Bandage fine tricks

Xiao Ba was still dazed until he returned home with the scratching post in his arms.

"Although the Dresden stone plate looks like it is now, it is probably placed under the eyes of the king, and people can't recognize it... But, take it out of the heavily guarded imperial pillar tower and put it in my house? Xiaobai, what the hell are you doing?" Thinking about it!" Back home, the black-haired girl with different pupils returned to her human form and poked Xiaobai's forehead, "Didn't you say that this Dresden stone plate is the reason why superpowers appear all over the world! In order to prevent the world from falling into The super power is in chaos, so the King of Gold has been suppressing its activities for decades to prevent the super power that appears from being too powerful, so what is the purpose of taking it away from the King of Gold now? There is no King of Gold Wang's suppression, the Dresden stone plate became active, everyone's abilities went berserk, and the society fell into turmoil, who will be responsible? Idiot brother, use your brain!!!"

"That, that... Xiaoba, please be gentle, it hurts..." The white-haired boy screamed on purpose, trying to win sympathy-after these few days, Xiaobai has already figured out that Xiaoba will usually return to the cat. There is Xiao Hei who calls him "Xiao Bai", but when he is angry, he is "Stupid Brother".

In a way, it is a good way to judge Xiaoba's mood value.

Xiao Ba poked it a few more times bitterly. Seeing the boy's forehead flushed, she withdrew her finger and said coldly: "Explain! Otherwise, I'll throw you out to sleep in the yard with this cat nest!"

She pointed at the big cat litter that those "rabbits" had given for some unknown purpose when they left the Imperial Pillar Tower just now, her words were threatening.

This is really a great threat... Xiaobai sat obediently and sat upright: "Has Xiaoba sensed the power emanating from this Dresden stone plate?"

...Is there such a thing?

Xiao Ba looked at the stone plate that was still being scratched just now, trying to remember, and vaguely remembered: It seems that when she just walked into the big room where the King of Gold met them, she seemed to feel What kind of power is looming...could it be the power of that stone slab?

but now……

Xiao Ba looked at the white-haired boy suspiciously: "I don't feel any power right now."

"Yes, the power of the stone slab is so low that even the king can't sense it-this is something that the lieutenant has never encountered since he sealed the Dresden stone disk for 70 years. Even if the activity is reduced to the minimum, it can still be perceived by the king, but now, we can't perceive it." Xiaobai touched the Dresden stone plate placed in the cat's nest, and said, "If it wasn't for us all the way Seeing it has been transferred from the lieutenant's room to here, I am afraid that it will be regarded as an ordinary slate."

Xiao Ba was taken aback, and imitating the method told by the white-haired boy, tried to perceive, and found that even at a very close distance, it was difficult to feel the energy fluctuations of the stone slab. This change made her puzzled: "Why is it like this?"

"This...the reason is not clear yet, but..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek embarrassingly, "When I was in the Yuzhu Pagoda, its energy fluctuations were not so low. When you use it to grind your claws At that time, its energy fluctuations fell all the way to the current level..."

"……………………"

Xiao Ba looked down at her nails in disbelief. They were round, smooth and cute, but as soon as she thought about them, they immediately turned into sharp claws. These are the claws of a cat, and she can freely choose to make them Whether the fingernails or even any part of the body shows the state of a human body or a cat body like this.

What's wrong with this claw? !

Or, is this stone plate a good spirit who won't die and be beaten?

"In addition, when the power of the Dresden stone plate exploded in the Imperial Pillar Tower, the lieutenant and I suppressed it, but in this state, I can do it alone." Xiaobai touched Touching the slate, he said softly, "Originally... this should be my responsibility, but I left it behind and let the lieutenant replace me for so many years... Now, it's time to take on the responsibility again."

After a pause, he began to tell a story from 70 years ago:

In the era when the war broke out, a young German scientist discovered a slab of stone, which could realize the evolution of all human beings. He felt that this would be the door to "happiness" for human beings.

If everyone has great power, will everyone have the possibility of happiness?

——This is the thought of Adolf K. Weisman, who was in the era of World War II and saw too many unarmed civilians die in the war: If those weak people have the power to protect themselves in the chaos, then Would they be able to go home successfully?

Back to that warm, happy home where no one is absent?

Then, the air strikes came.

The air raid on Dresden killed his significant and only relative, his sister.

However, he himself survived the disaster because he was selected by Dresden Stone Plate as the first king of the silver king at the most critical moment, and opened the Holy Land in time to protect himself.

