Chapter 53: Rebirth in the Fire
"Conan, what's wrong?"
"Brother Yayoi, the bomb at the Skytree has been removed. Um... do you have any clues about the other two places?" Conan and Amuro Toru searched for a long time before finding the bomb hidden in the ceiling. After removing it, they called the police and asked them to take the bomb away.
The bomber in the past would give some code words or puzzles, but this time the bomber didn't even give any clues. Even detectives need puzzles to solve the case, Conan was dumbfounded. Of course, the fanatic-like speeches still contained information, but it was not directly a puzzle, which increased the difficulty of deciphering.
Yayoi Wakage: ...How do I know if you don't know? I'm not Motis or Athena, the god of wisdom.
"Sorry, I don't know, and I'm in the hospital now." It's impossible for Kazukage Yayoi to be hospitalized after being seriously injured and then immediately get up and join in the bomb search as if nothing had happened. He should just stay in the hospital and wait for the doctor's notice.
"Huh? What happened to you, Yayoi brother?" Conan was puzzled. Wasn't it just four or five hours since he left? How did he end up in the hospital?
"It's just a minor problem. It's fine now. The doctor just asked me to stay in the hospital for two more days. By the way, I have a friend who also wants to help. Is it convenient for you?"
"Eh? Brother Yayoi's friend? Okay, we are in Asagiri Park now." Conan looked at Toru Amuro who was looking over at him and gestured to him to come over. "What friend of Brother Yayoi is this?"
Upon hearing this, Toru Amuro frowned. Who else could be Jing Yayoi's friend except the kids from Teitan High School? It couldn't be Kenbali.
"Well, his name is Oda Hiro, Conan can call him Brother Hiro."
He Jing Yayoi reached out and lightly tapped the necklace that Zhu Fu Jing Guang was wearing. The pendant suddenly burst into dazzling light. After a flash of white light, Zhu Fu Jing Guang found that he was wearing a familiar light blue hooded sweatshirt and a pair of beige trousers. The only difference was that he was not carrying his usual guitar bag, and he was wearing a huge black mask on his face that covered most of his face.
This outfit seemed too familiar. He checked his body and found that he didn't have any weapons that he usually hid. It was just an ordinary outfit, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Well, Hong is near Chaogiri Park. He doesn't like to interact with others and doesn't talk much, so he won't get in your way. You guys need to find someone anyway, and one more person means more strength. I'll let him help you."
Although Conan felt a little puzzled, he still thought there was nothing wrong with agreeing, "Okay, Brother Yayoi, then we'll wait for Brother Hong here."
After saying everything was fine to Jing Yayoi and hanging up the phone, I saw Zhu Fu Jingguang's hesitant expression.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to do something? Now you can do it. I put a magic trick on you. When others see the pendant, they think they see you. Part of your entity comes from the pendant, and part of it comes from the energy I divide you. So you can't touch things too much, and you can't talk too much. These all consume energy." He Jing Yasheng took an apple from the bedside and gave it to Zhu Fu Jingguang, "Now, imagine that you have a physical body and you can pick up this apple."
Zhu Fu Jingguang's memory was that of a normal person, and a person would not feel that he had no entity. But when he tried to pick up the apple, his palm passed through the apple and he took nothing.
"Feel your origin and attach the power of the origin to your hands." He Jing Yayoi pointed at the pendant. As a tool soul, only the tool has a physical body.
Zhu Fu Jingguang began to imagine that he was a pendant, which passed through the tip of He Jing Yayoi's finger, cut into the space between his palm and the apple, touched the bottom of the apple, and then lifted the apple up with force. He opened his eyes, and sure enough, the apple was "lifted" by him. At the same time, he could clearly feel that as time passed, he was getting more and more unable to hold it, and the apple gradually passed through his palm and fell back into He Jing Yayoi's hand.
