Chapter 567: Your silence is deafening
"I'm not kidding you, did I say it, this is something that can fulfill wishes."
After Tang Ze fully expressed his accusation against the garbage game operation and the profiteers, Leon, who had laughed enough, put the empty cup aside and said a little more seriously.
"Haven't I already collected them now? Or do you say that you paint me for so long that you don't tell me how to use it? Tang Ze shook the golden cup in his hand and sighed not very satisfied, "No matter what form it is, the store, the exchange, you have to show me what it is, right?" β
"This is not something for me to decide." Leon put down the empty cup and straightened his waiter's suit, "As I said, this is something that can 'grant wishes.'" Wish, that's actually ......"
He didn't continue to say the next words, but just squeezed his eyes at Tang Ze and made a look.
This expression also represents the next content, not the part that Leon can say clearly.
After a staged showdown, Tang Ze and his assistant already had a certain tacit understanding in this regard.
So Tang Ze also put away the funny evil look on his face, and stared down at the cup filled with golden substance.
ββ¦β¦ Desire, in fact, desire? Tang Ze thought for a while, and tentatively guessed, "This is a good guess, after all, it is something that is turned into a desire stone." β
Regarding what the desire stone is used for in the original work, due to the vagueness of the original work, Tang Ze actually doesn't know very well, only knows that it can be used to exchange for some accessories and other props, and its appearance and function are obviously not very different from Tang Ze's desire stone.
"Yes, desire, desire." Leon affirmed Donzer's statement, "It is a kind of crystallization formed by the collection of the power of distorted desires." So what do you think you should do with this kind of thing? β
"You also have to learn from the gray plain mourning, right, 'the miracle of what you wish for'...... Then can't I just make a wish? Tang Ze shook it twice, puzzled by Leon's tricks.
Make a wish or something, Tang Ze has not tried it, whether it is to make a wish for something outrageous, or to make a wish for some tangible props, it has not had any reaction.
"There are many kinds of wishes. In short, I'm afraid that the wish you made will not work. Leon shook his finger and said euphemistically, "If someone makes a wish to God and asks God to help him finish his holiday homework, you are God, and you also give him a big pocket." β
And in the final analysis, Tang Ze's neurotic wish is as if he has really written many homework himself.
Hoshikawa Hui, who struggles in the sea of questions every day, has something to say.
"That makes sense...... Tang Ze touched his chin and looked at the things in his hand, a little pity, "So, you mean, these jokes can't be counted, and you have to be religious." β
"yes, miracles don't come out that well." Leon spread his hands.
"A miracle?" Tang Ze turned the slender grip of the cup, and his thoughts couldn't help but diverge.
Probably because he is a time-traveler with too much supernatural information, these supernatural concepts and worldviews are actually more like some kind of inherent setting in his eyes, and they don't bring him too many feelings.
However, people who have really seen the cognitive world and experienced the ability of the monster thief of the heart are certainly not as plain as him.
Tang Ze remembered that the first time he took Hoshikawa Hui into the hall of Shigehiko Swallowing, Hoshikawa Hui's face was shocked and he couldn't speak at all......
Tang Ze's heart moved, and he suddenly had a little realization.
"The end of cognitive learning is the power of making one's wishes come true...... So, I have to have a desire as strong as enough to give birth to a temple in order to really drive them? Tang Ze raised his head and met Leon's golden eyes.
Leon blinked, and the light in the bar reflected through his eyes, small dots of light that were exactly the same as what Tang Ze was holding.
"You've finally figured it out." Leon bowed his head heavily, "The cognitive world, in the final analysis, is the gap between the material world and the spiritual world, and it is itself a projection of the human spirit, a shadow of the material world...... Without a strong desire or a strong will, it is impossible to step into this world. β
"Sincerity is spirit." Tang Ze threw the cup in his hand, "Then it's a pity to give me this thing to use." As a traverser, I lack reverence for these things, and it's hard for me to really make a wish...... If it were used by someone else, it might actually work wonders. β
Leon picked up the rag by the bar and slowly wiped down the new empty cup he had just brought out, but did not answer.
Tang Ze, who thought that Leon would answer, waited for a few seconds, and saw that Leon had been silent, and looked over with some surprise.
Leon just continued to wipe his glass silently.
Tang Ze's expression froze.
These few seconds of silence were deafening.
"Wait a minute, this thing is really only for me, right? It's something from my velvet room, and I can't take it out. β
Leon stared at Tang Ze for a while, the movements in his hands did not change in the slightest, but the corners of his mouth were slowly hooked.
This smile, damn reminded Tang Ze of the ending scene of the movie he had just watched - Amuro Toru, who had basically determined his identity, looked at him without any awareness of this, and walked into the cafΓ© as usual.
ββ¦β¦ So actually, can you take it out and use it?! Understanding what he meant from his narrow silence, Tang Ze's tone couldn't help but rise an octave.
