Chapter 69 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is Chapter 69 Ah ah ah I'm sorry
Since ancient times, a strange and unsolvable problem has appeared in human society at some point, that is -
I've been working all the time, but why do I keep getting more and more work?
It's true that Cheng Xiaoyu wants the golden medal of immunity from death. She also knows that the "golden medal of immunity from death" personally awarded by high-dimensional beings will come with some additional conditions, but these are nothing compared to life, and Cheng Xiaoyu can accept it.
But she didn't expect that the golden medal of immunity from death of the second high-dimensional creature was actually purchased in bulk!
The second high-dimensional creature sensed Cheng Xiaoyu's collapse and uttered four words in a white mist: [To be on the safe side] [The more the better] [Both parties benefit] [Each takes what they need]
Of course, there is a price to pay for such a heaven-defying thing as the Golden Medal of Immunity from Death. He has given out so many Golden Medals of Immunity from Death, and all he asks is to use this opportunity to help him advance the plot. What's more, neither the winery nor the zoo can pose a threat to Cheng Xiaoyu and those sorcerers. The No. 2 high-dimensional creature feels that this deal is very cost-effective and not excessive at all.
Cheng Xiaoyu admitted that this was indeed the truth, but said: "Why didn't you tell me before you did this? You've helped me a lot. If you want to use me to promote the plot, I won't refuse, but you should at least tell me!"
[The more you do, the more mistakes you make]
After the second higher-dimensional creature uttered a new word in the white mist, the emerald green leaves on the mountain began to tremble at a peculiar rhythm. Intermittently, they could hear the words Cheng Xiaoyu had spoken in the private room: "...No need to do anything...Shasha...We have our own detectives...Shasha...The higher-dimensional creatures...will argue for you."
To put it simply: If you are not professional in this area, you will easily mess up. It is better for you to let me do it. Just watch me operate and wait to be led by me.
Cheng Xiaoyu, struck by the boomerang of her own words, now had only one question: "Since you can speak, why don't you just talk to me directly? It's so troublesome to use fog to spell words and type in Morse code."
[I'd love to.]
High-dimensional creature No. 2 replied slowly.
[I've done what I need to do. Now you can do whatever you want. I believe you know what to do. Go for it.]
Cheng Xiaoyu was completely bewildered. "What are you doing? What are you trying to do? You didn't let me get involved in Beika Town Ekoda before, and now you're playing the Riddler and letting me do whatever I want? Okay, let's not talk about Kaito Kid, but it doesn't make sense for me, a pure magic player, to be pushing Beika Town's plot, does it?"
The second high-dimensional being asked back: [Is rejuvenation scientific?]
…So you knew that too!!
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Why don't you talk directly into my head?"
Otherwise, the conversation, which is like squeezing toothpaste, is really torturous.
The second high-dimensional creature did not answer. Instead, the white mist that covered the mountains quickly disappeared among the overlapping green leaves. The originally trembling leaves also drooped quietly again, and the surroundings fell into silence again.
No. 233: [His reaction has weakened. He seems to have hung up the phone and gone to sleep. I guess he used his administrator privileges too many times to connect you to the causal line. He needs to rest and recharge his mana.]
Cheng Xiaoyu: “…”
At this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu felt like those readers who saw that the comics they had followed for decades had to start a crazy stream of daily plots as soon as the main plot changed a little, and the author finally announced the suspension of publication at the most critical moment. He drew his sword and looked around in confusion.
So she really doesn't want to deal with higher-dimensional creatures!
......
On the other side, Kuroba Kaito, who was disguised as a waiter, found that the eavesdropping device he threw on the carpet did not receive any sound, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.
Could it be that the other party has already discovered him?
As the only person in the army of those who were exempt from death, with no background, the smallest team, and who obtained information the latest, by the time Kuroba Kaito arrived at the scene, the most critical and easiest-to-check boutique surveillance footage for him had already disappeared. At the beginning, he didn't even know what Cheng Xiaoyu looked like, let alone the pseudonym [Umekawa Kuko].
Before going to find Koizumi Akako, Kuroba Kaito had copied the surveillance footage of all the businesses in that commercial street for the past two days, intending to check them one by one through manpower later.
This is a huge project. Fortunately, Kuroba Kaito already knew that Edogawa Conan and others had the same goal as him, so he followed Edogawa Conan's investigation route and found a young woman whose route and characteristics completely matched the route from the thousands of passers-by.
What? Didn't Koizumi Akako give this clue to Tokyo Jujutsu High School?
It's not that Kaito Kuroba hadn't thought about staked out the Tokyo Jujutsu High School, but the problem was that according to Koizumi Akako, this area of the Tokyo Jujutsu High School had a special defense stance for the magic side. Not to mention whether he could get the tracker in, it was also hard to say whether the magic power on the tracker would trigger an alarm on the defense side and mistakenly mistake Kaito Kuroba for an enemy.
Even if Kuroba Kaito didn't take the tracker, that unscientific defensive force field would have let him in. Not to mention that there were cameras all around - although Kuroba Kaito didn't understand why the magic school had camera defense, he didn't know what the target looked like or what his name was, so he would be groping in the dark if he went in.
Moreover, the Tokyo Jujutsu High School is so huge that there is even a large forest behind it.
That would be fine, but the worst thing is that there is no fence around the school at all, and the gate is just a decoration. Kuroba Kaito doesn't even know where to hide.
