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

Chapter 187 The Loser Eats Dust! (Two in one, please give me a monthly ticket!)
Dr. Agasa reached out and shook hands with Shinichi.

Then he thanked the researcher in front of him for everything he had done for Senna and said softly, "That's good... It's good to be free of pain..."

Thinking of what had just happened, Shinichi Mizuno's eyes dimmed a little.

"After all, the final closed-loop timeline only requires the death of Senna's team..."

He had just tried to save Senna after everything was over, but he still couldn't do anything.

Shinichi Mizuno knew clearly in his heart that the figure was actually just a shadow attached to the "cycle", an afterimage of the history of the three days that did not exist.

The air seemed to stagnate for a moment, and both of them were silent. Only the faint hum of the circulation device echoed in the basement.

Finally, it was Shinichi who broke the silence, "Anyway, we won't let her go as painfully as she did at the beginning."

"Ah."

Dr. Agasa nodded, and everyone tacitly agreed not to continue with this somewhat heavy topic.

Dr. Agasa turned his gaze away from the operating table and looked at Shinichi Mizuno, "So what's the situation now?"

Mizuno Shin paused and hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering how to organize his next words.

"Not very optimistic."

Then he decided to talk about the part where the alliance had made progress first.

"But there is good news. We have now figured out the name of the third pointer."

Thinking of this, Shinichi Mizuno shook his head with a wry smile, his tone revealing a bit of fatigue, and he made a joke with a slightly helpless expression.

"Dr. Agasa, you don't know that the decoding box you designed before caused us a lot of trouble."

As for cracking the name of the third pointer, the alliance did not take this task too seriously at the beginning.

But they soon discovered that the difficulty of cracking the name of the third pointer was far more than hundreds of times as Dr. Agasa said.

Especially for the research director who had been keeping an eye on the decoding laboratory in the [Loop] for many years, this was simply a long torture.

"After all, what we have to do is to find out the name of the pointer before Conan deduces it, which is really difficult."

The Alliance cracked the third pointer at noon "today". After Conan handed the second pointer to Dr. Agasa, the Alliance, which had obtained the information of "Eyes of Clearness", immediately began to decipher it.

As Dr. Agasa completed the atomic-level scan at that time, the structural components of the amber pointer were uploaded to the Alliance [Cycle] database as soon as possible.

"The data has been uploaded! Immediately have the Reality Analysis Department's Decoding Laboratory use computers for simulation analysis!"

As everyone thought first, this was first handed over to the Decoding Laboratory of the Reality Analysis Department.

And everyone thought it would be a simple matter at first.

After all, as long as Dr. Agasa uploads the scan results of the second pointer and the Alliance has the original data of the watch, then all that’s left to do is simulate it, right?

Then, as the laboratory computer began to simulate, the dense streams of data on the terminal screen immediately began to scroll frantically.

The amount of calculation exceeds the upper limit...
Calculation terminated!

After adding a computer group, the Reality Analysis Department even finally applied to the Timing Department for a closed time-class curve computer for support, and conducted several experiments with the Timing Department.

As the time stabilization warehouse and the simulation system were connected together, the research level attempted to directly obtain results by simulating a "non-existent timeline".

And the result is——

Faced with red warning pop-ups popping up all over the screen, warnings from the timing protection system, and obstruction from members of the Ethics Committee who rushed in to stop the experiment from continuing, the person in charge of the experiment had to admit that this "cheating method" would not work.

After all, how could the name of the third pointer appear before Conan deduced it?

This process must be witnessed by Kudo Shinichi's "reasoning".

"[Kudo Shinichi]'s influence is universe-wide."

Looking at the error message of the stable warehouse, the research director had to admit that simply relying on the characteristics of [cycle] to avoid the influence of [Kudo Shinichi] would not work.

"Furthermore, because the timing stabilization chamber itself uses time crystals and the special nature of the pointer, the simulation is naturally related to [Kudo Shinichi]. We can't get the answer before he deciphers the third pointer!"

Finally, someone suggested: "Let's let the Magical Research Department give it a try!"

The proposal was then rejected.

"—Magic isn't everything."

After the executive level's database received a request for support from the research level, Hitomi Shigenobu rejected the research level's request without hesitation.

"This isn't just a name. To get the answer, I need to use enhanced red magic to peer into the future, which means..."

