MTL - Be a Human Again From Conan-Chapter 11 fallacy of time

  Chapter 11 The Fallacy of Time

   "Damn it, why is it this nasty brat again." Mouri Detective Agency, Mori Kogoro threw the newspaper aside impatiently.

Mao Lilan took a look: "Don't say that, Dad, senior Ji Xing is really good. During this time, many people in the school were playing the card game he designed. That time I lost to Yang Nai, I can't blame Ji Xing On Senior Star."

   "Huh~" Mori Kogoro curled his lips.

  Mao Lilan has nothing to do with her childish father, picks up the newspaper and reads: "Is Senior Ji Xing's club in 2-chome...I'm going to find him in a while, you can settle your own lunch, Dad."

   "What? What are you going to do with him!"

   Not far away, Conan, who was doing his homework, also raised his head vigilantly: "Sister Xiaolan?"

Mao Lilan showed a worried face, and explained: "Since we went to the amusement park last time, I haven't seen Shinichi again, and he always shirks that he is busy with events when calling... I always feel like Shinichi Like something happened.

  Senior Ji Xing’s card game promotion has a recommendation for Shinichi, he should have met Shinichi during this time, I want to ask him. "

   "I-I see." Mori Kogoro frowned, and muttered, "That brat Kudo Shinichi is so smart, what can happen."

  He saw a ghost. Conan was speechless, and there was a bit of guilt in the speechlessness. Should I... use the voice changer to call Xiaolan a few times?

  He thought for a while and said, "Hey, sister Xiaolan, I'll go with you, okay?"

  …

   "President Ji Xing, someone is looking for her. She said she is Mao Lilan, a sophomore at Didan High School, and she brought a child with her."

  Tabletop Game Co., Ltd., the young female receptionist knocked on the door of Ji Xing's office.

   "I... um, I see, I'll be there right away."

   Ji Xing answered while doing push-ups.

From the perspective of the outside world, Ji Xing during this period can be called "the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease". The game he designed was very popular, and there were discussions in the streets and alleys. All outstanding university graduates have to respectfully call this senior high school student 'President Ji Xing'.

   But Ji Xing didn't drift at all.

  He kept in mind his original intention. Being an entrepreneur is not the goal, but getting the money and stars to build a laboratory is the goal.

  No matter karate or studies, he didn't abandon it. The operation of the club was basically handed over to his stepfather, and he was only responsible for the design.

   Or copy.

  One 'Werewolf Killer' is not enough.

  In addition, the supplementary card pack of "Werewolf Killer", three new character cards, are also planned.

   Wait for the game to become more popular, collectible cards, limited cards, hold competitions...

   There are many ways to make money.

   "Moori Ran and Conan..."

   Confused about the reason for the two of them, Ji Xing wiped his sweat with a towel and walked out.

  In the reception room, Mao Lilan was sitting on the sofa looking at the surrounding environment, and whispered: "It's really amazing, Senior Ji Xing."

  Conan curled his lips quietly, he didn't have a good impression of Ji Xing.

  Hearing the sound of the door opening, the eyes of the two shifted away, and Mao Lilan stood up immediately.

   "Senior Ji Xing, long time no see. Sorry to interrupt your work."

   "Don't, don't, don't be polite, sit down." Ji Xing said with a smile: "Sister Mao Lilan, I just wanted to visit you recently."

   "Hey, looking for me?" Mao Lilan said unexpectedly.

"I have to apologize to you first for this matter." Ji Xing said: "Have you noticed the slogan on my card game? It's actually because I didn't have enough reputation when I first sold the cards, and I didn't have enough funds to promote them. I can borrow the name of the famous detective Kudo Shinichi to attract everyone's attention.

  During this time, I have been guilty of this, and I want to seek compensation from Kudo Shinichi, and even invite him to officially become the spokesperson of our card, but I have not been able to contact him, so..."

Mao Lilan was stunned, and said disappointedly: "So it's like this, I thought Senior Ji Xing had seen Xinyi during this time... In fact, I came to see Senior Ji Xing because of this incident, I haven't seen him for a long time I’ve been to Shinichi, and I’m very worried about him.”

   "It's been a long time for you too..." Ji Xing was surprised: "So that's the case. I'm really sorry, sister Mao Lilan, that famous detective may be investigating some big case... I'm really sorry."

   Ha ha, hypocritical guy. Conan rolled his eyes secretly, you have looked for me, why didn't I know? Apologies in advance, knowing that Xiaolan will definitely not pursue it, businessman-style cunning.

  He was a little annoyed, and interjected: "Ah, Lie Lie, using him for publicity without the consent of brother Xinyi, isn't it against the law?"

  Mao Lilan hesitated, and said anxiously: "Conan, don't talk nonsense! I'm sorry, Senior Ji Xing..."

