Qin Zhibo followed Kudo Yusaku to the rooftop of the apartment building.

Under the bright sunshine, there are countless Asian and European-style rooftop pavilions stacked one after another, like a gray-yellow regular plot of land rising one after another. The complex and moderate undulations are very suitable for parkour.

The two of them stood by the khaki low wall. Kudo Yusaku looked at the mountains in the distance and said first: "Actually, this is not my first time in this country..."

"The last time I came to Vespania was to explore the 'color' in the forest."

"Color?" Qin Zhibo asked doubtfully.

"It's where the ore field is today..." Yusaku Kudo turned his head with a smile on his face, "Since you have been to the ore field, you should be quite impressed, right?"

"There's not a single plant in that place..."

After Kudo Yusaku's reminder, Qin Zhibo really remembered it.

The land in that area was a completely different gray color than the rest of the forest, and not a single plant grew on it.

But at that time, Qin Zhibo only thought that it was special treatment of the ground by the military or Mi Ge to facilitate the mining of ores.

Qin Zhibo frowned, "You mean, that place has lost its 'color'?"

Kudo Yusaku nodded and said seriously: "You understand quickly, that's probably what you mean..."

"There was once a ranger in Vespania who claimed to have discovered 'living colors' in the forest, and then..."

"Of course, I won't go into details about these old events. They have been clearly described in my novel "The Color of the Starry Sky"."

Kudo Yusaku was silent for a few seconds and then said deeply.

"But what makes me a little confused now is...if the organization behind you is to prevent some 'bad truths' from being leaked to the public, why did you allow me to create safely for so many years?"

"Isn't the book I created the biggest leak of those terrible truths?"

Kudo Yusaku's change of topic made Qin Zhibo under the mask suddenly feel shocked.

Kudo Yusaku found Kadian!

Whether it is "Whispering in the Dark Night", "The Color of the Starry Sky", or "The Witch's Feast", they are all creations based on sensitive themes without exception.

If the secret organization mentioned by Qin Zhibo really existed, Kudo Yusaku would not have been allowed to use this kind of subject matter, and he has continued to write for so many years, and even became a world-famous writer.

Qin Zhibo's scalp tightened, and he suddenly realized the loopholes in his previous logical arrangement.

Even though my previous description of the organization was very rigorous and realistic, it was a complete copy of the official rules of the Nine Angels Organization.

But in fact, precisely because of the existence of the Nine Angels organization, all kinds of weird things in the original world will not always be exposed, and agents will deal with the matter quickly to reduce the impact.

If the original world is considered a world of high demons, this world is at best a world of medium demons.

But in this world, all kinds of weird and strange things can be publicized, and they are constantly discovered by Kudo Yusaku, and he creates novels based on them.

This is the biggest logical flaw!

Seeing that Qin Zhibo was silent, Kudo Yusaku smiled.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this now to prove anything. In fact, I just suddenly thought of it before taking action last night..."

Kudo Yusaku turned around and continued to put his hands on the edge of the khaki low wall, "And I believe that you guys are probably good people for coming forward in this matter."

"As for you hiding your identity, you must have your own reasons."

Kudo Yusaku's tone was relaxed and kind, and he didn't seem to care about the existence of the organization, nor did he want to delve too deeply into it.

But when Qin Zhibo looked at Kudo Yusaku in front of him, he felt a little entangled in his heart.

The primary goal of him and Conan is to return to the original world, and the secondary goal is to try not to create too much chaos in this world and affect the development of the world line.

But according to the current development of events, the changes to the world line have obviously exceeded what was initially imagined.

Both those who should know and those who should not know know the existence of alien races.

Mao Lilan and Mine Fujiko had their bodies changed.

There is also the upcoming decisive battle with Mi.G's large army.

These are the consequences of drastically changing the world line. Although the initiators of all this are not themselves and Conan, they cannot let the situation develop.

Now it is empty talk to say that we don’t want to change the world line.

Moreover, even if he could defeat Mi Ge in the decisive battle, Qin Zhibo had no clue about returning to the original world, except that he knew that this would require the use of Vespagna ore.

Do you believe that after catching a "surrendered" Mi-Go, you can take yourself and Conan back?

No.

