Chapter 113 Watching: Prey(1/2)
Cats are creatures that can feel free even if they are alone on the street.
[Moonlight Night] I met a man in front of Dr. Ali's house late at night. The man was holding a letter in his hand, and a line of names was written on the white envelope. It - or maybe he could see the words on it clearly.
.
After Bai Cangwang sent his pet to the designated location, he fell asleep on the bed. Time passed by unconsciously. When he woke up listening to the alarm on his phone, the first thing he did was to check the pet's records for his actions before the moonlit night.
[[Moonlight] received the order, now go to the target location.
[Moonlight] has arrived at the target location and has locked the following target [Edogawa Conan]. [Moonlight] has entered the following state...]
There was a cat next to Edogawa Conan. Shirakura Nozomi used the pet care skill. In the game interface that appeared in front of him, a screen showing the picture from the cat's perspective appeared in front of him.
Tsukiye is a pet that came out of the domestication pen. It has the habits of a cat, but it is not an ordinary animal, but an AI that can operate independently like a little star. This is indeed the home of Dr. Agasa, and Edogawa Conan is there
Within Yue Ye's line of sight, Bai Cangwang directed Yue Ye to rest at Dr. Ali's house, and he jumped onto a shelf. The world in front of the cat's eyes was very high, but when the cat came to a high place, everything changed.
They are all within its line of sight, and are looked down upon by it from above.
[Pet Care Skills: Owner’s Attention]
The voices of the children were heard, and they obviously still had a childish voice, but when discussing the topic, their tone was extremely serious, like two little adults.
Edogawa Conan was talking to Haibara Ai about the recent situation, and Shirakura Nozomi listened to a few words, which were roughly related to the case that happened in Yoneka Town today.
For example, an employee who suddenly died of a heart attack in the bathroom due to being emotionally stimulated by his work phone, and a certain boy who discovered the truth about the deceased together with Edogawa Conan...
"That boy gave me a very strange feeling. If I meet him, it's better to stay away." Edogawa Conan said.
"What kind of person is that?" Haiyuan Ai said, "It makes you feel strange. Maybe there is something special about him."
"Actually, he didn't do anything... His face wasn't very scary. He looked like he was a high school student, probably a student. But even though he didn't have any special expression, he gave me the feeling of being a bit dangerous, like
It gives me the feeling of being a gloomy person who has lived in a depressive environment for a long time and may explode at any time." Edogawa Conan touched his chin, he recalled the boy he met today and said hesitantly.
The last sentence, "Actually, I even think that the feeling he gave me is somewhat similar to the feeling that people in the organization give me..."
Haibara Ai was a little concerned when listening to Edogawa Conan's description: "You are obviously just a high school student, but you feel so oppressed? Maybe it's because you had some bad encounters in school, or you have experienced something before. Even
You said that you are somewhat similar to the people in the organization...If you meet me again in the future, remind me to pay more attention to it. Have you packed everything? You will have to stay in the hotel starting tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Conan Edogawa felt a little depressed: "I don't know what they are going to do."
"We'll find out tomorrow. We are just ordinary primary school students now...what do you want me to do?" The brown-haired little girl raised her eyebrows. "Such school-related changes must be approved by documents from the Education Bureau. These documents are all
It was only announced after the government approved it. After all, it is information from a government agency, and it is not easy to check. I am not an elite hacker."
"...It seems we can only take one step at a time."
Their conversation turned to other topics, and Bai Cangwang observed through the moonlit night. At this time, he noticed a familiar man's figure outside the door of Dr. Ali's house outside the window.
Oda Sakunosuke was standing there.
When did he go out? Bai Cangwang sat up from the bed and leaned his back on the head of the bed. He had just woken up not long ago, and the lights in the room had not been turned on. The room was very quiet, and only his screen with a faint light was on.
There was a voice coming out.
Oda Sakunosuke was not at home. He was outside the door of Dr. Agasa's house, and he was holding some white paper-like object in his hand. Shirakura asked Tsukiye to slip out of the room along the window, and the black cat blended into the night and came.
outside the house.
The figure of the man in the cat's eyes became clearer, and the object held in Oda Sanunosuke's hand was also clearly visible. It was an envelope. When the moonlight fell on the ground outside the closed door, Oda Sanunosuke also noticed it.
.
The man is very gentle towards small animals. When he saw the cat, the man said in a clear and gentle voice: "Are you the new cat in Dr. Ali's house?"
Shirakura Nozomi couldn't help but smile. He asked Tsukiye to get closer to Oda Sakunosuke and chose the interactive mode. The follow mode for the goal of [Edogawa Conan] was lifted, and he could move more freely as he pleased. And now,
After receiving the owner's wish to interact, the black Norwegian forest cat blinked its golden eyes, stretched out its paw and placed its paw on one of the man's fingers.
Oda Sakunosuke really liked it.
The close distance also allowed him to see the words on the envelope clearly. Oda Sakunosuke's handwriting wrote the name of Edogawa Conan. This letter was written by him to Edogawa Conan. He didn't know what the content of the letter was.
But thinking about what he had told Oda Sakunosuke about Tedan Elementary School before, Shirakura Nozomi subconsciously felt that this letter might be related to this matter.
Oda Sakunosuke went out this time to send a letter to Edogawa Conan. What did he want to talk to this elementary school student alone? Need to use a letter that can only be read by two people?
He asked Tsukiye to pat the letter. Oda Sakunosuke looked at the cat and handed the envelope to the cat. Tsukiye lowered his head, picked up the envelope, and left quickly under Shirakura Nozomi's command.
