Chapter 180 Because You Are Also Human
Chapter 181 Because You Are Also Human

"How do you feel, great detective?" I stretched my body on the soft sofa in the VIP room and smiled at Conan. "Isn't it very sour to feel helpless and helpless?"

"..." Conan looked at me coldly and silently. "You seem to enjoy this kind of world?"

"Enjoy it?" I stared at Conan as if he was an idiot. "I never want to enter a world like this again in my lifetime. Who told some idiot detective to come in and take a look? Is it my fault?"

"Do you think I will believe you?" Conan was not fooled at all.

"Kudo..." I regained some composure. "Have you ever thought about it carefully? Why can't you get help here? Why didn't you ask your police friends for help after listening to me?"

Conan was silent. After a short silence, I continued. "Indeed, there are many good policemen in the police force, but they are only policemen, not supermen. They cannot take care of everything. And you have to remember that where there is light, there must be darkness. There are also many greedy policemen in the police station, and such places give them a lot of gray kickbacks. Not only that, in addition to kickbacks, they are also threatened by this place. Over time, they are really corrupted by the darkness and become their running dogs, acting as matchmakers for them. This is why such a place where darkness breeds can stand firmly."

"...Are we just going to let them go on like this? Is there no other way?" Conan was unwilling to give in. In his eyes, justice was so invincible, but standing in this VIP room, the justice he was doing could not help him at all.

"Are you scared?" I asked jokingly. "Do you know why you are scared?"

"I..."

"Because you are also a human being." I became serious. "When the police are facing ordinary thieves, they only need to fire a gun to scare the thieves. Because the thieves are human beings. They don't want to die, so they choose to surrender. Similarly, the police are also human beings. When faced with numerous assassins, mercenaries, mafia and other gunpoints, they will also surrender. Indeed, I admit that there are many upright swords in the police station. However, not every sword is willing to break. Do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

"Don't you understand? I'll explain it in a simpler way." I frowned. "For example, if you call your police friend now, and he brings people to search this place, do you think the people here will not resist and surrender? That's absolutely impossible." I took a sip of the wine glass in my hand. "Let me give you an analogy. For example, one of your calls can summon a hundred police officers to come here. Then a hundred police guns will be mobilized. If there are only a dozen criminals, the police will definitely rush to take him down. But what if they are facing an organization? They will see all the guns here, so how to fight? One hundred against fifty? Or one hundred against one hundred? Or even one hundred against two hundred. According to my estimation, if we look at this den, there are at least more than two hundred people here. So one hundred against two hundred, do you think it is possible for the police to escape unscathed and take down everyone without any injury? The answer is no. And do you know how many people will die because of your call? How many policemen will die? How many innocent people will die? Do you know that because of your call, your friend is likely to die here!"

"I...but..."

"Don't even mention bullshit justice to me, it's no different from brainwashing! People have already lost their lives, what's the point of talking about faith!"

"Xiao Xun, you..." Conan was stunned. It was not the first time he saw Xiao Xun lose control of his emotions, but it was the first time that Xiao Xun said such words in such an environment.

"Hu..." I calmed down and spoke again slowly. "If I hadn't been abducted by the organization, maybe I would be like you now, studying at Teitan High School together, preparing to apply for university together, and living a normal life. Under the protection of the police. However, in such a life, we would not be exposed to such heinous darkness. Right?"

"Kaoru..."

"Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of life. So now I just want a simple life. In the stable days, I just want to protect my family with my own hands and my own way. Instead of relying on outsiders to help solve it. That's all..." Looking through the mask, leaving a dim look, no longer paying attention to Conan, and walked out of the room directly, because outside, I still have unfinished tasks.

"Thank you for the long wait, audience! Now our betting items have been counted. Next, please enjoy the last duel of the day, a duel of life and death, Butcher VS Conan Doyle!"

oh! ! ! ! !
Yes, after some adjustments and lengthy betting statistics, the final round of competition has finally arrived.

"Dear audience, sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Our highlight tonight is finally here. Our defending champion, 'The Butcher', will face off against the challenger, the dark horse 'Conan Doyle'!"

Accompanied by warm applause and crazy roars, I and the man called Butcher walked onto the ring.

