Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 379

"Haihara, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing Xiao Ai walking into the bedroom, Gao Yuan, who was lying on the bed, sat up, took the porridge and medicine brought by Xiao Ai, and under Xiao Ai's attention, after eating half a bowl of porridge, Gao Yuan picked up the porridge. cup potion—

Seeing this, Xiao Ai couldn't help feeling very nervous in her heart, quietly watching the cup of potion, slowly moving to the corner of Gao Yuan's mouth.

However, when Gao Yuan just took a sip of the potion, his expression became extremely ugly, as if he drank something extremely unpleasant——

"This taste..."

Just when he was about to complain, Gao Yuan looked at Xiao Ai's eyes staring at him, didn't say anything more, and swallowed the cup of potion bravely, and then he felt extremely uncomfortable from the throat, and there was a kind of overwhelming feeling in his stomach. a feeling of.

Regarding this, Gao Yuan looked at Xiao Ai suspiciously, and asked curiously:

"Huiyuan... this medicine..."

Although it is a medicine that I have never taken before, there is no reason why the granule is worse than traditional Chinese medicine!
Seeing this, Xiao Ai lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then squeezed out a sentence——

"Sorry……"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why Xiao Ai wanted to apologize to himself.

However, as the body gradually became hotter, the heart rate became faster and faster, and a severe pain that spread to the whole body almost instantly, finally made Gao Yuan aware of the problem——

This feeling!

Although the last time I had this feeling in reality, it should have been more than half a year, but at the end of the dream ten years later, I just felt this feeling——

Therefore, almost subconsciously, Gao Yuan understood what happened——

"Ash... original..."

Struggling in pain, even his voice became intermittent, Gao Yuan curled up, trembling unceasingly on the bed, beady beads of sweat kept coming out of Gao Yuan's body.

Seeing this, Xiao Ai couldn't bear it, but looking at Gao Yuan's current state, Xiao Ai was very convinced that what he was experiencing now should be the same as the pain he experienced when he took APTX4869 and became smaller——

"As expected...Gao Yuan, you really are..."

In the bottom of her heart, Xiao Ai is very convinced that her judgment should be correct - although her behavior this time will definitely make Gao Yuan angry, but she really can't help it...

Afterwards, you can treat me whatever you want!
But as the developer of APTX4869, what I plan to do is not poison at all. Therefore, for the first survivor who survived taking APTX4869, I want to know more about you anyway!
Observing the body's intense body heat, accompanied by symptoms such as dyspnea, dizziness, and rapid heartbeat, Xiao Ai suppressed the emotions in her heart and forced herself to calm down, not wanting to miss any details of the process.

Then, gradually, Gao Yuan's body began to change in pain.

However, with the change, after witnessing everything, Xiao Ai completely broke away from the emotions that she could barely keep calm at the beginning, and her eyes became extremely horrified——

Instead of thinking that Gao Yuan would restore his body to a more mature appearance with the stimulation of "white dry wine" as expected, it was the opposite—Gao Yuan's body actually shrunk!

Gao Yuan turned into a six or seven-year-old boy, and fell on the bed exhausted, and the clothes he was wearing became extremely unfit——

"How...how could it be!"

Looking at Gao Yuan, who was like herself and turned into a child in front of her at this moment, Xiao Ai looked at him in disbelief, and shouted in a daze.

But at the same time, as the horror receded, and when rationality regained the dominance, Xiao Ai's thoughts couldn't help but become extremely exciting——

"Could it be...his symptoms are completely opposite to mine and Edogawa's!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but took off her slippers, climbed onto Gao Yuan's bed, reached out and hugged Gao Yuan who was curled up on the bed because of exhaustion, and then looked at Gao Yuan's body with a gentle expression but a sad smile. face—

"So, did you subconsciously take a step back when you saw me?"

The jungle on the island, the first sight under the moonlight...

Xiao Ai recalled the scene at that time, and couldn't help thinking like this in her heart——

At that time, even if I hated the organization's real-life experiments, once I knew you were a special case, I would let the organization bring you back no matter what...

"Gray..."

When Gao Yuan woke up, he found that the face in front of him was Xiao Ai's face with a bitter smile. Then, Gao Yuan suddenly noticed that he had turned into a child at this time, and was still lying on Xiao Ai's face. on the lap--

Immediately, Gao Yuan turned his face away a little shyly:
"You... have seen it all..."

Whether he became a child, lying on Xiao Ai's lap who also looked like a child, or Xiao Ai witnessed the whole process of becoming a child, Gao Yuan felt extremely ashamed.

For a while, Gao Yuan couldn't find how to question Xiao Ai's behavior of letting him drink white dry wine by mistake.

"Sorry, I'm just...so curious..."

Lowering her head, a trace of sadness appeared on her bitter smile, Xiao Ai said so.

In this regard, upon hearing Xiao Ai's words, Gao Yuan closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then supported his weak body, moved away from Xiao Ai's lap, kept a distance from Xiao Ai, and then sat down tremblingly. up -

"This is the end of the matter, I can't hide it from you anymore Huiyuan..."

Looking at Xiao Ai, Gao Yuan thought for a moment, then couldn't help saying:
"As you can see, I did take APTX4869. But I don't know why I didn't die and kept alive..."

"lofty……"

Seeing that Gao Yuan didn't question herself immediately after waking up, Xiao Ai's eyes widened, feeling a little surprised, and then she couldn't help saying:

"I just wanted to confirm whether you had really taken APTX4869, and I was also curious that the 'baiganjiu' that Edogawa said could temporarily change him back to his original state...so I did this..."

But at this time, Gao Yuan was in a complicated mood——

Originally, I was really curious about my drug reaction, which was completely different from Conan and Xiao Ai, but since I never knew how to explain to Xiao Ai why I took APTX4869, I never mentioned it to the drug developer. this matter.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan hesitated for a while, and told Xiao Ai about the fact that he was tricked by Hattori Heiji into drinking the "baiganjiu" when he was in Osaka due to a cold. .

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have explored your secrets so hastily..."

After listening to Gao Yuan's frank explanation, Xiao Ai, who lowered her head, couldn't help but apologize sincerely, and at the same time, she was also a little depressed:

"Sorry, I won't do this again in the future. I won't ask about your past until you are willing to tell me the truth..."

"but!"

Saying that, Xiao Ai suddenly said seriously:
"About the fact that you survived taking APTX4869 and can still maintain your original appearance, absolutely no third person should know!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Ai was a little excited:
"Your current state is like the effect of APTX4869. For some reason, it is suppressed by your body... But the suppression is just suppression after all. When you catch a cold or suffer from a certain substance in 'white dry wine' After being stimulated, this inhibition of your body will be invalidated, thus allowing the medicine to temporarily display its effect..."

Saying that, Xiao Ai had a serious expression:

"But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that there is something in your body that can inhibit the effect of APTX4869! So, compared to the principle that 'baiganjiu' makes Edogawa return to its original state for a short time, why can your body work normally? The reason for suppressing the effect of the drug is more valuable for the research and development of this drug!"
