The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

However, just as Jiang Hang was about to press on, his phone suddenly rang.

I picked up my phone and saw it was a call from Shiho Miyano.

It seems they finally woke up and saw the text messages he sent them.

As soon as the call connected, Shiho Miyano asked about the progress of the case and whether they needed to come and help.

Jiang Hang shook his head. Anyway, there was still plenty of time; he could investigate later.

"Someone sent a threatening letter to Governor Asakura. There aren't many leads yet. Inspector Megure and the others have already gone back. I estimate they'll head straight to Goryokaku soon. Don't worry, just come over when you've sorted things out."

Chapter 553: The Decisive Weapon to Turn the Tide of Battle?

Because of the snow, Wulingguo was rather deserted at this time.

When Jiang Hang arrived at Wulingguo, Shiho Miyano and the others had not yet arrived.

Therefore, Jiang Hang took advantage of the fact that no one was around and first used Eagle Vision to scan the surrounding area.

Then he discovered some trivial details that were completely insignificant, making it seem as if Wulingguo had no clues at all.

"Is this place just a reminder that it's related to the Star Prism Blade?"

Jiang Hang shook his head, thinking that Hei Yu Dao Yi wouldn't stoop to tricking his own son in such a place.

So, this place is indeed related to the Star Prism Blade?

Jiang Hang took out his phone and carefully examined the information about the Star Prism Blade that Hei Yu Dao Yi had sent him the night before.

There aren't many things inside that relate to the Goryeo (五棱郭), but if you look closely, you can indeed notice some issues.

The Star Prism Sword is a series of samurai swords crafted by a swordsmith named Higashiwa Eiryu after the completion of Goryokaku.

The other swords had different tsuba (handguards), but this one, the highest quality samurai sword, had its tsuba made by Higashiwa Eiryu exactly in the shape of the five-sided sword. In the Battle of Hakodate that year, Hijikata Toshizo personally used this samurai sword to kill more than a dozen assassins who came to kill him.

Jiang Hang didn't care much about the origins of the Shinsengumi in this world; his attention was focused on the introductions related to Goryokaku.

The tsuba (handguard) was made entirely based on the shape of the pentagonal hilt.

Is the intention to view the entire Wulingguo area as a shape, using it as the midpoint, and then searching for another coordinate system?

Muttering to himself, Jiang Hang turned his head and looked at a series of not-too-high mountain ranges in the distance.

That is Mount Hakodate, a tourist attraction comprised of more than ten peaks ranging from 100 to 300 meters in altitude.

It is also the place with the best view and highest altitude in Hakodate City.

Thanks to the local government's promotion, the night view of Mount Hakodate is also known as one of the world's three best night views.

Shiho Miyano and her friends originally planned to see what was so amazing about the world's most beautiful night view tonight.

"With my current eagle eyesight, I should be able to see quite a lot from the top of the mountain."

Hakodate is not Tokyo after all. Even though Mount Hakodate is only two or three hundred meters high, standing on it is enough to see most of the area of ​​Hakodate clearly.

Muttering to himself, Jiang Hang put away his phone and then waved to Kaito Kid, who was dressed as a passerby not far away.

"You came so late to investigate the problem your father left you? I thought you were already here waiting for me when I arrived."

Kaito Kid, who looked like a passerby, was no longer surprised.

Although Jiang Hang seemed to have noticed his arrival just before he looked up, it was precisely Jiang Hang's performance that made Kaito Kid think it was reasonable.

Jiang Hang has such outrageous eyesight and observation skills, otherwise how could he see through his disguise at a glance in such a large airport, even from a distance of hundreds of meters?

If he gets within ten meters of Jiang Hang and the other party doesn't react at all, then he should be worried that the Jiang Hang in front of him might be someone else in disguise.

After confirming Jiang Hang's authenticity in this way, Phantom Thief Kid waved at Jiang Hang.

