Chapter 584 Life and Death

The long-term life of walking in the hail of bullets made Toru Amuro immediately aware of the existence of danger. His body reacted faster than his brain and quickly hid aside.

At the same time, a flash of white jumped out of the air!

That is--

"ah--"

The sharp claws scratched Jack the Ripper's neck, and it suddenly seemed like a few lines were roughly drawn on white paper with a red pen.

Jack the Ripper was in pain and subconsciously let go of the dagger he was holding. At this time, the dagger was less than ten centimeters away from Toru Mao's chest.

But his reaction was equally fast. Almost as soon as he let go, he tightened his grip again, and at the same time, his free hand suddenly grabbed a furry object.

He took a closer look and saw a palm-sized kitten struggling hard while his tail was being held by him.

"Japp!" Toru Amuro subconsciously shouted the kitten's name.

Jack the Ripper raised his eyebrows slightly, a perverted smile flashed in his eyes: "Jap, what a good name."

After saying that, Jack threw the dagger up, held it back, and used the inertia of the free fall to slash the kitten's neck hard!

When Toru Amuro, who was closest, saw this scene, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at Jack with a pair of murderous eyes.

He barely hesitated to save the kitten even at the risk of getting hurt.

Unfortunately, the kitten's tail was held in Jack's hand, and the sharp edge of the dagger was just above its neck. With human reaction and speed, it was impossible to save the kitten before it was stabbed by the sharp blade.

The next moment, along with the sound of "chi", a pool of bright red oozed out from the kitten's white fur, which was quickly absorbed by the hair.

"Japp——"

This was Maorilan's exclamation, and Toru Amuro had already rushed in front of Jack the Ripper——

"It's not nice to treat other people's pets so rudely, Mr. Jack the Ripper."

His voice was relatively calm, but his falcon-like eyes were filled with overwhelming anger.

Then with a "bang" sound, Jack was kicked out hard by him, hit the wall of the church, and fell heavily.

Toru Amuro didn't seem to be relieved, he grabbed Jack's collar, and his fist was about to fall!

"Mr. Amuro!" Conan stopped him urgently, "Japp seems to be dying!"

Hearing this, Amuro Toru paused.

He kicked the dagger away and tied up Jack the Ripper with his coat. Then he glared at him fiercely, turned around and came to the kitten.

Conan was relieved to see this.

He was really afraid that Toru Amuro would lose his mind and kill Jack.

Although this is a game, killing is wrong!

Toru Amuro knelt down and held the blood-soaked kitten in his hands, treating it like a treasure.

Maori Ran next to him even noticed that Toru Amuro's eyes were all red. This was so different from Mr. Amuro in the past. It was obvious that Japp was just a Scottish fold cat that existed in the game and had only known them for tens of minutes. That’s all.

The kitten was already a little delirious. It lay quietly in Toru Amuro's hand, its eyes closed, and it no longer had the vitality it had before.

Mao Lilan sighed silently and decided to say something to comfort Toru Amuro: "After we clear the level, the game should be reset. By then, Japp will be alive again."

In fact, everyone present knew this fact, including Toru Amuro, but he just couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart.

Toru Amuro likes cats, and has done so since he was a child, but none of the cats he has met before have affected his emotions like Japp.

The little Japp fell asleep quietly, and Toru Amuro stared at it, laughing at his own weakness in his heart.

It's just a cat. If even a cat can make him so abnormal, how can he continue his mission?

However, at this moment, a distant murmur sounded in Amuro Toru's ears:

"zero……"

Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and looked around, but there was nothing. People around him looked at him with strange eyes.

Conan asked tentatively: "Brother Amuro? What's wrong with you?"

wrong!

That was definitely not an auditory hallucination just now! !

If it wasn't them, could it be...

Toru Amuro focused his attention on the kitten again. At that moment, his eyes were extremely tender and nostalgic.

At this moment, waves of light appeared on Conan and others' bodies. Then they knew that the game was over and they were about to return to the real world.

Mao Lilan looked at the kitten reluctantly: "Goodbye, if there is a chance in the future, we might be able to enter the game to find you."

But the kitten probably couldn't hear her voice anymore.

"Wait, why does Japp have a halo on his body?" Conan said in shock.

However, before he could figure it out, he had already lost consciousness.

The moment he closed his eyes, Toru Amuro sighed silently in his heart.

He really wanted to leave with that kitten if he could. But Toru Amuro himself didn't know whether he liked that cat or whether he was reminded of someone in the past through that cat.

His life always seems to be full of regrets. Not only is he unable to save important people, he is also unable to protect even kittens.

But Toru Amuro felt that he deserved it.

He was originally a person who went deep into darkness. Countless experiences in the past told him that staying away from the people around him was the only way to protect them.

…

When he opened his eyes again, Nobuhiro found that he had regained his body.

He was in an empty space, with a little boy about ten years old standing in front of him.

Nobushige smiled at him: "Hiroki-kun."

Sawada Hiroki's eyes were full of sadness, not like a ten-year-old child, but like an old man who had experienced the world. He has an IQ beyond his age, so he also bears the pressure of responsibilities beyond his age.

However, just when Nobushige's "Hiroki-kun" sounded, Sawada Hiroki's face suddenly showed a pure smile that belonged to a child.

But soon, this smile turned into helplessness: "Brother Jingguang, are you stupid? It's just in the game, the player will not die, why are you still thinking about saving people when you have turned into a cat??"

Nobushige was stunned.

Sawada Hiroki was also startled: "Um...can I call you that?"

The name was so old that Xinfan didn't react, but he quickly nodded in agreement: "Of course."

Hiroki Sawada put his hands in front of him at a loss, and he lowered his head slightly: "I'm sorry about what happened before, I didn't mean to investigate you. It's just... I can't compete with that organization on my own. I need help."

"You want to fight against the organization? Why?"

Nobushige had never thought that Hiroki Sawada would be connected to the organization. He realized that the code that escaped Hiroki Sawada's control might not be as simple as he thought.