"The Butcher! We have been the defending champion for a month. Every battle involves bloodshed, and several times his opponents have died at his feet. This time, his opponent is just a child who is less than 1.2 meters tall. I wonder what cruel method he will use to torture and kill this child!" The host exaggeratedly introduced the players on both sides. "And on this side, our new star, Conan Doyle. Although he is just a child, his ability and skills have amazed everyone. In the first five games, he defeated the enemy with one blow. This final game is a life-and-death battle. I wonder what method he will use to kill his opponent! Let us wait and see!"

After the host finished the introduction, the butcher and I walked onto the ring. Looking at the steel-like muscle man opposite, I couldn't help but frown. The man opposite was a middle-aged man, about 40 years old. According to common sense, he can't fight at this age, but he is still standing here, so there is only one possibility, he is a killer, not an ordinary fighter. Only by being in danger and fighting for a long time can he maintain such strong muscles.

"Then without further ado, let the game begin!"

As the referee gave the order, the audience in the audience was excited again. Because this was a rare life-and-death battle. And the audience did not see Conan Doyle kill the enemy in the first shot, which proved that this game was worth watching. Because the audience knew the rules. In the second half of this game, cold weapons could be used. It would be a real fight!

"Little guy, do you know that the boss has taken a fancy to you?" On the ring, the butcher did not attack me right away, but chatted with me with his slightly hoarse voice. "It's just a pity that he made a wrong decision. This match should not be decided by a life-and-death battle. Because it will make you die in the ring!"

"Oh? Really?" I raised the corner of my mouth and said wickedly. "I think King Cobra made the right decision. Because this way, he can raise one less useless thing."

"Hmph, you sharp-tongued brat. Prepare to die!" Without saying anything more, the butcher rushed towards me. In an instant, a murderous aura rushed into my consciousness. He raised his fist as big as a sandbag and smashed it at me at a speed that was shocking.

Feeling threatened, I jumped back, but I didn't release my killing intent too much at this time. Instead, I dodged his attack and analyzed his movements and strength. Because this is my rare sparring sandbag! It would be bad if I broke it easily.

Bang! ! !
The butcher punched hard on the ring, causing the entire ring to tremble and leaving a deep dent on the ground.

"You're quite strong." I raised a wicked smile and rushed forward. Seeing this, the butcher lowered his center of gravity and prepared to use his fist to block my punch.

Bang!
The two fists collided, and the butcher took two big steps back, while I took at least five steps back. Needless to say, this man is much stronger than me.

The muffled sound of the fists made the audience's teeth chill, but it could not resist their crazy roars. Almost everyone in the audience placed a bet on the person he favored. Whether it was me or the butcher, we could hear cheers and insults.

I shook my numb hands and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with my bones. Then I straddled the half horse, thrust my fists forward, and prepared to launch the next attack.

"Kid, you're pretty good!" The butcher also sneered and raised his knee to attack me again.

I ducked to avoid a whip kick, shifted my center of gravity forward, and attacked the butcher's weight-bearing leg. The attack point, of course, was the knee. After his whip kick, my left leg served as a support point, and the knee would be much less affected and easier to break. As long as I found the right position, I could smash his meniscus with one blow.

"drink!"

With a roar, the butcher spun around with his waist as the axis, raised his center leg to avoid my attack. Then, using inertia, he turned around and threw another flying knee at me. However, the moment the attack missed, I realized his next move and stepped back to the right to avoid the flying knee.

Then he rolled to the right to avoid the butcher's attack range, stood up again, and prepared for a new round of attacks.

The butcher stood firm after spinning around and falling down. He stared at me coldly, his eyes filled with endless murderous intent.

In a flash, the two men moved again, one punching from the left and the other from the right at the same time, the two fists collided, but the difference was that this time, neither of them took a step back, and then they punched, blocked, kicked, dodged. Tripped, countered. Locked the throat, pressed the body. One set of combos and collisions after another were displayed in the ring. The audience in the audience was almost crazy. This was the most exciting fight they had ever seen, and also the most gorgeous performance.

Bang! ! !
The two kicks collided, and the pain in my leg bones made me frown again. I quickly retreated from the attack range, and I took a false step to relieve the pain in my leg. It was indeed too small, and the bones were too soft. I was no match for such a hard collision. If this butcher was a little harder, this collision might have broken my leg.

"Boy, what's wrong? Can't you bear it?" The butcher showed a ferocious smile on his face. "The fun hasn't started yet. Don't be in a hurry to die!"

Drop! Drop! Drop!!

As they were talking, an alarm sounded above the ring. As the alarm sounded, the cheers from the audience reached a peak again, because the best attraction of the life-and-death battle, the weapons battle, was about to begin.
