Chapter 189 Not That Scientific
189.
Hmm... Hmm... How should I put it...
You stood in the room behind the hall, your eyes squeezed into squints, and you could not see any "charming figure like a girl" or "the luster of the first ray of moonlight shining on the sea" from the gems in the glass display case.
You think this stone is pretty and shiny, and if you put it outside it will probably attract crows that like it.
But if you were asked to spend tens of millions to buy it... then you can only sigh and say, no wonder gems are only for the rich, you will never have this kind of hobby in your life.
You prefer gold to gemstones. It shines brightly in the sun and is a powerful hard currency. You buy some and store it at home. This tangible and visible sense of wealth is fascinating.
But many wealthy people think that gold is a vulgar thing... Alas, I hope they can give you the vulgar things they dislike, preferably when the price of gold is the highest, and also give you a safe and a large check.
That's right, you can eat and take it at the same time.
"I'm sure I can catch the thief Kid this time!" The old man with a fiery beard stood at the door and said excitedly to another person, "I'm fully prepared this time, and I won't allow you to stop me!"
"Your method won't catch Kidd at all!" Nakamori Ginzo retorted unhappily, "We are the police who will catch Kidd in the end!"
"Huh huh huh, what do you know?" Suzuki Jirokichi twirled his beard and replied somewhat proudly, "This time, I have laid a dragnet around the area to ensure that Kidd never comes back! The first is this showcase..."
"Ah... Uncle is here again..." Suzuki Sonoko sighed helplessly, "Really, how could Mr. Kidd be caught so easily?"
She clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling: "That's Mr. Kidd~"
That's true, you stood by and nodded in agreement. After all, he is the god who ensures the survival rate of rice flowers. If the police want to arrest him, they have to see whether the locals agree.
But... you looked at Suzuki Jirokichi who was arguing fiercely with the police, and scratched your head. It felt like this old man didn't really want to catch Kid...
Knowing that Kidd has the ability to disguise himself, why does he always tell everyone about his layout before the exhibition? This is a clear sign in the game Landlord.
Isn't this just trying to lower the difficulty for people?
You shook your head, said something to the three people who planned to stay and catch Kid, and then retreated to the exhibition hall outside, chewing cheesecake while visiting the swords on display.
To make it easier for others to identify and appreciate the swords, there is a small label under each exhibition cabinet introducing the name and origin of the swords.
You looked around and realized that you didn't recognize any of the other swords except Horikawa!
This is normal... You put down your empty plate and look away guiltily. After all, all you know about swords is from games.
Occasionally, Nankai Taro Choson would hold a "Sword Knowledge Class", but you wouldn't pay any attention when you went there... But the red bean taiyaki that Azuki Nagamitsu prepared specifically for the class to replenish sugar was delicious.
You smacked your lips, missing the taste a bit. Why not go back and log in to eat some tonight? I just don't know if I can exit or load the game if I'm stuck in the task submission scene...
"Bang!"
The lights in the exhibition hall went out.
Ah... I guess it's the thief Kidd. You walk to the wall in the dark and squat down, making sure you won't be dragged into the battle to capture Kidd.
The next second, a white figure jumped into the exhibition hall and jumped up and down in the room.
Following behind him was Ginzo Nakamori, and behind him were a group of ordinary policemen who were slow to react and had no day off.
"Monster Thief Kidd--" Nakamori Ginzo, who was relentlessly chasing the white figure, threatened the white figure in front of him, "You can't run away, just surrender!"
Suzuki Jirokichi, who was the last to catch up, ran two steps and then stopped. He reached out from the darkness and shouted triumphantly, "You've fallen into the trap, the thief Kid—"
Several steel pipes suddenly fell from the ceiling, blocking the white figure's way forward and retreat, forming a cage with no escape.
Almost at the same time as the cage was formed, the extinguished lights came back on.
"Hehehe, everything I said in the small room just now was a lie." Suzuki Jirokichi laughed. "You didn't expect that this time I would join forces with the police... huh?"
Nakamori Ginzo turned the "person" in the cage over and shouted in disbelief: "Fake... fake person?! When did... the damn thief Kidd!"
"He must still be here!"
