Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

He was very persistent on certain matters.

“Everyone has their own preferences! There’s no need to force anyone!” Fang Rui said, then asked the owner, “Do you have chili powder? If not, salt will do…”

Upon hearing this, the shop owner didn't say anything. It's normal for tastes to differ. In reality, would there be a shop that shouts "Get out if you don't like it"?

Fang Rui expressed his doubts about this.

The shop doesn't have chili powder, but it does have salt and other seasonings, since it mainly focuses on light flavors and doesn't have strong seasonings.

Seeing the group add salt one by one, Hattori Heiji didn't say anything more, but secretly clenched his fist, thinking that he wanted to conquer everyone's stomachs with Osaka's special cuisine.

No one paid attention to Heiji Hattori's expression and focused on eating their noodles.

Aside from the slightly bland taste, it was great in every other aspect. The noodles were cooked to the perfect firmness, and while the soup was a bit light, it was still quite delicious.

“Someone is watching us,” Grimmjow said suddenly, putting down his bowl.

The voice was very low, only the person next to him could hear it.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, but he was already observing his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.

Meanwhile, Conan Edogawa and Heiji Hattori also began to cautiously observe their surroundings, while Ran Mouri made a "Eh" sound, looking quite surprised.

"Where?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

“The corner, the table against the wall,” Ulquiorra replied.

The three of them looked over at the same time. Kogoro Mouri and Conan did not see anyone suspicious, but Heiji Hattori saw a familiar face.

Upon seeing an acquaintance, and considering the previous situation, he appeared thoughtful, vaguely guessing what was going on. He then stepped forward and walked towards his target.

Upon seeing Heiji Hattori's actions, Conan and Kogoro Mouri were immediately stunned.

Even if you've spotted a target, is there any need to be so reckless?

Just as the two were about to reach out and call out to Hattori Heiji, they heard him say, "Kazuha, what are you doing here?"

'Huh! Is there someone I know here?'

The two looked toward where Hattori Heiji was, and a girl with her head down, facing the wall, came into view.

Upon hearing Hattori Heiji's voice, the girl trembled, feeling a sense of unease—she'd been discovered! What should she do?

"Ahem! I came out to get something to eat." Kazuha tried to struggle a bit, not wanting to reveal the reason.

Chapter 439 The End

"Oh, really?"

Hattori Heiji squinted, looking like he was just going to listen to his nonsense.

"Okay! I came out with you." Under such scrutiny, Kazuha couldn't hold on for long. Her shoulders slumped, and she said weakly.

"Come with me, let me introduce you to our new friend."

As they spoke, the two approached Fang Rui and the others. Hattori Heiji introduced them one by one, giving detailed introductions to those he knew well and brief introductions to those he didn't.

Kazuha, on the other hand, seemed to be quite outgoing. In just a few seconds, she became familiar with Ran Mouri, and the two chatted and laughed together.

Fang Rui was a little stunned, not quite understanding why the two could become friends so quickly, but he quickly forgot about it. The noise outside the shop drew their attention, and they all turned their eyes to the outside of the shop.

Three cars were parked on the side of the street. The new car in the middle was hit by an object falling from the sky, which drew gasps from passersby.

Hattori Heiji and the others rushed out of the shop, while Fang Rui calmly paid the bill and then left the shop.

Outside the store, Hattori Heiji and the others were not seen. According to Kazuha, they had found some clues and had already entered the building across the street.

Fang Rui looked up at the top of the building and could clearly see a person looking around, bewildered and panicked.

Then, my gaze shifted to a person next to the police car, who was on the phone, probably contacting headquarters to send someone.

"interesting."

With three detectives in one place, a serious case is likely to occur. Will it be one case, two cases, or even more...?

However, the concentration of the special energy did not increase significantly; it remained in its initial state, steadily spreading...

"Tell me, who is the culprit?" Fang Rui asked.

"It's the person next to the police car." The Spirit King's gaze locked onto a certain person; he could clearly see the remnants of the victim's soul entangled with that person.

The answer was presented to him; how could he possibly make the wrong choice?

"I didn't see any souls~" Fang Rui's topics jumped around a lot, talking about one thing one second and another the next.

"Logically speaking, a soul with attachments will stay in the same place. Considering the current situation, from any perspective, this person should have attachments."

"But..." The Spirit King looked around but found no trace of the soul. "Where did it go?"

"Are the rules of the world different?"

"The world of Detective Conan?" Fang Rui pondered. Although the world had strange and unusual settings, it was not a purely ordinary world, and there were beings with extraordinary powers.

However, the protagonist beloved by the world is an unscientific person who firmly believes in science. His existence is about telling the story of "unscientific". He is also known as the "Magic Man of Light", which means he has some special energy that can suppress non-science... a product of Detective Conan.

"Can we find any remnants of the soul?"

Because he was very interested, Fang Rui decided to take it seriously.

