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

Chapter 69 Everything is going according to plan, the Alliance’s big hand is everywhere (Happy New Year everyone!)

As this group of children started shouting loudly in the middle of the park, discussing their plans after finding the treasure.

A group of three Italian bandits wearing black sunglasses and suits that didn't fit in with the surroundings ran to the intersection of the park panting.

They really feel that things have been going wrong since they came to Japan.

"What the hell is this weather!"

Kawana really couldn't run anymore. He complained and gasped for breath.

He even felt like his lungs were about to explode.

Bending down and supporting his knees with his hands, Kawana asked the other two companions to wait for him.

"Huff...wait for me, that one..."

He was panting so hard that he could barely speak. "The note was blown into this park. There's no wind here now. Wait for me."

The three poor robbers had been chasing the "treasure map" that was blown all the way by the wind for more than an hour.

"I really don't understand," the shortest one standing next to Kawana said, "Couldn't you have held that damn piece of paper tighter?"

"Can you blame me for this?" another robber shouted. "I didn't know that jacket pocket was leaking!"

"And this damn wind! We had to run after this damn piece of paper for a whole hour!"

They did all this for those 15,000 Maple Leaf gold coins.

A year ago, this gang of robbers, led by their leader Dino Cabane, robbed 15000 maple leaf gold coins from the Italian Banco del Basda.

(Equivalent to 600 million yen)
And then it was like in many movies.

As expected, their leader betrayed them and secretly hid the gold coins in Japan.

These three unlucky guys didn't get a penny.

While carrying a serious robbery record, he didn't get a penny.

This is really sad and makes people cry.

It is comparable to Gin, who was "accidentally injured" by the United Nations not long ago.

Fortunately, the three guys finally managed to find the leader's hidden residence.

Kawana, who has now become the leader of the three people, said angrily.

"It's all because of that old guy who refused to reveal where he hid the gold coins..."

In the end, the group only dug out this piece of paper from the room, which might be a mark.

Then they retaliated by telling the police where their leader lived.

(Honestly, this is really stupid...)
And just like the original story, just as Conan and his crew were about to start today's treasure hunt.

The three robbers who were chasing the note discovered the clue they had been chasing for a whole hour that Yuantai was waving in his hand.

That sticky note.

The shortest bandit immediately spotted a bright yellow strip of paper dancing in the middle of the park.

"That is!"

Just as he was about to take a step forward, he was stopped by Kawana beside him.

"Look over there," Kawana pointed to the three teams of police surrounding the flower bed in the center of the park, "There are cops with guns patrolling over there."

"The ones who found the note are just a few little devils. We just need to follow them."

As he said this, his other hand inadvertently clenched something in his pocket.

The "little devils" mentioned by this gang of robbers have decided to make a major move -

"Now let's go find this treasure!"

Yuantai's voice revealed excitement that was hard to conceal.

He had even begun to imagine how much eel rice worth of treasure he could find with this treasure map.

"From today on! We are the Junior Detective Team! As for the leader, I, Kojima Genta, will be the leader!"

The moment Kojima Motota excitedly shouted these words——

The fuse of [Loop] was finally lit.

The [story timeline] also fluctuated excitedly, and it began to combine with reality impatiently.

At such a moment, the [loop] acts as a lubricant, and the boundaries between the two timelines begin to blur and even intertwine.

The space-time scale of the entire universe began to change quietly.

The causal relationship of the timeline began to become fragile.

This makes it possible to reorder the chronological order of certain key events.

The prerequisite element listed as the most critical by the Alliance in this [cycle] has finally been completed.

All of this was seen by several task forces still dispatched by the Alliance, and they immediately reported their movements to Dr. Agasa.

"Attention, Kudo Shinichi and the other members of the Junior Detective League are about to leave the park and move towards Tokyo Tower."

"The security personnel of Group B disguised as those guarding the exhibition hall entrance have activated the TDD's enhanced mode and are ready to begin operations."

"Report! Team A is ready to activate the Micro Reality Anchor!"

Wearing TDD, Will kept reporting information to Dr. Agasa, "It's time to start the action, Doctor!"

Dr. Agasa sighed.

For some reason, he felt that he was becoming less and less like "himself".

In other words, I am no longer like the "normal" self in that story line.

The longer Dr. Agasa stayed in the alliance, the more clearly he could feel the changes in himself.

Especially the changes in thinking.

It's like there are two people living in your body at the same time.

"Is this what it feels like to break through what those guys in the Narrative Studies department call 'personality'?"

Sighing again, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but complain, "It's still really uncomfortable to know the truth."

But then Dr. Agasa immediately wiped away the hesitation on his face.

He immediately grabbed the second intercom in the third row on the table and gave instructions to that side.

"The action begins!"

……

The timing of the alliance's action was the conclusion reached by the Time Exploration Department after repeated calculations.

That was the moment when "Genta" said "The Junior Detective Team is established."

Unlike other [loops], the purpose of this side story was achieved after Genta said that sentence.

Researchers anticipate that the [story timeline] will put much less pressure on the operators in the [loop].

So, at the moment Yuantai shouted, another loud scolding voice suddenly sounded in the center of the park.

"What are you three sneaky guys doing hiding behind that pillar?!" The one who shouted was a member of Group B disguised as a park security guard.

