Chapter 27: Year of Conan
The library in Conan's villa.

Dr. Agasa, who was standing next to the bookshelf, pushed his glasses, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself.

"In other words, because the poison you took wasn't fully developed yet, it had an unexpected side effect... causing your body to shrink."

"That's it," Conan, who had changed into his elementary school clothes, walked out of the locker room and pulled his sleeves with a helpless look on his face.

"Really? My elementary school clothes just fit me perfectly."

He complained a few words in a low voice.

Conan didn't expect that although he survived, he turned into a child.

"Okay, okay," Dr. Agasa waved his hand and said with his usual optimistic smile, "Anyway, the situation is now very clear."

"What are you going to do?"

"Doc! You're a genius inventor, right?"

Conan's eyes lit up and he made a plea to Dr. Agasa, whose inventions he had just said were all "junk metal".

"You can definitely create an antidote that will restore me to normal, right?"

"Wha...what? This is impossible."

Dr. Agasa was stunned by his sudden request. He felt that Conan might really overestimate himself, and then quickly waved his hand.

"Don't think highly of me! I don't even know the ingredients of the medicine right now, how is this possible?"

"Then it's settled!"

There was a familiar detective light in his eyes, and Conan jumped up excitedly, feeling that he had returned to his detective identity.

"Then I'll be the one to find out where those guys live and get the drugs!"

"As for the rest, I'll leave the development of the antidote to you, Doctor!"

"This is it."

Dr. Agasa touched his glasses while talking, and it seemed that the glasses were completely broken the moment Conan jumped up.

"If you actually get the drug that shrinks you."

Now it sits on Dr. Agasa's nose like a normal, ordinary pair of glasses.

No values are displayed anymore.

"But you know what?" The doctor's expression suddenly became serious, "If they knew you were still alive, Shinichi."

"If they find out you're not dead, they'll definitely come and kill you."

Dr. Agasa grabbed Conan's shoulders tightly with both hands, and suddenly beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He stared at Conan's eyes.

Then he said what now seems to be the most important and even the most crucial words.

This is one of the few sentences the league instructed him to find opportunities to add during free play.

"Let's keep this a secret between you and me. Don't tell anyone else!"

"Of course, you can't tell Xiaolan either."

"But," Conan was about to ask why when he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.

"Shinichi? Are you in there?"

The voice clearly contained some worry and complaint, "If you were at home, you should have answered the phone—" Xiaolan walked in through the open door.

Then she saw a figure in a white coat.

"Ah! It's Dr. Agasa, where's Shinichi?"

Conan hid under the desk in a panic and began to look for anything that could serve as a disguise.

Ah!
Those are Daddy's glasses!

In an open drawer at the bottom of the desk, Conan found new equipment——

Dangdangdang!

Kudo Yusaku's glasses!
The effect is similar to Superman's glasses.

It can make your childhood sweetheart unrecognizable or your boyfriend’s childhood appearance vague in your mind.

"Ah! Who is this child?"

Because he was wearing prescription glasses, the sound of Conan bumping into the table attracted Xiaolan to come over.

"Wow! What a cute child!" She immediately hugged Conan in her arms.

amount……

Conan's face turned red instantly, and an idea suddenly emerged in his mind -

It’s really nice to be smaller!

He suddenly found that becoming smaller was not something he could not accept.

After letting go of Conan, whom she couldn't help but hug because he was so cute, Xiaolan was a little confused as to why there was a child here.

"Dr. Agasa, who is this child?"

Dr. Agasa replied hesitantly, "He is - he is the child of my distant relative."

He now only hoped that Shinichi had listened to his instructions.

Don't reveal your identity so quickly! Shinichi!

Bending down, Xiaolan stared at Conan curiously.

For some reason, she suddenly liked this child very much, as if she had seen him somewhere.

"What's your name?"

After growing up, Xiaolan is so-so beautiful!

Conan couldn't help but take a step back and lean against the bookshelf.

He almost told the truth: "My name is Xin-" Xiaolan smiled and put her face closer, "Hmm?" Conan's voice was too low, "What's your name?"