Holding the dead sister's body in his arms, Adolf Weissman realized one thing: what really prevents human beings from achieving happiness is not the size of their abilities, but their inferiority.

Compared with the weak body of human beings, are bullets stronger?

Strong, but such power only brings pain.

A society where everyone has powerful abilities is just an upgraded version of today's world. Even because everyone's power is stronger, the damage caused is greater, and it will bring more misfortune.

To give a very simple example, in the United States, which has the "Freedom to Carry Guns" law, has everyone been able to use guns for self-defense, has the crime rate in society decreased?

No, but because of the proliferation of guns, the crime rate in the entire society has remained high, and even chaotic places like Detroit have appeared.

Disappointed with humans and even the world, the Silver King boarded an airship after the war, and began a life of wandering in the sky for 70 years without ever returning to the ground.

And the Dresden stone plate was given to his best friend.

"Lieutenant, he brought the Dresden stone plate back to Japan after the war and tried his best to suppress it, but the power of the stone plate is still too strong. In recent decades, people with superpowers have been born one after another. Up to now, Already more than [-]% of the people in the world have superpowers, and there are even creatures like weirdos who abandon their human identity and have stronger power." The boy whose real name is Adolf Weissman said with a wry smile, "The only thing worthy of The consolation is that the lieutenant's suppression is not ineffective, at least most people's superpowers are only insignificant and small abilities, and powerful superpowers rarely appear, such as the extremely destructive and lethal superpowers like the king. Capable people are even rarer."

The so-called insignificant abilities refer to superpowers that basically do not cause much change to life and society, such as the telekinetic power that can lift objects that do not exceed five kilograms and whose speed does not exceed 0.1 m/s-this efficiency is not as good as bending your own Hold it at your waist, for example, you can light a flame the size of a fingernail within 20cm of your body - except that you don't need to carry a lighter in the future, there is no other change, such as changing the color of your hair - this ability can be used as a hairdresser But how many people dream of being a hairdresser?

"You mean, according to the current activity of Shipan, the children born later will not have superpowers?" Xiaoba asked.

"No, it should maintain the current strength and popularity of the superpower, but if its activity increases, it will..." Xiaobai didn't continue, and everyone knew what would happen.

The girl with black hair and different pupils glanced at Xiaobai who had a dignified expression, and suddenly clapped her hands: "Okay, I understand the situation, please leave this stone plate at my house for the time being. You should go to bed now, all the cats go to sleep You are still not sleeping, Xiao Hei has been at the door for a long time, hesitant to speak and then stopped." She motioned Xiao Bai to look outside the door.

Standing outside the study room, wanting to remind the two inside that it's time to go to bed, Yatogami Gorou, who was afraid of disturbing their conversation, never thought that he had been discovered a long time ago.

"But the slate..."

"I'll watch at night—cats are nocturnal, don't you know?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ba put the stone slab into the astonishingly large cat litter with half the space left when the slab was put down, and the size was very likely to be for a large dog. Then he turned around and turned into a black cat, jumped on it, lie down.

On the left is a slate cat scratching board, and on the right is a soft cat litter mat, which is very good. When it is cold in winter, you can move it on the mat, and in summer, you can lie on the slate board. It is perfect!

Xiaobai turned off the light in the study room, and looked into the door just as it was about to close. In the room without a light source, those two bright eyes flickered and disappeared, and the room was pitch black.

Whether it's the cat's nest or the stone slab, I can't see it. It's because Xiaoba is paralyzed on it, right?

Xiaoba is really invisible at night. How did Xiaoba's parents find their daughter at night?

Xiaobai thought a little bit tangled.

The room was silent until two groups of lights suddenly lit up in the darkness.

The little Hachimao, who had closed his eyes and meditated, opened his eyes again.

She used her paws to pull the stone slab under her body a few times.

Still can't feel the power of the stone slab, so it's safe, right?

However, it is impossible for her to sleep as a cat every night-although this state does make her feel very comfortable, she prefers her own bed to a cat's litter!

The area that a cat can roll over is larger than a cat's litter!

In addition, the summer vacation is coming to an end now, and when the school starts, she needs to go to Weizhong Academy, and then she will live in the school and only come back once a week, should she bring the slate to school?

Even if she took it to school, she could suppress it at night, but what about during the day?

You can't carry it with you, can you?

...the size of this thing is not suitable for carrying around.

I have to figure out a way...

Little Hachimao fell into deep thought.

With this meditation, the sky dawned.

Xiaobai yawned and pushed open the study door: "Good morning, Xiaoba, how is the slate?"

