"Doctor, doctor, he's awake!!!"

Li Zhongren opened his eyes and heard the nurse who was taking care of him scream.

He traveled through time and space and became the body of a young man named Mao Li Hitomi, the kind of soul traveling through time and space.

The young man became a vegetable because of a car accident. He remained silent in the darkness for an unknown period of time until he went to the sharing space and shared the abilities of others. Only then did he wake up.

"Mori..Kogoro."

After waking up, Li Zhongren recalled the memories of Mao Litong in his mind.

Simply put, he is the child of Maori Kogoro's brother. The three members of the family died in a car accident, and only he survived. Unfortunately, he became a vegetable. Fortunately, the family of the perpetrator was very rich, so Kisaki Eri personally went to court and demanded a large sum of compensation to keep him alive.

These are what he heard when he listened to them talking. Yes, in Li Zhongren's feeling, the so-called vegetative state is like a cage without weight, light, breathing, or hunger.
Fortunately, he possessed the ability to adapt. Through this ability, he adapted to this extreme darkness and loneliness. It even became a magical ability, although in his own opinion, this ability was of little use.

Always stay rational, always maintain self-awareness, and will not be affected by any control ability (this ability cannot be upgraded)

Of course, this cannot be said completely.

Because, as everyone knows, Conan's world is very scientific.

Therefore, in this world, no matter what happens to you, other people will not feel that their world view has collapsed, but will only think that they are not knowledgeable enough.

Like, breaking a telephone pole with bare hands...
Like, dodging bullets with bare hands...
Like, kicking a satellite with your feet...
And so on.
Of course, there are some things here that have not happened yet, but at least from Mao Li Hitomi's memory, he has seen many things that are considered superpowers in the normal world, but in this world, everyone just thinks they are magical, that's all.

The bottom line is that in this world, there is only science, not science.
"Xiaotong, do you still remember who I am?"

Kogoro Mouri looked at his nephew who had been sleeping in bed for many years, his eyes filled with tears. He even thought that his nephew might never wake up in his life.

"Uncle Maori Kogoro, long time no see."

Li Zhongren looked at Maori Kogoro and showed a long-lost smile.

"In fact, I have been awake all these years, but I can't move or respond to you. So, you and Sister Lan, I know every time you come over, and I remember everything you say in my heart."

"Apply~~"

On the side, Mao Lilan stood there, her face also full of smiles, but she was also trying hard not to shed tears.

"Of course, Conan-kun, I also heard the words of encouragement you said to me."

"Ahem...that was a close call."

Kudo Shinichi, who has become Edogawa Conan, was happy and secretly relieved. Fortunately, he did not say anything nonsense. However, as a detective, he instinctively glanced at Mori Hitomi, and then he found a problem.

The last time I came here, Mao Litong's muscles had atrophied to varying degrees due to long-term bed rest. But now, his body is incredibly healthy, his skin is shiny, his muscles are elastic, and even the sores on his back due to lying in bed for many years have disappeared.
"Hey, doctor uncle, did you give Xiaotong any medicine? He was still very thin when we came last time."

So, Kudo Shinichi spoke to the doctor who was examining Hitomi Mori.

"We are also curious about this. However, the human body is a treasure trove. It is not surprising to see such changes. Just like the All-Japan High School Karate Tournament I watched last month, the champion was a boy named Kyogoku Makoto. His physical fitness has completely surpassed the scope of ordinary people. It is really magical. He broke such a thick telephone pole with just one punch."

"Haha, Xiaolan can do this, too."

After the doctor's explanation, Kudo Shinichi was no longer curious. After all, he himself was also an example. A high school student turned into a teenager. The principle behind this was probably even more confusing.
"Mr. Maori Kogoro."

Inside the office, the doctor pointed at the many images on the wall.

"According to our examination, Mao Li Hitomi's body has recovered exceptionally well for some unknown reason. Of course, this is also related to the fact that his nutrient solution has never stopped being delivered on a daily basis. Our suggestion is that he can be discharged from the hospital at any time and have a checkup every three months, six months, and one year."

"I see. Thank you very much, doctor."

“No, no, this is what we should do.”

"Xiaotong, what are your future plans?"

On the road, Maori Kogoro was driving the car, and Maori Ran was sitting in the back with the two little ones. Yes, Maori Hitomi's current age is similar to Kudo Shinichi's after being shrunk. Both of them are about the second grade of elementary school.

"I don't know, uncle."

"Uncle, my plan is that you will live with me from now on, so that someone can take care of you."

"I have troubled my uncle for so many years."

Li Zhongren shook his head.

"Besides, I feel like I have grown up a lot during these years of coma. You don't have to treat me like a second-grade kid. I can take care of myself."

"That's true."

Although Maori Kogoro's detective skills are average, he was once the ace policeman of the police force, so he still has some insight. The boy's speech and behavior are indeed very mature. However, considering that he has been awake every moment and has been in the dark for so many years, if he is not so mature, he may have gone crazy long ago.
"That's fine. I have always hired someone to maintain my brother's house regularly. If you go back, there will be no problem. If you encounter any problems, just call me, your uncle. However, I suggest that you transfer your school to Beika Town. In this way, Conan will also take care of you."

"Hey, uncle, are you going to use me now?"

Kudo Shinichi stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Mori Kogoro with drooping eyes, but didn't say anything. After all, he also liked Mori Hitomi very much, after just a moment of contact.

A mature kid, that's great.

He finally doesn't have to face those little brats whose hair hasn't even grown out yet. It must be painful, right?
"I also like being friends with Xiaotong."

"Me too."

Li Zhongren smiled and shook hands with Kudo Shinichi.

"Hey, Xiaotong, do you feel that there is something different about yourself?"

