Conan’s World Stand-in - v3 Chapter 10
Takashi Ichiji is a stand-in, and since Conan is not present, he doesn’t look like someone in the winery, so it should not be a temporary stand-in, but a spontaneous awakening, a natural stand-in.
This stand-in looks like a humanoid as a whole. Roughly speaking, it looks like a translucent black, but there is a blurred dividing line from the upper right corner of the body to the lower left corner. Above the dividing line, it is blue, like a sparkling water surface; and below the dividing line, it is a hazy white, like fog, and like bubbles.
Therefore, Guan Dounan himself called this stand-in “water vapor mirror”, as for what Ichiji Takashi himself called it, it was none of his business.
In short, the appearance of this double looks half water and half air. And when Zhilong splashed water just now, the stand-in stretched his fingers into the glass of water, dyeing the glass with a strange color.
And the ability of this stand-in, in simple terms, the water it touches will have a special effect. After covering a person’s mouth and nose, it can reverse the “air” and “water”. Breathing in the air is like drowning in water. The more you breathe, the closer you are to death.
If you want to avoid the result of death, you have to reverse the drowning process and put your head in the water so that the person can breathe normally.
This mechanism is indeed very unscientific. If you want to say that breathing air is like drowning, it is better to say that there is an extra layer of water, but people are not fish and cannot obtain dissolved oxygen in water, so where did you get it? What about oxygen?
But after all, they are all stand-ins. It’s better not to worry about things that are scientific or unscientific.
“You are aiding Zhou! You, do you know what you are doing? You saved a murderer! Rika Yotsui is a murderer! And Erkaidou, they are murderers!”
Seeing that Lihua Sijing was about to be rescued, Yizhilong shouted out in a hurry. And what he said undoubtedly represented a huge secret in the ears of the guests present – Reika Yotsui and Nikaidou, were they involved in the murder?
“You, what nonsense are you talking about? You guys, don’t listen to his nonsense!” And Erkaitang, one of the protagonists in his remarks, was also a little flustered at this time, and quickly retorted. Especially when he saw the strange glances that the surrounding guests cast at him, he danced and explained again and again.
“Two years ago, I, Nikaidou, Mifune, Yotsui Reika, Gojo, Rokuda, and Yaeko went to sea on a yacht, but suddenly encountered a storm. Nikaidou and Yotsui stayed at the time. On a reef that will be submerged by water whenever the tide is high, if you don’t do anything, you will probably drown long ago…” Ichiro said fiercely, “Why didn’t they just drown at that time?!”
“Then, wasn’t that an accident? And, and…”
“At that time, Yaeko took a kayak alone to save people, but when the wind and waves subsided, only Yotsui Reika and Nikaidou were alive… They killed Yaeko, and killed Yaeko for the sake of their lives!”
“No, that’s not the case. At that time, Yaeko voluntarily gave us the lifeboat and life jacket…” Nikaidou still tried to explain in a panic, but judging from his expression, it was undoubtedly a secret.
“Hmph, you did say this to us two years ago, and we also believed your nonsense. However, I didn’t know until a month ago that it was just your nonsense, and someone told me the truth. , and, and…” Ichiji Takashi’s shout at this time has turned into a hoarse cry, even with a sense of sadness, “and, let me see the ghost of Yaeko with my own eyes, confirm this!”
“What, what?!”
As soon as this statement came out, it exploded in the crowd like a thunderbolt from the blue. Yaeko’s ghost, this kind of gods and ghosts was originally not believed by many people, but how about Dounan, the mysterious fortune-teller, he told the truth with one mouth, and people couldn’t understand this nonsense. Do not doubt it.
Under the rainy night, the temperature around them seemed to drop a little, so many people couldn’t help but gather the clothes on their shoulders and squeeze them tighter.
“What, what ghost, you bring these nonsense…”
“If you don’t believe me, just ask this guy!” Yizhilong interrupted Erjiadang’s rebuttal and looked up at Guan Dounan, “Since you are so articulate, and you have revealed my ability in one sentence, you should know that too? I said Is it true or false?”
“You, what are you talking about, Mr. fortune-teller is a fortune-teller who specializes in retrieving lost things. How can he do such a fortune-telling…” Nikaidou was surprised when he heard the words, although he didn’t really believe in fortune-telling or anything like that. , but just now, the fortune teller directly said that Zhilong was the one who destroyed the tires of the car and planned to commit a crime.
