Chapter 54: Classic Layered Cakes
Chapter 54: Classic Layered Cakes
It was another weekend, and Akutagawa Hiko was sitting in the yard basking in the early spring sun, leisurely reading the newspaper. The warm little steamed buns were quietly lying on his belly, already beginning to resemble the style of Tachibana-za.
Tangbing is chasing a dog-shaped robot toy that is about the same size as itself.
This toy is from Professor Agasa. It's very sturdy and durable. It hasn't been taken apart after all this time. Apart from the furniture in the basement, the furniture in the Akutagawa residence has been completely replaced. They are all masterpieces of the cat and dog.
As for why the toy was given to Tangbing, it's mainly because Professor Agasa's invention exploded again one time, but Tangbing dug him out of the rubble.
Although Professor Agasa's scientific abilities meant he could have stayed inside until Akutagawa Hiko returned without any problems, he still suffered much less. To express his gratitude, he made this fun and playable robot.
Looking at the newspaper articles that took up a lot of space and featured his own story, as well as the excellent photo with its perfect angle and composition, Akutagawa Hiko was overjoyed.
[Shocking! The renowned detective intervenes again, miraculously reforming the criminal and leading to a reconciliation between the victim and the killer!!]
The standard sensationalist style, exaggerated headlines, and the way Akutagawa Hiko's character is downplayed while his character is emphasized are all clearly motivated by ulterior motives.
However, Akutagawa Hiko didn't care.
Others facing excessive praise and idolization may also have to worry about falling from grace.
But Akutagawa Hiko doesn't need to worry. He can truly use his influence to become a "god," even a "god" in the eyes of ordinary people, without needing to achieve the Six Paths.
……
The next morning, when Akutagawa Hiko opened the curtains, he was speechless to find that it had started snowing. Xiaolongbao was not very happy about this, but Tangbing was running around happily in the yard.
I've heard that a husky's intelligence is simply sealed by the high temperatures, but even in this cold weather, its eyes still gleam with wisdom.
However, judging from the fact that Tangbing can now cooperate with him to use the Inuzuka family's secret techniques, it just doesn't seem very smart.
After breakfast, while Akutagawa was doing his morning exercise in the yard, Professor Agasa rang the doorbell.
Looking at Professor Agasa, who was acting like a thief, Akutagawa Hiko showed curiosity.
Professor Agasa had visited other people's homes quite often before, but he would never do it so secretly. Akutagawa searched his memory for related events, but to no avail.
"Professor Agasa, what's the matter?"
Akutagawa Hiko opened the door and let Professor Agasa, whose forehead was already covered with a layer of white hair, in, and asked.
Professor Agasa nodded: "If Shinichi asks you for help today, please don't take action."
Under Akutagawa's curious gaze, Professor Agasa began to explain.
It turns out that just last night, Conan's parents, who didn't really act like parents, finally remembered their son who was far away on the other side of the ocean.
The Kudo couple were extremely worried about their son facing off against the Black Organization, so they decided to give him a test.
They decided to kidnap their own son.
That's right, this couple really knows how to play the game, they manage to trick their son in a way that's both smooth and logical.
However, while the couple might seem unreliable, they were also quite reliable; they did some useful things before they left.
In short, Yukiko Kudo has now gone to the Mouri Detective Agency under the alias Fumiyo Edogawa, intending to take Conan away, who currently knows nothing about his parents' return to Japan.
However, before kidnapping Conan, the two decided to eliminate unstable factors, with Professor Agasa and Hiko Akutagawa being the top priorities.
If a tech whiz and an unknown superhuman were to get involved, not only would things become incredibly messy, but the entire test plan would be impossible to continue.
Dr. Agasa is alright; he just needs to give a notification.
As for Akutagawa Hiko, he could only ask Professor Agasa, whom he knew better, to act as his intermediary.
Akutagawa Hiko naturally had no objections and readily agreed.
After Professor Agasa left, Akutagawa Hiko revealed a slightly wicked smile. He said he wouldn't interfere, but he didn't say that others wouldn't go, right?
Akutagawa Hiko pondered with a hint of excitement what identity would be most suitable for stirring up trouble.
First of all, it can't be too strong. After all, it's much easier to be backward compatible than upward compatible when it comes to using multiple accounts. Anyway, as long as you don't run into the likes of Okita Souji or Kyogoku Makoto, there won't be any major problems.
Secondly, the age shouldn't be too high.
Akutagawa Hiko had a basic premise for Konoha, Akatsuki, and even other organizations that he might create later: that a small number of high-ranking members were interested in the elixir of immortality.
They're not very strong, and they're quite old, so they're not exactly valued.
If a prodigy is sent out, then there will be no problem.
His abilities are not beyond the standard, yet he is a key talent being cultivated, which shows both arrogance and sufficient importance.
"In that case, the identity of a Root ninja seems quite suitable."
As for the Seal of the Extinction of Tongue Disaster, Akutagawa Hiko does not plan to exchange for it at the moment. After all, everyone in the organization is himself, so there is no need to keep secrets.
It's as simple as using chakra to create a color patch on your tongue.
Looking at the Root-clad figure in the mirror, who resembled young Kakashi in about six-tenths, Akutagawa Hiko was fairly satisfied with his improved transformation technique.
Although the wind-up is long and requires the use of illusions, it is generally quite comprehensive in terms of details.
With the white mask adorned with black patterns fastened, Akutagawa Hikaru's aura instantly turned icy and chilling. His numerous battles in the arena were more than enough to support him in portraying this role.
You, Kudo and his wife, are like the mantis stalking the cicada, while I, the Root ninja, am the oriole behind. My true self is even more like God's perspective, with Conan at the bottom, you at the third level, the disguised ones at the fifth level, and the real body at the atmosphere. It's like a multi-layered con artist.
……
The Kudo couple had no idea what trouble their reminder had caused.
At that moment, Yukiko Kudo, now using the alias Fumiyo Edogawa, after giving a roundabout praise of herself and Yusaku Kudo, pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Conan's head.
However, Conan is not one to be threatened. Taking advantage of Yukiko Kudo's inattention, he tilted his round head to the side of the hand holding the gun, then stepped on the gas and turned the steering wheel.
Huang Que looked at the horrific scene of the multi-vehicle collision without any emotional fluctuation. In the city, there was heavy traffic and many pedestrians, and the speed of the cars was not fast. The fact that no one was injured or killed was not a difficult problem for the couple to solve.
What he's about to do will have a much greater impact.
A small figure took advantage of the chaos, opened the car door, and darted out.
Because they dared not gamble on the conscience of the woman suspected of being from the Black Organization, given her past record of bombing the Shinkansen.
Conan dared not escape into the crowd, and could only slip into secluded alleys, hoping to shake off the woman's pursuit.
After breaking free, poor Conan immediately thought of his two powerful teammates, only to be caught red-handed by Yusaku Kudo, who was lying in wait.
