"I think I can smell it, the scent of fate."

Mona's voice suddenly rang in Yin Kong's heart.

Yin Kong was also somewhat surprised and asked in his mind:

"Hey, Mona, you've recovered already?"

Indeed, after Yin Kong added Mona to the team with a complicated expression, this great astrologer has been in a state of constant utter disbelief.

The reason was quite simple: Mona discovered that her once-proud water divination skills were completely ineffective in this world.

The principle of water divination is that the water reflects the false heavens of Teyvat, and the fate of almost all of Teyvat is recorded in this false heaven with unparalleled clarity.

Once you master the methods of interpretation, you can naturally glimpse the true nature of your destiny.

However, in this world of science fiction, there is clearly no false heaven or constellation. Even if Mona uses water divination, she can only reflect the true starry sky of the universe.

At least in the Teyvat astrological system, there is no direct connection between an individual's fate and the actual cosmic space.

"Of course not yet. However, although there is no false heaven, I can smell the scent of destiny."

Mona's tone suddenly became much more invigorated:

“I can sense that you have successfully changed the old man’s fate, and that golden feather seems to crave such power.”

A predetermined fate?

Yin Kong thought of the animation he had seen. Perhaps this was the "False Heaven" of the Detective Conan world?

Mona probably had a similar experience when she was in Teyvat?

If that's the case, then not only Director Ochiai, but the fates of many people in this world have probably been messed up by him.

"Since fate exists, there must also be a way to observe it, as long as I make a slight improvement to the water divination technique..."

Mona's voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared completely.

Clearly, the girl was once again completely absorbed in her own thoughts.

Yin Kong didn't disturb her, but instead spoke to Karasuma Akemi, whose face was full of curiosity:

“Mr. Mingguang, I actually know very little about painting. I’ve only heard about it from a friend, so I can’t really say anything about schools or famous figures.”

Yin Kong's friend was none other than the omnipotent Mr. Zhongli.

His evaluation of "Divine Punishment" was mostly from the old man himself.

"Huh?" Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at the somewhat nervous Yukino, tapping her chin as she said, "But isn't the idea of ​​mental suggestion a bit too unscientific?"

"No, Miss Yang Nai."

Hearing her say that, Karasuma Akimitsu shook his head:

“I can actually understand Mr. Yin Kong’s feelings, because I’ve seen this painting before and always felt a little uncomfortable, but I can’t quite put my finger on it…”

Conan touched his chest and nodded slightly.

For some reason, he had felt a sudden pang of heart palpitation, and after that, he clearly understood the distorted emotions that the creator of the painting wanted to express.

However, this high school detective had no time to worry about the painting; what he was truly concerned about was his health.

Could it be that the drug really has some serious side effects?

Otherwise, why have I been having these strange feelings lately?

Not only do I always feel like something strange is going in and out of my body, but I also often experience inexplicable heart palpitations.

Unfortunately, Conan nowadays doesn't dare to go to the hospital for a checkup.

After all, if everything goes smoothly, that would be a happy ending for everyone.

But what if something is actually found out? How will he explain it?

It seems I have no choice but to ask the doctor for help.

Conan secretly decided that if it were Professor Agasa, he might be able to find him a reliable and responsible doctor who wouldn't ask too many questions.

"I see." Hearing Karasuma Akimitsu say this, Yukinoshita Haruno no longer doubted it and asked, "If it is such a magical painting, then I am also somewhat interested."

Upon hearing what she said, Yukino Yukinoshita finally couldn't hold back any longer and expressed her dissatisfaction.

She always felt that her older sister was currently on the verge of being hammered, yet she was frantically spreading her wings like a roc.

Little did she know, the more she seemed to care, the more curious Yang Nai became, wanting to figure out the secret behind it.

"Is Yukino nervous?" Seeing her younger sister so excited, Haruno raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Don't worry, since Mr. Yin Kong took a liking to it first, why would I steal it? Or is it that in Yukino's eyes, her older sister is such a bad person? That's truly heartbreaking..."

Yin Kong finally understood why Yukino Yukinoshita had apologized to him in advance.

Because her older sister is not only a typical drama queen, but also a master at reading people and tailoring her approach accordingly.

If Yin Kong had revealed that her surname was Suzuki or Shinomiya, she probably wouldn't have made such a joke.

Just like when facing Karasuma Akimitsu, her words and actions were perfectly measured, ensuring that Mr. Karasuma would not feel offended in the slightest.

Then, when she encounters an "ordinary person" like Yin Kong, she knows how to use her advantage as a beautiful young woman to make some harmless jokes to get closer to him.

Yin Kong wouldn't condemn such behavior, because double standards are human nature, but he certainly wouldn't like such a person either.

“Miss Yang is quite humorous. But speaking of which, Mr. Mingguang, I wonder which generation of the Karasuma family head collected this painting?”

“It is my great-great-grandfather, that is, my great-great-grandfather’s cousin, Mr. Karasuma Renya.”

Clearly, even within the Karasuma Group, very few people know that Karasuma Renya is still alive.

At the very least, distant relatives like Karasuma Akimitsu were clearly not qualified to know such a secret.

Therefore, when Karasuma Renya was mentioned, Karasuma Meimitsu did not show any particular interest.

After all, no matter how powerful this behind-the-scenes boss was during his lifetime, it has been almost fifty years since his last public appearance.

