Chapter 17 Ten years in the blink of an eye, the world has not changed (1)
Asheng is now Ji Xing's personal doctor. In addition to occasionally checking Ji Xing's physical growth, he is also responsible for his diet, housework and most importantly... making money to support Ji Xing.
Children cannot make money, and it is not convenient for Ji Xing to ask for money from his family or withdraw money from the club. Of course, when Ji Xing turns 18 again, Ji Xing will make a fortune for Aso that is enough to make him wealthy.
money as reward.
Judging from the current development of Tabletop Games Co., Ltd., this is very easy. After releasing new character cards as planned and enriching the gameplay, "I Am Detective" has become even more popular, with monthly sales exceeding 100 million yen.
The emergence of collectible cards and special cards has also made children who love collecting cards very popular... Of course, it is still far behind Kamen Rider.
Aso is not disgusted with his current life. Since his parents and sister were burned to death in the fire, and his adoptive parents also died one after another, he has been alone and careless in this world.
Ji Xing suddenly appeared to help him avenge him and prevent him from falling into the abyss. He was grateful in his heart... Even now, he still doesn't understand how Ji Xing knew about his hatred and why he could do so bizarrely.
Become a child.
"You're back? You're ready to eat." He looked out from the kitchen with a sweet smile.
Just like a male mother.
Because female doctors will get some conveniences in their work, and because of habits, Aso still retains female makeup and appearance.
After all, I have been a female doctor for more than three years, and I am not used to being a man again.
And this year now, due to the chaos of time in Ke Xue's world, he felt that it only lasted a few days, and it was still too early to change it.
Even if one year ago it was 1994 and now it is 1995, he doesn't feel there is any problem. He doesn't feel that he should be one year older after one year.
In Aso's eyes, Ji Xing is not growing up, but recovering.
I even felt that Ji Xing recovered very quickly.
"We have to prepare to move."
Aso was startled, but he was mentally prepared for it. He smiled and said, "Yes, some time ago my neighbor asked me if my brother had suddenly grown a lot taller. It felt strange. Where are we going?"
"Let's go to Kobe." Ji Xing said.
"Okay, I will resign tomorrow."
As long as you don't go back to Tokyo, there will be no problem. Only in Tokyo it is easy to meet an "old acquaintance" who knows what he looked like when he was a child, causing unnecessary trouble.
As for the black organization? They can’t even find Hui Yuan Ai, so how can they find the smaller version of themselves?
Ji Xing took off his shoes and entered the house, washed his hands first, and then went to the coffee table to pick up today's newspaper and read it.
Nowadays, when the Internet is underdeveloped, newspapers and television are the best channels to learn all kinds of information.
‘New famous detective? Teitan High School girl Suzuki Sonoko solved the magic murder case!’
"Is it the sleeping Suzuki Sonoko this time?"
Every half month or so, Ji Xing can see a similar report in the newspaper, but most of them are about the sleeping Mouri Kogoro.
That's right, every half month.
Detective Conan is jokingly said that people die every day, and sometimes several die at once. Conan dies wherever he goes, but when he entered the world of Conan, Ji Xing discovered that this is not the case. It is only the day when the person dies that is "compiled into a series."
There is still a quiet time in the middle of the episode, otherwise cases would be solved every day, and Kogoro Mouri would be able to close out two buildings just by collecting the commission money.
Over the past year, Conan has solved a total of 22 cases. Although this is still an exaggeration, it is still within a reasonable range.
"Based on this frequency, when I turn eighteen again, Conan's plot should reach around episode 300...it's not too late." Ji Xing calculated.
…
Demon Continent, a bowl of clear noodle soup, two poached eggs, Ji Xing is cooking again.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Ji Xing paused, sniffed lightly, and went to open the door with a noodle bowl. Standing outside the door was a young man wearing black clothes and carrying a long knife at his waist.
"Yi Nan? Uh, have you eaten?"
The young demon hunter was stunned and nodded.
"I've eaten before, that..." His delicate face was a bit shocked, and he hesitated to speak.
"Do you still want to ask me if you have any questions? Or am I violating the rules by telling everyone the story of that day when setting up the stall today?" Ji Xing asked.
"No, it's not." The boy shook his head: "Can you... teach me how to play chess?"
"Learn chess?" Ji Xing was stunned.
"...I can give you money."
"No, no need." Ji Xing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You are my savior, why do you want to ask for money for such a small thing? Come on, come in and sit down."
He brought the noodle bowl to his mouth and sucked hard.
Hululu——
The remaining noodles swallowed into his mouth. Ji Xing chewed and said to Yi Nan: "Wait, wait for me."
After hurriedly clearing the table, he put the chessboard on the table and asked, "Why do you think of learning chess? Do you have any foundation before?"
"I just...want to learn. I only know the basic rules, but I have never played them before." Yi Nan said.
"The horses are walking over the mountains with the slanting sun and cannons, and the chariots are traveling straight across the fields. The pawns are crossing the river and walking sideways, and the soldiers and elephants are not far from the veteran?" Ji Xing opened his mouth.
Yi Nan's eyes lit up and he nodded.
"It's easy to talk about it if you know this. There are three stages in chess, the layout stage, the middle game stage, and the endgame stage. If a novice learns chess, we should start from the back and learn how to kill the opponent first, and understand various chess killing methods.
.”
Ji Xing searched for the chess pieces, and with a few clicks, he created a simple endgame on the chessboard. The red side's attack was fierce, and it could be a killing move in two moves.
"Come, give it a try?"
Although the endgame is simple, for a novice who is new to chess and has no experience and no clear ideas, it is difficult to see through the key points at a glance.
After Yi Nan made a mistake, Ji Xing explained the correct move to him again, and then successively presented several variants of similar endgames. Yi Nan gradually grasped the path, attacked in place, and successfully checked Ji Xing once. He couldn't help but reveal
Happy smiley face.
This smile... actually looks kind of pretty?
Ji Xing frowned, suspicious in his heart, and asked directly: "Yi Nan, are you... a girl?"
Yi Nan was stunned: "Ah? No, why do you say that?"
"...It's okay, I'm sick." Ji Xing shook his head. Is it because he has been exposed to Aso for a long time or has he read too many similar novels? What am I thinking?
"Come on, continue."
Yi Nan was very smart. After finding the way for the first time, he became more enlightened and quickly mastered the five basic killing methods.
An hour passed unknowingly. Yi Nan suddenly looked out the window, the smile on his face faded, and said, "I have to go."
"Oh, do you want to patrol? Thank you for your hard work."
Yi Nan smiled shyly: "Well... can I still come over tomorrow?"
Ji Xing nodded: "Of course, you can come whenever I'm at home."
"Thank you." Yi Nan said: "And... I come to learn chess with you every day. Please don't tell others, okay?"
Ji Xing was stunned. He originally wanted to use this matter as an advertisement... "No problem."
Yi Nan smiled gratefully, stood up and left.
In the next few days, Yi Nan would come to Ji Xing to learn chess every day at this time. The time was not long or short, exactly an hour.
The two gradually became familiar with each other, and Yi Nan, who was a little afraid of society, even became a bit chatty after getting to know Ji Xing. From his mouth, Ji Xing could occasionally get some information that ordinary people in the Demon Continent could not get, but it was nothing.
It can be considered a secret.
I also know that this boy has been training as a demon hunter since he was eight years old. He doesn't have much of a childhood. Even playing chess is very interesting.
What he is best at and knows best is killing monsters, so when the two chatted, he talked about things about killing monsters the most.
Ji Xing felt quite complicated after hearing this.
There is also a sense of humor that makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time.
