The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 141: What is the name of the second pointer? (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month QAQ)

For Dr. Agasa, after the [cycle] ended, the self under the mask could finally come out and breathe some air.

When the "Timeline Stealing Mask" detects the end of the [loop], it will connect the hidden timeline of Dr. Agasa and the timeline experienced by the mask according to the program.

Under the intricately woven mask, the experience of the fake "Dr. Agasa" was like a dream that would never be forgotten.

This avoids the possibility that the dual timelines might attempt to add personal spin to the already completely broken Dr. Agasa.

For Dr. Agasa, he felt a sense of relief, as if his original appearance had finally been restored, as his consciousness slowly connected back to the stolen timeline.

Dr. Agasa took a look at the mask he had placed on the table, and a hint of excitement appeared on his somewhat tired face.

"Huh—I never thought I could actually do it!"

He knew that Shinichi would be able to do it, the doctor always believed in this.

Then, he followed the plan and immediately trotted to the dusty basement door.

According to the plan, the alliance will use the transmission equipment to place the next plan under the pot of artificial flowers.

But Dr. Agasa found nothing, but then his eyes stopped on the petals of the fake flowers.

He noticed as he stood up that the bright light from the basement made the traces of dust on the petals very obvious.

Those are two words - "sleep"

What follows is the Alliance’s wonderful cheating time.

Just like what the exhausted Anko and Kaito saw in their dreams.

After giving himself an anesthetic injection, the doctor saw Lin Sheng after a long time, as well as Koizumi Akako, Kuroba Kaito and the man dressed in black who were pulled into the dream together.

The result of the dream meeting also made Dr. Agasa feel heavy-hearted.

With only four people, this alliance must carefully sow discord between the [story timeline] and the [real timeline] to create opportunities for Conan.

And that child named Huiyuan Ai...

Perhaps because the dual timelines are too powerful, compared to the various certain plans that the alliance had previously made, all people got were speculations of "maybe", "probably", and "perhaps".

In the contingency plan, the possibilities listed by the executive level gave the four people ample opportunities to respond flexibly.

To be honest, this uncertainty made Dr. Agasa very uncomfortable.

After all, the sense of security that the alliance can predict all future developments is really wonderful.

But compared to the two children, Dr. Agasa quickly stabilized his mentality——

Having to deal with everything alone, hasn't he experienced this before?

In short, after the meeting, he began to carefully record the memories that Dr. Agasa "should know" into the disguised timeline in the form of recall according to his written plan and understanding of the operation.

——This took him almost the entire evening and morning.

Then, Dr. Agasa, wearing the mask, was adjusting the logic of the disguise timeline while waiting for Conan to enter the room.

Reluctantly, he withdrew his gaze, which was filled with relief and joy, from the strong child who was running towards him from the yard gate.

"Dr. Agasa! I did it!"

Looking at the pointer that Conan was waving at him and shining brightly in the sunlight, Dr. Agasa smiled and nodded at Conan, then quietly activated the mask.

As a peaceful sleeping face appeared again from under the mask, "Dr. Agasa", who had not slept all night because of the worry over the news of the train explosion, ran quickly towards Conan.

……

"So you want to ask me how to solve the puzzle of the first pointer?"

As for Conan, he secretly tried it in his room that morning after returning to the office after getting the pointer.

The hand from the sword actually fits perfectly into one of the small dials.

Even when Conan inserted the pointer into the groove that was obviously reserved for the pointer, it began to move slowly at an imperceptible speed.

"But I've tried the clock position digital code, or the Virginia table, and a lot of other code tables that correspond to the position or direction of the hands."

In the end, Conan still didn't get an answer and had to seek help from Dr. Agasa.

"Perhaps you, Doctor, would know something?"

"It's actually about light, Conan. Do you remember when I said that light shines through the watch cover and reflects off the hands?"

Conan's face became even more frustrated. "That's what I tried on my first try. Nothing happened."

"Because it requires specialized equipment to activate! I thought about it for a long time while you were away, and I finally remembered something."

Dr. Agasa took out an airtight black box from the treasure chest. When he carefully opened it, Conan could see that there was an extremely complicated device inside.

It looks like a miniature optical instrument, with a metal frame in the middle and many groups of tiny lenses and reflective surfaces arranged nearby.

Facing the instrument displayed by the doctor, Conan's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Such a complex instrument must be the device that can solve the problem!
No wonder he couldn't figure out the clue about the next pointer. The instrument the doctor put out even made Conan feel very reasonable -

Sure enough, this is the answer worthy of what the doctor said about "the truth of everything"!
Curiously moving closer, Conan tried to reach out and touch the adjustment knobs on the outside of the box.

