Chapter 160 That day, Xiaolan finally understood Qingzi's suffering
"Little girl, this great fortune will only bless me if it stays with you. If I take it away directly, it will be like a rootless duckweed and will soon dissipate, so it is necessary for me to make you my priestess.

Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. Although I can decide your life and death, I can't force you to sign a contract, so if you don't want to, just say no."

After listening to Li De's words, Mao Lilan immediately said: "I"

After saying just one word, Mao Lilan couldn't continue.

There was no Li De trying to stop her. Li De just looked at her indifferently.

"Lord Ryujin, what will happen to Shinichi if I refuse?" At this moment, Mao Lilan did not ask Li De to let Kudo Shinichi go. After all, she knew that this was impossible.

Because she knew very well that the dragon in front of her was very realistic and talked about interests all the time.

"If you are unwilling to pay the price, I will have to find that guy to collect the price. After all, he is the real beneficiary, so it is not against the rules to collect the price from him. It just so happens that he has the power of the god of death, so at least I won't lose out." At this moment, Li De's mouth corners pulled back slightly, revealing a smile that he tried hard to hide but couldn't.

However, in the eyes of Mao Lilan, this smile was a smile of success.

Because at this moment, Mao Lilan had a feeling in her heart that everything today was designed by the Dragon God.

And his purpose is actually Shinichi, or the special power in Shinichi.

That's right, Mao Lilan firmly believed that Kudo Shinichi possessed the power of the god of death. After all, her childhood sweetheart would die wherever he went.

Occasionally, you may come across someone who is not dead. Usually, they are the kind of person who has done good deeds and accumulated merits.

But even if such people didn't die, they wouldn't be much better off.

It has become a routine to stay in the hospital for a while.

As for her own good luck, although Mao Lilan also believed in it, after all, no one can win the jackpot in the lottery.

But Mao Lilan didn't think that her luck could have much effect on a god.

Thinking about this harsh price and the scene where Shinichi was petrified as soon as he opened his mouth, Mao Lilan always felt that the Dragon God in front of her did not want Shinichi to remind her, so as to make her make a wrong judgment.

And if my guess is correct, then wouldn't that mean I have harmed Shinichi?

After all, if he hadn't made the wish, Shinichi wouldn't have faced such a thing.

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan suddenly felt heartbroken.

But Mao Lilan didn't have the courage to go back on her word. Just as Li De said, he couldn't force himself to sign the contract, but he could control his own life and death, and Shinichi's life and death.

"I sign!" Mao Lilan raised her head and stared at Li De and said.

When Li De heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, which was discovered by Mao Lilan.

As soon as the "little girl" Li Decai opened her mouth, Mao Lilan directly followed the instructions of the contract and imprinted her soul on it.

After seeing this scene, Li Decai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he didn't want to make it so complicated. After all, the true love test he used to fool Nakamori Aoko was actually quite useful.

But the problem is that it would not be appropriate to use the same tactics on Mao Lilan.

Another point is that the mission is not just to get Mao Lilan to sign the contract, but also to meet the prerequisite of breaking up her and Kudo Shinichi.

Therefore, using the test of true love is invincible will actually leave disadvantages. You must know that Kudo Shinichi is different from Kuroba Kaito and has no legal weaknesses in his identity.

In addition, Li De did not plan to talk to Kudo Shinichi privately later, but planned to let Mao Lilan tell Kudo Shinichi the words of separation in person here.

So Li De abandoned the tactics used before and replaced them with another one.

Of course, the core has not changed, it still relies on true love, because if Mao Li Ran didn't love Kudo Shinichi so much, Li De would not have been able to see the scene of Mao Li Ran signing resources.

The difference between this and the previous one involving Nakamori Aoko is that Li De no longer mentioned true love and trials.

"Master, can you let Shinichi go now?" Mao Lilan asked Li De with a determined look.

