    The remaining warmth after the war, walking together on the road ahead

    The chaos at Kirigakure Shrine gradually subsided, and the smoke in the mountains and forests slowly dispersed.

    The police and follow-up support troops sealed off the entire mountain forest, and the remaining members of the organization were escorted away one by one. The gentleman and Rum were officially arrested. The black shadow that had shrouded everyone for many years finally dissipated and would never come back again.

    The sun shines through the mist in the forest and gently shines on Gin’s shoulders. The bleeding bandage is particularly dazzling in the morning light.Akai Shuichi frowned and pulled him to the temporary medical point aside without any explanation, with a tone of insistence that could not be refused.

    “Sit down and treat the wound again. We can’t put it off any longer.”

    Gin wanted to wave her hand and refuse, but when she saw the worry and intransigence in his eyes, she finally sat down obediently.The top killer who was once decisive in killing, a loner, and never controlled by others, is now willing to be controlled by the people in front of him, and his heart is filled with the warmth of stability.

    The medical staff came forward to change his dressing. Akai Shuichi stood aside, holding his uninjured hand tightly throughout the process. The warmth from his palm was steadily transmitted, soothing the pain of the wound and warming his heart.

    “Just tell me if it hurts, don’t hold on.”

    “It doesn’t hurt.” Gin responded in a low voice, but his eyes always fell on Akai Shuichi’s face, never moving away for a moment, “Compared to the injuries in the hail of bullets before, this small injury is nothing.”

    Not far away, Conan and Huihara Ai stood side by side, looking at the dependent figure here, their eyes complex but completely calm, without any guard or fear.

    Hui Yuan Ai sighed softly and said in a relieved tone: “I didn’t expect that in the end, it would be him and you who ended all this and completely got rid of the darkness.”

    Conan pushed up his glasses, his eyes clear and gentle: “He took the initiative to choose the light, and also kept the stability we want. From now on, everyone will be completely safe.”

    Mao Lilan came over with warm water and gently distributed it to everyone present. Her angelic and pure smile dispelled the last bit of the cold smoke.She didn’t ask about the past disputes, didn’t care about Gin’s past, she was simply happy that everyone was safe and sound.

    Mary and Fangtani Rei walked aside and discussed the follow-up matters in a low voice.Gin’s identity is still sensitive. Although the organization has been destroyed, there are still a few remaining culprits. Once his past is exposed, it will inevitably cause a huge disturbance and put himself in danger.

    “His identity must not be made public.” Mary said solemnly, with a calm tone. “He must be given a brand new identity, completely sealing up everything in the past, and freeing him from all entanglements related to the organization.”

    Rei Fukutani nodded and said in a firm tone: “The Japanese public security can handle it with full authority, erase all records of Gin, and forge a brand new resume, so that he can live a stable life as an ordinary person.”

    “However, it requires his own cooperation.”

    The two of them said that and walked towards Gin together.

    Akai Shuichi immediately noticed that the atmosphere was solemn, and subconsciously protected Gin by his side, his eyes wary: “What do you want to do?”

    “Don’t worry, we won’t embarrass him.” Mary looked at Gin, her tone serious but without any hostility, “Your past cannot be erased, but it can be completely sealed. From now on, Gin will completely disappear from the world’s archives, and will never be tied down by the past again.”

    Gin raised his eyes, his dark green eyes calm and without any resistance: “I understand, and I am willing to cooperate.”

    He didn’t care about the so-called identity, name, or past. He no longer wanted to miss those dark pasts.As long as he can stay with Akai Shuichi, he doesn’t care in what capacity he lives or where he goes.

    Three simple words completely put Akai Shuichi’s heart at ease. He held Gin’s hand tightly and said softly: “No matter what you are called in the future, you will always be you. This will never change.”

    Gin looked sideways at him, with a rare but real arc at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: “Yes.”

    Seeing this, Fang Guling breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly: “I will take full responsibility for the subsequent identity procedures. You can go back to the safe house to rest in peace. Once the new identities are completed, you can go to a place where no one knows you, bid farewell to the past completely, and start over.”

    Mary also nodded and finally warned: “Don’t show up easily in the near future. The remaining remnants may make a final counterattack. We must protect each other.”

    Everyone left one after another. Before Sera Masumi left, she looked back at the two people standing side by side. The vigilance in her eyes had already turned into relief and recognition. She waved her hand gently, completely accepting this special “family”.

    The temporary medical point gradually emptied out, leaving only the two of them in the morning light.

    Akai Shuichi gently helped Gin up, helped him arrange his clothes gently, and said in a gentle tone, “Let’s go back.”

    “Okay.”

    The two walked side by side on the forest path. There was no sound of gunfire, no pursuit, and no calculation. There was only the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, accompanied by the warm sunshine, and the years were quiet.

    Gin suddenly stopped, looked at Akai Shuichi seriously, and said word by word: “From now on, we don’t have to point our swords at each other anymore.”

    “Yes.” Akai Shuichi nodded with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness, “No more.”

    “No more hiding, no more testing each other, no more worrying about losing each other.”

    Every soft word seems to be bidding farewell to the dark past, and also seems to be promising a stable future.

    Gin raised his hand and gently caressed Akai Shuichi’s cheek. His fingertips had a slightly cool temperature, but were full of nostalgia.

    “I gave up half my life’s darkness in exchange for you. That’s enough.”

    Akai Shuichi held his hand and pressed it on his heart, his eyes gentle but firm: “You didn’t give up anything, you finally found your own light, and I will always be with you.”

    The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the two of them, cuddling each other’s figures tightly together.
