In Conan, the shrine is inherited

"Well, I was wrong too..."

Miyano Akemi calmed down for a while, looked at her arm, raised her head and looked at Ye Qiuxin, "Qiuxin, what...what did you do?"

"I saved you." Ye Qiuxin smiled.

"It's not that... well, it is that." Miyano Akemi blushed, "I'm asking about my body..."

"You are my follower, so of course I have the ability to make you condense into a solid body, but it consumes a lot of mana. The same is true for making you fall from the sky. This is a kind of restraint function." Ye Qiuxin said, "But you are still in the state of a ghost body. Sister Mingmei, look for yourself, your hair and clothes are not wet, and your legs can't feel the temperature of the hot spring."

Miyano Akemi swung her legs and feet in the water, feeling it carefully.

The water wrapped around her ankles, and her toes were slightly clamped, giving her a slippery feeling.

Just as Ye Qiuxin said, she could feel the waves of the water but not its temperature. The dress she was wearing was also made of her soul, so it naturally would not be soaked by the water.

Miyano Akemi was a little depressed, but she also understood that she would die after all and could not enjoy the same life as ordinary people.

If she, as a ghost, could be the same as ordinary people, wouldn't that be too unfair to ordinary people?

but……

Miyano Akemi pouted, getting angry when she thought about what happened just now, and punched Ye Qiuxin's chest lightly, "So mean... How could you tease me like this?"

"Isn't it because Sister Mingmei didn't tell me what happened? What happened?" Ye Qiuxin asked.

At this time, his magic power was almost gone, reaching the danger level he set, so he dissolved Miyano Akemi's physical form and turned back into a soul shadow.

After being a soul for a long time, Miyano Akemi also felt that floating in the air was more comfortable, but she did not answer Ye Qiuxin's question, but just said: "You will know later."

You will know soon...

Ye Qiuxin snorted softly and leaned against the edge of the pool, but his mind was no longer on enjoying the hot spring.

There were only two people and one ghost in this small courtyard. Now he and Miyano Akemi were in the hot spring, so who would make the move later? Sister Akemi was so mysterious. Was it necessary for her to hide it?

But, is it true or not...

Could it be really the same as he guessed?

Chapter 101 Reward a Child

Suddenly, the door was opened.

Miyano Akemi giggled and suddenly disappeared from the hot spring room, and no one knew where she went.

Ye Qiuxin turned his head and looked, somewhat incredulous. Although he guessed what might happen, he still subconsciously held his breath.

The door was slightly opened, and Haibara Ai came in like a kitten, her brown hair dripping with water, she must have just taken a shower, her petite body was wrapped in a bath towel, her snow-white shoulders were shrouded in wet vapor, her figure was looming, she turned around and closed the door, there was no sound of slippers, she walked over with cautious steps on her bare pink feet.

"Why are you here?" Ye Qiuxin came back to his senses, and his puzzled voice sounded dull in the humid hot spring room.

Huibara Ai didn't say anything and just glanced at him indifferently.

Ye Qiuxin looked seriously at the little man standing behind him.

She stood on tiptoe by the pool, like a thriving sapling.

Ye Qiu thought, this is no different from a child. He still remembered the scene that night, Miyano Shiho patted her body through the quilt, proudly saying that she was already an adult, but at this moment... her childlike innocence was fully revealed in the ups and downs of the soles of her feet.

"Can't we take a hot spring bath?" Haibara Ai slowly entered the pool, took off the bath towel, revealing her black swimsuit and soft belly.

"Okay, go ahead." Ye Qiu really wanted to ask why she had to take a hot spring bath with him, as it would be more appropriate for him to do it alone. But suddenly he felt that there was no point in asking. He just thought that since they were all wearing swimsuits, it would be similar to playing on the beach in a sense. In the refreshing sea breeze, men and women were also wearing swimsuits and having fun on the beach.

But they were sitting in a hot spring...

Ye Qiuxin's eyes swept across the hot spring, and he thought of Miyano Akemi's whereabouts. Akemi was probably somewhere secretly watching them. It was true that he had the Yin-Yang eyes, but he couldn't see the soul even through a wall.

