Conan's Unscientific Detective

It seems to be true.

Could it be that what he said was true, but his thoughts were impure?

Am I impure?

Koizumi Hongzi's eyes were a little dazed and she fell into deep thought.

"Ok?"

Seeing Koizumi Hongzi's expression, Fujino touched his chin and said with a strange expression: "So what on earth did you think of... Could it be..."

"Ahem! Uuhahaha!"

Koizumi Hongzi was deep in thought for a while, then she coughed lightly, covered her mouth and let out a shrill laugh, revealing a smug look as if her thoughts were seen through by you: "Originally, I didn't intend to let you know, but since you have seen through it, I will tell you the truth, Son of Moonlight, I specially cleaned up the room to welcome your arrival, you must be secretly happy in your heart!"

Fujino: "..."

So this witch really cleaned up the room.

Do you have to clean up your room just to meet someone?

She is a middle school girl with second-year syndrome.

He was silent for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Speaking of which, your villa is so big, there should be a living room, right?"

"Yes, I have."

"Then why don't you go wait in the living room?"

Fujino asked suspiciously, "So why did you bring me to your boudoir?"

Koizumi Hongzi: "Ah, this..."

"By the way, I remember you were supposed to be able to do magic."

Fujino continued to ask, lowering his chin: "Don't you have any spells in your magic that can quickly clear a room?"

Koizumi Hongzi fell into deep thought.

Yup!

Why don't we just go to the living room? And we can use magic to clean the room...

Why didn't she think of this?

Koizumi Hongzi felt a little embarrassed, and then continued seriously: "Not all problems need to be solved by magic, sometimes you have to do it yourself, and as the only one of your kind, I think it would be more appropriate to receive you in my room, not in the living room!"

"Is that so?"

Fujino pursed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

What do you mean the only one of his kind? It should be the only guest, right?

He didn't know whether Koizumi Akako had other friends. The only ones known now were Kuroba Kaito, Nakamori Aoko, and other Ekota classmates.

I don’t know if they have a good relationship, but it’s definitely not to the extent of coming to my house.

As a witch, Koizumi Hongzi must have been a loner since childhood and had no friends.

It is just like a child who, upon knowing that his friend is coming to his house to play for the first time, excitedly spends half a day tidying up his room so that his friend can show it off.

The same is probably true for Koizumi Akako.

To be honest, as a witch, Koizumi Akako's life is quite tiring.

Although he pretended to be calm with an arrogant look, his embarrassment was clearly revealed.

But as a witch, there are some things I probably have no choice about.

…………

Koizumi Akako's bedroom is decorated in red and black tones. The bed has a retro European style, and so does the furniture.

Sitting in front of a sofa next to a desk, Koizumi Hongzi looked at Fujino who was sitting opposite her with a face full of resentment.

She finally realized that this guy was teasing her again.

How abominable! He is actually playing tricks on her, a witch who inherited the orthodox red magic!

She took a deep breath, her chest heaving, and finally calmed down. She asked helplessly: "So, what do you want to tell me?"

Fujino took out a teacup and some black tea from his personal space and placed them on the small mahogany desk and coffee table in front of him: "It's about the two of us."

"About the two of us?"

"Yes, I just discovered it recently."

"What's up?!"

Koizumi Hongzi picked up the black tea and took a sip, looking at Fujino's meaningful and serious expression with anticipation.

So, so, this is a confession?

She had seen this kind of scene on TV!

So, it is true that the witch, Lady Koizumi Akako, is someone who can make all men fall at her feet!

"The Vatican, the Knights Templar."

Fujino said in a deep voice: "I found that the so-called Vatican and the Assassin's Organization have not yet perished. Even the Knights Templar to which the Vatican belongs has basically taken control of the world now."

"what?"

Koizumi Hongzi was stunned, caught off guard by the gap between her imagination and reality.

However, she quickly came to her senses and began to think about the value of Fujino's words.

Fujino combined his own memories and gave a simple explanation to Koizumi Akako.

Koizumi Hongzi listened for a while and immediately understood the meaning. Then she looked at Fujino and her face became serious: "You mean, the Vatican recorded by our Red Magic is actually the Knights Templar, and the witch hunting was planned by the Knights Templar?"

"These are all my guesses. I have also awakened some of the assassin's memories, and I was attacked by Ambostera Industries. That's why I know these through reasoning."

Fujino did not confirm, but just squeezed out the memory bloodline inheritance and explained: "I just made some inferences based on the existing information. For details, you should check the records of your red magicians. After all, compared to a half-baked person like me, you red magicians should know more."

"In fact, our Red Magic Society hasn't been doing very well over the years."

Koizumi Hongzi shook her head slightly: "I don't know too many things. There are very few records about the Vatican in the Red Magic inheritance."

"After coming to Neon, although we retained our branch, we did not carry out any overly ostentatious actions... Some secret investigations were also conducted in secret."

"And it is said that after we came to Japan from Europe, we lost a lot of information. The Knights Templar you mentioned were recorded as the Vatican. It may be because the Vatican is the power of the Knights Templar."

Koizumi Hongzi said, pulling her chin together: "In my generation, we red mages have a rule that we cannot use magic in public. This rule is not a hard and fast requirement, but it must be followed..."

"If combined with your speculation, then this is not only to prevent the world from knowing the existence of magic, but also to prevent my identity from being exposed and to avoid being targeted by the Knights Templar."

"After all, if it is really as you said, if the Knights Templar have developed to this extent, once someone notices the existence of magic and exposes it, then with the current level of information development, they will probably be able to detect it immediately."

