Chapter 242
Li Yue, carrying the Enma's Blade, walked directly into the Portal. Ai Haibara Ai stared blankly at the Portal a while before following him in. Then the Portal closed.
Gin watched the Portal before starting the engine to leave.
But after the car was started, he suddenly realized something.
"Wait, he has Portal that can take him to every corner of the world, so why did he ask me to come and drive him?"
440. Gin is still being marginalized.
The teleportation Portal was a completely new experience for Haibara Ai.
Because this was something she had never understood or experienced before.
Li Yue had said so much before, that he wasn't from this world, that he was some kind of Bleach. Although Li Yue had a light in his hand, it was just a glow, which made him look a bit low-class. But the Portal was different.
Especially the Portal where Li Yue brutally Dankū to create a portal—the sheer audacity of that scene was incredibly impactful.
Teleportation is something that only appears in science fiction, but this time she experienced it in a magical way.
"Is this the Otherworld?"
After emerging from the Portal, Haibara Ai opened her eyes wide and began to observe her surroundings, trying to see what the difference was between the Otherworld and her own. Unfortunately, she felt that she couldn't see any difference, because it looked like a very ordinary alley, the kind you could see everywhere in Tokyo.
"Unfortunately, this is not Otherworld. This is still Tokyo, just a bit of the outskirts of Tokyo."
"The outskirts of Tokyo?"
Haibara Ai looked at Li Yue with some confusion. Li Yue had said before that he was going back to the Otherworld to find the gold, so why was he in the suburbs of Tokyo?
"Because gold doesn't care about the world, it's right here in this world."
Li Yue shrugged and explained.
"However, with Gin, I need to say it's in Otherworld."
Why did you lie to Gin?
"Because his heart still belongs to the organization."
Although Gin seemed very humble after joining the Chat Group and was extremely polite to Li Yue, his actions revealed that he was still loyal to the organization.
Originally, Li Yue had planned to spoil the story for Gin, telling him that he was the only real Gin in the entire organization, just like his username in the Chat Group. However, after meeting Gin face to face, Li Yue decided to let him continue to be kept in the dark.
As for the rest, providing yourself with something to enjoy is enough.
"Haibara Ai, do you think what I said is right?"
What do you mean by that?
Haibara Ai didn't quite understand what Li Yue meant. Suddenly saying that Gin was loyal to the organization, did that mean Li Yue knew the organization very well?
"It means exactly what it says. Although Gin acts very respectfully in front of me, he still thinks about his beloved organization. After all, he is one of the organization's veterans."
Li Yue shook her head.
"By the way, Shiho, do you know where the Twilight Mansion is?"
"Twilight Mansion?"
Upon hearing Li Yue's question, Haibara Ai was immediately puzzled. She hadn't heard of this place before, but as she pondered, she froze.
What did you just call me?
She hoped she had misheard, because after she asked him alone, Li Yue nodded firmly.
"Miyano Shiho, I didn't call you by the wrong name, did I?"
"You... know who I am?"
Haibara Ai stared at Li Yue in shock, never expecting that Li Yue knew her true identity.
"That's right, that white coat has always pointed to you. You are the owner of that white coat, the Sherry that Gin is looking for. I just disguised myself in front of Gin so that he couldn't see it."
"Why?"
Haibara Ai was puzzled as to why Li Yue would hide his identity. From the previous situation, it was clear that he was much more familiar with Gin.
"It's simple, because I want to!"
Li Yue gave a reason that left Haibara Ai speechless.
"I do know Gin, but there's a prerequisite: he was already a member of the Gin. Although he joined my organization not long ago, unfortunately, even after joining, he still thinks about his own organization. So I don't care about him; he's just someone I know."
Of all the people in the Chat Group, most of them have a good relationship with Li Yue. However, even among those with good relationships, there are those who are close to each other but who are distant. For example, Gin is one of those people. Although he has joined the Chat Group and is considered a member of the Chat Group, his level of intimacy with the other people in the Chat Group is obviously relatively low.
