Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 138 Ai Haibara? Shiho Miyano? Sherry! (Third Update)

While Luca was still in a daze, the dreamlike bubble in front of him began to rapidly condense and take shape.

Finally, it transformed into a complete human form and appeared before him.

"This is Ai Haibara??"

Luca's exclamation immediately drew the attention of the person in front of him.

The chestnut-haired girl looked at Luca with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and then uttered a soft sound.

"Ai Haibara? Who is that?"

"Uh, no, I mean, Shiho Miyano?"

Yes, the girl in front of them was none other than Shiho Miyano, who was the last person to meet Luca in that dream world.

Yes, it's 17-year-old Shiho Miyano, not Ai Haibara who turned into a child after taking 'APTX4869'.

However, after hearing Luca address her that way, 'Shiho Miyano' in front of her showed a hint of understanding in her eyes, but still shook her head indifferently.

"I probably can't be considered Shiho Miyano."

Upon hearing this, a look of confusion immediately shifted to Luca's face.

"Huh? I just saw your face again. You think you can fool me? I'm as smart as a mule now!"

However, the girl in front of him didn't seem to notice the doubt in Luca's eyes and continued speaking.

"I'm probably just a projection, a copy of something."

At this point, a hint of bitterness appeared on the girl's cool face.

"replica?"

Upon hearing Shiho Miyano say this, Luca immediately recalled the scene from earlier where a dreamlike bubble condensed into a human form.

However, the girl in front of him, whether in appearance or tone of voice, seemed to be exactly the same as the original Shiho Miyano.

Why would you think of yourself as, well, a copy?

Hearing Luca's question, the girl in front of him rubbed her fingertips in a daze and said in a broken voice.

"It's probably a feeling. I know I possess all of Shiho Miyano's memories and knowledge, and my body and mind are exactly the same as hers, but I feel like I can't empathize with everything she's been through. It's like I'm just an observer."

As she spoke, the girl gently rolled up her sleeve, revealing a scar that was almost imperceptible.

She could clearly remember that these were the scars she had left when she was playing in her parents' laboratory as a child, but at this moment she seemed unable to feel the pain and joy she had felt back then, and even her longing for her parents was very faint.

And, more importantly.

"I feel like there's a voice in my head telling me that I can't disobey your orders."

After hearing the explanation from the person in front of him, 'Shiho Miyano', Luca fell silent for a moment.

It does seem, from this perspective, that it does resemble a virtual character projected by a cheat-like power.

only.

'Although absolute obedience seems like a good thing for me, I always feel like the other person is somewhat pitiful.'

After hesitating for a moment, Luca decided to say a few words of comfort to the other person, since verbal comfort wouldn't cost him anything.

"Actually, since you share the same memories, thoughts, and body, you can completely consider yourself to be Shiho Miyano."

"Have you ever heard of parallel universes? I know of two people who look exactly alike, even with slightly different experiences and memories, but they are both unique Gwens. This world didn't originally have a person named Shiho Miyano, so you don't need to care about any clones!"

To Luca's surprise, while he thought he had done a good job of comforting her, the girl on the other side shook her head firmly once again.

"No, I am not Shiho Miyano. Shiho Miyano's childhood was too difficult!"

"." 'So all my talking turned out she didn't want to be Shiho Miyano at all.'

Luca rolled his eyes in exasperation and simply changed the subject.

"You're saying you can't disobey my orders?"

"."

"You said it yourself, so now I'll have you do a somersault for me, um, never mind."

"."

The person in front of him, 'Shiho Miyano', was filled with a series of question marks, but due to the influence of that mysterious power, he had no choice but to take action.

However, as a frail researcher who had spent her entire life in the laboratory, she had no idea how to do somersaults.

Once the body leans backward and falls, it's impossible to get back up.

At this moment, all he could do was repeatedly push off the ground with his feet and arch his back and abdomen, trying to flip himself over.

It doesn't look like it's doing a somersault at all; it looks exactly like a carp that's drowning after coming ashore and can only thrash around wildly.

Seeing this, Luca quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Okay, okay, I believe you, just stop now."

Upon hearing Luca's new instruction, Shiho Miyano finally stopped struggling and hurriedly sat up.

At this point, she could no longer maintain her somewhat aloof demeanor. She was simply panting heavily in place, rolling her eyes at Luca with annoyance.

It seems that even the initial sense of bewilderment about being a 'copy' has dissipated considerably.

"Um, actually I just wanted to test whether my command could be like a Command Spell, forcibly enhancing your abilities and allowing you to do things you couldn't do before. That's right! That's it!"

"Hmm, you know what Command Seals are, right?"

Seeing Shiho Miyano's eyes practically rolling to the sky, Luca decisively abandoned the topic.

"Since you say you're not Shiho Miyano, then what about her abilities?"

"I can do everything she can; we have exactly the same abilities."

This is actually good news for Luca.

Although Shiho Miyano in the original Conan series was not very old, she was already considered a top biomedical scientist in that world.

Although it seems that no one has made any significant achievements on the surface, the fact that the Black Organization agreed to let her serve as the main person in charge of research on 'APTX4869,' a miraculous drug that can make people younger, at the age of only 17 or 8, shows her terrifying talent.

Moreover, he has now created a biological laboratory thanks to Baymax's abilities.

If we add Shiho Miyano to that list...
'Upgrading the lab directly into a biopharmaceutical company might not be a bad idea, right? Hmm, that seems a bit too expensive. Perhaps it would be better to have her help Da Bai speed up the development of targeted drugs first.'

Thinking of this, Luca's gaze toward Shiho Miyano became even more intense, making the girl opposite him feel slightly uncomfortable.

"So right now, the most important thing is to get you a formal identity."

Given Orange Industries' current size, this is a small matter that they could easily accomplish.

only.
Looking at the other person's hair color and hairstyle, which were very similar to her own.

'Won't this cause outsiders to misunderstand?'

Quickly clearing his mind of all this jumbled thoughts, Luca coughed lightly and then asked.

"As for the name, shall we still use Shiho Miyano?"

"No, I want my new name to be Sherry!"
