Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Hattori led the two to stroll around several famous tourist attractions in Osaka until dark, before leisurely returning to the museum to help keep watch over Kid and protect the Egg of Memories.

As they walked, Conan and Hattori suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that the time and place in Kid's announcement were not what Kogoro Mouri had interpreted. After saying that, one of them rode a scooter and the other rode a motorcycle, speeding towards Tsutenkaku.

Chu Ming was left alone, watching the two men walk away, speechless.

Luckily, he had prepared the props in advance, otherwise he would have been stuck watching them run away. Chu Ming tapped his shoes on the ground, which popped out a pair of pulleys. Then he pressed the switch, and a burst of force sent the pulleys gliding forward.

I felt the wind passing by, and even my pockets were vibrating... Hmm? My pockets?

Chu Ming quickly pulled out his constantly vibrating phone—it was Gin calling.

What does Gin want with him? He wouldn't be asking him to do some work, would he?

"Big brother, what's wrong? Is there a mission?"

"It's not a mission, do you know Scorpion?" Gin immediately realized that they were on a mission. Chu Ming could clearly hear the Porsche's engine sound; it was obvious that the vodka was driving very fast, afraid that the traffic police would see him.

"Scorpion... Brother, you're not talking about that assassin who specializes in collecting Romanov dynasty artifacts and treasures, and who habitually shoots his targets in the right eye, are you?"

“That’s right. His identity is a mystery. The ICPO has been chasing him for a long time but hasn’t been able to find him. Previously, the organization used a set of royal jewels from the Romanov dynasty to transport medicine, but he intercepted it en route. The intelligence team is also useless; they can’t find any intelligence. You should keep an eye on things recently.”

Chu Ming raised an eyebrow, his left hand tucked into his pocket as he rubbed the fortune slip he'd found that afternoon. He couldn't help but take a different look at these mystical things in the world of Detective Conan. It seemed they were actually quite accurate! Maybe he should come and draw a fortune slip every day next time?

"Scorpion, I think I know a few clues. The Suzuki Group is holding an exhibition on the Egg of Memories today, and a lady from the Suzuki Group invited me to visit. This Egg of Memories was given to Empress Maria by Alexander III and belongs to the Romanov dynasty, so Scorpion will definitely be there. I might even run into him. If I catch him, should I bring him back to the organization?"

"The organization's lost jewelry is a round pearl pendant with a hollow center. The organization's drugs are inside. It can't be opened without skill. He probably hasn't discovered what's inside yet. Once we get the pendant, we'll kill him. How can someone who dares to touch the organization's things not pay a price?" Gin said menacingly.

"Okay, don't worry, big brother. I'll definitely find Scorpion before the intelligence team."

After all, he had just met Ms. Pu Siqinglan in the Suzuki Group's reception room, the one who, in the original work, referred to the perfectly good Sonoko Suzuki as Suzuki Meatball and even boasted of being fluent in Chinese...

Chapter 292 My Name—Lucifer

Just as he was deep in thought, the surroundings suddenly plunged into darkness. All the neon lights, streetlights, and lights shining from the windows of shops along the street went out in an instant.

"The power's out? No, it must be Kidd getting into trouble again."

How many years do you get imprisoned for destroying a power substation?

Chu Ming found a tall building nearby and climbed up. Standing on the rooftop, he looked around. Some of the surrounding hospitals and restaurants had already lit up again, and only a small warehouse two streets ahead had quietly turned on its lights. Chu Ming could clearly see that Officer Nakamori and two other policemen were sitting at a table inside, staring at the box on the table.

He also wants an egg worth 800 million...

Suddenly, I feel envious of Sonoko Suzuki, who treats 800 million yen like a toy to be tossed around casually. Even though she now has a golden house worth hundreds of billions of yen, I still feel envious.

Chu Ming recently spent a huge amount of points in the mall to buy a pair of realistic wings. Normally, they can be folded into a long black trench coat. When the mechanism is pressed, they can be extended instantly to reveal a pair of black wings. They are warm to the touch, and when flapped, they can carry Chu Ming into the sky. He can also control the direction flexibly. From a distance, they look like fallen angels from Western mythology.

在商城刷出来这个仿真翅膀的一瞬间楚明就狠狠爱上了这对翅膀，他当即就拍板决定了，哪怕格斗不升级，哪怕再被琴酒多揍几次，他也要把这对翅膀带回家。

He wants to go to heaven!!!

