Extra: Strangers Ten Years Later, Chapter 2: Things have changed, and the stars have changed several times.
"Let's take the temperature first." Haihara Ai put a thermometer into Conan's hand.
"I know..." Conan's face showed that he was not willing to waste time.
After a moment, she took the thermometer that had been measured and frowned at Conan who was eager to try and didn't want to wait any longer.
"Thirty-eight degrees seven, quite high..."
Conan was afraid that Haiyuan Ai wouldn't try the antidote for him, so he immediately said: "I ran here, so the level is elevated."
"...Is it really possible? Such a high fever..." Haibara Ai felt that Conan's current physical condition was not suitable for taking medicine right away.
Conan urged: "Hurry!"
Hui Yuan Ai looked at Yuan Huaiyu who had just walked out of the kitchen carrying plates and bowls, with a questioning look on his face.
Yuan Huaiyu quickly understood and shrugged nonchalantly, indicating that it was up to her.
Haibara Ai sighed inwardly, feeling that today's Edogawa Conan seemed to be much more willing to change back to his original body than usual.
"The effectiveness of the medicine is the same as before, about 24 hours. Because it is immediate, it will take effect once you take it."
Haihara Ai took out a capsule and put it in Conan's hand. Conan couldn't wait to pick up his clothes and ran to the bathroom.
He sat on the toilet, stared at the white capsule in his hand for a while, then put the capsule into his mouth without much hesitation, raised his neck, and swallowed it.
In less than a minute, he suddenly trembled all over - the effect of the medicine took effect.
It was a feeling that seemed to completely burn the body, and burn away the consciousness. Some dazzling white lights in the bathroom were reflected in the eyes, becoming more and more blurry, more and more blurry...
…
A high school student walked out of the bathroom, closed the door behind his back, and looked into the living room while arranging his clothes.
"Huh? Where is Haiyuan... Mr. Yuan is not here either? Where have they been in such a short time?"
Conan... no, he should be called Kudo Shinichi now.
He briefly looked around the villa, but did not find Yuan Huaiyu and Hui Yuan Ai.
But his main thoughts are not on this right now.
The excitement in his heart was almost overflowing now - he finally, finally turned back into Kudo Shinichi!
And there didn't seem to be any discomfort.
Everything is perfect.
As for the absence of Yuan Huaiyu and Haiyuan Ai, he didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he looked at his watch and said to himself:
"Twelve thirty...it should be too late to go there now."
He just rushed out of Yuanhuaiyu's house without looking back.
It can only be said that when people dream, they tend to ignore many things subconsciously.
…
Kudo Shinichi was running on the road when he suddenly noticed something strange about the tree he often passed by his home in Huaiyu.
"Strange...was this tree so tall before?"
"Maybe it's because the perspective is different from Conan's height, right?"
He quickly found a reason to convince himself and didn't take such small details to heart.
Walking on the streets of Yoneka Town, Kudo Shinichi suddenly found that everything around him was a little strange.
Is there such a building in this place? When was this apartment built?
Sure enough, there are some things that children cannot notice...
In his cognitive perspective, these differences are all subjectively perceived as the so-called "differences between children and adults."
Soon, he arrived at the gate of Didan High School.
There is still an atmosphere called "youth" permeating the campus. The boys are sweating profusely on the grass and playing football, while the girls are sitting around the court in twos and threes, whispering to their peers.
Occasionally, a girl will be told something that is on her mind by her companions, and she will blush and wave her hands to deny it, but it will only attract more convinced and teasing looks.
Kudo Shinichi walked through the familiar campus paths and walked to the rows of shoe cabinets, and easily found his own shoe cabinet.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a physical education teacher passed by, which made Kudo Shinichi murmur in his heart.
"It's a gorilla... He's aged a lot after not seeing him for a few days..."
Gorilla was the nickname given to this physical education teacher by their students. In Kudo's new eyes, this teacher seemed to have suddenly aged several years.
He opened the door of his shoe cabinet and found that there was already a pair of shoes inside.
"Huh? Isn't it here? Did someone rob my shoe cabinet while I was resting?"
Finally, he had to find a pair of slippers and put them on and came to the door of his classroom.
"Everyone will be surprised, right?"
So he thought.
But when he walked into the classroom and shouted "Hello everyone", he received no response.
He took another closer look and found that he didn't recognize anyone in the classroom.
He immediately exited the classroom and took another look, confirming the class number corresponding to the classroom.
"That's right here...it's really strange."
He put on his slippers and strode towards the club classroom.
The person he wanted to find was Xiaolan, whom he longed for. At noon, Mao Lilan would often take a lunch break in the club activity room.
But when he came to the entrance of the karate department, he found that the door was locked and there was no one inside.
Just as he was about to leave, out of the corner of his eye he suddenly caught sight of the sign posted on the door next door.
"Detective Club? Is there such a club?"
Out of curiosity, he opened the classroom door of the Detective Club.
What appeared in front of him were three familiar figures.
A young, lively and beautiful female high school student, a tall and thin male high school student with freckles on his face, and a burly male high school student who crossed his arms and looked at him.
The names of the three people immediately popped into his mind.
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Yuanta.
In the Detective Club, there are three members of the Junior Detective Team.
They appeared in front of him as high school students.
But in Kudo Shinichi's view, these three people should still be elementary school students.
A terrifying possibility grew in his mind.
What if, instead of being restored to Shinichi Kudo, he grew up to be a high school student as Edogawa Conan?
Kudo Shinichi's detective mind was in a mess.
Outside the classroom, the sun was shining brightly, there were a few floating clouds, and there was a gentle breeze, but he felt like he was falling into an ice cellar, and his heart seemed to be falling into a bottomless pit, never reaching the end.
The shadows in Xianyuntan Lake are long, and things change and the stars move several autumns.
