Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

This is the seaside town of Fuyuki City, where gas pipeline problems are said to occur on a daily basis.

Conanshan would probably stay in this city for one night, so he first found a suitable hotel to check in and then went out for a walk.

"There are no Gosanke, no strange cave in the mountain, and no temple of some kind?"

In less than two hours, Conanshan had basically investigated everything that needed to be investigated.

After all, this place is so famous that he would know it even without having to remember it specifically, which makes it much easier for him to move around.

However, this messy patchwork world remains the same, with only a background but no so-called core story, and even fewer characters to drive the story forward.

Therefore, he has no idea what the real substance is behind the things he sees on the surface until he has a deeper understanding of them.

Of course, he really hopes that there is no so-called behind-the-scenes thing, and that everything is just on the surface.

"Let's stay one night and see. We have to wait anyway."

Conan-san slept peacefully in Fuyuki City, whose name resounded throughout the heavens and the world.

Nothing happened and the night just passed.

The next morning, he had a quick bite to eat at the hotel and then went out to an agreed location.

Under a very famous bridge in this city, the person Conanshan wanted to meet was waiting in the park over there.

"Conan-san, it's been a long time."

Liu Ming, a member of the Ministry of Magic's Countermeasures Office, which deals with all sorts of trivia and troubles in the human world, smiled and waved to Conan-san, with whom he hadn't contacted or met for a whole year.

"Hello, long time no see."

Of course, Conan Shan will not easily forget Liu Ming, a member of the Ministry of Magic.

Although the two sides have not been in contact for a long time, what they have experienced is very memorable.

The other person's appearance has not changed much. He is still a handsome oriental young man. He does not seem to have become more mature. He feels almost the same as he was a year ago.

"This is what you want."

Following the instructions of a superior, Liu Ming handed a tightly wrapped small package to Conan Shan.

"Conan-san, I will be the one assisting you from outside during the next operation to infiltrate Academy City. Please give me your guidance until the end of this operation."

160 Infiltrating the Campus Urban Group

The Chief Auror commissioned Conan Shan to conduct an investigation in the human world, but of course it was impossible for Conan Shan to investigate alone. :

Some basic help is available.

Although we cannot make a big fuss about investigating Academy City, it is not a problem to send a supporting personnel.

Liu Ming, who was a resident in the human world, knew Conan-san because of the last Heroic War in Changkong City. He was noticed by the Chief Auror and was made an assistant in this secret investigation.

Although the Chief Auror's position is second in command of the Auror Office, his influence actually radiates throughout the Ministry of Magic.

In addition, Liu Ming's office, which specializes in handling human world affairs, is a bit like a fire brigade. It was actually the Chief Auror who first proposed the establishment of this department, and he still supports it now. So secretly, Liu Ming can be regarded as a direct subordinate of the Chief Auror.

Conan Shan's investigation this time was a classified operation to some extent. Few people in the Ministry of Magic knew about it, and it happened in the human world, so it was somewhat logical to ask members of the department stationed in the human world to assist.

"Conan-san, because of my identity, I cannot enter Academy City. Unless you are in trouble that you cannot handle, I will not risk going in to pick you up. Please be careful." 9

"No problem. Besides, I have this thing in my hand, so the chance of being discovered is very low."

Conanshan shook the tightly packed package in his hand.

He still has some confidence in this investigation.

After all, the Chief Auror had already made all kinds of preparations, so Conan-san didn't have to worry about anything. He just had to go to the destination and conduct an investigation.

He wasn't going to fight, he just needed to sneak in and investigate quietly. With his current skills and reactions, there shouldn't be any big problems.

"Then let's set off."

Liu Ming grabbed Conanshan's shoulder and used an Apparition. The next second, the two people who were originally in Fuyuki City arrived at the outskirts of Academy City in the north-central part of the Far East.

The place where they appeared was a very clever blind spot that would not be detected by the external security system of the nearby Academy City. There were also many natural shelters nearby, and it was far away from the main passages, making it unlikely to be discovered.

