Chapter 914 The Unlucky Guy
"What's going on..." Hakuba Detective and Hattori Heiji, who lacked the concept of what kind of existence the Phantom Thief of Hearts was, looked at each other, and both found the same shock in each other's eyes.
They were standing next to Nanatsuki Koshizui. Of course they had seen the girl fall, but their reaction was obviously not as good as that of Nanatsuki Koshizui who had provided a helping hand in the scene in front of them. In just a few seconds , everything has happened in the blink of an eye.
Conan stared helplessly at Koshimi Nanatsuki, who was kneeling on his back on the ground. There was obviously something on Liu Hai's face that was not there before. He opened his eyes wide and felt that his thoughts were almost connected. .
So, the reason why those monster thieves dress up like that is actually inseparable from their abilities...
It's not that they like to dress up, or even quite the opposite. Those costumes are a cover to hide the true appearance of their abilities...
Conan was observing and getting closer, just when he wanted to reach out and touch Yueshui. When Nanatsuki's shoulders were checking the opponent's condition, a violent wave of air burned, and in an instant, it engulfed Koshimizu Nanatsuki who was kneeling on the ground.
"Crossing the water...!" Conan was startled and wanted to pull her out of the flames, but he was already blown away by the fierce wind and flew out.
"Hey, Conan——" Hattori Heiji raised his hand and instinctively covered his face, thus missing the opportunity to catch Conan flying out.
“Oh, what a coincidence.”
Just when Conan thought he would hit something hard and fall out, the familiar, soft fabric wrapped around him and caught him in time.
The red scarf gently wrapped his little body and slowly lowered it to the ground.
"Joker..." Almost as soon as the scarf touched his body, Conan knew who was coming. He opened his mouth and looked hesitantly in the direction where the scarf was coming from.
It is an island and a closed and closed space.
However, it was the time when Tang Ze was absent again.
Unknown to the young detective, who was once again torn in his heart, Tangze put his hands in his pockets and walked over with a smile.
Behind him were the members of the Phantom Thieves who were dressed up in different ways. They hardly needed any instructions from Karasawa, and they had already stood in front of the detectives in a tacit understanding, connecting them with Nanatsuki Koshizui. The directions are completely separated.
The sight was blocked by the crowd, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki was completely invisible. Hattori Heiji, who was about to protest, confirmed the huge disparity in the number of people between the two sides, and his face changed slightly: "You...he didn't tell me you There are so many people... What are you doing, playing football?”
Tangze, who was about to say something serious, was almost amused by his nonsensical words about playing football. Clearing your throat, you managed to hold it back.
The epic meeting between the detective team and the Phantom Thieves should not be too humorous.
"I'm really sorry. Compared to a carefree high school detective, the work of a phantom thief is obviously busier." Karasawa shrugged.
His words were a joke and an answer, but the members of the Phantom Thieves standing behind him couldn't laugh.
Indeed, who can say otherwise...
"The Phantom Thieves of the Heart?" Detective Bai Ma's eyes quickly passed through everyone, then quickly turned around, and settled on Tang Ze's body, "So you are, Jo ker?”
Compared to Hattori Heiji who was shocked by the change of situation and had not yet recovered, he was obviously much calmer. When he faced the cloth covering Karasawa’s face, , his eyes are almost bursting with light.
Tangze, who had dealt with more than one detective, knew that if he gave him any response at this time, the detective who was here might be in trouble.
So he pretended not to hear at all, stopped making pretentious greetings, and snapped his fingers to signal others to act as planned.
Hakuba Tan and Hattori Heiji, who were full of doubts, were immediately surrounded. The next second, several debuffs from the masks immediately enveloped the two of them who entered the cognitive world for the first time. They had no idea about their power. The unsuspecting detective.
The two people fell on their backs without saying a word, and went to keep company with Tokijin Junya, who was already submerged in flower petals on the ground.
"Is it something we can't see?" Seeing the joker walking towards him, Conan took a slight step back, his face barely calm.
"Yes, 'There are some secrets, and just knowing them is a leak.'" Karasawa smiled in response to his question, and for the sake of this being a big customer of the Phantom Thieves, he gave him a little gaming experience.
Although it is impossible for you to see it, letting you ask a few questions can be regarded as preserving the dignity of the detective.
