Chapter 569: Your silence is deafening
“I’m not kidding you, have I already told you, this is something that can fulfill your wish.”
In Karasawa, he fully expressed his disapproval of garbage game operations and After the profiteer's accusation, Leon, who had laughed enough, put the empty cup aside and spoke a little more seriously.
"Have I not gathered them all now? Or you have been painting cakes for me for a long time and you don't tell me how to use them, right?" Tang Ze shook the golden cup in his hand and clicked his tongue with dissatisfaction. He made a sound, "No matter what form it is, a store, exchange, you have to show me what I have, right?"
"This is not something I can decide." Leon put the empty cup away He stood up and straightened his stiff waiter's uniform, "I said, this is something that can 'fulfill a wish'. A wish? It's actually..."
He did not continue what he said next, but just winked and winked at Tangze.
This expression means that what follows is not something Leon can say clearly.
After a staged showdown, Tangze and his assistants already had a certain tacit understanding in this regard.
So Tang Ze also put away the funny evil expression on his face and stared down at the cup filled with golden substance.
"...Wishes are actually desires?" Tangze thought for a while and tentatively guessed, "This is easy to guess. After all, it is something turned into a desire stone."
As for what the Desire Stone is used for in the original work, because the original work is unclear, Tang Ze is actually not very clear. He only knows that it can be used to exchange for some accessories and other props. Its appearance and function are, Obviously they are not very similar to Tang Ze's Desire Stone.
"Yes, wish is desire." Leon confirmed Karasawa's statement, "It is some kind of crystallization formed by you collecting the twisted power of desire. So, how do you think this should be used? Where is the thing?”
“You have to learn from Haibara Ai, ‘the miracle of wishes coming true’... Then can’t I just make a wish?” Tang Ze shook it twice and said to Leon. I am very puzzled by his pretentiousness.
It’s not like Tangze has never tried making wishes. Whether he wished for something outrageous or wished for some practical props, it never had any reaction.
"There are many kinds of wishes. In short, the wish you made may not work." Leon shook his finger and expressed euphemistically, "If someone makes a wish to God, let God help him finish it. Holiday homework, you are a god, you also give him a big bag.”
And in the final analysis, Tangze's crazy wish was as if he had actually done a lot of homework.
Xingchuan Hui, who struggles with the sea of questions every day, has something to say.
"It makes sense..." Tangze touched his chin and looked at the things in his hands, feeling a little regretful, "So, what you are saying is that these jokes cannot count, and you have to be more pious. "
"Yes, miracles don't happen easily." Leon spread his hands.
"Is it a miracle?" Tangze turned the slender handle of the cup, and his thoughts couldn't help but wander.
It may be because he is a time traveler with too much super travel information. In his eyes, these supernatural concepts and world views are actually more like some kind of inherent settings, and they do not bring him too many thoughts. .
However, those who have truly seen the cognitive world and experienced the power of the Phantom Thief of Heart are definitely not as ordinary as him.
Tang Ze remembered the first time he took Xingchuan Hui into the palace of swallowing heavy words. Xingchuan Hui's face was shocked and speechless...
Tang Ze Ze's heart moved, and he suddenly had some enlightenment.
“The end point of cognitive learning is the power of the mind to make things come true... So, does it mean that I must have a desire as strong as enough to give birth to a palace, in order to really drive them? "Tangze raised his head and looked into Leon's golden eyes.
Leon blinked, and the light in the bar shone through his eyes, reflecting tiny spots of light that were exactly the same as the thing in Karasawa's hand.
“You finally figured it out.” Leon nodded heavily, “The cognitive world, in the final analysis, is the gap between the material world and the spiritual world. It itself is the projection of the human spirit and the reflection of the material world. Shadow... If you are sincere, you will be spiritual. Without a strong desire or a firm will - no matter whether it is a good or bad will, it is impossible to step into this world."
"A sincere heart will be spiritual. "Tangze tossed the cup in his hand, "It would be a pity to leave this thing to me. As a time traveler, I lack awe for these things, and it is difficult to make any wish truly religiously. Well...if it is used by others, it might really work wonders."
Leon picked up the rag beside the bar and slowly wiped the new empty cup he had just taken out, without taking it. talk.
Kangze, who fully expected Leon to answer, waited for a few seconds, but saw that Leon had remained silent, and looked over with some surprise.
Leon just continued to wipe the cup silently.
Tangze's expression froze.
The silence for these few seconds was deafening.
"Wait a minute, this thing can only be used by me, right? This is something from my velvet room, and I can't take it out."
Leon stared at Karasawa for a while, holding in his hand His movements didn't change at all, he just slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
This smile damn reminds Karasawa of the ending scene of the movie he just watched - Toru Amuro, who has basically determined his identity, looks at him who is unaware of this, and walks into the cafe as usual inside.
"...So I can actually take it out and use it?!" Understanding what he meant from his narrow silence, Tang Ze's tone couldn't help but rise an octave. .
