Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"So, who is this?"

Koizumi raised his eyebrows: "...You don't even doubt the possibility of my split personality?"

She looked at Gin's expression, which had completely returned to its indifferent state, and sighed helplessly: "How boring! I was expecting you to give more interesting reactions."

However, since Gin has adapted well to the sudden appearance of his second personality, he should be able to accept what she is going to say next...

Koizumi reached out and gestured to Sakurai beside him: "Actually, this is the real Sakurai Izumi."

Gin glanced at Sakurai who was taking pictures seriously and frowned slightly.

"In other words, she is Sakurai Izumi after she left the Twilight Annex. And the little Sakurai in your memory is now a part of her soul."

At this point, Koizumi sneered, "A more accurate way to put it is that she is a collection of all the victims of that experiment. The little Sakurai you know is just one of those unlucky ones."

Gin frowned fiercely, and this time he seemed to have real difficulty accepting it.

Koizumi observed Gin's outward shock and said seriously, "Gin, the human experiments that Karasuma Renya has been doing will only be more troublesome than you think."

As a native of this world, Gin probably found it difficult to accept and understand what she said.

So, after saying this, Koizumi stopped adding more pressure and gave Gin some time to think.

As she said this to Gin, Sakurai had already completed her work with quick movements.

While Koizumi was checking the bookshelves and safes, Sakurai was already participating in the entire process of sorting out the documents in front of the light curtain.

For Sakurai, who already knew Koizumi's future plans, she knew very well what Koizumi wanted.

So, after getting Gin's permission, Sakurai immediately picked out the most important information for Koizumi from a pile of documents quickly and accurately, and then took photos for backup.

In less than two minutes, she had finished her work and handed the camera back.

Koizumi checked and confirmed that he had obtained what he needed. After giving Sakurai a confirming smile, he immediately put the camera away.

Well, now that she had the key information and props, she was completely relieved.

In fact, there were only two things she wanted from this information.

First, the list of researchers at Baijiu Pharmaceutical Factory.

Second, the group photo with the researcher’s name marked on it.

It was not for the Miyano couple in the photo, but for another old acquaintance of hers.

Tani Masaaki, or "Asakura Mirai", was only in his thirties at the time.

Or you can call him: Fujiwara Yuto!

This list and photos are irrefutable evidence that Fujiwara Yuto once worked at Hakubato Pharmaceutical Factory under the name Asakura Mirai!

With these, Fujiwara Yuto will have the identity proof he will need when he contacts Karasuma Renya in the future!

Gin sat stiffly, looking at the two identical people in front of him with a sinister gaze, his mind still lingering on Mello's explosive remarks.

Soul body?

A collection of souls and spirits?

Is it possible that supernatural powers really exist in this world?

...Yes, it does exist.

Hasn't Mello shown him many times her various and incredible superpowers?

A different dimension that can store various items...

A tool that can be used to teleport...

Humans become cats...

The ability to split and multiply into two people...

Even coming back from the dead!

And that capsule that turns Chianti into a child.

What are all these?

So what exactly is that gentleman doing human experiments on?

Is that magic circle engraved on the laboratory floor really not just for decoration?

What makes Mello, Vermouth, and the children who were once chosen so special?

What is Merlot, who has all the special abilities in one person?

These incredible facts impacted his worldview again and again.

And now, the "soul collection" mentioned by Melo once again refreshed his three views.

While these thoughts were running wildly through Gin's mind, he was silently observing the interaction between the two Merlots opposite him.

What is certain is that although the two people look exactly the same, Gin can be sure that they must be different individuals.

In Sakurai's words, they have different souls and are not the same person.

The two people did not have any effective verbal communication from beginning to end, but they still cooperated smoothly and their interaction was natural and smooth.

Although we cannot rule out the possibility that they have a special way of communicating, this level of trust and tacit understanding cannot be cultivated in a day or two.

And the micro-expression of relief on Melo's face when he checked the photos on the camera...

It seems that these old materials are really important to her plan.

Gin silently recalled the contents of the photos taken by Sakurai just now, and had already roughly locked on her target in his mind.

A researcher from Baijiu Pharmaceutical Factory?

Miyano Atsushi, or Miyano Elena?

no it's not...

Gin's mind suddenly popped up the two videotapes that Mello had sent him.

That seemingly human experiment...

The surgeon who didn't look like a researcher in terms of both his behavior and his eyes...

His eyes swept over the group photo on the table.

One of these old guys?

Putting away the camera, Koizumi turned his attention to Gin again.

Although this man's eyes were always on her and Sakurai, his vision was out of focus, which was extremely rare. He looked a little dazed. It was obvious that what she had just said had a huge impact on him.

Koizumi couldn't help but hesitate.

In fact, according to her previous plan, she had not intended to explain to Gin to this extent. Today's speech was completely improvisation.

Is what she said a bit beyond the scope?

All along, Gin's trust in her was based on their shared experiences as children, and what she said sounded like she was saying that Sakurai was dead.

...Although the child's condition was not much different from being dead.

But what if Gin asks to meet Sakurai?

Does Sakurai still have the ability to awaken that part of Little Sakurai's soul?

Does the child have the ability to control this body?

The variable has become larger...

She was a little dazed when she felt someone patting her shoulder.

Koizumi came back to her senses instantly and found that Gin had obviously finished his thought process and was staring at her with narrowed eyes.

Gin glanced at the puppet, then returned his gaze to Koizumi and asked in a slower pace, "She is Sakurai, then who are you?"

Sure enough, I can't escape this problem after all.

Koizumi smiled and answered frankly: "I am an outsider. I don't belong to this world. I come from another time and space in 2023."

"name."

"Koizumi."

Koizumi first answered Gin's question in standard Japanese, and then explained again in Neon: "My name is also Izumi."
