Chapter 789 Never lie to people, Tang Zezhao
“Three, two, one——”
Following the instructions, Tang Ze slowly opened his eyes and stared at the painting behind his desk for a while. , and then slowly turned his sight in the direction of Kihara River.
Under the slightly nervous gaze of the other party, Tang Ze blinked and sat up as if nothing had happened.
"Has your hypnotherapy ended?" Tangze rubbed his neck and smiled, "I feel like I have definitely relaxed a little."
Isn't it? It's a beautiful thing to have fun without spending any money. It's definitely relaxing.
"Well, it's over. Karasawa-kun, you are surprisingly the type that is very receptive to psychological suggestions. The effect is better than I expected." Kihara Kawazai looked at Karasawa's expression carefully, and the same He responded with a gentle and tolerant smile.
His expressions were soft and his tone was gentle, as if he was really discussing Tang Ze's treatment plan, but Tang Ze vaguely heard something between the words.
——Since you are the child of Ichikawa Karasawa and possess his most critical research results, is it really reasonable for your secret to be revealed so easily? Or is this disguise also a matter of Ichikawa Karasawa? Part of the protective mechanism designed by Sichuan in advance?
Karazawa raised his hand, rubbed his temples, and looked distressed: "Really? I don't know. Maybe it's because I came to Tokyo. I always feel that I'm better than before in the past few months. The situation is too different.”
In the ears of people who don't know Tangze's situation, this sentence means that Tangze is not adaptable to the change of urban life, but in the ears of those who are familiar with it, it has another meaning.
Especially those who know the dirty tricks behind Tang Zezhao's arrest.
Kiharachuan nodded thoughtfully and wrote something else on a new page of notes.
Even if he couldn't see clearly what he wrote, Tang Ze had already anticipated his thoughts.
As expected, his next sentence directly asked about the relevant part of the case: "Well, so when you were detained for the case, you did not receive any psychological counseling, nor did you receive any psychological counseling after the trial?"
This means he suspects that Tangze's original psychological defense has been attacked.
What Occlumency is, it’s really the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, right?
Kangze, who was complaining in his heart, still showed an impeccable performance on the surface. He pretended to be in a state of vague recollection. After a moment, he shook his head hesitantly.
"No, probably. I don't remember a similar situation."
The expression he chose was very vague. Compared with the definite denial, this time there was a lot more, as if he didn't. Doubts that can be figured out.
This performance actually dispelled Kiharachuan's concerns. He nodded and picked up the pen again.
"That means there was a problem with your original treatment process. I will complain to the relevant departments. They delayed your treatment and caused your mental state to deteriorate after arriving in Tokyo. This is very derelict." There was no response for Tang. Ze's confusion was answered, and he attributed it like this with finality.
Tang Ze lowered his head and said nothing.
Kiharachuan was deliberately diverting his attention, not wanting him to recall his experience during the arrest stage.
This person knew what might have happened in those two months, and was trying to avoid Tang Ze's doubts about his memory.
"Okay, it's getting late, and the club activities are about to end." Looking up at the time, Kiharagawa sorted out the information on his knees and stood up to signal the end, "Although this treatment is not in-depth. , but I think it is really effective for you. Come here today, go to bed early at night, and try to maintain a regular schedule. If there are any changes, you can contact me at any time."
"Okay, sorry for your trouble."
Conan, whose hand had been tightly clenched on the door handle for a while, let out a breath, let go of the handle that was about to be heated by himself, and quickly jumped behind the corner to avoid Kiharagawa noticing him.
His earplugs responded with a rustling sound, as if the bug was rubbing against some surface.
Then the voice of Karasawa thanked Kiharagawa again and said goodbye, which was clearer and closer than the previous voice.
This in disguise confirmed Conan's guess. Tangze discovered the bug that Xiaolan had put on him and knew that he was observing the treatment, so he accepted the treatment plan with unknown safety factor without hesitation.
Not only that, he even took care of the cleanup work for Conan.
Xiaolan probably put the bug on the folder she gave to Kiharagawa, or near her desk. She didn’t know how Karasawa took it away naturally.
