**Tokyo, Japan –** A chaotic scene is unfolding at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters following an unprecedented incident involving the notorious detective agency, Conan Edogawa, and a group of children. Initial reports indicate that the agency’s latest investigation – centered around a series of seemingly unrelated thefts targeting antique clocks – has resulted in a complete lockdown of the agency’s specialized “Noah’s Ark” facility, trapping both Conan and several young witnesses within a repeating temporal loop.

The incident began approximately 37 minutes ago when a complex mechanism, identified as a prototype temporal distortion device, was activated within the Noah’s Ark, a heavily reinforced and technologically advanced structure designed to isolate and study individuals exhibiting unusual abilities. The device, believed to have been developed by a rogue faction within the agency, was intended to create a controlled environment for observation, but instead triggered a localized temporal anomaly. Witnesses report experiencing jarring repetitions of the same 15-minute period, filled with fragmented conversations and unsettling visual distortions.

“It’s like… like we’re stuck on a broken record,” stated young Hiroshi Tanaka, a 10-year-old witness who was present during the activation. “Everything resets. We keep saying the same things, doing the same things. It’s terrifying.”

Conan Edogawa, along with his assistant Ginso Kurou, and several junior detectives, are currently attempting to decipher the device’s workings and break the loop. However, the repeated temporal distortions are hindering their efforts, and the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Initial scans of the Noah’s Ark indicate that the device is not merely repeating time, but actively manipulating the memories and perceptions of those within its confines.

“The chronal signature is… unstable,” reported Detective Inspector Sato, speaking via secured channel. “It’s as if the device is feeding off our thoughts. The longer we remain trapped, the more potent the effect becomes.”

Authorities have cordoned off the surrounding area, and a specialized team of temporal specialists, led by Dr. Akemi Yagura, are en route to the scene. The immediate priority is to stabilize the temporal field and rescue those trapped within the Noah’s Ark. The investigation into the device’s origins and the identity of those responsible for its creation is now a top priority, with speculation swirling around potential links to previous, unsolved cases involving advanced technological anomalies.
