However, he didn't think he had traveled to another world; instead, he felt that he might have been kidnapped here by a group of performance artists or mentally unstable people.

Chapter 82 Conan is in a panic right now.
“Child, don’t panic.” Tony Stark said seriously, but his voice contained a gentleness that he himself was unaware of. “This is… well! You weren’t kidnapped here by kidnappers. This is the Mist Space… a place in the mist that is independent of the other worlds.”
"Don't worry. You're safe now. Although there are quite a few scumbags here... firstly, they wouldn't stoop so low as to harm a child. Secondly, they don't have the ability to do so."
"Who is this scoundrel you're talking about?" Madara Uchiha frowned, suddenly sensing that something was amiss.
"Who did you say it was?" Huang Rong rolled her eyes. As she spent more time in the misty space, her personality gradually became more open, revealing her quirky and mischievous nature. "Madara, who bewitched and ruined Obito's life."
"..." Madara Uchiha remained silent. Because it was indeed the truth, and there was no way to refute it.
"Oh, I see. The uncles didn't mean any harm and won't hurt me? I'm relieved then." Conan said on the surface that he was relieved and his words and emotions had calmed down, but cold sweat was seeping from his forehead.
He felt he'd encountered the worst possible situation. If it were robbers, at least there would be room for negotiation. But these guys might be a bunch of lunatics.
Moreover, judging from the surrounding layout, these guys are incredibly resourceful... Being kidnapped by such a mentally unstable group would be disastrous, especially since Conan doesn't dare to argue back. He's afraid that his words might anger them and he'll be killed for no reason.
“A place independent of the world, is there such a place?” Sawada Tsunayoshi yawned, looked around, and was quite wistful and surprised. “I never thought I would have such a dream… and it felt so real.”
Sawada Tsunayoshi subconsciously pinched his arm, feeling a sharp pain and gasping for breath, "Ouch, ouch, ouch... Hmm? Something's not right."
The fact that he could feel pain meant this wasn't a dream. Sawada Tsunayoshi stared blankly around, then his face contorted in terror. "Where am I?!"
"Why does this look like a starry sky? And there's swirling mist, it's nothing like the astronomical charts I've seen in textbooks... Wait, I might have been abducted by aliens. So this is... a space cockpit mimicking a starry sky? Does this mean I'm destined to be trapped in the cosmos forever, never to return to Earth and see my mother and family again?"
The misty space fell into a deathly silence. Whether it was the deep-seated nature of Aizen or the aloofness of Madara Uchiha, no one spoke. Their expressions were subtle and strange.
"Abducted by aliens? Aliens are a familiar term, but they can't be something that could be born in other worlds." Tony Stark became serious, and after a moment's thought, his words were tinged with surprise. "So, you're from modern society? Or... perhaps from the same world as me."
"Are you also an Earthling who was abducted by aliens?" Sawada Tsunayoshi's breath hitched, and he turned to look at Tony Stark, unsure whether to be surprised or terrified.
“This isn’t an alien space cockpit anymore,” Tony Stark confirmed, laughing, clearly in a good mood. “But then again, it’s not unreasonable to say this place resembles the starry sky…after all, this is what the early universe looked like in the beginning of the Big Bang.”
Because of Su Han's breakthrough to the Three Realms Realm last time, Tony Stark had clearly determined that the place they were in might be the prototype of a new universe.
Tony Stark was always deeply troubled by this thought. To use a nascent universe as the venue for a council meeting—what an extravagant undertaking!
"Wow! That's amazing," Conan exclaimed.
But his lips twitched, as if he were in the early stages of the Big Bang? Why don't you guys point out that those strangely glowing decorations next to him, which look like planets, are actually real planets? You're really trying to fool him like a child.
But then again... Conan stared silently in Sawada Tsunayoshi's direction. That guy seemed to have come in with him? So, he was also tricked into coming in by this group of lunatics? He sounded very young, maybe just a middle school or high school student.
However, seeing Sawada Tsunayoshi nodding thoughtfully, Conan didn't know where to even begin his rant.
They're so easily fooled! They believe everything people tell them?!
“The joke should end here,” Su Han said calmly, as unhurried as ever. He turned his gaze to Conan. “Edogawa Conan… no, or rather, I should call you Kudo Shinichi.”
Conan's pupils dilated suddenly, and his body froze. After a long silence, he said timidly, "I have no idea what you're talking about, Uncle."
How did this mysterious guy know he was Shinichi Kudo? Conan's mind raced, and he immediately dismissed the theory that they were a group of psychopathic individuals.
Now, Conan is starting to suspect... Could this group of people be members of the Black Organization? Is this place the Black Organization's headquarters?
"If that's the case, then we're in big trouble." Conan's heart sank. He had infiltrated enemy territory, and his identity was suspected of being exposed? He might very well be executed here next.
"Is that so?" Su Han stared calmly at Conan. Suddenly, he thought of a plan, and his gaze sharpened. Then, ripples appeared all over Conan's body.
Then, a wave of light spread outward from Conan, transforming into a real illusion.
“This is…” Conan sat on the bronze chair, his face blank. This was the day he and Ran went to the amusement park.
Shinichi Kudo noticed the man in black's unusual behavior and followed him, discovering their secret transaction. However, he was caught off guard and forcibly knocked unconscious by the man in black, who then forced him to drink a special drug. When he woke up, he had transformed into a young boy.
And that's where the scene abruptly ends.
Tony Stark remained silent for a long time. Having witnessed the realistic hallucination, what was there left for him not to understand? He figured the boyish-looking one was probably the high school student who had been drugged…
He actually thought it was just a child? He was even manipulated by the child's manipulative speech. This is truly...
Gritting his teeth, Tony Stark took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He reassured himself that even a high school student was just a kid to him. As an adult, he should treat young people kindly… even though this kid was really asking for it.
"Your Excellency, did you extract that child's past experiences with just one glance?" Aizen gripped the armrests of the bronze chair tightly, his heart pounding.
"Is this a profound mystery of time? Or was that image extracted directly from the history of the world in which that child lived?"
Or perhaps, after just one glance and having that thought… did that young man's world naturally revolve around the councilor's ideas, thus revealing the true history?
Such methods are unbelievable even to top experts like them who stand tall in various worlds.
But for the Speaker of Parliament, it might be as natural as breathing.
God... indeed, at all times, reveals a divinity that transcends that of mortals.

Chapter 83 The Anti-Aging Potion and Omens of Death
Conan Edogawa remained silent for a long time, his mind a complete mess.
"What was that just now... was it a virtual projection? But something doesn't make sense. Virtual projection technology shouldn't have developed to that level... More importantly, even if the Men in Black's technology surpasses current society and they possess this level of projection technology, they couldn't possibly completely simulate the scene from that day."
If the Men in Black knew from the beginning that he was Shinichi Kudo, he wouldn't be alive now, right?
The Men in Black could easily send someone to assassinate him from a distance with a sniper rifle! This would be difficult for ordinary people, or even ordinary robbers, but it would be a piece of cake for the Men in Black.
