The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"You haven't given up yet? I don't think either Miyano Shiho or Karasawa Akira is likely to accept the witness protection plan." Not surprised by James' request, Judy secretly sighed.

"They may be unwilling, but Judy, you also understand that what they have in their hands is of great significance. We will not give up our efforts in this area." James nodded and expressed his views clearly.

Judy lowered her head to prevent the burning light in her eyes from being noticed by the people in front of her.

It was because they knew so well the significance of those powers that they insisted on keeping Karasawa's identity secret and Haibara Ai's research status secret from the headquarters.

There are so many major research projects in the organization, whether it is Noah's Ark, a super artificial intelligence, or the APTX series of drugs that rejuvenate the youth and keep the appearance forever. The specific effects are temporarily unclear, but the derived drugs alone have caused a worldwide stir. The cognitive mysteries of stormy seas...

It is a precious treasure that can make anyone lose their mind. If it is known by other organizations, it may not be any safer than being controlled by the organization.

By then, Tang Ze's multiple identities will easily become a hindrance to him.

As an undercover agent, he is bound to participate in many illegal activities, but he is only 18 years old and has no background. He works on the front line completely relying on his own courage.

At that time, if his illegal behavior is really taken into account, even Calvados, who fell at his gunpoint two days ago, will become the basis for his conviction.

Even if she knew that James was actually a more trustworthy colleague, the possibility of colluding with the organization was extremely low.

——After all, James knows so well the whereabouts of Shuichi Akai, Akira Karasawa and Shiho Miyano. If he betrayed them, something would have happened to these people long ago.

She was still worried about telling the other party directly the news related to these people.

"It's because it means so much, James. I was able to successfully participate in witness protection because I was too young and the organization basically didn't pay attention to me. But they are different." Looking up, Judy answered sincerely, "Do we have the confidence to protect them both now?"

"They have doubts about this?" James, who understood her hint, gave full play to his boss's basic skills and quickly received the information.

Judy's words meant that they had tried hard, but it really didn't work, and they were questioned in turn.

"Well, after all, Xiu's exposure is indeed our responsibility." Thinking of Karasawa's ruthless complaints, Judy smiled awkwardly but politely.

How should I put it? Although it is almost inevitable to think about Shuichi Akai's exposure now, the problem of Kamel's high blood pressure operation including the poor skills of the guy who made the materials is also real...

James, who also thought of this, said: "..."

It makes sense. Considering the FBI's current record, it's hard to refute...

"We understand the significance of those studies very well. They themselves will only know it better than us." Judy's eyebrows were a little solemn. "Rather than leaving this question to them, it is better to ask it yourself first."

"Can our power really protect them, allow them to live without worries and continue research? Those powers are so incredible. It is not that simple to have a miracle."

----

On the other side of the city, a miracle is happening.

It's just that the speed of arrival is a little unsatisfactory.

"The speed of hatching is a bit slow." He simply brought the chair to the table where the eggs were placed, and Asai said after careful observation.

It had been half an hour since they came in, so it seemed like it was only a few centimeters more cracked than before.

The eggshell looks so fragile that it makes you want to just smash it open.

"There has been no movement for ten days and a half. This progress is pretty good, okay." Haibara Ai, who yawned, once again refused the coffee handed over by Tang Ze and stood firmly in front of the experimental table, holding the pedal in hand.

The materials that Conan had worked so hard to obtain from Belmod had just been handed over to her by the doctor, and the basic tests had not yet been completed.

Although Conan was quite rude when he gave her the needle, the material left to her was enough to allow her to carry out many projects. Considering that next time she would be so close to the unsuspecting Belmod, she still cherished it when using it.

The bored Xingchuan Hui made several protests: "We have worked hard for so long, shouldn't we have some privileges, such as standing in front of the egg and shouting "open sesame"..."

"Otherwise, do I need to get you some spells to recite? It's so ritualistic. I'll write a few sentences for you?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows.

When she heard the word "spell", Miyano Akemi suddenly felt her fists itching and raised her hand threateningly.

"You guys, please stop standing around looking at the egg. What if it hatches out naked..." Shimabukuro Kimie held her cheek and imagined for a while that a naked man would suddenly pop out in front of everyone, and her expression couldn't help but change. eccentric.

There are already a lot of strange misunderstandings among the Phantom Thieves, so it's better not to let the new friends they worked so hard to hatch have strange misunderstandings about them.

"If he is naked, he must be the one who is embarrassed." Tang Ze corrected, "The more people there are, the more embarrassed he will be."

"Well, that makes sense..."

"Stop listening to his nonsense, Jun Hui!"

In the unprecedented lively atmosphere of the laboratory, the egg placed in the center shook slightly amidst the subtle cracking sounds.

----

First there was a blush, a warm temperature enveloped his whole body, and a soothing, sweet dream smell surrounded him.

It was like returning to the embryo, soaking in the warm amniotic fluid.

He curled up, breathing softly in a safe and comfortable state.

Blue, overwhelming blue swept across the sky.

The temperature quickly subsided, and the coldness of night hit him. He seemed to be grasped from somewhere deep, and he was rising rapidly in an uneasy feeling of weightlessness.

Finally, there was a blur of bright colors, a full moon, slowly coming into focus in his eyes.

It took a few seconds for Zhu Fu Jingguang to identify what it was.

It was a lamp that was too bright, so bright that it illuminated the surrounding area without any shadow.

Operating room, shadowless lamp?

After a moment of daze, Zhu Fu Jingguang blinked his eyes, raised his hand, and made a movement to block the light.

It was too dazzling, like looking directly into the scorching sun, and the excessively bright light left burning marks on the retina.

His consciousness gradually returned, and the sounds around him reached his ears.

"There's some movement."

"Consciousness seems to be returning."

"It reacts obviously to light. Where is the sensor? Do I need to check it?"

"Hey, this is a biological laboratory, not a hospital laboratory... Forget it, I'm going to find a lancet."

"Shiho, do you need to adjust the lab temperature?"

"Tangze..."

Hearing the last name, Zhu Fu Jingguang, whose consciousness was still in a state of confusion, suddenly came back to his senses.
