Chapter 134 End of the Main Text

"It's really hard for children to say goodbye, especially to someone they're close to," Kuroba Kaito said. "Don't worry too much. For the sake of our brotherhood, wait about ten years until they reach your current height. Then I can disguise you and let you meet them again as 'Edogawa Conan'."

"...Disguise is really convenient." Edogawa Conan said, "But what's the price?"

"What's the price? We have such a relationship, why should we be so polite?" Kuroba Kaito said, "As long as I become a magician in the future, you can help me with magic and we'll be even."

With an assistant like Kudo Shinichi, whose face, voice and figure are almost identical to his, Kuroba Kaito couldn't imagine how happy he would become as a magician.

Conan Edogawa: "Speaking of magic, although I won't continue to arrest you after you become a magician, if your skills decline and I can easily see the principles of magic, I will laugh at you."

Kuroba Kaito: "Sure, you're welcome to buy tickets to my magic show, but if you can't tell, I'm laughing at you."

Kudo Yusaku: "You two brothers have a really good relationship."

"No!"

“Who has a good relationship with him?”

......

"The intelligence we've gathered so far is enough to send the zoo's top brass to justice," Cheng Xiaoyu dropped a bombshell the moment she entered. "Who have you decided will be this enthusiastic citizen?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu.

"I'm afraid not," Kudo Yusaku said. "The information we have isn't complete. We only have enough to convict a few of the zoo's top brass, which is bound to cause trouble down the road."

Even if they obtained more positive attribute blessings, the zoo was a very large organization after all. It was so large that even if they did not torture, it would take a long time and energy just to compile the intelligence.

Not to mention, although they can now use ghosting to erase memories for an hour to refresh information from the zoo members, after an hour, these members' memories, and most importantly, their sanity, will be restored with a single click. They will forget the dizziness and pain just now, but they will not forget the strength of their souls.

Therefore, their tolerance to the stainless steel torture method will be greatly improved, which will make the next interrogation more difficult.

In order to reduce these people's tolerance to stainless steel basins, and in order to avoid going too far and alerting the enemy, those who are already immune to the stainless steel basin's memory recovery technique will be thrown back by the ghost and will not be looked for for the time being.

In this way, although Cheng Xiaoyu and his team collected a lot of intelligence about the zoo, the value and content of this intelligence were not enough for the police to wipe out the zoo in one fell swoop.

"I admit your reasoning is sound." Cheng Xiaoyu pulled out a tablet from the shadows. "But what if I add the information in here?"

Kudo Yusaku took it and opened it, and found that it contained hundreds of intelligence and evidence that they did not have at hand. There was even a list of senior management in the zoo, with full-color photos.

Edogawa Conan: "Where did you get this information?"

Although this was asked, everyone present had witnessed the live broadcast of Cheng Xiaoyu torturing the two curse masters, and could probably guess how this information was obtained.

"It's just a little bit of physical detective skills. Don't worry about it." Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Don't worry, after asking them, I also gave them a full body healing and memory erasure package. They won't even have any psychological trauma. It's time to bring this absurd drama to an end."

Kuroba Kaito: "Are you leaving?"

He knew that the ghost did not belong to this world and should have left long ago, but she was bound here by the causal lines created by higher-dimensional creatures.

But this happened faster than everyone had originally expected.

"It's almost done. If you're sure this thing is okay, hand it over and nothing in this world will be able to restrain me." Cheng Xiaoyu blinked. "Why are you so surprised? Didn't you already know this?"

"I just didn't expect you to say hello in advance... Wait a minute, Hakuba needs to return your books to me." Kuroba Kaito took the bag of books and handed it to Cheng Xiaoyu. "After all, you came and went as fast as switching apps on a phone. I thought you would leave suddenly, just like you suddenly appeared from my shadow in the utility room and scared me."

"He even said 'goodbye' before hanging up. I'm sure I can do that," Cheng Xiaoyu said. "I've already given the Curse World a heads-up. Now all I need are you guys."

The documents in the tablet were categorized in great detail, and Kudo Yusaku quickly came to the conclusion that submitting this information together with the information they already had would indeed put an end to the zoo.

Once the conclusion was reached, there was no need for the humans present to do anything. Cheng Xiaoyu anonymously sent the printed documents to the local government agencies in several of the zoo's largest locations, as well as some relevant departments that had long been aware of the zoo and were investigating.

"Well, that's the end of today." Kudo Yusaku said, "Thank you for everything you have done to save this world..."

"Forget the polite words. Besides, saving this world depends on more than just my efforts." Cheng Xiaoyu swept her eyes over everyone present. "And you, and many more. You've all put in a lot of effort to save your world and the justice you believe in. After I'm gone, you can have a nice champagne party. I specifically told the winery not to use champagne that time because I was afraid they'd max out the buffs if they opened champagne halfway through. Now you can have as much as you want!"

After all this was done, No. 233's voice rang out in excitement: "The last causal link is broken, we can go home now!"

"My work in this world is finally over." Cheng Xiaoyu smiled with relief. Under the gaze of everyone, her body slowly became transparent. She finally said, "Long live the end of work!!!"

