[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

Darkness can increase people's fear. I stood alone at the door of the office. The light source was facing the room to facilitate detectives to investigate the agency. There were dark corridors on both sides. I couldn't help but stare at the darkness that the light could not reach.

Are those rustling noises that come from time to time in the darkness really just the noises made by mice, as the detective said...

All kinds of horrible fantasies began to crowd into my mind without my control. My body became more and more tense, and goosebumps fell and popped up again, one after another, starting from the soles of my feet. It hit my spine and was numb all the way to the top of my head.

The detective finally signaled from the office that I could come in. Before he could finish his words, I rushed to his side and grabbed the hem of his suit tightly.

Even though I was so promising, I was almost scared to tears by my fantasy.

He was stunned, and touched my head apologetically: "I'm sorry, I scared you, I kept you waiting for a long time."

I shook my head, trying to calm my trembling breathing, and handed him the wolf-eye flashlight.

Probably because I finally returned to him and was touched by him, all the fears of loneliness, darkness and the unknown that I had just brewed in my heart finally began to ebb.

I gradually calmed down and regained my sanity, then I remembered to apologize: "Well, just now, I'm sorry... my concentration was not strong enough... I just exposed you to that level of danger..."

It was obviously to practice my acting skills when dealing with Toru Amuro, who was wearing another person's skin, that I always insisted on treating him as a real Detective Motegi... But I didn't expect that my self-control ability would be so poor after being frightened.

"It doesn't matter, this is the first time, let's take it slow." He comforted me while rummaging through the boxes, "And, to be honest, I actually quite like that feeling."

I was confused: "What does it feel like?"

I couldn't see his expression in the darkness, but I could hear the smile in his words: "It's the feeling that your heart is full of me and you are nervous because of my danger."

As if by magic, he was able to pull out a piece of old brown paper from the bottom of the drawer in this empty office that had obviously been cleaned up, and said in a light tone: "I feel very happy just thinking about it. .”

The dust started to rise, and I couldn't help but sneeze. Before my mind could process the information contained in his words, I heard him call me in surprise: "This seems to be a map of here."

I rubbed my nose, and my attention was immediately brought to the piece of paper: "Really, Ah Sneeze—really!?"

This underground building is large and complicated. Before we came here, we had passed several forks in the road.

It would be much easier if you had a map.

I curiously glanced at the hand-drawn map from 40 years ago...I didn't understand it.

In addition to the very complicated floor plan of the dungeon on that piece of paper, the blank space was also filled with long and obscure words in English that reminded me of Teacher Judy. Scrawled handwriting.

I can only roughly see that the entire dungeon is roughly in the shape of an irregular circle, divided into three equal parts like cutting a cake.

The detective pointed to a string of slightly larger and neater English words on one of the cakes and asked me: "Do you know what this means?"

I scratched my head in utter shame: "I don't know..."

"Mycenainterrupta." The detective read it out fluently, and then started to educate me, "This is the Latin scientific name of a poisonous fungus called 'Dazzling Blue Mushroom'. The color of the cap of this fungus is extremely bright indigo. Color, there is a legend that after eating them your eyes will turn blue, they also have a nice common name called 'Pixies' Parasol'."

I opened my eyes wide: "Elf's Wutong...?"

"Yes." The detective gestured to the sector where the English sentence was located. "In other words, the experiments conducted in this area 40 years ago are probably the predecessors of the experiments the organization once conducted on you."

I followed his instructions and looked at the understated fan shape on the map, and suddenly felt shuddering.

I never expected that this hell on earth would be inextricably linked to my body.

I originally thought that "Elf's Sycamore" was just an insignificant, ridiculous and funny topic in the organization that was abandoned. Now I realize that it once held such an important position in the organization.

The dark dungeon under the boss's house occupies a full third of the board.

The reason why it has been valued by the superiors can only be because it has already developed results that can attract the attention of the boss.

So what is that outcome?

Moreover, if it was once so valued, why did it end up with the results that even the experimental subjects were destroyed and the restless researchers were silenced, so that I was the only surviving experimental subject left in this world? It’s over.

...No, am I really the only human being involved in this research?

A year ago, Belmode reminded me...not to let people in the organization see my blue eyes.

I bit my lower lip, suppressed the anxiety in my heart, and asked, "What are the experiments on the other two fan-shaped pieces?"

The detective pondered for a moment and answered rigorously: "This piece of paper does not clearly state the specific contents of the three studies here, so I will only state my inferred conclusions."

I said "um".

The detective said: "I think these two studies are experimental studies on 'rejuvenation' and 'immortality' respectively. Now, nearly half a century has passed, the results of these two studies are reflected in Kudo's new [-]. On Miyano Shiho and Belmode."

I opened my eyes wide and felt that my outlook was once again washed away by "Ke Xue".

It's unbelievable... Of course Conan and Xiao Ai correspond to the "rejuvenation" effect of the medicine, so is Belmod really an immortal?

However, the fact that human beings have shrunk and regressed back to their infancy is unbelievable...

The detective had no intention of further discussing this topic with me. He quickly folded the piece of paper into a small square and put it in his arms. Then he took my hand very naturally: "Let's go, I know how to get out. But Before I leave, there is a place I want to visit first."

