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

Chapter 359 What Does "Time Travel" Really Require? (10,000 words per day!)
As we all know, the "Conan" who went to the [Type-Moon Universe] is more like the result of a joint creation by Lin Sheng and the [Conan of this universe].

A "time point" of Conan Edogawa himself, after being divided up by himself, is then fixed by Lin Sheng using the "constancy" of the CYZ effect.

Upon closer examination, this is actually a rather dangerous move.

Just like how Shinichi Kudo's power can be doubled simply by finding the "pointer"—

There is no difference between Conan Edogawa at different points in time; there is no question of the past version being weaker than the future version.

Therefore, although he "illogically" obtained an equally powerful [Edogawa Conan].

But what if Conan, who is now "imprisoned" in the [Type-Moon Universe], says he doesn't want to leave...?

The Alliance couldn't do anything about him either.

Even if Lin Sheng could try to "remove" the CYZ effect and repair this "contradiction".

but--

This sounds even more dangerous.

So now is the benefit of being on the "side of justice," especially for detectives like "Conan."

Do you need a reason to save someone?

So, Conan "eagerly" accepted this glorious mission.

The two Conans even got into an argument at the time.

Magic is something that holds immense appeal for detectives.

Considering the unknowns and mysteries hidden in another universe, that attraction is three times greater.

"Sigh...you guys are really..."

Lin Sheng had to pull the two men, who were like children, apart, and then he emphasized the danger of the matter once again.

In reality, all three people present tacitly understood what was going on in their hearts—

That Conan who went there will almost certainly "die" there.

Or rather, he would "die once" before he went there.

Do you remember when you saved Ms. Miyano and Akemi Miyano?
When Conan leaves for the [Type-Moon Universe], his situation will be somewhat similar to theirs—
Part of the CYZ effect will always be a part of its composition.

This is also the core reason why the [Heroic Spirit Panel] was recognized.

This means that one of the "Conan" characters will become something like the "Seven Chapters of Conan".

That would obviously be equivalent to abandoning one's entire "self".

Conan, on the other hand, seemed quite carefree.

"No matter what, it was my fault that those people were thrown out of the universe."

Under Koizumi Akako's "chaotic magic," Conan, who drew the note that read "Leave," tightened his grip.

"It is my responsibility to rescue them."

This may be why, even after everything was over, no one in the Alliance who knew the truth could feel any resentment towards the child.

In Conan Edogawa's eyes, even if he can deduce the future of the universe, his own life is still no different from that of another life.

Even if there were only two choices: "giving up the core position" and "saving a life," and one of them had to be chosen.

This righteous detective would undoubtedly choose the latter.

However, upon closer reflection, this "respect for life" may be one of the most important reasons why it is the source of "Detective Conan".

……

Lin Sheng was quite pleased with Conan's decision.

This also rekindled his belief that his past decisions were not wrong.

"However... what I'm about to say isn't just to praise Conan for his sacrifice once again."

This guy undoubtedly made the most of his thick skin.

Throughout the entire "cycle month," Conan wore an expression that said, "I've done something amazing."

It's easy to imagine how Professor Agasa, Ran Mouri, Ai Haibara, and a whole bunch of his friends and family will react.

Even Ms. Miyano and others tried to subtly infer the situation and deduce some details.

The situation became even more chaotic after detectives such as Yusaku Kudo and Heiji Hattori joined in.

Even setting aside the keen intuition that their profession as "detectives" gave them, Yusaku, Hattori, and the others undoubtedly made a significant contribution to the plan.

Especially Yusaku Kudo, who even died once.

And these meritorious individuals did not make any difficult demands on the Alliance afterward.

Even now, they are only asking for some "clues" that the "detectives" can use.

"Mr. Lin Sheng, please rest assured."

"I will never tell this information to anyone other than myself, I guarantee that in my name as a detective."

Considering the theories of the Narrative Studies Department, it's not exactly a secret among these "parties" who are aware of "historical inertia."

And, as the [Cycle Era] continues to advance, even the most foolish person will come to know these truths.

These are detectives who have experienced much in their lives and possess sufficient judgment and rationality.

After bringing them into the "Execution Layer," Lin Sheng still decrypted the relevant files.

