Chapter 320: Sudden Transportation Business

Chapter 326: The Sudden Transport Business
A little transition, current record (29/2)

The next afternoon, the sunlight outside the window was already red. Shiho and I had just woken up. However, the difference was that after nearly ten hours of sleep, I had returned to the appearance of a child, shrinking without any pain at all. The good news was not only that, but even the wounds on my body had healed almost completely due to the shrinkage. Perhaps it was caused by the cell shrinkage. Of course, there was also bad news, which was that this transformation was different from Shiho and Conan. My long, pale-gold hair did not change back at all. It hung to my waist when I was seventeen or eighteen years old. Now that I have returned to the age of seven, my hair length has not changed, but it has almost reached my ankles.

"Bing, your hair has mutated so strangely?" Shiho, whose fever had slightly improved, looked at my long hair that almost dragged on the ground and thought. "Even if it was cell growth, why didn't it change back during the retrospective process?"

"Maybe it has something to do with the amount of white dry food and the cold virus acquired?" I tied my hair behind my head with my hands, picked up the dagger and slashed it hard. The long hair that was hitting the ground was cut off instantly, and the length returned to what it used to be when it just passed the ears.

"I don't know, it may be a genetic problem." Shiho took out a pair of scissors and trimmed the excess hair for me. "I need to do some experiments when I get back. Unfortunately, there are no drugs for me to use at this stage, otherwise the antidote should be made soon."

"Take it step by step. There's no rush." ​​I said calmly, "As for you, it's better to go to Qiaozhuang before going out recently. Although I have a hunch that Ling will leave Mihua City, we must take all precautions before Mary sends us the exact news."

"Will Mary tell Ling the truth?" Shiho asked worriedly.

"No." I shook my head. "I specifically told you not to tell anyone about this, including Ling. Now is not the right time. Ling is different from Taiyi. She is too deeply involved in the organization. It would be difficult for her to escape from it, unless..."

"unless?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now." I shook my head and threw away the thought in my mind. Let's go home first. There are still many things to deal with. I will take you to the doctor.

"Yeah." Shiho nodded slightly.

I drove back to the doctor's residence, but surprisingly found that the doctor was not at home. I easily pried open the door and called the doctor. It turned out that the doctor had taken the children to a newly opened ice cream shop. That's right, even if there was a hail of bullets here, the children were unaware. It was really hard for the doctor to go out and play with the children.

"Xiao Xun, are you okay?" Conan snatched the phone to the doctor away.

"Well, Xiao Ai and I are back, you guys can continue eating, Xiao Ai's fever hasn't completely subsided yet. We won't go, I'll go home directly tonight."

"What to eat? A case has happened here." Conan said dejectedly.

"Oh, that's normal. After all, you are the son of the god of death. You have your own halo." I joked.

"Alright, stop making fun of me." Conan smiled helplessly. "By the way, about the organization..."

"I managed to get away with it, but the news that Ai is alive is also known, so the fact that she became smaller should be kept secret." I said dejectedly. "Until the information is confirmed, it's better for Ai and I to hide for a while."

"Do you have an intelligence network in the organization?" Conan caught the information in my words.

"Not in the organization, but in the hands of my current boss." I replied. "At least his people can tell me if there are still people worth hiding in this city. They are quite accurate in scanning for dangerous intelligence."

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions. Be careful, I'm hanging up now. I'll talk to you when I finish my work and go home tonight."

"Okay, go ahead." Perhaps because he had too many things to do, Conan didn't ask me too many details on the phone. In fact, even if he asked me, I wouldn't go into detail, after all, Ling was involved. If possible, I don't want Ling to be on Conan's blacklist, because there are too many things involved. His father alone is a hurdle, and then there is the FBI. The punishment from heaven two years ago, I will never forget that FBI group in my life.

After hanging up the phone, I looked back at Shiho, who was already busy at the test bench, and couldn't help but sigh. I walked over to her and held her hand as she was about to pick up the test tube.

"You're not well yet, don't be so stubborn." I pinched Shiho's soft cheeks. "Go and have a rest. You were very tired yesterday."

"I want to get the results as soon as possible." Shiho retracted her hand and held the test tube again. "From the age of seven, back to the age of seventeen in one go, do you know how many cell alternations will occur during this period?"

