Chapter 537: Will Conan explode?

Conan squinted, watching Haibara Ai leave the experimental serum casually on the table.

Then Haibara Ai took the children on a tour of the lab.

The little girl walked in front, pointing at the surrounding equipment and giving simple introductions, drawing gasps of surprise from the little brats.

Not long after, she led the kids to a lab bench. Genta and Mitsuhiko looked at it curiously and asked, "Haibara, what is this for?"

"This is for biological observation and experiments." She pointed to the surrounding instruments and equipment.

"These instruments can monitor the various bodily data of the organisms on the bench, and determine if the organism's body is suitable for the serum."

Hearing Haibara Ai's words, Conan's eyes lit up.

He deliberately said with an excited expression, "Eh? This is really interesting, can I try it?"

"Alright." Haibara Ai nodded.

She had already attached a bunch of sensor patches to Conan's head and body.

Then the screen in front of them turned on, and all sorts of messy data began to appear.

As soon as the data appeared on the monitor, not only the little kids, but even Conan was stunned.

He had never seen this kind of scene before either.

Haibara Ai looked at the data on the screen for a moment, then took out some equipment and introduced:

"This is for collecting skin flakes."

"This is for collecting hair."

"This is for collecting bodily fluids."

As Haibara Ai spoke, she began the collection work on Conan's body.

Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko were curious at first, but as time went on, the expressions on their faces became increasingly fearful, and they couldn't help but step back.

As for Conan on the lab bench, he was curious at first, but then he started to feel secretly afraid in his heart.

*Damn it! * This experience...

Why does it feel like I'm no different from a lab mouse?

He was feeling uneasy when he heard Haibara Ai muttering to herself:

"Huh, how strange. Your data is exactly the same as that lab mouse from earlier..."

"Really? Then if I use that serum, can I become an adult too?" Conan asked quickly.

"Eh? That should be impossible."

Haibara Ai shook her head, "Only people who have taken APTX-4869 can possibly return to their original state. You are a real child, how could you possibly grow bigger?"

"Haha, that's right, what a pity. I really wish I could grow up immediately."

Conan pretended to be childish and rubbed the back of his head, but a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

Leaving Haibara Ai's lab, Conan touched his pocket.

A vial of serum was hidden inside.

The serum was, of course, stolen from the lab—the same kind used for the lab mouse experiment.

Should he try it or not?

Conan was very hesitant.

Although the lab mouse experiment was a success.

But that was a lab mouse, after all.

It was completely different from using it on a human.

Returning home, Ran was muttering something in front of the mirror.

Seeing Conan, she said, "By the way, Conan. This Sunday afternoon, I'll be performing in a play at the school festival. I'll have Akaso-san bring you to the school to watch my play!"

"Eh? A play? What play?"

Conan leaned over to look; there was a script on the table.

The cover of the script had a few large characters: "Tepid Love."

Conan picked it up and flipped through it, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

This seems like a great opportunity to win Ran back.

It seems I must turn back into Shinichi.

At the same time, in Haibara Ai's lab, Akaso Kaze was holding the little girl on his lap, watching the video of the previous failed experiment.

In the video, a young lab mouse was squeaking and slowly swelling up like a balloon.

Then, suddenly, with a *bang*, the lab mouse exploded.

Flesh and blood splattered all over the lab bench.

Seeing such a bloody scene, Akaso Kaze couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

*Holy cow! *

This is too exaggerated.

These lab mice actually just exploded after taking the antidote?

Does it have to be this bloody!

By the way, what would happen if Conan took the antidote without the stabilizer?

He wouldn't just explode like that, would he?

Imagining the scene of Conan exploding, Akaso Kaze shook his head.

By the way, Conan has the protagonist's halo, how could he die so easily?

But whether there are other side effects, that's hard to say.

Hopefully not...
