Chapter 238
"You're awake."
"The surgery was a success, and you are now a girl."
The head that peeked out gave a cheerful explanation, leaving Miyano Akemi completely dumbfounded.
"Ah?"
Miyano Akemi was taken aback, but then she realized what was happening.
"No, I am a woman!"
"Very good, it seems your head is not injured and your thinking ability is normal."
Li Yue nodded in satisfaction, then looked up and turned to leave. When she was helping her carry the car over, she accidentally hit Miyano Akemi's head on the ground, so Li Yue needed to make sure that there was no problem with Miyano Akemi's head. Now that she was sure there was no problem, that was enough.
After watching Li Yue turn and leave, Miyano Akemi got out of bed and sat down to observe the room. She realized that she was lying on a hospital bed in a standard single room. She must be in a hospital and must have been rescued by someone.
Miyano Akemi wanted to get out of bed, but the pain in her abdomen told her that she shouldn't do any strenuous exercise for the time being. So she reached out and pulled back the curtains next to her bed to see where she was.
After drawing back the curtains, sunlight streamed in, revealing a city that appeared to be a blend of prosperity and desolation. The reason for this blending was that the city seemed even more prosperous than Tokyo, where she lived. She saw many tall buildings, but there was also desolation. A large area of the city was filled with ruins, as if it had been bombed, a dark wasteland where all the buildings had collapsed.
Where is this?
The Japanese sign on the building next door told her that she was still in Japan, but which city in Japan had been bombed recently? She hadn't seen any news about it.
While Miyano Akemi was thinking, the door to the ward was pushed open again, and a nurse pushed a food cart in.
"Good morning, Ms. Miyano. Congratulations on waking up. You must be hungry. Come and have some breakfast."
"Oh, thank you."
Miyano Akemi nodded politely to the nurse, then realized what was happening and was filled with horror.
What did you just call me?
"Ms. Miyano, is there any other question?"
The nurse was a little curious.
"It's Ms. Miyano Akemi, isn't it?"
How did you know my name?
Miyano Akemi was terrified, because her current alias should be Masami Hirota, but this nurse knew her real name, and only the organization knew her real name!
"It was the gentleman who brought you here who said that."
In other words, that person knew his real name, or rather, the other person was a member of the organization!
After being shot by Gin, he was taken away by other members of the organization and sent to the hospital.
Why was he brought back? Could it be that Gin knew the key they took was fake, so he captured him to get the real key from him?
Miyano Akemi tensed up. Even so, she hadn't escaped from the organization. After Gin shot her, the organization didn't want her to die, but instead saved her.
Miyano Akemi gave a bitter smile.
"Um, Ms. Miyano, are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing the strange smile on Miyano Akemi's face, the nurse couldn't help but ask, "This is a VIP patient. If something goes wrong with her health, we medical staff will be held accountable."
"No, thank you, I'm not feeling unwell anywhere."
Miyano Akemi shook her head.
"If you feel unwell, please tell me."
"I will, Nurse."
Miyano Akemi nodded, then looked out the window.
"Nurse, could you tell me where this is? I mean, which city is this?"
Which city?
The nurse looked at Miyano Akemi with some doubt. Was this person from another surviving area?
"This is Tokyo."
"Tokyo?"
Miyano Akemi paused for a moment. She lived in Tokyo, so why didn't she know that a certain area of Tokyo had been bombed into ruins? She pointed to the ruins outside.
Is that also Tokyo?
"That's right, that's Tokyo too. Just a few days ago, it was a bustling area. Unfortunately, the LV5 Scorpius invaded Tokyo and advanced all the way to the city center, causing it to be destroyed. Fortunately, Raiden Shogun appeared in time and killed the Scorpius, otherwise the Scorpius would have destroyed the entire Tokyo. We are so grateful to Raiden Shogun."
"Huh? Raiden Shogun?"
A string of question marks popped into Miyano Akemi's head. What was Raiden Shogun? What was Scorpius? The twelve constellations? Why would the twelve constellations invade Tokyo? Could the twelve constellations now destroy cities?
Am I dreaming, or am I already dead, and this is actually the afterlife, which is why I'm seeing this?
"That's right, Raiden Shogun is now the leader of Tokyo and also our god. As our protector, Raiden Shogun used lightning to easily kill all the Gastrea. With the Gastrea around, Tokyo has become the safest place!"
