Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

To put it simply, once the clone is killed, the target will also die.

Furthermore, if the clone loses its left hand, the target being copied will most likely also lose its left hand.

This fits the characteristics of a cursed doll.

However, in addition to this, there is a limitation that the replication effect can only be activated if there is continuous contact with the target for three minutes.

The triggering conditions are complicated, but is assassination an absolutely stealthy and lethal weapon?

Sano frowned slightly. What he couldn't understand was, if you're going to curse, fine, but why use a copy of it?

Moreover, the shared state even includes a shared consciousness?

It's not just that it's meaningless; it's a pure drawback, and logically it should be placed in the restrictions section...

Suddenly, Sano's train of thought came to an abrupt halt, and then his eyes widened in shock. Could it be?!

Sano looked at the cloned doll he had been holding for at least three minutes and tried to activate the replication effect. The next second, the surface of the doll began to surge wildly, then rapidly expanded, changed color, and twisted, eventually becoming an existence that was exactly the same as Sano in appearance, size, and clothing.

Most importantly, Sano's perspective was split into two parts!

Sano tried to control the clone with his consciousness, and sure enough, he controlled it to make the corresponding actions.

Clenching fists, raising legs, turning heads, and executing combinations—whether simple movements or complex maneuvers, they are all executed meticulously and rigorously.

Doesn't this mean that Sano can make this clone do whatever he wants, just like controlling a game character?

Isn't this the clone technique that Sano has been dreaming of?!

Goodness, that explains it. So that's how it's used – why did we have to create a clone effect?

The curses and assassinations are just side effects; their real purpose is for Sano's own use.

Sano's eyes were filled with excitement.

Sano's reason for wanting the clone technique is actually quite simple... It's not that he wants to be able to do his homework twice as fast, but rather that he wants to use it for his alternate identities.

The relationship between the alternate identity and the original identity has now become quite a difficult problem.

Initially, Conan suspected that Sano was the Black Death, then Gin suspected that Sano was the Black Mask, and then although it was not explicitly stated, Sano could also see that Amuro Tooru still had doubts about the fact that Sano was no longer the Black Death.

The latter two are alright, not particularly serious at the moment, but the former has even been investigated... although Sano temporarily brushed it off.

But no matter which one it is, it's only temporary.

Not to mention whether other problems might arise in the future.

For example, Conan suspects that Sano is Rye or Black Mask, Gin also suspects that Sano is Black Mask or even Black Death, and even Amuro Tooru suspects that Sano is Rye, etc.

If one had the ability to create clones, all these problems would be solved.

...Although Sano had previously used Kaito Kuroba as a tool to achieve a clone technique, even a double clone, it was ultimately a pseudo-clone technique performed through disguise, and it would be exposed if one was not careful.

Even if he wasn't exposed, Sano couldn't rely on that guy for help every time.

Because if you walk by the river often, your shoes will inevitably get wet.

Secondly, in that kind of formula, Kaito Kuroba himself is already the biggest weakness.

Unless Sano treats that guy like a disposable item, disposing of him immediately after use.

However, if Sano were to actually do that, it would contradict his original purpose.

Now it's different. If things are handled properly, Sano will never be exposed again... But that doesn't seem to be the case. If the clone in disguise has a problem in front of others, and then he also has a problem, then the problem seems to be even more obvious.

But there's nothing we can do about it; nothing in this world is perfect.

Anyway, one thing is for sure now: at least Sano can stay home by himself from now on, and let the clone go to school to retake the exams in his place. I just don't know if sending this thing to school will count as completing the mission...

Sigh, having another version of yourself go to school in your place—I believe this is a dream that many teenagers have had in their childhood.

I never expected that Sano would actually make it happen today.

Although the fact that clones can only exist for a maximum of three hours is somewhat troublesome.

Regardless, overall, Sano was quite satisfied with and liked this enhancement item.

Chapter 258, Chapter 257: Osaka Castle isn't in Osaka, it's in Tokyo?

Some things still need further experimentation in order to refine future operations and ensure that no mistakes are made.

……

It was night, and Sano had just left the abandoned factory where the Black Reapers gathered.

Along the way, you can see many places with advertisements for Natotong and Armed Detective Agency.

Even in the trash cans, there were flyers that the Black Reaper members had casually handed out.

Wait a minute, the trash can?

Did a passerby who received the flyer throw this thing away, or did the guy handing out the flyers slack off and throw it away?

Sano stared at the flyer for a while, and finally realized that no matter what the situation was, his flesh seemed to hurt a little.

After all, they're all printed with their own money!

Those weren't flyers, they were handouts!

...Never mind, the goal has been achieved anyway. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

Sano shook his head and continued walking.

The "All-in-One Plan" and the "Armed Detective Agency Plan," tailor-made for the Black Reaper, have already begun and are progressing in tandem.

