"Welcome!" The chubby manager put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up to greet them.

[Great, the ninth customer of the day!

One more and I'll win!]

【。。。】

Qi Mu looked at the empty and shabby shop.

[Hey, dinnertime is almost over. Is it really okay for the business to be so bad?]

Just as he was hesitating whether he should go to another restaurant, the only waiter in the shop came over with a glass of water.

"One more customer?

Please sit here. "

[That's strange. He should be a high school student. Why is he eating ramen alone at this hour?]

Qi Mu stayed in the end. Listening to the waiter's double recommendation, he ordered the signature "King of Hell's Ramen."

The noodles were cooked quickly.

[Hehe, bring your family and friends next time after you eat.]

Qi Mu took his first bite while the manager and the waiter smiled proudly.

[Sorry, I can't bring others.]

Qi Mu quickly devoured all the noodles and side dishes under the two's surprised gazes. [But I can take care of the business here.]

[One more bowl.]

The manager went to cook the noodles again. Qi Mu drank the soup slowly.

Maybe it was because he had been hungry for too long, and the taste was indeed top-notch. This bowl of ramen, which he didn't know whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, was as important as the coffee jelly in his heart.

[I didn't expect this.]

The waitress looked a little confused. [And he's eating hot ramen in a warm room with a hood.]

But soon she didn't have time to think about it.

When Qi Mu began to eat the second bowl of ramen at a normal speed, another pair of customers came into the shop.

It was the mustached uncle and the bespectacled primary school student.

"Hehe, I won the bet just now," the manager said to the waiter with a smile.

[Indeed, uncle. You don't have to think about how to quibble about 'two bowls for two people.' That's great.]

After this "uncle and nephew" pair, another customer came, but it broke the beautiful atmosphere in the shop.

Qi Mu listened to the quarrel and the negative emotions in everyone's hearts and decided to leave the battlefield as soon as possible.

However, he could stay in the vicinity for a while to prevent someone from doing anything.

[Take it as a way of thanking this' delicious to death '.]

However …

She couldn't find her purse.

It was only then that Qi Mu remembered that before he 'smuggled' out of the country, he had stored the bag with the 'GPS' in the locker next to the bus station. He had also stuffed his wallet into the locker in a hurry.

[It's okay. The washroom here can be used normally.]

"Teleport" to get it.

The only thing to note was that the clerk had already seen him — after he finished speaking and paid the bill, he rummaged through his clothes and waved his arms so fast that they left afterimages.

Qi Mu calmly said that he needed to go to the restroom under the doubtful gaze of the shop assistant and the Glasses Imp.

[Call for help?

But actually, credit is fine too, since you're so supportive.]

[Thank you, but I don't like owing favors.]

[This person didn't bring his wallet, right? I saw that the window in the bathroom was very small. He probably wasn't trying to escape through the window.]

[Although I do want to go out, I'm not trying to escape.]? _?

In front of the locker.

Qi Mu took out a few bills and put his wallet back.

While waiting for the cooldown of his' Teleport ', he was also paying attention to the situation in the ramen shop.

[Another customer?

It seems that this shop can still be saved.]

[Ah, not good.]

Just as the three minutes were about to pass, someone suddenly came here to store something.

The lockers in this area were all against the wall, so there was no place to hide.

If he walked out, he would attract the attention of the guards who didn't see him coming in, so Qi Mu decided to continue waiting.

[The people in the shop don't seem to have the spare energy to pay attention to me who 'stayed in the bathroom for a long time'.]

Qi Mu looked at them and said something. The 'uncle and nephew' happily ate the noodles, and the annoying square-faced man with glasses also began to take a bite.

Then he 'pretended to be dead' with a painful expression.

?_?

[Hey, although I know you're up to something, this is too exaggerated.]

It was just one bite. How could food poisoning be so fast?

[Looks like I don't have to do anything.]

Sure enough, the bearded man couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed his collar to argue.

Now he was the only one left, and the other person also 'professionally' fell to the ground while foaming at the mouth.

[It's time to go back. 'Teleport'!]

"Brother Tanaka, give me a hand. Let's throw this bastard out!" The voice of the store manager came from outside the bathroom.

"Okay." The new customer answered.

[But he's not 'pretending' to be dead this time.]

?_?？!

Qi Shen looked at the section break with a confused expression.

Under the 'witty primary school student's' reminder, the police soon arrived.

"It's you again, Maori bro." Mu Mu was already used to it.

"Hey, isn't this Qi Mu?" Officer Takagi was surprised.

After some questioning, although Qi Mu, who had no motive and was quite a distance away from the victim, was less of a suspect, his previous "abnormal behavior" was indeed questioned.

[I didn't bring my wallet.]

Qi Mu took out a folded bill from his pocket. [I hid this in my shoe.]

He handed it to the waiter.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned into the size of beans.

"… Please, please put it there first." The waiter stuttered.

[Actually, you can buy it on credit …]

After that, it was a body search.

After another wave of sighs from the 'natives' about his appearance, Qi Mu and a few others were chased out of the store to wait for the search to end.

[What should we do now?]

A superpower user who had 'heard' the whole truth.

Due to his confidence in his modus operandi and the 'justice' of his actions, it's obviously harder for the murderer to confess than the robber from this afternoon.]