Soon, with the sound of the door opening and closing, Tangze, who walked out of the consulting room, looked around and looked in the direction where Conan was hiding with a clear purpose.
After confirming that Kiharakawa had no intention of leaving the room and following him, Conan stuck his head out, took the initiative to greet Karasawa, and walked out of Kiharagawa's office out of sight with him.
"Next time you need to post something like this, you can tell me directly." Tangze handed the small sticker in his hand back to Conan, "Classmate Lan is already working hard, but it is still very eye-catching."
< br>With the blessing of Dr. A Li's black technology, Conan's eavesdropping equipment has been upgraded to a very small micro-device, less than one centimeter in size excluding stickers.
Mao Lilan, who had no such experience, hesitated again and again, and chose to combine the handbook stickers with the organized documents and use them as page markers, pasting small pink flowers on the edge of the paper.
There was nothing wrong with the form, but after all, it was not in line with her past habit of organizing documents. Worried that Kiharagawa would think something was wrong after thinking about it, Karasawa took the opportunity to take the personal belongings and dragged the little flower away. .
Conan squeezed the eavesdropping device in his hand and observed Tang Ze's expression for a while.
Now that Karasawa knew that he had listened to Kiharagawa's hypnosis, he didn't have to worry about making innuendoes and could directly ask.
"Do you still have any memories from before? Dr. Kihara really hypnotized you?"
Based on voice and language alone, Conan had no way of judging whether Karasawa was lying during the entire treatment, but Judging from the conversation, Kiharachuan has a way to judge.
So, if Karasawa really can't remember what he revealed to Kiharagawa under hypnosis, he didn't see the specific actions in that key process, so he can't know what happened, so he can only rely on guessing. and reasoning.
And Karasawa took the initiative to take away the bug and told Conan that he found him eavesdropping, just to get him to ask this question.
"Of course." Karasawa blinked his eyelids twice and patted Conan's head comfortingly, "I am Karasawa Ikawa's son. He underestimates me and my father too much."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief at first, then asked: "So did his hypnosis work?"
"It worked." Tangze looked at Conan's expression and replied affirmatively, "I I am indeed under hypnosis.”
This is the truth, the debuff has not been completely cleared yet and is still counting down.
Although Karasawa was not actually affected by hypnosis and used some cunning words to circumvent Kiharagawa's lie detector test, he did not want to cause any misjudgment to Conan and make the other party mistakenly think that Kiharagawa was Ordinary people who pose no threat.
Karasawa was not affected, just because he is Karasawa and the strongest mask user. Even if that kind of hypnosis has many activation conditions and is not arbitrary mental control, Kiharagawa's lethality to ordinary people must be huge.
Conan must be wary of this person.
Putting this information in and recalling everything he just heard, Conan quickly glanced at Karasawa's side face, and couldn't help but recall the words that the excited Kiharagawa repeated over and over again when he muttered to himself.
"The end of cognitive learning..." Conan, who had witnessed this power more than once, looked tense. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and grabbed Tangze's wrist, wanting to pull him down and check it carefully. .
Karasawa, did you show the kind of power that joker showed him in front of Kiharagawa? In what way and at what cost?
"Yes, the end of cognitive learning." Tang Ze looked down at Conan and smiled, repeating the question he had asked him in the past, "What are your wishes, Conan?"
From here Feeling the huge amount of information in this short sentence, Conan's round eyes widened even wider, looking like an emoticon, which made Tangze a little bit unable to help laughing.
This is not the first time he has explicitly hinted. It seems that because Conan has always assumed that he is in a position of being persecuted, he rarely thinks in that direction.
However, he has laid the foundation for his character, and it is time for Conan to realize that he is really not an ordinary person.
"Are you thirsty? Do you want something to drink?" Tang Ze's voice changed and he suddenly asked an unrelated question.
"Huh?" Conan, who didn't understand why the topic jumped so quickly, was stunned for a moment, but still responded instinctively, "I'm a little thirsty."
"Okay, how about coffee? You've always liked it better. Coffee." Tangze asked again casually.
"Well, of course..."
Before Conan could figure out why the topic jumped so much, he felt Karasawa, who was holding his wrist, turn his palm over and grab him with his backhand. Even now he doesn't have hands half as big as Karasawa's. The next moment, the cold canned coffee appeared directly in the palms of their hands.