This place, which is not far from the target location, was of course found in advance.

After the short magical transmission ended, Conan Shan couldn't help shaking his head, trying to get rid of the feeling of motion sickness in his mind.

Liu Ming, a top student who graduated from Hogwarts, has pretty good skills in teleportation magic and can teleport far enough. You have to know that this is a human world with a magical environment that is different from that of the magical continent. Being able to teleport instantly from Fuyuki City, south of Tokyo, to Academy City is impossible without some strength.

However, this member of the Ministry of Magic who is in charge of the affairs of the human world can never compare to a certain Dark Lord, and the feeling of teleporting people is far different.

"Conan-san, I'll be on standby at the agreed location. If you have any questions, remember to contact me immediately."

Liu Ming will go to a small town near the Academy City next. He has already found a suitable place as a temporary support point.

Although he could not provide any physical assistance, he was still able to provide navigation.

"In case we lose contact with each other, please do not be reckless. If possible, please contact the Ministry of Magic immediately, or contact my boss. Then, let's start the action."

Conan-san nodded.

Then, he opened the package in his hand, took out the soft thing inside, and put it directly on his body.

Conanshan's figure completely disappeared from Liu Ming's eyes.

Another help provided by the Ministry of Magic, or should I say the Chief Auror, is the magic props that Conan Shan is using now.

The thing that Conan is wearing now is the famous invisibility cloak, or invisibility cloak.

But this thing is not just an invisibility cloak, it is a luxurious upgraded version that has been strengthened by the Chief Auror.

This invisibility cloak can perfectly hide the figure and will not be easily discovered by magical detection. It can also hide the user's smell and sound.

Moreover, this enhanced magic item is not only capable of dealing with magic. Even with the most advanced technology mastered by the academy, it is difficult to detect the existence of this invisibility cloak.

Simply put, after using this enhanced and upgraded version of the invisibility cloak, it is equivalent to a non-existent person disappearing from this world. In theory, it is possible to sneak into any place no matter how tight the security is.

Apart from the fact that it cannot penetrate walls, this invisibility cloak is truly a powerful tool for infiltration.

Conan-san, who had become invisible, began to walk towards the nearby Academy City.

The Academy City in this patchwork world is not exactly the same as the setting in a certain scientific work in Conan's previous life, but it can only be said that there is no similarity at all.

This academy city located in the north-central part of the Far East is a scientific research city bordering the sea on the west.

This place is currently home to more than three million people, but it is not a city that can be entered and exited freely. It is surrounded by a silver-white city wall that is tens of meters high.

After all, the so-called Academy City was not originally used for scientific research and the development of super powers.

However, almost half a century later, this place, which required special applications to enter and exit even for locals in the Far East, has now become a world-famous tourist attraction with similar trends.

Although both local residents and foreign tourists need to apply and obtain permission to enter and exit, the application process is very easy, just like going to other countries without a visa.

The approval may take at most one month, but it is usually completed within seven days.

This Academy City, which is administered by the United Nations, is essentially a special zone built in the Far East, and to some extent can be said to be a country within a country.

Conan Shan initially considered whether to enter here openly as a tourist, but considering what he was going to do, he gave up the idea and simply used stealth from beginning to end.

According to the information he had obtained, the various security and monitoring systems in Academy City were probably more exaggerated and advanced than those in his previous life. Even if he entered as a tourist, there was still a possibility that problems would be discovered.

In this case, he can only endure hardship and work harder.

Anyway, if everything goes well, he probably won't stay in this Academy City for long.

Conan, wearing a luxurious upgraded version of the invisibility cloak, soon arrived at the huge entrance under the silver-white city wall.

This is one of the three land-based entrances and exits. Outside the main gate, you can see many large and small vehicles waiting to enter.

In this summer vacation, most of these vehicles are probably tourist buses carrying passengers.