"Let them go find it, I want to watch the show." King Ling indicated that he was of high status and that people shouldn't ask him to run errands.

Upon hearing this, Ulquiorra and the others had no objections and immediately left the area, spreading out to search for the lost soul.

The group is very strong in terms of perception. Although the target's spiritual pressure is very weak, there aren't many souls in the city, so finding him shouldn't be too difficult.

Meanwhile, the trio who had gathered information returned to the street and found a "prisoner" to ask for details.

"Look there." Fang Rui gently patted Kogoro Mouri's shoulder, gesturing for him to look in a certain direction.

Conan and the others, hearing this, looked in the direction Fang Rui pointed. A woman with a panicked expression came into view, a person who seemed to say "I have a problem" from every angle, making the three detectives' eyes light up.

'Without a doubt, this person is the key figure in the case!'

Thinking this, the three moved towards the location of a certain person. Upon seeing this, the "prisoner" did not show any change in expression. He did not have a detailed plan to begin with, only a rough outline...

Seeing Conan and the others make contact with one of their targets, he only thought to himself with a hint of annoyance: "This is a bit troublesome."

Then, I had no other thoughts.

Upon seeing a group of people approaching, one person instinctively ran away, hurriedly started the car, and drove off.

“There’s a problem.” Hattori Heiji’s tone was very firm.

"Did you write down the license plate number?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

“I remember.” Conan took out his notebook, wrote the license plate number on a blank page, then tore off the page and handed it to Hattori Heiji.

Among the crowd, he had a way to investigate the license plate number and thus pinpoint the target.

"Leave it to me! I'll have the results within an hour." With that, Hattori Heiji handed the note to one of the "prisoners."

Someone: "…………" That's a bit too smooth! Why don't you hesitate for a second?!

Muttering a curse to himself, the person caught the note and then contacted his colleagues at the bureau, asking them to help investigate.

As for them...

They were there to gather intelligence and wait for the officers from the bureau to arrive, since the scene needed to be protected.

Meanwhile, Ulquiorra and his companions were strolling around the city...

The three of them kept Fang Rui's instructions in mind and did not display any superhuman strength.

"Found it~" Ulquiorra looked in a certain direction, having confirmed where the target was.

Alone, he came to a secluded and deserted spot, lightly leaped up, and shot straight into the sky like an arrow released from a bow, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.

Although their abilities are restricted, they can still be used when the time comes.

The next second, Ulquiorra was already at the target's location. Because the target's existence was too fragile, Ulquiorra completely suppressed his spiritual pressure. Then, he took the dazed target and returned to Fang Rui's location.

The other two stopped searching after receiving Fang Rui's message and moved toward Fang Rui's location.

"It's different from the soul I know. Is it really a difference brought about by the world?"

The Spirit King seemed to be deep in thought. Compared to the souls of his own world, the souls of this world were much more fragile and more prone to corruption.

Looking at the soul entangled in resentment, it will surely fall into depravity within a few days, but before that, it should dissipate...

The black mist dissipated, and the souls grew thin.

The energy emitted by Conan can affect the existence of the soul, accelerating its dissipation.

Conan's actions in solving cases dispel resentment, making it easy to send it away...

Is he a different kind of Grim Reaper?

Thinking this, the Soul King looked up at the sky. Whether it was the method used by the Seireitei or the method used by this world, both had their flaws.

With no intention of using spiritual power to protect the samples, the two turned their attention elsewhere. Someone had already come to take over this place, and Hattori Heiji and the others moved to a new location, with Fang Rui and the others following behind...

In the archives, Hattori Heiji and others were thinking and waiting for news.

Fang Rui and the others were in a daze when he realized something: after entering the current world, the world's consciousness had already locked onto them and was constantly watching them.

After discovering Fang Rui and others' behavior, they intentionally guided certain things.

If Fang Rui and the others were curious about souls, he would arrange for souls to appear nearby; if they were curious about detectives, he would arrange for detectives and incidents to appear nearby...

In short, it was like being a host who catered to the guests' wishes.

But what is his seemingly "ingratiating" behavior? There must be a purpose behind it. So what is his goal?

Small favors are unlikely to bring about significant help.

However, the consciousness of this world seems to lack a clearer form of consciousness and is unable to communicate verbally.

Let's wait and see if the world's consciousness will come knocking.

While the two were lost in thought, the investigation into the incident was progressing steadily. After all, it was a very serious incident, and many people were investigating it, so relevant information had already been discovered.

The discoverer was the criminal.

'Interesting. He's clearly a criminal, yet he's helping the detective solve the case, stirring up trouble at the same time. What's he thinking?'

Fang Rui had some understanding of the incidents Conan had experienced, but unfortunately, when he watched the anime, he didn't deliberately memorize the plot, nor did he consciously remember the names of the victims and culprits. Moreover, he had different feelings every time he watched the story, so who would care about the names of ordinary supporting characters...
