Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Everyone smiled unconsciously as they watched the warm atmosphere between Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan. The sunlight shone on them, adding a layer of warm gold to this beautiful scene.

Kudo Shinichi was moved by this kiss and wanted to get closer to Mao Lilan. He leaned forward slightly and locked his eyes with Mao Lilan.

However, just as he was taking action, the item that delayed the effect of the drug was about to expire. Beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his body was aching.

Kudo Shinichi then recalled Haibara Ai's advice not to do anything too intimate, otherwise the drug would lose its effect. He didn't want to make Mao Lilan worry at this time, and he didn't want her to be involved in danger.

Kudo Yuki had been paying close attention to her brother's situation. She quickly walked forward, leaned close to Mouri Ran's ear, and whispered a reminder in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Ran, Shinichi's time is up. The situation is not good. I will take him away first. Don't tell anyone about this, including Suzuki Sonoko and Sera Masumi."

Mao Lilan nodded sensibly and agreed, with a look of concern in her eyes, as if to say, "You must take good care of him."

Kudo Shinichi endured the increasingly intense pain in his body, took out his cell phone from his pocket, took a look, and pretended to be calm: "I'm sorry, Xiaolan, a client called me and asked me to help investigate an urgent case. I can't accompany you anymore. Sister, let's go first."

After saying that, Kudo Yuki quickly walked up to Kudo Shinichi. Seeing his pale face, her heart tightened and she grabbed him and ran away faster.

Masumi Sera looked at the brother and sister running away, his eyes full of confusion. The two disappeared around the corner, leaving only silence.

Suzuki Sonoko complained with dissatisfaction: "What is this bastard doing? Xiaolan has an expression that looks like she's looking forward to a kiss. He really doesn't understand romance."

Mao Lilan's face instantly turned redder, she covered her cheeks with her hands and changed the subject: "Did you all see it?"

"Yeah, you two are so sweet, it's hard for us not to notice you." Suzuki Sonoko's attention was successfully diverted, and she approached Xiaolan with a sly smile. Her eyes were shining with gossip: "Xiaolan, don't be shy. Tell me, were you very nervous just now?"

Suzuki Sonoko's face was filled with excitement, as if she had just experienced a romantic movie scene.

Shira Masumi frowned slightly, "Then why did he run away? What did Sister Xue tell you just now?"

Mao Lilan smiled gently, hiding her inner worries: "Shinichi said that a client called him to help investigate the case. Sister Xue didn't say anything special, just told me not to worry."

Sera Masumi obviously didn't believe it and looked at Mao Lilan suspiciously: "Is it really just like that?"

Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko pulled Sera Masumi's arm. She didn't want Xiaolan to be unhappy because of this matter. "Oh, forget it, maybe Shinichi really has something urgent."

Sera Masumi shrugged helplessly: "Well, I hope so." After that, she chased after him without hesitation.

At the same time, Kudo Yuki took Kudo Shinichi to a remote and deserted corner.

Kudo Shinichi could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath: "Sister, why is the effect of the drug so short this time? I feel like my body is about to be torn apart."

"I told you before that the duration of transforming back to your original body will get shorter and shorter each time you take the semi-finished antidote."

Suddenly, Hattori Heiji came over with a backpack. Kudo Yuki quickly put the shrunken Kudo Shinichi into the backpack and said, "You wait here, I'll drive the car nearby." After that, she left.

When Kudo Yuki appeared at the gate of Kiyomizu Temple again, she saw Sera Masumi asking an old monk in the temple about Kudo Shinichi's location.

The old monk narrowed his eyes, his face full of confusion: "A wandering high school student?"

Sera Masumi took out his cell phone and showed it to the old monk. The photo on the screen was exactly Kudo Shinichi: "There is a boy who looks like this. Have you seen him? Has he ever left here?"

The old monk leaned in to look at the photo on his phone and studied it carefully for a while: "I don't know. There are so many students coming here for study tours recently. I am old and I really don't have any impression."

"Okay then." Sera Masumi dropped his hands in disappointment, had to give up, turned around and prepared to continue searching.

Hattori Heiji saw Sera Masumi and thought he had to send her away quickly, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Looking for Kudo, I just saw him running to the other side in a panic, did he go to the bathroom?"

