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

If things had gone according to plan, once she found the person, she would have immediately taken various measures to force the target to confess everything, or simply make them her research subject at will.

Anyway, the magic mirror only said that using the Capture spell would have a backlash.

But once she actually saw the person, her psychic intuition, which was piercing her forehead, told her that if she did that, great danger would befall her.

So Koizumi Akako changed her mind at the last minute and decided to interfere in Lin Che's "date" to have a good chat with him first to satisfy her curiosity and get rid of her lingering thoughts.

My thoughts returned to reality.

Koizumi Akako looked directly at Lin Che's face and said, "You're probably not from either of these two worlds."

Lin Che: ?

Is it so direct?

And why "two worlds"?

Chapter 54 How about making a deal

"It seems I was right."

Koizumi Akako kept a close eye on Lin Che's facial expression.

Even if Lin Che's eyes only changed slightly, it was enough for her to find the answer.

Seeing that controlling his expression was useless, Lin Che frowned and asked, "How did you come to this conclusion, and why are they two different worlds?"

This time, Koizumi Akako didn't keep anyone in suspense: "My divination can be used on anyone, but I can't use it on you."

"My heritage spanning thousands of years is enough for me to rule out many possibilities, so let me broaden my thinking."

"Of course, I have some other speculations, but they're no longer relevant."

She gracefully rested her right hand on the side of her face.

"As for why it's described as two different worlds..."

"Actually, I discovered this secret a long time ago, and I used the ability to use magic to distinguish and divide the two worlds."

"The boundary between the two worlds is really blurry; on the surface, they appear to be a single, definite whole."

"But in reality, they are more like two pools of water that are in the same pond, look exactly the same, but can never coexist."

Koizumi Akako has actually discovered the secrets of the world?

Detective Conan and Magic Kaito do share the same world, but they use different worldviews, which is very similar to Koizumi Akako's current description.

Furthermore, Koizumi Akako does not use magic in the Detective Conan world, and she even makes very few cameo appearances.

Before he transmigrated, Lin Che would have said it was the author's divine power.

But now, all he can say is that this is the rule of the world.

Let's go back to his own story.

Lin Che is indeed not from either of these two worlds, that's for sure.

Fortunately, Koizumi Akako did not realize that this was a game world, nor did she directly explore her own special abilities.

However, the reason that "one cannot be divined" alone cannot explain why Koizumi Akako appeared in front of him.

He steadied himself and repeatedly rubbed his right thumb and forefinger together:

"Three questions."

"First, why do you want to divine my future?"

"Secondly, why do you need to explain so much to me?"

"Third, what do you plan to talk to me about?"

Koizumi Akako couldn't stand men maintaining a calm and composed demeanor in front of her.

She was more used to men surrounding her like dogs craving their owner's attention, wagging their tails at the slightest response.

At first, things were fine; at least Lin Che listened to her.

But in just a few words, the other party had completely changed their attitude towards him.

Koizumi Akako, out of habit, really wanted to teach Lin Che a lesson.

But her psychic intuition warned her, and she held back.

However, she still had to show her temper, so she closed her eyes and said calmly, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

The car was driving on the ground.

Kaito Kuroba, he was not flying in the sky.

Or perhaps he has already flown over, but his appearance on the ground has attracted attention, and a large number of police cars may arrive in a short while.

He had initially thought the barely enough dark clouds in the sky would be enough to cover him, but the clouds dispersed too quickly, and now the sky was clear again.

So he made an emergency landing, keeping an eye on the direction Lin Che and the other person had left in while disguising himself to get away from the crowd, and then hailed a taxi to give chase.

"Tsk tsk tsk, my memory, spatial imagination, and deductive reasoning abilities are simply unbelievable. I doubt even Shinichi Kudo could compare to me in these areas."

Kaito Kuroba was quite pleased with himself.

But then he stopped laughing.

"Guest...Guest, am I seeing things? The car in front seems to have suddenly disappeared."

"what?!"

Kaito Kuroba dashed forward and darted into the gap, peering ahead.

Although there were other cars on the wide road, there weren't many.

As a result, the car really did disappear!

What's going on...

In front.

The red light in Lin Che's eyes gradually dissipated, and the scenery in front of the car had changed.

Just now, Koizumi Akako suddenly raised her finger, and red flames instantly spread to the entire car body, completely obscuring the outside world.

Once the various "special effects" disappeared, the car seemed to have traveled through space to a new place.

