Chapter 88 Your Blessings Are Yet to Come

Edogawa Conan and the others didn't understand why Ghost came to such a strange conclusion after talking about such a heavy topic.

But I think it may be their cultural characteristics or the conclusions they draw from years of experience, so they respect it.

Bai Ma Tan: "Judging from the current situation, the winery and the zoo may have joined forces due to recent events, or the zoo may simply want to use the winery to silence us. Otherwise, there's no explanation for why the winery would assassinate Kidd and me."

Conan Edogawa: "If they want to exchange enemies, then we will face assassination attempts by the Zoo. However, the actual execution is very difficult. The winery has been subjected to such a provocation that they have probably never experienced before. Given their personalities, they will definitely find the culprit. In the short term, they will not assassinate but monitor. In addition, the Zoo operates under a low profile... I am afraid that in this situation, even a ghost will not be able to distinguish who is the hidden member of the organization."

Cheng Xiaoyu sighed. "That's true. I'm not good at mind control and searching. I'm better at physical searching."

Mono is more suitable than her for a large-scale mental search mission like this one in a world full of information networks. He can kill all the target persons in just ten minutes.

However, the former Lord of Gloom City's methods were too overbearing, and his style of being swift and decisive with efficiency as the top priority would surely cause panic around the world.

He has never cared about such "small things" that do not affect the stability of the world.

Besides, Mono himself is very busy, and Cheng Xiaoyu really doesn't want to trouble him unless it is absolutely necessary.

May you be struck by lightning if you make people work overtime.

Kaito Kidd: "I'm familiar with this matter. You just need to keep an eye on Rum, the second-in-command of the organization, from the shadows. He will definitely contact his superiors."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "That guy has a special alarm on him that will sound an alarm if a target with cursed energy approaches. Unfortunately, my power is somewhat similar to cursed energy, so it will give a false alarm. Although I can use other methods to monitor him remotely, I must be personally monitoring the operation at all times and cannot leave the 'monitoring room'."

Hakuba placed the knuckles of his index finger on his chin, as if thinking. "But then you won't be able to keep an eye on the zoo, and we'll lose even more clues... It seems we'll have to try fishing. By the way, what is cursed power? Are there any other external sources?"

Cheng Xiaoyu: "That was done by your local sorcerer. The sorcerer is the modern version of the Japanese Onmyoji, an official organization."

Bai Ma Tan was stunned. "A local magical association? So how many non-materialistic things are there in this world?"

He had thought that things like demonic magic, which could not be dealt with by the scientific worldview or even science and technology, were all foreign, and that the local world's non-scientific level was limited to things like spiders that could be dealt with by scientific materialistic methods. In this way, he could close his eyes and pretend not to see it and continue to be a materialist in the world. But now he was told that even the official authorities had a secret special magic side department?

What kind of literary work has entered reality?

Everyone was shocked that Bai Ma Tan was still insisting on maintaining his scientific views at this time!

Kidd sighed and patted Bai Matan's shoulder. "It's okay, you'll get used to it. I forgot to tell you that the Pandora's Stone you always didn't believe in should exist. The ghost said it might be a part of some alchemical product from ancient times."

Bai Ma Tan: “…”

Suddenly I went from "Introduction to Science" to the "Unsolved Mysteries of the World" channel!

After a moment of silence, Bai Ma Tan asked Cheng Xiaoyu in a trance with some anticipation: "Then is Hogwarts also..."

Cheng Xiaoyu showed the devil's ruthlessness at this moment: "No, there isn't. Hogwarts doesn't exist in this world, just like Sherlock Holmes doesn't exist."

Conan Edogawa was thinking: "Spellcaster... Is Tokyo Jujutsu High School related to spellcasters? Could it be that Geto Suguru and Yuu Haibara are both spellcasters?"

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded. "By the way, he knew all about you guys monitoring Geto Suguru before. It was him and I who were acting like crazy on the live stream at Polo Cafe that allowed you and Amuro Toru to get close to his phone. Oh, and he knows your true identity, too."

Edogawa Conan was petrified: "That means when 'Conan' acts spoiled..."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "It's okay actually. He didn't have any objections after knowing your age. After all, his two daughters are only one year younger than you."

Kaito Kidd: "...I remember Geto Suguru is 28 this year, so he had two daughters at the age of 12?"

It's biologically possible, but this is also...is this something modern society can do?

No wonder Hongzi said that sorcerers are all crazy, and no wonder witches don’t like sorcerers.

Edogawa Conan quickly corrected: "Adopted daughter, adopted daughter."

Bai Ma Tan: "That's not right. According to Japanese law, you have to be at least 30 years old to adopt a child, and there should be a 40-year age gap between adopting a child of the opposite sex and adopting a child of the opposite sex?"

Conan Edogawa: "...Well, the legal relationship is written like this anyway. The adoption relationship was established when Geto Suguru turned 20. Gojo Satoru, who was close to him, adopted a five or six-year-old child before he even reached adulthood. It might be a privilege for a sorcerer."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Yes, the Neon sorcerers are relatively autonomous, and each of them has their own set of spells. They can even decide the life or death of any family member with a casual word. Higher-level people can also assassinate, frame, and execute lower-level sorcerers at will, even if they are minors. The two children adopted by Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru were to save them from such a family."