Conanshan boldly cut in line, he passed the queue and entered the inner gate silently.

When he passed through the main entrance that clearly had a futuristic sci-fi feel, the various inspection measures here had no effect.

Conan-san has more confidence in the invisibility magic item he is using now.

He walked quickly through the checkpoint without stopping, carefully avoiding everyone.

His luxurious upgraded version of the invisibility cloak could still cause physical collisions, and he didn't want the entire investigation to fail because of his carelessness.

Finally, he finally arrived inside Academy City.

Conan-san was not a tourist. He did not waste time admiring the various bizarrely designed skyscrapers around him. Instead, he followed his action plan and walked onto the railway system of the nearby Academy City, continuing to go deeper into the interior of this scientific city.

161 Academy City, Superpowers, and Mutants

Conanshan, sitting on the high-speed train, looked at the bustling city scene outside with a hint of curiosity.

This place can be said to have gathered the power and resources of the entire world. Its level of development is no less than that of any country's capital or metropolis, and in some places it even exceeds that.

"A center for scientific research? It's hard to imagine that this place was a concentration camp for mutants less than half a century ago."

The invisible Conan turned his head, and then looked at a strange-looking woman who was sitting there unwillingly with a bit of impudence.

No one can see him anyway.

This person with a strange appearance should be a female.

This woman, dressed in a modern blue suit, has an extremely special appearance.

She was thin, but her skin was a grayish-yellow stone, like a stone man.

This is the human world, so it is unlikely that fantasy races exist here.

This woman is not in cross-dressing, this should be her original appearance.

"Mutants……"

Women with stone-like skin are so-called mutants.

"Don't sew everything in, you damned savior..."

Sanyi Erba means Sanyi Jiu

Conan couldn't help but think of the somewhat annoying setting collision in this patchwork world.

Before the world line changed, Academy City did exist and was developing super powers.

However, it was a miracle similar to a singularity that was made possible by the explosion of this world's unique technology and research.

However, in the artificially modified time, the birth of Academy City had another reason.

That is, the existence of mutants.

Half a century ago, some strange children were somehow born in the human world, or should I say, on Earth.

Those children's appearance is different from that of ordinary people when they are born, and they also have some special abilities because of this appearance.

For example, a child with horns who can breathe fire.

For example, a child whose skin is as hard as stone.

For example, a child whose body can be made transparent.

These and other strange children appeared one after another after a certain period of time. Although the average number of these strange children was not large, they did exist.

The appearance of these special children cannot be concealed even if the countries around the world want to. The appearance of these children is very unstable and uncontrollable. It is a matter of randomness.

Soon, even without the circulation of the media, the whole world knew about the existence of these strange children.

These children who are born with special abilities and appearances are called mutants because of their different appearances.

Mutants from all over the world were soon gathered together under the laws of the United Nations, and the United Nations chose the Far East as the place to house these mutant children.

There aren't many mutants, and they were gathered together at a very young age and given a proper education, so they haven't caused any major trouble so far.

Although there were still some minor incidents, they were all under control.

Sometimes, in places where mutants gather, there is always some bad news, such as the United Nations is conducting some inhumane human research, or treating mutants cruelly.

This place, which some people ridicule as a mutant concentration camp, is the predecessor of the current academy.

In this world of stitched monsters, mutants are the cause of the birth of people with super powers.

Because of the existence of mutants, human scientists have used mutants to study how to develop human potential, that is, how to make superpowers appear.

There has been some development in human technology, but in this world line, the main reason for the emergence of super powers is due to the existence of mutants.

"Should I say it's okay? The probability of mutants being born in this world is actually not high. You won't see one in a few years. Even if there are children between mutants, they may not be mutants.

Moreover, the mutants here are not very powerful, and there won’t be any who can destroy the world. I just don’t know what the future will be like…”

Mutants are basically never seen in the outside world. Under the power of the United Nations, they can be said to be kept in captivity in Academy City.
