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

Looking at Akizuki Airi in front of him, Kuroba Kaito thought for a moment and said evasively, "That's right, I've already recovered."

Hmm... this chuunibyou girl is probably talking about the restoration of power. It seems like there are similar plots in many works, where power is sealed and needs to be unsealed.

Upon hearing Kaito Kuroba's words, Airi Akizuki continued in sync with Shin's words, saying, "What are your plans regarding that matter?"

"Don't you already understand my plan?"

Kaito Kuroba answered with a smile, his poker face revealing no flaw whatsoever, as if Airi Akizuki already knew the answer.

What do I know?

Looking at Kaito Kuroba and Airi Akizuki, they felt a bit confused, but just then, Shin's voice rang out: "He's not talking to you, he's talking to me."

"He needs to give me a clear explanation of what he intends to do in the organization's next actions, and why he happened to be in such a coincidental place at such a coincidental time."

After saying this, Xia Qing, who was playing the role of Shin Zero, was also a little confused. What was going on with Kaito? It was as if he was a real organization leader.

I'm just using Akizuki Airi as a front to deliver some information, how am I supposed to respond like this...?

Also, Kaito, I didn't expect you to be a chuunibyou too. You actually acted so chuunibyou that you fooled the dry earth into thinking that you had really regained your memories.

Chapter 395: The Condensation Point of the Serpent Blood Eye.

"Don't try to control forbidden power. It's too dangerous. Never mind... anyway, someone with your crazy personality probably won't listen to my advice."

Good luck to you. Information about that thing has already been stored on this external hard drive, and I don't care about your plans to study here.

However, you'd better understand the plan to seize that thing in detail. If we both make some mistakes due to a misunderstanding, it won't be easy to explain to Lord Igniz.

After Akizuki Airi relayed Shin's words, she handed over a silver-white hard drive. Kaito looked at the portable hard drive, thought for a moment, and then chose to accept it.

Hmm, it must be a prop for this girl's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome). I'll find an opportunity to return it to her when she's over her chuunibyou phase.

After seeing that Kaito Kuroba had accepted the hard drive, Airi Akizuki did not intend to stay there for long and took her leave immediately.

As Akizuki Airi left without a word, Kuroba Kaito was about to ask her how he was going to return the information, but it was too late.

Left with no other choice, Kaito Kuroba decided to open the external hard drive to see if there was any information that could help him find the Dry Earth Lady.

Half an hour later, Kaito Kuroba casually looked at the text displayed on the screen.

Wow, that chuunibyou girl actually made such a detailed action plan.

Speaking of which... why does the name Saint Diana look so familiar?

After thinking for a moment, Kaito Kuroba finally realized where he had heard the name before. It seemed to be the cruise ship that recently opened for tickets and docked in Japan.

Scrolling the mouse wheel, Kaito Kuroba's pupils contracted slightly as he saw a name in the external hard drive information.

"Wait, Serpent Blood Eyes?"

Looking at the name on the gem in front of him, Kaito Kuroba felt that things were getting serious. Could he have been misunderstood? Also, was that little girl just a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, or was she really a member of some mysterious organization?

That organization is utterly heartless; that barren land doesn't look like it belongs to an adult at all.

Kaito Kuroba thought to himself, and at the same time, he began to gather information about the Saint Diana.

Now that those four words have appeared, we can't be careless this time.

As expected, appearances can be deceiving. That chuunibyou girl seemed so innocent, but it turns out she was working for that organization behind the scenes.

While Kaito Kuroba was searching for information, Conan on the other side was doing something similar, though with a different purpose.

"Speaking of which... the freebies from horse racing betting are cruise tickets? I really can't understand how the two are connected."

After making a comment, Conan didn't pay much attention to the matter after searching for information online.

Information about the Saint Diana cruise ship is scarce, given that it was built relatively recently.

There are no safety issues, as the construction company is a long-established group that has rarely made any mistakes.

While the two were gathering intelligence on the cruise ship, Akizuki Airi began returning to the safe house that Xia Qing had prepared for her in advance.

"Watch out for Kaito Kuroba."

Shin's voice suddenly rang out, and upon hearing it, Akizuki Airi looked puzzled: "Kaito-senpai doesn't seem like a bad person."

"Don't be fooled by his facade; what you see is only what he wants you to see."

Do you really think that someone who can become a key officer in charge of the intelligence department within an organization could be such an ordinary person?

What you see is just the surface; that guy is a complete madman.

"A complete madman?" Shin-Zero said with absolute certainty, looking at Shin-Zero Akizuki Airi in front of her and asking in confusion.

"That's right... that guy is a pure hedonist. He doesn't consider whether it's beneficial or not when he does things; he only focuses on his own feelings."

That guy also has another identity: Phantom Thief Kid. You've probably heard of that title before.

After hearing this, Akizuki Airi was silent for a moment before saying in a somewhat doubtful tone, "I think I heard a classmate mention it before?"