After asking several times in his mind without getting any answer, Ye Qiuxin gave up and his eyes finally fell on Huibara Ai's face.

She closed her eyes, her skin was white with a rosy glow, as if warm blood had dripped into the cold snow.

As if sensing his gaze, Huiyuan Ai opened her eyes, stared straight at the hazy water in front of her, and said lightly: "This is hot."

"Oh, I'm hot too." Ye Qiuxin nodded.

"I have a question."

"what?"

"Have you ever listened to the tape my mother left for me?"

"No." Ye Qiuxin didn't like to pry into other people's privacy.

"Then you can listen to it." Huihara Ai's face turned even redder. She paused and changed the subject forcefully, "Silver Bullet, the tape my mother left for my eighteenth birthday mentioned something like this - the silver bullet - in the tape my mother said that she and my father were developing a terrible drug, while my colleagues in the laboratory were very excited to call it a dream drug.

"I think it's the predecessor of APTX4869..."

Ye Qiuxin was just thinking about the tape, but the words that followed made him wonder why you were talking to me about this. He didn't know anything about chemistry. But after the words completely sank into his mind, he immediately realized what it meant. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "You mean to say that the people in the organization don't know that the drug can turn people back to their juvenile bodies, but they are not without understanding."

"Yeah." Huiyuan Ai replied calmly. Talking about business would help calm her down. "It's very likely that someone has already taken a drug similar to Silver Bullet."

"Who is it?" Ye Qiuxin asked, but he actually had a vague answer in his heart.

"Vermouth." Huihara Ai looked at him, "A woman favored by that adult, one of the top leaders of the organization. I never understood why she hated me so much before, but now I think that hatred might be due to this." She sighed and said, "But I just guessed that she had taken it, because her appearance has not aged."

Thinking of that beautiful face and the cold look that came with it, Huibara Ai felt a chill.

Life in the organization was a shadow that would never go away for her entire life.

Ye Qiuxin was muttering in his heart, it was almost the same as he guessed...

In his previous life, when he watched the movie, he also wondered why Vermouth always looked young, and whether she had taken a drug similar to APTX4869. In his previous life, the old thief Qingshan never revealed this secret, and kept it tightly in his hands, hiding it from anyone.

Now that the truth is revealed, there is an inexplicable sense of simplicity.

It turns out that this is a drug developed by my father-in-law and mother-in-law.

But Huiyuan Ai also said that it was only a possibility, not a certainty. However, Ye Qiuxin thought that there seemed to be no other possibility.

"I'll help you contact the laboratory equipment tomorrow," he said.

"Thank you for your response. It's great that we can start the drug research of APTX4869 as soon as possible." Huiyuan Ai said, "Based on the importance the organization attaches to this drug, when I finish it, we may be able to peek into the true face of the organization."

Ye Qiuxin smiled and thought that it was still too early.

"There's no rush for research. I don't care about the true face of the organization." He thought for a moment and said, "Besides research equipment, if you want anything else, I'll help you prepare it."

"Yes." Huibara Ai said softly.

"There really is."

"Why are you so surprised? Didn't you ask me to bring it up?" Huibara Ai had a blank expression.

"Okay, okay, go ahead." Ye Qiuxin raised his hands in surrender.

"I want to hear my sister speak, not communicate with paper and pen." Huiyuan Ai said expectantly, "I know I can't practice, but since you can make amulets to protect ordinary people from ghosts, you can also make some props that allow ordinary people to hear ghosts."

"You want this..." Ye Qiu suddenly realized.

"Can you help me?" Huibara Ai's tone unconsciously became much softer.

Miyano Akemi floated out. She had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people in the field before, but when she heard the topic about herself, she couldn't hide anymore. She floated in front of Huihara Ai and shook her head, telling Ye Qiuxin in her mind that it was no problem to communicate with pen and paper.

But she was also looking forward to communicating directly with her sister, mainly because she was afraid of affecting Ye Qiuxin.

