The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 1360 The Dream of R'lyeh

Under the "unrestrained words" of the three little ones, Mao Lilan's mood was unexpectedly relaxed.

The children's words reminded her of her original purpose of practicing karate, which was not to compete with others, but to protect herself.

Of course, there are now more objects to protect.

Chengshi was also a little surprised and asked: "Xiaolan, do you practice karate? It's really hard to tell..."

"The second place in the entire Kanto region is also very impressive!"

Mao Lilan smiled and said modestly: "I only participated in the female high school student group in the non-professional group, and I am still far from a real professional player..."

"It doesn't matter." Chengshi put down the playing cards in his hand and comforted: "Xiaolan, you are so young, you will still have many opportunities in the future."

"future……"

Speaking of the future, Mao Lilan murmured, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

After this year's sophomore year of high school, the next year will be the senior year of high school, which involves filling out the issue of filling out future aspirations, whether to continue studying, or directly choose to find a job.

With Mao Lilan's grades, it will definitely be no problem to get into a good university.

Although her academic performance was not as good as Kudo Shinichi's, she still had Fei Eri's academic gene and was among the best in her grade.

The university Mao Lilan most wants to attend is her mother's alma mater, Dongdu University.

But to be honest, Mao Lilan has no clear plans for her future and is not sure about the career she will pursue in the future.

As a professional karate athlete, this road is not only long and difficult, but Mao Lilan feels that he is not suitable to compete in the professional arena.

Although after entering the competition, the contestants will instinctively want to get the first place.

But deep down, Mao Lilan does not have the drive to be competitive.

Moreover, Mao Lilan was a little afraid that as the amount of exercise moved closer to the professional level, her figure would gradually get out of shape and she would become unable to appear next to Kudo Shinichi.

So Mao Lilan was determined that no matter what in the future, karate would be just his interest and would not have anything to do with his career.

Except for karate athletes, the most common hereditary system in Japan is to inherit the profession of the parents.

Detective, Mao Lilan definitely can't do it by herself.

Unless Kudo Shinichi opens a detective agency in the future, she can help him start a mom-and-pop shop or something like that.

Lawyer, Mao Lilan doesn't feel like he's very good at it.

Being a lawyer is actually a verbal battle with others, and Mao Lilan feels that she is not suitable.

In addition to Mao Lilan's personality not suitable for competition with others, she prefers to use her hands rather than her words.

Refer to the early setting of Mao Lilan where he would randomly hammer and explode surrounding iron objects if he disagreed...

Apart from these, Mao Lilan could not think of any other career she might pursue.

engineer? Not interested in science...

Accounting? Not Numerically Sensitive…

reporter? I don’t want to be too far away from home…

teacher? I am worried that when I encounter a naughty and disobedient child, I will fall back on the old path of being handsy but silent.

doctor?

Eh? doctor……

Mao Lilan's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked Cheng Shi across the small round table.

"Dr. Chengshi, if I become a doctor in the future, would you recommend me?"

Mao Lilan's sudden question surprised both Conan and Sonoko present.

Cheng Shi was also a little surprised, why did it suddenly involve her future career?

But he quickly calmed down, thought for a few seconds, and responded with a smile.

"Sure enough, I still can't give any advice..."

"Everyone in this world is a unique individual, and their lives are also different. There is no need for others to give advice, let alone to be at the mercy of others."

"All I can say is that from my experience, the profession of doctor has its pros and cons."

"The advantage is that you can enjoy the love of patients, have a relatively good and stable income, and can satisfy your inner desire to save lives and heal the wounded."

“But the downside is that the upfront investment is very high, both in time and money.”

"But from Xiaolan's personal point of view, I believe you won't have too many worries in this regard..."

It is not easy to train a doctor in Japan. Not only must you excel in studies, but the tuition fees and study hours for medical students are also the longest.

The six-year tuition fee for the most expensive medical university in Japan is almost 50 million yen, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary working-class people in Japan.

Chengshi also relied on the death insurance of his parents and sister and the scholarship he earned through hard work to successfully study medicine at Toto University.

