Chapter 71

"Angelica! Angelica! Angelica!"

Who?

The sound is so loud... so noisy... but so familiar...?

Angelica's two beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and the solid darkness grabbed her, and she couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried.

"Angelica——!"

A sudden shout made Angelica finally remember the owner of the voice, and at the same time she opened her eyes suddenly.

"Jotaro?"

Angelica stepped on the soft grass of Morio Town Park. On the bench in front of her was a brand-new newspaper left by the defeated Angelo.

Kujo Jotaro stood on the opposite side of the bench, his expression as usual, and there was no trace of the nervousness and anxiety he had shouted just a few seconds ago.

When Angelica's eyes moved to his face, Jotaro Kujo lowered the brim of his hat habitually to avoid the excessively pure look.

"Wow——! So amazing——!"

Dongfang Jousuke rushed over and looked up and down with his big eyes. He looked carefully, but he couldn't figure out how the other party suddenly appeared, so he lowered his voice and sneaked closer and asked: "Um... is this your substitute ability?"

Invisibility?

Teleport?

Or control the air?

No matter which one it is, it feels super-GREAT!

"Mommy——!!!" Xu Lun, the little Kong Tiao, swooped down and hugged Angelica's thigh with open arms, "JOJO miss you so much!!!"

Damn dad...! snort……! Didn't you lie? Hum!

"What - is this your mommy with the super handsome UFO?! Isn't this too GREAT?!"

What the hell! Why are Mr. Jotaro and his family so handsome?

hateful! ! !

Dongfang Jousuke suddenly felt unwilling to be severely compared.

The gentle scent of the early spring breeze awakened Angelica's senses, and she finally realized: Am I back?

So easy?

So Easy?

...Again...so sloppy?

She had always wanted to leave before, always looking forward to returning to the normal world and life, but now looking at the familiar group of people in front of her, Angelica felt an unspeakable regret: Although it was a very good world, But... I haven't had time to say goodbye yet.

Follow my little Xu Lun.

With those overly lively and cute guests.

.

"Angelica? Angelica?"

Then she thought of her companions who had no time to say goodbye, but Angelica heard the voice from the other side.

Turning my head, I couldn't see the world, but the anxious voice didn't seem to be fake.

what happened?

Angelica felt like she was confused.

"Gah——!!!"

The crow's rough cry sounded, and Angelica saw the faint blue hourglass, emitting a faint shimmer.

The brand-new badge has been completely integrated with the hourglass, but the difference between the old and the new makes it impossible to tell: has it changed? Or has it always been like this?

Just as Angelica was thinking, the hourglass shone brightly, and all the sand in it disappeared, replaced by blue floating like air. It has no shape or any entity. It seems to be just a feeling, an illusion that humans have when they are half asleep and half awake.

The edge of the hourglass also becomes blurred and distorted, and the round and clear lines turn into waves, dots, and a specious concept.

"Looking" at the hourglass in her mind, Angelica couldn't help but stretched out her hand -

"Angelica! Are you okay?"

Polnareff, who was busy in the villa's laboratory, poked his head. , and even stretched out his finger and poked her big head.

"Too rude! Polnareff!" Xu Lun Kujo grabbed his hand and threw it aside, "Mommy - what's wrong with you?"

"It's all the fault of you brat -!!!"

" What does it have to do with me?" Edogawa Conan argued while holding a notepad, "It's basically your own problem!"

You secretly pried off the things on other people's heads... now you are just reaping the consequences. ?

ha--?

Although she knew that most of what this kid said was right, she was convinced that Xu Lun would not give in: "Don't you have any problems at all? Do normal people have that kind of thing growing on their heads?"

It's really...enough.

When Angelica opened her eyes, she found that she had once again seen the people she was missing a few seconds ago. They were lively and noisy around her, leaving her ears no time to calm down.

The intersection of worlds has become a thing of the past, but she is still the [center] of countless worlds.

The badge dissolved in the hourglass gave Angelica the ability to control. As long as she is willing, she can use herself as an anchor at any time to constantly change the world she is in.

But... in this case...

Angelica looked down at her hands: In this world, I still have the body of a child!

...In other words...

Her ever-changing conjectures have returned to their original point: this is another world. It’s not that the notepad has concealed the real truth, but that the notepad has brought about a [new]

No, something’s not right.

