Conan's other self

It’s over, I seem to be a child too. Kudo Shinichi, who failed to integrate into the setting earlier, was startled for a moment, but failed to react in time to Sora's approach.

Then…

Kong Tan reached out and pulled Kudo Shinichi to the side of the road.

"You bastard! If you don't keep to the side when you walk, you will die! Be careful, you brat!"

A truck passed quickly, leaving only the driver's curses and splashing water. Kudo Shinichi, who was soaked all over, sneezed.

"Shall we go back first? I still want to change my clothes." The Kongmu delivery truck that built the seven-level pagoda left, a little surprised.

Because of Kudo Shinichi, they had taken a special detour before, but they didn't expect to encounter this famous scene.

The rain wasn't heavy, but it kept falling, and he was now covered only by a coat. Although I am just a child's body, I can cover whatever needs to be covered, and it will not affect the appearance of the city... but it is really ventilated.

After this incident, Kudo Shinichi seemed to realize that things might not be what he thought. This guy didn't seem to solve his own problem, and even saved his own life.

He was distracted just now. If he hadn't been pulled away... the driver wouldn't be in the mood to curse.

After walking for a while, the silence lasted for a while. Kudo Shinichi, who had the body of a child, soon felt a little tired. Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore and spoke again: "Who are you?"

Who am I? That's a good question, Sora thought about it.

In fact, ever since he time traveled, he has been thinking about how he should live in this familiar yet unfamiliar world despite being in the same position as Kudo Shinichi.

Orphans with amnesia, orphans without amnesia...etc., he had thought of many identity settings before, but Kudo Shinichi's wonderful reasoning just now gave him a new idea.

"I'm Kudou Shin'ichii."

Hey, here again?

"You are also Kudo Shinichi."

Nonsense, as you put it.

"We are all Kudo Shinichi." Sora stopped, turned around, and looked at the stunned Kudo Shinichi playfully, "In the evening, Kudo Shinichi abandoned Mao Lilan and followed two men dressed in black. A suspicious person, but unexpectedly he was beaten by one of the guys with a stick, and then he was given strange drugs, and when he woke up again-"

"Not only did he become a child, he also became two people. You," Sora pointed at Kudou Shinichi, "and me."

The air seemed to be stagnant, and Sora could clearly hear Kudo Shinichi's breathing getting heavier. Then--

"Who would believe this!"

"Indeed...but as you can see, we have all become children."

"It's too outrageous to become two people!"

"Isn't it outrageous to become a child? This goes against the laws of physics."

"...That's much more reliable than becoming two people."

"Then give it a try."

"ha?"

"If...a person has both the appearance of Kudo Shinichi and the memory of Kudo Shinichi, then if he is not Kudo Shinichi, who else could he be?"

…

A few minutes later.

"What was the last thing I said to Dr. Agasa?"

"Doctor, I forgot to tell you, your zipper is unzipped."

…Do you know all this? Kudo Shinichi fell into deep doubts. He had asked a lot of questions in succession that few people should know, but the guy opposite him was able to handle them all with ease.

He even remembered it better than he did.

“When you eliminate the impossible, whatever is left, no matter how impossible it seems, must be the truth.”

"That's not necessarily true," Kudo Shinichi narrowed his eyes, "Maybe you have been monitoring me since I was a child, so you know almost everything about me."

"How about thinking more? For example, your life is just a play on the screen, and everyone around you is just an actor. And the life you think of as someone who knows nothing about it is just other people's entertainment. That's it. how?"

"...Hey, hey." Kudo Shinichi opened his eyes blankly, feeling a little dizzy. Compared with this, taking strange drugs and splitting into two people doesn't seem so difficult to accept.

A wild dog jumped out of nowhere, and Kudo Shinichi was slightly startled, but after seeing the two of them, the dog barked twice and then turned around and disappeared.

Sora watched the dog disappear just as he had watched the van leave before, then sighed and decided to speed up the process.

"After all, you've been the one asking me, so it's time for me to ask you."

Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment.

