Chapter 216 The King
Chapter 216 The King
How did things turn out like this?
The Kudo couple didn't even say a few words throughout the whole process, and didn't even bother to defend themselves or Shinichi.
The Maori family left after saying that, and everyone was immersed in complicated emotions and did not stop them.
Or perhaps they dare not stop it.
Before leaving, Kogoro Mouri glanced at everyone with a complicated expression.
He wanted to say something, but in the end, he fell silent. Then he left without looking back.
"How could this happen... How could this happen..." Dr. Agasa was immersed in his own world and unable to extricate himself. Regret almost overwhelmed him.
Haibara Ai, who always cared about him first, also fell into panic. She kept speculating about the relationship between the Mori family and the Black Organization and was almost in despair.
The Kudo couple forced themselves to comfort Dr. Agasa and the two children. They believed that as their long-time friends, the Mori family would not be so heartless.
But the next day, Dr. Agasa, Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara were taken away by a mysterious special task force.
The Kudo couple wanted to find the Mori family, but found that the Mori Detective Agency had long been deserted.
Thanks to Toru Amuro's connections, they only knew that this task force was independent of the police system, affiliated with the Fourth Branch of the Household Registration Division of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau, and had the highest authority.
For a time, the Kudo couple was in a state of panic.
But the Maori family had moved away long ago.
Mao Lilan became more determined in her dream after talking with Suzuki Sonoko and Pansy.
——She wants to be a musician and perform in the spotlight.
With the help of friends, the family came to the UK. Pansy finally remembered the identity Ian arranged for her and helped the Maori family settle down.
"What is this Fourth Branch of the Household Registration Section of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Pansy, who ended the communication with Mao Lilan contentedly, felt that the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember it.
He said he forgot something. Draco suddenly realized what it was, and he looked at Harry and Hermione, who obviously also remembered what it was, and they looked a little embarrassed.
Forgot about the two centenarians!
"The Fourth Branch of the Household Registration Section of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau is also known as Scepter 4. Perhaps you will remember it if we call it another way. The Blue Clan." Hermione reminded Pansy who was deep in thought.
"Principal Dumbledore!" Pansy finally reacted. Oh, she was so engrossed in enjoying the melon that she forgot about her own principal and Grindelwald.
It was as if they had subconsciously forgotten that there were two other people also working hard to change the world line.
"Thank you for still remembering us two old people." A sarcastic tone came from Harry's phone.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that it came from Harry's cell phone.
This voice... Grindelwald?
Harry and the others looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. "I just saw the numbers of Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Grindelwald on my phone, so I called them."
He didn't expect the call to go through.
"So I have one too, but when I called you just now, the service area was out, and I haven't called since." Pansy took out her cell phone and looked at it. Everyone's contact information was there.
This phone was given to them by Ian in this world. It must be his masterpiece.
"Teacher, where are you and the headmaster now?" Draco leaned against Harry with a smile and spoke into the phone.
"I thought you were so busy with your affairs that you didn't want to leave." Grindelwald has been waiting for calls from those little guys these days.
He and Al had a sense of it when the world fusion began.
No, not even a single message.
The Golden King and the others have gained a lot of memories, but there is still no news.
He used the Non-Time Court under the Golden King to investigate.
Okay, a creation of books? A being beyond the Beyond? Live nationwide? What was Draco doing?
And Karasuma Renye is actually close to Draco?
Only sporadic information could be found, at least they couldn't be found anywhere in the Non-Time Courtyard.
Grindelwald could only wait for them to contact him.
However, all he got were various pieces of news, such as Kuroba Kaito was Kaito Kidd, which Grindelwald and Dumbledore had already known.
The Mori family also called the police to arrest Professor Agasa and Conan Edogawa.
Grindelwald knew after a moment's thought that Pansy and the others must have been involved.
He asked the Blue King to transfer the case to the Fourth Branch of the Household Registration Section of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau.
The kid was smart and didn't ask any questions.
Grindelwald was already certain that Draco and the others had completely forgotten about him and Dumbledore.
Knowing that Mao Lilan must have some connection with Pansy and the others, he deliberately asked Scepter4 to leak the news.
