Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

The car drove into a nearby deep mountain, and once inside, Jia Chen clearly felt something break.

After stopping at a rather unrefined medieval building, the butler rushed out to open the door for Jia Chen, only to find Jia Chen already standing in front of the building observing.

After opening the door, the old butler walked carefully ahead, and when he reached a certain room, he respectfully knocked on the door.

"Lord Hongzi, the person has been brought back." After saying this, he bowed and retreated.

"Hey, Koizumi-san, is it really necessary to react like this just because I said I believe in Conan's theories?"

A voice came from inside the door. Jia Chen reached out and pushed the door open, where a woman with wine-red hair was sitting.

She is very beautiful, youthful and lovely, and her crimson eyes give her a mysterious air.

There was also a boy tied up next to them, who looked nine-tenths like Shinichi Kudo.

"I told you not to stay home lately, to go out and hide away, but you didn't listen, so you blame me?" Koizumi Akako rolled her eyes at Kuroba Kaito.

"Here, this is Kaito Kuroba," said Akako Koizumi after seeing Kachin enter. "Take him away."

There was not a moment's hesitation throughout the entire process...

"Did you know I would come?" Jia Chen stared calmly at Koizumi Akako.

"Oh ho ho ho, the great Lord Jia Chen, of course." A voice suddenly appeared from the mirror beside him.

"Shut up, Magic Mirror!" Koizumi Akako took a deep breath, glared at the mirror, then looked at Jia Chen and took another deep breath. "Of course, you should know that I have a crystal ball that can predict the future, and it predicts that the Heavenly King will come."

"Heavenly King?" Jia Chen asked, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"I don't know either." Koizumi Akako pondered for a moment like Sherlock Holmes, then took out her phone and waved it. "But we can discuss it when we have time."

"Hey! You two, stop being so mysterious!" Kaito Kuroba shouted from the side, who was tied up. "I need to go to the bathroom!"

One minute he's talking about a heavenly king, the next he's spouting prophecies—he's insane!

As for the mirror that just spoke, he didn't believe it at all.

It must have been Koizumi who installed a megaphone on it, and then... he started acting all mysterious.

Jia Chen walked forward indifferently and delivered a chop to the neck.

"It's much quieter now," said Koizumi Akako.

Jia Chen: "You're just going to hand him over to me like that?"

“The prophecy says there’s no danger, and you’re not a bad person.” Koizumi Akako nodded. “I’ll help him get leave from school.”

He then added, "There's one more thing: the prophecy says you can help me lift the curse."

Jia Chen: "You can't cry, right?"

"You knew all along." Koizumi Akako breathed a sigh of relief. "It's a witch's shackle; if she sheds tears, her magic will disappear."

“I can’t help you,” Jia Chen replied calmly.

In Jia Chen's eyes, the shackle of not being able to cry is basically not a shackle at all...

However... in the original story, Koizumi Akako is at most a high school girl with superhuman strength, yet she uses it to... become a national goddess, making every man who sees her fall in love with her.

This is quite normal. In the context of modern cities, her power has not brought her any benefits; in some ways, it has been a shackle.

“No, because the prophecy means that you are a god in some way.” Koizumi Akako stared at Jia Chen with curiosity. “And the prophecy was very accurate.”

"Okay, if it's really possible in the future, I'll help you." Jia Chen nodded...

Chapter Eleven: So it was you...

After exchanging contact information, Jia Chen calmly reached out and picked up Kuroba Kaito, then went outside.

There are many ways to get Kaito Kuroba to teach him the art of disguise.

After leaving the house, Jia Chen woke up Kuroba Kaito.

"Stop pretending to be asleep." Jia Chen stared at Kuroba Kaito, whose eyes were tightly closed.

Kaito Kuroba: "..."

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Kaito Kuroba felt a chill run down his spine at Gatatsu's indifferent expression. He broke free of the ropes and jumped to the ground. "Let me tell you, what you're doing is illegal!"

Jia Chen didn't speak, but pulled a gun from his pocket and pointed it at Kuroba Kaito's head. "Cooperate, Phantom Thief Kid."

