[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 47
byProtected by angels, murderous intent dissipates
The sporadic gunshots outside the abandoned warehouse gradually faded away, but the chaos around them did not subside. Instead, there was a more urgent undercurrent.
Belmode escaped smoothly under the cover of night, but instead of driving away, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and sped away in the direction of Dr. Ali’s house.From the moment she set the trap and lured everyone away, she had only one target from beginning to end – Miyano Shiho, the traitor to the organization whose alias was Haibara Ai.
It was dark inside the car, and Belmod looked at the deserted street in the rearview mirror, her red lips curling up in a cold and decisive arc.The iron rules of the organization, the responsibility to clean up traitors, and the obsession for many years have entangled her like shackles. This time, she doesn’t want to be soft-hearted anymore and must kill Shirley with her own hands.
Almost at the same time, everyone near the safe house instantly understood her true intentions.
“Her target is Xiao Ai! She is going to the doctor’s house!” Conan’s expression changed suddenly. He grabbed the skateboard on the side and rushed out. His voice was full of urgency, “Xiao Ai is home alone, there is no time to hide!”
Akai Shuichi immediately grabbed the weapon, his eyes tightened, and his whole body was full of sharp alert: “I’ll go with you.”
Gin followed in silence. The wound on his left shoulder was pulled by the rapid movements, and there was a dull pain, but he didn’t hesitate at all.He has long since given up his pursuit of Shirley. Now, what he cares about has always been the safety of Akai Shuichi. He cannot let Belmode’s crazy behavior destroy the stability in front of him, let alone put Shuichi into a dilemma.
Mary made a prompt decision and took out her communicator to issue an order: “Zhenchun, contact the Japanese police immediately and block off the road around the doctor’s house; I will lead people to intercept from the rear, and we must not let Belmode escape easily!”
The night was as dark as ink, and several people and horses were racing against the clock, all rushing towards Dr. A Li’s house, with lightning speed and an aura of urgency.
At this time, the lights in the living room of the doctor’s house were still on, but the warm yellow light could not dispel the chill in Hui Yuan Ai’s heart.She sat by the window, her heart beating wildly without warning, and a familiar pressure originating from the tissues shot up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her whole body stiff.
She was too familiar with this kind of aura – it was Belmod, and she could not get rid of him.
She suppressed the fear in her heart and just stood up to hide in the basement. The lock of the entrance door was gently opened without making any sound.Belmod’s figure was like a phantom in the dark night, standing silently in the center of the living room, the black gun muzzle pointed steadily at Haiyuan Ai, his dark green eyes so cold that there was no trace of warmth, and the charm of the past had faded away, leaving only a bone-chilling chill.
“Long time no see, Shirley.”
Hui Yuarai froze, her face instantly turned pale, and she stepped back uncontrollably.She was very aware of Belmode’s determination, and this time, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to escape.
Just when Belmod’s fingertips were slowly pressing down and about to pull the trigger, the entrance door was pushed open violently.
“Stop!”
Conan rushed in desperately, his small body blocked in front of Hui Yuan Ai, his back straight, and there was obviously tension in his eyes, but there was no fear at all, only firm protection.
“Belmod! Don’t touch her!”
Belmode’s muzzle paused slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at the child in front of him who was clearly scared but still stood up to protect others, and a trace of slight wavering quickly passed through his eyes.She could ignore everything in the world and kill all the traitors, but she could not really kill Conan. He was the only light she cherished and wanted to protect after she had been trapped in darkness for decades.
“Get out of the way, Conan. This is between her and me and has nothing to do with you.” Her voice was deliberately cold, trying to suppress the softness in her heart and maintain her final determination.
“I won’t let you!” Conan gritted his teeth and looked up at her with a sonorous tone, “Xiao Ai is no longer a member of the organization! She just wants to live quietly and be an ordinary child. Why don’t you let her go!”
Belmod closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the murderous intent in his eyes regrouped, and his voice was cold: “She is a traitor who betrayed the organization. This is a fate she cannot escape.”
The fingertip exerts force again, and the trigger is slowly pressed down. Life and death only take a moment.
At the critical moment, another figure rushed in.Mao Lilan followed him at some point. She didn’t know the cause and effect, so she ran all the way here based on the uneasiness and worry in her heart.Seeing the black gun pointed at the two children, she almost instinctively rushed forward, spreading her arms to protect Conan and Haihara Ai tightly behind her.
