The Split-Actress in Conan's World

As Koshimizu Nanatsuki moved the dial of the wall clock in a regular pattern, the clock made a "click" and detached from the wall. The fancy decorations on it also fell off, revealing the golden color behind it.

It is not just coated with a layer of gold foil, but is made entirely of pure gold!

As the wall clock fell off, the entire Dusk Villa shook slightly. The ceiling, walls, and all places covered with wallpaper and paint made crisp explosions, and then cracked, revealing the shining gold behind them.

Not only the wall clock, almost the entire mansion is made of gold!!!

Every brick and tile used to build this building is made of pure gold!!

"It's really spectacular." Glenfiddich finished the things at hand, pushed the door open and walked in, looked up and around, a little surprised.

“That’s worth a lot, isn’t it?”

"This kind of spectacle cannot be measured by money." Professor Lecter was not shocked by the scene before him and shook his head calmly.

"If I remember correctly, the total amount of gold in the world doesn't seem to be that much, right?" Glenfiddich asked curiously.

"alchemy."

Professor Lecter did not keep the question in suspense and gave the answer very directly.

“And it’s human alchemy.”

He narrowed his eyes.

Forty years ago, two mysterious uninvited guests visited the auction at that time.

When they left the next day, there were only a dozen seriously injured people left in the entire mansion. They were still unconscious and spoke in a state of dementia when talking about what happened that day.

The museum, which should have been filled with blood, was now only covered with a thin layer of sticky blood, and all the collections that were to be auctioned had disappeared.

"Apparently, your boss had come into contact with the power of black magic half a century ago, and even planned a fake death for a certain purpose, attracting a large number of 'sacrifices' to gather here."

Professor Lecter said calmly: "You haven't forgotten the death of the Miyano couple twenty years ago, right?"

"How could I forget?"

Glenfiddich lit a cigarette, his eyes a little dazed.

"In their original destiny, they were supposed to leave Baijiu Pharmaceuticals first, then join the organization's experimental center, and be assassinated by Vermouth."

"Instead of being like this now, not only did he not leave Baijiu Pharmaceutical, he also did not enter the research institute. He just opened a small clinic outside and finally died in a sudden sniper attack."

He subconsciously touched his abdomen, as if he could feel the hideous scar underneath his windbreaker.

"I can accept Vermouth doing this. After all, as the original experiment subject of 'Silver Bullet', she has the qualifications and reasons to do so. Although I don't think her feelings towards Elena are hatred..."

“But what right do those people have?”

"Why do they dare to kill the people I care about?"

Glenfiddich exhaled light smoke, the burning white smoke seemed to be able to burn people.

"I actually have some doubts. Those people seemed to be coming for me..."

"It's the same group of people." Professor Lecter said affirmatively.

“They were the same people forty years ago, and twenty years ago.”

"I don't really understand your magical side of things... Are they those pure-blood wizards?"

Professor Lecter shook his head.

"If they had made any move, it would have been impossible to avoid Ariana."

"I guess it's the old church."

He paused, "The reason why the witch hunt ended so quickly was probably because they realized the indispensability of magicians."

"They coveted magic."

"But haven't you been keeping an eye on them?" Gryffindy looked at him puzzledly.

"During the hundred years I was in Britain, they really didn't do much." Professor Lecter also realized that he had made a mistake and sighed slightly, "I did overlook one thing."

"Because Ariana was sleeping in the Sea of ​​Japan, I subconsciously ignored this small island."

"My subconscious trust made me forget that she was just sleeping here. I have to say this is really an irony to my proud wisdom."

"It was because I realized this mistake not long ago that I immediately stopped my journey in the United States and came to Japan."

"No wonder everyone comes here..." Grunfiddie thought for a moment and nodded, not quite understanding.

"So as a witch-hunting old church, why did they target the Miyano family?"

Professor Lecter pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said calmly, "Then let's reason it out."

"The premise is that forty years ago, the old church and Karasuma Renya had some kind of cooperation."

"What is known is that the Miyano couple were children at the time, and the 'Silver Bullet' had not yet been born."

"Although the Red Witch Koizumi family still existed at the time, they adopted a policy of seclusion and had no intention of contacting the outside world."

"And the final result is that Karasuma Renya survived to this day and achieved 'immortality'."

He looked at Grunfiddi with a playful look: "So what do you think the cooperation between the Old Church and Karasuma Renye is?"

"They helped him achieve immortality?"

"This is a relatively high possibility." The professor nodded.

