A huge sense of fear came over me, and at the same time, my ears were filled with questions from Conan's magical voices.
Subaru was not in the mood to answer him at all, but he was worried that too long a pause would reveal clues, so he had no choice but to devote some of his energy to listening to what Conan was saying, and then continued to deal with it using his shameless methods in the adult world. All the topics brought up by naughty kids.
Subaru did indeed block those questioning smoothly, giving himself some time to think.
But before he could figure out the terrible question of "who is the person knocking on the door?", the child next to him thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Brother Chongchu, have you heard of the 'stage'?" "
Boom——
It was like a thunderbolt crashed from the Heavenly Spirit Cap, and Subaru froze in place, feeling that everything was shattered.
For a moment, he could not hide his expression, and the look he looked at Conan could be described as "horrified".
Conan was also stunned for a moment. He had known Subaru for so long, and this was the first time he had seen this graduate student who was good at concealing his expression lose his composure.
He was at a loss for a moment, and suddenly understood something: "You have heard of 'stage', right! What does it mean? Who is the person hiding behind it?!"
However, Subaru didn't answer his question and froze in his seat like a statue.
After a while, he moved his eyes slightly and said in an extremely dry voice: "...where did you hear this word?"
Seeing his huge reaction, Conan guessed that something important was at stake.
Recalling that the woman in black who presented the passport had never said that her existence could not be disclosed, Conan said truthfully: "I... uh, it's inconvenient for me to apply for a passport for some reasons, but I really want to go abroad. And just before I made the reservation The day before the visit to England, a woman in black suddenly appeared at my house and gave me a passport. She said..."
"The woman in black?!" Subaru said, as if he had been stabbed by something, he sat up straight, "What exactly is it?"
"Hmm... very beautiful?" Conan first expressed the overall first impression, and then described it with gestures, "There was a hair ornament on her forehead, and she was wearing a fluffy off-shoulder dress. She should have climbed out of the window at that time. She came up, but the clothes on her body were not messy at all, so she must be very skilled. Of course, it may be that I was too careless, causing her to be lurking in the house long ago - by the way, she is the Gothic Lolita clothing store Boss, since you were the one hiding behind the store at that time, you should have seen her or even known her."
Conan tried hard to describe that person so that he could match up with Subaru's intelligence and get more information.
However, at this time, Subaru had no intention of listening to what he was saying.
When Conan was struggling to tell him the situation loudly amidst the huge and messy background music, a figure appeared at the side door of the venue.
——There is no need for Conan to describe it in detail. The "woman in black" he mentioned has quietly appeared in Subaru's field of vision.
At the end of Subaru's sight, the colorful searchlights of the venue flashed past and stopped at the side entrance. In the briefly brightened circle of light, the two looked at each other. Miss Spider suddenly raised her hand and pressed it on her chest, bowing slightly toward him.
When she straightened up again, the searchlight had been turned on and her face and expression could not be seen clearly. But her identity has been revealed.
In the dim light, the woman in black turned sideways and opened the door, making an inviting gesture. Then she put down her hand and stood quietly by the door, waiting for Subaru to approach, like a messenger coming to fetch him.
...Unfortunately, what Subaru was going to was not the paradise without a terrible boss in his imagination, but straight to hell.
Almost at the same time, a child's childish voice sounded in Subaru's ears.
"By the way, she also said at that time..." Conan's voice fell on his eardrum, like a heavy stone hammer, which made Subaru's head buzz, "——The actor who escaped from the stage, It has no existence value.”
"..."
There was dead silence.
Of course, the silence will only destroy Subaru's heart towards freedom. At this time, the venue was still hot.
Amid the intense laughter of the audience, the expression on Subaru's face changed several times, and finally it slowly condensed into a smile that was uglier than crying.
——Applying for a passport that can be used to leave the country, even if it is fake, cannot be done instantly.
To be able to take out this passport on the eve of Conan's departure, Wu Zuo must have been prepared for this.
That is to say, when he was secretly discussing the escape plan with Akai Shuichi in Yoneka Town, when he was trying to survive the few days before leaving, when he was counting the good times of escaping to the United States on his fingers... ...Wu Zuo was watching him quietly from somewhere, and then happily and silently participated in their carefully crafted escape plan, adjusting his fingers at will like adjusting a toy. journey.
It turns out that the layout has already started so early. And not only did he know nothing about it, he also believed countless times that he could successfully escape from Wu Zuo.
"...Mr. Akai, or Mr. Akai who was controlled by Wu Zuo did not make a wrong choice." Subaru Oki felt that he was gradually losing his ability to think, and the color of the whole world was fading. He seemed to be turning into a being toyed with. The fool puppet between Yu Gu's palms, "The circus is still very suitable for me. I can go on stage and play the clown now... No, maybe I have been acting for a long time, but I just never realized it."
"Mr. Chong Shi? Are you okay?" Conan didn't hear those low words, but only saw Chong Shi Subaru's reaction.
He didn't expect that a random keyword could cause such a drastic change. Conan stretched out his hand and poked Chong Shi Subaru, hoping that he would stop being in a daze by himself and tell him the situation so that he could think about it as well.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the young graduate student next to him suddenly stood up and walked away along the aisle. His stiff steps immediately reminded people of a word - the walking dead.
"Where are you going?"
Conan was confused, but one thing was certain - the so-called "stage" was indeed set up for Subaru, and the "actor" above should also refer to him.
Seeing that the source of the clue was about to run away, Conan stood up and wanted to chase after him.
However, at this time, the performance happened to be in an extremely thrilling place. Mao Lilan did not dare to watch the terrifying performance on the stage, and a pair of big watery eyes were wandering around. Suddenly she noticed that the child next to her was about to run away, so she immediately reached out and grabbed him back.
"Let me go! I don't want to run around!" Conan struggled hard, but it was all in vain. He had to make an excuse, "I just want to go to the bathroom!"