"No, my name is—"

Then Conan caught a glimpse of two books on the bookshelf on the right, "The Complete Works of Edogawa Ranpo" and "Selected Works of Conan Doyle".

"Conan! My name is Edogawa Conan!"

This sentence is like an unknown signal.

In the quiet flow of time, it was like a magnificent vertical embankment, tearing apart the timelines that had just finally converged.

It was as if a corner of reality had been revealed.

Layers of possibilities emerge from the tangled threads of time.

The smooth trajectory suddenly twisted and tumbled like a struggling snake.

The words spoken by the "Absolute Time Node" dealt another heavy blow to the timeline—

This has caused some confusion within the CYZ Alliance.

To be precise, it caused great confusion.

This incident was recorded by CYZ in the alliance's top-secret archives, and it was called the "Conan First Year Incident."

It is also a very rare "top secret event" known to almost all members of the alliance.

After all, almost everyone has experienced it firsthand.

On the second, fourth to sixth and ninth floors of the headquarters' underground base.

Every corridor had red lights on and was practically filled with anxious-looking people running.

Inside the integrated command center on the second underground operations floor, dozens of communicators were guarding hundreds of telephones in front of them.

"Yes, headquarters has discovered this change. Yes, please hold on. We will quickly dispatch nearby support forces."

Lupus grabbed the collar of a communicator in front of him.

Even this young man, who was usually known for his calmness in the Reality Interference Department, couldn't help but panic when faced with the alliance's highest level five alarm that had just sounded.

Looking around, I saw that several members around me were beginning to be "covered" by the story timeline again.

He couldn't help but swear.

"F**k! Send the medical personnel from the logistics department over with the interferometer! Some of our team members can no longer hold on!"

"Wang Wu! Captain Wang! Hold on!"

It was after Lupus came into contact with the "Invisible to Pure" task force under the Silent Order while traveling that he joined the Alliance on the recommendation of Captain Wang.

"Damn it! It was fine just now!"

Lupus had no idea what was going on. After helping Captain Wang who had fallen to the ground, his pupils shrank and he immediately took out the walkie-talkie from his waist to report to the headquarters!

“TDD fails! Repeat! TDD fails!”

Of course, as an ordinary team member, it is difficult for him to get an immediate reply.

Because the command center’s telephone and communication systems have been blown up.

Ultimately, the league has only developed to this point over the course of a few months in the real timeline.

Although the Sustainable Infrastructure Department can quickly "copy" a fully functional alliance branch somewhere.

However, the production of TDD must use materials affected by the "travel effect".

Therefore, for some small country sites, there is usually an "Akasha Lock" inside the base to stabilize the timeline.

TDD is usually only allocated to site managers and some important personnel.

But now even some TDD is starting to break down.

"His CS value is too low! It's a TDD failure caused by reduced synchronization of consciousness."

A member of the medical team used an emotion field disruptor on Wang Wu who was lying on the ground.

"Right now, I can only help him stabilize himself, but his RSI value just dropped too quickly. He might suffer from amnesia or similar symptoms later..."

Several heads of operations and protection departments are now speaking to the executive level.

"We all agree that there's no need to hide it too much at this point! Considering the current RSI value fluctuations can even affect alliance members with TDD."

"We ask the Alliance to mobilize all its forces to try to save this situation!"

"Please remain calm,"

The executive level immediately rejected the action level's suggestion.

"Although the executive team disagrees with your request, I will personally report your proposal to the core team and include the executive team's analysis and opinions."

"Maybe you don't know how serious the situation is right now."

An imperceptible sigh came from the other end of the phone.

"The research team suggested that we stay in the base and hold on. There is no place safer than here now."

The fourth to sixth underground floors are all research areas.

Now these researchers, who value experimental equipment more than their own lives, are frantically reporting to the executive level.

“Almost all the equipment has failed!”

"We need to move the dimensional stability meter into a stable room with that effect!"

"This is the Alliance's first experimental machine for dimensional research! Someone come and help me move it!"

"And that space folding/compression device!"

"besides……"

The situation is already serious, but this is just the beginning.