Angelica doesn't think Notepad has the ability to create a new world - after all, it can't even stop Angelica from "giving" stand-in abilities to everyone.

So, what is going on?

World... alternation... notepad...

could it be said that - the notepad just brought a similar world here and made a connection with the original world?

"That is to say -" Unknowingly, Angelica said her guess, "Is it just a kind of [gravity]?"

The so-called logic, the so-called recognition, is actually just because - Those denied stories have no corresponding world at all, right?

Ah.

It seemed that the mysterious veil was finally unveiled, but found that it was nothing more than that. Angelica sneered in her heart.

"I understand."

After Angelica shared her new conjecture with everyone, Edogawa Conan thought for a long time before speaking.

"In other words, what is important is not logic, but the fact of existence."

If there is no corresponding world, no matter how reasonable the logic is, it is impossible for the notepad to lead the correct world to this point.

"But... if it's just like this..." Edogawa Conan looked at the blank notepad and hesitated, "Will our world really change because of this?"

What will change is the current world, or the place we live in? What about human beings’ understanding of the world?

Angelica was silent.

Because she herself can't tell clearly at the moment.

Even if she couldn't explain it clearly, Angelica felt like she was choking hard: The original world was unscientific... But according to Kujo Jotaro, the substitute ability that is inseparable from the main body... Why Have you also entered the nihilistic realm of philosophy?

hateful.

Angelica finally felt the first mental frustration in her life.

.

"Angelica? What happened?"

The badge, or should be said, the ability of the hourglass is still being explored. Angelica accidentally returned to Morio Town Park again.

Although it was an accident, she still discovered a lot of interesting things: for example, when she left a certain world, everything in the world would stop. It won't be until she returns again that the world will start moving again.

Just like Jotaro Kujo in front of me.

A minute ago, she saw the other person lowering the brim of his hat and moving his mouth, as if he had something to say.

But before she had time to listen, she turned back to another world.

The next minute, when she returned again, she found that he was still in the same state just now. His lips trembled twice before he spoke.

Time and space seemed to be standing still, waiting for her to "return to her place".

Really?

Angelica always feels that this conjecture is a bit too presumptuous: Human beings, no matter how special they are... can never become the center of the world, right?

Maybe... it's just that the substitute ability arrived at the same time when it returned.

"All of this... is really complicated..." Angelica sighed, stretched out her hand to pinch Xu Lun's face, but unexpectedly, this action seemed to trigger some mechanism, and her eyes changed again. ——

"Mommy——?! She is——? Well——Damn——!"

High school student Kujo Xu Lun saw a familiar kid suddenly appear next to Kiss Mommy, and he was furious: He actually left. Mommy was so close—she was hugging me tightly! Mommy - you damn little devil - see if I don't beat you all over your head! ! !

"Wait..."

Angelica spoke in vain. Kujo Xu Lun's stand-in had already taken the lead and flew to Xiao Xu Lun's side, showing her sandbag-sized fists at her fair round face.

Um?

Elementary school student Xu Lun Kujo looked up: It was clear that everything in front of him was empty... but why did he always feel that there was some danger hidden there?

So weird - but I have to protect Mommy! ! !

With this in mind, she hugged Angelica tightly and pressed against her harder. This post instead raised a question -

"Mommy -?! Who are you -?!"

Why is the child I am holding turned into a strange child? ! what happened? Where has my dear mommy gone? !

Little Xu Lun let go of his hand in surprise and fell backward, almost falling to his feet.

【Euler! ]

Shi Zhiyou, who originally sent out his fist to teach the ignorant child a lesson, couldn't help but turn around, unclenched his fist, stretched out his palm lightly and quickly, and gave the unfortunate little girl a hand from behind.

"Hey - isn't this Xu Lun -" Polnareff couldn't understand the current situation, but he accepted any changes well, "Why are there two Xu Lun? It's really nerve-wracking."

"Such a young Xu Lun - hum - come here -"

[Stare -]

Elementary school student Kujo Xu Lun also didn't understand anything, but she became inexplicably excited: What's going on? I was actually sitting on the air! ! ! There seems to be an invisible hand in the air that supports me? !

And -

"This uncle - who are you?"

The hair style is really weird, comparable to that guy named Higashikata Jousuke.
