Chapter 364: Dark Eyes (Part )
Conan heard the sound of something breaking suddenly coming from the second floor, and couldn't help but feel a little confused, but seeing that Crazy Eyes in front of him didn't seem to react to it, he thought that maybe someone just accidentally broke a teacup.
[Explorer: Don't make so much noise in the room, or Conan will find you.]
[Prisoner: Oh my! I saw through the keyhole that he poured himself a whole bottle of potion. Do you want me to lock the door from the outside?]
[Entomologist:?!]
[Composer: Push the bookcase to his door!]
[Doctor: This is when you need to bring my excitement over to block the door.]
[Nightmare: Unhappy. (Takes out a small notebook for keeping grudges)]
[Archer: I'm a little curious about what's written in those notebooks.]
[Blind Woman: Most of it is trivial. Galatea once read some of it to me.]
[Sculptor: For example, whoever plays the "Severing Friendship" card, and who saves after half a second, etc.]
Crazy Eyes paused, waiting for Conan to think, and then continued, "Those were wonderful days. I could concentrate on my little research, and Ban could guard the forest with his deer. The young master loved to write, and the young lady would watch him while he wrote."
"But the good times didn't last long. Bann once let go a few poachers who came into the forest. After figuring out the terrain, those people came back with a vengeance. Poor Bann was pinned to a trap by those guys and suffered serious injuries. He couldn't speak normally anymore."
"By the time I heard the noise and rescued Bann, the once bustling Dross Manor was left with only the bodies of the Dross couple and Miss Alice shivering in the closet. The young master had disappeared."
"Later, Master Orpheus returned with several of his friends, including Mr. Campbell, who was still a geological surveyor, Mrs. Pliny, who was still a housewife, and Mr. Clayburgh, who had been abandoned by his family."
"The young master said that he lost some of his memory after escaping from those villains, but during the days of working hard in silence, his memory gradually recovered, so he couldn't wait to come back to find us."
"After that, the young master used his talent to write many best-selling works, and his life gradually improved. But then...then that accident happened again."
"Alas, the young master's life experience is still too bumpy." Crazy Eyes sighed deeply.
"Indeed, Uncle Orpheus's success today must have been due to the help of his friends." Conan recalled his good brother Hattori Heiji, as well as FBI agents Judy, Cameron, Akai Shuichi, Japanese Public Security Bureau's Amuro Toru, and of course the most important Mouri Kogoro and Ran. These are the people who helped him get to where he is today.
"To be honest, I don't know how much longer the young master can hold on." Crazy Eyes raised his head and said, "Little Alice, the little lady who was cloned, even though Percy is doing his best to keep her alive, but..."
Conan's heart tightened: "Could something happen to little Alice?"
"Cloning technology is inherently flawed. I remember you mentioned before that the Oletus Manor possesses very advanced cloning and artificial human technology, right? Little Alice's birth was the result of the young master gathering all the connections he could find to help."
"Even so, this technology still has its flaws." Crazy Eyes lowered his head again. "The young lady's body functions have begun to stagnate, like a sapling that will not grow again. If she is healthy, she can survive for a while, but if she contracts a disease, she will most likely not recover."
Conan frowned: "How could this happen... No wonder I haven't seen Alice come out to play with Genta and the others for a while."
"The best way to protect a sapling like this is naturally to transplant it into a greenhouse, but there's another way: to find a way to regrow it." Crazy Eyes looked at Conan. "The young master might already be thinking about how to acquire the technology from the Oritis Manor. Once he makes up his mind, he'll never give up."
"So, even if little Alice is just a replica of Mrs. Delos, Uncle Orpheus doesn't want to lose her again, right?" Conan said with a sad look. "It would be great if the technology of the Oritis Organization could truly benefit society through medical means."
[Ms. Farrow: We here are thankful that we don't take revenge on society.]
[Fire Investigator: But none of us seek revenge on society!]
[Puppeteer: How dare you say that?]
[Spell Master: Think about it carefully. Although some of us have criminal records, at least we have a reason and a basis.]
[Lawyer: Unlike the people here, who cry and throw tantrums over the slightest setback, and either want to kill the president or their romantic rival.]
[Acrobat: This shows that many people on Conan's side aren't living very happily either.]
[Fire Investigator: Once they have experienced a baptism of fire, everything will be fine and they will regain their enthusiasm for life.]
[Philanthropist: I feel like there's nothing wrong with what Florian said...]
[Air Force: Surviving a fire does indeed ignite a desire to survive.]
[Perfumer: Assuming their belongings were not damaged by the fire.]
[Bartender: Yes, if property is reduced to ashes in a fire, there's a high probability that an extra pair of shoes will be found on a rooftop, bridge, beach, or cliff.]
[Psychologist: That's why there are professions like psychologists to help people who are under too much stress.]
[Patient: Ada Ada~ I want you to help me solve my problems. I am very worried when you are not by my side~]
[Psychologist: Right here~]
[Knight: Eyes! My eyes!]
[Jack: Seriously, if Ada and Emil just spent half a day on a park bench, they'd piss off all the singles there.]
[Adventurer: Then those people will feel more stressed and seek out a psychiatrist?]
[Psychologist: I won’t open a shop. It’s too tiring.]
[Patient: Ada, I've been your exclusive patient for a long time, haven't I?]
[Psychologist: Who is my closest patient? It turns out to be Emil~]
[Mercenary: You two should stop it, I can't eat anymore.]
[Crying Clown: I've had enough dog food.]
As the night deepened, Crazy Eyes stood up and prepared to leave: "Well, little detective, it's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest."
Conan nodded, jumped off the sofa and prepared to leave when he heard an unusual noise outside the window: "There's movement outside, who is it? Could it be the 'Dark Eyes' or the Melody family?"
Crazy Eyes immediately went forward to check: "Impossible! Bane is patrolling outside, and I have set up many anti-theft traps. There is no way anyone could avoid those traps I set up and get near the mansion!"
Conan suddenly realized something: "Wait, if it's impossible for humans to sneak in without being noticed, then it's possible for the cats from the 'Dark Eyes' to sneak in. They must have some special way of training cats and dogs!"
To some extent, Conan's reasoning was correct. The thing that pushed open the window was a furry cat's paw with pink pads.
