Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"This is incredible. It seems to violate the law of conservation of mass, even though this world is inherently an unscientific world of science."

Hikaru Hoshino sat quietly on the ground, watching Shinichi Kudo shrink little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, Shinichi Kudo, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes.

"I...I'm not dead?"

Shinichi Kudo blinked, a hint of confusion in his small eyes.

"Yes, not only did you survive, but all the injuries Gin inflicted on you have healed automatically. That's truly something to celebrate."

A slightly mocking voice came from behind. At this moment, Hoshino Hikaru had already removed the "Primary Light Disguise" and returned to her original appearance. After all, it was obvious that Kudo Shinichi had discovered her true identity and had even made arrangements for his last affairs.

"Hoshino-san, I... um? What's wrong with my voice? And, Hoshino-san, why have you become so tall... Ah!!! What is this?!"

Shinichi Kudo turned around and found that his voice had become very childish. Hoshino Hikaru, who was about the same height as him, appeared to be much taller in his line of sight. A very absurd and unscientific guess flashed through his mind.

"As you can see, you have become a child. Congratulations! Many people throughout history have wanted to turn back the clock, but you have succeeded."

A smile played on Hoshino Hikaru's lips as he spoke casually.

"How could this be? This is completely illogical!"

The tiny Shinichi Kudo touched his face, then touched his entire body from top to bottom, and was momentarily lost in a mental storm.

"Isn't it unscientific? This world has an abyss world and so many superpowers, so it's normal for some unusual things to happen, right?"

Hikaru Hoshino stood in front of Shinichi Kudo, lowered his head, and spoke casually.

"No, no, no, how can these be the same? The abyss and superpowers are part of the modern scientific system, but rejuvenation is beyond the scope of science..."

Shinichi Kudo shook his little head, looking at his tiny hands, and was momentarily speechless.

"Alright, since it's already happened, it means it's within the realm of science; it's just that previous generations hadn't discovered it. Don't overthink it. Look on the bright side—you've become younger! And now you should be thinking about what to do next, little brother Shinichi!"

Hikaru Hoshino patted Shinichi's head, giving him a kind older brother look, ignoring Shinichi's eye roll. He had to admit, it felt nice.

"You're right. What I should be thinking about now is what to do next."

Shinichi Kudo slapped away Hikaru Hoshino's right hand that was patting his head, but after this little prank, he snapped out of his panic, regained his composure, and fell into deep thought.

"First of all, my rejuvenation should be an accident. Gin's goal was clearly to kill me. In other words, this drug was a new poison developed by the Black Organization to kill superpowered individuals. Rejuvenation should be some kind of low-probability side effect."

"No, that's not right. Perhaps, rejuvenation was the Black Organization's real goal in researching this drug. They just failed in their research, and the drug only had the effect of killing, so it was used to kill people. But they didn't realize that the drug had actually succeeded."

As Shinichi Kudo tapped his chin with his thumb in deep thought, he meticulously analyzed the available information to make inferences:

"However, the success rate of this drug is very low. I have become a successful test subject by chance. So, the first thing I need to do is to hide my identity and make sure that the matter of rejuvenation is not exposed. Otherwise, not only the organization, but also the Earth United Defense Organization will surely have politicians who want to live forever."

"For me, the best way is to remain in hiding while investigating the Black Organization, finding samples and information about that drug, and even the scientists who developed it, to find a way to create an antidote to turn back and destroy the Black Organization."

"Hoshino-kun, no, Hoshino, could you please help me with this? At the very least, please keep this a secret."

Shinichi Kudo took a deep breath, raised his head, and solemnly addressed Hikaru Hoshino, then bowed deeply and earnestly requested.

"Now that things have come to this, it's impossible for me to stay out of it. Although I've disguised myself and that organization doesn't know my true identity, they'll definitely put the mysterious person with light superpowers on their kill list. Besides, I already know your biggest secret, so there's no way I can stay out of it. And I'm very vengeful, so I'll just have to fight you and the organization."

Hoshino Hikaru shrugged and spoke in a light tone. Of course, he wouldn't say anything like "I don't want to get involved with the organization" at a time like this; that would be impossible.

Now that Shinichi Kudo has become Conan, a showdown between him and the organization is inevitable. He already knows Shinichi Kudo's identity, and unless he chooses to leave Tokyo and get completely away from it, he cannot stay out of it.

However, instead of entrusting his fate to others, Hoshino Hikaru would rather stay by Conan's side, solve some Abyss Energy incidents, and accumulate more Light Energy to improve himself.

As for the danger, the main force dealing with the Black Organization consists of the strategist team of Yusaku Kudo and Shinichi Kudo, and the combat team of Shuichi Akai and Tooru Amuro. As long as you don't rush to the front like a fool, the level of danger is still acceptable.

Shinichi Kudo looked up and met Hikaru Hoshino's gaze for a moment. Sensing Hikaru's seriousness, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief as he spoke earnestly:

"Thanks!"

"Since you're going to oppose the organization in everything, forget about thanking me and let's talk about our next move."

Hoshino Hikaru lowered his head slightly, and his tone became much more serious.

