Chapter 50
The banquet officially started at 6pm. Now it was 2:30pm. Some people had already arrived in advance. They gathered in the hall in groups of three or four to chat.
In front of the hall, plainclothes policemen received the invitations and checked the information. They received orders from Officer Nakamori to pinch the faces of those who were not allowed to enter. Suzuki Sonoko and others entered the hall soon.
After a few days of arrangement and adjustment, the appearance here was very different from when Suzuki Sonoko came last time. There were all kinds of flowers shipped from all over the place, hundreds of kinds of food were placed on the long table, and precious works of art could be seen everywhere.
The exhibition stand in the center was covered with red cloth, waiting for someone to tear it down, and the Crystal of Creation was placed in it.
"The Crystal of Creation in the newspaper is already very beautiful. I really look forward to seeing the real one." Mao Lilan said.
"We'll see him soon. I'm more looking forward to Mr. Kid's arrival than him." Suzuki Sonoko said with starry eyes, "He will definitely be as handsome as ever when he appears."
Conan: Haha, I really want her to know what Kid really looks like.
In the corner, the prisoner and the magician tried not to pay attention to Conan. They sneaked in through the priest's hole. It would be bad if they were discovered too early.
They dressed like the second generation of wealthy families. From time to time, someone wanted to meet them, but they always found a way to fool them.
[Man with code name Electric Eel (prisoner): Did we come too early? I'm so panicked. I'm afraid that we will be exposed for not having an invitation letter and then be taken away by the police.
Pandora Thief (Magician): Why panic? Be more open and honest. It's a way to accumulate experience. Anyway, you are just a supporting role. We will do more. Don't feel too much pressure.
Teitan Elementary School Student (Little Girl): The magician is right, and you are doing pretty well now, just keep it up. 】
The little girl floated in front of the prisoner, cheering him up.
[The man with the code name Electric Eel (Prisoner): Okay, I will try my best!
Pandora Thief (Magician): As for why we came so early, it was of course because we had to check the place in advance, to find out the road conditions first, so that we can run away more confidently.
Zoo Director (Prophet): Why didn't you check the place a few days in advance?
Pandora Thief (Magician): I forgot, and no one reminded me [forcing a smile]
More and more people came to the hall, and almost no one paid attention to the two strangers, the prisoner and the magician. The two, or to be more precise, three people, wandered around the hall, corridors, toilets and other places together, and got familiar with them.
Nakamori Ginzo, Maori Kogoro and Suzuki Jirokichi sat in a room, in front of a large screen, playing surveillance footage, several police officers watched diligently.
Except for the toilet, almost all places have cameras installed without blind spots, including sewers and ventilation pipes, even if those places are equipped with anti-theft nets.
"No suspicious people have been found so far." A police officer said.
Suzuki Jirokichi scanned each screen in turn: "Continue monitoring."
"Yes!"
"Why do I feel that those two people are a bit strange." Nakamori Ginzo noticed the two magicians, "I have seen them in several surveillances."
"Huh?" Suzuki Jirokichi looked at the two people he pointed at. They walked around here and there, and chatted from time to time.
"They should be more curious, young people, it's normal." Maori Kogoro speculated, Nakamori Ginzo thought about it and felt that he was suspicious because of Kaito Kid.
At six o'clock, all the guests attending the banquet were present. Suzuki Jiroji said goodbye to the two and went to host the banquet:
"Dear guests, welcome to this banquet at Honsan Villa. I, Suzuki Jiroji, would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone! Now, I officially announce that the banquet will begin immediately. At 8 o'clock tonight, the unparalleled Crystal of Creation will be officially unveiled. I believe it will be a feast for the eyes. Please look forward to it and let us enjoy this wonderful time together!"
Warm applause rang out, Suzuki Jiroji put down the microphone and left. The guests decided how to spend the next two hours.
On the rooftop, Spider had already arrived here. The first thing he did was to block the surveillance with a photo, and then set up traps in the air. Suddenly, his keen intuition told him that something was wrong. He rolled forward, and there was a spider web in his original position.
Looking back, a figure appeared on the edge of the rooftop. Judging from her figure curve, she was a woman. She was wearing a hat that covered most of her face, and a 3D spider was crawling on the hat.
He was wearing a tight top and shorts with a spiderweb pattern on his chest and pointed combat boots.A knife product was tied around her thigh.
Her hand was shining with a cold metallic light, it was a mechanical prosthesis!
Spider raised her left hand, and several spider silks flew towards Spider at a high speed. Spider dodged quickly. He was very interested in this woman now, so he didn't use illusion for the time being, and planned to see what the other party could do.
