Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Seeing this, Chen Jinnan chuckled and reached out to pat Suzuki Seimei's head, saying, "Little brother, have you mistaken me for someone else?"

???

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Seimei looked up at Chen Jinnan, feigning shock, and said, "You...you're not Second Uncle!"

Looking at the adorable little guy who was confused about the lake, Chen Jinnan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little guy, next time you call someone, you'd better make sure you see what they look like first!"

Because of the limited perspective, most children recognize people by their clothes and shoes first, and then by their faces. Therefore, Chen Jinnan did not suspect Suzuki Harumi, but simply regarded him as an ordinary child who had mistaken someone else for someone else.

"Xiaoming, are you alright?"

Mu Jianping rushed over and pulled Suzuki Seimei to her side, looking at Chen Jinnan and his group with some wariness.

Suzuki Seimei shook his head and said, "Sister Mu, I'm fine. I think I mistook you for someone else. I thought my second uncle had come to the capital too!"

Chapter 351 The Extraordinary Courage of the Mu Family

"Since you've mistaken me for someone else, let's go!"

Although Mu Jianping did not recognize Chen Jinnan and his group, she could sense that these people were not to be trifled with, so she quickly left with Suzuki Seimei.

Watching Mu Jianping and the others leave, the white-bearded old man beside Chen Jinnan said, "Chief, that young lady just now seems to be the young princess of the Mu family."

The Heaven and Earth Society had its own intelligence network in the capital. The people from the Mu family had only been in the capital for a short time when the Heaven and Earth Society already knew about it.

However, the Heaven and Earth Society and the Mu Prince's Mansion served different masters. Although both were anti-Qing forces, their relationship was not close.

"The Prince Mu's Mansion..."

Chen Jinnan's expression changed slightly, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Don't worry about the people from the Mu Prince's Mansion for now. What you need to do next is find a way to contact that invincible gun god."

This man is exceptionally skilled and adept at assassination. If we could gain his assistance, perhaps we could join forces to kill the treacherous emperor, and then great things would be within our grasp.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison.

Although the number of guards in Aobai's mansion was far less than that of the imperial guards in the palace, they were still the elite of the elite.

Since Aizen was able to infiltrate Ao Bai's mansion and kill him in one fell swoop, with the help of the experts from the Heaven and Earth Society, he might actually be able to infiltrate the palace and kill Kang Mazi.

With Ao Bai suddenly killed, his cronies and political enemies will surely plunge the court into turmoil as they vie for power and profit.

If Kang Mazi were killed at this time, the entire court would be plunged into a state of leaderlessness.

When that time comes, ambitious and insightful heroes will surely be moved by the news and rise up in rebellion, and the overthrow of Manchu rule will be just around the corner.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to find Aizen as soon as possible, otherwise Chen Jinnan will have no choice but to risk entering the palace to assassinate the emperor himself.

On the other side, Suzuki Seimei followed Mu Jianping to a street next door, where he then turned his attention to the advanced-level "Blood Coagulation Divine Claw" skill book.

Skill Name: Blood Coagulation Divine Claw

Type: Active Skill

Level: Mastery

Effect: It can transform internal energy into cold, yin energy. The effects will take two hours to manifest, and within three days, the blood in the body will slowly congeal, eventually turning into a stagnant pool of liquid, which is incurable.

Consumption: Internal Force

Cooldown time: None

Note: An essential skill for those who plot against others!

"use!"

After reviewing the skill attributes of "Blood Coagulation Divine Claw", Suzuki Seimei silently recited "use" in his mind.

As the advanced-level "Blood Coagulation Divine Claw" skill book merged into his body, memories of the "Blood Coagulation Divine Claw" skill also surfaced in Suzuki Seimei's mind.

These skill memories not only contain the cultivation and usage methods of the "Blood Coagulation Divine Claw", but also two methods to break the "Blood Coagulation Divine Claw".

The first solution is to ask a master with profound internal energy to dissolve it with pure Yang internal energy.

The cold internal force unleashed by the Blood Coagulation Divine Claw is actually somewhat similar to a weakened version of the Profound Netherworld Divine Palm. Therefore, those who cultivate pure Yang internal force can directly dissolve it with their internal force.

However, in this day and age, finding a master of internal energy who has cultivated pure Yang energy is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Compared to the first method of cracking the code, the second method is obviously much simpler.

Those afflicted with the "Blood-Coagulating Divine Claw" only need to dig a hole in the mud, bury their entire body in it, leaving only their mouth and nose exposed to breathe, and bury themselves for four hours each day for seven consecutive days to dispel the cold and yin energy within their bodies.

correct!

Another point to note is that those whose internal strength is not deep enough must never use their internal strength to dissolve the cold power of the Blood Coagulation Divine Claw, otherwise it will only accelerate the coagulation of blood in their body.

To be honest, given Chen Jinnan's reputation in the martial arts world, the combination of a vicious martial art like the "Blood-Coagulating Divine Claw" with him is really incongruous.

However, upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense. The Heaven and Earth Society is not some prestigious sect, but rather one of the largest anti-Qing forces in the world.

If Chen Jinnan were truly a kind soul, the Heaven and Earth Society would never have developed to its current state.