Speaking of Raiden Shogun, the nurse was quite enthusiastic because she was there and witnessed him unleash Raiden Shogun, instantly turning all the Gastrea into ashes. The sight of Raiden Shogun unleashing thousands of bolts of lightning was simply too cool.
"That Tendo family is truly despicable. They actually want to kill off a bunch of us ordinary people in Tokyo so that they can easily rule the Tokyo. It's just too... Ah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said these things in front of you. I'm so sorry, please don't tell the head nurse, please!"
As the nurse spoke, she clasped her hands together and prayed to Miyano Akemi nodded blankly.
"Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"
After seeing Miyano Akemi nod, the nurse nodded happily and then placed the breakfast from the food cart onto the table next to her.
"Since you just had surgery, please eat some light, liquid food first. I won't disturb you any longer. If you need anything, please press the call button by the bed, and I will come right away."
After saying that, the nurse pushed the food cart out of the room, leaving Miyano Akemi sitting there alone, staring blankly at the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
The slight pain in her abdomen told her that this was not a dream, it was all real, and the gauze wrapped around her body told her that she was not dead.
"So, this isn't a dream? But why has Tokyo become like this? Could it be that I've been unconscious for a very, very long time?"
Miyano Akemi was puzzled.
433. Found you~ Sherry
Miyano Akemi was struggling in the hospital, while Li Yue, after asking the people in the hospital to take good care of her, left the world of Black Bullet again.
There's nothing for Li Yue to worry about in this world for the time being. The five gods obtained from Teyvat are practically invincible in this world. Even if the Goshoukai really control Level 5 Gastrea, they are no match for them; it would just add a few more corpses to this world.
Even now, there is no Raiden Shogun in Tokyo anymore, for a simple reason: Raiden Shogun led his men to retake Osaka.
Li Yue Chizuru Kayo previously heard in the group chat that Raiden Shogun was going to lead a group to retake Osaka, and now she was busy in Osaka.
The assassination attempt clearly failed. Kensho Takeru had many experts protecting him, but the failure did not affect Raiden Shogun's progress. Raiden Ei transformed into lightning and appeared in the sky above Osaka, instantly covering Osaka with thunderclouds. He then directly announced his rule over Osaka.
Osaka is a dictatorial region, so the people have always been oppressed. When Raiden Ei announced his rule over Osaka, they felt nothing. They were only wondering how this new ruler would oppress them again. Those who dared to resist were the original rulers and their supporters.
Therefore, a single sentence can be used to identify who needs to be removed.
Once enough people had gathered to resist the Raiden Ei, the Raiden Ei unleashed a bolt of lightning, turning them all to ashes. Kensho Takeru was among these ashes. He was a confident man, certain that the Raiden Ei couldn't harm him. He did know about the change of masters in Tokyo, but he wasn't particularly clear on the details, since he wasn't there in person. Although spies from Osaka had relayed the news back to Osaka, any normal person seeing news of the Thunder God descending, killing Scorpius, and then ruling Tokyo would think that the person had lost their mind.
After all, in the real world, if you talked to me about Raiden Shogun, I would think you're out of your mind.
Therefore, although Kensho Takeru of Qi knew some of the situation in Tokyo, he did not know everything. In his eyes, the Tiantong family brought this upon themselves and was overthrown by their subordinates. In order to beautify their own achievements, the group that overthrew the Tiantong family created a Thunder God as the ruler. This was to deify the ruler so that he would have enough prestige.
The Japanese are very familiar with this kind of thing, after all, the Japanese gods are the so-called representatives of gods on earth.
Then, Kensho Takeru died amidst the numerous bolts of lightning that fell from Raiden Ei. Raiden Ei didn't even know who Kensho Takeru was; she simply followed Li Yue's orders and killed all those who resisted her. And so, Kensho Takeru died without any dignity whatsoever.
Osaka has now been taken back by Raiden Ei. However, since Osaka is quite large, it will take time to eliminate some of the hidden forces. Moreover, after clearing out the remnants of Kensho Takeru's faction, it will also take time to completely control the situation in Osaka.
However, Li Yue was unaware of all this. After confirming that Miyano Akemi was not dead, he immediately returned to the Conan World. He had been in the Pitch-black World for a whole night, and now it was the second day, so he needed to come and Miyano Shiho.
