"Who we are is none of your business." Taiyi replied, "Don't pry into other people's backgrounds casually. It's very unsafe."

"Ms. Shimabukuro, you have packed your luggage. Are you planning to leave the island?" Hattori Heiji then asked other questions.

He really didn't want to step into that world of gods and ghosts.

As for the matter of Iwanaga Kotoko driving monsters, he had heard about it from his old father earlier.

Although he wanted to know more because he was young at the time, he gave up the idea after being scared by his old father.

"Well, it's time to leave." Shimabukuro Kimie nodded and replied, "On this island, apart from the tombs of my ancestors, there is nothing worth remembering."

"We still have something to ask you." Edogawa Conan looked up at Shimabukuro Kimie, "It's about the two dead people."

"There are three now." Taichi reminded, "The third body, Naoko Kuroe, has been found."

"Also, we have already figured out the cause of death of the three deceased."

"Cause of death? Death due to organ failure?" Hattori Heiji looked at Taichi and asked.

"Well, the black liquid sprayed by the monster on the sea surface is the cause of the death of the deceased's internal organs." Taiyi nodded and replied, "If you want to verify it, you can go to the beach and fish out a few dead marine creatures on the sea surface and dissect them to draw a conclusion."

"..." Edogawa Conan pressed his temple with a headache on his face.

It was another bizarre development that could not be figured out by reasoning.

"How could the family of the deceased accept such an excuse?" Hattori Heiji murmured helplessly.

"This is already an established fact. No matter how hard it is to accept, we cannot change the reality." Xin Tiao Qian said with a pout.

"Forget it, let's not discuss this for now." Edogawa Conan wiped his glasses with a handkerchief, then looked up at Shimabukuro Kimie, "Can you recommend a hiding place that's hard for even the locals to find?"

"Conan... Conan?" Hattori Heiji looked at Edogawa Conan with confusion.

"Are you worried that the islanders will come to their senses and discover that the three people they imprisoned have disappeared, and will search for you?" Taichi raised his eyebrows and asked Conan Edogawa.

The big-headed child didn't say anything, but just nodded silently.

Having been a detective for so long, the words "human nature is evil" have long been engraved deep in his heart.

According to his experience, if he and his group were found out by the prisoners who imprisoned Xiaolan and others, there was a high probability that they would be killed.

"The area around America Island is now surrounded by a whirlpool, so the rescue ship can't get in. Naturally, we can't get protection and leave here." Edogawa Conan looked at Shimabukuro Kimie and said, "Besides, we have no conflict of interest with you."

"This is the safest place." Iwanaga Kotoko reminded with a wink, "As long as we throw all of you into the same room, and then let the monsters set up a sleight of hand around the room to deceive those people, wouldn't the problem be solved?"

"Huh? Can monsters do this kind of thing?" Conan Edogawa looked at Kotoko Iwanaga with some surprise and asked.

"Oh, that's true." Iwanaga Kotoko spread her hands. "Isn't it that monsters are best at using this kind of method to tease humans?"

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Hattori Heiji did not say anything and directly performed the great ceremony of kneeling down from the ground to Iwanaga Kotoko.

……

"It really can't be seen." Shimabukuro Kimie and Shinjo Akane clapped in surprise as they looked at the empty room.

But in the eyes of Iwanaga Kotoko and Taichi, there were three people lying and two people sitting in the room.

"This is just a sleight of hand, but it's not soundproof. You'd better make them accept the reality as soon as they wake up." Iwanaga Kotoko reminded.

Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan both nodded vigorously.

After bringing Akane Shinjo back to the guest room, Taichi placed the Spark doll of Ultra Beast Lorelei on the ground and showed it to Akane Shinjo.

"Is this the Ultra Beast Lorelei that restrains Aunt Shimabukuro's consciousness?" asked Akane Shinjo while fiddling with the Spark Doll.

"Well, X is now trying to break through the control authority of this super beast." Taiyi nodded and replied, "At least make sure that Aunt Shimabukuro's main consciousness is the main one."

"It's good that it can be done." Xin Tiao Qian said with emotion, "You didn't see it. When the Ultra Beast Lorelei was hit by X's Zanadim Ray and exploded, Jun Huiqin collapsed to the ground and cried silently."

"If Aunt Shimabukuro regains consciousness... then she can go to Kimie-chan and have a dream, so that she can untie all the shackles and look forward to life again."

