After being reminded by the system, Kaoru Kazama remembered that he not only had the Sharingan, but also the Mangekyou Sharingan. He hadn't used it at first because he was worried about going blind, and then he completely forgot about it.
"In that case, could you offer some compensation after the matter is completed?"
"I know what you want. After the mission is completed, your Kaleidoscope will naturally be upgraded to Eternal. However, you haven't even figured out the Kaleidoscope's abilities yet, so don't be too ambitious. That's all I have to say. It's up to you now, host. Good luck!"
"Kaleidoscope Sharingan!"
Kazama Kaoru felt a little impatient at this point, but if he wanted to bring the high bridge under his control, there was a very important factor that needed to be addressed first: the existence of the piers.
Genjutsu, or chakra control, is a technique that uses the mind and energy of a person to control chakra. The reason why genjutsu in Naruto is ineffective against Jinchuriki is that those Jinchuriki have the chakra of the Tailed Beasts inside their bodies, which disrupts the control of genjutsu, making it impossible to cast genjutsu on them.
The so-called "pillar" or "special magnetic field" is clearly such a thing. If it's not resolved, even the Rinnegan wouldn't be of much use.
"By the way, Ran, where did Miss Ikeda go? I haven't seen her at all."
Kaoru Kazama asked this question because he couldn't sense Chikako Ikeda's presence inside the villa.
"Oh, while you were resting, Xiao Xun, Ms. Chikako said that it was too stuffy inside and she wanted to go out for a walk. We tried to persuade her to leave, but she said that the bandaged monster had already been caught and there was nothing to be afraid of. Besides, she was just taking a walk around the neighborhood and then she left."
"About how long ago was this?"
Kaoru Kazama frowned, feeling as if things were slipping out of his control.
"Hmm, let me think... It should be about half an hour since Zuoyou was born."
Xiaolan stroked her chin, thought carefully, and then said with certainty:
"I see. Were there any other people with you?"
Kaoru Kazama considered a possibility and seriously asked Ran:
"Well, I'm not entirely sure either, but about ten minutes after Ms. Chikako left, Mr. Kakutani also left the villa. I don't know if he went to look for Ms. Chikako, but given their relationship, it's quite possible."
Kazama Kaoru hadn't expected so much to happen in just a few hours in the house. He now understood why Takahashi had been so well-behaved. It was impossible for a normal person to sleep so soundly while bound in this position. If Kazama Kaoru wasn't mistaken, the stool had clearly left Takahashi's body and most likely possessed Ikeda Chikako, and then left the building where the book was written.
"That's troublesome. Even if we tie up this fat guy, it won't help."
"Xiao Lan, I'm going out for a bit too. I'll look for those two while I'm at it. Don't worry."
By the time Ran realized what was happening, Kazama Kaoru had already reached the entrance hall.
"But it's already so late, it must be unsafe outside."
The rain had stopped outside, but in such darkness, and surrounded by a forest that had just been rained on, it was hardly a suitable time to go out.
"It's okay. Do you need to worry about my safety? I think others should be more worried if they run into me."
Kazama Kaoru was extremely anxious, but she couldn't show it. It was a minor matter if Conan caught her out on something; the real problem was that the villa was mostly filled with women and children, and if she got scared, things would get complicated.
As for Ota Masaru, the guy who dared to risk his life to pin him against the wall is no longer considered a man. He doesn't even dare to share a room with Ota Masaru anymore.
"But... how about we go with you, okay, Conan?"
Xiaolan was clearly a little scared, but was it really okay for her to act so naturally and affectionately towards a little kid? It was clearly a treatment reserved for a boyfriend.
"No need, you guys just keep playing cards, I'll be right back."
Kaoru Kazama quietly leaned close to Ran's ear and told her how to play the game of drawing white stripes. With Ran's luck, he estimated that when he came back, he would see Conan with a head full of white stripes, and he would definitely take a picture to commemorate the occasion.
With Ran gone, even if Conan is incredibly curious, he wouldn't be able to wander around aimlessly in the middle of the night. This puts him at ease. Ran's job is to keep an eye on Conan, and with Ran watching over this overly curious detective, he can go off without worry.
God knows what terrifying things this ghost would discover if no one was watching it and it followed behind.
At night, his wild instincts seemed to be amplified. Clearly, apart from the few lunatics in the villa, no one else would come to this dark and gloomy jungle. So, after walking a short distance, Kaoru Kazama easily found his two targets.
