Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"I'm not dead? And I've shrunk?"

Shiho Miyano stared blankly at the scene, then immediately came to her senses, her expression becoming incredibly resolute.

Although she had prepared for death before the operation, and decided that if she was not rescued, she would commit suicide with APTX-4869 to cut off her sister's chance to risk her life to save her.

However, to her surprise, she did not die. Instead, she shrank and broke free of the "super handcuffs" and "super anklets," regaining her superpowers. In this way, she might be able to escape.

Although she wasn't afraid of death, it didn't mean she was willing to die. After all, she still wanted to live a normal life with her sister, in the sunlight.

"They're unlikely to kill me outright; more likely, they'll teach me a lesson. In that case, the gas's effect shouldn't last more than a minute, and now there are less than three minutes left!"

Shiho Miyano's mind raced. She tore her coat to shreds, aimed it at the ventilation duct on the ceiling, and swung it around to wrap it around. Then, with a sudden burst of strength, she snapped the metal mesh of the vent.

"Snapped!"

Shiho Miyano took a deep breath, bent slightly, took a running start, and leaped up, grabbing the edge of the vent on the ceiling.

"Unfortunately, I am just a scientist and do not have their power, otherwise I might have been able to escape head-on."

Shiho Miyano moved quickly through the ventilation duct, her petite frame allowing her to move nimbly.

Two minutes later, Shiho Miyano suddenly rushed out of a sewer pipe outside the Third Research Institute. She quickly glanced at the surrounding scene, realized that this was a building in the city, and then decisively chose a direction and started running.

"It's about time. Release Sherry."

The man in black standing guard outside the solitary confinement room glanced at the time, pressed the ventilation system to quickly clear the poison from the room, and then slowly opened the door.

"Um?"

The man in black blinked, his mind went blank for a few seconds, and then he suddenly realized something.

"ah!!!!"

……

"What did you say?"

Ireland suddenly stood up from the table, his eyes turning bloodshot, releasing a chilling killing intent, his body trembling slightly.

"Sir, Sherry is gone! She's disappeared from the solitary confinement cell. The 'super handcuffs' and 'super ankle bracelets' have been broken free intact, the ventilation ducts have been opened, and Sherry has vanished."

The man in black, trembling, forced himself to speak.

"Snapped!"

Ireland, barely suppressing the urge to shoot the man in front of him, slammed his fist on the table and roared:

"Then what are you waiting for? Immediately arrange for everyone to go search!"

"My lord, all those who can move have been dispatched..."

The man in black wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke in a flustered manner.

"You should go too, or you'll regret it!"

Ireland cursed angrily until the man in black left, then he rubbed his temples wearily. Ignoring his injuries, he rushed towards the solitary confinement room to try to find clues and start thinking of a solution.

Ireland quickly checked the solitary confinement cell, his face growing increasingly grim. He could only sullenly direct everyone to search for Shirley in the surrounding area, though he knew in his heart that the chances of success were slim.

Judging from the current situation, Sherry's escape was clearly premeditated. The person who tried to take Sherry away from Tequila was probably just a decoy. The real killing move was made now, when they thought Sherry was safe.

Most importantly, Shirley somehow managed to break free from the "super handcuffs" and "super anklets." These two items are designed to prevent the imprisoned person from using superpowers. Without her superpowers, Shirley was just a scientist with no strength to fight back. How could she possibly escape? The most likely explanation is that she had external support and an undercover agent within the organization.

After a long silence, Ireland finally dialed Pisco's number:

"Sir, something's happened! Shirley's gone!"

"What did you say???"

Upon hearing Ireland's report, Piscoe stood up abruptly, his voice rising several decibels, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.

As a veteran of the organization, Pisco knew all too well how important Sherry was. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Sherry were lost and the Boss unleashed his fury.

"Sir, Shirley, she..."

Ireland could sense Pisk's panic and quickly and concisely recounted the entire incident.

"This is terrifying! This Yusaku Kudo is terrifying! First he schemed against me, then he schemed against Gin, and he even managed to steal Akemi Miyano and Sherry away!"

Pisco muttered to himself, somewhat lost in thought, before finally hanging up after a long while.

At the same time, the members of the Black Organization began to disperse and search for Sherry, while the girl, who had turned into a child, began her escape.

"I can't believe I actually escaped. This low-probability event actually happened to me. So, where should I go next?"

Wearing a white lab coat, Shiho Miyano ran frantically through the rainy night, her mind racing as she thought.

