Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

"So what happened before? I have seen that armor before, so that person, that hero, must be you, right?"

Sitting at the dining table, after making sure that there was no one around who could eavesdrop, Mao Lilan asked cautiously.

"Yes, it was me! How did you know? Were you taken in as well?"

Matsumoto Akira was eating noodles. When he heard what Maori Ran suddenly said, he immediately swallowed the noodles in his mouth, looked at Maori Ran, nodded and answered.

"I was indeed taken there. That perspective was really unique. After seeing the sudden action that destroyed the entire Tokyo in an instant, I suddenly realized that I was still sleeping somewhere in Tokyo~"

Mao Lilan rubbed her forehead, while Tom and Jerry were quietly eating their bowls of noodles.

For both of them, eating with chopsticks is not a problem at all. Never underestimate their learning ability.

"So what's going on? I don't remember in my worldview that such a villain would suddenly appear in this world!"

"Nothing~"

Matsumoto Akira smiled easily and took out a complete talisman from his arms. The two tigers carved on the talisman seemed to be separated in the middle, but at this moment they were perfectly integrated together.

"It's just a little thing, but don't let it separate, because it will separate your yin and yang!"

"Your yin and yang are not necessarily good or evil, but the other you will obviously be more decisive than the current you, and your bottom line will be lower!"

After Matsumoto Akira said this, Mao Lilan also stopped extending her hand. She looked up at Matsumoto Akira's face with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"No wonder I always feel a sense of familiarity. So the other person is you? But you can do this to just split your personality?"

When Xiaolan said this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Matsumoto Ming as if she had discovered some new treasure, "That means you should actually have this ability yourself, it's unbelievable that such a supernatural thing can happen!"

Xiaolan became excited, which surprised Matsumoto Ming. He tilted his head and looked at Xiaolan with strange eyes. "I remember Xiaolan, aren't you most afraid of these strange things?"

"That's different. I'm afraid of ghosts that appear in the dark world, but I'm not afraid of things like this kind of magical ability!"

After Xiaolan said this, she paused for a while, and then, as if to confirm her own statement, she added, "And since this kind of supernatural power exists, then even if ghosts really exist, there must be a way to deal with them!"

"If it's a ghost that can be dealt with, then there's nothing to be afraid of!"

"I understand!"

Matsumoto Akira looked at Xiaolan and revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Actually, Xiaolan, you are not afraid of ghosts or anything like that. You are afraid of the unknown that you cannot resist!"

For Xiaolan, ghosts are not what she is really afraid of. What she is afraid of is that when a ghost appears in front of her, she will not be able to resist it by any known means.

Even if she knows nothing about ghosts, it doesn't matter to Xiaolan as long as the means of resistance are still effective.

"It seems to be true!" Xiaolan thought about it and nodded, "But it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Everyone has something they are afraid of, but if we can understand some of the principles behind it, such emotions will surely be reduced a lot!"

Matsumoto Akira fully agreed with Xiaolan's idea. If something is unknown and cannot be resisted, then it is natural for people to be afraid.

The most amazing thing is to overcome this fear, try to understand, fight back and master it!

"Oh, that's right!" Matsumoto Akira patted his head and looked at Tom and Jerry. Tom and Jerry looked at Matsumoto Akira with some confusion.

It wasn't until Matsumoto Akira blinked at them that Tom suddenly realized what was going on and pulled out a card and two rings from his cat fur.

There seemed to be an hourglass engraved on one of the rings, and as Tom moved, the entire hourglass seemed to be flowing constantly.

There is obviously no liquid in it, but it still flows like sand or water.

The other ring had a cat's head engraved on it, and it looked exactly like Tom.

Matsumoto knew that one of the rings was his original pendant, but it was transformed into the appearance of a ring, while the other one was made directly by drawing power from the dream card.

"Are you interested in meeting a real magical girl, Xiaolan? Although you have seen one before, you didn't know her identity at that time~"

Matsumoto Akira took the two rings swiftly and put them on his hands. The two rings were neither too big nor too small, as if they were tailor-made for him.

He held the Clow Card in his other hand and flipped it several times before turning to look at Mao Lilan and asking, "Magical girl? Could it be that Kinomoto Sakura and Daidoji Tomoyo?"

After hesitating for a moment, Mao Lilan looked at Matsumoto Akira and asked directly.

"You guessed it? How did you guess it?!"

Matsumoto Akira looked at Xiaolan curiously, and then added: "But the magical girl only refers to Sakura! Tomoyo is not!"

"So she's not one of those magical girls who's part of a team? But she's still a magical girl after all. Can we see her transformation?"

Xiaolan stared at Matsumoto Akira with eyes full of doubt and curiosity, like a hungry wolf staring at food, and her whole body was filled with desire for the answer.

"I've always been curious about when a magical girl transforms, is it very fast? Or does she just stop time?"

"Ah, I understand!" Matsumoto nodded clearly, ruthlessly interrupting Mao Lilan's guess.

"I'm sorry, Sakura can indeed summon her own magic circle, but that's because of her staff. Sakura doesn't transform!"

Seeing the puzzled look on Mao Lilan's face, Matsumoto Akira quickly added: "The magical girl clothes that Sakura wears during battle are all made by her good friend Tomoyo!"

Matsumoto Akira explained in detail that Sakura Kinomoto never transformed into a magical girl.

After the explanation, Mao Lilan sighed a little disappointedly: "I finally met a magical girl, but she is a magical girl who can't transform? But it doesn't matter, Sakura is also very cute!"

As she was speaking, Mao Lilan suddenly shook her head vigorously, as if she had given herself an injection of stimulant, and she became energetic again.

