A Survival Manual for the World of Science

He didn’t even notice Conan coming in… Chu Ming restrained his expression. It seemed that not only Conan’s trust in him had increased, but without realizing it, his trust in Conan had also reached this level?

“Brother Chu Ming, stop pretending to be asleep. I noticed your eyes moving. Are you thinking of some bad idea to scare me again?” Conan lay on the head of Chu Ming’s bed, his tone resentful.

Chu Ming opened his eyes lazily: “Don’t you have time to come and see me? How do you know I’m here?”

Conan was very proud: “I’m a detective, it’s not a big deal for me to deduce your ward. Last time you told me that you had a fever at night and called Dr. Watanabe to pick you up. So you must have been taken to the hospital where Dr. Watanabe works. As for the specific ward, I asked the nurse downstairs and she helped me check it.”

Oh my god, luckily all the preliminary work has been done, otherwise all the vests on Conan’s side would have been lost by now.

Chu Ming propped up his head and looked around, then yawned. He had slept too late yesterday and was very sleepy now. “Why are you alone? Didn’t Xiaolan come with you? Aren’t you always in pairs?”

Conan said nothing, with a self-blaming expression: “She is also in Beihua Hospital…”

Chu Ming sat up and said, “What happened to Xiaolan? Is she sick? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Come on, take me to see her.”

Conan followed Chu Ming and pointed him in the direction of Xiaolan’s ward, while he dejectedly told Chu Ming what happened last night, hiding what he had learned in detail.

Of course, he didn’t know much, after all, he was knocked unconscious by Chu Ming halfway through.

“So, Xiaolan’s English teacher is actually an FBI agent?” Chu Ming pretended to be surprised.

“Yes.” Conan nodded. “Teacher Judy told me that the previous Dr. Shinde was a disguised person in the organization named Vermouth. She wanted to kill Haibara Ai… and the man we met last time in the bus kidnapping case, I thought he was a member of the organization, but Teacher Judy said he was actually an FBI agent. But now it is discovered that he is actually an undercover agent placed by the organization in the FBI. I don’t know what he is…”

Conan was confused. He pulled his hair in annoyance and said, “Alas, there is still too little information. There is no way to know much.”

“Don’t think too much. Everything will work out when the time comes. There will always be clues.” Chu Ming comforted him half-heartedly, “Isn’t the most important thing for you now – did Xiaolan hear your identity while she was hiding in the trunk?”

Conan was startled, then shook his head in relief: “I knocked on the side too, but didn’t find any clues. She probably didn’t hear anything. She said she hid in the trunk at first, but then felt too stuffy so she pushed the trunk open a little, and just in time she heard Vermouth trying to kill Huibara, so she jumped out.”

Chu Ming threatened him: “How do you know Xiaolan is not deceiving you now? What if she has heard everything, but wants to hear you admit it yourself, so she keeps silent?”

Conan paused, looking worried: “No, no way…”

From the little bit of emotion that Conan contributed, we can tell that he was already stunned by the possibilities listed by Chu Ming.

Chu Ming raised his hand and knocked on Xiaolan’s ward door, and heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him to open the door.

——It’s Haibara Ai.

The moment she saw Chu Ming, her eyes lit up: “Brother Chu Ming!”

She finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her heart. Fortunately, Brother Chu Ming was fine. She had been thinking a lot since she was thrown on the dock by that member of the organization.

Originally, Chu Mingge would be much safer with such a person protecting him in the organization, but for her, Chu Mingge even gave up leaving the organization…

Huiyuan Ai hid all her thoughts in her heart, without showing any expression on her face: “Come in quickly, brother Chu Ming.”

Chu Ming looked at Xiaolan’s hand wrapped like a mummy on the quilt, and his eyes widened: “I heard from Conan that Xiaolan was injured. How could she be injured so seriously? What happened to her hand?”

“Brother Chu Ming.” Xiao Lan saw Chu Ming coming in with fruits and smiled gently, waving her hands wrapped like bear paws, “It’s nothing, it just looks serious, but it’s just a little scratch. I said just apply some medicine when you go back, but Xiao Ai and Conan Nan have to be hospitalized for bandages, and they are wrapped like this. Brother Chu Ming, please help me persuade them.”

