"Gray Plains, answer me quickly."

"Ashbaranda?"

The ethereal call seemed to come from far away, and Gray Yuan Wai only felt a headache.

She seemed to be drowning in a deep black sea, the cold liquid soaked her mouth and nose, her body gradually sank, and the sound from the sea became farther and farther away.

But the deep sea is not dead and silent.

Another high-frequency buzz sounded, like a television station with no signal at midnight, and an extremely sharp and piercing sound: "Drop-"

Gray Plains Wai opened his eyes suddenly.

The humming is not an auditory hallucination, but a sound wave that diffuses in the air.

She seemed to have inhaled some kind of narcotic gas, and her whole body was as soft as cotton, and her plain and clear mind was groggy.

As she stood up with her forehead on the verge of exploding, the buzzing in her ears briefly faded for a moment, then resounded.

…… Mosquito sound?

Gray Plains quickly recognized this frequency.

Mosquito sound is a general term for a type of sound with short wavelength and high frequency, and the function of the human ear gradually changes with age, and only people under the age of 25 can hear these sound waves.

In front of some 24-hour convenience stores in Tokyo, in order to expel the hordes of thugs and get them to leave as soon as possible to prevent safety risks, some businesses will play mosquito sounds after dark.

The Detective Corps badge was still vibrating, fearing that it would be taken away, and Gray Hara's mourning hid it deeply, waking her up not from Conan's call in the badge, but the high-frequency sound waves that diffused in the air.

She pulled the badge out of her pocket, and the volume inside was suddenly a little louder.

"Gray Plains, can you hear me?"

In the hallway across the wall, an anxious Conan said to the badge.

The positioning of the glasses showed that the absolute distance between him and Gray Yuan Ai was very close, but even the last two or three meters, he was never able to cross.

There is a gap between the corridors, and the rectangles that divide the roads are the rooms in the laboratory. Conan's red dot ran around the Gray Plains for a week, and the nearest place was here, but the road was impassable.

The metal walls are smooth and cold, and there is not a single trace of the door cracks.

Conan guessed that Gray Plains was in a room separated by a wall, but he couldn't find the entrance.

Luckily, the man on the other end of the badge woke up.

“…… Kudo? ”

"What's going on over there?" The situation was urgent, Conan asked quickly and shortly.

The hallway was empty and quiet, and a single footstep was enough to splash an endless echo.

Now there is no one around him, but the absence of people is the most worrying. The unknown is the greatest fear, danger lurks in the middle of nowhere, and you never know where it will come from.

It may be that in the next second, the sensor door will be pushed open by another passing figure.

In the badge, Gray Yuan's voice was still a little ignorant, and she said, "I seem to be in a room in a research institute,...... There are no doors or windows. It's white all around,"

"It's a metal wall, isn't it?" Conan interrupted her, "There's no fixed light source overhead. Is that so? ”

Gray Yuan paused: "Yes." But there's more,"

"I'm on an operating table right now."

*

Operating table?

Conan was stunned when he heard this.

The corridor is really space, all the way over, except for the empty aisle, Conan didn't see anything, he thought that the entire underground world was so empty, but he didn't expect that there were things that matched the characteristics of the institute around Gray Yuanai.

The two-meter-long countertop, on which Gray Yuan Wai was lying, only took up a small space. She staggered twice and jumped from above.

"As for what happened...... Think about it. It seems that at the time of the meeting, a wave of children ran over, and Ayumi and I got separated. Then ......"

A hand that came from behind and caught off guard.

Ether's handkerchief covered his mouth and nose, and Ash Yuan only had time to struggle twice, and the last thing he did before losing consciousness was to push the detective group badge in his pocket deeper

Place. "I didn't see the man's face clearly. ”

"The person who kidnapped you should be a member of the Order, codenamed Pisco." Conan said, "Remembered? ”

The end of the gray plain was silent for a long time.

"I haven't seen him." Finally, she said, "He seems to be a businessman, and some people say that he is an entrepreneur who succeeds by organizing it." ”

"But my sister knew, and he funded her education."

