How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: [Image]

『 』 (empty): Yeah, great! (thumbs up)

Celine Kaslana: This angle...Mom, when did you take this picture?!

I am Elena: Hahahaha!

I am Elaina: Finally, I have finally accomplished it! Tomorrow is the moment to prove that I am Elaina!

I am Elena: @ElenaIsTheBestInTheWorld, No Arguments Allowed!!!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Oh, what a rare guest!

Elena is the best in the world, no arguments allowed: What rare guest? This guy tags me every night, saying he wants to have a showdown with me, when all I am is a pathetic modern high school student who can't even fight a chicken.

"I am Elena: Hmph! I have already mastered that Book of Laws, and tomorrow, I will have a final battle with you!"

Newbie (just there to fill a spot): Huh? Learned the Book of Laws?

Noelle: Yes, that damned witch has been busy with this all along, she's been yelling about it every night.

Elena is the best, no arguments allowed: Congratulations! As for the duel, I concede, you win.

Elena is the best in the world, no arguments allowed: they won't change their minds.

This lady is Elena: ......

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: That's right, I won't change my mind, you scumbag witch.

Sirin Kaslana: Hmm, that sounds like a sad story.

Newbie here just trying to make up the numbers: When will all the group members finally be able to sleep?

Noelle: A bunch of salted fish can't possibly understand this.

Celine Kaslana: Even Purple Mom needs to sleep and hibernate, let alone the others in the group.

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumps on Jade: Purple Mom never dreamed she'd be dragged into this mess / Funny

This young lady is Elena: Hmm, that old lady is quite good at taking care of herself, going to bed so early.

Noelle: Is it possible that you've been obsessed lately, and your sense of time has become completely distorted?

Ordinary Passerby A: My head... my head hurts so much, what's wrong with the group owner?

Ordinary Passerby A: @A newbie who's just getting started suddenly has a splitting headache, it hurts so much!

Newbie (just filling a spot): Oh? You mean that modified body tempering fluid? It has a few minor side effects, don't worry about it.

Ordinary passerby A: A minor side effect...

hiss...

When the headache struck, Jie Gu Rixu would frantically scratch his head and roll around on the ground in an attempt to alleviate the pain.

Unfortunately, his headache didn't improve; instead, he started pulling out handfuls of his own hair.

At a young age, she already has her own bald patch.

This is just a tiny side effect!?

Before losing consciousness, only this thought flashed through Hiyuki Kiyokawa's mind...

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping Jade: Fulli, you've changed. The medicine you're prescribing now has side effects.

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumps on Jade: The newcomers are all silent, are they going to eat someone to death?

Sirin Kaslana: It shouldn't be that bad, Mom mixed in an HP potion.

Noelle: Suffering from a headache and losing health while simultaneously regenerating health to prevent death—what kind of torture is this?

Newbie (just filling a spot): Hmm, you'll lose consciousness. Looks like the proportion of the stimulant was too low.

A newbie in the group retracted a message while just filling in the numbers.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: ∠( ? 」∠)＿

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping Jade: I've already seen it / Sideways glance

"I am Elena: Are you preparing medicine? This is something I'm good at. For just a little payment, I can help you!"

Holmes: Phew, finally done.

Holmes: Miss Group Owner, are you still awake? Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, Xiaolan might have been in danger with me!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ?

Celine Kaslana: Looks like Mom messed up.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Wait, why are you reacting like this?

Holmes: ? What is this reaction?

Seven-Colored Leopard Leaps Over Jade: /Swallowing Ingots

Noelle: It seems that it really did crash and burn (hands on hips)

Chapter 995 Reiterating, Miss Fox Actually Doesn't Like Using Her Brain

Because of the riddles told by the people in the group at the time, Shinichi Kudo did not take the initiative to find the brewery employees himself, but instead asked Inspector Megure to set up a cordon and arrest them.

In the end, Gin escaped after being discovered that something was wrong.

But Vodka was caught.

A batch of drug A was also seized.

Newbie here to fill in the blanks: Good grief, the first episode is already the finale?!

Holmes: Hey, group admin, you didn't lie to me about something, did you?

At this point, how could Shinichi Kudo not realize that things were definitely not as he thought?

Miss Fox's simple words led her to believe that Xiao Lan's relationship had progressed further because she went with him to find that group of people, which resulted in them experiencing a life-or-death crisis together. She was indeed too naive.

He even spent a while worrying about how to avoid the original plot, but it turns out that it wasn't the original plot at all!

Noelle: This isn't the first or second time the fox has tried to mislead people, but I didn't expect it to backfire this time~

Holmes: So, now you can tell me how the original story begins.

Holmes: Anyway, according to you, I've already won the game from the start, and it's already the finale.

Sirin Kaslana: It's not exactly a straight-through, it just removed the main motivation for advancing the main storyline.