Spider swung his right hand forward, and a web popped out from the palm of his hand. Spider thought it was just like that in the last second, but in the next second, he found that no matter which direction he dodged, he would be stuck with a lot of spider silk, which was tougher and stickier than his own.
He saw the other party's mouth shape, saying: cocoon punishment.
There were more and more spider silks, and Spider decisively used illusion.
He also wore a mask on his face, and the three originally dim red dots lit up at this time. Spider only took a glance and found that the environment around him had changed.
"Chen Xin, what are you in a daze, it's your turn to give your opinion, where should the graduation farewell party be held this time?"
This is the face of the class monitor, and there are more familiar faces around him, and he is also sitting in his seat.
"I... I seem to have had a very long dream, but suddenly I can't remember it. My heart seems very anxious, as if I have forgotten something very important."
The monitor frowned: "Well, if you really can't remember it, put it aside for the time being, do something else, maybe you will suddenly remember it. Tell me your opinion on the farewell party."
"Well, I don't have any opinion, I'll see what you think, you decide."
Chen Xin didn't know what was wrong with her. She had been in the classroom for so long, but now she looked very nostalgic.
"How about we cosplay together?" The study committee member was an old second-dimensional, so it was normal for him to come up with this idea.
Several classmates agreed on the spot: "Okay, cosplay must be very interesting, but should we cosplay a character from a certain show together, or separately?"
"Let's be more organized, count the shows that everyone has watched and liked, and choose the one with the highest repetition rate to cosplay."
Everyone was very efficient, and the results were counted in a short while. The first one was Detective Conan.
Chen Xin's heart skipped a beat.
"By the way, I want to cosplay the joint skin of Identity V and Detective Conan. Is that okay? I like Identity V very much."
Chen Xin's heart skipped a beat again.
"Oh my god, what a good idea. I want to do that too! One is my favorite anime, and the other is my favorite game. It would be great to cosplay them together."
"I think so too. We are in the same field."
"By the way, do you like to play as a supervisor or a survivor?"
"Supervisor. I always get eliminated when playing as a survivor... I've been playing Spider recently, and I think it's funny when the survivor is cocooned."
Chen Xin felt dizzy, and the air became distorted: No, what I forgot was not a dream, but reality!
What on earth is it?
As her classmates' faces became blurred, she clearly realized:
It's fake. Everything I see now is fake!
She kept repeating this sentence in her mind. When her vision stabilized again, she was hanging in the air with a large spider web behind her.
As her memory came back, she closed her eyes and plugged her ears with earplugs to prevent herself from being affected by the illusion again. Then, she carefully felt the movement of the spider silk and simulated Spider's movements in her mind.
Spider was a little surprised that the other party could wake up so quickly without external force. It seemed that her difficulty level would rise to another level.
Without giving him time to think about it, Spider's attack began again. This time it was more aggressive than before. As long as he moved, a bunch of spider silk or spider webs would fly towards him.
In the air within a certain range on the rooftop, almost all of it was spider silk, as if this place had become a hunting ground for spiders.
Spider wanted to cast an illusion on her again, but he had not found the right time. No, to be precise, the other party was not affected by the illusion at all.
Then let's compete to see whose physical skills were better.
Spider had a clear understanding of the current strength of both sides. He knew that using spider webs in front of her would not benefit him, so he decided to try close combat.
He gradually approached the spider, and the spider felt this move through the spider silk. Then, she gestured with her hands in front of her, and a huge web appeared in the air.
Spider cursed inwardly, took a few steps back, dodged the big web, and rushed over at the fastest speed.
Spider pulled off the dagger on her thigh and threw it in the direction of Spider, then pulled off another dagger and prepared to meet the enemy.
Thirty seconds later, the two faced each other for the first time, but would Spider really fight with the opponent? Obviously impossible, she silently released a large amount of spider silk to hinder the opponent's actions. Anyway, the spider silk she stored was enoughEnough.
But this is not a long-term solution after all. Spider decided to leave. It happened that the purpose of fighting with Spider had been achieved. The skills were successfully played and even the illusion was experienced. This trip was worth it.
As for the rest, I wish others good luck. Ah.
[Circus Leader (Spider): I just fought with Spider. His "spider silk" is slightly inferior to mine, but everything else is better than mine. Everyone should be careful not to be fooled by illusions when facing him in the future.
Man codenamed Electric Eel (Prisoner): Oh my God, you PK with him right now? Did it happen so suddenly? It was too fast.
Pandora Thief (Magician): Great, how did you get rid of his illusion?
Circus Leader (Spider): Fortunately, in my subconscious, you are like that in my heart...]