"So are you going to take the Clow Cards that Sakura needs now? Do you need me to come with you?"

"I'm just going to go there once, but it's fine if you want to come with me!" Matsumoto Akira agreed.

"Then I'll pack up and we'll set off quickly! Although we can't witness the wonderful scene of the magical girl's transformation, it's worth it to see a real magical girl wearing a magical girl costume!"

Mao Lilan stood up immediately, and the bowl of noodles in front of her remained untouched. It was obvious that she had no interest in eating at all.

"Then I'll trouble you two to clean it up. If it's really difficult, you can ask the two people next door for help!"

Matsumoto Akira finished the remaining noodles in his bowl in no time and gave Tom some instructions.

Tom nodded, without the slightest hesitation, and continued to work hard.

Not long after, Xiaolan, who was ready for everything, set off with Matsumoto Akira.

Matsumoto Akira had already greeted Sakura Kinomoto in advance, so Sakura did not stay at her own home, but went to the Daidoji Chise family.

In this way, Matsumoto Akira could take the Clow Cards and complete the mission directly. The reason why the location was not set at Sakura's house was mainly because Sakura herself was reluctant.

Maybe it was because he had his own brother and father at home? Matsumoto Akira didn't know, but he still followed Sakura's idea.

However, Tomoyo Daidoji does not live in an apartment or something like that, but instead lives in her own estate in Tokyo.

So, in fact, there is still some distance. After all, in the central area of ​​Tokyo, apart from apartments, there is really no extra space to build such a large manor.

This is no longer a question of money, but rather a question of lack of space.

Whether it is government land, public land, or other places, in order to ensure the normal operation of the city, it is impossible to free up such a large piece of land to build a manor.

At least it has to be a large apartment. After all, the manor covers a very large area, but except for the initial sale of the land, it cannot generate more income.

It doesn't even have the ability to provide a steady flow of people like a large apartment, thereby creating economic benefits for the surrounding area. After all, although the manor covers a large area, there are not many people living in it.

After a while, Matsumoto Akira drove Mori Ran to the Daidoji Chise family's manor. Since they had made an appointment in advance, the guards outside the manor gate let them pass after seeing Matsumoto Akira's car.

Matsumoto Akira drove his car into the manor and discovered that there were a large number of cameras in the manor.

Compared to those traditional manors that still maintain traditions and rely on security guards and various patrols to ensure their own safety.

This manor relies more on the combination of technology and tradition. Matsumoto Akira saw no less than twenty cameras just when he entered the gate.

This was only what he saw, not to mention those hidden in the dark. Even if the cameras were hidden well, he could still detect them as long as they were directed at him.

But it's impossible that all the cameras are pointing in the direction of Matsumoto Akira, so there must be more hidden cameras pointing in other directions.

Walking a little further in, you can see gardeners weeding and pruning. All the green plants in the manor need to be pruned every day to ensure that no unexpected situations occur.

A little further in, a guide vehicle appeared in front of them and led them to the parking place.

After the car stopped, the old man in a butler's uniform walked up to the two of them with some apology.

"I'm very sorry to bring you here. You two must be the guests that Miss is waiting for today! Please take the guided car and proceed!"

The old butler's attitude was as warm as the spring breeze, and he softly explained why he led them to park here.

Different from ordinary villas, this manor was built at great expense specifically for Tomoyo Daidoji, so the outer part is also passable for vehicles.

However, the inner part is only open to special vehicles, and these specially made vehicles never go out and only drive straight on the internal roads.

Although it is not spotless, it is at least enough for the eldest daughter of the family to walk around the manor without wearing shoes without any hindrance.

After all, the eldest daughter of our family has always been very graceful and would never go without shoes!

cough~

Matsumoto Akira and Mao Li Ran followed the old butler onto the guide car. At this time, Matsumoto Akira noticed that the cleaning staff had already begun to clean their car and the traces left along the way.

Obviously, the Daidoji Group has taken meticulous care to protect their only daughter, not only ensuring her safety but also ensuring her hygiene.

The speed of the guide car is really slow, and it seems to be designed specifically for people to enjoy the scenery.

Although this is not the most central area of ​​Tokyo, it can be considered one of the core areas.

The cost of building such a huge manor here is difficult to estimate.

More importantly, just having money is not enough to pass the audit; all kinds of relationships and connections also need to stand the test.

The old butler signaled the driver to slow down, then turned around and introduced the manor to the two of them in detail.

After great difficulty, the guide vehicle finally arrived at the destination. If it weren't for the inconvenience of walking, Matsumoto would have taken Xiaolan out of the vehicle and walked earlier.

After all, Matsumoto Akira felt that the speed of this thing was not even as fast as when he ran himself. Of course, this was not the speed he ran at full speed, but the speed he ran normally in the past.

Fortunately, they were finally arriving. Before arriving, Matsumoto Akira had already seen Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidoji standing at the door of the building, waiting for them.

"You're finally here, Brother Matsumoto! I've prepared a lot of snacks to entertain you! Didn't Tom and Jerry come with you?"

Tomoyo Daidoji naturally knew Tom and Jerry. She thought that Tom and Jerry were pets that Matsumoto Akira always kept with him. After all, they were with him at the banquet, so she specially prepared pet meals.

Didn't expect that he didn't come with you? Daidoji Tomoyo was a little disappointed.

"Tom and Jerry have things to do at home! They probably can't come today. Chise, did you prepare some food for the pets?"

Matsumoto Akira jumped out of the car and walked towards Tomoyo Daidoji, but after seeing Tomoyo Daidoji's expression change, he hurriedly added another sentence.

"They won't eat any pet food. They always eat with me. It would be a waste if I prepared special pet food for them!"