The cool moonlight filtered through the window and fell on the tips of her soft hair, casting a gentle halo.Her eyes were pure and brave, with a little trembling, but she did not take a step back, like an angel who desperately protected the weak.
“Don’t hurt them! No one is allowed to hurt them!” Xiaolan’s voice trembled slightly, but it revealed an unshakable determination.
Belmod’s movements completely froze, and his finger on the trigger could no longer exert any strength, and the muzzle of the gun unconsciously dropped by half an inch.
She looked at Mao Lilan in front of her, at the girl she personally called an angel, at her unreserved and trying her best to protect the two children who had no blood relationship with her. The high wall in her heart that had been frozen by darkness for decades suddenly cracked open, and the cold hatred was gradually defeated by the warmth.
The angel stood in front of her, protecting the person she wanted to kill.She could be ruthless, she could ignore everything, but how could she attack an angel and tarnish this pure light.
Conan seized this fleeting gap and spoke in a deep voice, with an admonition in his tone: “Belmod, you obviously also long for the light, and you obviously don’t want to live in the darkness all the time! Let Xiao Ai go, just let yourself go, don’t be bound by the organization anymore!”
Hui Yuan Ai hid behind Xiaolan’s warmth, looking at the scene in front of her, her eyes burning slightly.She had struggled in the organization for many years, and had experienced indifference and pursuit. She never thought that one day she would be protected by such gentle and pure light. The fear that had been accumulated in her heart for many years actually relaxed a little at this moment.
Belmod’s fingers trembled slightly. Years of obsession, the iron rules of the organization, hatred for Shirley, pity for Conan, and cherishment of Xiaolan were all intertwined crazily at this moment, tearing at her sanity.
She hates Shirley, but she doesn’t want the angel to be stained with blood; she wants to complete the mission, but is reluctant to destroy the stability that Conan has tried his best to protect.
The air in the living room was eerily quiet, with only each other’s breathing gently echoing.
After a long time, Belmode slowly put down the gun in her hand, her dark green eyes filled with extremely complex emotions, including unwillingness, fatigue, relief, and a hint of tenderness that even she herself had not noticed.
“…That’s all.”
She softly uttered two words, her voice as soft as a sigh, lingering in the living room.
The killing intent around him completely dissipated.
“I won’t kill her.”
One sentence made Conan and Haihara Ai in the room stunned, with disbelief on their faces.
Belmod looked at Mao Lilan, his eyes softer than ever before, full of doting and cherishing: “Angels should not see blood, and should not be contaminated by this darkness.”
She turned to look at Conan again, and her tone was much gentler, with a hint of acquiescence: “I will help you protect the things you protect.”
Finally, her eyes fell on Haibara Ai, and all the previous cruelty faded away, leaving only indifference: “Miyano Shiho, from now on, you are free. I will not look for you again, and I will also stop people from the organization, and no one will hunt you down again.”
Haiyuan stood there in a daze, with red eyes, almost unable to believe that he had finally escaped from the pursuit that followed him everywhere, and finally gained freedom.
Belmode didn’t say anything more, turned around and walked towards the door, his figure gradually disappearing into the thick night.When she reached the door, she paused, leaving a soft whisper that drifted into the house on the wind:
“The darkness will eventually end, and you should stay in the light.”
The door closed gently, and the crisis in the house was completely resolved.
Conan let out a long sigh of relief, his tense body instantly relaxed, and he collapsed on the ground, his palms already covered in cold sweat.Xiaolan quickly squatted down and supported a child with one hand. Her eyes were slightly red, but she still smiled and comforted softly: “It’s okay, it’s okay. There will be no danger in the future.”
Huiyuan Ai stared at the closed door. The fear and anxiety that had accumulated in her heart for many years completely disappeared at this moment. She finally felt at peace.
A moment later, Akai Shuichi and Gin hurried over and saw the three people safe and sound in the house, and their hearts dropped completely.Gin’s eyes swept over Haibara Ai lightly. There was no murderous intention or wavering. He just looked at Akai Shuichi beside him, nodded slightly to reassure him, and all the worries in his eyes dissipated.
The first crisis encountered by the tripartite alliance finally came to an end with Belmod putting down his murderous intent and letting Haihara Ai go.
The boundless darkness still lingers, but the pure light of angels has illuminated the way forward and warmed the hearts of those on the edge of darkness.
