Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

In the dim morning light, the bedroom in the secret weapon base is quiet and warm.

Kudo Yuki wrapped herself in the quilt, with her arms tightly around Amuro Toru beside her, and had no intention of getting up.

Amuro Toru felt helpless yet doting as he gently stroked the back of her hand, his thoughts drifting back to last night.

In the secret room, under the dim light, three people sat around discussing the plan to destroy the winery.

Conan was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting but he still forced himself to give his suggestions.

While writing and drawing, Kudo Yuki argued with him about the feasibility of the identity of a scientific research assistant.

Toru Amuro proposed a compromise solution.

At this moment, a rustling sound attracted Amuro Toru's attention - Shushu was anxiously searching for the magician's fortune-telling cards in Kudo's snowpack. Its chubby little paws were scratching around, and it was mumbling, "It's clearly right here, why can't I find it?"

Toru Amuro raised the corner of his mouth and watched Shu Shu struggling with interest. He didn't intend to interrupt him, just treating it as an unexpectedly relaxing episode.

Shushu was searching very seriously. His little head was almost completely buried in the bag. His whole body was almost swallowed by the bag, leaving only his furry butt and fluffy tail exposed. He kept muttering, "Where did the magician's fortune-telling cards go? Don't lose them."

The little fat boy's paw touched the hard surface of the card and held it tightly. He instantly became excited and shouted at the top of his voice: "I finally found you!"

Shushu used all his strength to pull it out, but because he used too much force, the magician's fortune-telling card was thrown out with a "whoosh".

The reaction force caused its feet to slip, and it rolled several times, finally hitting the bedside table like a ball of fur.

Shushu was hit so hard that he saw stars and his head was buzzing. Before he could recover, the magician's divination card swayed in the air and drew an arc, just poking his pink little nose.

"Ouch, it hurts so much!" Tears welled up in the rat's eyes, which turned red in an instant. He didn't care about the rapidly swelling bump on his head, and kicked his hind legs hard, jumping up and trying to catch the divination cards.

It jumped left and right, its little body leaping in the air, its movements quick and funny.

But the fortune-telling card seemed to be teasing it on purpose every time, changing its trajectory lightly in the air and slipping away from the edge of its little fat claws again and again.

The rat shook its dizzy little head and its ears fluttered. It was unwilling to give up and stamped its feet angrily: "I must catch you today!"

He gathered all his strength, and all the hair on his body exploded with the force, and he jumped high into the air.

This time he finally touched the divination card, but because he applied uneven force, the card changed direction and flew straight towards Amuro Toru as if it was cast under a spell.

Toru Amuro narrowed his eyes slightly, and out of instinct, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the magician's divination card that was spinning in the air in his palm.

"Huh?" When Shushu saw this scene, his eyes widened even wider, full of shock and confusion. His little body froze in place, and he even forgot to jump.

"How could he catch it? How could he see me?"

Shushu was full of confusion. He kept scratching the hair on his head with his chubby little paws, making the already messy hair even more tangled. He looked like a little fur ball.

Amuro Toru looked up at Shushu with a smile in his eyes. He shook the divination cards in his hand, lowered his eyes and said, "Little guy, what are you looking for?"

Shushu stepped back cautiously, shaking his little head like a rattle: "You... don't come over here! How could you see me? It must be a coincidence!"

It was extremely panicked. In the past, apart from Kudo Yuki, no one else could discover its existence. Now, Amuro Toru's actions completely broke the mouse's cognition and made its little heart beat wildly.

Amuro Toru stood up and walked towards Shushu, trying to calm Shushu's tense nerves: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Shu Shu was not willing to believe what Amuro Toru said. His heart was beating faster and faster in his chest. He was so panicked that he turned around and ran away with his short legs, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But its legs are short, and when it runs it looks like a round fur ball rolling quickly on the ground, so its speed is really limited.

I had only run a few steps when I heard the footsteps of Toru Amuro getting closer and closer behind me.

Before the rat could react, Amuro Toru's tall figure loomed over it.

Amuro Toru leaned forward slightly, holding the magician's divination card between his fingers, and handed it to Shu Shu, "I give it back to you."

As soon as Shushu's little paw touched the edge of the card, he retracted it in fear, his round eyes rolling around: "How can you see me? Do you know some kind of magic?"