In any case, as long as some knowledge is listed as "detective common sense," these detectives can learn it quickly.

With their "detective buff," they can relieve some of the burden on the [execution layer].

Such a "detective game" naturally caused quite a stir.

For example, during this period, taking advantage of everyone's concern and care about this kind of sacrifice, Conan received "benefits" in various ways.

but……

Lin Sheng did not let him do whatever he wanted.

"Adding to my workload is not something a righteous detective should do."

In short, with Lin's instigation, everyone eventually "knew" about it.

It's no surprise that when Conan first "landed" on the island of Hawaii, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed that something bad was about to happen.

During his "special training" on the island of Hawaii, his coaches were all acquaintances of his.

Hehehe, the battlefield isn't so pleasant.

After all, even though Shinichi Kudo has already confessed his feelings to Ran Mouri.

But it seems that others have no intention of giving up either.

In Ai Haibara's words—

"Considering that a certain detective who manipulated the world has actually become a god who created everything..."

After weathering the storms, the emotional bonds between the people have become even stronger than before.

Even things that were once very important to them seem to have become much more acceptable to them in secret.

However, let the children decide for themselves regarding these emotional issues between them.

Lin Sheng only occasionally attends the now regularly held "Red Tea Conference" to satisfy his curiosity about the true thoughts and details of the people involved, just like when he was an ordinary person.

And this joy of seeing a "good ending" after going through all the trials and tribulations.

Perhaps only Lin Sheng himself, who has truly walked this path from the very beginning, can truly understand the experience.

……

However, this kind of thing can only be regarded as a leisurely rest outside of work.

In fact, it often takes several cycles of months to complete one such cycle.

The main reason was that the matters concerning the "Detective Conan Universe - 002" project left Lin Sheng with absolutely no chance to slack off.

After all, a universe that doesn't even have "time" naturally cannot talk about avoiding risks by seeing the future.

The situation there could even be described as more dangerous than in this universe.

It is important to understand the specific position of the historical inertia between different shells.

Or to put it bluntly, research on which stage of the "story" it has developed to has barely begun.

But without a doubt, when the [Alliance] truly began to interfere in the [Detective Conan Universe-002].

That "space" case has reached the point of "Detective Conan: The Raven Chaser"—the theatrical version where Gin uses an armed helicopter to straf the Kyoto Tower.

"After the 730,000th 'refresh' report, we have fallen into [Shinichi Kudo's] memories, or dreams."

From Conan's perspective, who secretly infiltrated the "Detective Conan Universe-002" and came from the "this universe".

This "universe" is tens of thousands of times worse than the "timeline universe" where everything is fixed.

"We need to calculate the support and determine which universe the real [Conan Edogawa] resides in."

Think about it, there's actually nothing in this "Detective Conan universe"; it's just based on the detective's own "experiences."

Therefore, when Conan Edogawa dreams that Ran is killed by Vodka and Gin...

It can be said that it really happened once.

God knows how much psychological pressure Conan, sent by the Alliance, endured the moment he witnessed that scene.

"Moreover, it appears that the number of universes is still increasing."

Through the [Cocoon System], Lin Sheng could clearly hear Conan's helpless expression on the other end.

Conan explained, "The specific logical timeline, as it stands, only exists within the cases, allowing different cases to 'occur simultaneously.'"

"I estimate that the current progress of [Detective Conan Universe-002] has reached the point where [Conan] discovers that his identity may have been exposed to the [Black Organization]."

"As for the corresponding evidence..."

Conan glanced at the familiar Teitan High School auditorium and the familiar "Black Knight," then helplessly shrugged.

"The case of 'The Desperate Revival' is ongoing. And judging from the changes in the RSI value, this is indeed true."

……

For Conan now, deduce the reason for this scene not being difficult—

For example, if case A occurs, and case A mentions details or memories of a "past" case B.

Therefore, in the "Detective Conan Universe-002", Conan will experience two cases simultaneously due to his "knowing" and "remembering".

"This will make it easier to use as 'reasoning'..."

Conan gritted his teeth and, with a hint of anger, uttered the conclusion he least wanted to hear.

