[Conan Doujin] The Mystery of Theseus

Puzzle1 A story should start with □□□.

This world is very interesting, so interesting that you can easily connect with the intangible world with just a smart device in your hand.

This world is also very boring, so boring that there will never be a lack of events around him, and there will be a moment when he sighs and sighs, "It's really calm today".

Therefore, in boring moments, many people choose to receive interesting information from the outside world to temporarily expand their horizons that will soon return to their original place, and take this opportunity to gain more "interesting" experiences-but as time goes by, The high concentration of fun is gradually diluted into boring.

As the degree of contact continues to increase, people have gradually become numb to new things.No matter how many times you can accurately guess which cup contains the ball, there is no shortage of one or two cats. The limit and unbelievable records that are constantly being broken are enough to set up a museum with expensive tickets.Detective is no longer an identity in a gray area, but with a glamorous appearance, he is dubbed a "famous detective" and is active on the screen and in the headlines of paper media, and the performance video of a genius magic boy with superb skills is just endowed with "super powerful ww" The amazement or the acid sarcasm of "it's too fake to see it is post-processing" is submerged in thousands of "interesting things".

The so-called interesting is not defined by the thing itself, but by the object of observation.

Kudo Shinichi thought more than once, if he was born in a different family background, received a different education, and came into contact with playmates with completely different compositions, what kind of role he would grow into and what kind of diverse possibilities he would have in the future, But there are too many variables, to the extent that "infinity" can be deduced from "infinity", and he quickly gave up this action that has no effect on reality.

After all, life is good enough now.

In the 17 years of smooth sailing, life went smoothly, schoolwork went smoothly, and the family... Although there were unavoidable small quarrels between parents based on the premise of showing affection, it was considered harmonious and beautiful.

All in all, if you dare to complain about this kind of life, it will appear that you are in a state of blessing and do not know the blessing, and you will even attract resentment.He once lamented "Life is so boring" consciously or unconsciously. After receiving the response from his classmate "If your life can be regarded as boring, we ordinary people don't want to live it", he didn't even feel like complaining.

Kudo Shinichi felt very innocent.

The mood of pursuing an interesting life, no matter what platform you stand on, everyone has it.

I just want to see more and more interesting worlds.

The opportunity came quickly.

"Genius magic boy?" Facing Mao Lilan's excited eyes, Kudo waved his hand, "Sorry, I'm not very interested..."

Magic is just a trick to cover the eyes, Kudo couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw those guys who were only a little more flexible in their fingers and had better coordination than ordinary people pretending to be standing on the stage.

Since you don't want to be seen through by others, you should come up with a more exquisite technique, so exquisite that no one can expose it to challenge.

Under Lan's strong request, he also made do with a few magic shows, but after a few times, no matter how good-tempered a girl was, she was forced by his compulsion to "see the puzzle and want to solve it". Sympathetic obsession forced me to almost give up.

Debunking tricks while a trick is in progress is akin to starting a spoiler when a pre-screening ad airs, and it's just as outrageous.

It's the same this time, as long as she repeatedly shows "not interested", she will give up soon.

But this time, Mao Lilan showed the persistence that active female high school students should have when faced with the option of saving or destroying the world.

"Just take a look, you will definitely be interested!"

After extremely reluctantly looking away to see who the so-called "genius magic boy" was, Kudo almost believed it at that moment. The world interpreted it positively to him in this oblique way. There are other possibilities, what his life will develop into.

Ah, if I had been interested in magic at one point in the past 17 years, maybe I would have lived like this... Kudo Shinichi, who believes in the authority of rational thinking, certainly doesn't think so.Just a momentary whim cannot produce such a powerful impetus, and it is impossible to achieve such a magic technique that is flawless at first glance, just by interest.

In just the next second, Kudo decided that the boy he saw at this moment skillfully hiding the white dove in his hand and handing out a rose was not "another possibility", but just in this moment. The "other person" who does exist in the world by coincidence is living "another person's life" in a place that he does not know.

"Super resemblance, right?" Putting away the phone, Lan's tone seemed to be convinced that the video he refreshed was enough to arouse the interest of his childhood sweetheart, "There are still people who look exactly the same in the world—"

That's because it's not someone else but me, Kudo Shinichi, who has this recognizable and beautiful face.Two unknown people with the same face in the vast crowd may never see each other in their whole life.Only when one of them is under the aura of much attention, the other will be "seen" by the masses because of the collateral effect.

Lan just closed his eyes and chose to ignore Kudo's obviously narcissistic, arrogant, and boastful speech, and then began to express his admiration and praise for the superb close-up performance of the young man in the video.And this comparison of abilities in different fields naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of a famous detective with strong self-esteem.

"A magician? What's the difference between that and a clown on the stage?" Shen Xiabanyueyan grabbed the phone, and Kudo decided to show some real kung fu to win this competition—even though he himself didn't know what he was going to win What. "Give me three seconds, and I'll be able to deduce to you which school this legendary 'genius magic boy' is from."

