Good news: I'm a genius.
The bad news is that we are now in the Dharma-ending Age.
Just as they were speechless, a dark purple crystal suddenly flew out of the Spider Fairy's corpse and hovered in mid-air.
It seems this is the core of the demonic power.
Lin Che observed Koizumi Akako's movements and, seeing that she truly did not want to take it, she sheathed his sword and stepped forward to extend his hand.
Touch the core with your fingertips.
【Demon Power Core - Spider Fairy (Excellent): Equipping this item grants two abilities: "Illusion (Lv1)" and "Spider Silk (Lv3)".】
The UI has also been updated with a new section: Black Magic.
Similar to a skill tree, it contains three large circular slots arranged in a fan shape.
The hexagonal demonic power core, depicting a spider, has automatically occupied the right slot, filled with purplish-black light, and has a small "100%" mark on top.
The two small icons connected and lit up represent the abilities of illusion and spider webs.
Above the three inlay slots is a closed, dark black door, marked "The magic gate has not yet been opened".
Directly below, there is an "energy bar" that runs across the interface, which is currently empty.
There is no ranking system here, except for abilities.
Lin Che regained consciousness and, imitating Spider-Man, casually flicked out a strand of white spider silk as thick as his little finger.
The spider silk feels very sturdy and sticky, making it easy to grip.
Illusion is even simpler to activate; you can use it directly by locking onto the target with your eyes.
He tried using Koizumi Akako as a target.
Useless.
The witch was speechless. "This level of illusion couldn't possibly work on me."
"It's okay, I'm just trying it out anyway, I'm not going to do anything to you." Lin Che re-entered the UI to check.
He discovered that the "100%" on the demon core had changed to "98%", and the energy bar below also had a value of 2%.
So that's how it works. Lin Che continued to explore.
Koizumi Akako quietly increased the distance between them.
Lin Che's words had involuntarily given her some strange fantasies.
To use illusions to control oneself, and then to do something to oneself, all while sitting on one's own throne...
What's up with that being a little exciting?
Chapter 95 Returning After the Matter Is Over, Shigehiko Tobuchi
Koizumi Akako suddenly recalled the scene of herself sitting like a duck on the Crow Platform.
The reason for that sitting posture was to observe better... anyway, it was that dark-skinned boy.
With such a great figure and such a suggestive sitting posture, wouldn't that make Lin Che feel good?
Koizumi Akako suddenly felt that this was very unfair.
The person who is high and mighty should look at Lin Che from the other side.
After she finished her various imaginings, Lin Che also finished his business and prepared to head home.
I've gotten everything I needed on this trip, and I even personally slew a spider demon. I'm really looking forward to facing the dragon on the next trip.
Although Koizumi Akako said it wasn't a physical entity, it's still a dragon, after all.
Lin Che left without warning.
Koizumi Akako, still pondering how she should act "high and mighty," pouted and said, "What's your hurry? I still have things to do!"
Lin Che was initially quite curious, but when he saw that Koizumi Akako was only going to dismantle the spider corpses to recycle materials, his interest vanished instantly.
"Take your time with it. I'm going back now, otherwise it'll look weird."
Koizumi Akako stomped her feet in anger, but this couldn't stop Lin Che from leaving.
With no one around, a chilling wind swept through the dark forest.
The witch was no longer arrogant; she set up several protective magic arrays around herself before beginning the dismantling work.
The process was disgusting, but Koizumi Akako enjoyed it.
......
When Lin Che returned to the Takeda family home, it had already started to rain heavily.
Quite by chance, he happened to "see" Robert dragging the unconscious Toyama Kazuha into that cursed attic.
Having X-ray vision enabled is so convenient.
"Is...is this Mr. Lin?!"
At that moment, Ran Mouri, who looked tense and about to cry, suddenly jumped out.
She immediately grabbed Lin Che's wrist and said in a tearful voice, "Have you seen He Ye? She suddenly disappeared, and no matter how much I call her, it doesn't work."
Lin Che pointed casually, "I just saw someone dragging something into that warehouse over there, and I was just about to go take a look."
The reason he gave for going to see the Spider Fairy earlier was that he was tracking a criminal, so he naturally can't act detached from worldly affairs now.
If there's any contrast between the past and the present, Conan and Heiji Hattori will keep asking him questions.
You might find them annoying, but these two don't deserve to die.
Let them bother me, but Lin Che himself isn't happy about it.
Now that the core objective has been achieved, let's just get straight to the point and resolve the issue.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hattori Heiji and Conan ran over.
"What are you looking at? I think I heard you guys saying that Kazuha is missing?!" Blackie was very excited, and seeing Ran Mouri's expression made him even more certain that he hadn't misheard.
Conan was even more direct, the question mark above his head like a light bulb, "Mr. Lin, you just said there were no results in chasing the criminal, why don't you come and help find the criminal too?"