The detective's curiosity is always strong. He is still very curious about how Mao Litong revived his weakened muscles. When he was discharged from the hospital, he actually walked out by himself without the staggering steps of being bedridden for many years.
“I think I do have some.”

Li Zhongren tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"I remember that I don't know when it started, but I felt very comfortable whenever I was exposed to the sun. I didn't even feel hungry, but I felt thirsty. Later, I could feel my body recovering little by little. This morning, after I woke up, I woke up naturally."

"You won't feel hungry if you bask in the sun. You're not photosynthesizing, are you? But you don't have chlorophyll." "Okay, Conan, don't guess. Doctors have already said that. Just attribute it to the miracle of the human body."

Mao Li Ran interrupted Kudo Shinichi's curiosity and looked at Mao Li Hitomi.

"Xiaotong, you've been unconscious for so long. Do you want to eat anything? I'll make it for you. Of course, it'd better be easy to digest. After all, you just woke up and your stomach hasn't worked for many years."

"Eel rice."

In fact, Li Zhongren didn't know much about Japanese food. He only knew sushi, ramen and so on. He had eaten all of them, although they were all the cheapest versions. The only difference was eel rice. He had only seen Yuantai eat it in the cartoon. He couldn't bear to eat it in the real world. A portion cost dozens of dollars.
"Okay! Even though eel rice is complicated, I will make it for you!"

"Thank you sister."

The night is fading.

Kogoro Mori sent Li Zhongren to Hitomi Mori's home.

If a house has not been occupied for a long time, it will appear deserted and lifeless.

The same is true of this traditional Japanese courtyard.

Kogoro Mouri did not lie. He definitely sent people to take care of it regularly. The courtyard, the house, and everything inside the house were in order and there was no dust. Looking at all this, Li Zhongren's eyes became moist. This was not him. It was the instinct left over from his predecessor. Yes, it was instinct, not memory, because the memory had been swallowed up by him.

"Go with peace of mind."

After a sigh, Li Zhongren finally fell into a natural sleep for the first time.
When he woke up again, it was already bright outside. Then, he saw a pair of eyes looking at him quietly. It was Kudo Shinichi.

"Eh? Why are you here?"

Sister Xiaolan was worried about you, so she came to see you. Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with you. The sound of Sister Xiaolan making breakfast did not wake you up.

"Ha, maybe I'm just too sleepy."

"Xiaotong, come and have breakfast. Forget it, let's have lunch. After lunch, we will go to the art museum to see the exhibition. I will take you to relax."

"Haha, Xiaotong, don't listen to Sister Lan."

Kudo Shinichi smiled and held his stomach.

"It's like this, Sister Lan heard from someone that the medieval art museum in Beika Town is said to be haunted by ghosts. It's the kind of armor that can move on its own even though there's no one inside. It's been rumored to be very popular, so Sister Lan wanted to go and see what's going on. How is that possible? I know without even thinking about it, this is probably fake!!"

"That may not be the case. There are so many magical things in this world. Why can't there be ghosts?"

"That's the thing."

Kudo Shinichi rubbed his head.

"But, Sister Lan, we have to abide by the basic laws in everything. Whether it's your ability to crack the concrete pillar or Xiaotong's awakening, it can all be attributed to the magic of the human body. But as for ghosts, at least modern science has not found any conclusive evidence yet."

"I don't care, I'm going to see it, do you want to go?"

"Haha, of course I went."

Kudo Shinichi grinned and said, "If I don't go, I probably won't have any dinner."
"Xiaotong, what about you?"

"Of course I'll go. I'll be happy to go out with my sister no matter where we go."

"Look, look, Conan, look at what Xiaotong said. Come, Xiaotong, sister will feed you eel. Open your mouth."

Kudo Shinichi: "."

Beika Town

Medieval Art Gallery
It was already afternoon when they arrived here. Because they had to wait for Kogoro Mouri, he finished his work and came along.

Of course, Kogoro Mouri had not originally planned to come, but unfortunately, faced with Mouri Ran's threat of not making dinner, he finally compromised.

"Wow, there are a lot of people."

Looking at the crowds in the art museum, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but sigh that people really love to join in the fun, because he knew that this art museum actually had few people on weekdays and was basically in a state of loss and on the verge of bankruptcy.

Recently, because of the ghost legend, many people have come to see it.

It's a pity that it is a drop in the bucket.

When this wave of popularity passes, this art museum will probably be deserted again.
"Kubota! What are you doing!!"

Suddenly, a rebuke attracted people's attention. Everyone looked over and saw an old man lecturing a middle-aged man because he touched the painting directly with his hand.

"How many times have I told you to wear gloves!"

"Yes, yes, Director, I understand, you old fool"

However, after the curator left, he cursed again under his breath.

“The art gallery is about to close down, why are you still pretending to be here?”

"Sure enough, is it going to go bankrupt?"

The others were looking at the paintings, but Kudo Shinichi was not very interested. He liked observing people, which was very helpful for his detective reasoning.

So, soon, he saw another scene.

The curator, who was so domineering just now, was hunched in front of another middle-aged man.

Still through lip reading, he saw what they were talking about.

Simply put, this art gallery has been sold to this boss due to poor management, and this boss does not intend to do a money-losing business like an art gallery, but instead plans to transform it into a hotel.

At present, because there are suddenly more people these days, the project has been suspended in the spirit of making a profit. After that, we will collect all the paintings here step by step, selling those that should be sold and throwing away those that should be thrown away.
Of course, it can be seen that the curator named Luo He does not want to accept this result. Unfortunately, although his name is a nice name, he is just an employee and has no right to interfere in this.
“Do you like people-watching, too?”

Suddenly, Kudo Shinichi turned his head and found that Mao Li Hitomi was also looking into the distance, so he asked curiously.
