Chapter 6 Lost Memory
Chapter 6 Lost Memory

"Damn it. It's been so long and there's still no news!" Kogoro hammered the wall hard.

"Brother Maori, calm down. We are also trying to find a solution." Inspector Megure grabbed Maori Kogoro's arm and stopped him.

"Don't worry about me! Xiaoxun hasn't been found yet. How do you expect me to stay calm?" Maori Kogoro's eyes were red at this time. It was obvious that he was too tired. In order to find Maori Xun, he had been running around all night.

"Hubby, please calm down. This is a hospital, please keep quiet. Xiaolan hasn't woken up yet." The one who spoke was Hibiki Eri. For her son and daughter, she also stayed up all night. Her pretty face was now pale and haggard.

"Lan... Damn it..." Maori Kogoro frowned and sat down on the chair unwillingly. But his fists were still clenched tightly and he couldn't relax at all.

"Hmm...ah. It hurts." A childish voice sounded at the bedside. Xiaolan had woken up.

"Ran!" When Hibiki saw her beloved daughter wake up, she quickly leaned over the bedside and asked, "Ran, how are you feeling? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Ah. Mom. Well. Xiaolan is fine. It just hurts my body." Xiaolan frowned.

"Be good. Xiaolan, have a good rest. The pain won't come after a while." Kiyori touched Xiaolan's head lovingly.

"Lan, do you remember what happened last night?" Kogoro sat on the other side of the bed and asked Xiaolan. Maybe he could get some information about Xiaoxun from Xiaolan.

"Last night...last night. I remember Brother Xun carried me through a very dark alley. I lay on his back and stared at the orchid brooch in my hand. Ah? Where is my brooch?" Xiaolan suddenly realized. The brooch she had held in her hand yesterday was gone.

"You are talking about this, Xiaolan." Kogoro took out a small object from his pocket. It was an orchid-shaped brooch.

"Ah. That's it." Xiaolan took the brooch from her father's hand and held it in her own hand.

"I found this at the car accident scene yesterday." Kogoro explained to the others present. "So, Xiaolan, do you know what happened next?"

"Hmm? Later, my brother was carrying Xiaolan on the road. Suddenly, I felt my brother jump. Xiaolan didn't catch the brooch and let it fall out. Then Xiaolan got off my brother's back. When she went to pick up my brooch, a dazzling light shone into Xiaolan's eyes. Then I felt my brother calling me. Then Xiaolan felt like she was flying. Then... Then Xiaolan didn't know what happened." Xiaolan frowned and looked at Kogoro, who looked haggard. She didn't understand why her father asked her this.

"Oh, by the way, Mom. Where's my brother? I bought him a brooch, too. It's a lavender brooch. Where is my brother? Why can't I see him?"

"Xiaolan, your brother..." After hearing the whole story, Hibiki Eri couldn't stop crying. When she heard Xiaolan's question, she was even more sad and didn't know how to answer.

Ring, ring, ring. . . Ring, ring, ring. .

The ringing of a phone interrupted the situation. It was Inspector Megure.

"Moses Moses. This is Inspector Megure. Um. What? What did you say!! I get it. Okay. I'll be there right away." Inspector Megure hung up the phone with a serious look on his face.

"How's it going, Megure? Is there any news about Kaoru?" Kogoro asked nervously.

"Brother Maori, can you please have a word with me?" Officer Megure said with a serious expression. He opened the door of the treatment room and walked out. Then Maori Kogoro followed him out.

About three minutes later, Kogoro walked in with a gloomy face. Seeing her husband in such a state, Kisaki Eri's heart sank to the bottom.

"Xiaolan." Mao Li said with a fake smile. "You should have a good rest here. Dad and mom will go find your brother and come back. You have to listen to the nurse, okay?"

"Okay, Xiaolan, I understand. Mom and Dad, you need to come back soon. Xiaolan wants to go home and play with her brother."

"Well, don't worry, Xiaolan. We'll be back soon." After saying that, Kogoro gave Kisaki Eri a look, signaling her to come out.

After leaving the hospital, Kogoro and Kisaki Eri got into Megure's police car.

"Honey, what happened? Is there any news about Xiaoxun?"

"Eri. You have to listen to me calmly. Officer Megure just received a call. At a port not far from here, the police found the body of a child in the sea, and the blood type was identified as type A."

"What? What?" Yingli trembled after hearing that.

"Calm down, Eri. Even though the blood type is A, that doesn't necessarily mean it's Xiaoxun, right? Now we're going to go over there to verify it. Do you understand? Calm down." Kogoro consoled his wife, hoping she could calm down.

"Honey, I'm scared..." Yingli gradually calmed down, but she was still sobbing.

"Okay, Eri. It's okay. Xiaoxun is such an outstanding child, she will be fine." Kogoro held his wife in his arms and kept comforting her trembling body.

Megure, who was driving the car in the front, saw Maori Kogoro's bloodshot eyes from the rearview mirror. He could also understand how anxious he was at the moment. He couldn't help but speed up the accelerator.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the port. Many police officers were on the scene sorting things out.

"This way. Mori." Inspector Megure greeted him. Very rarely, Inspector Megure seldom addressed Mori in such a formal way.

Walking through the crowd. At the edge of the port. In the center of the staff. A small figure. Lying on the ground. When Yingli saw the figure on the ground. Her nerves collapsed instantly. Because the child was wearing the same clothes that Xiaoxun was wearing at that time.

"Impossible. This must be a coincidence." Eri's eyes were dull. Because the body's face had been soaked in seawater and had wounds from impact, it was no longer possible to see any features, so Maori Kogoro could not recognize it by appearance.

"Oh, right. Cards. Honey, Xiaoxun should have the card we made for him." Yingli thought of the simple identity cards that she made for Xiaoxun and Xiaolan.

