Chapter 338: What did you steal, Belmode? Please give me a monthly ticket ()
The other side.
After Vermouth left, Jiang Xia sat up from the bed and yawned.
Just as he was about to get out of bed to retrieve his phone, the ghosts suddenly started muttering - Vermouth was back again, and brought with her a fresh and massive murderous aura that could be smelled from afar.
Jiang Xia glanced at the ghosts who were secretly wiping their mouths, then looked at the ghosts of his parents who quickly floated back and hugged him happily: "..."
Vermouth is really a person with a strong will...
…
According to Jiang Xia's observation, the way aura works is not to simply and crudely change a person's mind, but to leave an "excellent first impression" on the other person.
In layman's terms, this is similar to the principle of "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" - after Vermouth has a good impression of Jiang Xia, her brain will automatically discover the advantages of "Uzo" and can't help but magnify those advantages.
In this way, even if the aura disappears afterwards, as long as Jiang Xia does not do anything that is too damaging to people's worldview, that impression will still exist, because this is originally "the person's own idea."
And this process of changing thinking is hard to doubt:
It's like a person sitting at the table, intending to do something serious, but suddenly picks up his mobile phone and can't stop playing with it. When this happens, a normal person will only think that he lacks self-control, and will not think "someone is controlling my brain."
However, aura is certainly not omnipotent.
For example, this time, due to insufficient examples, Vermouth had doubts about Jiang Xia's true position, so her reason prevailed again and she decided to fight back to eliminate this threat... Her mental journey is probably equivalent to that of some people who think about life in front of a long bill after an impulse purchase.
Of course, fighting back is one thing, but whether you can really take action after fighting back is another matter entirely.
…
After dozens of seconds.
Wearing high heels and carrying the murderous aura that she had accumulated with great difficulty, Vermouth walked through the hotel corridor and skillfully pried open Jiang Xia's door.
The door opened with a click, and Vermouth flipped her hand, revealing a poison capsule between her fingers. She strode to the bedside, heading straight for Jiang Xia, who was sleeping peacefully there.
Then I walked slower and slower, slower and slower...
Finally, it stopped completely.
Vermouth: "..."
In fact, if you think rationally, her idea that "Uzo only treats cool guy as a toy and will kill cool guy immediately if he is about to leak the secret" actually has many loopholes.
——If he is really interested in the live case of "adults becoming small", then a truly dark person will definitely not refuse human research. He will not be like Usa, who only tolerates "Edogawa Conan" jumping in front of him all day long.
Vermouth: "..." Speaking of which, some people just like to pursue and protect things they don't have - like her who regards Angel and Cool Guy as her light, or maybe... like Uzo?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it would be a great help if Uzo could really reach an agreement with her.
——Angel is indeed reassuring, but Cool Guy’s habit of wanting to track down suspicious people without examining his own fighting ability is really worrying.
Vermouth is busy with important matters and is being watched by the FBI, so it is difficult for her to contact "Edogawa Conan", let alone provide protection to him.
But Uzo is different. If he could stop cool guy's dangerous actions... Then again, Vermouth thought secretly: cool guy can live smoothly until now, maybe Uzo has contributed a lot to it.
As she thought about it, Vermouth pressed her forehead, feeling very confused.
Fortunately, she has always been very active and will not be troubled by such things for too long.
Vermouth soon came up with her next plan.
——Since I am so confused because I am not sure about Usa’s position on the “Kudo Shinichi” issue, I might as well find out the real reason behind Usa’s change in attitude towards cool guy.
After calming down, Vermouth sat on the bed and thought carefully, and vaguely came up with an idea:
The reason why he was in a hurry to come back and kill Uzo just now was that he was worried that "acting late would cause the cool guy to be killed first."
...On the other hand, all she had to do was make sure Usa couldn't harm Kudo Shinichi before she found out the whole story.
Thinking of this, Vermouth turned around and looked at Jiang Xia lying on the bed, and suddenly everything became clear.
She went to the cleaning room next door, took something out, then reached into her huge shoulder bag and took out a pair of handcuffs.
With these, Vermouth returned to Jiang Xia's room.
…
On the other side, ten minutes ago.
Conan was riding a skateboard and hurrying on the road, holding up his cell phone, carefully trying to get information from Mouri Ran.
Just now, he called Kudo Yukiko immediately to see if his mother was playing a prank with Dr. Agasa's voice changer... However, he was disappointed to learn that Kudo Yukiko was in the United States. It wasn't her.
Conan had no choice but to contact Suzuki Sonoko instead.
Then she was relieved to learn that she was not silenced and that nothing happened to Mao Li Ran - the guy who called her with Mao Li Ran's voice was indeed not her.
In addition, Conan also received another terrible news - Mao Lilan received a call from Kudo Shinichi using Jiang Xia's mobile phone.
Conan silently got goosebumps.
Obviously, the guy who called was someone who could change his voice, knew that Kudo Shinichi was still alive, and even knew that "Kudo Shinichi" was "Edogawa Conan"! ——Even if she didn't know it before, she must have known the situation after making these two calls.
Moreover, although he had clearly used Jiang Xia's phone, neither Mao Lilan nor he had heard Jiang Xia speak...
The 1T suspense detective action movie that Conan had imagined before suddenly turned into a heroic tragedy.
Fortunately, since Xiaolan and Sonoko are fine now, it means that the guy who teased them is unlikely to be a member of the Black Organization. This kind of prank that scares people into a cold sweat, but does not directly kill people, is more like those mysterious "Anonymous" than the Black Organization...
But no matter what, it is impossible to abandon Jiang Xia in an unknown situation - no one can guarantee that Anonymous will always be a good person, what if there is a pervert with evil tastes among them.
Conan thought about it, hung up the phone, and called Dr. Agasa instead: "Doctor, have you received any strange calls from Jiang Xia?"
"Hmm? No." In Beika Town in the distance, Dr. Agasa touched his smoking hair and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
As he was speaking, Conan slid to a red light intersection.
He stopped his skateboard and waited for the red light while talking on the phone - now he had no idea where to find anyone, so he was not in a hurry to get on the road.
"Someone just called me and Xiaolan using Jiang Xia's number. That person can imitate our voices at will." Conan frowned and asked, "Have you sold your voice changers to anyone recently?"