Back in the Conan World, Li Yue used illusion magic to turn his clothes black, just like when he went to see Mori Kogoro. He transformed into the Black Organization. When he returned to Tokyo, the Tokyo seemed to become sorrowful, and it began to rain.
"So, is it time for Haibara Ai to appear now?"
Li Yue looked at the rainy sky, then went straight to a nearby convenience store and bought a black umbrella, trying to make sure everything she wore was black.
Then they started walking towards Professor Agasa's house.
After Miyano Shiho becomes a child, she goes to Professor Agasa's house. She is surprised by her situation and recalls the situation of Kudo Shinichi. She realizes that Kudo Shinichi not die, but has become a child. She wants to go to Kudo Shinichi to check on them, but ends up being adopted by Professor Agasa next door.
So all Li Yue had to do was go and wait outside Professor Agasa's house.
Holding a black umbrella and conjuring up an illusion for herself, Li Yue stood quietly at the door of Professor Agasa's house, waiting for Miyano Shiho to arrive. Miyano Shiho didn't keep Li Yue waiting long; she soon appeared on the street, wearing ill-fitting clothes, skipping and running towards Li Yue's direction.
It was raining, soaking her clothes completely. She ran around in those wet and ill-fitting clothes. From a child's perspective, that was fast, but for an adult, it was a bit slow.
Li Yue wasn't in a hurry. Watching her run closer, and after she could clearly see Kudo Shinichi's house, Miyano Shiho finally stopped running and started walking, panting and leaning against the wall. Unfortunately, she had taken medicine, was soaked from head to toe by the rain, and had been running all the way. Now, Miyano Shiho had a fever and was even a little delirious. She looked at Kudo Shinichi's house in the distance and gasped for breath.
"We're almost there, almost there... as long as we get there..."
As they watched Kudo Shinichi's house approach, the sky suddenly darkened.
She looked up and saw a large black umbrella sheltering her from the rain.
That's not the point. The point is that under the large black umbrella, a man is staring at him with excitement. He's wearing a black trench coat, black trousers, black leather shoes, and even black gloves, and he's holding a black umbrella.
This outfit, and the way it gave her goosebumps just looking at it! Miyano Shiho immediately thought of Gin, and the organization! Because she was like an organizational radar; she could sense anyone from the organization nearby instantly!
A look of terror appeared on her face.
This person came for me! He knows me! I never expected to be caught so soon after I came out, and even the organization knew I would end up like this, and they even guessed that I would come here!
Li Yue could tell what Miyano Shiho was thinking just by looking at her expression. As if to confirm Miyano Shiho's guess, Li Yue grinned.
"Found you, Sherry ~"
Miyano Shiho's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died, and she fainted.
434. Why do you have the same name as my dog?
Miyano Shiho opened her eyes and saw a long, narrow fluorescent light.
"An unfamiliar ceiling."
You two sisters actually reacted the same way.
Li Yue, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but internally complain as she listened to Miyano Shiho's voice.
"Was I brought back?"
Miyano Shiho stared at the ceiling and began to mutter to herself.
"Little girl, what are you saying?"
Are you the one responsible for guarding me?
Hearing the voice beside her, Miyano Shiho, still staring at the ceiling, asked in an extremely cold tone.
"The people watching over you? They do need to keep an eye on you, after all, you're just a kid, running around outside in the heavy rain and you've even caught a fever."
Li Yue looked utterly rebuked.
"Where are your parents? Don't they even check on you? You have a fever and they still let you run around outside. These parents are so irresponsible."
Huh? What did I just hear?
Miyano Shiho frowned in confusion. She was a child? Had a fever? An adult? What was going on? Shouldn't it be the Black Organization guarding her?
She turned her head in confusion to look at the bedside and saw Li Yue sitting in a chair. Then her eyes widened.
A black hat, a black trench coat, black trousers, black leather shoes, and black gloves—isn't this a member of the Black Organization?
Miyano Shiho stared blankly at Li Yue, unsure of what to say for a moment.
If I'm not mistaken, this guy is the one who kidnapped me at the door of Kudo Shinichi before, but why did he just say...?
Miyano Shiho was very puzzled.
Li Yue looked at Miyano Shiho's furrowed brows, raised the corners of her mouth, leaned forward with a gentle smile.
"Little friend, what's your name? Why are you running around outside in the rain? Do you know where you live? Do you know your home phone number? Or do you remember your parents' phone number?"
Ah?
Miyano Shiho was stunned by Li Yue's question.
