He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

"Hehehehe... Hahahahahaha!!! The gods have already said it."

"Everyone must die!"

Boom——! ! !

Another loud bang rang out, this time from Masayo Aida's eavesdropping.

Ying Sheng took his hand out of his pocket, raised it and held Xiao Lan's hand: "Don't be too nervous, it's nothing. It's almost six o'clock now, let's go eat first."

"Where to?" Xiaolan asked softly.

“The Buddha said that I have attained the Samadhi of Non-Contention, and am the foremost among men, the foremost Arhat who is free from desire.” Ying Sheng smiled slightly, “Samadhi House, let’s go to Samadhi House.”

The Samadhi of Non-Contention?

Inside that same overseas boutique, Kiyoko Yukimatsu, who had been looking rather gloomy under the watchful eyes of the shop assistants, suddenly smiled knowingly.

Non-contention means forgetting both self and external things, and thus avoiding strife and trouble.

Samadhi is also known as right concentration.

What Ying Sheng wanted to tell her was very simple: relax, nothing will happen today.

of course,

Kiyoko turned and sighed softly again. She remembered the next line of that scripture:

I do not think of it.

She didn't really remember the exact meaning. These were things she had heard Ying Sheng casually say while she was swinging on the balcony of Ian Apartment one night when she was still there.

But the general idea was to tell her not to be so fixated on it.

Ah, he's just trying to comfort her.

I'm sorry, this plan has failed miserably. You can no longer become Vermouth's alter ego. Wait for the right opportunity; there will be another chance.

That's probably it.

What a shrewd guy; he always has a backup plan, no matter what.

Although her arrogance led to this failure, she actually enjoyed the feeling.

I'm almost really falling in love with you, Mr. Moon.

Kiyoko finally turned her head to look at a shop assistant kneeling on the ground beside her. She bent down slightly, took a delicately patterned silk handkerchief, and gently wiped the blood from the corner of the shop assistant's mouth. The shop assistant trembled slightly, but did not dare to back away.

"I'm sorry, my identity was discovered by the main wife just now, and I lost my temper. I didn't hurt you, did I?" Qingzi said softly.

The shop assistant quickly shook his head: "No, Miss's hand wasn't heavy, and I misspoke, so I deserved to be hit."

"Oh, you're making me feel bad."

Kiyoko placed the blood-stained handkerchief in her hand and smiled slightly: "It's for you."

The shop assistant thanked her profusely, her eyes genuinely shining with joy: "Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"

This silk scarf is almost worth a month's salary for her.

“I want to buy it back now, for three times the price. Are you willing?” Qingzi asked.

The shop assistant was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, while even those around them looked on with envy and jealousy.

To get such benefits just from getting slapped is really lucky.

Yes.

Looking at the five prompts that suddenly popped up in his mind, Ying Sheng had a similar thought.

Didn't his plan fail miserably?

[Love +3]

[Love +2]

[Killing Intent +5]

[Killing Intent +1]

[Killing Intent +1]

If this substantial gain is the price of failure, then we're truly lucky.

The affection undoubtedly comes from Kiyoko and Nozomi; we are truly grateful for their kindness.

As for killing intent, the one with +5 is definitely Gin, the other two...

Huh?

The killing intent has reached 60 points, a new milestone has been reached?

Chapter 197 A New Milestone and Skill of Killing Intent

【parasitic】

The people of this world depend on each other for survival, living together between heaven and earth, endlessly suffering retribution for their sins, and passing on their karmic ties in turn. Such is the nature of this world.

Killing Intent reaches 60 points, marking a new milestone.

Looking at the hint in his mind, Ying Sheng guessed that this thing was probably not determined by his own style of doing things.

His initial killing intent reached 10 points, relying solely on whoever he felt a connection with, without considering cause and effect.

The milestone achieved is [Roadblock].

It means: If you encounter evil spirits while traveling, there is no reason for great misfortune.

Now, after he has played several tricks and schemes to kill with borrowed knives, this milestone has become the direction he is heading.

That's quite humane, thumbs up.