"They hunted witches so long ago, and now they will definitely hunt me, the remaining witch."

(End of this chapter)

762. Chapter 759 Neon is sinking, is this true?

Chapter 759 Neon is sinking, are you serious?

"Haven't you investigated this in all these years?"

Fujino glanced at Koizumi Hongzi suspiciously: "With your abilities, it should be easy to find out these things, right? And if they hunt you, won't you resist?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do anything."

Koizumi Hongzi sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes: "In Europe hundreds of years ago, there were many schools of magic besides our Red Magic... We made friends with some big shots and used magic to help them and the local people. For a period of time, we prevented wizards, witches, and wizards from being slaughtered as heretics. We each supported and controlled our own forces, so naturally we didn't have the same opinions."

"However, at the same time, Europe also experienced an unprecedented natural disaster, the Black Death, and various wars and plagues, and witches and wizards were considered the source of these disasters... For their own benefit, the Church used this to instigate the people and the authorities to massacre us. No one, whether ordinary people or witches, escaped."

"When the Holy See's purge came, we were still arguing with each other. In the end, most of the witches and wizards were slaughtered. The remaining people fled Europe and went to various countries. As a result, our Red Magic lineage came to Neon..."

At this point, Koizumi Hongzi's face became serious for a moment, and she put on her witch's airs again, saying seriously: "Compared to revenge against the Church, letting the Red Magic continue to be passed down is what the legitimate successor of the Red Magic should do."

"Oh, I get it."

Fujino understood immediately.

Perhaps it was the psychological trauma caused by the witch being slaughtered.

As a proud (tsundere) witch, she certainly wouldn't say that she was afraid.

What is fear?

This is called preserving the bloodline of red magic!

…………

Fujino chatted with Koizumi Akako for a while.

I found that she didn't know as much about the Knights Templar as I did...

Is this reasonable?

That makes sense.

Rebellion may lead to the extinction of inheritance, which is unacceptable. Instead of fighting to the death and risking the extinction of the bloodline, it is better to lie low and develop quietly.

Therefore, the Red Magic lineage has been passed down to this day.

It's just that the Red Magic family is not very populous, and it is almost impossible for them to give birth to offspring. Even giving birth takes longer than normal people, so today only Koizumi Hongzi is left.

Under the subtle influence of this idea, Koizumi Akako also became a low-life.

After all, if she died, red magic would be completely extinct.

So even though she was usually extremely arrogant, and even dared to use a magic circle to put on a witch's COS costume to attack Kidd, she didn't dare to touch on what happened back then at all.

Although he knew that Hongzi was afraid, Fujino still felt a little speechless:

"So if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't even know that Ambostera Industries is a vest of the Knights Templar?"

"Of course. After all, I didn't take the initiative to touch their territory, so how could I know?"

Koizumi Hongzi took it for granted. Seeing Fujino looking at her in confusion, she immediately explained, "Everything in this world has a 'domain'. Once involved in a domain, it will actively attract the domain's approach. The deeper the domain is involved, the more things you will naturally understand."

Then, she gave another example: "For example, if I had never paid attention to you, then I would naturally not know you. Since I had never known you, we would not be sitting here talking about this today."

At this point, Koizumi Hongzi folded her hands under her chest, puffed out her chest, and said confidently: "Similarly, as long as I don't set foot in their territory, then they can't find me."

Well, once I accept my own weakness, I am invincible!

Fujino looked at Koizumi Hongzi's "Sakura" look, and a voice echoed in his mind: "Something happened to the kidney..."

Fujino felt a little confused. He took a deep breath and asked, "As long as it doesn't involve cause and effect, there will be no results or anything like that... How is this thing you're talking about the same as the law of cause and effect?"

"You can say that."

Koizumi Hongzi pinched her chin and said, "But some things cannot be avoided by not getting involved. Even if there is no cause involved, there will be consequences due to various things, just like fate."

As she spoke, there was a hint of helplessness in her tone: "This is what I discovered when I was fortune-telling. I also found it in the records. I can see what will happen in the future through fortune-telling and make changes, but not everything can be changed... Even if I make changes, those things will always happen again through various coincidences."

Fujino felt that what Koizumi Hongzi said was very familiar: "Are you talking about the theory of "Convergence of World Lines"? "

Koizumi Hongzi looked over in confusion: "The convergence of the world line?"

Fujino nodded, dipped his head in the tea, and drew three lines on the coffee table in front of him: "Suppose our world is a line, this line is divided into the original line, the ongoing line, and the future line."

"In theory, anything can cause the future line to change, but the line is fixed at a certain node, just like a rubber band. If you force the lines together, even if the future line changes, it will be pulled back by the rubber band."

Fujino also gave an example: "I wanted to kill someone last night. He had a high weight in the future line. When I was about to kill him, the world line triggered a repair mechanism, which interfered with the current line in a coincidental way."

As the legitimate heir of the Red Magic, a chuunibyou, and a pure-blooded witch, Koizumi Akako immediately understood the theory of "the convergence of world lines."

She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and followed Fujino's train of thought: "And the result of the repair is that the person can't die no matter what, right?"

"Yes, it's as if everything is the choice of Steins;Gate."

Fujino found it easy to talk to a like-minded Chuunibyou witch.

It's easy to understand what he said...

But he is not a chuunibyou.

Koizumi Hongzi bit her little finger, her eyes full of thoughts. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly said, "If that's the case, Fujino, I suggest you don't kill that person."

"why?"

"The world line convergence you mentioned may be the rule by which this world operates. Changing the rules of the world line is in itself destroying the world."
