Chapter 87

Under investigation of abnormality

Everything around me seemed real and unreal, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

No matter what this extra time was, one thing was certain, if [subject] did nothing, this time problem might continue.

Because including Conan, everyone had already taken this change in the day as a matter of course.

But my situation was still good, and he could still perceive the time problem. He didn’t know if it was because he had just arrived or because he was an ability user.

After thinking for a while, Natsume Enako took out a small notebook from the suitcase and recorded what she was thinking now, so as to avoid confusion in her cognition.

It took more than ten minutes to write in Martian characters. These Martian characters that were pieced together did not disappoint Natsume Enako, and barely expressed what Natsume Enako wanted to express.

As Natsume Enako’s unique password, although the security performance is questionable, it can also cope with some common situations, such as some Natsume Enako felt that it was not convenient to record directly.

Until now, Natsume Enako still did not know how she got involved in such troublesome things.

Is it because of the contact with Conan and others that he was infected with such strange things, or because of the previous attack on the Black Organization, or is this the true face of the world.

Although this strange world seems to be quite good, and the vacation can be longer, Natsume Enako still hopes to return to the original good world.

When she thought that one day her cognition might be changed, Natsume Enako could not help but feel a little confused. This is worse than having her memory changed by others.

The surroundings suddenly became unscientific. She don’t know if returning to Academy City can eliminate this influence. According to the situation on Shirai-san’s side, the Academy City on her side does not seem to be changed by this weird time.

Put away the notebook and hide it in the suitcase. Although he don’t understand what happened, it must be related to Conan.

In the afternoon, Uncle Mouri sat on the sofa in the office with a gloomy face, he opened the iced beer and drank it all.

“Dad, what happened?”

“Don’t mention it. Inspector Megure suspected that there was a secret group behind the Cocktail Bar and asked me what I knew about that group.”

Uncle Mouri stopped talking and continued to drink beer without saying a word.

Mouri Kogorou’s cases are all very bizarre. He solved him while sleeping. When he woke up, everyone looked at him with admiration and respect. This made him wonder if he had multiple personalities.

But in fact, he didn’t remember any process at all, let alone the group behind him.

“Damn, the clue is broken again.” Conan, who was a bit bitter and resentful, showed an extremely unwilling expression

…Dividing line…

he have never felt that the vacation was so long. One day can be used as five or six days, and occasionally he can celebrate a festival or something.

It has only been seven days since he left Academy City, but in fact it has been more than a month, and there will be a longer vacation time.

After taking off the “calculation interference” from her head, the buzzing sound in Natsume Enako’s head began to subside. Her hearing returned to normal again.

The increase in computing power in the head is the same as in normal time, that is to say, these extra days are real for Natsume Enako.

“Even if I am an ability user, my cognition will change.”

Thinking of this, Natsume Enako couldn’t help but worry. Ability people are never the only ones who can escape the net. She just have stronger resistance. However, she will be gradually assimilated as time goes by.

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

However, Natsume-san seems to be a little special. Unlike the brain, the soul with the memory of the previous life can recover quickly from this assimilation.

Natsume Enako is not in danger of assimilation for the time being, but this feeling is really bad. The brain is being scribbled and modified by something every day.

“Now I 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, and the time here is abnormal. But what is going on with these extra days?”

Natsume Enako has a headache. In order to get more useful information, Natsume Enako almost calls Academy City every day to verify.

And according to Shirai-san, The calls that were made once a day became calls made at different times of the day in Academy City.

For example, on July 25th, when the problem first occurred, there were four extra days, and including July 25th itself, there were five calls made in five days.

But when it comes to Shirai-san, Unit No. 5 received five calls from different time periods on the day of the 20th, and one call was even at 11 o’clock at night. On normal days, it was the same as usual.

“So, it’s just that the time has been stretched out. This is totally unscientific.”

Standing in front of the window, she was a little dazed. Now Natsume Enako was the only one in Mouri Kogorou’s office.

These days, in addition to being busy with investigations and practicing ability, she also enjoyed the hard-earned leisure vacation time.

In the past few days, Natsume Enako and Uncle Mouri went to the botanical garden, hot springs, holiday hotels, magic clubs and other places together.

As a result, they encountered murder cases every time they went, and the criminal methods were novel and strange, and even mixed with murders in closed rooms and impossible crimes.

This made someone doubt life for a while. Seeing the victim lying in a pool of blood and listening to Conan recreating various bizarre crime scenes, the whole person was a little scared, he still have lingering fears until now.

But the good thing is that my resistance is getting stronger and stronger, and he know that the first thing to do after discovering the body is to protect the crime scene.

Finally, after repeated experience and lessons, Natsume Enako chose to act alone today, and by the way, she also wanted to go out to investigate alone.

“Although the world in front of me looks very real, I must not be paralyzed by it. The world is so big, I want to go and see it.”

Today is March 10th Unit No. 8, another day that should not exist, the real time should be July 29th.

After thinking carefully, although it is not time to go back, Natsume Enako still set the target of investigation in Academy City.

Since today is an extra day, Natsume Enako wants to see if there are changes in Academy City after the time changes here.

Plunging wings, flying in the air more than ten meters high, moving forward quickly with the help of natural wind.

There are people coming and going along the way, and it looks no different from a normal day.

Office workers squeeze into the subway to go to work, Housewives were waiting in line at the door with discount posters from the supermarket. Everyone was normal, the traffic was busy and the place was very lively.

But as the distance got farther, the number of people didn’t change much, but there was an inexplicable awkward feeling among the crowd, as if an old machine forgot to add roller skating oil.

When we got farther away, we could only see puppets standing like wooden figures, as if the whole world, except for the rice flower town (town (町)), was filled with puppets.

Finally, they arrived at the perimeter of the huge wall of Academy City. Everything was the same as outside, with standing puppets everywhere.

During these abnormal times, are there only these motionless puppets left in Academy City? This is not the Academy City that she knows at all.

Natsume Enako suddenly understood that what Shirai-san saw was the Academy City in a normal state, while what she saw was the Academy City in abnormal time. The two seemed to be separated by something.

Just when Natsume Enako felt helpless, there was a clear sound of footsteps behind her.

Natsume Enako was startled and turned her head to look.

“Who’s there!”

In an unknown corner, a girl with a super long ponytail came out. The ponytail fell to her waist, her skin was white and shiny, and her figure was slender and tall.

She was wearing a white T-shirt, which was tied up at the waist, revealing her entire belly button, and jeans on her lower body. But the left leg of the trousers was completely cut off from the thigh.

On a bench in Academy City, Natsume Enako looked up at the girl next to her. Although the girl looked a little fierce, she exuded a sense of Yamato Nadeshiko and was very polite to others.

“We are not in the original world. This is a broken magic array summoned by magic… you can understand it as a kind of energy.”
