy tone made her instantly see the shadow of a madman in him.

She couldn't help but tremble with his assumption, but she calmly raised her eyes and looked into his red eyes.

"You won't."

She sighed and repeated: "...you won't."

Because Shuichi Akai can't bear to do this.

He couldn't bear to hurt her. He would rather hurt himself than hurt her.

In an emotional game, the party with the deepest affection is doomed to be the loser from the beginning.

Furukawa Kumisa sometimes despises what she has done. She feels guilty for using and deceiving him and them. But when she really faces a choice, she always puts herself first. When it comes to taking advantage of

I never softened my heart.

Shuichi Akai kissed the lips that spoke confident words.

She was always like this, when she was tender and affectionate, it seemed like he was her whole world, but once she woke up, she never seemed to care about the friendship between them.

He fell into the sweet trap she created and couldn't extricate himself, but she only regarded all this as a means to achieve things.

He should have realized long ago that she didn't love him, or didn't love him enough.