"What were we thinking about before going to bed last night?"

…What was I thinking about before going to bed last night? Oh, by the way, because I made an appointment to go to the amusement park with Xiaolan today, so last night... Kudo Shinichi blushed slightly, but the next moment he thought of something, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, hey …No way…

"Oh, by the way," Kong asked and answered, "we were thinking about Xiaolan. What is she doing?"

"She was wearing pure white..." Sora continued, but Kudo Shinichi almost jumped up as if he had been hit in the foot, and then rushed up and tried to block Sora's mouth, trying to stop him from continuing to speak.

But it didn't work.

Sora just casually took a step forward to the right and dodged.

"...wedding dress. Under the dim yellow light, Xiaolan glared at the person in front of her angrily, with a face full of reluctance -" Sora said slowly, and Kudo Shinichi's body gradually stiffened, " - reluctantly Read Sherlock Holmes to that guy named Shinichi Kudo."

"Tsk, I'm really mean."

Kudo Shinichi, who almost hit the streetlight, turned around. Under the dim light, it could be seen that his face was as red as a member of a black organization.

Then the two sides fell into silence for several minutes.

Just when Sora started to switch from counting sheep to mice, Kudo Shinichi finally broke the silence again.

"So... we are all... uh... Kudo Shinichi splintered?"

"That's right."

"But your personality is obviously different from mine." Kudo Shinichi struggled and pointed out the doubt.

"Because I am Kudo Shinichi's subconscious mind, and you are Kudo Shinichi's conscious mind." Sora yawned and patched his settings.

Kudo Shinichi was a little skeptical of this statement, but too many things happened tonight, and the unscientific thing of turning into a child has actually happened, so splitting into two people does not seem to be so difficult to accept——

What a ghost!

This is too unscientific!

Calm down, Kudo Shinichi, you must calm down.

Kudo Shinichi cheered himself up in his mind and tried to sort out the current situation with his chaotic mind.

First of all, this guy looks exactly like me, and even has the same injured location. Secondly, this guy not only knows things that only he should know, he even knows what he has been thinking——

"Okay, subconscious," Kudo Shinichi sighed, "What do we do now?"

"Of course I need to go home and change my clothes first," Kong replied, "to show my consciousness."

Kudo Shinichi didn't completely believe in such an unscientific thing, but he couldn't think of any other explanation for the time being, so he had to accept this setting for the time being. The two of them fell silent again and began to walk in the direction of Kudo's house.

Kudo Shinichi deliberately lagged half a step behind, letting Sora walk in front.

Sora knew he wanted to see if he knew where home was.

Kudo Shinichi also knew that Sora knew that he was testing.

This inadvertent little temptation will undoubtedly appear many times in the future, but at this moment, both of them are walking on the street as Kudo Shinichi.

It was getting late and it was raining lightly. There were only occasional trucks passing by on the road and there were no pedestrians. This also saved the two of them a lot of trouble. After all, they are still wearing the clothes of high school students, and they are just two children. When Kudo Shinichi began to gasp for air, they finally arrived.

Kudo House.

Sora glanced towards the next door. The house of Dr. Ali next door seemed to have had a small explosion not long ago, and the wall collapsed. The dim light told him that this doctor who was good at inventions and explosions was still working hard at this moment.

Kudo Shinichi jumped up and tried to reach the latch of the iron door.

"Hey, stop looking, come here and help."

"You squat down and I'll do it."

Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes, but he still squatted down and let his subconscious step on his shoulders to reach the latch. Sora pulled the latch open and jumped out.

Of course, Kudo Shinichi can actually open the door without stepping on him.

Before Kudo Shinichi could stand up, Sora walked in first, then took out the key from the place in his memory, opened the door, and walked straight towards Kudo Shinichi's bedroom in his memory.

This is also part of deepening Kudo Shinichi's trust.

Kudo Shinichi fell behind. Seeing that the guy in front of him was as familiar with this home as himself, he couldn't help but sigh again. He, Shinichi Kudo, the heir to Sherlock Holmes, might actually be cracking.
