Chapter 203 The spirit behind the scenes
Chapter 203 The spirit behind the scenes
"Draco, is that the elementary school detective?" Edogawa Ranpo looked as if he was very interested in Edogawa Conan.
"Why do the police listen to him so much?" Edogawa Ranpo's eyes widened when he saw Officer Higurashi who arrived later and was being led around by Conan.
"It's unfair. When the famous detective is working on a case, there are always a lot of idiots who refuse to cooperate! What right does he have? Is he better than the famous detective?" He complained dissatisfiedly.
I felt a little happier after seeing the little boy being punched on the head by a middle-aged man with a mustache.
Yeah, that's right! I always feel uncomfortable looking at this kid. Why? And... an elementary school student? It doesn't look like...
Ranpo stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
"Edogawa Conan, whose real identity is high school detective Shinichi Kudo, is known as the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era" and the "savior of the Japanese police."
"He was ambushed while trying to follow a member of the Black Organization and was drugged with a poison codenamed 'APTX4869'. Although he survived, his body shrank to that of a first-grade student."
"He then sought the help of Professor Agasa, and when his childhood sweetheart, Ran Maoli, asked him his name, he changed his name to Edogawa Conan."
"At the suggestion of Dr. Agasa, he stayed at the home of Yu Lan's father, Maori Kogoro, and not only solved various cases, but also secretly investigated the Black Organization."
"As for his various preferential treatments and unusual behavior, why didn't anyone notice? Haha... he is the son of destiny after all." Draco cast a spell around the three of them to shield them.
People outside cannot hear them speaking and will subconsciously ignore them.
Who wouldn't praise this person as the silver bullet that can defeat the organization? Draco looked at the jumping little figure, his eyes full of sarcasm. No wonder Pansy and the others were making such slow progress...
Moreover, he discovered something interesting.
"Draco, what...what is that?" Ranpo pointed at the big black mass behind Conan Edogawa curiously and hesitantly.
"Can you see?" Draco was a little surprised. He didn't feel any other power from Edogawa Ranpo. So was it a problem with the world or some other reason?
"I didn't at first, but I saw it after staring at the child for a long time." It seemed that when he began to doubt the identity of the child, the black unknown thing glanced at him.
Then he could see. However, that thing exuded a strong sense of malice...
"Oh, looks like you're being targeted." Draco understood.
Harry was also a little curious, and he and Ranpo looked at Draco eagerly.
Draco didn't mean to keep them in suspense.
"It's a guardian spirit, but it's contaminated by an outsider." Draco still remembered what was written in the book Merlin gave him.
"Edogawa Conan, no, Kudo Shinichi should have been the son of destiny from the beginning. The world had no intention of changing the world line at that time, but outsiders, that is, some dirty things outside the world, set their sights on this world."
"This world itself isn't particularly strong. It's one that sticks to the scientific path, so it's powerless against outsiders. At the last moment, he traded his core for a time-space reversal, which opened up the second round."
"But unfortunately, his son of destiny had a guardian spirit contaminated by the evil thoughts left by outsiders. When he regained consciousness from his weakness, the guardian spirit behind his son of destiny had already merged with his destiny."
Draco scoffed. "What do you think of this world?" It's no exaggeration to say that the world's consciousness is naive and stupid.
Just look at the child of destiny he chose: arrogant and reckless, acting without regard for the consequences. Righteous and brave? Single-minded and persistent? It's a bit funny.
"This guardian spirit will have a spiritual impact on those besides the host, amplifying the evil thoughts in those around them." No wonder that kid died wherever he went. "And the stronger the host's luck, the stronger it becomes."
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing has already reached the point where it's affecting some of the host's closest people. For example, his closest friend, Mao Lilan, has become increasingly irritable and like a tool."
"It will gradually transform into what he wants it to be." Edogawa Ranpo said after a pause. He quickly understood what Draco meant and quickly identified each person with their own identity at a glance.
Ran Maori, is that the girl behind the uncle with the mustache just now?
It's kind of sad, life is out of your control.