"Of course, as I said before, whatever the gods promise will be fulfilled." After Li Decai finished speaking, Kudo Shinichi, who had been petrified, turned back into flesh and blood.

"Oh, by the way, Xiaolan, don't sign." Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment after he was petrified again, and then he remembered that he had to stop his childhood sweetheart.

But when he looked at Mao Lilan, he found that she gave him a bitter smile.

"Xiaolan, you won't sign that unreasonable contract, will you?" Kudo Shinichi's voice was trembling at this moment.

"Shinichi, I'm sorry, I can't help it." Ran Mouri replied with tears in her eyes.

"Damn it, why!" Kudo Shinichi roared.

"Boy, my target has been you from the very beginning, but Xiaolan saw through me and I failed. It's a pity." Li De couldn't help but sigh.

"Me? You have the power of the god of death, right? If you want it, just take it!" Kudo Shinichi roared at Li De.

"That power is connected to your soul. If you want to take it away, you have to extract your soul. Are you sure?" Li De asked Kudo Shinichi with cold murderous intent.

"I" Kudo Shinichi said one word and then he couldn't say anything else.

"Boy, you're nothing special. You're not as good as Xiaolan who is willing to do anything for love." Li De said disdainfully.

"Damn it, all this is your fault," Kudo Shinichi said helplessly and furiously.

But just when he said this, he was interrupted by Li De mercilessly. "Shut up, idiot. You are full of injustice. You don't even know whether you can provoke the other party, but you go to meddle in other people's business. Will you be poisoned and become smaller? If you don't become smaller, will this god have a chance? Don't blame others for everything. You should first find the problem in yourself.

But it seems that a selfish guy like you probably won't look for his own problems, but will only blame others, so it's useless for me to say anything. In fact, you should be thankful that you have the power of the god of death, otherwise, if you were yelling at me, I would have slapped you to death long ago. "

"Master, Shinichi is not selfish, it's just that..." Ran Mouri was still speaking for Kudo Shinichi at this moment.

Reed was not surprised by this, because the slave contract could make the signed slaves loyal to their master Reed.

But this also takes time, especially for someone with strong feelings like Mao Lilan. At least in just a few minutes, don't expect her to completely forget Kudo Shinichi and be devoted to Li De.

However, Li De didn't want to listen to Mao Lilan continue talking, so he directly stopped her with the power of the contract.

"Xiaolan, there are some things you may not have thought about carefully. But it doesn't matter, let me help you sort out your thoughts. Then you will understand whether Kudo Shinichi is selfish or not.

First of all, Xiaolan, do you think that ordinary criminals can come up with a drug that can reverse youth? Never mind what side effects this drug should actually have, just the fact that it has this effect is incredible.

You know, the older people get, the more they want to regain youth and be reborn. Anyone who can research this kind of drug must be a great figure in the world. Only such great figures have such resources and huge research funds.

Can ordinary people afford to provoke a criminal organization formed by such a big shot? The kid next to you was not satisfied with provoking him once, and he even came to your house to lurk, intending to use your father's detective work to inquire about the other party, and then provoke him again. This is completely because he thinks death is not fast enough.

If he had no family, it would be fine if he had no other choice. But in fact, not long after he became a child, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kudo, took the initiative to come to their house and wanted to take him to America for refuge.

Because his parents knew very well how terrifying it was for ordinary people to have such a drug. But this kid refused. Obviously, his father had a wider network of contacts than your father, which would make it easier for him to investigate or do other things. But he refused, just for his pitiful self-esteem.

I never thought that if he was exposed and the other party knew that he was not dead, it would implicate you and your family. If this is not considered as not caring about the safety of you and your family at all, then I don't know what is.

In addition, for your sake, Xiaolan, I will mercifully tell this kid how terrible the organization that made him smaller is. This organization is a transnational terrorist criminal group that usually wears black clothes and uses the names of alcohol as code names.

