Conan: The Heart Thief

It seems that this game can reflect people's actions in the game. In this case, Judy is no match for me. Watch me give her a good beating.

He clenched the joystick with both fists again, swung it out quickly, and kicked hard with his feet at the same time!

In a blink of an eye, the middle-aged man on the game screen was knocked to the ground. Judy's body went numb and she lost the game.

At the same time, the game console made a sound: "You, win!"

"Teacher Judy, I'm sorry, I won. Does it hurt you when I hit you?" Lin Xiao said provocatively.

Judy said unwillingly: "Lin Xiao, you broke the rules. How come you are so skilled? You don't look like a beginner at all!"

At this moment, the image of a young man with a crew cut suddenly appeared on the side of the game screen. He pointed at Lin Xiao provocatively and said, "I will kill you!"

"???"

"It seems like someone has challenged you, Lin Xiao." Judy said excitedly.

"Really? Who is it?" Lin Xiao sat down again.

Judy looked around and explained, "Someone challenged you! That means a challenger has come online to challenge you! It should be a game player around us. You have to be careful!"

The person who challenged Lin Xiao was the young man sitting at the side and behind him. The character in the center of the screen in the game in front of him was the warrior Patra that Lin Xiao had chosen before!

Judy said in a deep voice: "He, he's terrific! He's amazing!"

Seeing the other party's provocative smile, Lin Xiao was amused: "Here comes another background board to show off to me. I like good kids like this who put their faces close to me so I can hit them."

Chapter 36: High School Detective, So Scary!

The game console makes a sound: "fight!"

Lin Xiao threw a punch first, but his opponent dodged swiftly and countered with a whirlwind kick.

The sensor immediately responded with a vibration.

"The game still requires certain skills, and brute force won't work."

Although Lin Xiao's reaction was faster than his opponent's, his proficiency in the game was not enough to win quickly. Lin Xiao chose to play a defensive counterattack and not to rush forward.

At the beginning, the opponent had the upper hand, but as Lin Xiao gradually became more proficient in the operation, he immediately gave the opponent a strong suppression.

After successfully defending against his opponent's attack, Lin Xiao delivered a beautiful combination of punches and defeated his opponent.

"I won."

Lin Xiao laughed happily, feeling the sense of accomplishment of winning the game.

Xiaolan, Sonoko, and even Teacher Judy exclaimed in admiration for Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was so handsome!

Conan was different, he smelled a case.

"Hey! Are you sure? Bidou Kengo! Aren't you known as the 'Phantom Caesar'? How could you be defeated by a beginner like that? What a shame."

A man in his thirties appeared, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"Shimizu Takaho!" Oto Kengo's face was extremely ugly, and he defended himself, "Humph! It was just an accident just now!"

"A surprise?" Shimizu Takashi sneered.

Oto Kengo's face became even uglier, and he said, "Shimizu Takaho, since you are here, let's fight it out! I'm waiting for you!"

It seemed that he had no intention of getting entangled with Oto Kengo. Shimizu Takaho reached out and took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not too late for me to smoke a cigarette first!"

At this time, Conan's cute voice sounded.

"Uncles, can you tell me what 'Phantom Caesar' means?"

Kengo Oto and Takashi Shimizu ignored Conan, but another fat uncle with a mustache and glasses started to explain.

"Little brother, that title means he's awesome. No one has ever beaten him in this game. But he's been too arrogant lately. Everyone hates him."

Conan then asked: "Uncle, it turns out that you just saw the fighting process in the game just now!"

"Yes! I saw it on the big screen!"

The fat uncle pointed to a large screen that was over a hundred inches in size and said, "Although what is being played now is the setting screen, once someone uses the challenge system, the screen will show the fight between the two players!"

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Conan looked at the huge screen, then turned his attention to a person and asked, "So, who is Mr. Shimizu Takashige..."

"Oh, him! His nickname is 'Phantom Lucas', and he's a very powerful guy!"

As they were talking, Takashi Shimizu, nicknamed "Phantom Lucas", had already lit a cigarette and started a game duel with Kengo Oto, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone was focused on the game between the two, with the exception of Lin Xiao and Conan.

The two looked at each other and quickly rushed to "Phantom Caesar" Kengo Oto in front of the game console.

Lin Xiao pulled the other person over and his face instantly turned cold.

