When Hattori Heiji and Conan came to the square again, all they could see were swordsmen lying on the ground.

"You, who are you?"

Hattori Heiji picked up a sword and roared at the man in front of him. Conan might not be able to feel it, but as a kendo master, Hattori Heiji could clearly sense that the man in front of him had a powerful strength that he could not resist at all. The devil-like figure who had killed countless reformists in the bloody storm at the end of the shogunate seemed to have become a reality at this moment...

“…”

The man didn't say anything, but turned around silently and raised the knife towards Hattori.

"Hattori!"

"Heiji!"

Seeing this scene, Conan and Kazuha shouted immediately, while Hattori clenched the knife in his hand and looked forward nervously. Then the next moment, he saw the cold light flashing before his eyes.

So fast!!

Hattori Heiji can be considered an expert in kendo, but even he felt that he could hardly catch the trajectory of the sharp blade the moment the man drew his sword. Moreover, at that moment, Hattori Heiji even felt that his body was bound by some invisible silk thread, and he couldn't even move. He could only watch the cold light rushing towards him, and then... pass by him.

"……Why?"

Looking at the sword blade that was almost brushing against his cheek, Hattori Heiji stood there in a daze. But before he could react, he heard the sound of "pa pa pa" clapping from afar.

"So awesome, so awesome, Fang Zheng, you're so handsome!"

"Fang Zheng?"

After hearing the name, everyone looked at the man carefully, and then they realized that the man in front of them was none other than Fang Zheng.

“Haha…”

Seeing this, Kazuha finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes.

"Come on, what the hell are you doing?"

"Come and help."

Fang Zheng sheathed his sword and chuckled.

"When I came here, I just saw you guys being chased all over the yard. I didn't expect these guys to be so persistent and only use swords, bows and arrows. So to show my respect for them, I also cosplayed as a Shinsengumi... How is it? Not bad, right?"

"They almost scared people to death... You didn't kill them, did you?"

"How is that possible?"

In response to Hattori Heiji's complaints, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.

"This is a prop I bought at the movie city. It's not sharpened yet, so it can't kill anyone."

"Looking at the way you looked just now, if he wasn't beaten to death, you probably scared him to death."

At this moment, Conan also came up and said something, while Fang Zheng looked at him silently.

"You are a guy who kicks a football as if it were a missile. You have no right to criticize me."

It's just hurting each other, who's afraid of who?

After that, the matter was naturally resolved. Fang Zheng was certainly not as stupid as Hattori Heiji and Conan, so he naturally called the police to settle the matter early. Then Conan and Hattori Heiji also solved the boring puzzle and luckily found the Buddha statue, but Fang Zheng obviously didn't care or interested in it.

"Come to think of it, Fang Zheng, why don't you like reasoning? I think detectives are pretty cool."

Looking at Conan and Hattori rejoicing over the Buddha statue they found, Mira looked curiously at Fang Zheng who had changed into his clothes again.

"I don't like detective work, mainly because I don't like solving puzzles."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"As for the so-called puzzle, in my opinion, it's just a question given by the other party, and then the detective is asked to solve it on the same level as you. Even if the solution is successful, so what? It only means that your IQ is at the same level as his. If it were me, I wouldn't go through so much trouble to solve the puzzle map. According to the culprit, this temple is the place where the deceased leader of the theft gang lived. So we just need to get a search warrant and turn the place upside down. If we can't find anything, we're still staring at a broken map..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng snorted.

"I don't like being led by the nose, and isn't this kind of puzzle just leading others by the nose?"

"What you said seems to make sense."

Mira thought about it carefully and nodded.

“But treasure hunting is still fun.”

"At least there are mountains of gold and silver, so it's not a loss. Besides, there's no point in competing with the dead."

Having said that, Fang Zheng hugged Mira's waist and whispered something in her ear.

"But now I have a more interesting treasure to explore..."

“Woo…”

Hearing this, Mira's face suddenly turned red.

"Haven't you been exploring all day?"

"But that's not enough. After all, it's interesting to have different reactions every time. Let's go back to the hotel. We'll leave this... to the police."

"……Um."

To Fang Zheng, this was much more attractive than something like a Buddha statue.

Meanwhile, in another world...

"boom!!"

The door of the church slowly opened, and a lizardman wearing leather armor and carrying a long sword walked in. Without even looking at the guests around him, he rushed directly to the altar in front of him and hugged the groom in a suit tightly.

"I am coming!"

"What are you doing here?"

Feeling the embrace of the Lizard Warrior, the groom closed his eyes.

"I have already given up, so why can't you give up?"

"I won't give up, because you are mine! I won't give you to anyone else!"

"but……"

"No buts!"

The lizard man grabbed the groom's hand, and the groom shook his body and immediately embraced the tall body of the lizard warrior with his two strong arms.

