Chapter 276: Communication between two materialists
For some reason, Qin Zhibo felt inexplicably moved when he learned that a new week had begun.
But while being moved, it also seemed a little desolate...
Dr. Ali and everyone in the Young Detective Team didn't care that today was a new week, but...
Mitsuhiko said with a longing look on his face: "Can I also visit the Metropolitan Police Department?"
Yuantai immediately echoed: "I want to go too!"
"Conan... take us with you too..." Ayumi was more sensible and chose to beg Conan, the only one named to go to the Metropolitan Police.
Huiyuan said sadly: "I'll go too..."
The reason why Haibara Ai wanted to go to the Metropolitan Police Department was not because she wanted to visit, or because she had been a member of a criminal organization. She herself was very taboo about going to places like the Metropolitan Police Department.
But this time it's not just about taking a confession, but also Dr. Ali retrieving the magnetic disk containing the APTX-4869 drug information.
It just so happened that Qin Zhibo also wanted to retrieve a magnetic disk with unknown contents.
In order to prevent the two magnetic disks from being mixed up again, Haihara Ai will personally supervise this time.
The three little ones and the tea-haired loli each said a few words, which made Officer Memu on the side feel helpless.
Who said you were asked to visit the Metropolitan Police Department? It was to take a confession!
And the only one who recorded the confession was Conan, who was kidnapped by the gangsters!
Although Officer Memu wanted to say this in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.
Because if these children know that they cannot go to the Metropolitan Police Department, they may babble again, or even cry.
Now 44 years old, Officer Mu Mu, who advocates DINK families, is the worst at coaxing children.
Forget it, leave these kids to an honest and easy-to-talk brother when the time comes...
Thinking in his mind, Officer Megure turned his attention to Officer Takagi Wataru who was leading Nishikawa Mutsumi out.
The decision is yours! Brother Takagi!
...
After Officer Memu and the police left, the Blue Castle returned to calm.
Dr. Ali took the young detective team, who were seriously lacking in energy, to go to bed first. Only Conan rested on his arms and stared at the ceiling for a long time unable to fall asleep.
What happened to that flying corpse?
Is it really my eyesight?
Or is there really something in this world that cannot be explained by science?
Conan is a staunch materialist.
The so-called materialism is not the same as atheism, but the belief that the basis of the world is matter and consciousness is the expression of matter.
In other words, in front of materialists, as long as they can prove that there are gods made of matter, then they will believe that there are gods in this world.
However, judging from the current universal world view, gods are constructs of consciousness, and their existence cannot be proven.
Therefore, most materialists are atheists, or people who do not know whether there is a god at all.
But today, Conan's atheism based on materialism has been challenged.
The challenger is the flying corpse...
Conan:??(*￣︿￣)
At this moment, a faint voice came from the bed next to him.
"Are you still thinking about that flying corpse?"
Conan tilted his head and saw Haihara Ai lying upright on the bed next door, looking at the ceiling like him.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" Conan asked instead without answering directly.
"Not very sleepy..."
The half-moon-eyed Conan grinned and thought to himself: That's right. Scientists must be good at staying up late, but...
"If you continue like this, you will become bald early like Dr. A Li..."
Conan's advice is very sincere, except for some straight men.
Hui Yuan Ai tilted her head and glared at Conan fiercely, then straightened her head back up.
"I don't need you to worry about my hair. Anyway, we may not be able to reach the day when we are bald..."
Haihara Ai's words not only refer to herself, but also bring Conan along with her.
And Conan also knew that Haibara Ai was implying that the organization would kill them both.
This woman has become pessimistic again...
"Hey, don't be so pessimistic..." Conan then comforted him: "I will definitely find a way to destroy the organization. There must be a lot of good people in this world."
Thinking of the help and encouragement I encountered from various people after leaving the organization, Qin Zhibo, Aso Minoru, Dr. Agasa, Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko...
Hui Yuan Ai murmured in a low voice: "Maybe you are right."
"But..." Haiyuan Ai changed the subject, "I'm not talking about the organization, but about APTX-4869..."
"Of the 78 subjects I personally supervised, only the 10th subject survived after taking APTX-4869."
"But the price is that the body tissue completely stops growing..."
"The male mouse used in the experiment had fully entered the x-mature stage before taking the drug, and regressed to the pre-mature stage after taking APTX-4869."
"The sexual maturity time of normal male mice is 45 to 60 days old, but Experimental Subject No. 10 has not been able to enter sexual maturity even after more than 60 days."
"This means that if we can't find an antidote, we will always be the bodies of children."
Conan's eyes widened and he looked in shock at Haibara Ai who said all this calmly.
It will always be a child's body...
This sentence echoed in Conan's heart, and its weight even surpassed that of "flying bones".
If there is no antidote, I will always be Conan!
Previously, Conan had thought that the worst possibility was that he would wait until he matured before finding Mao Lilan to reveal his identity.
Mao Lilan went to school relatively early, she is only 16 years old this year, and she is 7 years old. The age gap of 9 years is not big, it is just a brother-sister relationship.
As long as Maori Ranken waits for himself...
But now Haibara Ai's words have completely sealed Conan's idea.
People who take APTX-4869 will never mature!
Isn’t that Barbie Q?
The eternal schoolboy——Conan.
Ten or twenty years later, the other members of the Young Detective Team have all joined the workforce, and I am still in elementary school...
This is simply a nightmare!
"Hey! Are you really sure you can find the antidote?"
Haihara Ai's words really frightened Conan, and even his voice trembled a little.
"Absolutely." Haiyuan Ai remained calm, "As long as we get the information on APTX-4869 and what you said about doing it in vain, there is still a chance..."
At this moment, the sleepy Ayumi on the other side of the bed said in a complaining tone: "Conan, it's already very late..."
Conan was startled for a moment and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I'll go to sleep right away."
After saying that, Conan took off his glasses and quickly fell asleep.
On the other side, Haiyuan Ai looked at Conan's sleeping face on the bed next to him, and actually had something to say in his heart.
What she wanted to ask was whether Conan really saw the "flying corpse".
If corpses can fly, then those who control the corpses must be the souls of the deceased, indicating that there really are souls in this world.
If there really is a soul in the world, then she still wants to see that person again.
