Chapter 777 "Power"
"It's a bit scary..." Mao Lilan retracted his hand and looked at the photo with sadness.
She thought it was just a simple repeated exposure that caused a ghost-like effect, and she had no expectations for this visual effect.
She was already like this, and the protagonist Masahiko Dao Xie who was photographed turned pale. Then he raised his head and glanced at the photographer of the photo, Karasawa, with a subtle look.
If it were just a photo with a problem, it might not make him think anything.
But as it happens, this unusual photo was born after Tangze's meaningful speech...
Tangze noticed his gaze and smiled calmly.
He didn't tamper with the photos. If he had to say where he did it, it would be that he used some special means to let everyone see the real picture of another world through the lens.
From the perspective of Karasawa's third eye, the current Dao Xie Masahiko looks like this in the photo.
Previously, after the Twin Towers incident, Kogoro Mouri's sudden improvement in coop provided him with a new ability, which just looked like a mediocre weapon, called "Specialized Visual Enhancement".
Based on the fact that Kogoro Mouri's coop skill initially gave him the visual enhancement of his third eye, Karasawa didn't take it seriously at the time. However, when he was free, he tried it a little and was shocked.
The name of this skill may seem ordinary, but its real effect is that it can actually overlay his own vision on the recording equipment he holds.
This is an ability with extremely limited use, and at first glance it seems a bit useless. However, after actual testing, this recording equipment is very versatile. He picks up his mobile phone, turns on the camera and starts a live broadcast. feasible.
The same principle can be proved, the cameras he installed, the cameras he controlled...
Although this is not the first time that his ability can affect other people, he can share this and other things in his own eyes. Everyone is completely different from the world, and the impact on Tangze is self-evident.
Looking back at the description of this skill, there is a feeling that the fewer words, the greater the impact.
Dao Xie Masahiko was fortunate enough to become the first batch of closed beta users due to his special attributes, and Karasawa felt that he should be honored for this.
"Maybe it was the lighting problem at the time." Seeing the atmosphere cool down, Suzuki Sonoko quickly pulled the unknown photo back, "Normally, I took it when there was a problem with the installation before. I've been through 'ghosting'."
"Yes, this phenomenon does exist." Tangze nodded with a smile, "This photo looks very similar."
Just look at the Taoist Association. Masahiko's ominous and violent image in the photo is just a ghost.
"Ah, 'ghost', then maybe the rumors about that restaurant before are similar." Mao Lilan, who was almost starting to scare himself after thinking about it for a while, nodded quickly, "queue things that don't exist. Something like that, double exposure is likely to happen, right?"
She was almost trying to convince herself when she said this, and she also shook Dao Xie Masahiko, who was faintly sweating, from fear. Pulled back from the illusion.
"Yes, that must be the case." He took a deep breath, first confirmed Mao Lilan's conclusion, and then naturally proposed tomorrow's schedule, "Just right, although the restaurant in the hotel here is surprisingly good, but I promised to treat you to a meal, and it was indeed my fault. You are leaving Izu at noon tomorrow, right?”
“Yes, that’s the plan.” Suzuki Sonoko nodded, “Izu is here too. I’ve been to the fireworks display many times, so it’s time to go back.”
In fact, the purpose of her trip has always been to get to know a handsome guy, and now that she has an acquaintance with Dao Xie Masahiko, she naturally wants to go back. There is no reason to stay here and not leave.
"Then tomorrow morning, I'll take you to that luxurious restaurant for a meal as originally planned, right?" Tao Xie Masahiko showed what he considered to be his most charming smile towards Suzuki Sonoko, "Otherwise, I would always feel a little guilty. Moreover, There are restaurants with urban legends, can they be regarded as attractions?”
“What, do we still want to go there?” Mao Lilan was still a little frightened after seeing the photo.
Although Sonoko's statement is also very logical, but going there to take pictures or something...