"Meeting in a dream..." Taiyi scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

[“Taichi! Done!” X’s voice came from the internal meeting room]

Almost at the same time, the spark doll on the ground suddenly flashed, and a tarot card with a fallen person appeared out of thin air above the spark doll's head.

[“I have separated the main control unit of the Ultra Beast Lorelei, which is this tarot card that contains the energy of ‘Cognitive Science’.”]

"Could it be that the Shadow Mage has reached an agreement with the false god Yaldabaoth?" Taiyi grabbed his hair, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He was now afraid that the Shadow Mage would swallow Yaldabaoth.

Xin Tiao Qian also felt a chill on her back.

"Negative energy, the dark subconscious of mankind, the Holy Grail, and the special abilities that the Shadow Mage may have... You won't have to fight a monster on the level of the Ultimate Combined Monster Jiga Chimera again, will you?"

"The Shadow Mage's whereabouts are hard to find, so we can only think of ways to reduce as much of the power that the Shadow Mage might try to obtain as possible." Taiyi tried his best not to think of things as a desperate situation.

"The false god Yaldabaoth can be held hostage by the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. As long as we can follow Amamiya Ren to find a way in and out of the Velvet Room, or force the false god Yaldabaoth to face us head-on, we will have a chance to deal with him."

"What we can deal with right now..." Taiyi looked at the Ultra Beast Doll on the ground, "Yequan... I'm afraid we have to find out if there is a sunrise in this world."

"The power of the underworld cannot be controlled by the Shadow Mage again."

Chapter 27 The Hanged Man never has a good ending.

Axel went to make a new program for Akane Shinjo's phone to control the Spark Doll, while Taichi was holding the "Hanged Man" tarot card and checking it over and over again.

Logically speaking, since Aix said that this Tarot card contains the energy of "cognitive learning", then if this energy is drawn out, it should add new strength to myself.

So now Mordred and Minamoto no Raikou are racking their brains, looking for a way to draw this energy.

["Why not try to send this tarot card to the 'Inner Mind Meeting'? Maybe the tarot card can be transformed directly after it comes in." Mordred suggested.]

"I tried, but there's no way to get it in." Taiyi replied, "This tarot card has a physical carrier, and it can't get into the brain meeting that only consciousness can exist in."

[“Then why don’t you try to materialize the weapons of Lord Mordred and me, and then try to use the magic energy to attract the ‘cognitive science’ energy in the tarot cards.” Minamoto no Raikou also made a suggestion.]

Taiyi thought it made sense and decided to give it a try.

Minamoto no Raikou Vajra, loaded!

In order to prevent the floor from being pierced, Taiyi's legs were shaking as he held the heavy vajra with both hands.

"How heavy is this thing?"

[“I’m not sure, but when I was carrying it, the weight seemed okay.” Minamoto no Raikou asked with some confusion.

"Idiot! Although the origin of Taiyi's body is somewhat unexplainable, there is a limit to the weight he can carry without being tempered." Mordred reminded, "According to my understanding, the maximum weight he can carry with his hands is less than 200 kilograms."

"Master, you need to exercise your body more." Minamoto no Raikou sighed, "With such a weak body, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight well."]

"I will try harder." Taiyi also felt that it was time to put the plan of strengthening his body on the agenda as soon as possible.

He needs to improve his physical load and physical endurance.

The terrible enemy has already revealed his true colors. There is no time to let him grow slowly.

Taiyi slowly put the vajra down. In order to avoid any trouble, he decided not to touch the Tarot cards with the vajra, but to touch the vajra with the Tarot cards.

...No, this is the method we should use, right?

Why did I suddenly have the idea of using a vajra to poke the Tarot cards?

Taichi thought that it was because when he was watching Cardcaptor, a certain magical girl always used her magic wand to smash the cards.

"… Raikou, do you have any unusual feelings?" Taichi placed the tarot cards on the vajra, constantly trying to touch various parts of the vajra with the tarot cards, and asked.

[“Master, please don’t move around. Put the tarot cards on the vajra and let go.” Minamoto no Raikou reminded, “It will affect the induction connection if you open and close it.”]

Taiyi’s main point is to listen to advice.

In order to have complete materials, he even placed the tips of three fingers on the Tarot cards.

Five seconds later, a faint light emerged from the Tarot cards.

[“Master, I sensed it. I will draw out the energy in the tarot card right now!” Minamoto no Raikou’s voice sounded a little surprised.]

