Chapter Twenty-Three: The First Sight of the Thief Kidd
The introduction of the system is over, but the mood of Zero is not very good, in the final analysis, it is one word - money! Money! Money!
In fact, in all fairness, everything in the system store can be described as good quality and low price. For example, the most expensive item, priced at 300 million yen, is called the "Never Get Sick Potion", which is a one-time use item that has the effect that after drinking it, you will not get sick until you die of old age.
You won't get sick until you die of old age, what a miraculous effect that is. You must know that after entering old age, you can still maintain a healthy body, and you don't have to worry about suffering from this disease and that disease, which is something that many people can't envy. And the most important thing is that under today's living conditions, it is definitely not difficult to live to be a hundred years old without the invasion of illness, and it is also possible to live to be one hundred or twenty years old or even longer.
For such a miracle drug, let alone 300 million yen, even if it is 3 billion yen, or even 30 billion yen, it feels normal. If he took such a medicine and told Shiro Suzuki that he would only sell him 300 million yen, Chairman Suzuki would keep it and settle the account in minutes.
Of course, it's more likely that President Suzuki will blast him out as a liar, and then ask Sonoko not to associate with him again in the future.
But the problem is that 300 million yen may be just a drizzle for Chairman Suzuki, and it is an incomparably large amount of money for himself.
Forget it, don't think about it anymore. Anyway, there are other relatively low-priced items in the store, so if you don't like it, you ignore it, and if you can see it, you slowly save money to buy it, and that's it.
"By the way, Miss System, what is the premise for me to obtain the fifth skill?"
Zero also asked this question some time ago, but the system didn't respond to him at that time. Now that the system upgrade is complete, Zero remembers that the system said that he could answer more questions after upgrading to level 2, so he asked it again now.
The system actually replied: "The host needs to complete two temporary tasks in total to get the fifth skill." β
Complete two impromptu missions and that's it? I've already completed the mission of defeating Kyogoku Shin, so as long as I catch Kidd tonight, I can get the fifth skill?
Zero's mood has changed a little better.
Zero suddenly remembered that he knew that Kidd's true identity was Black Feather Kuaito, so he went directly to find out Kuaito and capture it, would it be considered to complete the task? If that works, my trip to Osaka seems to be a bit of a wasted run.
However, the young lady of the system quickly relieved him: "The target of the mission is Kidd, the monster thief, not Black Feather Kaidou." β
The implication is obvious, only arresting Kaito while he is committing a crime as Kidd will complete the mission. For example, when Kaidou disguised himself as someone else to step on the point, this can be described as Kidd's crime process, and his arrest at this time should be considered to meet the mission conditions. But when Kuaidou is lying at home leisurely, you don't meet the conditions if you go directly to the door to arrest someone, not to mention that you have to pay attention to evidence when you arrest someone.
In that case, what else do you have to think about, just wait for Kidd to show up.
When the time came to five o'clock in the afternoon, Zero decided to go to dinner with Ersan, and then go to Tongtian Pavilion alone to catch Kidd!
Walking down the street with Ersan, Zero met Aichi and Miyuki and asked, "Didn't you hang out with Xiaolan and them?" β
"Well, after all, I'm not very familiar with them, so I'll go our separate ways." Ah Yi replied.
In fact, what Ah Yi thought in his heart was that it was rare to be able to go on a date with Miyuki in Osaka, so how could he go and mix with a large number of other people and add so many light bulbs?
Of course, Zero could still see Ah Yi's thoughts at a glance, so he said: "Then I and Er San won't bother you, by the way, dating is dating, don't delay the business." β
Miyuki blushed and said, "Zero, you are really, I am not dating Ah Yi!" β
Ah Yi patted his chest and said, "Sister Lingzi, don't worry, I'm very experienced in dealing with strange thieves." β
After Ah Yi said this, Zero Zi remembered that in the plot of "Jintian One Juvenile Incident Book", there is also a strange thief who gives Ah Yi a headache, and he is also a big beauty, which seems to be a little interesting to Ah Yi.
But what to say is very experienced, you obviously haven't caught the other party once, do you have the experience of being molested by the other party?
ββββββββ plot dividing lineββββββββ
By the time it was nearly 7:20 p.m., Conan, Heiji, and Aichi were already waiting in the castle tower, and there were many policemen around, and Kogoro was also waiting here.
