In the dim hospital corridor, a section of wooden floor still reflected faint light.
In the room, a young body was sitting on a chair, and the seemingly immature hands were more skilled than adults in operating the computer.
This is one of Haihara Ai's habits, and she insists on surfing the Internet every day.
As a top student who once studied in the United States, I know that the Internet is an important tool for receiving emerging things and knowledge, and it will also become the most important media tool in the 21st century.
As for staying up late, it is another habit of Haiyuan Ai.
It's just that today, Haihara Ai's staying up late is not entirely out of habit, but because of some news that has started to explode on the Internet in recent days.
First, a bomber threatened the Wimbledon tennis tournament in London and almost succeeded.
Originally, Haihara Ai just brushed past this kind of information.
But in the photos of the conflict between the bomber and the audience, Haibara Ai saw Conan's presence.
She saw Conan standing in the aisle of the stands with a surprised look on his face, and combined with his "Death" attribute, she already guessed that this incident was probably related to him.
Fortunately, the matter seemed to have been solved by a "just thief" in the end, and Conan was not exposed to the world.
The second thing is the arrival of the "wandering planet" that has attracted worldwide attention.
This news, announced by NASA in the United States, has firmly topped the list of hot searches in major browsers around the world in just a few hours.
Since the information released by NASA is incomplete, it leaves a lot of room for people's imagination.
For example, the most mainstream and widely discussed doomsday theory today.
Doomsday theory is based on treating the arrival of this "rogue planet" as a disaster.
An asteroid with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers would be enough to destroy the earth if it landed on the earth.
But this time it is at least a planet-level planet, and the gravity generated by it alone can tear the earth apart.
Therefore, most people who believe in doomsday hold a pessimistic attitude and believe that there is almost no way to save themselves.
In addition to doomsday theory, there is also the theory of the coming of gods.
In fact, these two arguments are completely the difference between materialism and idealism, but they lead to two completely different attitudes.
The theory of the coming of gods believes that the "wandering planet" is a god called Gherros, who comes to the earth to bring enlightenment to mankind and open a new era.
All mankind needs to do is to give up all resistance and accept the arrival of a new era.
Therefore, most supporters of the theory of the advent of gods are optimistic and believe that the arrival of Gheros is to usher in a new era.
Even if that new era will end humankind's dominance, we can only accept its fate happily.
If there is any theory that Haihara Ai supports, at first, she is more supportive of the doomsday theory.
After all, doomsday theories are more in line with current scientific theories, although the way most people accept such scientific theories is through some American disaster movies.
Although such a disaster is apocalyptic for mankind, it is nothing more than a small collision between billions of planets in the universe.
Even Haihara Ai realized some truths from this "Doomsday March".
Gin, vodka, and black organizations are nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to the endless universe.
In the face of the power of the universe, everything seems so fair.
It's just that this idea changed after she saw the latest photos of Gehros posted online.
As time went by, many people saw Gehros in the sky and took photos in various ways.
Among them, the clearest shots were taken at the Planetarium in Brightchester, England.
It looks like a rusty brown-red iron ball, with hill-like spherical protrusions on its surface.
These bulges form a huge, rusty, swollen eye below the center of the planet.
In the middle of that eye, where the pupil of the human eye originally was, are some pale and sparkling parts.
The pupil is made up of huge ring-shaped mountains and rocky plains.
These eyes seem to come from a real god, even through photos, they can give an overwhelming aura to the person looking at them.
Haihara Ai stared at the photos of Gehros for a long time, and her inner thoughts gradually changed.
Maybe, this is really a god?
Or is it an object created by the gods?
How else to explain the current spectacle?
Although Haihara Ai is a scientific worker through and through, he does not blindly believe that science can explain everything in the universe.
The end of science is theology.
The current Gheros is just a small shock brought by the gods to mankind...
Haiyuan Ai slid the mouse wheel, and the webpage slowly moved downwards.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a switch being flipped behind her, and then the room lit up.
