Conan: The winner is justice

Xiao Ai raised her head and stared quietly at Gu Meimen's serious face, her ice blue eyes unblinking.

After a while, she smiled softly.

"What do you think this is, a speech like a domineering president? Using your annoying attitude to express arrogant and awkward concern?"

"Huh? What are you talking about, Doraemon."

Gu Meimen immediately denied it.

"I just don't want a hardworking and free-paying employee like me to lose my life later because of inexplicable research. This will cost me a lot."

"With my current posture, the organization can't find me."

Xiao Ai stretched out a hand, knocked away Gu Meimen's hand that was touching her head, and gently gathered the messy hair on the back of her head.

After a period of change, her image is completely different from the past.

The most obvious thing is her hair. She used to have short hair for girls, but now it has grown long and turned into slightly medium-long hair. It is thick, fluffy and casually spread around the back of her head. With the wind blowing into the corridor from outside the door, she looks so cute. Dancing like an elf.

"That's not the point. The point is the drug you're studying."

Gu Meimen paused and said.

"At the beginning, when you were formulating Kudo's medicine, did you tell him this before?"

"People cannot go against the flow of time. If you try to force changes, you will be punished in the long run."

"Although I don't know what it means, but from the context of that sentence, it seems that if you take the antidote to this medicine, your life may be in danger? If you want to change back to your original posture, then there is no need. Although a small tablet is not interesting, at least it is a tablet that is alive and well, right?"

"I see, you care about this..."

The corners of Xiao Ai's delicate mouth were slightly raised.

She didn't pay attention to the "small tablet" in the ancient Meimen saying.

He just raised his head and looked at Gu Meimen with interest, with a hint of unknown smile in his eyes.

Gu Meimen looked a little strange at her look and couldn't help but say.

"Didn't you hear what I said? I am ordering you as your boss now and you are not allowed to do other work in the workplace."

"Gu Meimen Kensuke."

At this time, Xiao Ai suddenly called Gu Meimen's name in a very formal tone.

Gu Meimen looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you notice?"

Xiao Ai said calmly.

"You, me, and everyone around us, we have already fallen into the torrent of time and been punished."

"you mean……"

Gu Meimen frowned slightly, thinking of something, her face changed slightly.

"The time around us has already begun to become chaotic." Xiao Ai said, "If you think about it carefully, do you still remember what day it was the day before yesterday?"

"..."

Gu Meimen said nothing.

My scalp was numb and I almost gasped.

Just as Xiao Ai said, he doesn't remember the specific time of this period at all!

He couldn't help but start recalling his past.

In the vague memory of his mind, starting from the second lawsuit he fought after his debut, the direction of time seemed to have started to go wrong.

There are many details.

For example, in the first lawsuit, the prosecutor's indictment was normal, and it marked the time when the suspect committed the crime.

However, starting from the second lawsuit, no specific time was marked on the indictment for any lawsuit he participated in, whether it was a public prosecution or a civil prosecution.

People selectively forget the time and even replace it with XX, XX, month, XX, year.

There are other details in life.

For example, he said in the first lawsuit that he was going to buy the "Legend of Zelda Kingdom Tears" game released by Nintendo. This game would be released in May, but in fact he had to wait at least two months. , two lawsuits were fought before the game was officially released, and there was no announcement of any delay during the period.

Also, during the cross-water case, he visited a ramen shop called "The Delicious Ramen" (see Chapter 59) many times. There had been a murder in this shop, and people had died.

According to his meager memory of the original work of Conan, this case appeared in the animation, and it should be a unit event very late in the animation.

But this incident had already happened before the water crossing case.

Various details indicate that the timeline is no longer normal.

"This is so ridiculous." After clearing up his thoughts, Gu Meimen couldn't help but sigh, "It's obviously an urban world view, so why does it inexplicably turn towards science fiction? Or is this the Kexue world?"

"Ke Xue World?" Xiao Ai asked.

"It's the scientific world, don't worry about these details."

Gu Meimen paused and looked at Xiao Ai in front of him with interest.

"Before I met you, I remember that time was still normal. I could live like an ordinary person and experience the changes of years. Why did problems begin to appear in me and around me after I met you?"

"Because your and my fate have been firmly bound together."

Xiao Ai said calmly.

"Since the moment I changed my name to Gu Meimenai."

"I see."

Gu Meimen understood.

He had no idea that his violent act would completely change his life like a butterfly.

"So, the drug you studied not only made you smaller, but also affected the time of those around you. Then this thing is too scary."

Gu Meimen originally thought that it was just the kind of genetic medicine commonly seen in science fiction movies, simply similar to "biochemical modification agents".

But now it seems that APTX4869, that thing is a "magic potion" is not an exaggeration.

"When I first joined the organization, I had the same idea as you at the beginning."

Xiao Ai said slowly.

"I thought it was something purely dreamlike and rejuvenating."

"But then I found out I was wrong and what they were really asking me to do was something else."

"They are gods and they are devils."

"They want to turn back time and resurrect the dead."

"This is a stupid thing that most people in the world cannot understand its value, just like those Dolls' Day dolls, which are necessary to exist only for little girls in Japan, a small country."

Xiao Ai said a classic line that has appeared in animation.

"..."

At this point, what else can Gumeimen say?

Gu Meimen could only nod and say the following words with understanding.

"The world of science is very reasonable."

"So you should understand now? Mr. Smarty."

The corners of Xiao Ai's lips raised up, as if teasing, as she looked at Gu Meimen's sighing expression.

"If I stop researching drugs and don't develop a real antidote, we will always be trapped in the torrent of time, unable to move forward until we die completely... No, maybe we won't even see it. The day of death.”