Conan asked nervously, "Brother Lin Xiao, has he been in trouble?"

Lin Xiao nodded: "Yes, the person is gone."

Lin Xiao went straight behind "Phantom Lucas" Shimizu Takashi and pressed his shoulders.

"No need to act anymore, you've already been exposed."

"what!"

Shimizu Takashi turned around in horror. He never expected that he would be exposed before the show was over.

After Xiaolan called the police, Inspector Megure arrived with his men soon.

Because Shimizu Takashi was caught in the act, he confessed his guilt immediately.

……

After the incident was resolved, everyone went home.

Lin Xiao was walking home carelessly under the street lights, and then he bumped into a pair of bright car lights head-on.

The elastic headlights pushed Lin Xiao back a step.

Lin Xiao raised his head and saw that it was his foreign English teacher.

"Hmm? Teacher Judy, you haven't gone back yet. Is there something wrong?"

Teacher Judy asked: "Mr. Lin, I'm very curious, how did you find out that something happened to Weidou Kengo?"

The reason why Lin Xiao knew that something happened to Oto Kengo was, on the one hand, that he knew the plot in advance, and on the other hand, that Shimizu Takao had a problem, which Conan also discovered.

"I noticed that Shimizu Takashi's movements were not right. In addition, there was something wrong with the character he used. He actually used the Caesar character that the other party was good at, instead of Lucas, which he was good at."

"So that's how it is. Lin is so observant. It's really scary." Teacher Judy became very interested in the student in front of her. She suddenly came to teach at Teitan High School in order to investigate a certain organization. Why did Lin Xiao transfer to Teitan High School?

"So... Mr. Lin, you are the legendary Japanese high school detective."

"Ahh... sort of."

"Japanese high school detectives are so scary!"

Lin Xiao's forehead was covered with sweat. "Teacher Judy, do you have any other questions?"

“No more.” Teacher Judy stuck out her tongue and then threw a coquettish look at Lin Xiao, “BYE, BYE! See you at school tomorrow!”

"..."

The incident was resolved, and Lin Xiao received a reward from the system and a new demon mask.

Mountain spirits: Spirits of mountains, waters, trees, and rocks recorded in Japanese legends. They are said to live in old trees and rocks. Although they are not evil spirits, they have the nature of watching over people in the mountains and fields, and sometimes appear in the form of people or monsters to warn people.

Special abilities: Wandering bloodline, can quickly drift to a certain place.

……

The next day at noon, Teitan High School.

Not only did Xiaolan bring Lin Xiao her handmade bento, Yuanzi also brought Lin Xiao a luxurious bento made by her family's chef.

Lin Xiao was not surprised when faced with two sumptuous lunch boxes, but instead broke out in a cold sweat.

"Eh? Yuanzi, did you bring a lunch box for Lin Xiao as well?"

"Yeah... I saw you, Xiaolan, bring a lunch box for Lin Xiao. If I don't bring any, wouldn't it seem like I have no loyalty?"

"Okay." Xiaolan raised her index finger towards Lin Xiao, "You must finish my portion."

Yuanzi laughed and said, "Don't leave any of my portion!"

Lin Xiao: “Yes…”

Lin Xiao decided that starting from today, he would skip breakfast and dinner at school and only have lunch.

Chapter 37 A Request from Kudo Yukiko

It was Schrödinger's holiday again, and Lin Xiao received a call from Yukiko Kudo.

My aunt's soft voice came from the phone.

"Lin Xiao, it's you, I didn't call the wrong number!"

"Aunt Yukiko, is there something wrong?"

"Um, Lin Jun, Auntie has something to ask of you."

"whats the matter?"

"As you know, my husband is investigating that organization and is too busy to attend to everything. Therefore, he gave me a commission, and I thought of asking you to help me..."

"Why are you looking for me?"

"You're just a high school detective. If not you, who else should I look for?"

"Aunt Yukiko, you really know how to bother people."

"I won't trouble you in vain. After this is over, I'll take you to Sapporo to ski."

"..."

After hearing the reward given by Kudo Yukiko, Lin Xiao was speechless. He had good reason to suspect that Kudo Yukiko herself wanted to go skiing in Sapporo.

"Are you going to agree or not?" Kudo Yukiko's impatient voice came from the phone, "Don't forget, I'm a member of your Phantom Thieves!"