This was the first time that Karasawa didn't try to use his commuting bag as a cover, and took something out of the toolbar in front of Conan.
Instinctively grabbing the can of coffee, Conan looked at the can, which seemed to have just been taken out of the refrigerator, before condensation condensed on the outer wall. He opened and closed his mouth several times silently.
Many fragments flashed through his mind.
With his treasure chest-like commuter bag, Karasawa suddenly pulled out a large can of drink from his sleeve. Karasawa smiled and said that he was also a magician, and suddenly a poker appeared in his hand...
“You, you——”
Pointing at himself, Karasawa dropped the bomb lightly.
“The power of your heart to make your wishes come true.”
————
“It’s not good for you to lie to your children like this.”
Sitting around After the members of the Phantom Thieves at the restaurant listened to the leader's important speech about deceiving the innocent detective, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but shake her head.
Counting carefully on your fingers, when it comes to disguises, this little detective who appears to be Edogawa Conan but is actually Kudo Shinichi is the one who was deceived the most by Karasawa.
Other friends who are not closely related to Karasawa's core operations, such as the Mori family, Suzuki Sonoko, and others, only know Karasawa and joker as two identities, and at most one is Kitagawa Yusuke. Even if Also without knowledge, there is a limit to how deceived you can be.
As for Conan, Conan knows every one of Karasawa's vests. Even Joker's daily identity is a custom-made special vest, but he has not even had a chance to see through his identity until now.
Even the injustice organization somehow knows that Akechi Goro/Kumel is equal to the current Karasawa Akira, and Conan is not even as good as the organization.
"I'm not lying." Karasawa raised his eyebrows and showed the golden cherry blossom with three petals. "Just tell me whether I can make my wish come true!"
Karasawa needs to reveal to Kiharagawa and Conan that he has special abilities, but he cannot show his offensive power, otherwise it will conflict with his image of being chased away by the organization.
So, he focused on showing only the part of himself that did not have the ability to attack, but that could make people imagine.
That is the wishing machine that makes your wishes come true.
Although the act of "conjuring objects" is misleading, and Karasawa's ability to realize other people's wishes is not a manifestation of this, Karasawa is indeed not deceptive in nature.
If the desire stone fell from his body, was rubbed out by his velvet assistant, and relies on him to accept other people's wishes and activate them, how can it not be considered as a wish coming true?
"But the fact that you can pull things out of thin air shouldn't be in the same direction as your ability to fulfill your wishes, right?" Asai Narumi, who had seen Karasawa pull out a big gun with nothing, shrank back, "Look back, if Conan-kun really thinks you are Magician, where can you conjure something out of thin air?"
Tang Ze's power is closer to "storing things in an invisible space", and it is impossible to conjure things that do not exist out of thin air.
If someone makes a wish and he doesn’t have something in his hand, this ability will naturally "fail", so how can he continue to pull it off.
"I didn't say that he made a wish for that thing." Karasawa spread his hands, his face full of innocence, "Whether it's him or Kiharagawa, I didn't tell any lies."
He just asked Conan if he wanted coffee, and he didn't say where he got the coffee. How could it be considered a lie?
As for the misunderstanding that occurred after Conan contacted the context, that is not something he needs to consider.
"As for not being able to get it out next time, I am the wishing machine myself, and the right to interpret the rules of the game belongs to the copyright owner." Tang Ze is completely like a dog planner.
"Next time Detective-kun asks you to change him into something you don't have in your hands, and you can't do it, how do you explain it?" Shimabukuro Kimie opened his eyes wide, "Are you saying you don't have enough strength? "
"Sincerity leads to spiritual success," Tang Ze said bluntly, "If you can't change it, it means you are not sincere. I suggest you reflect on this."
I have fully learned this. Matsuda Jinpei, who still couldn't resist the urge to cover his face due to the guy's acting style, sighed deeply.
With Tang Ze's ability to talk to people and tell lies to ghosts, even if there is any emergency, Tang Ze should be able to fool it...