However, Mao Lilan's father is a famous detective, so Cheng Shi thinks there should be no worries in this regard.

But what he didn't know was that Kogoro Mouri looked glamorous, but in fact he worked for the Metropolitan Police Department for free most of the time, and he didn't make much money from scattered commissions.

The main reason is that as soon as Mouri Kogoro accepts a large commission, the client will easily die or be sent to prison as a murderer.

Over time, rumors of the "sleeping client of Kogoro Ke" gradually spread in the industry.

Now their family basically relies on the rent collected from the first floor of the office and low-risk commissions such as tracing extramarital affairs to subsidize their family income.

But Mao Lilan's mother, Concubine Yingli, is still powerful. She owns a personal law firm in Tokyo, which is much more powerful than a detective agency.

And no matter how bad it is, there are still husbands who spend a lot of money.

"But in addition to money and energy, it is also a huge psychological difficulty for doctors."

"No matter how skilled a doctor is, he cannot save every patient he sees. In other words, as medical skills become more sophisticated and the number of patients visiting increases, more deaths will occur before his eyes..."

"The more you see life and death, maybe you will gradually become indifferent to the loss of life..."

There is something in the truth, which seems to be telling Xiaolan, but in fact it is also reflecting on his own past.

Looking back now, he was not sure why, as a doctor who saved lives and healed the wounded, he was so crazy that he wanted to kill the three enemies who killed his father.

Hate is of course the most important factor.

But as a doctor, the frequent separation between life and death may have made him feel that taking human life is not too difficult to do.

Doctors are the group of people who value life the most, and they are also the group of people who "disregard" life the most.

After hearing Cheng Shi's words, Mao Lilan also fell into deep thinking, reflecting on whether she could easily accept the passing of life.

Indeed, if doctors could cure all diseases, there would be no more illness and death in the world.

However, when it comes to approaching death, Mao Lilan is now "quite talented".

There was no way, who let a death-god primary school student live in her house?

But at this moment, Conan looked up at Mao Lilan and asked, "Sister Xiaolan, aren't you bleeding?"

"Blooded?"

Fainting with blood is a key issue in whether you can practice medicine.

Mao Lilan thought about the many murder scenes she had seen, many of which were tragic with blood splattered everywhere. She had never been frightened and fainted. She could still scream and call the police in a smooth combo. .

"You shouldn't be dizzy..."

"What about the general education teacher? Aren't you afraid too?"

"General teacher?"

Mao Lilan was a little confused and didn't quite understand what it was.

Chengshi explained: "The gross body teacher is the human body in the anatomy class. He is the 'silent teacher' who helps medical students understand the structure and organs of the human body more clearly and intuitively."

"Remains?" Mao Lilan was so frightened that her face trembled slightly, "Is it really... that kind of thing?"

Cheng Shi nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course."

After Chengshi said this, Mao Lilan instantly thought of the scene of a corpse being disemboweled.

She could accept the intact corpse, but if a knife was used on the corpse, she would feel a little nauseous just thinking about that image.

Outturned eyes, a pile of intestines, a beating heart, bloody fat and silky muscles...

"That's terrible!"

"I don't want to be a doctor anymore. Even if you kill me, I won't be a doctor anymore!"

Mao Lilan quickly gave up this future ambition, and gave up completely.

Conan grinned slightly and rolled his eyes helplessly. As a childhood sweetheart, he already knew that Mao Lilan would never be a doctor.

When it comes to what kind of person is suitable to be a doctor, it would definitely be someone like Haihara Ai who has an indifferent attitude no matter what he looks at.

And Mao Lilan and Haiyuan Ai are simply two extremes.

At this time, Yuanzi suddenly said: "Xiaolan, the expression on your face when you said 'terrible' just now is very cute!"

"If you ask me, you will be an actor in the future, right?"

"You are so good-looking, you will surely become a blockbuster as an actor!"

"If you become a female star, that guy Kudo will definitely fall under your pomegranate skirt and obey your orders obediently!"

Conan gave Sonoko a "haha" look.

Now that he has fallen under Mao Lilan's pomegranate skirt, how can he talk about the future?