Who could resist growing wings and flying into the sky?!

Oh, except for Kogoro Mouri.

Once he put on the wings, he couldn't use this face anymore. Chu Ming spent some points to create a more Western-looking face for himself, and even added a black devil horn to his head.

Chu Ming flew lightly in the sky, enjoying the joy of flying freely. He flapped his wings and hovered in the air. He looked down and saw Hattori, who was trying to look up to confirm Kid's direction. He didn't have time to brake and was hit by a large truck, sending him flying. Conan completed a difficult spin and skateboard switch in the air.

Watching Hattori roll around on the ground a few times, Chu Ming couldn't help but click his tongue. This was the difference between cannon fodder and the main characters. The last one, Sawaki Kohei, who fell like this, lost his sense of taste and even made a movie to take revenge on society. But Hattori was fine, with just a few scratches.

And so, Kid flew through the sky with the Egg of Memories, Conan chased after him on his skateboard below, and Chu Ming flew high above him.

Just as a red dot slowly landed on Kidd's right eye, Chu Ming watched as Kidd quickly tilted his head. The bullet merely grazed his monocle, striking his glider and a pigeon.

The unbalanced hang glider carried Kidd straight into the sea. Clinging to the glider, Kidd struggled to maintain his balance. As he was about to make intimate contact with the fish in the sea, he painfully closed his eyes, trying to escape the reality.

Suddenly, Kidd felt his descent slow down, and the whooshing sound of the wind in his ears grew louder, as if he were rising.

He opened his eyes and, sure enough, his hang glider was being held by someone, and was now flying away at high speed into the distance.

Was he caught by a police helicopter?

Kidd looked up and was instantly stunned.

The man carrying him was a demon with devil horns on his head and huge black wings on his back. His scarlet eyes were staring coldly at him.

Kidd froze in shock. A demon? Demons really exist? He must have just fallen into the sea and knocked himself unconscious; he's probably dreaming right now.

Kidd nodded, closed his eyes, and secretly pinched himself, trying to wake himself up quickly.

When he opened his eyes again, his environment had not changed; he was still in mid-air.

If it weren't for maintaining Kaito Kid's cool image, Kaito would have already screamed for help. He'd heard that demons like to eat people's souls, and he was worried that this demon would take him to its lair and drain his soul!

Grandpa Terai, weren't you supposed to be here to help me?! Help!!!

Having moved away from Conan's detection range, Chu Ming gradually descended, placed Kid on the ground, and folded his wings.

Kidd watched as the enormous wings vanished in the blink of an eye, then relaxed slightly after his feet touched solid ground. Boldly, he reached out and touched Chu Ming's shoulder blade: "Did you retract your wings? Why didn't your clothes tear when the wings retracted? Did they turn into this trench coat?"

Chu Ming looked at him indifferently: "Your flesh smells delicious, and your soul is bright. I like it very much."

Help! There's a pervert!

Kidd took a big step back, threw a smoke grenade, and disappeared from the spot.

Goodbye, I'm off now.

Once the smoke cleared, Chu Ming, using the system's focus, turned around and stood by a wall, staring at the seemingly empty wall.

"I can smell the fragrance emanating from your soul, stop hiding." With a large influx of emotional points converted into credits, Chu Ming reached out and pulled off Kidd's invisibility cloth, which had never failed him.

Kidd pressed himself tightly against the wall, his youthful face, now exposed by the blow of his monocle, desperately trying to maintain composure, his mind filled with the thought of 'poker face, poker face, poker face, I must keep poker face.'

"This is too difficult, Dad! You didn't tell me how to keep a poker face when you encounter a demon!!!"

"The boy in white proclaimed to the world from the city's highest point, with no one around, only the moonlight and city lights cheering for you. At that moment, your soul shone brightly, dazzlingly." Chu Ming murmured in praise, extending his slender, fair fingers, but with black spikes at the tips, and lightly touched Kidd's brow. The spikes almost pierced the boy's skin as he whispered as if making a vow, "You are not yet an adult, I will not touch your soul. On the contrary, I will protect you until you come of age. When you reach adulthood, your soul will surely be like a treasured vintage wine, rich and mellow."

"Remember my name, my name is Lucifer."

In an instant, the points skyrocketed.

Chapter 293 How about we stew it?

Kidd felt a slight stinging pain between his brows and for a moment thought that Chu Ming had really put a demonic contract on him.

After all, he had seen Hongzi's magic circle before, so he was slightly more accepting of magic.

Before he could react, Chu Ming tossed a crystal ball communicator, which he had specially bought from the mall to show off, to Kidd.

"If you encounter danger, call my name to it."

After he finished speaking, huge black wings reappeared behind him. He flapped his wings slightly and flew into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Holding the crystal ball that looked like one of those cheap gift shops that cost two or three dollars, Kidd suppressed the urge to shout at it now and see if the so-called demon would come back right away, but he decided against it after thinking about it.

What if this demon feels it's been fooled and bites itself on the spot?

*

On his detour back, Chu Ming saw many ships and helicopters gathered at sea, trying to retrieve Kidd's body, but they seemed to have no luck.

After returning, Chu Ming casually met up with Conan and the others, and together they went to the hospital to visit Hattori, who was hospitalized due to a car accident.

He also complained about Conan and Hattori: "You two went too far. You left me stranded in Osaka halfway through a conversation, one on roller skates and the other on a motorcycle, leaving me alone on the streets of Osaka, a place I didn't know at all. I almost got kidnapped by bad guys."

"Chu Ming himself said you're the best, the first one to find Phantom Thief Kid. We little ones, the best ones, have to work even harder." Hattori lay on the hospital bed, clearly still remembering how Chu Ming had mocked him before.

Conan nodded in agreement, thinking of Chu Ming's skills: "Those of us who aren't favored by heaven still have to rely on our own efforts! Besides, who would dare to kidnap you..."

"..." Chu Ming was rarely left speechless by the two of them.

hateful!

The next day, Chu Ming boarded the Suzuki Group's cruise ship with Kogoro Mouri and others, and accompanied the Suzuki chairman to meet Ms. Natsumi Kosaka, who came from France. She found the original manuscript of the Egg of Memories among her grandmother's belongings and told her the love story between her great-grandfather, Mr. Kiichi, the creator of the Egg of Memories, and her great-grandmother.

Conan stared at the original manuscript and quickly concluded that there were actually two eggs, one large and one small. He picked up the Memory Egg, which was worth 800 million, and examined it carefully. He found that there was a glass plate underneath the Memory Egg.

Chu Ming watched as Conan impulsively poked at the glass, and with a clang, the glass broke off and fell to the ground.

"Oh no, oh no!" Conan was so shocked that cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

Chu Ming secretly laughed at him, saying, "It's over, eight hundred million has instantly dropped by one hundred million."

After seeing the shards of glass in Conan's hand, Sonoko Suzuki waved her hand with a grin and said, "It's okay, it's easy to break. I used to pry them off when I was a kid."

Conan followed the light and discovered what appeared to be a pattern on the glass. He immediately told his secretary to turn off the lights. Once it was completely dark, he shone his flashlight on the glass, and an ancient castle instantly appeared on the wall.

"Such a big castle must be very valuable," Chu Ming muttered to himself, looking at the ancient castle in front of him.

"Brother Chu Ming, do you know what this place is?" Conan asked immediately after hearing what Chu Ming seemed to be saying.

"Huh?" Chu Ming didn't expect Conan to have such sharp ears. "I mean, judging from Miss Xia Mei's expression, she should know where we are."

"Yes, this is Yokosuka Castle, built by my grandfather."

Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized: "I know, Miss Natsumi, the other egg in the design must be hidden inside this castle..."

After Kogoro Mouri's analysis, Natsumi Kosaka suddenly understood and invited him to go to Yokosuka Castle together to search for the other egg after the ship docked.

Upon hearing that the two eggs together were worth at least a billion dollars, the people in the conference room all expressed their desire to visit them together.

Miss Xia Mei was too naive. Faced with a treasure worth ten billion, she was unaware of the wickedness of people's hearts and agreed to everyone's requests, letting the wolf into the house. Chu Ming lowered his eyes and thought of the castle that was burned down by Scorpion in the original work, and sneered inwardly.

"Brother Chu Ming, Conan saved Kid's pigeons, shall we go and see?" Ran greeted Chu Ming warmly as she went out.
