Kento Nara has been thinking that according to the development of the plot, the protagonist Kitajima Manatsu will definitely go crazy later.
This is based on realistic logic. Mr. Kojiji did not arrange for a psychiatrist to provide counseling for the protagonist. Therefore, if the protagonist Kitajima Manatsu does not go crazy later, it will be a real violation, and the entire book will collapse by then. Lost.
Although it collapsed, judging from the entire book alone, the quality is still acceptable. But a book that has lost a good reputation will not be popular even if it is beneficial to others.
But...at this moment of 'fifty years later', Kento Nara knew that this was Kotondera-sensei's trump card.
There are so many things that time can change, and the easiest things to change are thoughts and personality issues.
In this life, young children have the thoughts of young children, teenagers have the thoughts of teenagers, young people have the thoughts of youth, middle-aged people have the thoughts of middle age...
Each stage looks at life differently.
So how will the protagonist Manatsu Kitajima change? Come to think of it, the distortion of his character has been corrected.
Kento Nara thought and continued to read.
Fifty years later, two old men, Flame and Kitajima Manatsu, have become friends.
For fifty years, Kitajima Manatsu has been well taken care of. Although her daily activities are limited, her life is very nourishing. The absence of police officers chasing him all day relieved his tense mood. Gone were the days when he was on tenterhooks, as if he would die as soon as he opened his eyes. Gradually, his twisted character and anti-human thoughts gradually faded away.
And this is also due to Flame. He hired many psychologists to provide psychological counseling to Kitajima Manatsu.
Chiba Shiori later used more than a thousand words to describe Kitajima Manatsu’s old life fifty years later.
Although he was supervised every day, the peaceful and quiet life made Kento Nara feel like crying with joy. The protagonist finally no longer has to flee. This peaceful life is so hard-won.
As for why Flame was able to supervise Kitajima Manatsu for fifty years, it was because Flame intuitively felt that Kitajima Manatsu had a big secret.
At this moment, Kento Nara also knew why Mr. Kotondera set Flame to be a famous detective who relies on intuition to solve crimes.
After all, who would personally guard a prisoner for fifty years based on their own intuition? Flame is the kind of person who trusts his instincts and is stubborn.
Flame was able to become friends with Kitajima Manatsu because after Flame brought Kitajima Manatsu to the United States, he went back to investigate the information about Kitajima Manatsu's escape. He was surprised to find that the people Kitajima Manatsu killed when he was on the run were all serious criminals.
A hunted prisoner can also punish rape and eliminate evil in the process of being hunted. In his opinion, Kitajima Manatsu definitely has a big secret. This is also the reason why Flame became friends with Kitajima Manatsu. He felt that the other party had difficulties.
But Kitajima Manatsu never said anything, which made him helpless.
And as a world-famous detective, Flame cannot stay with Kitajima Manatsu all the time.
And Kitajima Manatsu has been living in a closed manor for the past fifty years... Of course, although it is closed, she can still watch TV and play on the computer. At first, Kitajima Manatsu thought about committing suicide, but finally gave up the idea. If you have not experienced the ups and downs of fleeing, you will not be able to appreciate the value of this peaceful life.
But even so, Kitajima Manatsu still has one thing in his heart, and this thing is his obsession. That is to find out the real culprit who framed him in the first place. In the past fifty years, he has been somewhat familiar from newspapers and news. When he was in the hospital for treatment, he was arrested by a group of anti-terrorism police officers, then tortured in the police station, and then taken to the wilderness and shot... Now that I think about it, everything Unreasonable.
Thirty years ago, the first Asian appeared in Japan.
What is a demi-human? The bodies of demihumans are different from those of normal humans, and they can be resurrected immediately even after death. However, there is a limit to the number of times this resurrection can occur. The weakest demihuman truly dies after being resurrected three times and can never stand up again. The strongest demi-human is a Japanese and the first demi-human in history, named Nakahara Kazuma. This demi-human has died more than thirty times and has not really died yet. He can be called the strongest demi-human. people.
And this Asian... died for the first time twenty years ago, and the place of death was on the side of the road in Hanoi Square.
And this square in Hanoi is very close to his home and the hospital where he goes to see a migraine patient. At the beginning, Kitajima Manatsu was arrested for releasing poison gas in Hanoi Square.
So he had to read the file...he was going to find out the secrets of Hanoi Square.
But if he wants to read the file, he must commit suicide. To be honest, as he gets older, Kitajima Manatsu becomes more and more frightened. He is afraid that he will die of old age and cannot read files. So he must commit suicide. But he is now under supervision and cannot die, so only if Flame dies will he have the chance to commit suicide.
Seeing this, Kento Nara was very excited, because the real culprit behind the scenes finally began to emerge. After reading so many novels, Kento Nara knew that this demi-human was probably a humanoid race that had been studied... and in the fifty years An accident occurred during the previous research, causing the death of many ordinary people in Hanoi Square. The official arrested Kitajima Manatsu just to find a scapegoat.
After all, Kitajima Manatsu's parents died and he was alone, so he was the best scapegoat.
However, seeing the description that the protagonist can only read the file if Flame is dead, he thought Kitajima Manatsu was going to kill Flame.
But the following description made him relieved. It turned out that he wanted to wait until Flame died of old age before committing suicide.
As a famous detective, Flame spends his life either chasing the murderer or on the way to catch the murderer. As a famous detective, he naturally has many enemies, so Flame's body has actually suffered a lot of hidden injuries. Now in his seventies, Flame has run out of energy, and his body is getting worse day by day. Kitajima Manatsu was raised in the manor. In order to prevent her death, Flame naturally raised Kitajima Manatsu until she was fat and healthy.
So as long as nothing happens, Flame will definitely die before Kitajima Manatsu.
The plot that follows is a matter of course.
As time passed, Flame gradually felt that the end was approaching. He finally stopped chasing fugitives. Instead, he accompanied Kitajima Manatsu at the manor every day, bragging about his great achievements all day long. Flame did not pursue Kitajima Manatsu's secrets. I know the other person won’t tell.
These last moments made Kento Nara tearful.
When Flame was lying on the hospital bed, struggling to open his eyes, he took Kitajima Manatsu's hand and said with difficulty, "I have hunted down so many fugitives in my life, and you are the first one to give me a headache. The person who made me hunt down so hard. I have always wanted to know your secret. At this last moment, can you tell me?" Flame's face covered with age spots looked at Bei Dao expectantly. Manatsu.
After a long silence, Kitajima Manatsu bent down with difficulty. He lowered his head and whispered something very softly in Flame's ear.
Hearing this, Flame's eyes opened, filled with disbelief. He held Kitajima Manatsu's hand and said with a smile, "So...that's how it is..."
It's not that he's not powerful, it's that Kitajima Manatsu uses the ability to read files to deal with him. Otherwise, how could Kitajima Manatsu have teased him for so long
Thinking about it, Flame closed his eyes with a satisfied smile.
Kitajima Manatsu also smiled as he looked at the calendar on the wall.
August 24, 2072.
He lowered his head and looked at the dead Flame, and murmured softly, "See you in 2019." After saying that, he took out a scalpel and stabbed directly into his heart.
When Kento Nara saw this, he turned over it again and found it was gone.
He stared...
Mr. Kotondera, you piece of shit!