This means that His Excellency ZC-01 must take action, and His Excellency ZC-01 must directly fight against the influence of the pale sun.

Not to mention that Lin Sheng is currently supporting the alliance's [cycle] while trying to use his remaining strength to ensure the success of this "backtracking".

"The dual timeline is constantly monitoring ZC-01's actions. If ZC-01 were to take action, our cover-up would be useless. The dual timeline would immediately discover we are attempting a time travel reversal."

"Also, the most crucial thing in this retrospective is to make the 'augmented reality plan' succeed. Compared to that, the pointer name doesn't take too high a priority. After all, we already know the specific location where the third case occurred."

After the proposal to use magic to skip the process was rejected by the executive level, the various departments at the research level were forced to hold a meeting.

After briefly reviewing the failed experiments, the head of the Narrative Studies Department came up with an idea:
"Since both magical intervention and conventional analysis methods are unsuccessful, could it be that these methods are too fast? We need to try it based on scientific logic."

"Let the Department of Scientific Logic and the Conan Psychological Analysis Institute come up with a charter first, and then see if there's any solution in the historical records related to Conan and the pointer."

Finally, after the research team repeatedly studied the records of Conan cracking the second pointer, a very scientific research method gradually took shape.

"Since 'He' doesn't recognize other deduction methods, and Kudo Shinichi's interference effect prevents us from using ordinary methods, then—"

"Then let's use the method that Conan himself has tried."

What the execution layer finally gets is a very extreme and time-consuming solution.

The research layer applies to use the CYZ effect in the outer layer of the [cycle] to construct an experimental space with an RSI value lower than 50.

"We need an anomalous space with almost no concept of time and a loose or even nonexistent causal chain to minimize variables. Inside this space, we need to use time crystals to maintain a pure scientific logic area, a scientific logic area free of any subjective or subconscious influence from [Kudo Shinichi]."

What happens next is simple.

"Based on the principle of the decoding box you designed, we've designed a decoding device with an additional dimension. We've also had our task force members, wearing TDDs to maintain their own timelines, manually create a replica model within it and conduct corresponding experiments."

“That’s really…”

An environment with an RSI value below 50 makes operations difficult to an unimaginable level.

An indescribable expression appeared on his face. Mizuno Shinichi sighed and did not continue to dwell on this issue. He raised his hand and used TDD to project the three sets of data obtained by the alliance into the air. He continued:
"In short, we finally got three possible results. The names of the third pointer are: Shadow of the Full Moon, Heart of Moonlight, and Heart of Moon Shadow."

Recalling how the Alliance obtained the first pointer, the names of the three projected pointers made Dr. Agasa's heart sink, and he frowned slightly.

"Another three choices?"

Mizuno Shin nodded, then shook his head with a complicated expression.

"The research team isn't sure, and considering the subjective interference caused by Kudo Shinichi's subconscious in his pursuit of the truth, we really don't have any clues this time."

"The historical retrieval department of the Chronology Department has reviewed the history of Moon Shadow Island three or four times. The time display has traced back to the history of the first appearance of humans on Moon Shadow Island, but still no signs related to the pointer have been found." Mizuno Shinichi's words made Dr. Agasa frown even tighter, especially when Conan just got the second pointer, a bad premonition suddenly emerged in his heart.

"What does this mean? Is it likely that the final result will be the same as the second pointer? Will it appear suddenly like the Eye of Clarity?"

The doctor's voice dropped. "Let Conan decide what the third pointer is?"

Professor Agasa has read the relevant information about the Tsukikage Island case. If we speculate based on the situation of the second pointer...

Thinking of this, Dr. Agasa's heart sank.

Mizuno Shinichi was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "You can understand it that way, but it's much more complicated than the second time."

"This is related to the Narrative Studies Department's previous analysis of the prophecy machine. After all, it now appears that the war actually refers to—"

Then he met Dr. Agasa's somewhat puzzled gaze, and smiled apologetically.

"Oh, I forgot you didn't know this yet. We still have about ten minutes left. You'll remember it at the end."

"However, you should have remembered the contents of the 'Time Reversal Project' by now, right?"

Shinichi Mizuno's words triggered Dr. Agasa's memory. As if it were some kind of hint, Dr. Agasa now remembered the explanation he would get from Shinichi Mizuno later.

