Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

After throwing out one shot, Sano waited for the result.

"In random enhancement, congratulations to the host's ghost coat for being enhanced, the enhancement is successful..."

Sano was immediately stunned when he heard the result.

What did you win?

That piece of junk equipment? ?

Um? ? ?

What do you mean, the co-created equipment can be strengthened twice?

After reacting, Sano hesitantly returned to the room and took out the coat.

After the effect content appears in front of you.

Sano was now convinced that the thing he had drawn this time was indeed this thing...

That's fine, let's see if the garbage will still be garbage after it super-evolves.

Tsk, the more I think about it, the less sure I am.

After all, a salted fish is still a salted fish even if it turns over.

Reinforcement item name: Ghost Coat (+).

Grade: B.

Effect:

1. Haunted by evil spirits (use it to summon a physical evil spirit with basic attributes of 50. This evil spirit only has weak ability to act independently).

2. Ghost against the wall - five senses control (used on a single person or a dead object that exists alone, it can summon a non-existent phantom evil spirit, which will possess the object and then affect or even control the five senses of the creature. , the strength of the effect will be determined according to the will attribute of different objects).

Restrictions: The effect is haunted by evil spirits. When summoned, the physical evil spirit cannot appear in any observed place, and the summoning location will be modified according to the situation; the effect ghost hits the wall - the use of five-sense control consumes mental energy, and at the same time There can only be a maximum of ten phantom evil spirits that exist.

Note: Hearing is false, seeing is believing...?

Sano frowned slightly after reading everything, and showed an interested expression after letting go.

This thing seems interesting, right?

Speaking of which, what was the original effect?

Sano frowned again and thought for a while... He couldn't remember much. He only remembered that a ghost hitting the wall could forcefully control the start for one second, but he would get lost.

I have forgotten how long the lost state will last.

The clear change is the addition of a plus sign after the name.

The effect of being haunted by evil spirits seems to have been there before, but the specific effect has been changed.

Ghost Wall has an additional suffix... The effect should be expanded and strengthened. Of course, the most critical thing is the change in restrictions.

Not to mention the former, the summoning effect is similar to that of living equipment.

The problem lies with the latter.

... It often consumes physical energy, but it consumes mental energy.

This was Sano's first time seeing him - anyway, it would be fine if he didn't become a roadie.

The upper limit for phantom evil spirits is ten, which is not much to say.

After putting on his coat, Sano directly activated the Haunting Demon.

Black mist rose from Sano's body, and almost instantly it was next to him, condensing into a black figure about the same height as himself.

Physical evil spirits.

Is this what it looks like?

In terms of body shape, he is similar to Sano, he is just an ordinary person.

The difference is that this thing is completely black.

Sano pulled the evil spirit's head, especially the face.

There was no hair, no ears, no nose, just a pair of big red lantern eyes, and... a mouth that didn't even have teeth inside.

Sano nodded thoughtfully.

At night, he should be a very good assassin.

In addition, this thing will also modify the summoning position according to the situation. If it is controlled, it will suddenly appear in the blind spot of the enemy's sight.

That's an excellent sneak attack.

After squeezing the flesh of the physical evil spirit, uh, tendons, Sano thought for a moment and chose to put on the special attack suit, then opened his mouth, and then chose to recite silently in his heart.

"Come on, hit me."

The evil spirit made no movement at all.

...Sure enough, it’s not possible to issue orders just by thinking.

Then you need to give instructions verbally, which is a bit troublesome.

"Come on, hit me."

This time Sano spoke, but the evil spirit didn't say anything, just raised his hand and punched him.

Sano looked at the infamous fist.

The speed is not slow, but it's not too fast either, especially if it relies solely on brute force and no technical assistance... Speaking of which, there are no real muscles in this thing at all, so it's impossible to use it. Skill?

Sano was distracted and took the punch forcefully.

Just like the speed of the punch, the strength is also so-so...

After all, the values ​​are here, there won't be any big errors.

"call out!"

Before Sano could react, the second punch came again.

Sano subconsciously avoided it, his face full of confusion.

What happened? Why did it get out of control?

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing that he had raised his leg for the third time, Sano probably reacted.

"stop!"

The offensive came to a sudden halt.

The evil spirit remained motionless with its legs raised.

...As expected, I couldn't even understand the content of the instruction accurately.

The degree of artificial mental retardation...is about the same?

This is a bit unlucky.

Is this the original meaning of weak ability to act independently?

Sano was speechless and scratched his head. As expected, garbage can only be garbage...

Um?

Suddenly, Sano noticed something was wrong.

It has a weak ability to act autonomously, and it does not say that it does not have the ability to act involuntarily... Could it be that there is actually a second method of control?

Is it as practical as a clone?

Sano immediately began to try and directly control all the movements of the evil spirit.

However... it was of no use.

Since I had no idea where to start, I could only stare at the pair of red lanterns.

Wait a minute, did you misunderstand something?

Sano stared at the ability to move independently for a while and thought about it, and finally started to try.

"Mop the floor for me."

The evil spirit picked up the mop on the side and started swishing...

Well, actually it was just a drag.

Is it because I used the expression "drag it"?

"Dip the mop in water, wring it out, and then mop the entire floor clean."

Sano spoke again, and the evil spirits obeyed.

But at least after mopping the floors at Sano's house, this thing didn't go out with a mop in an attempt to complete the task of "mopping all the floors clean."

For more vague instructions, the details will be determined based on the situation. In other words, if you want to effectively achieve the goal, you still have to refine the instruction content.

In this way, as long as you get used to it, there shouldn't be any problems.

...For example, it may be the so-called AI domestication.

It's just that the person responsible for understanding and evolving here is Sano... As for his living equipment, they are exactly the same.

The only problem now is the way the instructions are issued.

Sano doesn't have any ideas in this regard for the time being.

If you have to say it, try to install a headset on this thing and see if it can be commanded remotely?

After coming back to his senses, Sano directly took back the evil spirit.

...It's not that Sano is too lazy to even try, it's just that compared to this addition, he is more concerned about the main force behind... Of course, it's hard to say whether it is the main force or not, but it does not prevent him from being interested. .

Black mist drifted out again.

But what is different from the last round is the evil spirit condensed this time.

It is not an entity.

Not to mention that the whole figure is very illusory, with only half of the body. The lower half is connected to the coat in the form of smoke, and the upper half is floating.

There seems to be no difference from before.

Sano opened the window next to him and randomly selected a lucky passerby who happened to be passing by. The phantom evil spirit immediately rushed out and bumped into the person head-on.

The evil spirit wrapped around the man's body, as if this was a ghost haunting him...

cough.

But even though he was entangled by the evil spirit, the passerby didn't feel anything was wrong, nor did he show any abnormality...

This is different from the past. Sano is naturally not talking about the immediate effectiveness of the effect, but that in the past, phantom evil spirits were visible.

That's right.

The phantom evil spirit doesn't really exist, it's just something close to a special effect.

This special effect cannot be seen by anyone except Sano and the person using it.

in other words.

In addition to Sano himself, at least the target can also see it.

Sano couldn't remember how many times he had used this thing earlier.

What is certain at present is that two guys who were squatting in the prison said afterward that they saw something unclean on Sano's body.

One is the old woman who locked up her son during the haunted house incident.

The other one tried to sneak attack Sano, but was beaten in return, and before he passed out, he retorted and pretended to be a master of swordsmanship.

Of course, no one believed what these two people said... except for a certain reporter.

So much so that later on there appeared, "The cursed high school detective", "The famous high school detective's life is short", "The high school detective who crawled out of hell", and even "The high school detective who came back from the dead", " Outrageous rumors such as "The Ghost of the High School Detective"...especially when coupled with the "fact" that Sano committed suicide, it really seems a little bit interesting.

cough.

Better luck.

None of these reports became popular, at least they didn't cause Sano any unnecessary trouble... Speaking of which, that guy is really brave.

Fortunately for that guy, even Sano himself didn't see these things until a long time later.

Later, we have already "cooperated", and there is really no need to look for trouble...

Anyway, all in all, now a small bug has been fixed?

Back to the topic.

The phantom evil spirit actually takes effect immediately.

It's just that the singularity did not appear on the object of use immediately. Instead, it appeared on Sano's side... It was a second perspective... To be precise, it was the sensory experience of the second consciousness.

It's almost the same feeling as when Sano separated his clone.

Sano could very clearly share the sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch of that passerby...the road in front of him, the sound of cars in the distance, the faint smell of the trash can on the other side, the smell of alcohol remaining in his mouth, and The breeze hits the body, and the skin of the soles of the feet touches the ground.

The difference between the two is that from the "perspective" of the clone, Sano can freely control the body, but this is not possible... huh?

