My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

"Now that the contract has been signed, I will naturally send my men to carry it out for you. However, the only thing that is valid under the contract is a resurrection."

ZERO, take Akizuki Airi for another training session later. This time, in addition to the existing training, add techniques related to the Dry Earth.

After saying that, Igniz left the experimental subject cultivation room. As the leader of NESTS, Igniz was very busy.

"I understand."

Shin-Zero nodded and glanced at Akizuki Airi. After a moment's pause, Shin-Zero continued, "Come with me, to the Dry Land."

After the first stage was over, Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief. As for the issue of being resurrected, it wasn't that she didn't want to be resurrected; she couldn't just conjure up a mother for Akizuki Airi out of thin air.

Based on her own design of the plot, Akizuki Airi is an Akizuki Airi who traveled from a parallel world to this world.

Akizuki Marina does not exist in this world, and Akizuki Kozo will be disposed of by NESTS.

……

On the other side, Akizuki Airi's lips twitched slightly at the unexpected title she had just heard. "Dry... Dry Earth" really doesn't suit her.

Mr. ZERO, may you continue to call me Miss Akizuki? I feel that the title Miss Akizuki suits me better than "barren earth".

As Akizuki Airi pondered this, she obediently followed Shinji out of the incubation room. They remained silent the whole way, and after several turns, the two finally arrived at a room that looked very high-tech.

Looking at the virtual screens flashing everywhere in front of her, Akizuki Airi subconsciously widened her eyes.

Wow, that's amazing. So I understand how they did it in many ways. But this room is so futuristic!

As Akizuki Airi thought this, Shinji began to slowly explain how to use the room.

Is it really possible to impart knowledge?

Hearing Shin's explanation, Akizuki Airi was somewhat incredulous, but looking at Shin's confident assertion, she couldn't be sure whether this technology was real or not.

If this technology truly exists, perhaps the organization could actually achieve something like resurrection.

Following Shin-Zero's instructions, Akizuki Airi put on the helmet and blindfold that were on the bed in the center of the room.

After lying in bed, Akizuki Airi, knowing there was nothing she could do, suddenly felt dizzy, followed by a throbbing pain in her brain.

……

"It's done!"

Looking at the unconscious Akizuki Airi, Qing stretched and thought to herself, "As expected of me, my actions just now, whether it was the implantation of memories or the shaping of senses, were perfect."

Xia Qing, who directly imparts knowledge, said he didn't know how to create it, but he could impart memories himself using the power of his mind.

In reality, she doesn't feel pain when transmitting memories to others, but for the sake of realism, well, she'll just have to make the parched earth suffer for now.

Chapter 379: Phantom Thief Kid

"What's going on with all this commotion?"

On a night with neon lights flashing, Xia Qing, who was in a state of optical cloaking, looked around at the police cars that were speeding toward the same destination with some confusion.

Having successfully deceived Akizuki Airi in the early morning, Xia Qing began to impersonate the BOSS and order Gin to use his abilities to vet a batch of candidates for the organization.

These candidates were required to be extremely loyal to the organization, have few desires or weaknesses that the organization could exploit, and most importantly, not be spies.

Gin, upon receiving the task, gave a prompt answer: he would submit the review of this group of people within a week.

Along with the answer, what Gin was telling himself was an excuse he had prepared for the audit.

Handshake event...

That's right, it's the kind of handshake event that idols often hold, but when idols hold such events and shake hands with their idols, fans feel joy and excitement.

However, if Gin were to hold a meeting, many people within the organization would probably suspect that Gin has lost his mind, and there would likely be no joy at all.

Gin's handshake event left only with shock.

After having a proper discussion with Gin about the handshake event, it was already noon by the time Xia Qing dealt with this small matter. Xia Qing said that a balance between work and rest is the key.

So... Xia Qing, choosing to balance work and rest, simply skipped an afternoon and indulged in browsing some books unique to the Conan world.

In terms of science and technology, the current Conan world is far behind the Honkai Impact world in terms of technology on the surface, but the world is more outstanding in some aspects of literature than the Honkai Impact world.

In terms of detective and mystery novels, the number of excellent works in this world far exceeds that of the world of Honkai Impact.

After all, this is also related to the main theme of this world. After all, things like high school detectives, which seem quite outrageous in the ordinary world, can exist in this world.

"They're capturing Phantom Thief Kid!"

The system voice sounded at this moment. Upon hearing this, Xia Qing stopped in place and began to recall the plot of Phantom Thief Kid from her memory.

Since acquiring Tavel's body, Xia Qing's previously blurred memories have been unearthed, and she easily recalled information related to Phantom Thief Kid.

Kaito Kid, the protagonist of Phantom Thief 1412, is not the original Kaito Kid active in this era, but rather the second Kaito Kid in the history of this world.

Kaito Kuroba is the son of the original Phantom Thief Kid.

This is the true identity of the second Phantom Thief Kid, whose real reason for becoming a phantom thief is to find Pandora, a gem that can bring immortality.

Speaking of which... isn't Kaito Kuroba also a main character?

If we successfully fool him, we can probably convert a lot of his power.