"Why hasn't Sister Zero come yet...... The Nakamori police department was nowhere to be found. Ah Yi saw that he couldn't see Zero, and he had some doubts and uneasiness in his heart, and Conan and Heiji were also quite strange about it.
A few drops of rain suddenly fell from the sky, and Pingji, who felt the raindrops falling on his face, suddenly changed his expression and said to Conan: "The glowing sky pavilion mentioned in Kidd's advance letter does not refer to the castle tower, but to the Tsutenkaku!" The top of Tsutenkaku is used to predict the weather! β
Listening to what Pingji said, Conan and Ah Yi also looked surprised.
At this moment, Kidd the Monster Thief stood at the top of the Tower of Babel, stretched out his hands and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemenβIt's show time!" β
The night wind blew, rattling Kidd's cloak.
Kidd pulled out a remote control and pressed the switch. In an instant, fireworks burst into the sky around the castle tower, scattering into various shapes in the air, making the police guarding the castle tower look terrified, for fear that Kidd had some conspiracy.
"Next is this ......," Kidd flicked another switch on the remote.
A bomb hidden in the substation exploded, and Osaka was plunged into a large-scale power outage, plunging the entire city into darkness, and only a few places with backup power sources, such as hospitals and large hotels, that could generate their own electricity, remained bright.
Kidd was at the top of the Tsutenkaku, holding a telescope and looking into the distance: "Hoenzaka Sanmen Hospital...... Dojima Century Hotel ...... Tenma Emergency Center...... Kansai World Hotel ...... It's weird, how can I not find it......"
Kidd knew in advance that the Egg of Memories had been transferred by the police, and in order to obtain the exact location, he put the entire Osaka Castle into a state of blackout, in order to force the police to activate the backup power supply. In this way, buildings that can automatically generate electricity in addition to hospitals and restaurants are the target location. Tsutenkaku was chosen because it is the tallest building in all of Osaka, and the top floor of Tsutenkaku offers a panoramic view of the entire Osaka complex.
But the problem is that after looking around, Kidd didn't find a building that could turn on backup power generation other than hospitals and restaurants.
This is not in line with my expectations, how can this be? Could it be that the Nakamori Police Department hid the egg of memories in a hospital or a hotel, if that were the case, there would be no way to find it, but the Nakamori Police Department will not become so shrewd this time.
"Kidd the Thief - get down here - you're surroundedββ!" A girl's voice came from the ground.
The girl was none other than Kaneda Ichizo, and I saw her holding a megaphone at this time, shouting at Kidd on the Tsuten Pavilion.
The height of Tsutenkaku is very high, and it is difficult for ordinary speakers to transmit sound to the top, but Zero is holding a super amplified speaker that she bought from a system store for 7,000 yen, which can increase the volume several times.
I'm surrounded!? Kidd was taken aback, when did the Nakamori Police Department become so capable?
When I looked at the ground with a telescope, I noticed that in addition to the pedestrians passing by on the street, there was only one high school girl shouting at it with a bullhorn.
Kidd was confused, but he realized that the girl below might have something to do with the fact that he hadn't found the target building, so he landed on the glider and landed on the ground.
Seeing the strange thief Kidd suddenly fall from the sky, the surrounding passers-by also reacted differently, some were dumbfounded, some were shocked, and some took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Kidd while shouting Lord Kidd.
After falling to the ground, Kidd saw Zero's detailed face and couldn't help but lose his mind for two seconds.
It's beautiful...... Like other men who have seen Zero, Kidd exclaimed in his heart.
"This beautiful young lady ......," after calming down, Kidd asked Zero, "You say I'm surrounded, why are you alone on the ground?" β
"Of course, you're surrounded by me."
Kidd couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this. This girl looks like a fairy, but her IQ seems to be a little ...... Abnormal?
Zero, on the other hand, looked at Kidd's attributes as usual.
Black Feather Kaito - Force: A-, Intelligence: S-, Intimacy: E.
In fact, in the early plot of his home work "Magic Fight", Kidd can be called a master of both intelligence and martial arts, in terms of force, he can tie with the iron sword who came to make a cameo from "The Legend of Sword and Bravery", and in terms of intelligence, his IQ is as high as 400. After all, before merging with the world of Conan, "Magic Fight" was essentially a funny comic, whether Kidd was explosive or intellectual, it was all the exaggerated expression used in funny comics. If you look at the original setting, Kidd's attributes observed by Zero are definitely dual S+ in force and intelligence (although the two sides fought with wooden knives when Kidd and Iron Sword fought, their physical fitness and combat skills were superhuman).
