Chapter 31: Justice
"Yes, your reasoning is absolutely correct! It's really Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era! Lai Qixiao stood up and applauded Conan's reasoning from the bottom of his heart. To be honest, he was really shocked by Conan's reasoning, and in just one week, the detective was able to complete the entire reasoning with only a few flaws left by himself, which was really amazing.
Lai Qixiao secretly made up his mind that he should be more cautious in his future actions, otherwise sooner or later, his identity as a strange thief would have to be deduced by this young Sherlock Holmes. Fortunately, his past experiences accidentally led Conan's reasoning in another direction, and he didn't realize the bigger mystery about himself.
"Now, the two of us are honest with each other. In the future, when there is no one else around, I will not play the role of a child in front of you. Conan then said to Laiqixiao, "Of course, I want you to keep my news as much as possible, and it is best to cooperate with me if necessary." ”
"I understand this, don't worry!" Lai Qixiao patted his chest and promised, "I will keep your secret, this is also an agreement between the two of us." ”
"But, Kudo-san, you seem to trust me quite a bit? I don't have much contact with you, right? ”
"Because Dr. Asasa trusts you quite a lot, and I trust Dr. Asasa in his vision." Conan explained to Qi Xiao, "Besides, I also investigated you this week. My personal findings are: you have secrets, but you can be trusted. ”
“…… No one has ever trusted me so much before, and it seems that turning over is the right choice. Lai Qixiao recalled the disgusting eyes from the people around him when he first crossed, and he was quite emotional for a while.
"By the way, Kudo, looks like I'm going to have to say sorry to you!"
“…… What do you mean? ”
"Actually, because you've been hanging around me lately, and you've been making me irritable. So in order to break you apart, I said something to my Maori classmates that was not very favorable to you. Anyway, she might have been suspicious of you lately......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Conan on the opposite side raise his wrist with a dark face, and aimed the crosshair of the watch scope at his head.
After a slight tingling, Lai Qixiao's eyes turned black and he lost consciousness.
…………
In the velvet room, Eagle still maintained a slightly terrifying smile on his face, and watched with Ravenda at the newly awakened Lai Qixiao in the prison.
After a while, Lai Qixiao, who had completely come to his senses, rubbed his forehead, still feeling a little paralyzed in his body.
"Damn!" Lai Qixiao couldn't help but shake the shackles of his hands and scolded angrily, "I actually couldn't dodge!" I was so careless! ”
"It seems that when you get along with that little ghost in the future, you should always be ready to open the third eye......
"Welcome back to my velvet room, guest, it seems that you have come here in a different way today."
Hearing Iger's slightly teasing greeting, Lai Qixiao became more and more ashamed, especially after seeing Lawenda, who was obviously holding back a smile, he was even more eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Alright, let's forget about it!" Lai Qixiao put on an indifferent look and tried to skip the topic, "Why did you come to me today?" ”
Eagle nodded cooperatively, and Ravenda followed suit to hide the smile on her face and put on her dignified and ladylike face again.
"Guest, first of all I would like to congratulate you on the light of the new Alcana that I have seen on your path." Eagle spread out the tarot card phantom in his palm, and among the twenty-one tarot cards, the pattern of four cards was clearly visible at this time.
"The Fool, the Empress, the Hermit, and this just-lit justice. Guest, these four Alcana forces are already shining in your future, and the bond between people is such a wonderful thing. ”
Eagle waved his hand slightly, and the righteous card that had just been condensed automatically flew into the hand of Ravenda on the side. She took the brand-new tarot card and said with a smile to Laiqixiao:
"The righteous Alcana, whose scales never go to the evil side, cannot shake even you. Now that the righteous justice has contributed to your resistance, please cherish this hard-won bond and not let this far immature justice break prematurely. ”
"And the growth of Alcana's power has also helped you inspire new powers."
The Personality Mask in Ravenda's hand is automatically opened, and the power of the pages melts with the righteous Arcana, and finally a new Personality Mask is born.
"This is the first personality mask from Justice, and I ask you to use it properly." Ravenda bowed slightly, handing the brand-new personality mask to Qi Xiao's hand.
"Remember, guest: the power of the personality mask is the power of the heart, and the power of the Alcana grows with your connection to others." Speaking of which, Ravenda spread out her soft palms to Qixiao, and an illusory tarot card emerged from it.
"When you have enough inner strength, guest, this Alcana called 'Power', which I have prepared, will also be at your disposal."
"Then it's a pity that it's time for us to meet today. The door to the velvet room is always open for you to welcome your next visit. ”
In a drowsy state, Lai Qixiao opened his eyes and found that the shackles and prison clothes on his body had disappeared, and he returned to the real world.
Lai Qixiao looked at the watch on his wrist and found that it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and he had been asleep for almost two hours because of the anesthetic needle.
At this time, he was the only one left in the house, and Conan, who came to rub the rice, ate the curry rice and went home with a smoke, leaving only a plate that had not been washed. There was also a note under the plate, and Lai Qixiao picked it up and looked at it, which read:
"It's not over yet! If Xiaolan suspects me later, you, the culprit, will definitely have to take responsibility for me! ”
"Besides, I still suggest that you go and cooperate with the police in their investigation, no one knows what kind of person the Phantom of the Strange Thieves is, in case his purpose is not pure, it will be troublesome."
“…… Could it be that in the future, I will have to be like the monster thief Kidd and Hattori Heiji, and secretly help him cover for his identity? Alas, what a self-inflicted sin! After sighing in annoyance, Lai Qixiao put the note in his pocket, then turned around and stepped into the kitchen.
There's no way, he hasn't even eaten a mouthful of hot food since he was anesthetized by Conan.
