Chapter 510 The Two Madmen
Chapter 510 The Two Madmen
"..."
Qi Ming had not expected that Shinichi Kudo would speak to him like that.
and so……
Was Shinichi Kudo actually switched with someone else when the fog rolled in earlier?!
However, Qi Ming quickly dismissed the thought.
This must be the result of that abnormal state, right?
"Detective, are you feeling unwell? Would you like some water?"
"Or is it like the poison gas in the previous level, that you had some strange feeling in your heart?"
Shinichi Kudo was taken aback when he heard Qi Ming's words.
Was my mind affected by that burst of gas?
No, it's impossible.
Those were his heartfelt words, exactly what he wanted to say!
Forget about the impact, he actually feels exceptionally high right now!
Shinichi Kudo looked at Qi Ming with undisguised disgust on his face.
"You're just putting on an act of concern. Is that how you make Xiaolan think you're a good person?"
"Care about her, become her friend. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. She's my childhood friend, and I hope you understand that!"
"..."
Qi Ming looked at Shinichi Kudo with a blank expression.
What is this child saying?
Why are you suddenly jealous of me?
Could this be the effect of that unknown abnormal state, which inexplicably puts people into a state of madness?
"Why aren't you saying anything? Did I hit the nail on the head?"
"Ha, I feel disgusted just standing next to you and talking to you."
Seeing that Qi Ming did not reply, Shinichi Kudo snorted and turned to walk towards the weapon platform.
But it was at this moment that Qi Ming pressed down on Shinichi Kudo's shoulder.
"Wait a minute, turn your head around."
"Ok?"
Shinichi Kudo turned his head with a furrowed brow, and just as he gave a questioning reply, he was met with a powerful attack.
Snapped!
"Ugh!"
Shinichi Kudo cried out in pain, glaring intently at Qi Ming.
"You, you hit me? How dare you hit me?"
"Why are you talking so rudely? Shouldn't I hit you?"
"……snort."
Shinichi Kudo stopped talking, touched his face, turned around, and sat down in a corner of the room.
His eyes were gloomy, and he kept grinding his teeth.
If it weren't for his reason telling him not to attack Qi Ming, he would have already punched Qi Ming.
"This abnormal state is a bit strange, but I haven't changed at all?"
Qi Ming scratched his head.
Could it be that I have some kind of item that automatically blocks this abnormal status?
Just as Qi Ming was about to check his status bar, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Qi Ming".
It's Vermouth's voice.
After firing a few bullets and practicing her marksmanship for a while, the woman started wandering around the shooting range on her own.
Now, Vermouth no longer spins around but rests against the wall.
"what?"
Qi Ming looked at Vermouth and asked.
He didn't go over, but just stood there observing Vermouth's expression.
Vermouth had a smile on her face and seemed relatively normal at first glance, unlike Shinichi Kudo who had seemed so erratic just now.
Vermouth beckoned to Qi Ming with her finger, the corners of her mouth curving upwards again, her expression strangely tinged with bitterness.
"Can't I just chat with you if there's nothing wrong? Can you come over for a bit?"
It's pretty much confirmed that Qi Ming is involved.
This woman has also been diagnosed; something is definitely wrong with her!
"What kind of demon are you going to create this time?"
Come here.
Vermouth's voice, which was originally that of a mature and sophisticated woman, seemed to have a touch more coquettishness when she said this.
Upon hearing Vermouth's voice, Qi Ming couldn't help but get goosebumps.
There's definitely a conspiracy.
Therefore, he had to get closer to see what kind of conspiracy was going on!
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Qi Ming approach, Vermouth paused for a moment and said with some emotion.
"Now I remember, when we were passing through Hell, I think I saw you talking to that little princess, didn't I?"
"Little princess?"
Qi Ming was taken aback.
Shinichi Kudo's madness was at least all in plain language.
Vermouth, on the other hand, put it quite artistically.
"What did it do to you that I called her?"
Upon hearing Qi Ming's reply, Vermouth glanced back at him.
An unnamed flame of jealousy was slowly rising in her heart.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little relieved."
Vermouth sighed softly.
She turned her head and gently touched Qi Ming's face with her hand.
There was no contact; there was a distance of several centimeters between us.
Withdrawing her hand, Vermouth moved a little closer to Qi Ming.
Just like Shinichi Kudo, she leaned close to Qi Ming's ear and whispered something.
"Speaking of which, I've always wondered, would you rather protect that cold-blooded traitor than give me a second glance? Is it because my charm has faded to this extent?"
"Or is it simply because I'm the old woman you're talking about?"
"..."
Despite smelling the perfume on Vermouth, Qi Ming remained unmoved by her words.
He simply felt that...
Good heavens, another one has gone mad.
Shinichi Kudo felt that he had a good relationship with Ran Mouri, which is why he was jealous and acted crazy.
You, Vermouth, are quite something. You only got jealous and went crazy because I stood close to Shiho Miyano.
"...Beibei, can you be serious for once? I don't even know you that well."
Qi Ming suddenly felt a strange sensation.
The things a person says in this state of frenzy must be, to some extent, what they really think, right?
And Vermouth actually said these things to him...
Masaka?!
Qi Ming looked at Vermouth in disbelief and said in surprise.
"Could it be that you actually like me!?"
"like……"
Unexpectedly, Qi Ming asked that question, and Vermouth's mind suddenly went blank. The jealousy in her heart began to be suppressed by reason.
Do you like Qi Ming?
What a joke!
Even if there were only one man left in the world, I wouldn't choose such an utterly despicable person, okay?!
Then why did I say those things just now?
Vermouth's expression suddenly turned confused; something seemed to be wrong with her.
However, she quickly came up with a reason.
That is, she couldn't stand seeing Shiho Miyano living such a good life.
That's right.
Why is it that woman was able to hook up with Qi Ming and escape the darkness without doing anything, while I've been alone all along?!
Why did Qi Ming help her instead of me?
Jealousy reignited, and Vermouth lost her rationality once again.
"No, I don't like you. I mean, we're very close... Do you remember when you became my apprentice?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Qi Ming's expression immediately darkened.
He would find it difficult to handle if Vermouth said she liked him.
But if you say you don't like yourself, it puts him in an even more difficult position.
How could you say you don't like someone as outstanding as me so easily?
They didn't even have time to think before they blurted it out?!
No longer giving Vermouth a friendly look, Qi Ming turned his head and spat on the ground before heading towards his firing position.