"... Nanatsuki Koshimizu is different from you." Knowing that he could not escape the outcome of being knocked unconscious, Conan reluctantly said at the end, "You don't want to, just do it without permission..."< br>
He has met more than one of the Phantom Thieves, and even said that for several of them, he himself was a witness to the entire case. He almost watched how they were born from hatred, and walked up the cliff step by step, with their heads turning. Leave your past self behind without looking back and go to the back of the world.
As for Koshimi Nanatsuki, although many clues can be detected from her behavior, in the end she just spoke sharper and did not do anything to Tokatsu Junya.
She may indeed be an Avenger, but he doesn't want Koshimizu Nanatsuki's future to be decided by others because of this.
Her life has not come to an end yet, and she should not disappear from the world forever like that.
"Don't worry." Tang Ze raised his hand and started to put the other party to sleep as well. Before, covering Conan's eyes, "Sleep well, and then, just pretend that nothing happened. Good night, Detectives."
————
"The last one has been taken care of." Matsuda Jinpei watched Tang Ze bring down Conan with his own hands, and he was respectful and did not let go. The opponent hit the ground directly, but was leveled manually. Then he turned around and looked at Koshimizu Nanatsuki behind him, who had stood up from the flames.
With Karasawa, a master of field control who can even coordinate the entire Phantom Thieves' team to fight together, he doesn't worry about what the curious children on the ground will find out. In this world, there is no one who can hide it from Karasawa's eyes. Probably doesn't exist.
"So, this will be a rare case of 'waking up' on your own?" Miyano Akemi tilted her head, "I can't imagine that the world's barriers here would be so weak. ”
They have already seen it with their own eyes at the Blue Castle. The portrait that can be walked directly into the cognitive world at midnight is so exaggerated like this island, directly followed by the fragrance of lavender. The fact that you can walk into the mist with flower petals is still unexpected.
"It should have something to do with the fact that the cognitive world here is still being formed, so the situation is particularly special." Asai Narumi thought, took the bow and arrow, and shot the shadow not far away. It’s not surprising that Nanatsuki Yuesui can walk in by himself. As for The others were probably involved by her. "
To be more precise, maybe they were influenced by her who had just awakened and had not yet established whether she was the master of the palace, the controller of the impression space, or the real mask user. Encircled by his ability, he fell into this side together.
"So, after certain conditions are met, in reality it is easy for people to accidentally come here." Kenji Hagihara, who is still an ordinary person, touched his chin thoughtfully, "Then If we don't come this time, and Nanatsuki Koshizui fails to discover the essence of the cognitive world, wouldn't these detectives be trapped here with no way to leave?" Matsuda Jinpei glanced at himself. A man who was very good at focusing on the key points glanced at him, and he had to admit that he asked a key question.
There may be many ways to enter the cognitive world.
Whether it is navigation in another world, or a passage that can be opened when certain special conditions are met, in the final analysis, the cognitive world is connected with reality. Although it is born from the human mind, it is quite idealistic and incomprehensible. It's rational, but it does always exist objectively.
Where things exist objectively, small probability events cannot be avoided.
For example, the Avengers whose spirits are so strong that they trigger space changes on an unknown desert island, or the detectives who are too curious and accidentally stray into this place at a specific moment...
But I want to It's not that easy to leave here.
They can come in and out freely, as if the barrier does not exist, it is just the convenience provided by navigation in another world. Without its assistance, perhaps, the only way to leave a palace is to completely conquer it and let it Only by dissipating into nothingness can there be the possibility of return.
But even these mask users themselves, if it weren’t for Tangze’s accurate popularization and guidance, God knows when they would be able to find the right path...
“So, maybe Some mysterious disappearances do not involve human factors, but are also some kind of 'natural disaster'?" Shimabukuro Kimie tilted her head, "Some things will become 'urban legends' passed down by word of mouth, and they also have their own. That makes sense?”
"No, none of you have imagined the most terrifying situation." Tangze listened to their discussion, arranged the detectives, clapped his hands and stood up.
Going past them towards Koshimizu Nanatsuki who had already stood up, he described a possibility in a low voice.
