Corpse collector in Conan

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xia walked around among the police again.

Then I successfully obtained some information.

——According to Hattori Heiji’s reasoning, Takeda Shinichi is using puppets for drug trafficking.

However, after the police inspected the puppets in the Takeda family's inventory, they found that although there were holes inside, they did not contain anything. They wanted to ask the customers who had purchased these puppets, but they could not find the corresponding ones from Takeda Shinichi's study. customer list.

In the end, the police held a temporary meeting in the courtyard to discuss whether Takeda Shinichi was selling drugs.

Jiang Xia didn't listen anymore and left An Xin.

The drugs and the client list disappeared at the same time, indicating that people from the organization had come here to deal with the aftermath. Gin should have come with him, after all, he did say "I'll be there later" before.

Moreover, Jiang Xia recalled that when she was still staying at the Takeda family and not looking at the stars, there were no traces of the men in black around her - otherwise, when the ghosts were jumping up and down to catch Miss Spider, they would have been able to see... that is Said that the aftermath was carried out after he left the Takeda family.

It was getting late at that time, and now, it was just the first day of his business trip with Gin and Vodka, and the time was not so tight that Gin had to rush two tasks overnight.

After all, according to the ghosts who visited Gin's box last night, Gin might have been too busy, or he might have been waiting to see how Boss Yun was dead, but he didn't close his eyes all night.

And there is no ghost mint to drink gin, so you can only replenish your energy by sleeping. So he probably won't go to the island tonight, but will find a place to rest.

Jiang Xia feels OK.

As long as we wait at the dock on time tomorrow, we should be able to rejoin our two teammates in black.

…

After Hattori Heiji's reasoning was over and he picked up the ghost on Rob's leg, Jiang Xia got into the police car and went down the mountain overnight.

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha didn't stay long either.

Although Hattori Heiji was quite concerned about the disappearing drugs, he could only hand the matter over to the police for investigation first - because midnight had passed, it was Sunday, and he had to go to school tomorrow. Besides, I haven’t even finished my homework for this weekend yet…

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji looked at Jiangxia who was sitting next to him and glanced at his phone from time to time: "Why don't you have to go to class?"

Still no cell signal.

Jiang Xia turned on the screen and sighed uninterestedly: "Wait until you don't get a perfect score before taking the test - otherwise it will feel like a waste of time."

Hattori Heiji:"……?"

... He felt like he was being deceived by someone, but he had no proof.

…

When they arrived in the city, the three of them got out of the car and waved their hands to separate.

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuba took a taxi to the station and prepared to return to Osaka.

Jiang Xia thought for a while and took a taxi to a dock.

Then I found the nearest hotel to stay at.

——On the way down the mountain just now, his mobile phone finally connected to the signal and received an email from Gin.

Perhaps considering that Jiang Xia might be hanging out with the police, this email has no text content, only a ","

According to the itinerary confirmed before departure, this means that everything proceeds as usual - as usual means that on the day after Takeda Shinichi is obliterated, go to the scheduled dock and take the boat prepared by the organization in advance to go to Moon Shadow Island.

So after Jiang Xia came to the Pier Hotel, she specially chose a room on the third floor, the highest floor.

This can barely be regarded as a sea view room. From the window, you can see the port. The ghosts can take turns to stand guard to observe when the gin and vodka will arrive, so as to prevent missing the travel time.

After returning to the room and locking the door, Jiang Xia first found the anti-surveillance equipment and fiddled with it.

After confirming that there was no problem, he took off Miss Spider who was still sitting on his shoulder.

It might be difficult for a normal ghost to maintain such an upright sitting position on his shoulders, and it would be easy for him to fall down whenever he stopped walking.

But this ghost has her own unique skill - when she can't sit still, she secretly sticks out her spider legs from behind, hooks Jiang Xia's clothes to adjust her body shape, and keeps her human body still.

The ghost cried all the way just now, but now, maybe the vast sea has some healing effect on ghosts. Miss Spider looked at the vast sea outside, wiped her face, and stopped crying.

Jiang Xia nodded secretly. It happened that there was no one here. While she was calm, she signed the ghost first...