The task popped up, and Lin Che accepted it without hesitation.
This is a task similar to the counterfeit money case, but the reward is very limited, only 8 experience points.
But something is better than nothing.
Lin Che said no more and directly pointed out the direction to Hei Pi.
He then chased after Robert, who had fled in panic upon hearing the commotion.
This time they're really chasing the criminal.
With his stats and the ability to see through objects, Robert has no chance of escaping.
After being slapped twice across the face, the American stopped running and struggling, and obediently allowed Lin Che to bring him back.
Upon entering the warehouse, Kazuha Toyama was embraced by Heiji Hattori.
Upon seeing this, Conan immediately asked, "Mr. Lin, what's this?"
Lin Che pushed Robert to the ground. "He's the criminal, and he has a stun gun in his pocket. There's no way he can argue."
Conan was shocked.
He has handled thousands of cases from childhood to adulthood and back to childhood, but this is the first time he has seen a criminal caught red-handed.
Heiji Hattori put Kazuha Toyama down and made a move to punch Robert twice, but was stopped by Kogoro Mouri—upon learning of the death, the drunken detective's state was immediately refreshed.
"Calm down." Kogoro Mouri was strong and powerful, and he controlled the black man with one hand, making it impossible for him to move.
Robert sat down wherever he fell, without saying a word, just staring down at the floor.
Conan stroked his chin thoughtfully, "But how exactly did he kill Mr. Takeda?"
So Lin Che explained the modus operandi he had already figured out, so clearly and logically that the Grim Reaper trio couldn't utter a word of dissent.
Not only were they caught red-handed, but now that their modus operandi had been exposed, Robert stopped insisting and knelt down to explain his motives.
Lin Che wasn't interested in this; the task came quickly and he could finish it even faster. He quickly left and found Koizumi Akako.
But this witch looked blank and didn't respond when you spoke to her; she was like a giant figurine.
It seems that Koizumi Akako is still messing with the Spider Fairy's corpse and hasn't returned yet.
Lin Che stared at the "figure" for a while, then couldn't resist reaching out to poke its face, forehead, and touch its hair out of curiosity.
Just as he was about to check if the "figure" had teeth and movable joints, Koizumi Akako returned.
A slap, delivered without warning, came in a fit of embarrassment.
Lin Che's dodge was also quite timely.
"What are you doing?!" Koizumi Akako covered her chest with both hands, looking wary, her face flushed.
Lin Che was very frank, "It was quite fun, so I tried it out. Is this magic or a magical creation?"
He received no answer because Koizumi Akako ignored him.
It rained all night.
The next morning, the rain stopped and the police finally arrived and took Robert away.
Because he needed to give a statement, Lin Che took the opportunity to hitch a ride with the police.
After finishing his business, he bid farewell to Conan and the others, and led Koizumi Akako away.
The witch said the body needed time to adapt, so the collection of the next dark magic power was still pending her notification.
Before parting, Koizumi Akako invited Lin Che to visit her, but Lin Che had to go find Lisael to complete his mission, so he declined.
Tokyo.
An apartment.
"Your fiancé isn't home?" Lin Che entered the house wearing a disguise, feeling inexplicably guilty.
Lisael was wearing a white nightgown, and her hair was as gentle and lovely as when they first met.
Her dress wasn't see-through; it was very demure, a stark contrast to her actual image.
Lisael hooked her arm around Lin Che's neck, pulling them closer. "He needs to work too. How does it feel to have a young girl?"
Lin Che originally came to settle his task.
But the conversation gradually shifted from "Where's the rubber band I gave you?" to "Has he ever been to this place?"
When Lin Che finally received the full commission, he felt it was more like a service fee.
I got a 50% discount at Lisael's shop, so I can buy a small amount of weapons and a large number of various types of bombs from her.
The hidden reward "Plamia's Wrath" can be seen as an unconditional request for support, allowing Lissal to risk her life for you.
Lying in bed, Lissall sighed, "It's a pity we can't smoke here."
As she spoke, she rolled over and hugged Lin Che's arm, her eyes still full of seductive charm, "There's a new job I can do, are you interested?"
"It's still the same employer, but this time I'll take 20% of the commission."
She further explained, "The distribution channels are mine, and I do need funds to manufacture the bombs myself. Taking 20% is not unreasonable, is it?"
As she spoke, she also revealed her gentleness.
Lin Che thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, what kind of work?"
Lisa was delighted. "They said it was to protect the life of a member of Congress, and the commission was a whopping 30 million US dollars. That's an extremely high price."
"Many people are vying for this commission, but none of them are as fast as me. We need to finalize things as soon as possible, otherwise the commission will automatically return to the task pool."
Lin Che changed from lying down to sitting up.
"Why is it another councilor? Is it really that dangerous to be an official in this place?"
"What's your name? Let me check it beforehand."
Lissel blinked. "It seems to be called Shigehiko Tobuchi."
