Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 255 Do You Want Some Drinks? (over)

"The actions of the organization..."

Qingming drinks coffee.

Turning his head to one side, he seemed to be looking out at the street through the window, but he was actually aiming at Conan.

Conan looked at him with wide eyes, expecting his answer.

He seemed a little worried again.

After all, Qingming is too strange a person, he may tell him the information, or he may not, which may have something to do with Qingming's mood, so every time he asks, Conan is a little nervous.

Qingming is a strange person.

Although we have known each other for a long time, until today, Conan still can't really see him through, so he is always not very sure about Qingming.

But he had to ask Qingming for help.

Although now he hooked up with those people from the FBI, at least for now, the FBI will not disclose too much information to him, so Qingming is his important source of information.

However, Qingming has not provided him with much information until now.

Will it happen this time?
"Um……"

Qingming thought about it.

He has always positioned himself as a "bystander", so he basically doesn't care about things, and he doesn't specifically want to change anything. Unlike those who want to control their own destiny, he is more like being pushed by fate.

If the so-called destiny really exists.

For things that don't know whether they exist, sometimes you don't need to worry too much.

Not to mention that.

"Hospital."

"?"

"A member of the organization has sneaked into the hospital, man. As for who it is, you can find it yourself."

After saying this, Qingming directly waved his hand to see off the guests.

Conan was also savvy, and left after thanking him.

Qingming is still sitting there, drinking coffee, watching the pedestrians coming and going outside, every day is the same, and every day is different, human beings always repeat similar things.

"It's such a world after all!"

Sigh lightly.

At this moment, he wanted to leave quickly.

But if you think about it carefully, the human beings in this world live the daily life that belongs to this world. Isn’t it the same for the human beings in another world?At most, the specific things are different.

From ancient times to the present, the content may be different, but in essence it is just repeated.

"If you think about it that way, it's really boring."

……

Qingming just watched Conan's matter, like watching a movie.

Then do your own thing.

If you want to say, maybe Qingming is also a researcher, but unlike a researcher like Hui Yuanai, what he studies is something different from science.

Taoism.

Maybe it was given by the gods, maybe it was developed by humans themselves, all in all, it is a kind of magical thing.

It can turn mountains and rivers upside down, make the sun and moon hang upside down, go up to be poor and blue, go down to the underworld, and even shine with the sun and moon, and live the same life as the heaven and the earth. It is not a god, but a god.

People can become gods.

But what exactly is "God"?
Qingming doesn't know.

But perhaps because of the continuous improvement of one's own abilities, one gradually has more understanding. Perhaps "God" is the so-called "Tao", which exists or does not exist.

It cannot be proved that it exists, nor can it be proved that it does not exist.

The more you improve your abilities, the more you will feel your own insignificance, just like climbing a height to look far away. The higher you stand and the farther you see, the more you can understand the vastness of this world.

If one day, you leave the earth and go to the space, you will find that this world is bigger than you imagined.

However, in the endless time and space, there is not only one world.

Qingming wants to leave.

But I have always been worried.

But as long as this idea doesn't change, he will leave eventually, it's just a matter of time.

Will it change?

……

night.

Building roof.

The Taoist priest and the witch made an appointment to meet here.

Why meet?

It doesn't matter, the important thing is that two people have made an appointment and meet here.

No one spoke.

They are not very familiar with each other. Although they have fought secretly many times through Taoism and magic, it is not something worth mentioning.

There shouldn't be any intersection between Taoist priests and witches.

I don't know if fate is playing a joke, or if there is a mistake in some link, so that this world has an extra person like Qingming, so things that didn't happen, happened, things that should have happened, many of them will never happen again occur.

Too lazy to change.

But the existence of Qingming itself is the biggest change.

What is fate?
"Um……"

The witch played with the tarot cards in her hand.

She seems to use this to perform divination, which is different from Taoist fortune-telling, which is not an ability of the same system.

But in essence, it may not be different.

"You want to leave?"

She asked suddenly.

Maybe it was the result obtained through divination, or maybe it was learned about this matter from other channels.

It does not matter.

For the Witch, this didn't seem to be something worthy of attention. There was no expression on her face, and she couldn't see any emotions, perhaps she was just asking casually.

In fact, that's all.

Apart from being an opponent, how about Qingming, does she have half magic relationship with her?
"Ah."

