Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 374: The most beautiful woman in the world! Firefly's Shura Field!
The winner is Goemon.

Although the small boss Vodka entered the second stage, just like in all RPG games, he entered it when his health was low.

The spirit of a strong person can often transcend the body, but there is no doubt that the gravity of flesh and blood cannot be ignored.

What's more, vodka can hardly be considered a true powerhouse.

Technology plus...magic?
In short, he took a crash course.

"If you get Vodka into this state right from the start, he'll probably win."

Rum spoke into the headset.

Hotaru ignored him and asked Goemon to take off Vodka's black Prajna mask to see if he was dead.

Vodka fell to the ground suddenly, perhaps because of exhaustion, or because his will was burned out, or maybe because of a gunshot.

Goemon let his left hand hang down, and with his right hand he sheathed the sword, put it on his belt, and stepped forward to catch Vodka's breath.

The first time Yingsheng saw the scene under Vodka's sunglasses, he saw just a pair of ordinary eyes and rough facial features. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary person walking in the wind and snow on the streets of St. Petersburg.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Vodka has his eyes closed and his face calm at the moment.

Lying in the center of the bright steel-structured dome hall, looking up at the changing clouds in the sky through a small gap, he now really looks a bit like a stone statue in the temple.

Yingsheng suddenly felt that if Vodka died like this, it would be a good destination.

I guess some people will make far-fetched claims, saying that he had a great enlightenment or that the wise king had passed away.

But it's a pity.

He is still alive.

"Mr. Ishikawa, you can finish off the enemy." Yingsheng said.

"I have no grudge against him, and... he possesses the nature of Buddha." Goemon put the mask back on.

Yingsheng threw him a bottle of pills and called the medical staff to come and carry Vodka away.

Vodka's size and equipment were too heavy, and six doctors came in but were unable to carry him down. In the end, two Thai monks came down to help and carried him out.

The five khaki-colored robes holding the dark Mingwang gradually walked out of the bright hall into the darkness.

Yingsheng controlled the camera angle and took pictures when the three of them walked across the boundary between light and darkness. The six people in white coats followed them, two in front and four behind, like pilgrims.

"Guys, I feel like I could win a Pulitzer Prize."

Yingsheng pulled up the photos on the big screen.

The crowd laughed in good faith, and some professionals nodded their heads or commented on what was not good enough.

A grand palace.

Divine will.

In the midst of endless chaos, order will always emerge.

Arrive at the ultimate truth.

During the short break between matches, the crowd was talking a lot, initially focusing on the martial arts tournament, but then becoming all-encompassing.

Gin listened attentively for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Has the ritual of gathering magic power begun?"

"Who knows."

Yingsheng looked down at the dilapidated venue and asked the staff who came in to repair it to leave.

"Let it be. In fact, I think it would be more convenient if there is soil underneath."

"Please ask the next team to get ready."

The game continues.

……

……

At twelve noon, the martial arts competition had a halftime break.

Yingsheng declined many invitations to have dinner together, most of whom were politicians and business leaders from various countries, both men and women.

But when he saw her, Yingsheng knew that he couldn't refuse.

the reason is simple.

She is so beautiful.

In the humid tropical breeze, a black gauze skirt fluttered slightly. The thin fabric fits her slender figure, and the cross straps highlight her delicate neck line.

In the passage at the backstage exit, she walked against the flow of people towards Yingsheng. The curve of her calves under her fluttering skirt was perfect, with a warm texture like white jade.

The crowd around him suddenly lost its color, and all the words melted into the air.

The backdrop of the world stretched backwards rapidly, and the sky and earth turned pale.

Only her.

The fine wine was brewed from the blood of the purest virgin in the world, and poured down from the morning glow. That was her dark red hair.

The absolutely beautiful face seems to be the limit of the Creator, and even has a bit of dreamy blur, making it difficult to see clearly.

Mortals cannot look directly at the sun, nor can they look directly at her.

Only those wine-red eyes are the stars that guide the lost and the divine revelation of the lambs.

She walked up to Yingsheng with a faint smile between her eyebrows.

"Would you please have lunch with me, Suigetsu-kun?"

The elegant fragrance lingers in the heart, not strong, but enough to make people intoxicated.

"Of course, Koizumi-san."

Yingsheng smiled and extended his right hand to her.

