Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

"found it!"

Zhenzhong finally took out the talisman.

He raised it high and shouted, "Lord Chichu, save me!"

As he spoke, the talisman instantly flew up and stuck to the longsword in the armored man's hand with a snap.

The longsword shuddered violently, suddenly slipped from the armored man's hand, and flew out of the hall.

The heavy longsword, with a blade a meter long, flew away just like that.

Manaka was stunned, and Ochiai was equally stunned.

The two stared at each other, watching the longsword's departing figure.

Manaka, however, maintained the posture of raising his right hand.

However, the talisman in his hand had disappeared.

"Why don't you leave quickly?"

A voice suddenly rang in Director Ochiai's ear.

He understood instantly.

This project is no longer feasible.

He could only turn and run away.

Chapter 28: Acquired magical artifact materials, earned an art gallery

In the hall, Chi Chufeng and Xiao Lan were admiring the paintings together.

He used his mind to take the longsword, flew it out of the deliberately opened window, and placed it under the chassis of his sports car.

This longsword is a bit special; it cannot be put into the soul space and can only be retrieved when leaving.

"This painting, 'Leisurely Sky,' is by Picasso. Although it's not very famous, I really love his warm brushstrokes and the sense of transparency it conveys..."

Chi Chufeng introduced the famous painting in front of them to Xiao Lan.

Wow, Akatsuchi-san, you know so much!

Xiaolan's eyes were full of admiration.

Conan, who was listening nearby, was completely speechless.

Although I knew this guy was showing off, it did sound impressive, even though I didn't really understand it.

The problem is that this famous detective doesn't understand art, so he can't even get a word in edgewise.

"Lord Chichu, Lord Chichu!"

Boss Zhenzhong staggered out.

"What you said really came true. There really is a curse. I almost died just now, thanks to your talisman."

Zhenzhong stammered as he recounted what had happened.

"Wow, is there really a curse?"

"What a terrifying curse! It can make the armor move on its own and kill people."

"Luckily, there was an Onmyoji present, otherwise Boss Manaka would have been finished."

"This Onmyoji is amazing! He can actually break the curse."

"Did you hear what he said? A sword more than a meter long disappeared in the blink of an eye."

The crowd around them gasped in amazement.

Xiao Lan's eyes lit up and her heart fluttered.

Hearing about this is so exciting!

"That can't be right." Conan looked at Akatsuki with a suspicious gaze.

"If the talisman really worked, how could Boss Zhenzhong have gotten injured?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

"Yes, how could you be injured?"

"Is this Onmyoji's magic power limited, unable to deal with such a powerful curse?"

"After all, he's young, so his magical power is definitely insufficient."

Even Zhen Zhong heard this and frowned slightly.

Chi Chufeng didn't argue, but just smiled coldly.

He took the check out of his pocket.

"It seems that Boss Zhenzhong doesn't think a life is worth this price."

"In that case, please take it back."

"Consider that life-saving talisman a gift from me."

Looking at the check in Chi Chufeng's hand, Zhenzhong suddenly realized something.

He quickly bowed and apologized repeatedly.

"No, no, no, it's all my fault. Lord Chichu said back then that how much money he would give me would depend on how much my life was worth."

"It was my greed that led me to give too little. I deserve to take this sword."

"I'm willing to pay the remaining cost for the talisman..."

“I really don’t have much cash on hand. This art museum is worth 100 million yuan. Consider it payment for saving my life.”

"Please, Lord Chichu, accept this."

Chi Chufeng was overjoyed upon hearing this.

I originally just wanted to collect some magical artifact materials, but I ended up making an art museum.

This is a huge windfall.

Those around him, upon hearing Masaka's explanation, suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is. A life should indeed be worth a lot of money."

"If it could save my life, a hundred million... I really can't afford it."

"But that's a life! If I had a hundred million, I'd be willing to buy it."

"Ten million, from death to injury, doesn't seem so unacceptable."

Hearing the murmurs around him, Conan couldn't help but frown.

He looked at Chi Chufeng, his heart filled with suspicion.

Could this guy have staged this whole thing just to become famous?

However, looking at the bleeding wounds on Manaka's back, it doesn't seem like it.

Who would bother to cooperate with him in such a charade, getting injured and paying money, and in the end even losing the art museum?

Director Ochiai stood at a distance, watching everything that was happening.

A sense of gloom settled in my heart.

Is this another change of boss?

They replaced him with a strong young man, who was also an Onmyoji with powerful magic.

It seems there's no hope for the future of the art museum.

The transaction was completed on the same day, and Chi Chufeng received the art museum without paying a single penny.

Feeling deeply guilty, he took out another crumpled piece of yellow paper, drew three lines on it, and handed it to Zhenzhong.

"I'm not taking the art museum for free; this is for you..."

"Understood, I understand."

The corners of Zhenzhong's mouth were practically stretched to his ears.

"I have three lives! I can die three times!"

He waved the yellow paper, almost as if he were about to dance.

Everyone around him looked at him with envy.

Damn it, it seems like I need to, that's three lives!

However, the talismans of Onmyoji can be absolutely precise down to the individual.

If they try to steal it, they might incur the curse of the Onmyoji.

What if it attracts the shikigami's revenge...

too horrible!

Those with malicious intentions immediately calmed down.
