Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 366 Tianshu, Yaoguang!
The Fist of Blue Sapphire is known as a legendary secret treasure, but of course it is not really related to magic.

At least, as far as we know now, Yingsheng thinks so.

"He played a bad joke on the whole world. Mr. Chen is really a naughty boy."

Tan Chong Han is a well-known figure in Singapore.

He is very passionate about martial arts, and after salvaging the Fist of Blue Sapphire from the bottom of the sea, he organized a karate tournament and offered it as the prize for the champion.

After the unusual incident involving Leon Law, due to a strange misunderstanding, various forces came to Chen Zhonghan one after another, asking for the Crimson Fist.

If one force dominates the rest, even if Chen Zhonghan is very powerful in Singapore, he is just a slightly larger ant. In the face of the power of a big country, he can only surrender.

However, less than five minutes after the US side came over, the Chinese side also came over.

This is very interesting.

Under a certain balance, the Fist of Blue Sapphire is still nominally Chen Zhonghan's personal property.

When neither the Chinese nor the American side found anything unusual with the Fist of Blue Sapphire in a short period of time, Chen Zhonghan touched his gray beard and an idea came to his mind.

He wants to play big!
……

……

In the vast and quiet place, a being named Yingsheng emerged.

The world was born. He was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, sitting cross-legged on a thick scarlet pillar, looking down at the endless black clouds rolling below.

Lightning illuminated the green tiles, the claws and fangs of the Xiezhi beast tore through the rolling clouds, and Qingliu Qiansu, wearing the uniform of Teidan High School, stood on the Xiezhi.

"I didn't expect that you could be promoted to this level. I'm sorry, Qian Su, I underestimated you before."

"I was just taking advantage of it. It was your power that leaked out, Ying, and affected the Mihua Mental Hospital. I followed that thread of connection and came here."

Aoyagi Chiso and Hotaru talked about what happened before.

……

……

At some point this afternoon, she suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart, as if Xuantian was watching her in the past.

This surprised her, and she began to wonder if she was just illusory.

Just because she knew that there was no Xuantian in this world.

However, thinking of this, Qingliu Qiansu naturally thought of Yingsheng, the person in the world who was most closely connected with Xuantian and even more closely connected with her.

Recalling the process of my birth in this world, the feeling of my consciousness coming together from nowhere and creating something out of nothing...

Although Qing Liu Qian Su didn't know how Ying Sheng did it, she was 100% sure that her master was still no ordinary person in this world, and he was on the path to becoming a god!

So, does this feeling come from Master?

Chiso Aoyagi was not sure about this guess, but after seeing the simple treasure map that Sonoko showed her, she decided to go to the Beika Mental Hospital to see Hotaru.

Of course, she didn't even look at the symbol on the treasure map to match it with the real landmark. She just glanced at the "ORO" written on it.

Italian, gold.

Combined with the three stupid thieves she had seen on TV before, Aoyagi Chiso knew that this treasure map was the real thing.

It would be too much trouble to run around in the hot sun looking for treasure and finally have to contact the police.

It’s better to slip away quickly.

In this way, Aoyagi Chiso came to the Beika Mental Hospital, and soon after she stepped into the hospital gate, she had an idea in her heart.

That feeling came back again, and it was much stronger than before.

After sensing quietly for a while, Aoyagi Chisou asked the nurse at the information desk on the first floor how to visit Yingsheng.

The nurse was concentrating on drawing some messy lines on her notebook, with some thick ink dots in between. When she heard this, she looked up and saw Aoyagi Chisou wearing the uniform of Teitan High School, so she asked her to find the security guard to lead the way.

There is no way to see closely, only to watch the surveillance.

Qing Liu Qian Su thanked her, glanced at her notebook, and thinking about what she was feeling, she said, "To kill time, why don't you try to draw Beidou?"

"What is Beidou?" asked the nurse.

"Search on the Internet yourself."

Qingliu Qiansu felt that she was thinking too much, so she turned around and asked the security guard to lead the way to the monitoring room.

In the surveillance footage, Yingsheng was still sitting cross-legged in meditation, with no difference from before.

Aoyagi Chisou watched for about a quarter of an hour, and in another surveillance screen, a bearded man walked through the corridor to deliver food to Yingsheng.

Seeing that Yingsheng was still in a trance while eating, Qingliu Qiansu couldn't help but admire him.

Today I lost myself.

It sounds easy, but how many great monks and sages in history could actually reach that state and maintain it for a long time?

Not to mention modern society, with the explosion of information, what an ordinary person sees in one day is almost equivalent to what the ancients saw in their entire lives. There are endless distracting thoughts, so how can one clear one's mind?

And Yingsheng is now unable to even regain consciousness when eating, he can truly be said to be always calm and peaceful!

This ability seems to be of no use in today's world. At most, it can improve the quality of sleep and the time spent idle.

