Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

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

Upon hearing the mechanical voice coming from the door, Hoshino Hikaru's eyes widened even more, and she looked at Kudo Shinichi with a hesitant expression.

"This is MOSS, the defense system developed by the doctor to identify artificial intelligence. As I said before, my identity cannot be hidden from the doctor. After all, unless I stay away from the doctor's house, MOSS can see through it at a glance. Come in, I'll get you slippers, don't be shy."

As he spoke, Shinichi Kudo beckoned Hikaru Hoshino to come in, took two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and did so as if he were in his own home.

Hikaru Hoshino's eye twitched slightly, and he suppressed the urge to retort as he walked into the professor's house with Shinichi Kudo.

Hikaru Hoshino had no doubt about Professor Agasa's abilities. After all, in the original Detective Conan series, Professor Agasa, Shiho Miyano, and Hiroki Sawada represented the pinnacle of mechanical science, biological science, and information science, respectively.

However, seeing Professor Agasa build a sci-fi fortress in this superpowered world is still quite shocking. Hoshino Hikaru suspects that if the professor were given enough funding, he might be able to build real mecha for combat.

"By the way, I just came in with you like this, didn't MOSS react at all?"

Hikaru Hoshino was invited by Shinichi Kudo to sit on the sofa and asked a question.

"Moss can judge our relationship by our interaction patterns, language, facial expressions, and demeanor, and determine that you are not an enemy."

Shinichi Kudo simply brewed two cups of tea, sat down on the other side of the sofa, and handed one to Hikaru Hoshino.

Hoshino Hikaru was filled with doubts, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin. Just then, a softly chuckling old man's voice rang out.

"Shinichi, you're here. Sorry, I'm currently upgrading the aircraft. You wanted to see me about something... um?"

Professor Agasa, dressed in a white lab coat, holding a fried chicken in his hand and carrying a jetpack on his back, walked out of the basement without any regard for his image. He looked bewildered at the two people, one big and one small, sitting on the sofa, and they stared at each other.

Hikaru Hoshino immediately looked at Professor Agasa, and an information panel appeared under the "Eye of Light".

Name: Professor Agasa

[Level: LV5 Scientist (Technology)]

[Scientists: It is possible to build super-powered circuits in the brain, generate various data calculation simulations, complete various inspiring experiments, and create the pinnacle of human scientific products]

【Characteristics: A top scientist with a gentle personality who loves food and children】

"It's LV5?"

Hikaru Hoshino was somewhat surprised, but then she understood. In the original story of her previous life, Professor Agasa's various inventions violated the laws of physics and were even more terrifying than the world's top research institutions, so it was understandable in this LV5.

Compared to Hikaru Hoshino, Dr. Agasa was somewhat bewildered. MOSS had just told him in the basement that Shinichi had arrived with a friend. But upon arriving, he was met with two strangers, one big and one small, which left Dr. Agasa confused, and his mind began to race.

First of all, MOSS is definitely right. Iris and fingerprint authentication have been done. Therefore, of the two people in front of him, one is Shinichi and the other is his friend. Let's rule out the little boy being Shinichi first. Then, the other handsome young man is Shinichi in disguise, and the cute little boy is Shinichi's friend.

After a long silence, Professor Agasa slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing something, and pointed at Hikaru Hoshino, saying:

"Shinichi, you had Yukiko help you disguise yourself. There's no need to pretend here. MOSS can recognize you. Is this the friend Shinichi that MOSS mentioned earlier? I didn't expect you to make friends with a child."

After Professor Agasa finished speaking, he gave a warm smile, looked down at Shinichi, and said in a gentle tone, "Hello, little brother, I'm Professor Agasa, your neighbor."

"No, Doctor, I am Shinichi, Shinichi Kudo!"

Wearing ill-fitting clothes, Shinichi Kudo jumped up and down, speaking excitedly.

"Um?"

Professor Agasa blinked, looked at Hikaru Hoshino, then looked down at Shinichi Kudo, sighed helplessly, and patted Hikaru Hoshino on the shoulder.

"Shinichi, why are you starting to play pranks like Yukiko? And don't set a bad example for the kids."

After Professor Agasa finished speaking, he patted Shinichi Kudo's head with his other hand, which wasn't holding the chicken leg, and said gently, "Little boy, you can't help your Shinichi brother play pranks, okay?"

Clearly, Professor Agasa believes that Hikaru Hoshino was disguised by Yukiko Kudo, while Conan was just a kid playing pranks on Shinichi.

Hikaru Hoshino covered his mouth, looked down at Shinichi, and gave him a half-smile.

"No, I really am Shinichi. I was injected with a drug by Gin from the Black Organization, and my body shrunk. He is my classmate, Hoshino Hikaru."

Shinichi Kudo explained, somewhat devastated, that for the first time he felt so helpless having a prankster mother, which had even damaged his reputation.

"Um, Professor Agasa, he really is Shinichi Kudo. This is a bit complicated, but let us explain it to you slowly."

Hoshino Hikaru composed herself and spoke in a serious tone.

Seeing this, Professor Agasa looked left and right, full of questions, but he didn't say anything and just quietly watched the two of them.

Soon, Shinichi explained the whole story.

"Such a thing actually happened?"

As Dr. Agasa muttered to himself, he pressed the watch on his right wrist. A blue scanning light swept over Shinichi, registering his iris scan.

[Identity: Shinichi Kudo]

Age: 7

"This is incredible! This is groundbreaking science! And Hoshino-kun, thank you for saving Shinichi."

Professor Agasa carefully put away the detection watch with a complicated expression. Then he solemnly thanked Hoshino Hikaru.

"No need for that, Doctor. Kudo saved me too. We helped each other, and now we're comrades in similar situations."

Hikaru Hoshino quickly helped the professor up; he was clearly still not used to the atmosphere of bowing.

"So, Doctor, is there any way you can make me turn back?"

After the three sat down and had a brief chat to get to know each other, Shinichi Kudo tentatively spoke with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Don't make things difficult for me. I'm not very good at medicine, and I know nothing about drug ingredients."

Professor Agasa shook his head helplessly. Even as the top-tier "scientist" psychic, the ability to reverse aging was still far beyond his capabilities.

"As expected, it seems we still have to start with the Black Organization."

Shinichi leaned back on the sofa, looking somewhat dejected, his voice tinged with weariness.

"Don't be discouraged, Shinichi, I'll help you!"

Seeing this, Dr. Agasa immediately went over and patted Shinichi on the head, smiling as he encouraged him.

"That's right, Kudo, aren't you going to become the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era? Don't give up so easily."

Hikaru Hoshino stepped forward, squatted down, and patted Shinichi on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm just a little tired. Thank you, Doctor, Hoshino."

Shinichi Kudo sat up abruptly and spoke in a firm tone.

"Very well, then, first of all, you need a new name."

Seeing that Shinichi had cheered up, Dr. Agasa immediately spoke up.

"A new identity?"

Shinichi fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he spoke:

"Let's call him Conan, Edogawa Conan!"
