Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 49 Freshmen
"Hatred can blind people's hearts. Some things can't be known without experience..."

When Aso was really confused by the other party's answer, the "big tengu" continued to speak words that made him puzzled, but when he heard the other party's next sentence, he finally couldn't calm down...

"Now, you have already experienced death once." "Da Tengu" pointed his gaze directly at Aso Mitsu's eyes, and said the undeniable truth, "Asai Chengmi already died on that small island, and now You, as Ma Sheng, will gain a new life..."

When he heard his real name, he recovered his five senses, and felt his heartbeat and panting suddenly increased, which made Aso finally realize the fact that he was still alive.

"I'm still alive?! Who are you?! Why did you save me?!" There was no fear in his eyes, but shock and sadness.

Seeing that the other party finally came to his senses, Ishino, who was wearing a big tengu mask, did not answer his question, but just took out a stack of music scores from his arms and threw it to the other party: "Look at this."

"This... this is?!" Ma Chengshi stretched out his hand to catch the music score, ignoring the mysterious man in front of him, and began to carefully identify the codes on the music score by the moonlight.

When the first page of the music score was read, "Give my son a real life", Asagi's dry eyes that had been baked before his real life were soaked with tears at this moment.

"Chengshi, you have to live strong... This is your father's last entrustment to you." Seeing Ma Shengshi clutching the music score, speechless, Ishino said lightly.

"If I knew that my father left this... I wouldn't have to do this kind of thing..." Asahi said with a choked voice.

"Really...do you regret it then?"

"Regret...?" Aso asked himself sincerely, but his hazy eyes gradually became firmer, "No, I don't regret... If I had to choose again, I would still choose to kill those people with my own hands!"

"But it's too late..." At this point, his expression sank again, "My hands, just like the four people who have died, are covered with blood..."

"Is it really the same?!"

Aso was startled by Ishino's sudden angry question, raised his head suddenly, and looked at him.

Ishino stared straight into the other person's eyes, and asked the other person word by word in a magnetic and deep voice: "Do you... really feel... that you are... the same as those people?"

Asahi stared at the other party's deep eyes full of cold light, and faced the soul torture that hit the depths of his heart, he felt captured by a powerful force, and it was difficult to say a word against his will.

In an instant, he felt an uncontrollable anger rushing straight into his heart from the depths of his soul, full of anger, resentment and unwillingness, and let out a roar that shook the sky.

"How could it be the same!! Those guys don't deserve to be called humans at all!! They're scum! Beasts! Demons!!"

"What they have done has killed an unknown number of people and families!! I killed them, and that was acting on behalf of the heavens! How could it be the same!!"

"Just dying like this is not enough to pay for their sins! They should be thrown into endless hell! They will never be reborn!!..."

Shi Ye looked at the young man who looked like a girl and had a gentle and neutral voice, but at the moment he had a ferocious face, bursting into a heart-piercing howl, and he didn't feel a sense of disobedience, but felt that this was the most real human being ...

Erupting out all the resentment and true thoughts in his heart, Ma Cheng felt relieved and relaxed at this moment.

Since he learned the truth and was driven by hatred, for the first time in the past two years, he had the feeling that he was truly alive. Just as the mysterious person in front of him said, he was born again.

"Crack, crack, crack!" Ishino applauded and congratulated the new human being in front of him, "Congratulations! You have successfully faced your own soul and completed a brand new transformation!"

"Thank you." Asao, who has calmed down at this moment, has a completely different temperament from Asai during the day. Perseverance, coldness, and sternness have become his new labels.

"So, what is the purpose of saving me so much?" He raised the question again.

"Because I like you and I hope you can be used by me and become my help."

The foreshadowing was already in place, and Ishino stated his purpose very frankly, without any cover-up.

"You like a murderer like me?"

"When a person is killed, there is always a reason to be killed." Shi Ye looked at the other party indifferently, and said nonchalantly, "They deserve to die, so I don't think there is any problem if you kill them."

Ma Chengshi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then burst out laughing: "Hahaha... What a scary guy, in your eyes, it seems that there is no such thing as law."

"Hahaha! Law? Does it mean that the maximum sentence for drug trafficking is ten years, and the death penalty is equal to public pension? Hahaha..."

"Pfft! Hahaha, that's right! That's really something that makes people feel funny!" Ma Cheng actually laughed out loud when he heard the other party's answer, but there was a hint of sternness in the corner of his eyes, "It's better to say , The existence of that kind of thing is itself a joke!"

The two looked at each other, and laughed wildly again, as if they were close friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, sharing the jokes between each other.

Although Ishino has always held a disdainful attitude towards Japanese laws, it does not mean that he will want to change these ideas. That is a problem that the Japanese themselves should solve.

If there is a chance, he doesn't mind reminding Conan or other members of the red team to let them think about this matter for themselves, of course, it's just a matter of convenience.

And the reason why he showed this attitude in front of Aso Shi was naturally to make the other party have a sense of identity that he was a "fellow man".

Ma Cheng could have directly reported the drug trafficking of those people, let the police intervene in the investigation, and sanctioned them through legal means.

But in the end, he chose to end the lives of those people with his own hands. At the same time, he trusted Kogoro Mori as a private detective more than the police, and believed that he would not cover up drug dealers like some police officers did.

All this shows that he has long since lost confidence in Japan's judiciary, and even has hatred in his heart. He firmly believes that only by doing it himself can those people get the punishment they deserve...

After a long time, the two stopped laughing unscrupulously.

"Although I am very grateful that you saved me, helped me find my father's suicide note, and at the same time gave me a reason to live." Asahi regained his gentle face and said seriously, "But I still cannot Kindness, directly make a promise to obey your orders..."

"I believe you also agree that a promise made just out of temporary gratitude cannot last for a long time." Ma Cheng did not evade the other party's cold eyes at all, and said sincerely, "And I also have a promise that cannot be violated in my heart." the rules."

"So, please offer me an offer that I cannot refuse..."