Another hand as soft as boneless came over gently, bringing with it a slight coldness and numbness.

The two held hands and walked towards the exit side by side.

An unknown amount of time passed before another group of people walked into the passage and discovered something so strange that they dared not move.

Everyone in the corridor, men and women, young and old, in suits, dresses, cheongsams, black and white headscarves, all stood like sculptures, motionless.

They all stared blankly at one place, a position slightly in the center of the crowd.

And there was clearly nothing on the bright red carpet.

"Gulu..."

Someone's Adam's apple rolled and he took a step back.

Perhaps it was his footsteps that caused the air to solidify, gathering together the countless scattered consciousnesses, and the sculptures finally began to move.

“How beautiful…”

A lady with short silver hair had blurry eyes and someone was thinking about something, with a blush on her cheeks.

The others all nodded in agreement, saying that the girl and Liuying were definitely a match made in heaven, and both were so beautiful that they didn't seem like ordinary people.

After listening for a few breaths, the later comers realized that Liuying, who was not invited by anyone, was abducted by a stunningly beautiful girl.

They didn't see the scene with their own eyes, so they didn't feel deeply touched.

One of the staff members who had been asked to do something by someone before had an idea and found a gap three minutes later to send out an email.

……

……

A French restaurant located on a high-rise building has panoramic windows overlooking the Kallang River merging into the ocean. Behind the greenery of the Gardens by the Bay are tiny ships and vast blue waves.

Even though Singapore is already overcrowded, many people find it difficult to find a secluded place to eat their lunch.

The atrium paved with obsidian tiles is still spacious and quiet.

Melodious orchestral music floats in the pleasant air.

The waiter at the door looked towards the window from time to time. The fountain splashed a hazy mist as a partition, making the magnificent view under the blue sky seem a little ethereal. He could only vaguely see the deep red wine swaying gently in the goblet, like mist and dew.

Dang~~
A light touch, like the sound of nature.

Yingsheng took a sip of the red wine in the glass, or rather, he just wet his lips with the wine.

After being released from Mihua Mental Hospital, he no longer had any particular liking for alcohol.

Think again about the article published in the Lancet, the appropriate dose of alcohol intake is zero.

He no longer wants to drink unless necessary.

"So, you are a magician?"

Yingsheng put down his wine glass and looked at the girl opposite him.

Koizumi Akako was similar to Hotaru. After she put down her wine glass, the level of the wine in the glass only dropped a little.

"Can't I just be good-looking?"

Her small nose wrinkled slightly, even if it expressed dissatisfaction, it reminded people of the elves in the ancient forest.

Yingsheng smiled and said, "You are indeed the most beautiful person I have ever seen, but judging from the performance of those people, it seems that it is more than that. It seems that they are more like being bewitched by you."

"Have you ever seduced anyone? Otherwise, why would you think of going to such a strange place?" asked Koizumi Hongzi.

"Because I am very experienced. Even ordinary people would not react in that way when they see something beautiful. Moreover, each of them is well-informed and not vulgar."

Yingsheng said this as a matter of course.

Koizumi Hongzi was very upset, "You are simply the ultimate narcissist, and everyone in this world is ordinary, there is no difference."

"That's strange. Then why did you come to see me? Isn't it for Kuroba Kaito?"

Yingsheng put down his knife and fork and put a piece of cut steak into his mouth.

It's fresh and juicy, slightly better than the food in the mental hospital.

"Kuroba Kaito? Why would I come here because of him?"

Koizumi Hongzi snorted, "He can play detective games as long as he wants. I just wanted to come and see what secrets the Fist of Blue Sapphire has. But their defenses are too tight, and I can't get in at all, so I came to you for help."

Yingsheng raised an eyebrow, "If I remember correctly, today should be the first time we meet."

"Oh……"

Koizumi Hongzi drawled out her words, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "You are such a person, do you really care about these things?"

Yingsheng said casually: "You seem to have some misunderstanding about me, and even Her Majesty the Witch cannot get close to the Fist of Blue Sapphire, so what else can I do?"

"I know everything about you, at least most of it. The sources of this information are not only the information available to all parties, but also some special channels," said Koizumi Akako.

"Is it something like crystal ball divination?"

"Why are you so sure that I'm a witch?"

"Because you have seduced me before, and I did fall for it." Yingsheng looked into Koizumi Hongzi's wine-red eyes, "Your appearance is enough to shame the goddess of beauty. To be honest, even if you don't use that method, I will leave with you."

