The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

"Haha, you don't need to worry about these settings so much. Anyway, the real Brotherhood and the Templars have long since died out. Times are changing, and old ideas can't be applied forever."

"Historically, both the Templars and the Assassin Brotherhood have experienced disasters due to their excessive extremism when they were in power."

"Excessive order can stifle human thought, while excessive freedom can lead humanity into an abyss. The Pioneer Foundation has balanced these two extreme ideas. Now we emphasize looking at the world with a dialectical materialist perspective, and we have completely broken away from the past."

Jiang Hang casually added some settings to his background.

Anyway, he believed that with the system around, the system would handle all the background stories for him.

"However, the Brotherhood and the Templars have both made quite a stir in the past. So, although we at the Forerunners Foundation no longer adhere to these terms internally, some organizations and forces outside who know about them still use these two names to refer to us, in accordance with our Foundation's style. To avoid trouble or arouse suspicion, we generally do not refute these names."

"All you need to know is that, in some people's eyes, I am the heir to the Brotherhood, an assassin who upholds free will and the Assassin's Creed, while in others' eyes, I am a Templar Knight who maintains world order, and I am adept at saying one thing to one person and another to another."

Well, this feeling of being the mastermind behind everything is getting stronger and stronger.

Jiang Hang really wanted to be a behind-the-scenes boss, but unfortunately he only had a few people under his command, so he had to do everything himself.

Aside from the fact that the backdrop was indeed large enough, there was absolutely no sense of a behind-the-scenes big boss.

However, the two girls did indeed have complete trust in Jiang Hang.

After all, a person's character isn't something they say they know, but rather something you can discern from their everyday behavior.

Even after hearing such a long and mysterious story, the two girls still couldn't believe that Jiang Hang, a guy who usually stayed in his room playing games and watching anime and would secretly go to an all-girls school to watch high school idol groups dance, was a big boss.

If Jiang Hang's entire act was a facade, then Shizuka Sakaki thinks even Aizen from Bleach would have to offer Jiang Hang a cup of tea.

But Shizuka Sakaki was still a little curious about why Jiang Hang came to Japan and why he chose to become a detective.

"Coming to Japan was definitely not my idea. I was just staying at home when I was suddenly thrown here."

"As for the detective, it's a bit of a coincidence, actually."

What motivated you to become a detective?

If Jiang Hang had been asked this question before, he really wouldn't have known how to answer it.

What do you care about junior high school? I'm going to be a detective, so why should I go to junior high school?

It can't just be that his system brother sent him to the wrong world, then stubbornly refused to back down, forcibly turning himself from an assassin system into a half-crippled detective system, and then using generous rewards to force Jiang Hang, who was helpless in this world, to bow down to money, so naturally he became a detective, right?

But now, it's only natural for him to patch up his behavior.

"In short, Conan's uncle, who is also Kaito Kid's father, offended someone who was not easy to deal with back then. In the end, he was protected by our foundation and is now considered one of our foundation's employees."

“Before I was thrown to Japan, he came to me and asked me to take care of his son and nephew.”

"Then I came to Japan and saw a high school student who became a famous detective. He inherited his father's identity as Phantom Thief Kid. And then, the famous detective was actually ambushed while solving a case and was forced to take some weird drugs and turned into a child."

"Seeing his reckless manner, as if he was afraid others wouldn't suspect him, I had no choice but to become a detective for his uncle's sake, so that they would know that there are always people more capable than you. Anyway, the foundation didn't have any demands on me, and they were quick to pay me."

"Over the years, our foundation has preserved many skills."

"Assassination, stealth, disguise, and finding loopholes in the rules are the skills of an assassin."

"And these techniques are surprisingly useful in the detective industry, as I think you can attest to."

"Of course, it's not just these techniques. There are also some skills from the genetic level, such as the Leap of Faith and Eagle Eye. You've all seen them before. You can't learn these, but I'll find a way to let you experience them in the future."

"In short, solving cases is also helpful for maintaining my own state of mind and can satisfy my spiritual needs, so I have been doing it until now."

