Conan Rick's Investigator

With his permission, Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kinosuke had already laid the floor in the bedroom.

The master and servant slept on the floor, and Qin Zhibo slept on the bed.

Before going to bed, Kuroba Kaito took out a pink ribbon and said.

"This is a magic item made by Koizumi Akako. It's said to allow people at both ends of a connected ribbon to share dreams."

It turns out that Koizumi Anko made this magic prop in order to compensate Kuroba Kaito.

This is also the real reason why Kuroba Kaito came to Qin Zhibo's house so urgently.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Qin Zhibo enters the dreamland, this prop can also transmit the dream to Kuroba Kaito equally.

It is a pity that this prop can only meet one-to-one dream sharing, and Terai Huangnosuke cannot participate.

The two tied each other's wrists with ribbons.

Kuroba Kaito was worried that it would fall off, and wanted to wrap it around Qin Zhibo's hand a few more times.

"Don't wrap it so tightly."

"why?"

"I'm afraid you'll take me away with you when you sleepwalk."

"How can I have that much strength? Uncle, it's better for you to take me away, right?"

Kuroba Kaito is still not confident in his own strength. After all, strength is generally not a magician's strength.

After the ribbon connected the two, Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito lay down on their respective beds and closed their eyes at the same time.

……

Mori Detective Agency, third floor.

"Good night, Conan."

"Good night, Sister Xiaolan."

Wearing the same light blue cartoon pajamas of different sizes, Conan and Mao Lilan said good night to each other.

Seeing Mao Lilan turning back to the room, Conan showed a knowing smile.

After experiencing the parallel world, he realized how happy he was now.

At least I can still see the person I care about most up close like this, but the "Conan" in the next world can't even see the normal Xiaolan.

Hey~

Conan sighed inwardly and returned to his room.

“Snoring—”

“Snoring—”

The long and even purring sound was the greeting given to Conan by Moori Kogoro, who was already lying on the bed.

Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri's sleeping face and his loud snoring, and couldn't imagine how Xiaolan's mother endured it before the separation.

However, Conan still secretly said goodnight to this "clumsy and even a little cute" uncle in his heart.

He lay down on his bed on the floor and took off his black technology glasses first, placing them within easy reach.

Then he took out Dr. A Li's special powerful sound-isolating earplugs from under the pillow and put them in his ears.

The snoring suddenly became much weaker.

Pulling the quilt down to his neck, Conan also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

Again.

Once again, here we are.

When Conan opened his eyes again, his surrounding vision returned to brightness, and he suddenly found that he was in a mysterious forest.

Surrounded by pyramid-shaped straw sheds that were about the same height as him, curious little heads poked out of the dark entrances of the straw sheds.

Native to this forest, they are rodents slightly larger than prairie dogs.

But unlike rodents in the real world, their eyes glow a light green, and a bunch of tentacles hang down from their noses, some of which look like wriggling beards.

Seeing this, Conan knew that he was having that dream again.

This dream has appeared frequently recently. Although its meaning is unclear, Conan enjoys it and does not feel troubled.

This place is a bit like "Alice in Wonderland", quite dreamy.

But always staying in the same place, no matter how dreamy it is, will inevitably feel a bit boring.

Moreover, the last time these forest rats treated him warmly and allowed him, an underage child, to drink, it made the scene awkward.

In order to further explore this dream, add some fun, and avoid the trouble of being persuaded to drink again, Conan decided to follow the opinions of his last exchange with Qin Zhibo in the real world.

Leave the forest.

Chapter 1152 Qin Zhibo: I am your father!

If you want to leave the forest, you first need to know the direction.

Conan proposed his idea of leaving the forest to the native inhabitants of the forest, the "Zuk Rat" with a mule nose.

Unexpectedly, this proposal was strongly opposed by Zugoshu.

"Zu Ge, Zu Ge..."

The mice here always call "Zuge, Zuge", so Conan also calls them Zuge mice.

Conan couldn't understand the meaning of these sounds at first, but as long as he got along with them for a while, he would naturally understand them.

He thinks this is the wonder of dreams, just like those little talking animals in Alice in Wonderland.

"We can't leave the forest!"

"Outside the forest are monsters, four-legged monsters with long tails. They have fangs and sharp claws. They are huge and ferocious!"

"They'll mistake you for a fermented rice ball and eat you!"

