Conan Rick's Investigator

As the visual aftereffects of the white light gradually faded away, the scene before everyone changed.

The limitations of three-dimensional space seem to be opened at this moment.

The floor of the theater turned into a vast green prairie, overhead was the azure sky and naturally flowing white clouds, and countless holy white lights descended upon everyone.

Spider, hanging in the air, tapped his fingertips like a creator, and the nine children on the seats flew up into the sky. Their clothes automatically changed into white clothes, and wings grew on their backs. They flew beside Spider.

Everyone's attention was attracted by this holy scene. Even Kuroba Kaito and Koizumi Akako, who were very unconvinced just now, opened their mouths slightly and stared at everything in the sky in surprise.

Among these thousands of people, only Qin Zhibo, who had a will of steel, could take his eyes off this stunning scene.

At the moment when Spider transformed the theater into a prairie, Qin Zhibo received a prompt from the system.

[Under attack from magical illusions, my willpower is weakening...]

90, 89, 88...

The speed at which willpower decreases is not fast, it only decreases by 10 point every 1 seconds.

This is not the first time that Qin Zhibo has been attacked by magic and his will has weakened. The last time was on the Suzuki family's cruise ship, where he was trapped by a magic necklace made by Koizumi Hongzi.

Since the system has such a prompt, it means that what Spider uses is indeed not some kind of technology, magic or other quackery, but real magic.

As long as it's magic, I should be able to extract the magic power...

Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo raised the hand wearing the magic extractor.

A wonderful scene happened. In the area where the white glove passed, the holy halo and green grassland disappeared.

Instead, there was a dark theater stage, and Spider could be seen hanging alone above the stage, with no child-like angels around him.

However, in the areas not passed by other magic extractors, everything was like a dream world. The holy halo and beautiful prairie were not affected at all.

Could it be that the magic extractor can deal with illusions like cleaning glass, erasing the contents of the illusion in the field of vision?

Just like that, Qin Zhibo, sitting in his seat, began to "clean the glass"...

Meanwhile, Spider, suspended in mid-air, was enjoying the scene before him.

Looking down at the thousands of audience members in the theater who were being controlled by him, Spider felt like he was the creator of this dream world and could control everything in it at will.

The whole audience was obsessed with him, and Spider had a wicked smile on his face.

Wherever I look, I see foolish people controlled by illusions!

As long as he thought about it, the quiet and harmonious grassland under his feet would immediately turn into a raging crater, and everyone in the theater would fall into chaos.

At this moment, the confident yet slightly evil expression on Spider's face froze for a moment.

Because he saw someone in the audience who was out of place among the obsessed audience around him.

The audience member was actually performing a talent for him - cleaning windows!

Chapter 244: Two at a Glance

Everyone in the audience was frozen in place, except for a man in a brown windbreaker who was waving his hands wildly.

The action is very conspicuous and looks like wiping glass.

This unscientific!

The expression on Spider's face changed from confidence to surprise.

Because everyone is under the control of his illusion, it is impossible for anyone to move their body at will, let alone such a large-scale movement.

The man sitting on the seat suddenly stood up and started to "wipe the glass" in another direction with his white-gloved hands.

What is the special meaning of his behavior?

Spider frowned, his hands still maintaining the planned performance movements, but he decided in his heart to continue observing the only two people in the theater who could move freely besides himself.

……

Sitting in his seat, Qin Zhibo used the magic extractor to wipe the field of view in front of him.

When the false vision woven by the illusion faded, the dim stage was revealed behind it, and even Spider's figure could only be seen as a dark outline, highlighted by the scarlet light emitted from the huge spider's eyes behind him.

However, by only erasing the illusion in his frontal field of vision, Qin Zhibo did not gain even a single point of magic power.

Qin Zhibo was unwilling to give up, so he turned around and started wiping the area next to him.

The range of this illusion is 360° with no blind spots, so up and down, front and back, left and right, as long as Qin Zhibo can see it, it can be erased.

Soon, Qin Zhibo wiped the void around him like a cleaner.

At this time, the magic value on the magic extractor barely jumped up by 1 point.

It seems that the group illusion cast by Spider actually has little magic power when it is distributed to each person.

When wiping the vision in front and behind, Qin Zhibo deliberately made his movements very large, even standing up completely from his seat to block the view of the audience behind him.

But the audience behind him was still staring at the sky in fascination, not affected at all.

Everyone seems to be wearing VR equipment and can't feel what is happening in reality...

This skill is very suitable for thieves to steal wallets...

While wiping the view behind him, Qin Zhibo saw a special audience.

Everyone was sitting in their seats, except for him, who was standing at the rear exit, as if he could also escape the control of the illusion like himself.

Qin Zhibo zoomed in a little closer with the telescope and realized that he was overthinking.

The young man named Bai Ba Tan was also staring at Spider above the stage, but the expression on his face was not as obsessed.

Qin Zhibo looked at Koizumi Hongzi on his right, and saw that Koizumi Hongzi was also staring at the same direction in the sky as the other spectators.

