Chapter 953 Children Who Haven’t Grown up × 2

Kudo Shinichi's process of getting smaller and then bigger was painful, but in terms of time, it wasn't very long.

From the time Nobuhiro took him out of the car until they returned safely, it only took more than ten minutes.

Seeing Kudo Shinichi's expression return to normal, Mao Lilan breathed a heartfelt sigh of relief. She seemed relieved, but not entirely relieved.

"Are you really okay?" Mao Lilan asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Kudo Shinichi was afraid that she would find out the clues, so he replied pretending to be impatient.

Nobushige started the car while calculating the changes in the human body's drug resistance.

The first pill lasted a full day, twenty-four hours, but the second pill only lasted eight hours. Assuming a linear relationship between the number of pills taken and drug resistance, the third antidote will be effective for less than three hours!

Considering the possible traffic jams in downtown Tokyo, Nobuhiro realized that he had to speed up as much as possible to ensure that Kudo Shinichi would be lost to his parents before the antidote wore off.

So in the next half of the journey, the two couples in the car experienced the revenge of the "singles"!

When the car stopped at the door of Kudo's house, Toyama Kazuha, who never got car sick, was already lying on the side of the car and vomited, feeling dizzy and dizzy.

"W-what are you doing?" Hattori Heiji asked.

Even though he seems to be looking aggressive, Hattori Heiji's steps are actually vain.

Nobuhiro didn't have time to explain to them, he grabbed Kudo Shinichi and walked to Kudo's house.

In the car just now, Kudo Shinichi had been enduring the pain of becoming smaller due to Mao Lilan, but he could not escape Nobuhiro's sharp eyes. Apparently the antidote wore off faster than they expected.

"Ding dong——" Nobuhiro pressed the doorbell and waited anxiously.

"Come on, come on, who is it?"

Kudo Yukiko opened the door and said in surprise: "Ah, Shinichi is back?"

However, before she could take a good look at her long-lost son, Kudo Shinichi suddenly disappeared with a "bang". Immediately afterwards, Kudo Yukiko caught a soft meat dumpling!

"..." Kudo Yukiko hugged Conan and said with a strange expression, "H-welcome home, Conan-kun."

Conan still had Kudo Shinichi's clothes hanging on his body. He buried his head in his mother's arms and didn't want to talk.

It's too difficult. The so-called social death is nothing more than this.

Due to the cover of Nobushige's body, no one in the car could clearly see the process of Kudo Shinichi becoming smaller.

Seeing him coming back, Mao Lilan asked worriedly: "Seeing that you are so anxious, has something happened?"

"It's nothing." Nobushige replied pretending to be calm, "It's just that Kudo hasn't seen his parents for a long time, and he got excited over small things."

"Is that so?" Mao Lilan looked back at Kudo's house doubtfully, but the door of Kudo's house had been closed and she couldn't see anything.

It's just that I always feel that Shinichi doesn't seem like the kind of person who relies heavily on his parents...it's really strange.

…

The next day——

After many recent events, Nobushige finally had time to send his sister to school, even though Haibara Ai had stated to him more than once that he was not a child and there was no need for him to reluctantly fulfill his brother's moral obligations.

"I heard that the effect of the third antidote yesterday only lasted for more than two hours?" Haiyuan asked sadly while walking on the road.

Nobushige nodded: "Well, drug resistance is much more serious than we thought."

"It doesn't count. I had expected that the effect of the medicine would only get shorter and shorter. More than two hours is already much better than my worst assumption. If you really want to spend three days in Dongao Sui Village, I will There is a high probability that I will ask Dr. Ali to deliver medicine to you."

"You made a new antidote?"

"Well, as long as there are enough materials for this kind of thing, you can do as much as you want, but I think it's pointless to simply repeat failed products. I guess Edogawa doesn't want to take medicine every hour or even half an hour, right?"

Haihara Ai said with a headache, "So the focus is to prolong the efficacy of the drug until the antidote is permanent. But my current research progress is still far behind. The stability of the antidote produced is too poor, and it does not meet the conditions for clinical trials. .”

"Is it stable..." Nobuhiro frowned, "This is a bit like Silver Bullet. In order to overcome the problem of insufficient stability, the research team spent nearly a year."

Haibara Ai once again heard about Silver Bullet from Nobutano, and she asked curiously: "What does Silver Bullet study?"

"To be precise, Silver Bullet is the name of a toxin, a biological toxin produced by a virus." Nobuhiro added, "The poison gas used to execute you was a variant of Silver Bullet. I once suspected that it was the cause of your amnesia. Might have something to do with it.”

Haiyuan Ai fell into deep thought. After a while, she said: "After recovering my memory, I checked my brain and found no traces of damage, so I always thought that I had amnesia caused by excessive shock."

"Do you think you will be too frightened?" Xinfan asked with a smile.

"What's weird about this? Of course I would be frightened by those guys." Thinking of Gin's ruthless face at that time, Haihara Ai was still frightened. "I have always been a very cowardly person and I have never changed."

Nobushige couldn't help but rub Haihara Ai's smooth head: "It's not okay to underestimate yourself so much. I think you are a very strong child."

Hui Yuan Ai's face froze: "What did you say?"

"Isn't it? It is precisely because you are afraid that you resolutely leave the organization and become a pawn who is dormant and wants to tear them apart, which makes you appear more independent and stronger."

"...No, I mean, kid?"

"That's right." Nobushige said matter-of-factly, "Even seventeen-year-old Miyano Shiho is just a kid who hasn't grown up in my eyes."

Huiyuan Ai suddenly felt helpless.

Well, if you have to say that, it seems to make sense.

But when will Asano Nobushige really put them on an equal footing with him? Instead of taking it for granted that he should be their protector, like now.

Nobushige obviously didn't understand Haibara Ai's intention, and his thoughts were still focused on what he said before: "Since Silver Bullet has solved the problem of stability before, its experience may also be useful in the development of antidotes. I think I Let’s find an opportunity to go to Sweden recently and get the information back.”

"Do you have a suitable reason?" Hui Yuan Ai asked worriedly, "Otherwise, if you stepped down as the head of Northern Europe and suddenly returned after so long, I'm afraid it would arouse the suspicion of those guys."

"Don't worry." Xinfan smiled, "Of course I can find a way to go through it openly."

It is not impossible to leave Japan without telling the organization, but the price required to do so is too high. In comparison, Nobuhiro has a better way.
