In the matter of joining the organization, he has caused irreparable harm to her. He has no regrets. He came here for the belief in his heart.

But if he can get away with it, he is willing to spend his life making up for his mistakes.

And if... he ended his life when it was too late to compensate, he also hoped that his impact on her could be minimized.

Depending on her position in the organization and her relationship with "that person", as long as she is sure that "Zhuxingda"'s betrayal has nothing to do with her, she can more or less save her life.

Maybe when everything is over, he will be able to do more for her. He can give her all of himself and satisfy all her wishes and requirements... But this is all he can do for her now.

Hide all your love for her, wrap yourself in a cold and indifferent shell, carefully and deeply restrain your impulses.

——For their long and bright future.

Miyano Shiho didn't know Akai Shuichi's profound thoughts at this moment, she just suddenly remembered another trivial thing.

Natafi is a person who loves small animals.

She liked golden retrievers and lingered in front of the pet store more than once when she was shopping, but she never mentioned it to anyone.

Even Miyano Shiho confirmed it after observing it several times, and asked her directly: "If you like it, buy one and keep it."

How did Natafi respond at that time?

She just shook her head: "It's just because I like it that I can't take it home."

Natafi always acted unconventionally, so Miyano Shiho didn't ask any questions.

But after hearing Akai Shuichi's words today, small memory fragments suddenly surged up from the river of memories, reminding her of this incident.

——Just because I like it, I can’t let others discover it.

——This is protecting yourself, and it is also protecting the other party.

Miyano Shiho looked at the little golden retriever squatting in front of the dog food bowl at the other end of the living room, eating happily, and was speechless for a moment.

She pursed her lips and said dryly: "Then...how long do you have to wait?"

There is no end in sight to the dark days.

"Wait until I am strong enough."

This was the answer Akai Shuichi gave her at the time. Miyano Shiho naturally understood that as he climbed to a high level in the organization, he would have nothing to fear, or at least less worries.

Of course Akai Shuichi would not let her know the FBI's plan. He looked at Miyano Shibo's frown and softened his voice slightly, as if he was comforting her, more like comforting himself.

"There will come a time."

——But she did not wait for that day after all.

Haibara Ai looked at the man in front of her who had rarely lost his composure. He was wearing Subaru Okiya's body, sitting in front of her, and asking her about the memories that only belonged to the two of them in this world.

She pursed her lips, her voice as dry as when she asked him that question that evening.

"Akai Shuichi, she didn't wait for that day."

Akai Shuichi understood such a meaningless sentence. He was taking out a paper towel to wipe the spilled tea on the table. After hearing the words, his usually calm hands were shaking almost to the point of trembling.

With doubts, confusion, and anger, Hui Yuan Ai asked the person opposite her in a deep voice: "Some people said that they saw it with their own eyes and it was you who killed her."

Haibara Ai didn't want to believe that Akai Shuichi, who smiled and said "one day" in front of her, would do such a thing, but the person who spoke was "her" herself.

She had to believe it, but she also had some doubts in her heart, so that when Akai Shuichi found her straight to the point, she couldn't help but ask.

"is that so?"

Akai Shuichi clenched his fists hard, but he could not stop the violent trembling. He could only stop what he was doing and sit upright on his seat. His hands and whole body were almost trembling.

Haiyuan Ai looked at the man in front of him who had lost his temper rarely in a century, expecting to hear a different truth from his mouth.

But he was too trembling to answer her words, and she almost suspected that the human | leather | mask | mask on his face would show flaws under such intense emotions.

But he didn't, he just trembled as if he were facing a nightmare. The expression on his face covered by human skin mask was unclear, and the expression on his closed eyes was even more unclear.

After a while, he seemed to have finally controlled his trembling, but he clenched his fists tighter. Haihara Ai could already see traces of nails punctured on his palms, with tiny blood stains oozing out.

His voice was soft and trembling, almost like a moan escaping from his throat.

"yes."

--he said yes.

He admitted that she was killed by him.

Haibara Ai has not lost her temper like this for a long time. The last time she had such crazy and intense emotions was when Miyano Akemi passed away.

