Conan's Unscientific Detective

Well, he couldn't help but want to blow himself up.

"Kata..."

At this moment, the sound of a sleeve hitting each other suddenly rang out.

Conan turned around when he heard the sound and saw a black gun muzzle pointing at him.

The person holding the gun was none other than Haibara Ai.

"I'm so sorry. As expected, I still can't fit in with you guys."

Haibara Ai's cold face vaguely revealed a hint of murderous intent.

"Habara...what are you doing?"

Conan was a little confused. He rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe what he was seeing.

We haven't seen each other for just a few days, why is this fake loli trying to kill me?

"Don't you understand? In fact, my identity was already discovered when I was at the Beihu Hotel..."

Huiyuan Ai sneered, "Another member of the organization found my hiding place just a few days ago. I thought he would get rid of me, but unexpectedly, they let me go and planned to let me go back to continue developing drugs that can make people smaller."

Conan's face darkened: "So that's why you want to kill me, the one who knows about the existence of the organization?!"

"Yes, this is the condition they set, and your parents and Dr. Agasa will also be eliminated."

Huihara Ai's expression remained unchanged, and she shook her head: "Actually, I don't want to do this either... but they threatened Fujino and Akemi-nee. If I can successfully get rid of you, they will consider letting Fujino join the organization with me. They also like Fujino's ability."

Conan was sweating profusely.

Haibara Ai's appearance is so real.

And he also had reason to believe that this woman would kill him for Fujino.

Damn, is this the end?

Conan felt like crying but had no tears.

At the same time, I feel a little powerless.

I didn't expect that Fujino was actually caught by those people...

"Pfft."

Accompanied by a noise.

No bullet came out of the black muzzle.

It was a column of water.

"Water gun?!"

Conan was confused again.

"If that's the case, what should you do?"

Huiyuan Ai put down the water gun and said calmly: "If my hiding place is found and they threaten Fujino's life... I might really do it."

As she spoke, she put away the squirting gun and shook her head: "But this possibility is very small. If this day really comes, the organization will not hesitate to wipe out everyone around me... Yes, they will definitely do this."

So, this is what you did?

Damn, why does it feel like this woman is becoming more and more like that guy Fujino?

Conan wiped the cold sweat from his temples and said speechlessly: "So, what is the meaning of the play you just performed?"

"I just want you to be mentally prepared in advance."

Ai Huihara turned to Conan and said, "If someone like you were driven by emotions, you would have told her your true identity by now, right?"

"Ugh?"

Conan was taken aback, "Why are you..."

"It's easy to detect, isn't it?"

Huiyuan Ai sneered, "The one who lives across the street should have noticed it too. Just look at your face and you'll know. She should be waiting for you to tell her now, right?"

"But, some things, once said, can never be taken back..."

Huihara Ai narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly realized that she was talking about herself. "Of course, if you tell her, things will obviously be much easier, but there is no doubt that she will be dragged into the water... If you still disguise this identity, it's okay. If one day, you are suddenly discovered and disappear directly, you can explain it by going home. But if you are really exposed, she will do her best to investigate the organization's affairs."

"........."

Conan fell into deep thought after hearing this.

"In fact, there is a way."

At this time, Huiyuan Ai suddenly changed the subject, "Actually, a few days ago, I developed an antidote based on what you said before, that Baigan can detoxify..."

"Ugh?!"

Conan was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly: "Then, can I change back?!"

"Are you an idiot?"

Huiyuan Ai said coldly, "The antidote is still at the experimental stage. It's not certain whether it can completely change back. You are dreaming too much..."

"what?"

Conan suddenly felt a little lost.

"But you don't have to be so disappointed."

Huiyuan Ai continued: "Now there are only some key studies left to confirm it... In short, it can be completed before the school festival."

“Critical research?”

Conan was a little confused, but he still put his hands together and lowered his posture, "Please!"

"Really..."

Haiyuan sighed.

In fact, she has already completed the antidote.

As for the key research, it is experiments, experiments on living beings...

She also wasn't sure whether the antidote was really effective.

To be on the safe side, we must use mice.

But without guinea pigs, she could only be the guinea pig herself.

If it doesn't work, it's okay, just treat it as an accident when traveling at a relative's house...

As mentioned before, once discovered by the organization, everyone will die.