I almost forgot what I was going to do.

After thinking for a while, Sano finally successfully found the entrance just before the passerby left his sight. He tried to imagine that from the second "perspective", a car suddenly appeared on the road in front of him.

"ah!"

The passerby immediately screamed and sat down on the ground in fright.

When he came back to his senses, the car in front of him had disappeared.

The shocked passerby immediately raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then looked around.

"Strange, am I dazzled?"

"...What's the dazzle?"

A cold voice came from his ears, and passers-by were startled again and turned around quickly.

But there was nothing behind him.

Before passers-by could frown, a rope was suddenly put around his neck from behind.

Under great force, passers-by hurriedly tried to peel off the rope, but it was of no use.

The pain in my neck was getting stronger and stronger.

This also makes it increasingly difficult for passers-by to breathe.

...Is this thing so awesome? It's already like this and it's not even awake yet?

Sano hid behind the gap in the window, watching with interest as the passerby strangled his own neck, and strangled him harder and harder. He was obviously about to suffocate, but he still didn't let go, as if he would strangle himself to death at any time.

Five senses?

Sano canceled the effect and closed the window, not intending to care at all.

What kind of psychological fluctuations will there be behind that lucky passerby.

The results just obtained can only be used as a reference, what are the specifics.

It has to be tested on experimental subjects with high will attributes.

But besides this, there is another object that needs to be tested...

dead.

Sano looked around the room and placed his target on the trash can.

There is nothing wrong with influencing or even controlling the five senses of the user.

What does it mean to use it on dead objects that exist alone?

The five senses that control the trash can? ? ?

Sano was too lazy to think about it, and the phantom evil spirit directly entangled the trash can.

Then, Sano got another "perspective"... Ahem, the "perspective" here is naturally not that of the trash can, but his own.

What do you mean by your two "perspectives"?

Sano first modified one of the "perspectives" based on his previous experience.

But there was no movement at all, not even to the other one.

Until Sano put the revised points on the trash can.

The trash can in one of the "perspectives" suddenly turned into a human being.

...Area-scale group manipulation?

Sano gradually understood the inner meaning of the two ways of using facial features control.

Wait a moment.

That being said.

Sano summoned another physical evil spirit with his backhand.

…

"Did you see Rye on the train that day?"

In a cafe, Sano and Toru Amuro, wearing black fox vests, sat opposite each other.

"who?"

Sano pretended to be confused and said: "If you mean to kill the sniper after you left, I remember that I should have told you that I didn't see it."

Toru Amuro frowned... Indeed, after that step on the train, in the follow-up work, he asked the black fox if he saw who it was that fired the shot to save him. The people below were killed.

The answer was naturally no.

Toru Amuro wasn't worried at that time, but when he returned to Tokyo and learned a series of things on the Suzuki Tower, he became different again.

In particular, América officials also provided information about the "Black Organization".

It was deliberately leaked to Neon officials.

...Do you want to use your own side as a spearman and be the one who stands out?

Amuro Toru couldn't help but snorted in his heart, the thought was quite beautiful.

But no matter what, it did happen on Toru Amuro's territory.

The parties involved were also in neon.

America may be willing to wait a little longer, but Toru Amuro is different.

... If Rye and Black Cat appear at the same time, will they be trying to frighten people by pulling on the skin of the organization?

It feels unlikely.

Even if Rye is here, using the name of the organization is a bit excessive...and if that's the case, it should be called a distillery.

In addition, since América deliberately leaked this information, she must have noticed some clues and did not think it was a bullshit.

...It's really a headache. If I had known that things would turn out like this, I shouldn't have done that task. I could just find any reason to postpone it for a day or two.

Toru Amuro took a sip of wine in some depression, but his peripheral vision rested on the black fox opposite him... This person's origins were unknown, and he was secretly involved with Rye.

If the "Black Organization" really exists.

So could this guy also be from that organization?

On the opposite side, Sano looked out the window, the smile on his lips even wider.

Sano was not surprised that Amuro Toru would seek out the Black Fox.

But it was a bit surprising to find him so quickly.

Forget it, it’s a trivial matter that doesn’t matter, I just happened to be thinking about it.

Which person with high will attribute should be chosen as the experimental subject? Since this has been delivered to the door by himself, Sano naturally cannot let it go.

After a sudden thought, the phantom evil spirit itself was entangled, turning the black coat into the black kimono he used to wear, and black mist floated around his body.

go!
