The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Chapter 590 Tang Ze: Ah, yes, that’s what I thought!

Entering House No. 22, the moment Karasawa turned around and walked towards the reception room, the two detectives' movements were almost identical.

In unison, the two people stood at the nearest corner and poked their heads towards the corridor in the opposite direction of the reception room.

Two heads, one raised and one lowered, directly faced Hoshikawa Hui, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, standing in the shadows.

"Uh..." The two detectives were embarrassed for a moment, quickly retracted their heads, and turned back as if nothing happened.

I saw joker, who was leading the way, turn around and look at the two of them subtly with a half-smiling expression.

"Are you curious about my place?" Tang Ze tilted his head, pushed open the door of the reception room, and made an invitation gesture, "Sorry, it is not open to the public."

"It's natural to be curious, right?" After being briefly embarrassed for two seconds, Conan realized that he was actually quite embarrassed in front of the joker. He cleared his throat and straightened his waist again, "I've been coming to your place several times. Times, apart from your living room, I have only entered the war room and computer room once..."

"It's good to show you the secret place twice. What, are you ready to completely give up your social identity and join the Phantom Thieves?" Karasawa lowered his eyebrows and made a funny and joking expression, "Then I don't Objection.”

"In order to join your Phantom Thieves, do you have to give up your social identity?" Hattori Heiji grasped the key point of his words.

"That's a matter of course. If our core secret is disclosed to the public casually, it will bring irreparable consequences." Tang Ze spread his palms upward and slowly made a flipping motion, "You, Isn’t that why you came here?”

"You know, we're here to ask you about this."

"Of course, you can't come to me just to catch up on old times, right? It's not like we haven't seen each other for a day."

When Hoshikawa Teru, who was standing in the corridor, followed him, Tangze closed the door and sat down on the sofa on the other side.

Separated by a coffee table, two detectives and two phantom thieves sat opposite each other with clear barriers.

Hattori Heiji first tried hard to straighten his back and make the conversation more formal. After trying twice and failing, Conan, who was unable to sit still, fell on top of him and finally gave up: "You guys, what? Sofa..."

"The bean bag sofa is quite comfortable, isn't it? We usually use it here by ourselves, and it's not used to entertain guests." Tangze, who was lazily leaning on a large sofa, waved his hand casually, "Relax. At one point, it looks like we are here for negotiation. If you have any questions, just ask them directly."

Xingchuan Hui, who had long been accustomed to his boss's hobby of home decoration, sat motionless on a medium-sized sofa block, watching the two detectives opposite him who struggled with the soft bean bags for a while, and finally adjusted their sitting postures. He shook his head.

Although Karasawa said that the main reason he liked this kind of sofa was that it was comfortable to use, Hoshikawa Teru believed that even the living room was filled with such sofas, which only fully demonstrated that Karasawa had a strong desire to tease people.

After bringing Shimabukuro Kime back yesterday, the shrine maiden who had received orthodox etiquette education adhered to the idea that even if she had joined the other party, she should pay attention to her manners when she first came to the door. She tried hard to maintain dignity and seriousness, but she was also disturbed. Bean bags of all sizes were destroyed within ten seconds.

When it comes to his ability to trick people, he has always admired Tang Ze.

"The situation on the American island..." After organizing his words for a while, Hattori Heiji asked, "Is it really a natural phenomenon?"

For other tourists who did not follow Shimabukuro Kimie and several victims, the experience of the past few days may have been just a thrilling and unnecessary disaster. However, for him who paid close attention to everything and understood the overall situation, everything was It's all too much of a coincidence.

Hisumi Ebihara, as to whether she was killed by Shimabukuro Kimie or played herself to death, with Shimabukuro Kimie jumping into the sea, I am afraid that there is no accurate conclusion, but considering everything she witnessed later, Hattori Heiji is more inclined to believe that this is also one of Shimabukuro Kimie's plans.

As soon as they discovered the fact that she was dead, it started to rain on the island, and the first wave of earthquakes was felt.

Immediately afterwards, Naoko Kuroe was lured into the mountains by Shimabukuro Kime and walked into the spider web without knowing it.

Nowadays, it is quite certain that the person buried in the mermaid's tomb is actually Shimabukuro Kime's mother, so a death method with such a sense of ritual and execution is simply a direct indication of the murderer - —If Hattori Heiji hadn’t insisted on going to the cliff to inspect the scene, her death would have become an unsolvable mystery like Hisumi Ebihara.

Similarly, just when she was actually hanging in front of the grave, the flash flood broke through the woods and triggered a violent landslide, affecting them who were chasing Naoko Kuroe.

Such extremely bad weather was not warned by any weather forecast, and the so-called volcanic activity on the seabed was not observed in advance. However, because of Shimabukuro Kimie's change of mentality and her final leap without regret, Stopped abruptly.

