In the darkness, Sakaki Makoto vaguely saw a blurry shadow standing next to Kudo Shinichi.
Priest attire, Bible...
It was none other than Nobuaki Asakura who had not appeared for a long time.
At this moment, Asakura Nobuaki raised a faint smile on his face and watched the two people hugging each other from the perspective of a bystander.
Compared to the last time I saw him, the figure of Asakura Nobuaki who appeared this time became much blurrier.
Sakaki Makoto twisted his neck, his temple throbbing and his headache started again.
but...
In a moment of distraction, Asakura Nobuaki disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
The headache suddenly disappeared, Sakaki Makoto rubbed his eyebrows and checked the time.
At 9:30 in the evening, a full hour had passed since Conan turned back into Kudo Shinichi, and there were still 10 minutes left.
So far, Kudo Shinichi still looks like he has a bad cold, but other than that there is nothing unusual.
The waiting process for the experiment is rather long, and we must have an approximate time for the antidote to last, otherwise it will become an uncontrollable factor and affect the next plan.
Kudo Shinichi was actually quite happy. Even though he felt dizzy, he was still in high spirits. He looked at his "handsome" face in the mirror, as if he had seen something rare.
but...
Sakaki Makoto was really tired of seeing this face of his.
Who made Brother Kidd look like him?
Ten minutes later...
Snap!
Makoto Sakaki was sitting at the table smoking and planning his trip to Hakone tomorrow with Miss Miyano when he suddenly heard a crisp sound behind him.
Looking back...
Kudo Shinichi, who was originally conceited, fell on the experimental table at some point. His expression was extremely painful, his body kept twitching, and the mirror shattered at his feet.
"Kudo-kun!"
Makoto Sakaki rushed to the experimental table and tested his body temperature, only to find that it was extremely hot. The mercury column had exceeded 40° and was still rising.
"Don't touch him!"
Miss Miyano shouted softly, staring at Kudo Shinichi and said:
"The temporary antidote has worn off, and APTX4869 is taking effect again in his body. This change is semi-permanent. Once APTX4869 is digested by the body, the shrunken person will start to grow again..."
"Is the duration of the temporary antidote so different from APTX4869?"
Swallowing his saliva, Sakaki Makoto asked:
"Generally speaking, how long does it take for the effects of APTX4869 to wear off?"
"It depends on the person. I'm not sure. After all, APTX4869 was just developed not long ago, and I didn't have time to conduct experiments, but..."
A gleam of brilliance flashed in her ice-blue eyes, and Miss Miyano said:
"With Conan's accidental enlargement last time, I was able to develop a temporary antidote. The real antidote can perfectly offset and eliminate the residual effects of APTX4869. Every experimental result is precious."
Conversation Room...
Kudo Shinichi experienced another cycle of hell, as if he was thrown into a frying pan and fried. His skin became red and hot, like a cooked crayfish.
Fortunately, the temperature rise only lasted for a few minutes, and the activated cells calmed down, and the bones, tendons, and organs...
I was forced to become a primary school student.
Kudo Shinichi turned into Edogawa Conan again, and his body temperature returned to normal.
"At 9:45 pm, the subject returned to his original state. It took 1 hour and 25 minutes, 35 minutes less than the expected 2 hours."
Conan, who had experienced transformation once, had obviously become accustomed to the pain caused by the transformation. He opened his eyes slowly and sat up sullenly.
Before he could speak...
Miss Miyano grabbed his arm and untied the bandage.
The wrapped white bandage slowly fell to the ground, and a dark brown blood scab appeared on the wound on Conan's outer arm.
Just a click...
The blood scab fell off, and the wound that was cut an hour ago... disappeared.
"this...."
Sakaki Makoto wiped his eyes and said in astonishment:
“Is APTX4869 so amazing?”
Conan looked at his hands in disbelief and said excitedly:
"If I have enough antidote, wouldn't I be immortal?!"
"You are happy too early."
Miss Miyano poured cold water on him:
"The wound healed because APTX4869 accelerated the body's metabolism during its action, forcing the organ tissue cells to be engulfed, and the gap was blocked with the original intact cell tissue, so the therapeutic effect was achieved."
"But have you ever thought about it? Cell energy is limited. It is not a perpetual motion machine. Every time you use APTX4869 to treat yourself, it will cause great harm to your body!"
"This damage is irreversible, and the side effects are still unknown. In the worst case, it may cause organ failure and death!"
Conan was stunned for a moment and shuddered.
He understood Miss Miyano's metaphor.
The human body that has taken APTX4869 is like a rubber band, which is very elastic and can tolerate a certain degree of pulling. Every excessive pulling will expand the distance between the molecules inside the rubber band, and the brittleness will gradually increase. Sooner or later...
Bang!
Broken.
Internal wear must be taken into account.
"Doctor, how long can I live?"
Conan felt like a terminally ill patient who might die at any time.
"Some people can recover from cancer, while others will die from a cold. APTX4869 does not have any clinical data, so I cannot answer your question."