People from nearly half a century ago, let alone Karasuma Akimitsu being just a collateral relative, even if they were direct blood relatives, it would be hard to say how much affection they had for each other.

"Is Mr. Yin Kong worried that there might be such rules in the family? It's not a big deal. If it's the head of the family's own work, then it is indeed not convenient to sell it. But if it's just a collection, then there are no such concerns at all."

Otherwise, it wouldn't have ended up in his hands and been displayed here.

"You have all helped me a great deal, so it would be only right to give this painting to Mr. Yin Kong."

"That's not necessary."

In the end, Yin Kong shook his head and refused Karasuma Akimitsu's offer, instead buying the painting with its hidden secrets for 30 million yen.

Then, he received a call from Shinobu Hisaki.

Chapter 153 An Unexpected Reunion

After receiving news from Aren, Yin Kong naturally had no intention of staying to chat anymore.

For him now, apart from Karasuma Renya, whose condition is unknown, the brewery is no longer a force to be feared.

But once the abyss is involved, he absolutely cannot sit idly by.

Karasuma Akimitsu looked regretful, after all, he was very curious about Yin Kong's friend Zhong Li and wanted to find an opportunity to sit down and have a good chat about that special painting technique.

Unfortunately, Zhong Li didn't seem to be interested in this naive and innocent young master, so Yin Kong just gave him a perfunctory reply.

In contrast, Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely afraid that her older sister might cause her some trouble.

Just about twenty minutes later, Yin Kong successfully made contact with A Ren outside the pharmaceutical factory.

By this time, Rum had already had his professionals thoroughly and meticulously examine the situation inside the secret room.

Needless to say, everything was normal, and they couldn't detect anything unusual.

Although Rum was very unwilling, he could only temporarily seal the secret room and bring in more advanced equipment to test it.

However, this is destined to be a futile effort.

"This is indeed an abyssal rift, but fortunately, it has been sealed off."

Without Yin Kong needing to ask, Zhong Li had already given the answer he cared about most.

The force that sealed the crack was far more reliable than Hisaki Shinobu had imagined.

"This must be the work of [Yata-u] and [Miyako-ki]. Now that I think about it, if their goal was merely to eliminate that abyssal demon, they wouldn't have needed to expend such a massive amount of time power..."

With Zhongli's explanation, Yin Kong roughly understood the origin of this barrier.

To put it bluntly, although those giant abyssal hands at that time already possessed the strength of a demon god, in the true abyss, they were nothing more than small fry charging into battle.

Even if [Yata-u] manages to kill it, there will be a continuous stream of powerful abyssal monsters invading afterward.

Therefore, the true function of that immense power of time is similar to the false heavens of Teyvat, using an "eggshell" to hide this world from the "universe".

"Judging from the state of this barrier, it can be maintained for at least several hundred years unless it is attacked continuously by multiple demon god-level monsters."

Of course, the centuries mentioned here are not the centuries in Ke Xue's time, but the centuries in Yin Kong's perception.

"Hundreds of years..."

For Yin Kong, this was clearly an incredibly long time.

However, when he and Shinobu sneaked into the secret room to get a closer look at the state of the barrier, they unexpectedly discovered something extremely familiar—

A purplish-black cloud of gas floating in mid-air.

"A perilous battle in the Dark Realm?"

Yin Kong's originally serious expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

As he slowly approached the purplish-black cloud of energy, the system interface immediately popped up.

[Dangerous Battle in the Ghost Realm]!

Goodness, now that we have [Spiral Abyss] and [Critical Battle in the Dark], what about the remaining Fantasy True Poem?

Could they already be hiding somewhere, waiting to ambush me?

However, in Yin Kong's memory, the difficulty level six of [Danger in the Netherworld] was probably the most challenging in the game, testing the player's skill level the most.

No, it should be a level based on spending money.

Even on top of spending money, you still need to ensure the most basic skills and level of expertise in order to get the highest level of rewards.

Fortunately, if you only want to get the Primogem reward, you only need to complete difficulty level 3.

I just don't know if my current team can beat difficulty level 3?

Yin Kong was a little unsure, since his team was already basically formed when the [Netherworld Peril] event started.

Therefore, I always start by trying to get the highest difficulty level, which is level 5.

As for difficulty level three, it only applies when farming artifacts—

Wait, a relic!

Yin Kong suddenly realized that in the game, the Dark Realm Crisis was a way to farm artifacts from all dungeons!

If he could inherit all the artifact dungeons from the game, he wouldn't have to grind through the artifact dungeon in Conan's heart every day.

Moreover, apart from Zhongli, that set of artifacts only provides some basic attributes for other characters.

Unfortunately, Yin Kong soon discovered with great regret that the [Netherworld Crisis] was not in its chaotic outbreak phase at the moment, so he couldn't open the artifact selection function at all and could only obtain the most basic rewards.

Just as he was feeling disappointed, Yin Kong suddenly showed a surprised expression.

Because he discovered that he was now able to claim the rewards for difficulty level three.

Furthermore, in the game, the reward for difficulty level 3 is only 450 Primogems, which is incomparable to the rewards from both the new and old Abyss dungeons.

But now, he discovers that he can actually receive 625 raw gems.

How is this going?

When did he clear the third difficulty level?

When Yin Kong opened the history with a puzzled look, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Because he saw a team he had never expected.

In the challenge record, Yin Kong used the level 85 [Tartaria] and the level 23 [Gin] to clear three, no, a whole dozens of Abyss monsters in one go.

No, buddy?