Sure enough, Draco and the others contacted him after knowing the news.
What? He could also take the initiative to contact Draco and the others?
He is a teacher after all, doesn't he have any face?
"I'm just afraid of disturbing the time you and the principal are having together." Pansy came over and joked with a playful smile.
"Hmph, I'm in the Royal Tower. When you come, bring the crow and your clever little friend with you. The King of Gold wants to see him." Grindelwald snorted coldly and hung up the phone.
"The Yuzhu Tower is in...?" Pansy stared at the hung up phone. What? She hadn't even asked how to get there!
She knows the King of Gold, but can she enter that place casually?
"Don't worry, I think Mr. Grindelwald has arranged everything." Hermione comforted Pansy.
"It's my honor to receive the invitation from the King of Gold." Since Karasuma Renya is not from this world, he is not very clear about what the world will look like after it merges.
He asked Draco and smiled carefreely. He probably thought the Golden King was looking for him because of the Raven Legion.
The Crow Legion is the Black Organization. Pansy only learned this name after asking.
But she thought it would be better to call them the Black Organization.
Draco, Harry, Pansy, Hermione, Edogawa Ranpo and Karasuma Renya were sent to the Imperial Pillar Tower by Gin.
Thanks to Gin and Edogawa Ranpo for their sudden extra memories, otherwise they would have to search all over the map.
No, the only people who should be thanked are Gin and Ranpo...those who understand will understand.
Gin's car was parked not far away. Karasuma Renya originally wanted to take him with him, but Gin was unwilling.
It was really torture for him to go into that kind of place.
As soon as I got off the car, someone wearing a rabbit mask was waiting there.
He bowed respectfully to Draco and the others. "The Emperor is waiting for you."
They followed the rabbit into a large, frightening drawing room.
There are a lot of people sitting inside.
Grindelwald and Dumbledore on the left were being affectionate with each other, as if they didn't see them at all.
On the other side were four kings. Based on the anime, they easily recognized several people.
The serious and majestic one must be Changlu Dajue from the Golden Kingdom. After all, he is the only one who looks relatively... old.
The silver-haired beauty must be the Silver King Adolf K. Weitzman, who was looking at them with a smile.
The one who looked impatient and fierce but was actually in a daze, with red hair and two whiskers was the Red King Suohon.
The dark blue haired, sinister guy wearing goofy glasses must be the Blue King Reiji Munakata.
"Well, they are the same as Lord Ranpo." Edogawa Ranpo looked at everyone fearlessly, and then whispered to Draco in a voice that everyone could hear.
No, if Edogawa Ranpo guessed it based on his own ability, the King and the others should have relied on external forces.
Draco glanced at the Golden King and the others, and immediately understood what was going on.
He performed the elegant etiquette of aristocrats, polite but not fawning. "Nice to meet you."
The same goes for Harry, Pansy and the others. After all, Karasuma Renya has lived for a long time and has all the necessary etiquette.
Edogawa Ranpo nodded politely, without any special reaction to the several royal figures present.
Grindelwald, who had been paying attention to this place, had admiration in his eyes.
He pretended to have just seen Draco and the others and said, "Ah, you're here."
He pointed to the side, motioning Draco and the others to sit down, interrupting the atmosphere that the four kings had deliberately created.
A smile flashed across the eyes of the Silver King, and he glanced teasingly at the somewhat embarrassed Gold King.
The lieutenant wanted to give the other person a warning, but he didn't expect that the other person would not react at all, right?
It's not like he hasn't suffered at the hands of Dumbledore and Grindelwald before, so why would he think their students are easy to control?
He also felt that the boy with platinum hair was the center of their group and should not be provoked.
Weisman knew that the stone slab was a reminder to him.
After both parties took their seats, they introduced themselves to each other.
"I've always heard Mr. Dumbledore and Mr. Grindelwald talk about their students. Seeing them today, they are indeed extraordinary."
The King of Gold quickly adjusted his attitude and greeted as if nothing had happened.
There was a scrutiny in his eyes, and after scanning around, he landed on Draco.
This kid... In his memory, the battle in Yokohama even frightened him.
