Transmigrated into Conan, his ability is Rhodes Island

Chapter 24: The most difficult episode to pass censorship.

"What? You're saying Ah Hong is doing drugs? Impossible, he... he's not that kind of person!"

Akihara anticipated the other party's strong reaction, so he made a "shh" gesture at her while waving apologetically to the people around them who were glancing at him.

"This is just one possibility, and I'm saying it's possible they were drugged. Several drugs can cause extreme euphoria in first-time users, keeping them awake for days and nights, matching the symptoms you just described, and can even induce schizophrenia..."

The system stopped eating sunflower seeds, its voice filled with shock: "Wait... how did you even think of this possibility? Should I reassess the risk level of Terra...?"

"Shut up, I'll sue you for defamation! We're a 12+ game, based on a fictional story and fantasy world, with no content based on real history or events... You should be more concerned about whether this chapter will pass censorship!"

In explaining the causes of schizophrenia, the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that it is a complex, multifactorial disease, not caused by a single factor. Current scientific research has not been able to pinpoint a definitive cause. However, there is evidence that gene interactions and multiple environmental factors may work together to increase the risk of developing the disease. In addition to biological factors, social and psychological factors are also believed to potentially influence the onset and course of schizophrenia.

It is worth noting that heavy cannabis use is associated with an increased risk of schizophrenia. This does not mean that cannabis directly causes schizophrenia, but it may be a risk factor that triggers or exacerbates the disease.

So what he needs to do now is to make bold assumptions and carefully verify them.

Seeing that the other person fell into a brief silence due to shock, Akihara Kazumitsu was in no hurry to urge her. He took another sip of the brewed water before speaking again: "Think carefully again, did he say anything to you before or after that?"

"Ah... speaking of which, among the gifts he mailed me was a bottle of wine. It was mailed not long after we mentioned in our call that 'his friend wanted to harm him.'" Masano Riya took a sip of sparkling water, just like Akihara, and composed herself before replying.

"The bottle of wine was green, and it had English words on it that I didn't recognize... At the time, I felt that this gift was too expensive. He must have worked hard to save up for a long time to buy it. I thought I would take the bottle of wine back and return it after he came to see me for his doctor's appointment..."

"Where is this bottle now?" Based on the other person's description, Akihara guessed that the bottle might be absinthe. For a long time, this liquor was believed to have hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac effects, although these were later proven false.

"It's at my house... You mean there might be something wrong with this bottle of wine?" Due to the professionalism displayed by the other party, Eda no Risa unconsciously changed her way of addressing Akihara and started using a respectful term.

"Perhaps. Maybe we can take it to Miyano-senpai and check if there are any other ingredients inside."

Masato hesitated for a moment about inviting a strange man to her home, but ultimately nodded in agreement.

……

The two took a taxi for about twenty minutes and arrived at the apartment in Edamasa.

Having just graduated, Masato Edara clearly didn't have the extra money to improve her living conditions. The apartment she lived in was a converted old building, which had been fitted with a so-called fresh air system, presumably to improve its competitiveness. According to Edara herself, this only increased the difficulty of cleaning and the possibility of mosquitoes falling in at any time.

"Please come in."

Akihara changed his shoes and walked into the apartment in Shigeno. He quickly glanced around: light-colored curtains, several well-cared-for green plants, a vase on the table filled with water and fresh flowers... Although the apartment was old, it was very well-maintained.

"Please have a seat, I'll get you some tea."

"No need for that trouble, Ms. Eda. Let's get that bottle of wine and go find Miyano-senpai as soon as possible."

"Oh, oh, okay, just a moment." Masano hurriedly pushed open the door to her bedroom, emerging with a bottle of green liquid in her hand. "This is what I was talking about."

Akihara took the bottle from the other party; the bottle was clearly marked with several gilded English letters—Dionesium.

The moment Akihara saw those letters, his expression froze, and the system simultaneously sensed the greatest emotional fluctuation the other party had experienced since his transmigration.

"What's wrong? What's wrong, host? Are you alright?" the system hurriedly asked. Then it realized that as soon as it asked the question, the other party's emotional fluctuations returned to a flat line.

"It's nothing." Akihara rubbed his temples. "I just felt for a moment that I hadn't traveled to Mika, but to Gotham. Maybe it's just a coincidence of names...maybe."

Noticing Akihara's emotional fluctuations, Masano-ri also became nervous. She cautiously asked Akihara, "What's wrong? Have you noticed anything amiss?"

"It's alright." Akihara smiled. "I already messaged Miyano-senpai on the way, we can just go there directly."

"Ok."

Just as Akihara was about to get up from the tatami mat, he suddenly felt dizzy and his vision went black. If he hadn't been quick enough to grab the table next to him, he would have almost stumbled and fallen.

"I knew it, staying up late can easily lead to sudden death..." Qiu Yuan weakly complained in his mind.

"Obviously not, host! Look, Ms. Eda no Satoshi has already collapsed! (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻" the system shouted in Akihara's mind.

Akihara seemed unable to support himself and fell forward. As he fell, he knocked over a vase full of water. He then used his sleeve to wet the water and covered his mouth and nose.

“I didn’t notice it at first. I thought it was the smell of her air freshener or something. Now that I think about it, this fragrance must be sevoflurane…” Akihara glanced at the vent in the corner of the wall and guessed that the anesthetic was probably placed there. He bit his tongue, forcing himself to stay awake, and then found that his dizziness was lessening.

He remained silent. "System, who exactly is Akihara Kazuhiro, and why is he resistant to anesthetics?"

Seeing that he was alright, the system was relieved. "Please use the memory rewind card."

Akihara:……

Just as he was considering whether to go closer to check on her, he heard the click of a key turning in the door.

The door creaked open, and a young man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt stood in the doorway, the blade in his hand gleaming coldly under the light from inside the room.

It was none other than Kazuhiro Mitsumura, the ex-boyfriend that Masano Kore-no mentioned.
