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

Chapter 79: Unable to Stop This Case
Standing in the middle of a messy living room, Dr. Agasa took a deep breath.

Although he was aware of the trouble that the [story timeline] might bring.

But when a person really faces these chaotic situations, the doctor's inner anxiety is still difficult to suppress——

There is no alliance support this time!
His thoughts quickly switched, and Dr. Agasa needed to calm himself down.

Toyama Hui is now accompanying Professor Agasa to clean up the villa that was messed up by the [story timeline].

After Will was sent to the hospital, Toyama Hui, who arrived, became Dr. Agasa's new assistant.

All the people the league assigned to his companies went through a careful psychological screening.

Add to that the secrets I've memorized, all the secrets everyone has written down about themselves—

Dr. Agasa quickly convinced his new assistant.

For Toyama Hui, who just thought he was called by his boss to take care of housework.

He stared at the letter that Dr. Agasa had just handed to him, which he had written to himself.

Yuanshan Hui still found it hard to believe that he had been involved in such a complicated situation.

Moreover, Dr. Agasa did not give him any time to mentally prepare. He just kept spitting out the next task to be completed like a robot.

"...So after completing the above steps, the next thing we need to do in this [loop] is to set the guide point for that bridge."

"If we have more time and energy, we can do our best to try to avoid any deaths in this case."

Of course, the league itself doesn't hold out much hope for the second goal.

Before the alliance reopens the base and connects the two timelines.

"The Alliance's remaining strength cannot be wasted on saving the victims of this case."

Thinking of the possible consequences, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but sigh.

He fully understood that after Shinichi became small, every time Conan encountered a case where someone died, the world would change.

This means that the probability and possibility of "homicides" occurring across the entire earth and even the universe will further increase.

Considering that this is the first time that "Conan" has encountered a case involving a real death.

"Department of Narrative Studies, uh," seeing the puzzled look from Toyama Hui, Dr. Agasa changed his words to a more popular one.

"I mean, the CYZ Alliance's research department believes that the storyline, in fact, the entire world, is likely to be directly completed in one step—"

"The probability of a fatality in serious violent crime worldwide has increased to one in three."

And everything he just experienced made Dr. Agasa understand that it would obviously be in the entire [cycle] that follows.

[Story Timeline] will never give him any chance to contact or even go to the crime scene.

"Doctor, is all this... true?" Yuanshan Hui asked hesitantly, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness in his eyes.

He seemed not to be listening to the doctor's rambling at all.

For him, who just thought he had just become the secretary of the president of a company called "Future Watches".

Everything seemed to be beyond Toyama Keiya's cognition, as if he had entered a completely unfamiliar realm.

But he still understood the phrase "the crime death rate has increased by one third", and he understood how huge this one third was.

"So, we have absolutely no way to prevent this from happening?!"

Yuanshan Hui never expected that the first thing he would face after discovering the truth was to get used to his own "powerlessness".

"We can't tell that Mr. Minagawa now—"

"Now is not the time to think about this, Yuanshan."

Dr. Agasa quickly made a decision and began to dismantle several less important reality anchors from his body.

Compared to himself, Yuanshan needs these devices more now.

"Anyway, you can see that the villa is in chaos right now. The whole situation has reached an extreme due to the intervention of the [Loop]."

"We don't have much time left. If we don't hurry—"

……

Dr. Agasa's words were interrupted by another confused voice.

"Boss? Dr. Agasa? Is there something you want me to do now?" Dr. Agasa did not answer immediately. He just suddenly froze and stood there.

"Dr. Agasa? Boss?"

That's it again.

Sighing in his heart, Dr. Agasa began to "persuade" his new assistant again.

He adjusted his strategy again.

"It seems I can't share any future development information this time. I'd better package my words and actions..."

Toyama Hui is not Dr. Agasa, so he has "no reason" to know what will happen in the future.

Even though the Alliance had done its best to design an identity for each of them that would theoretically allow them to seamlessly enter the story timeline before stealing the Loop.

Apparently [the story timeline] doesn't quite "agree" with reality suddenly throwing a person onto the stage.

For the vast majority of alliance members who remain in reality, they have no other background than being "employees of Dr. Agasa's company."

[Story Timeline] will not recognize any identities provided by the CYZ Alliance to alliance members remaining in the [Loop] that may affect the development of the story.

Ignoring Yuanshan's questions, he had already decided to do some of the preparations himself.

"But in order for the Loop Gate—the space-time bridge beacon left behind by the Research Layer—to be recognized by both timelines simultaneously, it must be activated at the exact moment the loop ends."

"How can I know the exact moment when Conan's deduction ends?"

Dr. Agasa began to search his mind for the contingency plan left for him by the Alliance.

"First of all, simply relying on changes in the RSI value is definitely not enough. Without being close to Conan, it's difficult to say whether there are other factors affecting the test results."

"But if we rely on the trends of the [real timeline]..."

Several contingency plans were strung together in the doctor's mind.

He immediately turned around, grabbed a few sheets of paper from the table, and quickly glanced at the handwritten plans.

Then he picked up Yuanshan's phone and dialed a number.

"Yes, I'm Dr. Agasa."

The doctor's voice was very serious. "Contact the staff of the treasure exhibition immediately, especially the security personnel. We must make them follow the action plan we set!"

Toyama Hui once again showed the expression that Dr. Agasa was familiar with and said those familiar words.

"Doctor, what course of action?"

Dr. Agasa didn't say much. He opened his drawer full of documents, pulled out a blueprint, and quickly drew a path on it.

"Now is not the time to worry about whether this is true or not."

"We're on a tight timeline right now. Without the Alliance's support, we can only follow the flow of time in the [Loop] as given by the [Story Timeline]!"

"Do you know what this means? We only have one night to act!"

"This is our course of action!"

Dr. Agasa ignored his puzzled look and stuffed the paper in his hand into Toyama Keiya's hand.

"You have to remember that operations have to start before anything happens. We can't wait. We have to make sure that the movement of these workers is what we expect."

"Otherwise, all plans will go to waste!"

Although he could not understand Dr. Agasa's meaning and actions at all, Toyama Hui could also feel the sense of urgency contained therein.

He quickly picked up the coat on the table and said, "I'll drive right away!"

Dr. Agasa looked around again and saw that his living room was a mess.

"Anyway, there's a dedicated line from my office to my underground lab! Call me immediately if you have any questions!"

"As for the course of action you mentioned and everything else, I will explain it to you clearly after this is over!"

Of course, Dr. Agasa cannot leave the villa, so the space-time bridge connecting device, the "Loop Gate", was installed by the Alliance in his underground laboratory.

He must ensure that preparations are made in advance.