The foundation of this world is different from Hoshino Hikaru's memories of her previous life. Not only is the power of the Black Organization different, but the various forces of the Red Team will also be different after the loss of the concept of nation. To fight against the organization, it is necessary to make plans in advance.

"First of all, it's not something the two of us can do against the massive Black Organization. We need help. For example, I've been investigating the Black Organization's parents, and I also have my neighbor, Professor Agasa, who supports me. Besides, my identity can't be hidden from the professor. Our first step should be to ask Professor Agasa for help."

Shinichi Kudo spoke quickly and clearly.

"Professor Agasa is a top-notch amateur scientist. Although he is officially recognized as a Level 3 scientist, that's because he is low-key and unknown to the world. His strength and abilities are far more than that. Moreover, he watched me grow up and is also my father's friend and helper for many years. He can be trusted."

Shinichi Kudo seemed worried that Hikaru Hoshino might not trust the unfamiliar Professor Agasa, so he quickly revealed some information.

"Is that so? In that case, Professor Agasa, whom you mentioned, can be trusted. Very well, we need help too. Let's go, show me the way."

Hoshino Hikaru nodded slightly. In any case, Professor Agasa was an unavoidable part of the story, and he was also very curious about what kind of gadgets Professor Agasa would create in this world. So, he grabbed Shinichi Kudo by the back of his collar with his right hand, pulled him into his arms, and started running wildly towards Professor Agasa's house.

……

A dozen minutes later, in a small alley two streets away from Professor Agasa's house, in Beikacho 3-chome, next to the Kudo family's house.

"I mean, you mean the house of Professor Agasa that you mentioned is in this deserted alley?"

Hoshino Hikaru held Shinichi in his left arm, rubbed his eyes with his right hand, and showed a puzzled expression.

Because Shinichi Kudo's clothes didn't fit properly, restricting his movement, and because children are too slow, Hikaru Hoshino simply picked Shinichi up and quickly started moving. As for Shinichi's objections, they were physically suppressed.

However, when he finally arrived at his destination, Hoshino Hikaru was dumbfounded, because he was in front of an empty alley, and he clearly remembered that Professor Agasa's house should be next to the Kudo family's house, number 22, Beika-cho.

"We can't go directly to the Doctor's house. The Black Organization might be monitoring our house, and going directly to the Doctor would easily attract attention. So we need to go through another route. This is the secret passage that connects to the basement of the Doctor's house."

Shinichi struggled to jump down from Hoshino Hikaru's arms, speaking with some resentment. As a high school student, being carried in someone's arms was still very embarrassing and infuriating.

Shinichi took a few steps and came to the side of the alley, groping around in front of a certain spot on the wall.

"Ding!"

It seemed that some kind of fingerprint recognition had been successful. An electronic voice suddenly sounded, and then the ground slowly cracked open, revealing an underground staircase passage that could accommodate one person.

"Is that even possible? There's a secret passage a kilometer away leading to Professor Agasa's house?"

Hikaru Hoshino followed Shinichi, somewhat bewildered, into the underground passage. The door closed quickly, revealing a long corridor. Led by Shinichi, the two quickly traversed a kilometer and arrived at a large gate.

"Buzz~~"

After an electronic screen emitting white light appeared, Shinichi quickly entered a six-digit password.

The next moment, as if some switch had been triggered, a layer of light blue ripples appeared, and the hidden elevator slowly opened, revealing the elevator inside.

"This, Professor Agasa's house, it looks like a science fiction fortress."

Hikaru Hoshino followed behind Shinichi, muttering to himself.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg. You'll see how outrageous the Doctor's house is once you get there."

Shinichi gave a strange look, and then the elevator began to descend slowly.

After a while, after descending about three floors, the elevator doors slowly opened, and a dark blue light spread across the entire plane like flowing water. A technological fortress with a ceiling three stories high, radiating a dark blue light and full of mechanical feel, slowly emerged.

Inside the fortress, a large number of machines were in operation, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of science fiction.

"What, what is this technologically advanced underground castle?"

Hikaru Hoshino's eyelids twitched involuntarily. Although he had a premonition that Professor Agasa's house in the supernatural world might be different from the original work, seeing it with his own eyes was still shocking.

Beneath the three-story-high ceiling, the atmosphere is filled with cyberpunk, and the entire space exudes a sci-fi feel, giving the impression of a fortress that even missiles cannot breach.

"Everyone knows that Professor Agasa is a scientist, but officially, he is a Level 3 scientist, which is relatively rare but not particularly special among private scientists. Few people know that he is already considered a world-class scientist. He has transformed the basement of his house into a scientific fortress that is unparalleled in the world. Moreover, it is concealed by special camouflage materials so that it will not be discovered."

Shinichi's tone carried a hint of admiration and pride. He genuinely respected this PhD student who could not only shine in scientific research but also accompany them like an ordinary old neighbor.

"let's go."

Shinichi tugged at Hoshino Hikaru's sleeve, walked to a large blue gate, jumped up, and placed his right hand on the square sign in front of the gate.

The next moment, red light began to flash on the doorplate.

"Ding! Identity verification in progress... Iris recognition... Fingerprint recognition... Identity confirmed, Shinichi Kudo! Welcome."

A mechanical voice rang out, and then the underground fortress slowly opened, revealing a long corridor leading upwards.
