Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara stared at Conan with a look as if saying "You're crazy".

Seeing the firmness in Conan's eyes, she suddenly felt powerless.

How to say it.

Now she is like a person who has been wading through a very deep puddle.

It was because she waded through the puddle that she knew how deep and turbid the puddle was.

But now, as a person who has experienced it, she can't stop Conan, who has not wading through the puddle, and trying to wading through the puddle... This makes Haibara's sad mood very complicated.

In this regard, Conan of course also noticed Ai Haibara's look like a madman, but he ignored it.

After all, the two of them are not on the same path now.

Whether it is position or essence.

Always living in the shadow of the organization, Ai Haibara is the type of person who "escapes are shameful but useful".

Conan, whose father is a family and his mother is a retired actor, grew up in an impeccable and perfect family, has only a handful of dark sides of contact...

Therefore, it is different from Ai Haibara.

Conan believes in the truth that "if you want, you have to fight for it with your own strength. Those who only know how to escape and wait are losers."

The two are now completely different extremes.

The air is silent for a few seconds.

The two of them stared at each other with eyes.

In a brief and speechless atmosphere, pressing the phone a few times, Conan continued to Ai Haibara:

"Doctor Agasa will take the children to the aquarium for tomorrow's holiday."

"I will invite Mr. Shirakawa to come and find a chance to test him."

Speaking of this, Conan paused for a moment and looked at Ai Haibara.

"So, what are you going to do then?"

“…If you are not interested, pretending to be sick at home is also a good choice.”

...

And at the same time.

In the room without a trace of light, Rum was looking at the computer screen.

By the way, this room seems to be deep underground, like a design that can avoid air raids - the ceiling stand is slightly low, but it gives people a full sense of security.

Just in front of Rum, inside the computer screen, there was a blurry black shadow.

In a sense, this black shadow is the gentleman that organization members often mention.

"If you say so, is it true that Keshwasher, the mastermind behind the disappearance of Curacao?"

"So, our first priority now is to deal with Keshwasher as soon as possible?"

Rum is talking to the dark shadow on the computer.

The sound of the black shadows is filtered by electronic devices and looks extremely hazy.

Empty and ethereal, nothingness and hazy.

——It looks like the voice of a man and the voice of a woman.

"That's right." Rum nodded, "as long as Keshwasher is killed from the root, the internal division will stop. The members of the organization who are optimistic about Keshwasher's power will have no room for intervention."

Speaking of this, Rum raised his head and added: "As long as you can take action..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the black shadow kept shaking his head.

"If you act rashly without evidence, you may achieve counter-effects. It may also lead to the opponent's hype and injustice in the organization."

"...In this way, those who are interested may use some banner to start from within, making us embarrassed."

"Recently, there have been rumors that many members are involved in foreign intelligence organizations... At this critical moment, you must not act rashly."

The black shadow finished speaking.

Rum leaned against the back of the chair, and although the expression on his face was reluctant, he accepted it.

Since he built the foundation of the organization, the gentleman has not been in his organization for many years.

Of course, Rum knew why the other party had been silent.

It’s not because of nonsense order and legal system... the organization wants nothing but fairness? Just now, it was just an excuse the other party made casually.

The gentleman never needed a legal system or a reason to kill someone.

But the other party still looked "deaf ears to the outside world", which clearly showed that he was unwilling to provide him with any assistance, so that he could repair the loopholes in the organization, deal with the thorns in the organization, and settle internal disputes.

The gentleman was not interested in these.

Because in the final analysis.

The original reason why the organization was founded was to achieve one of the gentleman's personal goals.

And now, it has been several years since the organization was created—or life.

Even if the organization itself grows extremely strong, this purpose has never changed.

In the eyes of that gentleman, organizations not only represent powerful armed forces, countless mountains of gold and silver, deep-rooted huge political power... It is also a map to eternal life and bliss

That's right.

It is different from other members of the organization.

That gentleman is pursuing something that ordinary people cannot reach.

Rum looked at the dark shadows on the screen.

After a long time, he sighed and said in a low voice: "Maybe, it's time for others to take on the obligation to lead the organization."

"..." The black shadow was silent when he heard this, as if he hadn't heard it, and did not respond to Rum.

"The organization itself is just an interest group, and there are very few people who know the real purpose of the organization."

Rum continued.

"In your opinion, maybe this matter is just a small fight, and you can suppress it with just a flick of your wrists. But I still have to solve how to erase the root cause-"

Not finished speaking.

The outline of the black shadow moved.

The gentleman looked up so that Rum could see his face clearly.

"Rum, please."

Rum looked at the shadow.

Time is merciless to treat him, who is born weak.

But his eyes, even after so many years, were still as dark as himself, rippling with the dark black like a crow's wings, which could not be diluted by disease or time.

——It is a pair of eyes that have seen terrifying scenes and have experienced the vicissitudes of life, but there is also a strange warmth inside, as if there is a secret to share, specifically with you.

The shadow looked straight at Rum, his eyes full of pleading.

"You and I, we both led this organization and achieved unprecedented achievements that human technology could never imagine in our dreams."

The black shadow said.

"If I could give me a little more time, this achievement - our achievement, Rum, would last forever."

"…This organization is the future of Japan, and we can even ensure the evolution of the entire world, without a doubt."

The black shadow's voice was soft and even inaudible.

But Rum could hear it clearly.

He cleared his slightly heavy voice and replied helplessly: "I am not interested in the future of the whole world. I may be more concerned about the future of the organization."

The dark shadow breathed a sigh of relief: "But you will do it, right?"

Rum nodded silently.

After finishing the communication with the black shadow, Rum sat in a chair, closing his eyes to rest.

As a result, after he reported Keshwasher's affairs to the boss, the boss seemed not to take it seriously, and was still immersed in the dream that belonged to him alone.

The flood is surging, what does it have to do with me?

——In a nutshell, the boss said it for a long time and wanted to express this meaning.

He is a totally stupid lord.

Rum sighed deeply, changed his position, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, leaving the boss behind.

As expected, the task assigned to Keshwasher may have caused the opponent to lose his footing.

Rum decided to keep his energy and give him a gift when the time comes.

And just then, a message came from his cell phone.
