It was afternoon.
Yang Tao followed Conan towards Dr. Agasa's house.
"Conan, have You thought about it? Do You want to tell Ran your identity or not?"
Conan looked at Yang Tao and asked, "Why do I feel like You're very invested in this?"
'Because I want to see a small horse pull a big cart!'
But he didn't say that aloud; even for a High school student like Conan, such knowledge was beyond his reach.
Yang Tao could only pretend to be indifferent and say, "I just feel that Ran is a bit pitiful. Maybe she thinks about You so much every night that she can't sleep, worrying if You're out there indulging in lavish pleasures, debauchery, and surrounded by wives and concubines…"
Upon hearing Yang Tao's words, Conan stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Hey, I'm not that kind of person!"
"Hehe, that's because You haven't met Haibara Ai yet. After all, childhood friends can't compare to a fated encounter…"
"Haibara Ai? Who is that?"
Although Yang Tao seemed unreliable, the various pieces of information he revealed were very important.
"Haibara Ai… she's a very pretty little girl, and she'll become your classmate later."
"Just a classmate?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
As they spoke, the two arrived at Dr. Agasa's doorstep. Conan stepped forward and rang the doorbell. Soon, the door was opened from inside.
"Conan, why are You here?"
Dr. Agasa's appearance was somewhat different from his animated counterpart, but one could vaguely discern his two-dimensional image.
Not a single hair remained on his head, shining like a mirror in the sun, and his two gray mustaches were very charming.
While he was observing Dr. Agasa, Dr. Agasa was also observing him.
"And this is?"
Conan didn't lie or conceal anything this time, as Dr. Agasa was his most trusted person.
"Yang Tao, a person with magical abilities. I suspect he's not from this world at all."
Dr. Agasa immediately squatted down, reached out, and touched Conan's forehead, saying, "You don't have a fever, so why are You talking nonsense all of a sudden?"
"Come on, I'll take You to the hospital."
Conan said helplessly, "Doctor, everything I said is true. If You don't believe me, You can ask him."
Yang Tao stepped forward, extended his hand, and said, "Dr. Agasa, I've heard so much about You. I haven't had a chance to come over before. What Conan said is also true; strictly speaking, I really don't belong to this world."
Dr. Agasa hesitantly extended his hand and shook Yang Tao's, saying, "Let's go inside first."
Yang Tao and Conan followed Dr. Agasa into the living room.
"You two sit down first; I'll pour You some tea."
"Thank You!"
Dr. Agasa's living room was not large and had a very lived-in feel. Yang Tao sat on the leather sofa, observing his surroundings, seeing no hint of a black technology mogul's home.
Soon, Dr. Agasa brought two cups of tea and placed them on the table, then sat beside them and asked, "What do You mean by 'not from this world,' as You told Conan?"
"It's purely the literal meaning."
If one were to ask who was the most unscientific person in the Detective Conan World, Yang Tao would definitely choose Dr. Agasa, who was sitting in front of him.
Things like the voice-changing bow tie, tracking glasses, and wristwatch tranquilizer gun could still be explained by science.
But what in the world was the Power-Assisting Kick Shoes?
According to the official explanation for these shoes: 'They stimulate acupoints through electricity and magnetism, pushing muscle strength to its limit.'
Leaving aside the fact that Conan is always full of energy after using them, what's with kicking a satellite to pieces with a soccer ball?
Could it be that people in the Detective Conan World get stronger the younger they are?
Adults < High school student < Elementary school students?
"Dr. Agasa, besides meeting You this time, there's one more thing I need your help with researching."
With that, Yang Tao took the Smile skin from his backpack. Although the invisibility of the skin would become less effective over time, this piece of skin could still be properly researched because it was kept in the backpack.
Dr. Agasa's eyes nearly popped out when he saw the transparent object Yang Tao placed on the table. He cautiously began to examine it, muttering incessantly, "Oh my goodness, what is this thing? It's simply incredible. Invisibility! It can definitely achieve true invisibility."
"Dr. Agasa, I think You'll really enjoy researching this. Would You mind helping me analyze this thing carefully?"
Dr. Agasa nodded and said, "Of course, no problem. But can You tell me where You got this thing from?"
Yang Tao smiled and said, "This is the skin of a Smile. When it was alive, everything except its teeth and eyes was completely transparent; not even a faint outline could be seen. After its death, the skin's invisibility effect became progressively worse."
After Yang Tao briefly explained the characteristics and behavior of the Smile, Dr. Agasa and Conan were both stunned.
"Are there such creatures in the world?"
"It's not even certain if these things are creatures… That's where I'll need your help with the research, Dr. Agasa."
"Ah, alright, I'll figure it out."
"Oh, and Dr. Agasa, could You help me create a set of survival gear? I can provide some materials for your research."
Yang Tao planned to give Eric a set of equipment, at least to ensure he wouldn't be directly killed while recording various information, as finding a new Scribe in the Backrooms was not an easy task.
"Of course!"
For Dr. Agasa, such a thing was merely a trivial matter.
Seeing this, Yang Tao took out a white glowing Smile tooth from his backpack and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the Smile's tooth. Consider it a gift from me, Doctor."
The moment Dr. Agasa saw the tooth, he immediately turned and ran, returning shortly with a jar and pliers. He carefully picked up the tooth and placed it inside the jar.
"Phew… Items that glow on their own generally have radiation. Although I don't know if this thing is the same, it's better to be cautious."
Yang Tao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then wished he could slap himself. He had forgotten such basic middle school knowledge.
Radiation is the release of substance energy. Luminous objects all have radiation; it's just that some will harm the human body and some won't.
"I'm truly sorry, Dr. Agasa, I was careless. But don't worry, the radiation from this tooth won't harm the human body in a short period of time."
If it caused damage in a short time, he himself would lose health.
Dr. Agasa had no complaints about this; however, his mind was buzzing with the desire to research these two items. Yang Tao naturally saw his thoughts and directly spent 15 energy points to exchange for a One-Time Door Key.
The purpose of the One-Time Door Key was to open the wooden door for teleportation. Its usage was simple: the user only needed to hold the key and think of opening the door.
"Dr. Agasa, if there's any emergency, You can take this One-Time Door Key and think of opening the door to find me. I won't bother You any further for now. Goodbye."
After speaking, Yang Tao got up to leave. Conan, seeing this, quickly followed him.