The only exit of the exhibition hall was blocked by a trap. If he escaped through the window, the police outside would definitely find him.
Nakamori Ginzo looked at the other people in the exhibition hall and said sternly, "Search!"
You squatted in the corner and sighed: When will this farce end? But today doesn't seem to be the kind of day with many big scenes... According to the forum classification, this should be a daily drama?
It's a good thing. If nothing goes wrong, you will be able to go home and play games soon.
The result was naturally an accident as expected.
"You must be the thief Kidd!"
Seeing Nakamori Ginzo stop in front of you, you looked up blankly, first looking left and right, and after confirming that the other party was talking to you, you pointed at yourself hesitantly and in disbelief: "Me? Me? I am the phantom thief Kidd?"
Well...then you are pretty awesome!
"Ha, you're the only stranger here. When everyone else is panicking, you're squatting here calmly. Do you think we won't find you?" Nakamori Ginzo pointed at his eyes, "Hehe... these little details can't escape my eyes!"
"If you want to prove yourself, you can..." Ginzo Nakamori, who has already determined that you are Kidd, stretched out his hands, ready to move, "Let me pinch your face."
"No."
You covered your face and took a step back. People on the forum said that this police officer had great strength in pinching people's faces. A game geek like you with an unbalanced diet is very afraid of pain.
"You're not Kidd, why are you hiding?" Nakamori Ginzo looked at you with increasing excitement, "Just surrender!"
"I think..." You took another step to the side and said timidly, "Compared to me, officer, why don't you talk to the gentleman behind you who has been trying to hold back his laughter from the beginning?"
Hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo turned around and squinted at the policeman behind him: "Yamashita, are you laughing?"
"Report, I didn't laugh."
"Then let me ask you..." Nakamori Ginzo said, "How many buns did you eat this morning? Three or five?"
“…Five.”
"That's right, but..." Nakamori Gin threw the ball over and began to pinch the other person's face, "Yamashita had fried dumplings this morning, Phantom Thief Kid, let's see how you run away..."
The rest of the police also rushed over to provide support in the arrest of Ginzo Nakamori.
But you feel like this is more like adding to the chaos... Didn't they notice that the person caught by Nakamori Ginzo was no longer "Yamashita"?
After taking off the disguise of "Yamashita" and putting on the thief costume again, Kid stood in the middle of the exhibition hall, lowered his hat, and saluted elegantly to others: "As the notice said, today's gems will be taken away by me, the thief Kid."
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes have turned into red hearts: "Ah - Mr. Kidd - so handsome -"
Many people also shouted: "Wow - he's even more handsome in person than in the newspaper! Will Kidd be on the front page again tomorrow?"
You see, after hearing this, Jirokichi Suzuki suddenly bent down, as if he had been shot by an arrow: "But... Damn Kidd... The front page where I found Kunihiro Horikawa and bought new gems is gone again..."
Kidd slowly retreated to the window, and before Nakamori Gin flipped over, he quickly flipped out - the posture was quite handsome, and it could be learned, but it was still no match for the cat man who loved to climb walls.
The "special program" of the exhibition is over, so can you leave now? You touch your bulging belly with satisfaction, you are full and have saved another dinner.
"Huh? Are you leaving now?" Mao Lilan was a little surprised. "I also wanted to ask ○-san to have dinner together tonight... Sorry, is there something important? See you next time."
Good... what a considerate child. You really can't say that you want to go home and play games to satisfy your hunger. You can only nod and admit under the gentle gaze of the other party: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Xiaolan."
"Hey, are you leaving?" Suzuki Sonoko yawned, "See you next time... Strange, I suddenly feel so sleepy..."
Mao Lilan cast a disapproving look: "Sonoko, were you too excited to fall asleep yesterday?"
"Hahahaha... How... How is that possible? How many times have I met Mr. Kidd?"
"Are you leaving?" After disappearing for a while, Conan Edogawa reappeared and said in a childish voice, "Hey, Sister Xiaolan, can I go and see you off?"
Conan Edogawa paused. Wait, is this guy a man or a woman? It's impossible to tell from his appearance! Xiaolan and the others didn't use any gender-related words, they just called him "○-san" and "○-san".
He naturally skipped the question of addressing her: "Is it okay, Sister Xiaolan?"