Sera Masumi suddenly became interested and came to Hattori Heiji: "Go to the bathroom, but I'm curious, why are you carrying a backpack?"

Hattori Heiji was so panicked that he said, "What's so strange about carrying a backpack? I'm going out to play, so can't I bring some things with me?"

Sera Masumi teased in a teasing tone: "It looks heavy. Let me see what's inside?" After saying that, he stretched out his hands as if he was about to check, waving his hands in the air, eager to try.

Kudo Yuki walked quickly to the two of them and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

This sudden voice scared Sera Masumi directly. She turned her head quickly and saw that it was Kudo Yuki. She patted her chest and said, "Sister Xue, you suddenly spoke and scared me! My little heart almost jumped out of my chest."

"Stop making trouble here and go back quickly."

Sera Masumi looked at Kudo Yuki and Hattori Heiji suspiciously, his eyes moving back and forth between their faces, trying to find a flaw: "Are you hiding something from me? Why do I feel like you're acting weird today?"

"Go back quickly, I have something else to do and will not keep you company." After saying that, Kudo Yuki gave Hattori Heiji a look, indicating "Follow me".

Kudo Yuki no longer paid attention to Sera Masumi, turned around and left, followed closely by Hattori Heiji. Sera Masumi stood there hesitating for a while, and finally left.

Kudo Yuki and Hattori Heiji walked to a remote and quiet place and stopped.

Hattori Heiji had a puzzled look on his face: "Hey, Kudo, has that girl with fangs already known your true identity? I always feel that the way she looks at you is not right, revealing a sense of inquiry."

Conan poked his head out of his backpack: "Yeah, that's not good. Maybe he has noticed something."

Kudo Yuki looked at her brother with concern in her eyes and urged him, "Get in the car first. It would be bad if others found out."

Hattori Heiji quickly put his backpack on the back seat, and the shrunken Kudo Shinichi climbed out of the backpack and sat on the back seat. He turned on his phone and prepared to send a text message.

Kudo Yuki sat in the driver's seat, looking at Conan's message through the rearview mirror. The message on the screen was addressed to Mao Lilan, and it read:

Sorry, Xiaolan, I really want to stay with you for a while, but I suddenly have to leave for something urgent. However, I am really happy to hear your reply, thank you. - Kudo Shinichi

After Conan confirmed that everything was correct, he clicked send and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hattori Heiji sat in the passenger seat, adjusted his sitting posture, and fastened his seat belt. As Kudo Yuki started the car, she teased, "Oh, you still remember to send a message to Xiaolan at this time, you are really affectionate."

Conan's face instantly turned red: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, I just don't want her to worry."

Hattori Heiji laughed at the side: "Kudo, don't explain. Explanation is just covering up."

Conan rolled his eyes at the two of them helplessly: "You just know how to make fun of me."

The car sped along the road, and the atmosphere inside the car became a little more relaxed.

Kudo Yuki looked solemn, holding the steering wheel with both hands, looking straight ahead: "Brother, Sera Masumi now suspects that you have the antidote for that drug.

According to the large amount of information I have read, once she is sure that this drug really exists, she will definitely grab it at all costs. "

Conan frowned, his eyebrows twisted into a deep "川" shape, and thought for a moment: "I can only take one step at a time and try to be careful and not let her catch more handles. But if I want to completely avoid her pursuit, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Hattori Heiji then reminded: "There is also the antidote. We must find a way to improve it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you always suddenly turn back into a child like this, not only will your body be unable to bear it, but every time it will be like walking on a tightrope. It is too dangerous."

Kudo Yuki's eyes turned gloomy, and she looked at Conan with a smile: "Brother, don't take that half-finished antidote again! You take risks like this without considering the consequences. Wait until it is truly developed before you restore your original identity.

If you continue like this, I can’t guarantee that the next time I see you, I won’t meet you in the place I least want to see you.”

Conan looked at Kudo Yuki's angry and worried expression, feeling guilty: "Sister, I know I was wrong, and I won't be so reckless again."