Conan was in his mind. Ashbara's account coincides with his own speculation from the photographs, that Pisco knew the Miyano couple, and may even be their friends during their lifetime.

But the sister in Gray Hara's mourning mouth, Akemi Miyano, has passed away, and Conan doesn't want to remind her about it anymore, so the topic changes: "Don't talk about this." Pisco isn't here, but he could come back at any time, Ashbara, you be vigilant. If you look around the room, can you find the entrance? ”

A metal wall glowed with white light, and Gray Plains walked over to it.

When I came to the wall, I saw that this was a hidden access control device, it had no physical buttons, like a projection, and the faint light on the wall outlined a rectangle, which was a fingerprint verification area.

Gray Yuan Ai stretched out his hand and tried, verifying the error, and the white light turned the red of the warning.

“…… There is no access privilege. ”

Shirley had defected to the organization for so long, and it would be the most incredible thing if her authority was still retained in the Institute. Gray Yuan Wai did not feel disappointed, but Conan said dejectedly: "The door seems to be in another corridor, wait, I'll come over now." ”

If the area between the corridors was a rectangle, Conan's original position was on a long side. This is the absolute closest to Gray Plains, but when she wakes up from the operating table and walks to the curfew, her red dot is instead in the center of the long side on the opposite side.

"The most important thing now is to get you out. It doesn't matter if we don't have access, we can always find a way. ”

Gray Yuan said softly: "Forget it." ”

"Kudo, you must hear what is next," she unconsciously tilted her head to the sky, "the 'AP' of APTX-4869 that rejuvenates us refers to the abbreviation of apoptoxin, which means program cell death. To put it simply, cells have their own self-destructive function, and by suppressing the information of this function, life can survive. *”

She rarely makes long statements about her research, and most of the time she spends herself alone in the basement, silently tapping on the computer, magically making box after box of antidote. First, the personality is like this, Gray Yuan Wai doesn't like to communicate too much with humans, and the second is that Conan can't understand these biomedical terms.

From her unusually rambling, Conan heard a certain tone of explaining what was going on, and he paused: "Okay, Gray Plains......"

"However, this drug can not only stimulate the phenomenon of program cell death, but also increase the orchestration reaction, which affects the proliferation ability of active cells. *”

"Don't talk about Gray Plains! As long as you escape, I'll do whatever you want in the future! ”

Conan's voice suddenly became sharp, he ran through the long corridor, a snow-white space, only the sound of hurried footsteps echoed, such a voice made him panic: "Look at the top again, are there any ventilation ducts......

"Don't you understand?" Gray Yuan said calmly, "Kudo, if I don't guess wrong, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to talk to you again in my life." *”

*

Conan's footsteps slowed and his cadence slowed until he finally stopped.

He stopped at the end of the hallway, and the sensing door opened, but Conan didn't move.

He seems to have briefly lost his ability to comprehend language.

The voices in the badge went in and out of the left ear and out of the right ear, and the syllables were syllables, which were combined to become long sentences that he could not understand at all.

He said, "What are you talking about?" ”

The question also seemed to float from a long distance.

"I've shrunk back into a child, but they've caught me, and they've recognized me. Even if you can get away with it now, what's the use? "Gray Plains' voice is still calm,

The tone is very soft.

"In Didan Primary School, my file is clearly recorded. Flee now, in less than two days...... Within half a day, they would be able to find my whereabouts again. And at that time, it was not only me, but also Dr. Asasa who had taken me in during this time...... And you, you. Anyone who has anything to do with me, in order to keep the organization's secrets, will ruthlessly eradicate it with their own hands. ”

Gray Plains lifted his face, the ceiling above him softly lit. Not being able to look at the blue sky again before she died made her a little regretful.

"Wherever you've gone, don't move forward. When you get back, remember to remind Dr. Asa to leave immediately, and hide as far away as possible. You're elementary school students and you don't understand anything, so they shouldn't be able to do anything to you. ”

"Also, bring me a word for Ayumi. …… Let's just say that I go to a far away place and contact them when I grow up. ”

Conan opened his mouth, but found that he could not pronounce any syllables.