Maybe the truth has nothing to do with the camera. It may be that Karasawa is the kind of person with high-energy inspiration. Damn his physique, what if he picks up the camera...
"Okay, this is a good plan." Seeing Dao Xie Masahiko's smile, Suzuki Sonoko immediately nodded vigorously, "We went there during the day anyway. What are we afraid of?"
Well, she actually has no interest in luxury restaurants. She just wants to eat luxurious food. What is she doing here?
Mainly because of Tao Xie Masahiko's affectionate look, which seemed to have sparkling pleading eyes, she couldn't help but feel like she was needed and praised by the handsome guy, so she agreed without thinking.
Moreover, Dao Xie Masahiko also said that he currently lives in Tokyo, so he can take advantage of the situation and take the luggage back to Tokyo as an excuse to have more contacts and cultivate feelings on the road...
The more economical it was, the better she felt. She smiled and shook her best friend's arm.
“Go ahead, if you are still worried, I won’t bring the camera in.”
"Actually, even without a camera, after hearing such rumors, I still..."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, Xiaolan!"
No, I think you are I've lost my mind in wanting to fall in love...
Conan's mouth twitched as he was always wary of Dao Xie Masahiko, but seeing that everyone agreed with the itinerary, it was hard to say anything else.
Anyway, there must be more of them than Dao Xie Masahiko alone. If a confrontation does occur, they have a natural advantage, not to mention that Dao Xie Masahiko still doesn’t know the true identity of Karasawa and Mao Lilan. force situation.
If he really dared to show any malice towards Sonoko...
Thinking of the scene where Tang Ze kicked a security door and Mao Lilan bent a telephone pole with a punch, Conan looked weird, even looking at it with some sympathy. He glanced at Taoist Masahiko.
I hope you don’t have evil intentions and really set your sights on Yuanzi, otherwise I’m afraid that if they take action, I’ll have to kneel on the ground and beg you not to die...
Now While silently observing, a figure walked through the aisle between them and the table behind them, heading towards the door leading to the hotel side. It seemed that he had finished his meal and was preparing to return to his room.
Conan glanced over there casually from the corner of his eye, was stunned, and then focused his attention again.
Adachi Tooru? Why is he here? Does he live here?
Conan clearly remembered that this guy left after sending them back to the hotel last night. It didn't look like he was staying here at all.
Or was it just to find out their specific address last night?
Or is this related to the so-called case he is investigating?
Conan's expression darkened as he thought about the fact that Hattori Heiji had mentioned to him that Toru Adachi might be involved in the serial murders.
If Toru Adachi really targeted their group, then the only target he could target would be Karasawa.
Conan, who was in the same room as Karasawa, clenched his fists and prepared to take a closer look at the situation.
So when the dinner was over, Dao Xie Masahiko left, and everyone went back to their rooms to wash up. When Karasawa walked down the stairs to the tea room on the first floor, a small tail immediately followed behind him.
His concealment skills are not very strong, but somehow he can always track down the successful detective. He followed Tangze's route quietly, and after confirming that Tangze had entered the tea room and there was no one else in the corridor, he quietly Mimi came to the door and listened carefully.
After all, that is the policeman who was once unfavorable to Karasawa. Even if he has nothing to do with the organization, he is still a scum that needs to be eliminated in the police force. You should pay more attention to him.
Tang Ze, who was originally just here to communicate with his teammates about tomorrow's actions, was stunned, frowned, opened his third eye, and was speechless.
You kid, you don’t sleep at night and you come to sit down with me. You really can’t grow taller like this. Let me tell you...
Before Matsuda Jinpei could speak, Karasawa raised his eyebrows. Palm, and then threw out the title that made Matsuda Jinpei's heart split.
"Mr. Tohru, what's the matter with me?"
Matsuda Jinpei didn't care about maintaining Toru Adachi's lazy state and looked at Karasawa sitting across the table. , couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Hey, hey, you called me here. You asked me what happened. Who should I ask?