"!!!" Kaito Kuroba, who was about to run away, slowed down a bit, turned around and looked at Gatsuki, and said with an ugly smile, "What are you talking about... I don't quite understand, what Phantom Thief Kid?"

His movements were a little stiff... Could it be that Hongzi recognized him earlier?

That's impossible. Grandpa Terai Kinosuke said that as long as he wears a single layer of lenses, no one can recognize him.

Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun and Jia Chen's calm expression, Kuroba Kaito chuckled awkwardly, confirming that the other party definitely knew his identity, and without a doubt. "Haha... My memory has been a bit forgetful lately, I just remembered this identity."

“It’s alright.” Jia Chen stared at him quietly and said in a serious tone, “I happen to know a little about craniotomy, which can help alleviate your symptoms.”

Jia Chen wasn't trying to scare Kaito Kid; in his previous life, he had actually performed brain surgery on someone.

Kaito Kuroba swallowed hard, looking at the man in front of him.

This is what you call no danger?!

This is insane, holy crap!!!

"What exactly do you want?" Kaito Kuroba forced himself to calm down and asked with a poker face.

Jia Chen: "I need you to teach me the art of disguise."

Kaito Kuroba: "..." "You want to learn disguise? That's easy, I'll teach you! Don't be so scary, okay?" Kaito Kuroba's expression was starting to falter. "Even if you don't know me, through Koizumi-san's connection, it's not like I can't help you."

“I don’t know Koizumi Akako,” Jia Chen said, then added, “We just met today.”

Kaito Kuroba remained silent for a moment...

没错，他今天是 ⑸9[9_3^7]0^3&2@4-招树裙 诸事不顺。

I was planning to go out with Nakamori Aoko, but we ran into Koizumi Akako, and I even bought her a drink. After that... we ended up here...

They also encountered another eccentric person who resembled Koizumi.

Kaito Kuroba secretly made a mental note about Koizumi Akako, planning never to drink any beverages offered by this woman again.

"Alright, I believe you." Kuroba Kaito looked at Jia Chen solemnly and nodded, no longer holding a grudge. "I can teach you disguise techniques, but..."

Kaito Kuroba pointed at the gun. "Can we put the gun down for now?"

Jia Chen stared at Kaito Kid for a while.

If he puts down the gun now, given his skills, he might have a chance to escape, but it's only a slim chance...

Although my Observation Haki isn't as powerful now, I can still sense things around me very clearly.

but...

“If you teach me the art of disguise, I can tell you about Kuroba Toichi.” Jia Chen put down the pistol and put it back in his pocket.

He knew that he couldn't threaten Kaito Kuroba by using the alias Phantom Thief Kid.

"You know about my father?" Kaito Kuroba's poker face crumbled upon hearing this news. "Then where is he now?"

“I will tell you after you teach me the art of disguise,” Jia Chen said.

“Alright, but you can’t reveal the disguise technique.” Kaito Kuroba nodded. “Also, why do you want to learn the disguise technique?”

"No comment," Jia Chen said.

Kaito Kuroba: "..."

I'm asking you this now as your teacher.

What's with that cold, impersonal reply?!

Kaito Kuroba didn't dwell on the question any further; with his intelligence, he could reason about it later.

He stared at Jia Chen for a few seconds, then asked, "What's your name?"

"Jiachen," Jiachen said, "then let's go back to Tokyo now. I'll take a taxi, and you pay."

Kaito Kuroba: "..."

They learned from me, used my methods, but in the end they still had to spend money to take a taxi back to Tokyo.

Jia Chen: "Meals and accommodation included."

“Okay.” Kaito Kuroba nodded without the slightest hesitation.

......

Tokyo, Beika Town...

On the bus. 8

"I think you have a real talent for playing poker face," Kaito Kuroba said, staring at Gatsu's expressionless face.

“No need for that.” Jia Chen looked down at his phone. “Disguise is enough.”

"Alright." Kaito Kuroba nodded.

The car stopped at a luxury apartment building. 9

"This is where you live?" Kaito Kuroba got out of the car and looked around the apartment. "Not bad."