“Wuwuwu…”

Looking at the scene in front of her, the Goddess of Order was moved to tears.

"This is true love. This is what I want to see. As expected, true love is invincible. It transcends the shackles of race and gains true love. What a touching moment... Oh, by the way, I should also give them a blessing or something..."

As the Goddess of Order spoke, a holy light descended from the sky and shone on the two of them...

"Well, that should be fine."

The Goddess of Order nodded, and at this moment, suddenly, a soft sound came from her ears.

“Meow…”

"Um?"

Hearing this voice, the Goddess of Order turned her head curiously and looked towards the place where the voice came from. She saw a black kitten with a bow tied on its tail sitting there, licking itself and playing with its paws. When she saw the cat, the Goddess of Order was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly changed.

"wait……"

However, before the Goddess of Order could finish her words, the next moment, the little kitten raised its head and meowed.

"Meow……"

The sound was so faint that it was almost inaudible, but the next moment, the pure white space where the Goddess of Order was located was completely shattered as if hit by an invisible shock wave, and dark shadows instantly enveloped the entire world. The next moment, when the music sounded, what was in front of them was no longer the pure white space that the Goddess of Order was familiar with, but a dark and quiet space with elegant and gorgeous sofas, tables and chairs, and a gorgeous symphony playing on the phonograph next to it.

"Sit down and talk."

Sitting on the chair was a girl in a black dress with long dark blue hair reaching to her waist. Her eyes were calm and she seemed to have the wisdom of tens of thousands of years. Only the tail that swung behind her from time to time and the small blue bow tied on it gave her a bit of innocence and childishness.

“Ah, yes…”

At this moment, the Goddess of Order no longer had just one neck, but it had returned to its original state. She looked at the girl cautiously, then sat on the chair opposite.

"No, I didn't expect that the great witch, Lady Berencastel, would come here in person... Um, are you okay?"

"oh?"

Although the girl looked much younger than the Goddess of Order, at this moment she just raised her eyes and glanced at the Goddess of Order.

"Do you know me?"

"Yes, that's right... I once took your class..."

"I never thought that there would be someone in the Order Clan who would be interested in my class..."

The girl silently picked up the teacup and put it to her lips.

"You are here to get credits, right?"

"No, no, no, I am really interested in your class, Master Berencastel..."

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now."

The girl raised her hand, interrupting the Goddess of Order's defense.

"You should know my identity."

"yes."

Having said that, the Goddess of Order also became serious.

"The second-ranked witch in the Senate, Berencastel - the witch of miracles."

“That’s why I’m here.”

The girl looked at the black tea in the cup, her expression not changing at all.

"Miracle, a synonym for nothingness and the unknowable, an existence beyond the imagination of order. Frankly speaking, I don't want to use this power, because once people expect miracles to appear, it means that the situation has reached a point where it cannot be reversed - just like now."

The girl put down her teacup and looked towards the Goddess of Order.

"Your existence itself is a miracle, and all of this is brought about by him."

"Eh? Are you watching him too?"

The Goddess of Order was surprised to hear the girl's answer.

"I have been following him, his different thoughts and actions. If you expect him to revive the Order, that is impossible."

"but……"

"We are already history that has disappeared into the dust."

The girl looked up and sighed silently.

"I know your thoughts very well, but I don't care. To me, the world is changing anyway. Our race will eventually perish one day, whether it's because of ourselves, chaos, or something else. It's all like this."

As she spoke, the girl tapped the teacup gently.

"He is a miracle, or the source of miracles. He appeared in this world miraculously, saved you miraculously, and gained the power to fight against chaos miraculously. However, you should be very clear that he is walking a completely different path from what you know. In fact, is this really a miracle? Is it accidental? Or is it inevitable?"

“…”

The Goddess of Order did not speak again. She hesitated for a long time before looking at the girl again.

"Lord Berencastel, the Order Clan, is it true that..."

"there is none left."

The girl obviously understood what she wanted to ask, shook her head slightly, and then stretched out her hand to point to the infinite darkness outside the window.

"What's there now is just a group of people who are barely surviving, with their wills twisted. They can never recover their original appearance. All I can do is quietly send them to the final abyss."

Having said that, the girl stretched out her hand to the Goddess of Order.

"So, I came to ask you for that."

"that?"

Hearing the girl's question, the Goddess of Order was stunned for a moment, then looked embarrassed.

"But, I originally planned to wait until he comes back to confirm..."

"What do you want to confirm?"

“…”

Although the girl only asked a faint question, the Goddess of Order did not speak again. She was silent for a moment, then stretched out her hand. Soon, a golden key appeared out of thin air and fell in front of Berencastelu.

"Lord Berencastel, I really don't know what is the right choice."

“You can ask him this question.”

The girl silently put away the key.

"I believe he will tell you that there is no right choice in this world."