"Is that necessary?" Lan tilted her head as if she didn't understand, "Jiang Gutian...the location below is shown."

If you are a little careless, the Internet will reveal all the basic personal information and even the secrets of the soul in its tyrannical way.

It is not a good thing to be suddenly exclaimed "You look like XXX" while walking on the road.Because this sentence has a major premise, that is, the "XXX" used for comparison often has a higher reputation and popularity.

Ever since a "famous high school student detective" frequently appeared in newspaper headlines and news reports with his arrogant eyes and gestures, Kaito Kuroba's peaceful daily life was destroyed.

Whispers can be heard just walking on the way to school, and the subjects of the discussions are mostly young women.

"Is that the famous detective? Is that Kudo Shinichi?"

"It looks like hey."

"I said, go talk to him! Didn't you admire him a while ago?"

"Huh? No—but I remember... that Kudo Shinichi doesn't seem to live in this area?"

"It seems to be oh, Cannian—"

I miss you a ball of yarn, sir, am I not Kudo Shinichi to let you down like that?Normally, Hei Yu would have to go forward and perform a few tricks that are not gorgeous but enough to win the girl's heart and tell her his name by the way, but he didn't do that that day.

Indeed, the other party was just lucky enough to solve a few cases, but it was too much of a magician's ethics to admit that he was stumped at this level.

One day, let that Kudo Shinichi hear the words "You look like Kuroba Kaito", absolutely.

Kuroba Kaito secretly made up his mind.

It’s not like everyone is holding a newspaper in their childhood sweethearts, pointing to the photos on the headlines and laughing, “Hahaha Kaito, you look alike to him hahaha” and sighing “Why do you have the same face with such a big gap hahaha "Afterwards, he could still twitch the corners of his mouth in a good-tempered manner and say, "Yeah, he's amazing."

Is it because Officer Nakamori also belongs to a similar agency system that Aoko Nakamori, as a daughter, cares so much about celebrities in that field?But magicians are also very powerful, aren't they?

I, no, take it.

"I said, what happened to the video you posted a while ago?"

"It's amazing," Qingzi dug out the unappreciable likes and comments, "Qingzi feels like he's become a celebrity too."

Even so, when Kuroba took this opportunity to emphasize that "magicians are also very powerful", Aoko succeeded in pouring cold water on his head and face with just one sentence.

"But Kaito, you..." she said, "didn't make the headlines, did you?"

People always have a certain liking for existences that are extremely close to themselves, but when the similarity exceeds a certain value and is infinitely close to [-]%, they will avoid them.

When Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito first met each other, their moods were like a powder keg that was about to explode, and they were very upset.

Why do I have to meet that kind of guy... The two of them who both believe that they are "better" in ability and popularity are not even willing to start a conversation.

But after chatting for a few words, they realized that "cases" and "magic" are not the only topics that can be talked about in this world. Their understanding of each other degenerated into the most common high school students, and their communication gradually changed from tit-for-tat to simple. It became more and more unnutritive.

Kuroba Kaito, who doesn't show much enthusiasm for events and unsolved mysteries, will not become a strong opponent that threatens Kudo Shinichi's status as a detective, and Kudo Shinichi, who is so hard at video games with a winning rate of zero, will not be able to do magic tricks. Kaito Kuroba, who has shown talent since childhood.

Both sides have found a psychological retreat very subtly, and still consciously or unconsciously regard each other as an "adversary" in their hearts.

Although they don't understand what they are going to win.Maybe it's popularity, maybe it's the charm that can attract women's attention, but after getting along as friends for a while, both of them admit that having an opponent who is comparable to them is an effective medicine for quickly improving personal abilities.

When Kudo Shinichi shouted the classic line "The prisoner is you", he would be very concerned about whether the volley finger he swung forward was powerful enough.

When Kuroba Kaito performs close-up magic tricks in front of female classmates, he also pays special attention to whether his language and movements have the stage effect to quickly attract the audience.

Everything seemed to have changed, yet remained the same.But what is certain is that the daily life after that, even though it was still a calm daily life, was much more interesting than the silence before even the wind blowing.

A story always needs a beginning, and the protagonist in it often cannot decide that starting point.

Kudo Shinben, who has always been quite self-conscious as the protagonist, thought that meeting Kaito Kuroba, who was infinitely close to himself but clearly existed as an individual, would be the stone that splashed ripples, and a new The beginning of the story.

But the world is always prepared for negative surprises and black surprises, hiding its breath and lurking ahead.

The author has something to say:

Gong Jun has something to say:

When you are struggling with "to write or not to write", write it down first and then make a decision.

This time... This time should be the last time to open a new hole (I hope I don’t get slapped in the face again. Due to various practical reasons, the story this time will not be too long, and the update will not be too frequent.

I just hope that I "have fun writing".

Hope you enjoy this story too.
