Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 328 Death Note
A new day begins.

Kido Detective Agency is getting a long-awaited deep cleaning.

Sonoko called Ran and Conan over, and even Rei Furuya made a rare appearance.

“Mr. Kido,” Furuya Rei approached Gao Mo privately for a question, “did you notice anything wrong with this trip to Hakodate?”

"The problem? I think it's great, just a bit unlucky."

Gao Mo stopped reading and looked at Furuya Rei with a question in his eyes.

"Why are you asking about this suddenly?"

"I'm asking for a friend, the one with glasses," Furuya Rei said, betraying his subordinate. "Actually, there have been a lot of strange accidents abroad recently, which are very similar to the SKJ865 plane crash. He suspects it was a terrorist attack."

"A terrorist attack? I didn't notice that," Gao Mo shook his head. "At that time, I was only thinking about how to land the plane safely. I didn't have the energy to think about anything else. I only found out that Kaito Kid was on the plane afterward."

To be honest, I was really scared, but in order not to cause panic, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead..."

Rei's lips were slightly stiff.

After realizing it was difficult to get information out of Gao Mo, he simply joked, "Boss Kido is too modest. I heard that even airlines want to hire you. Your piloting skills are so good that even experienced captains are ashamed of themselves. I wonder where you learned them?"

"What driving skills do I have? I just read a few books and was forced into it."

Gao Mo remained expressionless.

You can't exactly say you learned it from this guy.

It's not exactly a lie; he did learn it from books.

After seeing Furuya Rei off, Gao Mo lightly tapped the table with his finger.

Even the police have started to pay attention to Death. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
What he feared most was that Death would deliberately pin those trivial matters on him.

After all, there have been quite a few bizarre deaths around him.

"call!"

A cold wind blew through the room, and the notebook, seemingly from the abyss, reappeared in Gao Mo's palm.

The key point is that the Grim Reaper's artifact is indeed in his possession.

The rules of death outside are at most equivalent to a rebellious spirit.

Gao Mo rubbed his brows.

No, he has to deal with the Death Rules quickly.

Having a physical form would be too dangerous for him, and he didn't know if the other party could grow as fast as he could.

The question is how to solve it...

He wasn't quite sure what the other person's current situation was.

Is it a complete fusion with Takato Yoichi's body, remote control, or simply using Takato Yoichi's body as a temporary container?

Gao Mo's silent observation notes.

He learned a lot of information through this notebook, but now that it has been materialized, there's been little reaction.

Turning to the title page, Gao Mo hesitated whether to write down Gao Yuanyao's name, but found that he couldn't retrieve any information about Gao Yuanyao in his mind.

Takato Yoichi is already dead, so it is impossible to designate his death again.

Well, then he doesn't need to make a choice.

He didn't want to start using a notebook to kill people unless absolutely necessary.

"The rules of death..."

Gao Mo closed his eyes, trying to find a way out of the predicament from his memories.

In the work "Death Note", aside from those notebook holders who become puppets, even the so-called Grim Reapers can actually die.

It seems that death, if it breaks the rules, will turn into sand.

The notebook he now possesses is not of the same style, but it does have similarities.

Is it possible to use the rules to kill Death?

But what are the rules...?

Gao Mo's ears twitched slightly. Noticing someone approaching from outside, he quickly got up and put away his notebook.

"Kido boy," the man with the mustache chuckled as he entered the study, "how about we all go out for a meal together on such a beautiful day?"

Pushing open the study door, the man with the mustache was envisioning how to get Gao Mo to treat him to a meal when suddenly he found himself facing an incredibly steep cliff.

The floor beneath my feet collapsed and I was thrown into the air, about to fall.

"Mom!"

The man with the mustache turned green instantly, jumped up and ran away frantically, but in the blink of an eye he saw a striped tiger blocking the exit of the corridor.

"tiger?!"

"What tiger?"

Xiao Lan, carrying a bucket of water, looked at her father, who had peed himself in a panic, with a displeased expression.

"Dad, can you please stop making a mess? I just mopped the floor!"

"Oh no, Xiaolan!" The man with the mustache shook his head, then, realizing his daughter was blocking his way, he stammered and pointed behind him, "The study has turned into a cliff, it's all collapsed..."

