Chapter 69: Day 69
Chapter 69
After hearing Kanako's words, Makoto was shocked and hesitated.
As a cursed spirit born from the hatred and fear between humans, it has been aware of its own uniqueness since its birth not long ago.
Not only do they have an appearance that is almost indistinguishable from that of humans, but they also have an innate understanding of human nature. They know that they are different.
Therefore, it can easily identify what kind of evil thoughts some humans have hidden beneath their bright and beautiful appearance.
Hypocrisy, greed, selfishness, lying... and many more words can be used to describe it, too many to count.
Disgusting humans, humans that disgusted it from the depths of its soul...
But it is also humans who can bring it infinite curiosity and endless fun.
The real person freely wanders in this contradictory mood, and finds it very interesting to entertain himself.
Considering that it was born not long ago and is not yet familiar with its own abilities, it naturally focuses its fun on humans.
At this stage, it regards humans as experimental tools.
"You possess a...very beautiful technique."
A man with a black stitch on his forehead approached the real person and told him the exact name of his special ability.
The real person reached out to touch him without a care in the world, and his arm was easily cut off.
During the few seconds of waiting for his arm to recover, the real person suddenly perked up and did not hide the enthusiasm in his eyes at all.
"Hey, who are you?"
For the first time, he discovered something more fun than capturing weak humans for experiments, and Zhenren impatiently inquired about the man's identity.
The man with black stitching covered his face and did not respond. Instead, he asked, "Do you want to kill more humans?"
The real person shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Of course, but humans who are so weak that they can only run around are too boring. I'm tired of seeing them running around."
"Don't worry," Black Suture said, "I can assure you..."
"I will definitely not let you down."
Judging from the results, I'm not disappointed...but I didn't say it would be this exciting?
Back to reality, Zhenren tried to get up several times, but was knocked down by Kanako unilaterally.
Real person: "?" Bar ⒈48 B flow 963
It's like playing a real-life version of the Whack-A-Mole game. As soon as the mole shows signs of popping out, Kanako will use her fist instead of a hammer to smash the mole into the hole.
This process was repeated several times, and it perfectly triggered the real people's playful mood and competitive spirit.
It began to expand the scope of the game to the entire room and even the entire floor without permission.
The real person who can transform at will can move freely in all kinds of unexpected gaps. It excitedly suppressed its smile, as if it had already won.
Unexpectedly, Kanako was always able to pull it out within three seconds.
Always, always, without exception.
No matter from which angle you look at it: physical strength, soul, and super-sensitive five senses.
The night rabbit-like creatures that have the ability to adapt to cursed energy have become beings that transcend the rules of the curse world. They are world-class products with potential that surpasses heaven and curses.
"You have to face my problem, Masamune."
Once again, he was caught and pinned to the ground, and Kanako grabbed him like a cat playing with a mouse.
She said innocently, "You don't believe it? You'd rather believe that suture curser than me?"
The real person smiled maliciously: "Yes~"
Of course, neither of them believed it.
The only truth that human society gives to real people is - the human mouth is a liar!
Kanako expressionlessly let go of her hand, stood up, dusted off her clothes, and unilaterally announced the end of the whack-a-mole and cat-and-mouse games.
"Let's not dwell on your amnesia for now." She yawned. "Real man, you don't trust anyone, so you definitely won't side with Sutures, right?"
"Why don't you tell me what the truth is about Teitan Elementary School and Beika Town?"
"No way!" The real person grinned rebelliously.
Kanako suddenly fell silent and looked intently into Masato's eyes.
"I'll give you one last chance—you'll do your best to tell the truth, right?"
At this time, the real person was still arrogantly retorting: "Even if I don't say it, what can you do to me?"
“?” Kanako tilted her head, feeling a little confused.
She knew that the true form of a real person was a soul, and that he had the ability to observe other souls to a certain extent.
In other words, in Kanako's view, Masato was completely based on the information that he knew he could not beat her, but he still argued with her with a leisurely look on his face.
Why would he argue with her? Is he not afraid of the strong? Impossible. The law of the jungle among cursed spirits is even more severe than that of humans. So...
In an instant, Kanako remembered a special training she had just participated in at the technical high school not long ago.
The special training time is very short, and it is all theoretical knowledge. The instructors are quite special, namely Yuki Kyuu, Shoko Ieiri, and Meimei.
Plus the An singer who was watching and eating melons.
They sat facing each other and sighed, "As expected, Kanako is a sadist."
"How can I better practice sadism?"
They discussed strange topics seriously!
Kujuku Yuki was curious: "Is it her nature? Or did you guys at the academy intentionally cultivate her into this kind of personality?"
Ieiri Naoko refused to take the blame, looking melancholy: "We raised her strictly according to the standards of a Disney princess, holding her in the palm of our hands, so it must be her nature."
Jiujiu Yuki: "...The full name of the Disney Princess you mentioned better not be the type of standard that makes the Disney Princess fall in love at first sight."
Mingming concluded: "Oh, so all Disney princesses are M."
An Geji choked on her water. "Where did you come up with this ridiculous conclusion? And there's a warning letter from Disney's lawyers!"
Mingming understood clearly: "She can use her personality to create a strong advantage. Isn't the S attribute also one of her abilities?"
An Utahime: "But these days, no one would train to be a sadist!... I mean, in terms of exorcising cursed spirits!"
"A new era deserves a brand new training program." Ieiri Naoko patted her shoulder. "Even that old, rotten orange technique is keeping up with the times. What reason do you have not to work hard?!"