In order to deliberately provoke a strong reaction from the bandits, he even took out the security stick on his waist.

Although this sentence directly caused the micro-reality anchor to overload, his goal had been achieved.

The shout of this Group B member immediately attracted the attention of two policemen who had just passed by.

The police officers currently patrolling these parks are from the Red Side.

They were attracted by a false news deliberately released by the alliance that "the Gray Party will take action at the treasure exhibition."

In reality, at the request of the [Red Team], every police officer was given a death order before this operation.

"Any abnormalities and possible clues must not be missed!"

Hermann treasured this "accidental" intelligence very much. "Any suspicious person must be checked by us!"

Except for the little help that the Alliance asked [Gray Side] to provide.

This is the first time that the [real timeline] has the energy to make some minor changes in this [loop].

From now on, it will begin to try to gradually occupy the difficult-to-grasp places of the storyline.

In a sense, this is the first time the Red Force comes into contact with Conan.

And it is the [Red Side] in the [Real Timeline].

So the three gangs of robbers pointed out by the security guards subconsciously did the most inappropriate thing.

When they were called, they immediately turned around and ran.

Then he was captured alive by several teams of police who surrounded him.

"That note is actually a clue to the treasure!"

One of the robbers who was pinned to the ground shouted indignantly. He had already realized that he would have no chance of getting the treasure, so he directly confessed his crime.

"It's all because of that damn wind!"

What? It really is a clue to the treasure!

Standing aside with the other three children of the Junior Detective League, as a spectator, Conan's eyes instantly became sharp when he heard all this.

As for the [story timeline], it is now fighting on both sides——

On the one hand, the stories in this [cycle] are not exciting enough.

It instinctively wants to continue to guide this "treasure hunt case".

But on the other hand, it's just like the league planned.

It also cannot accept any key node that may cause Conan to miss the next [cycle].

Therefore, as expected from the model given by the research layer.

The [Story Timeline] will tacitly allow the Alliance to choose the option with less loss, that is, to successfully steal the entire remaining space-time structure of an unfinished [cycle]!

What the alliance has to do next is to immediately move a future "circular welding point" forward one grid -

While causing a slight "misalignment" between the two timelines, the [story timeline] directly connects to the next [cycle].

This requires some kind of power to directly delay the entire [story timeline] for a short period of time.

Lin Sheng's office began to shake frequently and violently at this moment, and even the room powered by the perpetual motion machine experienced voltage instability.

The time travel effect in Lin Sheng is trying to fight against the [circulation] mechanism of the entire universe.

The time traveler effect is trying to drag the entire universe with it and stabilize an additional time dimension out of thin air outside of the two timelines.

From the perspective of dual time streams, the elements that satisfy the occurrence of the "Maple Leaf Gold Coin Case" [cycle] are no longer sufficient.

The remaining [loop] structure, the three captured bandits, the possibility of missing the next [loop]...

The universe and dual timelines cannot affect Conan.

The occurrence of [Loop] has already been confirmed by a high school detective.

The abnormal RSI value on Conan has determined the outcome of the timeline.

Now! Immediately! A cycle must occur.

……

"Dr. Agasa! Haven't you finished the finishing touches yet?!"

Lin Sheng now felt the same dizzy feeling he had on the plane when he discovered the truth. He glanced at the data displayed by the space-time loop structure generator.

"APTX-4869 consumption is only enough to last three minutes!"

Dr. Agasa was extremely anxious. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll wait one last minute!"

He also knew that this was the most critical moment. If Xiaolan really didn't make that call next -

He would have to risk being "looped" again and pretend to be Xiaolan's voice to make that call.

"Hurry up!" Dr. Agasa urged in his heart, "Xiaolan!"

……

For Xiaolan, this afternoon was so long that she was not used to it.

Maori's office was empty, and now she was the only one left in the room.

The door of the Shin family still couldn't be knocked open. Conan and his classmates went to an exhibition, and his father was not at home.

Xiaolan remembered what Sonoko had said to her not long ago.

"Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, why don't you call and ask?!"

Sonoko's words seemed to echo in her ears, and every word was like a reminder deep in her heart.

The uneasiness in her heart grew heavier, and the inexplicable anxiety made Xiaolan feel more and more suffocated, and she even felt a little breathless.

Xiaolan walked to the desk in a somewhat distracted state, and her eyes fell on the note posted under the landline phone -

That was the phone number Dr. Agasa left her yesterday.

"Xiaolan, this is Shinichi's latest phone number that I asked him to pass on to you."

At that time, Dr. Agasa felt that he had returned to the state before the "loop", but with the support of the Narrative Department, he finally managed to complete the planned dialogue.

"But Shinichi seems to be investigating a very important case right now. If it's not something very important, try not to call him, okay?"

"Otherwise Shinichi might get hurt!"

Thinking of what the doctor said, Xiaolan still hesitated. If Shinichi had something very important to do now...

Two thoughts began to fight in my mind.

Should I ask Shinichi?
After looking at the clock hanging on the wall, Xiaolan finally made up her mind.

"Regarding Valentine's Day, it should be considered as the important thing that the doctor mentioned..."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xiaolan came to her senses and found that she had already pressed the phone button without knowing when.

The next [loop] was finally connected.
