Me and countless me.

Chapter 550 The Ultimate Detective Weapon

Shinichi Kudo's pupils trembled violently, and Li Ke also sensed more and more clearly what that power that altered cause and effect was!

"This feeling... is it the realm of gods?"

Li Ke raised his head in surprise, because the distorted causal power he had sensed earlier was the power of the 'Divine Realm'. Therefore, he was no longer affected after he stopped hiding his possible status.

This is because it's a suppression based on life level.

If you have enough power, you can resist it, but if you don't, your cognition will be completely overwhelmed, and you won't even be able to perceive it.

If he did not reveal Inuyasha Riko's power, his current physical and spiritual strength would indeed continue to be distorted by this power that reverses cause and effect, making him completely unaware of any abnormality. Even if he did notice something was wrong, he would completely forget it under the influence of this power.

And he understood why the monster said Shinichi Kudo was an evil god.

This is the power of the gods, but Shinichi Kudo feels very strange to him because he has no divinity. Although his body is somewhat abnormal, it is not beyond the level of humans, yet Shinichi Kudo can use the power of the divine realm.

"Moreover, he continuously activated the power of the divine realm without consuming his own life force or soul, and his 'existence' itself was not consumed. Does that mean he was consuming the power of faith? But there is no trace of faith power on Shinichi Kudo's body..."

Looking at Shinichi Kudo, Li Ke couldn't help but frown, because this was very abnormal. The power of faith wasn't actually that magical; many celebrities and singers possessed it, and given Shinichi Kudo's fame, it was impossible for him to be without any power of faith. So he channeled the power of faith into his eyes to examine Shinichi Kudo at this moment.

However, the moment Li Ke looked at Shinichi Kudo, Shinichi's body suddenly froze on the spot, and in Li Ke's eyes, he saw countless dense strands of faith power on Shinichi Kudo's body, as well as a huge net woven from the lines of these faith powers!
Countless streams of faith converged from the sky, and with the help of Shinichi Kudo's yearning for bizarre cases, they were transformed into the power of the 'Divine Realm,' which then continuously acted upon its surroundings, shaping them into the form that Shinichi Kudo desired!
This is not something innate! It's human ingenuity!

"Someone used Shinichi Kudo to set up an ascension ritual?! With this structure, no wonder the cases he encounters are all so bizarre... This divine realm can induce ordinary cases to become bizarre. Although it won't incite evil thoughts or make people commit evil intentions, those who would normally commit crimes will try to increase the complexity of the cases... What superb technology!"

Li Ke tried his best to observe the ritual and the effect of the divine realm, but because his own power was not enough, he could not see through the ultimate purpose of the ritual. But it didn't matter; observing the effect of the divine realm affected by the ritual would also help him understand some things.

And the most obvious thing is right next to him!

Li Ke turned his head and looked at Fei Hui to the side.

That was the last trace of Toshio Utsumi. Originally, he had been completely burned out, but under the power of this divine realm, cause and effect began to distort, trying to revive Toshio Utsumi.

However, because of Li Ke's existence, this operation made it impossible for Shinichi Kudo to change the reality of Toshio Utsumi's death. He was even unable to manipulate the cause and effect of people like Hitomi Kisugi and Miko who had even the slightest connection to him.

But it can deceive itself!

Li Ke sensed that the ritual was beginning to take effect on the divine realm, and a powerful force of causal manipulation erupted. The last traces of demonic energy left behind by Utsumi Toshio began to dissipate, and the traces of the battle silently returned to the range that was within human reach. Kudo Shinichi's dazed gaze also became clear.

Most importantly, a Toshio Utsumi appeared out of thin air on the ground, but Li Ke knew at a glance that it was just a breathing lump of flesh: it had no soul, no self-awareness, and was not the Toshio Utsumi at all. It even had a lifespan of only two days. It was just a puppet created by the ritual on Shinichi Kudo and the divine realm to deceive him.

Then his shocked expression slowly disappeared, and he returned to his nonchalant attitude, looking at the terrified Ran and Sonoko, and made a speechless remark.

"Tch, what are you all so surprised about? Isn't it normal for a karate master to break through a wall? Xiaolan, didn't you say that Li Ke is even better than you? You have to believe in science, science. Ghosts and monsters don't exist."

As Shinichi Kudo finished speaking, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki stared at him in astonishment, while Reiko Mikami couldn't help but ask if he was blind, so she couldn't help but speak up.

"Hey! You saw what Toshio Utsumi looked like when he turned into a monster, right? Why are you still acting like this!"

This ritual is manipulating Shinichi Kudo's own divine realm to deceive himself! This allows the ritual to continue, preventing Shinichi from believing in any extraordinary existence!

However, Shinichi Kudo pointed mockingly to the spot next to Reiko Mikami.

"Huh? A monster? You mean this looks like a monster? I don't see any trace of a monster here. But, didn't you guys go a bit too far? He looks like he's about to die."

At this moment, Shinichi Kudo's appearance was basically nothing but nonsense in the eyes of Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, and Reiko Mikami was even more furious!
"What nonsense are you spouting! Didn't you witness Toshio Utsumi become a monster and turn to ashes with your own eyes?! How can you still say such things..."

As Mikami Reiko spoke, she subconsciously looked in the direction Kudo Shinichi was pointing, and then her beautiful eyes widened suddenly. When the others present looked over, they couldn't help but widen their eyes as well, and some even screamed in surprise!

Because a 'Toshio Utsumi' lay quietly in the ruins, and although he looked very miserable, you could tell from his constantly rising and falling chest that he was still alive!

"This, how is this possible?"

Mikami Reiko instinctively took a step back, and everyone present couldn't help but gasp, then turn to look—

The direction of Meishen Lingzi!
Because in everyone's mind, at this moment, only Mikami Reiko is a professional, so naturally they want to watch her!
However, at this moment, Mikami Reiko herself was also bewildered, because she simply did not understand why such a thing was happening!
"Could what I saw before have been a hallucination?! That's impossible! How could Toshio Utsumi have left a body under those circumstances? Did I see wrong?"

Mikami Reiko covered her head, beginning to doubt herself, but Li Ke sensed that her spiritual power had weakened considerably under the suppression of Kudo Shinichi's domain, as well as her chaotic thoughts, and understood exactly what kind of power the divine domain guided by the ritual on Kudo Shinichi possessed.

After all, they dared not let Shinichi Kudo know about the extraordinary abilities, and they suppressed the extraordinary power and thinking ability. Their attitude and purpose were already very clear.

"Suppressing the extraordinary to make them 'legitimate'?"

Li Ke's lips twitched, but considering the various monsters and demons in this world, it wasn't impossible that Shinichi Kudo was someone's ultimate tool or weapon prepared for the world's extraordinary beings. After all, given the existence of extraordinary beings, it was simply impossible for ordinary groups and those without talent to do nothing.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable for a group of people to gather together and use various methods to turn Shinichi Kudo into a god, so that no extraordinary events can occur in his area, and even to suppress special extraordinary events.

However, there is one problem: the core of this ritual is singular, which is that the ritual exists based on Shinichi Kudo's thirst for bizarre cases and his need to solve the puzzles.

If Shinichi Kudo develops a dislike for deduction as a result, then the ritual will instantly collapse.

However, the police's attitude towards Shinichi Kudo just now made the other party feel disgusted with his identity.

Now, his identity as Shinichi Kudo has probably become an obstacle to pursuing the 'case', because his identity as the savior of the Japanese police makes it impossible for anyone to question his reasoning. Those who want to commit crimes will stop on their own after seeing him. No matter how powerful his divine domain is, he is helpless in the face of such a situation.

However, it's clear that whoever used this method on Shinichi Kudo had anticipated this. Shinichi's ritual also has the ability to deceive him; after seeing the extraordinary, it actively guides Shinichi's divine realm to deceive him, making things appear 'reasonable' in Shinichi's eyes. Therefore, it's impossible that there wasn't a way to guide Shinichi to solve this problem himself. And frankly, Li Ke believes that Shinichi himself is already considering how to solve this problem.