No matter how you look at it, it is not commensurate with the relatively less useful ability of “divination to retrieve what was lost in the past” as he said, and it is more like a direct access to the monitoring of the past.
So, will he also say the things he did back then?
“However, it doesn’t mean that his divination is just not divination for the future. Since it is in the past, what happened in the past should also be counted as ‘lost things’?”
“Yes, just now he directly said that Zhilong was the one who punctured the tire, and also said the things he took, this…”
The crowd around them talked a lot, as if they had discovered a new continent. Guan Dounan, who became the focus of everyone’s attention, was unmoved. To a certain extent, this was exactly what he needed.
If you want to hide one thing or a thing, besides hiding it so that no one knows about it, there is another way to mix it with him with a lot of plausible things. Just like before the crossing, the so-called “correct collective memory” on the Internet public opinion field.
It is impossible for him to keep his ability limited to the scope of “retrieving things from the past”. The situation is forced, and he may forget this character from time to time. This will cause trouble.
So, it’s better to make things more messy. Instead of trying to hide that piece of information, it’s better to create a hundred pieces of fake information and let people find it.
The rumors that the guests said before, “even the lost face can be recovered” is actually a kind of false information. I have to say that the ability of these people to spread the truth is really impressive.
And here, performing some extra abilities can also make your image more confusing. It is enough to add a lot of interference options between [mysterious fortune teller] [the ability to retrieve lost things] [Guan Dounan himself] [Xiao Hei’s true ability] which can reveal his true identity and ability.
Guan Dounan glanced at Yizhilong, flipping the coin in his hand, in the eyes of everyone, it was a divination, he blinked, but suddenly frowned.
“The one who tells you the truth is called the ‘intermediary’?”
“You sure are…yes! Then tell everyone, is it Lihua Sijing and Erkaidou, who robbed Yaeko’s life jackets and lifeboats!” Yizhilong was stunned, as if he didn’t expect Guan Dounan to ask This question, but then admit it, and let him continue to say the truth he wants.
“Lord fortune-teller, you…” President Yotsui regained a little sanity at this time, and began to worry about the development of the matter, and cried out, but Guan Dounan ignored him and said to himself.
“If you say ‘robbing’, what kind of act is robbing?” Guan Dounan flipped the coin in his hand, “I don’t know, hitting Yaeko on the head with the pony that she was sitting on while fishing made her faint, does it count as robbing? ?”
“Of course! This is robbery! Even murder, this is murder!”
Yizhilong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately followed Guan Dounan’s words and shouted. And what he said also made President Yotsui’s face change abruptly, and the people around him also began to whisper and point at President Yotsui.
Even if this is an unsolved case two years ago, even if this is just a conversation between a fortune teller and a “madman”, there is no real evidence. But as long as this news and rumors spread, it will be a heavy blow to the reputation and image of the Four Wells Consortium.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and now it appears in the villa of President Yotsui. Although the people attending his daughter’s birthday are nominally their “friends”, they may start spreading rumors the next day, or even more radical other things. In this way, it will attack the power of the Four Wells Consortium.
Sometimes, the power of language can be terrifying.
“Damn, why…”
President Sijing felt dizzy for a while, and looked fiercely at the culprit who caused all this, the fortune-teller Guan Dounan. He gave him 500,000 yen, why did he just follow Yizhilong and make a fool of himself?
And he spoke so quickly, he didn’t even have time to buy him with more money.
“Oh~www.mtlnovel.com~ Since there was a murder case and your car had a flat tire, please stay with the parties involved.” Guan Dounan raised the phone in his hand, “I have already called the police. already.”
“you!…”
Guan Dounan ignored the murderous gazes of Erkaitang and President Yotsui. He could have ignored this matter and fooled it. The new stand-in messenger, Ichiji Takashi, can also be temporarily hidden, and will report to Lesson n later.
However, what he saw with Xiao Hei made him unable to have any sympathy for Yotsui Lihua and this person called Nikaidou. That’s not a moral dilemma that someone has to be abandoned, and they can survive without grabbing a life jacket.
However, just to make the probability of surviving “higher”, Lihua Sijing and Erjiaidang killed them. Their faces were acquired by Xiao Hei, which left Guan Dounan extremely deep and disgusting. impression.