In front of her methodical last words, all words seemed so pale. Conan felt a great sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart, and the gray plain mourning continued:

"Plus, I'm going to tell you everything I know about this drug. After all, you'll be alone in the future. ”

At this moment, the gray plain mourning trapped in the room is the one who is truly sane.

She can escape a thousand times, ten thousand times, but as long as her identity is discovered, all that is in front of her is death.

She had a bond, so she couldn't escape.

*

After a pause in her voice, she rubbed her temples to gather her thoughts for a moment, during which Conan remained silent.

So, her train of thought continued smoothly:

"In addition to this, there is a research direction for APTX-4869 within the organization. The essence of this drug is to accelerate the growth and differentiation of cells, which catalyzes aging in adults, but for a newly fertilized embryo, APTX-4869 can quickly develop into a mature individual. ”

"This effect is especially pronounced in cloning, which only takes one to two years to make a person grow rapidly to the age of sixteen or seventeen."

"These are digressions, back to business," her expression sank slightly, "what the organization's research really wants to achieve is actually immortality." ”

“…… Eternal life? Conan repeated incredulously.

To prevent loss of contact, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:

In fact, sneering at it is a normal reaction of ordinary people. As long as you are a normal person with a sound mind, you know that immortality is just an ethereal mythical story, and if you sincerely pursue it, others will definitely think that this person is crazy.

But this obsession can be planted on the head of a rich and dangerous dark organization, and everything becomes reasonable again. He already has everything, wealth and power, a high position, and if a person has everything in the world, then the only thing he needs is to keep it.

Death takes everyone equally, and then he will overcome death.

However, just for one's own selfish desires, how much manpower and material resources will be absurdly consumed to realize this seemingly impossible dream? Such speculation makes Conan shudder to think about it.

"Yes."

"Before I left, the organization's research institute recognized that there are three ways to achieve immortality. ”

"The first is totipotent stem cells."

"It has unlimited differentiation potential and can be differentiated into all tissues and organs. Inducing in vitro differentiation of totipotent stem cells enables the cultivation of entirely new young organs, which can then be surgically replaced by aging lesions. Twenty years ago, this was the most promising research direction in the institute, and almost all the researchers threw themselves on it. ”

"Twenty years ago?" Conan keenly captured this pivotal point in time, "What happened after that?" ”

"A boat floats on the sea, constantly replacing rotting wood...... What do you think of? A very classic philosophical topic, the ship of Theseus. ”

"There is also a relationship between consciousness and the body. You can replace other organs, but what about the brain? How do I replace my brain? nerve cell

Almost impossible to repair after being damaged, they die only once in their lives. ”

"Take 10,000 steps back and say - even if the brain replacement surgery is successful, how can you guarantee that the 'consciousness' generated by the new brain is still the same as you?"

This is a problem that has plagued mankind for thousands of years, and it is still unsolved in the field of biomedicine in the new century, so the proposition of totipotent stem cells has been rejected.

"The second is anti-aging, which inhibits the natural apoptosis of cells. APTX-4869 is the result of this research, and I am the highest leader in this direction, which is why they are so desperate to get me back. ”

Her voice suddenly paused, and Conan couldn't help but ask, "What is the third type?" ”

"The Third ......"

Gray Yuan's gaze suddenly drifted away, and after a moment, she came back to her senses.

"Before I defected to the organization, the third direction was only hypothetical, and no one ever succeeded, but the institute still spent a lot of money on it."

"The level of confidentiality of this study is high...... I only know one name, and it is summed up as, 'Thinking Leap'. ”

***

"—Thinking jumps?"

Conan muttered repeated, "...... And what does this mean. ”

Immersed in the narrative of Gray Plains' mourning, he briefly forgot the predicament he was in, and his whole mind began to think about it.

His question went unanswered, Ash

Yuan Wai shook his head slightly.

