Chapter 10: Teasing

"Are you...... Ravenda? Lai Qixiao recognized the secretary who was serving Eagle, "Why did you leave the velvet room?" ”

"This time it's a business trip." Lavinda walked up to Laiqi Xiao, pointed to the cage behind him, and said:

"Guest, please don't try to attack this shadow anymore, your power has no effect on it now."

"What the hell is going on? This is not the case with Yuko Ikezawa's shadow that I encountered before. ”

"Guest, this shadow in front of you is 'special'." "The world is made up of the collective human subconscious, and the inhabitants of it are also the embodiment of the human subconscious. And once the desires of humans in the real world are distorted too much, their projection of the cognitive world will also be distorted, mutating into a very aggressive shadow, just like the lady you met earlier. ”

"And now you see this shadow, whose desires are out of control even worse than that lady. So much so that even he himself didn't realize that he had fallen into a state of madness. ”

"That's why this gentleman's shadow is so illusory, and the mask on his face has not been removed."

"So what you have to do is make him in the real world strongly aware that 'there is someone who is going to destroy your desires', and when he realizes this, this shadow will materialize because of the sense of crisis."

Laiqixiao roughly understood what Ravenda meant. In the original work, people with excessive desires will form a building called a "temple" in their cognitive world, and in order to make the owner of the temple repent, they will materialize the secret treasure stored in the temple and steal it.

And what you need to do now is roughly something similar. It's just that at present, it seems that this cognitive world cannot generate a special environment like a temple.

Sure enough, there's something wrong with this world, and I can't look at it completely with the setting of the original work. Lai Qixiao thought to himself.

"It seems that you already have an idea, and you don't need my advice anymore." Ravinda smiled approvingly, and then she spread the heavy book in her arms in the air, and flipped through the pages with a flick of her fingers.

"Before leaving, please accept this gift that we have prepared for you." Ravenda's gaze quickly swept between the pages, and finally she pulled a tarot card from it with a snap of her fingers.

"You have lived up to our expectations and have succeeded in forging a new bond and obtaining the 'Empress' Arcana."

"Therefore, you, who possess the 'unruly power' to manipulate multiple personality masks, deserve this new personality mask through the power of the 'Empress''s Arcana."

The Empress's tarot card shattered into points of light, drifting in with the wind into the mask on Qi Xiao's face, merging with it. Lai Qixiao stroked his mask and really felt the increase in strength.

"Then guest, please forgive me for leaving first." Lawenda bowed slightly to Qi Xiao to say goodbye, "The ability of the so-called 'personality mask' is the power to control the heart, and the heart will be filled by the relationship between people. ”

"Make more connections with others, and when times of crisis come, you may be able to rely on the power of your heart to turn things around."

…………

It was about seven o'clock in the evening when Lai Qixiao left the cognitive world and returned to Dr. Asasa's house, just in time to run into Dr. Asa who was about to go outβ€”and the little boy who was following his ass.

"Good evening, Brother Laiqi! Are you busy looking for a part-time job today? Conan greeted Qixiao warmly, but secretly looked him up and down, trying to find some horses.

"That's right, it's just that my luck is as bad as ever, I failed all the interviews!" Lai Qixiao maintained a smirk on his face, and he couldn't wait to tie up this suspicious stinky little ghost and beat him.

The two guys, each with their own ghosts, entertained each other with a false smile, and only the simple Dr. Asa smiled happily, and even felt that the two of them got along very well.

"You're just in time, Xiaojun! I've got some work to do, so help me get Conan home! ”

Lai Qixiao secretly said that it was not good, he didn't want to spend too long with this famous detective, but on the other hand, he couldn't turn away Dr. Asasa's small request. Just as he was weighing, Conan suddenly took the initiative to come over, and shouted:

"Then Brother Laiqi, let's hurry up! If I don't go back, Sister Xiaolan will scold me! ”

Hmph, I'm going to have to catch you today! Wait and see!

"Alright then, you have to follow me, don't get lost!"

Stinky little ghost! It's really not ashamed that you, an adult at heart, pretend to have such an innocent smile! Detective!

In this way, they said goodbye to Dr. Asasa, who had always been out of condition, and went in the direction of the Maori detective agency.

Lai Qixiao took the initiative to take Conan's hand and tried his best to play the role of "Sunshine Big Brother". Of course, he didn't expect his acting skills to confuse the detective, in fact, Laiqixiao had already thought of a strategy to deal with Conan.

At this time, Conan was still thinking about where to knock on the side in order to dig out the secret hidden in Qixiao. But to his surprise, Lai Qixiao took the initiative to talk to him:

"Conan, you're living in a Maori detective agency now, aren't you?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's right, what's wrong? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I just heard you say 'Sister Xiaolan', and suddenly I thought of one of my classmates. That classmate of mine happens to be called Mao Lilan, and his family also runs a detective agency, so could it be the family that takes care of you now? ”

What? He turned out to be Xiaolan's classmate now! Why didn't Xiaolan tell me? Conan, who heard the unexpected information, suddenly lost his bearings, and although he was still firmly watching Lai Qixiao at this time, his purpose was already different.

Hmph, as I expected! You guy will really be in a mess as soon as he hears about Xiaolan, stinky little ghost, watch me add another fire to your heart!

"Speaking of Maori, she is such a beauty! There should be a lot of boys pursuing her, right? But when she greeted me today, she also asked me about another boy, could it be someone she likes? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Brother Laiqi, which boy is Sister Xiaolan asking you about? ”

"As I remember, the boy's name was ...... Forget it, I shouldn't have told you kid about this kind of thing. And this is the privacy of Maori classmates, it's not good to tell others! ”

Looking at Conan's face that was about to turn red, Lai Qixiao's mood was particularly happy.

Lai Qixiao never thought that teasing this little ghost would be so refreshing! He secretly vowed in his heart that he would try more of such fun things in the future.
