Chapter 572 Is it private?
Putting himself in his shoes, Conan felt that Kogoro Mouri would definitely not cover up for Martin, not to mention that he was a dangerous boy who often quarreled with his daughter. Even if he was his own son, he would have to sacrifice his own son for the sake of justice this time.
What will happen now? What will Martin do? What will his family do?
Conan certainly isn't worried that anything might happen to Martin; what he's worried about is that this group of people might cause something bad to happen to others.
Suddenly, Conan felt himself in a trance, but it was very brief, like a yawn, and Conan didn't pay attention to it at first.
Until he heard Maori Kogoro's inexplicable excitement and shouted: "Tornado! Solar storm! Gas leak! None of these disasters killed me, Maori Kogoro. This is the manifestation of my wise and brave Maori Kogoro being blessed by the gods, ahahahaha——!"
What are you talking about? Isn't uncle being questioned by the FBI about the hijacker? Where is the FBI?
Conan discovered that the person in front of Kogoro Mouri was not the FBI at all, but media reporters from ABC, NBC, CBS and other media who were holding microphones and carrying cameras.
"what's the situation?"
"Uncle, the reason why your plane appeared from Japan to the United States is that you encountered a tornado suddenly while sailing. The plane was caught in the tornado and was thrown to the vicinity of the United States." Suzuha, who had known about this for a long time, explained calmly, and circled her fingers in the air to indicate the plane was caught in the tornado:
"Because of the sudden solar storm, radar and radio systems across the United States were disrupted and malfunctioned; a large-scale natural gas pipeline leak occurred at Tacoma Airport, and all nearby staff and passengers fell into a long-term coma due to gas poisoning."
"This 'quasi-air crash' was recorded in history in this way." Suzuha said to the confused Conan: "In many people's memoirs, there is also a record of a young hero who stepped forward after the pilot of the plane was unable to continue to control the plane."
Conan was a little embarrassed, scratched his cheek with his fingers, and turned his head away: "Is it... me?"
"No, it's Uncle Martin."
"Damn it, does he still have any shame?" Conan was defeated.
And having said that, Conan also understood what the trance just now was about... When Martin's transformation ends, it will tamper with people's memories of the overly bizarre and supernatural phenomena that day into memories that are more in line with common sense. According to Martin himself, this is another mechanism different from cognitive distortion.
Based on Conan's experience, what happened today would at most erase the Minions, spaceships and other things from people's memory. They should still remember that a bald guy with a long nose hijacked the plane. What's more, what Ma Wu did had nothing to do with Martin's superpowers.
But it is obvious that after Martin has gained control of his superpowers, he can freely control this mechanism, just like refreshing Conan's infinite status, and modify everything that happened today, even things that have nothing to do with him, into another version at will.
Although there would be no conflict, and no one was injured in the end (except for the dead Makiri), it can be regarded as a happy ending. But Conan always felt a little weird. Was it because he was living in a false history? Or was it because Martin was a lawless lunatic who did whatever he wanted?
"Uncle Shinichi, Uncle Shinichi?" Suzuha called out to Conan who was distracted: "Are you in a bad mood? Do you want to go out and play for a couple of days to change your mood?"
Conan turned his head and glanced at Suzuha, who looked like a high school student. She was holding a stack of US dollars given by the vest in her hand, and she looked expectant, which clearly showed that she wanted to go out and play.
That’s right, she also explained that she came to this time and space just to have fun.
"Where do you want to go?" Conan asked, considering that this kid is his junior. Although he already has rich experience in taking care of children, the age of this junior is actually similar to his own, and he doesn't know if he can take care of him.
"We discovered a parallel world that is very similar to this world!" However, Suzuha's answer was beyond Conan's expectations. What she wanted to go to was not some American tourist attraction or amusement park, but something that was directly beyond Conan's cognition.
"Close, what do you mean...?"
"Both levels!" Ling Yu explained immediately: "Although there is no spatial relationship between the worlds, there is indeed a difference in distance. That world is very close to this world, so Uncle Martin can use his ability to send me there."
