Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

"This is normal. Higurashi Shrine was originally just a small shrine, and especially after Mr. Higurashi passed away in a car accident more than ten years ago, most of the shrine's operations were suspended."

We long-time residents, however, occasionally go to get a fortune slip or something.

Yin Kong suddenly realized that Japan has always been lenient in its management of religion, and similar folk beliefs are rampant in Tokyo.

He's new here, so it's impossible for him to find them all within two or three months.

"Manager Inoue, may I come along?"

"of course can."

Store manager Inoue naturally wouldn't refuse.

After all, Yin Kong had just helped him capture Matsubara Takashi. Although the cat was dead and could never be brought back to life, the capture of the criminal made up for most of the loss.

Led by Mr. Inoue, the three of them quickly arrived at Higurashi Shrine with the cold, hard "sapphire".

Before even entering the shrine, Yin Kong could already see the sacred tree, which was said to have developed a spiritual nature, from afar:

"Sure enough, that's it."

Although they were different in size, he recognized it at a glance as the divine tree that burned itself alongside [Yata-u] to fight against the giant hand of the abyss.

To Yin Kong's surprise, the shrine that enshrines the sacred tree is now not so peaceful either.

Because Kagome Higurashi, the only daughter of the Higurashi family, has been missing for almost a day.

According to Kagome Higurashi's younger brother, Sota Higurashi, his sister was actually kidnapped by a monster that suddenly appeared in the well.

"They were captured by a monster?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was initially somewhat worried, couldn't help but have a strange expression after hearing this answer.

The other members of the Higurashi family also seemed to doubt such strange claims.

After all, Higurashi Sota is only nine years old and has just started third grade in elementary school, yet he is saying such absurd and unrestrained things.

But apart from that, they couldn't find any other clues.

"Mr. Yin Kong, you're a detective?! That's wonderful! Can you help us find Kagome?"

Upon hearing the three's purpose, especially Yin Kong's identity, Kagome Higurashi's grandfather immediately grasped Yin Kong's hand tightly and pleaded, as if he had found a lifeline.

"Of course, please be patient. May I ask Sota a few questions first?" Yin Kong reassured the elderly man, whose hair and beard were already gray, before looking at the somewhat nervous Sota. "Sota, do you remember exactly when the monster kidnapped your sister?"

Higurashi Kusanagi paused for a moment, then replied:

"It was yesterday evening, around seven o'clock."

Yin Kong nodded slightly, because this was almost the same moment yesterday when [Bataiwu] was grabbed by the giant hand of the abyss and burned itself along with the sacred wood.

Could it be that the shrine was originally suppressing some powerful demon, and took advantage of the opportunity of the sacred tree fighting against the abyss to kidnap Kagome Higurashi?

Noticing Yin Kong's thoughtful expression, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Yin Kong, was there anything special about 7 o'clock last night?"

That's really special.

First came Emperor Gin, who shattered Shinichi Kudo's detective dream with a single blow; then came the invasion of the Abyss, which disrupted the time order of the entire world.

In comparison, the disappearance of just one female junior high school student seems utterly insignificant.

Of course, he obviously couldn't tell the truth, and only said casually:

"Look, isn't there a saying about the time of twilight here? I think it's quite reasonable for his sister to encounter a monster at that time."

Yukinoshita Yukino:......

With her intelligence, how could she not see that Yin Kong was just casually brushing her off?

But since the other party didn't want to talk, it was obvious that she wouldn't get any results if she continued to ask.

Higurashi Sota, however, exclaimed excitedly:

"Detective brother, are you willing to believe me?"

Whether it was his sister's sudden disappearance or his grandfather's and mother's suspicions, he felt extremely wronged.

After all, you still have a big blue exclamation mark above your head.

Yin Kong smiled and patted the little guy's head, then asked:

"Could you take me to see that well? By the way, do you remember what the monster that kidnapped your sister looked like?"

Higurashi Sota quickly said:

"That monster... it was too dark, I couldn't see it very clearly, I only remember that it had very long hair and many white hands, it was very scary..."

Yin Kong asked curiously:

"Many white hands? Are they human hands, or like the claws of a wild beast?"

Higurashi Sota recalled for a moment and immediately said:

"Just like a human hand."

"And what about the hair color?"

Yukino Yukinoshita and the Higurashi family followed behind the two, listening to the questions and answers between Insora and Sota, their expressions gradually becoming strange.

Because she had already realized that Higurashi Sota's answer was perfectly correct.

Logically speaking, if it were just a lie made up on the spot, it would be easy for it to slip up under Yin Kong's questioning, or even become self-contradictory.

But Higurashi Sota not only answered very quickly, but he also couldn't find many flaws in his answer.

Can a child under ten years old really have such realistic acting skills?

But do monsters really exist in this world?

The girl shook her head, thinking she must be overthinking things.

