"...Hmm." I don't know how long it took. A weak groan broke the silence in the room. When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in my room. I was not wearing any clothes. There were only some bruises on the areas covered by the bulletproof vest, and the rest of my body was basically wrapped in bandages and gauze. Especially the blood-stained gauze on my legs, which made my nerves twitch slightly.
Pain. If it was before, this little pain might not be a big deal. I could even walk immediately. But with my current body... I would have to stay in bed for at least two days. So looking at the ceiling, I silently promised myself that when the injury was completely healed, I would resume the hellish training in the organization.
I was lying on the bed, just about to sit up, but found Jingliu lying beside my bed, sleeping soundly. From the dark circles under her eyes and her haggard face, it seemed that Jingliu had been worrying about me during the time I was unconscious. With a relieved smile on her lips, I reached out and gently slid my hand across her charming cheek.
"Hmm..." Jingliu woke up subconsciously, as if she felt my movements. Looking at the pale but relieved child on the bed, Jingliu let out a long breath. Then she frowned and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on my waist.
"Hiss..." I took a breath. I really didn't have any temper for Jingliu's little mood. I could only smile awkwardly and gently moved to the side to make room for someone else. Jingliu also understood what I meant. After a big stretch, he lifted the quilt and lay down. He found a comfortable position, then reached out and gently hugged me into his arms. Because of my injuries, Jingliu just leaned against me gently and put his hand on my chest.
"...Are you angry?" I turned my head to look at Jingliu, who was not saying a word and just dozing with his eyes closed.
"No." Although Jingliu said this, I could still clearly feel the slight dissatisfaction in his tone.
"I'm sorry, Sister Jingliu." I begged. "I shouldn't have kept it from you."
"Nothing... I just don't want you to get hurt so badly every time you save someone. How many lives do you have left?" Jingliu opened his eyes while speaking, and the fragrance from his lips and teeth gently sprayed into my ears with a taste of heartache. "Mingmei is like this, what about Ling? What about Shiho?"
"Ah... As for Ling, I can only think of another way, after all, her situation is special. But Shiho is fine." I smiled with relief. Thinking of this, I suddenly asked Jingliu. "By the way, how long did I sleep?"
"...102 hours."
"What?! Ouch! It hurts, it hurts..." I sat up in surprise, but soon lay down again because of the pain.
"Be quiet and don't move!" Jingliu hurriedly helped me lie down. "Your wound has just healed, be careful not to break it."
"Ugh... sorry." I lay down apologetically and asked in confusion. "Why did I sleep for so long?"
"Your resistance and immunity have both dropped. I wonder if it's because of the side effects of the medicine." Jing Liu frowned slightly. "This time, the blood loss was much greater than before, and the effect of the anesthetic lasted longer than expected. Fortunately, after the critical period, your breathing became even, otherwise I was afraid you would..." Jing Liu suddenly stopped talking halfway through the conversation.
"Is that so..." I frowned. "Can I recover through exercise?"
"If the medicine didn't fundamentally change your physique, then I think you can still recover. After all, there was nothing wrong with it when I checked it with Mr. Shoulang last time." Jingliu thought for a moment and said to me. "Anyway, Bing, although your strength and endurance haven't decreased too much, judging from the current situation, exercise should be the only way to improve your resistance and immunity now."
"Ah, but it doesn't matter. I'm used to it anyway and don't care about the training." I frowned and thought about it. This kind of thing can't be forced. After all, it's a miracle that I can survive and become smaller after using that medicine. (ps: The 102 hours above is the number I gave after calculating the timeline of the main line and combining it with the actual medical time, including taking into account the injury status, blood loss ratio, critical period, anesthesia and other factors. If you have any questions, look it up in the book yourself.)

"102 hours, plus it's daytime now, that means less than five days..." Lying on the bed, I frowned and thought, from the time the news of Akemi's death reached the organization, then when Shiho was informed, and then when Shiho was imprisoned for disobeying orders, and then when she escaped, five days. I don't know what has become of it.
"Sister Jingliu, has it rained these days?" I asked after thinking for a while.
"Raining?" Jingliu was puzzled. "It did rain one afternoon a few days ago... What happened?"
"On the second day of my coma?"
"Well...if I remember correctly." Jingliu thought about it and nodded.
"Give me the phone." I pointed to my cell phone on the table. After Jingliu took the phone, I made a call.
"Moses, this is Dr. Agasa's home. I'm away now because of something. Please leave a message after the beep." Yes, in my memory, Shiho escaped on a rainy night. If this rainy night was four days ago, then it is very likely that Shiho escaped on that day, and then another three days. According to Dr. Agasa's friendship with the principal and his efficiency, it is not a problem to get the certificate of Teitan Elementary School within three days.
"Doctor? I'm Xun. If you hear the message, please give it to me as soon as possible..."
"Moshi Moshi, Xiaoxun." Before I finished my words, the doctor's voice from the other end of the phone came into my ears.
"Um... Doctor, so you are here." I squinted my eyes and said unscrupulously.
"Oh, sorry, sorry. I was just doing the final assembly of my new invention and didn't have time to answer the phone." On the other side of the phone, Dr. Agasa smiled naively.
"Well, then after hearing my voice, did the new invention fall apart?"
