Stay away from Conan

Chapter 763 Farewell and Invitation

The blue sky is as clear as water, and the sea and sky are the same color——

In the early morning, at the dock of Muroran Port, Hokkaido, a girl with long brown hair looked at the endless sea in front of her, with a pleasant smile on her face.

But then, it seemed that she had received some message. The girl seemed to have been looking forward to the arrival of this message for a long time, so she took out her phone from her pocket in a dashing way——

Opening it and looking at the text message on it, a charming smile suddenly appeared on the girl's lips.

Then, the girl calmly opened a software on her phone, silently glanced at the content displayed on the screen, then smiled knowingly and murmured lightly:

"It seems that Blackbeard is not stupid enough to escape from the passenger ship on that unknown sea. But... humph..."

Putting away her phone, the girl continued to look at the sea in front of her. She seemed to feel that there was no point in staying here any longer, so she turned around and left the port first...

…

At this moment, turning his attention to the luxury liner "Ektelina II" that was still sailing on the sea, it seemed that what the girl said was not wrong——

Originally, since there was no doubt that Blackbeard attacked "Ava", Blackbeard was naturally traced by the crew on the ship.

However, because the crew did not find Blackbeard on the ship in the end, and because there was one less speedboat on the ship, almost everyone concluded that the escaped Blackbeard should have stolen the speedboat on the passenger ship. , and then relied on this speedboat to escape from the passenger ship.

But in fact, Blackbeard did not choose to escape from the ship. Instead, he shaved off his iconic beard, then slightly changed his clothes and hid——

In any case, this luxury liner "Ektelina II" is too big after all. As long as you understand the structure of this ship in advance, it is not difficult for people who really want to hide.

For this reason, although Blackbeard is very afraid of the punishment he will face from the organization after the failure of this experiment, Blackbeard still retains the necessary reason after all.

Escape from the passenger ship by speedboat seems to be a way to escape quickly, but in fact, because you are on the endless sea, it is actually difficult to determine where you are.

And whether a speedboat alone can reach land is a question.

Therefore, Blackbeard is very rational and knows that leaving the passenger ship when it is still a long time before docking is definitely not a wise choice. After all, drifting on the sea is by no means safer than being hunted down by an organization.

Therefore, Blackbeard chose to hide first and wait until the passenger ship sailed to a place where the land could be seen, and then consider escaping from the passenger ship. By then, because he knew where the land was, he would be able to find an opportunity to go ashore.

As for how to escape the organization's pursuit, we can only wait and see...

With this thought in mind, Blackbeard hid in a secret corner of the passenger ship and looked at the diving suit and oxygen bottle he had just found on the ship with a solemn expression -

If necessary, the worst case scenario is hiding underwater until dark...

…

However, compared to Blackbeard who was on tenterhooks on the ship at this time, Gao Yuan and others who were originally nervous felt a lot more relaxed because the threat of the virus was removed.

Even in this incident, the person involved who was supposed to be the victim of the experiment, the world-famous child star Ava Porter, expressed her gratitude to Gao Yuan with a gentle kiss in order to thank Gao Yuan for accompanying him in his most painful moment -

"Why?"

He just felt a soft coldness on his cheeks fleetingly. When Gao Yuan realized what had just happened, although he subconsciously felt shy, thinking of the other person's age, Gao Yuan was just stunned for a moment, and then he was still very calm. He stood up, looked at Ava with a smile and replied:

"No need to say thank you, I didn't actually do anything, you made it through on your own..."

"No! Brother Gao Yuan, if you weren't by my side, I think I most likely wouldn't be able to resist. It was you who gave me the courage to persevere. This is something I will never forget in my life!"

Regarding Gao Yuan's words, Ava clapped her chest with one hand and said firmly, affirming the significance of Gao Yuan being by her side.

Then, Ava looked at Xiao Ai who was turning her head aside and seemed slightly unhappy, and then happily came to Xiao Ai. She was very curious to see that Xiao Ai's makeup and appearance were very similar to hers, so He said to Xiao Ai enthusiastically:

"Wow! It really seems like there is another 'other me'..."

With that said, before Xiao Ai could respond, Ava opened her arms, smiled, stepped forward to hug Xiao Ai in her arms, and rested her head on Xiao Ai's shoulder——

"thank you too!"