Others would consider the people in the Chat Group as friends, but he wouldn't.
"With that in mind, I won't be too close to him. After all, we're not really on the same page, so I can't really help him find the person he's looking for."
"But that has nothing to do with you knowing my name. He just told you he was looking for Sherry, not Miyano Shiho."
While Haibara Ai agreed with Li Yue's statement, she didn't completely agree. Gin hadn't mentioned his own name at all, so how did Li Yue know his name?
"Could it be that this is also one of your abilities?"
"That's not the case."
Although Li Yue could know the other person's name using her dream powers, this time it was clearly unrelated to her dream powers.
"Because before that, I happened to meet a woman named Miyano Akemi."
"Elder sister!?"
Haibara Ai was startled.
"That's right. When I met that woman, she was in a terrible state. She had been shot and was lying on the ground unable to move. She was still muttering about her sister and crying as she did so. She was so pitiful."
"Elder sister..."
Upon hearing the news about her sister, Haibara Ai's expression fell, and she looked like she was about to burst into tears. In her mind, this was exactly how her sister looked before she died. Li Yue probably met her sister before she died and learned her name from her sister before she died, which is why she called her Miyano Shiho just now.
Where is my sister's body now?
Although her older sister is dead, Haibara Ai still hopes to see her sister's body, or at least help dispose of it.
"A corpse? What corpse?"
Li Yue asked curiously.
"Of course it's my sister's body!"
"Where did your sister's body come from?"
"Um?"
Haibara Ai looked at Li Yue with a puzzled expression.
"Your sister isn't dead, so where would a body come from? After all, she ran into me, how could she possibly be dead?"
"Is my sister still alive?"
"Yes, she's still alive and well."
"Really? I thought Gin killed my sister!"
Hearing that her sister was still alive, Haibara Ai's voice rose with joy. When Gin threatened her earlier, she thought her sister was dead and she was in despair, which is why she swallowed the pill to commit suicide. Now that she heard that her sister was alive, she was overjoyed. Fortunately, her pill hadn't killed her, otherwise it would have been too much of a loss if she had died while her sister was still alive.
Taking advantage of Haibara Ai, Li Yue asked again.
"So, can you tell me now, do you know where the Twilight Mansion is?"
"Although I am happy, it is a pity that I really don't know where Twilight Mansion is."
"Alright, it seems we need to investigate a bit."
441. Aizen: I can't figure it out.
The Twilight Mansion can be considered a super treasure in the Conan World, because it is a huge castle made entirely of gold. Yes, a castle. Although it is called a villa, the scale of this huge building is on par with a castle, and the main body of the building is made entirely of gold.
The owner of the building was Karasuma Renya, a super-rich man in the 20th century whose wealth could be described as comparable to that of a country. He used his gold collection to build a huge castle. If the gold in the entire castle were converted into Japanese yen, it would be worth hundreds of billions of yen. Keep in mind that this was the yen at the end of the 20th century, which is truly terrifying.
Most importantly, the other party is the mastermind behind the Black Organization.
Li Yue wasn't interested in whether Karasuma Renya was the mastermind behind the Black Organization; he was only interested in Karasuma Renya's Twilight Mansion!
In Li Yue's eyes, that was a gold mine. Anyway, Karasuma Renya had always left the Twilight Mansion there without using it. He was clearly so rich, yet he still made Gin search for money all over the world.
Although Gin wasn't that close to the other members of the Chat Group, they were still Chat Group, weren't they? Li Yue should at least offer him some help, such as helping him solve his funding problem.
However, the gold will be provided by the leader of the Black Organization himself.
Because Li Yue saved Miyano Akemi, Haibara Ai's trust in Li Yue increased significantly. With Haibara Ai's help, they quickly found the location of the Twilight Mansion. After marking the location of the Twilight Mansion on the map, Li Yue used the power of the Anemo element to fly Haibara Ai all the way to the location of the Twilight Mansion.
