Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 197 Supernatural Powers

Bai Shi was also confused at this time...

How to barely compete is an S-level achievement.

Only if you win, you get A grade?
Bai Shi also staggered at this time, and at the same time, he was confused about the way of judging "achievement rewards", but... for this kind of thing, he had no place to complain!
At the same time, another piece of information flooded into Bai Shi's mind...

This time it’s not a scientific system, but… the power of unscientific magic!

From this, Bai Shi also understood what had just happened.

In short, Koizumi Hongzi made a mistake in judgment and was attacked by her own magic, and the result of the backlash was...

Now she owes Shiraishi three "promises"!
This is what the witch's inheritance is like...

It can easily backfire and is very conceptual.

From this point of view, Shiraishi can generally understand why the achievement of "stalemate" is greater than that of "victory".

During the "stalemate", because the system judged that the "witch" was a very high-level existence, the danger of competing with her was no less than being injured by [Unyielding]!

The "victory" that followed was simply the backlash of the witch's own methods. It had nothing to do with Shiraishi in essence. It could even be considered as "receiving a gift from the witch."

……

"Master!" As soon as the magic circle disappeared, Hasko rushed to Hongzi and blocked his master behind him.

At the same time, Hongzi leaned on the sickle, half-crouched weakly, and then knelt directly on the ground, looking at Bai Shi angrily...

"I told you I'm not a troll, right?" Bai Shizhi spread his hands proudly.

"Your mental power..." Hongzi looked at Shiraishi breathlessly - she was prepared for things like "It's not a giant monster", but she just needed to knock Shiraishi unconscious and stop the magic. What was really unexpected was the strength of his mental power afterwards!
"Maybe it's because... I've been a tough person since I was young!" Bai Shi said casually. He now roughly understood that Hongzi's mental power, according to the system's classification, also has a strength of [Spirit] Lv10.

only……

Bai Shi's brain is big enough and strong enough, and the muscles in his brain have not grown in vain. Everyone's "quality" is the same, but Bai Shi's "quantity" is much higher!

Hongzi didn't deserve to be wronged this time...

"The witch's three promises? Let me see the options..." Bai Shi was sorting out the information that had just flooded into his mind.

The main theme of the witch's magic is "exchange". After being backlashed, as the target of taming, Hongzi owes three promises.

But not just any request can be made. After all, the witch is not a magic lamp and she is not here to make wishes!
There are only three categories that can make "promises", corresponding to the three witch inheritances inherited by Hongzi - the Witch of Killing, the Witch of Greed, and the Witch of Pain.

Killing means helping the target kill a person; Greed means helping the target obtain an item; Pain is just a punishment and seems to be the most useless, simply making Hongzi suffer pain while the other party gets nothing.

Before the "three promises" are fulfilled, Hongzi will be bound by magic and experience various inconveniences.

And as long as the other party makes a request that meets the requirements, the witch must do her best to complete it, and there will be more inconveniences before it is completed!
"Hey, hurry up, is there anyone you want to kill?" Koizumi Hongzi asked directly with pretended disdain.

at the same time……

Although Koizumi Hongzi felt unwilling, she was also slightly relieved - fortunately, she did not accept the inheritance of the Witch of Pleasure.

"Your inheritance is too lawless... killing people and stealing things. How about the third type?" Bai Shi said deliberately at this time.

Koizumi Akako:!!!
are you crazy?

It's harmful to others and not beneficial to yourself, right?
If she chooses "pain", it will undoubtedly be the most disadvantageous for Koizumi Hongzi, not to mention the three times of pain!

"Wait, wait a minute... You also have a lot of people you don't like and can't punish by law, right?" Koizumi Akako began to lose control.

"No, because I'm kind!" Bai Shi said as a matter of course.

Hongzi: ...

"Then you can choose three death row prisoners..." Hongzi said inducemently.

"No, no, no. There is also a death penalty procedure for death row inmates. Killing death row inmates is also an act of murder." Bai Shi shook his head repeatedly.

Hongzi: ...

Hongzi also realized at this time - you are so kind! You just want to take advantage!
"Tell me first, what's going on with you lawless criminals!" Bai Shi's tone was complacent, and he returned to the original purpose.

That’s right, in Bai Shi’s opinion, these “three promises” are not important at all…

More importantly, with these "three commitments", I can make more demands. …

Originally, Shiraishi was worried that Koizumi Akako might not honestly tell him about the "supernatural powers"...but who knew that she would come to him on her own initiative!

