Academy City Temperature Control

After Mr. Nakajima finished speaking with some trepidation, Conan, who was hiding in the corner, no longer hesitated and rushed towards the Daikoku Building.

"What's wrong with me? My head hurts."

At this time, Mouri Kogoro, who was covering his head, slowly woke up and looked at the eyes gathered around him in confusion.

On the top floor of the Daikoku Building, there is a bar called Cocktail.

Not even five minutes had passed since the incident at the Rice Flower Restaurant, and an order to destroy all the information was hurriedly received.

The bar owner and several waiters took out all the strong whiskey from the wine cellar, poured the drinks on the tables and chairs, and immediately set them on fire to prevent the fingerprints of the relevant personnel from remaining on them.

Natsume Sonoko spread her wings and looked in from the glass window outside. The light from her body was refracted into the clouds in the sky, so she didn't have to worry about being discovered.

Someone followed Conan out of curiosity. Later, because he disliked Conan's speed, he flew to the top by himself, just in time to see the bar members who were preparing to evacuate.

Chapter 86 Extra time

The alcohol burned quickly, and the entire bar was immediately enveloped in the fire.

Furniture and counters were engulfed in flames, and the fire quickly spread from the bar to the entire top floor.

A strong smell came out of the ventilation ducts, mixed with the thick smell of smoke and burning wood chips.

"The smell is so strong, these guys actually set fire to it."

She covered her nose with some dissatisfaction. Natsume Sonoko couldn't help coughing when she smelled the pungent smell, and immediately used her power to blow away the thick smoke that kept pouring out of the ventilation duct.

"This villain organization is really astonishing. Its work efficiency surpasses that of the Academy City Council by a mile."

I remember that not even 10 minutes had passed since the explosion at the Rice Krispies Restaurant, and it was almost finished here.

Not only was the store burned down, but useful things were also taken away.

Just now, the group of people had time to take away a heavy-looking silver safe and put all kinds of information in it. Now they have probably escaped by taking the stairs.

The fire alarm of the building has completely sounded, and staff members have come to the top floor to check the situation one after another. However, the fire is so big that a single fire extinguisher has no effect at all, so people can only be evacuated first.

While everyone was busy evacuating the customers on the top floor, someone was surprised to find that the fire that had almost burned down the entire top floor suddenly stopped, blocking the progress of the fire like a wall.

At this time, Natsume Sonoko was hovering in mid-air, carefully controlling the flow of nearby air, and using temperature control to strip away the air around the flame. The outside oxygen could not enter, which immediately led to insufficient oxygen for combustion.

The flame began to gradually decrease. When the air inside was almost burned, the fire finally reached a controllable level.

When the last small flame went out, Natsume Sonoko, who thought she had done a good thing, showed a proud look.

The wind in mid-air was a bit strong, but someone remained motionless and even felt that the wind was a bit noisy.

He glanced at the big black building under his feet with some concern. The people underground looked like ants.

However, the attentive Natsume Sonoko still saw the Conan kid, who had arrived downstairs in the Daikoku Building and was about to take the elevator up.

Having no time to worry about that brat Conan, Natsume Sonoko walked around the building and finally found the villain organization members and arsonists who had not gone far in a corner.

One minute later, Natsume Sonoko walked out of the corner with the safe, followed by organization members lying on the ground in a mess.

They looked miserable, with big bumps on their heads, as if they had been hit on the head by something.They had all fallen into a coma, their faces flushed and their bodies slightly stiff.

The surprise came so suddenly, Conan never expected that the members of the black organization who had rushed to the top of the building to find them fleeing would be found in a nearby alley a few minutes later.

However, everyone fell into a coma and were sent to the hospital for treatment by ambulance. Officer Megure, who was nearby, was also sent to deal with the arson incident here.

"Conan, where have you been during this time?"

Mao Lilan ran over in a hurry, the worry on his face was clear.

"Sister Xiaolan, I just saw Yuantai and the others nearby, so I came out to say hello to them." Conan said innocently, tilting his head.

"So that's it, but I can't run around alone anymore." Xiaolan had an angry look on her face, but it didn't look like a blame.

"By the way, Conan, have you seen Sonoko?"

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm here."

