Conan and I start the hell-level main line

"Our signature ramen is here!" The female assistant brought two large bowls of steaming ramen with a warm smile and placed them in front of Delina and Natsume Xing.

"According to Miss Miller's habit, we put more dried bamboo shoots for you. By the way, does your boyfriend want the same thing as you?" The female assistant said with a smile between them.

"I'm not her boyfriend, I just need to be normal." Natsume Xing smiled bitterly. Does this store like to ship CP?

Hmm? The bamboo shoots are piled high like a mountain, and the soup is very similar to Japanese tonkotsu ramen, with seaweed and marinated eggs, which looks appetizing.

"Try it. Although the name of their store is a bit strange, the taste will definitely surprise you~" Delina took out two pairs of chopsticks, handed one to Natsume Xing, and smiled confidently.

"Okay, thank you," Natsume took the chopsticks, "I'm going to start eating." (Normal conversation before eating in Japan is a must.)

Pick up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, take a deep breath, and let the noodles slide in your mouth. The sweet soup explodes on the tip of your tongue, the mellow and rich flavor stimulates your taste buds crazily. The noodles are chewy and melt in your mouth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

It was indeed amazing. It was like the blooming of the sun, a collision of deliciousness and heat. The fresh taste and unique flavor, every bite was an enjoyment that made people intoxicated.

Watching Natsume Xing eating with relish, Delina looked at her happy and lovely expression with interest and also slurped the noodles.

In winter, in a warm noodle shop, eating a bowl of ramen is like taking a hot spring bath, the whole body becomes hot and sweaty.

It was so hot, Natsume Xing took off his coat and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's delicious. The place Miss Miller introduced is indeed extraordinary." Natsume Xing praised with satisfaction.

Delina: "Hey, that's right. I know a few good shops. I'll introduce them to you when I have time~"

"Thank you very much," Natsume Xing smiled very casually, but in an instant, his eyes flashed a hint of depth, "Then, Miss Qin Lei, can you tell me why you always peek at Shirley?"

"Oh, this is what you care about." Delina smiled and held her head, very mysterious, just whetting the appetite.

Delina: "How about we go try some dessert? I know a really good one~"

"You care about her a lot, right?"

Delina was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

"You knew she had become smaller and you were concerned about her safety, so you kept an eye on her. Last time, the pickpocket in the mall exposed you, and you didn't dare get close to her. When I showed up, you immediately changed the subject to attract my attention."

"She is the one you really care about, and you are protecting her, am I right?"

Delina didn't say anything, but just lowered her head. There was sadness and helplessness in her eyes. She raised her blue eyes slightly and looked at Natsume Xing who looked serious.

He sighed and pulled out a dozen envelopes from his pocket, which contained several photos.

"Look at this."

Hmm? Xia Muxing's eyes were solemn. He probably guessed what it was. He took the envelope and the contents inside confirmed his guess.

It can also be said to be... a new world.

First photo: The computer shows [槮鷏 Unknown]

There are four photos: On the computer is a small white mouse, a real-time photo that gradually gets smaller.

There are two more pictures, the ones on the computer are identity checks [Edogawa Conan Kuroko] [Haihara Ai Kuroko]

This is!! Xia Muxing's eyes widened. If guesses are just guesses, they are false after all. But now...

Seeing is believing. The organization already knows about Conan and Ai's existence, and may even have discovered their true identities!

"Are you surprised? When I found out that you, Fu Huashi from the action team, were actually the big brother who had been following them, I had the same expression as you." Delina had a blank expression on her face, but her eyes were empty and deep.

Natsume Xing said softly, "The organization already knows?"

Until now, he still couldn't believe that the organization had investigated to this point. It was completely different from the original.

No, this world can no longer be compared with the original work.

But Delina gave a cold smile and said, "No, ordinary members of the organization don't know at all."

"Only the decision-making team and the researchers who studied APTX-4869 knew about this. Even Gin didn't know."

At this moment, in the blink of an eye, Delina once again showed her cold but flower-like smile.

Natsume frowned. What? The decision-making group...

"When did the organization find out?" This is the most important question. Although Conan is a suicide maniac, I have also tried my best to hide their traces. Logically speaking, the organization would not know about them.

Unless... Conan goes crazy and blows himself up.

Delina became serious. "Well, actually we didn't know what happened at first, but... do you know why this medicine was blocked?"

! ! ? The blockade of drug A. . Recalling the sudden situation at that time, and Hennessy's extremely cautious and serious attitude, Fu Huashi had already guessed what had happened.

But the organization's blockade was too strict, and Fu Huashi couldn't get any information at all. Now it seems...

Natsume Xing felt nervous as if the clouds had parted and the sky was clear, looking at the first photo.

"Is it a hawk?"

"Yes, it seems that you have also noticed that the egret has become smaller." Delina confirmed.

This is the most direct reason why Drug A was blocked.