When he set foot on the American island, he naturally scorned the so-called mermaid legend, but Shimabukuro Kimie vividly recreated a fable-like legend before his eyes...

Until this moment, he finally understood the way Karasawa and Kudo kept it secretive when they mentioned Cognition Hexue, as if they didn't know how to accurately convey its meaning.

This is really a powerful force that can move mountains and seas, and it will make people involuntarily question whether this is really materialism.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Kudo, the counter-growth being, had demonstrated to him what it meant to use science to violate the laws of nature, he would have thought that he was actually in some strange magical world.

Hattori Heiji, who didn't know that he knew the truth in a certain sense, stared at the expression on Joker's face and refused to let go of it.

"Are you referring to the heavy rain, sudden changes in ocean currents, and the eventual possibility that the island will sink into the sea?" Tangze was not surprised by his question, but turned to look at the man sitting next to him. Conan, "Mini Detective, can you understand now, what is meant by 'the end point of cognitive learning is the power of making your wishes come true'."

Sometimes he is a big detective, sometimes he is a little detective, and this time he becomes a mini detective.

Joker, you narrow-minded guy, if you don’t call Detective Hattori Kuro, then you are targeting me.

Conan stared blankly for a while, then turned his attention back to joker's question: "So, do you mean that this is also the effect of cognitive learning? That's too exaggerated..."

If the power of cognition can control nature and celestial phenomena to this extent, then no matter what name this power has, it is actually a kind of terrifying magic.

Shimabukuro Kimie's mental state alone can destroy an island, so she...

"You are right in understanding this. Have you ever heard of the theory of collective subconscious?" Karasawa nodded, calmly throwing out the concept that he had just discussed for less than five minutes, "Shimabukuro June, she is the one People, in a practical sense, are the lifeblood of the entire American island. Her shrine and the image of the goddess she plays support the island's beliefs and bring business opportunities and vitality to the island... By everyone on the island By default, she is the symbol and core, and she has indeed become a god there.”

Thinking of Shimabukuro Kime, who had a very religious image as a Phantom Thief even if he relied on his own willpower to awaken and resist, Karasawa felt that there was something wrong with his statement.

In the week since he discovered the truth about his mother's death, Shimabukuro Kimie is the god of that island, and it is the same as the pseudo-god in P5.

"It is indeed easy for a god to destroy the domain he controls." Tang Ze concluded.

Although many questions and speculations had arisen in their minds, after hearing this fact from the joker's mouth, the two detectives could not help but widen their eyes with shock on their faces.

No matter how many theoretical explanations there are, from the practical effect, this cognitive theory is too outrageous!

Is this really something that humans can do? What on earth are Karasawa's parents researching? Are they destroying the solar system?

"Don't worry, don't look like the sky is falling. To achieve such an effect, the conditions are very harsh." Before the two people began to discuss the issue of world destruction with heavy faces, Tangze waved his hand, " This is why the organization focused on trying to study the state of the island."

"They want to be like her..." At this moment, Conan finally fully realized the ambition of the organization. The expression on his face changed several times, and finally settled on uncontrollable worry.

Although Joker has just briefly explained to them the special characteristics of Shimabukuro Kimie, including that her work supports the entire island, and that their family's shrine has existed on the island for decades, but as long as they think of It turns out that there are really human beings who can achieve this level of power comparable to gods by relying on the knowledge of others. At that moment, the chill in the back is unavoidable.

"So, that's why they want to make and promote 'Cocoon'!" After thinking about it for a moment, Conan suddenly raised his head, and Tang Ze almost saw a line of white light suddenly flashing behind him, "That's it. This is the reason why you insisted on facing the organization head-on and taking away Noah's Ark!"

His IQ is not low at all, and he quickly came to a similar conclusion like the Phantom Thieves.

Yes, if the instrument Cocoon is really just as Noah said, it can subtly implant some subconscious concepts that will not arouse people's alertness, then Joker will take the risk of taking the members deep into the game, and he will not hesitate to expose more of the Phantom Thieves in public. The information is contrary to their usual behavior.

Although they are not well hidden in front of themselves, from the public perspective, if it were not for that holographic game, the public would only know the Phantom Thieves as joker.

To rashly expose so much information is actually inconsistent with the joker's goal of confronting the organization.

The organization itself is a mysterious group that is mostly hidden underwater, with only the tip of the iceberg exposed. I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark, so everything is too passive.

Therefore, this slightly aggressive action was actually because this matter was more critical than most people thought. They rushed in regardless of their intention to seize the nuclear bomb launch button.

Right, all right!

Tangze, who watched Conan's expression change from sudden realization, to serious contemplation, to deep understanding: "..."

What else did you add to my brain without permission? Do you believe me when I say that before the game started, I was actually the only serious Phantom Thief of Heart?

As for why he had to face the organization head-on...then he, the boss, was already trapped. Others came to Calabash to save grandpa, but he couldn't do anything about it, right?