But in the previous life, this state could really achieve the effect that Yingsheng described.

With God!

Connect your thoughts to Xuantian and become a part of his vast consciousness, then the power of God will descend upon you!

The consciousness of ordinary people simply cannot withstand the impact of that level of information flood. If they are exposed to God for just a moment, they will suffer complete brain death.

Even elites who have gone through layers of screening and special training can often only maintain that state for a few seconds, and there is a great risk of losing control, so it can only be regarded as an ultimate move.

And Yingsheng... no, Tianshu.

No one knows where his limit is, and many people even speculate that he can maintain that state forever!
He is not a human being at all, he is a part of Xuantian!

pity.

Qingliu Qiansu sighed inwardly. There was no Xuantian in this world at all. Or rather, he only existed in his master's imagination.

He only has the skills to slay dragons, but there are no dragons in this world.

Quietly watching Yingsheng finish his meal at four o'clock, which he didn't know how to calculate, Qingyan Chisou continued to sit in front of the computer, watching Yingsheng sit cross-legged again.

The security guard couldn't help but say, "This student has always been like this, there will be no change."

Qing Liu Qian Su nodded, "I know, but I'm fine anyway, I'll leave when I'm hungry."

The security guard was quite surprised, "What is your relationship with him?"

"Let's just call them childhood sweethearts."

"Um...what about Miss Lan?"

"She is a gift from heaven and I am a loser, but apart from the relationship between us, Hotaru and I are much closer than she is."

The security guard scratched his head and said nothing more.

This kind of thing seems to happen quite often, where childhood sweethearts end up not being together because they are too familiar with each other.

But compared to a couple, their relationship is even closer, they can be said to be family.

After a while, after obtaining the security guard's consent, Aoyagi Chisou also sat cross-legged on the chair.

Although her meditation skills were not very good in her previous life.

Although being “always quiet and peaceful” is of no use now.

But just like she said, she had nothing to do anyway.

The master said that he was a demon or monster, and before Xuantian came, he was not worthy of the name he had in the past.

To be honest, I'm somewhat unwilling to accept it.

And can Xuantian really come?
Even if the world's technology advances by leaps and bounds in the future, it is impossible for the related drastic changes to occur one by one.

I always feel that it is an unrealistic dream...

Does this idea seem a bit ungodly?
Who cares? It was the same for me in the past. The end point of my faith is just my master and Tianshu.

Thinking of this, Qingliu Qiansu closed her eyes slightly. She knew that she was now a primitive biological brain without even a brain-computer installed, and there was no possibility of uploading consciousness. Meditation was just meditation, and there was no other benefit.

But again, just killing time.

Perhaps this idea is in line with the meaning of "tranquility", Qingliu Qiansu was able to get into the state much faster this time than in the past.

She still couldn't reach "eternal tranquility", but she had cleared her mind and let go of her desires. Her perception of the outside world had become much weaker, and her mind was calmer, and she didn't even cling to things...

Suddenly, a strange feeling came, just like the previous two times, as if Xuantian was watching!
With a "bang", the chair beside me fell to the ground, and the security guard's dreamlike voice floated into my ears from a very distant place.

"Yayoko..."

Qing Liu Qian Su's mind moved, and she suddenly opened her eyes, and saw Ying Sheng on the surveillance screen...

Shining brightly!

This light was naturally not reality, but it leaped out from Qingliu Qiansu's heart. Thanks to her peace of mind at this time, she could clearly identify every subtle thought that arose in her heart.

If you examine some of those distracting thoughts carefully, it seems like... Master was in the presence of God in the past?
Looking a little closer, this is...

What is the look you most expect in your heart?

As soon as the thought came to her mind, the inside and outside suddenly merged into one. Qingliu Qiansu vaguely saw that Yingsheng in the surveillance camera opened his eyes and looked at her.

The next moment, she lost consciousness.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Qingliu Qiansu gradually came back to her senses. However, she saw nothing when she opened her eyes, and heard nothing when she pried her ears aside. After careful perception, she felt that this place was mostly empty and even her existence should not exist.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately realized that her "self" was slowly dissipating.

And the scattered pale fragments gathered at some unknown place, gradually forming a certain shape, which was...

The North Star of the Sky!

Aoyagi Chiso's mind was inexplicably calm, and she was about to step into that good night gently, just like Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

But when she saw Beichen, she suddenly felt inspired and called out the name she most expected.

"Tianshu!"

The next moment, the dissipation of her self stopped, and then quickly reunited.

At the same time, Aoyagi Chisou opened her eyes to the outside world.

When she looked at the surveillance footage again, Yingsheng still looked the same as before, without any abnormality.

"Huh? Who are you? How did you get in?!"

Beside him, the stunned security guard suddenly spoke, looked at the high school girl sitting cross-legged on the chair, and reached for the baton at his waist.

Qing Liu Qian Su looked up at him, "Have you lost your memory?"