Qingming nodded lightly and responded.

Human beings are strange creatures. There are many things that are hard to say with familiar people and dare not be said, but they can open their hearts to people who have nothing to do with them and strangers.

Qingming has seen it.

Two people who meet by chance on buses, trains, and planes will chat like close old friends, tell about their boredom, tell about all kinds of unreasonable things among their relatives and friends, and so on.

Because they know that when they get off the car or the plane, they will go their separate ways, and they will never have the slightest intersection again, so they can speak out some things that they usually dare not say, whether it is complaining or something.

No malice, just wanted to say something.

Maybe I also want to find a sense of identity that I don't know is true or false in a certain matter, and find some comfort that is even useless.

Between Qingming and the witch, that level cannot be achieved.

But there are some things that Qingming doesn't mind talking about and talking about openly and honestly.

"It's fine to leave."

The witch also nodded, seeming to agree with Qingming's decision.

Then why doesn't she leave?

Qingming looked at her, but didn't ask.

She is different from Qingming. Qingming does not belong to this world in essence. She has been in this world for so long, and she doesn't have much sense of identity with this world. It can be said that she is incompatible with this world.

The witch is different. She was born and raised here, and she will eventually bury herself here, turning her life into an insignificant trace and engraving it into the history of this world.

"The world is too small for you."

She spoke.

"You should take risks instead of living aimlessly like you are now. You should see the wider world and find more powerful opponents instead of wasting time and wasting time here."

The bystander is clear, maybe she can see clearly.

For Qingming, this world is too simple, there is no rival, and there is nothing that interests him, so Qingming lives like an ordinary person.

Occasional pranks are one of the few pleasures of Qingming.

He can also bully others, Hui Yuanai is the victim.

Qingming did not speak.

for a long time.

"how about you?"

he asked.

"You don't want to leave? Why?"

"I'm not like you, there's no reason."

"..."

That's right.

Qingming nodded and fell silent again.

The two stood on the top of the building, looking at the lights of thousands of houses below, shining like a galaxy.

But this is not a galaxy, just a small city.

too small.

It was so small that Qingming felt that perhaps under his current all-out attack, the city would be wiped out soon.

The witch can understand this too.

"This world is not suitable for you, you will have to leave sooner or later."

Yes, sooner or later it will leave.

If this is the case, it is better to make a decision earlier, and you don't need to be so entangled all the time.

It's a gamble.

"So……"

"Those people who are related to you, I will help you take care of one or two."

"Thank you very much then."

Qingming nodded.

The words of the witch are enough, at least when Azusa Enomoto and the others are in danger, the witch will help.

It's time to leave.

……

manor.

In the hall on the first floor.

Qian and the twin maids stood in front of Qingming, waiting for Qingming's orders.

Qingming wrote them a number.

"If there is anything you can't do in the future, just call her and she will help."

That's the witch's number.

Of course, the witch will also monitor this side through the black cat, and if necessary, she will help out. This is an agreement with Qingming.

I have to say that the witch is a good person.

At least it's better than Qingming.

"I also gave you the card before, and the money in it is enough for you to use for a long time. During my absence, the manor will be handed over to you, Suo Nami, Minaho, you just follow Akane's orders."

"Yes."

The twin maids responded.

Qingming was explaining the "funeral affairs", saying that he would be away for a while, but he didn't say anything about where he was going and how long he would be back.

They didn't ask either.

Qingming is not an ordinary person. Without knowing it, they will not worry about Qingming.

So does Akane.

"Okay, go and rest, you don't have to prepare my breakfast and dinner starting tomorrow."

"Yes."

The twin maids responded, then turned and left.

Xi wanted to say something.

But Qingming didn't give her this chance, she left the hall and went upstairs, leaving her behind.

Akane could only remain silent.

Then he sighed and went back to his room to rest.

……

Qingming is ready.

Sooner or later, I have to leave, so after talking with the witch, I left as soon as I said, without any intention of delaying.

Everything that needs to be explained has also been explained.

Azusa Enomoto and Naoko Takei also explained in advance.

leftover……

Well, there is nothing in particular that needs to be explained.

Ayumi, Ran, and Shinna Kabori, if they can't find him, Azusa Enomoto or Akane will naturally explain to them, there is no need to explain it specifically.

"Well, it's time to go."

