Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

Chapter 11: The Actions of All Parties, and the Original Stone Users

That night, many people were unable to sleep. After discussing their countermeasures in detail, the four members of Professor Agasa's family began their respective actions.

First, with a heavy heart, Conan used Professor Agasa's specially made encrypted phone to call his parents across the ocean.

Although surprised, Kudo Yusaku immediately realized that the Black Organization's real target might not be Shinichi, but himself. It was highly likely that the Black Organization wanted to kill Kudo Shinichi and then use Kudo Shinichi's sudden disappearance to lure Kudo Yusaku back to Tokyo. Therefore, the organization would definitely take action against Kudo Yusaku next.

Therefore, Yusaku Kudo decisively stopped Yukiko, who was excited and wanted to return to Japan immediately, and talked with Shinichi Kudo for nearly half an hour, giving him many instructions before the two began their separate actions.

The first step was that night, when Ran Mouri returned home and mentioned to her father and Sonoko that she couldn't contact Shinichi, couldn't get through on the phone, no one was home, and he hadn't gone to Dr. Agasa's house. She showed concern, creating the impression that Shinichi was missing and her childhood friend was worried.

Kogoro Mouri nonchalantly reassured his daughter, saying that the boy was always focused on various cases and maybe his phone was just out of battery. Sonoko comforted Ran, saying that Shinichi might be engrossed in a mystery novel in a bookstore and had forgotten about the outside world, since he had a past where he would be absorbed in mystery novels for a whole day and night.

At least on the surface, Ran Mouri is just an ordinary girl who is a little worried because she lost contact with her childhood friend, and she knows nothing about Shinichi Kudo's battle with the organization.

The second step was that Hoshino Hikaru left through the underground passage and returned to his home that day, taking with him the encrypted phone that Dr. Agasa had given him to maintain contact for the time being. Conan stayed at Dr. Agasa's house and did not go out. On the surface, Dr. Agasa, his neighbor, did not know that Shinichi Kudo was in trouble.

Thirdly, in the following days, Ran Mouri and Hikaru Hoshino went to school as usual, and the two acted as if they were not familiar with each other, just like before. However, there was still no news of Shinichi Kudo. So, in a panic, Ran Mouri contacted Inspector Megure, an acquaintance of hers in the Superpower Bureau, and asked Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki to help investigate Shinichi Kudo's disappearance.

Meanwhile, Dr. Agasa also "anxiously" called Yusaku Kudo using an unencrypted phone to tell them about Shinichi Kudo's disappearance.

Kudo Yusaku was instantly "shocked," but managed to calm down and told the doctor that he roughly guessed what was going on. He told the doctor not to worry, and also told Ran and the others not to worry, and that he would return to Tokyo as soon as possible.

In the following days, Professor Agasa and Ran Mouri seemed somewhat anxious, as did Sonoko, the Mouri family, and Inspector Megure, but there was still no news.

During these past few days, while Ran Mouri was working with Professor Agasa, she "accidentally" bumped into her classmate Hikaru Hoshino on the street and witnessed Hikaru using deduction to help several children solve a theft case.

Perhaps wanting to find more help, or perhaps feeling that Hoshino Hikaru's reasoning ability was not bad, he asked Hoshino Hikaru to join the search team, and thus entered Professor Agasa's detective agency.

Then, Yusaku Kudo called, claiming that Shinichi Kudo had encountered some trouble and needed to hide for a while. He went to New York to be with them temporarily, which reassured everyone and superficially calmed the storm surrounding Shinichi Kudo's disappearance.

Hikaru Hoshino and Ran Mouri joined the Agasa Detective Agency, while Yusaku Kudo booked a flight back to Tokyo, quietly awaiting the organization's move.

……

One week later, at Professor Agasa's house.

"Data detection in progress... Superpower 'Light Energy', Superpower Link cannot be calculated, Current Level LV3, Potential LV5, Type: Primal Stone Type Superpower User."

