I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

Conan hurriedly looked towards the knocked down bandit, but was surprised to find that the bandit and the gold coins were gone!

In the alley, Officer Sato, who had just finished her finishing work, was about to direct everyone to evacuate. However, just after she turned around and took a few steps, she heard two muffled sounds and a clinking sound from behind her.

"who!"

Officer Sato immediately drew his gun and pointed it behind him, but there was no one in sight. There were only two tied-up people wearing the same clothes as the previous man and a sack left there.

"This is..." Officer Sato was about to step forward to confirm, but her eyes were once again attracted by the knot tied behind the two people's backs.

"It's a bow again..."

"Could it be the same person as before... I need to talk to Inspector Megure."

————————————————————————————————————

Back at the pub, Xier excitedly threw herself onto the bed, rolling around on the bed while hugging her pillow.

"Hahaha, that horrified expression! Hahaha, it's so funny!"

Yes, the reason why Seele left so quickly was because she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. If she laughed in front of Conan and the others, then the dark image of Seele that she had created would be ruined.

"However, I have to create my own background..."

After laughing, Xier sat up again and came to the table, ready to plan the dual personality she had set up. This idea was not a sudden idea. Xier saw many unknowns in this seemingly ordinary world, which greatly aroused Xier's interest.

In order to explore these unknowns safely, Xier needs an identity that can act in the dark and cannot conflict with the normal identity. Xier doesn't want to be found by the official of this world. Although she is not afraid, it is very annoying. Moreover, a dark identity has many advantages. For example, Xier can get information that cannot be obtained in the open through the dark. Although it can be obtained directly, it will only make people afraid and it will become more and more difficult to obtain information. Therefore, it is necessary to have an identity that can move freely to trade this information.

"Let me think...Nightmare Star Abyss..."

Chapter 17 Nightmare Star Abyss

There has been a huge shock in the underground world recently. Almost all the giants and gangs are shocked because of one person. No one knows her name, and no one knows what kind of abilities she has. The only thing that has been circulated is a blurry photo of her from behind with only one eye showing.

It is said that this photo was taken by the most famous paparazzi in the world, but even this most powerful paparazzi gave up his paparazzi career because of this photo. According to him, that look of indifference to all life made him tremble from the bottom of his heart. He remembered that when he just pressed the shutter, his camera exploded inexplicably, and then he heard that man's voice, like a cold wind from hell.

"You're the one peeking at me!"

This was the last sound he heard before he fainted. At this time, the man was still more than a hundred meters away from him. It was obviously impossible for him to discover that he was peeping at this distance.

Of course, this news was not enough for those in the dark world to believe, but what happened next really scared everyone.

It was an unequal battle. One side had 100 mercenaries with sophisticated equipment and skills, while the other side was just a man without any guns.

Anyone could guess the outcome of this battle, and so did the big guys. However, half an hour later, everyone who was watching the battle was shocked.

1vs100, the result was a complete victory, a complete victory of one person.

That person only took half an hour to beat all the mercenaries to the ground, and no one died. You have to know that those mercenaries are the most ferocious people. Even if half of their arms are cut off, they can still maintain considerable combat effectiveness. However, these elite among the elite were completely defeated by one person and were captured alive.

This news shocked the entire underground world, and everyone knew that things were about to change.

'Nightmare Star Abyss'

This is the name that person left behind, and apart from this name that was left behind, no one knows more information. There are also different opinions about the purpose of her appearance. Some people say that this person showed up to find immortality, while others say that she is a devil from hell, born only to destroy.

However, no matter what the rumors are, they cannot stop various forces from wanting to bring him into their own team.

The same goes for the Black Organization. As a huge organization spanning various countries, they naturally know about the deeds of Nightmare Xingyuan, and it is normal for them to want to recruit this person into their ranks.

However, the candidates they shortlisted seemed a little scary at this time.

"Big Brother, this isn't the guy from last time..."

Vodka said in surprise as he looked at the photo that had been copied countless times. Although the people in the photo were not very clear, Vodka recognized them at a glance. It was the woman who had beaten them up for three minutes and even knocked Vodka's glasses off.

"cut!"

Gin took a puff of his cigarette with disdain, but his slightly trembling hands still revealed his mentality.

"Why did the boss ask us to find this person..."

Vodka complained in a low voice. It wasn't that he opposed the boss's order, but Xier's influence on him was too great.

"Brother, what should we do?" Vodka drove the car with a sad face, full of reluctance.

"Stop talking nonsense and drive."

Gin squeezed out these words from his teeth. He didn't want to see her again, but he had to obey the boss's order. After thinking for a while, Gin took out a mobile phone from his arms and dialed the number that he hated.

