Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

4

Moreover, her return to Tokyo wasn't without purpose.

In addition, they were investigating Galiano and keeping track of Angel's situation.

It's almost as much of a schedule as Gin's.

Vermouth looked down...

Jia Chen's previous physical test data, character completion rate, abilities...

“That’s superhuman strength.” Vermouth stubbed out her cigarette, picked up the sherry on the table and took a sip. “If Shuichi Akai is a silver bullet, then Gachen is the blade that cuts through the bullet.”

The next morning, Ai Haibara groggily opened her eyes, a hint of confusion in her icy blue pupils...

Last night... she had another strange dream.

In her dream, Jia Chen was surrounded by a flock of black crows, and she wanted to catch up with her...

But she found that the further she chased, the more crows appeared, gradually obscuring her view.

"Having a nightmare?"

Jia Chen's voice pulled Ai Haibara back to reality. She suppressed her doubts, hesitated for a moment, and wondered whether she should tell Jia Chen about this strange dream.

"You don't look well." Jia Chen clearly noticed that Xiao Ai had dark circles under her eyes, which were particularly noticeable on her fair and delicate face.

"No...no." Ai Haibara shook her head gently, not intending to tell Gatsumi about the dream.

After all... that was just a dream.

"Jiachen, we still have to go to school today." Ai Haibara propped herself up, knelt on the blanket, and stretched. "Let's pack up and go back to the city."

"Isn't today a holiday?" Jia Chen sat up as well.

"It's Wednesday today." Ai Haibara tilted her head and looked at Gatsuki. "By the way, have you been taking the medicine I gave you properly? It has absolutely no side effects."

"Hmm... I've been eating it." Jia Chen nodded somewhat helplessly. "I feel much better lately."

He wasn't actually sick, but his son, Shiho, believed he had a mental illness.

"Is that so..." Ai Haibara nodded slightly, her icy blue eyes fixed on... "What day of the week is tomorrow?"

Jia Chen: "..."

“Thursday,” Jia Chen said without hesitation.

Even if everyone in the world is different from him, that's the world's fault, not his.

"Tomorrow is Monday," Ai Haibara said calmly, her eyes half-moon-shaped.

"Okay." Jia Chen nodded, then said, "By the way, if you have trouble sleeping... I'll hold you and tell you stories tonight."

"...I'm not a child." After hearing this, Ai Haibara reached out and pinched Jia Chen's cheek, muttering softly, "But Mr. Jia Chen is a real lolicon."

Jia Chen: "...

After waking everyone, the tent was packed up.

I drove towards the city center.

Because the place Professor Agasa chose was in the suburbs of Beika Town, it wasn't very far away.

After dropping everyone off at home, Jia Chen took Ai Haibara back to the luxury apartment.

Wash up...eat breakfast, pack your schoolbag.

"I'm going to school." After getting ready, Ai Haibara turned and walked towards the door, changed her shoes, opened the door, and closed it.

Jia Chen stared at the entrance hallway in silence for a while...

That plot should be starting soon.

Jia Chen turned to look out the window; the sky was overcast.

A red-eyed crow perched in a tree, quietly watching itself...

Upon realizing it had been discovered, the crow cawed a few times, then flapped its wings and flew away.

Jia Chen stared at the crow that was gradually disappearing into the distance.

With his Observation Haki, he could clearly sense that the crow...exhibited emotional fluctuations unique to humans.

Chapter 153 Conan: Ha, Gin, what a weakling.

Only after the crow disappeared did Jia Chen withdraw his gaze.

When he was at Koizumi Akako's castle, her butler had also told him this.

In previous eras, there was a Count Dracula.

However, we are now in the Dharma-ending Age, and non-human beings are all hiding.

So, was that crow being manipulated by someone?

He took out his phone, found the witch's number, and dialed it.

Beep beep... Beep beep.

The call is connected.

"Oh, it's the Heavenly King... Is there anything I can help you with?"

Koizumi Akako's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is there magic that can control crows?" Jia Chen asked. "Or animals, like clones."

The Observation Haki I just used clearly showed that the crow had human emotions.

"...Why are you asking these questions?" Koizumi Akako on the other end of the phone was clearly surprised. "You don't want to capture them for research, do you?"

“No,” Jia Chen said.

"Wait a minute..." The voice on the other end of the phone had barely finished when the sound of pages turning and rustling could be heard, very smoothly... as if the pages were floating and turning naturally. "I've got it. There was indeed such a family a hundred years ago, but they withdrew from the magical world at that time."

"Is the surname Karasuma?" Jia Chen pondered for a moment before asking.

“I don’t know,” Koizumi Akako said. “However, this family was notorious in that era, skilled at controlling people’s minds and creating fear.”

In the end, the people could no longer tolerate the beings who could manipulate people's hearts, so they overthrew them, and then there was no further news.

After hearing this, Jia Chen nodded knowingly.

If my speculation is correct, that crow should be controlled by Karasuma Renya.

Based on the original storyline, the organization's various superficial phenomena all reveal Raven.

Moreover... it seems that he used his abilities when the organization's BOSS tested him last time.

Logically speaking, the other party's abilities cannot be used frequently.

It requires some special medium... medicine, or a special bloodline.

"Do you really want that kind of method to manipulate people's minds?" Koizumi Akako asked excitedly on the other end of the phone. "Or have you already awakened some kind of ability?"

She was quite curious about the Heavenly King's abilities, such as the ability to foresee things through the crystal ball...

The ultimate king of development, in this era, is...

god!

Jia Chen: "Mm."

“Then I can teach you!” Koizumi Akako said. “After all, red magic also has spells that bewitch people.”

Jia Chen: "..."

He already knew about Koizumi Akako's seductive methods when he went to her room last time.

As mentioned in the original storyline, no man in the world can resist the allure of Koizumi Akako.

Even Shinichi Kudo couldn't.

Of course, he's an exception, because he... is now considered a superman, or rather... no longer human.

"No need," Jia Chen said.

"Never mind then," Koizumi Akako said, her tone seemingly regretful. "By the way, could you do me a favor in a few days?"

"No problem, contact me when the time comes," Jia Chen agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Jia Chen took out a cigarette from his pocket, sat on the sofa, and lit it.

He took out his laptop, logged into the organization's dark web, and collected detailed IP addresses of messages suspected to be sent by Akemi Miyano.

The other party's IP address is... near Ekoda High School?!

Ding...

The cell phone rings.

Jia Chen took out her phone to check...
