Chapter 268: Another Notice
Chapter 268: Another Notice
It was not until Conan was discharged from the hospital and returned home that he understood what kind of strangeness Haibara Ai was talking about.
As soon as Conan entered the gate, he felt a chill and shivered all over. Although it was not the hottest summer yet, most people on the street were wearing only one piece of clothing, and many people with good physical fitness had even started wearing short sleeves.
The gloomy atmosphere in the house was obviously abnormal.
Bacardi sat aside, playing with a dagger in his hand. It would be more accurate to say that he looked a little disappointed rather than helpless.
Conan felt a little strange and followed Haibara Ai's steps and walked behind her. The further he walked in, the more severe the cold breath became.
Huihara Ai pointed to the room. It was specially reserved for Baizhi because Baizhi was going to live here permanently.
Although Baizhi usually prefers to curl up on the sofa like a kitten, curling up with Meituan and Hello, as if this can give her a sense of security, this room has always been empty for her.
Occasionally, Baizhi would hide in her room mysteriously, not coming out for the entire day, and no one would disturb her.
This time, the room looked terribly cold and gloomy at first glance, and it was obvious that the source of the coldness came from here.
With the experience from previous times, Conan felt that he was mentally prepared enough and swallowed his saliva. However, the moment his hand touched the door handle, he was shivered again and felt goose bumps all over his body.
After calming himself down, Conan gritted his teeth and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, the scene in front of him left him dumbfounded.
At this time, Bai Zhi huddled in the corner, curled up like a newborn baby, and there was a tangible chill lingering around her body, with a faint white frost floating around.
White frost continued to wrap around Bai Zhi's body, forming layer upon layer of ice on her body, but then melting layer by layer, over and over again.
Every time when the thin ice crystals wrapped around the Angelica dahurica, it seemed as if there was another force that made it melt, over and over again.
This scene was obviously beyond everyone's cognition. No one knew what to do, and no one had ever seen this scene.
Toru Amuro, who is most familiar with Baizhi, is now far away in London and cannot come back at all. He also doesn't know what the situation is like over there.
It's really embarrassing to call them now, not to mention that it was Toru Amuro who asked them to take care of Bai Zhi, but now they've taken care of her like this...
Right now, it is very likely that Toru Amuro is with someone in the organization. If he gets caught making the phone call now, the undercover mission will be ruined.
"Is this the aftereffect of using magic?" Conan looked at Bai Zhi in doubt: "But she was only seriously injured before, what's going on with this ice crystal?"
Although Conan reads mostly detective novels, he has also read some boring and mindless magic novels.
For a while, Xiaolan was obsessed with this kind of books, and he also read some of them, but he had never seen such strange scenes.
"I don't know. This is the most serious thing I want to tell you. Baizhi should be cycling between life and death now." Huibara Ai hugged her arms. She didn't have as good a physique as Conan, and she felt a little cold.
"What do you mean by the cycle of life and death?" Conan didn't understand.
"You'll understand if you hold her hand," said Huibara Ai.
Conan was puzzled. He endured the shivering cold and walked forward to reluctantly hold Baizhi's hand.
This handshake made Conan stunned.
The air in this room was so cold that it was terribly cold, but Bai Zhi's hands were surprisingly warm.
No, we cannot say that Baizhi's hands are warm. We should say that Baizhi's hands are warm at this moment. The moment Conan held Baizhi's hand, Baizhi's hands seemed to be gradually warming up, gradually rising to the temperature that a normal person should have.
But not long after, the temperature plummeted and almost reached freezing point. If a dead body was frozen in the morgue for three days, it would probably not reach this temperature.
If Conan hadn't clenched his teeth and been mentally prepared, he probably wouldn't have been able to pull his hand out.
This bone-chilling feeling did not last long either. Baizhi's body temperature rose sharply again and returned to normal.
"When you were still asleep, I looked at Bai Zhi's pupils and observed her body's reactions and various indicators. Her physical condition was jumping back and forth between normal and abnormal." Huiyuan Ai concluded: "Combined with what she said before, that she would not die and would be resurrected, this conclusion shows that Bai Zhi should be repeating this process between life and death."
"But didn't she say that dying once is equivalent to restarting a computer?" Conan was shocked.
"No one said that restarting the computer can definitely solve all problems, right?" Huibara Ai asked back.
Conan: "..."
you're right.
"Brother..." A soft voice interrupted Conan and Haibara Ai's thoughts. They looked back and were surprised to find that in the short few minutes of their conversation, the frost began to recede significantly.
"Baizhi?" Conan hurriedly came forward, but Baizhi regained her composure again.
"Anyway, let's go out first. He looks fine." Huiyuan Ai tugged at Conan's clothes: "You keep staring at girls like this, you really look like a pervert."
Conan: "→_→Hey! What are you talking about!"
As soon as they walked out of the room, they immediately felt the temperature rise a lot. They didn't know if it was because Bai Zhi's condition had improved, but they didn't feel so cold anymore.
But when they arrived at the hall, they were both stunned. There was a man sitting in the hall. He looked very calm, had a mustache and wore black-framed glasses, but it did not hide his handsome appearance. Instead, it made him look even more elegant.
"Dad?" Conan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why are you here?"
"Your mother and I just wanted to return home, and we happened to hear that Xiaolan was in trouble, so we came to check on the situation." Kudo Yusaku took a sip of tea: "You must have concealed something from what you told the police, right?"
Of course Conan knew that he couldn't hide these words from his father, but now he really didn't know how to explain it.
"Forget it, the child has grown up and has his own secrets. But, I thought you would cheer up these two days." Kudo Yusaku said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Conan was puzzled, always feeling that there was something else behind Kudo Yusaku's words.
"Oh? Don't you know? About the preview letter of Kaito Kid?" Kudo Yusaku looked at Conan in surprise. It seemed that his son was really busy during this period and even missed this kind of news.
"Kaito Kid?" Conan's eyes widened immediately and he quickly picked up his phone. Sure enough, he saw the preview of Kaito Kid on the headlines.
Just half a month ago, a jewelry museum was opened in Japan. Among the exhibition hall’s treasures was a golden gem named the Sun.
This time, the preview letter of Kaito Kid is very simple, with only one word.