"What? What nonsense are you talking about?! I…"

"I'm sorry, I'm Hotaru's childhood sweetheart. I just sneaked in. Please forgive me." Aoyagi Chiso took out a few Fukuzawa Yukichi cards from her handbag and handed them to the security guard. "I want to be alone with him for a while. Can you please go out and have a cigarette, sir?"

The security guard kept looking back and forth between the stack of money and the surveillance camera, his face looking quite conflicted, "Are you really Mr. Shuiyue's childhood sweetheart?"

"It's true. No one in this world knows each other better than we do."

Aoyagi Chiso added two more pictures of Fukuzawa Yukichi.

The security guard took another look at Yingsheng in the surveillance video, took the money, and put it into his pocket quickly as if he felt it was hot.

"It's just a cigarette. You won't do anything weird to Mr. Shuiyue, right?"

Qing Liu Qian Su raised an eyebrow, recalling the security guard's previous behavior, and tentatively asked: "I want to help him escape, sir, can you help me?"

The security guard's eyelids jumped, and he said righteously, "Of course not! I will pretend that I didn't hear you. If you say it again..."

"now what?"

Aoyagi Chisou interrupted the security guard with an irresistible reason.

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun in the girl's hand, the security guard's legs trembled, "You...you, who are you?"

"I've said before, Hotaru's childhood sweetheart and companion." Aoyagi Chisou pointed at the fallen chair with the muzzle of the gun, "Sit down, we'll talk slowly."

The security guard trembled as he lifted up the chair and only sat halfway on it. "Is Mr. Shuiyue really a criminal?"

Qing Yanagi Chisou stared at his eyes for a few seconds, then shook her head and said, "No, we are partners in justice, and those policemen are paid black policemen."

The security guard let out a long sigh, "So that's how it is. I said Liuying wouldn't..."

He paused and glanced at Qingliu Qiansu.

Qing Yanagi Chisou pretended not to hear and asked, "Who is Yayoi?"

The security guard's face turned pale, "You investigated me?!"

"No, you just fell asleep and talked in your sleep."

"Ah? This..."

The security guard took out his cell phone and checked the time. He had to admit that it seemed to be true, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Yayoko was my wife. She died in a car accident last month. Sigh, I really miss her too much..."

"Please have your condolences."

Qingliu Qiansu understood and had a general guess about the abnormality that Yingsheng had just shown.

It should be related to one's heart's desire and charm.

Although the security guard had lost that memory, there was no doubt that he had already been subtly attracted by the charm exuded by the master and had developed a good impression of him.

The security guard shook his head and looked at the surveillance screen.

“If you want to rescue Mr. Shuiyue, I won’t stop you. Just go out and smoke a cigarette.

But Mr. Shuiyue himself doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving. To be honest, I have blocked the microphone in the soft bag. I also prepared software that can replace the monitoring live video source at any time, but it seems that it is no longer useful now. "

Qing Liu Qian Su's eyes showed surprise, "Then please help me replace the video source, sir."

The state that Yingsheng was in just now could actually cause the viewer to lose his memory. If a person was watching the surveillance video alone, he might not notice anything unusual and would just think that he was distracted for a while.

But if there were two people, or if something else important happened during that time, this anomaly would be easily discovered.

Aoyagi Chiso knew that Yingsheng was quite satisfied with her current life and had no intention of breaking it.

Now that he is showing his abnormality so openly, it is very likely that something is wrong. Otherwise, with Tianshu's ability, he should not be unable to control his own power.

The security guard was confused and asked, "Why?"

Aoyagi Chisou pulled out a few more photos of Fukuzawa Yukichi, "It's just my selfish desire. I don't want others to see Hotaru's true face."

"……Reasonable."

The security guard refused to take the money and immediately went to the computer to replace the video source, and then instructed Qing Yanagi Chisu on how to view the real surveillance video on her mobile phone.

Qing Liu Qian Su thanked him, said a few words to the security guard, and ran to the staff lounge to continue meditating and watching the surveillance.

At first, the frequency of the previous experience was very low, but after a certain point in time, the frequency suddenly increased.

At first, Qingyan Qiansu was unable to maintain herself after entering that void. Only then did she realize that it was not Yingsheng who drove her out, but she herself could not hold on.

But gradually, with repeated training, she was able to persist for longer periods of time.

Until the last time, the feeling was stronger than ever before. After she used it to enter the void again, she finally said a sentence:

"The Ceremony of Commitment to Destiny."

……

……

On the Pillar, Yingsheng rubbed his temples, "I'm sorry, I'm not staying idle to gain time, I'm concentrating my computing power to develop my abilities. I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in the outside world. Thank you very much this time."

Qingliu Qiansu shook her head and said nothing.

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Anyway, let's go to participate in that world's number one martial arts competition, in the name of Yaoguang."

Aoyagi Chisou finally smiled on her usually calm face, "Yes, Master."
