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

By the way... what is the clutch used for again?

I think I've heard someone mention this word before. Oh well, I don't want to think about it too much. Let's get rid of the wreckage of this car first.

Because Xia Qing used the power of Kuroba Kaito when the car overturned, he wasn't injured.

After the two of them climbed out of the car, Xia Qing snapped her fingers and instantly opened up a spatial extension channel in the imaginary space.

"Forget it, let's just use our abilities to get there."

After saying this, Xia Qing took the lead and walked into the spatial passage, while Kuroba Kaito was at a loss for words.

Since it has such a convenient ability, why not just find a secluded place to use it? Wouldn't that be more convenient?

Perhaps using that ability requires consuming something, or there's some special reason behind it.

Kaito Kuroba had already come up with an explanation for Xia Qing in his mind, while at the same time, the sound of the car overturning attracted a lot of onlookers.

Hearing footsteps coming from afar, Kaito Kuroba didn't say anything and stepped into the space tunnel. Akako, who had rushed over after hearing the explosion, happened to see this scene.

"Looks like we've discovered something incredible."

Akako showed a rather amused expression as Kaito calmly walked into a passage and disappeared, and then Kaito disappeared as he stepped into the spatial tunnel.

"This is the safe spot I found back then...?"

Xia Qing's tone suddenly became full of doubt as she spoke, as if she was somewhat puzzled by her surroundings.

"How long has it been since you last checked this safe spot? When was the last time you mentioned..."

After glancing at the scene outside the window, which was not going to be finished in a day or two, Kaito Kuroba turned his attention to the person who was already in the room.

"Um, miss, how about you just pretend we were never here?"

Kaito Kuroba looked somewhat embarrassed as he saw Ai Haibara's indifferent expression.

At this moment, Ai Haibara felt a little panicked. What was going on with this sudden spatial teleportation?

Has Earth's technology advanced to this level? Why is the brewery's intelligence department completely unaware...?

"Stranger, who are you?"

As Kaito Kuroba and Ai Haibara approached the door warily, Kaito Kuroba thought for a moment and said, "I'm just a magician who works part-time as a phantom thief. Don't worry about it."

Xia Qing, who had already made plans, waved her hand and said in a tone that was easy for children to understand, "Don't worry, we're not good... no, we're not bad people."

Hey, you just meant to say that none of us are good people, right?

Looking at Xia Qing, Kuroba Kaito felt a little tired. "Are you saying this because you're afraid others won't doubt us?"

"Alright, it seems you also consider yourselves bad guys. So what's your purpose in barging in?"

Ai Haibara remained cautious, while Xia Qing spoke with a slightly surprised tone:

"I never expected to encounter such a coincidence, to actually meet you here, the inheritor of that bloodline."

Hearing Xia Qing's surprise, Ai Haibara frowned: "Do you know me... or rather, do you have any bloodline?"

Seeing that Xia Qing beside him seemed to know the unfamiliar girl, Kuroba Kaito cast a questioning glance his way. Noticing this question, he decided to answer it as soon as possible, and his voice rang out:

"The name of the villainous savior is known throughout the world, and as his daughter, your information has long been on the tables of various organizations."

However, you don't need to be wary of us, Kaito. Her true identity is actually your niece.

Oh, I forgot to introduce him. The man next to me is the sixth Shadow among the four Heavenly Kings of NESTS, the Blasphemer Kaito Kuroba.

As Ai Haibara and Xia Qing introduced Kaito Kuroba, Ai Haibara rubbed her hair, looking somewhat troubled.

Leaving aside the question of why there are six members among the Four Heavenly Kings, life is truly unpredictable.

You never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first, and this saying is quite applicable to Ai Haibara.

He never expected that on this ordinary day, he would actually meet all his blood relatives except for his sister and his father, who had become a primary school student.

Just as the three were talking, Xia Qing suddenly sensed that Koizumi Akako had returned to her home.

While multitasking, Xia Qing suddenly felt a magical force gathering in Hongzi's house, and upon realizing this, he immediately understood what was happening.

Above each magic circle, Hongzi is casting a spell to inquire about something through a demon.

"What is Kaito Kuroba's true identity? Who exactly is he?"

Hongzi's voice rang out at this moment, and as she looked at the altar in front of her, she began to guess the answer next.

Chapter 448: Have you already sworn allegiance to Yusaku Kudo?!

The way he disappeared before suggests that Kaito Kuroba may have come into contact with other magicians or similar beings without his knowledge.

"Kaito Kuroba... He is the hand that manipulates time, the shadow that roams through fate, the embodiment of deception and mischief."

He is the sacrifice of the ritual, the holder of the bloodline, and the descendant of Yusaku Kudo on Earth.

He is a high-ranking member of NESTS, second only to the leader of NESTS, the one who, with a human body, reached the realm of gods through technology.

He is the phantom thief under the moonlight, the one destined to end the blind chaos.

The deep voice of "Satan" rang out at this moment, and Xia Qing was cosplaying the Satan that Koizumi Akako was supposed to summon.