"It's okay, it's okay, this little brother is right, I didn't think about it. Japan currently has no relevant laws, and it is not illegal, but it is immoral, sorry." Ji Xing said sincerely: "Speaking of which, this little brother is ..."

   "My name is Edogawa Conan, I am a distant relative of Shinichi's elder brother's family, and I am temporarily staying at Xiaolan's elder sister's house." Conan replied.

   "Oh, kid Conan, no wonder he looks a bit like that famous detective."

   Ji Xing leaned over slightly, took off Conan's glasses, and stared at him a few times.

  Conan panicked all of a sudden, seeing Xiao Lan also looking over, he jumped up and said, "Hey, give me back my glasses!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, but it's really similar, haha." Ji Xing put the glasses on Conan again, and said to Mao Lilan: "Anyway, I'm really sorry about this matter. Kudo Shinichi, please convey my apologies to him, no, we should face to face..."

   "It's okay, Senior Ji Xing." Mao Lilan looked suspiciously at Conan who had a guilty expression: "Xinyi won't care about such things."

   I care! Conan complained, he felt that Ji Xing Qixin was even more unpleasant.

"That's right, if Kudo Shinichi came forward to clarify, my card sales would probably be cut in half. I really didn't think about it at the time, and I have to thank Kudo Shinichi for your generosity." Ji Xing rubbed Conan's head : "Kid Conan, can you give brother a chance to correct himself?"

"Ah ha ha…"

  Conan could only laugh a few times in a gregarious manner, so as not to scold Xiaolan. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat!

etc? !

  If you come forward and clarify...

   I didn't think about it at the beginning...

  Give him a chance to correct...

   Is it a coincidence?

   Is it really ill-considered? !

   This guy doesn't look like a reckless person at all!

  Why does he seem to...know that Kudo Shinichi has no way to come out to clarify? !

   even... know me...

   No, not possible!

  He nervously looked up at Ji Xing, but couldn't see anything else from Ji Xing's smile.

   Hearing Xiaolan and Ji Xing say a few more polite words with ecstasy, 'By the way, maybe it's because of his suit, senior Ji Xing looks much more mature than the last time we met', 'Oh, maybe it's the hairstyle? It feels like it hasn't been long, and senior Ji Xing's hair has grown a lot...'

after a while.

   "Then don't bother, Senior Ji Xing. Conan...Conan! Say goodbye to Brother Ji Xing."

   "Oh, goodbye, Brother Ji Xing." Conan Shensi said in disbelief.

  Ji Xing sent them out politely, looking at Conan's small figure, he murmured in his heart.

   "Sure enough, smart."

  He smoothed out the bangs on his forehead that were covering his eyes. Well, the hair has indeed grown. I'm a bit busy during this time, so I didn't have time to cut it.

   But it didn't grow suddenly like Mao Lilan said, it grew very fast.

  She said that it was not long since the last time we met, but in fact it had been almost three months. It wasn't that Mao Lilan remembered wrongly, but that she had a problem with her sensitivity to time, and she took three months as not long.

   It's not just Mao Lilan, since Kudo Shinichi became smaller, the whole world's time has gone wrong, and everyone is no longer sensitive to time, except Ji Xing, the intruder!

  In Kexue World, Conan can be a primary school student for 20 years, and there can be several springs, summers, autumns and winters in a year, and time can jump repeatedly!

   This is the characteristic of Kexue World!

   The most obvious thing is that yesterday was still July 25th, and today it becomes May 17th, but no one is puzzled by it!

   Fortunately, there is a 'backward' in the date, but the time will not really go backwards. Otherwise, when the club has not yet been established, Ji Xing will have nothing to say.

  By keeping a diary, Ji Xing gradually got used to the beating date, and would not be arrested and sent to a mental hospital for this.

  He knows that in the next few years or even decades, life may continue as usual, but he will never graduate from high school, and the age of the people around him will stay here for a long time.

  Until Conan turns back into Kudo Shinichi?

   Heh, the organization in black is still researching some kind of elixir, everyone is obviously immortal.

   Ji Xing shook his head, let's get a haircut first.

   "No...haircut?"

   “…why is my hair growing longer?”

  Suddenly, Ji Xing discovered something that he had overlooked, and fell into deep thought.

  …

  Back to the office, Conan was still concerned about the previous speculation. After jumping on the chair and taking away the newspaper that reported on Ji Xing today, he went to the place where the old newspaper was kept to flip through it.

   "Hey, brat, what are you doing?"

  Moori Kogoro was upset, he picked up Conan by his collar, but Conan didn't care, he pulled out a newspaper with both hands, it was the one that reported that Ji Xing had caught a billion-yen robbery!

   "Huh? What are you doing with this newspaper?"

  Conan didn't answer, his expression was serious.

  'No wonder, no wonder I always look at this guy a little uncomfortable, his eyes, his eyes... are different from ordinary people! '