"what is this?"

"It's essentially an optical reflectometer."

Dr. Agasa explained, "Your previous idea was correct. The answer will indeed appear only under light, but Conan, you overlooked one point. There are six pointers, but the watch has only one mirror cover." Conan immediately understood what the doctor meant: "It is those scattered lights that cover the answer!"

"Ah."

Dr. A Li nodded.

"It now appears that the clues for the six hands are engraved on the watch's mirror cover, but if you don't adjust the angle of the light to illuminate the hands, the reflection will only be meaningless patterns."

"And what this instrument does is focus that light and precisely direct it to a specific angle and location."

Dr. Agasa pushed the box in front of Conan.

"Come on, Shinichi. How can a detective not witness the results of his own deductions with his own hands?"

Nodding excitedly, under the guidance of Dr. Agasa, Conan carefully fixed the watch in the frame in the center of the device, then closed the lid and began to adjust the angle of the lenses through the external knobs.

Finally, as a faint beam of light passed through the lens, when the pointer moved to the "3" position, Conan saw the dark interior of the box through the observation hole, and the watch lens cover was shining with a layer of silver light.

"Clear Eyes", the name of the next pointer was revealed.

The dual timelines that had been observing Conan's actions immediately knew the name of the pointer, and the next second they immediately started to act.

……

Just like the current guidance of Miyano Shiho and Miyano Akemi in the [story timeline].

Under its guidance, after hesitating for a long time, Miyano Akemi finally agreed to let Shiho make that call.

Then she saw her sister's expression change from happy at first to hesitant.

Mingmei's heart tightened at her sister's hesitation. She whispered to Xiang Zhibao, "What's wrong?"

Miyano Shiho's expression became a little hesitant, and it was obvious that she was also thinking about whether to continue.

However, after learning about her sister's situation, Shiho hoped that her sister could escape from the organization.

Finally, Shiho said softly, "Ms. Miyano agreed, but..."

"but what?"

"Sister, do you know why you were sent to that bank as an undercover agent?"

Miyano Akemi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting her sister to suddenly mention this question, and she was a little confused.

"Isn't it for 1 billion yen?"

Miyano Shiho lowered her eyes and shook her head gently.

"Ms. Miyano told me that the real mission is—"

"In one week, you need to steal three items from the bank. Ms. Miyano said that after that, the organization will not only allow you to leave, but will also not target that undercover agent in future operations."

"They are three jeweled hands called 'Clear Eyes'."

This is the second reason why Lin Sheng said that the [story timeline] was too much. The story line chose to directly change Miyano Akemi's mission.

Since the core of the "10 Billion Yen Case" is "Miyano Akemi", then just let her pick out three pointers and let Conan notice them -

As long as Gin and Vodka disappear with the three pointers in the end, it will be useless for Conan, who has doubts in his heart, to take back the pointers with the help of the alliance.

Just like the first brick of a wall is laid in the wrong place, the [story timeline] of the "brewery" can cause Conan to doubt the authenticity of the second pointer at any time.

In this way, the story line can directly grasp the lifeblood of the ceremony.

At the same time, the [Real Timeline], whose power has doubled, is also cheating.

"We've retrieved information about the undercover agent known as the 'Black Organization,' and their next target is related to the collection that will soon be shipped to the Beihua Branch of the Shiling Bank!"

"Let's contact Siling Bank first and see if we can get it before the goods arrive. No—"

Sitting in the highest reconnaissance command post of the Tokyo Investigation Headquarters, Kudo Yusaku frowned as he stared at the information in front of him.

"Replace all security personnel with our own. At the same time, find out which collection they are targeting, and what day or period the collection will be shipped over."

The logic of the [Real Timeline] is simpler and more crude, and is directly targeted at the preparation of the story line.

Kudo Yusaku's voice sounded flat, as if he was deciding what to eat for lunch.

"If their operation lasts for one day, we will stop all the delivery vehicles going to the Mihua branch on that day. If their operation lasts for one month, we will stop all the delivery vehicles going to the Mihua branch within that month!"

"This is inevitable..."

As his eyes swept over the office, the questioning voices in the office immediately disappeared.

As the highest officer of the GSSRA investigation department, Kudo Yusaku has such status and power in the department——

Especially after Hattori Heiji and Sato Akiji, whom he sent out, brought back important information.

Yusaku's orders are absolute.

Obviously, the [story timeline] and the [real timeline] will struggle for the dominance of the "Mihua Branch" during this period.

They didn't care about the alliance's actions at all. Lin Sheng's performance had made them sure that the alliance's investment this time would be extremely limited.

In this way, the winner of the second pointer will inevitably be born on one side of the dual timeline -

No?