"Hey! Vermouth..."

--------------------------------

Not to mention Gin who was so angry that his teeth were itching, Seele, who had a good time in the underground world, was sitting quietly at the bar fiddling with the computer. She was wearing a sea blue dress and a white ribbon on her head that tied her long hair into a ponytail. Her blue eyes seemed to have the magic of the sea.

"Eh? Rumors about Moon Shadow Island? Killing people with piano music in the middle of the night, revenge of evil spirits?"

Xier clicked on the report which looked rather strange and read it carefully.

This is a report from a junior reporter, so it didn't get many views, but it recorded a supernatural event on Moon Shadow Island.

"Another report that uses the guise of the supernatural to attract traffic..."

After reading the entire report, Xi'er shook her head. No wonder he was just a junior reporter. The whole article was like a low-end supernatural novel. The characters and events were incomplete, and many of them even used a questioning tone. Is this something that should be done? Approaching Science doesn't write copy like this.

"Hmm? Wait, what is this?"

Just when Xier was about to close the website, she suddenly discovered that there was something wrong with the photo in the article.

It was a street scene bathed in moonlight. At first glance, it seemed like an ordinary photo, but Xier didn't think so. She saw something different in this photo.

"demon?"

Xier looked at the photo carefully. There was a blurry shadow, a hideous demon, half of its body hidden in the side of the house.

Cameras are like mirrors that can always expose things from the other world unconsciously, which is why so many people claim to have seen the supernatural. Of course, this is only true if the supernatural exists. Most of the so-called supernatural photos are actually fake.

However, Xier was sure that the shadow in this photo was a demon.

"interesting."

Seele stroked her chin gently. She had heard Bayonetta say that most of the demons in this world were hiding in hell and would not go out. Although the world's mystery was fading now and there were fewer and fewer people with exorcist skills, they were only fewer. With the development of technology, those exorcists were also improving. This led to a decrease in their numbers but a rapid increase in their strength. Even a powerful ordinary demon could not withstand the bombardment of missiles. Of course, those were demons without any wisdom, and the real cunning demons were hiding in hell. It was easy to tell which was more comfortable, being able to receive offerings without leaving home or having to work hard to find food for a long time and risking being expelled.

"I didn't expect there really are demons. Does that mean there really are supernatural events there?"

Seele suddenly became interested when looking at the devil figure in the photo. She wondered if Bayonetta would be there, after all, she was a witch.

Chapter 18: The Mystery of Moonshadow Island

In the thick fog, a small boat is sailing slowly, and the destination of this boat is a remote island - Moon Shadow Island.

"Really? Why would a famous detective like me accept such a strange commission and go to this remote island?"

Kogoro Mori looked at the fog in front of him with great depression, and he didn't know when it would end.

"Okay, Dad, just think of it as a trip."

Xiaolan comforted the depressed Kogoro, then she picked up Conan who was standing beside her and said, "But I didn't expect to meet Sister Xier in a place like this. It's really fate."

"Of course, this is what we call destiny meeting each other even though they are thousands of miles apart."

Xier said with a smile, leaning against the fence.

"Isn't this how it's used to mean that fate brings people together even though they are thousands of miles apart..."

Conan, who was being held in the arms, complained quietly when he heard Seele's words. But when Seele looked at him, he immediately shut his mouth and huddled in Xiaolan's arms like a hamster.

"Speaking of which, why did Miss Xier go to Moon Shadow Island?"

Xiaolan asked curiously, if they went to this remote island because of Kogoro Mori's work, then why did Noelle go there?

"Well... it's not a big deal... just a normal trip."

Seele thought for a moment and gave her excuse. To be honest, she didn't expect to see the Maori family on the ferry to Moon Shadow Island. She thought it was just a simple trip, but when she saw Conan, she knew it was not an ordinary trip.

Although she didn't know much about Conan, Seele vaguely felt the power of death from him.

Originally, Xier did not have this ability, but after Xier, who possessed the ability of the Law of Death, had been infected by multiple worlds, the power of the Law of Death that originally resided in Xier had changed. Originally, the power of the Law of Death was simply the power of creation and destruction, and had little to do with the concept of death. But maybe it was because she had been exposed to the power of death in multiple worlds, now her power of the Law of Death has gradually approached the concept of the god of death in mythology. Xier can now vaguely feel the power of death. For example, she can see the death aura from a person. The thicker the death aura, the more likely that person is to die.

However, the aura of death is not absolute. For example, Xier once saw a strong aura of death on a customer, but when his wife grabbed his ear and took him home, the aura of death disappeared. Xier guessed that it might be because if the man continued to drink, he would die of alcohol poisoning, but his wife did not let him continue drinking, so the original death was changed.

