Stay away from Conan

Chapter 498: The Authority Possessed

"Not really a prophecy."

Koizumi Hongzi heard Gao Yuan's words, thought for a moment and said:

"I just felt like I had a strange dream before. I don't remember what happened in the dream, but I just felt that I should prepare a piece of jewelry with the image of a 'priestess' as soon as possible. Although I don't know why, I just felt that I would need it sooner or later."

Saying this, Koizumi Hongzi looked at Gao Yuan's expression, which changed from horror to seriousness, and finally asked abruptly:

"Ms. Koizumi, what does 'dream weaving, the ultimate form of illusion' mean?"

"Hey? Don't you know?"

Hearing this question, Koizumi Hongzi couldn't help but be a little surprised, but looking at Gao Yuan's expression, it didn't look like he was lying, so he sighed helplessly and replied somewhat seriously:

"You should know that 'illusion' uses various means to achieve something that seems incredible. But its essence is not to change reality, but to affect people's cognition. For example, using drugs or various psychological effects Suggestion. The most extreme of these is to use various means to consciously let the other party enter a carefully woven dream, and directly influence the other party's subconscious mind from the dream. This is called 'dream weaving'."

As he spoke, Koizumi Hongzi frowned slightly, looked at Gao Yuan's thoughtful expression, and then sighed helplessly:

"However, this method is very difficult. With my spiritual sense and methods, the chance of successfully 'weaving dreams' will not exceed one percent... I guess no one in the world can perfectly master this ability."

After saying this, Koizumi Hongzi saw that Gao Yuan still seemed to be immersed in thinking, so she couldn't help but said angrily:

"Hey! Stop thinking about this and give me my 'reward' first!"

Saying this, Koizumi Hongzi directly handed the necklace in her hand to Gao Yuan's hand.

But at this moment, when Gao Yuan's hand touched the necklace, in Gao Yuan's sight, a magical scene happened -

I saw a burst of light emerge from Gao Yuan's own hand, and then combined, turning into the shape of a card directly above the necklace.

Finally, the card slowly sank and disappeared into the necklace, and all the light disappeared at this moment.

Then, at the same moment, the expressions of Gao Yuan and Koizumi Hongzi changed spontaneously——

"What... happened?"

Very puzzled, Koizumi Anko took the necklace back into her hands with some strangeness, looked at it in detail, and couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Obviously nothing has changed, but why does it feel different?"

Saying this, Koizumi Anko put the necklace on her neck thoughtfully, holding the jewelry at the bottom of the necklace with one hand, staring at it thoughtfully.

Unlike Koizumi Anko, the change in Gao Yuan's expression at this time was due to the new content that appeared in front of him after receiving the "Priestess" item——

I saw that when I glanced at the "hermit" on me, something like a monocle like a "star" suddenly appeared in my line of sight, like a transparent icon.

In this regard, Gao Yuan seemed to understand something subconsciously, so he took out the "Star" from his right pocket, put it on his right eye, and glanced at the corner of the "hermit"'s clothes through the lens of the "Star" again.

This time, the transparent icon in sight suddenly became tangible, as if it were the same as the options on the settlement panel, which could be clicked and selected with thoughts.

So, Gao Yuan clicked on the monocle icon that became solid like selecting a reward.

Immediately afterwards, another burst of light began to appear, and some particle-like light spots floated out from the clothes of the "hermit" and flew to the lenses of the "star".

Then, from a high perspective, it can be seen that in the lens, those light spots turned into a card, and then disappeared from the field of vision.

But at the same time, as the card disappeared, Gao Yuan was keenly aware of something. With a slight movement of his mind, he saw that the settlement panel that could not appear at will could now appear in front of him according to his own thoughts.

However, this panel does not have the same information content as the settlement panel, but looks like a book.

In response to this, Gao Yuan's thoughts moved slightly and he wanted to open the book, so this illusory book was opened in front of Gao Yuan——

But now, the entire book is almost entirely blank, with only one page containing text:

"Name: Hermit"

"Authority Effect: Only with the authority of "Hermit" can you use the prop "Hermit" and exert the effect of the prop."

"Prop effect: ① The hermit gropes forward alone in the dark, so when you wear the "hermit", it is not easy to attract the attention of others, and it is difficult for others to have strong emotions towards you. ② The hermit tries to give up the outside temptation, and then achieve inner peace. Therefore, wearing the "Hermit" will make it easier for you to stay calm and not be disturbed by external temptations, and your thinking will become clearer."

"Note: If others have strong feelings for you, or are familiar with you without wearing the "Hermit", the "Hermit" props will be ineffective for them."

In this regard, after reading this page's detailed description of the "hermit's" authority, Gao Yuan couldn't help but understand -

Sure enough, after that "reward upgrade", the effect of "Hermit" has become different from that of "Detective's Magic Windbreaker", and because I still don't know the specific effect of "Hermit", I can only use "Hermit". The effect of "The Detective's Magical Trench Coat" is used to speculate on the effect of "The Hermit".

Now it seems that compared to the "Detective's Magic Windbreaker", "The Hermit" not only has the effect of hiding one's identity, but also allows people to think clearly. This can indeed be regarded as a reward after upgrading.

Compared with these, the points mentioned in the precautions also made Gao Yuan understand why he clearly handed over the "hermit" windbreaker and the "hermit" authority to Miyano Shiho when he was at the "SONOKO Hotel" that day. , why was she still found and hunted by Gin——

After all, Gin is familiar with Miyano Shiho who is not wearing the "Hermit", and he also has strong feelings for Miyano Shiho.

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but take off the "star" and put it back into his pocket——

Judging from the effect of the "Priestess" prop, I can now view the effects of all authorities, and it seems that viewing authority requires passing the "star". In this case, how can I check the authority of the "star"?

As a result, Gao Yuan became very curious about it, and now he just wanted to go home and study it carefully.

While Gao Yuan was thinking, Koizumi Hongzi turned his attention to Gao Yuan and said meaningfully:

"Can you lend me this piece of clothing for me to study now?"

In this regard, Gao Yuan reluctantly changed the subject:

"Miss Koizumi, the reward mentioned in the prophecy has been given to you, I think we should go back."

"Hey, stingy."

Hearing Gao Yuan's polite refusal, Koizumi Hongzi couldn't help but said, and then looked at the necklace worn around her neck, with a mysterious smile on her lips:

"I hope you won't come to beg me then!"
