Chapter 123: Unknown Territory

Boom!

While I was still enjoying the sea breeze, the door of the venue not far behind me was pushed open, and about twenty or thirty party guests ran out of it, followed by a large amount of smoke and noisy shouting. It looks like Kaito is using smoke grenades. Well...... Smoke grenades are indeed a very good choice for creating chaos, Kuaito won't kill people anyway, smoke grenades flashbangs or something, he is more skilled at using them than I do.

Before the chaos in the venue was lifted, I saw Conan pulling Xiaolan and hurriedly running in the direction of the computer room in the opposite direction of me. It seems that Conan has discovered Kaito's identity. Seeing the two of them running out with their backs to me, I could only smile helplessly. I had already reminded Kuaidou to be careful, but he just didn't listen, so he had to be handsome. ±∞wan±∞ book ±∞ ロba,ans ↗♂≯om is playing something now.。 Ignoring where they were, I walked in the opposite direction, because on the other side, Xiaolan was still sleeping in a lifeboat not far away. Near the port, the sea breeze gradually became stronger. Sleeping in a dinghy like that would blow a cold, and Kaito should be able to escape anyway. Even if I can't escape, I'll be able to find a way to get him away after a while. It's still important for Xiaolan, go wake her up, I don't want her to catch a cold.

came to the place where he had just confronted Kuaidou, and in the boat, Xiaolan was still asleep. If it was before, I could have picked her up just by reaching out, but now, at only about one meter and a half, I can only jump into the dinghy, pick up Xiaolan, and jump out. Fortunately, his skills are still enough, and he can still do things like jumping out of the dinghy with Xiaolan in his arms.

Leaning Xiaolan on the deck, looking at Xiaolan's sleeping face with a slight frown, my heart couldn't help but warm, it's been ten years, I haven't seen Xiaolan so close for ten years. What was once a cute and sweet sleeping appearance has now grown into an angelic sleeping appearance. sighed at the passage of time, and at the same time with a little apology, sorry, Xiaolan, my brother made you wait too long. Now I'm back, but I'm like this. Wait a little longer, and when I destroy that organization, I'll be able to regain my identity by your side. A gentle smile rose at the corner of my mouth, and I reached out to soothe the sorrow on Lauder's eyebrows, and it was just such an action that made Lauder, who had entered the final stage of the drug's effect, wake up slowly.

"Boom......"

With a sigh, Xiaolan opened her hazy eyes and yawned loudly.

"Haah~~" A big lazy waist shows Xiaolan's perfect curves to the fullest. "Ahh......h

"It's on the boat, Sister Lan. I smiled faintly at Xiaolan. It seems that she doesn't remember anything about when she was stunned. "But, Sister Xiaolan, why are you sleeping here?" I pretended to be confused.

"Huh?" Xiaolan also looked confused. "I remember it was like I was looking for Conan, and then I met someone who looked exactly like me, and then I didn't know it. Xiaolan rubbed her temples and slowly recalled. "Wait a minute, someone who looks like me, is it Kidd the Strange Thief?!" said Xiaolan as she sat up and said suddenly.

"Well, it should be. I replied softly. Then he pointed to the place where the brooch should have been pinned to Xiaolan's chest, but at this moment, the brooch became a note. [This red dress I borrowed from you a few days ago.] It's really perfect for you as a lovely girl. Kidd, a monster thief who occasionally works as a cleaner. 】

"No, we have to tell Sù Dad about this. Looking at the note in her hand, Xiaolan's eyebrows tufted slightly, and she resolutely pulled me towards the venue. In this regard, I am also a little helpless. After all, I remember that I have been taken away by Conan now, and I guess it will be time to escape after a while. Follow Xiaolan back to the venue, maybe it can be delayed for a while.

"Dad!" Xiaolan shouted inside as soon as she walked into the venue.

"Eh, Ran, didn't you go with Conan to find Kidd the Monster Thief, and why did you come back with Kaoru?"

"Dad, the guy who just went out with Conan is Kidd, and he's pretending to be me. With that, Xiaolan handed the note to her father. And my dad was also shocked after reading the note.