"Then the question is, why did they attack the Miyano couple 20 years later? Why did they attack the couple who developed the 'Silver Bullet'?"

Grenfiddich pinched his brows, hesitated for a while, and then gave up thinking.

"You should come. I get a headache when I use my brain."

It's not that he can't figure it out, but since there is someone here with a better brain, why should he bother thinking about it?

If he had this free time, he might as well think about how to trick Gin into becoming his tool for the mission.

"Probably because they don't allow any other 'methods of immortality' to exist besides theirs."

Professor Lecter didn't beat around the bush. He just had an occupational disease and was used to leading others to think more.

"And if we think about it a little more, they may not be able to pose enough constraints on Karasuma Renye, otherwise they would not choose such a low-level method as direct assassination."

"If only the characteristics of destiny were not given to that little guy, but to me." Glenfiddich said with some regret.

He had a good impression of the Miyano couple.

Professor Lecter was unusually depressed.

"Maybe I should have advised Ariana more. At least if she were still here, those guys would never dare to do anything stupid."

"Forget it, we all know how difficult it is to suppress that kind of divinity. She should have rested long ago." Grunfiddie pressed the cigarette butt against the wall to put it out, leaving a black mark on the golden wall tiles.

"So the next task is my task." Professor Lecter said ambiguously.

"Okay, I'm going to build a barrier here in a while. You take them out first. My people are here." He snapped his fingers, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who had just been hypnotized and completely ignored their conversation, woke up as if from a dream.

"...I don't want to. Tell your people to come in and move it themselves." Gryffindy dragged the little girl out.

After a while, Adam came in with a curious look.

Professor Lecter was silent for a while.

Then she smiled at him kindly.

"Thank you so much, Adam."

"Get them all onto the helicopter."

"..."

Adam started to work with a blank expression.

Very good, I finally chose the calmest way to write the Dusk Villa chapter that I had been conceiving for a long time.

You should know that the original plan was to have a length of about twelve chapters.

It's probably about moving Noah's new "cocoon" over, replacing the beds in each room with coffins, and letting everyone unknowingly enter the new world simulated by the "Garden of Eden" for this battle royale.

A pure battle of wits and a refreshing killing.

But unfortunately, I wrote more than 8000 words back and forth, and finally gave up and deleted them all.

Because the logical flaws are too great.

How badly do the characters have to break down before they actually kill each other? ! !

Why is the logic flaw so big!!!

Why is it that a battle royale is so hard to write when an unscientific system like magic can be so logically consistent so easily?

The love-hate relationship and IQ battle between Conan Hakuba and Kid is so exciting, isn't it? ! ! !

Ugh......

In short, it's very painful.

It sounds very exciting when written, but looking back, there are indeed huge problems. Not only did it destroy the character setting, but it also ruined the subsequent design.

After all, the battle royale will inevitably lead Conan to realize the existence of Noah, thus unveiling the mysterious veil of the Garden of Eden ahead of time.

Then there is a very important plot later on that can’t be shown.

So they had to give up the battle royale and try to create an atmosphere when the dummy was telling the story, so that the story and reality could match each other, give Grunfiddie and the professor an appearance like the two mysterious men in the story, and then let them intrude into the Twilight Annex arc.

But then I thought, using those two big marijuana dealers to symbolize our Grenfiddich and the Professor seems a bit degrading...

And it would be too hellish for Conan to see Gryffindor and the Professor together, right?

In the end, he had no choice but to go with the plot and choose the most mediocre appearance and ending to serve as a supplement to the setting.

However, in order to at least not make it look too boring, some of the magic content and the main plot of the book (which is actually optional) were revealed in advance.

I have finally got the Dusk Villa. Getting the wool from the Boss always gives me a subtle thrill, and it is a perfect example of how I feel about Old Di.

So far, our third party, "Garden of Eden", which is independent of the red and black parties, has been officially formed.

Of course, the smart kids will ask, "Hasn't the Garden of Eden been established long ago? I remember it was in Chapter 58?"

At that time, the interview staff were in place, and now we have some assets, and the most important thing is that Glenfiddich and Professor Lecter have reached a consensus and recognized each other as relatives.

Our "mature adults" group also scored high.

...Why does it feel like this third party is completely sucking the blood of both the red and black parties (murmuring softly).

I won’t say much else. The reason why there are more “messages” like this recently is mainly because I was too lonely during that period of time, and I always have some feelings that I want to share with everyone.

Why do I feel like I understand Lao Di a little bit...

Just a little tip: we have to speed up the next plot!

I wish you all a happy life!!