However, having already understood the situation from the previous address, he could not express his inner complaints. Looking at Tangze's expression, he had no choice but to follow his words and start talking.
“I learned a little bit about your life after going to Tokyo, and unexpectedly you did very well...”
————
Stack the tableware, Kyogoku wiped his sweaty forehead and stood in a trance in the already empty restaurant.
In order to attack Suzuki Sonoko, the criminal went so far as to invade his hotel. Wouldn't there be other dangers during tomorrow's restaurant trip? Unlike his family's seafood restaurant on the beach, the restaurant they were going to tomorrow was on the top of a mountain. It would be quite difficult to make a special trip there without relying on a vehicle and using only feet, but it would be too blatant to follow them in a car. .
He just wants to protect the safety of the girl he likes, not to be a perverted stalker.
What reason should I use to follow...
In a daze, he slowly walked out of the restaurant, passed through the kitchen and walked into the corridor of the inner courtyard, and was about to go back to his room through the courtyard. , a vague "Suzuki Sonoko" immediately drew his attention back.
Kyogoku looked around and quickly spotted the teahouse with the lights on suddenly at night. He frowned and slowly approached its window.
"...The daughter of a chaebol, and her sister has already married and changed her surname, giving up inheriting the family business. You have found a good way out. In this case, even if you are still a juvenile delinquent, you can have a future. Not a bad way out, right?”
This was a voice belonging to an adult, maybe it was the coolness of the night, maybe it was the tone of the other person’s words, a slightly joking tone, which was brought to him. There was a cold malice, as if a snake was spitting out letters.
Kyogoku had already heard this voice yesterday.
It was the man named Toru Adachi who held Karazawa hostage and seemed to be trying to get something from him.
Realizing this, Kyogoku immediately adjusted his breathing and lowered his sense of presence, preventing the two figures sitting opposite each other behind the window and reflected on the window from noticing his presence.
As he expected, Tangze's voice soon rang out.
"...Are you jealous, Mr. Tohru?"
As soon as these words came out, all the movement in the room stopped immediately, and the room fell into a deadlock of silence for more than ten seconds.
"Jealous? What are you jealous of?" Toru Adachi's voice sounded again, but it no longer had that careless casualness. "Are you jealous that your parents are dead and living alone under the shackles, or are you jealous of you? If you commit a serious crime, your future life will be full of ups and downs?”
After saying this, Adachi Toru laughed a few times, and his voice quickly returned to its previous state.
"I am indeed a low-key policeman, but Mr. Karasawa, you don't think that after arriving in Tokyo and meeting a few powerful guys, you can save you? Don't be ridiculous, If only the world were so simple. "
Kyogoku's fist at his side has been slowly clenched in response to the man's mean and sarcastic tone since he heard Toru Adachi speak. At this point, he slowly moved a few fingers.
He knew that what Tang Ze said just now was correct.
Adachi Toru, more or less, probably couldn't stand Karasawa's current situation.
Although he has become a juvenile delinquent, he still makes friends with good family backgrounds. He can even get the opportunity to travel during holidays and enjoy the happiness of ordinary students with his friends. This situation arouses the other person on some level. Malice, that's why Toru Adachi kept using such a bad tone and sarcastic towards Karasawa.
"Well, maybe it's not jealousy, but I think you see that I'm living a good life now, so you must be very unwilling to accept it." Tang Ze counterattacked quickly this time, "After all, you haven't experienced anything like this. To the extent that I am hit, you just made a small mistake, but there is no one to help you."
"Well, after all, this is the true face of life. This happened after work... Forget it, this assumption is meaningless. If you can still go to school and live a normal life after committing a crime, you are already enjoying the preferential treatment given to children by society."
" ...Preferential treatment?"
Adachi Toru ignored his soliloquy and just continued: "You may be a little luckier than me. Children of your age are still thinking. Very naive. Sooner or later you will see the true face of everything."