"The research in all directions is not connected to each other, and we researchers don't know each other. I know so much because my parents took the first path, and that was when they confirmed that totipotent stem cells could not achieve normal renewal of nerve cells...... The original project was scrapped. ”

As she spoke, her palm stayed on the access control, and after the fingerprint verification failed, the number nine keys popped out of the white box, and Gray Yuan entered the password she used to use in the laboratory with no hope.

Sure enough, the rectangle turned from white to red, and the harsh light once again prompted her to verify the error.

The other end of the badge was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, the content had returned to the previous topic.

Conan stubbornly said, "There's a ventilation duct here, Ashbara, you wait for me there for a while." ”

"Don't you understand what I mean!"

Gray Yuan's face changed instantly, her voice was raised, and for a moment it was almost broken: "This must be very dangerous here." Hurry up and send me a message! You won't be able to pass the word? ”

"I don't understand the terms you said, I hope you can continue to explain them yourself than to check the information in the future and slowly understand."

Conan took a slow step back, and on the rectangle of the map, he had reached the short side of the corridor, the top of the unassuming wall, and the metal gap outlined the shape of a vent cover.

He squatted down, moved his feet to increase the strength of his shoes, and slowly put his right hand on the launch button of the football belt: "But I know that this medicine can only be studied by you." In that case, what's the use of knowing this? ”

"You are my important companion, not a sacrificial. If you don't have one less of them, I'll get you out. After that, whether it's fleeing or hiding, as long as you're alive, we'll have a way. ”

"But the problem now is that there is no way!" Gray Yuan shouted in grief, "They have even found the Didan Elementary School, Kudo, you are so smart, why don't you understand this simple truth?" ”

"I'm going to ask you a rhetorical question, Grayplain," said Conan, "why don't you understand this simple truth?" ”

"Think of Dr. Asasa, his weight loss plan still needs your urging, and he can't control his mouth from stealing food...... Boy Detectives, when I'm away, only you can control those little ghosts. Ayumi, you and her handicraft class collaborative homework, the teacher's score has not yet been announced. ”

"Gray Plains mourning."

The syllables of the name, accentuated between Conan's lips and teeth, lowered his voice slightly.

"You've escaped from that dark organization. This is your new name, a new life, you have concerns, dreams, and a future...... but it was not easy to break free

Mud people, if you go back like this, are you really willing? ”

"I die without regrets......"

Gray Yuan Ai wanted to say this, but the words seemed to have some kind of sticky force, and her upper and lower lips were glued together, unable to open and close for a long time.

To prevent loss of contact, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:

In a trance, the ethereal bell rang in the ears, and in the rustling of the badge, scenes of past life emerged in front of me.

Dr. Asa slipping into the kitchen.

Gentle and kind Sister Xiaolan.

The lively and active juvenile detective group, and the famous detective who always complains about half-moon eyes, but never drops the chain on key matters......

Waking up on the cold and blank operating table, Gray Yuan Ai has been trying to put himself in a state of absolute calm. She needed to be clear-headed in order to keep the memories out of the dam of sanity.

But with every word Conan spoke, a fragmentary image emerged, like tiny bubbles rolling in hot water, which exploded one by one on the surface of the water, releasing a swirling heat, and a huge sourness finally filled her heart.

Large drops of transparent tears slid down her eyes, rolling across the girl's pale cheeks and splashing on the ground.

Gray Plains murmured, "I ......"

Why do your eyes get wet?

She wiped her face with the back of her hand, but the warm tears accumulated more and more, and in the blink of an eye, they flowed down like a broken thread, and then she heard the choking in her voice, and it turned out that even if the sad emotions were suppressed, they would come out of every detail uncontrollably.

Gray Yuan said intermittently, "I ...... I'm so lucky to have met you ......."

- It turns out that she wants to live like that, too.

*

The silent sobs of the badge were like a sledgehammer slammed into Conan's chest.

Hurry up.

He unconsciously gritted his teeth and went a little faster......

What can save the ashes?

He can rekindle the will to survive in Gray Plains, but he can't change the fact that there is no way out.

You must have a way, think again!