"What cliff? What? Everything collapsed?" Xiaolan was even angrier. "Dad, have you been drinking again?"

"Huh?" Seeing Xiaolan start to roll up her sleeves, the man with the mustache shuddered and woke up. He turned around and found that everything in the corridor was normal.

"Strange, just now..."

"Mouri," Gao Mo said, walking out of the study with a feather duster, "you just said you were going to treat us to a meal, that's rare. What big case have you taken on this time?"

"When did I say I was going to treat everyone?"

The man with the mustache rubbed his eyes, somewhat doubting himself.

"That's strange, am I really drunk?"

After Gao Mo briefly tested his new ability, he ignored the man with the mustache and turned to Xiao Lan and the others, asking, "By the way, Xiao Lan, the University Hall editorial department said they're having a celebration party and going skiing at a resort. Do you guys want to come along?"

"Huh? Is that okay?" Xiaolan reverted to her obedient girl demeanor, saying shyly, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"It's nothing, there are plenty of spots anyway, and it'll be more lively with more people."

"Vacation? Skiing?"

The man with the mustache immediately forgot his terrifying experience.

"Hehe, it's not bad. I wonder if there are any pretty female college students."

"Hmph," Ran's mood instantly soured. "Kito-nii, can we not bring this guy?"

Gao Mo didn't seem to care: "Are you sure you want to leave Mao Li home alone?"

"Uh, never mind." Xiaolan sighed inwardly.

She could already imagine her father letting loose at home.

I'd rather go skiing.

"Then it's settled. Let's get ready and leave tomorrow morning."

Gao Mo glanced at the garden being diligently cleaned on the other side, thought for a moment, and then put an extra layer of insurance on everyone present, including Conan.

Sonoko, Ran, Conan, Mustache, and Furuya Rei weeding the yard, totaling 500 stars.

It's hard not to feel the pinch when you consume so much at once; you only dare to be so extravagant after a bumper harvest.

But it was all worth it. His struggle against death was fraught with danger, and he didn't want to experience something like this plane crash again.

"What are you talking about?" Professor Agasa emerged from the restroom, feeling inexplicably isolated. "What vacation?"

Oh, and there's also a PhD.

Gao Mo reluctantly took out insurance again.

Number of stars - 100.
Storage pool: 1400

It's really short-lived, but thankfully the alternate account is still working hard, and the number of stars should increase further.

Gao Mo mentally counted on his fingers.

Hattori and Kazuha's side still have 200 left.

Koizumi Akako helped me a lot, so I'll leave 100.

As for Sato, Takagi, and Inspector Megure... we really can't afford that. There are too many people, and it's not the right time to need them yet.

Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori... we'll talk about that later.

Protect those closest to you who are most vulnerable to danger first.

Then there's Gin... Although he's an enemy character, we might have to keep 100 of him alive, lest he die inexplicably like Takato Yoichi.

So, the remaining 1400 isn't quite enough.

Gao Mo glanced at the mustachioed family out of the corner of his eye.

Why bring this family along?

Of course, I wanted to try my luck.

The more time passed, the more he understood how rare it was to find a spirit. Not all the dead would become ghosts, and even if they did, it wouldn't last long.

He's ravaged Tokyo this time; I wonder when it will be ready to recover.

He needs to find a way to earn some extra money to make up for his losses.

The mustachioed family is perfect for getting their money back; even if they're just passing by, they'll be forcibly dragged into a murder case.

You can usually get 5 stars or more for each murder case, and if you're lucky, you might even trigger some last wish.

Finally, there are those professional books.

He tried it yesterday, and the Divine Eye can copy the skills from the professional book, directly skipping the learning and absorption steps.

Now he doesn't have to worry about not finishing reading all the professional books.

The next five tiers require four professions, which means you have more skills to learn and more choices.

"Can I bring the kids?" Professor Agasa scratched his head sheepishly. "Ayumi and the others have always wanted to go skiing, and this is such a great opportunity..."

"It's okay, that's fine."

Gao Mo turned around and glanced at Xiao Ai, who was pretending not to care.

There are 3 little ones left.

Another 300 stars...