"—Only then can it serve as 'on-site evidence'."

For a detective hoping to save a life, this was a truly hellish joke.

In every "case" that mentions a past "case," the evidence is surprisingly "fresh" and "immediately available."

In order to find the killer in case A, the killer in case B, for a certain reason, must commit another crime, the victim must die again, and the case may even be solved again.

"But what if... the memories from a case are enough to connect the entire beginning and end of the [historical inertia], that is, related to the 'main storyline'?"

Conan didn't even want to think about it any further.

"In fact, the further we go, the more cases and memories we accumulate, the more complicated and troublesome things become."

"What about cases where the past has been altered?"

Lin Sheng sent over the plan compiled by the [Execution Layer].

"The research team has already conducted in-depth research on the cause and effect of the entire 'main storyline of the case'."

Then, he "quickly" received Conan's response that "this method is not feasible".

The detective's tone sounded somewhat grave.

"No, I have a hard time explaining the phenomenon of 'time not existing yet happening'."

"At the moment the 'case' occurs, time and causality still exist, and the past will be corrected by the memories of the future Conan."

"In general, these cases have been preserved as 'evidence'."

Therefore, the main task of the alliance within the [Detective Conan Universe-002] has now become "finding out which case is actually happening."

Conan even suspected—

Detective Conan: The Raven Chaser may also be a kind of "memory".

……

Fortunately, this discovery has also led to some research results.

Currently, a "Case Leap Machine" is under development, which uses the "background influence" of the "case" to allow Conan to "leave" and travel to the "past" cases through hints and memories.

Moreover, it was entirely developed by Dr. Agasa, who knew the truth, using "local" technology—

In other words, by utilizing the elements of "existence index" and "rendering level", and by borrowing Conan Edogawa's own assessment of the authenticity of environmental details, as well as the changes in details of "historical inertia", it is possible to "appear" in different "historical cases".

In fact, after discussing it with Professor Agasa, Conan quickly made a decision—

They should "move forward".

Because without a doubt, there is a point, an initial "case," that will never change.

It's even mentioned in every so-called "theatrical version".

That is "The Roller Coaster Murder Case".

Conan then summarized this.

"Considering the universe that Professor Agasa has created at this moment, it is indeed possible to make certain changes."

"Before further enhancing the CYZ effect by influencing [persona] or [historical inertia], and engaging in further communication and exchange."

"For now, we'll consider this as the universe where [Conan Edogawa] exists."

……

This information undoubtedly brought many new discoveries to the Alliance.

even--

Although the Type-Moon Universe is clearly the universe that can provide the Alliance with more information about the Shell.

However, the method of "communication" between the shells was first brought to a groundbreaking conclusion through the discovery in the Conan Universe-002.

For example, regarding Lin Sheng's method of personally going to another "shell".

If we put the "timelines" of different "universes" together for comparison.

Lin Sheng gained the "qualification" to descend into the [Type-Moon Universe] when Conan and his friends in what is roughly [Type-Moon Universe-001] pushed the [historical inertia] to the moment of "taking a picture of Saber and Irisviel".

The reason it is called "qualification" is because, based on Lin Sheng's current assessment of the situation,

There are probably still some conditions that need to be met before he can actually "go" there.

……

Now, looking at Shigenobu Hitomi, Conan, and Koizumi Akako's group in front of him, Lin Sheng finally focused his gaze on a certain high school detective.

Lin Sheng then stated the three necessary conditions that had been discovered so far.

“The true meaning of ‘two-way travel behavior’ should be related to the mechanism of the ‘shell universe’, the number of effect values, and the self-increase of the CYZ effect.”

Clearly, the most important element is the mechanism, while the latter two are even more important in ensuring the survival of the "time traveler".

"But the act of 'time travel' itself is already contradictory to the [mechanism]."

Lin Sheng glanced at the others, who all seemed to realize something, and pointed out the contradiction that made it almost impossible to do.

"Historical inertia is clearly not on our side."

"Therefore, in order to truly travel between the shells, the help of the core is obviously indispensable."

"After all, when it comes to utilizing the [mechanism], the only way we can leave right now is by using the changes caused by [Conan]."

