I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Although he felt he didn't need to say it, he thought it might be better to say it anyway.

Hearing Byakuya's words, Ai Haibara's attitude softened again.

Perhaps I really am a bit like a hedgehog.

There's no need to keep protecting yourself like this.

Sadako, on the other hand, was furious at the sight of this scene.

I never imagined that Thor would have reached this point of involution.

She has already found someone for Bai Ye, but she hasn't made much progress on her own end.

Will Bai Ye eventually think that she doesn't want to help him?

Or perhaps Bai Ye thinks he's incompetent, unable to even handle something as simple as recruiting female ghosts.

No!

She'll definitely call all those ghost sisters over next time!

I absolutely cannot fall behind Thor.

Thinking of this, Sadako subconsciously glanced at Thor, but when her eyes met Thor's provocative gaze, she was immediately met with his.

good good!

Since they've already come knocking on our door, we certainly won't admit defeat.

Although he fell behind this time, it was enough to put Sadako on her guard.

"Um...we have a request here, would you like to accept it?"

Seeing Zi raise his hand, he broke the slightly tense atmosphere.

She didn't want to talk at first, but the situation was already quite obvious.

This is not something a mortal like myself can say.

But it would be awkward if I didn't say something at this moment.

She wanted to report the matter as soon as possible and then leave work.

I can't stay here any longer.

I'll come back tonight.

"Finally, someone came looking for me?!"

Bai Ye was a little excited; this was the firm's first case.

He has to complete this task well.

"Yes, it's a mission about protecting gems, not anything supernatural."

After saying that, Jianzi also observed Baiye.

The main reason was to see Bai Ye's reaction.

Because this was not originally part of their mission.

Jianzi knew that Baiye's favorite things were the supernatural and all sorts of strange and unusual missions.

"How did this mission come to us?"

Bai Ye's expression was strange.

She has another identity behind the scenes.

Looking for a phantom thief to help protect a gem?

The person who came up with this idea is truly a genius.

"Actually, it's probably because they found out about the case you solved before, boss. It was a valuable gem that belonged to a collector and was being eyed by Cat's Eye and Phantom Thief Kid, so they want to hire you."

Of course, the other party also mentioned that they wanted to invite the famous detective Shinichi Kudo.

However, since they couldn't contact the other party, they asked Bai Ye for help.

Zi Ke dared not say this to Bai Ye.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Shinichi Kudo has been in the industry for a long time and has a great reputation, so he would definitely be the first choice if they were to invite him.

Like Bai Ye, if it weren't for the last case, Jian Zi wouldn't have known that Bai Ye could actually solve cases.

"Shouldn't this be handed over to the police?"

As Bai Ye spoke, a dark line flashed in his eyes.

He never expected this matter to come to him.

This isn't a police matter, is it?

"I don't know. It seems like they don't really trust the police. You know how the Phantom Thieves of Hearts tricked them back then, right?"

It's not just the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Cat's Eye, Lupin III, Phantom Thief Kid.

These phantom thieves all seemed to disregard each other.

Anyway, the other party's idea was that instead of finding the police to protect them, they might as well find a detective.

At least the detective seems more reliable than these people, right?

"To be honest, I do know."

How could I not know?

They were the ones who played a trick on themselves.

But should I go and protect the gem myself?

Bai Ye rubbed his chin, pondering whether to accept this task, which seemed to pose no difficulty to him.

"Just reply to the other person and say I answered!"

Without much thought, Bai Ye ultimately chose to accept the task.

The main reason is that this was their firm's first assignment.

If you refuse the first request, it will make you seem somewhat unprofessional.

"Boss, do you know how to catch a phantom thief?"

Jianzi knew that questioning Baiye was not a good idea.

But what's this called again?

Industry specializing in surgery.

If Bai Ye were to catch ghosts or do anything else, she wouldn't suspect anything.

However, Zi couldn't understand the methods these thieves used each time they stole.

"They perform magic tricks, but I perform sorcery, don't you think?"

Bai Ye looked at Jian Zi with a smile.

It seems that Jianzi doesn't quite understand the difference between magic and sorcery.

Let's not even mention that he himself is a phantom thief.

If you say you're not one, then what is magic compared to magic?

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, and it's perfectly fine to keep the gem if you want to.

"This"

That actually makes a lot of sense!

Jianzi suddenly realized that she had worried too much.

How can magic compare to magic?

"So I'll agree?"

"can."

After receiving Bai Ye's reply, Jian Zi immediately sent an invitation to Bai Ye in return.

The other party sent the time and location immediately.

Is this a showdown with Phantom Thief Kid and Cat's Eye?

Lupin III didn't come?

That makes sense, as an international master thief, Lupin III rarely stole something as simple as just a single gem.

This time, Bai Ye also doesn't plan to use magic first.

Let's see what methods these phantom thieves will use to steal this gem.

He still prefers to try some conventional methods.

"Lord Byakuya, may I go?!"

Thor raised her hand, ready to go and help.

"No, you can just wait for me to come back at home."

Tohru is going, and Sadako will probably go later too.

Bai Ye couldn't imagine whether a big girl with horns on her head and a tail suddenly appearing in front of others would cause panic.

This could also be explained as COSPlay.

But Bai Ye really couldn't explain the female ghost that crawled out of the television.

Therefore, Bai Ye will not allow these two people to go.

Especially with so many phantom thieves around, there will definitely be a lot of media attention.

Bai Ye naturally didn't want to become the target of public criticism.

"All right."

Thor pouted; he was rejected just like before.
