A sense of absurdity and strangeness continuously spread in the hearts of the two after seeing the meaning represented by this passage.
Even though Senichi had known this content for a long time, but after seeing them appear before his eyes, a sense of absurdity still sprouted and spread from the depths of his heart.
In some fantasy novels, people believe it when someone from an antagonist organization says such things.
But if this sentence were spoken in reality, people's first reaction would probably be that it's a bit "chunibyo".
However, the reason "chunibyo" is "eighth-grader syndrome" is because it's just a fantasy of youth.
Everyone knows it's not real, so they feel embarrassed and find it funny.
But what if one day, these "chunibyo" statements turned into reality?
Moreover, there is a massive organization with this as its goal and they are carrying out plans in the dark corners of the world.
And maybe there's someone who survived an attempted persecution right next to you...
At that moment, would you feel that the world is somewhat... hard to understand?
After all, the reason why fantasy is fantasy is that it can't truly be realized.
And when the strong evidence of reality from the Black Organization intertwines with its fantasy-like goals, a strong sense of dissonance arises.
And after this dissonance, what follows is an unspeakable terror.
The two snapped out of this absurdity, not by their own initiative, but due to the loud noise of the door opening when Akemi Miyano burst in from the side.
At this moment, Akemi Miyano was holding the portrait of Shuichi Akai that Senichi had previously sketched. She looked at Senichi with a face full of suspicion and uncertainty as she asked, "He... I, I heard from Shiho... You met him today?"
"Yes, I did," Senichi nodded.
"Sis, what's going on!" Haibara couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with this man..."
Just now, Akemi Miyano walked out of the kitchen while she was contemplating the portrait Senichi had drawn. When Akemi saw the portrait, she froze in place, and her facial expression began to change constantly.
Realizing that her sister's expression was a bit off, Haibara called out to her repeatedly to snap her out of her daze.
But soon, Akemi Miyano became impatient and started urgently asking where this painting came from and whether Senichi had seen this man.
Haibara truthfully answered the question due to her sister's anxious expression although she was unaware of why her sister asked in this manner. She told her that Senichi had drawn this portrait, and he happened to encounter this person today.
Thus, the scene of Akemi Miyano losing composure and barging in directly unfolded.
Conan, on the side, became somewhat surprised because Akemi Miyano actually knew this man and she seemed so panicked...
"Miss Akemi, do you happen to know this man?" Conan couldn't help but ask, "Is he a member of the Black Organization?"
"Yes... his name is Dai Moroboshi.." Akemi Miyano lowered her head and looked at the portrait. Her fingers gently traced the man's face on the image, and a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes.
"He was my boyfriend during my time in the organization."
"!!!!!!"
"What!!!"
Haibara and Conan simultaneously exclaimed after hearing Akemi Miyano's words, and for an instant, shadows visibly covered their eyes.
"He's a member of the Black Organization?" x2
"He was my sister's ex-boyfriend? Is he here to find my sister!?"
"He already knew Ran so early!?"
In an instant, the hearts of the young boy and the little girl were filled with alarm and vigilance towards this man.
"So, is he here to hunt you?" Senichi deliberately asked.
"Ah, no!"
Akemi Miyano woke up upon hearing Senichi's words. She looked at her vigilant sister and Conan and said while smiling, "Don't worry, it's not what you think. Although he's a member of the organization, he's actually a good person because he's an undercover agent sent by the FBI."
"Undercover agent!?"
These words stunned the two, and Conan couldn't help but speak, "If Miss Akemi says so, then perhaps we can trust his identity. When Ran and I went to New York together, she saw him working alongside people with 'FBI' written on their clothes."
"Is that so... he came to Japan, huh..." Akemi Miyano showed a faint smile and tears started falling uncontrollably from her eyes, and she said, "Is he here to find me..."
"Wait a moment..."
Upon hearing Akemi Miyano's words, Conan couldn't help but pause. Then, he turned to Senichi with disbelief and said, "I remember when he saw Ran crying, he mentioned that it reminded him of a woman..."
"Ah... perhaps he was talking about Miss Akemi." Senichi nodded, affirming Conan's thought.
At this point, Conan also breathed a sigh of relief. The information obtained from Akemi Miyano seemed reliable.
So, the person wasn't an enemy but an ally.
Thinking about this, Conan's expression couldn't help but become excited. After all, the other person was an FBI undercover agent sent into the organization. What kind of gains did he achieve during his undercover mission?
Not to mention anything else, just having information about the composition of the Black Organization's members and details about each person was an unparalleled temptation for Conan now.
"What did Dai-kun say?" Akemi Miyano couldn't help but ask upon hearing their conversation.
Senichi, seeing Akemi Miyano's inquisitive gaze, smiled and recounted what happened after he encountered Shuichi Akai.
"Is he a fool..." Akemi Miyano couldn't help but say with a playful laugh through her tears after hearing the conversation between the two. "So, this is how he sees me in his heart... So his real name is Shuichi Akai... Shuichi-kun, such a nice name..."
"!!!"
Seeing her sister's reaction, Haibara's inner sense of alertness surged. She felt that the inexplicable bad premonition from before was coming true!
At this moment, a big "danger" was written on his forehead making Haibara develop a hostile attitude towards this man she had only seen a few times.
This man called Shuichi Akai would indeed take away her most precious possession!!
Her sister was going to be taken away by him!!
Regarding this, Haibara said that she would not allow this marriage!
When her sister was almost killed before, he didn't lend a hand. If it weren't for Detective Senichi saving her and ensuring her safety, her sister might have been killed by that guy Gin by now.
Now, this annoying man shamelessly came looking for her sister!!
Like a little girl who is about to be robbed of her most cherished possession, Haibara's inner childlike mentality flared up.
But just as her brain began to crazily contemplate how to stop this, she saw Akemi Miyano's radiant smile, and she felt that she might "die before completing the founding work."
