Conan, no longer angry, finally calmed down and began to think:

"Dad, do you mean that if my situation is exposed, I'll be targeted by even more people immediately?"

Yusaku Kudo patted his head and explained:

"Not more people, but almost everyone."

He did have a very good relationship with the FBI, but no matter how good the relationship was, the FBI was ultimately not owned by the Kudo family.

Even if Yusaku Kudo is willing to believe in his friend's character, sitting in certain positions, many decisions are not entirely within his own control.

Not to mention, just recently, Yusaku Kudo had received a request for help from an old friend.

The other party realized that there was a traitor in their team and hoped that his extremely intelligent friend could help him find the traitor.

However, there's no need to go into such detail about these specific petty and despicable acts.

At this point, Yusaku Kudo's tone became serious, and he said earnestly:

"Although Mr. Yin Kong was just playing a little joke on us, Shinichi, once your identity is exposed, this may no longer be just a joke."

Your value is enough to make the world's top mercenary groups, and even various national powers, personally vie for you. Although they may not all possess Mr. Yin Kong's golden character, their strength is probably no less than that of the Cunning Rabbit House..."

Conan's expression suddenly turned serious.

Even though he now knows that what he just experienced was just a joke, the sorrow and despair of watching his loved ones being killed while he was powerless to do anything still makes him feel lingering fear when he thinks about it.

Prior to this, Conan knew that his identity needed to be kept secret, but he was more concerned about the threat from the Black Organization, feeling that he would face their pursuit if his identity was exposed.

But it wasn't until Yusaku Kudo brought it up that he finally realized that it wasn't just the Black Organization; all the wealthy and powerful people who coveted immortality were eyeing him.

These forces, however, have no time or inclination to joke with him.

From this perspective, Yin Kong's demonstration was indeed very effective.

"That's right, that's exactly what we were thinking. Hurry up and thank Yin Kong and Paimon!"

Looking at Paimon's smug face, Conan couldn't help but put on a pair of dead fish eyes.

"However, Uncle Yusaku, are you underestimating us? Do you think these random forces can compare to us?"

Paimon has already seen the police in this world. In terms of combat power, they are far inferior to even the thirty-man group in the wilderness, let alone the group of Sumeru.

As for the Black Organization and the Japanese Public Security Bureau, apart from the mysterious Karasuma Renya, they pose no threat whatsoever.

Seeing Paimon's confident expression, Conan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Rabbit House is indeed very powerful, but organizations like the FBI and CIA represent the power of the state apparatus and are absolutely elites among elites.

Do you really think these spies and agents would act like they do in movies and TV shows, faking their deaths and escaping without even putting on makeup, just openly strolling around the streets every day?

Chapter 235 The visitor

"I understand. I will be careful in the future and will never reveal my true identity."

Clearly, Conan's experience this time was unforgettable, which is why his words were spoken with such sincerity.

Yusaku Kudo nodded with satisfaction. Although the process had been a little bumpy, he was very pleased with the result.

As for Yin Kong, he said with a smile:

"To be honest, Conan, I still prefer your old, unruly self. If you were hunted down by various forces because your identity was exposed, that would be quite a sight, wouldn't it?"

"Brother Yin Kong, I was wrong. Please be lenient!"

Upon noticing the eager look on Yin Kong's face, Conan instinctively shuddered and, without hesitation, chose to slide to his knees and admit defeat.

He has personally experienced this talent for finding amusement.

If he could, he would rather be Xiaolan's karate practice dummy than become Yin Kong's source of amusement again.

Seeing Conan so quickly grasp the concept of "discretion is the better part of valor," Yin Kong felt a little regretful.

Seeing that everyone had finished discussing important matters, Professor Agasa, who had been hesitating for a long time, finally found an opportunity to ask nervously:

"By the way, Yin Kong, is this hair growth formula you gave me genuine?"

Dr. Agasa was asking about the gift that Yoon Kong had given him when he pretended to test him. Although Yoon Kong spoke of it in a very serious manner when he introduced it, since it was to test whether Yoon Kong had been kidnapped, it was probably just made up.

Yin Kong naturally noticed Professor Agasa's anxiety and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Doctor, I prepared this gift a long time ago. It just so happens that I have to use it today. Except for the instruction manual, which was written on the spot, everything else is genuine."

It was clear that Professor Agasa breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said gratefully:

"Thank you for your trouble."

Yin Kong thought for a moment and said:

"It's just a small favor. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be effective in two months at most."

"Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Agasa was naturally very excited.

He had actually tried quite a few hair growth formulas and secret recipes, but unfortunately the effects were minimal.

But Yin Kong's guarantee was naturally very substantial, giving him full confidence.

However, this also put him in a bit of a dilemma: what kind of return gift should he choose?

While Professor Agasa was troubled, Conan suddenly remembered something and asked with great curiosity:

"By the way, Brother Yin Kong, Sister Jiu Qiren poked me just now, and I couldn't move at all. How did she do that?"

Conan felt as if he had been electrocuted, but he was certain that it was not caused by the stun gun.

An interested look also appeared in Yusaku Kudo's eyes.

He was actually very curious about the origins of the Rabbit House, especially its incredible skills, which were just like those of a real ninja from a movie.

Faced with Conan's curious gaze, Yin Kong thought for a moment, then deliberately lowered his voice and asked mysteriously:

"Well, Conan, have you ever heard of a breathing technique called 'Ripple'?"

"Ripple Breathing Technique?"

Conan was taken aback. He felt that the name sounded familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

Kudo Yusaku asked with a helpless expression:

"Is the ripple breathing method that Mr. Yin Kong mentioned a kind of qigong that generates life energy similar to sunlight in the body through a special breathing frequency?"