"well--"

In this regard, Xiao Ai, who suddenly heard Ava's thanks and was forcibly hugged by the other party, couldn't help but be shocked by the other party's warm thanks.

However, seeing that this girl who was similar to him was still alive and kicking and had not been killed by the organization, Xiao Ai still felt very happy in her heart.

So, silently, seeing that Ava didn't seem to want to let go soon, Xiao Ai couldn't help but slowly stretched out his hands, and walked around behind Ava little by little. It felt very wonderful, and he responded in the same way. gave Ava a hug——

In this regard, seeing Xiao Ai and Ava hugging each other like two twin sisters, a gentle smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Gao Yuan's mouth. The warmth at this moment was so beautiful. I guess Xiao Ai feels the same way.

"By the way, what's your name?"

After hugging Xiao Ai for a while, Ava first took the initiative to let go and retreated in front of Xiao Ai, but she only kept half an arm's distance from Xiao Ai, and then her face was almost close to Xiao Ai's face. Ava looked very embarrassed. He asked excitedly about Xiao Ai's name.

In response to this, it was difficult to adapt to Ava's enthusiasm for a while. Xiao Ai took half a step back slightly and responded with a smile that looked a little embarrassed:

"Haibara Ai……"

"Why!"

However, when Ava heard Xiao Ai's name, Ava became even more happy. She took half a step towards Xiao Ai, excitedly held Xiao Ai's hands, and said happily:

"That's not only the appearance, but also the name! Can I call you 'Xiao Ai'?"

In this regard, it seemed that she really couldn't cope with this child. Xiao Ai could only continue to maintain an awkward smile and nodded helplessly——

"Why don't you call me 'Xiao Ai' too!"

Ava said this to Xiao Ai, and then she pulled Xiao Ai to Gao Yuan and asked Gao Yuan for his opinion:

"Brother Gao Yuan, how are you? I am Xiao Ai, and she is Xiao Ai... We are like sisters!"

It seemed that she had never encountered such a happy thing. After regaining her life, Ava felt an unprecedented interest in Xiao Ai, who looked exactly the same as her. She seemed to really regard Xiao Ai as a relative.

Compared to Ava, Xiao Ai felt more helpless. Although she didn't hate this child, she couldn't resist her enthusiasm. Xiao Ai just felt very tired of dealing with her.

So, before Gao Yuan could respond to Ava's inquiry, Xiao Ai spoke first:

"No...this is how I look after makeup. In fact, I'm not exactly the same as you!"

With that said, Xiao Ai looked at Gao Yuan with a slightly serious look, as if to hint that Gao Yuan should change his makeup quickly.

In this regard, Ava was not disgusted by Xiao Ai's words, but was more curious about Xiao Ai's original appearance.

Therefore, facing the current situation, Gao Yuan helped Xiao Ai remove all the makeup on her face and readjusted her hairstyle back to its original shape. Xiao Ai restored her original appearance——

"Wow! So awesome!"

After watching Gao Yuan help Xiao Ai remove her makeup, Xiao Ai revealed her original appearance, which was similar to hers, but with obviously different styles. Ava couldn't help but marvel at this, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she extended an invitation to Gao Yuan:

"Brother Gao Yuan, I have decided! You will be my agent from now on! As long as you become my agent, I will never need those bad people to approach me again!"

"Huh? What?"

After hearing this, Xiao Ai, who didn't know the inside story, had a keen reaction to the term "those bad guys".

In this regard, after realizing Xiao Ai's doubts, Gao Yuan explained to Xiao Ai what happened to Ava, and about the fact that after her parents died unexpectedly last year, organized people kept approaching her to serve as her agent.

After hearing this situation, Xiao Ai immediately understood what happened to Ava, and at the same time she also realized a very serious problem——

Even though this time, he and others prevented the organization's virus experiment and saved Ava from a certain perspective, but in fact, Ava herself had already been targeted by the organization.

Since the organization has been searching for talents in all aspects, Ava, who has become a world-famous child star at a young age, obviously meets the organization's criteria for selecting companions.

Well, since this experiment did not kill Ava, it cannot be ruled out that the organization will come into contact with Ava in the future——

Whether it is to absorb Ava into the organization, or to kill Ava to prevent leaks, it seems that this is what the organization may do.

