Genshin Player in the World of Detective Conan

Conan, suddenly called out by Yin Kong, froze on the spot.

Paimon nodded from the side, wagging a finger triumphantly.

"What happens next isn't something a little kid like you can get involved in. You should just stay here obediently and don't worry your elders back home."

Hey, aren't you a kid yourself?

And a kid even younger than the current "Conan," at that.

Seeing Paimon's matter-of-fact admonishment, Conan immediately put on a pair of dead-fish eyes with inverted triangles.

However, Inspector Megure had clearly taken Yin Kong's words to heart.

Under the gaze of the inspector, Conan could only watch as Yin Kong and Paimon, one big and one small, disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the other world? It's really prosperous."

After leaving the abandoned building, looking at the bustling crowds and flashing neon lights on the street, Shikanoin Heizou couldn't help but sigh with similar emotion.

"I think so too," Paimon said, nodding her little head at first, but then quickly shaking it.

"But compared to this, I actually prefer Inazuma more. Because the people here are really strange, and all sorts of weird cases happen almost every day... I haven't encountered this many criminals even in Fontaine, they're practically like mint and sweet flowers by the roadside."

Hearing this, Shikanoin Heizou was slightly surprised.

"Isn't that a bit too exaggerated? I felt that the police officers just now were quite responsible, weren't they?"

Although they might have lacked in ability, their character should be fine.

With such police officers around, even if this city had a high frequency of cases, it shouldn't be as exaggerated as Paimon described, right?

Paimon, however, spread her hands helplessly.

"Forget it, I don't think you'll believe me even if I explain now. You'll understand in a few days."

Shikanoin Heizou's heart stirred.

He had one wish: to eliminate [evil].

In Inazuma, his way of eliminating [evil] was to join the Tenryou Commission and become a famous detective feared by all criminals.

As long as he, the [calamity] for criminals, existed, the criminals in Inazuma would have to seriously consider the consequences of being caught before committing any crimes.

If the crime rate in this world was so rampant, did that mean it was also lacking a renowned detective like him?

Of course, such thoughts flashed through Shikanoin Heizou's mind only for a moment.

The immediate priority was, naturally, to help Yin Kong find the missing cursed gold coins.

"Traveler, could you please retrace the route on the paper? If there were any detours, or if you could find the next neon pattern directly without needing to find it, I think that would be the breakthrough point..."

However, to Shikanoin Heizou's slight surprise, Yin Kong suddenly shook his head.

"Perhaps it won't be that troublesome, because I have existing memories."

Existing memories?

Seeing Paimon's confused expression, Yin Kong immediately pointed to the small umbrella in the photo and reminded her.

"Paimon, have you forgotten? The game company opposite that shop?"

Paimon froze for a moment, then quickly realized.

"Oh, I remember! It's that company called [Mankind], where lots of dark shadows are floating around, right?"

Although figures that resembled demons had begun to appear on the street, most of them were still just minor ones without even human forms.

Therefore, the simultaneous appearance of five or six humanoid demons naturally became particularly eye-catching.

"I remember you saying, Paimon, that you'd never play games produced by [Mankind] again in this lifetime."

As they spoke, they had arrived in front of the [Mankind] game company.

Whether it was luck or misfortune, Yin Kong and the others happened to arrive at the time when the game company employees were getting off work.

Soon, they saw a group of employees, all wearing the same ties and carrying the same old-fashioned briefcases, bustling out.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now, Traveler!"

Just as little Paimon was rubbing her hands together, Yin Kong shook his head and said, "Paimon, stay here with Shinobu and wait for me, okay?"

Judging from the humanoid shadows they had seen earlier, the demons hidden in this company were not only of a high level, but more importantly, there seemed to be a great number of them.

Under such circumstances, barging in with Paimon was hardly a foolproof plan.

Reality was not a game, after all. At least, Yin Kong didn't dare to expect that all enemies would ignore Paimon and only attack him for the time being.

Pity, if only my Lord Zhongli had C2.

Then I wouldn't have so many reservations.

Paimon, upon hearing this, was naturally somewhat disappointed but did not make a fuss, acting very sensibly.

"Alright, then you must be careful."

Yin Kong also looked at Kuki Shinobu, who emerged from the shadows:

"I'm counting on you, Shinobu."

Kuki Shinobu nodded gently:

"It's just a small favor. Rather, you, like Paimon said, need to be extremely careful..."

Yin Kong smiled and said:

"Naturally."

Kuki Shinobu quickly said to Paimon:

"By the way, Paimon, I remember there's a snack street not far from here. Shall I take you to explore it?"

