Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 3 Weird discovery

When he got home, he took off his coat and hung it on the hanger at the door. He put on his slippers. Koji Shimizu walked to the sofa and sat down. He turned on the TV and tuned to the playback program.

Not long after he sat down, he immediately got up and went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator and get a can of iced drink. Then he returned to the sofa with satisfaction, crossed his legs, and continued watching TV.

It wasn't even eight o'clock in the evening yet, even though the night outside the window was already filled with the sky, and Koji Shimizu didn't have the habit of turning on the lights. He opened the curtains, and the light scattered by the neon lights outside was enough.

The TV news was actually not that interesting. After all, the details were not reported. However, when the host said that there were no casualties in the robbery, Shimizu Koji felt relieved.

He thought those robbers were killing people, so Masami Hirota was in a weird mood today. Now it seems that Masami Hirota was just frightened, after all, she was just an ordinary urban woman.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow happens to be a day off. I don't think I have to go to school or go to work. Hmm?"

While talking to himself, he picked up the calendar on the table and turned the pages. As soon as he turned the calendar, Shimizu Koji suddenly felt something was wrong.

(I just made up the date)

Thursday, April 20th.

Next page, Sunday, June 2nd
  Isn't this right? !
  The sound of turning pages kept sounding. Koji Shimizu's eyes were initially confused, but gradually, in the darkness, his brows knitted together.

No, no, turn it over again——.

Looking at the huge three numbers 6-02, Shimizu Koji fell into silence, and then quickly opened the calendar again.

Keep turning forward, page, page, 3-23, 8-07, 12-14
  The time span of each day is almost mind-numbing, and time in this world is almost completely chaotic!
  And he didn't notice it at all before, and didn't even notice that he had two winter vacations in just one week! ! !
  But he completely regarded these as normal days and muddle along. In other words, his perception of time was subtly rewritten.

After swallowing his saliva, Shimizu Koji felt his hands and feet feel a little cold. He suddenly had a guess. Could it be that the reason why he didn't travel through time and be reborn again was because there was no complete week in this world?

It's possible, but it's not absolute. So far, Koji Shimizu still doesn't know why he keeps repeating the process of death and time travel.
  Oh, maybe it’s because he didn’t have the so-called golden finger of time travel before and died too quickly?
  Qingmizu Koji's thoughts raced and he thought of the so-called golden finger of time travel. Suddenly, he thought of his own swordsmanship.

And when he thought about it, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

A person has to find something to do in his life. Before, he had only practiced kendo as a casual hobby, but when he looked back, he realized that his swordsmanship was very abnormal.

If he is serious, he can directly cut off the bamboo sword with a bamboo sword. Yes, it is cutting, not breaking with brute force.
  Moreover, Koji Shimizu had always felt that if he continued to improve his swordsmanship, it would not be difficult to cut through steel——

And it’s not difficult to cut through steel
  Shimizu Koji touched his forehead and shook his head twice.

Is this affecting our cognition again? Why do I subconsciously think that this is something that is obviously beyond common sense?
  But there is obviously no trace of superpowers in this world.
  I thought it was a very peaceful world, similar to the world I originally lived in, but now it seems that there is something very wrong.
  It's horrifying to think about it, but no matter how much you think about it, it doesn't make any sense.

"Ding-dong-"

Um? this late? Anyone else coming? No, even during the day and on working days, no one would come to my house, right?

Koji Shimizu couldn't help but was startled when he heard the doorbell. It was outrageous that the doorbell could still ring. He hadn't changed the battery in three years.
  Wait, are those three years really three years? Koji Shimizu was brainstorming.
  "Ding-dong-"

It wasn't until the doorbell rang again that Koji Shimizu came to his senses again.

Squinting, at this point, it could only be Hirota Masami, but when he walked to the door, he couldn't see anyone in the peephole.
  It can’t be a late-night snack. Even if it’s a late-night snack, it’s too early and too tight.
  Could it be that he discovered the truth about this world, and some superpower found out about it and planned to come and clean him up! ?
  Qingmizu Koji's brainstorming was still going on. After hesitating for a while, he took out his bamboo sword from the cabinet at the door.

"Ding-dong-"

At the door, a primary school student wearing a blue suit and shorts jumped up and rang the doorbell again. If it didn't open now, he would have to find another door.

There should obviously be residents in this apartment, and they were directly neighbors of Hirota Masami. If possible, he still hoped to learn information about Hirota Masami from his neighbors.

