Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

"So, Mr. Zhongli wants to debut and become an idol?"

Chapter 79 Press Conference

"Zhongli? Idol? Pfft—" Paimon couldn't help but laugh out loud at first, then his face was filled with anticipation. "Although it's hard to imagine such a scene, I suddenly really want to see what's going on?"

Yin Kong's eyes were also full of curiosity.

It's worth mentioning that before he transmigrated, although he had also drawn the exclusive weapon [Piercing Rainbow Spear] for the old man, he usually carried the girl's magic wand (Sha Zhongweixian's answer).

Moreover, the moment Zhong Li's performance is mentioned, Yin Kong's mind immediately conjures up an image of him and Navelette transforming into two toothless creatures, one yellow and one blue, dancing together to catchy, addictive music.

Fortunately, Zhongli couldn't see or sense what was going on in Yin Kong's mind, and simply chuckled as he said:

“Traveler, you know me. Performing on stage is not for me.”

Besides, with your connections, you're sure you can find a deity more suitable for these tasks than I am.

Just as the Rock King Emperor said before, all he needs to do now is help Yin Kong unlock the many functions of the Seven Heavenly Statues.

Hearing Zhongli say this, Paimon, though looking regretful, still said:

"Alright, since you don't like it, Zhongli, we won't force you."

Zhongli smiled and said:

"It's not that I don't like it. If it's just travelers or old friends, I certainly wouldn't mind making a fool of myself."

Yin Kong's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in delight:

"Of course it's true." Zhongli smiled slightly and explained, "When have I ever lied to you two?"

Paimon immediately waved his little fist, full of anticipation:

"Zhongli, I want to see right now. Yin Kong feels the same way, right?"

Yin Kong nodded repeatedly.

As for the Seven Heavenly Gods statue, it's just a broken stone. How can it be more important than watching the Emperor perform in person?

“Paimon is quite straightforward.” Facing the expectant eyes of the two, one big and one small, Zhongli chuckled and said, “Unfortunately, performances also require inspiration, especially for travelers. If it’s not a masterpiece, I can’t present it.”

"Oh, oh." Paimon nodded as if he understood, then pressed, "Zhongli, when will you have inspiration?"

Zhongli replied:

"That depends on fate."

Unfortunately, no matter how much Paimon pressed him for details, the Rock King Emperor simply smiled and said that the time was not yet right, refusing to reveal any further information.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yin Kong had no doubt that if Zhong Li enjoyed fishing, he would be a top expert.

Unfortunately, he hates seafood.

"However, since it is Zhongli's promise, let's wait with anticipation."

After finishing discussing business, everyone's attention finally returned to the Statue of the Seven.

“By the way, Zhongli,” Paimon suddenly remembered something, and pondered while rubbing his chin with his right hand, “Now that this is no longer Teyvat, can you still collect Faith Power normally?”

What if the people of this world, even if they worship a certain god, do not gain any special power as a result?

Zhongli explained:

"Rest assured, both of you, I have already tested it. In terms of faith power, the creatures of this world do have some differences from the inhabitants of Teyvat, but there is no essential difference."

Paimon exclaimed in surprise:

"Has it already been tested?"

Yin Kong's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed:

"Could it be those imperial coins that were sent out before?"

Zhongli nodded and said:

"As expected of the Traveler, he is indeed wise. Judging from the results, the effects of those Emperor Coins are unexpectedly good; at least a hundred people have prayed for them."

"Hundreds of people? Where did they come from?" Paimon asked, puzzled. "If I remember correctly, didn't we only send out four imperial coins in total?"

This time, even Yin Kong was completely baffled.

In the end, it was Zhongli who cleared up their doubts:

"I suppose it's thanks to those two police officers."

If I'm not mistaken, the legend of the painted skin must have spread far and wide within the local police station by now, right?

Yin Kong and Paimon exchanged a glance, then Paimon spread his hands in disbelief and said:

"No way, the police are supposed to be the Knights of Favonius of this city, no, more like a thirty-man band, but are they really this cowardly?"

She had clearly heard Yin Kong tell the story of Painted Skin, and had even seen the "Hundred-Faced Witch" who was the murderer, but she was only nervous for a moment at the time.

Looking back now, I don't have any scary thoughts at all.

“It didn’t reach the point of fear.” Zhongli shook his head gently and explained, “When people encounter dangers that cannot be explained by common sense, they will instinctively crave protection from the gods. I can sense that most of those who prayed were still holding the attitude of ‘better safe than sorry,’ and were far from being devout.”

Of course, if it's just about letting him test the existence of the power of faith, that's more than enough.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Just as the three were discussing the strange tales that might be circulating in the Metropolitan Police Department, Takagi and Sato also arrived at the office.

"This must be Mr. Heizo Shinoin?" Upon seeing the little deer, Takagi was stunned and blurted out, "He's so young!"

While Yin Kong's youth is somewhat understandable, Xiao Lu and Wan Ye's height and appearance easily give the impression that they are not yet adults.

Of course, when Manyo ate on the Death Star, he could only sit at the children's table.

Although this is a world that produces many famous high school detectives, the danger of this situation is ultimately extraordinary, and Takagi still can't help but feel apprehensive:

"Mr. Yin Kong, are you sure you really want to have Mr. Kanoin step forward to attract the attention of those thugs?"

Using a minor as bait could lead to serious trouble if something goes wrong.