The attackers were Gin and Vodka, important members of the organization. The drug he took was a semi-finished drug developed by the organization. If a normal person took it, there would be only one result: a sudden heart attack and death.

If this kid didn't have special powers to protect himself, triggering the one in a hundred thousand or even one in a million chance effect and reversing his youth, he would have died in a corner of Dorobee Tropical Amusement Park.

Next, let’s talk about the black organization’s style of doing things. In order to prevent the outside world from knowing the existence of the organization, anyone listed as a target for elimination by this organization will not only be assassinated, but also his relatives and friends will be eliminated.

In other words, once this organization finds out that you, Kudo Shinichi, are still alive, you and your family, Xiaolan and her family, and Dr. Agasa who helped you, will all be targeted for elimination by the organization.

Once they are listed as targets for eradication, the enemy will do whatever it takes. Let’s put it this way, if necessary, they will not hesitate to fly a Black Hawk helicopter to shoot down Tokyo Tower.

You have to know that this organization's usual opponents are national-level intelligence forces such as the American FBI, CIA, Great Eagle Empire M16, and the Neon Police Department Public Security. They are simply not opponents that the tax thieves of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department can deal with.

When carrying out targeted silencing, pistols, grenades, sniper rifles, rocket launchers and other firepower are all useful. People who are targeted rarely survive, and even if they survive, it is still unsafe to rely on the protection of national-level forces.

It's the first time I've seen someone like you, Kudo Shinichi, trying to deal with this organization alone. You are truly ignorant and fearless. You have no idea how many lives you have risked for your pitiful self-esteem."

After listening to Li De'e's long speech, Mao Lilan suddenly became silent.

Because she had never thought about what the drug that made Kudo Shinichi smaller meant and what was behind it.

But after Li De's analysis, Mao Lilan understood.

It was because she understood this that she realized what a deadly crisis Kudo Shinichi's visit to her home posed.

The thought of being killed for no apparent reason by a group of unknown terrorists made Mao Lilan feel a chill in her heart.

Because of the contract, Mao Lilan did not doubt Li's words at all.

Of course, Li De was not telling a lie at this moment.

Looking at the change in Mouri Ran's expression, how could Kudo Shinichi, who is very good at reading people's expressions, not know what his childhood sweetheart is thinking at this moment.

Because if the dragon in front of him was not lying, then it was self-evident what kind of disaster everything he had done before would bring to Xiaolan's family.

In other words, my previous considerations were indeed not thorough enough.

Just as Kudo Shinichi was thinking, he felt the gaze from his childhood sweetheart.

But when Kudo Shinichi looked over, he noticed the complex emotions in Mouri Ran's eyes.

"Xiaolan." Kudo Shinichi seemed to realize something and immediately opened his mouth to apologize.

But as soon as Kudo Shinichi called out his name, Ran Mouri interrupted him with her words.

"Shinichi, I'm sorry."

"Xiaolan, why do you want to apologize?" Kudo Shinichi asked in a panic. After all, he should be the one to apologize.

"Shinichi, please leave Neon and go to your parents' place in America! I beg you not to come back until you have solved your own problems. Although I really shouldn't say this to you at this time, and I'm really sorry, please forgive my selfishness.

My mother is pregnant. I don't want my parents' lives to be threatened because of my relationship with you. I don't want my brother or sister who hasn't seen this world to be deprived of the chance to come to this world. So Shinichi, for me and the doctor, please leave Neon and stay away from us."

At this moment, Mao Lilan was crying and telling Kudo Shinichi about her inner pain in a sobbing voice.

At this moment, she could finally understand how her good friend Aoko felt when she parted with Kuroba Kaito.

It's very painful, and I can say that the heartache is extreme.

But on one side is a lover, and on the other side is family. You can't choose one of the two, but have to give up the former, which is equivalent to burying your own vision of a beautiful and happy life in the future over the years.

How can this be fully described with just the word heartache?
