Stay away from Conan

Chapter 379 Gao Yuan becomes smaller

"Haiyuan, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing Xiao Ai walk into the bedroom, Gao Yuan, who was lying on the bed, sat up and took the porridge and medicine brought by Xiao Ai. Under Xiao Ai's attention, after eating half a bowl of porridge, Gao Yuan picked up the porridge and medicine. Cup of potion——

Seeing this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but feel very nervous. She quietly stared at the cup of potion and slowly moved it towards the corner of Gao Yuan's mouth.

However, when Gao Yuan just took a sip of the potion, his expression became extremely ugly, as if he had drank something extremely unpleasant——

"This smell..."

Just when he was about to complain, Gao Yuan looked at Xiao Ai's eyes looking at him. He didn't say anything more and drank the potion. Then he felt extremely uncomfortable starting from his throat, and there was an overwhelming feeling in his stomach. a feeling of.

In response, Gao Yuan looked at Xiao Ai in confusion and asked curiously:

"Haiyuan...this medicine..."

Although it is medicine that I have never taken before, there is no reason why the granules are worse than traditional Chinese medicine!

Seeing this, Xiao Ai lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then squeezed out a sentence from her mouth——

"sorry……"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why Xiao Ai wanted to apologize to him.

However, as the body gradually became hotter and the heartbeat rate became faster and faster, a severe pain that spread throughout the body almost instantly finally made Gao Yuan aware of the problem——

This feeling!

Although it must have been more than half a year since the last time I felt this way in reality, at the end of the previous dream ten years later, I had just felt this feeling——

Therefore, almost subconsciously, Gao Yuan understood what happened——

"Hui...yuan..."

Struggling painfully, even his voice became intermittent. Gao Yuan curled up and trembled on the bed. Big beads of sweat kept coming out of Gao Yuan's body.

Seeing this, Xiao Ai couldn't bear it, but looking at Gao Yuan's current state, Xiao Ai was very convinced that what he was experiencing now should be the same pain he felt when he took APTX4869 and became smaller -

"As expected... Gao Yuan, you are indeed..."

Deep down in her heart, Xiao Ai is already very convinced that her judgment should be correct - although her behavior this time will definitely make Gao Yuan angry, she really can't help it...

You can do whatever you want to me afterwards!

But as the developer of APTX4869, what I plan to make is not poison at all. Therefore, as a survivor who may be the first to survive after taking APTX4869, I want to know more about you anyway!

Observing that her body began to heat up strongly, accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, and rapid heartbeat, Xiao Ai suppressed the emotions in her heart and forced herself to calm down, not wanting to miss any details of the process.

Then, gradually, Gao Yuan's body began to change in pain.

However, as the changes occurred and I witnessed all the little sorrows, I completely broke away from the emotion that I could barely maintain calmness at the beginning, and my eyes became extremely horrified——

As expected, Gao Yuan's body would return to a more mature appearance with the stimulation of "Baigan Liquor". On the contrary, it was just the opposite - Gao Yuan's body actually shrank!

Gao Yuan turned into a six or seven-year-old boy and fell on the bed exhausted. The clothes he was originally wearing became extremely ill-fitting——

"How...how could it be!"

Seeing Gao Yuan in front of her now, who had turned into a child just like herself, Xiao Ai looked at him in disbelief and shouted in a daze.

But at the same time, as the fear subsided and reason took over again, Xiao Ai's thoughts couldn't help but become extremely exciting——

"Is it possible...his symptoms are completely opposite to mine and Edogawa's!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but take off her slippers, climbed onto Gao Yuan's bed, reached out and picked up Gao Yuan, who was curled up and sleeping on the bed due to exhaustion, and then looked at Gao Yuan with a gentle expression and a sad smile. face——

"So, did you subconsciously take a step back after seeing me?"

The jungle on the island, the first meeting under the moonlight...

Xiao Ai recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help but think in her heart——

At that time, even if I hated the organization's real-life experiments, once I knew about your special case, I would let the organization bring you back no matter what...

"Haiyuan..."

When Gao Yuan woke up, he found that what he saw in front of him was Xiao Ai's face with a bitter smile. Then Gao Yuan suddenly noticed that he had turned into a child and was still lying on Xiao Ai's face. on his lap——

Suddenly, Gao Yuan turned away shyly:

"You...have seen it all..."

Whether he turned into a child, lying on the lap of Xiao Ai, who also looked like a child, or whether he turned into a child and was witnessed by Xiao Ai, Gao Yuan felt extremely ashamed.

For a moment, Gao Yuan couldn't find how to question Xiao Ai for letting him drink Baigan wine by mistake.

"I'm sorry, I'm just...too curious..."

Xiao Ai lowered his head, with a hint of sadness on his bitter smile, and said this.

In response, after hearing Xiao Ai's words, Gao Yuan closed his eyes and was silent for a moment. Then he supported his weak body and moved away from Xiao Ai's lap. After keeping a distance from Xiao Ai, he sat down tremblingly. Get up——

"The matter has come to this, I can't hide it from you anymore Huiyuan..."

Looking at Xiao Ai, Gao Yuan thought for a moment and couldn't help but said:

"As you can see, I did take APTX4869. But why I didn't die and stayed alive as is, I don't know..."

"lofty……"

Seeing that Gao Yuan didn't question him immediately after waking up, Xiao Ai's eyes widened and she felt a little surprised, and then she couldn't help but said:

"I just wanted to confirm whether you had really taken APTX4869. At the same time, I was also curious about the 'baigan wine' Edogawa said could temporarily change him back to his original state... so I did this..."

But at this time, Gao Yuan was in a complicated mood——

Originally, I was really curious about the completely different effect of my drug from Conan and Xiao Ai, but because I never knew how to explain to Xiao Ai why I had taken APTX4869, I never mentioned it to the developer of the drug. this matter.

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then told Xiao Ai that he had a cold in Osaka and was tricked by Hattori Heiji into drinking "Baigan Liquor" before he discovered this abnormality in his body. .

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have explored your secret so hastily..."

After listening to Gao Yuan's candid explanation, Xiao Ai, who lowered his head, couldn't help but apologize sincerely, and at the same time, his mood was a little low:

"I'm sorry, I won't do this again in the future. Before you are willing to tell me the truth, I will not ask about your past again..."

"but!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ai suddenly said seriously:

"Absolutely no third person should know about the fact that you survived after taking APTX4869 and still maintained your original appearance!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Ai became a little excited:

"Your current state is like the effect of APTX4869, which has been suppressed by your body for some reason... But suppression is just suppression after all. When you have a cold or are exposed to a certain substance in 'Baiganjiu' After stimulation, your body's inhibition will be ineffective, allowing the drug's effect to be temporarily exerted..."

As he said this, Xiao Ai looked serious:

"But no matter what, there is something in your body that can inhibit the efficacy of APTX4869. This is an indisputable fact! Therefore, compared to the principle of 'Baigan Liquor' temporarily changing Edogawa back to its original state, why can your body be able to function normally? The reason for suppressing the drug effect is more valuable for the research and development of this drug! "
