"Aaaaaaahhhhhh...!"
Inside the sterile cabin of the police's underground secret laboratory.
Even through the sturdy, bulletproof glass, one could still hear the agonizing screams.
Strangely, the same voice alternates between having different textures when spoken by a child and when spoken by a teenager.
At first, the sharp and loud children's voices had the upper hand, but gradually they became long and low.
Finally, silence returned.
"Luckily, no one else heard us, otherwise they would have thought we were abusing a minor."
Ai Haibara, her eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep, delivered a lame joke without batting an eye.
The person next to him politely smiled and shook his head.
"Us?" He pointed to himself and Ai.
The two children looked to be about 6 or 7 years old and were of similar height.
It is flush with the door lock of the sterile cabin, which is set according to the height of an adult.
"A minor?" He pointed again to the figure in the sterile ward.
The implication was that one person could take on both of us.
The blanket that had previously covered the person inside like a tent is now only covering most of their body.
The figure rolled on the ground due to a strong reaction, with all four limbs sticking out of the blanket.
You can tell he's a boy of average height but with a very slender build.
Sweat-dampened hair clung to his face, obscuring his expression.
"Hey, Edogawa, how are you?"
Ai pressed the button on the door and called into the cabin through the intercom.
"How does your body feel? Is there anything that's uncomfortable, or..."
"No." The boy's voice was slightly hoarse, probably from shouting too loudly just now.
But his tone was light and cheerful.
"I've never felt so good."
"besides……"
He raised his head, tossed his wet hair back to reveal a rather handsome face and eyes full of wisdom.
"Call me Kudo..."
"Shinichi Kudo".
"..."
After a moment of silence with Ai, Takato suddenly revealed a sarcastic smile.
“Kudo-kun,” he winked and said, “next time you say such cool lines, put your clothes on first.”
"Oh no, this is terrible..."
The boy wrapped in the blanket turned red, not just his face, but his whole body.
After a flurry of activity, Shinichi Kudo finally stepped out of the sterile chamber and obediently asked Ai Haibara to examine him.
An uncontrollable smile played on his face.
"Ah, finally!" Ignoring Ai's repeated reminders to "not talk," he exclaimed, "This is the body I'm looking for!"
"I've had enough of being a primary school student!"
"Uh, sorry..."
Suddenly realizing that the two people in front of him were in the same situation as before, Shinichi Kudo stopped complaining with embarrassment and looked at Ai and Takato with concern.
How long should I observe him/her?
"If we confirm there are no problems, can you resume operations now?"
Ai took off the wristband for measuring his heart rate and blood pressure, put away the equipment, and then calmly said, "I probably won't be able to change back in the short term."
Shinichi Kudo nodded.
Despite having Amuro Tooru by his side, shielding him from many troubles, he could still vaguely sense the oppressive presence of that massive black organization.
The girl in front of me, Ai Haibara, Shiho Miyano, or, using the organization's code name, "Sherry"...
Since she betrayed the organization, she will definitely be silenced once her identity is exposed.
She possesses such incredible drugs that can almost control the course of one's life.
“Then,” Shinichi Kudo turned to the other side, “Mr. Takato… no, Mr. Toyama…”
"...Oh no, your name keeps reminding me of that guy!..."
He scratched his head and couldn't continue.
Gao Yuan smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his complaints.
"Call it whatever you want, anyway, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this place until the end of my life."
It was a very poignant statement, yet it was uttered so casually.
Shinichi Kudo frowned, puzzled.
"His constitution is not well adapted to APTX4869...you can understand it as an allergy."
Ai explained that she did not refute anything about "the end".
"Therefore, he cannot take either the original drug or the antidote a second time."
...
"...What?...Shinichi, are you serious?...That's...that's wonderful..."
Clutching her red phone tightly in both hands, Xiaolan disregarded the fact that she was on the street; tears of joy welled up in her eyes.
"What?! I wasn't crying!... You big idiot!..."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
The call ended, but the overwhelming excitement still pounded in my chest, making me want to sing out loud and announce my feelings to the whole world.
Covering her mouth and chuckling softly, Xiaolan burst into tears again.
A man dressed in black walked over from the street corner.
The man was very tall, wearing a black beanie, and had a cigarette in his mouth; he had an unapproachable air about him.
Xiao Lan couldn't help but glance at him again.
The man stopped and looked at her.
“You’re crying again,” he said, his tone as casual as if he were talking to a familiar person. “Why is it that every time I see you, you’re crying?”
If it were a normal Xiaolan, she would definitely say, "Can't I even cry?" or "Who are you?"
However, she was in an extremely good mood right now.
So she looked up at the man and said, "My boyfriend, he's coming back!"
The man was somewhat surprised.
