Shiraishi sat up straight.

actually brought the word "Huangquan", and it felt very powerful when I looked at the name.

But after being happy for less than two seconds, after remembering the characteristics of the system title party, Shiraishi's expression went from excited to sluggish, and finally gradually returned to dull calm.

…… The more powerful the name, the weaker it may be.

Speaking of which, what will be the effect of this thing? Is it hell after ignition?

It's very convenient to solve the case, but his job is to save people, and unlike Conan, how can there be so many cases to solve......

In a flicker of thought, the line of words turned into a point of light and crashed into the backpack, and in the blank backpack compartment, it solidified into a candle-like icon.

【[Special] Yellow Spring Candle】

[Durability: 100/100]

[Use: After ignition, you can summon a deceased to come to help]

[Note: The strength, identity, summoning duration, etc., of the summoned person will be affected by a variety of factors]

"......" That's it?

You should have written down the "multiple factors" clearly!

Shiraishi unwillingly looked at the instruction box for a while, but still couldn't find the page-turning item.

Sounds great, but there are too many uncertainties......

Shiraishi first set up shortcuts for it, and then launched it according to the steps.

Soon, his palms sank, and he had an extra hand-held candlestick that looked like it was made of silver.

It's not as fancy as the one Sugie holds in Ayami - it has only a short base with a stubby candle with a slightly yellowed and clotted wax tear at the bottom, which looks like a cheap set from a medieval movie.

After holding it and waiting for about five minutes, Shiraishi retracted it into his backpack to check its durability.

It still reads:

【100/100】

Shiraishi looked at the other backpack, Gerry's [Bloodstained Kitchen Knife].

After taking it out once in Sugie Asahi's realm of consciousness, its durability has been reduced by 1 to 99.

For now, candles should not be in this attrition pattern. It may be ignited before it wears out and is durable.

Since the durability is still full, and there are butterflies in the store, he can light and summon a few times to see what he can summon.

Thinking of this, Shiraishi changed his clothes, ran to the small shop on the street through the back door, and bought a lighter.

When he returned, he walked into the café and closed the curtains and roller shutters as Butterfly looked at him in confusion.

Then Shiraishi took out the candle and placed it on a dining table.

"I want to try summoning the dead." Shiraishi mysteriously took out the lighter, and then looked at the little girl sitting behind the counter, with only one head exposed:

"In case of any accidents, I want to confirm one thing - that, how high is your force value?"

Although judging from the [use] line, since this thing wants to "summon the dead to help", the probability of summoning an ally must be relatively large. But it didn't say in the remarks, and Shiraishi didn't dare to be 100% sure, plus an insurance policy, just be prepared.

Hearing his words, Butterfly Shinobu was quite interested, "Oh? He stood up.

As she pushed open the waist-high door on the side and stepped out from behind the counter, her modern dress slowly faded and changed.

By the time she stood beside Shiraishi, she had changed into a black dress with copper buckles, leggings, a long knife hanging from her waist, and the butterfly-like feather weave naturally drooped.

Butterfly Shinobu pointed a finger on his chin and looked at the candle with a smile: "Deceased...... Is it a spirit, or a ghost? ”

"I don't know, that's why I want to try." Shiraishi was inexplicably furious by her laughing back.

He hurriedly cleared his throat and pretended to be calm and added: "And the summoned ones are not necessarily dangerous creatures, they are likely to be allies." ”

"'Not necessarily'...... That's possible. Butterfly Shinobi's smile widened slightly, and her pupils suddenly darkened:

"Don't worry, I'm a professional when it comes to slaying ghosts. Although there is no guarantee that you will be able to fight all of them, even if you can't beat them, I will give you time to escape~"

After a pause, she removed her eyes from the candle, looked at Bai Shi and smiled again: "So when the time comes, don't be so scared that you can't run on the ground." ”

“…… Rest assured, I'm also professional in running away. Shiraishi was quite confident, but when she said this, the hand that pressed the lighter was a little hesitant.

But after thinking about it, the last time he drew out the summoning talisman of Shuichi Akai, the system specially reminded him that the summoned person would act according to his own wishes. Then this time, it shouldn't be too tricky......

Thinking so, Shiraishi took a deep breath, lit the lighter, and forcibly calmly brought the flame close to the candle. When he was still about ten centimeters away, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"Sure enough, I'll do it." Butterfly Ren tilted his head slightly, euphemistically expressing his dislike for the store manager's force value, "At such a close distance, if you really unfortunate summon a ghost, I'm afraid you'll be gone." ”

"To be reasonable, the ghost who can swallow me in one bite, it will only be easier to eat you, you size...... Eh, tap tap. Shiraishi hissed.

The clerk looked small, but his strength was really much greater than his, and he grabbed his wrist like a chicken claw, and pulled the lighter out of Baishi's hand with all his strength.

…… Wait, why did he say sure enough?

"You'd better stay away." Butterfly clicked the lighter, and without saying a word, she drove Shiraishi to the window, and then she pulled out the knife at her waist, held it in one hand, and replaced the lighter with the non-habitual hand.

Shiraishi looked at the clerk a few meters apart.

Originally, he thought that he was making a fuss about lighting a candle and having to find someone to guard it, but he didn't expect Butterfly Shinobi to react more than him.

Shiraishi really rarely saw someone who was more afraid of death than himself...... Phew, a wise man who is more thoughtful, cautious, and far-sighted than himself.

While thinking, he reviewed the order in which the props were used.

Although the clerk was very righteous and willing to let him run first, he couldn't really run like that.

In case something happens, you have to throw a few props over to help, if it doesn't work...... Goodbye opportunity to act.

The sound of butterflies clicking on lighters echoed in the shop, and soon, Shiraishi saw her lean the flame against the center of the candle.

He couldn't help but get nervous, but after a while, he didn't see anything that could be tied to the "dead". …… Or is it actually a soul that you can't see?

Shiraishi looked at the paper towel on the table next to him, took out one, and was about to try to let the "soul" be there, so he let the paper move, but before it could be implemented, he saw Butterfly Shinobu turn around, hold the lighter and sigh: "I can't light it." ”