Suddenly appearing in the crowd, Natsume-san showed a sweet smile and waved in the direction of Conan and the others.

At night, Maori Detective Agency.

Natsume Sonoko was holding a stack of documents in her hands, her eyes full of surprise.

"It turns out that the so-called shrinking drug is really regarded as a poison within this organization, with a fatality rate close to [-]%."

Suddenly feeling a little lost, Natsume Sonoko thought about something seriously. That guy Conan really has the attributes of the European Emperor.

The safe had been left there by someone unknown. There were a lot of documents in it, and I didn't have time to read them all.

"Yuanzi, it's very late now, remember to go to bed." At this time, Sister Xiaolan's voice came from outside the door.

"Okay, I'll go to sleep right away."

....Dividing line....

There are a lot of TV programs here in Tokyo, and the TV series of TV star Yoko Okino are broadcast early in the morning.

Natsume Sonoko and Uncle Maori sat around the TV, with some simple breakfast placed on the small table in front of them.Uncle Maoli looked at the female star on TV with his eyes straightened, and he was almost holding the TV as if he was dancing.

Conan rolled his eyes as usual and turned to Natsume Sonoko, who was staring blankly at the TV.

In Academy City, Natsume Sonoko, who keeps up with the trends of the times, has almost not watched TV for several years.

But the date displayed on the TV seems a bit strange today. Could it be that the TV station made a mistake?

"Sister Xiaolan, is there something wrong with the date on the TV?"

Raising her finger to point to the time clock in the corner on the TV, Natsume Sonoko put down the millet porridge in her hand and said.

"----Well, there's no problem."

Xiaolan checked the calendar placed on Mouri Kogoro's desk and then spoke.

Natsume Sonoko was also a little confused. She took out her phone and looked at the time. Only then did she realize that the time on the phone and the TV were basically the same.

"It's impossible, there must be something wrong somewhere." Natsume Sonoko had an inexplicable look on her face, holding her chin and frowning.

"Hey, this is Officer Megure. What happened to you now?"

While he was happily watching Okino Yoko's TV series, the cell phone Mouri Kogoro had put aside began to ring. He glanced at the caller ID and then reluctantly answered the phone.

"What did you say! All those people in the cocktail bar were killed last night."

Standing up suddenly, Mouri Kogoro said in surprise.

Conan's face suddenly changed at this time, his pupils suddenly opened wide, and his vision was full of disbelief.

"Xiaolan, I have something to deal with at Officer Memu's place, so I'll leave the house to you."

His face immediately changed into a serious look, Mouri Kogoro quickly put on his formal clothes and set off in a hurry.

"Uncle Maori, I'm going too."

The kid Conan who was sitting next to him also shouted and ran out quickly.

"Really, it doesn't make people worry so early in the morning."

After breakfast, Sister Xiaolan was busy clearing away the dishes, while Natsume-san was concentrating on replying to the message.

[Natsume-san, my mobile phone, computer, including the satellite data in the Discipline Committee Branch 177, all show that the current time is 25:[-] on July [-]th, which is the third day since you left Academy City] Reply from Shirai-san received a message.

【Ah this!I suddenly got a little confused]

After confirming it again and again, she looked at the August NO.30 date on her phone, and Natsume Sonoko looked serious.

The time mentioned by Shirai-san is consistent with Natsume Sonoko's memory. Counting the day he left Academy City, today is exactly the third day.

"Maybe something has changed the perception of time. Not only did everyone not notice it, but they just took it for granted."

Not long ago, Natsume Sonoko tried to ask sister Xiaolan a few questions.

What surprised Natsume Sonoko was that the dates in the past few days were all normal. The day before yesterday was July 23, and yesterday was July 24.

But today has become August 30th, tomorrow is April 15th, and the day after tomorrow is another day. It was not until four days later that it changed back to July 25th.

It was as if these four days had suddenly appeared extra. (It was too complicated before, but now the time disorder is that some days that did not exist have been inserted into the normal days)

But even today, as an extra day, I can communicate with the outside world without any obstacles.

"If these four days are not counted in normal time, does this mean that my vacation has been extended in some way?"

Natsume Sonoko blinked and couldn't figure it out. Her vacation was really full of twists and turns. If she sent messages to Shirai-san in the next few days, what would happen to her there.