Chu Ming gave the things that Conan had just brought to Xiaolan again as a gift: “These two kids are very opinionated, there is no way I can persuade them. But girls’ hands still need to be well protected, be careful, these two kids also care about you.”

Haibara Ai took the things and put them on the bedside table. She had felt the warmth of a sister from Xiaolan before, and now she was taking advantage of being a child to stick to Xiaolan.

Conan walked over and turned on the TV so that Xiaolan could watch TV when she had nothing to do.

As soon as I turned on the TV, I heard the host’s sweet voice announce:

“Currently, Mr. Suzuki Jikichiro, the consultant of the Suzuki Group, has published an announcement in the newspaper, challenging Kaito Kidd with the legendary ‘Blue Miracle’. So will Kaito Kidd accept this challenge? We…”

Chu Ming was leaning against the window and chatting with Xiaolan. When he heard Kaito Kidd, he subconsciously turned his head to watch the news report.

Kaito Kidd, it seems like I haven’t seen him for a long time.

Having just fleeced the red and black teams, it’s now Kidd’s turn.

?(?>?<?)?

Chapter 426 Tickets

Chu Ming, wearing Lucifer’s disguise, landed lightly on the roof of Kuroba’s house, without touching the warnings set up around the house by Kuroba Kaito.

When new skins for the simulated mechanical wings came out in the mall, Chu Ming bought them all as soon as possible.

Anyway, the points gained from the red and black teams can be described as massive. What’s more, he has already thought about it. When he has nothing to do, he can follow Conan to get some points. When he needs to buy something, he can manually plan a red and black battle, and the points will pour into his pocket.

There are two new skins this time. One is that the wings become cooler, and the transformed windbreaker style also becomes optional. At the same time, some new functions have been added. It can imitate the color and temperature of the surrounding environment to make people in an “invisible” state, almost blending into the environment. Not only can there be no difference to the naked eye, the layer on it can also absorb light. When encountering some active infrared detection equipment, it can also absorb the infrared rays shot over, making it impossible for the machine to recognize it.

So Chu Ming is currently using this skin.

The other one is hard to describe. There is no preview for this skin, but the description is very exaggerated, saying that this skin is modeled after a demon from the ancient divine realm. The whole description is bragging about this demon, saying that he was born in an endless sea of ​​blood, born to kill, and surrounded by blood…

Chu Ming thought that buying one would be the same, and there would be a discount if he bought two, so he just bought them all together.

As a result, I tried it in the safe house last time. Wow, this skin really looks like it was fished out of blood. After I put it on, blood kept dripping from the wings. I almost turned the safe house into a murder scene…

So after Chu Ming used it once, he put it at the bottom of the system panel, waiting to see if he would need it in the future… Anyway, he definitely couldn’t use it now.

Seeing Kuroba Kaito holding a deck of cards and thinking hard in the room, Chu Ming reached out and knocked on the window.

When Kuroba Kaito heard the noise, he looked up vigilantly and saw Lucifer leaning against the window with a smile on his face. From his angle, he could see half of his wings drooping obediently behind him. When he saw him looking at him, he greeted him with an evil look on his face.

Kuroba Kaito stood up. His room was on the second floor and had no balcony. This demon could actually stand in the air without spreading his wings… Coach, I also want to learn this.

However, after not seeing him for a while, Lucifer’s strength seemed to have increased a lot. At this moment, just standing there seemed to be able to attract people’s attention.

Where he couldn’t see, Chu Ming’s other hand and foot, which were in the blind spot of Kuroba Kaito’s sight, were holding on to the water pipe on the side in a strange posture to support his body, making the exposed half of his body look comfortable and at ease.

What is this called?

The comfort of half of the body is obtained by the efforts of the other half.

Kuroba Kaito opened the window and was about to stick his head out to say something. How could Chu Ming let him stick his head out?

