Chapter 77 Dark Clouds, Go Away - Candy Apple Yes, I didn’t…
Lin Xi’s expectations were not disappointed.
Not to mention failure, she was really shocked.
In the scientific world, not only does physics no longer exist, but it seems that chemistry and biology are also in danger.
But when you think about APTX4869, which makes Conan and Ai shrink, and the "Dead Water" that makes Gin and Rum - ah, and now Madeira too - immortal, these drugs with strange effects don't seem so outrageous.
It's still pretty anti-scientific though.
For example, this scar removal cream, just apply a little bit, and within a week, no matter how hideous the scar is, it will disappear without a trace.
Gin had mentioned this to her before, but she only saw it today.
Seeing this, Lin Xi wanted to speak but hesitated, and finally couldn't hold it back:
"Has the organization never thought about entering the beauty industry?"
If it were any other novel, this would be the time to make a fortune.
Madeira: "Ah. Rum told me that. He said you'd definitely ask that. We actually have a cosmetics brand, but it's more high-end, targeting high-income people... That's what Rum said. I'm only responsible for researching my medicine."
Lin Xi: Rum, he really is, she cried to death.
There is no rum in this house.
Next is the flying fish balls. (Note 1)
The same anti-scientific thing - within a quarter of an hour after eating it, your swimming ability will improve, your breath-holding time will increase, and you will swim faster in water.
Lin Xi:?
Isn't this really a game prop?
Then there is Thousand Flowers Powder.
This is a poison, and it's extremely toxic. Anyone who takes it will suffer from ulcers all over their body, bleed from all seven orifices, and die within 4 to 7 days.
There is no antidote yet.
Lin Xi: What a vicious medicine.
Then there is the Bone Spirit. (Note 2)
This medicine is in liquid form and will help broken bones heal quickly after drinking it. Just be sure to align the bones properly, otherwise they will become deformed.
Lin Xi:?
Wait, this feature...
Isn't this exactly the same as the one in her backpack!
There are even more strange drugs, such as drugs that cause amnesia - there is nothing special about causing amnesia, but this drug combined with special hypnosis techniques can actually make people forget special people and things.
There are also drugs that cause mental disorders, drugs that make people's physical strength stronger for a short period of time but then enter a period of weakness, drugs that repair nerves, truth serums, and drugs that allow people to see in the dark (Note 3)... In short, there are all kinds of strange and varied things.
Lin Xi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Madeira has not been idle these years.
Could it be that the organization...
Is she really the only one who is a loser?
"In addition to these drugs, we also have APTX4869, which we're primarily researching," Madera said, pushing up his glasses. "It does have the effect of rejuvenating the body."
"But the probability of rejuvenation is extremely low, and I've never succeeded in humans—there are only a limited number of test subjects available—if you hadn't specifically instructed me back then, I wouldn't have pursued this research. Generally speaking, taking APTX4869 results in rapid death, with no cause of death being found, and no toxins remaining in the body."
"How's it going? Isn't it amazing? Even though Rum says he dislikes the uncertainty of APTX4869, he still often uses it for assassinations."
Lin Xi: It’s really magical. If I hadn’t known this setting earlier, I would have been symbolically surprised.
But now...

"Ah," the young man's head drooped when he saw Lin Xi like this, "It seems you had anticipated this result a long time ago. I really didn't succeed in giving you a surprise..."
Lin Xi: ...
Although I knew he was pretending, my conscience still condemned me.
"No," she said stubbornly, "Seeing you again after such a long time is already the biggest surprise for me."
Come on, who’s afraid of who? Let’s hurt each other.
Madeira: ...
Woo woo.
He changed the subject: "Teacher, aren't you going to do a paternity test? Come over here."
Lin Xi reached into the system space and took out two small sealed bags.
One sealed bag contained a half-burned cigarette, and the other contained two curly hairs.
