Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

"I do know about this; Mrs. Yoshida already told me. But what does this have to do with me? It seems the Metropolitan Police Department hasn't asked me to solve this case."

"If you're worried about Ayumi's safety, then you can rest assured, I won't let anything happen to her."

"Um...?" Conan said somewhat awkwardly, "Brother Akaso, I hope you won't interfere in this case and will let me help the police solve it."

huh?

What a strange request.

Chi Chufeng glanced at Conan, about to say something, when he suddenly saw the Grim Reaper elementary school student wiping away tears.

"Waaah, how could you do this? You stole Xiaolan from me and won't let me solve the case. I don't even want to live anymore. You don't need any more cases, why do you have to take them from me, a primary school student?"

Seeing Conan crying his eyes out, Akatsuka Kaze was speechless.

What are you talking about? Besides Ran Mouri and dozens of cases, what else have I taken from you?

It's like I'm bullying you.

You are Shinichi Kudo, you know.

It won't be long before they really start thinking of themselves as elementary school students.

But thinking about it, this guy spent far more time as a minor than as an adult.

They might have already gotten used to their child identity.

As Conan's crying grew louder and louder, Akatsuka Kaze looked utterly helpless.

"Alright, you can figure out the case yourself, but if Ayumi is in any danger, I'll step in."

"That's great, thank you, Brother Chichu."

Conan immediately stopped crying and started laughing, bowed, and ran out happily.

As soon as he stepped outside, a smug look immediately appeared on the kid's face.

A child's identity is really useful!

Back in his room, Nagara Haruka, who was waiting for him, suddenly knelt down.

"Lord Chichu, please accept me as your disciple."

huh?

Chi Chufeng's lips twitched involuntarily.

We spent the whole night together in the house yesterday, how come you're becoming my apprentice this morning?

Taking on a master is one thing, but you're still naked, kneeling and lying on the ground like that, it looks really... something.

It's making me a little sleepy again, and I want to go to sleep.

Nagara Haruka raised her head and looked at Akatsuki Kaze with her big, expressive eyes.

"Lord Chichu, if you accept me as your disciple, I am willing to serve you loyally. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never disobey your orders."

hiss!

Chi Chufeng couldn't help but gasp.

That price is really tempting.

Looking at Nagara Haruka's small, kneeling posture with his head tilted back, Akatsuka Kaze couldn't help but ponder.

As his fame grew, his firm became increasingly busy, and he became too lazy to take on many small commissions worth 20 million.

Haruka Nagara is able to manipulate magic, though not much, but it's still far stronger than that of an ordinary person.

Moreover, she was already a famous fortune teller, so taking her as a disciple would not only not damage his reputation, but would actually enhance it.

If anything happens in the future, the apprentice can be of service.

What's more, apprentice and master... doesn't that sound pretty cool?

"Alright! Since you're so sincere, I'll accept you as my disciple. Study hard, and I'll train you to become a true Onmyoji!"

"Thank you so much, Master!"

"Master, please lie down. To show my respect, let me give you a massage."

Having finally found a powerful backer, Nagara Haruka quickly employed various methods to serve his master.

An hour later, Chi Chufeng looked at his newly accepted disciple with satisfaction.

"Take it. Even as my disciple, you can't be without magical artifacts."

Chi Chufeng gave her two gold coins.

"This one is an offensive magic weapon, capable of unleashing attacks no less powerful than bullets."

"It requires magic to activate and willpower to guide it. With your current magic, you should be able to cast it twice."

Chi Chufeng opened the window and casually tossed a branch, about the thickness of a finger, to the ground a hundred meters away with a thud.

“This one contains a cursed mask, and I’ve added a prediction array to it.”

"With your magic, you should be able to hypnotize people with weak wills and predict events that are happening nearby or recently."

"However, using this gold coin requires a considerable amount of magic; with your abilities, you can probably only cast it once a week."

Chapter 449 Master, you are so kind…

"Master~ Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you if I went out with so little magic power? Please help me think of a way."

Nagara Haruka lay on Akatsuka Kaze, swaying affectionately.

Chi Chufeng smiled and pinched her small waist.

"We Onmyoji emphasize the balance of Yin and Yang. Oh, that's not what I'm talking about. I'll give you a few commissions. Once you have a soul, you'll have a source of magic power."

"The more commissions you complete, the more magic you will have."

"Master, you're so kind. Let me give you another massage."

Nagara Haruka smiled radiantly.

The next evening, Nagara Haruka went home, packed her things, and headed back.

As Chi Chufeng's female disciple, she naturally had to live with her master so that he could teach her by example.

Haruka Nagara didn't have much stuff, just one suitcase.

As I was walking along the path, I could vaguely hear a commotion ahead.

Nagara Haruka looked at 893 and saw that a large number of people had gathered there, and black smoke was billowing into the air.

She was taken aback when she saw this, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly walked towards that spot.

Master said that the place where a murder has just occurred is the easiest place to find a soul.

With a soul, there is a source of magic.

Although it's just a fire, who knows if someone deliberately set it on fire to harm people?

If they truly possessed souls, they could not only gain magical powers but also help the police solve cases and increase their fame.

This is a great opportunity to kill three birds with one stone.

Nagara Haruka walked to the back of the crowd and asked a girl who looked like a high school student, "Excuse me, is there something wrong here?"

"There was a fire here just now, and the firefighters had a hard time putting it out," the girl replied immediately.

"A fire?" Nagara Haruka asked in surprise, then hurriedly asked anxiously, "Could someone be trapped inside the fire...?"

"No! What was burned down was just an abandoned warehouse; nobody usually lives here."

The girl smiled slightly, then frowned and said, "However, I just heard the people in front of me say that this might have been done by that serial arsonist. I wonder if it's true."

"A serial arsonist?" Nagara Haruka blinked, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and pinched the gold coin hanging around his neck, sensing it.

She had the hypnotic and predictive gold coin chained and hung around her neck so she could use it as before.

Although she can only use it once a week, she can go home soon and replenish her magic power with her master.

A few seconds later, Nagara Haruka suddenly raised his head, looked in astonishment at the crowd in front of him, and began to breathe rapidly.

"No! There are human souls here, in that pile of ashes..."

Amidst the surprised gazes of the girls beside her, Nagara Haruka quickly squeezed into the crowd and walked forward.

Before long, she arrived at the front of the crowd and glanced at the banner that read "No Entry".

Then, his eyes looked at the collapsed warehouse ruins in front of him, his hand holding the gold coins and sensing them. Finally, his gaze fell on the largest pile of ashes, and his pupils contracted.

She turned slightly to the side and glanced over from the corner of her right eye.

There was a spatial eye that Chi Chufeng had fixed for her.

Nagara Haruka's eyes widened quickly.

That soul sat upright atop the pile of ashes!

Nagara Haruka glanced at the police officers who were still taking photos and collecting evidence, and couldn't help but remind the officer maintaining order: "Officer, there might be a body under that pile of ashes."

The policeman was slightly taken aback by what Kimishima Kana said, then chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Madam, what are you talking about? This is an abandoned warehouse, how could there be a corpse here?"