Chapter 87 Anomaly under investigation

Everything around me seems real and illusory, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish between true and false.

No matter what the extra time is, one thing is certain, if you do nothing, this time problem will probably continue.

Because everyone, including Conan, has taken this change in life as a matter of course.

However, my situation is pretty good and I am still aware of the time problem.I don't know if it's because I just arrived, or because I'm an ability user.

After thinking for a while, Natsume Sonoko took out a small notebook from her suitcase and recorded her current thoughts in it to avoid confusion in her own cognition.

I wrote in Martian characters for more than ten minutes. These patchwork Martian characters lived up to Natsume Sonoko’s expectations and barely managed to express what Natsume Sonoko wanted to express.

As Natsume Sonoko's unique password, although its security performance is questionable, it can also handle some ordinary situations, such as some things that Natsume Sonoko finds inconvenient to record directly.

Until now, Natsume Sonoko still doesn't know how she got involved in such troublesome things.

Is it because I contracted this strange thing after contacting Conan and the others? Or is it because I attacked the black organization before? Or maybe this is the true face of the world.

Although this strange world looks pretty good and the vacation can become longer, Natsume Sonoko still hopes to return to the original good world.

Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but feel a little confused when she thought that one day her own cognition might be changed. This was worse than having her memory changed.

The surroundings suddenly became unscientific. I wonder if this effect can be eliminated by returning to Academy City. According to Shirai-san's situation, Academy City there does not seem to be affected by this weird time. changed.

He put away his notebook and hid it in his suitcase. Although he still didn't understand what happened, it must have something to do with Conan.

In the afternoon, Uncle Maoli sat on the sofa in the office with a gloomy look on his face, opened the freshly chilled beer and drank it in one gulp.

"Dad, what's going on?"

"Forget it, Officer Megure suspected that a secret group was behind the cocktail bar, and asked me what I knew about that group."

At this point, Uncle Maoli stopped and continued to drink wine without saying a word.

Mouri Kogoro's cases were all very bizarre. He solved the case while sleeping. When he woke up, everyone looked at him with admiration and respect, which made him wonder if he had multiple personalities.

But in fact, he didn't remember any of the process at all, let alone the group behind it.

"Damn it, the clue is broken again." Conan, who was a bit bitter and resentful, showed an expression of extreme unwillingness.

...Dividing line...

I have never felt that the holidays have been so long. One day can be used as five or six days, and occasionally I can have a holiday or something.

It was expected that only seven days would have passed since I left Academy City, but in reality it has been more than a month, and there will be an even longer vacation ahead.

After removing the 'calculation interference' from her head, the buzzing in Natsume Sonoko's head began to subside.Hearing returned to normal again.

The increase in computing power in the head is the same as in normal time, which means that these extra days are also real for Natsume Sonoko.

"Even if I am a capable person, my cognition will change."

Thinking of this, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but feel worried.People with abilities never slip through the net, they are just more resistant, but they will gradually be assimilated over time.

However, this change can be blocked. Writing some words or receiving constant reminders from others can temporarily restore normal cognition.

However, Natsume-san seems to be a bit special. Different from the brain, the soul has the memory of the past life, but it can quickly recover from this assimilation.

Natsume Sonoko is not in danger of being assimilated for the time being, but this feeling is really bad, as her brain is being altered by something every day.

"Now I can know two things. One is that I can maintain normal communication with Academy City. The other is that the time in Academy City seems to be normal, but the time here is not normal. But what is going on with these extra days? ?”

Natsume Sonoko had a headache. In order to get more useful information, Natsume Sonoko called Academy City almost every day for verification.

According to Shirai-san, the one call a day turned into calls at different times of the day in Academy City.

For example, on July 25th, when the problem first occurred, there were four extra days on that day. Counting July 25th itself, a total of five calls were made in five days.

But when I arrived at Shirai-san's place, I received five calls at different times on the 25th, one of which was even at [-] o'clock at night.And normal days are just like any other.

"In other words, it's just that the time has been stretched. This is completely unscientific."

Standing in front of the window, she was in a daze. Now Natsume Sonoko was the only one in the Mori Office.