"Is this right here?"

Following the mission prompt, Yin Kong opened the warehouse door of the Higurashi Shrine and indeed saw a point of light floating above the ancient well, prompting him to go and investigate.

"Nothing at all?"

Yin Kong noticed that the well cover, which originally covered the ancient well, still bore traces of violent destruction.

However, the inside of the ancient well was quite clean. Apart from some moss and other vegetation, there was nothing else inside, and there was nothing special about it.

Higurashi Sota quickly said:

"My sister really did disappear into the well, you have to believe me!"

"Don't worry, I believe you."

While comforting Higurashi Sota, Yin Kong opened the system interface.

He had just heard a system notification that sounded like the game had been unlocked.

Could this ancient well be another replica of a sacred relic or a material?

However, upon opening the system interface, Yin Kong quickly saw a circular door filled with a bluish-black light, with four very familiar characters marked on it—

Spiral Abyss.

Excuse me, farewell!

Yin Kong gasped and immediately closed the gate to the Spiral Abyss again.

Chapter 53 Tears

The Spiral Abyss, or what players often call the Abyss, is one of the greatest challenges for players in Genshin Impact.

While there are newer, more challenging challenges such as Local Legends and Dark Realm Battles, generally speaking, achieving a full-star Abyss means that the player's two teams of characters are basically ready for graduation in terms of training level.

Yin Kong glanced at the levels of the monsters on the first level and knew that he didn't need to consider it for the time being.

After all, including Yin Kong himself, he had only just managed to assemble a team of four characters.

Moreover, apart from Zhongli being level 20, the resources he currently has are only enough to raise Jiuqi Ren and Fischl to level 10.

As for his talent and artifacts, they are even more unbearable to look at.

Most importantly, Zhongli has already tried, and he has no way to convert Mora into divine power in the dungeon.

[Clear the twelfth floor of the Abyss, or wait until two days later].

Is this Kagome Higurashi the legendary goddess Athena, whom he needs to conquer the twelfth floor of the abyss to find?

Sure enough, no one knows what kind of monsters and demons will appear in world quests.

Fortunately, judging from the mission prompts, things seem to be turning around in two days?

"Mr. Yin Kong, have you found any clues?"

Kagome's grandfather and mother looked at Yoon Sora with extreme anxiety, because he was their only hope now.

Do you have a flashlight?

To everyone's astonishment, Yin Kong lightly leaped into the well, stopping in the center.

"Look here."

At his prompting, everyone noticed a small piece of clothing in the spotlight.

Because the well was too deep and the light inside was too dim, they hadn't been able to find it before.

"Is this the color of Kagome's school uniform?"

Kagome's grandfather was both surprised and delighted.

Until last night, the ancient well in the shrine had been sealed with a talisman.

The existence of this piece of clothing is at least enough to prove that Kagome Higurashi did indeed fall into this ancient well after last night.

After taking his photos, Yin Kong searched the bottom of the well carefully for a while before climbing back up.

"Such exaggerated eyesight, such outrageous skills, is this the quality of a professional detective?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a surge of admiration.

If it were her, even with the help of professional tools, it would take her a lot of effort to climb out of the well, right?

Moreover, the ability to spot evidence at a glance is truly absurd.

"Mr. Yin Kong, have you made any other discoveries?"

Kagome's family immediately gathered around. Yin Kong's performance just now had clearly given them a lot of confidence, and they naturally hoped that he could find more clues.

However, Yin Kong was destined to disappoint them.

He currently lacked both the martial prowess to unlock the secrets of the zodiac and the ability to simply wait for two days to pass, so he could only shake his head and say:

"Unfortunately, there was no secret room at the bottom of the well, nor any further traces. Miss Kagome seems to have vanished into thin air; it's very strange..."

Could it really be a monster?

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Keep in mind that from the moment the siblings ran to the warehouse last night until Higurashi Sota ran back in a panic to ask them for help, the entire time could not have exceeded five minutes.

If Kagome Higurashi really did fall into the well, she probably wouldn't have been able to climb out of the well in such a short time, let alone disappear completely.

Unless, of course, there is a force beyond reason involved.

Yin Kong pondered for a moment, then spoke again:

"Well, we have another member at the Cunning Rabbit House who is a professional folklorist. If it were him, he might be able to spot some issues. However, he is currently abroad and won't be back for another two days."

Kagome's family members were naturally not able to accept this timing:

"Can't it be any faster?"

Even if Kagome Higurashi were just an ordinary thug, let alone the possibility that she was kidnapped by a demon, by now, things should have ended long ago.

Yin Kong shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, this is the fastest we can go. But before that, you can continue to search the area and ask around; perhaps you can find some new clues."

Everyone was naturally disappointed.

They must have tried all of these, but clearly they had all come up empty-handed.