Draco nodded, confirming Ranpo's words. "Ranpo, do you know that Maori Kogoro's body is already riddled with wounds?"
"Hmm? Let me see... drinking? No, drugs? What drugs? Is it related to that kid? Anesthetic injection?" Ranpo looked at Kogoro Mouri over there, his eyes fixed on the watch in Conan's hand.
Then, he saw an "extremely wonderful" reasoning.
Huh? Why aren't you looking at that old man? Is he really asleep? And that Conan guy is too obvious, isn't he? Is he just hiding behind someone? This is a street? There are people everywhere.
Ranpo felt that this world was really a little crazy.
"No wonder you're worried about Pansy and Hermione," Harry thought. When watching Detective Conan, Theodore said it felt less and less scientific as the series progressed, with everyone acting like Conan's tools.
Fred said that although this is unscientific, it is scientific. He and George are also developing a prop similar to Dr. Agasa's, saying it will definitely sell well.
Harry thought so too. The shoe could blow up a satellite. Tony would definitely be interested. He'd been curious about magic for a long time.
Oh, by the way, Tony is the son of Howard Stark, an American partner of Lucius before they entered Hogwarts. He is ten years older than them.
Originally, Tony didn't like the two of them very much. After all, there was a big age gap between them and they couldn't play together. However, just before Hogwarts started, when they and Lucius went to deal with matters in the United States, they happened to rescue the Starks.
Tony has matured a lot since then. He no longer quarrels with Howard and is full of curiosity about Draco and the others.
After all, he was the one who deleted the surveillance records, so he naturally saw the power of unscientific thinking. Since then, the relationship between the three of them has progressed by leaps and bounds.
"Pansy and Hermione must be pissed." Although Draco had no good impression of this world after entering here, he couldn't help laughing when he thought of Pansy and Hermione's angry looks.
Edogawa Ranpo nodded. It would be really annoying if he tried for a long time and found that no matter what he did, things were back to the starting point. He couldn't change it and he couldn't kill the enemy.
"Xiaolong, do you want to deal with that thing?" Harry glanced indifferently at Conan and others not far away.
He has no feelings and doesn't care about this world or the people in it.
Everyone said he was a savior and thought he must be kind and brave, but he was not like that.
"Actually, I'm very curious about what will happen after the guardian spirit disappears." After all, the guardian spirit is completely entangled with the fortune of the Son of Fortune. It is very easy to get rid of it, but the Son of Fortune is not so lucky.
When the case was over and the murderer knelt down and cried as he explained his motive for murder, the three of them removed the magic around them.
It's a very simple case. Two sisters fell in love with the same person at the same time. That person always liked the lively younger sister. Then the elder sister shot her younger sister out of jealousy and wanted to frame that person.
It's just that she cried so pitifully, and her words portrayed herself as very infatuated, while her sister and her sister's boyfriend played the roles of a scumbag and a bitch.
Many people around showed sympathy.
Ranpo was really confused when he saw this scene. "Why didn't the police arrest the murderer and take her back for questioning? She still had the murder weapon in her hand, didn't she?"
Ranpo was confused and shocked. Could this guardian spirit be so powerful? Just a moment ago, he felt that his thoughts were also controlled. How could he think this was normal?
Ranpo hid behind Draco dejectedly. He didn't like this feeling.
Draco patted Ranpo Edogawa, who was much taller than him, soothingly, and cast a purification spell on Ranpo.
The golden light flashed by so quickly that no one noticed. Even if someone had seen it, they would have simply thought it was due to the beautiful weather.
Although Ranpo's voice was not loud, the scene was very quiet and everyone heard it.
Many people were visibly stunned. Yeah, why were they listening to this? And why were they even trying to comfort this person? No matter what, killing is wrong, right?
It was Draco's fault. The invisible light element surrounding him could dispel some of the negative energy around him.
Everyone who had been affected and whose minds were confused had regained some of their rationality.
