Chapters 3615 & 3627 [Attacked] Requesting monthly votes ヽ(〃〃)~
Although in the eyes of most ordinary citizens, "Kid" is a mysterious phantom thief who has been running rampant for many years, in reality, the current second Kid is just a high school student who is not so mature psychologically.
Faced with such a high-profile challenge, Kaito Kuroba couldn't possibly refuse. And once he decided to take action, Kid and his grandfather Terai would begin scouting the area from various angles.
In other words, if you can't find him at home, you can easily find him by taking a stroll around the Suzuki family's museum.
Jiang Xia wasn't in a hurry. He drove the enormous Wuyun Taxue Cat, enjoying the feeling of speeding through the shadows of the city.
As he was running towards the museum, he suddenly realized something, paused, and quietly changed direction.
Half a minute later.
A black panther stepped over the wall and silently walked to the end of the alley, quietly looking down.
A young female lawyer, dressed in a suit and black wig, was standing with her back to us, as if waiting for someone.
Jiang Xia: "..." What a coincidence, why do I keep running into her lately?
Is it because summer is here, and it's a good time to stock up on cooling aloe vera to make tea?
...
Curaçao was unaware of the dark figure silently approaching from behind.
She yawned wearily as she waited for someone, and couldn't help but think of that awful game from last night.
The developers of this game don't seem to be profit-driven. This has resulted in everything from marketing and distribution to purchasing being very different from typical games.
It wasn't until last night when I started the game that I discovered that the theme of this new chapter was actually a school ghost story.
This stirred something within Curaçao, who felt he was getting a little closer to Uzo's secret—as everyone knows… no, it should be said that everyone in the Passersby Mutual Aid Society who had seen the materials with Vodka knew that Uzo almost never went to school.
Only on exam days would this guy make a point of going out for a stroll and come back with some really discouraging grades to maintain his student status.
"If this new chapter were based on the days when Uzo was still diligently studying, that would be great—the younger a person is, the less experience they have, and the easier it is for them to slip up when doing things... The current Uzo is hard to defeat, but the old him might have shown some flaws."
With that in mind, Curaçao happily clicked on the link.
Then his expression gradually became blank, his brows furrowed, and his eyes tightened... Finally, he slapped the game controller in his hand and smashed it.
What kind of nonsense is this game spouting?! Even if it's not for making money, they can't just come up with this kind of garbage setting!!
"What on earth is this senior student? She has 10,000 health points, but when I hit her, she only takes away 1 point of health. But when she kicks me, my health bar is instantly reduced to zero??"
...Well, with 10,000 precise clicks and dodges, it's not entirely impossible to achieve if I go all out.
Curaçao rallied, her two differently colored eyes fixed intently on the screen, clicking away with all her might. She persisted for over two hours, and just as her senior had only 10 health points left, "Jiang Xia" suddenly placed his hand on her shoulder, a small bubble appearing above her head: [Darling, don't always try to solve problems with violence.]
Immediately following, a CG image popped up showing a worried and disapproving expression.
Curaçao's hand trembled, and she failed to dodge the next attack, getting kicked in the body by her senior, instantly reducing her health bar to zero.
The second controller also broke down with a snap.
After a 10-minute break, and after giving the creator and Jiang Xia a thorough dressing-down, Curacao finally connected to the new machine with a miserable expression, took a deep breath, and started running the map again.
"...I must have missed some important item. I should look for it again. If I get that item, I might be able to take them down in an instant."
Curaçao searched carefully and found a movable prop in the sports storage room: a set of desks and chairs.
She picked up a chair and headed to the library, intending to bypass the senior student and search inside.
However, upon seeing the chair on her shoulder, the gatekeeper suddenly flashed an angry "#" sign on her forehead, and her health bar surged. Before Curaçao could react, a phantom figure rushed in front of her, kicked her, and the screen went gray.
Curaçao: "..."
She spent the entire night competing with her senior.
When I came to my senses, it was already dawn.
Curaçao fell into a brief silence as he gazed at the rising sun.
She temporarily put aside the damn game, quickly washed up, and began her day as "Attorney Shirai".
Fortunately, there were no dangerous or important tasks today... Of course, if there were, she wouldn't dare play games all night long.
Now, having snapped out of that annoying game, Curaçao yawned sleepily and finally began to piece together the various pieces of information.
"Among the protagonist's teammates, there is a handsome doctor with a smile... Why does his appearance look so much like the guy Vermouth is pretending to be?"
"So the origin of this game isn't Jiang Xia's past, but rather recent events?"
Just then, Curaçao noticed a strange shadow on the ground out of the corner of her eye.
She glanced at it, and her expression changed drastically.
...
A black panther, out of place in the urban landscape, perched on the wall, intently watching the murderous aura emanating from below.
I don't know what Aloe was thinking at the time, but her murderous aura swelled up even more intensely than yesterday, almost matching that of Boss Amuro when he was face to face with Shuichi Akai.
Watching the swirling, murderous aura around Curaçao suddenly expand, then slowly contract, and then expand again, a leopard paw gripping the wall unconsciously twitched.
After a moment, thinking that Black Panther couldn't stand the light of day, and neither could the organization's cadres, and that even if Curaçao saw something, she wouldn't call the police, Jiang Xia simply activated the cat puppet at its maximum power, pushed off the ground, and pounced over.
Just as he was about to pin Curaçao down with a claw, the person, who was covered in murderous aura, suddenly turned to the side and grabbed him with one hand.
She probably intended to grab something like an arm, but all she got was a glossy, smooth piece of fur. The instant they made contact, Curaçao's expression clearly changed, but she didn't stop. She filled the gap with her other hand, used all her strength, and with a sudden twist of her waist, threw the pouncing black panther away with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Jiang Xia: "...?"
Just before landing, Black Panther did a somersault in mid-air and landed steadily.
Jiang Xia, having managed to control his four legs, looked at his colleague with slight surprise: although he hadn't set the puppet's power too high to avoid giving the person a concussion with a slap... this aloe vera plant reacted way too quickly.
She pretends to be a lawyer all the time; I almost forgot that she's actually quite a capable person.
...If that's the case, isn't her life a little too mundane right now?
A concerned official stroked his chin and began to ponder silently.
