Chapter 354: It turns out that you can play like this

Chapter 360: It turns out you can play like this

"Ah... That was a close call." A childish voice came from a cubicle in the bathroom of a building in Mihua City. "I almost became smaller in broad daylight." Sitting on the floor, I let out a long sigh.

"You're already in such a mess, yet you can still laugh." Shiho said slowly beside me, taking out an empty syringe. "Your necklace is really convenient. I don't even need to take any insulation measures when I put my test tools with you."

"Hey... I have a built-in cheat." I smiled after returning to my child's body. "How about you? Why did you catch up with me?"

"If I don't chase you out, how can I get first-hand experimental materials?" The concern in Shiho's eyes gradually calmed down after I woke up, so she spoke calmly. "But this place... why don't you choose a better environment, or the girls' bathroom..."

"It's almost time... I'll just find a place where no one is." I stood up after having my blood drawn. "To be honest, my physical strength hasn't decreased since I changed from an adult to a child. It seems to be the same as usual."

"But your hair didn't grow back, it's still long." Shiho pointed behind me. "This is just the first time. Next time it's not the last minute, don't take that medicine again."

"Hi, my dear wife."

"Okay, you're not serious again." Shiho rolled her eyes at me. Then she packed up the toolbox next to her and handed it to me. "Put it away."

"Okay~" I raised my hand and put the small box into the necklace, and then pulled out the clothes I usually wear.

"This function is really convenient." Shiho narrowed her eyes as she looked at the necklace on my chest. "Can't mine be activated?"

"Theoretically, only I can do it." After putting on my clothes, I said to Shiho. "But you can also try. Just drop some blood on the necklace and maybe there will be a reaction." After saying that, I handed over my brand new dagger.

"..." After staring at the dagger for a long time, Shiho's curiosity finally won out as she took the dagger and gently scratched her fingers. Then, bright red blood flowed down her slender fingers. With a slight frown, Shiho dripped her blood onto the necklace on her chest.

One drop, two drops, three drops. Unfortunately, the necklace did not react at all.

"It seems like it's no use. Only you can use this plug-in." Shiho shook her hands and gave up.

"Hey, it's okay. Just tell me what you need me to pretend." As I said that, I took out a band-aid from my necklace and handed it to Shiho.

"I'll write a list when I get back, and then we'll go shopping. Now that we have such a convenient thing, we should make the best use of it." Shiho simply treated the wound.

"Okay, let me get the surveillance here done first." I walked out of the bathroom with Shiho and headed towards the surveillance room.

"Come to think of it, you obviously have such a big bug, why do you always use guns and daggers when you kill people?"

"Hmm?" I was slightly stunned by Shiho's words.

"You can obviously use your necklace to help Mr. Koga transport goods. Why can't you put a stone weighing several hundred pounds in it? When fighting the enemy, just throw the stone out. Wouldn't it kill the opponent directly? Not only that, with such a convenient prop, you can create a lot of accidents without having to bear the risks of bullets." Shiho said indifferently.

“…” After hearing what Shiho said, I suddenly froze in place.

"Eh? What's wrong?" Seeing me stop, Shiho looked back at me.

"Shit... Shit Shit Shit Shit! Why didn't I think of it!" I held my head in annoyance. Yes! If I had thought of this method when I came to this world, would I have been seriously injured by Margaret? I can just hit her face with a brick weighing hundreds of pounds and write "accident" on her, and nothing will happen! Although it won't work in front of others, but when there is no one around, this is a magical skill to kill people. When I broke into the FBI headquarters with Ling, if I had a huge shelter in my necklace, I wouldn't have been blown up so badly by Shuichi Akai with an RPG! I... What have I been doing all these years! Why have I kept my killer habits for so many years!

"You... seem to have suffered a heavy blow?" Shiho smiled contemptuously.

"Nothing... I... just feel bad..."