Officer Higurashi was also stunned for a moment, then quickly ordered his subordinates to restrain the woman. Then he thought about it for a while and felt that it was strange. Why did he always have to wait for the murderer to finish speaking his difficulties?
Conan was stunned and looked in the direction of the sound. There were three outstanding young men.
One... should it be platinum? A foreign kid with platinum hair and gray-blue eyes, delicate and beautiful. There were two others with black hair and blue eyes, like brothers. The younger one had deep features, though. Was he mixed race? Half-siblings?
Various speculations flashed through Conan's mind rapidly, and he subconsciously touched his chin and began to think.
Mao Lilan inadvertently saw this familiar action and her eyes became suspicious.
This action...isn't it Shinichi's favorite?
Details that she had previously ignored came to her mind, and her eyes became complicated when she thought of the overt and covert reminders from her two new friends.
Conan... no, Shinichi... it's you...
Conan Edogawa was inexplicably attracted by the three people over there and did not notice Mouri Ran's reaction.
His detective intuition made him instinctively feel that the three people had a secret, and the danger radar in his mind kept sounding the alarm.
Even though they were so close, he didn't notice them before they spoke... There must be something wrong with these three people!
Edogawa Conan's eyes suddenly became sharp. Looking at the three people approaching, he secretly became alert.
Draco, Harry and Edogawa Ranpo passed by Conan Edogawa and his group as if nothing had happened. Draco stretched lazily as if unintentionally, waved his hand over Conan's head, and then took it back as if he was grabbing something.
Conan didn't pay attention, because he only felt a feeling of weakness spread throughout his body. He staggered a few steps and was quickly supported by Ran Mouri.
Conan felt dizzy, had tinnitus, and black eyes at first, and then a tearing pain came over him.
In a trance, he seemed to hear a shrill scream, and then... his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Mao Lilan was startled and quickly asked Officer Higurashi, who was still there, to help take her still unconscious father and Conan, who had suddenly fainted, to the hospital. Her pretty face was full of panic.
Draco didn't look back, but instead used light elements to densely wrap the guardian spirit that he had forcibly compressed without leaving any gaps.
He squeezed it gently, and the dirty thing instantly disappeared from this world without even leaving any ashes.
He raised the hand that had just held the dirty thing and took a look, pouting, with a little mysophobia attack.
Harry had already taken out the wet wipes he had prepared, gently pulled Draco's hand over, lowered his eyes, and carefully wiped Draco's hand clean.
Ranpo's eyes were sparkling, and they all showed that he wanted to learn two words.
Draco originally wanted to refuse directly, but he suddenly remembered that Edogawa Ranpo seemed to be able to see guardian spirits. Maybe there was some extra power in his body due to the fusion of the worlds?
He looked at Ranpo carefully again, and it seemed...indeed...there was a strange energy in Ranpo.
And it’s different from superpowers.
He suddenly thought of the world of kings that he had not yet visited, and some guesses came to his mind.
"Ranpo-sama is very good~" Draco didn't need to say it, Ranpo had already seen it from Draco's expression.
He put his hands on his hips proudly: "Hehe~ I will work hard quietly and then surprise everyone in the detective agency!" He laughed out loud thinking about the scene where the president encouraged him and allowed him to eat snacks without restrictions.
Draco and Harry couldn't help but laugh. Edogawa Ranpo was a character they all loved, and now that he was a real person, not only did they not feel disappointed, but they liked him even more.
He is like a child who will never grow up and does not need to grow up. He is always pure and always keeps a childlike heart.
"Ahem, Ranpo, it's not magic." Draco interrupted Ranpo's fantasy.
"Huh?" Ranpo looked at Draco in disbelief several times before finally accepting the reality. "Okay..." He wasn't interested in that world of kings; magic was what attracted him the most!
Especially potions!
"It's very interesting, but I don't understand their capabilities yet. How about we go and take a look together after we're done here? Call the president and the others." Draco understood Ranpo.
"Okay! Join the president, everyone from the Armed Detective Agency, Draco, Harry, and your friends!"
Ranpo is really easy to satisfy.
Especially with friends.
