Caught off guard, Conan was shot on the spot.
Fortunately, due to his posture, the shot was quite inaccurate, but it still hit Conan near his kidneys.
"Ah—!!!" Ayumi screamed first.
Genta and Mitsuhiko, who are usually very brave, were so frightened by the gunshots that they dared not move.
Conan, enduring immense pain, turned around and used a tranquilizer dart to subdue the bandit leader.
This guy underestimated his opponent again. He thought that a child wouldn't be able to fight back no matter what after being shot, but Conan is not an ordinary child.
Seeing that the threat was over, Genta and Mitsuhiko, who had regained control of their bodies, rushed over.
"Conan! Are you okay?"
"Conan..."
Xiao Ke rapidly lost blood, his face turned pale, and his consciousness began to fade.
"Call...call the doctor over...and the police."
at the same time.
Inside the mountain.
After Lin Che broke the stone pillar, he could clearly feel the "concentration" of the surrounding dark magic power increasing dramatically. He had even heard a high-pitched dragon roar just now, which gave him goosebumps.
The black dragon still hovered overhead, its eyes tightly closed.
Its image became increasingly solid, becoming visible even in dark environments.
Lin Che had already taken out the Demon-Suppressing Golden Short Sword that Koizumi Akako had given him earlier and was holding it in his hand, ready to guard against any possible danger.
"Don't worry, it won't attack us."
At that moment, Koizumi Akako suddenly appeared to the side, looking up at the black dragon as well, but her tone was somewhat pitying.
"It's really pitiful. It's already a disgrace for such a powerful legendary creature to end up in this land."
"After death, the soul cannot dissipate; it is sealed and imprisoned here by others."
The witch walked to Lin Che's side and continued slowly:
"Its soul has been sealed seven times, and its own will has long been extinguished."
"Even so, it still shines upon all who see it as an auspicious dragon."
"So loving, so forgiving, so powerful, please accept my respect."
The ever-proud Koizumi Akako bowed to the black dragon.
Lin Che gripped the knife hilt tightly, but then put it back into his backpack.
Judging from what the witch said, this dragon is not native to Japan.
Then it can only be from China.
The dragon of Lao Tzu, the Chinese nation, came to your small place to bless the people, but not only did his physical body die, his soul was also sealed seven times!
Cheap or not? !
This dark magic power is almost 100% complete.
Lin Che simply observed a moment of silence to pay tribute to the auspicious dragon of his hometown.
The wait wasn't long.
The black dragon remained silent throughout its appearance and complete disappearance, its eyes tightly closed.
【Demon Power Core - Auspicious Dragon (Epic): Equipping this item grants three abilities: "Dragon's Might (lv1)", "Dragon Soul", and "Ascension (lv1)".
You have received a permanent buff: Auspicious Dragon's Blessing
[Auspicious Dragon's Blessing: All attributes +30%, Luck +50.]
This demonic energy core looks very similar to a dragon talisman, automatically embedded in the central slot, with black, thread-like light flowing naturally outwards.
The Dragon's Might skill has a similar effect to Fear and can be used in combination.
The skill "Promotion" can upgrade the grade of another demonic power core.
Finally, there's the Dragon Soul.
This skill allows Lin Che to directly open the gate to dark magic.
Chapter 127 The Gate of Black Magic That Does Not Exist in This World
[Dragon Soul: The powerful soul of a dragon makes your exploration of dark magic much easier.]
The skill description is as follows.
The Black Magic Gate at the top of the Black Magic UI is now open.
"Why are you spacing out?" Koizumi Akako turned to look at Lin Che after the Black Dragon Spirit had dissipated.
Lin Che pondered for a moment, "First of all, I feel that I can directly open the gate to black magic, but the black magic gate I am looking for seems to have some problems."
"What?!" The witch was clearly shocked, but then her shocked expression turned into deep doubt. "Don't joke around. I feel like you're challenging my thousand-year-old heritage."
Lin Che sighed, "It's true."
"Are you really challenging my thousand-year-old heritage?!" Koizumi Akako said angrily.
"I'm talking about opening the door to dark magic."
"Then what do you mean by 'there's been a problem'?"
"That is... this door does not exist in this world."
Lin Che's words silenced Koizumi Akako.
But he wasn't lying.
The information about the Black Magic Gate in the UI clearly states: the conditions for opening have been met, but the corresponding portal has not yet been found in this world and is still being searched.
Lin Che was a little at a loss.
Does he have to travel to another world to unlock the door to dark magic?
That's too abstract; he can't accept it anyway.
Koizumi Akako had some speculations, "I think I mentioned before that you are not from the current world."
"Based on this, it is indeed possible that the door that corresponds to you may not exist in this world."
Lin Che's heart sank immediately after hearing this.
Wouldn't he have to travel back to his original Earth?!
Are you kidding me?
Koizumi Akako then continued, "If this world doesn't work, try another one. Go home and give it a try."
"If that still doesn't work, then I don't know what to do."