Jiang Hang continued to reveal secrets to the two girls, leaving them speechless with astonishment.

They seemed to have finally gained a deeper understanding of Jiang Hang's experiences.

But these experiences seem even more bizarre.

They originally thought that Jiang Hang's choice to become a detective had some other, more crucial influence.

After all, it's quite strange that Jiang Hang, the heir to a foundation, is so adept at the detective profession.

Unexpectedly, it was because the assassin skills he learned were highly compatible with the detective profession, and he was commissioned by someone to become a detective.

"Actually, it's quite normal. You all probably know Sherlock Holmes, right? In fact, historically, Sherlock Holmes was based on an assassin from the Industrial Revolution era, so it's true that an assassin turning into a detective is quite a promising career path."

Such a long string of revelations is a bit overwhelming.

However, Shizuka Sakaki realized that Jiang Hang had just mentioned an even more explosive piece of news.

"Wait a minute, according to Jiang Hang, the famous detective Shinichi Kudo and that Phantom Thief Kid are cousins?"

To be honest, compared to the increasingly mysterious Pioneer Foundation, the two girls actually felt more grounded in the fact that Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kid were cousins.

After all, one was once Tokyo's most popular high school detective, and the other is a super phantom thief who has never failed since his debut.

They even seemed to have faced off once, with Shinichi Kudo solving the mystery in the end, but Kaito Kid managed to escape successfully.

Could it be that the so-called showdown was also staged by the two brothers themselves?

"When their fathers were young, one lived with his father and the other with his mother. Shinichi Kudo himself probably doesn't even know he has a cousin. It's just that they do look exactly alike. I'll take you guys to a real-life Phantom Thief Kid movie sometime in the future."

Chapter 531: Chapter 527: Shizuka Sakaki's Complex Thoughts

Neither of the two girls were particularly interested in going to the real-life Phantom Thief Kid event.

Perhaps in other contexts, Kaito Kid would be a master thief who has roamed the world for twenty years, leaving the police with nowhere to hide; a white-clad magician under the moon; the world's most famous phantom thief.

But for Jiang Hang and the two girls beside him, Phantom Thief Kid has not gained any benefits from them in the past six months.

Both girls previously felt that Jiang Hang could always see through the other person's disguise in advance. If he really wanted to capture Phantom Thief Kid, he probably would have had countless opportunities at that time.

After all, Phantom Thief Kid has relied on a variety of bizarre gadgets that he "didn't know where he got them" for so many years, but more importantly, he relies on his superb disguise skills and exquisite magic tricks.

But all of this was a blank slate in front of Jiang Hang.

No amount of trickery or disguise could fool Jiang Hang's amazing eyes.

In the props competition, Jiang Hang's own props, plus those he obtained from Professor Agasa, were almost on par with those of Kaito Kid.

Now they finally know the reason.

According to Jiang Hang, the father of Phantom Thief Kid, the first Phantom Thief Kid, was the genius magician Kuroba Toichi, the one who chose to be killed by his own disciple in the magician murder case not long ago. Kuroba Toichi was the mountain that Tsukumo Motoyasu had been obsessed with all his life but could never cross.

The reason why Kaito Kid steals all sorts of jewels now, and then goes through all the trouble of sending notices and returning them after the theft, is because eight years ago, Toichi Kuroba encountered another mysterious criminal organization and was targeted by them in order to stop their conspiracy.

At this moment, Phantom Thief Kid is unaware that his father was rescued. He only knows about the organization from back then and that their goal was to find a mysterious gem that could grant immortality.

He used this high-profile approach to lure out the members of that organization.

It turns out that from the beginning, Jiang Hang never intended to capture Phantom Thief Kid. He just wanted to teach his two cousins ​​a lesson, to let them know that their skills weren't that impressive in this world, and to teach them to be more low-key in their daily lives.

Listening to the equally fantastical storyline told by Phantom Thief Kid, the two girls couldn't help but show confused expressions.

Jiang Hang really didn't make up this story to fool them, did he?

A magical pill that, once ingested, can make you young again.