"Ah, after getting off the plane yesterday, I thought about it and decided to go see Inspector Nakamori. I greeted him and explained that the gem was fake so that Inspector Nakamori and the others could go back and rest earlier, which took up a lot of time."

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "But Mr. Shinsho Ko is probably not so lucky."

He briefly explained the person he had impersonated on the plane yesterday.

Under Maki's instructions, the other party went to the villa in Hakodate in advance and even prepared a set of Kaito Kid's costume, seemingly wanting to prank Kaito Kid in this way.

Who knew that Officer Nakamori and Sonoko Suzuki were thinking the same thing, both believing that Kaito Kid would never give up so easily.

However, none of them expected that Phantom Thief Kid planned to make his move on the plane.

In short, last night Nakamori led another team to the vicinity of the Hakodate villa in an attempt to capture Phantom Thief Kid.

The result was that Kaito Kid disguised himself as Shinjo Isao, and Shinjo Isao disguised himself as Kaito Kid, resulting in an identity swap.

Especially after Officer Nakamori received intelligence that Shinjo Isao had already boarded the plane at Tokyo Airport.

Therefore, Inspector Nakamori became even more certain that this guy must be Kaito Kid.

Then they launched a surprise attack on Shinjo Kou, the imposter thief Kid.

As it turns out, the real Shinjō Kō probably lost his mind too.

When he saw a group of police officers coming to find him, he was probably worried that when Mu Shuli came over, he would be angry if he found out that he was not at the villa and had not acted according to their requirements. So, after being targeted by the police, his first reaction was to run away. He immediately drove off to try to escape the police pursuit.

It was just a matter of explaining it, and at most, spending some time at the police station could have resolved it.

Because of the other party's escape attempt, things suddenly became extraordinary.

Various police cars were mobilized to arrest Shinjo Isao, who was disguised as the Phantom Thief Kid.

Adding to the near-crash incident last night, the Hakodate Police Station was busy almost all night.

Currently, Maki is receiving treatment in the hospital, and it is unknown whether she will suffer any long-term effects.

Shinjo Ko, because of his perplexing escape attempt, will likely be detained in the detention center for ten days to half a month before being released.

If Kaito Kid hadn't actually gone over and drawn some fire last night, Shinjo Isao would have suffered even more losses.

"You're quite considerate to your father-in-law. I just wonder if he'll have a stroke on the spot if he finds out that you and your dad are Kaito Kid."

Jiang Hang casually made this comment.

Kaito Kid just scratched his head: "So we have to take care of that organization as soon as possible. After we take care of that organization and avenge my father, the identity of Kaito Kid will probably be coming to an end."

He looked at Jiang Hang, seemingly wanting to get some information about the organization from him.

After all, the Pioneer Foundation behind them is said to have considerable intelligence capabilities.

Jiang Hang must have heard of organizations at this level.

"I haven't really paid much attention to that organization of yours, but there's one thing I can guarantee," Jiang Hang said, then held up one finger.

"That means the 'Pandora' gem is real. In our foundation, we usually call these items with special powers 'Pieces of Eden' or 'Eden artifacts,' and each Piece of Eden has unimaginable power."

As Jiang Hang looked at Kaito Kid, he casually recounted some of the settings from Assassin's Creed.

Since his father has already joined the Assassin Brotherhood, it's not a problem for his son, Kaito Kuroba, to also get some exposure to these things beforehand.

Listening to Jiang Hang's description, Phantom Thief Kid looked somewhat confused and doubtful.

The fact that Pandora, a gemstone that can grant immortality, is already beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It was also at his school that he met a witch in his class who practiced magic. He had personally witnessed her using some simple magic. Coupled with the organization's obsession with the Pandora Gem, this led him to decide to continue as the Phantom Thief Kid to stop the organization and prevent this power of immortality from falling into the hands of evil people.

