Chapter 549 Awakened by Screams

Bechfinger, who was ignored to the side: ...

He shrugged, put away his wand, and patted them on the shoulder. "Alright, stop getting too excited."

After calming down a bit, the two turned to look at Maria, who was still coughing incessantly.

"For now, let's just arrange for her to stay in the annex," Morataya said after a moment's thought, raising her hand to pat Bertrand's head.

The latter nodded with a grin.

While they were testing Maria's role, Akemi Miyano had already finished sewing up the Scottish tunic behind them.

Glancing at the obvious stitches on his body, Morataya waved her hand at him, and a shower of shimmering powder fell on him. The next second, the stitches disappeared.

Scotland slowly opened his eyes, got up from the specimen table, and looked at Bertrand.

Bertrand smiled, her eyes crinkling, then pulled a stack of mission documents from her bag and shoved them into his hand. She then patted him on the shoulder. "Alright, these are all yours now, Su-chan~ Good luck!"

Scotland glanced down at the mission documents in his hand without changing his expression, then looked up at Bertrand with a gentler gaze. "Okay."

Behrfinger glanced at Scotland a few times, crossed his arms, shook his head, and clicked his tongue. "They're all just disguises, all clones. Why don't I have any subordinates to command? It's enough to make any clone jealous."

“And… I’m the one being bossed around!” Behfinger exclaimed, jumping up and down.

Molataya shrugged, patted his head, and said, "Alright, everything's fine here. You can take Xiao Ye back now, Asti."

Beher Stefanger: "..."

He let out a breath, dragged Bertrand away, and casually teleported away.

After taking Bertrand to the safe house, Behringer released him and turned to leave.

Walking down the street, Bechfinger fell into thought.

Where should we stay tonight?

...

Liu Qingyao brought out a cup of hot drink from the kitchen and handed it to Qianzhu. She then took an extra blanket and covered him with it before turning on the television.

After taking a sip of hot cocoa, Qianzhu's gaze fell on the television program that was playing.

01 and the little white dove nestled beside him and fell fast asleep.

The backlash from the magic caused him discomfort in his heart, making it difficult to fall asleep, so he decided not to sleep.

However, the backlash was not as severe as before, so there was no need to consume magic potions.

Qianzhu put down the cup in her hand, took out a notebook from the system space, and opened the first page to read, but her eyes were slightly unfocused and empty.

It was already midnight when Liu Qingyao, who was sitting to the side sketching in her sketchbook, suddenly put down what she was doing, got up and left the Qianye residence.

The sound of the door opening and closing brought Qianzhu back to his senses. He picked up the cup of hot cocoa, took a small sip, put the notebook on his lap, turned to another page, and took out a pen to write a few words in the notebook.

"..."

Inside the small inn where the main characters were staying, the only sound in the quiet was the occasional sound of someone sleeping soundly.

A streak of white, standing out starkly against the black, flashed by swiftly.

A few minutes later.

"ah--!"

A scream that seemed to pierce the sky rang out.

Conan, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened. He sat up abruptly and found that Ai Haibara and the other two children had also been awakened by the scream.

Only Professor Agasa and Genta were still snoring.
