Ke Xue: I got two Kaleidoscopes at the beginning

At this moment, Xiaolan was completely shocked by Shinichi's brilliant reasoning. She stood there as if she was under a spell, and even forgot to blink.

Standing nearby and witnessing the entire process, Kirito couldn't help but sigh, "Ah... Is this what they call 'it's really hard to correctly infer what a girl likes'?"

Hearing this, Naruto and Hinata, who were still in a state of shock, suddenly came to their senses. They turned their heads to look at Kirito in astonishment and stammered, "Eh? Old... Old man... Were you right next to us and listening to us talking at that time?"

"Yes, and I was there and witnessed the whole thing." Asuna said with a smile.

Knowing that there were so many onlookers at that time, the two of them gradually became confused.

Meanwhile, Shinichi turned around and his eyes fell on Ran. "However, the fact that you can't cook today isn't just because you're busy, right? There must be other reasons."

"By the way, you were late for the street photography shoot today, and then you ran all the way here in a hurry. But you are not allowed to run like that again today." Xin said, pointing his finger at Xiaolan.

Hearing Shinichi's instructions, Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a little confused. She blinked and asked curiously: "Huh? Why?"

Shinichi's cheeks instantly flushed slightly, and he lowered his head slightly, as if a little embarrassed to look directly into Xiaolan's eyes.

After a moment, Shinichi slowly raised his head and replied softly, "Because...if I keep running, I might become very sad."

After hearing this, Xiaolan was even more confused. She frowned and asked, "Huh? What kind of weird reason is this? Why would I become sad if I run again?"

Faced with Xiaolan's barrage of questions, Shinichi seemed a little at a loss.

He scratched the back of his head and said helplessly, "Oh, at least just don't run."

However, Xiaolan was not someone who was easily persuaded. She put her hands on her hips and retorted confidently, "My name is Xiaolan! Doesn't the pronunciation of 'Run' sound like someone who was born to run?"

Just when Shinichi was about to explain something, he stopped mid-sentence for some reason. Ran's eyes were focused on Xiaohan, waiting for his next words.

"Xiaolan, run to the entrance of the aquarium quickly and call the staff there!" Shinichi shouted anxiously.

His eyes were fixed on the front, as if he had seen something urgent.

"Huh? What's going on?" Xiaolan looked at Shinichi with confusion, but from his serious expression and anxious words, she realized that something was serious.

"Stop asking so many questions, hurry up! Time is running out!" Shinichi's tone was firm and decisive, leaving no room for hesitation.

"Okay, I got it!" Xiaolan nodded vigorously, then turned around without hesitation and rushed towards the entrance of the aquarium like an arrow.

Her petite figure quickly shuttled through the crowd, while she shouted: "Please make way! Please make way!"

Meanwhile, Shinichi was also busy. He took a deep breath and rushed towards the crowded crowd not far away like a gust of wind.

People were startled by his sudden action and dodged to the side.

"Man, why is there a discrepancy in my memory about this part? It feels like two different memories are emerging in my mind at the same time."

"In one of the memories, the four of us cosplayers don't exist at all; while in the other memory, although the four of us exist, the entire process of solving the case is completely blank."

"No matter how hard I try, I can't remember the specific details. What is going on?" Naruto frowned, turned his head to look at Kirito beside him with confusion, and couldn't help asking.

Kirito narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly explained: "This is because you traveled back to the past. Here, the past is actually something that has not yet happened in the future for you."

"And the reason you are in this situation is precisely because the special properties of time and space make this experience reasonable."

Listening to Kirito's detailed explanation, Naruto's originally frowned brows gradually relaxed, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his bright blue eyes.

"So, this means that I can now personally control the direction of the development of this blank memory, and it won't have even the slightest butterfly effect on the next entire year?" Naruto asked in disbelief, his voice full of excitement and anticipation.

Kirito nodded slightly, confirming: "Yes, you can understand it that way."

After getting Kirito's confirmation, Naruto's heart was instantly filled with excitement. He couldn't help but rub his hands together, and he seemed eager to try.

Meanwhile, Hinata looked at the two people talking with a bewildered look on her face. She scratched her head lightly and asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, what are they talking about? Why don't I understand a word they say?"

Hearing Hinata's question, Asuna smiled gently and answered patiently: "Xiaolan, if you want to understand what they are saying, I have to explain Einstein's theory of relativity to you first."

"But if you want to fully understand the principles and logical relationships involved, it will probably take several months of study and research."

Hinata quickly shook her hands after hearing this, and said in a panic: "Sure enough... Let's just forget it. It sounds so complicated."

"Well, brother. I'll go and catch the criminal now." Naruto said excitedly, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait! Don't leave so quickly." Kirito quickly called out to Naruto, "You can't just rush in and arrest him like this. After all, we don't have any solid evidence yet."

"And didn't you tell me before that one of your two memories contains a detailed and complete account of the case? In that case, why don't we just call Inspector Megure?"

"Please ask him to come over and help handle it. Once he gets here, we can see how the case goes and let the police take the criminal away directly."

After hearing Kirito's analysis, Naruto stopped and thought for a moment, but soon he looked troubled again: "That's a good idea, but..."