As for what to do if some shells don't have a core...

The conclusion of the Narrative Studies Department is clear and cruel.

"So, until we discover a way to start by enhancing [historical inertia] but ultimately leave the [shell]."

"I can only blame my bad luck."

This is not difficult to understand.

To increase the "effect," changes must be made to the [persona] or [historical inertia].

From this point of view...

Just like Lin Sheng was trapped on that passenger plane bound for Japan.

Or, like those terrible situations where we couldn't really connect with [Detective Conan] at the beginning—

Strengthening historical inertia is tantamount to accelerating the process of self-destruction, and drastic changes obviously follow the same principle.

"After all, it seems that the increase in the value of a single [shell] effect is capped at present, with the total being around 10,000 strings."

"Given that the mechanism can increase without limit and the cosmic RSI background value is guided by historical inertia, it is not very meaningful."

Of course, it is also possible to separate the outside world by creating a closed area that only encloses itself and has an "RSI value of zero".

But the important thing is——

Near the [shell] is another [shell].

Just like what Conan said to Hasegawa Tsuki in [Type-Moon Universe-001].

The key is to find a way to "leave the shell", rather than "leave a certain shell".

Based on the Alliance's current research on the worldview system, this is a very pessimistic prospect.

……

Of course, this applies to the Alliance, which already has the [Universe] as its absolutely safe base.

As described by the people in the Narrative Studies Department—

"If one can gain the support of the core of a shell, even to the point of reaching the level of this universe, why leave?" Especially the methods of communication, or even interaction, between shells within the same worldview system...

Now, thanks to the discovery of the [element axis] and the detailed analysis of the CYZ effect, there have been breakthroughs.

In fact, this also reveals the deep malice that the shell harbors towards outsiders.

If Lin Sheng really does treat his own effects as a kind of "superpower" as he did at the beginning.

Perhaps he really can join the "Red Team" and become a superpowered individual who doesn't disrupt the "historical inertia" and even follows it.

Alternatively, one could become an interstellar traveler with the ability to "time," far removed from Beika Town or even Earth.

But clearly, he was destined to miss out on all of this discovery and departure.

Furthermore, considering that most discoveries cannot avoid one of the manifestations of the [mechanism] itself, namely the help of the [core] person.

No matter what I do, it seems like a dead end.

For example, the discovery of the [Element Axis].

If it weren't for Conan's answer in "Detective Conan Universe-002," no one would have noticed the difference between the effect values.

After all, it's easy to see that the CYZ effect can increase itself.

Regardless of whether it's the dual timelines or the alliance's proactive counterattack.

Or is it the increase in Lin Sheng's total effect value after each [ritual case] is completed?

It's not hard to link this to Lin Sheng's influence on important figures in the "Shell Universe".

And if one didn't see it with their own eyes, who could possibly discover it?
It's surprising that effect sizes can differ from one another!

To be honest, even Lin Sheng would have had a hard time noticing the most subtle difference if Conan himself hadn't personally "explained" it.

After all, using the CYZ effect usually means encountering a "difficult to solve" problem.

The purpose of using it is obviously mostly to obtain a relatively certain result directly.

Even within the current [Alliance], outside of professional research departments, very few people observe the "process" of its operation.

After all, observing the CYZ effect is inherently a very difficult task.

Its "conscious interference" means that it is difficult for users to distinguish whether the method of "selection" of effect value is influenced by the user's "subconscious".

Bai Zichen from the Research Department gave a simpler and clearer explanation at the Executive Meeting than the Narrative Department did.

"No one can make a judgment by deviating from their own 'material properties,' and such influences are inherently impossible to deviate from."

"Just like the description of 'wanting something,' when you choose to use the word 'desire' to describe it, this thought is fundamentally associated with the concepts of 'thirst' and 'wish.'"

"To give a practical example, when I want to go to the 'Conan Year One' and issue commands to the CYZ Effect, I will travel through time based on the 'timeline'."

"So, why use the 'timeline' method to achieve this?"

"Everyone knows the idealistic nature of the effect. Without considering the consumption, it is entirely possible to achieve other methods such as 'memory appropriation' and 'consciousness overwriting,' or even replace it in a [loop] pattern."

