In a silent, stark white room, a young man lay quietly on a hospital bed.
Various medical devices were connected to his body.
The young man’s eyes fluttered, seemingly requiring a great deal of effort to open.
“Where am I?!”
His first words were filled with confusion.
Soon, a surge of memories flooded his mind.
The young man's name was Dao Yuan Shun, an orphan who had lost his parents at a young age.
He inherited the family's home at 2-15-15, Mita Town, Mita City, along with some assets.
He hadn't expected to be hit by a car and become a vegetative state right after starting high school.
Perhaps Dao Yuan Shun should be grateful that the driver wasn't irresponsible.
They had kept his medical records up-to-date.
Otherwise, as a vegetative orphan, his fate might have been nothing but death.
“Wait, the person who hit me was Kudo Yukiko?!”
“Wait, this is the world of Detective Conan?!”
Suddenly, fragmented memories surfaced in Dao Yuan Shun’s mind.
Based on his previous body's memories, there was someone named Kudo Yukiko who visited him at intervals.
There was no mistake, the current Dao Yuan Shun was not the original.
He was now occupied by a transmigrator!
More importantly, not just any transmigrator, but a second-life transmigrator.
In his first life, he was born in neighboring China and transmigrated to the world of cultivation, becoming a Demon Cultivator.
He fell in a battle against a powerful opponent, but unexpectedly, he transmigrated again.
He arrived in the world of Detective Conan, taking over the identity of the vegetative Dao Yuan Shun.
“Since I’ve come to this world, then I will live as Dao Yuan Shun.”
Dao Yuan Shun’s eyes flickered slightly, silently thinking.
After understanding his current situation, his first priority wasn't to learn the Detective Conan timeline.
It was to regain his strength!
While the world of Detective Conan was a modern world, it was generally peaceful.
But there were some special circumstances.
Without a bit of strength, even Dao Yuan Shun wouldn't feel secure.
Compared to the treacherous world of cultivation, a peaceful world was more suitable for him.
Besides, the world of Detective Conan wasn't completely devoid of spiritual energy.
After all, in the original story, there was a witch.
There might be other beings as well.
Although the world of Detective Conan was currently in a state of near-extinction of spiritual energy.
The newly awakened Dao Yuan Shun could only sense extremely thin spiritual energy.
If it weren't for the cultivation foundation he brought with him from his previous life, he wouldn't have even been able to sense it.
However, for Dao Yuan Shun at this moment, it wasn't impossible to recover his cultivation.
For Demon Cultivators, there was more than just the normal path of absorbing spiritual energy.
Souls and flesh were also ways to advance.
Currently, being in the hospital, the most suitable method for him was to devour some souls.
Ordinary people, upon death, their souls wouldn't dissipate immediately.
Instead, they would transform into soulless entities.
Of course, there were some with strong attachments who could linger for a while.
“This is my third life, counting this one.”
“My soul is undoubtedly strong. Combined with soul devouring techniques, it’s enough.”
.
Dao Yuan Shun immediately had a plan.
Just as Dao Yuan Shun was lost in thought, a nurse walked in and saw his open eyes, her excitement evident.
“Doctor, come quickly, the patient has woken up!”
It wasn't easy for someone in a vegetative state to awaken.
Every case was practically a miracle.
And now, a miracle had occurred.
Soon, several doctors rushed in.
They began to examine Dao Yuan Shun, but he didn’t pay them any attention.
This was because his soul and body were still out of sync.
After all, his reincarnation was similar to a soul snatch.
It required some time to integrate. Although he had opened his eyes.
But in reality, he was still unable to speak or move.
But as long as he devoured enough souls, his integration would accelerate.
Fortunately, he was in the hospital, and Dao Yuan Shun could sense many souls floating around.
So, he began to capture those souls that had recently departed, using the soul devouring technique.
Meanwhile!
On the other side of the world, a woman in a graceful figure just emerged from the bathroom, receiving a call.
“What? That young man is awake?!”
“He only just woke up. It will take some time for him to recover.”
“No problem, use the best recovery methods, don't worry about the cost.”
....
Kudo Yukiko spoke with a joyful tone.
This was a secret she kept hidden deep in her heart.
She hadn't expected to hit a young man while driving Shinichi back to high school.
She then used her connections to cover up the incident.
Otherwise, the news of a popular actress hitting someone would have spread like wildfire.
And only she knew about this.
Even her husband and son didn't know!
Mainly because she knew their sense of justice too well.
She initially planned to keep this a secret forever, even if the young man never woke up.
But he did awaken.
All that was left was to reach an agreement with him to keep quiet, and the matter would be settled.
However, Yukiko didn't know that the current Dao Yuan Shun was not the original.
Yukiko quickly booked a flight to Japan, using the excuse of visiting her son.