So, Xiao Ai, who realized that the matter had not been completely resolved, looked at Gao Yuan seriously and couldn't help but ask:

"Gao Yuan, what should I do?"

The question was not elaborated, but Xiao Ai knew that Gao Yuan understood.

However, Gao Yuan had actually anticipated this problem——

"It doesn't matter. When the passenger ship docks at Muroran Port, someone will come to help Ava!"

Very confidently, Gao Yuan answered seriously.

"Why?"

Xiao Ai couldn't help being surprised by this, but soon, Xiao Ai couldn't help but lament that she was too worried. After all, Gao Yuan had known about Ava's situation for a long time. With his character, how could he not have made preparations earlier?

As a result, a relieved expression quickly appeared on Xiao Ai's face.

Gao Yuan explained:

"Actually, after Ava recovered yesterday, she and I had already discussed this issue——

"If she wants to continue to maintain this identity and continue her star career, she will definitely meet that group of people in the future. And if she wants to get rid of this predicament, I can change Ava's identity now and let the famous child star Ai The ending was when the baby disappeared on the luxury liner, allowing her to start a new life with a new identity. But..."

Gao Yuan said and couldn't help but look at Ava.

When Ava heard this, she seemed very serious and said:

"Although, after changing my identity, I am very satisfied to be able to live with brother Gao Yuan, but I don't want to give up my current name and face the world as a stranger. I want to continue acting and take my parents with me Keep living with unfulfilled expectations!”

In this regard, Xiao Ai stared blankly at Ava's determination. It seemed that this time, not only from appearance, but also from the similar situation, she felt more deeply that she and she were in the same boat.

Although she rationally understands that changing her identity and living a new life would be the safest choice for Ava, Xiao Ai understands Ava's determination.

Likewise, after Ava explained her thoughts to Xiao Ai, Gao Yuan said helplessly:

"So, that's it... Since Ava wants to continue her life, I naturally have no right to interfere. But in order to prevent her from being threatened by that group of people in the future, I have to ask someone who can help Ava at this time ”

…

It was getting late, and when the passenger ship was approaching its destination, but there was still a long journey ahead, and only land could be seen slightly emerging from the sea level, Blackbeard had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. , chose to take advantage of this opportunity to steal a speedboat. After preparing oil barrels, diving suits, oxygen bottles and other supplies on the speedboat, he drove the speedboat towards another direction that was completely different from the port. Traveling to one side of the land——

Although he could wait for the passenger ship to get closer to the land and escape, the closer he got to the land, the easier it would be for him to be discovered by the organization.

I'm afraid, the people from the organization are already waiting at the port.

However, as long as I'm fast enough, the organization won't be able to discover the fact that I want to escape in time.

Thinking like this, Blackbeard, who was nervous in his heart, tried his best to drive towards the land in the distance——

But, this is also the time.

When Blackbeard left the ship that was still moving and was near Muroran Port, the girl who silently stared at the screen of her mobile phone saw that the signal points displayed on it began to deviate from the positioning of the passenger ship, but she had already anticipated what would happen. Such development——

After all, no matter where Blackbeard fled, he would never have dreamed that the organization had already installed a tracker on him, right?

Then, that night, the body of an unidentified man floated on the sea...

…

That night, when the passenger ship docked, the students of Tedan Elementary School who were about to disembark at Muroran Port disembarked one after another under the organization of Teacher Kobayashi, and continued to take the passenger ship to the terminal of Ava Porter in the United States. , was currently standing on the deck of the passenger ship, saying goodbye to Gao Yuan who had not yet disembarked from the ship -

"Brother Gao Yuan, Xiao Ai! We will meet again!"

Ava asked, somewhat reluctantly.

"Will do."

"Um."

To this, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai responded seriously.

"Of course……"

At this time, a beautiful woman with fashionable clothes and long brown curly hair standing next to Ava couldn't help but said as if she was demonstrating her abilities:

"Ava, Xiao Gaoyuan, Xiao Ai... If you want to meet each other in the future, please ask me, sister! This kind of thing is a trivial matter to me!"

"Then... I'll leave it to Yukiko-san from now on."

In response, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded and responded -

That's right, the person Gao Yuan found to help Ava was none other than Kudo Yukiko!
