Conan Breaks into a Cold Sweat; Shinichi Asai's First Mission

"Mr. Iizawa!?"

After seeing who had spoken,

Aso Natsumi froze.

He had never imagined

that he would still be able to see Bai Hao.

"Could it be that you died too?"

Aso Natsumi asked, looking somewhat dazed.

Bai Hao could not help letting out a quiet laugh.

Then he shook his head.

"Not only did I not die—you didn't die either."

"Wh... what do you mean?"

Aso Natsumi was completely dumbfounded.

Then he hurriedly looked around.

Only then did he realize that he really was currently on the island.

Although this area was rather remote,

as a murderer who had lived on the island for three years and often scouted locations, he still recognized it.

"I really didn't die!"

Aso Natsumi was both delighted and bewildered.

"Of course~"

Bai Hao nodded with a smile.

"Didn't I tell you before?

Once you washed away your sins, I would let you be reborn.

Now that you have gotten your revenge,

the flames have cleansed you of your sins.

You have already died once

and been reborn with a clean slate.

From today onward,

you are an innocent man.

All the hatred of the past

is wiped away."

Hearing Bai Hao's words,

Aso Natsumi grew excited.

In his eyes,

anyone capable of resurrecting the dead had to be a godlike being.

And if even a god told him that he had washed away his sins,

then he truly must have washed away his sins!

"You must be a god!"

Aso Natsumi knelt before Bai Hao.

He solemnly kowtowed once.

"Thank you~

Great God!"

"You could say that~"

Bai Hao nodded cheerfully.

"Aso Natsumi, are you willing to join my organization and save this world?"

"I am!"

Aso Natsumi agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Saving the world

had once been his dream as well.