The Brotherhood, which has existed for thousands of years, joined forces with the Knights Templar to pursue a materialist path.

Now a mysterious organization has emerged, and its goal is to find a gem that can grant immortality.

Is this still the world they've lived in for the past twenty years?

But seeing that Jiang Hang didn't seem to be lying, Muchun Yuno couldn't help but continue asking questions.

"So, are there really gemstones in the world that can grant immortality?"

The set of Phantom Thief Kid's place is shrouded in mystery, and there's even a witch present.

Conan's side seems quite normal, but their fighting abilities are all outrageous.

If Jiang Hang hadn't won the Bajiquan from the heroic spirit Li Shuwen in a lottery, he wouldn't have dared to say he could easily defeat someone like Kyogoku Makoto who could shatter cement pillars with his bare hands.

Then, whether it's Kaito Kid or Conan, they both have characters from another series, the Sword and Hero Legend, with even more explosive combat power, making cameo appearances.

To be honest, because the system in this world manipulates the timeline at will with unimaginable means, Jiang Hang really suspects that these guys might also have an ancient bloodline of the Ishu people in their bodies.

Therefore, Jiang Hang simply shrugged.

"Although you may not believe it, this world is just that amazing. After all, my Hawkeye can indeed see many things that ordinary people cannot see. It is abnormal to awaken such power because of the genes in one's body."

"Human technology is now advanced enough to develop drugs that can reverse aging, and according to our foundation's investigation, there are indeed things in this world with mysterious powers, which we used to call Eden Artifacts."

"However, those things have either been lost in history or have been damaged. Perhaps some of them are still kept in our foundation, but that's not something I, as the young heir, can know right now. I guess I'll only know these things when I fully inherit the foundation."

"Of course, you shouldn't talk about these things casually. After all, neither Conan nor Hattori knows about this yet. It's just that Miyano, no, you used to call her Ai, the two sisters know a little bit, but in order to prevent it from affecting their worldview, I haven't told them everything about the Black Organization yet."

"I'll find another opportunity to tell them about these things later, but for now, you're the first to know. See, I'm still a person of my word. I said I'd tell you these things, and I basically told you everything. So, you two will have to shoulder more responsibilities from now on. Of course, your salaries and wages can also be increased quite a bit."

After saying all this, Jiang Hang felt much more relaxed.

To be honest, although he was good at keeping secrets, he sometimes found it troublesome to have to pretend in front of those people.

He didn't know how long he would stay in this world, nor how long Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Koharu would be his assistants.

Knowing too much about them would actually bring them a lot of danger, so I have never told them these things.

But now that he's settled down in this world, as long as he doesn't get too arrogant, the big shots behind the scenes will at least give him some face as a background character.

Moreover, judging from the system's actions, it has already begun to reverse-engineer this world, so it's estimated that it can stay in this world for a long time.

Over the past six months, both girls have matured and gained a certain level of self-protection ability.

Now that he's telling these two girls, whom he's known for half a year and who have been completely influenced by him and can't and won't go back to their original paths, he won't need to keep these things from them at his firm anymore.

After hearing Jiang Hang's "showdown," especially after hearing him say "only you two know this now," they couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

So Jiang Hang trusts them that much?

Shizuka Sakaki was still a little uneasy.

Because her voice acting career over the years hasn't been very smooth, she's not exactly a very confident person.

Her current confidence is almost entirely due to Jiang Hang.

After spending half a year, she finally felt that she was gradually becoming more and more outstanding. But then she heard so many incredible secrets from Jiang Hang, and suddenly she felt a little insecure again.

She didn't know if she could live up to Jiang Hang's trust.

Compared to Shizuka Sakaki's inner turmoil and complex thoughts, Yuno Koharu's thoughts were much simpler.

Having lived in Tokyo for so many years, she still hasn't found the meaning of her life.

Jiang Hang gave her a turning point in her life, making her "special".

After six months of experience, she has fully adapted to her current life, met a lot of important people that she would never have dared to meet in the past, and experienced many major events that she can talk about with great enthusiasm with her family.
