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

Chapter 19 God's Ignorance Will Help Us

"Of course, of course, Doctor, that's why we asked you here."

For Lin Sheng, after recalling and recording every detail of the "cycle" process he experienced on the plane.

All this information is sent to the Time Continuity Department of the Exploration and Research Layer, namely the TCD Research Department.

And then only one day passed.

The executive level received a report from the Time Continuity Department titled "Hypothesis on the Continuity Issues of the CYZ Alliance."

"Considering the alliance's rapid development, and after analyzing other operational reports and the complete process of the previous 'cycle', we unanimously agree..."

In fact, CYZ's development speed completely exceeded Lin Sheng's expectations.

Even though he has raised such expectations more than once.

Before the estimated end time of the "cycle" given by Lin Sheng, the alliance had grown from the initial few thousand people to -

It expanded into a structure consisting of five core layers.

It is a huge organization that commands more than a dozen departments and spans almost the entire Tokyo and even Japan, including politics, business, military, police, and science.

"I think you've overlooked the truth, and the allure of time."

This was the response given by a police officer who provided great assistance in the "invitation" operation for Dr. Agasa.

"If I wasn't in a position where I could be of greater help to the league, I would have preferred to be a member of the action group as I was in the past."

An exploration of the "other side" of possible worlds.

Even in Lin Sheng's previous life, many people would rather spend their entire lives exploring and seeking knowledge.

Be it "truth" or "faith".

This kind of motivation and drive that comes from the explorer's heart is extremely terrifying.

These explorers are born to embrace a martyr's attitude and have unwavering faith in their own hearts.

Therefore, it would be more accurate to say that they enthusiastically embraced CYZ rather than saying that Lin Sheng approached them.

Just like the Silent Order member who has now become an undercover police officer.

He is definitely a smart guy.

In just less than three days of the "story timeline", this guy discovered traces of the alliance's actions.

But when the action team came to the door——

"I want to join you! I've finally waited for you!"

This was his reaction even when he knew nothing about the organization or the alliance.

And when he learned some hints from the organization about the "cycle" and the reason and purpose of the alliance's existence.

He became a member of the alliance without hesitation.

Some members who are also in high positions have even applied to their own departments to be transferred to the operations and protection layer.

"I'd rather be a base security guard than be stuck in this cycle again!"

For those who just joined the organization "the day before" and provided a series of conveniences and assistance under the instructions of CYZ.

"Nothing scares me more than seeing the video I left of myself. Every morning I learn the truth, the closer the night gets, the more terrified and afraid I become of it."

"What if I forget all this again? What if I am forgotten by the organization? What if..."

For those who know the truth.

In the face of time, everything you have is insignificant. They would rather give up all the wealth, power or anything they have now.

I would rather be a security guard stationed at the base.

Just to be able to get the timeline change meter a day earlier.

Some radical personnel even made statements that hinted at or threatened the alliance, such as "Without TDD, I would rather die in the base."

Of course, they forgot all about it the next day and went back to work and normal activities.

Those individuals labeled as "mentally unstable targets" by the Logistics Department will no longer receive any hints or invitations from CYZ.

What they thought was resistance only resulted in the Real Intervention Department and the Logistics Department having to go through a few more inspection procedures before taking action.

And for those who may not have revealed their ulterior motives yet, this is the most effective deterrent. "Doctor," Lin Sheng showed Dr. Agasa a few photos that almost always appeared on TV channels.

"But it's like these people who have forgotten all about it."

"We're having the same continuity issues now."

For CYZ, the biggest problem it faces now is that the number of TDDs and the production speed are not fast enough.

First of all, the "time traveler effect" that Lin Sheng himself possesses has a limit to its influence.

He cannot, like Conan, affect a plane crossing the ocean even though he is far away in Beika City.

Secondly, because the metal produced by TDD needs to go through a "cycle" of the real timeline.

That is, it will take one day to verify whether it is useful.

This means that the production interval for TDD is at least one day.

The production quantity depends on the number of watches affected by the "travel effect" obtained one day later.

Yes, although CYZ tried to get Lin Sheng to carry other objects with higher metal content or even pure metal blocks for a day, the conclusion they finally came to was -

"Although the specific reason is unclear at this time, it must be a watch with symbolic significance of time, and it must be a watch used by the 'Core' himself."

"We are currently conducting research on the physical, mystical, and symbolic implications of the act of 'using.'"

The logistics and support level equipment development department and equipment manufacturing and research and design department finally came to the conclusion that:
"In short, until there are further theoretical and research breakthroughs at the research level, our current TDD output is only ■■■ blocks per day."

But just like the pasta that Lin Sheng ate on the plane.

Only things that have been affected by the Time Traveler Effect will remain in both timelines after the "loop" ends.

Therefore, if only TDD devices are relied upon.

Even if this "cycle" time reaches more than two months, even if it is calculated as 90 days.

Except for the executive and action levels and some necessary researchers, it is almost impossible for CYZ to fix everyone in the alliance on the "story timeline" before the end of this "cycle".

unless……

Unless we find a new way and get some extra help.

"So, this is why you need me? No, no, no..."

Dr. Agasa waved his hands repeatedly and pushed up his glasses that had slid down to the tip of his nose due to sweat.

"But I don't know anything about it! I really can't build any of the timeline devices you mentioned!"

He raised his voice a little and his hand movements became more exaggerated, trying to push the responsibility away by waving his hands.

"If you ask me, have you got the wrong person?"

Dr. Agasa forced out a dry laugh, a few drops of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

How did I suddenly get involved in such a terrible thing related to the timeline?
"Of course, Doctor. I'm very confident that we made the right choice."

Lin Sheng interrupted his suddenly uncontrolled chatter, "Calm down, you're not an ordinary person."

"Of course I'm not an ordinary person!"

Dr. Agasa reflexively puffed out his chest, his tone sounding somewhat righteous.

"I'm Dr. Agasa! But—"

But then he thought of what he was about to face and immediately retracted his shoulders.

"That doesn't mean I'll create something beyond common sense like you said! And according to what you just said, there's not enough time for me to conduct research now."

"Yes,"

Lin Sheng smiled at the "Wallfacer".

It was a probing, mysterious smile that would one day be hailed as as famous as the Cheshire Cat's or the Mona Lisa's.

"But we can do all this without any research, inventions or devices."

Lin Sheng paused.

"God's ignorance will help us."