“…”

Conan Edogawa: "I suddenly felt the pressure of work."

Even lord-level demons cannot avoid the resentment of office slaves. Will he become like this when he grows up?

"Don't worry." Kudo Yusaku squatted down and patted his son's shoulder, and said to Edogawa's hopeful eyes, "You'll get used to it. This is the adult world."

The adults present nodded in agreement.

Edogawa Conan: "..."

Kuroba Kaito: "......"

There was a moment when I suddenly lost my expectations of growing up.

.......

When Cheng Xiaoyu came out of the transmission shaft, he was sure that he was standing in the company's transmission area. Before he could even catch his breath, he saw a middle-aged man in a white coat, dressed like a scientific researcher, looking at him with a smile.

Cheng Xiaoyu was about to step out of the teleportation well when she retracted her foot: "I suddenly feel that the work I did in the last world was a bit rough. Why not send me back and improve my work?"

"No, the passage to that world has been closed since you left." The man said, "Are you disappointed to see me?"

Cheng Xiaoyu was distraught. "If I had seen you in another area, that wouldn't have happened. But if you're blocking me right after get off work and before I even exited the teleportation shaft—yes! Dr. Contradiction, every time you do this, you're bound to have people working overtime, and you're bound to run into that dreadful timeline issue!"

"Oh, this is such a misunderstanding. That's why I told you long ago that you should apply for a sanatorium," Dr. Contradiction said. "I'm not asking you to work overtime this time. On the contrary, I'm taking you as a tour guide at the resort."

Cheng Xiaoyu still didn't let down her guard: "Where are you going?"

Dr. Contradiction: "Go to the BEN universe. You know that, right? The universe I've been keeping an eye on won't have any major problems that require your intervention. What's more, the universe I'm taking you to already has its resident savior hero. You're really just taking a vacation there."

"Is that so?" Cheng Xiaoyu asked suspiciously, "But I remember that the application for recuperation must be submitted in person, and I don't remember submitting such an application."

"Under the new regulations, if an employee hasn't applied for leave for a long period of time, the company will impose mandatory leave. And if an employee develops a serious health problem, someone else can apply for recuperation on their behalf, and the medical department will approve it after evaluation," Dr. Mao Dun said with a smile. "This is to prevent overworked employees from overworking themselves to death. A very thoughtful policy, isn't it?"

Cheng Xiaoyu: "...Can I ask who submitted the application for convalescence for me?"

Dr. Maodun: "Because you were just recovering from a serious illness and were already doing this demanding work, the moment you started working overtime, the medical department issued a mandatory leave order and a recuperation notice."

It's not an application, it's a notification.

"It seems someone's repeated disobedience to medical advice has left a deep impression on the medical department." 233 gloated. "In that case, go to the ward. Now it's Dr. Contradiction. If you don't go, I'm afraid the head of medical department will come with her hammer."

Since the medical department has spoken, then all right." Cheng Xiaoyu coughed guiltily and walked out of the transmission shaft. "Then please lead the way, contradictory."

......

Bellwood is a city with a pleasant climate, developed economy, complete urban construction and sound public security, so people born here generally do not leave here.

On this day, a new family moved into a community in Bellwood.

She was an Asian girl in her early twenties. She was kind and liked to chat and share food with her neighbors, so she quickly integrated into the community.

One day, Mrs. Tennyson, the neighbor, rang the doorbell of her new neighbor, carrying a plate of freshly baked apple pie. "Ms. Cheng, my family and I all raved about the soup you made last time, so I thought it would be time for you to prepare a return gift. If possible, I'd also like to ask for your recipe."

"Sure, sure. Please come in." Cheng Xiaoyu opened the door and invited Mrs. Tennyson in. "I'm just about to have afternoon tea. Would you like to join me?"

"Really? I'm so lucky to be here! This apple pie is perfect for afternoon tea." Mrs. Tennyson smiled. "I'm very confident in my cooking skills."

Mrs. Tennyson's apple pie was indeed worthy of her confidence. The two of them drank tea and chatted about family matters, and naturally talked about family issues.

Mrs. Tennyson: "My son Ben has been running around outside with his friends lately. I'm happy he's made some good friends, but sometimes he's so engrossed in his play that he forgets about the curfew."

Cheng Xiaoyu used a fork to put a piece of sweet and delicious apple pie into her mouth: "This is youth. Otherwise, when I start working, I won't have the time and opportunity to play."

"That's true. His dad and I have less time to hang out with friends now that we start working. I guess that's the burden of growing up," Mrs. Tennyson said with a sigh. "Come to think of it, you've been here a long time and I haven't had the chance to ask you what you do for a living."

This new neighbor, Ben, has moved in two months ago. Whether it's weekdays or weekends, everyone can see her weeding the garden, studying cooking, taking a walk, or just basking in the sun, which inevitably arouses curiosity.

"I used to catch smugglers and illegal immigrants. As for now..." Cheng Xiaoyu smiled, "I'm taking a well-deserved long vacation and recuperation."

It’s so nice not to have to go to work.