Wine-filled meatballs are a main food made by the Zugol tribe. They are wine made from the juice secreted by the glowing mushrooms in the forest, plus some edible weeds.

Conan tasted it when he came here last time. It tasted slightly sour and not delicious.

Zugoshu repeated the dangers outside, which made Conan, who was already in a good mood, feel a little frightened.

Are there monsters outside the forest?

Conan has entered the Zukodzu tribe several times, but he has not found any signs of "monster" activities.

And even if there is a monster, how can it withstand him?

This is not reality. In reality, there are people like Qin Zhibo who "bully" me from time to time.

This is in a dream, can I still be bullied by things in the dream?

……

At Conan's insistence, Zukorat finally compromised and agreed to show him the way out of the forest.

A group of Zugo rats emerged from the twisted oak trees and pyramid-shaped huts, and sent Conan to the road leading out of the forest.

"Zu Ge Zu Ge..."

Conan looked in the direction of the collective gaze of the Zukoshu. There were glowing mushrooms along the quiet path. The faint mist was flowing in the air near the treetops, making it look particularly strange and mysterious.

Under the friendly pats of Zuko, Conan, who has a spirit of exploration, embarks on this road to the unknown without hesitation.

Unable to resist the hospitality, he also brought a pot of special wine made by Zugo Rat using glowing mushrooms. The taste was also sour, but it was not as easy to get head-sick as Lao Baigan.

Following the path, Conan found that the glowing mushrooms around him were gradually decreasing and were replaced by towering oak forests.

Thriving oaks, aging oaks, and dead oaks stand in this area at the same time, which looks extremely unnatural.

Some thick branches lay wildly across the path, forcing Conan to remember the direction and pick a slightly sparse gap to pass through.

Just when he was about to duck under a thick oak branch, there was a strange noise in the originally silent forest.

“Bad luck! Bad luck!”

"What bad luck!"

The voice came from behind, and the voice was actually a human being.

Conan's ears twitched and he looked back, only to find a young man wearing a dark blue uniform running wildly on the path.

Behind him, countless Zugo rats were chasing after him, and the dust raised by the huge number even polluted the dense atmosphere of the forest.

Humanity? !

Conan was a little surprised that a living person could appear in his dream?

Taking a closer look, the boy was wearing clothes that were in the style of modern Japanese high school uniforms. He couldn't be said to be handsome, but rather straight-laced.

Looking up again, that body actually had a face exactly like his own!

W-what? !

Conan's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the running boy.

Strictly speaking, that is not his current face, but the face before he became smaller.

The face called "Kudo Shinichi".

Myself? !

Why do I dream about myself?

Just when Conan was surprised, Kuroba Kaito, who was being chased by countless rats, also saw Conan standing in front of him and was equally shocked.

Is it that detective kid?

Kuroba Kaito quickly searched for the child's information in his mind, and immediately recognized him as the elementary school student who stayed at the home of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro.

But what's even more surprising is that he is a smaller version of Kudo Shinichi, a famous high school detective who has been missing for some time.

It's him?

Zundu and fake toot?

To be honest, until now Kuroba Kaito still doesn't know whether this is his normal dream or the "dream world" that Qin Zhibo mentioned.

Judging from Qin Zhibo's previous description, this should be a dreamland.

But when he walked through countless steps and came to this world, Qin Zhibo was not around.

Logically speaking, he came in through Koizumi Hongzi's magic props and connected to Qin Zhibo's dream. The two should have been born in the same place.

Because of this, when he was chased by countless rats, he couldn't help but shout "Bad luck, bad luck".

But when he saw this Conan who should have nothing to do with the Dreamland, he couldn't help but start to doubt in his heart.

Could this all be fake?

Didn't I enter the dreamland at all?

Hey~

On the other side, Conan saw another "himself" running towards him, and had no reason not to help. He turned around and took the initiative to go forward, raised his little hand and shouted.

"stop!"

Kuroba Kaito stopped in time before hitting Conan, and Zukoshu behind him also stopped after seeing an acquaintance.

"Zu Ge Zu Ge..."

"This person is my friend, a thief..."

"Zu Ge Zu Ge?"

"..."

Conan negotiated with this group of Zurgrats.

This crazy scene made Kuroba Kaito's eyes widen in surprise.