Go to the window and close the window tightly.

Then Jiang Xia put the nervous Miss Spider on the bed, skillfully opened her collar, pricked the mark on her heart, and dripped the blood drops on Spider Ghost's body.

A series of deep-fried sounds sounded, and the blood gathered and dispersed like boiling water, swimming crazily along the ghost's body.

Other ghosts neatly poked their heads out from the edge of the bed, watching curiously.

At first, Miss Spider secretly clutched her sleeves, which was quite tight. Later, she realized that the process didn't seem to be as painful as she thought, so she relaxed again and stared at the blood droplets with slight curiosity as they flew around.

But soon, her eyes could no longer follow the drops of blood.

It's not that the blood moves too fast.

Instead, it finally stopped on Miss Spider's forehead, gradually forming a "z" pattern.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He had thought before that since Miss Spider could retract her eight claws, if she was used as a puppet, he might be able to make a normal humanoid vest.

Although he is a little far from the adult male ghost that Jiang Xia expects, he is at least a normal person. When it is inconvenient to use Miyano Akemi, he no longer has to drive around with pregnant women or pregnant husbands whose parents are ghosts.

Unexpectedly, now, the tattoos are condensed on the forehead.

The location of the tattoos on the ghost body cannot be selected, they are all random.

It's just that Jiang Xia now discovered that Xiaobai, Miyano Akemi and Miss Spider, who have normal human shapes, or may have normal human shapes, have tattoos on their necks, one under their eyes, and one on their foreheads, all of which are quite conspicuous.

On the contrary, for this group of monsters that are usually inconvenient to drive out, each one is harder to find than the other - the foggy dog's is hidden between the roots of the two wings, the inseparable parent ghosts are at the connection, the mermaid's is on the lower back... the mermaid's The tattoo can usually be seen, but this is not because of the obvious location, but because the vest and clothes she transformed into it are small.

...In short, in a sense, this tattoo is quite intelligent and can accurately add obstructions.

Fortunately, the location of the small white mark can be covered with a scarf, and Miyano Akemi can use sunglasses. As for Miss Spider, the bamboo hat that comes with it may be useful, but she just has to lower her head more often...

Jiang Xia was in a complicated mood for a moment, sighed, stopped thinking about it, and quickly moved his attention to another place.

——When the ghost fetus and the spiritual medium sign a contract, there is a chance that a certain skill will be awakened due to the status of each other.

For example, Xiaobai's forced confession, Miyano Akemi's one-second invincibility, the fire protection of the ghost parents, the underwater breathing of the mermaid, and the one-click suicide of Kiritengu... No, death reappears.

From this point of view, Jiang Xia feels that he is quite talented, or that the ghosts in this world are very talented - not to mention the content of the skills, at least all the ghosts he signed have successfully awakened their skills.

The new Miss Spider is no exception.

Although her skills are also quite strange.

Jiang Xia remembered the legend that Takeda Yoko introduced to them when they were at the Spider Mansion, and felt that this skill should probably be named "Paradise Question"...

The person who activates it can ask three questions to a specific target

——"Do you think there is heaven in this world?"

——"What kind of place is that?"

——"Do you want to go and see it with me?"

If all three questions are asked and the target nods to the last question, then, whether it is sincere or perfunctory, that person will get lost in a place where no one can find him in the next 1 to 72 hours. The specific time is random.

If the target refuses to leave together at the end of the question, then from the time of his refusal, within 1-72 minutes, the person who activates the skill will have eight freely controllable spider legs growing from his back.

In addition, there is a third situation.

——If the target of the question remains silent, or cannot wait for the third question and leaves in mid-stream, then in the next 1 to 72 minutes, the person who activated the skill will fall into some extreme unhappiness. Be confident, and will try to hang yourself from the rafters, wander to the side of a mountain and jump off a cliff...or actively engage in other dangerous restart behaviors.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He was silent about this skill for a full minute. He always felt that it was similar to Wutian Dog's skill that "can restore the death method he has seen before on the initiator."

——It is very convenient to commit suicide.

...After all, under normal circumstances, most people probably don't have time to listen to a person asking these three questions incessantly and answer them one by one... In other words, after using this skill, 80% of them will jump directly to the third level. situation.

