A huge sense of fear came over me, and at the same time, my ears were filled with various questions from Conan's magical voice.
Subaru Okiya was not in the mood to answer him at all, but he was worried that too long a pause would reveal clues, so he had no choice but to devote some of his energy to listening to what Conan was saying, and then continued to deal with it using his shameless methods in the adult world.
All the topics brought up by naughty kids.
Okiya Subaru did smoothly block those questioning and gave himself some time to think.
But before he could figure out the terrifying question of "who is the person knocking on the door?", the child next to him thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Brother Okiya, have you heard of the 'stage'?"
"
Boom——
As if a thunderbolt struck from the Tianling Gai, Subaru Okiya froze on the spot, feeling that everything was shattered.
For a moment, he could not hide his expression, and the look he looked at Conan could be described as "horror".
Conan was also stunned for a moment. He had known Subaru Okiya for so long, and this was the first time he had seen this graduate student who was good at concealing his expression lose his temper like this.
He was at a loss for a moment, and suddenly understood something: "You have heard of 'stage', right? What does it mean? Who is the person hiding behind it?!"
Subaru Okiya didn't answer his question, he froze in his seat like a statue.
After a while, he moved his eyes slightly and said in an extremely dry voice: "...where did you hear this word?"
Conan saw his huge reaction and guessed that it was important.
Recalling that the woman in black who presented the passport had never said that her existence could not be disclosed, Conan said truthfully: "I... uh, it's inconvenient for me to apply for a passport for some reasons, but I really want to go abroad. So I made the reservation.
The day before the visit to England, a woman in black suddenly appeared at my house and gave me a passport. She said..."
"The woman in black?!" Subaru Okiya sat up straight as if he had been stabbed by something, "What exactly is she?"
"Hmm... very beautiful?" Conan first expressed the overall first impression, and then described it with gesticulations, "There was a hair ornament on her forehead, and she was wearing a fluffy off-shoulder dress. She must have climbed out of the window at that time.
She came up, but her clothes are not messy at all, so she must be very skilled. Of course, it may be that I was too careless, which caused her to be lurking in the house long ago - by the way, she is the Gothic Lolita clothing store
Boss, since you were the one hiding behind the store at that time, you should have seen her or even known her."
Conan tried hard to describe that person so that he could match up with Subaru Okiya and get more information.
However, at this time, Subaru Okiya had no intention of listening to what he was saying.
When Conan struggled to loudly describe the situation to him amidst the huge and messy background music, a figure appeared at the side door of the venue.
——There is no need for Conan to describe it in detail, the "woman in black" he mentioned has quietly appeared in Okiya Subaru's field of vision.
At the end of Okiya Subaru's line of sight, the colorful searchlights of the venue flashed past and stopped at the side entrance. In the briefly lit circle, the two people's eyes met. Miss Spider suddenly raised her hand and pressed it on her chest, giving him a slight smile.
Bow down.
When she straightened up again, the searchlight had been turned on and her face and expression could not be seen clearly. But her identity was already obvious.
In the dim light, the woman in black stepped aside to open the door, making an inviting gesture. Then she put down her hand and stood quietly by the door, waiting for Subaru Okiya to approach, like a messenger coming to greet him.
...Unfortunately, what Subaru Okiya was going to was not the paradise without a terrible boss in his imagination, but straight to hell.
Almost at the same time, Subaru Okiya heard the childish voice of a child.
"By the way, she also said at that time..." Conan's voice fell on his eardrum, like a heavy stone hammer, making Subaru's mind buzzing, "——The actor who escaped from the stage,
It has no existence value.”
"..."
There was dead silence.
Of course, the only thing that became silent was Subaru Okiya's heart running towards freedom. At this time, the venue was still hot.
Amidst the intense laughter of the audience, the expression on Subaru Okiya's face changed several times, and finally it slowly condensed into a smile that was uglier than crying.
——Applying for a passport that can be used to leave the country, even if it is fake, cannot be done instantly.
To be able to take out this passport on the eve of Conan's departure, Uzo must have been prepared for this.
That is to say, when he was secretly discussing the escape plan with Akai Shuichi in Yoneka Town, when he was trying to survive the few days before leaving, when he was counting the good times of escaping to the United States on his fingers...
... Uzo was watching him quietly from somewhere, and then happily and silently participated in their carefully crafted escape plan, adjusting his fingers at will like adjusting a toy.
journey.
It turned out that the layout had already begun so early. Not only did he know nothing about it, he also believed countless times that he could successfully escape from Uzo.
"... Mr. Akai, or Mr. Akai who was controlled by Uzo, did not make a wrong choice." Subaru Okiya felt that he was gradually losing his ability to think, and the color of the whole world was fading, as if he was turning into a being toyed with.
The fool puppet between Yu Gu's palms, "The circus is still very suitable for me. I can go on stage and play the clown now... No, maybe I have been acting for a long time, but I just never realized it."
"Mr. Okiya? Are you okay?" Conan didn't hear those low murmurs and only saw Subaru's reaction.
He didn't expect that a random keyword could cause such a drastic change. Conan reached out and poked Okiya Subaru, hoping that he would stop being in a daze by himself and tell him the situation so that he could think about it too.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the young graduate student next to him suddenly stood up and walked away along the aisle. His stiff steps immediately reminded people of a word - the walking dead.
"Where are you going?"
Conan was confused, but one thing was certain - the so-called "stage" was indeed set up for Subaru Okiya, and the "actor" above should also refer to him.
Seeing that the source of the clue was about to run away, Conan stood up and wanted to chase after him.
However, at this time, the performance happened to reach an extremely dangerous place. Mao Lilan did not dare to watch the terrifying performance on the stage, and her big watery eyes were wandering around. Suddenly she found that the child next to her was about to run, and she immediately reached out and caught him
Come back.
"Let me go! I don't want to run around!" Conan struggled hard, but it was of no use. He had to find an excuse, "I just want to go to the toilet!"