The mechanical voice of MOSS echoed in the room. Professor Agasa, holding multiple testing instruments, looked at Hoshino Hikaru with a shocked expression.

"My goodness, Hikari, your potential is LV5, and your superpower is the Primal Stone 'Light Energy'!"

Professor Agasa's eyes lit up, like a southern college student who had never seen snow before, seeing snow in the north for the first time, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Doctor, is it really that exaggerated?"

Hikaru Hoshino felt a little uncomfortable under Professor Agasa's gaze, and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

After handling the overt arrangements and cover-ups in the past few days, Dr. Agasa conducted physical examinations on the three individuals. The results showed that, apart from Ran Mouri's demon bloodline stabilizing somewhat, there had been no significant changes.

Conan did not become weaker as his body shrank; instead, he became stronger, which surprised Professor Agasa. However, since Professor Agasa could not detect hidden abilities such as the "Death Aura," he was not too shocked.

However, after testing Hoshino Hikaru's superpower data, Dr. Agasa was almost speechless with astonishment.

"Huh? Besides Kyogoku Makoto, Hoshino-kun is also a potential Level 5 combat esper?"

Ran looked at the data on the test screen with a hint of surprise. After all, as an alumna, although she didn't know much about Hoshino Hikaru, she had witnessed Kyogoku Makoto's fighting prowess.

Although there are rumors that Ran Mouri might become Makoto Kyogoku's opponent, Ran herself believes that even if she activates her demon bloodline, she wouldn't last more than a few moves against Kyogoku's terrifying power.

"I see, it's because the original stone user hasn't fully awakened their abilities."

Conan pushed up his glasses, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He was somewhat surprised by Hoshino Hikaru's data, but he also felt it made sense.

"A Primal Stone user? Not fully awakened? What does that mean?"

Hoshino Hikaru recalled the original owner's memories and confirmed that Teitan Superpower High School had not taught these two concepts, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Regarding the Stone-type espers, it is actually a category of espers. Teitan High School did not explain it because most people don't need it, but it is not a secret to scientists."

Professor Agasa subconsciously touched his sparse hair, looking somewhat excited, his eyes shining as he looked at Hikaru Hoshino and continued to explain:

"Since the birth of superpowered individuals, scientists have conducted research through various methods, eventually classifying them into combat, technology, control, and special profession categories."

"Among them, combat-type espers directly enhance their combat power through super-energy circuits within their bodies, such as Ran's 'Karate Athlete' and Shinichi's 'Soccer Player.' Technical-type espers do not enhance combat power but rather create super-energy circuits in their minds to enhance their cognitive abilities, such as my 'Scientist.'"

"Control-type superpowers involve constructing superpower circuits outside the body, like a magician changing themselves, such as Yukiko's 'actor'. Special profession-type superpowers are comprehensive, such as Shinichi's 'detective', which simultaneously enhances a person's reasoning, learning, and observation abilities."

"But regardless of the type, their superpowers operate by constructing super-power links in their minds. From the level to the movement trajectory, they are all scientifically calculable superpowered individuals."

As Dr. Agasa spoke, he picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued in a serious tone:

"Then the Primal Stone users, also known as magical psychics, have superpowers that are unpredictable, like Brownian motion within their bodies. Yet they can use them through a mysterious and inexplicable sense. Moreover, the superpowers of Primal Stone users are ever-changing and can be transformed into various different superpowers."

"It's like the lightsaber you used in your previous battle, Xiao Guang. If you were a calculation superhuman, you would need to use your brain to calculate the length, position, and energy particle composition of the lightsaber... In short, it's very difficult to use. But you can use it just by feeling it."

Hearing Professor Agasa's words, Hoshino Hikaru felt a little embarrassed. He used his superpowers through the system panel. It wouldn't be wrong to say that he was a Genji user who relied on his senses. After all, he really couldn't learn a bunch of technical terms and do scientific calculations to use his superpowers.