Holy shit, he knew his velvet room was outrageous, but it was so outrageous, so outrageous!
His assistant is his soul clone, and there is even an entity that can be observed by others. He can really come out of the velvet room at any time and do something for Tangze in the material world. This is already The setting is outrageous to the heavens.
Can the things in his velvet room be given out to others? !
Tang Ze stared at Leon for a while, then stared at the cup in his hand for a while, and then his eyes quietly turned to the menu Leon placed on the other side of the bar.
That’s Karasawa’s complete book of personas.
I don’t know if it’s to match the decoration, or if it’s just the way Karasawa’s velvet room is. There’s a book cover with “MENU” written on the outside of his complete book of personas – anyway, Leon said it was a book cover.
Although the style of painting is indeed the same here, when Karasawa was busy playing with concave masks and saw Leon dressed as a bartender holding this menu and ordering, something still felt wrong. .
"That won't work." Leon reached out to cover his menu and said gently, "This is Persona, not Pokémon."
"That's it..." Tang Ze moved his eyes away and agreed, but other thoughts were already in his mind.
Well, why not find a chance to steal the book and give it a try.
There is only one wild world, how lonely it is like snow.
Then his eyes turned to the wine rack behind the bar, his eyes flickering, eager to try.
"...I can't wait to experience the feeling of fighting with the assistant. Just tell me, I can show the health bar." Leon, who knew Tangze well, grinned with a smile. "Is there a possibility that I don't have the authority to tell you these things because I know your true nature so well? If I had told you earlier, you would have wanted to hair out all my carpets and use them."
Tangze, who was struck by what he said, cleared his throat.
One thing to say, indeed, if we had discovered this kind of operation earlier...
What should we do? This is what we RPG players are like.
With a helpless sigh, Leon put the polished cup back on the bar. With a flick of his finger, the newly grown desire stone hanging on Karasawa's brooch shattered into pieces. The fluttering gold powder fell into the bottom of the brand new empty cup.
"Okay, take your things and go out to play. Don't bother me."
————
After being mercilessly thrown out of the velvet room by the annoyed assistant, Tang Ze walked out of the alley and saw a few familiar people standing in front of the cafe muttering something. "Karasawa doesn't seem to be here. Isn't it a bit rude for us to go in directly?" Hattori Heiji, who glanced at Toru Amuro and was a little frightened, rubbed his neck.
Although I have long known that Goro Akechi’s boss is Karasawa’s temporary guardian, it still feels different when I actually stand on their territory.
Especially at the beginning, in order to ask Akechi to find out about Karasawa, he was almost acting like a rogue. No matter how Amuro Toru hinted, he just sat in the detective agency and refused to leave, causing trouble to Amuro Toru. It's quite annoying.
At the time, he didn't think there was a big problem. Now when he went to play at someone else's house, he finally felt guilty that he seemed to have offended someone else's parents.
"Maybe in the attic." Conan pointed to the stairs leading to the mezzanine in the store, "Go in and ask."
"Let's call him first... "Looking at Toru Amuro's busy back again, Hattori Heiji decided to play it safe.
"You guys are here." Karasawa, who knew very well what Hattori Heiji was trying to do, spent a few seconds adjusting his uncontrollable smile, and walked to the door of the store freely, "I'm sorry. , I ran to the convenience store to buy something, and I came back a little late."
"Convenience store..." Hattori Heiji glanced at the alley where Karasawa came out and repeated the word in a low voice. , I feel a little weird there.
He ran to the convenience store, so he came back late or something, why did he feel like he had heard this sentence somewhere...
"Business is so good, it's a bit troublesome for you to come here to eat." Hattori Heiji I was muttering in my heart, but I was still polite.
"It's okay, I've said hello to Miss Enomoto and Mr. Amuro in advance." He casually picked up the book he threw down from the table at the door, and Karasawa led them into the cafe, " Rather than worrying about whether it’s troublesome or not, they are happy that I can make new friends.”
Karazawa has lived in Tokyo for a few months and has indeed made many friends, but he is not like the rest of the school. Azusa Enomoto has expressed concern about the cold relationship between students.
Although Karasawa used the fact that he had fewer friends in Kyoto to prove that the current situation was already very good, after hearing this, Azusa Enomoto not only did not feel relieved, but became even more worried.
"If you count us among your friends, Karasawa-kun, then wouldn't it be true that the only people of the same age you have friends with are Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki? You should get to know more friends of the same age!"
Azusa Enomoto would definitely welcome two high school students with fresh faces as guests in the store.
"That's it..." Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha exchanged looks and nodded to each other.
It seems that Suzuki Sonoko's worries are indeed not groundless. Karasawa's social situation is indeed quite strange.
Among his peers, apart from his classmates Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, the only ones he knew were Kudo, him, and Goro Akechi, who made people feel bad. The last three were all detectives, and they seemed to accept him. Delegated “working relationship”.
