Chapter 567: There are also differences between Kaito II and Kaito II
The keyword gem successfully grabbed Kuroba Kaito’s full attention.
He suddenly sat up straight from his originally somewhat lazy sitting position, staring intently at the small opaque box on the table, and then raised his eyes to carefully look at the expression on Tang Ze's face.
"Last time, I wanted to ask you when I saw them mention it." Without reaching out to touch the box directly, he asked first, "About the fact that I am looking for a special gem. , where did you know about it?”
In addition to this question, Kuroba Kaito actually has many other similar questions, and he has wanted to ask them for a long time.
About how he knew his true identity, whether he knew his father, and how the person "Tang Zezhao" became a "joker".
Although he inherited the mantle of Kuroba Toichi and continued to act as Kaitou Kid, the truth about his father's disappearance and the few words he left behind were "hunted" for them. , Kuroba Kaito has not investigated much so far, he only knows that like him, there are more than one organizations targeting special gems and X alloys.
In the dark, beneath the calm and comfortable daily surface, some hidden forces are chasing the same thing. Such a fact will occasionally send chills down his spine.
So, after the joker revealed the identity of "Black Feather", he couldn't tell whether the opponent was a friend or an enemy, and he was on guard for a long time.
However, the behavior of the Phantom Thief of Heart is really not like those people...
Tang Ze dragged the coffee at his hand to the middle, stirred it slowly, and thought about where he should start.
Just like Karasawa told Noah before, he believes that Kuroba Kaito, who has a relatively special status, is rare. He has not joined the Phantom Thieves, but he does not have to shy away from telling him his true identity.
Especially after it was discovered that he had collected X-alloy, it was almost certain that the Kuroba family had some connection with Cognitive Hexology.
But how much does Kidd know now, about the so-called "magic"...
"I think I am not the first person you have ever seen who knows about 'X alloy' "But it's strange that you haven't heard of the word cognitive science at all." Tang Ze pinched the handle of the quilt, brought the coffee to his lips, and covered his mouth, "You are looking for." Pandora'?"
Kuroba Kaito immediately moved away from observing the small box, his eyes glaringly meeting Karasawa's blue eyes above the rim of the cup.
"Where did you hear this word?" Seemingly realizing that the conversation was reaching a critical point, Kuroba Kaito clasped his hands and also covered his mouth, "Can you tell me "Is that important to me?"
"Actually, he didn't take the initiative to tell me...because we haven't seen each other for many years." Tang Ze took a sip of the hot coffee. The next words were swallowed into the throat, and he whispered vaguely, "This word was mentioned by my father, Karasawa Ikawa."
To be more precise, this is what Haihara Ai told Karasawa. , will connect them, and it is also the relationship between Tang Ze having super travel information.
As a theory that is not yet systematic, there are too many Riddler concepts in Cognitive Hexology. In addition, Karasawa Ikawa's speaking style is such that Haibara Ai is not sure whether it is true or not. There is something that actually exists, or something like a metaphor...
But anyway, since Tang Ze asked about the X-alloy that made up the brooch, she told her exact words.
"You are actually the second generation of Kaitou Kidd. Your predecessor should be your father, Kuroba Toichi, who died in an accident 8 years ago as you mentioned." Karasawa blinked. His eyes blurred by the heat of the coffee, he recounted one by one, "Coincidentally, I recovered from autism 8 years ago. It was also because of this that my parents' research attracted covetousness and attention. After that, they were imprisoned, and we rarely saw each other again, until they were killed a few months ago..."
Although I have investigated Tang Ze's situation, I have never heard of this. Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment.
He knew that Tang Ze and his wife had passed away, but the fact that Tang Ze's parents might be related to his missing father was beyond his expectation.
Tang Ze did not have too many emotional fluctuations because of this description. He just closed his eyes and continued: "My brooch was the material my parents were looking for specifically to treat me. He said Others have explained its specialness this way - 'It brings light, it awakens Pandora...so we call it, akira'"
After Karasawa said this, he paused for a moment, considered a lot of information for a moment, looked at Kuroba Kaito's exceptionally bright eyes, and said the next words.
"What that organization is researching is something that may subvert human civilization and turn society upside down. They are pursuing 'infinity'. Infinite life, unlimited resources, unlimited power... They want to be , the immortal god. "
Yes, this is Tang Ze who synthesized a lot of information and had more or less contact with organizational and cognitive learning through Haibara Ai, Miyano Akemi, Akai Shuichi, etc. people, verify and think out the answers.
It is also the true intersection of the Miyano family and the Karasawa family, the science of science and the science of Hexology.
——"Infinite".
If the Miyano family's biological research has expanded the upper limit of human beings and given people the possibility of touching infinite time, then the Karasawa family's cognitive histology has expanded the upper limit of energy that humans can obtain and given them They have an illusion of "infinite energy".