"Let's talk about business." I don't want to continue this. Matsuda Jinpei, who was talking about the topic, brought the focus back, "Do you think Kiharagawa's palace has a direction? How do you specifically say it?"
Kiharagawa is probably related to the organization. As we all know, people in the organization recognize each other. It is difficult to know that attacks at the world level are defensive.
Leaving aside the organization, he is also the first target they have come into contact with who may have special cognitive abilities. Whether this will cause changes in the palace and whether it will increase the difficulty of the strategy is all. Something worth considering.
This is a goal that requires careful analysis and cannot be taken lightly.
"First of all, this guy's obsession must be related to my father. There is no doubt about it." Karasawa shook his finger, not bothering to elaborate on this imitation monster who almost dressed himself up as another Karasawa Ikawa, and directly concluded. , "What is more difficult to determine is actually how he considered my father."
Adoration? Admire? Sought after?
Resent? dissatisfied? envy?
It is difficult to know what kind of interactions Karasawa Ichikawa and Kiharakawa had. Now, facing this almost pathological imitator, all Karasawa can do is to observe his true nature through his words and deeds. ideas and attitudes.
Today’s hypnotherapy session allowed Tang Ze to confirm part of the content.
So he has said that it is still uncertain who is the one who is really seen through.
“Many of his expressions are quite distorted and even somewhat contradictory. He should have a lot of negative emotions towards my father. He clearly expressed that even if my father has passed away, he still wants to win in the competition. , standing in a higher position. But it seems not entirely accurate to describe the relationship between him and my father as a competitor."
Tang Ze turned the pen in his hand and slowly wrote on the paper. Wrote a few keywords.
“I think he doesn’t have completely negative emotions towards my father. He once admired my father in the past. This should not be false. It is an objective fact that he lives his life as my father’s shadow. If If he really hates, then why would he want to see himself in the mirror every morning who is the same as his enemy? "It sounds like he is closer to jealousy? Maybe he wants to be recognized in all aspects?" , and even completely swallowed up Karasawa Ikawa's life and replaced him." Shimabukuro Kime, who had been attacked by similar emotions, frowned and guessed.
"Love breeds hatred, probably." Tangze clicked the paper in his hand, "It should be noted that he actually had the opportunity to leave my father's influence and not be shrouded in the shadow. It was him He took the initiative to change his plans, followed my father, and changed his life goals again and again. "Maybe it's a more complicated emotion." Miyano Akemi looked at the photos on the table and looked at Kihara Kawana. With a familiar face, he sighed sincerely, "My uncle is a genius. His thinking cannot be followed by ordinary people. All his ideas and all his acting styles are unconstrained, and his thinking will not take into account what is important to him." The road that is as smooth as walking on the ground is so rugged and difficult in the eyes of others, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky."
Miyano Akemi, who has truly experienced this feeling, raised her head and looked at Karasawa.
Now, she occasionally feels this way, feeling ashamed that she may not be able to share the worries of the leader.
“It is very difficult to catch up with him. Let alone ordinary people, even a genius, if he is not the one chosen from a million, just standing behind him is enough to consume all his energy. Able.”
Facing her complicated eyes, Tang Ze responded with a comforting smile.
This is not actually a question of followers, Karasawa Ikawa, if his behavior has always been the way Karasawa remembers, then he has never been a qualified leader.
He is ahead of everyone and never looks back. He is an arrogant prodigy. He is not suitable to lead any team. It is normal for Kiharagawa to follow him and his mentality will collapse.
"So I said, I may have a general direction. After all, such a genius is troubled by ordinary people's mundane things, such as family, such as children, and easily abandons the laurels that are within reach. I have changed my career direction and plans..." Shaking his head, Karasawa sounded a little sympathetic, "Kiharagawa, you are probably driven crazy by this gap."
A person with a talent far higher than himself, As long as you tiptoe, you can reach the crown that others cannot reach in their lifetime. The aloof genius who has never been troubled by academic problems has fallen into the mortal world because of some trivial matters and casually abandoned that excellent talent that is beyond the reach of everyone. Something...
It’s not surprising that Kiharagawa is convinced of him and even regards him as his goal in life.
Tangze wrote two words on the paper with half pity and half sarcasm.
"Mirror".