Amuro Toru stood up and said with a smile, "It's because I've been through so many life and death together with Xiaoxue, we're almost like telepaths! I can always detect anything strange about her, so I noticed it as soon as you showed up, little guy!"

Shu Shu was half-believing and half-doubting, staring at Amuro Toru with his round eyes, thinking of how Kudo Yuki had used the telepathic detector with Amuro Toru's consent before.

At this time, Kudo Yuki turned over and mumbled confusedly: "Zero, who are you talking to?"

Amuro Toru raised his eyes and looked at her gently, "Nothing, did I wake you up? Go back to sleep."

Kudo Yuki rubbed her eyes, and saw Shushu with sleepy eyes. She instantly woke up a little and communicated with him telepathically: "Shushu, why did you jump out?"

Shushu jumped to Kudo Yuki's side with a wronged look on his face, pointed his chubby paw at Amuro Toru, and complained, "He...he can see me!"

Kudo Yuki felt like she was struck by lightning, not even noticing the blanket slipping off her shoulders. She sat stiffly in the morning light, her pupils trembling violently, her eyes moving back and forth between Amuro Toru's gentle smile and Shu Shu's bristling panic, her throat felt like there was a ball of cotton wool soaked in ice water stuck in it, even her breathing became stagnant.

"Zero, can you really see Rat?"

Amuro Toru looked at her shocked expression, chuckled, and reached out to gently ruffle her hair.

"Well, I can see it. You and I have a special connection, and I can hear your telepathic conversation with Shushu, including the videos and live broadcasts that this little guy played with the interface before. I can see them all. So, this is what Xiaoxue said before, letting me see something interesting?"

Kudo Yuki was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly came to her senses, with a trace of panic in her eyes, and she tightly grasped Amuro Toru's arm: "Then you...what else do you know?"

Amuro Toru couldn't help but find it a little funny when he saw her nervous look. He patted her hand gently and said, "Don't worry, what I know is only about you and Shu Shu. As for your identity and your mission, I still know the same as before, and only know what we both know."

Kudo Yuki's originally tense body gradually relaxed.

The rat seemed to have thought of something, and was instantly petrified, its round eyes widened even wider. Its small body trembled slightly, and even the fur on its body trembled.

The scenes of my time with Kudo Yuki emerged in my mind uncontrollably: "It's over, it's over. Those secret conversations and little actions between me and Yuki... could it be that they were all heard and seen by Amuro Toru?

I finally have a companion with whom I can talk in confidence. If he knew all these things, how would I live in peace in the future? I am scared just thinking about it! ]

Thinking of this, Shushu's heart began to beat violently, his short legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

It was filled with regret, and wanted to slap itself: "Why was I so careless that I didn't realize that Amuro Toru could see it? Now, all those little secrets hidden in my heart are exposed, right?"

Kudo Yuki looked at the petrified Shushu, feeling somewhat amused and helpless. She reached out and touched Shushu's little head: "Shushu, Zero will not tell your secret to anyone."

Shushu raised his head and looked at Kudo Yuki pitifully. His little claws tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, and his voice was tearful: "Really? He really won't tell anyone?"

Amuro Toru couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't worry little guy, I will keep it a secret for you."

Shu Shu felt slightly relieved after hearing his assurance, but he still looked at him warily, his little eyes full of suspicion, and it was obvious that he still didn't trust Amuro Toru.

Its little body was still trembling slightly, ready to run away at any time if Amuro Toru did anything wrong.

Kudo Yuki stood up and tidied her messy pajamas, her eyes inadvertently sweeping over the unfinished winery location distribution map on the table.

The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang, and the ringtone broke the subtle atmosphere in the room.

Kudo Yuki looked down at the caller ID and her expression changed slightly: "It's Manager Kuroda."

Amuro Toru nodded, indicating that she could answer the call without worry.

Kudo Yuki pressed the answer button, and Kuroda Heibei's deep voice came from the receiver: "Kudo, the training course of Morifushi Keimitsu has been completed. Before letting him infiltrate, what identity do you plan to let him use?"

Kudo Yuki thought for a moment and glanced at the winery location distribution map that had not yet been put away on the table.

"The ES Dark Amber Project initiated by Karasuma Renya has been underway for a long time. The researchers inside the winery are conducting forbidden experiments day and night, attracting the attention of all parties in the underground world. I plan to let Hiro infiltrate as a research assistant. Although he is inconspicuous, he can be at the core and obtain key intelligence."