In Akizuki Airi's memory, there seemed to be a female otaku classmate at school who mentioned that Kaito Kid was her idol.

Wow, I never expected that she would actually step out of the world of anime and start liking real people.

"Kaito Kid, a thief who steals purely for pleasure, usually returns the stolen treasures to their rightful owners after admiring them for a while."

That guy's main purpose was to enjoy the atmosphere during the theft—the tense feeling of being surrounded, the high-pressure atmosphere of constantly being exposed and ending up in jail.

Shin-Zero said with certainty, and Akizuki Airi nodded in response, "Judging from this description, that Kaito-senpai really is a pleasure-seeking pursuer."

Airi Akizuki's tone was full of certainty at this moment. She hadn't expected that Kaito-senpai could disguise himself so perfectly, just like an ordinary model student.

……

"Sonoko, we're here!"

On a clear midday, a sea breeze blew across the harbor. Ran waved to a familiar figure and then pulled Conan along, running towards the harbor.

"Here it comes! Here it comes!"

Upon hearing Ran's voice, Sonoko turned around and responded. The two exchanged a few words with Conan before boarding the cruise ship together.

"By the way, where's Uncle Mori?"

After boarding the cruise ship, Sonoko noticed that someone was missing and sounded puzzled. Conan then explained, "The uncle went to the restroom and said he would catch up later."

Sonoko nodded upon hearing this, and just a second later Kogoro's voice rang out: "Ahem, sorry, sorry, there was a little accident earlier, so I'm a bit late."

"Hmm, the ship probably hasn't departed yet. Hey, Conan, Ran, Sonoko, you're all here."

Kogoro walked towards them against the sea breeze, his clothes unusually neat, exuding the aura of a successful man.

???

What's wrong with this guy today...?

Could it be that Yoko Okino, that idol, is also on this cruise ship?

While Conan was filled with doubt, Kogoro Mouri had already begun trying to liven up the atmosphere.

After receiving a response from the other party, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the group of people nearby.

It seems I didn't mistake the person. I didn't expect that famous detective to be so lax... I didn't even make a move. I just used the excuse of getting along well with him to drink a few bottles of wine.

Thinking of Kogoro Mouri, who was still drunk in the bar, Kaito Kuroba, who was disguised as him, began to wonder how the guy had managed to earn the title of "famous detective."

Chapter 396: Eri Kisaki Arrives

The journey was so peaceful that Kaito began to wonder if the barren land was playing a trick on him.

Three hours have passed since the Saint Diana set sail. In those three hours, I have basically searched most of the cruise ship using the mobile monitoring system.

"If it's a coincidence, then it's a bit too much of a coincidence..."

Kaito muttered to himself, recalling the phrase "snake blood eyes." He thought to himself, "If it really is a coincidence, it feels a bit too unbelievable."

"Forget it, let's go out and find some food first. I haven't eaten since this morning. Speaking of which, since it's a luxury cruise ship, the food the chef makes should be pretty good, right?"

As the sea breeze blew in his face, Kaito, disguised as Kogoro Mouri, said this while sitting on the terrace of his room.

After leaving his room, Kaito headed to the restaurant on the cruise ship.

Shortly after he left, the door to the room next to his was opened.

"Something's not right, something's very wrong."

Looking at Kogoro Mouri's room door, Conan spoke in a suspicious tone.

This is really strange. Given the uncle's personality, how could he possibly stay obediently in his room once he's on a cruise ship?

"Let's sneak in and see if we can find any clues."

After glancing at the house next door, Conan picked up his tools and began picking the lock with remarkable skill. But lock-picking skills are truly essential.

Using his excellent lock-picking skills learned in Hawaii, Conan easily opened Kogoro Mouri's house.

"Hmm... there doesn't seem to be anything suspicious about it."

At first glance, it looked no different from an ordinary room. After searching the room briefly, Conan shook his head helplessly.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this place."

As he spoke, he walked towards the terrace of the room, which was divided into several different types of rooms on the cruise ship.

The ticket that Kogoro Mouri was given was from the most luxurious batch. Although it was ostensibly a way to thank loyal customers, it was actually arranged by Xia Qing behind the scenes.

"This, this is!"

After walking onto the terrace of the cruise ship's cabin, Conan's pupils slightly contracted as he looked at the robot in front of him.

Upon seeing the footage playing on the machine, Conan's expression instantly turned serious.

That person could absolutely not be Kogoro Mouri; Conan was absolutely certain of it at that moment.

After all, the machine in front of him didn't seem like something he would own.

At this moment, different screens on the machines in front of us display different scenes from various parts of the cruise ship. These machines are constantly moving around, as if trying to collect more images.

"What exactly is the imposter's purpose?"

Conan frowned as he looked at the scene before him and muttered to himself. Just then, the two figures captured on the screen made his pupils contract slightly and cold sweat break out.

Qin (a type of zither), Qin (a type of liquor)!
