Chapter 70 You are mine
Chapter 71 You are mine

As soon as I walked out of the elevator, I ran into Vermouth standing at the door. Vermouth was also surprised to see me, and a look of surprise flashed across her face as she saw the blood flowing from my hands and legs.

"Bing, you..." Vermouth's pupils shrank slightly and continued. "You went to find Gin?"

"Ah, how could I not go when he invited me?" I smiled coldly and continued to walk out.

"You...you killed him?" Vermouth's body trembled slightly.

"No, he is still alive, at the back door on the third floor." Seeing Belmode like this, I frowned.

"What exactly happened between you two?" Vermouth looked at me solemnly. She really didn't know how I defeated Gin. At least the skills I showed in front of her were not enough to defeat Gin.

"Nothing, I just chatted with him briefly." I said expressionlessly and continued walking back.

"Sister Bei." I spoke again when I passed by Vermouth. "Remember to tell Gin that he owes me a life." After saying that, I turned around and left the elevator corridor without hesitation.

"Bing... How strong are you..." Vermouth frowned as she looked at me, looking a little embarrassed. Without saying anything more, she turned around, got on the elevator, and pressed the button for the third floor.

"I am back."

"Welcome back, Brother Bing." Mary came up to me in a hurry. "Brother Bing, are you injured?" Mary's face changed slightly when she saw my wrist dripping with blood.

"Ah. The wound on my hand has burst, and my leg was just grazed by a bullet. It's okay, I'll go wash it first, and you'll help me re-bandage it later. How's Shiho?" I asked Mary.

"Sister Shirley has recovered a little, at least she's no longer shaking, but her eyes are still unfocused." Mary replied with a frown.

"I understand. You get ready first. I'll be there in a minute." After saying that, I turned and walked into the bathroom. I washed away the anger, murderous intent, and blood from the fight with Gin. I had just fought a peak duel with Gin, and the murderous intent on my body had not completely disappeared at this moment. If I approached Shiho like this, her emotions, which had just stabilized, would be disturbed again by me.

"After a quick wash, I took out gauze to bandage the wound on my leg, changed into a new set of clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.

"Brother Bing." Mary was waiting for me in the living room, with a lot of bandage equipment in front of her. I guess she was ready for my injury.

"Yes. Thank you for your help." I smiled faintly and extended my injured hand. Mary quickly fixed the broken wound again.

"Brother Bing. The wound has been treated." Mary smiled at me.

"Well. Thank you for your hard work, Mary. I'll take care of Shiho. You can go back and rest first." I smiled. After Mary left, I slowly walked to Shiho's side.

"Shiho..." I sat next to Shiho.

"Shiho. It's okay. It's okay..."

"It's okay, Shiho. It's all my fault. I failed to protect you." I said softly. "It's okay. All the troubles have been solved."

"Bing..." Shiho's voice was a little choked.

"Yeah. I'm here."

"Bing..." Shiho closed her eyes. Her brows were furrowed. It made me feel distressed. "Be good. I'm here. I'm here..."

"Bing, I'm scared..." Shiho buried her head in my arms, tears falling.

"It's okay. Don't be afraid anymore. No one will hurt you anymore."

"Shiho, are you feeling better?" After a brief moment of silence, I reached out and touched the tip of Shiho's nose.

"Yeah." Shiho nodded slightly. After a long while, she raised her head and whispered to me.

"Bing, are you free tomorrow? Or are you free tonight?" When Shiho saw me looking at the time, he suddenly thought of something.

"Yes. I have accepted a three-day mission, and I still have two days to myself. By the way, I heard from Mary that you are going to meet her in Beika Town today? What's going on?"

"Yeah. I wanted to talk to you about this, too." Shiho sat up and looked at me seriously. "Accompany me to Beika-cho 2-chome tonight."

"Huh? What's wrong?" I suddenly smelled the plot and asked Shiho with a raised eyebrow.

"That drug, APTX-4869, has already begun in vivo testing."

"Is that so? So what? Is there anything worth checking out?"

"Well, among those test subjects, all of them have been confirmed dead, except for one person whose whereabouts are still unknown. My task is to investigate that guy's family. Although I have already investigated once a month ago, I think it would be better to go and take another look."

"Kudo Shinichi?"

"Huh? How did you know?" Shiho looked at me in surprise. Normally, it is impossible for all the experiments of the organization to be leaked.

"Well, I have my own ways. Forget about that. Rest first. I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Bing, I really can't see through you anymore."

"Haha, so what if you can't see through me? You just need to know that as long as I live in this world, I will not let anyone hurt you. Angel who has fallen into hell, please let me, the ice devil, protect you for the rest of your life!" I pinched Shiho's nose and smiled gently at her.

Late at night.

"Bing... you will always protect me, right?" After a while, like a dream, that soft voice sounded in my ear.

"Ah...definitely."

Roses in hell, bloom to your heart's content. Don't worry about the storm. I will carry your burdens and block the wind and rain in front of you.