Hattori Heiji also hurried to smooth things over: "Sister Xue, don't be too angry. Kudo also wants to recover as soon as possible. Let's think of a solution together. We can always solve these problems."

Kudo Yuki tried to calm down: "I hope so. I have to be more careful next time."

There was a brief silence in the car, and everyone was preoccupied.

After a while, Hattori Heiji broke the silence: "Kudo, I was really anxious at that time. You shrank so small in front of me and Sister Xue. I said, you should at least give me some hints and let me know before you shrank. My heart can't stand such a big shock."

Conan held his forehead helplessly: "How can I have the time? The situation was so urgent that I didn't expect it myself, and I also had a lot of troublesome things to deal with."

At this time, a message from Mao Lilan came over. Kudo Shin took a look at it and his mood instantly became much happier.

Hattori Heiji turned his head with curiosity: "What happened? Look how happy you are."

Conan said with a smile: "If you didn't see it, then forget it." He deliberately kept the secret, with a bit of pride on his face.

Hattori Heiji curled his lips and said perfunctorily: "Yeah, I didn't see anything. The intimate kiss between you and Sister Xiaolan on the Shimizu stage, I really didn't see it at all." He deliberately emphasized the word "kiss" and had a smirk on his face.

"You saw it, didn't you? At that time, I... I just acted subconsciously. Oh, don't talk nonsense." His face turned red and his eyes were a little evasive.

Hattori Heiji saw Conan's panic and laughed even louder: "Haha, Kudo, don't be embarrassed. You're obviously very happy in your heart."

"You bastard, if you keep talking nonsense I'll be really angry."

Kudo Yuki interrupted, "Alright, alright, you two stop messing around. Brother, what did Xiaolan send you?"

Conan was a little embarrassed: "Xiaolan said she was very happy and would wait for me no matter what happened."

Hattori Heiji looked envious and helpless: "Ah, what an enviable couple."

Conan snorted, "Stop being sour. Go find Toyama and confess your feelings to Ye. You always fail at the crucial moment. If you keep dragging your feet, be careful that Ye will be snatched away by someone else."

After saying that, Kudo Yuki drove the car to the entrance of Poirot Café. Hattori Heiji and Conan got out of the car, Kudo Yuki waved to them, and drove the car to the back door of the secret weapons base.

The three of them walked into the store. Enomoto Azusa was about to say hello, but she saw Kudo Yuki making a gesture to keep quiet. She immediately understood and nodded slightly. Kudo Yuki ordered three set meals, and then the three of them sat on stools in the corner.

10 minutes later, the food was served, the steaming food exuding an enticing aroma. However, Conan was absent-minded, his eyes fixed on his phone, and he was grinning foolishly at the text message sent by Mao Lilan, his mouth almost reaching his ears.

Seeing him like this, Hattori Heiji waved his hand in front of his eyes, trying to pull him back to his senses: "Hey, are you listening? Kudo, stop grinning! You have to treat me to steak, not the cheap stuff, but the big, juicy, big, delicious steak that's still dripping with blood."

Conan came back to his senses, "I know, I will treat you to a meal, don't worry."

At this moment, Kudo Yuki's phone vibrated slightly. She received a reply from Kudo Yukiko. The screen read:

Oh my, these two kids are so cute! Xiaolan is so charming when she is so brave. Shinichi is a lucky boy. Haha, it seems I will have a good daughter-in-law soon.

A smile appeared on Kudo Yuki's face, and she showed Conan the photo and text of Mouri Ran and Kudo Shinichi kissing each other that she had sent to her mother.

Conan took the phone and saw the photo of himself and Mao Li Ran, and a blush appeared on his face.

He handed the phone back to Kudo Yuki: "Sister, why did you send this photo to mom?"

"Of course such a beautiful moment should be shared, and my mother will definitely be very happy to see it."

Hattori Heiji joked: "Kudo, don't be shy, that was a sweet moment for you and Xiaolan."

"You are just a guy who knows how to make sarcastic remarks."

"Sis, I'm going to stay at your place tonight." Conan suggested, "Hattori, you can go back after dinner."

After that, the three of them finished their meal, and Kudo Yuki brought Conan to the secret weapons base. She placed Conan in the bedroom and went back to sleep.