Is this magic?

"Have we entered another world?"

"Ah."

Koizumi Akako crossed her legs like a queen, her fingers playing with the ends of her hair.

Seemingly losing patience, she pouted and said, "You're quite good at suppressing your curiosity; you actually plan to wait until we get there to say it."

Lin Che lay comfortably half-reclined, "Instead of overexposing one's desires, it's better to just wait it out. Eventually, one of us will completely lose patience."

He continued before Koizumi Akako could speak, "As for what you are about to say, what you are supposed to answer... I'm not really that interested in it, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not."

"Besides, you actually have a higher need for me, so I have no reason to rush to ask you about it."

In fact, Koizumi Akako's various actions have already revealed a lot of information.

The most important piece of information is that Koizumi Akako not only had needs of herself, but also dared not use violence against herself.

An arrogant woman who possessed magic, having reached a point where she could cast spells, still maintained verbal communication with him.

This is the biggest point of contention.

Those who are in a high position and do not use power or violence must have something to ask of the person they are targeting.

The key is the goal, not what the goal has.

That's why Lin Che is now so fearless.

As for what Koizumi Akako plans to talk about, it's probably just about the special nature of his identity, and there shouldn't be anything else.

We arrived at our destination quickly.

The old butler was short, almost a five-part figure, and had a mouthful of devilishly white teeth.

"Please take the guests to sit down first, I'll go and make some preparations." Koizumi Akako showed almost no respect for the butler, and strode into the castle first with her long, shapely legs.

The butler respectfully led Lin Che inside.

This castle has a much richer historical feel than the one in Yokosuka; every brick and stone is imbued with the passage of time.

The interior decoration was exactly as Lin Che had imagined.

This is indeed a place where witches and sorceresses would live.

Not long after, Koizumi Akako arrived, dressed in a fitted black dress. Her lipstick, which wasn't usually so noticeable, appeared exceptionally bright red against the contrast of her dress.

"Then I'll be frank. I'm very curious about your background, experience, thoughts, and even your purpose."

Koizumi Akako sat down not far from Lin Che, her wine-red eyes radiating confidence.

She not only changed her clothes, but also managed her emotions and expressions.

Lin Che shook his head calmly, "I refuse."

With just one sentence, Koizumi Akako's carefully composed emotions and expression completely crumbled.

I really want to smash a giant fireball in your face...!

Koizumi Akako was frantic inside, and after taking several deep breaths, she finally spoke again.

"Let's try a different approach, how about we make a deal?"

She stood up, casually grabbed a glass of what looked like red wine from the air, and let it float down to Lin Che.

“I’m a very direct person. Bringing you here and demonstrating my abilities to you is already a show of sincerity.”

"Since you're so mercenary, I might as well just lay out my bottom line."

There are four kinds of magic in this world: black, white, blue, and red.

“I can see that you have the potential to master dark magic.”

As Koizumi Akako spoke, she walked and soon arrived in front of Lin Che.

She was standing, while Lin Che was sitting.

The candlelight flickered in the room, creating an inexplicably ambiguous atmosphere.

Koizumi Akako would never bow to anyone; looking at someone at eye level was her limit.

So she simply closed her eyes and slowly said:

"While I cannot guarantee success, I can guide you to the magic gate of dark magic if needed."

Chapter 55 Four Types of Magic

I?

Does he have the potential to master dark magic?

Lin Che didn't distrust Koizumi Akako; after all, he had previously had the opportunity to acquire magic, but he had simply given it up.

There were three options at the time.

Increases all attributes' combat proficiency, provides a high-dimensional perspective on logical deduction, and unlocks a magic gate with a very high failure rate.

Initially, because he really wanted to choose the introductory magic course, he deliberately delayed making a choice.

However, when he was about to have his final showdown with Scowbin, under the influence of Ai Haibara, he chose to focus on combat proficiency, which would immediately improve his skills.

I don't know if his fighting skills were too useful or if Scobin was just too useless.

Anyway, this mini-boss, whose level was much higher than his own, was easily defeated by him without causing much of a ripple.

Lin Che's decision not to choose the other two options was also based on additional considerations.

In Lin Che's view, logical reasoning was not very helpful to him, especially skills such as cold reading, which he always felt were not very useful.

As for the basics of magic... just like disguise, they are not something that can only be acquired by making your own choices.

If disguise can be used on Kaito Kuroba, then magic might be just as effective on Akako Koizumi.