She definitely couldn't go to her sister's and cousin Shuichi Akai's place. First, she couldn't contact them now; the phone she used to contact them last time had been disposed of long ago. Second, she didn't want to go in that manner. After all, Shuichi Akai and the New York Bureau of Superpowers were not the same person. If the people in the Bureau of Superpowers found out that she had rejuvenated, they might directly alarm the higher-ups of the board of directors, and her fate wouldn't be much better than it was in the organization.

Immortality has been a topic that humanity has been unable to avoid for many years. The Supreme Council of the Earth United Defense Organization contains the highest-ranking officials of human civilization governments, and their desire for rejuvenation is no less than that of the Black Organization.

What she needs now is a place to hide, to temporarily escape the organization's pursuit, so that she can contact her sister alone later.

"Oh, right, Shinichi Kudo, maybe he can help me!"

Shiho Miyano's face was flushed, and her body temperature looked very high, but her mind was unusually clear.

At that moment, she remembered a name: high school detective Shinichi Kudo. Although Shinichi Kudo was already dead in Gin's mission log, Shiho Miyano did not think so.

As a drug developer, she personally verified the identities of every person who died from her drugs. Without exception, all the victims who had taken her drugs died except for Shinichi Kudo, whose body was never found.

Although Gin's report stated that Shinichi Kudo's body was taken away by a mysterious light-elemental user, the subsequent reactions of Shinichi's family and friends also indicated that Shinichi Kudo was dead.

However, Shiho Miyano remained skeptical and recently went to investigate near the Kudo residence. At that time, she noticed a detail: Professor Agasa, Shinichi Kudo's neighbor, had been ordering less fried chicken delivery in the past few days.

There was nothing suspicious about it, but Shiho Miyano had an instinctive feeling that someone else might be living in his house, and that it was an acquaintance who cared about his health.

"We have no choice but to take a gamble!"

Shiho Miyano made up her mind, quickened her pace, and ran towards the direction of Shinichi Kudo's family that she remembered.

"Da da da!"

Just then, familiar footsteps came from not far away, and Shiho Miyano staggered, her face turning much paler.

The footsteps were very orderly, as if they were looking for someone, and Shiho Miyano's body stiffened involuntarily. As someone with organizational radar, Shiho Miyano realized that this might be someone from the Black Organization.

"Are they that fast?"

Shiho Miyano took a deep breath, suppressing her fear as she leaned against the corner of the wall, letting the rain fall on her. She kept her head down as much as possible, hoping that the people on patrol would treat her like an ordinary child and not notice the unusual nature of her clothes.

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

The footsteps approached gradually from the alley ahead, and Shiho Miyano's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, Shiho Miyano suddenly felt something envelop her body, and a person appeared behind her without her noticing.

"Hey Ayumi, how could you run away from home? It's dangerous for you to be out alone in this weather."

A young man's voice, tinged with anger and worry, rang out. Shiho Miyano snapped out of her daze and noticed that she was wearing a coat that covered her ill-fitting clothes. The young man who had suddenly appeared was standing with his hands on his hips and his head down, obscuring her brown hair.

At the same time, a man in black emerged from the alley ahead, glancing around. He looked at where Hoshino Hikaru and Miyano Shiho were, and seeing a man and a little girl, he immediately looked away and continued searching for Sherry.

"It's dangerous for you to be out alone so late, little girl. You look like you need help!"

After the people from the organization left, Hoshino Hikaru regained his composure and looked at Miyano Shiho calmly as he spoke.

"Who are you?"

Shiho Miyano looked at the man who had suddenly appeared with some wariness. Although he seemed to have just helped her out of a predicament, she was not sure what his stance was.

Shiho Miyano was on edge, carefully sensing the aura emanating from the young man in front of her—a special sensory radar she was born with.

Within the organization, she could clearly sense the aura emanating from its members, especially someone like Gin who had killed countless people. But now, applying that aura to the unfamiliar young man before her made her slightly taken aback.

"Light? Such a powerful light? This is... an aura completely opposite to that of the organization?"

At that moment, Shiho Miyano felt it; Hikaru Hoshino was radiating a warm golden light, a stark contrast to the darkness of the organization, which made her instinctively feel warmth.

At that moment, Shiho Miyano's taut nerves snapped. Her feverish body, which she had been holding up with sheer willpower, finally gave way and she collapsed uncontrollably.
