[Conan Doujin] The Mystery of Theseus

Puzzle25 makes women wait is the absolute best thing to do.

Perhaps out of some predetermined harmony, even if the innocent butterfly hadn't flapped its wings, a leaf falling from a branch might change the direction of the air.For memories that should exist but are missing for no reason, the brain will fill them up with other content on its own.

Everything is impeccable, everything is flawless.

Laughing and indulging in self-indulgence before the deadline will definitely usher in the consequences of liver exhaustion on the deadline.If you skip class and enjoy a free afternoon without being disciplined, you will definitely get double punishment from the school and your parents afterwards.Everything is arranged.

——And it's the best arrangement.

But if the God who made the world were not the same, the direction of the first factors would have been different from the beginning.

When the two protagonists arrive in Tokyo, it is still a while before lunch time.The city near noon seems to be a little lazy by the sunlight, and even the pace of pedestrians in the field of vision is slowed down like a close-up shot.

At the tram station, Edogawa swiped the card machine and walked towards the endlessly turning escalator, then stopped and looked at Kuroba behind him in puzzlement. "The tram you took home... shouldn't be in this direction?"

No matter what he looks like, he is still a high school student with the ability to survive independently, and it is not for others to worry about riding the tram home alone.

"Well, even though I was called out by you this time," it was undoubtedly impolite to block the escalator, and as Edogawa walked up the escalator, Kuroba pulled off the belt on his shoulder, "But outsiders It seems that it is undoubtedly 'intimate brothers traveling'." He shrugged, "If you get lost, I will be responsible."

Edogawa gave him a supercilious look.

"Don't look at me like that," Black Feather, who really caught the chill running up his spine, pushed his hands immediately without intending to belittle the other party, "Well, I'll just send you back to the office like this. Ms. Lan said hello." After the escalator ran to the end, he took a small step forward and stood on the ground, "Mr. Conan who travels alone has someone to accompany him, so Ms. Lan should worry less, right?"

"She won't be so worried." Edogawa just continued to walk forward, "Besides, I sent her an email beforehand."

This time, he didn't cut it first and then played it. He did ask for permission carefully, and he did come back unscathed.

"Have you sent an email?" Fortunately, it is not the rush hour, and there are not many people on the platform waiting for the tram to enter the station.Sui Edogawa stood in a corner where the crowd was relatively sparse, and Kuroba inadvertently raised his head and glanced at the timetable a few steps away, "By the way, she didn't object to this kind of nonsense plan..."

"Why do you think she didn't object?" "Isn't it natural?" Edogawa said with a bit of disgust in his face, "Why do you think I called you out instead of a Anyone looking for Hattori?"

Before taking the risk, it is natural to prepare a shield first.

The tram pulls in.

Hearing a certain elementary school student's proud shield announcement, Kuroba, who had already stepped into the carriage with one foot, suddenly wanted to go home.

The shield is ready, however...

"Kenan-kun, why didn't you answer the phone?!" The two who wanted to share their travel knowledge with others hadn't knocked on the door of the office before the door opened with a premeditated "bang".It's a pity that what appeared behind the door was not the smiling girl when they reunited after a long absence, but an active female high school student who was angry a few hours after being released as a pigeon.

"Huh? Electric...phone?" Edogawa, who hadn't expected such a scene, was stunned.

"What date do you think it is today? You agreed to come back after a day of fun?"

"Which country is this? American time?"

Problems ensued.No matter how good the brain is, in the face of this inexplicable situation, the calculation overload is on the verge of crashing.

Edogawa's thinking is still stuck on the original question, "But I didn't..."

I didn't get a call.In the past few days, neither the mailbox nor the communication records have been very quiet. I have not received any special news, let alone any fatal serial calls.

"You still dare to quibble?!" The girl in a bad mood was stronger than usual.Raising Edogawa's left ear in an extremely skillful way, Mao Lilan's familiar and natural anger can be said to be deeply transmitted by Yukiko, "I don't want to say in advance if I want to spend the night outside? Do you know how worried I am?!"

Kuroba, who wanted to help Edogawa with a few words, was suddenly speechless.

Didn't you tell her you were staying overnight? !He questioned silently with his eyes.

Of course I told her!Edogawa, who was also silently looking back at him, was filled with grief and indignation.

"If Hattori-kun hadn't called me to tell me, I would have hung up the phone and called the Lost Children Center!" Edogawa grinned in pain at the moment when his ears were pulled, but Kelan had no intention of relaxing his strength at all, "No more in the future." To cause trouble to other people's family without authorization, you know?"

So Hattori told her in the end...

Hattori, goodjob!

The distressed two gave Hattori a big praise from the bottom of their hearts.