"I can't do it." Before the Miyano sisters could express their disappointment, Ye Qiuxin changed the subject and said with a smile, "But there is an item that can do it. In my heritage, it is recorded that there is a creature in the dark world called Mist Tengu. After getting rid of it, the Mist Tengu will leave behind an item called Ghost Language Pearl, which can enable the soul to communicate with humans."

"Really?" Huihara Ai happily stood out of the pool, creating a small splash of water, and stared straight into Ye Qiuxin's eyes.

"Mist Tengu..." Miyano Akemi was worried, "I remember it's a monster that can kill people. It's very dangerous. Let's not look for it. It's fine to communicate with pen and paper."

"Really." Ye Qiuxin's eyes froze for a moment, then he came back to his senses and said, "Sister Mingmei, don't worry. The strength of the Fog Tengu changes with the weather. The bigger the thunderstorm, the stronger it is. It will take some effort for me to get rid of it. But if it's a sunny day, it's just a tiny cloud of fog, and getting rid of it is as easy as getting rid of an ordinary soul.

"You go to school first, and I'll take you to find the Mist Tengu during the next holiday."

"Okay." Huibara Ai nodded obediently.

"Hurry up and sit down." Ye Qiuxin looked up and down, his eyes swept across the ordinary chest and the legs and feet reflected in the water. This swimsuit is quite good-looking, and the most important thing is that the person wearing it is good-looking. He chuckled, "Aren't you afraid of slipping?"

Hearing this, Huihara Ai's cheeks turned red again, her cheeks burning hot, and she sat down carefully.

Her eyes were vague and uncertain. She had talked about everything she could talk about and could no longer look at Ye Qiuxin openly. After looking around for a while, she closed her eyes helplessly. Her vision disappeared and her perception of the outside world was entirely based on touch.

She felt the warm water and thought to herself, I will have many, many things in the future...

***

At the same time, in an ancient castle in Ekoda District, Beihua City, Tokyo.

"I can't find it... I can't find it... I can't find it..." Koizumi Hongzi's red eyes were fixed on the divination crystal ball in her hand. The red crystal bracelet on her wrist flashed light from time to time. Each flash meant that the divination was successful. The crystal ball emitted a faint light and the scene inside flickered, but the scene just switched from one fog to another.

She was looking for the culprit who caused her potion-making failure!

During that experiment, the potion crucible that had been passed down from generation to generation cracked, and all the potion materials that had been collected for a long time disappeared.

And it made her so embarrassed...

Koizumi Hongzi swore in her heart that if she didn't avenge this, she would not have children, so that the inheritance of red magic would end in her generation.

But to take revenge, you must first find the target of revenge.

So she began a massive search for the "murderer".

But the crystal ball always pointed to a gray fog. At first, Koizumi Hongzi thought she had made a mistake in her divination, so she put on a red crystal bracelet to assist in divination. Fog, fog, and more fog...

The scene shown in the crystal ball remained unchanged.

The last divination ended with a failure as usual, and her magic power was almost exhausted.

Koizumi Hongzi put the crystal ball into a velvet-wrapped box, her face so gloomy that it could scare a child to tears. Again... and again she failed. In front of her was a tall magic mirror, and on the table were scattered tarot cards and constellation charts, and even a copy of "The Book of Changes" and "The Interpretation of Dreams by Zhou Gong".

These days, she has tried every possible means of divination.

She even tried the Eastern system of divination...

But the result was nothing!

"Damn it... Who are you? What method did you use to block my divination?" Koizumi Hongzi gritted her teeth, wondering in her heart whether the other party deliberately interrupted her potion experiment.

Originally, Koizumi Hongzi was thinking that as both were inheritors of the dark world in the Dharma Ending Age, she would find the other party and ask him what was going on. If it was not intentional, there was no need to do anything too extreme. She could just give him a small punishment and make him her lifelong slave, and let the matter go.

After you have served her well, you can reward her with a child and let him pass on the inheritance of the dark world to future generations.

After all, they are all precious inheritances from the dark world...

Of course not with her.