"Ahaha, ahahaha." The doctor laughed awkwardly again. "But speaking of which, Xiaoxun, I haven't heard from you for almost a week. Xiaolan called you and said...well, your mother answered the phone. She said you were sick and needed to rest at home. What happened to you? Shinichi thought something happened to you and almost called the police."
"Forget it, that guy is probably afraid that I'll go on another mission." I said angrily. At the same time, I looked at Jingliu, asking her with my eyes if she had a call. And Jingliu also stuck out her tongue mischievously, indicating that she had forgotten. After all, she has been paying attention to my health, and she would forget about this kind of call after hanging up.
"He didn't let it slip?"
"Ah, he accepted what Xiaolan said, but he knew in his heart that you didn't go to Eri's place. But he didn't know where you went. Where did you go?"
"Well, I had an accident. I was injured. I've been recovering for some time." I said truthfully.
"Injured? Are you really going again..."
"No..." I interrupted the doctor. "It was just an accident. I was accidentally involved in an explosion. Now I'm fine. By the way, putting aside Kudo's matter, have you met a little girl these days?" I got to the point. "Huh?! I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it! Xun, do you know that another child who was drugged by the organization has appeared!"
"Hu..." After hearing what the doctor said, I couldn't help but let out a long breath. Shiho, you're finally back safely. "Hey, I know, I know. So, where is she? I want to talk to her."
"Well...she went to Teitan Elementary School." The Doctor said awkwardly.
"...Doctor, you are really fucking efficient." The corners of my mouth twitched. "So, have you told her about me?"
"No, because I'm not sure if she was sent by that organization... Um, that, you understand?"
"Hey, Doctor, you're very smart..." I smiled. Indeed, besides me, there was another kid like this. Even the Doctor couldn't trust him right away. "Tell me what you said first."
"Oh oh." The doctor chose his words. "After I met her... Wait, why am I following your words? How do you know that I met another child here, and a little girl? Is this your plan?"
"I..." I held my forehead. "Doctor, stop being cute and trying to make up words at this time... Let's get down to business."
"Um... well, when she came, she told me that she was a traitor to the organization. She also explained clearly about Shinichi. Then she asked me if I knew someone named Bing."
"And you forgot my code name is IceWine?"
"IceWine? Ice wine? Oh, so the ice is talking about you." The doctor suddenly realized.
"That is... not saying anything?"
"This... well, I really didn't tell her." The doctor scratched his head and said awkwardly. "But, I also took into account your identity, so I didn't tell her about you. Since she already knew about Shinichi, there's no point in hiding Shinichi's affairs from her. Even if she is really a spy, after knowing about Shinichi, Shinichi and I can't escape, but at least you can escape. So I kept her by my side these days, but after a few days of contact, I found that what she said seemed to be true. There is really no possibility of a spy. Otherwise, I would have died long ago, so I wanted her to go to Teitan Elementary School and contact Shinichi. But she said that she planned to tell Shinichi about this matter herself, so I didn't say anything. On the other hand, I also wanted to contact you as soon as possible, but your phone was unreachable. The only call that was connected was Xiaolan's."
"Is that so..." I thought about it, maybe Jingliu was afraid of disturbing my rest, so he turned the phone to silent after Xiaolan's call. "I know, it's okay, Doctor, that child is someone I know, and she is also the creator of APTX-4869. You can trust her."
"Oh, I feel relieved when you say that. Then, do you want me to tell her about your story?" asked the doctor.
"No, I'll go to school today. I'll talk to her myself."
"Well... okay, but Xiaoxun, what is going on? You and that little girl seem to have some connection, otherwise how could you know all this?" Dr. Agasa asked puzzled.
"Well, um... that's because I once learned a very magical skill in that organization."
"Skills? What skills?"
"Prophecy."
"..."
"Don't believe it? Okay, then I'll give you a prophecy now." The corners of my mouth raised.
"Eh? What prophecy?"
"Well, that is, there will be an extra 100 million yen in your account later."
"Hahaha, stop joking, Xiaoxun, how could I have so much extra money for no reason?" The doctor laughed.
"Don't believe it? Then check it on your phone now. Didn't I buy you a new phone? The bank will send you a message reminder." I looked at Jingliu who was holding the phone and making an OK gesture to me, and smiled faintly.
"Well... Even if you say so, I also... Wow! Really, there is really a sum of money transferred to me, tens, hundreds, thousands... It really is 100 million yen!" As soon as he opened his mobile phone, a text message caught the doctor's eyes. Looking at the countless zeros on it, Dr. Agasa's heart could hardly bear it.
"So, Doctor, you have to believe me." I nodded. "Then, here comes the second prophecy. You need to use this money to buy a new SUV."
"Uh? Why is that?"
"Because your Beetle won't be able to accommodate it anymore. Hey~ I'm hanging up." Without saying anything more, I hung up the phone.
"Uh..." Dr. Agasa listened to the busy tone on the phone, with a puzzled look on his face. "Ah... Could it be that Xiaoxun really called me for this 100 million yen? Isn't this too much? But that kid always has a reason for what he does. This time... forget it, I'll just listen to him and go pick out a new car first. By the way, online shopping, online shopping~ pick out a model first and make an order, hehe."
On the other side, I hung up the phone and sat up. Although I was weak, it was not enough to stop me from getting out of bed.
"Bing, where are you going?" Jingliu saw me about to get up, so he hurriedly helped me up and asked me.
"Let's eat first, then go to school." I looked at the time and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. "Go pick up Shiho and take her home!"