"I wonder what Atsuko will control Ikeda Chikako to do?"
Sensing that the two people were not far away, Kaoru Kazama's curiosity began to slowly ferment. This man and woman, alone at night, it would be a disservice to the screenwriters and directors if nothing happened.
Isn't Chapter 80 just about being a sucker?
Unfortunately, things weren't as sordid as Kazama Kaoru thought. When he found Ikeda Chikako, she was standing under a tree with Kakutani Hiroki next to her. They looked like a normal couple, and nothing indescribable had happened.
"Hey, this scene is so weird. Is it possible for Dunzi to get along peacefully with other people?"
In Kazama Kaoru's imagination, Ikeda Chikako, possessed by Atsuko, encountered a man alone. Shouldn't she have resorted to absorbing his yang energy? It seems there are such legends in both China and Japan.
But why are these two standing side by side now, looking like they're having a secret rendezvous under the moon?
"Guests over there, now that you're here, there's no need to hide anymore."
A very quiet female voice came from behind the tree, and the recipient was undoubtedly Kaoru Kazama, who was peeping from behind the tree.
How did you know I existed?
Strangely, after discovering Kazama Kaoru's presence, the possessed Chikako Ikeda did not ask him why he had followed her here. Instead, she seemed certain from the beginning that Kazama Kaoru knew the truth about her possession of Chikako Ikeda.
Kazama Kaoru was certain that she hadn't revealed anything. Could it be that the system had some shady relationship with this guy?
"Host, please do not make malicious assumptions about a system as pure as me, as this will tarnish my image."
"Are you Dunzi?"
Upon getting closer, Kazama Kaoru realized that Hiroki Kakutani was only standing there; judging from his dazed look, he was not in his right mind.
"You could say that, but the real Dunzi died seven years ago. I can only be considered a lingering obsession."
Her soft voice revealed an indescribable loneliness and solitude, along with a hint of helplessness. This complex tone suggested that she had experienced a lot, which made Kazama Kaoru feel fortunate.
Having died before, I wonder if I would be in this situation if I hadn't transmigrated into the world of Detective Conan. I really have to thank the system at times like this.
"So you're doing this to get revenge on Chikako Ikeda? Or do you have some other purpose?"
To be honest, the plot has developed to this point and is completely unpredictable. Not to mention that Atsuko's issue did not appear in the original work, now Hiroki Kakutani has been dragged into this matter. Could it be that there is some hidden story between him and Atsuko?
Kazama Kaoru was truly impressed by this honest-looking man; appearances can be deceiving.
"In fact, I did want to do that at first. Why should I be left to wander around in despair in that small room, suffering from loneliness, while that woman can hold my work and swagger around accepting people's worship and praise? All of this should have belonged to me."
As Dunzi spoke, her face became increasingly distorted, and her expression grew more and more terrifying. Just as Kazama Kaoru was on guard, thinking that Dunzi was about to cause some trouble, her face returned to normal in an instant, as if she hadn't said anything at all.
"It seems that both women and female ghosts are very good at changing their expressions!"
Kaoru Kazama looked at the seemingly neurotic female ghost in front of her. No one could figure out what was going on in her mind. It seems that the hearts of both women and female ghosts are like needles at the bottom of the sea!
"From what you're saying, you're not planning on getting revenge now."
In fact, while talking to Atsuko, Kazama Kaoru's pupils were already slowly changing. First, three dark tomoe appeared, and then the three tomoe spun rapidly, slowly forming a windmill shape. He immediately felt an extremely powerful pupil power, and in that instant, he felt a sense of being able to control everything.
"No wonder Sasuke is so immature. If I had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, I might have gone off to fight Pain in a big way."
Although he hasn't figured out the abilities of his kaleidoscope yet, he can vaguely guess that his left eye's ability is definitely related to illusion. He has begun to control the surrounding environment to help him construct a super illusion that is imperceptible and irresistible.
"What brings you here? It's not very polite to just ask me."
Although her voice was still very quiet, her personality had obviously changed. If she were really the shy girl from the original story, she probably wouldn't have asked such a question.
"I was just out looking for these two people who went out late at night. After all, as a police officer, it is my duty to protect the safety of the public."
When using the Sharingan, Kaoru Kazama lowers his head slightly, so that his bangs completely cover his eyes. At least, Dunzi, who is standing on a high place, cannot notice anything unusual about his eyes.
"Oh, so you're here to protect a woman who plagiarizes others' work and is still smug about it? You police really can't tell right from wrong."
