Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

Whether it's a giant, bulky wild boar, a nimble and swift steel falcon, an eight-headed earthworm launching a surprise attack from underground, or a skeleton pirate who can conceal itself with illusions...

No matter how oppressive or bizarre the attack methods of the demons, they all have only one identity: the speed bump in front of a truck.

After "passing" more than twenty world bosses along the way, they finally arrived at the legendary Soubu High before nightfall.

Kagome and the others had naturally received the news long ago and met up with them at the school gate.

"It seems things aren't going too well?"

Seeing Inuyasha's dejected expression, Yin Kong knew that the group had most likely not found any valuable clues.

Hiratsuka Shizuka explained:

"Actually, Mr. Inuyasha did find quite a few clues..."

With his amazing sense of smell, Inuyasha did indeed discover many traces at the scene of the disappearance that they had not noticed.

However, these traces did not reveal the killer's origins; instead, they made the case seem even more bizarre, as the missing persons appeared to have vanished in an instant.

But in any case, at least in the eyes of this passionate female teacher, their investigation was still very valuable.

Moreover, this is a case that even the police are helpless to solve, so it is perfectly normal for the progress to be slow.

"Is that so?" After listening to their experiences, Yin Kong quickly relayed the information from the Metropolitan Police Department to everyone, summarizing, "So the involvement behind this missing persons case may be more complicated than imagined."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned, because theoretically, she should have been the one to provide this crucial evidence.

But clearly, perhaps out of fear of causing panic, or perhaps out of concern for its reputation, the school concealed this information.

On the contrary, Yoon Kong obtained these clues by leveraging his connections with the Metropolitan Police Department.

"A paranormal game?"

Yukino Yukinoshita also looked surprised, but what she cared more about was this so-called game.

"Is it possible that someone deliberately spread similar rumors?"

She knew that supernatural powers existed in this world. If someone were to exploit this, wouldn't they be able to kill someone else and easily create chaos?

"Not very likely."

Yin Kong shook his head.

The police identified three types of paranormal games and investigated their origins.

As a result, the origins of these paranormal games are quite diverse, with some even being old games that have been popular in Tokyo for decades, making it unlikely that someone deliberately spread them so many years in advance.

Similarly, several of these missing persons were actually members of paranormal societies, and similar gatherings had been held more than once before; it just so happened that something went wrong this time.

Chapter 202 Kagome: Mr. Yin Kong must have his reasons for doing this.

"This is all the information we have right now. Finding more crucial clues probably won't be possible in a short time," Yin Kong said, glancing at the sky. "But it's already quite late. Let's continue the investigation tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko's eyes filled with confusion.

Are they disbanding so soon? Then what were they rushing all this way for?

Surely it's not just for those ghosts that are "on the way" and eliminated, is it?

Although the girl was puzzled, she simply stood quietly behind Yin Kong and did not show any further unusual behavior.

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't find it strange, because they had indeed been searching all afternoon, and even with her physical strength, she couldn't help but feel tired.

"Alright, gentlemen, shall I take you back?"

After taking out her car keys, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at everyone and asked.

Aside from Yin Kong, she seemed to be the only adult present.

Now that she knew about the students' disappearance, she naturally couldn't let the students in front of her go home alone.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head and refused:

"No need, Hiratsuka-sensei. I'd like to go to a nearby coffee shop for a drink and rest for a while."

Kagome Higurashi added from the side:

“That’s right, Miss Yukino can come back to the shrine with me for the day and stay there. You won’t encounter any danger.”

Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's weary face, Shizuka Hiratsuka raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling that her student seemed to be hiding some secret in her words.

However, after thinking about it, she didn't expose it:

"Alright then, in that case, let's arrange a time and place to meet tomorrow tonight."

"Oh, Yukino-san has learned to lie too."

After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, Higurashi Kagome looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was clearly relieved, and teased her with a smile.

Given Yukino Yukinoshita's personality, she couldn't bring herself to say something like "it's a white lie," and could only blush and whisper:

"Well, it's not exactly lying, I do need to rest."

As someone who is physically weak, her stamina bar is indeed almost empty and she urgently needs to recover.

I see. The boss said that just to get rid of Hiratsuka-sensei, who is just an ordinary person.

Guided by Yukino Yukinoshita, the group sat down at a nearby cafe, and Miko Yotsuya suddenly realized what was going on.

So, these three are also companions who know about mysterious powers?

Her curious gaze immediately fell on Kagome and the other two.

Inuyasha's characteristics are naturally the most obvious. Even though he uses illusion magic to conceal his half-demon features, his unique attire and the Tessaiga at his waist make him completely unlike an ordinary person.

In comparison, Kagome Higurashi looks just like her, only ordinary—

"Miss Higurashi, are you... are you a Bodhisattva reincarnated?"

After taking off her glasses, Miko Yotsuya looked at Kagome Higurashi, who was staring in disbelief, and asked her question instinctively.

In her eyes, this middle school girl was radiating a holy light, just like a legendary bodhisattva descending to earth.

Who exactly is this Kagome Higurashi?