"But they chose the 'timeline' approach."

At that time, Bai Zichen patiently posed a question.

"Could the effect size itself also have some kind of bias?"

As for the answer, it is indeed quite similar to the question.

The CYZ effect does indeed have a "biased" nature.

……

In fact, when the CYZ Effect Research Institute turned its attention back to this issue...

They were surprised to find that this characteristic had actually been discovered and recorded by the Alliance long ago.

"It was actually mentioned by the alliance a long time ago: the [decoding] or [comprehensibility] of the effect."

To make it easier to understand, Lin Sheng recreated the timeline when he used magic and time manipulation abilities, in front of the other people who were joining the meeting for the first time.

"While both involve influencing distant galaxies, Akako's magic doesn't need to consider the detective's logic."

"Before Conan discovers it, as long as she thinks this magic will cause 'celestial changes,' it can produce results."

"However, if we use the perspective and ability of timeline to complete this task, the CYZ effect will automatically provide a reason that is consistent with detective knowledge."

To put it more simply, 'start' and 'result' can be understood as two positions on a coordinate axis.

As the person who discovered this characteristic, Conan reached out and drew a three-dimensional coordinate axis in the air.

"The process is where the effect will be completed."

"Both aim to reach a certain plane by flying upwards, to the upper right or to the upper left, and both can achieve the desired result."

“In this process, we can even find an infinite number of subdivisions, which is what the current research layer calls the element axis.”

……

can only say--

Without discussing the fundamental nature of the CYZ effect, the CYZ Effect Research Institute is unrivaled in its application research alone.

After the unit of "string" was subdivided, a more effective way to utilize the effect was quickly found thanks to Conan's discovery.

The final conclusion reached by the research team was very simple.

This is similar to optimizing a 'spell model'.

In this universe, achieving one's goals through a 'timeline' is more convenient than through methods such as 'magic' or others.

Therefore, the feature of timeline is undoubtedly one of the "elements" of this universe.

In addition, there are probably a series of other elements such as "detective," "murder," and "black-clad," or further subdivisions.

"The reason for this phenomenon... could be considered as utilizing part of the [mechanism] to cause the effect to actively 'hijack' a form that is easier to achieve the goal."

After all, taking the cable car up the mountain is definitely easier than walking.

In a report received by the Executive Level, a joint study by the Narrative Studies Department and the CYZ Effect Research Institute even suggested that...

This is also why it is difficult for ZC-01 to travel to a specific "universe".

The CYZ effect located in other shells cannot achieve the meaning of "positioning".

The locations they send back are all their own locations within this universe!

……

Conan, who remained in the "Detective Conan Universe-002" and possessed the "Detective Conan Universe Narrative Engine," subsequently provided even more detailed verification.

"That's certainly how it should be."

"Otherwise, it's hard to explain why it's always much simpler to contact [this universe] in reverse than for [this universe] to actively contact us."

"Based on the current differences in the two types of CYZ effect values, under the same low RSI value anchored environment, the details of the influence of the [this universe] and the [zero two universe] are indeed different."

After Conan painfully used the first string to separate the "effect value of this universe" from the "effect value of the self-increased value of the zero-two universe," the result became clear.

"The TC and CC values ​​of [Universe Zero Two] hardly changed, they were simply zero, and it was accomplished by simply changing the PLS and CS values."

(Note: TC stands for temporal consistency; CC stands for causal consistency; PLS stands for physical law stability (modified); CS stands for consciousness synchronization.)
There are, of course, many advantages to separating them.

"So based on the permissions you gave me, Lin Sheng, it seems that the daily self-replenishment effect based on the influence on Professor Agasa is about 3 strings."

This is also why the situation in the "Detective Conan Universe-002" is more severe than in the "Main Universe".

If we say that Conan Edogawa in this universe is merely a "pale sun" occupying 99.99% of the "mass".

The role of the other characters in "Detective Conan Universe - 002" can only be described as pitifully small.

It's important to know that after the moment when [this universe] "kidnapped" Professor Agasa, the [Alliance]'s power rapidly expanded to the point where it recklessly recruited talent all over the world.

