Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 215 Open and honest

As the pill entered his abdomen, it didn't take long for Hiroki to feel as if a fire was ignited in his body. At first, it seemed that it was just a burning lamp lighting up the surroundings and bringing warmth to the body, but then the flame became more intense and began to Burning every cell in the body.

Unlike Kudo Shinichi and Miyano Akemi who completed physical changes while in a coma, Sawada Hiroki, like Miyano Shiho, endured the pain caused by the scorching heat while awake. This was undoubtedly not an impact on the spirit. A severe test.

Seeing that the beads of sweat from Hiroki's forehead turned into steam in the blink of an eye, Ishino decisively opened the windows on both sides, allowing strong air convection to blow away the moisture in the car, and at the same time, Hiroki could Feel better.

Although he had long known the effects of Xiaoai's improved version of drug A, Belmode, who saw the effectiveness of this drug for the first time with his own eyes, was still distracted and took a few more glances while driving. While casting a look of approval, he also I couldn't help but sweat for the other party.

It seems that because Hiroki is only ten years old, the body change time this time did not take as long as Ishino expected. It only took less than half an hour for Hiroki's body to stop radiating heat, and his body The shape has also changed into that of a child about three years old.

Feeling that the burning sensation in his body had subsided, Hiroki, who had been trying to endure the pain with his eyes closed before, slowly opened his eyes. Only then did he realize that his hands and feet were a lot shorter, and his height had also shrunk significantly. It leaked out from under the belt.

In order for Hiroki to confirm his current situation, Bellmore thoughtfully turned the rearview mirror so that it was pointed at him, and motioned him to look in the mirror first.

Looking at the funny appearance of himself transformed into a three-year-old child in the mirror, wearing a large-sized children's suit, Hiroki couldn't help but widen his eyes, and touched his body with his hands in disbelief, thinking Make sure the scene in front of you is not some kind of hallucination or a magic trick.

"Oh my god, I can't believe it. I've really become smaller! Is there really magic in this world?" After repeatedly confirming the fact that he had become smaller, Hiroki felt that his world view was facing a huge challenge. , asked in astonishment as he looked at Ishino next to him with a calm expression, as if he was watching a very ordinary thing.

"Yes, although this medicine is ostensibly a scientific product obtained by a mysterious pharmacologist through repeated medical experiments, it is actually a magical product based on a series of accidents." Facing Hiroki's answer With searching eyes, Ishino organized his language a little and briefly explained his understanding of Drug A.

If the previous scene could barely use super sci-fi biopharmaceutical theory to explain the programmed death and regeneration of cells that cause the body to degenerate to a young age, then of course Ishino, who knew that Conan could restore himself to the size of a high school student with a glass of white wine, would only Classify this phenomenon as magic.

After listening to Ishino's mysterious explanation, Hiroki thought for a moment and concluded speechlessly: "In other words, Uncle Ishino, you don't understand the reason why this medicine is produced and how it works, but it was just like this because of some accident. It’s been manufactured, right?”

Seeing Hiroki see through the truth at a glance, Ishino gave him a thumbs up and nodded: "Well, that's pretty much it. That's why I said it's magic, because phenomena that humans can't explain scientifically are usually It can only be explained in the direction of mysticism."

Hiroki nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "Since Uncle Ishino can get this medicine, you must know the person who made it. Could it be that the scientist himself can't explain the effect of this medicine?" "At present, she can only use the theories known to mankind to explain the effect, but it is actually very far-fetched, because that explanation will directly overturn the law of conservation of matter." Having said this, Ishino hesitated for a moment. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and he smiled and reminded, "And you actually know the scientist I'm talking about."

"Someone I know?" After hearing Ishino's answer, Hiroki began to think seriously, and at the same time recounted his analysis, "Since he is someone that Uncle Ishino and I both know, and he has a closer relationship with you, That must be one of your family and friends..."

Thinking of this, Hiroki suddenly realized something, and the expression on his face gradually became more exciting. He confirmed to the other party with a hint of surprise and doubt: "Although I'm not sure whether my feeling is correct, among them, let me The only person who feels close to me as a fellow scientific researcher is Miss Xiao Ai..."

"Before today, I would never have believed that a girl younger than me could not only be proficient in computer information technology, but also have the ability to make such a drug that subverts common sense. But if she had also taken this drug and... Causes the body to become smaller, then it all makes sense!”

Hearing Hiroki make this level of speculation in just a few seconds, Ishino didn't feel much surprised. However, Belmore in front of him was shocked. He finally understood why Ishino tried so hard to save Hiroki, even at the expense of Revealing all these secrets to the other party, it turns out that this person is really a monster.

"Yes, although this medicine was not developed by Xiao Ai from scratch, this batch of medicine with miraculous effects was made by her, and she became what she is now after taking the medicine. Her actual age is actually I'm 8 years older than you." Seeing that Hiroki had guessed quite well, Ishino added calmly.

Considering that the child in front of him may have the highest known IQ in the entire science world, and is a genius who is not inferior to Einstein at all, Ishino finally decided to tell the other party part of the truth after weighing it repeatedly in his mind.

Since you want Hiroki to join your camp and become one of the most important helpers in the development of the Kosaka Empire, there are many things that you need to tell him sooner or later and use his power to solve the problem. Rather than mentioning it when you need the other party's help, It's better to be honest and sincere from the beginning.

Seeing the other party's original appearance, Ishino continued to explain: "In addition to Xiao Ai, there are two other people who have taken this medicine so far, namely Conan and Xiaosaki..."

After hearing Ishino explain the original identities and ages of the two, Hiroki became more curious and said: "If Miss Kosaki also took medicine to become smaller, then the dependence Miss Koai showed on her would be explained. But I didn’t expect that Conan-kun turned out to be a high school detective, I thought he was just a kid who loved detective games.”

Thinking that Conan in his daily state is indeed a bit childish, Ishino nodded in agreement and said: "You are right to say that. Even if he has not become smaller, he is just a slightly smarter older child."