"Oh no, that kid is in danger, officer! go find that kid...... Child. Just when Dad was about to call the police to find Conan, Conan had already rushed in with a red dress exactly the same as Xiaolan's body, and at the moment of entering the door, Conan saw Xiaolan standing in front of him completely, and then he knew that he was tricked by Kidd's soul. And Kidd himself probably has escaped from this deep-sea prison by this time. As a condition of his escape, Kidd kept the Dark Star behind, and because of this, Conan was spared a punch from his father.

———— the taste of the orchid, the taste of lavender, the taste of the home & the wings of the angel, the wings of the devil, the wings of the guardian————

Early the next morning.

"Hey, I said Kudo, didn't you just catch Kidd, why are you so decadent?" I grinned at Conan.

"Alas...... That's how to say it. But I had seen through his tricks, but he ran away at the last minute, and I couldn't swallow it!" Conan complained loudly. Conan has been decadent since last night.,The reason is, of course, that he didn't succeed in catching Kidd.,Of course,This also has a lot to do with my laughter on the side.,After all, yesterday I was full of confidence that I wanted to catch Kidd and then tell me all his methods.,In the end, he was shelled and ran away by Kidd's golden cicada.,So since last night, Conan has been hanging his head like a defeated rooster until now.。

"Well...... If you can't catch it this time, there will be a next time. Don't be discouraged and take your time. ......Shh Hahahaha. Seeing Conan's helpless look, I couldn't help but laugh again.

"Okay, stop laughing. Conan squinted at me helplessly. "So, what the hell are you doing waking me up so early in Ginza? "I called Conan early on Sunday morning, and the two of us went to Ginza together.

"What can you do, of course, is to buy things. "I have no conscience.

"Shopping, are you looking for high-end clothes, why do you have to come here to buy them? Conan complained.

"How could it be clothes, it's a mobile phone, a mobile phone. I squinted at Conan. "Now, Kudo...... It's been a while since you've been smaller, hasn't it?" I said indifferently with my hands behind my head. "How many times have you called Xiaolan since you became smaller?"

"Huh?" Conan was a little surprised.

"So, you've been gone for so long. Call Xiaolan more if you don't have anything to do, you have to know how worried Xiaolan is about you. "I squinted at the half-moon and had no conscience. "Anyway, you are also my future brother-in-law, and now you are so cold to my sister, I will not forgive you as an elder brother. ”

"Nani?!Hey!What are you talking about!" Conan's face turned red at my words. "Obviously you're younger than me, brother-in-law or something, isn'......t it?"

"Tut-tut. Speak responsibly. I shook my finger at Conan. "If you don't value my sister now, maybe I'll agree with her to have a relationship with another boy. ”

"Hey, hey......" Conan was unhappy. "However, we see each other every day, and even if it's on the phone, I don't know what to say. ”

"Cut, the guy with EQ 025, doesn't know how to cherish what is in front of him at all. I said coldly. "You know, as Xiaolan's brother, I don't even have the right to call her. That's it. My gaze darkened. "I haven't seen her for ten years, but I can't even make a greeting call, even if it's only once, I want to tell her in my own voice that I'm still alive and right by her side. ”

“…… Cauterize. Listening to my words, Conan was a little touched.

"So, hurry up and call Xiaolan to say hello!" Just when Conan was at a loss, I immediately yelled at him with an angry expression on my sad face.

"Wow! yes. I'm going to fight!" Conan hurried out. But after only a few steps, he came back the way he came. "That...... We don't seem to have bought a mobile phone yet, so how can we make calls? ”

"Where's your portable earring phone?"

"Fix it at the doctor's house, huh? How do you know?"

"Oh, the day I came, the Doctor told me all your props. So...... So what! Is this the time to talk about this? Hurry up and make a call!"

"So I haven't bought my phone yet!"

“……”

Half an hour later.

“…… Ahh It's not a child, but you, don't kick the quilt when you sleep. And just like that, I hung up. "In Ginza, in the corner of a café. On my side. Conan made a short greeting call to Ran with a bow-changing bow tie, but Conan's complaining voice rang just after hanging up the phone. "It's obviously my own voice, but I have to use a bow tie in a voice-changing voice, it's really shameless. ”

"Well...... If you can catch Kidd the Rogue, you might want to ask him for some tips on his ability to change his voice without a bow tie. In response to Conan, I tapped on the keyboard of the laptop I had just bought.

