Pretending to Be a Good Person in the World of Conan

Hearing his words, Die Die let out an interesting "Oh?" and stood up.

As she pushed open the small waist-high door on the side and came out from behind the counter, the modern dress on her body slowly faded and changed.

——When she was standing beside Baishi, she had already changed into a black dress with copper buttons, put on leggings, and a long knife hanging from her waist, with feathers like butterfly scales hanging down naturally.

Butterfly pointed at her chin with one finger, and looked at the candle with a smile: "The dead...does it mean the soul, or the ghost?"

"I don't know either, that's why I wanted to try." Baishi was inexplicably shuddered by her laughter, and added, "The summoned ones may not necessarily be dangerous creatures."

"'Not necessarily'...that's possible." Butterfly endured a widened smile, and his pupils gradually became darker:

"Don't worry, I'm a professional ghost slayer. Even if you can't beat me, I will buy you time to escape~"

After a pause, she moved her eyes away from the candle, looked at Baishi and smiled again: "So when the time comes, don't be so frightened that you can't run on the ground."

"...Don't worry, I'm also a professional runner." Baishi was quite confident at first, but when she said this, the hand that pressed the lighter hesitated a bit.

But after thinking about it, the last time he drew Akai Shuichi's summoning talisman, the system had reminded him that the summoned would act according to their own wishes.Then this time it shouldn't be too deceitful.

Thinking of this, Shiraishi pressed the lighter.

Before he could bring the flame closer to the wick, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed his wrist.

"Why don't I order some." Butterfly tried to make up for the future, "Such a short distance, if you are really unfortunate enough to summon a ghost, you may be gone in one bite."

"It's reasonable, a ghost who can swallow me in one bite, it will only be easier to eat you, your size... eh, take it easy."

The clerk looked Xiaoqiao, but he was indeed much stronger than him. Grasping his wrist was no more difficult than grasping pickled pepper and chicken feet, and he successfully pulled the lighter out of Baishi's hand.

...Wait, why did he say sure enough?

"It's better for you to stay away." Butterfly endured and drove Shiraishi to the window, then she pulled out the knife at her waist with a swipe, held it in one hand, and changed the lighter to her non-dominant hand.

Shiraishi looked at the clerk a few meters away.

Originally, he thought that he would make a big fuss when he had to find someone to guard every candle, but he didn't expect that Butterfly Ninja's reaction was bigger than him.

It is really rare for Baishi to meet a wise man who is more afraid of death than himself... Well, he is more far-sighted, cautious, and far-sighted than himself.

While thinking about it, he reviewed the order of using the props.

Although the clerk was very loyal and willing to let him run first, but he couldn't really just run away.

In case something happens, you have to throw a few props to help, if it's useless... then play it by ear.

The shop echoed with the sound of Butterfly holding back the lighter and pressing it on. Soon, Shiraishi saw her leaning the flame to the candle wick.

However, the two waited for a long time, but they didn't see anything that could match the "dead".

... Or has the soul been summoned, but I just can't see it?

Just as he was thinking, Bai Shi saw Die Die Ren turned around, held up the lighter, and spread his hands at him helplessly: "It doesn't light."

Chapter 54

"The lighter is broken?" Baishi approached suspiciously to check.

Only then did I know that the lighter was fine.

But no matter how long the flame it spit out burns on the wick, once it is removed, the candle is still an unlit candle, and the surrounding wax oil has not even melted at all.

...Is there some protection mechanism that only he can use?

"I'll try." Shiraishi took the lighter from Butterfly Ninja and leaned over to light it himself.

1 minute passed, 2 minutes passed...

Shiraishi threw away the hot lighter, shook his hand, and grabbed the candlestick: "This is camouflaged by painted ceramics."

But no matter how you touch it, it feels like wax...

Until he reached out and picked up the candle wick in doubt.

In the next moment, a light screen popped up suddenly, and the backpack interface and currency interface were displayed on the screen.

In the backpack, the grid where [[N] Memory Shards] is located is glowing slightly.

And the currency interface, the line where [Crystal] is located, also responded in the same way.

Bai Shi was silent for a moment at this overly obvious hint, and understood.

… No wonder after the novice period, he was given back this kind of non-consumable item, which can transcend life and death, and which is almost a bit of a bug—it turned out that he had to throw fuel into it.

Now there is only one piece of crystallization, one piece of memory fragments, I can't afford to try it...

Shiraishi sighed and put away the candle again.

Die Die endured watching his movements, quite puzzled: "Stop ordering?"

"No." Baishi looked troubled, "Fuel is a bit expensive."

Butterfly nodded understandingly, put away the long knife, and walked back behind the counter stretched lazily.

It was still early, Shiraishi thought about it after returning home, and felt that he should go to school first, and get back the envelope that contained the details of the event that Ayako Suzuki said.