The moment he opened the window, Chu Ming exerted all his strength and rushed into the room, swiftly and lightly. After landing, he used his wings to maintain a little balance. When Kuroba Kaito turned around, Chu Ming was already standing proudly again, and there was no sign of anything wrong.

“Lucifer, why did you suddenly come to my house? I didn’t call you.” Kuroba Kaito put down the cards in his hand with a serious expression. He was not surprised that the devil could find where he was, but he was just wondering why he came here.

“I saw someone issuing a challenge to you while watching TV. You are a person bathed in the glory of Lucifer. How could you allow others to provoke you?” Lucifer’s eyes flashed red as he looked at Kuroba Kaito.

“…Is it so trendy? You demons watch TV too? And I’m just trying to find a solution…” Kuroba Kaito muttered in a low voice, looking at the model of the Suzuki Museum on the table with some distress. This was a model made by his assistant, Mr. Terai, based on the information he had gathered.

Chu Ming put away the wings he used to show off, returned them to the form of a windbreaker, and sat on the chair next to him with his arms and legs stretched out. He made an ordinary chair feel like a throne.

“You can ask me for help.” He raised his scarlet eyes, full of interest.

“What is your purpose?” Kuroba Kaito stood up straight and looked at Chu Ming seriously. “You can’t come to me just for this reason and ask me for help. I remember that you never like to beat around the bush. Why are you so roundabout this time?”

Chu Ming clapped his hands and gave him some encouragement, but his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: “You are really smart.”

“Thank you for the compliment. What exactly do you need me to do this time? Is it related to the blue miracle?” Kaito frowned and looked at Chu Ming warily.

“Almost. You are a professional.” Chu Ming actually had no purpose, but since Kidd needed a reason, he would make one up for him. “The blood energy of hell leaked out and infiltrated your interface. A gap appeared in the gate of hell. As the Lord of hell, I need to recover this blood energy.”

Seeing that Kaito was listening attentively, Chu Ming changed his posture and continued to make up stories: “The only thing here that has some spiritual energy that can allow blood to attach is the gemstone. The blood will polish the gemstone. The more precious the gemstone, the more likely it is that there will be blood residue inside. It’s so troublesome – such a difficult task, and the first person I thought of was you, my dear collection.”

The corner of Kaito’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help but said, “I’m just a collection, I can’t take on such a difficult task.”

“Don’t underestimate yourself. Although you are just a collection, collections are things that depend on who the collector is. You are the collection of the Lord of Hell, the best of the collections.”

“…But isn’t it still a collection?” Kuroba Kaito was speechless. “So other collections just need to be collected, but as the collection of the Lord of Hell, it has to help you do things before it’s alive? What kind of capitalist are you? You’ll be hung up on the street lamp for doing this, you know?”

This little pigeon is a bit too much. You insisted on asking me for a reason. Now I have given you the reason, but you despise me as a capitalist. How hateful.

Chu Ming shook his sleeves and stood up. He seemed calm but his mouth was full of threats: “Tsk, if it weren’t for the fact that you are my most precious collection, I wouldn’t have come here. This little bit of blood is dispensable to hell, but it’s different in your world. A little bit of blood can trigger the evil and desires in human hearts. When the time comes, there will really be rivers of blood. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about this collection in advance.”

Seeing Chu Ming was about to leave, Kidd became anxious. He grabbed Chu Ming’s sleeve and said, “Wait, that’s not what I meant.”

Seeing that Chu Ming didn’t say anything, but just turned around and stared at him, Kaito took a breath and slowly exhaled: “My consciousness is that I am just an ordinary person. Of course, those blood and energy must be dealt with by you, the Lord of Hell. There is no need for an ordinary human like me to deal with it.”

“It’s okay.” Chu Ming casually threw him a small black stone. “This is a magic stone. It will absorb blood energy directly when it encounters it. Just keep it with you every time you go to steal gems. The main thing is that the gate of hell is difficult to repair in a short time. This is a long-term job. If you do a good job, I can be a little more patient and wait for you until the day you die of old age.”

In fact, it is just a test stone used to detect the quality of gems. The higher the quality, the brighter the light it emits. It is cheap and easy to use. The system mall is really a good thing.