"Huh?" Yin Kong looked at Kudo Yusaku in surprise and asked in confusion, "So—so Mr. Yusaku also knows about the Ripple Breathing Technique?"

Yusaku Kudo chuckled and reminded him:

"Of course, I am a writer after all. Although I mainly focus on mystery, I will still read well-known works such as 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'... By the way, I am actually quite disappointed that Mr. Yin Kong did not take out the chocolate just now."

With Yusaku Kudo's reminder, Conan finally understood why the name sounded familiar: it was a setting from a manga.

Yes, in this world of Detective Conan, there are indeed Araki and JoJo.

However, it's still the early 1990s, so JOJO is still just a manga, and even the old anime hasn't been released yet, let alone the new anime that Yin Kong is most familiar with.

Of course, considering the magical timeline of this Detective Conan world, Yin Kong felt that he might be able to watch familiar anime again soon.

"Wait, Dad, do you mean that the bet Yin Kong made with me just now was actually a scene from a comic book?"

Conan belatedly realized what was happening and finally understood where his father had started to discover the truth.

After all, if Yin Kong were truly filled with murderous intent, how could he possibly have the leisure to imitate classic scenes from comics?

"I'm so sorry, please wait a moment." Yin Kong thought for a moment, then held up one finger. "Hey, have you ever heard of elemental power?"

Conan subconsciously looked at his father and noticed Yusaku Kudo asking in confusion:

Which elemental force?

Because the concept of elemental power is not uncommon in various fantasy works, he was not sure which one Yin Kong was referring to.

Yin Kong continued:

"It's the elemental power from Genshin Impact."

"Genshin Impact?" Yusaku Kudo frowned and thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I've never heard of it."

"It's good that you haven't heard of it. Let's start again." Yin Kong looked relieved, cleared his throat, and began to recite, "Back then, there was no boundary between life and death in the world. Consciousness flowed among countless beings. There was once a primordial life that ruled over the planet, causing three moons to break free from the earth and rise..."

Although you sound very mysterious and make it sound very convincing, this is obviously a story setting copied from somewhere else, isn't it?

Conan wanted to slap himself in the eye to express his speechlessness.

What made him even more speechless was that his father, Kudo Yusaku, seemed completely oblivious to the fact that Yin Kong was just being perfunctory. Instead, he listened with great interest and even seriously discussed the ambiguous settings in the story with Yin Kong.

Is this what the adult world is like?

Although Conan couldn't understand what he was hearing, he was deeply shocked.

After having a pleasant conversation with Yusaku Kudo for more than ten minutes, Yin Kong suddenly received a text message from Nanami Aoyama.

She told Yin Kong that a very strange child had come to the Cunning Rabbit House, specifically asking to see him, and was carrying a water-attribute God's Eye.

Chapter 236 Visitors

"Paimon, we should head back too."

After seeing the text message, Yin Kong decided not to stay any longer and disturb the Kudo family's reunion.

After all, although their main purpose was to amuse their beloved son, the Kudo couple must have come all the way from America to say many things that they couldn't say to him, an outsider.

After teleporting Paimon and Ren back to the Rabbit House, Yin Kong soon met the "little friend" from Aoyama Nanami's text message.

As expected, this was a silver-haired boy dressed in black. He was Gin, who had shrunk after taking the A drug and then went to his master in the Abyss (Ajax) for further training before returning.

At this moment, however, Gin seemed to be getting a little red, because he was playing rock-paper-scissors with Orloren and losing every time.

Yin Kong watched at least five or six rounds and found that he hadn't won even once, and his expression was starting to show signs of losing control.

Yin Kong was slightly puzzled:

"Oloren, why are you guys playing rock-paper-scissors?"

In his memory, with the occasional exception, this grandson was not a person who liked to join in the fun.

Most of the time, he preferred to spend time with his vegetable worms and Nata's little animals.

“You’re back, Grandpa Diamond Pickaxe, and also Paimon and Grandma Hisahi.” O’Loren greeted them very politely before replying, “Because I sensed that a strange fellow has appeared.”

What a weird guy?

Yin Kong looked at Qin Jiu and quickly realized:

So that's how it is. Ororen must have sensed the abyssal power emanating from Gin, which is why he came out to check on things.

As one of Nata's six heroes, he couldn't possibly turn a blind eye to the power of the abyss.

Yin Kong nodded inwardly and looked to the other side, at Gin, whose body was tense to the extreme, as if he were about to attack at any moment, and asked:

"I heard someone sent you to find me?"

If Gin were a cat, his fur would be standing on end right now.

Clearly, before Yin Kong spoke, he had no idea that someone had approached him from behind to this extent.

Given his current transformed strength, this is already a terrifying thing.

Of course, it wasn't just Yin Kong and Jiu Qi Ren who had just returned to the store. Apart from the innocent-looking Aoyama Nanami, Oulun, and the two girls who had only briefly appeared earlier, he instinctively sensed a kind of rejection and threat from them that was hard to describe.

It's as if the powers they wield are inherently incompatible.

Especially the man in front of him, Ollen, in Gin's perception, was not just someone he vaguely felt repulsed by; the intense sense of threat emanating from him made him feel as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

Otherwise, would Gin be the type to obediently play rock-paper-scissors with someone?

Moreover, he kept losing and never won a single game!

"You are the traveler?"

Gin frowned as he looked at the calm man in front of him. The scene from several months ago, when the man had pinned him to the ground with one hand, flashed through his mind. A strong anger suddenly rose in his heart, making him want to take revenge.

However, just as this anger arose, a soft light shone from the water-elemental divine eye he held in his hand, suppressing the sudden surge of evil fire.

“That’s right, we are the Traveler and his best friend Paimon. You actually know us?” Paimon was naturally very surprised, because logically, only their existing friends in this world should know this name. “And you even have the Eye of God?”