And just when he turned around and was about to give up, a 'click' sound sounded. Hearing the sound, he immediately turned around happily -

"——!!!"

Conan's eyes widened instantly and he took a step back involuntarily.

The door opened a crack, and a black and white eye squeezed out of the darkness and hung in mid-air at the crack of the door.

Suddenly, Conan was startled, and it was the small sound of taking a step back that made Koji Shimizu notice him.

Imp?

Relieved, Koji Shimizu untied the chain on the door and opened the door.

"Uh, ah, ah haha, hug, sorry to bother you, big brother"

"Is there a problem?"

Koji Shimizu looked at the elementary school student scratching his head and laughing awkwardly in front of him, and frowned. "Hey - can you put down the knife? I, I just have some questions I want to ask big brother."

Conan's heart was full of weirdness at this time. He was indeed startled the moment he opened the door, but the young and handsome face revealed after opening the door never made him let down his guard.

Especially looking at the bamboo sword held by Shimizu Koji in his left hand, his intuition made him equate the danger ratings of Shimizu Koji and Xiaolan.

"Oh, I was practicing kendo just now, sorry."

Shimizu Koji turned around and put the wooden sword away, but as soon as he turned around, this elementary school student slipped in from him like a loach.

For a moment, Shimizu Koji felt as if his territory had been violated, especially when he saw that kid put on his slippers and poked his head around his living room.

Whose brat is this, so uneducated?

Qingmizu Koji's calm heart rarely fluctuated. This was the first time he had encountered such a primary school student in such a long time here.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing. I, I just haven't seen what the apartment looks like, so I can't help but be a little curious."

Conan smiled awkwardly and waved his hands. As soon as he came in, he couldn't help but suffer from an occupational disease. He subconsciously wanted to see if this boy who made him feel bad had any secrets.

Shimizu Koji looked at him for a few seconds, then walked to the kitchen and took out a bottle of milk drink from the refrigerator.

"Here, sit down on the sofa obediently. Which family are you from? Do you have any questions for me?"

Koji Shimizu didn't think too much, he just regarded Conan as a child in the apartment, gave him a bottle of drink, hoped that he would settle down, and then sent him away as soon as possible.

"Arigado, big brother."

Conan sat obediently on the sofa, took the drink Koji Shimizu gave him, and said thank you in a sweet voice.

Seeing that Koji Shimizu was not going to ignore him, Conan thought about it and decided to ask directly.

"Brother, my name is Edogawa Conan, and I am the assistant of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro. I have a few questions to ask you."

"Detective? Mouri Kogoro? Who is that?"

Koji Shimizu's glance and one sentence immediately stunned Conan on the spot.

Why, why does this person seem to know nothing? Do you even express doubts about the word detective?
  "Moori Kogoro, I think I've heard of it somewhere, um. Yes." Silently reciting the somewhat familiar name of Mouri Kogoro, Shimizu Koji suddenly had an idea flash in his mind. Wasn't that the person in the news robbery case just now?
  After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Conan silently.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Ah, actually I didn't want to ask, it was Uncle Maori who asked me to investigate, that is, big brother, are you familiar with your neighbor Miss Hirota?"

"I don't know him, I'm not familiar with him."

"I want to ask."

Looking at Koji Shimizu with a serious look on his face, Conan's view of him quietly changed.

He had already visited several houses before coming here. Many people in this apartment knew that Hirota Masami took great care of Shimizu Koji. The two of them had a brother-sister relationship.
  It turns out you lied to elementary school students by saying you were not familiar with it! ?

Conan's eyes changed, and he was about to show off his power and use reasoning to make Shimizu Koji speechless. However, in the next second, his body lightened up and he seemed to be floating in mid-air.

The familiar tugging feeling came from the back of Destiny's neck.

"Eh?! Big brother?!"

"It's getting late. You'd better go home early. There are devils in the alleys around here who like to eat elementary school students like you~~"

Before he could struggle, Conan was directly carried to the door by Shimizu Koji. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Conan had no time to speak. With a "pop", Shimizu Koji had already closed the door.

Looking at the cold door in front of him, Conan curled his lips in disdain, straightened his messy clothes, and turned around to leave helplessly.

In the room, Shimizu Koji opened the desktop computer with a thick butt, trying to search for some information about Moori Kogoro.

Conan, an uncultured primary school student, disgusted him quite a bit, detective? As soon as they met, you wanted to use him to investigate Masami Hirota?

And the investigation is even more inexplicably unpleasant.

Maori Kogoro? Conan? Who are you?
