Detective Conan: Beika Town's Complete Transformation into Los Santos

Page 51

Koizumi Akako's eyes were cold.

She was now impatient, because she had too much anger inside that needed to be vented.

Her magical abilities are ineffective against the tamperer, but they are effective against Phantom Thief Kid.

"Kaito Kid, blame your bad attitude and bad luck on me. All the methods that can't be used on Lin Che, I'm going to use on you today!"

"I'll torture you properly first, then make you kneel down and accept my chocolate, becoming my prisoner under the influence of magic."

Koizumi Akako's voice was very soft.

But the fifth-class steward was already feeling a chill.

......

Back at the castle, Koizumi Akako stepped through the magic door outlined by flames.

When she reappeared, the surroundings had become a cave, and she had changed out of her school uniform into the black nightgown she wore the day before.

The torches cast an eerie and sinister glow over the cave.

Directly in front of her was a large, ancestral earthenware pot, which was used specifically to brew various magical potions.

To the side and in front, there is a full-length mirror, which is the magic mirror.

Koizumi Akako walked to the pot and threw in various ingredients, finally adding Kuroba Kaito's hair.

"Gudu, Gudu, Gudu——"

Koizumi Akako glanced at the magic mirror and said calmly, "I already know the identity of Phantom Thief Kid. Divinate Kaito Kuroba's whereabouts and then show me the scene."

The magic mirror rippled like water. "My esteemed master, as you wish, but this will take a little time. Please be patient."

By the time Kaito Kuroba appeared in the Magic Mirror, Akako Koizumi had completed her preparations.

She sat on her throne, holding a straw man like a doll.

The straw man's appearance is almost identical to that of Phantom Thief Kid.

"It's a very ordinary curse spell, but it's perfect for venting your anger."

Koizumi Akako took out a needle and stabbed it into the straw man's stomach!

"Well--!"

far away.

While chatting with Terai Kinosuke in the bar, Kuroba Kaito suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and arched his back like a shrimp.

"Young Master! What's wrong?!"

"I......"

Kaito Kuroba wanted to say he was fine, but he couldn't bring himself to say it, and it wouldn't be convincing.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, my stomach felt like it was pricked with a needle just now."

The sharp pain lasted only a moment and has now subsided somewhat, but the cold sweat on my forehead just won't stop.

Terai Kinosuke was filled with worry. "Young master, could it be that there's something wrong with his stomach?"

"But I didn't eat anything indiscriminately..."

Before Kuroba Kaito could finish speaking, his forehead felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, causing him to fall backward off the high chair.

"Master!"

Old Huang was beginning to suspect that his young master was putting on an act to trick him.

But Kaito Kuroba suddenly raised his hand, "Wait!"

He thought of Koizumi Akako.

He had encountered similar inexplicable things while he was in school.

At that time, it was suppressed by an invisible force.

We are now being attacked by an invisible force.

He also had a hair pulled out by Koizumi Akako.

"Grandpa, are there any magicians or similar beings in this world?"

"Why...why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"Just tell me if you have it!"

Terai Kinosuke hesitated for a moment, but then said, "Indeed, they exist, but they are extremely rare, almost impossible to encounter in the mortal world. Could it be that you, young master,..."

Kaito Kuroba clenched his teeth, clearly feeling the resistance as his teeth over-clenched, and his hands trembled involuntarily.

Just a second ago, his arm was also pricked by a needle.

If he is simply sick, he will immediately call out to get care from Terai Kinosuke.

But this is the enemy!

Despite not knowing where Koizumi Akako was or whether she was watching him, he stubbornly refused to give in.

I don't want to show weakness!

But just then, Koizumi Akako's voice suddenly appeared, and it appeared directly in her mind, as if she were talking to herself in her mind!

"Kaito Kid, I'll give you one more chance to accept my chocolate."

"If you don't want to continue suffering, then come and see me immediately."

"I'll give you directions."

Inside the cave.

Koizumi Akako spoke softly into the magic mirror, feeling much better.

But her stress relief process is not yet complete.

“How could a servant’s journey to the Queen be smooth sailing?”

With a wave of her hand, Koizumi Akako conjured a new fiery portal in front of her.

She carried the straw effigy and slowly walked down from the throne.

Behind her, Kaito Kuroba in the magic mirror also staggered out of the bar, clutching his arm.

......

"It looks like it's going to snow."