Even the seemingly superhuman boss Yin Kong didn't exhibit such exaggerated phenomena, did he?

Upon hearing this question, Kagome scratched her cheek sheepishly and explained:

"You're joking. How could I be a Bodhisattva? I'm just an ordinary person with slightly stronger spiritual power."

Before Yotsuya could ask any questions, Yoon Kong explained:

"That's because Miss Kagome hasn't learned to control the spiritual power within her body yet, which is why you're seeing these strange phenomena on her."

Just like Yin Kong back then, he could sense the terrifying spiritual power within Kagome the moment they met, and the scene that manifested in the image was probably what Yotsuya Miko was seeing at this moment.

"I am truly ashamed."

Kagome Higurashi looked ashamed.

Although she can already shoot the slaying arrows with great skill, it is clear that she still has a long way to go before becoming a true priestess and fully controlling the vast spiritual power within her.

This isn't something that requires an apology, is it?

Yotsuya Miko felt a pang of envy, because she had already noticed that, due to this radiance, the ghosts that had originally been lurking around them had automatically moved away from their positions.

Of course, for powerful demons, such undisguised and powerful spiritual energy is as conspicuous as stars in the night or flames in an icy plain.

And there's this one left—

Noticing that Miko Yotsuya's gaze had fallen on her, Yukino Yukinoshita introduced herself as well:

"I'm just an ordinary person who accidentally learned the truth; I don't have any magical powers."

Yotsuya Miko was slightly taken aback.

Although it was somewhat impolite, when she saw Yukino, she couldn't help but think of the legendary yokai known as Yuki-onna.

Not only their names, but even their temperaments are very similar.

Unexpectedly, this person was just an ordinary person.

"This is Yotsuya Miko, kind of an intern at the Sly Rabbit Shop. She has eyes that can see ghosts and monsters, and her flesh and blood should also have an extra attraction to those demons..."

Inuyasha nodded understandingly:

"So you were just an intern."

No wonder his aura was so weak, almost indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person.

Kagome Higurashi and Yukino Yukinoshita, however, felt great sympathy after hearing Yin Kong's description.

This awakened ability is really worse than not having it at all.

Even Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but look up at the sky and begin to question the meaning of life.

Because it was the first time she had ever known that, in addition to being able to hear the harassment of those ghosts, her own flesh and blood also had a special attraction for these terrifying creatures.

What kind of ridiculous ability is this?!

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

After introducing themselves, [Barbatos in his infancy] dispelled the illusion and gracefully walked up to Yukino Yukinoshita, gently rolled over, and revealed his soft belly.

How could a young girl resist such a sincere invitation?

He immediately scooped the magical cat into his arms and gave it a good, satisfying sniff.

While Yukino was engrossed in petting the cat and oblivious to the world around her, Inuyasha also turned serious and asked:

"So, Yin Kong, what is the real plan?"

Yin Kong explained:

"We'll be playing a paranormal game at school early tomorrow morning, and maybe we'll be able to catch the culprit."

"That's it, I understand."

Kagome nodded gently, without asking Yin Kong why she was so confident the murderer would take the bait.

Since Mr. Yin Kong did this, he must have his reasons.

Inuyasha, having caught the keyword, immediately perked up:

"Great! I've been wanting an opponent to test the secret techniques of the Tessaiga!"

Ever since he witnessed the power of the Wind Scar, he has never been able to forget it.

Unfortunately, his elemental mastery is probably not very high, so even if he has mastered the Tessaiga, he would need a strong opponent to cooperate with him to have a chance to comprehend this profound technique.

Chapter 203 Orchid Valley

"Um, boss, should I participate in tomorrow's game?"

On the way home, Miko Yotsuya asked with a slight hesitation.

"That's not necessary. From now on, you just need to record the locations of those powerful monsters, and then every now and then, you can come with me to clear them out."

This person is probably going to be his online support character for farming world bosses in the future, so there's no need to bring him along when doing missions.

"Is...is that so...?"

Miko Yotsuya thought she would breathe a sigh of relief, after all, going to an empty school in the early morning to play a supernatural game was really perfect as the opening scene of a horror movie where no one survives.

However, the girl found that while she was relaxing, a sense of regret was also creeping into her heart.

Ultimately, it probably comes down to a difference in mindset.

Before, she lived cautiously every day, feeling like she was walking on thin ice, and she didn't know if she would ever have the chance to reach the other side.

But now that the pressure of survival has disappeared, the curious nature of the young girl has naturally begun to resurface.

"Thank you for completing today's task. This is your reward."

After receiving the raw stones from Aoyama Nanami, Yin Kong couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

With the daily commission rewards, the achievement rewards from over twenty joint raids, and the "little bit" of sponsorship from the young master, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be able to gather enough for another ten-pull when the card pool refreshes at four o'clock tomorrow.

"By the way, Ms. Sonoko also visited once in the afternoon."

As is only natural, she was unable to see Wan Ye, Zhong Li, or Xiao Lu.

The only grandson who stayed at the firm was still researching planting with Cole in the laboratory.