Damn, he knows his velvet room is outrageous, but it's so outrageous, it's outrageous!
His assistant is a clone of his soul, and there are even entities that can be observed by others, and it is already outrageous to the sky to be able to come out of the velvet room at any time and do something for Tang Ze in the material world.
Can you still take out the things in his velvet room and give them to people?!
Tang Ze stared at Leon for a while, then at the cup in his hand for a while, and his eyes quietly turned to the menu that Leon had placed on the other side of the bar.
That's the whole book of Tang Ze's personality mask.
I don't know if it's to match the decoration, or if it's like this in Tang Ze's velvet room, his personality mask is all over the book, and there is a layer of book cover with "MENU" written on the outside - Lyon said it was a book cover anyway.
Although it is placed here, the painting style is indeed the same, but when Tang Ze was idle and had nothing to do with the concave mask, he saw Leon dressed as a bartender holding this menu and ordering there, and he felt that something was still wrong.
"That won't work." Leon reached out to cover his menu and said gently, "This is Persona, not PokΓ©mon." β
"That's ......" Tang Ze looked away, his mouth promised, and other thoughts had already turned in his heart.
Well, why don't you find a chance to steal the book and try it.
There is only a wild world, how lonely as snow.
Then his gaze turned to the wine rack behind the bar, his eyes flickering, eager to try.
ββ¦β¦ I can't wait to experience what it's like to fight with my assistant, so I can shine my blood bar. Leon, who didn't know Tang Ze anymore, grinned without smiling, "Is there a possibility, it's because I know your nature too well that I don't have the authority to tell you these things." If I had told you, you would have wanted to use all my carpets. β
Tang Ze, who was hit by what he said, cleared his throat.
One thing to say, indeed, if this kind of operation is detected earlier......
What should we do, we RPG players are like this?
Sighing helplessly, Leon put the shiny cup that he had wiped back on the bar, and with a flick of his fingers, the new long lust stone hanging on Tang Ze's brooch shattered into fluttering gold dust and fell into the bottom of the brand-new empty cup.
"Alright, let's go out with your stuff, don't bother me."
ββββ
Ruthlessly thrown out of the velvet room by the annoyed assistant, Tang Ze walked out of the alley and saw several familiar people standing in front of the cafΓ© door muttering something.
"Tang Ze doesn't seem to be there. Isn't it rude for us to go straight in? Glancing at Toru Amuro, Hattori Heiji, who was a little dazed, rubbed his neck.
Although I have long known that the boss of Akechi Goro is Tang Ze's temporary guardian, when I really stand on other people's turf, I still feel different.
Especially at the beginning, in order to find out the wisdom of Tang Ze's situation, he was almost like a scoundrel, no matter how Amuro Toru hinted openly and secretly, he just sat in the detective agency and refused to leave, which annoyed Amuro enough.
At the time, he didn't think there was a big problem, but now when the Venerable Master was playing at home, he finally had the feeling that he had offended his parents.
"Maybe in the attic." Conan pointed to the staircase leading to the mezzanine level in the store, "Go in and say hello." β
"Let's give him a call first......" Glancing at Amuro's busy back again, Hattori Heiji decided to play it safe.
"A few of you are here." Tang Ze, who knew very well what Hattori Heiji was coercing, took a few seconds to adjust his uncontrollable smile and walked to the door of the store freely, "I'm sorry, I went to the convenience store to buy something, and I came back a little late." Why don't you go in? β
"Convenience store, ah......" Hattori Heiji glanced at the alley that Tang Ze walked out of, and repeated the word in a low voice, feeling a little strange in his heart.
Ran to the convenience store, so he came back late or something, how did he feel as if he had heard this sentence somewhere......
"Business is so good, isn't it a bit of a trouble for you to come to eat." Hattori Heiji muttered in his heart, but he was still polite.
"It's okay, I said hello to Miss Enomoto and Mr. Amuro in advance." Picking up the books he threw down from the table at the door, Tang Ze led them into the cafΓ©, "Instead of dwelling on troublesome things, they are still happy that I can make new friends." β
Karasawa has lived in Tokyo for a few months, and he has indeed made many friends, but the relationship with the other students at the school is cold, and Azusa Enomoto has expressed concern.
Although Tang Ze used his own few friends in Kyoto to try to prove that the current situation was already very good, after listening to it, Enomoto Azusa not only did not let go, but became more worried.
"If you count us in the range of friends, Tang Zejun, aren't the only peers you really make friends with are Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko? Get to know more friends your age! β
If you can bring a high school student with two fresh faces to the store, Azusa Enomoto is definitely welcome.
"That's right......" Hattori Heiji exchanged glances with Kazuha Toyama and nodded to each other.
It seems that Suzuki Sonoko's worries are indeed not groundless, and Tang Ze's social situation is indeed quite strange.