Qingming said so.

In my own room, I cleared the last character in a game, and without seeing any welfare screen, I just turned off the computer and packed everything up.

I don't know if I can come back.

But it is not important.

Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to linger too much, just move towards your goal.

"The future of this trip is slim, I only hope that there will be a period in the future."

……

a new day.

Haibara Ai didn't see Qingming, and Enomoto Azusa in the coffee shop couldn't wait for Qingming either.

Not just today.

For several days after that, Qingming seemed to have disappeared, and never appeared in anyone's sight again.

Because it has indeed disappeared.

For Hui Yuan Ai, this may be a good thing, because the Qingming who always bullied her is gone, and she can live more easily.

But he couldn't relax.

As for Azusa Enomoto, she was already mentally prepared.

Just sighed, and kept busy with the coffee shop business as best I could.

Of course, because Qingming is not here, Mengpo soup and coffee are also off the shelves. After all, without Qingming, she can't help others realize their wishes. That's what Qingming can do.

Now, there is no need to cheat people.

Ayumi will not come here often, because there is no her "Oni-chan Oni-chan" here, although Enomoto Azusa is still there.

It's not important anymore.

"That guy, you really want to leave as soon as you say!"

Suzuki Sonoko was a little upset.

The main reason is that Suzuki Ayako, Qingming's sudden departure seems to have dealt a big blow to her, and she has not been in a good mood recently.

She really doesn't understand.

It's just a mere coffee shop owner, but her sister really cares, and she hasn't seen her a few times.

"Maybe there is something urgent."

Xiaolan helped Qingming say something.

Then change the subject and talk about other things, so that Suzuki Sonoko can stop worrying about it.

Conan followed.

He has been busy with the affairs of the hospital recently, and thanks to Qingming's information, he has made new discoveries.

That aside.

Now that Qingming has left, he doesn't feel that there is anything. Originally, Qingming didn't help him too much, but only provided some information.

Just a little curious: Where did Qingming go?
……

In the endless time and space, there are many similar and different worlds.

Perhaps because of an accident, people in this world appear in another world, which is the so-called "time travel".

Generally speaking, this is uncontrollable.

But in fact, for people with special abilities, "time travel" is possible to control.

For example Qingming.

Relying on the Taoism he has learned, he can do many things, including things like "time travel".

Sometimes he wondered if those Taoist priests and magicians disappeared because they wanted to travel to other worlds.

This cannot be proven, nor is it important.

Qingming, who risked his life to act, succeeded and appeared in an unknown, and possibly known world.

It was a forest.

A five or six-year-old girl with double ball hair is practicing throwing shuriken and so on.

Qingming suddenly appeared in front of her.

It looked a little embarrassed, but it was definitely a person, a teenager.

When she was stunned, Qingming walked up to her.

He grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"Little girl, what's your name? Where is this place?"

"?"

The little girl blinked.

Maybe he was still in a daze, but he quickly came to his senses.

"day by day."

She opened her mouth to answer.

Perhaps he felt that the boy in front of him was not a bad person, so he didn't mind explaining.

"This is the Land of Fire, Konoha Ninja Village."

"Oh!"

The young man nodded.

He raised his head again, as if looking for something, and seemed to be looking at the sky.

for a long time.

He raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile.

"It's a world where you can have fun for a while."

After finishing speaking, I remembered something again.

From somewhere on his body, he took out a thermos and a cup, and poured out some dark green, bubbling, and disgusting-looking unknown liquid from the thermos.

With a sunny smile on his face.

"One cup of refreshment, two cups of never-tiring, three cups of immortality, if you drink three cups in a row, you can help you fulfill a wish, so, little girl, how many cups do you want?"

"?"

"Complete Book"

　Dangduan is constantly rebelling against it, so let's stop here, anyway, this is the way this book is, a complete failure

　　Sure enough, I don't have the talent to write novels.

　　As for the new book...

　　probably not anymore

　　From the beginning of writing novels to now, I have written several million words, but unfortunately the results are just like that. It is time to recognize myself and give up.
　　I am very grateful to the book friends who have supported me until now, thank you very much, and I am very sorry, the novel is written like this, I am really ashamed of you

　　There's so much I want to say, but I don't know where to start
　　There is an old saying: There is no feast that never ends

　　so call it a day

　　treasure