As it turns out, Jiang Hang tells him that there are actually many items in this world with magical effects, collectively known as Eden Pieces or Eden Artifacts. These are items that have been passed down from ancient times and may possess even more mysterious and powerful abilities.

The golden apple that controls people's hearts, the shroud that can heal wounds, the sword that grants strength and leadership...

Although these amazing items are not recorded in human history, history is often changed because of them.

"Are you kidding me?" Phantom Thief Kid frowned, feeling that the world was far too complicated.

Jiang Hang shrugged: "When you find Pandora, you'll know if what I said is true or not. Or maybe next time I have the chance, I'll try to get an Eden artifact from the Foundation to open your eyes."

But the next moment, as if he had just realized something, Phantom Thief Kid asked Jiang Hang, "The Eden Fragments you mentioned, do they all possess the power to change the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure and overall situation)?"

Jiang Hang blinked, then nodded.

"However, it also depends on what kind of fragment it is. If it's just about immortality, it's actually very difficult for one person to change the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both overall situation and overall structure). Moreover, immortality obtained in this way is not as stable as you think. Although it can give you a long lifespan, even enough to live from the pre-Christian era to the present day, once you lose the Eden fragment, you will lose the ability to live forever and age and die rapidly in a short period of time."

Kaito Kid still didn't quite believe Jiang Hang's words, but the clues his father left him and the things he investigated on his own made him somewhat sensitive to the phrase "changing the world order".

He took a few breaths and, after thinking for a while, decided that he should tell Jiang Hang.

At least for now, Jianghang is still quite trustworthy.

"According to my investigation, more than half a century ago, a military supplier in Hakodate acquired a 'decisive weapon' that was enough to change the world order, but he was tired of war and eventually decided to seal this 'decisive weapon' away forever."

"And the Goryokaku, along with a katana from the Shinsengumi era, are the most crucial keys to the treasure trove."

“My father investigated to this point back then, but it seems that nothing came of it after that. So I want to find the whereabouts of that treasure and see if I can find any clues related to my father in the process.”

Chapter 554: Shiho Miyano's Black Technology Research Institute

At this point, Phantom Thief Kid naturally had nothing left to hide from Jiang Hang.

He briefly explained the affairs of the Axe River Consortium, Wuling Guo, and Xingling Dao.

"So, you think that the so-called 'treasure' that Saburō Akawa found back then might be the 'Eden Artifact' I just mentioned to you?"

Jiang Hang looked at the Phantom Thief Kid in front of him and was surprised by the guy's strong associative abilities.

He just casually mentioned a few points about the setting, and the other party was able to associate the "treasure" related to the Star Prism Blade with the artifacts of Eden.

To be honest, Jiang Hang was really curious about what exactly Sasaburo Axe had discovered back then. Even though the United States had already deployed its legendary duo, he still thought he could turn the tide of the war with this so-called "treasure."

Could it really be some kind of Eden artifact?

Jiang Hang thought about it again.

Ever since the system brought him to the wrong world, to this world that has nothing to do with Assassin's Creed, I don't know what it's been up to.

First, they created the Precursor Foundation, modeled after the Assassin Brotherhood, and then they kept adding new elements to the foundation, including the Templars.

Heaven knows why, even though the system clearly stated that it no longer had the energy to travel between worlds, it could still stir up the timeline in this world and directly modify the course of history from the very root of this world.

Jiang Hang also secretly asked the system guy in private if he had any reason for planning to transform this world into the world of Assassin's Creed.

But when Jiang Hang asked questions, the system always acted as if to say, "You don't need to understand. Everything is under the control of this system. You just need to complete the mission and become the most famous detective in the world."

All I can say is that the system in his head is as stubborn as ever in this regard.

Even though everyone has been together for almost half a year, the system has created a bunch of Templar Knights who can beat up the boss of the brewery, and at some point secretly kidnapped Kuroba Touichi and trained him into an assassin master who is almost invincible except for not having Hawkeye.
