Kamen Rider: I, Conan, am Faiz

Chapter 72 Falling short of success

Afterwards, the police called by Dr. Agasa finally arrived, and after preliminary investigation, the police came to a general conclusion.

The young man's name is Shirakura, and he is a former student of Professor Hirota. The reason he came today is because he wanted to get photos of his student days from Professor Hirota.

As a result, the two of them got into an argument for some reason, and then the enraged Shirakura beat Professor Hirota to death with the trophy, and then tried to escape through the window with all the floppy disks, but happened to run into Conan and his group who came to the door.

All we can say is that the law is strict and there is no loophole. Because of the previous collision, Shirakura has become a vegetative and unconscious, so there is no need to worry about leaking Faiz's information.

After Conan and the others took a brief statement from the police, they set off on their return journey with a large stack of floppy disks.

Dr. Ali's home

"Is it this disk?"

"No, try again."

Since there were enough disks to fill an entire box, Conan and Dr. Agasa could only keep sorting them out, while Ai sat in front of the computer, opened each disk, and checked whether it contained any information about the drug APTX4869.

Finally, when there was only one disk left, Ai finally found what she wanted!

"Found it! The detailed information of APTX4869 drug and the list of sponsors are all here!"

"Finally found!"

"Great! My old bones are almost falling apart."

Ignoring their numb hands, Conan and Dr. Agasa went to the computer and saw that as Ai continued to type on the keyboard, groups of data began to appear on the computer screen.

Conan frowned and asked, "Is this the data of the medicine?"

"Not only that, when I was organizing it, I heard that this was a very grand project. Almost all the world-renowned politicians and wealthy businessmen are more or less related to this project, but as for what the ultimate purpose is, I don't know."

Just as a series of complex data continued to appear on the computer screen, the screen suddenly began to flicker, and then the data that had appeared began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oh no! The anti-leakage program has been activated!"

Seeing the sudden change, Xiao Ai's face suddenly changed! Then he quickly tapped the keyboard to prevent the loss of data, but the next second the computer screen went black and crashed, and white smoke was coming out of the heat dissipation device at the back.

"This...what's going on?" Seeing white smoke suddenly coming out of his computer, Dr. Agasa was stunned.

Xiao Ai said with a gloomy face: "The anti-leakage program worked. In order to ensure that the data will not be accidentally leaked, the organization has installed an anti-leakage program for each data. Once logged in on a non-designated computer, the data will be destroyed along with the computer. Damn it! I was too careless..."

"boom!"

At the same moment that Ai finished her words, the computer that was originally smoking suddenly had a small explosion. Seeing this, Conan hurriedly pulled Ai behind him, and then picked up the fire extinguisher that Dr. Agasa bought on Double Eleven and sprayed it at the computer. Finally, it stopped the explosion, but the computer was basically completely useless.

"Xiao Qiang! What's wrong with you, Xiao Qiang!"

Seeing his computer suffer such a misfortune, Dr. Agasa, who was in his fifties, went up to the computer and cried like a five-year-old grandson.

"I've been with you through thick and thin for so many years. Even though I already had a laptop, I wouldn't trade it for you! I never thought that I'd get an old laptop as a gift to you! Wow!"

Seeing Dr. Agasa crying like a tearful man, Conan and Ai looked at each other, then turned around and left side by side tacitly. After all, Dr. Agasa needed to calm down himself, and it would be inappropriate for the two of them to stay here.

After leaving the living room, Xiao Ai whispered: "Please tell the doctor that I will compensate him for his computer. But I have no money now, so I guess..."

"Don't take it to heart. Dr. Agasa doesn't need this computer. Even though he's crying like that, he always cries like this whenever there's a problem with one of his inventions."

Conan explained with his hands behind his head, then looked at Ai with a complicated gaze. Recalling the other party's sad look of crying heartbreakingly, the only remaining vigilance and resentment in Conan's heart disappeared in an instant, replaced by a deep sense of guilt.

At this time, Xiao Ai also noticed the complex emotions in Conan's eyes, so she turned her head to the side and said, "Just pretend that what happened before never happened. After all, my sister's misfortune cannot be entirely blamed on you. It can only be said that this is all arranged by fate."

"follow me."

Conan grabbed Ai's wrist and ran towards the laboratory as fast as he could. Ai was startled by the other party's sudden action and was almost mechanically led away by the other party.

[Just like in a dream...]

Looking at Conan's back, Ai thought so in her heart.

Under the guidance of Conan, Ai arrived at the laboratory in a short while. When she saw Miyano Akemi lying on the experimental table, Ai's pupils suddenly shrank into needle shapes, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"This……"

"Your sister is still alive, at least from a medical point of view, but she can only be barely called alive." Looking at the values ​​displayed on the medical equipment that were far lower than those of ordinary people, Conan said in a complicated tone.

"elder sister!"

Ai could no longer control her excitement and rushed to Miyano Akemi as fast as she could. With tears in her eyes, she tightly grasped her sister's hand.

At the moment when the sisters held hands, Ai could clearly feel the temperature of Miyano Akemi's skin, and although her pulse was weak, it was indeed beating. All these proved that her biological sister Miyano Akemi was still alive.

"I think you did this."

Reaching out to wipe away the tears from her eyes, Xiao Ai pretended to be calm and turned to look at Conan.

"Being able to transform into Faiz means that you are either Orphino or at least have a high-purity Orphino factor in your body. But judging from my sister's current condition, you should be the former, right?"

"Yes, I am indeed Ophieno."

Conan did not hide anything and nodded to admit it very readily. He then continued, "You have been in the organization before. I think you should know more or less about Orphino, right? Can you please tell me everything?"

Xiao Ai glanced back at Miyano Akemi who was still in a coma, then said to Conan in a serious tone: "To be honest, I was involved in the Orphino project for a while, but then the project was suddenly terminated and all our researchers were transferred to other positions."

Conan asked hurriedly: "So what do you know?"

"I only know that Ophino is a human evolution to some extent, but this evolution is too much of a burden for humans, so the life span of a human who becomes Ophino is only twenty years at most, and it will be shortened as the number of transformations increases and the intensity of the battles increases."

Conan nodded slightly: "Dr. Agasa has already researched this, do you know any other information?"

Xiao Ai held her chin up in thought and said, "As for other things... I've only heard that Ophieno is divided into two categories: native and assimilated, and... Oh, right! How did you become Ophieno?"

Conan shook his head; "I don't know, I have no memory of this. The first time I turned into Ophio, I was also shocked."

Xiao Ai continued to ask: "After you became Ophion, did you have a second form? For example, a part of your body suddenly mutated and gained stronger power?"

"Second form..."

Conan thought about it carefully, and instantly recalled the battle with the mushroom Ophiino, so he quickly replied: "Yes, my legs turned into wolf's hind legs that time, and I obviously felt that my strength and speed were much stronger."

"Then it's not wrong if that's the case."

After getting Conan's answer, Ai nodded with a complicated expression, then crossed her arms and said jokingly, "I really don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky. You are a native Ophiino with a probability of less than one in a thousand to awaken on your own, but the prerequisite for this awakening is that you have experienced an unnatural death."