It's just that the detective agency's procedures are simpler, and the way to make money is faster. Most importantly, the Black Reaper's reputation has already been established.

Therefore, the Black Reaper, who has gradually started to generate income, mainly relies on the detective agency for his revenue.

That mistress was very quick-witted. Based on Sano's suggestion to "mainly take on pet-finding cases," she visited every detective agency in Tokyo in just a few days.

...Of course, it's not about killing off competitors and creating a monopoly, but rather preparing to cooperate with them.

Because of Sano's mention of "focusing on low prices," Xiao San discussed with the detectives about outsourcing their pet-finding services. If they found the pet, she would only charge half the fee for the service; if they found it first, she would not charge a penny.

To put it bluntly, it's giving the other party an opportunity to earn half of the commission without lifting a finger.

To put it bluntly, it's giving the Black Reaper members a chance to easily earn half of the commission fee as an extra income.

It's a win-win situation, and neither side loses out. Finding a pet is just a side benefit anyway.

Besides pet-finding requests, the main source of requests for the "Armed Detective Agency" is investigative intelligence on extramarital affairs. This is one of the three major sources of requests for the agency.

That's right, three big heads.

The other major event was rather unexpected.

The main clients are mostly students who are being bullied and extorted by thugs. They either think it's cheaper to do it this way or simply want to vent their anger.

The members of the Black Reaper took on many requests to create a buzz in high schools, middle schools, and even elementary schools.

...He didn't even need to lift a finger. He just put on the skin of the black Grim Reaper, stood behind the client, and those thugs who weren't even delinquents didn't dare to utter a single word of apology and begging for mercy.

As for the Nationwide Pass, although progress has been somewhat slow, at least there has been some progress.

The path of food delivery is similar to, or even more extreme than, pet outsourcing. Basically, you can only rely on outsourcing, going door to door every day to find stores that offer delivery services, negotiating with the owners, and constantly talking your way out of things.

The courier service is slightly better; it can contract with existing courier companies to deliver small packages within Tokyo, while also independently promoting its same-city pickup and delivery service.

The errand running and motorcycle taxi services can only be promoted through advertising, but because of the promotion of other express delivery and detective agency services, they can be handled together, so it's not a burden.

In addition to the above, Sano also mentioned another avenue for mistresses today.

In terms of food delivery services, in addition to delivery, we can also pick up and drop off passengers.

It's basically like a delivery service: the customer calls, and then the Black Reaper members come to pick up the food and deliver it to the customer's door.

However, since most fast food restaurants have a minimum order requirement for delivery services, otherwise the delivery fee would be very expensive, they can gain some advantage by offering lower prices.

...If the other party dares to lower the price, the delivery driver's salary will inevitably be affected, and he will eventually have no choice but to resign and outsource to Nationwide.

Neither side will lose out; the Black Reaper will be at a disadvantage.

This practice seems somewhat unethical, and even has the potential to disrupt the market.

But after all, the business world is like a battlefield; being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.

Although it's not as convenient as the food delivery apps Sano used in her previous life, it's still pretty good.

...Every little bit helps.

Who would complain about not having enough money? To make money, you need customers. What Sano wants is to have a complete, one-stop service.

Otherwise, even if the same-city express delivery and detective agency routes are both based on the premise that there are many Black Reapers and that the side roads and main roads are intertwined, so that they can be done at the same time, they will still lose money because of the low prices. Small profits and quick turnover are the only way to make money.

Finally, one more point that must be mentioned is that the mistress went to see someone from the authorities a few days ago.

...After all, unlike the days when I was free and unrestrained, now that I've decided to enter the business world, I'll inevitably have to deal with government officials.

Although Black Reaper doesn't go into the underworld and does all legitimate business, even if officials wanted to do something, they probably wouldn't have a chance to get involved. But if he were to get tripped up, it would still be quite troublesome.

So, Xiao San, representing Sano... or more accurately, Kokushi, sat down with the official people who had come to see them last time, and they successfully completed the transaction and reached a cooperation agreement.

In summary, the authorities will absolutely not hinder Black Reaper, and will even provide assistance to the best of their ability within reasonable limits. However, large-scale conflict operations led by Black Reaper, as seen in the previous two instances, will not be allowed to occur again.

Unless there are special circumstances, or even if there are special circumstances, you should first contact the authorities and resolve the issue peacefully to uphold the rules of the Yakuza.

Of course, regarding any transactions or collaborations that have been conducted with Sano, all I can say is...

Those who know, know.

"Woo~ woo~ woo~"

Ok?

Sano, who was in his black cat form, blinked his ears and turned his gaze to two police cars speeding down the street.

What's going on? Are they chasing criminals?

The cases I'm being asked to encounter don't seem like simple, ordinary cases. Could it be that Conan is going to get two eggs today?

Sano wagged his tail, then looked up at the helicopter in the sky and the figure that glided through the night sky like a white dove, before his tail paused.

So it was this kid.