Koizumi Hongzi has heard countless compliments, but she loves to hear this and still has a proud smile on her face.

"Of course, I am the most beautiful person in the world."

But she immediately frowned again, "You actually resisted my charm, there must be something wrong with you."

"Ah, so you admit it now?"

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I think rationally most of the time. I don't think I would be attracted to someone I just met for the first time. Plus, I've always been with people who are not bad looking, so maybe I have developed resistance."

Koizumi Hongzi said in a dissatisfied tone, "So I am the special one. Haven't you heard of love at first sight?"

"I'm sorry, but I've already experienced that once in a lifetime moment."

"Xedomatsu Kiyoko? She is indeed pretty, barely one of the best in the world, but she is far inferior to me. You missed a wonderful experience."

Yingsheng shook his head, "I don't think it's a good thing to be your prisoner, and that person is not her."

Koizumi Hongzi frowned again, "It can't be Mao Lilan, you have really bad taste."

"That's too rude. Is it because Xiaolan and Nakamori look alike that you hate her?"

"No, she is average looking. This is an objective fact."

"So you really do care about Kuroba Kaito. According to the survey, he's the only boy in your class who treats you with indifference, so he's also been able to resist your charm, right?"

"I've already said it, why are you so annoying? Do you want to play detective too?"

Koizumi Hongzi took out a red heart-shaped gift box and handed it to Yingsheng.

"Since you are so confident in your rationality, why don't you eat this?"

Yingsheng took the gift box, untied the golden and red bow, and inside was a heart-shaped chocolate.

He looked at Koizumi Hongzi, "Are all you witches so direct in your actions? Even if you just make up an excuse and hand it over like that, who would dare to eat it?"

“Yohoho…”

Koizumi Hongzi covered her mouth and let out a megalomaniac laugh, narrowing her eyes slightly, with a dangerous light in her wine-red eyes.

"But according to my divination, not only will you eat it, but from now on, you will fall in love with me from the bottom of your heart and become my servant."

Yingsheng tapped the table with his index finger and was silent for a while.

"Could it be that the result of your divination is fate? No matter how much mortals resist, they are part of fate and will inevitably be swept away by the torrent to the end?"

"The paths to achieve it may be slightly different, but the result is inevitable," Koizumi Akako said without hesitation.

"Like Oedipus?"

"Yes."

"Is it possible that it is achieved in a strange way, just like in the fable?"

Yingsheng said: "For example, A prays to God, hoping that B will always be with him and never betray him. God responds and sends a flood, killing everyone else in the world, leaving the two of them sitting in a small boat.

Is this possible? "

Koizumi Hongzi said seriously: "I have to remind you that some things are real. Your analogy is inappropriate."

"I've already said it's just a parable, and I don't think He would care about such a small matter."

After just a little probing, he heard a horrifying piece of news. Although Yingsheng was surprised, he didn't care too much.

After all, this world is dominated by technology. Even if there are some strange things, their power is probably very limited.

"Some words have different weight when spoken by different people," said Koizumi Hongzi.

"Is there something special about me?"

"In divination, there is a mist shrouding you."

Yingsheng nodded thoughtfully, guessing that it was related to his own time travel, and the thought flashed through his mind.

"Then why do you see so clearly that I'm in love with you? It can't be a trick of the gypsies."

"…It's so clear. How should I know why? Don't you have a split personality? Maybe this is another you."

Koizumi Hongzi raised her hand to take the chocolate.

Yingsheng quickly grabbed the tip of the heart and said, "Don't worry, I don't intend to defy fate..."

At this time,
pat--!
There was a sound in the atrium, and they both looked over at the same time.

Next to the fountain, Suzuki Sonoko covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of shock, and a digital camera fell to the ground in front of her.

Behind her, Xiaolan, who was chatting with Kyogoku Makoto, heard the voice and looked up.

Right now, under the blue sky, two perfect couples who seemed to have walked out of a poem or painting were sitting opposite each other, their hands connected in mid-air, and in the center was...

An opened box of heart-shaped chocolates.

In an instant, time seemed to stand still.

On the other side of the fountain, a man in black with long silver hair appeared and put two pieces of strawberry-flavored chewing gum into his mouth.

“It’s really hard to book a seat here.”