"On the other hand, the historical process of that world is very similar to this world, except that Uncle Martin did not interfere..."
Conan understood and drank a sip of iced cola. It was the same "story" as his own world...
"…The only specific difference is the setting of the current boss of the Black Organization."
Conan sprayed the Kuole he just drank all over the floor: "In different worlds, will the organization's BOSS settings be different?"
Suzuha knew what Conan was upset about, but nodded regretfully: "I heard that for some reason, only the existence of the Black Organization is a conclusion, while the current boss and some members of the Black Organization are set to diverge."
What is this... Conan wiped the Coke from the corner of his mouth speechlessly. But what about going to see myself in the world where Martin hadn't been killed? And what about my future? I was really tempted.
"The time in our world and that parallel world is different. If we convert it, it should be about half a year earlier than ours... Uncle Shinichi hadn't become a child at that time." Suzuha squinted.
Was it that long ago? Conan recalled his own commentary on the annual show, and then an idea came to his mind: "You say... can I give some reminders to my other self?"
Conan's thoughts were so easy to understand that Suzuha sneered, "Eh? I thought that what happened before had made Uncle Shinichi realize the dangers of easily changing the past."
Conan's face paled as he recalled his own ten thousand reincarnations.
Suzuha was still mocking: "Of course, the you in the parallel world is not the same as your past. Even if you hurt him badly, it will not affect you, so Uncle Shinichi, you can do experiments as much as you want. We will support you."
"Heh... I suddenly don't want to go there anymore." Conan finally gave up hope for that parallel world. He could neither see his own future nor collect any useful information about the Black Organization. Trying to change his other future would most likely make the situation worse.
"By the way, you and Ma Wu just ran to this time and space, aren't you afraid of changing the future?" Conan was curious.
"There are many reasons." Ling Yu thought for a moment: "First, the relationship between our future world and this world is quite special. The future world is composed of multiple worlds connected together to form a more stable system. This world is only a part of it. Therefore, the space-time paradox caused by the past world will have limited impact on the future."
Conan remembered that after Suzuha's last visit to this time and space, Martin had mentioned this speculation in casual conversation: in the future, there might be multiple worlds merged together, at least the world he was born in, this world, and Doraemon's world are interconnected.
"Secondly, our actions have always been supervised by the Space-Time Administration. If we really do something that will affect the future, the Space-Time Administration will intervene. For example, if Sister Xiaowu sells the terminals she brought publicly in this era and interferes with the technological route, she will face some punishment."
"Finally, if we really get into big trouble... Xiaoji will help me find a solution, and Uncle Martin will also clean up the mess for Sister Xiaowu."
"I see..." Conan felt weird. Why was it so difficult for him to intervene?
But then, Conan saw Kogoro Mouri finish the press interview and was looking around with his arms folded. Needless to say, he was definitely looking for himself and Martin.
... "So, we can't get involved in 'Old Three's' affairs for now." Ma Jia's face was not very good. Although his methods were criticized, this eldest brother did always care about his younger brothers and sisters.
However, Ma Wu did not bring all bad news. Although the current situation of "Ma Bing" is worrying, there is no need to rush about it.
Ma Wu looked innocent and said, "That's why I didn't want to tell you. This matter can only be solved by the second and third sisters themselves."
Martin seemed even more heartless: "I used to think that my sister was a little schizophrenic, and it turned out that it was not my illusion... So my sister turned out to be a twin?"
"You can ask them when she comes back." The vest smiled and said, "I guess they will kick your ass one by one."
"Hoo... Fourth Brother." Ma Wu took a long breath and said, "I don't have enough mana. I have to cancel the ability."
Maintaining the buff that increased Martin's controllability also required continuous consumption of Ma Wu's strength. It only increased by 40% and lasted for minutes, which exhausted Ma Wu's mana bar. Although Ma Wu had used his abilities many times, the consumption was a drop in the bucket compared to using his abilities on Martin.