At present, the Twilight Mansion has not yet revealed the golden walls to Conan, so it still looks like an old castle. Under these circumstances, almost no one would think that the outer walls of this huge castle are actually all made of gold.
After finding the Twilight Mansion, Li Yue did not hesitate at all. He drew the Enma's Blade and cleaved open an enormous spatial portal, teleporting the entire Twilight Mansion to Teyvat.
Of course, while sending the entire house to Teyvat, he also chopped off a large piece with the Enma's Blade, since he had agreed to give Gin a ton of gold in exchange for money.
The next day, Li Yue delivered 1.5 tons of gold directly to Gin. Although Li Yue had said there was a ton, Li Yue didn't actually weigh it. He just cut it into larger pieces. As a result, the large piece of gold he cut out totaled more than a ton. The excess gold was naturally converted into cash, and Gin's commission would naturally be higher, which Gin was happy to accept.
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: So, you exchanged hundreds of millions of yen for gold, planning to open a research institute in Gin's world?]
[Meme Lord: That's right, I plan to open a research institute and have my adopted genius girl do the research.]
[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: So you adopted another orphan?]
[The Strongest Coordinator: Again? Did Li Yue adopt an orphan before?]
[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: That's right, he adopted a goddess as his daughter before.]
Kasumigaoka was referring to Li Yue's previous attempt to persuade people to adopt Nahida, but the later Chat Group members were unaware of this.
[Perverted Scum Man: So, this is the second one Senior Li Yue has adopted this time?]
[So Arrogant! Does Senior Li Yue have a particular fetish for little girls?]
[Meme Lord:?]
Kid, watch your mouth.
[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: It's hard to say. You know, the last little girl Li Yue adopted was already 500 years old.]
[Give Me Some Face: 500 years old? Is she still a little girl?]
[Meme Lord: Of course, she's just a 500-year-old child.]
[I am hungry: Huh?]
[I am the real alcohol:...]
The two newest members who joined the group were clearly affected.
[Meme Lord: Is this really that hard to understand?]
[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: I think most normal people would find this hard to understand, since very few people here live to be 500 years old.]
In this Chat Group, the only one who can live to 500 years old is Aizen. Although Li Yue has a strong Reiatsu, his physical body probably won't live to 500 years old either. His soul can probably live to 500 years old after his physical body dies.
The others probably won't live to be 500 years old, because they are basically normal people. Although some of them have good abilities, none of them are immortal beings.
[Meme Lord: Actually, 500 years old is really not that long. Who knows, future group members might come in who have lived a very long time. In the world I know, there are many people who live very long lives, though of course, those are no longer considered human.]
[So Arrogant! Although Senior Li Yue said that, I think I'll live to be 100 first, though I'm not even sure I'll live to be 100.]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: We've gone off on a tangent. Li Yue, what are you planning to research at this research institute? Given your background, wouldn't it be more suitable to conduct research in your own world, or Xia Shiye's world? Why are you setting up a research institute in Gin's world?]
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Probably researching the Bleach.]
[Perverted Scum Man: Aizen- senpai has appeared too! By the way, Aizen- senpai, are you researching the Bleach of Gin's world?]
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: That's right, I'm researching it. Ever since I came here with Li Yue-kun, I've been researching the Bleach of this world?]
[So Arrogant! Won't Aizen- senpai have problems being around Bleach?]
[Meme Lord: Don't worry, it might affect others, but it definitely won't affect Captain Aizen at all. After all, Captain Aizen is Bleach too.]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Are there any commonalities between Bleach from different worlds?]
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: It's a pity that the Bleach of this world and my world have absolutely nothing in common.]
In the Conan World, Aizen was sending messages in the Chat Group while watching with great curiosity Edogawa Conan, who was hiding behind Mori Kogoro and using a transformation device to pretend to be doing deductions.
