When Ruri woke up from the cold, she was choked by the dust in the air and sneezed twice. The smell of the strange air woke her up almost immediately. She got up from the ground in fear, and panicked. Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, I felt a little confused.

She seemed to be in an abandoned warehouse, still wearing the nightgown she had put on before going to bed, and her feet were bare.

Her first reaction was that she had been kidnapped, but who was so capable that he could take her alive from the home of the dignified police chief Jiang Guling without any movement?

And she doesn’t seem to be restricted from moving...

The pink and white nightdress was stained by the dust on the ground, but she had no time to care about it at the moment.With the silver moonlight coming in through the skylight, she touched the entrance of the warehouse and carefully tried to pull up the closed rolling shutter door of the warehouse.

The sound of "creak--" was particularly harsh in the silent midnight.

It was a blessing that the door wasn't locked - but that made the whole thing even weirder.

If you say this is a joke, it's too much.And she felt that there were no relatives or friends around her who liked to make such nasty and excessive jokes.

The late autumn night was already a bit cool, and the pale street lights illuminated the familiar street outside. She quickly recognized where it was, because not far from here was her childhood home, the Maori Detective Agency.

She didn't have any equipment except for the nightgown, and of course she didn't bring her mobile phone. Although she didn't know what happened to her, she thought she could go to her friend's house first, to give her friend who was always nervous. Excessive men wish you peace.

——The little girl was thinking this in her mind and started running barefoot on the cement-paved road.

It was late, but there was a knock on the door at the reception desk of the detective agency.

Mouri Kogoro was drunk again tonight, and now he had already slept like a dead pig that could not be awakened by thunder. Mao Lilan complained about his unresponsive father, put on a coat and went downstairs to check.

Late at night is always accompanied by danger. The little boy Edogawa Conan who was fostered by her family did not trust her and followed her step by step.

They saw a dirty blonde girl in pajamas at the door of the office.

The girl looked over at them. She had a pair of eyes as beautiful as sapphires. Those beautiful blue eyes lit up a bit when she saw them. Before she could speak, Mao Lilan exclaimed: " What happened to you, miss?"

The girl's happy expression turned into astonishment in an instant.

"I..." Her voice was hoarse and her expression was blank, "Eh? Don't you recognize me...?"

Mao Lilan looked at her in surprise and confusion, and then at the little boy who followed him down. Conan shook his head in the affirmative and looked at the girl with distant and inquiring eyes.

"Anyway, please come in and sit down first." Mao Lilan said politely and opened the door of the office. "Are you cold? I'm going to boil some hot water. Can Conan get a blanket for this young lady? ?”

The little boy responded obediently and ran quickly to find a blanket.

Before Ruri could clear her thoughts, Conan quickly handed her the blanket and asked her, "Miss, do you need us to call the police for you?"

Ruri was stunned for a moment and slowly shook his head.

Conan asked again: "What's your name, little sister? What happened to you?"

"My name is Amuro Ruri..." she said with some difficulty and confusion, "I was sleeping at my own home, but when I woke up just now, I found that I was sleeping in a warehouse nearby..."

Conan's eyes became more solemn: "A nearby warehouse?...Is your surname Amuro?"

Xiaolan came over at this time holding a pot of hot tea, "Huh? Does it mean that Miss Amuro knows Mr. Toru Amuro, my father's apprentice?"

Ruri looked at Xiaolan blankly and answered the question, "Excuse me...can I borrow the phone here?"

The other person quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, are you Teacher Mori? What happened so late?"

The man's magnetic voice still felt familiar to her after being distorted by the radio waves. She felt that her throat was a little dry, and the "zero" on her lips was forcefully swallowed by her. She said slowly, "Tou-kun..."

The person on the other side paused for a moment, then quickly put on a friendly business smile, "Miss, who are you?"

She closed her eyes and couldn't speak anymore, "I'm Ruri..."

"Ruri?" The other person said hesitantly, "I'm sorry... Do I know you?"

Ruri is not an idiot, the current situation is already obvious.

This is a world where she doesn't exist.

So, is this the "original work"?

But now that Conan has become smaller, those few people she once snatched from the hands of death...

She dared not think about it.

All kinds of random thoughts about the self-repair of the world line, jumping between countless parallel universes, and the futility of all attempts to change personal destiny filled her brain at this moment.

Tears came out in big bursts.

She squatted down without any strength, crying uncontrollably. She tried to keep quiet, but some sobs that she couldn't hide still escaped from her teeth.

"Ruri?" The voice on the other end of the phone became urgent, "Xiao Ruri? What's wrong with you?"

From a long time ago, that person would only add the word "小" when calling her when he wanted to coax her...

The little girl felt sad, sobbed and muttered "I'm sorry" indistinctly, and closed the landline phone with a "snap".

Xiaolan and Conan, who had been paying attention to her not far away, had already run over in surprise.

Toru Amuro quickly arrived at the office and saw the girl who called him abruptly and then hung up.