I was startled and said "hmm" again.

He glanced at me: "What are you laughing at?"

"Oh, am I smiling obviously?" I covered my mouth with my free hand.

"Because...Zero took the initiative to hold my hand, and I feel very happy when I think about it." I tilted my head and answered him with the words he teased me with just now.

The detective also laughed: "I thought you didn't hear what I said, you counterattacked so quickly."

"Hey." I said, "That doesn't mean you didn't hear anything."

After finally returning to the surface from this hidden underground world, I took out my phone and looked at the time.

Less than an hour had passed since I left the living room.

Walking in the unfamiliar and depressing darkness can really make people feel that seconds seem like years.

I went back to the living room first, and everyone was still there, divided into two groups: playing cards and playing pool.

I walked towards the poker group where the women and Conan were, and I heard Xiaolan scream: "This, this card has blood on it!"

Everyone was attracted by her scream.

The old lady Detective Qianjian pushed up her glasses: "It's really troublesome. I didn't expect that even the playing cards were stained with blood... But didn't the maid just say that the things in this annex have been changed since the tragedy in 40 years ago? , it has remained the same and no one has touched it.”

Xiaolan looked frightened: "So... this happened in the living room..."

The door to the living room was slowly pushed open.

The maid bowed to us: "Sorry to disturb you, dinner is ready, and my master is waiting for you in the restaurant."

Uncle Maori said: "Hey, but Mr. Motegi went out for a walk and hasn't come back yet..."

Detective Motegi poked his head out from behind the maid with a playful smile: "I'm back, Mustache."

I touched Xiaolan's head, who was obviously frightened. She finally saw me and immediately hugged my arms tightly. She opened her big clear eyes and complained to me: "Really Ruri, why did you disappear like this?" Jiu, where did you go?"

——The little girl’s coquettish and complaining tone is so cute!

My heart softened, and I whispered to her ear: "I have diarrhea."

She narrowed her eyes suspiciously: "Does it take so long to have diarrhea..."

"Yes," I said with a smile, "I probably ate something bad this morning, and my stomach has been feeling uncomfortable today."

Her suspicion immediately turned to worry: "Are you okay?"

"It's all right."

Xiaolan sighed: "That's good. But this villa is really uncomfortable... I have no appetite at all now."

"Yeah, I don't have much appetite either." After staying in that dark and smelly underground city for so long.

I touched her head empathetically.

Listen to the dummy with a hood and a tape playing on it talking about the treasure hidden in this villa and the melon from 40 years ago, listen to the detectives deducing that the "phantom child abandoned by God" is Kidd, and listen to everyone parked outside The car was blown up, and finally the gourmet detective Da Shang Zhu Shan was poisoned and died suddenly. This is all the impression I have of this eventful dinner.

No matter how delicious the dinner is, I have no appetite.

After dinner, the detectives rushed out to see everyone's cars. As he passed me, Detective Motegi whispered to me: "Go wash your hands."

I took a look at the body of Da Shang who died of potassium cyanate poisoning, and I felt relieved. After hearing what he said, I originally wanted to drag Xiaolan along, but she had already run outside with the crowd.

Damn it, forget it, the little heroine can’t die anyway.

But knowing that I had deadly poison on my hands, I couldn’t help but care about it, so I turned around and left the group and went to the bathroom.

After making sure that the poison on my hands was completely washed away, I finally walked out of the bathroom. Just as I was about to figure out where to go next, I met the white-horse detective with an eagle on his hand.

He stopped and greeted me with a gentlemanly smile: "Hello, Miss Amuro, this annex is very dangerous now. Why are you acting alone?"

Now I can no longer just casually ask someone I just met to "call me Ruri" like I did when I was a kid...

I scratched my head: "Isn't Mr. White Horse also acting alone... By the way," I sincerely suggested, "Would you like to wash your hands too?"

The beautiful boy was stunned for a moment, and the polite smile on his face showed a hint of sincerity: "Thank you for your concern, I have already washed my hands."

"Ah, that's good." I nodded and couldn't help but look at the majestic and beautiful eagle. Its sharp eagle eyes were staring at me for a moment, "Then, where are you going? ?”

"I'm going to go up to the roof to feed Watson and let him fly." White Horse Detective said, "Do you want to touch him, miss?"

I opened my eyes wide and looked at him excitedly: "Can I?"

So I picked up the eagle that I had been secretly thinking about for a long time.

It can be seen that this is an exquisite raptor that has been carefully cared for and raised. Its feathers are neat and sharp, and a warm and vibrant touch comes from the palm of my hand.

"It's so beautiful." I admired sincerely.

Bai Ma Tan smiled gently: "Very few girls are interested in birds of prey."

"I like animals." I said, and I gently stroked the eagle's back fur. It wasn't until the eagle shook its body impatiently that I withdrew my hand with satisfaction, "Thank you!"

"It's my honor to make the lovely lady smile happily." The young gentleman bowed lightly to me, "Then, if you have had enough fun, please go back to the crowd. Girls are here. It’s too dangerous to go alone in this place, so I’ll leave first.”

"I know." I couldn't help but wave my hand, "Bye~"