"call--"

Rubbing his slightly swollen brain, Dr. Agasa looked at Shinichi Mizuno who applauded himself lightly for regaining his memory, and then he frowned.

"This time it's about half a minute earlier than last time."

Seeing that Dr. Agasa had regained his composure, Shinichi Mizuno's expression became serious.

"Yes, from what I've seen so far, it could be a structural issue with the [loop], or some kind of entanglement effect caused by time travel."

"Anyway, we've confirmed this time that the word you can hint to Conan is the word 'moon'."

Dr. Agasa nodded, indicating that he understood. "Do you still need me to delay like last time?"

"Yes, I need you to buy me some time so I can use the gift you made for Conan."

"In the last three retrospectives, this skateboard hasn't been improved at all. Researchers believe this is the current limit of Professor Agasa's character."

This is definitely the culmination of Dr. Agasa's work using both scientific logic and alliance technology.

It is a skateboard, but it has three-stage propulsion and amphibious functions on land, water and air. It has an autonomous oxygen production function, can be charged or accelerated by solar energy, can be folded or expanded into a glider, or spliced into a bulletproof shield. The four wheels can be transformed into a small drone, and it also has automatic tracking and certain defense functions.

Dr. Agasa took the packaged skateboard, and as if a switch was turned on, more memories emerged in his mind.

He now knew that it was probably time for Conan and Xiaolan to leave the office to buy groceries. Like last time, he nodded at Mizuno Shin.

"Delaying time... I understand."

"Yes, at the same time, we should continue to give Conan some confidence. The Narrative Department especially emphasizes this matter."

"Any positive impact on His subconscious mind is beneficial to the Alliance. After all, He is beyond timeline."

The alliance's [circulation], executive level meeting hall.

As the timeline stopped retracing and began to flow normally, looking at the data displayed on the screen, Shigenobu Hitomi rubbed her brows, her tone a little tired.

"The disruption caused by the current plan is still insufficient."

According to the time display images sent by the Time Research Department, there have been no unusual movements in the United Nations General Assembly over the past day. Even the GSSRA Council is still discussing how to make their whereabouts more covert.

Shigenobu Hitomi sighed, "The [Real Timeline] has chosen to keep the GSSRA in a secret state."

"We're going to try again."

There was a depressing silence in the air.

She glanced at the members present, paused, and continued:

"It seems that without revealing the existence of the timeline, the information provided by the 'Science Frontiers' organization alone is not enough to convince the leadership of the Great Power to agree to the establishment of the GSSRA at a future UN General Assembly."

"I understand the desire to avoid disrupting the [story timeline], but it turns out that relying solely on 'scientific boundaries' won't achieve the desired effect."

"Then, following the Timeline Reconstruction Bureau's proposal, the executive team will begin voting on whether to approve the proposal to add extraterrestrial information background to the Black Organization."

"Now—voting begins."

A dull sigh sounded in the conference room.

A moment later, several halos lit up on the voting system representing the alliance's highest decision-making power.

"agree."

"Seconded……"

"Seconded……"

……

After recording and uploading the fact that he had somehow learned about the future in advance, Dr. Agasa turned to look at Shinichi Mizuno who was standing beside him.

Shinichi Mizuno's eyes were always fixed on the movements of the [Circular Gate].

"You feel……"

Dr. Agasa paused, then asked the same question he had asked last time, "Will he be the one coming this time?"

The time has come to the last minute.

At the intersection where this [cycle] is about to end, the faint blue light above the [Cycle Gate] has begun to turn golden.

Now that Dr. Agasa had remembered everything completely, his hands nervously gripped the edge of the console.

"I hope it's not him, otherwise..."

Before Shinichi Mizuno finished his words, he saw a familiar figure walking out from the other side of the [Circular Gate].

"Director Shinichi! Councillor Agasa!"

Dr. Agasa and Shinichi Mizuno looked at each other helplessly.

Well - it all has to start over again.

As the time tracer connected to the loop generator in [Loop] was added with enough APTX-4869.

Using the time nodes saved on the TDD left by Senna, Lin Sheng raised his hand with [Loop] in the void and hooked his fingers, and then a silent wave spread out.

By fabricating a clever imitation of the "three days of non-existence" in the dual timeline, under the cover of ZC-01, the Alliance once again denied a future they did not want.

——The time went back to the negative 0.5 day.
