Chapter 937 Conan discovered the truth of the "dream" - Kudo Shinichi chose to commit suic
Snap! Crash!
Two crisp sounds of being unable to bear the heavy burden rang out almost at the same time.
Kaito's hang glider lost balance instantly, and it spun towards the ground like a knocked-out top; Tetsuken's kite fell apart, the bamboo poles snapped, and the sheets fluttered everywhere like a white flag of surrender.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
The two fell down screaming.
Kaito was an experienced thief after all. He struggled to adjust his posture in mid-air and finally fell face down in a pile of soft bushes. Although he grimaced in pain and felt like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, at least he was not seriously injured.
He even took the opportunity to roll over, not caring about the damn broken knife anymore. Covering his butt that was about to be broken into eight pieces, he limped and disappeared into the night at the fastest speed - this place was too weird tonight!
My equipment is broken, my face is lost, and if I stay any longer, my chastity will be in jeopardy. I'd better run away!
Hanyu Kusunoki used his skill to pull the iron sword away and threw it into the yard. He was a little dazed and scratched his head as he looked at the kite wreckage scattered on the ground.
The precious sword that Koizumi Hongzi wanted flew out of Kaito's hand, and with a "clang" sound, it was stuck diagonally into the mud in the middle of the courtyard. The blade shone with a cold luster in the moonlight.
At this moment, "Xiao Hei", who had been hiding in the shadows - or rather, Kudo Shinichi, who had just finally drunk the potion again and luckily changed back to his original appearance, walked out from the corner, rubbing his still slightly blackened skin.
He looked at the chaotic courtyard that looked like a post-war ruin, and the lonely sword stuck in the ground, his brows furrowed, his face showing a resolute look as if he had seen through the truth and gained enlightenment.
The detective's intuition told him that there must be a logical explanation behind all this!
"Ku-Kudo Shinichi?!"
A policeman recognized him.
"Is that the famous high school detective?"
Officer Nakamori was also stunned.
Maori Kogoro squinted his drunken eyes and said vaguely, "Oh? Why is this kid here too?"
"Everyone, it's me, I'm Kudo Shinichi."
Kudo Shinichi (temporary version) took a deep breath, trying to appear calm and composed. He walked over to the sword, pulled it out, and glanced at everyone. "Ever since this morning, I've had a lingering sense of disharmony."
The great detective began his reasoning show.
"First, there's the mysterious witch on the street who's incredibly accurate in divination," he held up his first finger, "and then there's these three creatures in the yard: the tiger, the frog, and the vulture who can understand human language and can even cosplay."
The second, third, and fourth fingers. "Then there's this weird potion that can change my body and have random effects..."
He spoke faster and faster, with clear logic and organization, connecting all the unreasonable events of the night one by one.
"All of this is so surreal! It's so unreasonable!" Conan's voice was filled with the confidence unique to a famous detective. "The only explanation is—"
He paused, looked around, and concluded with a resounding voice:
"I'm actually dreaming right now! An incredibly absurd and bizarre dream!"
Everyone: "???"
Hanyu Kusunoki raised her eyebrows, Shimabukuro Kimie looked at her subtly, and the Mine family members looked at each other, not knowing how to refute this powerful logic.
Kudo Shinichi became more and more certain of his own conclusion: "Since it's a dream, then everything makes sense! Only in a dream can something so illogical, violating the laws of physics, and even basic biological common sense, happen!"
He felt like a genius, being able to see through the disguise of dreams.
As soon as he thought of this, he looked down at the sharp, cold sword in his hand, and a hint of curiosity and...eagerness to try it out flashed in his eyes?
"People online are shouting 'Hattori's dad stepped down and committed seppuku' every day. It's become a meme..." He muttered to himself, and a bold idea struck him like lightning. "I'm curious what seppuku feels like... Since I'm dreaming anyway, it shouldn't be a problem to try, right? Maybe the pain will wake me up? Yeah, that makes sense!"
Once this idea came into being, it quickly occupied Conan's brain, which was full of suicidal desires, and grew wildly like a vine.
Just do it! There is everything in dreams, and you can’t die in dreams.
If you don't die, you will die if you try.
Only through practice can one gain true knowledge!
Amidst everyone's shocked, bewildered, and incredulous gazes, Kudo Shinichi gripped his sword tightly with both hands and struck a seppuku pose that he had seen in history books and that was extremely non-standard, but he felt was very imposing!
There was a heroic expression on his face that said "I will sacrifice myself for the truth."
"Wait! Kudo! What are you doing?! Put down the knife!" Kogoro Mouri was the first to react. He was completely sober and shouted loudly, trying to stop this tragedy that was visible to the naked eye.
"Shinichi-nii, don't do that! That's a real sword!"
Ayumi closed her eyes in fear.
Officer Nakamori was also stunned. His brain couldn't process this sudden development and he didn't react for a moment.
Hanyu Kusunoki reacted very quickly, reaching out almost at the same time—
He gently covered the eyes of Aoko Nakamori next to him.
"Don't look." Hanyu Kusunoki whispered softly.
Aoko trembled slightly, and her eyes fell into darkness. Only the warm touch of Hanyu Kusunoki's palm was particularly clear. Her cheeks flushed instantly, her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and she even temporarily forgot the bloody scene that was about to happen.
The next second—
"Pfft-"
It wasn't very loud, but it was an unusually clear and teeth-grinding sound in the quiet courtyard at that moment.
Kudo Shinichi actually attacked himself, what a ruthless man!
The sword was extremely sharp and encountered almost no resistance.
"Uh..." Kudo Shinichi's expression froze instantly, changing from heroic and curious to extreme shock, disbelief, and overwhelming regret! Intense, heart-wrenching pain instantly swept through all his nerves!
This feels... so real! ! ! !
Why...does it hurt so much?
It hurts so much that my soul is trembling!
Why didn't I wake up from the dream? Where's the pain stimulation I was supposed to feel? The online guides are all lies!!!
This was his last thought, filled with blood and tears, before he lost consciousness.
His eyes rolled back and he fainted from the pain. His body fell forward limply with the sword still stuck in his body. Fortunately, it seemed that his body instinctively turned at the last moment and avoided the truly fatal vital part, but he still looked very scary and bled a lot.
"Kudo!!!"
"Is Shinichi-nii dead..."
“Call an ambulance!!”
The scene instantly became a mess. The police rushed over in a panic, lifted up the unconscious and bleeding Kudo Shinichi, and rushed to the nearest hospital as fast as possible.
The sirens pierced the night sky again.
Hanyu Kusunoki put down his hand that was covering Aoko's eyes, looked at the police car going away, and touched his chin.
He wasn't too worried that Kudo Shinichi would die.
Do you understand what the protagonist halo is?
That is the life of a cockroach that cannot be killed, cannot be blown up, cannot sink into the sea, and can even be hanged on a tree by jumping off a building.
Think about the tsundere loli at home who asks Conan to "draw some blood for research" every now and then. The needle is as thick as the one used to give a hippo an injection. But the next day, isn't Conan still full of energy and continues to solve cases?
The vitality is so tenacious that it is outrageous.
It's just a minor injury, I guess he'll be back to full health soon.
Moreover, he seemed to have seen that before Kudo fainted, he seemed to have poured the remaining half bottle of random transformation potion into his mouth... In the short term, he should not have to worry about the problem of transforming back into Conan and exposing his identity.
Committing suicide by seppuku...
No, he had to give Conan a thumbs up for this.
He is a real man. When he gets ruthless, he will even chop himself!
This spirit of bravely sacrificing oneself (and risking one's life) in order to verify the dream and try to wake up is worthy of "praise"!