An Utahime: "Glass, why are you making such a passionate statement about something that is full of loopholes?!"
Amidst the noise, Kujukuyuki looked meaningfully at the girl chewing candy next to him and said, "Kanako-san, your quirk is your weapon."
"Please give full play to your strengths, don't hold back." Kujuku Yuki raised his fist, "Use S on this world!"
Returning to reality from memory, Kanako applied this theory to actual combat for the first time and gained a deep understanding.
"You don't have to tell me now. I will know it sooner or later." Kanako looked at Masato.
"I will...find the truth in a way that satisfies both parties."
Her voice was clear and loud, echoing throughout the entire fifth floor.
Conan in the security room immediately regained his composure when he heard the word "truth".
What about Kudo Shinichi's identity, the cursed spirit that grew into a human and could speak human language? All those things can be put aside for now, they are not important!
He flipped a button, turned off the activation mode of the power-boosting shoes, and prepared to rush to Kanako's side.
Just before he was about to step out of the security room, the system flew over in a panic, floated in front of the door and opened its hand to stop him.
"Wait a moment, Conan-kun!" The system glanced out frantically, "I think... as an elementary school student, you are a little flower that needs protection. You shouldn't witness such a bloody and violent scene!"
There were bursts of rumbling sounds coming from outside, and the whole teaching building shook.
The system screamed in fear: "Ahhhhh, you just need to be Kanako's external brain. Let Kanako do the interrogation!"
Conan: ...
Sometimes you call him a kite, sometimes you call him an external brain. Aren’t you two doing the same thing?
After an unknown amount of time, Kanako came back playing with her beloved Xiao Youyun.
She put her head close to the door, a thin streak of bright red blood on her face. "Conan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting! You can come over now."
It doesn't look like her own blood at all.
The system screamed: "You didn't wipe your face clean!!"
Kanako uttered an "Ah" and scraped it off with her thumb: "It's no big deal. The amount of blood in the murders Conan usually sees must be much more than this, right?"
No, the point is not the amount of bleeding.
But it was the image that came to mind after seeing the bloodstain... Conan was a little afraid to imagine the scene in the corridor.
But he still set off, following Kanako step by step with great calmness.
Go out and turn left.
That overly bloody scene did not appear before his eyes. Only the cursed spirit that looked like a human was lying on a collapsed open space.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
The system flew to the open space, pushed the real person to the side, moved his back against the wall, and forced him to sit up.
Kanako was in a good mood as she ruffled the straight blue hair of Zhenren and tied it into a bow.
Then, touching her head, Kanako said happily, "Good boy, good boy."
system:"……"
Conan: “…”
What happened between these two guys? Did they chat for two extra chapters while they weren't paying attention?
“Sutures…sutures.” Masato muttered, hugging his knees. “It’s all his fault. He did it all!”
"Hey—" Kanako couldn't help but be confused, "This is really strange. Logically, I have hidden it very well. No one would notice my strength and deliberately target me, right?"
What's more, Tianyuan is now in a cooperative relationship with her and will help Gao Zhuan to hide it from the general directorate.
She didn't say the rest of the sentence aloud.
The curse master with sutures on his forehead, the bastard who occupied Geto Suguru's body in the future of a parallel world, would not rely on this method even if he wanted to attack her.
Judging from their previous experience together, the curse master seemed to have his own set of theories and would not arbitrarily regard Kanako as a sorcerer or an enemy of humanity.
Suture's train of thought is even more bizarre, similar to: Why should I assume that "Kanako" cannot be my teammate?
Even if he had already identified Kanako as an enemy, he would not resort to such a desperate measure to kill Kanako. Instead, he would play the long game and adopt a conservative infiltration method like the plan to seal Gojo Satoru.
To sum up, Kanako couldn't figure out the real purpose of Suture using Teitan Elementary School and Beika Town.
System: "It's probably not targeting you. It's just that the curser was unlucky and ran into you. His target is someone else."
"But I really can't think of anything special about a school full of ordinary people except you..." The system shook its head in confusion.
Yes, apart from the fact that murders happen everywhere, is there anything special about this place?
Ah… homicide.
As Kanako thought about it, she suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"
She grabbed Conan's hand, and Conan, bewildered, heard: "Cursed power comes from negative emotions, and Beika Town, where murders are frequent, has gathered more curse power than other areas."
"Many cursed spirits will be born from the curse, and the more curses there are, the stronger they are!" she said concisely.
"...Then how was it born?" Conan subconsciously pointed at the real person.
Masato leaned against the wall, dying, and remained silent. Kanako answered for him, "It's a cursed spirit born from the hatred and fear between people."
Click.
It was as if a laser beam had entered Edogawa Conan's mind.
He pushed up his glasses, and in the dim moonlight, the lenses suddenly flashed dazzlingly.
"If my understanding of the field of exorcism is not too wrong, the truth is gradually becoming clear..." Conan had a flash of inspiration, "I have guessed the deeper true purpose of the instigator!"
Kanako:?
system:?
How did you know this again?
Conan has not yet announced the answer, but instead asked the real person several progressive questions for verification.
Kanako was so shocked by Conan's words that her jaw kept dropping and her mouth opened wider and wider.
So she said seriously, "Conan, can I take a picture of you and make it into a poster?"
"?" Conan was confused.
"It's on the wall of my room. I pray to it every time before an exam." Kanako clasped her hands together devoutly and shouted, "Bless me with wisdom for the English exam! Fail Conan!!! (It's hard to fail the exam)"
“You’ll definitely pass this way!”
The system complained: "Study English well!!!"