"Xiao Ai, I have to go to school tomorrow..."
Cheng Shi stood at the door of the room, looking at Haihara Ai who was playing with the computer on the chair.
He has always known that the girl in front of him is not an ordinary primary school student, and she cannot be treated according to the standards of a primary school student.
However, Haiyuan Ai stayed up so late and looked at the computer in the office without turning on the lights. He saw that it was late at night, which made him very worried.
After all, no matter how mature your mind is, your physical fitness is still that of a primary school student.
And even if you are an adult, if you stay up late and watch the computer all the time, your body will be overtaxed sooner or later.
Dr. Agasa is a living example. Although Narumi admires the doctor's knowledge, it is also true that the 51-year-old looks like a 71-year-old because of staying up late to do scientific research.
Haiyuan Ai, who was sitting on the chair, heard Cheng Shi's voice and knew that it was reminding herself that it was time to go to bed.
"Well, after reading this, I'll go to bed right away..."
Hui Yuan Ai's voice was very soft, but not perfunctory.
Although she is not too sleepy now, she doesn't want Cheng Shi to worry too much about herself.
When Chengshi heard Haiyuan Ai's reply, he didn't urge her anymore. Instead, he walked behind Haiyuan Ai and followed her to read the contents on the computer.
When he saw the extremely clear photo, Cheng Shi's expression was startled.
"This is the one on the news tonight..."
"Well, it's that wandering planet." Haiyuan Ai took the initiative to introduce: "Now a planetarium in the UK has taken clearer photos."
"But we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see the planet in the sky..."
Chengshi clasped his hands behind his back and nodded thoughtfully.
He himself has no interest in planets or anything like that.
But when he mentioned the planetarium in the UK, he couldn't help but think of Qin Zhibo who was far away in the UK.
I hope Mr. Qin can come back safely...
…
5:00
England, Wiltshire, Salisbury Plain.
Qin Zhibo picked up Kuroba Kaito and Dr. Ari and rode on the road.
As it gets darker and darker, visibility on the highway gets worse and worse.
As a last resort, Qin Zhibo could only turn on the car lights, which not only illuminated the road ahead, but also exposed his whereabouts on this unobstructed plain.
But now he has roughly guessed where the final ceremony will be.
Although the signal from the gem is still unstable, Snake kidnapped Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, and their destination was probably the ceremony venue organized by the zoo.
As a result, Qin Zhibo obtained a relatively accurate direction with the help of the object-finding spell.
By comparing this direction with the electronic map of the navigator, Qin Zhibo guessed the location of the ceremony.
It's Stonehenge.
Stonehenge is a megalithic ruin built between 2000 and 3000 BC. It is also one of the most mysterious unsolved mysteries in the world.
There are three main unsolved mysteries surrounding Stonehenge: Who built it? How was it built? Why was it built?
Scholars generally believe that Stonehenge was built by humans in the Neolithic Age, using various structures such as pulleys and earth slopes.
As for the purpose, it was an ancient observatory used by ancient people to observe celestial phenomena, or a place for superstitious activities.
But as the zoo organization chose this mysterious Stonehenge as the venue for the ceremony, Qin Zhibo had some new conjectures.
The time period during which Stonehenge was built happened to be the era of the Third Dynasty of ancient Egypt.
At that time, ancient Egypt had already mastered the technology of building huge pyramids, and building a Stonehenge was not a problem at all.
The only question is why did the Egyptians go all the way to England to build a Stonehenge?
But the current situation may be able to explain it.
That is, in order to facilitate his future reincarnation and resurrection, Nevlen Ka built his own sacrificial place in this distant land.
Nefren Ka should have predicted that after his death, his dynasty would be destroyed, and everything about him would be overthrown and destroyed.
So, he built Stonehenge in a place that was unexpected by all Egyptians at the time, leaving it to future generations to fulfill the prophecy of reincarnation.
Now, the zoo organization is going here, which is the best evidence.