“Aren’t you very curious, how did I become a joker? Cognitive Hexology is a power that uses the mind to reverse reality, create something out of nothing, and make your wishes come true. In short, It is an almost magical supernatural concept, just like what you are looking for, Pandora."
Tangze said, reaching out and covering the small box in the center of the table.
His hands were open and relaxed, and his fingers were closed on the box without making any movement. However, in the next moment, the box disappeared out of thin air.
As a top magician, Kuroba Kaito is very sure that it is definitely not a magic trick.
Many details flashed quickly in my mind, and the cards in my hand were quietly replaced, disappearing in an instant, without any visual capture of the poker...
"...Eternal life. Yes, in those people's mouth, they are so Describes Pandora. It is a gem that can make people live forever. It is because of this secret that my father was targeted." Kuroba Kaito looked at the person who reappeared. The plastic box slowly understood what Tang Ze meant, "Are you guessing that our parents had an intersection at some point in the past?"
"Maybe it's more than that." Tang Ze replied He rolled his eyes and glanced sideways at the large "Maori Detective Agency" poster on the glass window upstairs.
If the organization's research on drug A really has anything to do with Pandora...
Then what if you say that the Black Feather Thief picked something from the Holy Grail, so that Tang Ze is not surprised at all when everyone is unconscious.
Kuroba Kaito followed his gaze and pursed his lips. He didn't know if he and Karasawa were thinking about the same thing. He slowly turned his gaze back and let out a light tut.
"Oh, I suddenly feel that I have paid too much to find my troubled father." Kuroba Kaito, who knew who Karasawa was hinting at, sighed deeply, "I just Is it really okay for an ordinary phantom thief to get involved in these disputes? "
"No way, it's too late to regret it now, just like I couldn't get out of it because of my parents. , you have already been dragged into the water." Tang Ze shook his head and gestured to the box on the table, "This is the most likely gem that I can find that is close to that Pandora. If you have it. If there's a way to identify it, I'll leave it to you."
This time, Kuroba Kaito didn't hesitate anymore and grabbed the plastic box and opened it.
In the box, lie two gray-black translucent gems.
Kuroba Kaito, who has handled many precious jewelry, discovered its specialness immediately.
This is a gem with a very strange shape, a bit like crystal, but there is no light refracted by the crystal structure. The sunlight passing through it seems to be refracted by a prism, forming distinct layers. Rainbow-colored shadows.
This coated it with a layer of strange distorted light and shadow, like a handful of colorful halos floating around it.
This is definitely not an effect caused by artificial cutting, but more like a special structure naturally generated in gemstones...
If you ask Karasawa, then Karasawa will directly He said that when he opened his third eye and saw the palace's secret treasures and those X-alloys, the colored light he saw was exactly like this.
Isn't that reasonable? Desire stones and other things should be similar to secret treasures, probably.
“It’s interesting.” Kuroba Kaito put back the rhombus-shaped crystal that was one knuckle long, and put away the box without saying a word, “Then I’ll take this thing away and study it. . If it really has anything to do with Pandora, I will tell you."
Tangze spread his hands casually: "It is said to be a gift to you, you can do whatever you want with it. "
"Thank you." Kuroba Kaito smiled and leaned back to relax, breaking away from the serious atmosphere just now. "I can't believe that you actually inherited your parents' business. Interestingly, the child of a thief still became a thief."
...Why does this sound strangely familiar? Tang Ze shrank his neck back and immediately drew a clear line: "Don't talk nonsense. Your parents are Phantom Thieves, but my parents are not. They are serious scientists."
"A serious scientist?" Kuroba Kaito imitated Karasawa's action of covering the box just now, and flexed his fingers, "A serious magician, maybe."
"Well, that seems to be the case." Tangze thought about the broken Holy Grails scattered all over the floor, and felt that what he said was reasonable.
Kang Ze has figured out a lot about this strange stitched world view, but there are still some unsolved mysteries that urgently await his continued investigation.
One of them is the fragment of the Holy Grail that inexplicably collapsed on the ground.
The Holy Grail, regardless of whether it has cards or not, can consume several sets of tens of thousands of proverbs, it is all serious. Can it be the secret treasure of human collective subconsciousness that can be broken just by breaking it?
What is that under the subway now? The false god is sitting there eating black mud for the Holy Grail?
If this is not a P5 world view, tell him that his parents fought in the Holy Grail War, and he will believe it.
"If you put it this way... I am a Kaitou, so it is understandable. Why did you become a Kaitou?" Kuroba Kaito looked at Karasawa with difficulty in speaking. His face, which had not lost its baby fat, was really... It didn't look like a serious chuunibyou, so he said in confusion.
“Because it’s so cool to cross-dress like this.” Without blinking, Karasawa replied, “Just steal the sin or something, right? Don’t you think this is much more handsome than some superhero? ”
"Is it for this reason, you..." Kuroba Kaito's expression became even weirder.