“They are the luckiest ones. They were brought in by the awakened person who created the space, and her own willpower is strong enough. She doesn’t need to do anything extra. She has already completed it by herself. So, even if we don’t come, we will soon. This weak space will also be defeated by Nanatsuki Koshimizu himself, and they can return to the real world unharmed. Apart from having another thrilling adventure, there will be no real harm.
"But this itself is an extremely special situation. What if, I mean what if, someone accidentally triggered the condition and was involved in the complete 'impression space'? Even if he is a genius with vast supernatural powers and eyes that reach the sky, how can he make that world disappear and find his way home? ”
The few people who were discussing enthusiastically just now looked at each other in confusion, but they could not admit that Tang Ze’s statement was not nonsense.
"Perhaps such an unlucky person is still wandering around somewhere in that world at a loss." Imagining that scene, Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't help but sigh, "Probably, there really can't be such unlucky people. Human, right?”
————
Opening his eyes again, Conan lowered his head and saw, as expected, that he was lying on his back with his hands clasped together, very peacefully. , lying flat on the bed.
Really, it seems familiar? This guy still looks like this.
Speechlessly, Conan loosened his fingers and sat up. Not surprisingly, Conan saw Hattori Heiji with the same peaceful posture next to him. He opened his eyes with the same confused look and slowly sat up.
Obviously, the Phantom Thieves who kicked them out really did what they said, and were prepared to let them pretend that nothing happened, as if they had just dreamed.
"What a perfunctory way." Hattori Heiji touched the back of his head, and as expected, he touched the small bump left by the collision on the ground, and hissed, "Hiss, I knew that angle. It must be knocked out of the bag.”
Conan cleared his throat guiltily after receiving the VIP treatment, lifted up the quilt and climbed out of bed.
He was brought into the group as Hattori Heiji’s pendant. Naturally, Hattori Heiji and Hattori Heiji lived in the same house.
Without any thought, the two of them walked out of the room at the same time, and also saw Tan Baima sticking his head out of the door.
"You were sent back too." Hattori Heiji sighed empathetically when he saw the other person rubbing a certain spot on his head.
"And it's a very ungentlemanly way." After rearranging his hair, Baima Tan turned his head and looked at the corridor not far away inquiringly.
On the other side of the corridor is the room of Junya Tokizu and Nanatsuki Koshimizu.
Before they entered there, they would walk over there. It was precisely because the program team assigned them in order in a semicircle. On this side were him and Hattori Heiji, and on the other side was Tokijin. Junya and Nanatsuki Koshimizu, and finally Goro Akechi.
"So, the case Koshizui Nanatsuki mentioned was really what she had 'experienced'." Hattori Heiji touched his chin, and his thoughts successfully connected to what he saw and heard before he fainted. Slowly and successfully came to a conclusion.
If he hadn't felt the same way about this scene, Koshimizu Nanatsuki wouldn't have reacted like that, let alone feel such anger and pain.
She has probably seen the scene she described.
The maid who almost committed suicide, the rich lady who hanged herself in the strong fragrance of lavender flowers...
"You just realized it now?" Conan knocked on his head angrily. Move your arm, "Besides, the person who wronged her is probably Tokizu Junya. No, if you tell me now that she participated in planning the entire show, I might believe it."
No way, it's too much of a coincidence. Much more.
Although the villa located in the garden was different from the current hotel, and what they saw there was probably not exactly the same as in reality, the structure of the house was indeed very similar.
"It is indeed."
Koshizui Nanatsuki's voice sounded, and the three people stopped in unison and looked over.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who was dressed just like her original self, was holding the open window and sitting sideways on the windowsill with the lavender pot like the woman who jumped from a high place. , looking at the gray island outside the window, he said softly.
"This program is indeed something I asked everyone at Nikki TV to help me complete. Junya Tokijin should repent for what he has done and pay the price."
The words she used were not friendly, but her tone was very soft. Her profile looked gentle and calm in the sea breeze, and those anger and faint, burning emotions seemed to be completely gone from her.
"You..." Hattori Heiji opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but after looking at Koshimizu Nanatsuki's face, he couldn't ask any further questions.
How do I ask this? Have you accepted the invitation from the Phantom Thief? Is it true or not, the detective asked the Phantom Thief directly? Is there such a way to directly confront someone's fault?
"Don't worry, I will still be a detective. As for the rest, it's not important yet." Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled with relief, recalling the conversation ten hours ago.
