Detective Conan: Beika Town's Complete Transformation into Los Santos

Page 46

With alternatives and due to temporary needs, Lin Che chose to use the combat proficiency set for now.

Looking back now, I realize that my decision wasn't too wrong.

He has his own brain, though it's not quite enough, but he also has Ai Haibara as an external brain.

Magic... Didn't Koizumi Akako come knocking on our door herself?

It may seem like you only chose one, but in reality, you have them all now.

On the contrary, the seemingly most useless and least desirable skill, Fighting Mastery, can provide a noble 100% all-attribute buff in the later stages, paving the way for your stat-focused path.

Lin Che stared at Koizumi Akako for a while, then said:

"Why don't you tell me the differences between these four types of magic first?"

"Besides, it's not that I don't believe in your sincerity, but you said before that divination doesn't work for me, and I want to know how you saw my so-called potential."

Koizumi Akako opened her eyes, her black skirt suddenly swirling as she struck an exaggerated queenly pose:

“Witches aren’t useless without magic.”

"I have my own way."

"As for the differences between the four types of magic..."

Her expression suddenly turned cold, and she spread her five fingers to her sides. Instantly, the candlelight in the castle room rose fiercely, and the room was bathed in a dark red glow.

"What I possess is red magic, also known as cinnabar magic."

"Commanding flames and summoning the netherworld are merely the most basic uses of this magic."

Koizumi Akako clenched her fingers, and the strange phenomenon in the room immediately subsided.

"And the black magic that you might be able to master also covers a very wide range."

"Illusion, eye magic, spell magic... and it can also summon spirits and exorcise ghosts. Most of its content is actually quite similar to Red Magic."

"The most important difference is that red magic relies on talent and training to increase its magical power, while black magic..."

She paused, a cold glint flashing in her wine-red eyes.

Then, he drew several lines in the air with his fingers, and images of intertwined flames gradually appeared.

on the screen.

The deceased whose soul has left their body.

There were also strangers in the theater who covered their faces in fear or looked fanatical, almost like believers.

"You increase your magical power by collecting the souls of the dead."

"Moreover, emotions such as extreme fear and extreme excitement are also highly efficient fuels for black magicians to ignite their magical fire."

Koizumi Akako's illustrated explanations are simple, clear, and easy to understand.

"As for blue magic, it has complete control over all kinds of natural weather and energy. The strongest can even easily stir up tsunamis that can submerge the continent."

As they spoke, black flames outlined the shape of Japanese islands, while red flames transformed into towering waves, resembling the end of the world.

"Finally, there's white magic."

The various strange phenomena in the room suddenly froze and then dissipated.

Then, a huge black-and-white photograph slowly rose from the red carpet.

The painting depicts Kaito Kid.

Koizumi Akako held the photo frame with one hand, her tone disdainful.

"White magic is magic in the secular world."

"Mortals use tricks and other methods to impersonate magic, and this is the most recognized and has the most inheritors among all magical categories."

As she spoke, a hint of resentment crept into her voice.

"It is precisely because white magic is the mainstream and there are too many mortals that we true magicians are forced to hide."

"They dare not easily display the magic they possess, and are forced to stand on the same social class as ordinary people."

So white magic is magic?

Lin Che really didn't expect that hearing the last part would result in such a huge mess.

Since ancient times, black and white have been irreconcilable enemies. He had already considered white magic as his greatest enemy, but it turned out that the other party didn't know any magic at all.

and many more.

If we follow the perspective of the "red and black" stance of the Kosei school, then wouldn't his enemy be Koizumi Akako?

Lin Che then looked at the queen-like Koizumi Akako and said, "If you want to explore my origins, purpose, thoughts, or the like, I'm afraid there's very little I can tell you."

"I don't have any particular purpose or many ideas. My core purpose is probably just to live a good life and live a life of luxury."

"However, I can exchange another piece of information with you."

Koizumi Akako frowned. "What intelligence?"

Lin Che stared intently at Koizumi Akako's face, "The true identity of Phantom Thief Kid."

"Really?" Koizumi Akako was even more puzzled. "You know him?"

call--

Guessed it.

As expected, Koizumi Akako still doesn't know Kaito Kuroba's identity!

The two's behavior at Poirot Cafe had already aroused Lin Che's suspicions, and now it has been completely confirmed.

Lin Che nodded and said:

“You have already shown your sincerity, so I won’t beat around the bush with you anymore.”

"The real name of Kaito Kid is Kuroba Kaito."

