Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

So, this young man who liked Dunzi transformed himself into a bandaged monster, becoming a messenger of revenge, and wielded his knife against the woman who had hurt Dunzi.

In Genda's view, if he were only seeking revenge, it would be understandable. However, on the path of revenge, he gradually lost himself.

From simply helping Atsuko get revenge, to starting to indiscriminately kill innocent people, he even murdered the innocent Ran just because his identity might be exposed, contributing some of the most terrifying scenes in the Conan series.

However, none of these things have happened yet. In the original timeline, it was Suzuki Ayako who organized a gathering of the university film club members, which reorganized them and gave Takahashi Ryoichi the opportunity to kill.

The time for these people to gather hasn't arrived yet, so right now, the entire villa is just occupied by these people.

"This villa in the mountains is quite nice. The environment is quiet and the air is fresh. It's definitely a great choice for a vacation. You can definitely hear the cheerful birdsong when you wake up in the morning. It's just that the communication with the outside world is a bit poor."

"Moreover, the only passage is this suspension bridge. If the suspension bridge breaks, we will lose contact with the outside world. If we live here in winter and someone cuts down the wooden bridge, it will be the perfect location for a blizzard-like mountain lodge," Sera Masumi said excitedly.

It was a self-fulfilling prophecy!

Upon hearing her words, Genda Kawa scratched his head. The world of Detective Conan is practically full of prophets.

But that's normal. The world of Detective Conan is a world of detectives. The detectives in this world are all quite skilled. How can someone be called a famous detective if they haven't seen many corpses or witnessed many deaths?

He suddenly had a wicked idea: what would happen if he gathered together Conan, Kogoro Mouri, Heiji Hattori, as well as Sera Masumi and Hakuba Saguru—all the more famous and capable detectives?

No, no, I can't even imagine it.

If these people were to gather together, not only in Beika Town, but also in nearby Beika Town, Toriya Town, Okuho Town, and even the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Area, the alarms would be deafening.

Then Inspector Megure will probably be able to lose weight successfully, but the day he succeeds will be the day his wife, Midori Megure, becomes a widow. That's too cruel.

Hearing Sera's words, Sonoko hurriedly said, "Oh dear, we came here on a happy outing, why are you saying these things? It's scary. Don't worry, it's very safe here. There are no other buildings or residents for miles around, and there are no dangerous wild animals in the mountains. It's peaceful and quiet everywhere."

"Living here, undisturbed, and able to enjoy peaceful and quiet moments—isn't that the meaning of our travels?"

Sonoko's words made everyone laugh.

This young lady from the Suzuki family, despite her prestigious background, never had the slightest air of superiority and was always considerate of others. Within a few days, Sera Masumi genuinely accepted this friend.

The group chatted and laughed as they entered the villa, but the villa's condition was not quite what they had expected.

Although everything was arranged neatly, it was covered in a thick layer of dust, and Yuanzi could only give an awkward smile.

"I thought my older sister had already sent someone to clean it up, honestly."

As I was talking, I couldn't help but want to make a call, but I didn't expect there was no signal here, so I could only dial using a landline.

"Sis, what are you doing? Didn't you say you were going to use this villa to entertain your friends? Why hasn't it been cleaned at all? Huh? There are still two weeks until your party, so you're not in a hurry to do anything? You've really gotten me into trouble now!"

She hung up the phone sullenly, her little mouth pouting involuntarily.

Genda River smiled and comforted her, "Alright, Sonoko, it's just that it wasn't cleaned. Cleaning it together might be more fun, like camping. Otherwise, we could just stay at a hotel."

She picked up the cleaning tools and began assigning tasks. Even Conan was assigned a task, and he was paired with Sera, while Ran was paired with Conan. They were to check the roof and repair some dangerous areas.

This left Conan feeling frustrated again. He had a feeling that Genda was intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to Ran, but he had no proof.

And in fact, his arrangement was correct.

There is indeed some damage to the roof of the villa, and some of the railings on the second floor also need proper repair. In addition, the villa's chimney is also damaged and needs to be replaced with an elbow; otherwise, there will be a safety hazard when cooking or boiling water.

It is indeed not easy for the average person to complete, and it even carries considerable danger.

Even though Xiaolan is quite skilled, she is still a high school student. Although she knows karate, no matter how well she practices karate, it won't give her any advantage in repairs.

However, Genda River is different. He can now be called a martial arts master, especially in terms of his control over his body, which has reached an extremely profound level.

Most importantly, in Zhizi's latest deduction yesterday, he learned a new skill - the Energy Dissipation Garden!

Force neutralization is an extremely advanced technique in Baki, capable of easily deflecting enemy attacks and dissolving the opponent's impact into nothingness.

It represents the pinnacle of Baki, and like Oni-saka, it is a high-level technique.

After learning how to dissipate force, Genda River's control over power has reached a new level.

The most ingenious aspect of force dissipation is not in dispelling attacks, but in neutralizing the force itself!

This can be understood as follows: when a person walks, the soles of their feet touch the ground, and the ground supports the body, all of which generate force. After mastering the art of force elimination, one can even freely control the magnitude of this relative force.

It can be as grounded as Zhao Jian's horse stance in Huo Yuanjia, or it can be as light as a feather, making the body feel light and airy, like a ribbon dancing in the wind.

Even the strongest punch cannot break the ribbon unless the punch has special effects.

So now he's like someone who's mastered light-body skills; he only needs a little bit of leverage to move freely on buildings.

Therefore, repairing the roof from the highest point of the roof is just a piece of cake.

Chapter 198

So everyone saw Genda River leaping across the rooftops with effortless grace, as if weightless. Even when his feet touched the edge of the damaged section, it had no effect whatsoever, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Only Sonoko remained calm: "Don't open your mouths so wide! Akawa is the kind of person who can create miracles, after all... cough cough."

Even the terrifying monsters in the castle could be killed. Why are you so surprised that it's just running around on the roof?

Ran realized that Sonoko was right.

However, he still laughed and said, "This is indeed not difficult for Genda, but seeing an ability like the light-footed kung fu in an idol drama is still quite surprising. It's like if a gomera suddenly ran out of the forest, even if it's small, it would still startle you, right?"

"What Gomera? With this guy's strength, even if he really had Gomera, he'd probably be dead for good."

Just as everyone was laughing and chatting, little did they know that deep in the dense forest not far away, a pair of emotionless eyes were watching everything unfold before them.

"Hehehe, what a heartwarming and joyful scene. But Dunzi is dead, so why can you all enjoy such a happy 623 time? This is not fair. I will make those who hurt Dunzi also taste the pain and death."

The owner of the eyes coldly observed everything, pressing his palm against his face, which was covered in bandages. His fingers rubbed against the bandages, feeling their rough texture.

Through the gaps in the bandages, he could see what Dunzi looked like when he was rescued after his suicide attempt, his whole body wrapped in bandages.

No matter how many bandages were wrapped around the body, blood still flowed out, completely staining the originally white bandages blood red!

"Just you wait, Chikako Ikeda, I'll make you pay!"

With that, he put on the hood of his black robe, picked up the axe at his feet, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

At this point, his identity was already obvious: he was the Bandaged Man.

After learning the location of the gathering organized by Ayako Suzuki, he made up his mind that he could not wait any longer and had to completely eliminate that woman who plagiarized Atsuko's work.

However, for ordinary people, killing is not a simple matter.

Anyone who wants to kill will face many problems.

The first thing is how to kill. This is killing a person, not killing a chicken. No human being can just stand around waiting to be killed. So, to kill someone, you need a meticulous plan.

This includes determining the other party's sphere of influence, how to lure them out, and especially for the citizens of Da Mi Hua, creating an alibi is a habit ingrained in their DNA.

From the very old to the very young, everyone has the legal awareness to create an alibi.

It's clear that Japan does a good job in promoting legal awareness, with Mihana City being a prime example. This suggests that there must be quite a few lawbreakers like Zhang San in the area. Without the example set by many outlaws, Mihana City wouldn't stand out so much.

So the bandaged monster deliberately dressed up like this, firstly to conceal his identity, and secondly to increase the atmosphere of terror.

This is true of many cases; a terrifying atmosphere can make many simple problems extremely complicated.

Just like when Di Renjie encountered the headless general, if it weren't for the connection with ghosts and gods, Di Renjie would have discovered the headless general's tricks long ago. Fat Spirit's strength is not to be underestimated.

"I've roughly figured out the strategy. The first step is to disguise my body shape and create a preconceived illusion, just like the montage technique in movies."

As a movie enthusiast, I am naturally familiar with the techniques used in some movies, and these techniques will naturally be used in my crimes.

It has to be said that this move was actually quite clever. In the original timeline, if Ran hadn't accidentally barged into the room and seen him changing clothes, making him worry about his true size being seen, it wouldn't have been so easy for Conan to find his weakness.

However, in order to eliminate any loopholes, the repeated attacks on Ran led Conan to figure out the key point and identify the real culprit.

"Then we had to determine the method of murder."

That being said, in reality, he had rehearsed the scene countless times in his mind over the past few years, and he had fantasized countless times about killing Chikako Ikeda.

Without these hundreds and thousands of rehearsals, an ordinary chubby guy wouldn't have the courage to sever a person's head and dismember a corpse.

People gradually become abnormal after experiencing frustration and anger.

It's like some people who are generally considered honest suddenly start killing indiscriminately, slaughtering half a village. The reason for this is not because their honesty is fake, but because their patience has reached its limit.

Justice that cannot be obtained through the law must be obtained with the sword. When the law is absent when needed, the void will be filled by illegal means, rather than remaining empty forever.

After seeing that everyone had packed their things and entered the villa, he quietly crept up to the vicinity of the villa and circled around it.

Then he stretched out his hands and gestured, trying to see if he could realize his idea.

"Hehe, that woman has actually been feeling uneasy ever since she plagiarized Dunzi's work. Although she suppressed all those complaint letters I wrote before using various methods, seeing her so pathetic made me feel really satisfied."

"But the seed of fear has already been planted in her heart. When the time comes, all we need to do is secretly give her a message, letting her know that someone else knows about this, and she will definitely show up obediently."

"After killing her, I'll use a mechanism to place the severed head together with the black cloak, making it appear as if the bandaged monster kidnapped the woman. Then everyone will come out and start searching in the woods. At that point, I can retrieve the head and use the illusion of body shape to hide it on my stomach."

Thinking of this, his fat face twisted into a ferocious grimace.

This was truly a genius's method; he never imagined that he would have such talent in the means of committing crimes!

The plan was flawless. Everyone would believe that the bandaged man had kidnapped the woman and then dismembered her in the woods!

He himself had absolutely no connection to this murder case.

When the police arrive, they will only start searching for that vicious and terrifying bandaged monster, searching for someone who doesn't even exist.

In this way, he can both eliminate his enemies and escape legal punishment, killing two birds with one stone.

He became increasingly excited as he thought about it, and began to carefully study how to design the mechanism, becoming completely absorbed in the task.