However, this skill is at least more practical than the foggy dog.

Because speaking in detail, this world is actually a little different from the world Jiang Xia is used to.

——The concentration of middle two here is higher. The more powerful a person is, the more talkative they seem to be in certain situations.

As for the less powerful people... if you put a knife on their necks, they should be able to get a chance to talk peacefully. By then, they will not only be able to ask three questions, but even have the opportunity to guide the answers.

Therefore, it may not be as difficult as imagined to achieve the first lost ending.

In addition, Jiang Xia is not alone - he has many puppets.

It would be nice to use a puppet to ask questions and achieve the first or second situation. If unfortunately you encounter the third type, the one who suffers the negative state will also be a puppet.

If the vests want to commit suicide, then let them go. Anyway, this is not the first time that the vests have died...

The only thing you need to worry about is whether the dangerous state will continue until the negative effects are over after the vest disappears by suicide and the consciousness returns to the original body.

However, judging from the feedback when signing the contract, this negative state is not an instant death skill like the foggy dog, but a process of continuous change of mentality.

In other words, if the will is strong enough and can resist the suicidal mentality, then not to mention the body, even the vest will not die.

...the more I think about it, the more excited I become.

After all, after getting a strange new skill, how many people can resist trying it...

Jiang Xia had even tried Kiritengu's suicide skill with a vest before, and even managed to scare someone with a lot of shikigami on him into jumping off a cliff.

Miss Spider's skills will only become more powerful if used properly.

After all, excluding the third case, at least the first result is very useful. It can make someone disappear for a specific period of time. It is really a good supplement for psychics who are inconvenient to kill people.

Moreover, the medium's ability to control thoughts and emotions is inherently strong. Looking at the bright side, the negative effects may not have much impact on him at all.

But we can’t seek death rashly…

Jiang Xia struggled for a long time, and finally decided to wait until he was free in the future to find a place that lacked a suicide environment, first put the body there and fix it, and even find a reliable person to help watch; then drive the puppet to provoke an unknown person. The grumpy old man who will answer questions seriously will try the specific negative effects of the third situation.

Although it is difficult to trap a psychic who can manipulate puppet clay, regardless of people or equipment, Jiang Xia feels that the negative status caused by this skill should not make him work hard enough to use those things to kill himself. And if he was really affected to that extent...then he wouldn't commit suicide.

Jiang Xia silently pressed her temple and moved her hand away.

After having a simple plan, bold ideas, and a series of operation plans for the newly added skills, Jiang Xia temporarily put aside this painful and happy problem and began to gather puppet clay in the room.

He wanted to try a new vest.

In an instant, many more shikigami than when he first came to this world flew out from under his feet and gradually piled up into a white clay-like colloid in the center of the room.

Then, Jiang Xia poked Miss Spider again, letting her melt in.

Soon, a figure wearing a white kimono and a white gauze hat gradually took shape in the room.

Jiang Xia moved his consciousness into the puppet and thoughtfully pressed the hat on his head.

In the past, when making puppets, the clothes would be generated according to the habits and aesthetics of the ghosts. After that, Jiang Xia could make some simple adjustments based on the quantity and quality of the puppet clay.

However, Miss Spider seems to be deeply influenced by the legend, and she is also very persistent in her appearance. Jiang Xia can't change it.

...Fortunately these days, there are actually many people wearing kimonos on the streets. Although I have never seen someone wearing a hat, he looks like a normal person - this can just cover the tattoos on his head, as long as he pays more attention to lowering his head.

After briefly observing the puppet's appearance, Jiang Xia moved the main body to the bed and turned off the lights.

Then he drove the puppet, walked to the window, and silently pushed the window open a crack.

There are not many people staying here, and it is already past midnight. Except for the lobby, the lights in the entire building have been turned off.

When a person is among the puppets, the ghost fetus is also among the puppets, and they can enjoy the benefits of night vision without having to borrow the ghost's eyesight.

Jiang Xia glanced around and saw no one or equipment.

So he stood by the window, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully felt the current condition of his body.

After a moment, there was a slight sound of clothes tearing from his back.
