Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Compared to Haibara Ai's excitement, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Moriarty were much calmer.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was thinking while answering Haibara Ai's question:

"This may be the case from the current situation, and to be precise, we are back to 18:40 one hour and fifteen minutes ago."

"However, other scenarios cannot be ruled out."

"Is it possible it's an illusion? But I'm afraid this sense of reality is not optimistic."

On the other side, Moriarty also became serious, because no matter what happened just now, it was obviously beyond the scope of normal events.

If they are in an illusion created by someone, then there is no doubt that the strength of the other party cannot be underestimated.

But if it's not an illusion.

After pondering for a moment, he asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"What do you think?"

The reason why he asked Fujimaru Ritsuka was because as far as he knew, this was not the first time that the other party had been exposed to such time-related events.

"Maybe it's reincarnation, no, wait."

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave her own speculation, but soon, she hesitated again.

When she was in the Lostbelt in India, she had experienced the cyclical reincarnation controlled and executed by Arjuna Alter, the King of the Lostbelt, so she had some personal experience of reincarnation.

But recalling the feeling at that time, she shook her head and said:

"It doesn't seem like Banana's kind of reincarnation. I'll think about it again."

Banana?

Arjuna Alter from Berserker Employment Agency?

Hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka say such a cute/terrible nickname with a normal expression, Moriarty couldn't help but his eyelids trembled slightly, and he always felt that his heart was not in good condition.

Arjuna Alter, the king of the Lost Belt, absorbed the divinity of all Indian gods, abandoned humans and the earth, became a god, and reached the sky. The god of destruction who rules over everything for the sake of a complete and perfect world.

Such a terrifying servant was given such a lovely nickname by Fujimaru Ritsuka. How should I describe this feeling?

All I can say is that he is truly worthy of being a Master.

"Yes!"

Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to think of something and said:

"The feeling just now seems to be more like going back in time."

Going back in time is not too unfamiliar to her.

During the previous Valentine's Day date with Space Ishtar, due to a wrong choice, the entire Chaldea was exploded by the other party. In the end, Fufu was able to go back in time and finally complete the date successfully.

It is simply as big a crisis as the Lost Belt.

"Going back in time, that's quite amazing. Besides, this is just the appearance."

He did not doubt Fujimaru Ritsuka's guess. After hearing this, Moriarty couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said:

"A crime involving such power, ah, seems to be getting a little exciting!"

"Don't do bad things."

She gave the other party a slight warning, and then fell into thinking again.

There are two main problems before them, one is the monster named Shadow, and the other is the sudden appearance of time back.

Why does a monster named Shadow appear? What is the purpose of their appearance?

Why does the phenomenon of time regression occur? And why do we look back at that point in time?

However, she felt that there might indeed be some connection between shadows and time retrieval, even though they seemed far apart.

Best of all, this time they have new leads to investigate.

She asked Moriarty:

"Professor, did you hear the gunshot? Can you pinpoint the location of the shooting?"

The sound of gunshots is something unusual for this small island, not to mention that the sound of gunshots happened just before the time went back. It doesn't look like a simple coincidence, and it is necessary to investigate.

Moriarty nodded and smiled:

"No problem, the gunshot wasn't very far from here."

"So."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly paused, turned to look at Hui Yuan Ai beside her, and asked:

"Xiao Ai, how do you feel now? Are you okay?"

".fine."

Very interesting! ! !

In fact, she wanted to say so.

There were shadows, and time went back again. Unbelievable events came one after another, which had completely shattered her worldview to pieces.

Especially time backtracking. Compared to a topic like shadow, which is a strange topic, as a scientist, she can better understand what an incredible miracle time backtracking is.

You know, her idol in the field of science is Einstein!

But perhaps the shock reached a critical point, numbing her entire senses. Now she was able to calm down and think carefully about the current situation.

Although I don’t know who Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others are, it can be seen from the conversation between the two that they seem to be accustomed to such abnormal events, and even want to take the initiative to investigate, just like professionals.

Especially the way the two of them were discussing the difference between reincarnation and time retrieval in a serious manner made her feel that their identities were becoming more and more unfathomable.

Now that she knew nothing about everything, she chose to trust the two of them and staying with them was the most correct choice.

but

"Can I ask a question?"

"Of course."

After receiving Fujimaru Ritsuka's affirmation, she felt relieved, and then said:

"Is there anything I can do now?"

Maybe Fujimaru Ritsuka and Moriarty can protect her until the whole incident is over. She also knows that the best choice for her who doesn't know anything at the moment is to accept their protection obediently.

However, she always felt that if she just did nothing and stayed like a puppet until the end, the distance between her and Fujimaru Ritsuka might be pulled further away, and then they would embark on two non-intersecting paths. .

She doesn't like this kind of future.

"Um"

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not expect that Haibara Ai would ask such a question. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and then started thinking.

Under Hui Yuarai's nervous gaze, she pondered for a moment, then raised her head and asked:

"Xiao Ai, can you use a gun?"

"Eh?"

This time it was Hui Yuan Ai's turn to be stunned on the spot, but she quickly reacted and had no time to think about anything else, so she nodded quickly and said:

"Yes! I can use it!"

Although she mainly works as a scientific researcher in the organization and never goes out on missions, she never fails in shooting training. Although her marksmanship is not top-notch, it can be said to be good.

"In this case."

Next, she watched in shock as Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand seemed to reach into a certain space and disappeared from sight.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka fumbled around in the [Minister's Treasure House] for a while, he took out a black pistol and two magazines filled with bullets, and handed them to Haibara Ai.

This is not a magic gift, it is just an ordinary pistol among some thermal weapons she purchased from the NFF service of Goyanskaya in Light for emergencies.

"Is it okay to use this?"

It's a real gun!

She made this judgment the first moment she took over the pistol and magazine. At the same time, hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's question, an inexplicable absurd emotion arose in her heart.

You know, her current body is only equivalent to that of a first grade elementary school student.

Is it really okay to just hand her a real gun casually?

But when I think about the incredible experience just now, this magical scene seems to have become normal.

".no problem."

She took a deep breath, calmed down, and answered firmly.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Moriarty smiled at the same time, and then Fujimaru Ritsuka ordered:

"Then, let's start investigating!"

"Go to where the gunshots were fired!"
