Chapter 447

"Are all of you back?" In the vast sea of ​​stars, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was guarding the 'Gate', carefully counted the number of people, and then locked the passage of the 'Gate' to other worlds. "BB, activate the Servant Summoning System in Antarctica, and put the Spiritual Base Projection into that Chaldea according to the list of staff registered in Antarctica."

"By the way, Mr. Kagemitsu." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu who came back first, "When are you going to retrieve the projections that were left there?"

"We discussed it and decided that it would be better to wait for the Chaldea explosion for the Demon Rupture to automatically recover it." Morobushi Kagemitsu replied to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "After all, Zero is busy with something very important - and, for us, even this kind of interaction is rare... If it doesn't affect the plan, let's stay with the squad leader for a while longer."

"Ah, speaking of Officer Date—" Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked, and after hesitating for a moment, he continued, "He is probably the only one among the five of you who cannot ascend to the Throne of Heroes. Although Gin was dragged to the Throne of Heroes by Moriarty, he is not an orthodox Heroic Spirit, so the requirements are not that strict... However, Gin is indeed more famous than Officer Date."

"Officer Date can only be a phantom at best - just like Muichiro's brother... or similar to Nobukatsu in the past, he needs to be tied to the spirit base of a related person to follow the real world; if he wants to appear in the real world independently, he needs to obtain other spirit bases to supplement it like Nobukatsu..."

"If you don't care so much about the normal way of manifesting, you can make him into an Alterego—"

Before Lancermello could finish his words, he was interrupted by three people in unison.

"Forget about Alterego!!!"

"Besides, although it's not good to isolate the squad leader..." Morofushi Kagemitsu smiled embarrassedly and looked at Matsuda Jinpei.

"But wouldn't it be nice to have a world where the squad leader didn't die like us?" A soft smile appeared on Jinpei Matsuda's usually cool face.

"But it's obvious that Kofuru relied on his fame to get to the Throne of Heroes." Hagiwara Kenji tried to hold back his laughter, his eyes narrowed into slits, "After all, with a face like that, it's hard not to be famous. It seems that it's us three who have benefited from him and can try to reach the threshold of fame to become a Heroic Spirit."

At the same time, the first intelligence exchange meeting organized by Conan Edogawa officially began in the Chaldea Entertainment Room.

"Thief Kid!?!"

The moment Edogawa Conan pulled the thief Kid into the entertainment room, the Japanese Public Security Bureau, FBI, CIA, and MI6 present all showed somewhat surprised expressions.

"Mr. Akai, who is this...?" Conan Edogawa, who was pulling Thief Kid into the entertainment room, looked at the blonde woman who was standing far away from the crowd and wearing a wide-brimmed round hat.

"My mother." Akai Shuichi answered Conan Edogawa's question succinctly, "Didn't you say you didn't see Holmes and Moriarty?"

"...Then everyone is here now." Edogawa Conan nodded, and looked straight at Thief Kid, who was standing farthest from the adults. "Before we start exchanging information, I want to confirm one thing with Thief Kid. The 'Pandora' you wrote on the notice letter you sent to Chaldea this time - it's not a gem, right, Thief Kid?"

"It was a woman with ruby ​​eyes—Alicefiel von Einzbern."

"You are indeed a famous detective." The Phantom Thief Kidd crossed his arms and sat down on the sofa. "I never thought that the gem I was looking for was not actually a 'gem'."

"...Have you heard of the 'perpetual motion machine'?" Conan Edogawa asked softly, looking into the blue eyes of the Phantom Thief Kid, which were exactly the same as his own.

"...Where did you know about the 'perpetual motion machine', detective?" The Phantom Thief Kidd asked Conan Edogawa while maintaining his poker face.

——Unfortunately, Thief Kid did hear Amakusa Shiro talk about the third method.

"Heaven's Feel, its effect is the materialization of the soul." On the night when Amakusa Shiro invited the Phantom Thief Kid to Goryokaku, the Black Phantom Thief explained the difference between magic and sorcery to the White Phantom Thief, and explained a certain magic to him in particular, "In other words, it is a magic that achieves complete immortality."

"On the day of completion, the soul will become a perpetual motion machine, and an endless source of magic power will be obtained. Therefore, magicians sometimes call this magic a 'perpetual motion machine'."

"...Mr. Amuro." Edogawa Conan turned his head and looked at Furuya Rei who provided the information about the "perpetual motion machine".

"I want to confirm first, what is the effect of 'Pandora'?" Furuya Rei looked at the Phantom Thief Kid and asked cautiously.

"From what I know, the original legend is this -" The Phantom Thief Kidd took out an Ace of Hearts to represent Pandora, and posed as he usually does when checking gems under the moonlight, "There is a comet that approaches the Earth once every 10,000 years. When the comet approaches the Earth, if you point the Pandora's Stone at the full moon, a tear will fall. As long as you swallow this tear, you will be able to live forever."