Even the most effective trick in the past, which was to electrocute people and disguise them as moving around, was useless. Koizumi Akako had specifically reminded him that "the sorcerer could be knocked flying and crash through three buildings without dying, so don't even think about launching a sneak attack."
Therefore, for Kuroba Kaito, it is unrealistic to go directly to Tokyo Jujutsu High School. He must at least figure out who he is looking for first.
In the end, Kuroba Kaito's investigation and the magic props kindly provided by Koizumi Akako both pointed to a figure in the corner of the surveillance footage, which was the blurriest among several suspects.
The woman was dressed in black, and in all surveillance images she was either facing away from the camera or covering her face with a hat. In short, it was impossible to capture a clear frontal shot of her. It was obvious that she had a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness.
Although he still didn't know who the target was or what he looked like, Kuroba Kaito now had a photo, so he took this blurry photo to find Koizumi Akako and asked "Can you find someone related to her?"
This time, Koizumi Akako's search magic was so smooth that she exclaimed, "It was so smooth as if God was helping us." She immediately gave Kuroba Kaito the name of Geto Suguru and the information that he worked at Polo Coffee Shop.
When he heard the name of Polo Cafe, Kuroba Kaito had to admit that his heart and lung function stopped for a moment.
If his brain hadn't been hallucinating due to lack of oxygen from long-term lack of sleep, this coffee shop should be downstairs from the boarding house of the pretending young detective, and the blond, dark-skinned man in the illegal organization who was the undercover police officer and almost shot him on the train before also works there, right?
And the super scary guy with pink hair and squinty eyes who blocked him in the toilet cubicle last time and asked him to delete the photos also often appeared there.
A small coffee shop actually gathered many people that Kaito Kid usually avoids. When he discovered this, Kuroba Kaito thought that Amuro Toru had doubted Edogawa Conan's identity, and he was thinking about pretending to be Kudo Shinichi again to help him clear his suspicion and do him a favor.
So when Kuroba Kaito disguised himself and went to report the news, he got the answer from Edogawa Conan, "Don't bother, don't interfere in the affairs of those people anymore, or you will really die."
Kuroba Kaito actually laughed at that time.
What a joke, it's as if neither of us has ever gotten into trouble with a gang of outlaws.
I've pretended to be your real identity in front of your girlfriend several times. I even helped your brown-haired kid pretend to be her grown-up self and faked her death by being pointed at a gun and blown up by explosives. I even know the pseudonyms of several people on your side. What else can't I know?
Sometimes I really don't understand the train of thought of you detectives.
However, in other aspects, Kuroba Kaito could understand Edogawa Conan's idea of not wanting to involve himself and other innocent people in his fight that could cost their lives at any time, because he himself did not go directly to Edogawa Conan to ask for information for the same reason, because with his temperament, he would definitely not sit idly by if he heard it.
In this respect, the two of them are as similar as they really are to each other.
But Kuroba Kaito felt a little proud in his heart.
Look, the great detective still needs the help of a thief like me, and I have found out all the great detective's secrets, but he knows nothing about mine.
Kuroba Kaito had no intention of going near Polo Cafe. So many people in this cafe had some unpleasant memories with him. For a thief like him, it was like a mouse visiting a cat cafe - he couldn't wait to die.
So he chose to contact Geto Suguru in other ways, which led to the street show.
After so much effort, it was not until just now that Kuroba Kaito finally confirmed that the target was the lady with tied hair and no dark circles under her eyes through the compass hidden in his sleeve. He was able to seize the opportunity, slip into the grocery room in the corner, and send the appearance characteristics of these people in the form of text messages to old man Huang Zhisuke who was sitting in the back.
He planned to wait here, and when the target was alone, he would directly stop her and ask her, "What exactly do you mean by sending me a postcard?"
......
"...You've worked so hard. I hope you won't die suddenly here."
Cheng Xiaoyu felt that her mission this time was a bit in conflict with the utility room in Beika Town. The last time she came here, she met Edogawa Conan and Akai Shuichi in the utility room. This time, as soon as she appeared, she met Kuroba Kaito who was contacting his accomplices in the utility room.
She swore that she really didn't mean it. It was all the fault of the distortion of time and space. The blame must be put on the second high-dimensional creature.
"I won't die that easily." Kuroba Kaito almost lost his poker face. "So why did you send me that postcard? What was your purpose?"
Cheng Xiaoyu: "...I said I was playing Truth or Dare and I didn't even know it was addressed to your house when I sent the letter. Do you believe me?"
Kuroba Kaito: "Don't joke around at a time like this, miss."
But I am telling the truth!
What explanation do you want me to give you? Tell me, can I make it up on the spot? I am the best at writing scripts!
Cheng Xiaoyu was helpless and had to pass the buck: "Well, let me give you two options: Option one, I'm not human, I'm just a passing demon, and I sent you this postcard simply because of my demonic nature. Option two, your father sent me this letter in a dream to remind you to be cautious. Which one do you believe?"
Before Kuroba Kaito could get angry, the next sentence with an explosive amount of information immediately followed and bombarded Kuroba Kaito's brain: "Don't rush to scold me. Even though Hell is my hometown that I have rarely seen, I also know that it is very inappropriate to joke about the dead. But Kuroba Toichi is not dead."
The second high-dimensional creature wants to use her to push the plot, right? Then she will just crammed the plot into his head!