If the mana bar is really used up, Ma Wu's guaranteed passive skill will be triggered, which will weaken all attributes on this planet to one thousandth.
"Hold on for a few more seconds. I'll rewrite today's script." Martin looked up at the sky. He seemed to be in a trance, but he was actually rewriting the script. Then, through the operation of the world, he overwrote what had already happened. "Should I shout [Over Heaven] to sound more impressive?"
(The power beyond heaven is to overwrite reality.)
Then Martin snapped his fingers casually, and when the brother and sister came to their senses, they found that Martin's appearance had changed.
"Daniel Wu?" Ma Jia raised his eyebrows.
"I've wanted to transform into a Yanzu for a long time, but I never got the chance." Wu Yanzu Martin Fenzu smiled. When transforming, he let the status refresh take effect on him as usual. Under the effect of the status refresh, the effect of improving the degree of control over superpowers has disappeared.
As soon as the effect disappeared, Ma Wu's complexion immediately looked better, and this change was also noticed by Ma Jia.
"Let's stop here today. There is so much information that I need some time to digest it." Ma Jia said, "I still need some preparation for the operation in the main god space, and Xiao Wu also needs time to recover his energy, but we will make plans after we are ready."
"Wait, I brought something for you." Ma Wu took out a few objects the size of rice grains from his pocket, and then used his ability to enlarge them. They turned out to be four silver metal watches.
"Reincarnation Watch." Martin recognized this thing. He had one before, but it was similar to the Poké Ball. It disappeared after leaving the main god space.
"I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten! I should have saved a Poké Ball for Rabbit while I could still control my ability! No... where is Rabbit?"
Daniel Wu and Martin looked around and didn't notice when Rabbit ran away.
Well, Martin had to admit that ever since he reunited with Ma Wu, his attention had been focused on his sister and he had neglected Tuji.
"Is this the method used by the main god space to control the reincarnators?" Ma Jia picked up the watch and looked at it carefully: "Hmm? It's not what I thought. Is this Xiao Wu's work?"
"It's definitely not the style of the main god space." Martin also picked one up and looked at it, then looked at Ma Wu: "Did you modify the system inside?"
“Hehehe…” Ma Wu put his hands on his hips proudly.
……
Ma Jia left with a second-hand Reincarnation watch made by Ma Wu. Afterwards, Martin took Ma Wu back to the entrance of the fast food restaurant and found the little rabbit who was making a fuss.
Afterwards, he reunited with Conan Suzuha and Maori Kogoro, because in the current history, it was Martin who turned the tide when the accident happened and flew the plane to Tacoma Airport, and Maori Kogoro was very enthusiastic towards him.
Martin introduced his sister Mago to Maori Kogoro, and Suzuha continued to introduce her as Martin and Mago's cousin.
"Hi, Uncle Kogoro, I'm Ma Wu." Ma Wu greeted cheerfully, "You can call me Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, or Xiao Mao."
"cat?"
"If you read the Chinese pinyin of 猫 (cat) in romanization, doesn't it look a lot like my name?"
Martin interjected: "More like 'malo' to me."
"Is it private?"
"Your sister looks about the same age as you." Maori Kogoro looked at Ma Wu and asked, "How old is Xiao Wu today? Is she studying or working in the United States?"
"He's five years old this year!" Ma Wu said as a matter of course, "He's in the last year of kindergarten!"
Five years old? Maori Kogoro has dead eyes. Judging from her habit of talking nonsense, she is indeed Martin's sister.
……
Originally, Kogoro Mori and his crew were planning to travel in the United States for two days before returning to Japan, but a call from Xiaolan made Conan want to go back immediately.
The reason was that after Xiaolan went shopping with Sonoko and Fusae for a day today, when she returned home in the evening, she found an invitation to Kogoro Mouri in her mailbox, inviting him to attend an inappropriate Halloween party.
Originally, Xiaolan would not open the letter to Maori Kogoro without permission before he returned home. But Xiaolan accidentally noticed that the sender's signature on the envelope was... Vermouth.