The ventilation duct stands at the top of the hallway, and it seems like it's the only way to go. Pinning the Detective Corps badge to his neckline, Conan took two steps back, ready to kick the football.

I hadn't kicked it away because the belt only had one chance. First of all, the vents of the ventilation ducts would not necessarily fall completely after a football hit, and secondly, the walls were so smooth that Conan couldn't think of any way to climb them.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so you can only gamble.

But just a second before pressing the button, only a sensor door was separated, and Conan heard the sound of footsteps walking by.

- Pisco is back?

The reason why they are desperate is because the tight entrance and exit of the research institute completely lock the gray plain mourning inside, and neither of them can do anything about it. But he forgot that Pisco was the key in the human form, and he could lock the gray plain in it, and he could open the door himself!

Conan perked up, and on the bookshelf, the carefully cherished photo frame appeared in front of him.

The pale blonde-haired woman smiled calmly, while the middle-aged man standing in the middle, Pisco's position was clearly tilted towards Elena Miyano.

There is no other way to do it, and this strategy is worth trying.

"Gray Plains," he said to the badge at a very fast pace, "someone has come and hid the Detective Corps badge, and now you listen to me." ”

"As soon as I knock three times and the door to my room is open, you run out and leave nothing at all! Did you hear that? Pisco left it to me to solve, I have a way to deal with him! ”

What?

The sudden turn of events made Gray Yuan Wai slightly stunned. But Conan didn't leave her time to ask questions, and the footsteps outside the door were getting closer, and she only had time to slip the badge into her pocket.

The cipher panel on the wall turned from red to green, and the hidden metal door slowly slid open. Behind the crack in the door, the first thing that catches your eye is a pair of leather shoes with exquisite workmanship.

The gray-haired man is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and the wax of his hair is neatly combed into the back. The smiling expression adds to the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes

Fen kind, in the pocket of his chest, even politely pinned a rose.

This face is very familiar, it is the chairman of the car company banquet with infinite scenery, Kenzo Tsuyama!

As soon as Kenzo Kashiyama lowered his head slightly, he saw the tea-haired girl with tears on her face behind the door, and Gray Yuan retreated again and again, and the strong organizational aura on Pisco's body made her tremble unconsciously.

The man in the suit walked in calmly, and as Conan expected, he didn't close the door.

"Long time no see, Shiho." He sighed in a tone of emotion, "I'm old, and you're still so much like a little girl." ”

Pisco removes the cigar from behind his ear and lights it on his lips. There was a click, and the gray smoke slowly rose.

"How did you recognize me?" Gray Yuan asked vigilantly.

She was defensive, like a little fried hedgehog, but Pisco didn't seem to care.

He waved his hand casually: "You probably don't remember. It was a friendship many years ago, and when I met you, you were still in your infancy. ”

"Your parents have a lot of friendship with me, I have been known for that drug in development for a long time, I didn't expect it to have progressed to this stage, if their Heavenly Spirit saw it, they would be very pleased."

To prevent loss of contact, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:

The man's words reached Conan's ears with great clarity through the badge in Gray Plains' pocket. Conan gritted his teeth, his taut index finger in wait.

- As long as you tap it three times, the gray plain mourning will come out immediately.

When exactly should the order be issued...... In order to maximize the risk?

The air tightened, and the eyes of the eyes were full of momentum. Gray Yuan Ai took two steps back again, but his back suddenly hit something.

She had retreated to the operating table, and there was no way behind her.

Pacing slowly, Pisco with a cigar in his mouth slowly approached, casting a shadow on his figure, and the child's low vision was filled with an incomparably oppressive sense of approaching figure.

"I want to keep you too, Shiho. Your parents wanted to apply to leave the institute, and I begged for her at the time, but unfortunately it was a last resort, and an order is an order. ”

Pisco said, "That's why I brought you here." ”

Sincere.

Conan's index finger struck the first sound, and at that moment, the man on the other end said at the same time:

"The boss will be coming today. Although the order is to kill, I can take you to meet him, and whether or not to spare your life will be discussed later. ”

Conan's fingertips paused.

