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

Chapter 150: Xiaolan, trying not to forget (Be strong! Xiaolan said to herself)

For Dr. Agasa, who took off his mask after Conan left, the information told to him by the disguised timeline made him a little anxious.

How can I get the case started? Or, how can I get Conan to go to the Beika branch with a reasonable reason?

Even from what Conan told me today about the strange necklace theft, the [story timeline] has even begun to try to get Akemi to show up in front of Conan on her own initiative.

This is undoubtedly a manifestation of the [story timeline] once again having the upper hand, even though the reality relies on Conan still being a child and needing to go to school to slow down the progress of the case.

However, the appearance of the "Junior Detective Team" still provides a perfect excuse for the story line.

This can even be said to be a move that kills three birds with one stone in the [story timeline]——

Make sure that the clue of the case lies with yourself, make sure of Mingmei's importance, and fight against the alliance and the reality.

Even Dr. Agasa took a few risks and tried to give some hints to Kogoro Mori.

After all, according to the original trajectory, it should have been Kogoro Mouri who took Conan and Ran Mouri to the bank.

But the result?

Although he knew it wasn't Kogoro's fault, the result he got still made Dr. Agasa curse:
"That guy Kogoro! He just happens to have a personality of an alcoholic. He's always drunk when he calls!"

Even Dr. Agasa could notice that Conan had become a little depressed recently. For an existence whose mentality could undoubtedly affect the entire universe, this was definitely not a good phenomenon.

Of course, Xiaolan is undoubtedly a good option, but Dr. Agasa really can't bear it, and can't make any hints to this child. He even has to hide from the child these days.

According to the original inertia of the story line, the disguised timeline cannot reveal to Xiaolan anything "she shouldn't know."

Besides, if the story line was "reset" in the second case for either himself or Xiaolan, it would only postpone the failure of the alliance by a few seconds.

"Ugh--"

With a long sigh, Dr. Agasa now felt that he had really done everything he could.

I can only hope that everything goes well for Kaito and Yamazaki.

For Ran Mao Li, sometimes she really would rather not know the truth.

This sophomore student at Teitan High School started praying from the night he discovered the truth, whether it was for Conan, Shinichi, or himself.

Her prayers only brought her loneliness and helplessness, except for the premonition in her heart.

Can't say anything...

There's nothing I can do...

The time to go out, the things to do, her own unintentional expressions, and even many things she could do in the past were no longer possible.

Prepare some useful food for Conan before he goes out——

No.

Remind Conan to bring his magnifying glass when he goes out to investigate——

No.

Even the conversation at breakfast, when Kogoro Mouri asked about Shinichi.

"Xiaolan, you don't seem to have spoken to that Shinichi kid on the phone much lately, right?"

"No, Dad! I just—"

Then the warning in her heart sounded again, which made her feel sad and heartbroken in an instant. Even with the alarm ringing in her heart, she couldn't even look at Conan at that time, and even had to smile.

Finally, she could only say softly, "I'm just worried about disturbing Shinichi from solving the case."

Then that night, her inner warning told her to take the initiative to call Shinichi.

God knows how sad Xiaolan was when she saw Conan find an excuse to leave the office.

Xiaolan felt as if she was being forced by some force to act according to a fixed "template", even more rigid than when she didn't know all this.

This even made Mao Lilan look extremely haggard.

In her heart, Xiaolan said to herself, "Be strong! Hold on for one more day!"
Xiaolan doesn't even know if one day in the future she will "forget" something because of some dream talk or movement while sleeping.

All she could do was pray before going to bed every night that she would remember it the next day.

In fact, Xiaolan had originally set the vibration alarm on her mobile phone. She originally planned to wake up every hour at night to make sure she remembered.

But even that wouldn't work. -- He couldn't do anything that would make Conan realize that he knew he was Shinichi.

For some reason, Xiaolan found that she could no longer enter Dr. Agasa's house.

[Story Timeline] But he is very wary of Dr. Agasa! The story line is like this: he is wary of Dr. Agasa, the character who threatened him.

It didn't even allow Professor Agasa to communicate with Ran Mouri even a single word.

Everything that happened to Xiaolan made Dr. Agasa feel uncomfortable and sad.

Even in the doctor's opinion, Xiaolan is inevitably sliding into the abyss of oblivion.

Dr. Agasa knows very well how heavy the psychological burden is that is difficult for ordinary people to bear, and Ran Mouri is just a high school student, and even her "personality" seems a little fragile.

Judging from Conan's reaction, he is now worried about Xiaolan's abnormal behavior these days. If this continues, it is almost a foregone conclusion that Xiaolan will be [reset].

Fortunately, Kaito and Anko completed this task by accident.

For mortals in the timeline, the only way to fight against the dual timeline is to rely on Conan's power.

For Conan, what could be more pressing than finding out who the "Clear Eyes" are during this period of time?

After all, gods are difficult to play with.

……

For Kaito, the first person he wanted to "hint Conan" in his dream was Xiaolan.

Before the dream meeting ended, Dr. Agasa expressed his concerns to Kaito, who told Xiaolan the truth.

However, the Narrative Studies Department said that this problem is actually easy to solve.

"The root of the problem is that Conan doesn't want Xiaolan to realize that she is Shinichi, and he thinks that this will protect the people around him."

"We just need to make Ran realize that if she makes Conan realize that she can help him, the constraints on her will be loosened because Conan's subconscious stereotype of her will change."

"It can be seen from the fact that Conan acknowledged some of your character designs regarding the Alliance. If Conan himself did not approve of the character designs compiled by the dual timelines, they would not be able to modify the people around Kudo Shinichi at all."

What detective wouldn't want to have a lucky Watson as his assistant, who has an intuition that can almost be said to be able to predict the future?

"If we respond well, we can even turn passivity into initiative."

"After all, if Conan were to acknowledge Mao Lilan's premonition in subsequent actions, it would be a huge advantage for the alliance."

Then Hongzi found that she couldn't enter Xiaolan's dream at all, or rather, her dream was not peaceful at all.

From what Anko could see, the second Kaito stepped into the circle, blood started seeping out of him.

Then there was Kogoro Mouri—"Damn, he doesn't remember anything about this!"

After observing Kogoro Mouri for half a day, Kaito admitted with a grim expression that this confused detective had wasted their attempt.

And when Kaito looked towards the center of the magic circle, looking at the thin layer of time crystal, his expression became more solemn.

"One last chance, Kaito."

Hongzi was also a little nervous. If they failed this time, they would really have to sit back and watch the [story timeline] itself guide the start of this case.

"and……"

Hongzi's tone sounded apologetic, because Kaito was seriously injured when she tried to enter Ran's dream for the first time, and she had to use part of the crystal to recall Kaito's condition.

"I can only help you sneak into a very short dream, and that person cannot be someone around Conan."

This is simply an impossible task.

This requires Kaito to give a hint in a very short dream that is not noticed by the dual timelines, and it must be profound enough for the person to remember the dream after waking up. It is best to be able to do this the next day after the dream. She must even be able to indirectly guide Conan to discover that the "Mika Branch" is a key point without her knowledge.

Faced with the conditions listed by Hongzi, Kuroba Kaito smiled.

How could he have forgotten that perfect candidate?

The answer couldn't be simpler, right?
This can even fulfill Dr. Agasa's instructions to Xiaolan and free her from the constant worry and fear.

Are you worried that you'll forget that Conan is Shinichi?
To Kaito, who has an IQ of 400, the solution is really simple.