And after merging with Conan's worldview, Kidd can be said to have been cut a lot, he was crushed and beaten by Kyogoku Shin in terms of force, and his IQ400 setting was never mentioned again in terms of intelligence. After all, if Kidd continues to have an IQ400, then Conan, who has suppressed him several times, Takaaki Motoshi, who easily makes him deflated, Yusaku Kudo, who has a higher IQ than his son, Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro, whose intellectual performance is no worse than Conan, etc., don't all of these people want IQ400 or so? Then this worldview is too broken.
You know, the characters in other works are already the top geniuses if they can have an IQ of 200. Like Kazuichi Kaneda's IQ is 180, Naruto Ri Nara Shikamaru IQ200, and GTO Rimi Kanzaki IQ200. To put it bluntly, the setting of IQ400 can basically only be seen in funny comics.
Looking at Kidd's appearance, Zero knew that he didn't take his sentence "You are surrounded by me alone" to heart. So Zero smiled and said to Kidd, "Mr. Strange Thief, are you worried at the moment because you haven't found the location of your target?" β
Kidd's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked, "Does this matter really have anything to do with you?" β
Zero's smile became a little brighter: "I did know that the Nakamori Police Department would transfer the Egg of Memories to other places, so I installed a GPS positioning system on him in advance to grasp his whereabouts clearly. After dinner, I infiltrated the building where the Nakamori Police Department was located, and since there were only three people in that building, it was very easy to sneak in. I broke the backup power switch before they knew it, and they must have been frustrated by the fact that they couldn't turn on the backup power. β
Kidd's expression became a little solemn, the girl in front of him didn't seem simple, and her ability to appear here meant that she had accurately cracked the code on her notice about the time and place of her crime. The most critical problem was that she had destroyed the backup power switch in the Nakamori Police Department's hideout beforehand, so that she could not confirm their location, indicating that she had already speculated about her possible actions.
What a tricky guy...... Although he has encountered many strong opponents since his debut, such as the pestering White Horse Detective and the eccentric little ghost Edogawa Conan, it is the first time that he has encountered a guy like this who can anticipate the enemy's opportunity and effectively target himself everywhere from the beginning.
But since you have judged where you are, you should have notified the police to lay a net, and she appeared alone in front of me like this, and said that I was surrounded by her alone. The girl's brain circuits...... Sure enough, it's still very abnormal.
Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, after all, there is only one person on the other side, although Kidd has a solemn expression, but his heart is still very calm, only to hear him say to Zero: "So, this beautiful young lady, can you tell me the location of the Nakamori Police Department and the Egg of Memory?" β
Kidd just asked casually, not expecting Zero to really answer, but Zero said, "It's okay if you want me to tell you, but you have to throw the glider away first." β
He wanted to capture Kidd, and the biggest obstacle was the glider, if Kidd flew into the air, he wouldn't have the ability to follow him to the sky and drag him down.
Kidd was slightly stunned when he heard this request, but he had already observed it when he landed from the Tsutenkaku Pavilion and confirmed that there were no other policemen within a radius of a few hundred meters, so he didn't expect any problems, so he took off the glider on his body and placed it on the ground beside him. It's a big deal to wait for the answer to be asked, and then put it back on.
"All right, miss, I have taken off the glider at your request, you should tell me...... it! β
Before Kidd could finish his sentence, Zero had already lunged towards him. The two sides were not separated by many meters, and almost in the blink of an eye, they rushed in front of Kidd, waving their fists and slamming them into Kidd's face.
Thanks to Kidd's quick reflexes and full dodge points, he narrowly avoided the punch. But Zero then made up for it with a set of combos, and although Kidd barely dodged all of them, feeling the strong wind that passed his face several times, Kidd had already lost his previous composure, and his head was already covered in cold sweat.
I'll go, this young lady is too fierce! Don't you know how to write the four words gentle and elegant? What a terrible scenery it is to fight and kill like this.
Zero's expression is not very good-looking, Kidd deserves to be Kidd, although the force value is only A-, but this dodge ability alone can be said to be the strongest in the world. You must know that even if he was pressed and beaten by Kyogoku, Kyogoku never managed to punch him.
It seems that only the elbow is used?