Just like in the world of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", wasn't the Ming Cult, the largest anti-Yuan force, also called the Demonic Cult?

……

A dark and windy night, the perfect time for murder and arson.

Led by Wu Lishen, Fang Yi and the others changed into night clothes, took weapons engraved with the insignia of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion, and headed towards the palace.

Aizen, also dressed in a black night-clothes, leisurely trailed behind Fang Yi and the others, secretly thinking to himself, "What a bunch of reckless fools!"

Fang Yi and her companions dared to risk their lives to infiltrate the palace and carry out an assassination, which can be described as courageous, but they were a bit too naive.

Did they really think that by carrying weapons bearing the insignia of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion and wearing underwear embroidered with the words "Prince of Pingxi's Mansion," they could frame Wu Sangui for the assassination?

Unless Wu Sangui was out of his mind, he wouldn't allow assassins to enter the palace wearing weapons and clothes bearing the insignia of the Prince of Pingxi's residence!

Such a clumsy attempt to frame someone could only fool a three-year-old. The people of the Mu family have seriously underestimated Kang Mazi.

Even if Kang Mazi is still a child and is fooled by such a clumsy scheme, surely the ministers in the court are not all fools?

Therefore, the Mu family's plan to send assassins into the palace was doomed to fail and would instead result in the loss of their few remaining capable men.

It's one thing for Prince Mu Jiansheng to come up with such an outlandish idea, but the real problem is that none of the seasoned veterans like Liu Dahong raised any objections. It's clear that everyone in Prince Mu's mansion is a bunch of incompetent teammates.

No wonder that despite its considerable reputation in the martial arts world, the Mu family has declined year by year, leaving only a handful of people.

It seems they don't even have a strategist!

"Ta-da..."

"Assassin! Catch the assassin!"

Under Aizen's speechless gaze, the people from the Mu family had only infiltrated the palace a short time before they alerted the palace's patrol guards, who began to scatter in all directions.

In fact, this matter was also related to Suzuki Harumi. Because Ao Bai was assassinated in his own residence, the security forces inside the palace were obviously increased by several levels.

If it were Suzuki Seimei, he could easily discover the hidden sentries and eliminate them discreetly.

However, the people in the Mu family were all a bunch of stubborn brutes. They were fine with fighting and killing, but it would be too much to ask them to do infiltration and assassination.

"Everyone, split up and break through! Kill all these dogs! Killing one is no loss, killing two is a bonus, kill them!"

! ”

Before the palace guards could form an encirclement, Wu Li roared and charged into the depths of the palace.

Chapter 352 Hero Saves the Beauty

In fact, when Wu Li agreed to Mu Jiansheng's request to lead Fang Yi and the others into the palace to assassinate someone that night, he had already mentally prepared himself to sacrifice himself.

After all, if they wanted to frame Wu Sangui for the assassination, how could those cunning Tartars possibly believe it if they didn't leave behind a few corpses of the assassins and make it look convincing?

Moreover, Wu Li still harbored a sliver of hope that if he could really kill the dog emperor, then he would have truly struck gold!

Even if he couldn't kill the dog emperor, Wu Lishen would feel that his death was worthwhile if he could just kill a Tartar princess or concubine.

"Senior brother..."

On the other side, Fang Yi and Liu Yizhou, who were struggling to break through, were also quickly separated by the imperial guards who were besieging them, and could only run around in the maze-like palace.

At this moment, Fang Yi suddenly felt a little regretful. It wasn't that she regretted entering the palace to assassinate someone, but rather that she regretted not having obtained a map of the palace beforehand.

The complexity of the palace's interior architecture far exceeded Fang Yi's imagination!

Without a map, Fang Yi and her group alone would have a problem finding the emperor, let alone assassinating him.

"Catch assassins!"

"Don't let a single assassin escape!"

"Archers, prepare—fire!"

! ”

At first, the people of the Mu family were able to hold on with difficulty, but with the arrival of the archers, they were turned into hedgehogs one by one.

Except for a few who managed to break through, the rest were all dealt with by the imperial guards.

Compared to Wu Lishen and his men, Fang Yi's martial arts skills and combat experience were clearly inferior. Although she successfully broke through the encirclement, she was quickly discovered by the imperial guards.

Completely unfamiliar with the area, Fang Yi wandered into an unfamiliar courtyard like a headless fly, only to be caught red-handed by the imperial guards.

"Ding ding ding..."

Faced with the siege of the imperial guards, Fang Yi could only barely hold on and soon fell into a disadvantageous position, with several nicks appearing on her longsword.

"Am I really going to die here today...?"

The thought of dying a miserable death in this place after only sixteen years of life filled Fang Yi with despair. With her last strength, she shouted, "You scoundrels, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Puff puff……"

Just as Fang Yi was preparing to go all out and take two more people down with her, Aizen, wielding the "Sword of Gambling Relief," suddenly appeared behind the imperial guards. Amidst the flashing blades, heads rolled.

The few imperial guards who reacted the fastest tried to join forces to fight back, but Aizen cleaved them in two along with their weapons.

It's important to know that the "cuts iron like mud" attribute attached to the [Anti-Gambling Sword] is no joke.