Looking at Kaito, who suddenly became a little excited, Chu Ming secretly raised his eyebrows. Isn’t this a permanent ticket to Kidd’s large-scale performances in the future?

Chapter 427 Playing is playing, but don’t make fun of me, Kudo Shinichi

Kuroba Kaito kept the magic stone close to his body. It was his amulet. Lucifer had just told him that after the magic stone absorbed enough blood and energy, it would be able to form a shield around him to block some damage.

This is a treasure, it must be kept well.

After putting away the stone, Kaito turned around with a bit of distress. After spending so many times together, he and the demon were pretty familiar with each other. He knew that although the demon had a rebellious personality, he probably wouldn’t attack him, so he spoke more casually: “I’ll do the physical work, what do you do?”

“Let me see your performance.” Chu Ming supported his head with one hand, his fingertips entwined with his long hair, his posture casual, “Don’t worry, I will change my appearance and blend into the crowd, and I won’t let you be soaked in blood.”

Kuroba Kaito was studying the video that Terai Huang Zhisuke had investigated at this time, but he saw Conan following Xiaolan in the corner of the video. After hearing what Chu Ming said, he pointed at the video and said, “Last time, this guy said you might be my assistant. If you go over there again this time, he will definitely think you are my accomplice again.”

Chu Ming’s eyelids were drooping slightly. When he heard his words, he looked up and saw Conan following Yuanzi into the museum with his teeth bared in the surveillance video. He looked around and didn’t know what he was looking at. He chuckled and said, “Then I’ll change my face and go over.”

Speaking of this, Kuroba Kaito felt that he was in the right place. He leaned over with bright eyes and said, “I’ll help you disguise yourself? I’m a professional~”

“Disguise?” The demon in front of him raised his chin proudly, “No need, I can transform.”

Kuroba Kaito widened his eyes and looked at the demon sitting in front of him. First, the two horns on his head slowly disappeared, and then his long hair suddenly became shorter and turned black. His sharp face became gentle, and the whole person instantly became – huh?

Kuroba Kaito looked depressed: “Why did you turn into my appearance? Officer Nakamori is going to be there that day, and it would not be good if he saw me like this…”

“You’re such a bother.” Chu Ming casually fiddled with his hair and changed it to Kudo Shinichi’s hairstyle. “Then let’s go with this. The soul in the body of the child you mentioned looks like this.”

Kuroba Kaito smiled slyly: “Not bad, not bad. This is good, this is good.”

As long as he goes like this, the sticky detective will definitely suspect him first, and he will have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Of course Chu Ming knew what he was thinking, but he did it on purpose. He had disguised himself so many times, to so many different people, but he had never pretended to be Kudo Shinichi in front of Conan!

It’s exciting just to think about it!

“How are you going to get that blue miracle? Do you need my help?” Chu Ming was picking and choosing in the mall to see if there were any props that could help him make a high-profile appearance.

However, Kuroba Kaito refused. He truly loved magic and hoped that his identity as Kaito Kidd could shine with magic: “This is my big magic show. I have to let that picky kid see what real magic is. If I need your help, then that’s magic.”

Chu Ming did not force it and stood up directly: “I have informed you of the matter. Please keep the crystal ball I gave you before. Call me if there is anything. Remember to call me if there is any excitement. It is too boring to stay in hell and fight all day long. Why not watch the survival changes of ants to change your mood.”

“…Then you should go fight.”

“Then I’ll wait for your performance.” Chu Ming jumped out of the window, spread his wings and hovered in the air, “I hope you won’t let me down.”

Watching the black figure gradually disappear in the night sky, Kuroba Kaito fiddled with a stack of magic cards in his hands unconsciously, listening to the message his father left for him on the phonograph, while thinking about what magic trick he should use to take away the gem. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of a good idea.

——ψ(*`ー′)ψ——

In the text message Kidd responded to this time, he said that he would officially take action at 4 pm on April 12, but he would go to explore the terrain the night before the official action, so you can go to see Kidd at the entrance of the museum tonight.