"this……"
Mao Lilan looked at you a little embarrassedly. Although you haven't met many times, she was keenly aware of your... well, should I say disdain for Edogawa Conan?
Fearing that the god of death would hold a grudge against you, you nodded in agreement with tears in your eyes.
Edogawa Conan, who said he would send you off, really just sent you off, and didn't say anything along the way - of course, you didn't know that the other party was struggling with the issue of addressing you and didn't say it out loud for a long time.
Before you were about to get on the elevator, he stopped you and asked the question he wanted to ask: "Um...how did you recognize the thief Kid?"
"Well..." You stepped into the elevator, turned around and looked at Conan Edogawa, and answered naturally, "Because there is light on him."
"Light?" Edogawa Conan was confused, "What light?"
"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you." You waved your hands and pressed a button. "Next time... uh, I hope we won't meet again."
"Kudo Shinichi."
Noticing the other person's pupils vibrating in disbelief, you feel relieved - even if you are eventually recorded by the God of Death, it doesn't matter, because you are happy now.
You just want to see the face of the Grim Reaper, the face of disbelief at the outrageous words of a passerby character like you.jpg
You didn't lie... You can indeed see the light. You have been able to see the light in different people since you were a child.
If I have to describe it, it's that everyone has a layer of blurred soft light edges, but the color and brightness of the light will be different on different people.
You had seen Kudo Shinichi once in a distance a long time ago, and you were sure at that time that he was a different being - it was the first time you saw two colors of light, a supreme blend of black and gold.
And you saw the same light in Conan Edogawa, but the black color accounted for a larger proportion.
Your parents know that you are special, but they didn't show anything unusual. Instead, they said it was quite normal. Although this world is very scientific, there are sometimes unscientific parts.
"Red magic... is that what it's called?" said your father, who was playing with your toys. "It still has some offensive power, but the mysterious test is getting weaker, so you don't have to worry about being affected."
Your mother was more direct: "As my child, isn't it normal for you to be special? If you were ordinary like other children, I would look down on you."
Well, it doesn't matter, your mother looks down on everyone equally.
When I got back to the apartment, the others had already left.
There was fresh food in the refrigerator, and a handwritten note from Morobushi Jingguang was stuck on the table - in short, they were investigating the mass sleeping incident, and asked you to heat up the food for lunch tomorrow, and not to order takeout.
But who can predict what will happen tomorrow, right?
You were about to get on board, but before you put on your helmet, you suddenly felt very sleepy.
Oh no...you won't be infected with sleeping sickness, right?
You were ready to put on your helmet and start the sleep mode before going to sleep, but you couldn't fight the drowsiness and fell asleep on the bed with your head tilted.
…
"I guessed right, He will sleep here."
"Tsk, he must have just found a random place to lie down after some nonsense... Hurry up and wake him up."
"Hey - you have to be honest sometimes. Weren't you super nervous when you were looking for someone just now?"
So noisy...
You slowly opened your eyes and saw a man with purple hair, which was braided in front of his shoulders. Behind him stood another white-haired man with an unhappy look on his face.
"Hey, are you awake?" He smiled and raised his hand to greet you. "Did you have an interesting dream just now? You kept talking about building a factory to get gold coins and having a good meal... Did you come up with some interesting concept again?"
"Ashem."
"ah……"
Looking at the person in front of you, you feel both strange and familiar, even a little absurd. Looking around, you always feel that you shouldn't be here...
So where should you be? You wondered vaguely, you should...
Oh, by the way, you just stopped a volcano from erupting on an island. The grapes there are really delicious. Now you should find a good place under the sun and share the grapes with your good friends.
"No, I just wanted to show you this - jingle! Super delicious grapes."
"Oh, square grapes with angles? Oh, that's amazing. Who came up with this new concept?"
"...You're going to stop a volcano from erupting just for this?"
"But this is really delicious...right? Hythrad."
"Well, come and try it, the newly appointed Emet-Selch."
“Hmm…Hmm!”
Soon, you and Hythloda were hunted down by the enraged Hades.
As you run and laugh happily, you think: Is it because I have traveled too much recently? Otherwise, why is my mind so messy?
You need to have a good rest today.