"Mr. Toru, I can understand you because of your life circumstances..."
"No, you can't understand." Adachi Toru's always plain and lazy voice suddenly deepened, "This is what I hate about you. Reason, Tangze. Put away your ridiculous empathy. Who do you think you are, the savior? As soon as I see your expression, I want to teach you a lesson."
"Why. Teach me a lesson, give me another punch? I’m afraid you can’t beat me now.”
“Ha, it’s this expression again. If it weren’t for you having a good relationship with the police at the Metropolitan Police Department, I would be really scared. I wonder...who is there!"
Kyogi couldn't help but listen and get closer to the window. He was suddenly startled and instinctively took back his steps, holding his breath and concentrating.
He tried his best to hide it. Are this guy's senses so sharp?
Before he could find a hidden hiding place, footsteps were heard in the opposite direction, stepping onto the outer corridor leading to the guest room, and left quickly.
Isn’t he the one who discovered it?
Kyogoku Zhen frowned, still confused, but saw the snow-viewing sliding door of the tea room facing the courtyard opened, and a brown-haired guy ran out of it on tiptoes.
It's Karasawa. He seems to be planning to leave here secretly while Toru Adachi is chasing the eavesdropper.
He quietly closed the door, and when he turned around to leave, he met Kyogoku's eyes and looked at him squarely.
Obviously, both sides were caught off guard.
Karasawa, who was still complaining in his heart about Conan's persistence in eavesdropping, to the point where he felt that if he continued to compile it, he would reveal information that shouldn't be revealed, now he is even a little lucky.
After all, if Conan hadn't followed up, he would have been unaware of Kyogoku's arrival, and Kyogoku would have seen through it directly.
Really, it is really embarrassing for coop4 to lose his horse. If there is another person who strips his vest before coop is turned on, he will not live, right?
"Let's go this way." Kyogoku saw that Tang Ze was frozen on the spot because of his appearance, looking completely frightened. He frowned and immediately grabbed Tang Ze's arm. Without any explanation, he followed the original plan. The route took him towards the living area.
That's where the employees live. Residents generally don't come here, and it's difficult to find the exact location.
A confused Tangze passively ran with him, crossing the courtyard, walking through the corridor, and walking to a room hidden by trees at the back of the hotel.
"This is the utility room. No one will come at this point, and he can't find you." Kyogoku took the initiative to speak, explaining to Karasawa.
What happened to that person? Is he bullying you? What happened when you said on the phone before that you wanted me to let the attacker go as much as possible? And...
Kyogoku was really filled with doubts, but looking at Karasawa and thinking of the information Adachi Toru mentioned just now, the first words he said were -
"Are you okay? I saw you just now Talking to him, it felt like you were almost out of breath.”
The state of being extremely suppressed and constantly inhaling and exhaling, as if trying to fight with all his strength, made Kyogoku really listen through the window. Everyone with ears felt the discomfort of the other person.
However, that kind of anger, that kind of unwillingness to bow down and fight as hard as possible made Kyogoku really admire him.
Tangze's situation seemed not to be good. He did not refute any of those harsh descriptions and words.
But carrying these heavy burdens, he still withstood the pressure, smiling and telling Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan that he was fine.
He is a man with a strong heart...
Kang Ze looked at Kyogoku Makoto with a relieved expression in a strange way, wondering what this man was thinking about.
His play was sung to Conan, mainly to make it easier to target Ireland later. Why are you nodding along without even understanding it?
"...I'm fine. Kyogoku-kun, what are you doing?"
Kyogoku's expression seemed confused. He didn't understand why he suddenly helped Karasawa, and said very sincerely: "That guy sounds like he really needs a beating. Do you need help?"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of shattering and shattering filled Tangze's hearing.
...I don’t know if it was his imagination, but I always felt that the cracking sound this time was a little more powerful than before.
"I am you, you are me"