Qi Mu's previous failure had obviously traumatized him from playing the role of an 'angel.'

The police in the store also seemed to be certain that this was a suicide or an accident.

[Should we continue to remind that 'Officer Takagi'? Isn't it too obvious?]

Qi Mu began to consider whether it was more appropriate to change to 'police' or 'detective' this time.

[Detective, Maori, it's inexplicably familiar … hmm?]

Qi Mu, who had yet to make a decision, was attracted by the 'unnatural' thoughts of the 'primary school student.'

Then, he watched as he innocently asked childish questions on the surface, but in fact, he was gradually coming into contact with the truth.

[A superpower user?

Or the troublesome genius child No. 3?]

No. 1 — the crazy scientist brother. No. 2 — the perceptive chatterbox classmate.

Then, the sleeping Kogoro appeared.

Qi Mu looked at the 'primary school student' in amazement.

[How did he do it?]

That way, no one would notice anything unusual about him.

When he saw Conan using the bearded uncle's voice to call himself a "bespectacled brat who watched too many mystery dramas", Qi Mu was in awe. [What incredible acting skills and shamelessness!]

It was worth learning from!

After the whole incident, Qi Mu remembered the appearance of this' smart and strange child who was good at hiding himself '.

If there was a chance, he would observe him like how he observed Hiroshi Sato.

Qi Shen continued to explore the map.

Qi Mu's exploration of foreign countries was even more simple. He flew under the cover of the night and immediately went to the next location after three minutes.

He didn't go deep, nor did he have the mood to look at the scenery. He just repeated it mechanically.

It was very boring, but thanks to his' troubled 'life,' patience 'was one of the things he didn't lack the least.

Qi Mu didn't have enough control over his own abilities.

He only relied on the 'antenna' and didn't practice self-control. This seemed very negative, but it was really a helpless move.

He was a super bug, an existence that could destroy the earth in minutes. He didn't have enough time to suppress superpowers that had many types, strong, and rapid growth. How could he have the conditions to practice?

(There will be, Qi Shen ~)

Of course, coupled with the influence of his "heartless" optimistic parents, he also accepted such a dull life of "occasional disasters."

But it wasn't easy to maintain such 'no pursuit'.

Whether it was to ensure his daily life or to solve the problems caused by his abilities, it was inevitable that he would have to practice and try a lot. For example, in order to control his strength, he had to throw the ball 300 times a day; in order to safely jump out of the 'time loop', he had to repeat the operation continuously for 28 hours, and so on.

Qi Mu planned to explore about 200 locations around the world. Three minutes per location was only 10 hours. This wouldn't annoy him at all, but the physical consumption was huge.

In the middle of the night in Country R, less than 12 hours after he woke up, the teenager, who had been using his superpowers non-stop (and even flew around the sky), was so tired that he couldn't continue.

Qi Mu was so tired that he didn't want to look for food anymore. He also forgot about his previous plan to buy a clock. He directly teleported back to the Vast Expanse Of Whiteness and flew in. He didn't even bother to change his clothes. He just used Backtrack to make it clean. After that, he fell on the bed, and the album in his hand fell to the ground.

The second before he lost consciousness, Qi Mu remembered that he might sleep for a long time without an alarm clock. But he didn't have to go to school in the 'other world.' It would be better if he transmigrated back when he woke up. It didn't matter if he was late. So, he let himself fall into a deep sleep.

— — — ZZZ ~ — — —

After an unknown period of time, Qi Mu woke up in silence.

For a moment, he was very confused and didn't know where he was.

The exhaustion from before, the paused clock, and the still unfamiliar 'silence.' [It feels like I've slept for a century.]

[It's already dawn outside.]

Qi Mu walked to the window and tried to restore the window frame while 'turning transparent' — to no avail.

[Well, it seems that it hasn't been more than 12 hours.]? _?

Then, he stretched his head out and looked outside.

· _ ·

It was still the middle of the night.

[Could it be that I've slept for an entire day and night?!]

Qi Mu checked carefully. [Ah, the date hasn't changed either.]

He went back to his room and waited for a moment before looking outside again.

Sure enough, at the moment when he came back and went out again, the number on the electronic screen in the distance didn't even change for a second.

It seemed that time had stopped in the 'other world' in his room.

[I was too careless. I didn't realize it before.]

Qi Mu looked at the clock in the room, which had stopped at 7: 30. [I should have thought of it earlier.]

Time had probably stopped for everything in the room except for him.

Of course, this was beneficial to him — it was very likely that time wouldn't change when he returned home.

Since he didn't have to worry about the butterfly flying over, he also didn't have to worry about himself becoming Urashima Taro.

As for the bad side, Qi Mu looked at the broken door and broken window frame. [It seems that I can only restore them when I return.]

Time wouldn't pass, and the cooldown on them would never end.

[I'll have to wait another 24 hours after I return.]

[No, wait!]

If time had stopped from the moment he "transmigrated" and the whole room became a "different world," then whether it was when he used "Backtrack" to try to return home, or when he smashed the door and broke the window frame, all of these actually happened in that second!

In this way, even if time returned to normal after he returned, as long as the effect of "Backtrack" was not greater than the cooldown, he would never be able to restore the door and window again.

○_○

Well, let's not care about these details for now.

[This sounds a little familiar, Qi Shen.]