Sato also frowned and said:

"Yes, Yin Kong, are you sure this gentleman is a combatant even more skilled than you?"

No matter how you look at it, he's the kind of skinny, handsome boy who's at risk of being kidnapped by weird older women or aunties if he walks alone at night, right?

“Officers, I can vouch for the reputation of the entire Rabbit House. Pingzang is not only an adult, but his strength is absolutely reliable. He could easily take on twenty or thirty of those three henchmen yesterday.”

This is clearly a conservative estimate.

Although he only leveled up the deer to level 10, and its equipment and artifacts were simply unimaginable, its combat power had already far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Only someone like Xiaolan, a "pistol realm" expert, would be qualified to pose a threat to him.

"Alright, since it's your guarantee, Yin Kong, we naturally believe it."

Although Sato was still somewhat incredulous, he stopped questioning and quickly produced a document, explaining:

"The higher-ups are very pleased that the missing maple leaf coins were recovered so quickly. They were planning to hold a press conference, and Inspector Megure remembered your suggestion, so he wanted to invite Mr. Kanoin to attend and ask him to recount the entire case-solving process in detail."

They arrived early, naturally to rehearse their lines with Yin Kong and Xiao Lu, and to explain some important points to note at the press conference.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be very awkward if the two sides contradicted each other in their descriptions of the case?

Chapter 80 The Reappearance of the Black Organization

"The situation outside has worsened again."

With Xiao Lu's abilities, a mere press conference is naturally a piece of cake.

After tidying up, Yin Kong told Aoyama Nanami that she could also rest for a while, as long as she came back before 7 p.m., and then took Paimon out again.

"Can you see?"

Sure enough, as soon as they left the radiation range of the teleportation anchor point, they ran into a long-armed ghost that was swinging its own head like a flail.

Paimon was so frightened that he clung to Yin Kong's head until Yin Kong rubbed the little guy's cheek, at which point he slowly relaxed again.

"But at this rate, it should be back to normal in a week at most, right?"

Even Yin Kong, recalling the situation where demons and monsters were everywhere, couldn't help but feel a strong sense of resistance.

To be honest, given the size of his team now—

Of course, the most important thing is Grandpa Zhong's combat power. Nowadays, he doesn't really need to worry about those weak monsters below level 50.

The only problem is that there are far more of these weird creatures than wild Hilichurls and Fatui.

If Yin Kong acts recklessly, it could easily trigger a chain reaction that attracts a large wave of monsters, and might even affect innocent bystanders.

If only there were a way to lure all the monsters and demons in the vicinity to a deserted place, and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

From the "Ever-Changing Witch," Yin Kong learned that there exists a type of being in this world called "Sacrifice People," who possess a special constitution and are born with the ability to see these demons.

Furthermore, their flesh and blood have a very strong attraction for these monsters.

Unfortunately, Yin Kong has not yet encountered such a person, otherwise he might be able to use him to make some articles.

He sighed regretfully and casually opened the map.

Before the seven statues of the gods are lit up, the entire map is naturally pitch black.

The only three places that radiate light are the temporary anchor point in the apartment, the Bone-Eater's Well representing the Spiral Abyss in the Higurashi Shrine, and the copy mark on Conan's body.

"But is Conan on a train or an airplane?"

Yin Kong immediately noticed that Conan and his copy were moving away from Tokyo at a very fast speed.

Furthermore, in the same location within the instance, you can see a bright exclamation mark indicating a world quest.

【Detective Story】Act Two: The Return of the Black Organization.

Has he stumbled upon the main plot of Detective Conan?

Less than three days later, they encountered the Black Organization again?

Yin Kong was a little unsure, but since there were raw stones to be taken, he naturally had to go and lend a hand.

"Come forth, Barbatos in his juvenile form."

After entering a deserted, dark alley, Yin Kong summoned the adorable magical cat.

Soon, to the sound of the magical cat meowing, his and Paimon's colors began to fade rapidly until they became almost transparent.

Although a careful observer might notice a slight ripple in the air, like waves on water, it would be enough for him to handle most situations.

This is naturally the ability of Barbatos in its juvenile form, but with its power, it can only help Yin Kong and Paimon become invisible for a very short time.

After confirming there were no further flaws, Yin Kong immediately opened the instance on Conan's body and chose to teleport.

On the Shinkansen, Conan, who was obediently eating his lunchbox, suddenly jolted awake.

The former high school detective felt something strange being forcefully stuffed into his body without reason, and then spat out in an instant.

Seeing Conan suddenly choke, his face flushed red, unable to utter a single word, Ran frantically patted his chest until he finally spat out the rice ball in his throat.

"Are you alright, Conan?"

In stark contrast to Ran's concerned expression was her father, Kogoro Mouri, who was shaving and said with schadenfreude:

"A kid is a kid, he can even choke on his food."

Conan, of course, paid no attention to his future father-in-law's sarcasm. He clutched his chest and looked around suspiciously.

"What did that feel like just now?"

However, apart from the normal passengers, there didn't seem to be any suspicious people around.

That's strange. Could it be a side effect of that medication?

Conan was a little nervous. After all, the phenomenon of reversing aging was still a strange side effect, and it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.

On the other side, Yin Kongpaimeng, having deactivated his invisibility in the restroom, also openly entered the carriage.

Looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, Paimon couldn't help but sigh:

"Wow, is this a real train? It's so much faster than the ones I rode in fairy tales!"

Yin Kong also explained with a smile:
