Me and countless me.

Chapter 537: All the talents have arrived
As we all know, in the world where Conan exists, there are things like magic, swordsmanship capable of cutting stars, ghosts, and retribution. Although the things Conan encounters are all incredibly scientific, there are sometimes small accidents.

For example, a high school girl who can smash a telephone pole with a single punch, an elementary school student who can kick and destroy all sorts of things with a soccer ball, even a falling satellite, and a high school karate student who can break a load-bearing column with his fists and feet, and whose punches and kicks with a soccer ball can destroy a pavilion.

But this world is still very scientific.

It's perfectly scientific, at least in Conan's eyes.

But most importantly, there are the endless reasons for killing and all sorts of bizarre ways of killing. Li Ke felt that although he was not omniscient after sharing his talent, he would still encounter some minor accidents when applying it in life.

"Or should we send the goods abroad? It seems safer overseas?"

Touching his chin, Li Ke pondered the possibility of this, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. After all, he could protect himself, and his status wasn't high enough to allow him to influence people outside of Japan and still ensure the smooth operation of his work.

Putting everything else aside, many of the musicians he collaborates with are based in Japan, and he simply can't afford to give up these connections.

"So, the reason I didn't notice something was wrong with this world before was because I was just an ordinary person back then?"

Thinking this, Li Ke picked up the water bottle. Because he had taken a physical education exam before, he had developed the habit of not drinking water from outside, which is why he prepared his own water.

Therefore, to ease her tension about encountering Conan, Li Ke opened her water bottle, took a sip, and then abruptly put the bottle down. The reason? Because the water didn't taste right; there was something... something...

"Bitter almond flavor."

Li Ke tasted it carefully, then silently spat out the water in his mouth.

That's right, it smells like cyanide, the king of poisons.

"So I couldn't escape after all? But Shinichi Kudo was assassinated just as he was passing by me. Could there really be a law of cause and effect here?"

Li Ke's lips twitched as he approached the faucet. Just as he was about to touch it, his keen senses alerted him to something amiss. He then noticed a blade disguised as a faucet blade on the faucet handle, along with an unidentified liquid.

After a moment of silence, Li Ke wanted to pick up his toothbrush and use it to turn on the faucet, but looking at the toothbrush in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively touched the faucet handle with his toothbrush.

Then he heard a crisp impact, and in the impact, an extremely tiny hollow needle was revealed in the toothbrush bristles, clearly containing venom.

Nodding, Li Ke put down her toothbrush and went to the refrigerator to get a milk carton to rinse her mouth. But the moment she saw the milk carton, she squeezed it hard, and sure enough, she saw a thin stream of milk spray out from the top of the carton, and the milk was an abnormally white color.

After putting down the milk, Li Ke picked up the canned cola and carefully examined the can. Sure enough, she noticed an unnatural coating on the drinking spout.

But this was not the end, because Li Ke noticed that his oranges had been tampered with. So he picked up an orange and examined it carefully, and sure enough, he saw tiny pinholes on the orange.

Li Ke: "…………"

The poison used in each method is different, but the toxins used in each method are undoubtedly highly toxic.

How much do they want him dead?
Li Ke no longer wanted to look at the freezer compartment, because his keen eyes sensed a sudden flash of light. So he jerked his head, and a crossbow bolt instantly pierced through his window, grazed his hair, and landed firmly on the door!
This seemed to be a signal, and with the sound of breaking glass, Li Ke saw a girl in a black bodysuit crawling out from under his bed!

The girl's eyes widened, as if she hadn't eaten for days, and she looked at Li Ke with infatuation, but the words she spoke were chilling!

"Stay with me forever, Prince Li Ke! Let's savor the ultimate meaning of life together—death!"

As she spoke, she swung the kitchen knife in her hand and attacked Li Ke with a standard samurai thrust. Li Ke couldn't help but want to praise her, because this thrust could be considered a samurai move even in the world of Inuyasha!

"Your skills are good enough to be a low-ranking samurai! Why don't you just live a normal life?"

The girl arrived too quickly, so he didn't have time to dodge, and the kitchen knife grazed his nose. At this moment, the girl showed great sportsmanship, stepping on the empty space under his feet to prevent him from turning around and dodging, trying to make him lose his balance and fall to the ground.

So the girl suddenly reversed the kitchen knife in her hand and chopped at the spot where Li Ke would fall!

"Take back what you said! You're already more powerful than Tiandao Zaoxing!"

Li Ke couldn't help but complain. Then, he rolled over, pressed his palm to the ground, and with a speed that the girl couldn't react to, he spun around and kicked the girl in the stomach with a Thomas spin!
The girl was sent flying backward and crashed heavily onto Li Ke's sofa, letting out two shrill screams!
Li Ke hurriedly stood up from the ground, pointing at the girl speechlessly. He couldn't understand why she wanted to kill him, because he had never even seen the girl before!

So, looking at the girl who was constantly crying out in pain and had lost the ability to fight, Li Ke, panting, couldn't help but ask a question.

"Hey, can you tell me why you want to kill me?"

The girl lay on the sofa, clutching her lower abdomen, staring at Li Ke with a fascinated expression.

"Because...because, because I only want you to belong to me! Only your death can make that happen!"

The moment she finished speaking, she seemed to have gained boundless strength again, and she stood up directly from the sofa. But as soon as she stood up, Li Ke kicked her back onto the sofa with a left front kick!

There were two screams again, but this time Li Ke used a little more force, and the sofa shattered. A tall figure rolled out from the sofa, and a dagger fell to the floor!
Li Ke stared in astonishment at the collapsed sofa, then looked at the man who had fallen out, and immediately recognized him.

"Tetsuya Abe! What are you doing here!"

Abe Tetsuya, a junior of Li Ke, is also a novelist. His major works include novels such as "The Joy of a Summer Night in a Firehouse" and "The Appearance of a Summer Night in a Firehouse". However, he has never become famous because of his poor grades.

But in his memory, Abe Tetsuya was a very gentle junior! He even recommended several of his books!

However, at this moment, Abe Tetsuya's face was contorted, and he was holding a dagger tightly in his hand, looking at Li Ke with a very venomous expression.

"Kill you, kill you and I'll become famous! Kill you and Reiko will like me!"

What a classic reason for committing crimes in the world of Detective Conan!

This was Li Ke's immediate reaction upon hearing Abe Tetsuya's words. At that moment, Abe Tetsuya grabbed a dagger and charged at him, but Li Ke heard a roar!

"His life is mine!!"

With that shout, another crossbow bolt shot through the window. Ambition had no time to dodge and was struck through the brain by the bolt, which emerged from his forehead! Then, a man holding a crossbow appeared at Li Ke's window, looking at him with a grim expression. Li Ke recognized him; he was a fervent fan of one of the singers she had worked with. Because the song he had given the singer had made the singer famous, he felt the singer no longer belonged to him and had caused trouble many times.

So Li Ke no longer wanted to complain, because killing someone for this reason was considered relatively mild in the world of Detective Conan.

The man quickly raised his crossbow, aimed it at Li Ke again, and roared furiously with a ferocious expression.

"Give me back Lingbo Xiang!!"

With a roar, the crossbow bolt shot straight at Li Ke's head, but Li Ke dodged it casually once again. Under Abe Tetsuya's unwilling gaze, Ling Min dodged the attack and looked speechlessly at the three people present. Then, she found an untampered mineral water bottle on the fallen Abe Tetsuya, took a sip to rinse her mouth, washing away the cyanide water she had accidentally drunk earlier. Then, she looked at her house and sighed.

He then picked up a chair to sit down, only to find needles hidden in it as well. Frustrated, he tossed the chair aside and spoke loudly.

"Anyone else? Come out here! I'm in a hurry to see Editor Akutagawa!"

As Li Ke spoke, a person carrying a lighter and a gasoline bottle emerged from his ceiling. The person was his high school classmate, a tragic figure who had a crush on him.

A burly man wielding a hammer emerged from under the floorboards. He was a fanboy who always lost to him in the junior high school sports meet and was unhappy that he hadn't gone professional.

A female office worker emerged from the closet, wearing his clothes, with a flushed face and holding a three-piece kidnapping kit. Meanwhile, an eighty-year-old woman who had been given cabbage by Li Ke walked out of the kitchen.

