Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 194 There are gaps among extraordinary people

Tingen, old town.

Suzuki Sonoko stepped on the protruding bricks on the curb, with her hands stretched out to maintain balance, as if she was walking on a single-plank bridge.

"In fact, the role-playing method is quite simple to practice. It is not as difficult as Luo Shan said, that it would take one or two months to complete the role-playing."

The progress of digesting the spiritual energy she had acquired was very impressive. She had digested nearly one third of it in just one week.

Kyogoku Makoto was behind him, silently touching the equipment that Suzuki Sonoko had bought for him not long ago.

These include but are not limited to two pistols that can fire chemical bullets and alchemical bullets respectively, a dagger engraved with runes, several magic scrolls, and even holy water that has special effects against evil spirits after being blessed by Lilith.

There were several grenades hanging around his waist.

Some of these were purchased at a discount from the official channel of the Scarlet Church Lantern Bearer, while others were purchased at a premium at the direct sales store of the Church of the Knower.

This outfit cost him over 1,200 pounds, which is nearly 600,000 yen, with magic scrolls accounting for the bulk of the cost.

"As an apprentice, you have to pay tuition while you learn." Suzuki Sonoko's understanding is simple and straightforward. "As long as I spend money, my performance progress will naturally improve."

She turned back playfully and took out a bank card from her pocket: "For this, I also brought the bank card that Uncle Jiroji gave me."

Kyogoku Maki scowled.

In his opinion, an "apprentice" should use diligence and sweat to improve step by step to be considered successful in acting. However, after a week, his acting progress only increased by less than one-tenth.

Perhaps Ms. Suzuki is right.

This also made Kyogoku Makoto doubt his life.

For Suzuki Sonoko, a mere 600,000 is nothing. What limits her advancement is not that she doesn't have enough money, but that she can't spend it.

She had originally planned to buy some talismans like the one Dunn threw when he saved them. The strength of the talismans that could melt ordinary evil spirits once thrown out made her really envious.

But after asking, I found out that this kind of spell can only be made by a Sequence 7 alchemist, and it requires at least a Sequence 8 level of chanting to trigger it.

She had no choice but to give up and choose equipment that was far inferior in effect.

The role-playing cannot be promoted simply by spending money. The role-playing of "apprentice" requires "effective spending", that is, spending money on things that can really strengthen oneself.

A talisman like this that cannot be used will not advance the digestion process even if you buy it.

Suzuki Sonoko had originally planned to rely on magic scrolls, which were a big spender, to gain points, but after trying, she discovered that repeated scroll types did not advance progress.

This made her angry for a long time.

"Really?" she sighed, and suddenly saw a suspicious shadow in a black robe walking around the corner not far away.

"Ah Zhen!" She suddenly screamed and patted Kyogoku Zhen's shoulder, "A suspicious person was found!"

"Chase!" She excitedly pulled Kyogoku Makoto and ran over, eager to test out her extraordinary abilities immediately.

After being promoted to Sequence 9, he had been slacking off at the Red Rose Security Company, playing cards and chatting with Luo Shan and the others.

Then at night, he would follow Dunn, wearing a red cloak and holding a lantern, to patrol the streets.

But I haven't seen any evil spirits these days.

According to Dunn, the reason why they have been patrolling the streets intensively during this period is that the frequency of evil spirits appearing has increased recently. They suspect that there is an evil Beyonder plotting something in the dark.

However, after a few simple screenings using the divination scroll, there were no results.

According to Dunn's judgment, either this was just some strange phenomenon that caused the surge of evil spirits, or the sequence of that extraordinary person was not low, and he also had the means to resist divination.

If it's the latter, then there could be big trouble.

However, it is still unclear whether this is the case, so the Scarlet Church did not ask for help from other Orthodox churches.

After all, this is somewhat embarrassing.

However, if it is confirmed that there is a Beyonder of a high Sequence who is plotting something behind the scenes, then it is not a question of face. Currently, the Scarlet Church has no high-sequence leader. For the safety of the people, it must choose to seek help from the other two Orthodox Churches.

This is also the reason why Suzuki Sonoko was so excited when she saw the suspicious person.

But she seemed to have forgotten one thing.
That is, if there really is an evil Beyonder, with the abilities of two Sequence 9s, can they really go up and fight him head-on?
The black shadow seemed to notice the two people chasing behind him and instantly sped up. At the same time, he turned around and reached out to them. It was unknown what he did.

"Ms. Suzuki, my gun is missing!" Kyogoku Makoto keenly noticed that the alchemical pistol in the gun bag on his waist had disappeared, and reminded her.

"Use the scroll!"

Suzuki Sonoko pulled out a thin, long silk stick from her pocket, and without even opening it, she chanted a spell loudly: "Slow!"

The scroll turned into a stream of magic light and shot forward, quickly hitting the black shadow, and his speed suddenly slowed down by half.

"Hehe, this is a high-level scroll that I bought at a huge price, and it comes with the function of automatic enemy detection!" Suzuki Sonoko was quite proud.

Kyogoku Makoto rushed forward suddenly, and the distance between him and the black shadow narrowed again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the black shadow did something else.