Hakuba Tan, whose father was the Metropolitan Police Department's director, immediately turned stern. "How can this be? What about the other children? What about the other innocent people? How can the Neon Curse Society, which treats human life with such disregard for others, actually do their job? Is there any fundamental difference between them and the Black Society?"

Cheng Xiaoyu applauded: "Well said! I said it over there ten years ago. Any sane person would think they were mentally ill. So now they have been overthrown... or they are almost overthrown (killed) (annihilated)."

The last time they met, Cheng Xiaoyu could smell the blood on Xia Yujie's body.

Gojo Satoru has no moral bottom line, and Ieiri Nozomi is in charge of the rear, so the only one who suffers is Geto Suguru.

Kaito Kidd: "There's something related to the world of curse on Rum. It's very likely that he's already found out about Geto Suguru, and knows he's a curse master, and indirectly believes you're one too. He's wary of you, on guard... Why don't you have [Umekawa Kuko], or disguise yourself as [Geto Suguru], go fishing? Whether we catch the winery or the zoo, we'll win."

Conan Edogawa: "According to the normal psychological activity of wanting to follow the clues without alerting the enemy, it is better to use the more low-key identity of [Sugar Oil Geto] to fish, which should be more likely to relax Rum's vigilance and make him take the bait..."

But in this way, Geto Suguru's own safety may not be guaranteed.

He didn't know that before, but now he knows that Geto Suguru has nothing to do with the winery zoo and was simply dragged into this. Conan Edogawa doesn't want innocent people to be in danger in this fight.

Before Edogawa Conan could finish his words, Cheng Xiaoyu burst out laughing: "Geto Suguru is not a low-key person in any sense. He is one of only four special-grade sorcerers in Japan, and there are more people watching him than me."

The so-called special-grade sorcerer is judged by whether he has the terrifying power to overthrow a country alone. If the Japanese sorcery world fails to kill such a person during his growth period, he will not be able to keep a low profile even if he wants to.

Cheng Xiaoyu even had a reasonable suspicion that Rum's cursed alarm device was probably made specifically to prevent the cursed spirits from monitoring him after finding out his curse technique [Cursed Spirit Manipulation].

However, although Geto Suguru is not afraid of actual assassination and revenge, as for medication... I still have to remind him to pay attention to his diet and other things recently.

Just as he was thinking, Cheng Xiaoyu's cell phone rang. He saw that the contact was actually Gojo Satoru... Well, there was no need to use "actually", after all, the number of contacts in the phone given by Gojo Satoru could be counted on one hand.

Gojo Satoru got straight to the point: "A word has come from Yuta that the local tribe in his area may have what you're looking for. It's described as a 'demon stone that reveals its pupils on full-moon nights.' Local sorcerers claim that if it is pointed at the moonlight on the night of Halley's Comet, it will shed cursed 'demon tears,' bringing endless suffering to those around it. It's very similar to the description of the 'Pandora' gem you mentioned, but if you want to take it, you have to come here in person, because the locals believe that if it is spread around, it will cause disaster, and they will guard it at all costs. But if the 'demon' himself were to retrieve it, I'm sure they wouldn't have any objections."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Please both you and You Tai."

Gojo Satoru: "Then I'll text you Yuta's contact information and the address he mentioned."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Thanks. By the way, you and Geto should be careful about what you eat recently. The winery and another organization that can counter it may be targeting you two. They know your identities and strengths and won't assassinate you directly, so they may tamper with your food, water, and air. I will leave someone in the shadow of you and Huiyuan Xiong to monitor you. If you are in danger, shout or hit the shadow, and they will take you to safety."

For sorcerers, compared with sorcerers and cursed spirits, they pay very little attention to and are less vigilant about ordinary people, especially Gojo Satoru, who often ignores the existence of those without cursed power.

This is not entirely due to their views on ordinary people, but simply because they can see, hear and feel more things, the brain will subconsciously ignore ordinary people who are not "quiet" compared to others.

Gojo Satoru was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Alright, now I know who's so audacious as to collude with those damned old bosses. If Jie is the one who defected, then the Curse Master sentenced him to death."

The winery had limited knowledge of the world of sorcery and the news was delayed. They didn't know that the high-ranking officials in the old sorcery world whom they had bribed were almost all dead, and they didn't know that the letters and poison they used to file a complaint against Geto Suguru had actually fallen into the hands of Geto Suguru's close friend Gojo Satoru during the house search.

Because the high-ranking officials of the old Jujutsu world have been fond of playing this kind of dirty trick to kill themselves for many years, Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and Ieiri Shoko had never thought that it would be a completely ordinary person who would attack Geto Suguru, and they thought that it was another high-ranking official of the old Jujutsu world who wanted to counterattack before his death.

After all, if it wasn't absolutely necessary, who would have the idea of ​​killing the special-grade sorcerers?

But the winery has the courage to do so.

Now the winery and the zoo have offended both the scientific and magical sides of their local world, which is quite a feat.