But the female star Mao Lilan...

When Conan thought of that scene, he felt a little excited.

After all, every man’s ultimate dream is to find a female celebrity as his wife.

Even decent people like Kudo Yusaku are no exception!

If the childhood sweetheart you like happens to be a female star, wouldn't that be the happiest thing in the world?

The three little ones also echoed, "I also think Sister Xiaolan is very suitable to be an actress!"

"I will definitely become a female star in the future!" Ayumi said excitedly.

After hearing everyone's new proposal, Mao Lilan's expression was slightly surprised.

When she was eating in Yokohama Chinatown, a producer did scout her to be the heroine of a certain movie.

But later the producer died while having dinner. The murderer was the director, and the film matter was dropped.

When she heard that she might become a movie heroine, she really didn't resist and even thought about giving it a try.

Because Kudo Shinichi's mother was once a huge star, Mao Lilan had been in contact with her mother since she was a child, and was also very fascinated by Yukiko's charm and courage.

But she had never imagined what the future would be like if she took this as her future.

But maybe, it's pretty good...

At this moment, Qin Zhibo and Dr. A Li came over with clubs.

"If you are an actor, I dare not say anything else. That boy Kudo must be very happy..."

"What do you think? Conan?"

Qin Zhibo rubbed Conan's head and looked at him with eyes that said, "You're a lucky boy."

The three little ones also turned to look at Conan, only to realize that Conan's face had already turned as red as a bubble teapot.

"Conan, you're blushing again!"

"Conan, you can't like Sister Xiaolan!"

"That's right!"

The three little children's words made it difficult for Conan to come off stage again.

"No, no!"

"I'm not!"

Conan wanted to defend himself, but his defense seemed a little weak amid the laughter of the crowd.

For a moment, the whole entertainment room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest until about 11:30.

Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi's balcony room had two beds, so they could sleep separately.

After a busy day, although they spent it happily playing, it was also very exhausting.

Not long after his head touched the pillow, he heard even breathing sounds on the bed.

When he opened his eyes again, Qin Zhibo actually found that his body was floating in the water.

This was a strange and dark sea.

The gloomy sea water revealed a deathly silence, with only rows of tiny bubbles floating up from the deep black sea below.

It seemed that there was something dark underneath...

Qin Zhibo could not control his body, and he followed the source of the bubbles and swam slowly.

Gradually, the surrounding sea water became more and more turbid.

In the darkness below, countless bubbles were floating up to the sea surface in a regular pattern.

The bubbles were like a black wave, and they seemed to be the unique rhythm of some kind of life form, like the beating of a heart.

Qin Zhibo couldn't help looking down, and saw a dark, but huge city at the bottom of the ocean.

Because it was still far away, he couldn't see the details of the city.

But he could see a hidden huge water film wrapping the underwater city like a sphere.

It was like a protective film, but more like a mother's womb.

It was faintly beating, shaking out a lot of bubbles, as if it was gestating something unclean...

"Huh——"

Qin Zhibo suddenly opened his eyes from his sleep and sat up in bed.

He kept calming his breathing, but he couldn't help thinking about the scene in his dream just now.

What was just now... R'lyeh?

Unlike the previous dreams or contacts, this time he sensed a layer of water film covering R'lyeh, similar to a seal.

The seal on the water film is loosening.

Therefore, the great existence sealed in R'lyeh is no longer a hopeless prisoner, but a "child" waiting for rebirth.

When the seal is broken, it means the revival of Cthulhu.

Qin Zhibo picked up the handkerchief on the bedside table and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, then turned his head and looked at Cheng Shi on the other bed.

Cheng Shi was still sleeping soundly, his shoulders huddled in the quilt, and was not awakened by the sound here.

Qin Zhibo sat on the bed for a while, but decided to go out for a walk.

He took the room card, left the room quietly, and came to the deck.

It was 2 o'clock in the morning, the quietest time of the day.

The still bright cruise ship seemed to be sailing on the black sea full of unknowns, like a small boat in the wind and waves, which could be swallowed by darkness at any time.