"Well, maybe it's because of the delay in the signal, Na...Conan-kun's email wasn't sent in time," Kuroba intervened in this embarrassing educational scene, "Now that you're back safely, then--"

Hei Yu, who had successfully exposed her own existence, was too late to get out and escape.

The strength in his hands finally relaxed, and Edogawa immediately jumped aside covering his ears.As Lan silently turned his eyes full of resentment, Hei Yu, who was being stared at, couldn't help shaking.

"I thought you would be more reliable than Shinichi, Kuroba-kun," the angry female high school student spoke like a king of hell, "The result is not even half a catty!"

"Yes... yes?" Hei Yu, who was shot innocently by the arrow, stood up straight and clasped his shoulders.

"It's fine with Conan, even you disappeared after playing with him? No matter how you contact him, you can't contact him. There's no way to trust him!"

"I..." I obviously didn't receive a single call, did I? !Nodding to accept the criticism without tears, Kuroba's silent cry burst out in sync with Edogawa.

"Really," Lan Hen shook his head resolutely, "If Conan follows the two of you, he will definitely be led to hell! He's already a high school student, so can't he be more reliable?!"

The two who were named and criticized could neither defend themselves, nor did they find a place to appeal.They were ordered to sit and meditate, and they were taught by the angry girl non-stop for more than an hour, as if they had gone through a deep and thorough baptism of the soul.

"Ah—ah, why do I have to be scolded together..." That night, when Heiyu returned home, he still had lingering fears when he recalled the hour-long sermon on hell.

"It's really embarrassing to say, you are a traitor." Edogawa was obviously very angry when he received the call, "You actually found an excuse to escape... Are you still a comrade in arms like this?"

After Kuroba, who served as a shield, left, Edogawa, who had no cover, was preached even worse.

"But I don't want to be lectured, like a child." Even though he tried his best to remember, Heiyu couldn't remember clearly, how old was he last time he was lectured so harshly.With the mobile phone on the phone under one shoulder, so that he could tear open the package of cup noodles with both hands, he turned his eyes away, "How is it, how is Miss Lan feeling now?"

"She was so angry, and she still hasn't calmed down." Deep helplessness was buried in her tone, and Edogawa's deliberately lowered voice was obviously hiding something secretly talking on the phone. going to be banned."

"Don't blame me for everything, elementary school students should stay at home." Hei Yu said that he would not take the blame.

"Ah, I'm a primary school student. I'm really sorry. But..." Although being lectured for three hours was exhausting, Edogawa did not forget what he should pay attention to. "Well, what do you think?"

"...Which one?" He poured hot water into the cup noodles, and Kuroba paused.

"The news was sent." Edogawa's eyes sank, "I did tell Lan via text message about staying overnight at Hattori's house."

"But she didn't receive it, and we didn't receive the call she made." In terms of the degree of rarity, this may be comparable to a supernatural event. "Didn't we... travel to some other world?"

"How is it possible, Hattori can still get through the phone." Edogawa still lowered his voice, "I think the problem may be on us."

"us?"

"Yes, we." Affirmative tone. "According to the original plan, I was supposed to accompany the uncle to investigate the case, and you can catch up with that exhibition..." Edogawa coughed lightly after passing the word "stealing gems", "But We weren't there, the slot was vacated."

"It's empty..." Chewing on Edogawa's statement, Kuroba quickly thought of a reasonable explanation, "It seems that...even if the character's texture is forcibly deleted from the system, the position of Lihui will still be empty Is it there?"

"If you have to say that, there is nothing wrong..." What is a sticker?Edogawa, who didn't want to expose his ignorance in the game, didn't ask any more questions.

"So we who went to Osaka temporarily are 'outside'...." Kuroba was silent for a short moment.Before he could speak again, a voice that did not belong to Edogawa reached his ear directly through the earpiece.

"Con-nan-jun?"

There was a harsh noise across the other end of the receiver, as if the phone almost slipped to the ground and was picked up again.

"Well, it seems that your problem hasn't been resolved yet," Kuroba raised the corner of his mouth gloatingly, and lifted the lid of the cup noodles in a good mood, "Then in order to avoid the limelight, I won't contact you for a while."

This guy, got cold feet again!Resentfully, he exited the phone from the "call ended" interface, and Edogawa took a deep breath to welcome a new round of preaching.

Fortunately, everyday is still everyday.Nothing has changed and that is enough.

"Still laughing? Are you provoking Conan-kun?!"

This kind of daily life is enough.

However, as if in response to some flag, after that call, he never heard from Kuroba again.

It is as if social existence has been completely wiped out, and all connections with the outside world have been cut off. Whether it is a mobile phone or a social account, it all presents a dead silence like outside the circle.

Completely lost contact.
