People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 989 Another World

Xiang Yuanguang's expression was serious as he carefully grasped the diary.

The next moment, the magatama in the pocket shimmered with light.

Everything around me began to become blurry.

Xiang Yuanguang had encountered a similar situation in the courtroom where he tried Yuan Kang Jiujiu. That time it was on the endless Orient Express. What about this time?

Where will it be this time?
Xiang Yuanguang was unaware.

However, once his surroundings settled, everything before him was a place he knew all too well.

This is Beika Town.

Beika Town is exactly the same as what Hikaru Mugen remembered.

"Shall we talk?"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out.

The voice was familiar because Xiang Yuanguang heard it every day.

But why does it feel unfamiliar?
That's because the sound didn't come from him, but from someone else.

Xiang Yuanguang raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.

This person was dressed in black, and his hairstyle had changed. It was no longer the spiky hairstyle that made him look energetic, but a slicked-back hairstyle.

But none of that matters. What matters is that he has the same face and voice as Xiang Yuanguang.

In fact, the face and voice are inherently part of the person.

Xiang Yuan raised his head and met Xiang Yuanguang's gaze.

This was the first real meeting between Xiang Yuanguang and Xiang Yuan.

The notebook that Xiang Yuan returned to that family was used as a medium.

call out.

A vehicle pulled up from a short distance away at that moment.

A man dressed in black, who looked extremely conspicuous, stepped out of the car.

This was also an acquaintance of Xiang Yuanguang.

This is Gin, the only person in the Black Organization who actually does the work.

But... does Gin exist in this world too?

Is this the afterlife, or another Beika Town?

Xiang Yuanguang frowned.

He planned to teach Gin a lesson.

However, his attention was immediately drawn to another place.

There was a guy, whose body and face were completely black, just like the unidentified black figure in the anime, who was leaning against the wall and secretly watching Gin's situation.

—What is this?
Xiang Yuanguang's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Isn't this just a shadowy figure that's assumed during reasoning? Has it become sentient, able to appear openly on the street?
Xiang Yuan, who was standing next to him, simply said,
"There's no need to pay too much attention to it; it's not important."

"Our world may look the same as yours, but it is actually completely different, both in terms of things and the rules that govern it."

"Anyway, let's go home first, and I'll explain the situation with the diary to you."

Do they look the same but are actually completely different?

Xiang Yuanguang's brows furrowed slightly.

He turned his head, intending to look for Gin's whereabouts, but he immediately noticed that Gin's figure had disappeared without a trace, a speed that was clearly beyond his expectations.

It's like it just disappeared out of thin air, it's outrageous.

Unable to find Gin's location, Xiang Yuanguang reluctantly followed Xiang Yuan to the house he had mentioned.

However, since this world is exactly the same as Beika Town in Hikaru Mukamoto's memory, at least in terms of its terrain and appearance, Hikaru Mukamoto can easily draw a conclusion based on their current route, even if Hikaru Mukamoto hasn't specified their destination.

It was obvious that this time, Xiang Yuan was taking him to Xiang Yuan Law Firm, a place he knew all too well.

Tick, tick, tick.

Xiang Yuan, whose temperament was noticeably more somber than Xiang Yuanguang's, remained silent.

Just keep moving forward.

He only spoke when they arrived at the entrance of Xiangyuan Law Firm.

"Have you finished reading all the files I put on the bookshelf?"

"Although I rarely go back to the office, the files there are not particularly good in terms of quantity or timeliness, but they should still have some reference value."

"I originally intended to lend you a hand from the very beginning."

Xiang Yuan pushed open the first-floor door, led Xiang Yuanguang inside, sat down on the sofa, and said,

"However, I never expected that someone would appear to help you at that time."

"Judging from your behavior at the time, you seemed quite familiar with that man in the red shirt?"

When was this referring to?

A hint of doubt appeared in Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.

Then he remembered—

This refers to the trial of the Moonshadow Island case three years later.

At that time, Xiang Yuanguang was driven to the brink of despair by the sudden appearance of Guiyue Liuyun. Just as he was desperately thinking about how to break the deadlock, Yujian Lianshi appeared.

This legendary prosecutor, who is quite famous in the world of Ace Attorney, helped him.

Without the logic chess taught to him by Reiji Mitsurugi, Hikaru Mugen might not have been able to win that trial, and he might not have performed so well in subsequent cases.

Logical chess is quite important to Xiang Yuanguang.

Phoenix Wright's ability to reverse his thinking was one of the key factors in his defense, as was Reiji Mitsurugi's logical chess skills; both of them were undoubtedly his mentors.

but……

"I know him, but he doesn't know me."

He gave Yuan Guang a fair and reasonable answer.

To this day, he still doesn't know why Mikami Reiji appeared to help him at that time.

Moreover, judging from Xiang Yuan's tone, it seems that if Yu Jian Lian Shi hadn't helped him back then, Xiang Yuan would have stepped in to help him get rid of Gui Yue Liu Yun.

Xiang Yuan seemed to sense Xiang Yuanguang's confusion, and he quickly said,
"The person who cleaned up Xiang Yuandong's mess back then was Guiyue Liuyun."

"As one of the renowned prosecutors who rose to fame in the old Ministry of Justice, Kizuki Ryuun's abilities were undeniable back then. However, he seems to be getting less and less competent as he gets older."

"It wouldn't be difficult for me to defeat him in court."

Xiang Yuan's voice was calm and assertive, as if stating a fact.

"Just like the time I helped you in the Shikoku region."

"I am very familiar with Guiyue Liuyun's style and fighting style, so I can specifically refute Guiyue Liuyun's arguments. However, I did not expect that you could actually do that."

"You've already grown into a top-tier lawyer in just a few court hearings."

"Now, he is a legendary lawyer who is unmatched in the courtroom. Purely in the field of defense law, I am no match for you."

"That's why I used Professor Moriarty to convey a message to you in the Cocoon Game."

"Of course, I didn't initially intend to use that diary for spiritual communication."

"Before I became a ghost, I didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all. That diary was just one of the backup plans I used to fight back after I died."

"Now, let me introduce it to you."