"The number of original gem psychics is small, and many of them are in an unawakened state when they first awaken. On the surface, they are just ordinary LV1 psychics, but they can awaken later. Hikari, you should be like that too."

The professor typed rapidly on the computer, his eyes gleaming with excitement behind his glasses.

"That's good too. After all, you can't fight that black-clad organization without sufficient strength."

Hikaru Hoshino nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with the doctor's conclusion.

"Oh right, Shinichi, Ran, Hikaru, this is a special item I prepared for you guys last night."

The doctor slapped his forehead, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and strode to the other side, taking out a heavy metal box.

"Doctor, I'll take it."

Upon seeing this, Xiaolan immediately stepped forward, took the box, gently placed it on the ground, and carefully opened it.

"Huh? What's this?"

As the box was opened, the items inside were instantly revealed, and Hoshino Hikaru's eyes widened in surprise.

Inside, a green skateboard with yellow footrests and wheels lay quietly. Next to the skateboard were three blue watches (two large and one small), a red bow, a pair of specially made sneakers, and a belt.

"Doctor, you mean you made all of these in a week?"

Hoshino Hikaru's voice rose slightly, and he looked at Professor Agasa as if he were looking at a monster. Then his gaze fell on the box, and "Eye of Light" was activated.

"Of course not. It was last night. I don't know why, but I suddenly had a burst of inspiration. I combined my previous design ideas with some defective products and modified them, and that's how I made these..."

The doctor smiled and explained the functions of the props as he distributed them to the three people.

"Doctor, you truly deserve to be called a top-notch scientist. You completed all of this in just one night."

Hikaru Hoshino took the "Super Watch" and looked at Conan, who had put on his bow tie and shoes. He was even more impressed with Dr. Agasa's level of Conan knowledge.

"Doctor, it seems that only the super-powered watch comes in sets of three; the rest are for myself?"

Conan adjusted his glasses, put on the red bow-tie voice changer, and fastened his super-powered belt, then asked with some confusion.

"Regarding this, these super-powered devices of mine were originally researched and prepared for children to play with, but they failed and I put them aside for the time being. Yesterday, I suddenly had an inspiration and modified the failed products and completed them. So most of them are suitable for Shinichi. I'm sorry, Ran and Hikari."

The professor scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, then spoke to Ran and Hikaru Hoshino.

"No, Doctor, you've done very well, thank you."

Xiaolan quickly waved her hand and put the Superwatch on her wrist.

"Hey, by the way, Xiao Guang, this is the assistant registration interface. Please fill in your personal information."

The professor chuckled as he opened a new webpage and handed the computer to Hoshino Hikaru.

"Okay, no problem."

Hikaru Hoshino took the computer, glanced at the interface, and then his pupils dilated in surprise.

"Assistant, room and board included, monthly salary 10 yuan, PhD, are you that rich?"

Hoshino Hikaru spoke subconsciously. This 100,000 yen was not the Japanese yen of her previous life. Because of global unification, although there are still differences in ethnic culture between different states, at least the monetary system is unified.

Today, 100,000 yuan is the federal currency uniformly set by the Earth United Defense Organization. In terms of purchasing power, it is basically the same as the currency of my hometown in my previous life. It is equivalent to a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, which is definitely the highest level of the detective assistant position.

However, Hoshino Hikaru immediately realized that he had asked a pointless question. The total price of all the scientific equipment in Professor Agasa's house was an absolutely terrifying figure. Scientific research was the most expensive thing.

However, due to the influence of the original work from his previous life, Hoshino Hikaru subconsciously thought that Professor Agasa was not a wealthy man like in the original work. After all, Professor Agasa in the original work was just a scientist who liked to invent things in the private sector, and his income was not exaggerated. But in this world, he is the top scientist in the private sector.

"Hmph! Don't worry, Xiao Guang, my family still has a little bit of money. It's more than enough to pay you the salary of an assistant."

Professor Agasa patted Hikaru Hoshino on the shoulder and spoke in a very magnanimous manner.