???

Hearing these terrifying descriptions, Koizumi Akako felt she had many questions. Was Kaito really that strong in secret?

Also, what's with Kudo Yusaku? Isn't Kaito's father Kuroba Toichi?

What about the descendants on Earth? Why is it said that Yusaku Kudo isn't a descendant of Earth?

NESTS... An organization I've never heard of before, the embodiment of fraud and pranks... That phantom thief who likes to play tricks on the police does seem to have potential in that area.

But why would such an extraordinary description appear on him, describing him as someone who manipulates the hands of time, roams the shadow of fate, and ends the blind chaos?

Akako felt she couldn't understand Kaito Kuroba at all, and faced with "Satan," she began to ask him some of the questions he cared about most.

Hearing her question, Xia Qing slowly replied, "Kaito Kuroba's bloodline is not simply that of an Earth human. As for the ritual... I can't observe much of it. That ritual is about to take place."

That ritual will bring unprecedented upheaval to the world, and if it succeeds, an alien god will descend upon this planet.

As for the other questions, I don't know the answers.

Hearing Satan's answer, Akako felt as if she had learned something incredible. While Akako was deeply shocked, on the other side, Ai Haibara and Kaito Kuroba had reached a consensus.

The two are close in age and both have a wealth of knowledge, so getting along with each other is not too difficult.

Looking at Ai Haibara not far away, Kaito Kuroba asked in a curious tone, "So... what's going on with my villainous savior brother now?"

"He is now disguising himself with a new identity, an identity that would never make anyone suspect that it is him."

Before Ai Haibara could answer, Xia Qing replied with certainty, and upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba showed a curious expression.

What kind of identity would allow Michi to be certain that her brother would not be suspected?

"Conan Edogawa".

At this moment, Ai Haibara uttered a name, and Kaito Kuroba was slightly taken aback: "Eh?"

"Edogawa Conan is the name of my father's current identity."

Ai Haibara's answer left Kaito Kuroba completely stunned.

Could you repeat that?

At this moment, Kaito Kuroba was filled with such meaning, and Ai Haibara repeated that name again.

"It's Conan, the one you're thinking of. Not many people would actually call him that, it's such a strange name."

At this moment, Xia Qing confirmed that what Ai Haibara had said was true.

Upon hearing this confirmation, Kaito Kuroba realizes that he has been doing something stupid all along. It turns out that the seemingly abnormal kid is actually his older brother!

On the cruise ship, on the rooftop, scenes of himself disguised as Shinichi Kudo flashed through his mind. Kaito Kuroba realized that the person who had impersonated Shinichi Kudo on several occasions was actually watching him.

It's awkward, it's extremely awkward right now.

Knowing the truth, Kaito Kuroba felt only ashamed, but...

Shinichi Kudo, why are you just watching? Have you already sworn allegiance to Yusaku Kudo?

Seemingly sensing what Kaito Kuroba was thinking, Xia Qing thought for a moment and said:

"At that time, Shinichi Kudo probably hadn't started to recover his memories yet. Given his personality, he probably wouldn't hold it against him after he recovered."

At this moment, Shinichi Kudo, whom everyone was thinking about, was still in his own villa, looking at the samurai sword in front of him with a complicated expression. What exactly is the use of this thing?

Conan, who is holding the knife with both hands and trying to slash, still doesn't understand how to use it.

After obtaining this weapon, Shinichi Kudo has conducted numerous experiments. First of all, many of the substances contained in this weapon do not exist on Earth at all.

Secondly, this weapon seems to never break; no matter what you try to break it, nothing can shatter it.

Of course, all of this is within a limited scope. Conan doesn't intend to conduct any destructive tests at the moment, as it would be terrible if he accidentally broke the katana.

Just then, Conan cautiously looked behind him, noticing a slight movement in the katana in his hand.

This unusual movement is like a reminder that something is coming from behind.

The katana in Conan's hand was trembling rapidly, not out of fear but out of a thirst for battle.

At the same time, the space opposite him suddenly turned dark red and began to twist, and a being covered by tentacles walked out from the opposite space.

The tentacles slowly retracted from in front of him, and the suddenly appearing entity revealed its true form: a pink starfish.

"what do you?"

Seeing the sudden appearance of the pink starfish, Conan gripped his katana tightly, and the starfish's deep voice rang out:

"I am Patrick Star, the devourer of the seven seas, the enemy of the fish, the destined destroyer of Atlantis, the mad assimil, the blind fish-eater!"

Hearing such a large number of titles made Conan even more nervous, and he felt immense pressure in the current situation.

Although it's unclear what attack methods the opponent has, judging from this list of names, they don't seem to be a weakling.

Given its menacing appearance, this starfish's target is me!

Conan quickly considered how to defeat the enemy, realizing that his only remaining asset was the knife in his hand.

There is a kitchen knife at home, but it's probably not as good as the weapon I have. As for firearms, I don't have any at home.

What is your purpose?