"What are you doing? Didn't you become a Phantom Thief just to be handsome? If not for the sake of being handsome, why are you wearing a white suit so late at night?" Tangze, whose aesthetics was questioned, asked with his eyes widened.
"Is that a question of being handsome? That's the basic trick of a magician. It's just because it's night, so it's easier to attract attention and it's easier to perform some tricks in the dark... forget it. , I can’t explain it to you.” Rolling his eyes, Kuroba Kaito decisively gave up discussing issues such as visual deception, focus, and blank space with Karasawa.
"A simple and crude magician." He concluded.
“The flashy Riddler.” Tangze was not to be outdone.
After staring at each other for a moment, they both turned their heads at the same time.
“I’m so full that I have nothing to do while discussing Phantom Thieves with you gangsters.” Standing up from the table, Kuroba Kaito took out the sunglasses pinned to his collar and put them on his eyes again, “ Is there nothing else? "
If you stay with these guys who don't understand aesthetics, you'll be pissed off sooner or later, so it's better to leave.
"Then you can do it yourself, I won't give it away." Tang Ze, whose aesthetics was seriously questioned, also snorted and picked up his book again, "If you find anything, just tell me in the line or promise That’s fine.”
Kuroba Kaito, who was about to leave, glanced at him again.
Same thing about over-reliance on technology.
Please, if you rely on video editing or other technological means to perform magic, you will be looked down upon in the industry, right?
However, when it comes to this point...
"That scarf of yours." Kuroba Kaito pulled down his sunglasses and gestured around his neck, "What the hell is that? , is it a special prop made by you, or is it also the product of that Hexue?"
He described the magical effect of the joker scarf to Terai Huangnosuke, and asked him to consult the person who gave it. His friend who made props got the answer that he had never made anything similar and had never seen materials that could achieve similar effects. He also said that if there were samples, it would be best to send them over for study. They sounded amazing.
Kuroba Kaito, who was unable to restore similar props, was a little reluctant because he was outclassed. After a while, thinking about it now, maybe it wasn't his fault.
“I won’t tell you.” Tang Ze flipped through the book coldly, “Just take your time and guess.”
“Forget it if I don’t tell you.” I didn’t really want to know.
Kuroba Kaito adjusted his sunglasses again and turned around and walked in the other direction.
"Oh, by the way, let me remind you." Karasawa lowered his book a little, and while Kuroba Kaito was just raising his leg, he said quickly, "You'd better not hold up Kudo's hands recently. His identity was running around, and someone was targeting him.”
No matter what Kudo Shinichi's situation is or what happens to him, once he shows up, Team Zero will definitely look at him like a shark that smells blood and persevere in grabbing him.
After working on multiple fronts for so long, and having to organize things, find monster thieves, and take care of other identities, Jiang Gurei and the people in Zero's group are probably holding back their evil fire and have no place to spread it. Woolen cloth.
If he shows up with his identity, he will really be chased from heaven to earth.
Well, although it seems that he dug this hole by himself... But didn't he still remember to remind his allies? It was interesting enough.
Huh? Didn't he tell him before that if he used Kudo Shinichi's identity for activities, it would be best to cover it up afterwards, lest anyone discover Kudo Shinichi's whereabouts and attract the attention of the organization.
Because of this instruction, Kuroba Kaito occasionally needs an identity to escape or sneak into the exhibition. When he borrows this easy-to-wear vest, he always remembers to hide his traces so as not to be exposed.
Why do you need to give special instructions? It's weird...
Turning his head and glancing, Kuroba Kaito didn't answer, but just raised his hand to show that he heard.
Forget it, no matter what idea he has, Tang Ze said so, then just agree to it first, and if there is any problem, you will investigate it yourself.
Watching Kuroba Kaito's tightly wrapped figure walking away, Karasawa looked down at the dense documents in his hands for a while, patted his forehead, and closed his eyes to rest.
Forget it, after such an interruption, I don’t really want to continue chewing on these things.
Made, who can pity him who has never written a serious paper in his two lives!
He graduated from a police academy in his previous life. The police academy he attended was not a vocational training model like Japan. He really graduated from a police academy!
Although the life experience in the few years after graduation is indeed rich, the richness refers to the level of excitement, not to professional resume.
He never imagined that one day he would be able to hold a lot of biological journals and read them as bright as stars.
I really can’t relax in any subject...
Sighing and drinking all the coffee in his hand, Karasawa put the book on the table and prepared to go into the store to tidy up, and then called Conan and Hattori Heiji and the others came over for lunch.
As soon as he lifted his steps, thinking of the extra instructions he had just given to Kuroba Kaito, Karasawa raised his head and took a look at the door of Polo Cafe.
By the way, since we mentioned the zero group...
Kasawa's toes changed direction and turned to the street on the other side of the store.
When he was sitting in the store reading a book, when he got bored, he would go out to the convenience store or go upstairs to relax. People in the store would not be surprised by his sudden departure.
So Karasawa turned around without any scruples and walked into the alley next to the coffee shop.
