In a hidden corner behind those individuals, Hanyu Nan stood silently, his gaze fixed on the "APTX-4869" that Gin held in his hand, his heart filled with silent astonishment.
He murmured in a low voice, "This is the miraculous drug that can make people return to their youth! It's just a pity that its mortality rate is truly too high..."
Suddenly, Gin seemed to sense something amiss. He vigilantly turned his head to look at the wall behind him and sharply demanded, "Who? Who's there!"
Gin's intuition instantly heightened his alert, but after scanning his surroundings, he found no suspicious figures.
At the same time, Vodka, who was beside him, quickly raised his pistol and aimed at the wall. However, like Gin, he also saw no trace of any enemy.
Vodka asked in confusion, "Big Brother, what happened?"
"Nothing, perhaps I'm just being overly sensitive," Gin gently shook his head, trying to calm his tense emotions.
After all, the Detective brat who had been trailing them had caused them quite a bit of stress. With that, Gin turned around, patted his hat, and then, with his head down, left the scene with Vodka.
At this very moment, Hanyu Nan, who had already quietly retreated into the shadows, had not moved an inch. He was like an invisible man, silently observing everything, pondering his next plan... Perhaps this was what people often called the sixth sense! If it were an ordinary person, when someone stood silently behind him, staring intently for a long time, even the most oblivious would instinctively feel a sense of alarm and reaction.
What's more, a cold-blooded killer like Gin, who had endured countless life-and-death trials and had blood on his hands, would have long since perished if he didn't possess extraordinary abilities.
However, Hanyu Nan had no intention of dealing with Gin and Vodka.
After all, these two would be a great help in him acquiring spiritual energy in the future. As for how to deal with them, he would leave that to the protagonist's team to worry about.
Hanyu Nan even began to think about the spectacular scene of Gin sweeping the Iron Tower with a helicopter; many people would surely die, and he would reap a significant harvest of spiritual energy.
A moment later, after confirming that Gin and Vodka had indeed left, Hanyu Nan turned and stepped out, his gaze falling upon Shinichi Kudo, who was lying curled up on the ground.
"Ah..."
At this moment, Shinichi Kudo, curled up on the ground, suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream.
Hanyu Nan observed Shinichi Kudo with interest, filled with intense curiosity about the miraculous process of Shinichi Kudo's body shrinking.
"A close-up."
Pointing his phone at Shinichi Kudo, Hanyu Nan had been secretly filming since he started observing. This thing would be very useful in the future.
Shinichi Kudo let out a piercing shriek, and then his body began to shrink slowly at a visible speed. This bizarre and astonishing change lasted for about ten minutes.
Eventually, the original Shinichi Kudo transformed into a child; lying before Hanyu Nan now was no longer the famous Detective, but our familiar Conan Edogawa.
Witnessing the scene before him, Hanyu Nan pondered inwardly, "It seems necessary to get in touch with Shiho Miyano in the future."
Looking at Shinichi Kudo, who had transformed into Conan, Hanyu Nan decided to get to know this exceptionally talented girl.
Ahem, of course, he was absolutely not coveting the fact that she was a legal loli.
Just then, the light from a patrolman's flashlight appeared in the distance, and Hanyu Nan also turned and quickly departed, disappearing into the darkness. Before leaving, he whispered:
"Goodbye, Shinichi Kudo."
After spending some time getting out of the park, Hanyu Nan continued along the road for a while before finally successfully hailing a taxi.
He definitely needed to buy a car sometime; many plots in Conan simply wouldn't work without one.
Have you not seen Kogoro Mouri's car break down every time he goes out?
He just didn't know if he could get a driver's license now that he was 17.
As for money, Hanyu Nan wasn't worried at all; not to mention the pile of inheritance his parents left behind, which he couldn't spend all of.
If he really ran out of money, Renya Karasuma's "Twilight Manor" was entirely made of gold!
Just chipping off two pieces would be enough. But he wondered, did Renya Karasuma gather all the gold in the world into his house?
Currently, all the gold reserves in the world combined wouldn't fill a swimming pool. For such a large villa, the materials alone for its construction would be astronomical.
Of course, this is a "Conan-science" world! Just understand it... Amidst the talkative driver's incessant chatter, he finally arrived home.
His own three-story villa, yet he was still living alone, which was truly sad.
Now Hanyu Nan felt he especially needed a young lady to comfort his heart.
Of course, if more young ladies came, he could handle it. Bring it on.
Before Conan appeared and there was no spiritual energy, he hadn't felt that life was empty. Back then, he was just laying low. Although the Water Plant was full of undercover agents, being too ostentatious would not be fun if he got noticed.
"Hey, System, I have spiritual energy now, aren't you going to strengthen me?" Hanyu Nan flopped onto the sofa and casually asked.
He waited for a long time, but the System didn't respond. If it weren't for the prompt when he absorbed spiritual energy earlier, Hanyu Nan would have thought the System had run away.
He flipped through his phone; at this time, the only mobile game was Snake. The technology in Conan's world was definitely problematic.
It was still an old-fashioned phone. After Conan appeared and the world line had problems, perhaps tomorrow the news would report the successful development of smartphones, and the day after, they would be directly on the market for purchase.
After playing Snake for a while, Hanyu Nan felt a bit sleepy and was too lazy to go back to his room to sleep, so he just lay on the sofa with his eyes half-closed and drifted off.
He had barely been asleep for an hour when Hanyu Nan was suddenly woken up by the System's prompt sound. He rubbed his eyes and sat up from the sofa.
"Ding, System detected sufficient spiritual power and has performed a random enhancement."
"Detected that an item around the host has been randomly enhanced. Please choose the direction of enhancement..."
(Randomly enhanced item: a round stone from the host's doorstep.)
Enhancement Direction One: A perfect stone that can definitely skip 20 times on water.
This option requires 1 point of spiritual energy.
Damn, it's one word.
Enhancement Direction Two: A spirit stone from A certain world with spiritual energy. Absorbing the spirit stone grants 5 points of spiritual energy.
This option requires 5 points of spiritual energy.
No, what are you doing here? Am I spending 5 points or 5 points?
Enhancement Direction Three: Improved "Snake Talisman" from a part of the power of the Holy Lord in A certain world, possessing the functions of invisibility and group invisibility, and cannot be observed by any means. (Who saw my Snake Talisman! — Holy Lord)
This option requires 10 points of spiritual energy.