This milestone did not unlock any new skills, but it added an additional trait to the original skill [Berserk].

[Enlightenment]

[All beings are trapped in suffering; may your single thought liberate them from this sea of ​​misery.]

The meaning is self-evident: Ying Sheng can now use the [Berserk] skill on others.

huh?

What's the point?

Ying Sheng was quite puzzled. Wasn't [Berserk] a buff skill? Moreover, its buffs had diminishing marginal returns. Even if he wanted to use it to exhaust someone to death or cause someone to explode from their physical limits, it probably wouldn't work.

Is this "Enlightenment" skill only for teammates?

Why don't we let Xiaolan try it?

Ying Sheng's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this skill required touching someone to activate. Xiao Lan met the conditions, but of course he didn't use it immediately.

The milestone description clearly states, "[Hellish retribution, passed on from one another]", which doesn't seem like a pure buff.

correct.

The Buddha said that sentient beings do not only refer to humans. They include those born from eggs, wombs, moisture, and transformation; those with form and those without form; those with thought and those without thought. The scope is very broad. If we look at it from the perspective of the formless realm, all beings in this desire realm may well be regarded as sentient beings.

As soon as this thought arose, Ying Sheng immediately realized that the scope of [Enlightenment] had suddenly expanded. His clothes, guns, the seat he was sitting on, even the car itself, and even the air he breathed between his nostrils—everything was possible!

OK OK.

Are you trying to manipulate him with your mental illusions?

Ying Sheng chuckled inwardly. In the blink of an eye, he used [Berserk Transformation] on the car, consuming a bit of killing intent. Almost simultaneously, Ying Sheng's head was suddenly thrown back and pressed tightly against Xiao Lan's lower abdomen.

Bang——! ! !

Another violent jolt sent Ying Sheng staggering forward, nearly tumbling off his seat. Luckily, Xiao Lan, who was also leaning forward, instinctively grabbed him.

creak—hiss—

The car broke down, and white smoke billowed from the hood.

The driver apologized repeatedly, saying that he had lost control of the accelerator and crashed into the car in front of him. He couldn't go any further and asked Ying Sheng and the other person to find another car.

The driver in front got out of his car, looked over, scratched his head, and asked, "What do you mean by flooring the gas pedal during rush hour?"

"I am the one who should apologize, sir. I have just had bad luck today, and I have infected you with it."

Ying Sheng took out ten Fukuzawa Yukichi bills from his wallet and handed them to the person in front of him, smiling slightly. "This is fate, it's what you deserve."

The driver hesitated for two seconds, about to shake his head in refusal, when Ying Sheng had already tossed the money onto the armrest, pushed open the door and got out of the car, saying with interest:

"Xiao Lan, what do you think it would be like if the air went crazy?"

"Air? Madness?"

Xiaolan was quite puzzled by Yingsheng's wild idea. After thinking for a moment, she said, "The higher the temperature, the more violent the molecular motion. Conversely, if the air goes crazy, it will cause the temperature to rise."

"I think it's about the same."

Ying Sheng raised his hand, breathed on his palm, moved his hand away, and breathed on it again.

So-so, but quite fun.

Efficiency control remains the same as before; it can either deplete 10 points of killing intent in an instant or slowly deplete 1 point of killing intent, providing a slight but lasting benefit.

Very good, just what he wanted.

"Shuiyue-kun, is the air you're talking about going crazy?" Xiaolan looked at her with considerable curiosity.

"To be honest, I was checking if I had bad breath," Ying Sheng said with a smile.

"what--"

Xiaolan turned away with obvious disgust, then gently breathed on her hand to make sure there was nothing there before letting out a sigh of relief and looking around.

"How far is the Samadhi House? Do we have to walk there?"

"Wow, that's really hurting my feelings."

"Because Mizuki-kun doesn't have any, we've been in close contact so many times already." Ran rolled her eyes, leaned closer to Hotaru's face, and was about to make him open his mouth when she looked up in confusion, "Why is your breath so hot?"

Ying Sheng sighed softly, "Because of the lap pillow I had before, I feel that I have no regrets in life."