Oda Sakunosuke will return home, but before that, let him see what it will be like for Edogawa Conan to receive this letter——
The boy lowered his head and read the letter.
The boy's blue pupils shrank slightly, which was a sign of nervousness.
The boy swallowed and silently folded the paper in the envelope.
Bai Cangwang also saw the words on the letter: "...Wow."
Where did Oda Sakunosuke get this information from?
He repeatedly recalled the two lines of words he just saw. It seemed that Oda Sakunosuke knew that in addition to the incompetent people in this world, there are also people with special abilities before he knew it... If this information
It was given by someone whom Oda Sakunosuke knew. That person was most likely to be connected with the Teidan Elementary School reform incident, so he knew about the existence of people with special abilities.
What is [playing detective games with you]?
...Forget it, with Edogawa Conan's acting skills, it is purely because of his elementary school appearance that he is not considered strange. If he had always said that he was playing a detective game when investigating cases, Oda Sakunosuke would have believed Conan.
It seems normal to play detective games with him.
After all, Brother Oda doesn't care too much. It's impossible for Brother Oda to discover Conan's true identity... Wait, what if?
No, no, this is unlikely. I have never heard Oda Sakunosuke talk about the topic of special ability users related to extraordinary life before, and I have never seen him paying attention to the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi... No matter what,
The reality of a high school student turning into an elementary school student is unscientific, right? Oda Sakunosuke has always been a novel writer who wrote seriously and lived an ordinary life. How could he discover this secret?
It must be related to the person who told him the reform information of Didan High School. Who was that person?
Bai Cangwang lay back on the bed and pulled up the quilt.
He put away the screen where he was paying attention to his pet. If Edogawa Conan doesn't go out tonight, nothing will happen to him. It's okay to pay attention to him again during school time tomorrow.
He was thinking in his mind.
First of all, Oda Sakunosuke is a novelist who loves creation. When I first met him at the Shirakura family where his parents were still alive, Oda Sakunosuke was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who longed for creation and tried to take the first step. For
At that time, Shirakura Nozomi didn't pay much attention to Oda Sakunosuke. He only remembered that he was an older brother who was highly rated by his parents.
For him, who had sealed his memory at that time and grew up as a cub, people who were praised well by his parents were considered good people.
After his parents passed away, he was taken back from the hospital by a novelist whom his parents had helped. Soon after, he escaped and contacted Oda Sakunosuke. Oda Sakunosuke, who was still underage at the time, was under the supervision of another adult, a doctor named Mori.
After that, Oda Sakunosuke lived with him. During that time, the only acquaintance Shirakura remembered of Oda Sakunosuke was Dr. Mori.
Contact with the concept of [death] loosened his frozen memories, and the abilities and knowledge from his previous life returned to his new self, which made his body more susceptible to illness. When he was a child, he followed Oda Sakunosuke and helped him
He lived with Dr. Mori for some time while he nursed back his health.
Thanks to Dr. Sen's help, he is much healthier now, and as long as he does not seek death, there will be no major problems.
In short, the acquaintance of Oda Sakunosuke during that time was Dr. Mori. After that, the only person who had a closer relationship was Dazai Osamu who suddenly appeared outside Shirakura's house... None of these people were related to people with special abilities.
Dr. Mori is the director of Yokohama Mori Hospital, and Osamu Dazai is the editor-in-chief of Port Publishing House. Who else would be related to people with special abilities, and could even obtain undisclosed internal intelligence from the government and tell it to Oda?
As a hearing aid?
Bai Cangwang sighed slowly.
"Brother Oda has a lot of friends..."
If you think about it carefully, although Oda Sakunosuke always created at home, during his junior high school years, Oda Sakunosuke would go back to Yokohama from time to time for business trips. Only when we returned to Yokohama last time and met Yoneka Town, Oda Sakunosuke did not
I often go out. Maybe it was when I was in Yokohama that I got to know the people with special abilities there... In Yokohama, there are only people with special abilities.
Nozomi Shirakura doesn't want to interfere with Oda Sanunosuke's friendship. He is an adult and will choose his own friends. However, since he is making friends with people with special abilities, he must also take some measures to prevent Oda Sanunosuke from being implicated.
.
After all, there are defected curse masters in the world of magic, and there must be people who use their powers to commit crimes in the world of superpowers. Although I don’t know who the other party is, but having such information, he is definitely not at odds with the dispute.
Regardless of the person, even if there is only a slight possibility, Bai Cangwang does not want it to become a reality.
——If you want to threaten a person with supernatural powers, the most effective method is to start with his closest relatives and friends.
Oda Sakunosuke is such a perfect prey.
...This is not okay.
He was lying on his side, and from the bed he could see out the open window, with light stars scattered in the night sky. Bai Cang looked at the night sky, and in the silence, he heard the man's footsteps coming from the corridor.
There was a gentle knock on the room door.
"Xiao Wang, it's dinner time. If you don't eat on time, your stomach will hurt. Are you awake?"
When Shirakura Nozomi needs sleep, Oda Sakunosuke will usually not disturb him. But if the sleeping time conflicts with the meal time, Oda Sakunosuke will definitely wake him up and let him eat first and then catch up on his sleep. Shirakura Nozomi wakes up
When he came, he also set an alarm clock on his mobile phone to remind him to wake up.
Before turning off the alarm clock on his mobile phone, he noticed that both Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie had sent him a lot of unread messages. There was also a group chat on the social software, but Bai Cangwang didn't click on them, and they were still unread.
Read and abbreviate state.