Xiao Ba sat behind the desk in the study, quickly manipulating the keyboard and mouse with both hands, without leaving the screen for a moment, apparently in the dark in the game: "It's good, but I still can't sense the energy—Mr. Did you use a stone slab to fool us?"

"How could it be? Didn't we watch the lieutenant find the slate from the ruins and give it to me?" Xiaobai said and looked towards the cat's nest, which was still the same as before he left the study yesterday, the cat's nest was surprisingly large Inside, there are soft cushions in half, and the stone slabs used as cat scratching boards in the other half. The black long-haired cat with different pupils is curled up on it, and its big fluffy and soft tail sweeps across the surface of the slate every now and then. , Xiaobai really wanted to touch that big tail.

... wait a minute.

What did I just see?

The drowsiness disappeared, Xiaobai looked at the long-haired black cat with different eyes in the cat bed, and at Xiaoba who was still playing games behind the computer, and felt as if he had hallucinations: two Xiaoba?No, or did the black cat sneak in from somewhere else?

"No, that's me too." Xiao Ba said, and the black cat raised its tail in cooperation.

"……What's the meaning?"

"It's part of my ability—of course, it's not the ability of the Colorless King, it's the ability of Maoyou. By the way, I haven't told you about my special ability yet!" Xiao Ba thought for a while, Dao, "Although it looks like it can only be transformed into a cat on the surface, the most essential feature is to become a cat. The real ability lies in the second 'invisible tail' in the state of a cat."

"Two tails... a cat?" Xiaobai, who had a wide range of knowledge, asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, Maoyou. Dad said that our ancestors have the blood of cats and monsters, but it has been very weak in modern times. Like Dad, he can only see spirits and monsters. But when it comes to me, the awakened cats are much stronger than him , so that I can become a cat - that is actually a cat, the reason you only see one tail is because the second tail belongs to the "fairy tail", only spirits, monsters, and those with spiritual power and demon power Humans can only see it." Xiao Ba recalled the picture in his memory, and said casually, "The power of the cat is controlled by the 'Fairy Tail', the stronger the 'Fairy Tail', the stronger the ability, and the more the number of abilities will be. .”

Xiaobai probably understood a little bit: "Is this black cat one of your 'Fairy Tail'?"

"Well, I'm both of them, you just understand that I'm double-playing game characters." Xiao Ba said and stretched out his hand, and the black cat jumped onto the desk in coordination with her shoulders——after touching Xiao Ba's At that moment, the black cat's body turned into a puff of white air and completely merged into her body, "My consciousness can jump freely in these two bodies, just like switching between two game interfaces. But because there is only one consciousness , so the memory of encountering another body will only return to my consciousness when the two bodies merge into one. Before that, the only memory I can have is the memory during my 'operating body'. "

For example, the little eight figures are playing games in the study, and only put an "automatic program" on the black cat's body to stay in the living room, and the little black eats a piece of smoked fish for the black cat. After the cat's body fuses with Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba will know.But if Xiao Hei's consciousness is not on the humanoid body in the study but on the black cat when Xiao Hei is feeding the smoked fish, she will know immediately.

"When the consciousness is in one body, the other body can complete simple daily activities, but it can't do a little more complicated things like greeting people. It's a bit like mentally handicapped AI-it's a bit troublesome to move both sides together. Distracted operation is like using two interfaces and two characters to act together at the same time, so I usually don’t do complicated work together.” Xiaoba said, regardless of the shouting of a familiar ID in the chat bar in the lower left corner, Quit the game straight away, stood up, and recalled a bit, "In the past, only one went to class, and the other went for a walk."

"...Xiao Ba, did you develop such an ability to slip away from class?"

"That's not it!" Xiao Ba retorted without hesitation, "I developed this ability because some souls dared to rob me of my mother!"

"Hey?"

"It happened more than two years ago. At that time, I just went to Weizhong Academy. Because of the dormitory system, I left home for the first time. But when I came back for the first week, I found that I didn't know where to fly in this week when I was away. A green-haired bird actually hooked mother to touch it!" Xiao Ba was still angry when she thought about it, she had only been away for a week, and there was a green-haired bird that wanted to take advantage of it!

It will take a few more weeks, isn't there going to be a few more fluffy cats in the house! ?

"And that green-feathered bird dared to say that it likes my mother-robbing my mother and trying to pry my father's corner to be a mistress. I only plucked its tail hair and it is already very restrained! If my father knows, our family will I can drink parrot soup!" Xiaoba still feels itchy when thinking about it now, let her see that green bird again, if she doesn't pluck it out, she won't be the Street Fighter of this street!

