The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

After all, compared to detectives, the seemingly ethereal profession of "Onmyoji" makes it easier to come into contact with people in high society.

Ordinary people don't have the energy or the need to exorcise any "demons" or "monsters"!

Chapter 664 Beauty is a disaster

As if sensing Akemi Miyano's gaze, Yuu Aragaki, standing in the crowd, suddenly turned around and smiled slightly at Akemi Miyano, who was looking directly at him.

But before Miyano Akemi could say anything, he turned back and said something to the people gathered around him.

However, this time, Miyano Akemi noticed that the faces of those surrounding Aragaki Yu quickly turned ugly after hearing his words.

The expressions on the faces of the young ladies and wives on the periphery stiffened slightly, and then they all turned to look at the rich kids who were still laughing at the Junior Detective Club.

Their gazes kept roaming over the children, as if they were searching for some target.

After looking around, some of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, while the gazes of other young ladies and wives, which were fixed on a particular child, instantly turned hostile.

However, these rich second and third generation individuals were completely unaware of what was happening and continued to mock and ridicule others, displaying their sense of superiority.

Until suddenly, a chill ran down their spines.

When they turned around in confusion, their faces turned deathly pale.

"mom!?"

"……elder sister?"

"Um...Grandma?"

Before they could explain anything, their ears were grabbed one by one by their elders.

Several children were about to rebel, but just as they glanced around, they noticed their fathers or grandfathers glaring at them with stern eyes.

In that instant, under the authority of their elders, the once proud second and third-generation rich kids instantly became as weak as shrimps, almost collapsing on the spot.

You should know that, normally, your father (or grandfather) will only look at you like that when you're about to get a beating for something.

……

Soon, amidst the apologies from these rich kids to the Junior Detective Club members, Aragaki Yuu returned to Miyano Akemi's side with some people looking on with reluctance.

"Little brother Aragaki, what did you just say to those people?"

Ran and Kogoro Mouri probably thought that the ladies were disciplining the children because of strict family rules.

But Akemi Miyano was certain that all of this was related to what Yuu Aragaki had just done.

In response, Yuu Aragaki didn't hide anything. Instead, he smiled and pointed at Conan, who was receiving an apology, and explained, "I was just giving those children's parents a friendly reminder. If they were targeted by some guy cursed by the Grim Reaper, they might not have a good ending."

Miyano Akemi: "..."

Hearing what Aragaki Yu said, she also

Slightly startled, he subconsciously looked in the direction Aragaki Yu was pointing at Conan, the child.

It seems like what they said makes sense...

No wonder the people who were surrounding Aragaki Yu reacted so strongly.

After all, many of them were employers who had recently commissioned Aragaki Yu.

In addition, many of them had heard of Kogoro Mouri, who stood with the Junior Detective League.

Regarding these claims of "ghosts and gods," they also hold the attitude of "better to believe in their existence than to believe in their non-existence."

As for those ladies and wives who were pulling those kids to apologize to the Junior Detective League, but whose eyes were constantly glancing at Aragaki Yu, their minds were probably entirely on Aragaki Yu.

Bah~

Beauty is really a disaster!

Thinking of this, Miyano Akemi, who was secretly anxious about her sister whom she hadn't heard from in a long time, unconsciously moved her position to block the burning gazes of the ladies and young women with her body.

At the same time, Conan, who suddenly felt a chill, subconsciously looked around.

This scene was also witnessed by Ai Haibara, who asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly being so suspicious?"

"No, nothing..." Conan shook his head, not noticing anything unusual around him, and looked at the children who had finally escaped the clutches of their elders and were now playing soccer in a corner of the banquet hall. "Perhaps the thought that those children will inherit their parents' careers and become future leaders of Japan makes the future seem truly hopeless!"

"I feel the same way." Ai Haibara shrugged helplessly at this.

Just then, Ai Haibara, who had just turned her gaze away from those kids, suddenly felt someone pat her on the shoulder from behind.

Startled, Ai Haibara turned around in a panic, only to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing Yuu Aragaki standing behind her.

What are you doing? You scared me!

However, there was still some resentment in Ai Haibara's tone.

People can scare each other to death!

Ai Haibara didn't want to die of fright in this strange place before she even died from the organization's pursuit.

