Conan’s World Stand-in: Chapter 6 Backlash from BOSS
"Unfamiliar ceiling..."
When Guan Dounan regained consciousness, what caught his eye was an unfamiliar ceiling, or an unfamiliar roof, on which there seemed to be hair strands left by a tall person on the interior fabric of the roof because of his height. .
"Are you awake? How are you feeling?"
Guan Dounan turned his head to look, and he seemed to be lying on the back seat of a remodeled van. There was another row of seats opposite the back seat he was lying on. The eldest sister, who is around 28 or 19 years old, seems to be more capable now, with a black suit and trousers of the same color, and a pair of rimless glasses that are stereotyped as "strong women".
"Uh... okay, I'm... hiss..."
Guan Dounan nodded, wanting to get up from his career, but just as soon as he moved, there was a severe pain in his head that the brain and the skull were separated, so he couldn't help covering his head again.
"It doesn't look like you're okay at all..." Kaori Fujikatsu shook his head and took out a towel from a plastic box next to him, which seemed to have been kept warm inside, "Lie down first. Come on, I'll put a hot towel on you, it should feel better."
"Trouble..." Guan Dounan no longer reluctantly, and lay back again, letting Kaori Fujikatsu cover his face with the hot towel.
"Uh... shouldn't you show my nose and face."
However, it seemed that Kaori Fujikatsu was not very good at taking care of people, and the hot towel directly covered Guan Dounan's nose and mouth.
"Really? I'm sorry, I don't have experience in caring for people. I saw a barber shop that put a hot towel directly on a person's face." Kaori Fujikatsu took off the towel for Guan Dounan in embarrassment. also explained.
"That's probably to soften the **** or hair on my face. Fortunately, you didn't put it on me when I fainted, otherwise I'd be suffocated to death..."
"It's not that exaggerated. In theory, even if you cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel, the air can still pass through the gap..."
"Of course it's not that exaggerated, it's just a joke. How long have I... fainted?" Guan Dounan didn't want to continue this meaningless topic with Kaori Fujikatsu. He wanted to raise his hand to look at his watch, but now there was a severe pain in his head. Besides, his whole body felt sour as if it was about to fall apart, and he couldn't even lift his arms, which was the same just now, otherwise he would just lift the towel by himself.
It was probably because of the severe pain that came from his head before he fell into a coma that the muscles in his body cramped directly, and it hasn't recovered yet.
"You've been in a coma for nearly thirty minutes. Do you remember what happened before the coma?"
"Before... Director Jindai asked me to use my abilities to find the identity of the victim in the bombing case, and then... um..." Guan Dounan was about to recall, the huge messy information flow reappeared in his mind, making him quickly pay attention Force transfer, "It should be that the ability has suffered some kind of backlash."
"Well, we guessed that too. After all, your ability is to 'recover what's lost'. Although the lost identity of the victim can also be counted in this category, it is still too far-fetched." Kaori nodded, and seemed to already know the reason why Guan Dounan said this, "Because the second bottle of sun was sucked away by the book and realized that your ability can also work in the matter, it may have made us overestimate your ability. "
"It should be... After all, the ability to substitute is limited, not for people to play word games to find bugs." Guan Dounan didn't try to explain, just let them think. After all, the ability he showed to Lesson N is still in the category of "retrieving lost things". Since Kei Koujiro thinks that his request is unreasonable and his ability is backlashed, let him think so.
Perhaps at the beginning, Kei Kamdai also wanted to test how far his "recovery" ability could be, and whether he could use word games to find the flaws, but he accidentally hit it by mistake... but if there is a choice , Guan Dounan would rather not make this mistake.
He knew very well the reason why he would lose consciousness. The person who was killed by the bomb was a member of the black organization. Under the influence of the BOSS, if he wanted to use his ability to find out his secrets, it was equivalent to touching the BOSS's prohibition. I was taught a lesson by him.
Fortunately, he was only in a coma for a while and didn't die directly or something. However, the backlash received this time has been more than a little stronger than that of Conan and Belmod. It is difficult to say if there is a next time, whether I can survive.
However, it seems that as long as it is not directly related to that organization, the indirect information will not touch the BOSS. I have used my abilities to detect Conan's abilities so many times before, and I would have died more than once if I had reacted. Moreover, the organization information obtained through observation and reasoning with eyes and mind, instead of using abilities directly, does not seem to touch the boss either.
What does this limit look like... Alas, the ability is not data-based and hierarchical. Although it is true, it is not very convenient. In short, in the case of not finding a safe and suitable range of abilities, it is better to use less abilities. In this detective-themed world, it's not a bad thing to have extra brains.
Emperor Morigu... Maybe it has something to do with that organization, so don't use your abilities, there is this guy Conan, and that guy's attitude is so strange, he can always find out some clues.
"How's it going?"
Guan Dounan was thinking about his abilities. The door of the van was opened, and Kamidai Kei stood at the door and asked the two of them.
"He just woke up not long ago, but it seems that the impact is still very serious." Kaori Tokatsu replied, and Guan Dounan also barely raised his hand to greet him.
"Well... the investigation over there is almost done. I'll take care of him. You go to the scene and watch."
"OK."
Kamdai Kei and Fujikatsu Kaori changed shifts, sat down in the van, and looked at Guan Dounan, who was resting beside him.
"Are you okay? You must have suffered quite a bit before you passed out, right?"
"Yeah, I almost thought my head was going to be peeled into several layers like an onion. This kind of backlash is really... terrifying." Guan Dounan said half-truths.
"Well, yes. However, you don't seem to have grown up at all, after all, you are a boss..." Kamdai Kei nodded, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, and he stared at Guan Dounan playfully.