It's a pity that she hasn't seen that green-feathered bird since then, if she knew it, she should have plucked it straight away!

However, the appearance of that green-feathered bird also sounded the alarm for Xiaoba: I will need accommodation for a full six years in the future. The Weizhong Academy in junior high school is okay, and I can come back once a week. But you may not be able to come back once a month!

During this period, what should parents do if they don't love each other!

Xiaoba absolutely does not accept to go home and find any cats and dogs in the house other than himself!

Neither do birds!

But if mom and dad want to masturbate, they can't do without masturbating...

Feeling the pressure of all the previous actions, Xiao Ba studied hard for more than a month, and finally developed this ability - Shadow Half Body.

From then on, the human form goes to class during the day, and the cat form walks around and patrols the site at night, and acts cute at home by the way, perfect!

After more than two years of training, Xiao Ba even managed to quickly cut his "body" and patrol the block while attending class.

Xiaobai: "...It's really an amazing driving force."

In order to monopolize the love of his parents, Xiao Ba really worked hard...

"In this way, the problem of pressing the slate when I go to school will be solved - I have tried it just now, and the cat shape is also effective." Xiaoba said, "After all, strictly speaking, both bodies are' I', there is no difference between a large and a small."

Because she can fuse a human form to a cat form, or a cat form to a human form. To her, two bodies are like a left hand and a right hand.

After solving the problem of the slate, Xiaobafen sent out the little black cat to let it continue to lie on the slate, and she was ready to go out. She made an appointment with senior sister Lan today.

Xiaoba had a fulfilling summer vacation in Yokohama, and Mao Lilan, who went to the United States with Kudo Shinichi, was not in vain. He was hijacked by an airplane and a silver-haired murderer, which made Mao Lilan suspect that he was possessed.

It should be the possession of the god of death, right... After meeting up with senior sister Mao Lilan at the coffee shop in the commercial street, listening to her complaints, Xiao Baxin said, "Probably because I followed the new senior Bar."

Conan's Death God physique began to take shape when he was Kudo Shinichi.

"What, you said it as if I wanted to encounter that kind of thing..." Kudo Shinichi hit Xiaoba on the forehead with a knife unceremoniously, "It's not that detectives attract crime, but crime attracts detectives, causality I will be very sad if I fall down! And Hachi, you are more exaggerated than me, I heard from the Megure police department that you were involved in the attack on the Yokohama police station, right?"

"Huh?" Mao Lilan heard about this for the first time, and her face suddenly changed. She quickly got up and looked at the black-haired girl, "Is there any injury?"

"It's only been a few days. If I got hurt, I'm sure I won't heal so fast—do you think I'm hurt now? So don't worry!" Xiaoba comforted Mao Lilan with a smile.

The green plants in the coffee shop blocked the view, and Xiao Ba didn't notice that when she was talking, someone just passed by from the other side, and when he heard her voice, he slowed down his pace slightly.

This voice...is it the little girl that Liu has been stalking recently, or is it just a similar voice?

"However, who is it, who is so bold and dares to attack the Yokohama Police Station... Afterwards, no organization came out to claim responsibility for the attack, so it was not a terrorist activity for the sake of publicity - to destroy the corpse ?” Kudo Shin began to think about this question subconsciously, and put forward the most likely guess, “Is there any criminal evidence in that police station that they would destroy even if they attacked the police station?”

Wow, I don't know anything, but I can accurately guess the truth. Is this the strength of a detective?

It's completely different from her who is just a third-rate novelist in the name of a detective... Xiao Hachi once again refreshed his understanding of Kudo Shinichi's reasoning ability and amazing intuition: "Who knows, he has been listed as a novelist by the military and police. It's a major incident, and a lot of manpower has been invested in the investigation, but...even if there is a result, it's not something we can inquire about."

"It's true." Kudo Shinichi was right when he thought about it. Even if this kind of thing is finally found out, it will be reported after the person is caught. Before that, no news will be leaked to ordinary people, " By the way, Xiaoba, the Mumu Police Department said that you have been paying attention to those disappearance cases recently, let's check together later?"

"Xinyi, don't drag Hachi to play your detective game!"

"Please allow me to solemnly refuse - school is about to start and I haven't finished my homework yet!"

The refusal of the two voices sounded at the same time, and then Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi were stunned at the same time, looking at Xiaoba: "You haven't finished your homework yet?!"