Xia Qing thought to himself, and at this moment he had no intention of immediately going to find Kuroba Kaito.

Setting up a plan to fool Kaito Kid will take time, and besides, Kaito Kuroba is not someone who can be easily deceived.

Characters in detective dramas like this are often highly intelligent individuals, and Xia Qing felt that the chances of them being exposed were very high if they made decisions hastily and casually.

Not in a hurry to make a decision, Xia Qing continued to stroll as if nothing had happened.

The siren of the police car gradually faded into the distance. Xia Qing, who was taking a nighttime walk, checked the time and prepared to return to her current residence.

Suddenly, the phone rang in the empty street. Hearing the ringing, Xia Qing subconsciously turned her head to the right. She was now completely invisible to ordinary people.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Qing finally realized one thing: this call wasn't to her, and the ringtone and the timing reminded her of a scene from the movie Phantom Thief 1412.

Walking towards the source of the bell, Xia Qing roughly understood the situation after arriving at the place where the bell rang.

It seems I've stumbled upon a rather important plot point in the original story.

If my memory serves me right, the person on the other end of the phone should be from that mysterious organization in Phantom Thief Kid.

In the world of Detective Conan, there are not only the mysterious organizations whose names have not been revealed, but also the one known as the Black Organization. In the Phantom Thief Kid storyline, there is another organization whose goal is to acquire various gems.

Members of this organization often use animal-themed code names. Looking at Kaito Kuroba over there, Xia Qing thought for a moment and silently used his mental abilities to mark him.

As I quietly watched this scene unfold in the story, the plot of Kaito Kuroba was rapidly being filled in my mind.

Silently observing all this without doing anything, Xia Qing, who would definitely be suspected of betrayal in a knight's tale, quietly asked the system in her heart:

"By the way, what do you think of the concept of a mysterious organization executive who sealed his memories in order to carry out a certain grand plan for Kaito Kuroba?"

While Xia Qing was discussing this matter with the system, Kuroba Kaito, who was the subject of the discussion, gripped the phone tightly in his hand.

It turns out there was more to the story than meets the eye when the father died!

From his conversation with the guy on the other end of the phone, Kaito Kuroba learned quite a bit about his father's past.

Time passed slowly. Xia Qing, who had been quietly observing this scene, prepared to wait for the members of that organization to walk into his trap after Kuroba Kaito appeared there.

The power of the mind has many uses. Given enough time, Xia Qing said he could even brainwash an entire organization.

……

My name is Kaito Kuroba, a high school phantom thief, and I am a second-year student in Class B at Ekoda High School.

In the classroom, Kaito Kuroba idly twirled the playing cards in his hand, while his left hand kept swiping the screen of his phone, which displayed the image of the next gem he had his eye on.

Recalling the information he had previously obtained, Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but drift off into a daze.

"Hmm, this seems to be the right class. Excuse me, is Kaito Kuroba here?"

Just then, a voice caught his attention.

Hmm, looking for yourself?

Kaito stood up from his seat and looked towards the classroom door, where a somewhat unfamiliar business was located.

Hmm... that seems to be Kobayashi Madoka from the next class.

Kaito greeted the figure and was about to ask what business it was with him when the other person handed him a package first.

"Kaito, this is something someone I met at the entrance asked me to give to you."

Madoka looked at Kaito with a speechless expression and said that when she wanted to refuse to let him deliver the package himself, the man simply turned around and left, leaving her with no choice but to accept it.

Chapter 380: The Assassin from the Mysterious Organization

After thanking Kobayashi, Kaito returned to his seat to open the package and see what was inside.

"One piece of clothing and... judging from the size, the data shouldn't be too outrageous. A USB drive?"

Wait… what’s that label on this USB drive!

After opening the package, Kaito looked at the two items in front of him and muttered to himself. He glanced around, first carefully examining the purple clothes, and then turning his attention to the USB drive.

Kaito Kuroba recognized the marking on the back of the USB drive at a glance; it was a chibi version of Kaito Kid's portrait.

This marking was something I never expected. Could I have already been exposed?

This marker might be the first warning, a warning from the sender.

……

Kaito Kuroba fell silent as he stared at the chibi-style avatar in front of him. Oh no, had he given himself away?

This is troublesome. I have no idea what information is stored on this USB drive, or what the person who sent it had in the first place wanted!

Kaito Kuroba wore a cautious expression, preparing to skip school to find out what was going on first.

The purple dress that was sent along with it seems to contain something inside, but it's not convenient to open it and look at it directly at school. I'll definitely take a look when I get back.

Kaito Kuroba is not a model student who sticks to the rules. After performing a series of fancy magic tricks in the classroom, he took advantage of the teacher's momentary lapse in attention and made a quick getaway.

After slipping away, Kaito Kuroba returned to his home with ease, unsure whether the grandfather who had been his father's assistant had been exposed.

Before you're certain about this, it's best not to take these things directly to him.

When I turned on my computer to read the information the other party wanted to transfer from the USB drive, I only saw a TXT file that said "Please destroy the USB drive after reading" after opening the USB drive folder.