“…… Can we not mention Kidd's business? "Listening to my words, Conan's spirit of recovering was suppressed by me again. "But why do you need to buy a laptop when you buy a mobile phone?"

"Haven't you always wanted to know about me and your unknown black realm?" I replied as I continued tapping on my keyboard. "Today I'm going to show you what the so-called darkness of this world is like!" As my words fell, my hand landed on the Enter key. As a result, the originally prosaic shopping website turned into a black and red interface in the blink of an eye, and the rows and rows of numbers were diluted and replaced by rows of blood-colored numbers. Several large scarlet, metallic letters are written at the very top of the page. 【, My Friend】

"This is ......," Conan couldn't help but shrink his pupils as he looked at the web page in front of him.

"The World Mercenary Mission List, the website was established in the country of Ename. In order for you to see the world clearly, I didn't choose the killer mission list, but the mercenary mission list. After all, the task of the killer is relatively simple, while the mission of the mercenary is relatively more comprehensive. I just registered as a mercenary. However, since you're a newbie, you'll see the lowest level of missions. With that, I turned the computer screen to Conan. And Conan looked at the tasks one by one, and his heartbeat gradually began to increase. Assassination, arson, robbery, abduction, kidnapping, infiltration, head bounty. One by one, dark red quests appeared in Conan's eyes.

Looking at Conan's shocked appearance, I continued to explain without changing my face. "The mission level is upgraded from G to F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, a total of ten levels, and as a novice, you can only take on tasks below D level. As he spoke, I pointed to a corner of the screen, and Conan followed my finger to see a scarlet number, and it was constantly changing. "That's the number of tasks below the D level. "Without waiting for Conan to ask, I was the first to explain. "Every ten seconds, the completed ones will be erased, and the new ones will be pinned to the top and gradually pulled down. ”

"One...... More than 10,000. Conan's pupils already radiated fear. It's not the fear of the task itself, but the number of it. "Why...... Why are there so many. ”

"Correct, Detective. I interrupted. "That's only part of the story. With that, I adjusted the to-do list to all the options, and in an instant, the number that was beating skyrocketed by double digits again. Seeing that Conan was already trembling a little, I continued. "Most of the tasks are between C, B, and A, and there will be no more than a thousand above the S level, because it is too difficult. On the other hand, low-ranking characters are rarely done. As for the task rating, I'm looking for an opportunity to sue you, as you can see, the bullet symbol marked is the one that is taken, and the dark red is the one that I can't take now, there are nearly three million in total. In other words, one out of every 2,400 people in the world is a publisher of a task. ”

"Damn, damn it!" Conan slammed his fist against the wall, growling unwillingly. As he could see, the world was far from as peaceful as he thought. And for such a world, his detective abilities can't help at all. Look at Conan's devastated appearance. I also frowned slightly, did I let him know too much at once, it hit him too hard?

"Well...... Of course, a mercenary is a mercenary, and he can do anything as long as he is paid, and of course there are other types of tasks in this as well. As he spoke, he pressed the tab button, and the screen turned. Rows of green missions appeared in our field of vision, all of which were to protect a certain character, or high-value items such as gems, and there were also tasks to protect a certain star, such as this D-level task in front of me, [Protect the popular artist Two-Mix. 】

"Huh?" I was a little puzzled when I saw this task. "Isn't this two-mix the most popular group that Japan is hyping right now? ”

"Huh?" Conan's attention was drawn to me. Look towards the task leaderboard.

"Hmm...... Theoretically, where there is protection, there is assassination, so the two missions should be opposites. With that, I refreshed the task to the other side of the project again, and sure enough, after some searching. I found a strip of scarlet color. [Abduction two-mix combination.] 】

"Damn, why are there so many outrageous things in this world!" Conan couldn't help but punch the table when he saw the qiē I showed him.

"Where there is light, there must be shadows, this is common sense, so the great detective, this world is far from as simple as you think. But this doesn't conflict with what you call justice. At this point, I comforted Conan.

"Huh?"

"If you really want to continue to enforce what you call justice, then keep doing what you can. Don't forget, you said you wanted me to stand in the sun all over again. I chose to trust you, so you'd better not let me down until I change my mind. ”

"Kaoru ......" listened to my words, and slowly, Conan was relieved. "Ah, believe me, no matter how dark this world may be, I will carry out my righteousness to the end. Absolutely!" (To be continued......)