"Because I was busy doing homework assigned by my tutor when I was in Yokohama, I forgot my summer homework. Recently, I encountered something. As a result, I made up my homework all night yesterday, and now I still have half a math problem to finish... ..." Xiao Ba felt his head hurt when he thought of this, "Forget it, just write a few random words later to fill in the questions, anyway, the teacher won't approve summer homework!"

——It's all because the green king is crazy about making troubles than the water flow, causing her to forget her summer homework!

"You obviously forgot because you had so much fun in Yokohama?" Shinichi Kudo complained. When he picked up the menu and was about to call the waiter to order, he realized that the store was very busy: although there were not many tables seated, But there is a waiter at each table recording the orders of the guests.

I don’t know why, these customers’ orders are very slow——Kudo Shinichi noticed that there was a table where they were ordering when they came in, but they haven’t finished ordering yet, so he asked the waiter to introduce the menu on dessert.

Xiao Ba probed her head and noticed this too: "There isn't a single vacant waiter, even the waiter at the cash register came out to help order... order..." She was stunned, stood up abruptly, her eyes were on the Quickly scan the coffee table: Those customers who are ordering are holding smart terminals in their hands, and a green tree-shaped logo can be vaguely seen!

Jungle!

Is that rubbish Green King messing around again! ?

On the side, Kudo Shinichi was reminded by Xiaoba's words, and then looked at the cash register: Usually there will be at least one waiter watching there, but now there is no one there, if someone steals the money at the cash register at this time, No one can find out!

"Is it a coincidence?" Kudo Shinichi frowned, he felt something wrong.

But how does this work?

"I don't think so." Xiao Ba said flatly.

Just when Kudo Shinichi wanted to ask her where she saw it, near the cash register where the two were staring, a person wearing a green circuit helmet appeared through the wall out of thin air, opened the drawer of the cash register and began to take the money inside !

"In broad daylight...you are too courageous!" Kudo Shinichi didn't have time to be shocked, he took the water glass on the side and kicked it like a football at the person wearing the helmet - considering the defensive power of the helmet, he didn't Instead of aiming for the head, aim for his vest.

The speed and strength of the water cup kicked out with the leg strength enhanced ability were astonishing. It hit the helmet man's back and directly brought his body forward, causing his waist to hit the cashier hard. superior.

At this time, Mao Lilan had already rushed to the cashier, shouted, and karate directly knocked down the man in the helmet, making him lie down on the cashier and passed out.

Xiao Hachi, who is one step behind Mao Lilan: No, he is indeed the future champion of the National High School Karate Competition!

When the loud noise came, the other waiters realized that someone was taking money from the cash register!

"Call the police, please tell the police that this is a special ability crime," Kudo Shin said to the waitress who was still in shock, "it needs to be dealt with by the special department." He walked to the cashier and heard the helmet The voice from the smartphone terminal on the man: "Mission failed! Points deducted!"

The bright green circuit on this person's helmet immediately faded and dimmed, and the entire helmet disappeared, revealing the real face underneath: an ordinary-looking teenager in his teens.

That helmet is formed by a special ability?

Shinichi Kudo was thoughtful, and when Scepter4, who was in charge of dealing with the incidents of people with special abilities, arrived, he told everything that happened before, including the sound from the smart terminal and the helmet that suddenly disappeared. After the person from the team, the other party thanked him for the clues and took him back.

"Although it has been solved... But there is still a problem with the incident just now..." Kudo Shinichi thought about it, "It is obviously not a particularly busy time, but there is no waiter in the cafe who is free, so I directly gave The suspect can take this opportunity... Is it really a coincidence? Xiaoba, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he asked the girl with different pupils beside him: "...Xiaoba?"

Kudo Shinichi opened his eyes wide.

There was no one around.

——Xiao Ba, who was beside him just now, is gone.

The sound of the fan turning.

And...the sound of a model plane flying...

Feeling vaguely conscious, Xiao Ba tried to open his eyes.

What catches the eye are tatami mats, washing machines with "water-saving" stickers, and refrigerators with "power-saving" signs... No matter how you look at it, it looks like the residence of a family that seems to be in poor condition.

Xiao Ba sat up from the tatami, dazed.

Where is this place?

The sound of a wheelchair came from behind, and Xiao Ba turned around, and saw the sloppy uncle who had met once in the coffee shop, and a young man in a wheelchair.

"Welcome to Jungle's secret base, Miss Xia Ji—although I want to call you that," the young man said, then tilted his head, and said, "But from the intelligence point of view, you don't like people calling you that— —So, can I call you Xiaoba?"