"I'm so sorry, Ai!" Seeing that Ai Haibara's face was indeed a little pale, Yuu Aragaki smiled apologetically, "But why haven't I seen Professor Agasa lately?"

Perhaps because she saw her older sister approaching, or perhaps because she heard Aragaki Yu mention Professor Agasa, Haibara Ai suppressed her displeasure. After giving Aragaki Yu a disapproving look, she prepared to explain, "Professor Agasa has recently been..."

Unexpectedly, before she could finish speaking, a commotion near the stage drew everyone's attention.

"Distinguished guests, please take note of the stage."

The next second, a person who surprised everyone slowly walked out of the crowd onto the stage and came into the sight of everyone present.

"Now, Mr. Yusaku Kudo, who was in charge of providing the stage design for the Cocoon game, has returned from the United States!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Professor Agasa appeared out of nowhere and came to the side of Yuu Aragaki and the others, saying, "You're finally back!"

"I was just wondering where you've been all month, turns out you've been helping my dad... Uncle Kudo with his work!"

Conan, who had been excitedly watching his father take the stage, immediately moved closer to Professor Agasa.

Perhaps because he was too excited, he almost let it slip.

Fortunately, at that moment, Ran and the others were focused on Yusaku Kudo on the stage, so they didn't notice the problem Conan was talking about.

"Yes, I went to help him complete the final stage of the procedure." Professor Agasa explained to Conan with a smile, then turned to greet Yuu Aragaki, Ran, and the others.

During the month he was away from Japan, Ai was very fortunate to have been taken care of by them.

Chapter 665 The Telepathic Connection Between Father and Son

"And, Yukiko... where is her aunt?"

Before asking Professor Agasa, Conan cautiously looked around the hall to make sure his mother wasn't there.

"She said she hadn't been back to Japan in a long time, so she went to attend a class reunion."

The next second, Professor Agasa seemed to suddenly remember something, reached into his pocket, took out an egg-shaped badge and handed it to Conan, "Here, this is a gift for you."

"Ok?"

Conan took the badge from Professor Agasa with some surprise, and quickly recognized it as the badge for the "Cocoon" game experience.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Conan looked at the children standing by the dining table. "Although I'm happy, I can't just leave them behind and go play by myself."

Conan was no exception to Professor Agasa's ability to obtain the trial badge.

After all, it's quite normal for her father, as the designer of the "Cocoon" game content, to be able to obtain a game qualification from the organizer.

Seeing that Conan seemed reluctant to accept the gift, Professor Agasa, who assumed Conan wasn't interested in the game, quietly reminded him, "I think you'll be hooked on it. This game is set in London at the end of the 19th century, a hundred years ago."

"London a hundred years ago!?"

Upon hearing Professor Agasa's words, Conan was taken aback for a moment, but then immediately burst into laughter, "Dad hasn't changed at all; he still loves that era so much!"

At this point, he had realized exactly what kind of game his father had designed.

……

Just then, the lights in the banquet hall were suddenly turned off by the organizers, and the entire banquet hall suddenly became pitch black.

However, the surrounding guests did not show any signs of panic.

Because they also knew that the main event of the banquet was about to begin at this time.

As expected, after Yusaku Kudo finished his speech, the host announced that the press conference would soon move on to the next segment.

The next second, a beam of light suddenly appeared on the stage.

"Now, please enjoy this groundbreaking game console—'Cocoon'!"

As the host introduced it, an egg-shaped game pod slowly rose from beneath the split floor under the beam of light, appearing in everyone's sight.

"Once players enter the capsule game pod, the capsule will control all five senses. Whether it's touch, pain, or smell, all the sensations are incredibly realistic. Players will be immersed in this world."

During the host's introduction, the model standing next to the "cocoon" demonstrated how to operate the "cocoon" to the audience.

"It works by using an electrical system to stimulate the central nervous system, which is completely harmless to the human body."

As the host introduced him, Aragaki Yu's lips twitched involuntarily.

If he hadn't seen what happened next, he would have almost believed the host's confident claim that it was "completely harmless."

Moreover, although this "cocoon" is a product of high technology, it must be said that, in terms of appearance, this gaming pod is indeed quite ugly.
