Organization call?

Qin Zhibo looked around, walked to the corner of the Metropolitan Police Department parking lot, and then picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

On the other side of the phone came Gin's cold questioning voice.

"There was someone nearby just now who found a quiet place." Qin Zhibo's tone was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Hmph -" Gin snorted coldly and said, "Tomorrow at 11 o'clock in the evening, in the alley east of the Ginza store near Kanbashi Station."

"knew."

Dududu——

As soon as Qin Zhibo agreed, Ginjiu's phone number was immediately hung up, as if he was afraid of being traced back to the address where he called.

Not explaining the task content on the phone, and using the most concise language, is also Gin's consistent style.

Qin Zhibo silently turned on the navigation device in his mind and looked for the place Ginjiu mentioned.

On the large electronic map, Kanbashi Station is also located in Tokyo, just along the Toto Subway, four stops away from Mihua Station.

However, on the electronic map, the place name text of Xianqiao Station is displayed in a semi-transparent state.

This shows that the public place is under construction and may not be accessible to normal traffic.

Station under construction?

Gin isn't planning a terrorist attack, is he?

In Qin Zhibo's impression, many international terrorist organizations like to bomb sites under construction, which can spread terrorism without angering the country concerned.

However, if you think about it carefully, this is not consistent with the low-key style of the black organization.

The goal pursued by the black organization seems to be an older, more primitive form of terror.

Gunma County, deep in the mountains.

A yellow Beetle covered in silver drove tremblingly on the mountain road.

Dr. A Li and Conan, an old man and a young man, were sitting in the main and passenger seats, with worried expressions on their faces.

In order for this "transaction" to proceed smoothly, the first thing to ensure is that the other party does not know about the murder of Taku Itakura.

Otherwise, as long as the other party knows the news of Itakura Taku's murder, he will not be stupid enough to make a deal with a "ghost".

Fortunately, Itakura Taku's case occurred in the evening. According to the Metropolitan Police Department's habit, this information will not be announced until at least tomorrow morning's news.

But just in case, Conan still hung a portable radio on his ear and listened to the radio at all times.

The most popular real-time news broadcast right now is about a gem thief who robbed a jewelry store and is currently on the run in Gunma Prefecture.

Gem thief?

The first time he heard this word, Conan's eyes changed and he thought it was his old rival again - Kaitou Kidd.

But when he heard that the other party was two people, he was instantly deflated like a ball shooting out of a football belt.

An ordinary gem thief cannot arouse much interest in Conan.

Moreover, now is a critical moment in the confrontation with the suspected black organization. Although the jewel thief is escaping in Gunma Prefecture, there is no need to be a vigilante at this time.

Conan crossed his arms and discussed with a serious face.

"Actually, what I care about most is the last sentence in the diary. We can not only be God, but also devils, because we want to reverse the flow of time and resurrect the dead."

"Doctor, are you talking about the medicine made by Haiyuan?"

When Dr. A Li heard this, he looked slightly sideways as he never believed in pseudoscience and said in denial: "How is this possible? You are not zombies."

Conan: "."

In fact, Conan was reminded of the Drug A developed by Haihara Ai when he was serving the organization, because Haibara Ai once said something similar.

Not long after Haiyuan abandoned his secret and turned to the bright side, a football stadium hijacking incident occurred.

In that incident, Haibara Ai once meaningfully said, "There is no way for people to defy the flow of time. If you insist on distorting time, you will definitely be punished."

What does it mean to defy the flow of time?

What kind of punishment was received?

The old riddler Haihara Ai didn’t say anything about the above.

In fact, not only that, Haibara Ai did not reveal many secrets about the black organization, which made Conan, who was eager to grow bigger, both anxious and helpless.

Sometimes, Conan really wants to shout loudly.

Riddler, get out of the rice krispies!

But if you carefully recall the words of Haihara Ai and the woman, you can also feel that there is a difference between the two words.

According to the mysterious woman who talked to Itakura Taku, the most important thing is the last "resurrection of the dead."

Taken literally, what women and the forces behind them want to accomplish seems to be a taboo recognized by scientists around the world.

The dead cannot be resurrected.

Just like continuous linear time is irreversible.

But what if we think differently?

Conan suddenly thought of another English meaning that Qin Zhibo blurted out in the hotel room - the resurrection of the long sleeper.

If it is impossible to resurrect the dead, then it is more reliable to resuscitate the sleeping people.

Conan remembered that he had read in a science magazine that an American scholar named "Robert Eddinger" had put forward a crazy hypothesis.

If the human body is sealed in a container filled with liquid nitrogen and frozen, then when technology develops in the future, it is very possible to resurrect the frozen person.

Robert Ettinger not only proposed such a hypothesis, but also established an institution and began to accept commissions for freezing human bodies.

However, because no one can be sure how technology will develop in the future, this organization is currently only focusing on "freezing" and not "resurrecting".

Regarding this technology, academic circles have also conducted extensive discussions on it, with both approval and opposition.

A Russian company believes that the brain functions like a computer hard drive, and its contents can be frozen and stored.

In the future, scientists can read data from frozen brains, connect them and implant them into new carriers, which can be human bodies or computers.

Thinking about it this way, there seems to be a perfect connection between the woman's words about "resurrection of the dead" and the software developed by Taku Itakura that she wants to obtain.

Imagine if this technology were really realized, it would be a very great technology.

Humanity's obsession with immortality can be traced back to the period of Qin Shihuang in ancient China.

At that time, Xu Fu traveled eastward to what is now the Sea of ​​Japan to seek elixirs from overseas for immortality. He took the route of medical immortality.

For a long period of time after that, longevity was basically based on the drug route, until the development of modern surgical procedures, some other routes were added.

For example, in the early 19th century, there was a medical student at an American university who conducted research on the "drugs + surgery" method of resurrecting the dead, which caused extremely bad social impact at the time.

Later, the medical student disappeared inexplicably. Some people said that he died in an experimental accident.

And his experience was made into a B-level horror film and put on the big screen decades later.

However, it is said that more than 20 years ago, a couple of scientists resumed the research of the medical student decades ago, and were exposed as a result.

In the current situation of formalization in the scientific world, this approach is naturally deviant and unethical.

The couple was expelled from the scientific community and their names were not even retained.

But one of the couple is Japanese.

——The above were all accidentally seen by Conan in a science magazine that was more interested in science.

Interesting content is mainly to attract readers and may be less rigorous.

For example, in the couple who were expelled from the scientific community mentioned at the end, why did one of them have to be Japanese?

Why not Americans, Germans?

How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Conan believes that the real situation is that the magazine editor believes that adding a Japanese character at the end will increase the sense of involvement for domestic readers.

After reading this, readers will exclaim "That's it" and "We Japanese are really awesome!"

But right now, these interesting contents have given Conan a lot to think about.

As women say, they are both God and devil, and the application of resurrection is also a double-edged sword.

The reason why human society can maintain a basic balance depends on the alternation of birth, old age, illness and death, achieving the purpose of continuous shuffling and elimination.

Once this balancing mechanism is eliminated, the high-pressure society depicted in many science fiction novels is likely to form.

The more wealth you accumulate, the more it will never flow to other people again.

Bad people can always exist as long as they have wealth.

The resurrection of the dead is indeed a technology that can act as both God and devil.
