The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 114 The Disappearing Magic

For Koizumi Akako, perhaps even she herself doesn't know what kind of feelings she has towards Kidd.

When she used the magic crystal ball for divination for the first time, Kidd's white figure emerged from it, and the crystal ball predicted that she would "shed tears of blood for the destined person."

And then, as expected, Hongzi, who tried to conquer her destiny, used the magic of "Love Chocolate" to control all the boys in the school -

Especially trying to make Kuroba Kaito fall in love with him.

The result is just like what happened in Magic Kaito.

During the battle between the witch and the magician, Kaito was immune to magic because he was wearing the amulet left by his father.

What should happen next is a showdown between a pair of bickering lovers, a witch's resistance to the pursuit of her destined lover.

This is how the drama should have developed.

The entanglement between this witch and the thief should have become a [story timeline] to fill the potentially boring "detective game" in the future with some colorful microcosm.

It is even sometimes used to provide some assistance to the detective.

Until the emergence of the alliance, until Hongzi's daily divination produced an unexpected result.

"Crystal ball! Crystal ball! Tell me how to tame Kidd with magic!"

Just as Hongzi was waiting for the familiar words, "You can conquer all the men in the world, except that one..." to appear.

The light spots in the crystal ball began to change slowly, and the result was different.

As the light dots intersected in the air, they finally formed a sentence:

"do nothing."

"Do nothing...?"

For Hongzi, this news should have been a surprise, but for some reason, her heart sank. Looking at the words floating in the air, Hongzi's eyes changed from initial expectation to confusion.

Finally, a look of dissatisfaction emerged.

Staring at the gradually dimming crystal ball, Koizumi Hongzi seemed unable to believe that this was the answer she had been waiting for.

This divination result made Koizumi Hongzi feel a little overwhelmed by her long-standing persistence.

Then the witch who tried to conquer what fate told her was "impossible to conquer Kidd" became angry at such a ridiculous answer.

This was like a mockery of all the resistance he had done before.

It was as if fate suddenly told her that it pitied her and would fulfill her wish as long as she did nothing.

The corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously, and Hongzi's voice trembled with anger as she asked back:

"Do nothing?! Didn't the previous prophecy say that I couldn't conquer Kidd? And now..."

The witch threw the crystal ball in front of her to the ground. As the fragments of the crystal ball scattered, the words floating in the air gradually disappeared.

Hongzi never thought that she would get such a result.

"It shouldn't be like this... unless, unless..."

The anger turned into anxiety, and then, it seemed as if a sudden chill came over my heart.

"Unless my fate has been changed by something!"

A trace of fear flashed in her eyes. Hongzi had always thought that one day she would conquer her fate, conquer Kuroba Kaito, but not in this way.

This means that you have been targeted.

She murmured, "Who can change the fate of a witch?"

This underlying foreboding made her immediately try divination again.

"Maybe it's just that the divination was wrong this time, isn't it?"

Thinking of this, she finally calmed down from her anger and fear and tried to give orders to the housekeeper standing in the porch outside the room.

"Bring me another crystal ball."

However, this time, she received no response.

There was silence all around, a silence that seemed to freeze the air in the room.

"Butler?" Hongzi's heart suddenly shook, and her voice trembled a little, but all she saw was an empty house.

That day, all members of the Koizumi family disappeared except Hongzi herself.

This is of course a masterpiece of [Story Timeline]——

Magic, the least important thing and the thing that should never appear in the detective world.

This is true for both a "detective story" and a true reality. Magic was affected during the Alliance's first subtle confrontation with the dual timelines.

Just like Lin Sheng tried to send people to find Koizumi Hongzi or Kidd, the dual timeline tried the easiest way to prevent the alliance from touching any data or information related to magic.

The day after the "Idol Secret Room Murder Case" ended.

On that day, there was a moment when Xiaolan was talking to Conan, who was using a voice changer to disguise Shinichi's voice.

"Shinichi, if only there were some kind of magic that would make you appear in front of me instantly..."

"Idiot, how can magic exist? Xiaolan, you might as well pray that I can finish this case quickly..."

Maybe there really was such a thing as magic in the Conan universe before, or maybe there wasn't -

But anyway, after Kudo Shinichi blurted out, "How could magic exist?"

With Conan's firm belief that magic does not exist, the two timelines rarely cooperated actively at that moment.

All the magic in the world is gone.

Except for Koizumi Akako who was given "exceptional pardon".

Well, actually dual timelines can't do this.

The Alliance's research on this point is much more in-depth.

For the alliance at that time.

Because the technology level is not advanced enough, it is also targeted by the dual timelines, and it is also facing magic that is different from what the Alliance has always faced.

It can only be said that it was thanks to the fact that the struggle between the Alliance and the dual timelines had not yet intensified to the current level, and the dual timelines' unfriendly attitude towards magic.

Although the alliance's action was ultimately unsuccessful, the alliance, having obtained some information and results, ultimately chose a low-intensity "confrontational" action.

Just like the research on the abnormalities displayed by Koizumi Akako during the alliance operation—

The research level's realistic analysis believes that Koizumi Akako is very likely the source of an abnormal effect similar to that of Kudo Shinichi.

"She was the first person within the [Loop] to recognize the Alliance's presence and react to it."

"In fact, Koizumi Hongzi is very likely the only one of the two anomalous effects discovered so far. After all, as Hongzi predicted when the Alliance sent people to her school to look for her, she chose to disappear on her own initiative—"

Although Koizumi Akako is not truly aware of the existence of the [Loop], through her own divination, she can discover that there is an organization that is looking for her and can also "predict" her next whereabouts from time to time.

And her somewhat troublesome magic.

This undoubtedly brought great resistance to the alliance's "invitation" behavior.

Even at the beginning, in some alliance actions, the alliance would be beaten back by her and escape.

But it wasn't until Conan heard the name "Scientific Frontier" from Dr. Agasa.

Everything is different.

The disguised alliance can use more "technical levels" without being targeted by the [story timeline].

After discovering Koizumi Akako's disappearance, some people in the operational department immediately came up with another plan -

They chose to attack Kuroba Kaito.

Kidd's weight is obviously different from Hongzi's, or even very different.

The dual timeline gave Kidd a great boost, but it's a pity that——

Considering the alliance's hidden wealth and power, no matter how precious the gem is, it is just a few words or the result of a bank account number jumping.

Kidd chases the gems, it's some kind of iron rule.

Moreover, he never hurts anyone, and even returns the gems he steals.

Plus the plan that the entire executive team took a day to come up with, and the continuous improvement of the alliance's technical level.

Koizumi Akako, the disappeared witch had to appear again.

Even if the Alliance cannot catch Kidd, any information leakage that may lead to Kidd's tendency to cooperate is extremely dangerous for the dual timeline.

There cannot be a second "Dr. Agasa".

All in all, the commotion was quite big.

To the extent that the alliance at that time had to take the initiative to help the dual timeline to cover up and conclude the matter.

——This also led to Koizumi Akako and Kuroba Kaito disappearing together.