Seeing that he was becoming fearless, Hongzi felt unhappy but had to answer honestly - otherwise, there would be three promises, and the first one would be "painful", which would not be fun!
At the same time, Hongzi could no longer maintain her witch uniform...

The golden snake battle suit and the sickle wand turned into broken light and disappeared together, but... after the broken light disappeared, a normal long skirt was revealed underneath!
Shiraishi's eyes lit up when he saw this - she was indeed a witch, she could "change clothes instantly".

"I also didn't expect that a supernatural person like you, whose power has already manifested,... actually knows nothing about supernatural powers, just like... Kuroba-san." Hongzi knew that Shiraishi had already discovered the identity of "Kid", and she didn't play tricks on him.

"Kuroba? Kuroba Kaito?" Bai Shi was stunned when he heard that.

"Well, his magic has reached the level of 'supernatural'... otherwise it wouldn't be so incredible." Hongzi said, looking at Shiraishi as a matter of course and said: "You didn't notice it, did you?"

Bai Shi shook his head frankly and said, "I only saw him yesterday."

"I see. If you watch more, you will find that the success of his 'magic' is not just a matter of magic tricks and techniques, but because it can influence the 'audience'." Hongzi nodded.

Who is the “audience”?
Except for himself and his "assistant", everyone else is an audience!

Just like Aoko once doubted whether Kaito was Kid, but...

Kidd broke the deadlock with a "dummy"!
A "fake person" accompanied Qingzi to watch most of the movie without being discovered by anyone. That fake person was not real...

The crappy mannequin wasn't that similar, so even if it was darker in the cinema, it would have been impossible for it not to be discovered.

This is even more true of Kidd's imaginative "crime process" every time.

They are all "generally speaking" impossible techniques. The so-called "revealing the secrets of the techniques" is more like finding a "scientific reason" than revealing the secrets...

At the same time, Shiraishi also thought of the time when he tested Kaito before, when his whole body was "shining" - how did he usually hide so many things on his body without being discovered?

Even Shiraishi only saw the "bright spots" and did not find the real flaws.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed... very unscientific!
"Although you didn't know the existence of supernatural powers before, but... now you have seen the manifestations of all three supernatural powers." Hongzi said with some emotion.

"What? All three?" Bai Shi was stunned when he heard that.

Soon after Hongzi's explanation, Bai Shi gradually understood...

The so-called three types are magic, magic, and evolution...

As for magic, it is naturally the kind performed by the two generations of "Kid", which has a strong performance nature and will confuse the "audience". In ancient times, it was also called "illusion".

As for magic, naturally that means people like Koizumi Akako, who can do all kinds of "incredible" things.

The evolved type refers to Bai Shi himself, humans or something else, who has surpassed their own limits!

"So...how many people of this kind are there?" Bai Shi was also a little puzzled. Based on his own experience, if there were such people, why had he never discovered them before?
"In the whole world, there are no more than 100 people who can truly use magic, and no more than 1000 people who can even touch the surface of it. There is still a complete inheritance today... As far as I know, there is no other magic except Red Magic." Hongzi said with some pride.

Bai Shi really wanted to say - you have a heritage, but you don’t even recognize a giant monster?
But because I still had something to ask her, I didn't say it.

"No wonder..." Bai Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this - he had never encountered such a number, so it was normal.

What Shiraishi is most worried about is the emergence of all kinds of "superpower criminals" in the future, who will be able to fly into the sky, hide in the ground, and transform into various forms to commit crimes. How will the case be solved?

"If you're worried as a police officer, there's no need to worry," Hongzi said at this time.

"Hmm?" Bai Shi looked like he wanted to know more.

"This is the natural world, and supernatural powers have their limits... For example, Kuroba-san's supernatural magic must have a 'self-consistent' technique and principle to make it close to nature, so that the 'illusion' can be effective, and...

"This will inevitably make him the person who believes most in nature... that is, the person who believes in what is now called 'science'. In other words, he must have the strongest confidence in himself and believe that 'my magic is unparalleled and no one can see through it' in order to achieve this.

“The so-called power of illusion only makes his magic easier to deceive other people’s senses.

"And the power of magic... is just the opposite. Magic users must never be as ostentatious as magicians. They can only use it perfectly when 'no one finds out' and 'there is an explanation afterwards'. Once discovered by others... the more people discover it, the more severe the backlash will be!"

Hongzi mentioned the limitation at this time, but when she stopped talking, Shiraishi immediately asked: "Hmm? What about evolution?"

"Evolution? Does evolution need other restrictions?" Hongzi asked as a matter of course.
