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

Chapter 39 A Difficult Choice
"Dr. Agasa, the executive level is looking for you!" Under everyone's attention, a civilian staff member ran into the laboratory to announce.

Dr. Agasa, who was in the laboratory, trying to follow the instructions of the executive level and add some ingredients to the magical detective tools prepared for Conan, raised his head.

"Oh, oh, oh! Okay!" He agreed with a smile and began to think about how to use this meeting with the executive team to obtain more research funds for himself. "I'll be right there!"

He walked towards the door.

"Come on, Doctor!" The assistants in the lab were as excited as children. They and the doctor were thinking the same thing. "Remember to ask the executive team for some funding. Don't let them delay it! It would be best if we could get a special approval..."

They have already begun to imagine the beautiful picture of an endless supply of experimental samples.

Looking at this group of lively children, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but smile, and felt a little proud in his heart.

In the alliance, Dr. Agasa really regained the feeling of having his inventions and creations recognized. More importantly, as long as he submitted an application, the alliance would basically approve it.

After all, although subsequent experiments confirmed that the scope of application of the doctor's abilities was indeed limited, what if there were some new discoveries?
"Wait for my good news!"

After waving to his colleagues, Dr. Agasa turned and walked out of the laboratory. The light from outside reflected on his white-haired back, as if illuminating his full hope.

Then the door behind him slowly closed.

He thought that perhaps the door's soundproofing was too good, because when he came out, he saw two researchers arguing loudly in the corridor while walking.

"The data shows that the stabilization chamber is still unstable. For our planned experiment, the Ethics and Regulatory Committee requires us to provide a safety measure!"

The voice was filled with anger, and even though he knew the Ethics and Regulatory Committee was right, he couldn't help but complain.

"What does the potential disruption to the timeline have to do with ethical oversight? It sounds like every experiment within the Alliance isn't based on this kind of risk!"

"Actually, I also feel that my experiment is too dangerous," another voice seemed a little hesitant. "After all, that's the only sample we have right now. How about we postpone it for now—"

The doctor couldn't help but listen with fascination.

When he turned a corner, a hurried researcher rushed over from the corner with a stack of documents in her hand.

The two men bumped into each other almost at the same time, and the documents scattered all over the floor.

"Ah! I'm sorry, Doctor!"

Looking at the badge of "Research Director" hanging on Dr. Agasa's chest, the researcher quickly lowered his head, his face full of guilt.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll help you pick it up."

As Dr. Agasa spoke, he bent down and reached out to pick up the scattered documents.

"No, no, Doctor, please go ahead and do your work!" The researcher waved her hands hastily, stopping the doctor. "Really! Doctor, this information is confidential!"

The researcher squatting on the ground seemed a little flustered, trying to pick up the documents as quickly as possible.

The hand stretched in the air paused for a moment, but out of curiosity, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but glance at the documents on the ground.

To his disappointment, he could only see the white back of the paper.

Except for one loose page that was lying quietly in the corner, face up.

Regarding using the out-of-limit RSI value to complete...

They are exploitative, no wonder they say this is sensitive information.

Dr. Agasa understood that this could be said to be a faction with a very loud voice and extreme views within the alliance.

Unlike the relatively unified views on "Kudo Shinichi" within the alliance when it was first established, as the alliance gradually grew and became stronger, it was impossible to have no internal disagreements.

Elimination faction, utilization faction, escape faction, hiding faction, promotion faction...

It is difficult to truly count how many different attitudes there are towards "absolute time nodes".

But the "utilization faction" is undoubtedly the most active and the most extreme.

As the name suggests, after discovering that "Kudo Shinichi" is not as omnipotent as initially observed, he still shows an influence on the RSI value of the entire universe.

"If we can make good use of Him, even all of us can be elevated to gods!" For the research level, their attitude towards Conan is even more like this.

Although most of them do not have such great ambitions, the main reason for their attitude is actually the allocation of research funds.

If everyone follows the crowd and does some research, then no department in the research layer can compare to the Time Exploration Department in studying orthodox timeline theory.

Obviously, for newly established laboratories or research departments, if everyone applies for funding in this area - then why doesn't the executive level hand this project over to the Time Exploration Department?

Therefore, it is important to explore new approaches and find some additional possible breakthrough points.

In short, there are countless similar plans and voices in the league today.

In fact, the more powerful the abilities Conan demonstrates now, the more it can arouse some people's imagination.

Whenever Dr. Agasa hears such rumors, he feels a little worried. This is not a positive phenomenon.

He thought, I should talk to ZC-01 while I'm on my way to the executive floor.

However, thinking of Lin Sheng's promise to him, Dr. Agasa still felt a little relieved——

After all, as a core member, Lin Sheng couldn't go back on his word on the promise to ensure Conan's safety.

Therefore, when Dr. Agasa walked into Lin Sheng's office and heard the first request made by Lin Sheng, he gave a firm answer -

"I will never agree!" Lin Sheng heard Dr. Agasa say this.

The request Lin Sheng put forward was actually very simple.

For the Alliance, in addition to the data and information collected during this mission, the most important gain was an individual contained in the "loop".

Sukehiro Miyazaki.

That is the kidnapper in that kidnapping case.

Unlike the dead things that are collected on site before and after the cycle ends.

They transform too quickly after leaving the cycle, and for many studies, the research directions they can provide are very limited.

The Reality Analysis Department ultimately failed to preserve its research samples.

After all, the significance of the Alliance's first "living specimen" affected by the cycle is too great—

If the 15-minute "timeline" individual in the isolated loop can be considered a human being.

"But only you can do this. Currently, you are the only one in the alliance whose abnormal RSI value can meet the requirements of this experiment." Lin Sheng tried to persuade Dr. Agasa.

"And if you're being literal, he's dead now, he just wasn't dead for 15 minutes, but that's only because we isolated him."

"It's a bit like a medical examiner looking into the cause of death."

This is the truth.

For the alliance, the research layer sees this research opportunity as an opportunity——

An opportunity to study the impact of "cycles" on human beings themselves. Any breakthrough, even the smallest one, will bring great advantages to future alliance actions.

It might even be possible to find a way to "normalize" the members of the operation against Conan.

After all, for the current alliance.

Apart from TDD devices equipped with the time traveler effect that can directly interfere with or ignore the influence of the loop, only the CS value can be considered to play a role in the "loop".

"I believe you understand the significance of this to the alliance," Lin Sheng paused, allowing Dr. Agasa to consider it carefully. "It is extremely important."

"But, but..." Dr. Agasa was almost about to agree.

"I don't agree," he said finally.