It is better to die early than to be discovered by the organization and take away others.

It was really ridiculous to say that because of some unrealistic fantasies, she had actually developed the delusion that she was just an ordinary girl...

Chapter 277 An unexpected figure at the school festival

Late at night, in Beika-cho 2-chome, at Dr. Agasa's house.

In the dim room, various experimental equipment were placed in a messy manner and a large number of report sheets were scattered around.

It is not difficult to see that this is an old man's laboratory.

And it's the kind that often has accidents.

"Xiao Ai, is there really no problem?"

Dr. Agasa stood at the door of the laboratory, his tone sounding a little worried, "The efficacy of the antidote is still unclear. If we try it rashly, it may..."

"Of course I know this. Since I developed the antidote, of course it must be tested by the developer himself..."

In the laboratory, Huibara Ai interrupted him with her back to him and continued speaking.

At this moment, she was wearing a white T-shirt and black sweatpants, which was obviously the same one she wore when she first returned to Fujino's house.

"I understand."

Dr. Agasa also knew that it was useless to say more, so he did not continue to speak, but instead asked: "Is there anything else I can help with?"

"No... there is one."

Huiyuan Ai paused for a moment, then continued without looking back: "If it fails, you can help make up a reason for him, such as a car accident or being adopted abroad, anything is fine."

"I understand."

Dr. Agasa glanced at Huihara Ai's back and sighed, "Just in case... Although there won't be a chance, I will tell him that you were adopted by relatives abroad, so don't worry."

"please."

Huihara Ai's tone was the same as usual, but with a hint of gratitude in it, "Close the door."

"If you need anything, just let me know. I'll be waiting outside the door."

Dr. Agasa shook his head, gave some instructions, and closed the door.

Although the meeting was not pleasant, after spending some time together, the relationship between the two, both science geeks, gradually eased a lot.

It feels like having a granddaughter in old age who doesn’t visit often.

Uh... I suddenly felt a chill on the back of my head, and it felt a little inappropriate... my daughter.

…………

The door was closed and the room became dark.

"call……"

Haibara Ai let out a long sigh, she leaned against the wall, raised her hand, and relaxed her fingers. Lying on her palm was a small red and white pill.

However, it is too early to say that it is an antidote, because she doesn't know whether it is an antidote that can break the curse of APTX4869, or a poison that will bring her into endless darkness.

"Let fate decide whether it is an antidote or a poison..."

Huiyuan Ai looked at the antidote in her hand and smiled bitterly: "But after escaping from the organization and being able to live until now, I should be very satisfied... Why do I still feel a little unwilling?"

On the rainy night when she escaped from the organization, she was going to seek refuge with Kudo Shinichi, but after leaving Kudo's house, she clearly realized that she no longer had a place to stay.

Later, she seemed to walk to a place that seemed to be a shelter, a home that could accommodate her, and people who could protect her.

She thought this was her fate, but what happened to Kudo woke her up again.

As she herself said:

"It would be fine if he still disguises himself. If he suddenly disappears one day, he can explain it by saying he went home. But if he is really exposed, he will do his best to investigate the organization."

So, even if someone like her finds a place to stay, it will only bring endless disasters to the people who accommodate and protect her after being exposed.

She didn't know why she had such thoughts, but she felt a little uncomfortable in the corners of her eyes.

If you eat it, there is a 50% chance of death.

In the past, she might not hesitate...

But now she is very confused and somewhat unwilling.

She considers herself selfish and hopes that this kind of life can continue.

But he didn't want to expose his identity and drag those people into the abyss of being hunted down by the organization...

"So I am really selfish... I was already prepared to die, but when the time came, I couldn't bear to do it..."

Haibara Ai wiped her eyes, clutched the corner of her clothes, took a deep breath, and glanced at the adult clothes placed next to her.

Confused, she decided to leave her future to fate, which is the pill in her hand.

If she can successfully change back, it means that she is not destined to die. Judging from the effect of the white sample studied, this antidote is only temporary and she can still go back later.

But if something unexpected really happens, that's fine, at least the people around you won't be dragged into the quagmire of the organization.

If possible...she doesn't want to leave yet.

After thinking for a moment, she looked determined and swallowed the pill.

…………

Late at night at the Fujino family home.
