Conan: I can see keywords

This time, Lingchuan reached out and really felt a trace of liquid.

Then there was a nauseating feeling of dizziness, and the scene in front of my eyes began to spin and turn upside down.

In this regard, Lingchuan finally knew why he was admitted to the hospital!

It seems...the notebook also charges some price when granting him abilities.

Yes, how could something so magical be without a price?

As long as he uses his detective ability and carefully thinks about the possibilities brought by all the clues, he will have nosebleeds, feel dizzy, and even pass out.

But the first time he used his ability, he just had a nosebleed and no further symptoms occurred.

"It seems that I can't use the abilities granted by the notebook continuously..."

This was the last thought that flashed through Lingchuan's mind before he lost consciousness.

Chapter 13 Starting

"Lingchuan, your phone keeps ringing~"

Lingchuan, who was working hard to move the goods, raised his head and asked, "Who?"

"Let me see... there's no note. It's an unfamiliar number."

Unfamiliar number?

Lingchuan put down the goods in his hand and strode into the room.

Today is the seventh day since he was discharged from the hospital and resumed normal work.

Ever since he figured out the limitations of the notebook in the hospital last time, he has rarely used this ability of "detective".

However, he never slacked off for a single day in adding new words.

Now open the first page of the notebook, and you can clearly see the latest words he added at the bottom: top-secret base, acting skills.

The term 'top secret base' is reserved for Poker headquarters.

The 100 million yen in his hand seemed like a lot, but it was obviously a fantasy to expect to use it to successfully build a base with comprehensive facilities.

They can’t even solve the venue problem, let alone the procurement of facilities and equipment.

Another reason is that even if he really has enough money to complete the preparations for the base, Lingchuan does not intend to do so.

Procurement of facilities, installation of training equipment, etc., requires people, right?

The more people know about it, the more likely Poker's secret will be exposed.

Lingchuan does not have the ability to eliminate everyone involved in building Poker, so using a notebook is the best option.

Of course, the notebook is so magical that he has thought about getting it done in one go.

He wanted to add bases, talents, and power distribution through the notebook's ability to add words.

But, this doesn't seem to work.

When Lingchuan tried to add new words, he could feel the spiritual connection between the notebook and himself by concentrating.

It sounds magical, and it is magical indeed.

If Lingchuan finds that the connection is successfully established, it means that the word can be added. If the connection is not successfully established, it means that the word cannot be added.

When Lingchuan tried to do it all at once, the notebook never responded, but as a second choice, if he only needed a 'top secret base', the notebook would allow it.

If using the abilities granted by the notebook did not require a price, Lingchuan really wanted to use his "detective" abilities to carefully study what the restrictions in these added words were.

But later on I thought, it’s good to have restrictions. The existence of such restrictions has to some extent curbed Lingchuan’s unlimitedly expanding ambitions.

Otherwise, it is possible that one day he suddenly feels tired of the world and drags the world to be buried with him.

But... as for the current function of the notebook...?

"Even if I want to drag someone to be buried with me, it doesn't seem to be difficult?"

'I just don't know if the notebook can be used to kill people.'

The thoughts in his heart were becoming more and more dangerous, but when Lingchuan answered the phone, he did not show the slightest emotion that he should not have.

"Who is it?"

"It's me..." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little childish.

Lingchuan remembered.

Although the money he has may not be enough to build a base, it is obviously enough to recruit soldiers.

But his way of finding people is a little special.

He had no idea whether there was a dark web in the world. Even if there was, it was not worth it for him to spend fifteen days finding a way to enter it.

So, Lingchuan took some time to go to Osaka.

There is such a place in Osaka that is despised by the world. When people hear the name of that place, they will subconsciously frown.

That place is called 'Doya' street.

Those living there are either gangsters, criminals, prostitutes, bankrupts, people whose families have been broken up, or homeless people.

In short, anyone who has a decent life would not want to have anything to do with the people on Doya Street.

Not even children.

No one would look down on people coming out of that place.

But such a place is the best place for Lingchuan to "recruit troops" at present.

The notebook did not seem to allow him to fabricate a person. He could add identities, backgrounds, and strengths at will, but if he wanted to fabricate a person who was all-powerful or outstanding in some aspect,

is not allowed.

This is also a limitation of notebook usage.

But it doesn’t matter if you can’t fabricate it.

The ability that the notebook can empower has solved a lot of problems for him.

It is true that Doya Street is full of bad people, but not everyone is a bad person from the beginning.

The more unfortunate one's birth is, the more likely it is that ruthless people will appear.

They can do anything to escape from their current situation.

Even children are the same.

The time Lingchuan went to Osaka was to look for such a person.

Fortunately, he took a fancy to a fifteen-year-old boy.

When we first met, the boy's face did not have the decadence and depravity that most people on Doya Street have.

Nor is there the uncontrollable ferocity of the gang members who live here.

The boy is like a normal person. He is out of tune with everything on Doya Street, but he really belongs there.

Lingchuan was not stupid enough to show up and contact the boy, but left him a phone number and a line of words.

'Make up your mind and make this call.'

Nothing else.

No normal person would just pick up a piece of paper on the ground and call the number on it, right?

But desperate people will.

Of course there is a Doya Street in Tokyo, but since this is the first time he has done something like this, Lingchuan hopes to be as cautious as possible.

There are two options: choosing nearby and choosing across regions. Of course, the latter is more difficult to check.

If the plan fails, it can give Lingchuan more buffer time.

He is not doing charity, he only wants capable people when recruiting soldiers.

Task assessment is a good way to test it.

Once the person who was assessed failed the task, Lingchuan would give up on him and choose a new one. Under this premise, he would of course ensure his own safety first.

However, Lingchuan obviously underestimated the boy's caution. It took seven whole days, so long that he almost forgot about the matter, before the boy called him.

Holding the phone, Ling Chuan said with a smile, "Have you made a decision?"

In Poker, he has already made a preliminary idea of ​​the positioning of the 54 cards.

He doesn't need to personally go out to recruit cards other than the joker, Ace and face cards. Needless to say, the joker is himself.

In addition, Lingchuan also added another identity to himself - the Ace of Hearts.

The Heart card is responsible for intelligence gathering.

As the Ace, it made sense for him to find a candidate who looked pretty good for the organization.

The young man on the phone was silent for a long time. He said in a low voice, "How can you help me?"

"If you pass the assessment, you can have everything you want."

Lingchuan replied confidently.

The existence of the notebook gives him the confidence.

Even if the notebook has limitations in use, its unreasonable aspects can fool many people if just a little bit of them are revealed.

By then, there will be plenty of people available to work for Poker.

"What is the content of the assessment?"

Lingchuan looked up at the sun outside and said, "Come to Tokyo and the assessment content will appear at the appropriate time and place."

After saying that, Lingchuan hung up the phone.

As for the young man on the other end of the phone, how did a man who had fallen to Doya Street fly from Osaka to Tokyo?

That's not what Lingchuan should care about.

If he can't even do this, it means that the boy doesn't even have the chance to pass the assessment.
