Chapter 37 When I Have Three Wishes, I Can Have Three More Wishes
At this moment, Shiraishi is separated from Ogino's father by two layers of fence, which is half a kindergarten.
Just as he was thinking about it, the light screen suddenly popped up.
...Have you prepared the recommended props?
Shiraishi looked down and saw that the Q-version assistant had changed into an all-black tight-fitting night suit this time. She had a hemp rope on her shoulder and was dragging something with difficulty, moving one step at a time from outside the screen.
come out.
Shiraishi waited politely, but a minute passed before the Q version of the little guy walked away, not even a centimeter away.
"..." After a while, Baishi silently held down the small piece of rope exposed behind the Q version assistant and drew it outward.
Suddenly, a stone flower that was twice as big as the Q version assistant and looked extremely hard was pulled out with a clang.
As soon as it appeared on the screen, just like the previous props, it broke through the boundaries of the second and third dimensions and fell straight down.
Baishi was already prepared and reached out to fish it out.
The palm of his hand felt cold, the rope tied to the flower disappeared, and the new prop fell into his hand.
Everything happened so fast, the Q version assistant sat on the ground, dazed for a while.
After coming back to her senses, she stood up silently, patted the non-existent soil on her body, and moved back out of the screen in small steps.
Shiraishi turned off the light screen and looked around at the new prop.
The stone flower looks like the seven-petaled lotus in the deep forest.
But its color is not the common pure white, but instead red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, each petal is a different color, and the color combination is terrible.
This combination reminded Shiraishi of a story he often heard when he was a child: seven-color flowers.
The story is about a little girl who bought bagels. She tied several bagels together with a rope and dragged them all the way home. Halfway through, she found that the bagels had been eaten by a wild dog following behind her.
The old woman passing by saw her crying sadly, so she gave her a wishing flower with seven petals, each petal having a wish.
Thinking of this, Bai Shi's eyes moved slightly. Could this... be the seven-color flower he thought?
"The first wish." Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Bai Shi picked up the flower and whispered in a low voice, "I also want a seven-color flower."
The stone flower lay quietly in his hand, motionless, with a cold attitude as if he didn't want to talk to the sand sculpture.
...Well, it seems that's not how it was used. Shiraishi put down his hand in disappointment.
Then he tried to put this new prop into his backpack, and it succeeded:
[[Special] Flower Dream]
[Charging: 7x72h]
[Use: Used to create and guide small virtual worlds]
[Remarks: A vicissitudes of white lotus that is always mistaken for a seven-color flower. Sincerely praise its appearance and it will teach you how to use it]
"..." There is no white at all from beginning to end, even the stamens are black, how dare you call it white lotus?
But the functionality is great. It can create and guide a small virtual world... As long as it is used properly, it will not make Ogino's father give up killing people.
Shiraishi found a hidden bench. After sitting down, he took a minute to put away all the complaints in his heart, and then took out the flower from his backpack with great piety.
He took a deep breath and composed his words: "I have never seen such a stunningly beautiful lotus flower..."
…
Fifteen minutes later, Shiraishi, who had a sore throat after saying good things, finally got the full set of instructions.
[Flower Dream] can pull people into the illusion without even realizing it. For the person being pulled, the physical sensation is not much different from that in the real world.
For such a magical prop, the CD is also very long - each petal needs to be charged for 3 days, and it takes 21 days to fully charge it.
Fortunately, it is fully loaded when it leaves the factory, so Shiraishi can use it directly.
At the beginning of use, the illusion must be as natural as possible to connect with reality, so as to reduce the resistance of the person being pulled and take the opportunity to read the information in the other person's mind.
Once the target feels shaken and begins to believe that the environment in front of him is real, everything after that will be entirely decided by the controller.
After thinking for a moment, Shiraishi quickly came up with a plan.
It is not difficult to connect with reality. What Ogino's father wants to do most right now is nothing more than "revenge". As long as we start from here, the rest will be simple.
But just as he was about to leave, Shiraishi suddenly realized a problem.
——He doesn’t know what Ogawa Masauki’s son looks like.
After the constructed virtual world enters a stable period, he can extract clues from Ogino's father's mind.
In the initial stage, all the characters and scenes must be arranged by Shiraishi.
Ogino's father must have checked the appearance of Ogawa's son. Shiraishi couldn't just pick up a kid and let him make up the numbers, otherwise the other party wouldn't believe it.
...It's better to act before Ogino takes action.
With this thought, Shiraishi sat back on the bench again.
The sun was shining brightly at noon, but after being filtered by the cascading branches overhead, all that was left was shade, which was soothing.
And there were actually no mosquitoes here. Shiraishi was surprised for a while, and then he figured it out: maybe it was because they would freeze to death within a few days of being born.
It's a bit miserable, but he likes it.
Kindergarten classes usually end very early. It's already past noon now, so it should be soon.
Shiraishi waited very patiently. At the same time, he held the stone flower in his hand and continued to blow it, hoping to see if any other information could come out after he reached the maximum level of praise.
Ogino Tomoya squatted closest to his father, looking at the sky blue fence, dumbfounded and not knowing what he was thinking.
…
More than 20 minutes ago, Ogawa Masayuki arrived at Miwa General Hospital with Maori and the other three.
Although on the way, he also wondered why he needed to bring children and high school girls to solve the case... But forget it, the accelerator has been stepped on, let's do it.
Conan stepped into the hospital door and glanced suspiciously at the bustling people around him. He didn't see Shiraishi and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But he soon remembered that the bus had to take a long way around and would definitely be slower than a private car. It was not yet certain that Shiraishi would not come.
...So where did Shiraishi infer that Ogawa Masauki worked at Miwa General Hospital, and that this workplace was related to the gift-giving incident?
I have no clue at all...
While Conan was wondering about the strange neighbor, a receptionist saw Ogawa Masayuki.
"Mr. Ogawa!" She motioned to Masauki Ogawa to stay, then took out a pot of morning glories from behind the counter, walked over and handed it to him:
"We received a gift for you, from Mr. Tanaka."
Tanaka, an ordinary surname, made several people prick up their ears at this moment.