Qin Zhibo stepped on the accelerator and the car accelerated towards Stonehenge.
Not a single car was encountered along the way, and the entire plain was incredibly desolate.
After 20 minutes, Qin Zhibo slowly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the highway.
"arrive……"
Qin Zhibo greeted the two people in the car and then got out of the car first.
He opened his telescope and looked toward the north side of the highway.
I saw 200 meters away, the dancing firelight highlighted the tall outline of the boulder. Looking along the gap between the boulders, I could see a huge bonfire burning inside.
There were many figures around the bonfire, and it seemed that a grand bonfire party was being held.
There are also many cars parked outside Stonehenge, forming a simple encirclement.
"It seems like this is it..."
"This is the final location of the ceremony."
Qin Zhibo confirmed the target and immediately turned around to prepare various props.
Kuroba Kaito followed closely behind, taking out all the smoke bombs and flash bombs from the suitcase, and also gave some to Qin Zhibo.
Seeing the large number of familiar props in the suitcase, Dr. Ali couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"You got these from...Huang Zhisuke?"
Kuroba Kaito did not answer, but checked the poker gun again.
"Doctor, just stay here, it's enough for us to go."
Kuroba Kaito smiled at Dr. Agasa, and set off with Qin Zhibo, who was already ready.
The two men had already put on black clothes and divided their troops into two groups to outflank Stonehenge from the east and west sides.
Fortunately, due to the solar eclipse, the entire Salisbury Plain seems to be covered with a huge layer of haze, resulting in low visibility.
Qin Zhibo crawled forward, and under the cover of the night, he quickly reached the circle of cars surrounding Stonehenge.
Qin Zhibo, who was lying on the grass, rolled over on the grass, got under the car, and saw the scene on the other side of the car.
In the outermost ring of Stonehenge, a man in a brown trench coat stood in the middle of each gap, blocking the entrance and exit.
Inside Stonehenge, in addition to the dancing bonfire, a group of men in black can be seen standing in the light of the fire.
Number of people...
Due to the obstruction of the boulder, Qin Zhibo could not clearly see the specific number of people inside.
He could only take out the [Glass Bottle] from the inventory and call Minase Harumu out...
Meanwhile, inside Stonehenge.
Beside the bonfire, a heavy stone bed was placed in the center of Stonehenge.
Next to the stone bed, there was a huge black coffin placed side by side.
Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan were tied on the grass three meters away and guarded by two people. They could only watch all this.
"It's almost time, the ceremony can begin..."
At this time, a man in black who was squatting by the stone platform and looking at his laptop suddenly turned around and said to everyone.
What surprised Kudo Shinichi was that the man in black actually made a woman's voice.
Under her order, many men in black who were standing scattered around the scene gathered together.
They formed a circle, surrounding the stone bed and black coffin.
"Let's take off the disguise together."
"The ceremony of paying homage to the great reincarnation does not require a hat-wearing person..."
Under the greeting of the first man in black, the men in black who formed a circle took off the hoods on their heads.
Including the first man in black, every human face was revealed under the hood.
Especially some of the faces among them, Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan still have some impressions, they are the same people they have met in London these days!
There was the Egyptian spice shop owner in London's Flea Street, Efiq Said.
There is He Fang, the president of the He Chamber of Commerce who came all the way from China.
There is a tennis player, Wang Haili.
As for the man in black who is the host, he has long silky chestnut hair, gray eyes, a beautiful girlish face and a handsome figure, and he is not far behind even against Mao Lilan.
Kudo Shinichi was startled at first, and then suddenly thought of it in his mind.
This person is Natsumi Kasaka!
The young lady of Russian descent who took the initiative to find the Suzuki family in the Egg of Memories incident.
Kudo Shinichi remembered that after the last castle in Yokosuka burned down, Kasaka Natsumi suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.
Why is she here?
At this time, Snake walked up to Natsumi Kasaka, raised his head in the direction of Xinlan and asked.
