Chapter 89

Raw Stone

“Conan, have you noticed that Enako seems to be worried recently?”

Mouri Ran carefully tied Conan’s tie and smoothed the wrinkles of him suit, and suddenly said something off topic.

“So Mouri Ran Elder Sister, have you noticed that Enako has been going out every now and then, and always comes back late.”

Conan stood quietly in front of the mirror, raised him head and looked into Mouri Ran’s eyes, recalled Natsume Enako’s recent actions and said.

“I have something to go out first.”

Just when Conan and the other two were still whispering, a crisp and loud voice came from not far away, and a familiar figure hurriedly stepped out of the door of Mouri Detective Agency.

After closing the door, Natsume Enako hurried downstairs, wearing a light green skirt, looking very youthful.

Today is a very special day. In the past few days, the whole rice flower town (town (町)) were covered with the magic words and patterns of Kanzaki.

Those magic patterns have a function of searching and exploring, and can find the power source needed for the operation of this ancient magic array.

Natsume Enako had just arrived at Kanzaki’s location, and before she stopped, she happened to see Kanzaki holding a long sword and chanting something.

The magic words and patterns under her feet glowed with a faint red light, as if a wonderful chemical change had occurred, and began to blend with this strange space.

Kanzaki Kaori held the long sword high in her hand, stepped on the steps of a priestess, and her whole body was also glowing with stars, and then the starlight turned into a huge beam of light visible to the naked eye and rushed into the ground.

At the same time, in the corners of Mika Town (town (町)) that were not easily noticed by people, patterns of the same appearance were also lit up one by one, It was as if Magic’s body was gradually assembled.

Magic’s special effects are very eye-catching, and the effects that can be achieved are also very outstanding. In the current situation where a certain ability user is confused, only magic can be used to deal with magic.

The bright light illuminates the rice flower town (town (町)), and immediately reveals an unusual flavor. The many lit magic patterns also affect most of the sky of the rice flower town (town (町)), and the red color dyes the sky red, like a burning cloud.

The fire cloud did not last too long. From its edge, the red gradually faded away, as if it was concentrating in one direction. As its area gradually decreased, the red became brighter.

Looking up at the changing sky, Natsume Enako observed the location where the red was concentrated with some concern.

“That’s right, that direction is Mouri Detective Agency.”

Natsume Enako nodded secretly, which was no different from her own guess.

“Go in that direction.” Kanzaki Kaori completed the ceremony, put away the long sword in her hand, and stared at the sky that was already as red as blood.

The long sword in Kanzaki Kaori’s hand also made Natsume Enako take a closer look. It was more than two meters long and was a prop used in rain-praying ceremonies in some places in Japan. It can also be called a sword.

Mouri Kaori moved quickly and silently towards the area where the red was gradually getting thicker, which made Natsume Enako inexplicably nervous.

“Mouri Detective Agency? Isn’t this where you live?”

Kanzaki Kaori showed a confused look on her face, turned her head and looked directly into Natsume Enako’s eyes.

The atmosphere was awkward for some reason, Natsume Enako looked at the familiar sign silently, and a shy smile appeared on her face.

“So that’s how it is, no wonder you said before that you found clues similar to the source, is it because you live nearby?” Kanzaki Kaori paused, and understood something.

The deep red in the sky enveloped Mouri Detective Agency, but as the two stepped into it, all the abnormalities disappeared.

“Sister Enako, did you bring your friends here?”

he don’t know where he ran out from the corner, Conan maintained his usual elusiveness, his face was full of childish innocence, and people had no defense.

However, with the appearance of Conan, Kanzaki Kaori’s expression finally changed, There was a sudden complexity in him eyes.

The night wind was a little urgent.

“Raw stone? I know a little about this term, but what does it have to do with Conan?”

On the rooftop of Beika Restaurant, Natsume Enako looked at the scenery in the distance. She understood the individual words, but she was a little confused when she were connected.

Raw stone refers to those special people who have super abilities without brain development, that is, the so-called natural ability people.

It seems that the chance of birth is extremely small worldwide, and it is more precious than the lv5 of Academy City. The lv5 of Academy City is only the top of 2.3 million people, but it is just a drop in the ocean compared to the world.

“The birth of magic is to allow people without talent to catch up with talented people. Part of the original magic comes from people’s idol worship of the original stone. In other words, we are some of the people who know the original stone best. People who worship idols will naturally be easily touched by the glory of idols.”

“To prevent accidents, I verified it several times before and after. He is the original stone. There is no mistake about this. Moreover, the ability of the original stone is often very strange. Sometimes even the original stone itself is not clear. It does not need to think through the brain. It releases ability to the outside like the body instinctively.”

Kanzaki Kaori answered seriously, sitting down on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the lights of thousands of houses with a normal expression.

“But even if Conan is a raw stone, normally he will not be related to this magic array. He should not know anything about magic.”

Natsume Enako said doubtfully.

“No, it is because this person is a raw stone that she can pull so many people into magic, even if she himself is completely unaware of it. This is something that ordinary magicians cannot do. Whether it is superability or magic, the raw stone itself is a miracle.” Kanzaki Kaori insisted, with a more serious tone.

Natsume Enako still had a lot of questions in her mind, but at this moment she thought of something.

“Kanzaki, do you know how long ago this magic array was restored to use?”

“According to the magic traces attached to it, it should be two months ago, of course I am talking about the two months in reality.”

Like Conan, Natsume Enako slowly paced on the rooftop, supported him non-existent eyes and thought.

So what is the difference between two months ago and now, and there must be a connection with Conan.

Isn’t this obvious?

Natsume Enako suddenly realized that two months ago was exactly when Conan came to Mouri The date of Conan’s stay at Kogorou’s house, and before that, Conan was called Kudo Shinichi, a famous high school detective.

The culprit for the change was the Black Organization, or more precisely, the shrinking drug of the Black Organization.

Could it be that something was added to the shrinking drug that caused this change?

However, Natsume Enako didn’t have any medicine to make her smaller, but she did have some information. She could only take things one step at a time.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the reason. I still have many ways to solve the problem.” Kanzaki Kaori suddenly stood up with a strange look on her face.

“How to solve it?”

“The simplest way is to directly destroy the carrier of the source.” Kanzaki Kaori said thoughtfully.

“Absolutely not.”

Natsume Enako hurriedly stood up and rejected Kanzaki Kaori’s proposal.

Even though that little brat is really annoying sometimes, this method is absolutely not acceptable.

“Of course, this method is only the last resort. In fact, there are other methods to replace it.” Kanzaki Kaori continued with a faint smile.

“We can put Conan in a box that can isolate magic induction, so that we can take advantage of this short gap to get rid of the influence of the magic array. However, it takes a lot of time and energy to build such a box, and I am in a hurry now.”

“We can also find a way to eliminate the influence of the magic array on us, such as using the magic of the ancient magicians to leave after the gathering, or let this broken magic array give up its influence on us.”

As soon as Kanzaki Kaori finished speaking, Natsume Enako showed a thoughtful look, as if trying to digest what had just been said.