At that time, the daily effect value could even exceed 100.

So much so that before Shinichi Kudo actually shrunk, the League had already pulled off a major operation like the "Gray Team".

On the other end of the "phone," Conan's voice sounded unusually distressed.

"If even Professor Agasa, who plays a very important role in the 'historical inertia,' only has three strings..."

"Don't worry about that. You can increase it accordingly by influencing [historical inertia] and [Conan] himself."

Lin Sheng interrupted Conan's complaints.

"The alliance itself also possesses the technology of 'storing effect values' by isolating the CYZ effect through the CYZ effect."

It can only be said that the saying "science relies on archaeology" is sometimes not just a joke.

As is well known, for a period of time after the "Second Pointer Case," the alliance had a certain surplus of effect value.

So why not store it?
The answer is that doing so would be a waste.

The CYZ effect cannot be simply considered as a substance.

"Storing" means "using" it in another way.

Without further subdivision of the unit "string".

The original "storage technology" required more than ten times the effect value to store each string effect.

Considering you also need to maintain a "low RSI value area" for storage, this is simply too much of a loss.

"However, if there is a more detailed and differentiated CYZ effect, it can serve to anchor the 'elements' on the 'axis'..."

Lin Sheng didn't finish his sentence, but Conan clearly understood what he meant.

"In short, the Alliance will release as many effect values ​​as possible to you, and will preserve the effects of each string belonging to the Conan Universe-002 unless absolutely necessary."

This is also the most surprising point.

Based on the estimates of both sides, assuming all [elements] are perfectly matched.

The CYZ effect consumed in actually communicating with "background personnel" is negligible.

Because the technology of the [Loop Gate] is still usable.

That means it can be done with just 10 strings.

Compare this to communication that involves spending hundreds or even thousands of strings, without any corresponding [elements], through outward "projection".

That's incredibly economical!

……

In fact, at the very moment that the scabbard was secretly placed into Saber's body by "Hanada Rinpei"—

In fact, the self-increase of the CYZ effect should go directly to the 113th string.

And just as mentioned before.

It should be noted that every ray of the CYZ effect is inseparable from Lin Sheng, and he can sense the state of the effect.

Beyond 100 strings, the effect value becomes sufficient to provide a relatively clear point of observation. (See Chapter 24 of Volume II for details)
At least, Lin Sheng was able to use these effects to "counter" the [shell mechanism] and roughly determine the time period of [Type-Moon Universe-001] by observing its passage.

The reason why Lin Sheng "stole" this part of the effect is also very simple—

Taking "Detective Conan Universe-002" as an example, we can compare the self-increase and depletion of the effects.

To establish a "gate" that can maintain itself without external influence, the number of strings corresponding to the "universe" would be approximately 333.

This number is undoubtedly too "coincidental".

The Narrative Studies Department believes that perhaps the number of doors needed to establish between the shells is more symbolic than anything else.

For example, the number 333 seems to have some connection with the symbolism of the number three in Detective Conan himself.

So what about [Type-Moon Universe-001]?

Its mystical symbols are far too numerous, coupled with the peculiarity of its structure and the scarcity of current examples—

After all, the "Detective Conan universe" might be an isolated case.

In short, considering that Conan is doing quite well so far, and given his desire to achieve his goals, Lin Sheng has placed greater emphasis on the CYZ effects.

After all, although 103 strings seem like a lot.

Considering the Fourth Holy Grail War, which will only last about a week at most, that means there are only about 800 strings available.

After all, it's different from the "Detective Conan Universe - 002".

Although the output of that "universe" is extremely small, its security is much more guaranteed.

Conan, who remained there, was still able to use the [Conan Universe Narrative Engine] to a certain extent.

And considering that what Conan wants to accomplish is to save 50 billion people on Earth.

"If Conan knew, I believe he would understand."

At this moment, I'm looking at the data that's been compiled over there.

Lin Sheng sent the effect values ​​of those "retention observations" for the new discoveries of [Type-Moon Universe-001] to the [research layer].

"Regarding the operation of the [Distant Ideal Land], that is, the communication isolation process below the sixth dimension, we need to analyze it quickly."

"Let's add the element of 'dimensionality' to the next [Simulated Moon Universe]."