The moment the name appeared, Koizumi Akako immediately recognized it and showed an incredulous expression.

Because Kaito Kuroba is the classmate she just transferred to!

She wouldn't have remembered anyone else, but this guy was just too outgoing and had too much presence in the class.

Moreover, the other party was a "white magician" whom he disliked quite a bit, who would show off his magic skills to gain the admiration and amazement of Muggles.

She transferred schools because she was tired of her previous school. She heard the same people saying the same compliments every day, which was incredibly boring. A change of environment would make things much better.

Unexpectedly, after transferring schools, he ended up working directly with Kaito Kid.

"Is there some unseen causal thread connecting us?"

Koizumi Akako couldn't help but mutter to herself, deciding to get her fortune told again later.

At this moment, Lin Che interrupted her reverie, "So, when will you lead me to find the magic gate?"

Koizumi Akako took a half step back. "Let me verify your information first. Besides, how did you know I was looking for Phantom Thief Kid?"

I didn't know you were looking for him.

My mind works a bit slowly; I just realized that I could use Kaito Kid's identity as a plot device.

Lin Che revealed a mysterious smile, "I have some special sources of intelligence, and I'm not the complete novice you imagine."

"For example, I also know that once you shed a tear, you will lose your magic forever."

"I think I'm not wrong, Miss Witch."

Koizumi Akako: !!!

"I'll wait for your message. It won't be difficult to verify, and I don't want to wait too long."

Lin Che stood up and slowly walked away amidst the witch's terrified gaze.

"Also, could you please have your housekeeper take me back? We always say we'll pick you up and drop you off together."

Chapter 56: Turning against guests

Lin Che is gone.

He had just stepped out of the room when a new task popped up on his screen.

[The Gate of Black Magic (Hidden): Patiently await news from Koizumi Akako; she will guide you into a completely new realm.]

Since the task description uses the word "patience," it's possible that we'll have to wait quite a few days for this news.

However, Lin Che is not bored at the moment. He has a lot to do. At the very least, he needs to get rid of all the high-ranking members of the Mud Ginseng Association who know his identity before he can have some peace of mind.

If I could get the Disguise skill directly... I could start taking a couple of days off now and then to explore the map and collect chests.

The diligent butler, at Koizumi Akako's behest, drove Lin Che back to Poirot Cafe.

Before getting out of the car, the butler said slowly, "Mr. Lin, I hope you can show Miss Hongzi more respect next time we meet."

Lin Che opened the car door and glanced back at him. "Respect is mutual. You should first advise your Miss Hongzi to learn to respect others."

Koizumi Akako was undoubtedly extremely arrogant.

In fact, whether someone is arrogant or not is not very important to Lin Che. At worst, he will treat you the same way you treat him.

Moreover, Koizumi Akako currently exhibits characteristics such as "having needs for herself" and "being unable to harm herself."

Lin Che naturally felt more confident in maintaining his dignity and didn't have to grovel before Koizumi Akako.

As for why it's said that Koizumi Akako cannot harm herself.

It's the same old argument: you know magic, and you're an extremely arrogant person. You actually choose to chat amicably with a "Muggle" when you have ulterior motives. I can only guess that your magic is useless to me or simply impossible to use.

Magic aside, Koizumi Akako is still a carbon-based life form.

Since you're a carbon-based life form, you can talk to my bullets about any conflicts you may have.

Lin Che casually closed the car door, and the butler didn't say anything more.

The GTR is still parked on the side of the road.

Lin Che's use of [Detective Instinct] has become so ingrained that it's almost like a passive skill; he scans the surroundings almost as soon as the cooldown is over.

He looked helplessly at the passenger seat.

My own car was also flagged.

boarding.

"Next time you try to pick my car lock again, you'll regret it."

Kaito Kuroba still maintains his image as a street hustler.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Lin Che glanced coldly to the side, "If you try to pick my lock again, I'll throw a bucket of fish in your face the moment I see you, then grab you and lock you in a perfectly sized aquarium that's crammed full of fish."

Kaito Kuroba was shocked.

How can there be such vicious people in the world!

and many more.

His poker face broke down once again, "How could you...?"

"Never mind that, I just know, and I also know your real name is Kuroba Kaito."

Kaito Kuroba: "..."

People don't react much when they are extremely shocked.

That's exactly how it is now.

He didn't understand or comprehend it, but he was indeed afraid.

stab-

Kaito Kuroba ripped off the disguised face.

His face was solemn as he revealed his true appearance.

Before I could even get started, my secrets had already been completely exposed.

No, no.