Kazukage Yayoi added another energy to Morifushi Keimitsu, "Now you can only sustain the entity for 40 seconds. If you are unconscious, your body will be pierced if touched." Kazukage Yayoi threw the apple unexpectedly, and the apple passed through Morifushi Keimitsu's body and hit the wall.
Zhu Fu Jingguang made a defensive move reflexively, but was embarrassed to find that he felt nothing and the apple did not cause him any harm.
Kazukage Yayoi didn't react to his defensive moves, so he continued, "You can just talk as you did when you were a human, but talking also drains your energy, so talk less and have less contact."
He Jing Yayoi took out his phone and took a picture of Zhu Fu Jing Guang. The picture was empty, and there was no figure of Zhu Fu Jing Guang at all. "The sleight of hand is only useful for intelligent creatures. The camera can't capture you. But it doesn't matter. If it's a surveillance video, I can help you modify it, but if it's someone else's phone, I can't control it."
Zhu Fujingguang nodded, so he couldn't speak, stayed away from people, and took a detour when he saw a cell phone.
"Conan is with Mr. Amuro. You can go see Mr. Amuro, but don't let him discover your identity. Mr. Amuro has many connections with the world line. If he finds you, the world line will also record it, which will be very dangerous. The same is true for Conan. His connection with the world line is the closest in this world. But don't worry, everything will be fine."
Seeing that Zhu Fu Jing Guang's brows were all knitted together, He Jing Yasheng turned to comfort him, "You have the protection I have put on you. As long as it is not a world-level attack, it will not hurt you."
"I'm not worried about myself. I'm thinking, Yayoi, why do you want me to contact them? Because I just said that I can't do anything?"
"That's about right. Since you think you are a soul and have no effect, then I will make you useful. This is an experiment. I want to see, if the world line does not allow you to be resurrected, but you appear next to someone related to the world line, who will be affected, you or the world line?"
Kazukage Yayoi knew that this might sound a bit inhumane, "But the worst case scenario is the current state, so don't worry, it won't disappear completely."
Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head. "It doesn't matter if you disappear. I am already dead. I am worried that Yayoi is doing something dangerous. As a human, well, I used to be a human. I can't judge what you are doing, Yayoi."
He knew that if Kazukage Yayoi really wanted to do something bad, neither he nor all of humanity would be able to resist. Moreover, although the other party seemed to have different values from humans, he still advocated a non-participation, non-initiative, and non-interference attitude. Under such circumstances, Kazukage Yayoi's experiments on humans seemed particularly strange.
"Well... it's not that I don't want to talk about it, but it's a little complicated, and... I'm worried that you'll collapse after hearing it." He Jing Yayoi recalled the stories of the Cthulhu series he had read. Although he was not a Cthulhu deity, he did not guarantee that these were within the unknowable range. After all, when Andong Yayoi saw his true form, he did collapse directly as the invisible required, "Do you know the Cthulhu mythology? Well, you can roughly understand it this way."
This was indeed a blind spot in Zhu Fu Jingguang's knowledge. He shook his head and said, "Then I'll go back and check... hm?"
A piece of knowledge about the restraint system flooded into Zhufu Jingguang's mind. Ah, is it so convenient...
"That's about it. Do you understand? The knowledge of the gods may be forbidden to humans. I can't guarantee that you won't collapse after listening to it, because I have indeed encountered such a situation. Also, whether you like it or not, as long as I want to use your perspective, I can feel what you are doing. In any case, when I give you the lifeline, you become my believer. But generally speaking, I won't watch it."
Perspective... Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned. Isn't that a bath? Oh, no, he is a soul, what kind of bath? Ah, think about it carefully, it seems that there is really nothing to avoid doing with Jing Yasheng, so it's okay.
"It's almost time, let's go play." He and Jing Yayoi looked at the time. If they chatted for a while longer, Conan and the others would probably not be able to wait any longer.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was about to speak, but he stopped talking. For Yayoi, is it just a game? Human emotions and life and death are really just trivial matters for gods. He sighed. Fortunately, Yayoi currently looks like a stable god. "Okay, I'll go right away."