After many experiments, Xier found that this ability can indeed see death as she thought, but death is not a given. People can eliminate this death outcome by changing an action or a choice. It is more appropriate to say that she saw the death flag rather than seeing death.

But Conan is different. Seele also saw the death aura from him. However, unlike other people, his death aura is around him and has little to do with him. In other words, wherever Conan goes, there is a high probability of death, but nothing happens to him. This discovery surprised Seele. However, more clues can only be drawn after Seele observes.

"Travel?" Xiaolan was stunned.

"That's right. Although Moon Shadow Island is located in a remote area, the scenery on the island is beautiful, especially when the moon is rising. The scene is very beautiful, so I came here."

Xier explained with a smile that although her purpose was not to travel, she was indeed talking about the scenery of Yueying Island. Yueying Island was once developed as a tourist attraction, but it was later shelved for some reasons.

"Eh? Really? So there's such an amazing history..."

Listening to Xier explaining the history of Moon Shadow Island, Xiaolan opened her mouth in surprise. She felt that Miss Xier was really amazing as she could find out such insignificant history.

"...So, Moon Shadow Island is actually very beautiful. Ah, I can see the land now."

Xier looked up at the land gradually appearing in the distance and said.

"So fast?"

Xiaolan looked up reluctantly. Xier's story was very interesting, which made her, who knew nothing, listen with great interest. However, it was because of Xier's explanation that Xiaolan became a little curious about this remote island.

"By the way, Xiaolan, have you chosen a residence on the island?" Xier turned around and asked.

"Hey, it seems the client has booked a place for us." Xiaolan recalled carefully and said that the client was very generous and covered the travel expenses of the Maori family, even including the food and lodging expenses.

"Really? By the way, Xiaolan, although the moon view is beautiful, don't go out easily after nightfall. Although the island is not big, it is still easy for outsiders like us to get lost."

Xier reminded them, of course these were all excuses, but because most demons like to act at night, Xier still reminded them for the safety of Xiaolan and the others.

"Well, thank you, Sister Xier."

Xiaolan smiled sweetly and then went to help Maori carry his luggage.

Seeing Xiaolan walking away, Xier's smile gradually faded, and she looked at the Moon Shadow Island that was about to arrive with a serious expression. In the world that ordinary people could not see, there was a huge black cloud floating above the Moon Shadow Island. It was not a natural phenomenon but the condensation of huge magic power. However, because these magic powers could not find a host, they floated above the island in this form.

“Is there any powerful creature here?”

Xier murmured as she watched the black clouds condense and dissipate. She had originally just wanted to see what a lone demon looked like, but it looked like she had caught a big fish. This level of magic power was not something that everyone could possess.

(But what kind of existence could gather such a huge amount of magic power in such a remote place? Could it be that some sealed demon king is about to be released?)

Xier thought with a smile, she almost laughed at this joke. What era is it in? Is there still such a creature as the devil? Shouldn't the devil work at McDonald's (dog head)?

"Well, that person?"

After getting off the boat, Xier walked through a small square, and her attention was suddenly attracted by a person.

In Xier's sight, the man's entire face was surrounded by death aura. This was a scene she had never seen before. Xier had never known that a person's death aura could be so strong. But speaking of it, how good is this guy's luck? Why hasn't he died with such a strong death aura?

"Cough cough..."

Just as Xier was looking at that person, that person seemed to notice Xier's gaze. He coughed weakly twice and then walked towards Xier.

"That...Miss?"

The man looked at Xi'er with a tired face and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the devil is?"

"what?"

Xier was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought of the joke she had just made. Could it be that there really is a demon king?

"Ah, sorry sorry."

The man seemed to realize that he had said something wrong. He quickly apologized, then took out a yellowed photo from his arms and handed it to Xier.

Xier looked down at the photo. It was a photo of two people. One of them was the man with kidney deficiency in front of her, and the other one standing next to him was a girl with a bright smile.

"Excuse me, have you seen the woman in the photo?"

There was a glimmer of hope in the man's eyes. He seemed to want to hear a positive answer from Xier. However, Xier was destined to disappoint him. After all, Xier had just arrived on the island.

"Sorry." Xier returned the photo and said, "I just came to this island and have never seen this lady."

"Ok."

The light in the man's eyes suddenly went out, and he returned to his original half-dead state and said, "Thank you very much for your help." Then the man walked away with his head hung.

"What a weird guy..."

Xier looked at the man in confusion and shrugged speechlessly. There are really all kinds of people these days.