"This should be the key to preserving that universe."

"In addition, the character traits of [Weber Velvet] will be simulated in a way that replaces his and Kenneth's perspectives in the next simulation."

"Let's see if we can analyze further information from the [Third Law]."

"Also, increase the calculation factor for 'mental imagery,' which ranks thirty-fourth in the CS value of that universe's RSI background value..."

Clearly, the main force behind the research on the structure and existence logic of [Type-Moon Universe-001] is still [this universe].

Just as the Alliance is positioned as the future base for the Operations Layer in the overall context of the Type-Moon Universe-001—

The Type-Moon universe, with its element of "Heroic Spirits," is undoubtedly a natural base for recruiting "Special Forces."

Of course, it is also the least suitable place for research.

Look at the pinnacle of technology Conan has created!

Lin Sheng was simply speechless about the process.

That costume called "Barrier: Grace of the Four Saints" actually requires "gacha pulls" to create.

Furthermore, [Type-Moon Universe-001] cannot rewind time.

Time is tight, and many studies rely on luck or miracles...

Considering all these factors, it is more advantageous to use the CYZ effect, which barely exceeds 100 strings, simply as an observation window, unless absolutely necessary.

In any case, there is a sufficient CYZ effect in this universe.

Just like what Uther and Clari went through.

As long as we don't consider creating a Type-Moon universe, the Alliance can still simulate a Type-Moon universe sample located in the "low RSI value range" using Fuyuki City as the sole research window.

After all, taking advantage of that three-second pause, Lin Sheng also took the opportunity to try to make a rough backup of the [elements] of Fuyuki City.

Of course, the situation is still not optimistic.

According to Lin Sheng's estimate, in the next seven days, without considering the need for "emergency" measures—

"Although it is easier to preserve because its tendency comes from the [Type-Moon Universe], it is still impossible to retain all the redundancy of each day."

Moreover, because it's not a continuous daily income of over 800 strings.

"The most optimistic scenario is that they'll open a passage for me to pass through directly."

Although the specific needs are uncertain, considering the maintenance cost of the 333 strings in [Detective Conan Universe-002], as well as the various symbolic meanings.

Lin Sheng had a vague premonition.

Go to that [Type-Moon Universe] yourself; you might need at least 666 strings.

"If one hundred strings are used to maintain 'observation' and 'storage', then only 34 strings are truly available for emergency use."

"If we can't afford to waste resources, then we can only try to increase utilization efficiency."

Thinking this, Lin Sheng waved and sent a message to Hiroki Sawada, who was in charge of the end of the Third Cycle and the Simulated Lunar Universe.

"Hiroki, could you please give Conan, who is on the front of the [ring], a hint that he should postpone the start of the Fourth Cycle?"

The best time to simulate a lunar universe is within the loop node of the "Sixth Pointer Case".

Leaving aside the element called "virtual world" in the sixth pointer case, which has some similarities to the element of "mental imagery".

"If the fourth cycle is initiated, the corresponding preparations and security work may dilute the investment in simulations."

"We should take advantage of the fact that time in the 'virtual world' can be adjusted at will without incurring any effects, and try our best to understand the elements and structure of the [Type-Moon Universe-001]."

"Especially tell the Narrative Studies Department and the Magic Research Department to immediately incorporate the factor of the 'scabbard' isolating the five major magics into their research."

"Given that the [Shell] is currently merging—neither going to the [Outer World] nor the [Inner Sea of ​​Stars] is acceptable."

"According to the speculation of the Narrative Department, unlike those characters who already existed, once the Alliance is 'excluded,' the Shell will never give the Alliance a chance to return."

……

One can only say that upholding justice within a "worldview" that believes "justice will prevail" may bring some strange and unexpected benefits and gains.

Just like Lin Sheng just said—

If it weren't for Konan's decision to "save everyone on Earth,"

In fact, if Conan and Hasegawa Tsuki hadn't decided to "intervene" instead of "stand by,"

All of the above discoveries about "shells" are almost entirely unfounded, let alone finding any possible methods for communication between "shells".

As for the mechanism of the shell among the three elements, how should it be resolved?