Kyogoku Makoto had a bad feeling in his spirit, and then he felt a chill in his upper body.

whoosh-

His clothes were gone.

Suddenly, there was a warm shirt in the black shadow's hand.

"."

The black shadow cursed under his breath, then raised his hands above his head and shouted, "I surrender!" The familiar voice startled Suzuki Sonoko, who had caught up lately.

She walked forward and lifted the robe of the man in black robe, then saw a long face with a small mustache.

"Why is it you, an uncle? I thought you were the mastermind!" Suzuki Sonoko was extremely disappointed.

Kogoro Mouri chuckled and returned the shirt he had stolen by "taking advantage of the situation" to Kyogoku Makoto.

"I am wanted now, so I can't see anyone."

"Wanted?" Suzuki Sonoko was curious, "What did you do to be wanted?"

"Nothing, just a little blasphemy."

"What?!" Suzuki Sonoko looked at him in shock.

This uncle really knows how to make things happen.

"I didn't want to do that, but I was tricked by a brat!" Kogoro Mouri got furious when he thought of Kuroba Kaito's face that looked like Kudo Shinichi. This face was naturally incompatible with him!
Suzuki Sonoko looked at him for a while.

"Tell me, can I capture you and claim the reward?"

"Miss, we don't have any grudges against each other, right?" said Kogoro Mouri with a sad face.

"That's not necessarily true." Suzuki Sonoko muttered softly.

"Forget it. For Xiaolan's sake, I won't make it difficult for you."

Kyogoku Makoto, who was standing by, felt quite amazed when he saw the shirt return to his body in an instant.

"What's wrong with you?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at Maori Kogoro suspiciously. She had seen how this uncle just took things from the air. "You've become a Beyonder and are wanted by the Orthodox Church. Could it be that you believe in some evil god?"

".Don't ask that."

Speaking of it, Kogoro Mouri feels like crying. It would be fine if he really did it, but the key point is that he didn't join the Aurora Society!

Now he was like a rat crossing the street, and he even dared not show up in the urban area. The urban area was the territory of the Church of Fools, and those residents were all believers of the Church of Fools. They had already paid attention to the wanted notice, and as soon as he showed up, large numbers of passers-by would come to surround him.

He finally regretted his decision and wanted to go back to look for the fortune teller, but he didn't know how to find the underground passage. He couldn't stay there any longer, so he picked up a black robe from the garbage dump to cover his body and barely ran to the old town.

Although according to Kuroba Kaito, there are many Fool followers here, it is still the territory of the Scarlet Church after all, so it should be better.

In the end, he was caught.

No one knew how frightened he was when facing Kyogoku Makoto’s powerful punch just now. The extreme feeling of oppression even seemed to alarm him!

If I get hit by this punch, I might really die!!
He then immediately gave up resistance and surrendered.

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it." Suzuki Sonoko didn't have Conan's curiosity to get to the bottom of things, so she kindly reminded him, "But it's better if you don't hang around here."

"It's been a bit uneasy here lately. There's a suspected mid-sequence Beyonder causing trouble. If our captain catches you and mistakes you for that Beyonder, he won't be as easy to deal with as the two of us."

"Captain?" Kogoro Mouri caught hold of this term and realized something.

Suzuki Sonoko proudly put her hands on her hips and displayed the holy emblem of the Crimson Church.

"A member of the Lantern Bearer Team in Tingen City, Ahowa County, Loen Kingdom, an absolutely orthodox official Beyonder!"

She also said something that really irritated Maori Kogoro: "They are completely different from the unknown evil god believers on the street."

"I'd better continue wandering." Kogoro Mouri put on his black robe again and walked away dejectedly.

Before leaving, he looked around vigilantly, just like a mouse.

Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.

After bidding farewell to these two enviable official extraordinary persons, Kogoro Maori returned to his own struggle and wandering.

"Fire is the last hope"

"It's really getting to the end. I can't see any hope."

He complained about the superstitious playing rules of his own series and was full of pessimism about his extraordinary future.

High temperature resistance that is totally useless, "taking advantage" that depends entirely on your appearance, and affinity that is better than nothing
How can there be such a weak path? !

He thought again of the methods used by those two men just now. They could cast magic just by shouting from a distance, and they had a lot of good equipment on them.

Kogoro Maori now understands what Satan said at the extraordinary gathering.

The official Beyonder resources are just great!
He obviously didn't understand that it was not the official Beyonders who were powerful, but Suzuki Sonoko's "money ability".

But he was not completely without gains.

Kogoro Mori looked around with a sly look, then pulled out a heavy pistol that was shining with a cold light from his robe.

He skillfully removed the magazine and counted it; it was full of 24 bullets.

There was another bullet pressed into the chamber.

There were 25 rounds in total, more than enough for him to protect himself.

Neither Suzuki Sonoko nor Kyogoku Makoto noticed that although he ended the effect of "borrowing momentum" and returned the borrowed items, he quietly took the gun away later.

Anyway, they have so much equipment, so they don’t need a gun like this. And it is such a weapon that can transform me, Kogoro Mori!
Kogoro Mori, who was unable to enter or leave the weapons store because of the bounty, couldn't help but burst into tears.
