To Arrange Without Care

Chapter 13

When the bathroom door was slammed open by Doctor Agasa, both the people inside and outside were shocked.

Gamma Ceti awkwardly jumped down from the ceiling, still holding two snow-white ceiling tiles in her hands. She had just used a toothbrush to pry open the tiles. Don't ask how she did it. She looked at the old man in the strange, bloated protective suit and the tea-haired little girl standing behind him with the same strange expression on her face.

"What are you wearing?" Gamma Ceti asked the old man.

"Oh, this."

Doctor Agasa looked down at the thick protective suit on his body. "I invented it. It's a protective suit specially used to catch ghosts."

The naughty kid asked, "How's the effect of catching ghosts?"

"Erm, today is the first time I've used it."

The doctor answered sheepishly. Ai Kashihara, who was hiding behind him, could not help but feel heartache for the research funds that were inexplicably wasted.

"Ah, I see."

Gamma Ceti nodded. Suddenly, she realized something. "Wait a minute, the 'ghost' you want to catch can't be me, right?"

"It's you." The girl's voice faintly came from behind the doctor.

Gamma Ceti said innocently, "You've got it wrong. I'm not a ghost!

I'm a human! "

"Ghosts generally don't think that they're dead."

Doctor Agasa kindly reminded her. Then, he was shocked by the naughty kid's stare. He quickly explained, "Actually, I came to this conclusion after watching a horror movie."

Gamma Ceti was speechless.

"So I've become a ghost?

Can I fly?

Can I walk through walls?

Can I see through things?

How am I going to eat?

Rely on candles?

Can you hurry up and burn some paper money for me to use? "

Gamma Ceti excitedly guessed. However, the two scientists in front of her were surprised that this ghost seemed to be a little too optimistic.

After a long time, after clearing up the misunderstanding, Doctor Agasa finally took off the burdensome protective suit and revealed his original amiable face.

After he found out that Gamma Ceti hadn't eaten anything yet, he brought some bread and warm milk to feed the little girl.

"This is the night snack that Xiao Ai and I put in the fridge. Eat some first," the doctor said good-naturedly. "We'll have a good meal later."

"Thank you so much!"

Gamma Ceti didn't stand on ceremony. After washing her hands, she picked up the bread and began to gnaw on it like a happy hamster that had been given free melon seeds.

Ai Kashihara sat opposite her on the sofa and looked at her. After realizing that this person was not a ghost but a visitor from another world, she seemed to have calmed down and was not flustered at all … But visitors from another world were obviously rarer than ghosts, right?

"Eat slowly. Don't choke." Her tone was cold, but the meaning behind her words was not cold at all.

Gamma Ceti suddenly thought of Mr. Aizawa, who also had a lazy and indifferent attitude towards many things. Speaking of which, she hadn't bothered him for a long time …

Gamma Ceti's cheeks were stuffed with bread and she couldn't speak. She could only nod to show that she understood.

Doctor Agasa also sat opposite her and crossed his fingers. "In other words, you accidentally came to our world when you were a child?"

"Yes, yes. I was just using the toilet before I came here. Because I took a shower …" Gamma Ceti tried to swallow the food. "But I've already figured out how to go back. I shouldn't cause too much trouble for you."

"Hahaha, it's no trouble at all!"

Doctor Agasa laughed and was very cheerful. "Anyway, I'm used to taking care of children. First, there was Conan, then there was Xiao Ai, and now there's the children of the Juvenile Detective Group who come to me whenever they have nothing to do … It's not a big deal to have you."

Gamma Ceti smiled gratefully. "Thank you for your kindness, but I can only stay here for two days at most before I have to go back. And I don't know the difference in the flow of time between our worlds because I still have to go to school on Monday."

Ah Li & Xiao Ai: Eh?

"Why do you look so surprised?"

The naughty kid also asked with a stunned expression. "Don't I look like a good student who misses school?"

Doctor Agasa: "You don't look like one."

Xiao Ai: "At least I haven't seen a good student who can pry open the ceiling with a toothbrush handle."

So Gamma Ceti laughed awkwardly … These two scientists had such good chemistry. Why didn't they debut as crosstalks?

Just then, the doorbell outside the door rang.

Doctor Agasa got up to open the door. As he walked, he said to them, "It should be Conan."

The boy named Conan was a little boy wearing casual clothes and a pair of big glasses on the bridge of his nose. However, his eyes, which were lost in thought from time to time, showed that this child was not an ordinary person.

"Hey, is this Xiao Ai's guest?"

Conan, who followed the doctor into the living room, noticed Gamma Ceti sitting on the sofa and asked casually.

Gamma Ceti greeted him politely. "Ah, hello, I'm a guest from another world."

Conan Edogawa:???

Who is this guy trying to destroy my belief in scientific materialism?!

After another round of explanation, Conan still stubbornly refused to believe this statement. He said that he was not as easy to talk to as Doctor Agasa and Xiao Ai. If Gamma Ceti did not give him a clear explanation, he would consider calling the police.

"Hey hey, Conan, that's too much of an exaggeration …" The Doctor whispered to the stubborn boy.