Chikako Ikeda, or rather, Atsuko, had a somewhat eerie smile. Kaoru Kazama was trying to figure out what the girl's purpose was in wasting her breath on him. Logically speaking, he should be an ordinary person who posed no threat in Atsuko's eyes. If she had any conscience, it would be normal for her not to attack him.
But looking at the obviously twisted-personality Dunzi in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly deny his guess.
"Actually, it's no big deal to tell you my purpose. Anyway, your fate is already sealed. I will take this woman's place, control her destiny, and take back what I lost. All of this is owed to me by her, and it is owed to me by all of you. No one can stop me."
"Hahahaha"
Chikako Ikeda's lips, heavily smeared with lipstick, were wide open, and Kaoru Kazama could see the corners of her mouth taut. If she opened it any wider, her mouth could probably fit her own fist. I really don't know why female ghosts like to scare people so much.
"Actually, I think that revenge only leads to more revenge. If you trust me, I can help you expose all of this and get back what belongs to you. All of this can be done through legal channels, instead of resorting to violence."
Regardless of what the female ghost was up to, Kaoru Kazama was indeed stalling for time and trying to calm her down. If her emotions fluctuated too much, he might not be able to handle the Kaleidoscope he had just started using.
"Is that so? Then why is no one seeking justice for me who died seven years ago and finding out the truth?"
Atsuko sneered, dismissing Kaoru Kazama's words with disdain, clearly determined to take revenge on Chikako Ikeda.
"Conan hadn't appeared yet back then, so you can't blame the police for this."
Of course, Kaoru Kazama could only mutter these thoughts to himself; if he said them aloud, the female ghost probably wouldn't understand.
"No matter what, this woman owes me. I'll make her pay the price. Her future—her life, her wealth, her reputation, even her lover—will belong to me."
Dunzi's expression was ferocious as he uttered the words in a grandiloquent tone, as if making a vow, but predictably, it was full of childish chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur).
Kaoru Kazama: "Isn't this just being a sucker? What an unusually ambitious goal!"
Chapter 81 The Representative of Clean Energy—Chakra
Although he was inwardly mocking the female ghost's "ambition," Kaoru Kazama was far from relaxed, after all, he was still counting on her for his Rinnegan.
If I don't complete the system boss's tasks, where will I get Hashirama cells to help me upgrade my Rinnegan?
If this were in the Naruto world, I might be able to find a way, but in the Detective Conan world, forget it. I'll just have to stick to the system's coattails.
With this in mind, Kaoru Kazama silently cast an illusion while using words to relax the female ghost in front of her who appeared to be mentally ill.
"Since you want to get revenge on Chikako Ikeda, why did you drag the man next to you into this? Isn't he your classmate too?"
"You mean him? Humph, someone like him doesn't deserve to be my classmate. He looks righteous and upright, but he's actually hiding a lot of ulterior motives. He's only thinking about currying favor with this arrogant and ignorant woman. If it weren't for those two scoundrels colluding, I wouldn't have had such a good opportunity to take shape."
At the end, Dunzi was clearly a little proud, as if she had used some method to be able to go out. Kazama Kaoru's eyesight was quite good, and she was able to clearly see Kakutani Hiroki's weak and feeble appearance by the moonlight.
This appearance was really unsightly; his face was so pale it looked like he had lost too much blood. However, it unexpectedly matched Kazama Kaoru's guess, as if he had been drained of his yang energy.
"Alright, after hearing so much from me, I think I've satisfied your insatiable curiosity. It's a pity you arrived too late, otherwise I might have considered using you as a possession object. After all, you're much prettier than this old woman."
Kazama Kaoru: "WTF, is this considered a compliment?"
At this moment, his feelings were extremely complicated. Logically speaking, he should be unhappy to be praised for his beauty as a girl, but he felt a strange sense of pride.
"So, what are you planning to do?"
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Kaoru Kazama turned to Atsuko and asked, "Is this female ghost bloodthirsty, and what will she do to me, the witness?"
Anyway, the illusion has already been set up and can be activated at any time, so there's no need to chat for a while.
Kaoru Kazama has lived this long and has seen many people, but this is the first time she has seen a ghost, especially a female ghost who has created various legends and ghost stories.
"It's a pity that from the moment you discovered me, your life was destined to end here. Otherwise, why would I reveal so many inside stories to you? Because only the dead can keep secrets, and that is an eternal truth."
