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

Chapter 46 The Gray Side is in Action

For the entire real world.

In the story timeline or "loop", Conan and the original characters may occupy an important position, but unfortunately, the two timelines share the same universe.

Although the real timeline currently seems to have no ability to resist, it is still one of the constituent logics of this scientific universe.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the Black Side or the Red Side, almost all of their actions in the past, present, and even the future, can have less impact than a small action ordered by the executive team by Lin Sheng.

That is the recruitment of CYZ alliance members.

Especially the recruitment of researchers at the scientific research level.

Even if Gin took a helicopter and shot down the TV towers of ten different countries, it would be far inferior.

After all, would the winery dare to kidnap the most elite and intelligent scholars from more than a dozen countries at the same time?

Moreover, with the rapid development of the alliance, the equipment department at the logistics level and the various research departments at the R&D level need a large number of talents, not just scholars in theoretical physics.

It also includes many sensitive research directions.

In a sense, this is also a reality. Almost all countries understand the importance of scientific research capabilities to themselves, especially several major countries.

But obviously, in the eyes of the alliance, many scholars are not even protected as well as those rich people or boring politicians, as if they don't really care.

The brains that contribute to the human era entering the next era are often not as important as power, wealth and some boring things.

In short, after setting up the obvious gray side.

"Science Frontiers", this legal organization can be "legal" in that it allows scholars to become the talents needed by the CYZ Alliance by "suicide" or "disappearance".

And the facts prove that they actually "care".

For the real countries that have experienced "several months" in less than a "week", after the end of the previous "cycle", they all found that -

My beloved scholar is missing!

So they finally started moving after the previous "cycle" ended.

This time it’s not just a small fight like inserting a few undercover agents into the black team.

In fact, the first to discover the problem were the military of various countries. After all, those scholars who have access to the most core secrets and the most powerful weapons are on their list.

Unfortunately, their protection is of little use, and the messages they try to convey to their superiors often fall on deaf ears.

"Hehehe," after glancing at the urgent intelligence submitted by several departments, ■■■ put those boring documents at the bottom of the pile of information.

"You headless flies who don't know the truth, just bang your heads against the wall," he said to his secretary with a scornful smile on his face, flicking the cigar in his hand.

"Just make arrangements and say I'm feeling a little unwell and need to see a doctor. I'll also take a vacation."

So this senior intelligence general coincidentally "disappeared" for a week.

And this is not an isolated case.

This kind of coincidence has occurred in almost many key links and positions in the police, military, politics and various government departments. Officials who try to expose some problems often feel that they are subject to certain constraints and resistance.

This resistance did not end until Lin Sheng decided to move the plan to the next step.

So, just like the plan proposed by the executive level, those who discovered or were found out began to communicate privately with panic and anger, and verify it through various hidden intelligence.

Even calls directly to the other side of the ocean.

After confirming with each other that this was not a stumbling block set by the other side, many people realized the seriousness of the problem.

And this is exactly one of Lin Sheng’s goals.

After all, he couldn't just sit back and watch the real timeline do nothing, just lie down and wait for the Alliance to save it.

No matter what, the real timeline is still one of the important pillars of the world.

You should know that although the previous "escape plan" failed, with the new research discoveries on the timeline and APTX-4869, more "escape plans" have been submitted one after another by the research level.

Unless absolutely necessary, strategic shift is always the last option.

"Since materials are public," Shigenobu Hitomi faithfully conveyed Lin Sheng's will at the executive meeting, "it is impossible for the cycle to affect everyone!" The Time Continuity Department had long ago conducted research on "cycles" based on the "absolute core nodes."

"We must admit that the [case] is the cause of the [cycle], causing everyone in reality to fall into the [cycle] independently..."

"It's almost impossible. You can imagine it, it's almost like inserting unmovable reefs in the river of time."

In the Conan world, time still flows forward like a long river, but the slight difference is that the "cycle" is like the lakes and ponds that the river passes through.

"At the moment, it seems that neither Conan nor the story timeline can make this lake hold river water infinitely. Therefore, it is possible to try to use the reaction force of the real timeline..."

Therefore, just as the executive level predicted, reality also began to fight out of another logic.

Several major powers in "reality" are now trying to establish a joint organization to share or exchange intelligence.

Reality is the cornerstone of time, and time is the stage for stories.

A story cannot appear out of thin air, nor can it oppose itself; it must rely on something.

Looking at the trends of all parties summarized by the executive level, Lin Sheng patted the plan and handed it back to Shigenobu Hitomi, and he smiled.

"Now, under the guidance of the Alliance, reality has reluctantly come to our side—"

As one of the core members of the executive layer, unlike those members who were only called ZC-01, she knew Lin Sheng's name, and she also knew that Lin Sheng did not like to be a code name.

The Council President returned the same smile: "Your will, Your Excellency Lin Sheng."

At this moment, Dr. Agasa is trying his best to exaggerate the power of the gray side to Conan.

Regardless of whether it is useful in the end, details cannot be overlooked.

"You may not know, Conan," Dr. Agasa lowered his voice, as if afraid of being heard by someone. His tone seemed to be filled with fear and dread from the bottom of his heart.

"I heard that many scholars committed suicide after joining the scientific organization called 'Science Frontiers'!"

"suicide?"

Conan's eyes suddenly became sharp and his brows frowned involuntarily.

He never expected that this organization, which he had never heard of before, would be involved in such a horrific incident.

"Yes, and not just ordinary scholars," Dr. Agasa's tone became heavy, and his fingers unconsciously twirled the corners of his clothes, which helped to increase the credibility of his words, "Among them are several Nobel Prize winners! There are even top researchers in nuclear physics and other cutting-edge fields!"

When the doctor said this, he raised his head and looked at Conan, with a complex emotion in his eyes, like sadness and helplessness.

"Have you seen their research results with your own eyes? Is it because of politics?" Conan's eyes were deep, and he had already begun to think of bad things in his mind.

"Most of them are scholars engaged in theoretical physics. I don't think there is any other factor." The doctor shook his head. "After all, most of their research results will probably not be verified until the next century."

"Because you mentioned that watch, I sent an email to an old friend to try to find out about it...and you know what?" He paused, his voice almost inaudible. "Just a few hours after he sent me his reply, he also committed suicide."

At this point, the doctor's Adam's apple moved, as if a breath was stuck in his chest.

He raised his hand to take off his glasses, wiped the lenses with his sleeve, and tried to make his voice as steady as possible.

Although his shaking hands betrayed his inner turmoil.

Conan's eyes became more serious. "Have you read the letter?"

Dr. Agasa nodded vigorously. "This morning... I just opened it," he said, looking down at the floor, looking at the envelope lying quietly on it.

It's like recalling that moment.

"The contents of the letter were strange... like a puzzle game, and the puzzles weren't difficult to guess."

After saying that, he turned around and picked up the letter from the ground, trembling slightly, as if the thin paper weighed a thousand pounds.

When he handed the letter to Conan, he paused again, as if hesitant, but finally let go.

Now that I know the truth——

Dr. Agasa knew that he had no other choice, no choice at all...