Lin Che stood on the balcony and looked up at the night sky.

He didn't manage to catch anyone at the staking out location, but he checked the schedule information that Ai Haibara had found. The lazy senator didn't even go in person.

In addition, Kaito Kuroba's team was surprisingly efficient, so he simply came back first.

Lin Che lowered his eyes, holding two thin notebooks in his hands.

On the homepage, there is also a note left by Kaito Kuroba.

[I saw you were in a hurry, so I wrote it as concisely as possible, but don't worry, I've covered all the key points, including the most efficient practice methods.]

Lin Che shrugged.

It doesn't matter if it's brief or brief, he doesn't need to read it anyway.

A notification has popped up in the UI.

[Do you wish to learn Disguise (Max) and Voice Changer (Max)?]

"Yes."

The two notebooks did not disappear with his choice.

But the knowledge was directly integrated into Lin Che's mind in the form of skills.

Chapter 62 Red vs. White

Disguise and voice-changing are not as "money-losing" skills as those in my skill tree.

Learning these two skills has no cost, and you'll be at the maximum level right away.

Lin Che guessed that the level of such "external skills" should depend on the completeness of the skill itself when it was acquired.

If similar opportunities arise in the future, this can be used to determine whether the other party has manipulated things to deceive you.

He quickly reviewed the knowledge in his mind, then went back to his room and took out the custom-made disguise mask provided by Phantom Thief Kid, putting it on.

Before creating the disguised face, Kaito Kuroba did not make a face model for Lin Che.

Even by visual inspection alone, this custom-made disguised face is a perfect fit and almost flawless.

Lin Che closed his eyes and quietly experienced the feeling of wearing the disguise mask. When the coolness was almost gone, he went to the bathroom, turned on the light, and looked in the mirror.

Since she wasn't wearing a wig, her hairstyle remained the same. Her face shape was made fuller, which, combined with her figure, made her look quite robust and intimidating. Moreover, her facial lines outlined a fierce undertone, giving off a "keep away" vibe.

This is the disguised face used by Li Rusong.

Lin Che doesn't pursue good looks, he only pursues ruthlessness.

It needs to be inconspicuous in a crowd, yet intimidating enough to make the Japanese weak in the knees during a face-to-face confrontation.

"If my strength doesn't reach the level of an ultimate thug, I should be able to scare my target into a panic with just a glance."

Lin Che made various expressions in front of the mirror, portraying changes in his eyes.

Because the disguised face fits the real skin very well, the expressions can also be presented.

However, since it's not a part of his own body, Lin Che's actual expression needs to be "exaggerated" by about 20% in order to achieve the desired effect.

But actually, this has its advantages.

Small, subtle facial expressions better suit his persona, conveying an image of someone ruthless and taciturn.

Lin Che still has three custom-made disguise faces "savings" with Kuroba Kaito, which he will use later when needed.

Now it was his turn to fulfill his promise—to tell Kaito Kuroba about his relationship with Akako Koizumi and the content of their conversation.

Matters concerning black magic must be left unsaid.

However, we can use Koizumi Akako's witch identity to fill the gap; otherwise, if it's all dry and empty, Kuroba Kaito will definitely be dissatisfied and will want to cricket himself.

He used the identity of Kaito Kuroba to deal with Akako Koizumi.

Then, she will use Koizumi Akako's identity to deal with Kaito Kid.

I'm such a little genius.

Lin Che returned to the balcony, took out his phone, and called Kuroba Kaito directly.

the other side.

After leaving the bar, Kaito Kuroba was quickly forced into a sprint mode because Akako Koizumi not only limited his time but also only gave him directions.

"Who would call me at a time like this?!"

When he is out and about, he either doesn't carry a mobile phone or turns it off.

But I left in such a hurry this time that I haven't had time to deal with it yet.

Could it be Lin Che?

Kaito Kuroba's thoughts raced, and he ultimately decided to take a look first. If it weren't for Lin Che's call, he would have simply turned off his phone.

When they took it out, it really was.

"Huh...huh..."

Exhausted and panting heavily, Kaito Kuroba shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Just who is this woman, Koizumi Akako?!"

"What are you doing? Why are you breathing so heavily?"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me how to deal with Koizumi Akako. Her methods are too bizarre!"

"..."

Another sharp pain shot through his thigh, and Kaito Kuroba stumbled and nearly fell. The passersby on the street were all staring at him with astonishment.