She sat blankly on the sofa for guests. She must have rolled on the floor that had not been cleaned for a long time. She was very embarrassed. She raised her hazy tearful eyes and looked at the visitor anxiously.

The pair of washed sapphires went straight into the man's eyes.

Toru Amuro's breathing almost inaudibly stagnated, and he quickly raised a sunny smile, "Good evening, what happened?"

Conan looked at him, "Mr. Amuro, doesn't he know this young lady?"

Toru Amuro shook his head, "Such a cute girl, if I had ever seen her, I would definitely be impressed by her."

"She said her name is Ruri Amuro." Conan said, "And she also has blond hair, which is relatively rare in Japan. Is she really not a relative of Mr. Amuro?"

Toru Amuro did not answer him immediately this time, but looked at the girl with some confusion, as if he was not sure whether he had such a distant relative.

Ruri pursed her lips and curled up into a ball as if to escape.

After Mao Lilan relayed it, Toru Amuro, who understood the strange ins and outs of the matter, touched Ruri's head with compassion, "A girl must be frightened after experiencing these things alone, right? Poor child, where do you live? ?If you believe me, how about I take you home first?"

She buried her head in her arms and murmured: "I probably have no home..."

"Sure enough, we should call the police, right?" Conan frowned and picked up the phone, "She doesn't seem to be able to explain what is going on. In this case, would it be better to leave it to the police?"

But Toru Amuro raised his hand to stop him, and didn't know what he was thinking about. He asked suddenly, as if on a whim, "Xiao Ruri, I have a vacant guest room in my house. You can live in it by simply cleaning it up. Do you want to come to my house first?" "

Conan and Xiaolan looked at him in surprise.

Ruri raised her head carefully, obviously a little moved, "Is it okay?"

Amuro smiled brightly: "Of course."

The Mazda was a familiar environment to her, and the residual heating made the tired girl feel sleepy exponentially. While the car was still warming up, she had already tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep with her head on the pillow.

The slight snoring failed to escape Toru Amuro's alert ears. He glanced in the rearview mirror at the girl in the back seat who was completely unguarded against him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It wasn't until the car reached its destination and Toru Amuro turned off the engine that she suddenly woke up.

Toru Amuro looked back at her with a gentle smile in his eyes: "We're at my house."

Of course Ruri knew she had arrived at his home, because before that day, it was also her home.

She said "hmm" softly, got off the car with bare feet, and shivered.

The next second, a coat that was still warm was placed on her shoulders.

Toru Amuro said, "Don't worry, I'll have someone deliver some sets of clothes when it gets up."

She said "hmm" again and thanked her in a low voice.

Toru Amuro smiled: "You're welcome, don't be so polite."

The home was generally the same home, but there were some differences from her home that couldn't be ignored.

The guest room that had been transformed into her girly room had now returned to its original appearance. The cute pillows and small dolls that could be seen everywhere were gone, and the bathroom was completely gone. Traces belonging to a girl.

After taking a shower, she changed into a set of clean and spacious men's pajamas. After drying her hair, Toru Amuro had already made the bed quickly.

Ruri stood blankly in front of the bed for a while, and Toru Amuro rubbed her hair in relief, "It's very late today, you go to bed first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything else. I'll go back to my room first. If you have something urgent, Just knock on my door, don’t be afraid to wake me up, I’m not angry when I wake up.”

Sure enough, no matter which world he is in, he is always so meticulous, considerate and gentle.

Ruri sniffed and finally said "hmm" with a nasal sound.

The newly changed sheets and quilts no longer had the familiar smell to her. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. She was obviously extremely tired and could fall asleep in the car for a second, but now she suddenly couldn't fall asleep.

Her mind was too confused. After tossing and turning for a long time, she finally decided to get up and take a walk. With many years of experience in living in this house, she skillfully opened the door of the guest room without making a sound, but she heard Amuro coming from the balcony. Toru's voice.

"Oh?" The man seemed to be talking on the phone, and his whole person exuded a dangerous aura, "Belmod, are you following me?"

Hearing the familiar name, Ruri subconsciously looked towards the balcony.

"Okay, I believe you for the time being." Toru Amuro said in a lazy tone, "But you are too nervous, I didn't touch your cat. But I think it's quite interesting for you to raise cats in the cloud, so I also picked up a kitten and took it home to raise."

"What, are you curious about the kitten I picked up?" Toru Amuro laughed and said in a long voice, "I won't let you play with it - I have already fallen in love with that child, so she is now my cat. .”

Ruri was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong.

It seemed... Toru Amuro's tone of voice was a bit too intimate.

Is it because she is no longer in this world that the hostility between Bourbon and Belmod has become less?

Before she could figure it out, Toru Amuro had already hung up the phone and turned around. He looked straight at Ruri who was standing at the door of his room. He didn't look surprised at all. He smiled calmly and said, "What's wrong? You Can’t sleep?”