He had already struck a second sound, but it was now alive and still.

Pisco ...... Kenzo Kashiyama.

This is a prominent figure in the financial industry, the top director of a chain car company, such a high-ranking person, why did he choose Tokyo Jikei Hospital as the place where the kidnapping was carried out?

When he saw the picture frame in the dean's office, Conan's mind came to this question, which is the detective's instinct to spot the unreasonable. He intuitively felt that this was the way out of the dilemma, but he couldn't get an answer for a long time, and at this moment, everything finally had an explanation.

- because the boss is here.

This unexpected and reasonable answer made Conan tremble unconsciously.

*

[I'm super, boss? Is this real? 】

[What kind of medicine did you take, old thief, you released the boss of the organization so early, and the concubine's heart couldn't stand it!! 】

[I really don't dare to say this word, I completely get back to the feeling of watching Conan when I was a child, the sense of oppression of the organization is really strong, and my heart is like hanging a string, for fear that it will break when]

[I feel the same way, I never thought that a cartoon could make me cry and laugh when I read it...... I called Tang Zeyu's number earlier, where I was still laughing at Conan's duplicity, followed by a labyrinthine underground research institute. I'm really lost in this underground labyrinth! Don't be too empathetic, I was shouting not to go down when I saw Conan open the passage-]

[Harm, the plot needs, the plot needs, you have to believe that Conan can still come back (Heste)]

[But if Conan can come back, Gray Plains is really not necessarily! ] 】

[Qaq's current situation, Pisco already knows the identity of Gray Plains Wai completely. Once you are brought to the boss, isn't that the end of the game? 】

[All I have on it now is to save me, save me...... No, save the ashes! The original Ripsco also recognized Shiho Miyano, and then what? Can anyone give me some hope! 】

[Gently tell LS that there is no solution to this situation of leaking identity (whisper)]

[Identity leakage is not the same as encountering members of the organization, as long as they still treat you as a child, you will be fine after escaping this wave. But if you reveal your identity, the organization will get to the bottom of it, and everyone at that time, as long as they have been in contact with you, the organization may kill them all......]

[I grass, I grass! What should I do, Conan won't really have to play gg in laughter, right? I was still licking the screen with Gray Yuan one second, and the calmness she showed here and the decisiveness of explaining her last words were really me, who knew that the next second she would cry because of her nostalgia Woo woo woo]

[She's a person! That's her flesh and blood bond, she has been reborn, and she is going to return to the light, but she was dragged back to the mire with a click, you don't be a man, old thief!! 】

[I can't do it anymore, I want to form a group to send blades to the old thief, who will come? ] 】

【Group Sending Blade 1/10000】

[Send blades in a group +10086!] 】

[It's over, I can't think of how this plot should be rounded, the original Lippisco was shot by Gin, and he didn't even have time to say his last words, what now? ] Lao Qin not only wants to kill Pisco, does he also want to kill the boss, this is too outrageous, right?

[I can accept how outrageous it is, as long as the old thief can not give me a mournful lunch, I can accept it if I support Gin and make trouble, and usurp the throne as a boss, really (Star Eyes)]

[There is no future for the water plant, and real wine is the king of itself!] 】

【？ The wind of the barrage is rushing to a place I can't understand...... Look at the comics, it's not just you who mourn, there is a person who has already seen the boss! 】

【？？？ I grass you who, Bourbon??? 】

[No, isn't Toko missing, then what kind of freighter explosion (comparison) How can he appear here! ] 】

[Could it be that the distillery is not a water factory, and our personnel have been wiped out? ] Isn't it, isn't it, it's really that exciting? 】

As Pisco mentions the whereabouts of the boss, the comic transitions. A pair of wet shoes stepped down the hallway, the camera zoomed out, and the blonde police officer strode into the room.

The moment the black wall and the crow relief appeared in the frame, the barrage of arguments subsided.

Whether it is questioning the outrageous plot or discussing the different opinions, in the face of great shock, all turned into a string of punctuation:

【！！！ 】

TBC.