The cigarette was leftover from Shuichi Akai. She had taken it from him at the Mineta Gumi factory, when she held out the ashtray to Shuichi Akai, signaling him to put out his cigarette.
So don’t smoke in front of her unless necessary, it will make you unhappy... Gin never smokes in front of her.
The hair was obtained by touching Sera Masumi's head.
She remembered that they were brother and sister in the Conan plot, but the system did not show it, which made her a little uncertain.
So I want to confirm it.
"It will be quick." The young man took the small sealed bag from Lin Xi's hand. "Teacher, just sit here and wait for a while. There's juice on the table."
Lin Xi glanced at the juice on the table.
No ice cubes, bad review.
Seeing the young man walking away, she hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the kitchen to see if there was any ice.
This was a large research institute, and like Baijiu Pharmaceutical back then, it had a deep basement. The researchers in white coats hurriedly coming and going reminded Lin Xi of her time as a researcher.
She got excited and took out a pair of silver-framed glasses from the system space and put them on. She also took out a white coat and transformed herself into Researcher Lin.
It's just that the researchers here all look quite busy, while she is strolling leisurely, holding a juice in her hand, as leisurely as if she is shopping.
He walked along the stream, looking around until he suddenly stopped at a corner.
She looked at the brown-headed girl in front of her in surprise.
Is this... Xiao Ai?
Just as she looked over, the girl raised her head.
It’s really Xiao Ai.
Is the system broken? She clearly put on a special mark, why doesn’t it show on the map?
Lin Xi thought about it for a moment and understood:
The person she tagged was Haibara Ai, not Miyano Shiho.
...Really, but isn't Miyano Shiho the same person as Haibara Ai? The system is so rigid, it doesn't show the names if they're different, making her think that Ai isn't in Japan in this timeline, but studying abroad or something...
Before she could speak, the little girl looked over with a wary look.
Although the little girl didn't say anything, her body language and facial expression clearly showed her rejection.
Lin Xi: ...
Ying.
Are you serious about taking a half step back?
Small movements can cause so much damage~
She sang a few lines sadly in her heart, but she was also happy to see Xiao Ai.
She glanced around. Hmm, no one's paying attention here.
Then he quickly took out a bright red candy apple and handed it to Miyano Shiho.
"Nice to meet you, Miyano Shiho. The one before you now is AKA Nicholas Bing Liuli Murong Caijingdie Lin Shibahara. You can just call me Shibahara. And this in my hand is the Supreme Ruby I found in a secret realm shrouded in danger and filled with poisonous fog. Eat it, and you will gain superhuman powers!"
Miyano Shiho: ? ?
Her eyes turned to sympathy.
Is this an experimental subject that escaped from some laboratory?
His brain has been made stupid by the drugs, so pitiful.
Lin Xi, who received the sympathetic gaze, said: ...
It’s over, a failed appearance.
She decisively changed her strategy, put the hand that wasn't holding the candy apple behind her back, and coughed twice. "I was just joking. This is the candy apple I bought at the snack street. Want some? It's very sweet!"
Miyano Shiho looked at the candy apple in her hand. The red apple was covered with sugar and looked shiny.
She raised her head and said decisively, "No."
Who wants to eat food given by a stranger?
Where did this subject steal the candy apples from?
Her sister took her to the snack street, which was quite far from here, so she didn't believe this man's nonsense.
Then she saw the expression of the person in front of her darken visibly.
He looked like he was deeply shocked.
Big green eyes looked at her sadly, and the hands behind his back dropped.
Miyano Shiho hesitated.
Oops, was she too decisive in rejecting it?
Such a silly experimental subject must be bullied in the organization, right?
Maybe if he sneaks out, he will be caught in a short while.
She looks so sad.
Xiao Zhibao decided to take the candy apple first and then secretly throw it away after the man left.
She didn't see that Lin Xi's mouth was twitching from trying to hold back laughter.
Oh my god, Ai is so easy to fool at this time.
If it were Ai five years later, she would definitely have seen through her pretending to be pitiful.
