Conan: I'm not really a winery boss

Chapter 508 Conan: I'm Not Alive

In the early morning of the next day, people from Chi Jingxiu's group brought back the remaining people from the old settlement.

After that, he planned to search for Minmei and other survivors around the city first.

But he is not alone, the Old World Police including Takagi and Sato, headed by Officer Megure, spontaneously joined the Field Service Department.

Expressed willingness to take the risk of searching for survivors when the distribution of monsters in the city is unknown.

Of course, Officer Megure failed to go, and Shuichi Akai rejected him because his injury had not healed.

But the way he was lying on the hospital bed, wrapped up like a mummy, still struggling to sit up and clamoring to go together, really moved Akai Hideichi.

Before the first batch of members of the Field Service Department set off, Fu Jiang also took advantage of the fact that the base was full of people and delivered an inspiring speech.

This is his "brainstorming", well, it's a speech draft that he thinks about with him while drinking gin.

Although they are all fake things, it is still very useful to mobilize people's hearts.

Anyway, when Fu Jiang's power develops, no one will remember what he promised at the beginning.

Make up something nice and you're done.

After Fu Jiang's speech, Wei Young's eyes flickered red.

Intense applause erupted in the crowd, and Wei Young's arrangement in advance played a role.

It has to be said that in terms of brainwashing, the "charm" of the vampires is much better than the "reign of terror" of the vampires.

One is to change people's thinking, and the other is to occupy people's brains and forcibly manipulate them.

The speech worked surprisingly well.

Not only because Fu Jiang showed "magic", showing the mysterious power that can save mankind.

Man is a creature with a strong herd mentality, and the minority agrees with the majority. This has been the case since ancient times.

Even if there are some other thoughts, when getting along with other people, they will be subtly affected and gradually changed.

Just like the old saying "the one who is close to vermilion is red and the one who is close to ink is black".

……

After the situation stabilized, Fu Jiang began to prepare to send Bourbon, Haibara, and the chief experimental subject Conan to the "Island of Lost Souls".

He kept Wei Young at the base, secretly maintained order, and subtly increased the trust of the masses in Fu Jiang.

At the same time as their own eyes and ears.

The reason why he went to the "Island of Lost Souls" in person was because he was worried that there would be dangers there, and the experiments on the "Island of Lost Souls" could not be missed.

Moreover, his own body is more convenient to manipulate, more familiar, and more risk-resistant.

After everything was ready, Gong Lao's sails were opened, and the whole ship turned into a nearly transparent sea blue, and gradually rose.

The blue sky, white clouds and the city below all became blurred, but within a few breaths, Duke Lao came to the surface of the sea.

According to Fu Jiang's understanding, this is a fairly high-end magic, and the principle is to move through the inner world with a different time flow rate from the outside world.

However, this kind of magic consumes a lot, and with the remaining magic power of Duke Lao, it is impossible to cast it several times.

Because the magic power consumed to keep flying all the way from the "Ark" base to the sea is also huge, so Lao Li elected this more time-saving method.

But after reaching the surface of the sea, it is impossible to waste magic power like this.

"It's amazing no matter how many times." Conan sighed, "I don't know when Dr. Ali will add this function to my skateboard."

"Oh." Fu Jiang laughed.

"Is there anything funny?" Conan Banyue looked at Fu Jiang.

Since he revealed his identity, his respect and dependence on Fu Jiang has dropped sharply.

Probably because he thought it would be disgusting to show his identity and put on a cute kid like before.

"The doctor probably doesn't know magic, right? How could he make magic props for you?" Hui Yuan replied instead of Fu Jiang.

"This world is based on science." Conan shook his finger in embarrassment, "Look, is it because of science or magic that we become smaller?"

Conan asked himself and answered: "Of course it is because of science, but in the eyes of outsiders, this is no different from magic, so magic is actually a kind of high technology."

Haibara didn't know how to refute for a while, because she was a scientist, not a magician.

In fact, what Conan said was also one of her conjectures, but she thought it was unlikely.

She turned her puzzled eyes to Fu Jiang, hoping that Fu Jiang could give an answer.

"Who knows, maybe different routes lead to the same goal." Fu Jiang leaned back on the ship's side, looking at the calm sea with his head sideways.

After thinking about it, he withdrew his gaze from looking at the sea, and said seriously to Huiyuan:
"One day you'll have the answer through research."