"It's different from the organization's purpose." Akai Shuichi looked at Furuya Rei.

"... You don't have to remind me, FBI." Furuya Rei turned around and glared at Akai Shuichi, then continued to ask the thief Kid, "Then why are you sure that the 'Pandora' you are looking for is the Chaldean employee - Alicefiel von Einzbern?"

"Should we start from that place..." Thief Kid sighed.

"Please keep your story short, Kid." Conan Edogawa quickly interrupted the storytelling of the Phantom Thief Kid.

"Yes, yes..." Phantom Thief Kid spread his hands helplessly, "The information about 'Pandora' was told to me by Phantom Thief Amakusa Shiro Tokishin. Before sending out the notice to steal the 'Star' of Goryokaku, he told me that there is only one way in this world to make people immortal - because human technology has not yet reached that level, so some kind of magic can make people immortal."

——Everyone who was present and had something to do with the Black Organization was skeptical of what the Phantom Thief Kidd said, "Human technology has not yet reached this point."

"There are five kinds of magic in existence - the first one changes everything, the second one identifies more, the third one shows the future, the fourth one hides itself, and the fifth one loses its meaning." The thief Kidd made a "three" gesture to everyone, "The third magic is the magic that can make people immortal."

"The third magic: Heaven's Feel - the effect is the materialization of the soul, in other words, it is a magic that achieves complete immortality. It is said that this magic is passed down from the Einzbern family." The Phantom Thief Kid looked at Edogawa Conan who was already lost in thought, "The Phantom Thief Amakusa Shiro Tokishun told me that the person who inherited the third law from the Einzbern family served in Chaldea."

"The materialization of the soul..." Conan Edogawa pondered, and met Akai Shuichi's eyes, "Is it possible... that the effect of this magic can be applied to more than just immortality?"

"It seems that you have already thought of the correct answer, boy." Akai Shuichi smiled at Conan, and then turned his attention to Furuya Rei, who had fallen silent because of the answer of the thief Kid, and tried to comfort the depressed blond Japanese public security officer, "Your intuition is correct, Bourbon."

"...Don't learn from your two seniors in the FBI." Akai Mary, who had been detained in the MI6 headquarters for a long time, was shocked by Akai Shuichi's words and got goosebumps all over her body.

"Huh?" Mizuno Renna, who belongs to the CIA, showed an expression of incomprehension.

"After confirming Kidd's information, my speculation can be established." In view of the fact that this incident was indeed mixed with supernatural forces such as magic, Edogawa Conan chose to use speculation instead of reasoning, "The effect of the third magic is the materialization of the soul, which means that as long as the soul exists, even resurrection can be achieved."

"I see." Furuya Rei suppressed the urge to fight back against Akai Shuichi, and continued to speak according to Conan Edogawa's speculation, "From the literal meaning, the meaning of soul materialization is to give matter to the soul - that is, even if they are dead, as long as the souls left behind are given flesh and body again, they can reappear in this world."

"Ah, that makes sense." Edogawa Conan nodded, "Whether it's Mr. Amuro's previous discovery or my previous reasoning and hints, they all prove this point - there are many dead people among Chaldea's staff who have regained their bodies through the third magic."

"Moriarty is 'Moriarty', Holmes is 'Holmes', Watson is 'Watson' - these people from MI6 and the FBI are just taking advantage of the fact that Holmes is a fictional character created by the public, so they use his real name so recklessly."

"As for the two people that Mr. Amuro found, it should be because they were all people who had been actually declared dead in this era, so they needed to use pseudonyms after resurrection."

"This may prove that Chaldea is intentionally hiding such a powerful force." Akai Shuichi held his chin in his hand and fell into deep thought, his expression becoming more and more solemn, "But now not only the Black Organization, but also the Phantom Thief Kidd and an unknown organization know that Chaldea has such power... What exactly do they want to do?"

"Mizunashi, you should also know that Gin mentioned that Champagne became the deputy director of Chaldea, right?" Edogawa Conan showed a lovely smile to Mizunashi Renna, "But in fact, it is not Champagne who infiltrated Chaldea and became the deputy director, but the deputy director of Chaldea obtained the code name of Champagne in the organization."

"Just like when Mr. Amuro and Mr. Louis were arguing, he said that the organization was completely infiltrated by MI6. In fact, the organization was completely infiltrated, but it was not MI6 that infiltrated the organization, but Chaldea. This can also prove the reverse point why the only source of information for the Phantom Thief Kidd was the Phantom Thief Amakusa Shiro Tokisada."

"Because they improvised and dragged the thief Kid into the plan."