She slammed the table and stood up. She stretched out her hand and poured the tea in front of her directly on Akai Shuichi's face - if the conditions hadn't allowed, what was thrown at him might have been a table knife.

"Why?!"

Fortunately, it was already late at night, and there was no one else in the dining car except them.

The waiter stood far away and could not hear their conversation, but seeing the strange situation at the table, he did not dare to step forward rashly.

A crazy silence spread between the two of them, and Haihara Ai's hand holding the tea cup was trembling. She stared at Akai Shuichi opposite her, but saw that the other party had no intention of responding to her at this moment.

She put down the teacup with a "pop" sound, and the huge force smashed the teacup to pieces on the table, making the waiter in the distance tremble in fright.

Hui Yuan Ai calmed down and decided not to stay with the person in front of her any longer.

——It doesn’t matter, anyway, now Natafi is back. Since there is no misunderstanding, Akai Shuichi will never get any news from her in this life.

Thinking of this, Haihara Ai took one last look at Akai Shuichi in front of him, turned around and was about to leave.

Akai Shuichi's trembling voice stopped her in her tracks.

"I have no idea."

She turned back and looked at Akai Shuichi behind her.

He no longer trembled and sat stiffly at the table, as if he had been stripped of all emotions in an instant, stiff and lifeless.

"I have no idea."

Akai Shuichi repeated this sentence.

His empty eyes finally focused again and fell back on his left hand.

——The hand holding the gun, the hand pulling the trigger.

Before the operation to capture Gin, Akai Shuichi thought he had planned everything.

At that time, it happened to be the time when Natafi went to the United States to perform a mission. At that time, he even felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity blessed by God.

Her person is far away in the United States, so no matter whether his operation is successful or his identity is exposed, the FBI in the United States is enough to protect her.

Their operation had flaws due to the new agent Kamel, and they failed to capture Gin, and even exposed his identity - all this was expected by him, at least he was prepared to deal with it.

All plans did not go smoothly, but there were no big disturbances.

When he finally broke through the siege, he was able to break out of the siege with one shot, and his physical strength was already somewhat exhausted.

Just when his vision was slightly blurred, a familiar figure suddenly ran towards him in the distance.

His mind suddenly cleared: "Why are you here?!"

The girl he longed for ran towards him anxiously, reaching out to touch his almost fallen body: "If my plane hadn't been delayed, how long would you have kept it secret from me?!"

What greeted her was a sudden kiss on her forehead.

Akai Shuichi's eyes were cold, and his hand holding the gun was very steady: "Good strategy, Belmod."

The "she" in front of her paused slightly, and the familiar look belonging to "her" disappeared from her face.

At this time, only Belmode could still smile in the face of Akai Shuichi's gun.

She looked at "her" face and smiled enchantingly: "As expected of Akai Shuichi, but I would like to ask, how did you see through me?"

Akai Shuichi's finger was already on the trigger: "Earrings."

Thanks to Miyano Shiho, Akai Shuichi later tried to customize the appearance of various brands of jewelry.

The person in front of her had earrings from a brand she didn't like, which made him recognize her at a glance.

This incident happened suddenly, and Belmode came to the rescue temporarily, but due to a moment of negligence, he was caught with a painful foot.

But Shuichi Akai was seriously injured after all, and the confrontation between the two finally allowed Belmode to slip away. He did not pursue him, and his first purpose was to leave here.

Get out alive, and then... return to the United States to find her.

His body was already covered with many wounds, large and small. Even though they had been roughly bandaged, the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss still made his mind a little dizzy. He almost relied on his last willpower to reach the FBI meeting point.

Run away.

He knew that Belmode would not give up, and had been alert and alert, so when he saw that familiar figure again, he almost sneered at the same time.

He didn't even wait for Belmod to run in front of him. Under the astonished look in her eyes, he raised the muzzle of the gun, pointed it at her chest, and pulled the trigger.

Blood bloomed in front of his eyes, but Akai Shuichi smiled.

"It's boring to do the same trick twice."

Without even looking at the fallen body, he covered the wounds on his body and continued to move forward.

He was even in a good mood and started planning. He failed to kill Gin, but at least he dealt with General Belmod, a member of the organization. It seemed that this operation was not a failure.
To be continued...