Natsume: "What's going on? Why did the stork take APTX-4869?"

Delina scowled, "He didn't take it himself. We used the drug to assassinate him, but something unexpected happened."

"What...assassination?"

"You should know that the organization has been treating APTX-4869 as a murderous poison for many years. This is because the drug that was originally highly expected has always failed."

"fail?"

Delina seemed to take a deep breath, and looked at Natsume Xing very seriously and firmly, "I will now tell you the organization's secret about this medicine, please keep it secret!"

"Yeah." Natsume Xing nodded. I'll keep it a secret for sure, but I still like to hear secrets.

"The organization researched this drug for the purpose of immortality, and the official development of this drug began with the spring water from Mermaid Island that Hennessy brought back two years ago."

"But for some reason, the original idea of ​​developing the drug was to activate cells and promote cell division, but after adding that spring water, the cells activated as fast as cancer, causing the entire body to be severely overloaded."

"Although this is the direction of our research and development for cell activation, it has actually become a poison."

"Because...ever since the drug was invented, no one has ever survived. All of the hundreds of human experiments have resulted in death."

"The decision-making group began to give up on this drug, so they tricked Gin and the others into using it as a murder poison. This can be considered as making good use of waste."

"Then Shirley escaped, and Team Leader Taketsuru and I looked up Shirley's research, and found this." Delina said, pointing to the photo of the little white mouse shrinking.

"I didn't expect that Shirley had already discovered the special effects of this medicine, so Team Leader Taketsuru reported it to the decision-making group."

"But not long after, the bad news came back. The assassination attempt on Heng Que failed because APTX-4869 was used. Heng Que did not die, but turned into a child."

"The decision-making group has re-emphasized this drug, but in order to prevent the situation of shrinking again, the decision-making group has ordered the drug to be blocked. Now, only a very small number of people with real power and our researchers know about this."

The secret is like a puzzle piece that completes the truth. Although there are still several pieces missing, I can already roughly understand the picture of the puzzle.

Natsume nodded, and suddenly understood, "I see, so you re-investigated the people who used drug A, because you knew they might have become smaller, so you directly investigated their household registration."

"So we discovered that these two people, Conan and Ai, who were not in the household registration files, suddenly appeared, and the time they appeared matched the time they disappeared."

"That's right." Delina nodded. This was how the organization discovered their existence.

Natsume Xing was a little puzzled: "But why didn't the decision-making group tell Gin about their existence? After all, for the organization, they should be the targets that the organization is trying to eliminate."

Delina shook her head. "I don't know about that. I'm just a researcher. How can I know what the decision-making team is thinking?"

The decision-making group, what on earth is this department planning...

"Ms. Qin Lei, how many people in the decision-making group do you know?"

"Ha? Are you kidding? Just like poor people don't know how luxurious rich people are, a nobody like me who doesn't even have the qualifications to communicate with the decision-making group, how can I possibly know what's going on with the decision-making group?"

"I only know that the decision-making group is super mysterious. Where are they and who makes up the group? Sorry, you should ask Gin Bar." Delina shrugged indifferently.

Ask Gin... Haha, Natsume Xing smiled bitterly. If I ask that rigid killer in my current position, I will definitely be threatened by his Beretta. If Gin is in a bad mood, it will be a bullet reward...

"Cough cough." Natsume Xing was still thinking about something. Qin Lei covered her mouth and coughed twice, somewhat reluctantly, but her eyes were full of hope and determination.

"what happened?"

"Natsume, can you promise me one thing?" Qin Lei's pretty face turned slightly red, and her tone was also very tangled.

This... What is this for...

"I noticed that you always stay by Shirley's side, and Shirley is also very close to you. Although I don't know how you, as a member of the organization, can make Shirley take the initiative to approach you and trust you, but..."

"It seems that you are the only one who can help her!" At this moment, Delina's eyes were filled with hope and concern for Shirley.

"What.."

"Natsume, never underestimate the organization. Even if the decision-making group conceals the news, it does not mean that other members of the organization will not find out. They may very well use it to hurt them."

"So, I hope you can protect Shirley and the little boy named Conan!" Delina immediately held Natsume Xing's hand and said earnestly with emotion.

Natsume Xing was embarrassed, "Ah, this..."

"Please, Natsume, I beg you to protect them, especially Shirley. She is the most important friend in my life!"

Natsume Xing was stunned. Protect them? Maybe I have always been like this. They are also my best friends.

Alas... Actually, I would have done the same thing even if you didn't ask me to do so.

Natsume's expression softened, it was just a simple task, and he was about to speak.

Delina's eyes suddenly turned into flowers and stars, "Please~" She really risked everything for Shirley.

"Promise her, promise her!" The chef and the female assistant beside them also watched the fun with great joy, laughing charmingly.

emmm. .

Natsume Hoshi (ー△ー3) No, what do you think I am! . . .