"Hmm?" I raised my eyebrows. "The lungs take three weeks, the liver takes five months, and the whole body takes about half a year to replace?" "That's about the answer. But I want to add one more thing, the brain's replacement is synchronized with lifespan." Shiho responded. "The human body survives by consuming energy such as protein, water and vitamins, including ultraviolet radiation provided by the sun. Imagine if APTX-4869 is because the drug molecules inhibit every replaceable cell in the body, causing it to backtrack and cause the body to shrink. Then I can understand that the brain will not be affected, but what about the hair? Although it does not contain nerves and blood vessels, there are indeed cells. The changes in Kudo and I are only in our bodies, but our hair has not changed much. What about you? After you took the drug, your hair color changed, which is equivalent to directly changing the genes on the basis of DNA. And then after it grew bigger, the hair also grew. Ten years of changes , it's not too much for you to grow your hair down to your waist, right? Although I think it will be that long in three to five years, then, the change from a small body to a big body, I can understand that the inhibition of the drug is lifted, and the cells grow back to their original size, but it consumes a huge amount of energy, so after the growth, I can feel that my own physical fitness is very low, but what about you? Not only is there no significant change in physical fitness, but even the time of transformation is much longer than mine and Kudo's. As mentioned before, it is because the RNA chains rich in cold viruses interact with certain molecules of Baigan. If the changes are not investigated soon, I don't know what kind of irreversible impact this will have on you. "

"You mean..." I couldn't help but frown after hearing what Shiho said. "My growth is not as simple as being suppressed, but while growing, it also causes cell division?"

"At least, that's what I think at this stage." Shiho looked serious. "If we consider the law of energy conservation, we can judge from the growth of your hair that you have recharged your body with energy for at least a few years. In other words, it is very likely that you have consumed two to three years or even more of your lifespan for each transformation. After all, your energy consumption and replenishment are different from ours."

"Uh... it can't be that bad, right?" I said with some fear. "Then I have to change a dozen times? Isn't that a sure death?"

"I can't say for sure." Shiho shook her head. "So, before I thoroughly research the antidote, you'd better not try to test the drug too much. Otherwise, if an irreversible situation really occurs, it will be no different from losing your life."

"Hmm..." I sat down and thought, could it be because I am a time traveler? If the only difference is that the soul in my body is different, then this has nothing to do with cells, right?

"In short, before I develop an absolutely safe antidote, don't try to drink Baigan to change back." Shiho continued with her work. "What I'm afraid of now is that APTX-4869 directly affects genetic changes. If that's the case, we may never grow up. If it only affects the cell level, then I can't explain your mutation. In short, I will hurry up to make a prototype of APTX-4869, and then study its relationship with Baigan ingredients and cold viruses."

"Okay, I'll trouble you with this. But..." I held Shiho's hand again and picked her up. After she cried out, I turned around and carried her to the bedroom. "But before you do the research, you have to recover from your illness first. Otherwise, I won't let you work."

"I just woke up not long ago... Oh, okay." Seeing that my eyes did not agree, Shiho compromised and let me carry her to the bed. "I can't sleep anyway, Bing, let me study your necklace."

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you yesterday?" I put Shiho into the quilt and tucked her in. "Anyway, it's a dimensional pocket. You can put things in it and take them out again."

“Are there any restrictions on what you can put in there?”

"No living creatures," I replied. "But dead bodies with no vital signs are allowed."

"No wonder your missions are always so easy. You don't even need to destroy the bodies." Shiho shook her head. "Then how big is it? An airplane?"

"I don't know. I once did an assassination mission in Africa. I used the necklace to dig a trench dozens of meters long, but I never saw it filled up."

"Wouldn't it be possible for you to make a fortune if you went into the transportation industry? Why would you need to kill people?" Shiho looked at me suspiciously.

"...ha?"

"For example, the construction of Elcatras now requires a large amount of soil, sand, trees, vegetation, steel and other materials. If you load them up directly and bring them to the island, wouldn't you save a lot of money on transportation? Wouldn't it be faster than you making money?"

"...Shit! That's right!" I slapped my thigh. "What Skinny Wolf worries about every day is not how to get the supplies, but how to transport them. It's too expensive to use the ship to ship them back and forth. If I just ship them all over at once, wouldn't it save a lot?"

"But the downside is that your ability might be exposed. Be prepared."

"We are family, so it shouldn't be a problem." I shook my head, "I'll take care of it myself." As I was talking, I had already called Skinny Wolf and asked him to count the basic supplies he would need in the near future, and then contact the merchants to place orders so that I could pick them up. Then I would go back and forth to Alcatraz to transport the supplies to the warehouse.

"Shiho, you are so smart. You have solved another big problem!" After saying that, I excitedly kissed Shiho hard on the face.

"Stop it, bastard." Shiho blushed and pushed me. "Also, I want to talk to you about the pharmaceutical company you mentioned, such as the talent..."

A rare peaceful day passed by quietly, and what will tomorrow be like? Well... just let it be.
