Chapter 2370 2382 [Dark Nightmare]

Huihara Ai: "After I left the organization, the research on Aptx4869 began to stagnate, so..."

"I see." Combined with the abnormal vodka, Conan felt that he understood everything. "So they want you to go back and restart the research. And my life is your token of loyalty to the organization?"

“…”

Haibara Ai felt relieved for a moment: It's so easy to play riddle with this kind of detective who loves to use his imagination. There's no need to even have lines. He will make up whatever is needed himself.

"That's right, but it's not comprehensive." Huiyuan Ai kept in mind the action principle of "letting Conan taste the consequences of exposing his identity and then transform cautiously", and continued with a sad smile, "Not only you, but also your parents, the Osaka detective who knew about the existence of the organization... Before the sun rises, these people who know about the organization will disappear from this world."

Conan looked at him in shock: "Forget about my parents, how did the organization know that Hattori also knew this... did you tell them?!"

Huiyuan Ai: “…”

Damn detective, don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask!

She snorted in her heart and said, "Yes, Dr. Agasa was also taken hostage by them. I'm very sorry, but with my current status as a prisoner, I only have enough power to protect him."

She loaded the "pistol" with a click, and admired Conan's expression of shock and anger: "But to be honest, maybe you should thank me - at least I helped you avoid being dragged away by the organization for human experiments, so that you died without pain, and also allowed you to die before your parents and friends, avoiding you from seeing their tragic deaths."

Following these cruel words, Haibara Ai slowly tightened her finger on the trigger.

Conan's blood ran cold, but he was unarmed and had no confidence in dodging the gun. And even if he managed to dodge this time...how would he save the other people targeted by the organization?

A feeling of despair slowly emerged in his heart, and he watched Haibara Ai pull the trigger.

The next moment, with a hissing sound, water splashed all over his head and face.

Conan: “…”

The mini detective's expression changed from despair to confusion, and then from confusion to a face full of question marks.

Haibara Ai looked at his dazed look and felt happy.

But suddenly, she remembered that she was in the same state in front of Jiang Xia not long ago, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Haibara Ai: “…” No matter what, she was scared again and again, so it was not a loss. The only one who suffered a loss was Kudo Shinichi.

Thinking of this, she gracefully put away the water gun and got to the point: "How about it, are you scared? If your identity is exposed, what just happened may become a reality."

After a pause, Huiyuan Ai changed her words seriously: "No, strictly speaking, it will be even more cruel than that. If a perfect experimental subject like you comes into the sight of the organization, you will definitely not die easily. And other people who know about it will not have any chance to survive. They will all be silenced."

Conan: “…”

It was only then that he came to his senses and slowly wiped the water off his head.

After that, he took a look in the light of the street lamp and fell silent: "..." Well, it was indeed water and not blood. No wonder he felt cool on his head just now. He thought it was an illusion caused by hot blood splashing on his skin.

Finally digesting the fact that he was still alive, Conan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

"If you really have nothing to do, can you go home and write code?" Conan calmed his pounding heart. "Why are you coming here to scare people in the middle of the night? Wait, how did you get in?"

Haibara Ai thought of Jiang Xia who brought her here and helped her climb through the window, and her eyes shifted away guiltily.

She didn't intend to answer this question, so she pulled the trigger again, shooting a stream of water onto Conan's forehead.

While the detective was wiping it in a hurry, Huiyuan Ai said, "I just want to remind you that even if there is an antidote, it does not mean that you can act recklessly as a high school student. If you dare to do anything reckless, then what happened just now will be the result.

"Also, I don't know why you revealed the existence of the organization so easily to that dark-skinned detective in Osaka, but you'd better keep your mouth shut about this kind of thing in the future - this is not an interesting secret at all, but an invitation to death. The more you know, the closer you may be to death."

...Especially don't tell Jiang Xia about this. Jiang Xia has his reasons for pretending not to know. If you tell him nonsense, he might be in trouble.

Haibara Ai finished what she wanted to say and looked down at Conan.

Seeing the detective's lingering fear, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Mission accomplished! With this foreshadowing, Conan should not easily use the antidote given to him by Anonymous to grow bigger.

While the Maori father and daughter were not alarmed, Haibara Ai left Conan who was busy wiping his face and returned the same way to meet Jiang Xia, and then the two figures sneaked back to their own home.

After sending Haibara Ai back to Dr. Agasa's house, Jiang Xia looked up at the house and sighed in disappointment.

Jiang Xia: "..." Huiyuan's acting skills seemed to be a little off, let alone brewing a real killing intention. If I was not mistaken, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. But Conan's look... well, it was not her fault.

"I don't know what Shirley's murderous aura smells like." Jiang Xia took a last look with a hint of curiosity, then turned around and went back to his home through the hole in the fence. "It's not a big deal. As long as you have patience, you will see it sooner or later."

…

Although the two of them went to bed late, they had a good night's sleep because they were in a good mood.

Sleep also seems to be conserved. On the other side, a primary school student who had slept soundly for half the night was now pinching his quilt, tossing and turning.

After an unknown amount of time, Conan, who was frightened to death, finally gathered his thoughts and forced himself to fall asleep.

But before he had fallen asleep for a few minutes, a tall figure appeared in his dream with a sinister smile, pushed up his sunglasses and stretched out his evil hand towards him. Conan kicked off the quilt and woke up from his dream with a start.

He sat up, took a few deep breaths, and finally came to terms with the nightmare.

"I actually dreamed about vodka." Conan tapped his forehead speechlessly. "It's hard to imagine. Not long ago, I thought he was just an ordinary henchman who was easy to deal with..."

"Calm down. It's not too late to know how dangerous he is now. After all, Vodka didn't find out my identity. What happened just now was just something Huiyuan made up to scare me." Conan comforted himself in his heart. "But then again, that guy always appears around us. What is his purpose?"