"Yes! That's right!" Kogoro also reacted. He quickly squatted down and touched the pocket of the clothes on the body. Eri's heart tightened again. How she hoped that she would not find the card in this piece of clothing.

But. . .

Maori Kogoro took out a piece of paper that had been soaked in seawater from the child's pocket. Although it was wrinkled, the words on it were still so dazzling.

Maori Kaoru.

"How... How could this happen..." Mao Li dropped his wrists weakly. Ying Li watched her husband's movements and understood everything. Her heart, which had just been tense, had completely collapsed. She walked forward, knelt beside the body and burst into tears.

"Xun...Xiao Xun...No!!! No!!! Waaaaaaaa!!!" Yingli cried until she was hoarse. No one tried to comfort her. Because everyone present knew that no amount of consolation could bring back this mother's child.

"Damn it... Damn it!!! How could this happen!!! How... could this happen..." Kogoro also knelt down. He buried his head deeply. Tears. No one knew if this iron man had ever shed tears. But now, everyone saw that his resolute eyes were filled with sad tears.

"No. No. It must not be! Husband. I don't believe this is our child! This must not be Xiaoxun! Officer Megure. I demand an identification. I demand an autopsy!" Kisaki Eri yelled at Megure as if she was crazy.

"Mrs. Mori. Please calm down." Megure understood Eri's current behavior.

"No. It must be identified!! He is not my child. He must not be Xiaoxun!" "Okay, Eri, calm down." Kogoro, who was also kneeling on the ground, looked even more haggard at this time. But as a husband, he had the responsibility to comfort his wife as soon as possible.

"No. I have to. Husband, have you forgotten? Xiaoxun has only been sick once in the past six years. When we took him to the doctor for a checkup, the doctor told us that Xiaoxun has a very unique feature. Have you forgotten?" Yingli shouted at the top of her lungs. Tears kept flashing in her eyes.

"Hmm? You mean..."

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

Um... where is this...?

I opened my hazy eyes. The pain in my body made me frown. The white ceiling. The smell of disinfectant. It seemed that I was in the hospital.

"Are you awake?" A soft female voice sounded in my ear. "He is awake, his heart and lung functions are normal, and he has no limb paralysis."

"Ah. Excuse me, who are you..."

"Don't talk yet. Do as I say." The female voice said in a commanding tone.

I couldn't move at all because of the severe pain in my body.

After a while, a pretty face appeared in front of me. Long black hair and big eyes. Judging from her clothes, she should be a nurse.

“Can you hear me?” the woman... no... the girl's voice softened.

"Ah. Where is this?"

"He can speak. He seems to be conscious again." The nurse was reporting on the intercom. Then she took out a mirror and pointed it at me. "Can you recognize who this is?"

"This is... Are you stupid? Hold the mirror up to me. Of course it's me."

The nurse heard me talking. A “井” shape popped up on her head. She continued to report.

"He's self-aware. He looks fine." She patted my leg, which was in a cast, vigorously.

"Whoa. What are you doing?"

"The pain nerves are normal." She ignored me and continued to report.

"Hey. Kid. Are you hungry? Or do you want to go to the bathroom?"

"Really? I'm not hungry right now. But I need to go to the bathroom."

"Yes. All body functions are fine. Next we just need to wait for his bones to grow." The female voice made the report and turned off the intercom. She looked at me and smiled mischievously. "Just now, that was a punishment for you calling me stupid. Let me introduce myself. My name is Shizuru Shirakawa. I am your attending physician and nurse. You can call me Sister Shizuru. Please introduce yourself."

"Ah. Hello. Sister Jingliu. Nice to meet you." I smiled bitterly. "But I'm sorry. I can't introduce myself. Because I don't know who I am."

"What did you say?"

"I said. I forgot my name."

After hearing what I said, she picked up the flashlight and shone it on my pupils.

"Do you know what this is?" She waved the flashlight.

"flashlight."

"Who are your parents?"

"Parents?" I frowned. "I don't remember."

"How old are you this year."

"I don't know." My brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Am I pretty?"

"Huh? What? Ah. It hurts." Before I could react, she put her hand on my head.

"What are you doing?" I asked, frowning.

She didn't answer. But her face looked a little serious and her eyebrows were slightly frowned. She picked up the intercom again.

"Brother Gin. Sorry. Let me report again. All his indicators are normal. But he has lost his memory."

There was a long silence. A cold voice came from the intercom. "Is it possible to recover?"

"Based on the X-rays, it seems that he won't be able to survive. His head injury is quite serious. The hippocampus under the cerebral cortex is severely damaged. I didn't report it just now because I saw that he was very conscious. I'm sorry, Brother Gin."

"It doesn't matter. It saves us the trouble of brainwashing him. When will he get better?"

"About three months."

"Got it. Keep an eye on him."

"Yes." Jingliu turned off the intercom.

"Sister Jingliu." Seeing that she turned off the intercom, I asked. "If it's convenient, can you tell me where this is?"

Ps: For the convenience of writing, Xiaofeng set the blood types of Maori Kaoru, Miyano Shiho, Maori Ran, and Kudo Shinichi to A type. This is to illustrate. It also serves as a foreshadowing for the following text. If there is anything wrong, please point it out and Xiaofeng will try to change it.

Ps2: The Demon Guardian will stop here first, and will be updated after the Angel Guardian is released. Please forgive me for the inconvenience caused by Xiaofeng's problem. I can explain here that the following articles are all original articles about life in the organization, that is, with Shiho when she was young. There are a lot of foreshadowing, so please look forward to it.

Ps3: Xiaofeng is recruiting article covers at a high price. If you are interested, please contact me and discuss the specific details.
