Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 162 Extraordinary Gathering
When the elevator door opened, what came into view for the three people was a spacious underground space.

Although it is underground, the lighting and decoration are bright enough so it does not appear depressing. The load-bearing columns are decorated in the style of ancient buildings, carrying a sense of historical weight.

The entire underground space adopts a retro medieval style, giving people the feeling that it is a bit like the church of the Church of Fools that they saw not long ago.

The floor was paved with smooth old stone tiles, and the walls and ceiling were the same, with a surface decoration of various incomprehensible distorted patterns.

Beads of unknown material are irregularly inlaid on the walls and ceiling. They are of different sizes and emit a soft and bright light.

In the center of the end is a huge bronze door, standing there empty, attracting everyone's attention.

There are sturdy load-bearing columns every few meters, which serve as support and divide the underground space into different areas. Many people in black robes consciously divide up the areas and set up stalls to sell goods or provide some services whose functions are unknown.

It looks like a medieval farmers' market.

But what makes people feel divided is the flat panels set up a few meters apart. From time to time, someone would stop to operate on them for a while, and then a virtual panel would pop up above the bronze door, with various classified "goods" and "demands" arranged in an orderly manner.

"Want to buy any sacrificial process of Sequence 9 of the Orthodox Path. Depending on the situation, I can offer 100 pounds to 250 pounds. Those who can provide complete sacrifices will be given priority. The price of a complete set of sacrifices can be negotiated."

“Blood Velvet Flower Seeds for sale, 5 pounds per gram, Crimson Followers can enjoy a 8% discount.”

"Recruiting Beyonders from the Knower Path to participate in production. The minimum requirement is Sequence 8, and Sequence 7 is preferred. Remuneration: 2 soli per short firearm, 5 soli per long firearm, 10 pence per small tool, 15 pounds per large tool, and priority purchase of Moss Ascetic Order technology blueprints."

"Looking to buy reliable historical research results of the Quaternary Period. Price is negotiable."

"Any extraordinary person with the Witch Path who is willing to accept a custom alchemical doll order, please contact me privately. I'm looking for a specially designed doll for the Crown of the Angel for 150 pounds."

Kuroba Kaito walked up to one of the tablets and flipped through it casually, which made him a little dazzled.

And this world has officially revealed to them the tip of its extraordinary iceberg.

".It's really lively." Gin was reading through the large amount of information when Kogoro Mouri, who was standing next to him, was approached by someone.

"Is this your first time here?" The man was a bald man wearing a black robe with a pointy top. "I'm an old man here. You can just call me Satan."

This name made Kogoro Mori's eyes look a little strange.

How could someone come up with such a crude name?
Satan naturally saw through his thoughts, but he didn't care. "Every time we have a gathering, there are always more new people. This is also a good thing for the Extraordinary World. The more fresh blood there is, the faster it will develop, and resources will flow."

“Don’t be nervous.” He laughed. “Many green hands are like this when they first enter this world. They are suspicious on the left and afraid on the right, always worrying that other Beyonders are out to harm them.”

"Then why are you wearing this thing?" Kogoro Mouri looked at him sideways.

"What are you talking about?" Satan pulled at his black robe, "It's better than nothing."

"Logically speaking, this kind of Extraordinary gathering is actually an illegal assembly. After all, we are not like those official Extraordinary people who have a regular staff and can have the resources to feed them well."

"But the road can't be blocked after all. There are many people who become Extraordinary due to good luck. The church just turns a blind eye to this. We should also show some respect to them and symbolically block the way."

"I won't say much. When you see more, you will understand it yourself."

Satan patted Kogoro Mouri's shoulder, then walked to another tablet in front, flipped through it for a while, and started shouting.

"3 pounds per gram of vampire fangs? I've got a great bargain!"

He ran towards the transaction marked area in a hurry.

Maori Kogoro looked at his back thoughtfully. Suddenly, the party became agitated, and people rushed towards the central bronze door, which made the three people feel strange.

Soon, they realized what was happening.

The huge and heavy bronze door, which was clearly standing there without being connected to anywhere, slowly opened.

The emblem composed of a pupilless eye and twisted lines emitted a mysterious blue-grey light, and then a figure walked out of it.

He was wearing a black classical robe, a pointed hat of the same color, and had black curly hair and equally dark and deep eyes.

He has a broad forehead and high cheekbones, making his face look very thin.

As the bronze door opened, he landed lightly and gave a kind smile to the people in black robes.

"The angel of time has come down!"

"Praise you, Your Majesty the Angel of Time!"

The people attending the party seemed very excited, and the layered black robes became a surging wave.

The man who was called the angel of time simply stretched out his hand and made a pressure gesture, and the crowd immediately quieted down.

"Shh-"

The angel smiled and raised his index finger to his lips.

"I deliberately didn't wear my glasses today. The Time Angel of the Church of Fools is not aware of this extraordinary gathering."

People suddenly understood.

"Praise be to you, Mr. World!"

Mr. World nodded with satisfaction. Then he snapped his fingers and a bench appeared behind him. He sat down leisurely.

"I declare that the extraordinary gathering that takes place regularly every Saturday will continue as usual."

"You can come to me for notarization of sacrificial rituals related to the path. If you need knowledge about the occult, you can trade with me individually."

"Besides that, if you have any information about other secret organizations, I will buy it with the most generous reward." He chuckled.

".No restrictions on identity."

Without the need for maintenance or planning, people consciously create an order and gather obediently according to this order.

Everything stems from the pressure brought by the identity of the "world" of the angel in front of the bronze door above.

".Is this the reason why the Church of Fools doesn't open its doors on Saturdays?" Kuroba Kaito finally realized the status and orthodoxy of the so-called "Orthodox Church" of the Church of Fools.

Even "illegal gatherings" among the public are held with their tacit approval.

"One pound here is about 1 yen." Maori Kogoro simply converted the purchasing power. "It seems that the metaverse encourages us to 'earn' money in this world, rather than obtaining funds by carrying them with us in reality."