Lin Che nodded and said nothing more. He pushed Koizumi Akako along the Auspicious Dragon Path and walked out, also to see what changes had occurred to the Spider Thread Spirit, which had just been promoted to the Epic rank.
Overall, the effects of each skill have been enhanced, and an additional skill called "Spider Sense" has been added.
He's starting to look more and more like Spider-Man, all that's missing is the corresponding power boost and wall-climbing ability.
The spider-sense effect is also very simple and direct, just like Vodka's sunglasses.
This trip was very fruitful and not too troublesome. I didn't encounter any trouble because of the chance meeting Conan and the others. It was the easiest trip I've ever taken.
Back on the ground, Koizumi Akako stretched her body in the sunlight.
Lin Che asked, "Last time you took the Spider Fairy's corpse, are you not going to take anything this time?"
The witch turned around, pouting helplessly, "There's nothing left, and I have nothing to take either."
As she spoke, she raised her index finger, put one hand on her hip, and leaned closer, poking Lin Che's chest with her finger and saying fiercely, "I'm helping out for free this time, so you have to be grateful for my kindness, you know?"
"Everyone needs to know how to be grateful, but you have never had this awareness, so I need to remind you."
Lin Che suddenly grabbed Koizumi Akako's outstretched hand, "So how do you plan to repay you?"
The witch never expected that Lin Che would revert to his domineering self.
The two were already standing close, and now they were practically touching.
She recalled the scene from last night when she said she would make Lin Che take the initiative to kiss her so she could savor it properly. But when she tried to speak, she couldn't say anything and could only blush and avoid his gaze.
"Speak up, what are you spacing out for?" Lin Che pressed down on him.
Seeing that Koizumi Akako's waist was weak, he simply pressed her against a nearby tree, saying, "Do you expect me to figure it out myself?"
Koizumi Akako had only one thought in her mind: Could this be the legendary "wall slam"?
"You've been a bit offensive..." the witch's voice was weak.
Lin Che finally used his other hand to lift her chin. "But you like it this way."
"I don't!"
"I think you do."
The two people were only two centimeters apart at the tip of their noses.
I won't say who had a heart rate of 140+.
Lin Che suddenly realized that he might have been overthinking things last night.
Koizumi Akako's body's instinctive resistance was purely out of shyness, coupled with the fact that she had never had a similar experience before, so she would automatically struggle.
If he had just held on a little longer last night, this witch would probably be a charming and adorable young lady today.
"Since you won't tell me, I'll decide for myself how to repay you."
Before Koizumi Akako could react, Lin Che swiftly cleared the last two centimeters of space.
It was a little cool and a little soft, and the slippery mucous membrane on the surface seemed to have a faint fragrance and a slightly sweet taste.
After tasting it thoroughly, I had the idea of exploring further inside.
Koizumi Akako's brain has been taken over by an unknown entity yet again.
Conan, who had been shot on the other side of the mountain, was finally carried onto an ambulance on a stretcher.
Curaçao successfully dragged the body out. After learning what had happened outside, she felt extremely guilty and volunteered to go to the hospital with the car—even though she knew that she would be asked many identity-related questions this time, questions that she simply could not answer.
There was no other way; at this point, she could only turn to Mr. Lin, her only support.
at the same time.
Teitan Junior High School.
"Why did the training take so long today? Did something go wrong?" Sonoko Suzuki asked Ran Mouri, whose hair was still wet.
High school students get out of school early, but today Ran Mouri was participating in the karate club activity as usual, so it was delayed until now.
Sonoko Suzuki stayed behind to wait because she had nothing else to do, and also because she wanted to talk to Ran Mouri about the play to be performed in a few days.
Teitan Junior High School's annual school fair is about to begin, and the event is expected to be a grand success.
Ran Mouri will be starring as the female lead in a play, but the male lead has yet to be decided.
Although Sonoko Suzuki was reluctant, if Shinichi Kudo were in the picture, he would definitely be the perfect choice for the male lead.
However, since Shinichi Kudo was out having fun and hadn't returned yet, Sonoko Suzuki decided to take this opportunity to find a new romantic interest for her best friend.
This would both prevent Ran Mouri from getting hung up on one person and indirectly provoke Shinichi Kudo, hoping to force him to show up.
Ran Mouri tidied her wet hair and looked up at the horizon. "Nothing special happened, I just felt a little uneasy just now."
Sonoko Suzuki said "Oh," and then excitedly said, "How about we let Dr. Araide play the male lead? He's so handsome and gentle, he's the perfect sunny and warm-hearted guy to fit the image of a prince!"
"I want to see if Kudo will rush back to protect his future wife when faced with such a formidable opponent!"
"If he doesn't care at all even after all this, Xiaolan, then break up with him immediately!"
Ran Mouri laughed awkwardly, "Sonoko, I think you're overthinking things. Besides, Shinichi and I aren't boyfriend and girlfriend at all, okay?"
The voice just fell.
Suddenly, Inspector Megure called.
