The sky was overcast and the sun was not visible, but it was a bit stuffy.

The weather has been really terrible these past two days. On the way to Grand's residence, Xiaocheng couldn't help but complain a few words.

It has been three days since he came back from Kyoto, and he has not been to Gran since then.

Today, while Conan was out for a walk in the garden with Ran, he went to the professor's house to discuss matters related to growing bigger with Ai.

To put it simply, it was the experience of Conan turning back into Shinichi again at Gyokuryūji Temple. Ai needed Conan, the little white mouse, to tell her the detailed experience so that she could improve the blue and white capsule from it.

In front of Grand's house, Xiao Cheng still didn't have the habit of knocking on the door or ringing the bell, so he just climbed in.

At this time, Zola and Gran were playing games while the other was tinkering with artificial intelligence.

Xiaocheng came behind Zola and watched him typing on the keyboard with a strange look in his eyes.

I wonder why there are strings of code data next to the game interface. Are you, Zuola, cheating in the game?

"Is it fun to fight like this?" Xiao Cheng couldn't help but ask.

"What? It's okay. This game is too easy. I cracked it in just a few seconds." Zola looked back at Xiaocheng, then turned back to stare at the screen.

Oh~ It's a child. Really, Gran has a child at home? Uh... Hey... Is there something wrong?

Oh my god! Zola quickly turned to look at Xiaocheng, with confusion in his eyes. Whose child are you from and how did you get here?

"Where is Ge Lang?" Xiao Cheng asked without paying attention to his expression.

"He...uh...he's in the laboratory." Zola's mind was still a little blank, what a strange child.

"Oh, okay, I'll go find him first, and we'll have a meeting later." Xiao Cheng nodded, and regardless of the messy Zola, he went to find Gran.

A room called a research room.

When Xiaocheng came here again, he saw Ge Lang with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes. I told you before, you are not Hiroki Sawada, and artificial intelligence is not your field.

"How's the research going?" Xiao Cheng asked out of politeness.

"Ah? Oh, it's okay. Give me a little more time and it will be fine." Ge Lang turned his head and looked at him. He was gradually getting used to this kid's ghostly appearances.

"How are you getting along with Zola?" Xiaocheng said.

"There's not much in common. I didn't know him originally, and I've been doing research and development here these days, so we haven't said much." Ge Lang took off his glasses, stopped researching, and stretched.

"Do you think I should confess to him directly, or say something?" Xiao Cheng pondered whether he should tell Zola directly about becoming smaller and the purpose of research and development.

"It doesn't matter, actually. He will find out sooner or later. However, if you're worried about him, you can hide it from him for now and tell him later." Ge Lang saw Xiao Cheng's worry.

Xiao Cheng nodded thoughtfully after hearing Ge Lang's words, and then said, "Go out first, let's have a meeting first."

The team was officially formed and the three of them had their first formal meeting. Some things still needed to be made clear.

Otherwise, why would you let Zola work and earn money? Within a team, it should be mutually beneficial.

But now, apart from providing Zola with a shelter, the small town can’t think of anything else to give Zola.

But the shelter is actually not very important to Zola, because with Zola's ability, he can find a very secret place to hide.

It is not easy for ICPO to find a completely hidden hacker.

According to Zola, he must have been caught by the National Security Bureau in the country because of his humiliation, and then exposed, which led to the ICPO people coming.

Forget it, let’s gather in the living room first and call Zola as well. The three of us will gather in the living room for the first team meeting.

There was silence on the field, no one spoke, Xiao Cheng was a little embarrassed, what was going on? Finally, he broke the silence and said the first sentence.

"Ahem..would you like to introduce yourselves?"

"Can you introduce yourself first?" Zola's eyes were still confused. Who is this kid? Where is Person Zero?

"Edogawa Kojo, just call me Kojo. I am currently the head of this team." Kojo felt a little awkward. Why did this sound wrong?

"What? No, where's Zero?" Zola couldn't believe it. You told me that the little brat in front of you is the team leader? ?

So when Zero mentioned a team of three people, he was not included?

When Xiao Cheng saw Zola, he realized that he must be feeling a little ridiculous. His eyes sank slightly, and murderous aura gradually spread from his body.

"As you can see, you can also treat me as Zero." Xiao Cheng thought about it carefully and still felt that it was not good to hide it from Zola.

He was able to come to Tokyo by himself and join this "three-no" team.

That means he is here for Zero. If I don't explain it to him clearly now, who knows what he might be thinking.

Hearing Xiaocheng's words and sensing the murderous aura from Xiaocheng, Zola's eyes almost popped out, but before Zola could speak, Xiaocheng spoke again.

"I once told you that you can rest assured when you come to Japan. There is some truth in this. My transformation into a child is the best example. However, I cannot do this for the time being. It will take some time."

"Wait, turn into a child?" Zola felt that his worldview was somewhat shocked.

"Don't interrupt me. Listen to me. I am indeed Zero. You can be Zero's alter ego. You can ask Gran for the details after the meeting."

"As for becoming smaller, it's because I took a drug. You can ask Gran for details. Now, our three-person team is officially established, and maybe more people will join us later."

"I'll sort it out now and assign everyone's responsibilities." Xiao Cheng retracted the murderous aura from his body. It was impossible for him to explain everything to Zola one by one, so he waved his hand to signal Zola not to speak.

"It's mainly you, Zola. Gran's main task right now is research and development. You may not have heard of his name, but he is the head of the God's Hand independent research team."

"Zola, as for your mission, it's very simple. The team is currently short of money. Your mission is to provide funds for the team intermittently. Of course, the reward is to become smaller and completely avoid the pursuit of ICPO."

Xiao Cheng made a big promise, but to be honest, the risk of shrinking was too great. The drug 4869 had a very high mortality rate, so he was a little hesitant to give it to Zola.

But he has nothing to give Zola at the moment, so he just paints a big picture. Rejuvenation and becoming a child again must be attractive to Zola.

As for whether Zola believes it or not, he must be full of doubts now, which is normal, but he will believe it later.

"Also, our team doesn't have any rules. Normally you can do whatever you want, but we are all in trouble, so sometimes we just have to be honest."

He then briefly talked about some team matters and finally talked about life assistants.