"Someday?" Huiyuan lowered her eyes, and after a while, she looked at Fu Jiang with a little speechless eyes.

"The so-called 'someday', are you judging it based on your own lifespan, or taking my lifespan into consideration?"

It will take more than a few decades to study magic with scientific means.

In her short decades of life, even if she can find the right research direction, she is lucky enough.

Perhaps until the moment she died of old age, she would not make any progress.

Fu Jiang laughed a few times in a low voice, "It's both yours and mine. If everything goes well, our life expectancy will be the same."

Huiyuan's eyes widened slowly, and he had an unbelievable guess in his heart, "What do you mean?"

"'Island of Lost Souls' is the legacy left by Alex to me, and unlike me, he is a scientific researcher."

Fu Jiang's eyes moved slightly, "The subject of the research is 'immortality'."

"what!?"

At this moment, not only Conan jumped up on the spot, but even Bourbon, who was lying on the hospital bed above the deck, tried his best to raise his head and ask clearly.

"Could it be that the research materials before the restart of the APTX-4869 project are"

Huiyuan was shocked. Could it be that she had already started studying magic three years ago?

Is APTX-4869 actually a magical product?
"No." Tomie denied Huihara's guess, "Ali is just using the organization, but Ali's experiment must have combined the organization's research data on APTX-4869". "

And this means that Huiyuan can not only find the research materials of aptx-4869 before she participated in the experiment on the island, but also find an enhanced version that combines magic for experiments.

As long as he finds the research material left by Yali, then Huiyuan will probably get new progress in the research of aptx-4869.

Huiyuan pursed his lips, put his hands on the side of the boat and looked at the calm sea of ​​the ancient well, "How long will it take to reach the destination?"

"For normal sailing, one month."

Fu Jiang has already learned the location of the "Island of Lost Souls" from Gong Li.

Otherwise, he didn't need to assign everyone's tasks before setting sail to ensure the stable development of "Ark".

"One month? So long?" Conan's face changed dramatically, "Can't we reach our destination in a swish like before?"

He had never heard that the journey would take a month.

After such a long time, what if some bastard took advantage of his absence to trick Xiaolan away?
"Yes." The moment Conan just breathed a sigh of relief, Fu Jiang sneered, "One ton of gold once."

Conan quacked like a duck with its throat choked.

Bad, he miscalculated.

He didn't expect the cost of magic voyage to be so high.

And this high cost means that it is impossible for Fu Jiang to let them come and go back and forth at will.

In other words, he might not see Xiaolan for several months, or even a year or two?
Wouldn't that be the end of it?

When he goes back, I'm afraid the day lily will be cold.

"Fu Jiangge, Fu Jiang, that" Conan cleared his throat, "Can you?"

He wanted Fu Jiang to take Xiaolan with him.

"No." Fu Jiang rejected Conan indifferently, "She is the deputy director of the Ark Security Department, if you don't understand the gold content of this position"

Fu Jiang took a few steps forward, knelt down and touched Conan's head, the corners of his mouth parted to the sides.

"When the power grows stronger, maybe you should call her the Legion Commander of the Salvation Army, or a more modern commander-in-chief?"

Fu Jiang reckoned that when the influence developed, Qin Jiu would almost give up his position to Xiaolan.

Conan's legs trembled and he almost lost his footing. As a child who doesn't need to worry about the "Ark" power, he has never heard that Xiaolan has such a big official position now.

"This, that's it." Conan's voice suddenly choked up, "Then, Gege Fu Jiang, heck, Fu Jiang, can you help me say something to Sister Xiaolan, Xiao Lan?"

"What?" Fu Jiang asked.

He is still willing to help such a small favor.

"I wish her happiness, I, I am not good enough for her." Conan hid his face and fled.

Fu Jiang, who was worried that Conan would not want to jump into the sea, grabbed Conan's arm.

"Don't worry, you also have a high position in the experimental department of the 'Ark'."

"What position?" Conan lowered his hands covering his eyes.

Huiyuan raised the corners of his mouth, and whispered like a devil, "The chief experimental subject."

Conan stared blankly at Haibara, then turned his head to look at Tomie directly in front of him.

Fu Jiang's stiff mouth was twitching indistinctly, and his eyes were full of gloating and smiling.

Conan climbed onto the side of the boat, "I'm dead, I want to jump into the sea, jump now, don't stop me!"