After experiencing the cooperation with Mr. Clock, Qin Zhibo believes that it is not a good idea to cooperate with Mi Ge, especially a cooperation that cannot take the initiative.

What if Mi.Go directly teleports himself and Conan back to the alien lair?

Because of this, Qin Zhibo is not very optimistic about letting Mi Ge replace the heads of Mao Lilan and Feng Fujiko.

If Mao Lilan and Mine Fujiko cannot be replaced through surgery, I will have to use the second method...

But if it is the second method, the changes to the world line will be even greater.

Because when the time comes, you must show off your identity as a "traveler"!

Qin Zhibo thought silently for a while. Instead of revealing his identity in the eyes of many people, it would be better to only reveal his identity to the man who is closest to the "truth" in the world and has the qualities of an investigator.

Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo silently raised his hand to his mask.

Kudo Yusaku looked at the distant scenery, and he was somewhat looking forward to what the other party would say to him next.

Is he an investigator who is "curious" about strange events like himself?

Or should we continue to insist that there is an organization behind it?

But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man next to him raising his hand and slowly taking off the mask on his face.

Kudo Yusaku's upper body turned sideways, and as the mask was taken off, the expression on his face gradually transformed from the confusion in his eyes to a look of shock on his entire face.

His mouth opened slightly.

Under the uncovered golden mask, it turned out to be...

"It's you?!"

Kudo Yusaku looked at the man in front of him, his eyes widened slightly, and the surprise on his face was not concealed at all.

He never imagined that the person who had been with him under a mysterious identity in the past two days was really an acquaintance of his, which was exactly the same as his reasoning for why he was wearing a mask in the first place.

"Vince?"

"Aren't you in the United States? Why suddenly..."

Kudo Yusaku's words stopped abruptly, because he himself just flew over from the United States yesterday and was not qualified to criticize others.

It's just that he couldn't imagine why an American FBI, his shooting instructor when he was studying in Hawaii, came all the way here to care about the rise of an alien race that he couldn't hit with a gun.

Seeing Kudo Yusaku's reaction, Qin Zhibo also understood that he did have an identity in this world, and his identity should be very different from his "owner" in the original world.

Qin Zhibo shook his head and denied: "I am not Vince Qin, at least not the 'Vince Qin' you think."

"What does this mean?" Kudo Yusaku had a rare expression of doubt.

Qin Zhibo: "I am 'Vince Qin' from another world. To use a more scientific term, I come from a parallel world."

"parallel world……"

Kudo Yusaku took a long breath. He had been investigating this world for so many years and had written so many novels based on strange events, but this was the first time he heard about parallel worlds.

It's not that he doesn't understand this concept, but it's the first time he's heard that parallel worlds also exist in reality.

Just like when I first saw the Yis and their library, I was just as confused and shocked.

But after all, he is a person who has experienced big scenes. Kudo Yusaku just thought about it secretly for a few seconds before calming down and his facial expression returned to a relatively calm state.

"In other words, you are not the 'Vince Qin' of this world, but the 'Vince Qin' of the parallel world?"

"Yes."

Qin Zhibo nodded and rested his left hand casually on the edge of the low wall.

When communicating with Kudo Yusaku in this world, he doesn't need to pay attention to body movements or personal habits, because he is not the Vince Qin he is familiar with, and even if there are obvious differences, it can be understood.

"Then how did you come to this world?" Kudo Yusaku asked again.

Qin Zhibo explained without reservation: "It's because I met a Mi Ge at Dr. Ali's house to steal something. When Mi Ge tried to teleport away, it mistakenly teleported me to this world together.

…”

"At least that's what I guess."

"Dr. Agasa's house?" Kudo Yusaku frowned, raised his chin and asked in confusion: "That means you lived in Japan in your original world? And you also knew Dr. Agasa?"

Qin Zhibo: "Yes."

Kudo Yusaku: "..."

According to Kudo Yusaku's own understanding, although Vince Chin is of mixed race and is said to have distant relatives in Japan, he has not been in contact with him for a long time.

It makes no sense to go to Japan, because Vince Qin still has an FBI job in New York, USA, and has no time to wander around.

Could it be...that it's because of the investigation of Conan's case?
To be continued...