Li Ke was speechless looking at the old woman. He could understand if other people came to kill him, but he had given this old woman cabbages before!
So Li Ke couldn't help but ask.

"Grandma, it's possible that I did something wrong if others killed me, but why did you kill me? I even treated you to a meal!"

The old woman's face was full of resentment, and with a speed that would make even Usain Bolt cry, she grabbed a fire axe and chopped it down on his head.

"Because you are better than my grandson! No one can be better than my grandson!"

Li Ke nimbly dodged the axe, which embedded itself hard in the floor, scattering countless fragments and prompting Li Ke to utter another complaint.

"Your grandson is only eight years old!!"

But before he could regain his footing, the muscular man swung his hammer and smashed it down on Li Ke's feet.

This forced Li Ke to spin around and kick to the side, knocking the hammer out of the other man's hand, and then kick the muscular man in the chest.

The muscular man took a step back, and then the resentful expression on his face deepened.

"Why, why did you defeat me! You didn't want to be a professional athlete! You didn't want to carry on my dream!"

He roared and swung his hammer again, charging towards Li Ke like a windmill.

Li Ke immediately stepped back, and the instant his opponent slashed at him, he took a lunge forward, pushed off with his back foot, and leaped up like a cannonball, punching his opponent in the face and knocking him to the ground.

"If you have a dream, go after it yourself! Why are you asking me?"

The moment he landed, he rolled violently, as a crossbow bolt was already in front of him. But as he retreated, a noose took the opportunity to ensnare him.

Li Ke quickly steadied himself, dodged the old woman's horizontal axe, hooked the rope with his foot, pulled the woman holding the noose down, then grabbed the rope and swung it hard. The end of the rope whipped the fanatic fan's finger like a whip, making him too painful to pull the trigger to shoot!

However, in that instant, the axe and hammer arrived again. The group worked together so well that they seemed to have fought their way through a battlefield. Li Ke had to risk his life to the side. Just as the axe was about to hit him, he spread his arms and used the axe to cut the rope. Then he stepped forward and blocked the hammer handle with one hand, preventing the hammer from hitting his head. Then he delivered an elbow strike to the strong man's Tanzhong acupoint!

However, just as Li Ke was about to press his advantage, he heard a noise at the door. He quickly turned his head and saw editor Akutagawa walk in with a gloomy expression, holding a briefcase in his hand.

Seeing that he had found his home, Li Ke felt a little guilty and worried that Akutagawa might be accidentally hurt. So he kicked away the old woman's axe while shouting at Akutagawa!

"Editor Akutagawa, run! Go call the police! Leave this to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present showed a look of horror. However, Akutagawa did not leave. Instead, he closed the door, took out a pistol from his briefcase, and pointed it at everyone present.

Li Ke: "?"

He was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Akutagawa's editor muttering venomous words to himself.

"Damn it, I'm the one who brought Li Ke up here! He wants to kick me out and replace me with someone else! To steal my credit! Then I'll destroy him!!"

Editor Akutagawa's face contorted in rage, and he roared at the others!
"Kill Li Ke right now! Or I'll shoot you all!"

Li Ke: "…………"

However, no one listened to him. When they realized that the other party was also there to kill Li Ke, the others roared and charged at Li Ke again. Akutagawa, startled, did not hesitate to pull the trigger at Li Ke.

Looking at the nooses, crossbow bolts, hammers, axes, and bullets rushing towards him, Li Ke was utterly speechless at the world around him.

"Now I don't have to rush."

Then, he moved.

Gunshots and screams rang out continuously in the room, then fell completely silent. Just as Shinichi Kudo and Ran came out of the convenience store, Li Ke opened his window, leaned against it, and shouted at Shinichi Kudo, who hadn't yet become Conan.

"Hey there, famous detective! I have a case here!"

Shinichi Kudo's eyes lit up, and he immediately abandoned Ran Mouri, who was still in a daze, holding a popsicle that could be separated and intending to eat it separately from Shinichi Kudo, and rushed into Li Ke's house.

Ran Mouri: "…………"