Heart of Thunder Lord: It's not entirely out of the question. After all, if they knew about the brewery beforehand, even the Heisei era's Sherlock Holmes would have intervened without hesitation.

Holmes: ......

Newbie just filling in the numbers: ∠( ? 」∠)＿

This lady is Elena: Hey~

Newbie just filling in the blanks: As for the original work, there's really nothing to care about.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: So, after you went along, Gin discovered you, knocked you unconscious with a stick, forced you to drink one of their organization's most dangerous drugs, and then left.

Holmes: I see. So it's because my constitution is somewhat unique that the medication wasn't fatal?

Holmes: On one hand, those people were watching me, and on the other hand, I had a death time limit due to the drug. We were constantly playing a game of cat and mouse, and in the end, the detective won!

Noelle: ...

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping Jade: I can't say I guessed it all right, but I can say it was completely off track. /Eating melon seeds

Holmes: Ah, did I guess wrong?

Shinichi Kudo recalled what Miss Fox had told him before: after this incident, his relationship with Ran Mouri progressed rapidly.

This statement misled his thinking at the time, but judging from the discussion among the group members, it is indeed true, just not fully stated.

With the emergence of things like inter-universe chat rooms, he is also a character from a comic book world.

Holmes: Could it be that I died and became a ghost, using Ran to conduct detective work and ultimately destroy that criminal organization?

Thunder Lord of the Mind: Damn, this guess has gone up a whole level!

This young lady is Elaina: Mr. Holmes of the Heisei era seems to be adapting very well to this chat group, taking this kind of thing into consideration so naturally~

Holmes: Existence is reality. A qualified detective only needs this kind of thinking after broadening their horizons.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: At times like this, I have no choice but to tag a certain electrifying girl.

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping Jade: @NewbieGirlWhoJustMakesTheNumberIsBusySleeping/Funny

Holmes: So, is this how the original story begins?

Celine Kaslana: Don't worry, it's not like that, but it's still pretty absurd.

Holmes: That's outrageous too?

Noelle: For example, have you ever thought that one day you might suddenly become a primary school student?

Holmes: ...Seriously?

Noelle: Yeah, seriously (hands on hips)

Holmes: Well, I've thought about it now.

No wonder, no wonder those guys all acted as riddle tellers back then, swaying left and right, but just wouldn't tell him the specifics.

So they were all waiting for him to be drugged and turned into a primary school student!

Fortunately, due to that unclear spoiler, he inadvertently avoided the original beginning and did not become a primary school student as in the original work.

Otherwise, this will definitely become the main topic of teasing him in the group chat.

Shinichi Kudo believed that these netizens were definitely capable of doing it!

Holmes: Wait a minute, the experimental drug turns people into elementary school students. Could that criminal organization be developing an elixir of immortality?

Newbie (just filling in the numbers): Congratulations, you got it right!

To the newbie who just wanted to fill in the blanks: By the way, I can also tell you that this drug has an extremely high success rate if taken by someone under 20 years old. In the original work, the two examples of people under 20 who took the drug both ended up as elementary school students.

Holmes: The other person must be my teammate.

Holmes: Since it's a comic book, they'll definitely try to avoid character repetition. That guy who's a high school detective like me is definitely out of the question.

Holmes: Comic books need climaxes, so the most suitable climax would be someone from that organization who appears and then beats me up. That would be both interesting and suspenseful, and it could also fill one or two chapters of filler content.

Holmes: So, there's a high probability it's someone who defected from that organization.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Why couldn't you have joined the group sooner?! (Slightly annoyed)

Holmes: ?

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping Jade: Hint, Fuli doesn't like to use her brain much / Swallowing Gold Ingots

True Lord of Thunder and Lightning: If you had come in earlier, you would have been able to think about many of the things she encountered before.

Celine Kaslana: It's not too late now, is it?

Holmes: (Ashamed)

Holmes: I think it's better to try to think for yourself. Relying too much on others will always lead to problems.

Noelle: That's certainly true, but that doesn't stop an external brain from being useful.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: ∠( ? 」∠)＿ Okay, let's get back to the main topic.

Newbie here to fill in the numbers: Although our Heisei-era Sherlock Holmes avoided becoming an elementary school student, we can't really say we've completed the game yet.

Holmes: Hmm, my situation, and Ran's... are actually more dangerous than in the original story.

Gin, this character should be the villain who is his counterpart.

This person's escape will inevitably bring him into the organization's sights.

Although he may not be taken seriously, he will likely be investigated, and Ran Mouri will also be under scrutiny because of him, potentially facing danger.

Holmes: Although I highly doubt how this organization, riddled with traitors, manages to survive, as the biggest mastermind in the story, its capabilities must be considerable.

Holmes: I need power to protect Ran.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Once you've mastered it, it's like a game-changer, unless the brewery can use high-powered firearms to deal with you~