After Shinobu took Paimon to the snack street, Yin Kong entered the [Mankind] game company building after switching Shikanoin Heizou to the back of the party in a nearby empty alley.

"Hello, may I disturb you for a moment?"

Seeing the beautiful, fair-skinned young man who suddenly appeared before her with a smile, the receptionist, caught off guard, felt her heart skip a beat.

Her gaze lingered on Shikanoin Heizou's two tear moles for several seconds before her face bloomed into a gentle smile. She asked:

"Of course, no problem. Esteemed customer, how may I help you?"

Shikanoin Heizou could naturally sense the other party's somewhat bold gaze, but he was long accustomed to such encounters:

"Excuse me, can I use your storage service here?"

"Yes, yes, of course." The receptionist nodded repeatedly, helpfully reminding him, "It's just a regular storage service; items stored today must be retrieved today. If it's long-term storage, the process is a bit more complicated, and we do charge a certain storage fee."

Is that really the case?

Shikanoin Heizou nodded slightly and asked:

"Then, for long-term storage, how long can items be kept at most?"

The receptionist replied:

"Three months. If items are not claimed after three months, we will dispose of them."

Only three months?

Does that bandit leader have the confidence to escape from prison within three months?

Or does he have other plans?

"Has anyone else applied for long-term storage recently, especially foreigners?"

This was obviously a strange question, but facing the beautiful, fair-skinned young man's smile, the receptionist clearly didn't have the mind to think about such things anymore:

"Come to think of it, just two days ago, a strange person, all bundled up, came to apply for storage..."

That's right, it must be him.

With no further doubts, Shikanoin Heizou politely declined the receptionist's request to exchange phone numbers.

After leaving the front desk, he quickly snuck back in through the back door.

In fact, he didn't need to ask where the long-term storage lockers were, because those shadowy figures had already shown them the way.

Since it was after work, and very few people would use other companies for long-term storage, their actions went very smoothly.

Along the way, they only encountered these narrow ghost shadows.

Yin Kong's intrusion seemed to have disturbed the demons' "party," so they swarmed him almost all at once:

"Can you see us?"

"Hey, you can see us, right?"

It had been a long time since he had heard these familiar voices. Yin Kong couldn't help but feel a touch of nostalgia.

However, as the saying goes, learn from your mistakes. Although Yin Kong really wanted to shout "Innate Evil Demon Imp" and then use Vortex Vanquisher to clear out these annoying guys.

His rationality, however, stopped him from acting on the impulse.

Old rules: deploy shield first, then switch to Fischl.

"Hahaha, is it finally my turn to act, this Princess?"

Fischl, who hadn't had a proper fight since being summoned, had excitement written all over her face:

"Go, Oz!"

Then, amidst protests, she was ruthlessly switched back backstage by Yin Kong.

After Shikanoin Heizou, equipped with Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers, made a brief appearance, the character on the field finally returned to Zhongli.

Yin Kong's series of actions were fluid and very swift.

Only now did those narrow ghost shadows finally react:

"He can see us!"

"He can see us!"

"Delicious!"

Clearly, monsters with complete cognitive abilities like the [Chameleon Witch] were, after all, only a tiny minority.

These Narrow Ghost Shadows didn't think. Yin Kong's actions were obviously beyond what a normal human could do, and he was definitely not to be trifled with.

They only sensed the attraction of flesh and blood, and immediately rushed forward in a frenzy, wanting to tear him to shreds and devour him.

However, this was exactly what Yin Kong wanted.

Facing the demons and monsters surging from all directions, Zhongli chuckled lightly, and the [Black Tassel Spear] in his hand already glowed with a familiar golden light.

Chapter 67: The Twelve Trials

The excited monsters swarmed forward, eventually converging into a pitch-black tide, as if to completely drown Zhongli.

Naturally, they missed.

Because Zhongli's figure had already disappeared from his original spot, ascending into mid-air--

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack...

Golden Geo spears were thrown down by the hands of this Geo Archon.

In Yin Kong's eyes, the demons and monsters within this black tide had merged into one, indistinguishable from each other.

Yet, every Geo spear Zhongli threw pierced through the black tide, and with incredible precision, impaled a Narrow Ghost Shadow.

Although the levels of these Narrow Ghost Shadows were all above thirty, theoretically more than ten levels higher than Zhongli at this moment.

But don't forget, even that [Chameleon Witch] from before, before transforming, was once caught off guard and had its weakness exploited by Zhongli, who instantly killed it. How could this bunch of trash compare?

Not to mention, over the past three days, Yin Kong had farmed a set of three-star [Requiem] Artifacts for Zhongli.

Although the main and sub-stats were completely unwatchable, they had all been maxed out.