The other friends are either elementary school students who are very young and feel that they cannot provide much emotional value and have to make him worry more, or they are Amuro Toru, Iwai Munehisa, etc., with an age difference of more than 10 years, and they are more like elders than friends.
Outside of school, his time was basically reserved for the detectives and Haibara Ai. At school, because of his previous unpleasantness, he had a cold relationship with his classmates and found it difficult to get close to them.
You should really take him to travel more and meet some new friends...
I don’t think there is anything wrong with my social circle, and the social scope is very consistent with the original work. Karasawa is very fond of them. He didn't even realize what he was thinking. He just took care of Azusa Enomoto and introduced the cafe's signature dish: "If Mr. Amuro is here today, would you like to try the seafood pasta? Well, it's my first day here. That's what dinner is, it's an impressive delicacy... Hey, classmate Lan didn't come with you?"
"Oh, I didn't call you Xiaolan..." I realized there was someone in the crowd. Toyama and Ye's Conan, the title changed, "She made an appointment with Sister Sonoko, and they are going shopping today."
While speaking, he also glanced at Toyama Kazuha, who was holding Hattori Heiji's bag tightly and poking his head behind him like a small animal.
Toyama Kazuha, who was angry because of Hattori Heiji's broken appointment, had not completely given up his hostility and wariness towards Mao Lilan, so he invited people to have dinner together, which was somewhat of a Shura scene.
"Seafood pasta, right?" Azusa Enomoto, who came over with a drink, put the tray in front of them and took over with a smile, "I knew you wanted to eat this, so I prepared the ingredients in advance."
"My coffee..."
"There is no sugar in it. Mr. Amuro took the sugar box away. You can tell him yourself."
"Ah..." Karasawa protested, looking at Toru Amuro's back standing in front of the cooking table, but not daring to really get close to him.
No way, the thrilling experience of falling off a horse and dying in society still remains in his mind. It will take him some time to adjust to a comfortable state. In a short period of time, he will be better than the current Hattori Heiji. I'd also like to be a little more worried about Amuro.
Thinking of what he saw in the hall, the disgraced Tang Ze took a sip of the bitter coffee and turned to look at Conan.
Now that I think about it, I find that in the past two days, the biggest unlucky person was not himself who had his vest stripped off, but the guy in front of him.
Although Toru Amuro once suspected Kudo Shinichi's identity, as Conan's identity surfaced, his connection with joker proved impossible.
Karasawa has also said before that Joker, Conan, and Kudo Shinichi are an impossible triangle. He cannot be three of them at the same time. As long as two identities are achieved, the third one will be impossible.
Toru Amuro is not an idiot, and he knows this very well.
Just like what he saw in the movie, Toru Amuro would ask Karasawa about two things: "Kudo Shinichi may be the Kaitou Joker" and "Edogawa Conan may be Kudo Shinichi" , rather than exchanging information with him, he wanted to test Tangze's own reaction.
As for the deceitful use of joker to appear on the same stage with them, Toru Amuro's strong words may seem outrageous when it comes to Conan, but when it comes to Karasawa himself, it is very possible.
Kansawa, who did not realize that he was on the verge of being exposed, chose to clear up unnecessary grievances for Conan in order to explain the situation clearly, and by the way confirmed that Conan was indeed Kudo Shinichi.
At that time, Tang Ze felt that he was retreating in order to advance, and selling some real information would make his subsequent statements more convincing.
However, after a quick calculation, he couldn't help but failed to fool the opponent. He completely lost his horse in front of Toru Amuro. He also completely took off Conan's vest. He went back and forth, resulting in a net loss of two people. .
Kangze, who felt somewhat guilty, rummaged in his pocket, took out something, and handed it to Conan.
"What is it?" Conan, who had just taken a sip of the drink, was caught off guard by Karasawa who stuffed something cold into his mouth. He lowered his head strangely and looked into his hand.
This is a piece of golden metal product. It feels cool to the touch, and it is not clear what material it is made of.
It has a very strange feel. It is obviously polished very smooth, and there is not much specular reflection under the light. Only a little blurry light and shadow can be seen on the surface.
Some strange associations crossed his mind, and Conan suddenly remembered many golden things, especially...
The joker who appeared at the scene to rescue Haiyuan Ai that time in Pisk, The scene where Gin took it out on the rooftop and suppressed it for no apparent reason.
Considering that it was Karasawa who brought out the things...
Conan carefully observed the thing in his hand for a while. It was carved a bit like a skull, but somehow it seemed to have several leaves of gold. He looked up again, looked at Tang Ze's expression, and his face became serious.
Could it be that Tang Ze had made some new discoveries about cognitive mythology and wanted to come to him to exchange opinions...
However, Tang Ze's next words directly caused his expression to completely break.
"Conan-kun, you..." Tang Ze looked at him seriously and asked solemnly, "Do you have any dreams?"
"...Huh?"