It was safe, and I accompanied Shiho back to the doctor's house. It had been a week since Xiaolan recovered her memory, and it was time to go back. After accompanying Shiho to sweep half of the market, I called my mother that night to learn about the current situation. After confirming that Xiaolan had recovered her memory and had returned to normal, I called my father and told him that I would continue to live back tomorrow. My father also readily agreed to my request and decided to take us out for a good meal to celebrate on the weekend. Unfortunately, this idea was destroyed by Conan, who had just returned, because on the weekend, we had to go camping with the children, which was decided at the police station. So, the celebration banquet was moved to the night I went back. The next day after I got my hair done and went home, the whole family, including my mother who was called, had a hot Sukiyaki pot together, and the days returned to the joyous atmosphere of the past. Although it was a pity that after the meal, my mother still had to leave here and prepare to return to her own place. "Xiaoxun, Mom is leaving soon, so you have to take care of yourself." When we walked out of the building and it was just mom and I, she was finally able to let go of the secret in her heart.

"Don't worry, Mom. I will take good care of Xiaolan and Dad." I smiled at my mother. Although I didn't quite understand why my mother still didn't want to come back to live, I didn't ask too much. This might be directly related to my concealing my identity.

"Well, judging from Xiaolan's condition, your identity has not been exposed yet. I don't know how long this will last." As she spoke, my mother's eyes became dim, as if she was a little sad.

"It will be very quick." I patted my mother's shoulder as she squatted down. "I still need some time now. When some things are settled, I will come back naturally. At least I won't let you, dad and Xiaolan wait too long."

"Well... Mom believes you." Mom nodded with relief. "But you still have to promise Mom that you won't do anything dangerous again."

"Hehe, OK~" I responded with a smile. Then I watched my mother drive away from the gate. The smile gradually faded. "Don't you want to do anything dangerous?" With a self-deprecating tone, I shook my head and turned back.

"I'm back." Walking into my room, I shouted calmly.

"Yeah." Conan, who was sitting at the table, also responded. Then he turned back to look at me. "How is it? It feels bigger."

"Not so good." I scratched my head. "The mystery of why my hair doesn't change has not been solved yet. From the current situation, it seems that the effect of the drug on me is achieved at the cost of my life. So Shiho doesn't recommend that I take the drug, and the same goes for you."

"Ah... well, I'd better just be a quiet elementary school student." Conan was also a little helpless, but he quickly changed the subject. "After you left yesterday, Officer Sato went to the store of a man named Kano Shuji. He eventually solved his crime, and the arsonist was found by chance by the children. The incident was resolved."

"Well, that's great, isn't it?" I lay back on my bed and looked at the ceiling.

"Not good at all." Conan sighed. "The three children secretly followed the robbers in my absence, and were discovered. If Officer Shiratori hadn't arrived in time, the three children might have been in trouble."

"I told them last time that they should join my training plan, but I forgot about it because there were so many things going on every day." I picked my ears and took the responsibility. "Maybe sometimes we underestimate these kids. Every time we do something, we just want to avoid involving them, so we act on our own, which leads to them learning our ways and starting to act on their own. Last time you and Shiho were injured, and this time the three kids were almost in danger. To be honest, it's all like that."

"What do you mean?" Conan looked up at me.

"Take advantage of this camping trip to tell them about training and... cultivate their sense of teamwork."

“Are you sure those kids can remember it?”

"Then teach them a lesson."

"Hey, you're not..." Conan looked at me in disbelief. "I've already remembered this lesson and I'm still scared. They're still kids."

"Can you help them get rid of their bad habits of being impulsive? If they really die in an encounter with criminals, who will be held responsible?"

"This..." Conan was speechless.

"Don't worry, I was trained little by little back then. If they can't even endure this little bit of hardship, then this detective team should just disband. I don't want to bring along a bunch of kids who could lose their lives at any time."

"...Okay, I'll tell you about this." After thinking about it, Conan felt that what I said made sense. After all, I'm not omnipotent, and it's impossible for me to help the children out every time they do something impulsive. It's still necessary to cultivate their independence.

"Well, I'll leave it to you. As for the training, let's start from next week. Every day after school." I thought for a moment and said. "By the way, how is Xiaolan?"

"Not bad." Conan smiled, "Since the incident at school, Xiaolan has let down her guard against me a lot, and the loss of her memory has not affected her much. Everything is back on track. The only thing is..."

"Ok?"

"I've been observing her these past few days, and it seems that she's been looking at your childhood photo and the almost faded brooch on her chest more and more often."