However, Conan winked at him. "Don't worry, I'm not really going to call the police. I'm just testing her background."

Sure enough, Gamma Ceti looked troubled. She asked Ai Kashihara, "How can I prove this kind of thing?

Open a space-time portal on the spot and go back?

Then I don't have to prove it at all. "

On the other hand, Aichi Hara Ai watched the show calmly and reminded him: "You just need to show us something that doesn't belong to our world."

Gamma Ceti suddenly realized that the onlooker had a clearer view!

"Since you don't want to believe me, then I'll have to show you something special."

Gamma Ceti looked at Conan. For some reason, Conan felt that her eyes were like the eyes of a restless beast. Although there was no malice, there was more than displeasure.

"Next, I'll take your glasses before you can react and walk to the staircase over there.

All these actions will be completed within a second. "Gamma Ceti" kindly "explained.

"Then you can try."

Conan Edogawa replied. At the same time, he curled his lips in his heart. Based on his nearly twenty years of scientific study and detective reasoning, the staircase was at least ten meters away from his position. How could she get up from the sofa in a second, take his glasses, and run to the staircase?

It's impossible!

However, the next moment, Gamma Ceti, who was sitting on the sofa, disappeared. At the same time, Conan only felt a gust of wind blow past his face. He couldn't help but tilt his head back. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his glasses had indeed been taken away!

"Do you have anything else to say?

Conan -kun? "

Gamma Ceti sat at the staircase and looked at them with a smile. Then, she tried to put on the pair of glasses. She suddenly had doubts in her heart. Plain glasses with no degrees?

This thing is so heavy. Since he doesn't have myopia, why did Conan insist on wearing it?

Is it to look good?

In fact, it wasn't just Conan. Even the other two looked at the girl with a relaxed expression in disbelief. Everyone looked as if their worldview had been shattered.

So, so there really are visitors from another world in this world!

After a moment, Conan walked up to her and looked at Gamma Ceti, who was sitting on the steps, with an apologetic expression. "It seems that you're not lying. Sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."

"It's okay. I understand how you feel."

Gamma Ceti shrugged and returned the glasses to him. "After all, anyone would be nervous if an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in their bathroom."

"Erm, I'd like to disturb you."

Dr. Agasa raised his hand to speak. "Don't the three of you feel that … your brainwaves are matching?"

"Matching brainwaves?" Xiao Ai was puzzled.

"No, no. What I mean is … the logical thinking and verbal skills of the three of you are not like your peers," Dr. Agasa complained.

For a moment, the three children who looked like children on the outside but had extraordinary hearts fell into a strange silence.

Finally, Conan looked at her. "Shi Chan, could it be that you …"

"Actually, I …" Gamma Ceti tried to guess. "Could it be that the three of you are also …"

Xiao Ai suddenly became excited. She lay on the back of the sofa and looked in their direction. Her originally calm eyes immediately became excited. "Could it be that you're not on the list …"

"The user of APTEX4869?!"

"Died once?!"

The two completely different answers left everyone speechless. Everyone looked at each other. Gamma Ceti had no idea what the string of numbers they were talking about was, while Conan was shocked by her previous statement of "died once."

She even dared to admit that she was a visitor from another world. She shouldn't be lying about her life and death, right?

In other words, this guy had really died once!

Shi Shunyi glanced at the awkward situation where the awkward conversation had failed and quickly took the initiative to speak. He reached out and shook hands with the other party. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Shi Shunyi. I used to be a … professional hunter. I specialize in killing ancient beasts and their descendants that want to destroy the world.

The last time I died, I was 25 years old. This time, I'm only five years old. "

"Oh, I see."

Conan Edogawa shook her hand in realization. "We thought you had taken the medicine like us … Before I took the medicine, I was 17 years old. Now I'm seven years old."

Gamma Ceti turned her gaze to the tea-haired girl lying on the sofa and asked, "What about her?"

"Xiao Ai is about the same." Conan's tone was a little complicated. "She's the inventor of the medicine."

"… So the two of you agreed to take the medicine?" Gamma Ceti was shocked. "Why are you so stubborn?!

Even if you want to elope, you don't have to go back to being a teenager! "

"No, no, you misunderstood. Actually, it's a complicated matter. The two of us took the medicine by coincidence …" Conan hurriedly explained. Later, Xiao Ai told her that Conan was so depressed because he had a childhood sweetheart before he returned to his childhood.

The rich's circle was really messy.

However, Gamma Ceti was in no position to complain about the complicated interpersonal relationships. After all, as the daughter of a hairdresser in her previous life, she didn't even know who her biological father was.

In this life, as an orphan, she didn't even know who her biological parents were.

All in all, after the misunderstanding was resolved, Gamma Ceti said that she was ready to go home.

But before she left, she looked at the scientific research equipment in the room and the props she saw in the basement. Suddenly, a bold idea came to her mind.

"May I ask if the owner of this house is Dr. Agasa?"

"Yes, that's me."

The doctor nodded with a smile and reached out to touch Xiao Ai's head. Unexpectedly, the latter dodged to the side. "Xiao Ai is the child of a distant relative who lives here."

"Then I'd like to discuss a collaboration with you."
