dark.
Darkness that makes it impossible to see.
Conan felt as if his body was being pulled by a huge force, spinning at high speed.
His heart was pounding, trembling as if it was about to be ripped out of his chest.
I don’t know how long this feeling lasted.
Finally, after the chaos again and again, the surrounding scene gradually became clear.
It's like being in a world pieced together by broken lenses.
He saw countless versions of himself, standing in an alley surrounded by darkness and gloom.
Occasionally, lightning pierced the darkness, and heavy rain poured down, as if it wanted to engulf him in the violent storm.
Suddenly, a cold wind hit from behind, making Conan start to tremble involuntarily.
He didn't even need to turn his head, he could see a monster wrapped in darkness approaching him from other broken pictures.
He wanted to see the other person's appearance clearly.
But that terrifying face seemed to be eroded by an unknown substance, constantly squirming and flowing, and it was impossible to distinguish its appearance.
He wanted to escape, but his body seemed to be frozen, unable to move.
He wanted to say something, but couldn't make a sound.
As if the scene was reenacted, he could only watch helplessly as the other party stuffed a reagent containing a red solution into his mouth.
His consciousness began to fade, and the scene in front of him became blurry again.
The bondage that he couldn't break free made him feel that his body was being pulled by the invisible force again.
Until a strong white light flashed before his eyes.
Conan suddenly woke up and his consciousness returned to reality.
Only then did he realize that he was lying on a hospital bed, and his thin hospital gown was already soaked with sweat.
The fear and helplessness of the nightmare still remain in the body.
He took a deep breath and waited for a while before his racing heart gradually calmed down.
"Conan?! You're awake! How do you feel?"
Beside the hospital bed, Mao Lilan and Dr. Ali heard the noise and saw Conan's eyes open, staring at the ceiling aimlessly, and they suddenly panicked.
"I...cough cough cough..."
The heavy loss of sweat made Conan's voice extremely hoarse. He coughed a few times and said to the two of them, "I'm fine. Is this... a hospital?"
Mao Lilan said softly:
"We met Teacher Judy at the first observation deck of the BELL TREE Tower. She said that dangerous people had also entered the tower and asked us to meet you on the first floor. We saw you collapsed in the power distribution room. on the floor."
"Conan, what happened?" Dr. Ali asked with worried eyes.
"I……"
Conan felt very heavy when he thought about the member of the organization who fed him the unknown liquid. He shook his head slightly and said:
"I don't remember. He must have been attacked by someone."
Mao Lilan and Dr. A Li looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
A few seconds later, Conan said hoarsely:
"Sister Xiaolan, I'm a little hungry, can you help me buy some food?"
"Well, I'll go right away." Mao Lilan had no doubt that he was there.
As the door to the ward opens and closes.
Conan also took a long breath and asked with a serious expression:
"Doctor, what happened while I was in coma? Did you meet anyone?"
"No... we took the elevator down and saw you lying on the ground in the power distribution room, and then we called an ambulance."
Dr. A Li asked hesitantly:
"Shinichi, what's wrong with you?"
He rarely saw such a complicated and uncertain expression on the face of his old friend, so he guessed that something serious must have happened.
"I... met someone from the organization." Conan did not hide anything, so he told the story of how he met the member of the organization in the power distribution room of the Bell Tree Tower and was threatened by the other party to take an unknown liquid.
As Conan narrated, Dr. Ali's eyes grew wider and wider. Unable to conceal his surprise, he rushed to the bedside and grabbed Conan's shoulders with both hands.
"What!? You were fed unknown drugs again. How do you feel now?"
Hearing the word 'again', Conan's mouth twitched uncontrollably, but he had no way to defend or refute, he could only say truthfully:
"Ahem... apart from feeling a little uncomfortable at first and having a very weird nightmare, I feel nothing now, and..."
He paused and hesitated:
"I don't think that person wanted to kill me."
"..."
Dr. A Li was silent for a while and then said in a complaining tone:
"Yes, otherwise you wouldn't be able to chat with me here now, right?"
Hey, hey, why don't you worry so much? Forget about Haiyuan, doctor, when did you get infected by Brother Gengyi...
Conan was choked so much that he felt helpless:
"I didn't mean to say this... In short, this incident happened very suddenly, and there are many things in it that are incomprehensible. Doctor, please don't tell others."
To be honest, if he hadn't been in a coma and had been fed unknown drugs, he would probably have had subsequent symptoms. He would have even hesitated to tell the inventor about this when he met members of the organization.
Buzz-buzz-
As soon as Dr. A Li nodded in agreement, the phone in his pocket rang.
"It's an email from Gengyi..."
Hearing this, Conan immediately put his head around to watch.
He could never suppress his curiosity. He guessed that Ye Gengyi sent an email to Dr. A Li at this time, and the content was most likely related to him, so he simply did not avoid suspicion.
Dr. A Li didn't mind this at all. He gave full play to his role as the 'second tool man' and even turned sideways thoughtfully to prevent Conan from seeing clearly the content of the email. There was only one sentence above:
[I made some vegetable puree and vegetable juice. 】
Conan: "..."
So...where is the information about the case and the words of concern?
Although after waking up from a coma, he does need to eat some light and easy-to-digest food, but then again, vegetable puree and vegetable juice can also be eaten by a doctor who seems to be on a strict diet!
After all, if it's for yourself, then you should at least ask "How is Conan" in the email...
"Um... Brother Gengyi doesn't know about my hospitalization, right?" Conan asked tentatively.
"Um?"
Dr. A Li looked away from the phone screen and looked at a certain detective boy strangely:
"He knows. It was Xiao Ai who sent an email to Geng Yi to tell Geng Yi that we were at the Bell Tree Tower. Geng Yi said that for safety reasons, he would take the children to eat something first and then send them home."
Conan: "..."
Wait... Could it be that I always sneak out alone these days, so Gengyi just ignores me? ? ?