Because he's a super reasoning fanatic who can ignite the power of faith and transform it into a divine realm simply by relying on his love for reasoning!
"So, in essence, shrinking is Shinichi Kudo's desire to be able to freely face all sorts of difficult problems and challenges, reason without being interfered with by anyone based on his identity, and without having to shoulder any responsibility for his identity? Hakiko, you bastard..."

Although Li Ke had long sensed that Shinichi Kudo valued reasoning more than anything else, she was still speechless when she actually realized the possible truth.

If he had a girlfriend as beautiful as Ran Mouri when he was in high school, she wouldn't have been able to go to college; she would have been busy taking care of her kids much earlier.

However, Shinichi Kudo felt that Ran Mouri would hinder the reasoning, which is really baffling.

However, to Li Ke's surprise, when he sorted out his doubts, Ran Mouri did not look at Reiko Mikami, but instead looked at Shinichi Kudo to the side.

"Shinichi... what on earth is going on?"

Ran Mouri isn't stupid. She clearly saw Toshio Utsumi turn to ashes, and she also witnessed him kill the police officer guarding him with superhuman strength. That's why she, Shinichi, and Sonoko came to warn Li Ke and Hitomi Kisugi.

Then she watched helplessly as Toshio Utsumi, who had turned into a monster, turned to ashes, but the moment Shinichi Kudo arrived, Toshio Utsumi's body was restored!

Even Ran Mouri herself couldn't convince herself that this had nothing to do with Shinichi Kudo!
But seeing the shocked Hitomi Kisugi and the people looking at them with strange eyes, especially Li Ke who seemed to see through everything, she subconsciously took a step back, then grabbed Shinichi Kudo and Sonoko Suzuki who were still about to say something, and ran away into the distance!

She didn't know what had happened or why, but her instinct was to escape, to take the people she cherished away from this strange place!
"Xiaolan?"

Shinichi Kudo uttered a questioning sound, but Ran Mouri remained silent, simply running wildly, which left Shinichi feeling somewhat bewildered.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Ran Mouri's eyes grew increasingly complicated. She believed that Shinichi Kudo had no intention of deceiving her, but what if there really was something strange about him?

Ran Mouri didn't dare to think about it; she just wanted to go home. So, at a corner, she looked at Shinichi Kudo, panting heavily.

"Shinichi, are you still Shinichi?"

Shinichi Kudo was a little confused, while beside him was Sonoko Suzuki, panting so hard she had forgotten her fear. It seemed that if Ran Mouri kept running with her for a while longer, she would be sent to the morgue.

However, seeing how concerned Ran Mouri was, Shinichi Kudo still spoke with a puzzled look.

"Of course I'm Shinichi, so what?"

However, Ran Mouri, panting heavily, looked at Shinichi Kudo, who wasn't even out of breath, then glanced at Sonoko Suzuki, who was lying on the ground panting, and at her own severely depleted strength, and pursed her lips.

"Okay... then let's go home."

Shinichi Kudo: "?"

He didn't understand, but he excitedly began to explain why he had just thought that Toshio Utsumi would go back to find Hitomi Kisaki.

But at this moment, Ran Mouri could no longer listen to everything with the same sullen but admiring attitude as before.

However, she forgot one thing, or rather, one person.

"Is there anyone who can help me? I'm so scared!"

Lying on the ground, panting heavily and unable to stand up, Sonoko Suzuki watched the setting sun and the slowly enveloping darkness, and made a shameful sound.

However, Li Ke was not idle at this time, because after Shinichi Kudo left, he had to face normal police consultations.

So when he led the numb Miko and Mikami Reiko out of the police station, it was already evening. The first thing they saw was Hitomi Kisugi and the other two, who had already escaped questioning and were now sitting in an extremely expensive car.

Li Ke could tell from their current behavior that they wanted to keep him as a mistress!