He admired this group of people who suddenly appeared, but he was more wary of them.
Even if they didn't do anything detrimental to the country, their strength and untraceable identities alone were enough to make him suspicious.
"Tsk." Zhou Fangzun sneered, and it was unclear whether he was laughing at the old man's insincere words or something else.
"Souho." Munakata Reiji pushed up his glasses, a hint of warning in his tone. "Don't be disrespectful in front of the Emperor."
Or maybe it would be better to describe it as a reminder.
Draco, reading other meanings from such a simple sentence, looked at Suho Takashi and Munakata Reiji thoughtfully.
"Hey, kid. I owe you a favor." Suohonori looked straight at Draco.
Anna said that everything changed because of the existence of platinum.
Before leaving today, Anna pulled at his clothes and told him that he would meet this person.
Is this the little devil?
He did not doubt Anna's words, so even after thanking Grindelwald and Dumbledore for saving Ten Bundles of Todoroki, he still solemnly thanked Draco as well.
Well, that's the way he talks.
Draco nodded without surprise and accepted Zhou Fangzun's thanks calmly.
Is that Anna Kushina? The girl who can communicate with stone tablets.
Reiji Munakata looked at Suohama and Draco in surprise, with some guesses in his mind.
"I wonder what the King of Gold wants to talk to me about?" Uramaru Renye said happily.
The scene is just a bit weird. After all, a young man who looks to be in his thirties calls himself an old man... It's hard not to suspect that Karasuma Renya didn't do it on purpose.
"I think you should have some guesses in your mind." The Golden King looked at Karasuma Renya with sharp eyes.
Unstable factor. After gaining extra memories, he became somewhat wary of Karasuma Renya.
The behemoth lurking in the darkness of this country may not be able to be eradicated even if the Fei Shiyuan and Scepter 4 work together at full strength.
Compared to the psychics who fight alone, this kind of organization deeply embedded among ordinary people makes him more wary.
There are instruments that can detect when people with special abilities commit crimes, but this is not the case for ordinary people, especially those who are proficient in high technology and can disguise themselves.
Although both of them were smiling, there seemed to be sparks in the air and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
While the Golden King and Karasuma Renya were arguing with each other, Wiseman slipped over to Edogawa Ranpo and watched curiously as he ate the dessert bite by bite.
"Senmosi?" Ranpo asked incoherently.
Weisman looked at Edogawa Ranpo curiously, "Do you feel that there is something different about yourself?"
He pointed his hand into the void, "For example, there is a force of energy in the body?"
You can't blame the Golden King for being wary of Draco and the others.
As we all know, a king can only be killed by a king, but the Colorless King was burned alive by Grindelwald in front of many royal witnesses.
Logically, a new Colorless King would be born soon after the death of the Colorless King, but for some reason the new Colorless King has not appeared yet.
It was not until the worlds merged that the stone slab began to give faint guidance.
Edogawa Ranpo of the Armed Detective Agency.
Is this the new Colorless King?
Wiseman could feel that Edogawa Ranpo had a pure heart, and it seemed that he was not the evil king like the previous one.
Several royal officials who had already obtained information about Edogawa Ranpo still wanted to meet Edogawa Ranpo for final confirmation.
"Oh, you mean that strange big sword?" Edogawa Ranpo finally swallowed what he had in his mouth. He knew what Wiseman was referring to without thinking.
"Can I not be the king?" Edogawa Ranpo curled his lips in disgust.
"Ah?" Weizman was stunned. He didn't expect that there were people who disliked the royal power.
Reiji Munakata also cast a concerned look.
As for Suohon, he fell into sage time after saying that.
In other words, I was in a daze again.
"It's really strange to have a sword on your head. It's not a useful thing." Edogawa Ranpo said as a matter of course.
"But, but that's the Sword of Damocles, a symbol of status! And...and..." As Weisman spoke, he suddenly felt that what Edogawa Ranpo said made sense.
The sword is just hanging there, and it can't be used...
No, no, no! How could he have been led astray? Being a king actually has many advantages!
Circling in the sky, living alone for more than half a century, the Silver King was speechless.
Faintly, Draco seemed to hear small sobs and wild laughter.