After being speechless for a moment, Tang Ze took a breath and nodded heavily in spite of Conan's inexplicable admiration. "Well, as long as you understand."

Hey, what should we do? We can't explain it to the detective. We didn't think much about it at the time. It was really A...

If someone gives you a cut, you can't pick it off yourself. The Phantom Thief also wants to be embarrassed, okay?

"So, you mean, after reaching certain conditions, an ordinary human being can have the power to directly control the world? For example, create a world-destroying flood, or something like that?" During the communication with Conan In the novel, Hattori Heiji, who had some knowledge of the situation of Noah's Ark, thought of the opening remarks of Noah's Ark from Conan's words.

The future of mankind is about to be dark, and he wants to go to a new era with hope, which is indeed in line with the image of Noah's Ark...

"You can't just destroy everything. Don't forget, before discovering how exploited and squeezed his family has been for a long time, Shimabukuro Kimie has been working hard to protect the island.

"Her mother, herself, and her grandmother, from birth to death, almost devoted their lives to these people who worshiped them. Even their own deaths will become the nutrients of the island. Becoming this 'artificial Gods' really control the lifeblood, rise and fall of the entire world."

Explaining the new understanding generated by Shimabukuro Kimie, Karasawa used his own understanding to define the current direction of the organization.

"The leader of this organization wants to be this god, an immortal god who can truly swallow mermaid flesh. And all we can do is do our best to stop them."

"...This is your reason for cutting off the cycle of evil." Following this logic, Conan's expression became more and more touched, "You must try your best to prevent the further spread of evil and be completely opposite to that organization. concept to restore the public’s thinking.”

In fact, he just wants to use his power as he pleases, investigate the specific situation of the organization, and continue to explore the subway at the same time: "..."

What kind of list of gods in the new era, the prehistoric theory is here, right? Channel switching. Hello.

Look at what you said, I'm almost embarrassed when you brag about your talent.

Karasawa, who was very mentally active, had a calm expression on his face, as if Conan's comments were his true thoughts.

"You always seem to be curious about who I am, why I do this, how I do it, and you seem to want to understand what exactly I am facing." Looking directly into Conan's eyes, he slowly He smiled and said, "How does it feel now that I can get a glimpse of the world I see in my eyes?"

————

"Leader's ability to talk nonsense is becoming more and more solid."

In the control room upstairs, the curtains were tightly drawn, and the three people watching the live broadcast in darkness listened to the discussion about the world view between the detective and the phantom thief downstairs. Asai Narumi finally couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke to break the silence.

Since the Phantom Thieves' current stronghold has undergone a whole-house smart renovation to facilitate Noah's activities, there are more hidden cameras in their villa than in the Zero Group meeting room, so it is not difficult at all to see the whole process clearly from the air, and there are even Noah, an excellent director, provides professional scheduling and a first-class viewing experience.

"Eh?" Shimabukuro Kimie, who was sitting upright and listening with a serious face, was stunned for a moment, "Do you think he is talking nonsense?"

However, it sounds really reasonable. Even Xingchuan-kun lowered his head, his bangs completely covering his eyes, and he looked like he was feeling heavy and unwilling to say anything...

"Hoshikawa is probably suppressing laughter." Seeing Shimabukuro Kimie's thoughts from her eyes, Miyano Akemi said clearly, "His acting skills are still far behind Karasawa, and he can't control his emotions just by trying to control them. "

"Of course it's nonsense. If we can understand all the purpose and actions of that organization, why are we still the Phantom Thieves? Can't we just go and blow them up with a rocket launcher?" Asai Narumi shook his head, "We have been It’s just taking action while trying to combine theory with exploring the truth.”

"Well, your appearance has provided us with great help, Miss Junhui. So, there is really no need to be too formal. The help is mutual. Relax a little, and you will find that this kind of life is not bad." Looking at this Miyano Akemi couldn't help but comfort the new member who was actually older than her.

Shimabukuro Kimie turned her head, continued to observe the joker's status on the monitor, and nodded slowly.

Perhaps it's because of the other party's undeniable strong style in communication. Now, when I observe him with a completely onlooker's mentality, I realize that he is actually a very young child.

"His life is not easy, right?" Shimabukuro Kimie said, "It is always necessary to hide emotions and so on. It should not be a habit of people of this age."

"To say it's not easy, that's true. But..." Looking at the smile on Karasawa's lips, Asai Shimi flicked his tongue and shook his head, "I can only say that some people may be born with it. Be good at this kind of thing and enjoy it.”

Especially when this person actually has a firm goal and never deviates from the direction...

It's so strange, why does he always feel an indescribable, similar temperament from this young man who is much younger than him?

Urgent call, please let 6 brave people join the book club and lead cowards to fight against Fatal Company, okay QAQ