The Hanged Man card symbolizes self-sacrifice and dedication.

【I heard your call. 】

A faint sound suddenly rang in my ears.

【I am you, and you are me. 】

[Please call my name, my name is...]

"Joan of Arc..."

After all, the environment is not an impression space, so even if Taiyi hears the voice, the mask will not materialize just by calling the other person's name.

But he still heard the name clearly.

[“OUI (Yes), Jeanne d'Arc. You can also just call me Jeanne d'Arc.” Jeanne d'Arc responded in the mental meeting with Sakamoto’s voice.

"...What's going on? Why does this Lady Joan of Arc have a face that is extremely similar to my father's?" Mordred was a little confused in his mental meeting. "She looks like my father who has grown up a few years later...but she has a very gentle feeling, which is completely different from my father's eyes that seemed to be piercing people all the time."]

Taiyi just pretended not to hear.

It’s all the painter’s fault.

The player said he knew nothing.

[“Master, although my consciousness has just arrived, the impression left in the tarot cards has been well inherited.” Jeanne said, “I have seen the birth of the giant beast named Ultra Beast Lorelei, and the process of being defeated by you and your companions.”

"Although my strength may be insignificant in front of that giant beast, as long as you need it, my flag will always be raised for you!"]

It seems that the process went smoothly.

Taiyi looked at the vajra, and the tarot card turned into particles and dissipated into the air after Jeanne appeared.

This gave Taiyi the illusion that he didn't know whether the enemy was here to kill him or to strengthen himself.

"Then I'll leave my personal safety to you."

[“Wait! Taichi, are you sure you don’t want to add a ‘we’ at the end?” Mordred complained. “I understand that you want to get along well with the newcomer, but it’s too much to ignore me and Raikou all of a sudden!”

"Your Highness Mordred, please don't embarrass the Master too much. I will be satisfied as long as I can serve as the sharp blade in the Master's hand and clear away all obstacles for him." Minamoto no Raikou said meaningfully.]

"I'm sorry, there were some problems with my wording just now." Taiyi scratched his cheek and said awkwardly, "Mordred, Raikou, Jeanne, I hope you can give me advice in the future. Of course, I will tell X again after this."

[“Haha, sorry.” Mordred suddenly laughed wildly. “Where did you come from, you middle school student? You were so embarrassed that you wanted to bury your head in the quilt after saying a few cool lines?”

"Ahem, Mordred-san, please don't be too harsh on the Master." Jeanne's voice sounded like she was trying to hold back a laugh.

"Yes, Master, Raikou is the sword in your hand, please use it freely without hesitation!" Minamoto Raikou's voice was a little vague for some reason, but her response was the most serious among the three.]

[“Can I say that although I’m working on Shinjo’s phone, I’m actually also allocating some of my computing power to keep an eye on this?” Aix’s voice followed closely, “Jeanne, hello, I’m Aix, and as your companion, I hope you can give me your guidance in the future!”

"BON!"]

Chapter 28: Gao Juan Xing's Opportunity Has Not Yet Arrived

A gap appeared in the vortex group.

This was done by Kotoko Iwanaga who ordered the monsters living in the sea to unite and create this.

It’s not big, but it still cost these monsters their lives.

After all, a whirlpool is something that can affect the entire body. If you are not careful and get sucked into it, your fate is unknown.

Although the gap is not big, it is still no problem for the rescue ship to enter.

It's just that we can only pass one ship at a time, so the progress seems a bit slow.

But now Hattori Heiji can rest assured.

These rescue ships were called by his father using his special privileges, so his father must have been involved as well.

With such a strong backing, he naturally no longer has to worry about those bastards with ulterior motives on the island attacking them.

However, when Hattori Heizo arrived after receiving his call, there were only five of them left in the Shimabukuro family.

Whether it was Shimabukuro Kimie, Iwanaga Kotoko, Naruto Taichi, or Shinjo Akane, their figures had all disappeared.

At this time, Taichi and others had already returned to Honshu in the speedboat rented by Iwanaga Kotoko.

The Ix is fully autonomous and doesn't even require a human driver.

Hearing that this matter not only involved monsters and Ultraman, but even the 'God of Wisdom' that everyone in the circle avoided was involved, Hattori Heizo said without hesitation, 'No matter who asks, just keep your mouth shut.'

Hattori Heiji, who was full of questions, almost went berserk.