Although Koizumi Akako's eyes were equally obsessed, the smile at the corner of her mouth twitched unnaturally.

It seems that Miss Witch couldn't escape Spider's illusion either, but she knew it was an illusion, so she was struggling hard.

However, judging from the system prompts he received, illusion is a kind of mental attack item, and its main function is to reduce willpower.

I've investigated Koizumi Hongzi's willpower, and this self-proclaimed sole heir to the Red Magic Family actually has a pretty low willpower...

He waved the magic extractor in front of Koizumi Hongzi's eyes, but it was of no use. Koizumi Hongzi was still staring into the sky in a daze.

In that case...

At this moment when Koizumi Hongzi was unable to move, Qin Zhibo made a decision that went against his ancestors.

That is to place the right hand wearing the magic power extractor on Koizumi Hongzi's slender wrist openly.

When the magic extractor came into contact with Koizumi Hongzi's skin, her magic value increased rapidly.

……

Spider, hanging on a wire in mid-air, maintained the performance he had already mastered by heart while quietly watching the man in the brown windbreaker on the ground.

His actions had been restrained just now, but now he was becoming more and more outrageous. He even stood up from his seat and stretched out his hand to test the reactions of the people around him.

then……

Grab the wrist of the lady next to you!

He is actually a freeloader!

I was actually tricked by this kind of person!

Outrageous!

Spider was getting angrier and angrier, but the performance had already lasted over three minutes.

The consumption of magic power by group illusions is still very terrifying, even he cannot maintain it for too long.

Spider raised his hand unwillingly and snapped his fingers. The sound of the snap echoed in everyone's heart, and darkness swallowed up all the light, and the illusion was instantly lifted.

The moment the illusion was lifted, Qin Zhibo also noticed it immediately, because Qin Zhibo did not wipe out the entire illusion vision, but deliberately left a small area.

When the illusion in this area suddenly disappears, Qin Zhibo will know that the magic show is over.

Qin Zhibo immediately retracted his hand and pretended nothing had happened.

Everyone stared at the theater that had suddenly returned to normal for about ten seconds before they finally reacted and burst into warm applause.

Amidst warm applause, Spider stood on the stage under the spotlight and politely gave his final greeting to the audience, but his eyes looked in the direction of Qin Zhibo with some resentment.

At the same time, the three people on Qin Zhibo's side had different expressions on their faces.

Kuroba Kaito held his arms high, with a confident smile on his lips.

Although he was indeed shocked by the performance of this world-class illusionist, Kuroba Kaito had already figured out the principle behind it all.

"Just as I expected, he must have used the latest digital imaging effects, combined with collective hypnosis, to present this performance..."

Qin Zhibo thought about it and felt that Kuroba Kaito might be talking about holographic projection technology.

But as a future man in a sense, Qin Zhibo knew that it was impossible for this technology to be so realistic and large-scale.

Besides, it’s the 20th century now, and holographic projection technology is really something we can dream of.

But Koizumi Hongzi on the side gave a different answer.

"That's not some high-tech technique, but an illusion that was popular in this world for a while."

"In the final analysis, it's just copying and imitating our witches' magic, some tricks to wither insects..."

Koizumi Hongzi seemed to be explaining impatiently, but Qin Zhibo knew that she was just unwilling to accept it in her heart.

He was unwilling to accept that he had been fooled by the "insect-killing trick".

"Humph--"

"People like you magicians are all our enemies."

Qin Zhibo: This young lady really likes to create imaginary enemies for herself.

"Okay!"

"The show is over, let's get out before the crowd leaves..."

As Kuroba Kaito spoke, he stood up and looked back towards the exit, just in time to see a handsome young man with brown hair looking gloomily at the illusionist who was thanking the stage.

this person……

At this time, Bai Ma Tan, who was standing at the exit, also keenly felt that someone was staring at him.

His gaze moved and happened to meet Kuroba Kaito's.

Chapter 245: Take a chance and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!

Kuroba Kaito and Hakuba Tan frowned at the same time, and had the same thought in their hearts.

Who is that guy?

There were two reasons why Kuroba Kaito noticed Hakuba Tan in the crowd at a glance.

First of all, the young man was standing in the corridor in front of the exit watching the performance on the stage from afar, but Kuroba Kaito didn't remember that standing tickets were sold for this performance.

Secondly, the boy was dressed very formally. His dark blue suit reminded Kuroba Kaito of the high school detective Kudo Shinichi.

He's wearing the same clothes as Kudo Shin, is he another detective?

The main reason why Hakuba Tan noticed Kuroba Kaito was that he saw Koizumi Anko, who was as red as fire, standing next to him.

What a beautiful lady...

Could the boy next to him be his boyfriend?

Probably not... If it's a date between two people, there shouldn't be an older man around to act as a third wheel.

Bai Matan saw from the car that the girl with crimson hair, the boy who looked a little weird, and the uncle in the brown windbreaker were together.

only……

Bai Ma Tan suddenly remembered something and quickly took out the pocket watch in his arms.

Oops!

Going to be late!