Peers,In addition to the same class of Mao Liran and Suzuki Sonoko,Only Kudo,He,And the wise Goro who makes people feel bad.,The next three are all detectives.,And it seems that they are all "working relationships" entrusted by him.γ
The other friends are either elementary school students who are very young and feel that they can't provide any emotional value and have to worry about him, or they are Toru Amuro and Sohisa Iwai, etc., with an age difference of more than 10 years, more like elders than friends.
Outside of school, his time is basically left to the detectives and Gray Plains, and at school, he has a cold relationship with his classmates because of his previous unhappiness, and it is difficult to get close.
It is true that you should take him out to travel more and meet some new friends......
Karasawa didn't feel that there was a problem with his social circle, and his social scope was very much in line with the original, and he didn't know what they were thinking, but while taking care of Enomoto Azusa, he introduced the cafΓ©'s signature dish: "If Mr. Amuro is here today, would you like to try seafood pasta?" Well, that was the first dinner I had here, and it was an impressive meal...... Eh, didn't Lan come with you? β
"Oh, it's not called Xiaolan...... Sister. Realizing that there was a distant mountain and a leaf in the crowd, Conan turned a corner, "She made an appointment with Sister Yuanzi, and she is going out shopping today." β
As he spoke, he also glanced at the bag that was tightly tugging at Hattori Heiji, and probed his brain behind him, like a small animal, distant mountains and leaves.
It's because of Hattori Heiji's unappointment that Toyama and Leaf, who are angry, haven't completely dispelled their hostility and vigilance towards Maoriran, and they have called people over for dinner, which is a bit of a Shura field.
"Seafood pasta, huh?" Azusa Enomoto, who came over with a drink, put the tray in front of them and took it with a smile, "I know you want to eat this, so prepare the ingredients in advance." β
"My Coffee ......"
"There was no sugar, the candy box was taken away by Mr. Amuro, you can talk to him yourself."
"Ah......h
No way, the double thrilling experience of falling off the horse and social death is still in his mind, and he needs a little time to adjust to a comfortable state, and in a short period of time he is a little more stunned than the current Hattori Heiji.
Thinking of what he saw in the hall, the disgraced Tang Ze resigned himself to taking a sip of bitter coffee and turned his head to look at Conan.
Now that I think about it, I found that in the first two days, the biggest unlucky guy was not himself who was stripped of his vest, it seemed that it was the guy in front of him.
Toru Amuro, although he once doubted the identity of Kudo Shinichi, but as Conan's identity surfaced, his connection with Joker proved impossible.
Tang Ze has also said before that Joker, Conan, and Kudo Shinichi are an impossible triangle, and he can't be three of them at the same time, as long as he achieves two identities, the third is bound to be impossible.
Amuro is not stupid, and he knows this very well.
Just like he saw in the movie, Amuro would ask Karasawa about "Kudo Shinichi may be a monster thief joker" and "Edogawa Conan may be Kudo Shinichi", more to test Karasawa's own reaction than to exchange information with him.
Regarding the problem of Joker and their appearance on the same stage, Amuro's strong words are a little outrageous on Conan, but they are very likely to be realized.
Tang Ze, who didn't realize that he was on the verge of being exposed, chose to clear up unnecessary grievances for Conan in order to explain the situation, and by the way, affirmed that Conan was indeed Kudo Shinichi.
At that time, Tang Ze felt that he was retreating and selling a little real information, which would make his later statements more convincing.
However, now that he pinched his fingers, he couldn't help but not fool the other party, and completely fell off the horse in front of Amuro Toru, and he also completely stripped off Conan's vest, back and forth, a net loss of two.
Tang Ze, who was a little guilty, fumbled in his pocket, took out something, and handed it to Conan.
"What's that?" Conan, who had just taken a sip of the drink, was caught off guard by something as cold as Tang Ze's stuffing, and lowered his head strangely and looked at his hand.
This is a piece of golden metalwork, with a cool meaning to the touch, and it is not clear what it is made of.
It's a weird feel, it's obviously polished very smooth, and there is not much mirror reflection in the light, and you can only see a little blurred light and shadow on the surface.
Some strange associations crossed his mind, and Conan suddenly remembered many golden things, especially ......
At the beginning, Pisk, the joker who appeared at the scene to relieve the siege of Gray Plains, was taken out by Gin on the rooftop, and I don't know what inexplicably suppressed the scene.
Considering that it was Tang Ze who took out the things......
Conan carefully observed the one in his hand for a while, the carving was a bit like a skull, but it was inexplicably like a gold ornament with a few leaves, and raised his head again, looked at Tang Ze's expression, and his face became serious.
Could it be that Tang Ze has made any new discoveries about cognitive science and wants to come to him to exchange opinions......
However, Tang Ze's next words directly made his expression completely cracked.
"Conan-kun, ...... you" Tang Ze looked at him with a serious face and asked with a solemn expression, "Do you have any dreams?" β
ββ¦β¦ Ha? β