Kuroda Heibei was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, as if he was weighing the pros and cons and thinking about the feasibility: "Well, this plan is feasible to a certain extent. However, the winery is heavily guarded. After Morobushi Kagemitsu sneaks in, you must ensure his safety and respond in time."

"I understand, old man. By the way, I will go pick up Hiro later and let him learn from Miyano Shiho the procedures that a scientific research assistant should be familiar with."

After hanging up the phone, Kudo Yuki got up and started to get dressed.

Amuro Toru's eyes unconsciously fell on the distribution map of brewery bases on the table. He frowned slightly, and quickly sorted out the current situation in his mind, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

"Xiaoxue, the infiltration plan must be carefully considered. As a researcher's assistant, you will come into contact with many people. You must ensure that Hiro can navigate the complex interpersonal relationships and not arouse suspicion."

"I understand, Zero. I will drive Hiro to Dr. Agasa's house to discuss with Ai. She will give Hiro detailed guidance, including scientific research-related knowledge and some information about the winery.

Xiao Ai is very experienced in this area. She has worked in a winery before and is familiar with the situation there. With her help, Hiro will be able to complete the task successfully."

Amuro Toru pondered for a moment, then continued: "Also, we need to prepare complete identity background information for Hiro in advance."

Kudo Yuki nodded as she buttoned up her shirt: "I've asked Shushu to search the database for suitable information. I'll bring it to Xiaoai later and ask her to help check if there are any problems."

Speaking of Shushu, Toru Amuro couldn't help but smile, and looked at Shushu who was still standing beside Kudo Yuki and staring at him warily: "Don't worry, little guy, I really won't tell your secret to anyone."

Shu Shu snorted softly and turned his head away, but his little body was no longer trembling and he was obviously a little more relaxed.

Kudo Yuki put on her clothes, walked to the table, carefully folded the distribution map of the winery locations, and put it in a file bag.

She walked to the dining table, ate a few bites of bread in a hurry, drank a glass of milk to replenish her energy, then picked up her phone and car keys, and said to Amuro Toru: "Zero, I'm leaving first. Remember to come to Dr. Agasa's house later."

Amuro Toru stood up, walked to her side, and helped her straighten her collar. "Be careful on the road. I'll be there after I finish dealing with things here."

After Kudo Yuki left, Amuro Toru sat on the bed and fell into deep thought. He knew that this infiltration plan was crucial and related to whether the winery could be completely destroyed.

Zhu Fu Jingguang's safety also weighed heavily on his mind. He silently sorted out the details of the plan in his mind, thinking about possible problems and coping methods.

Seeing that Toru Amuro ignored it, Shushu carefully approached the file bag, scratched it with its little paws, and looked around curiously.

Amuro Toru noticed Shushu's movements, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Little guy, don't move, the things in there are very important."

Shushu was so scared that he quickly shrank back into Kudo Yuki's bed, leaving only his little head exposed. His eyes were full of dissatisfaction: "I didn't move, I just took a look..."

Toru Amuro didn't bother with Shu Shu anymore. He stood up, walked to the window and looked at the street outside.

Shu Shu grabbed the magician's divination cards and held them tightly in his arms. He raised his eyes and glanced at Amuro Toru secretly. Seeing that he was still standing by the window in deep thought, he quietly crawled out of the quilt and ran to the table.

Shu Shu placed the fortune-telling cards on the table, stroked the cards gently with his little paws, and muttered, "Luckily I found them. I can't lose them again."

Amuro Toru turned from the window and looked at Shushu's precious fortune-telling cards, and couldn't help but laugh. He walked forward and knocked on the table gently, "Little guy, stop playing. Don't mess up Xiaoxue's things."

The rat was frightened and almost threw the fortune-telling cards away. It glared at Amuro Toru in dissatisfaction, "Don't scare me!"

It obediently put the fortune-telling cards back into Kudo Yuki's bag, and jumped back into the bed, leaving only a pair of round eyes exposed, looking at Amuro Toru vigilantly.

Toru Amuro shook his head and ignored Shu Shu. He sat back on the bed and continued to think about the details of Morobushi Keimitsu's plan to sneak into the winery.

To be continued...
