The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"It's so rare to have such a leisurely time..."

"Where does this sentiment of yours come from?"

"Oh, isn't it? I feel like I haven't had a single day off since I joined... Honestly, I haven't even been this tired since I was a police officer."

"Ha, that's the hard part about working illegally."

"Hey, hey..." Zhu Fujingguang, who came out with a baking tray and was about to set up the tent, listened to their discussion and twitched his mouth. "Don't say such horrible things in such a beautiful place..."

There were children not far away, and there was even a guy who looked like an elementary school student but was actually a detective sneaking in. It would be inappropriate for others to hear such words.

"What's the matter?" Hagiwara Kenji turned around and took the ingredients from him with a smile. "The children are also busy with their own things and have no time to take care of us."

Although it is an organization called "The Phantom Thieves of Hearts", which sounds like a chuunibyou organization, from top to bottom, not counting Haibara Ai who is a pure research member, there are only two and a half serious minors among them.

In other words, the gatherings of their Phantom Thieves are purely team-building for adults, and children are unlikely to be interested in them.

"Life was certainly busy before," Matsuda Jinpei said lazily, sitting on a folding chair, cigarette in his mouth. "Finally, our affairs have come to an end. It's time to relax for a while."

"That's not the case," said Zhu Fujingguang as he placed the gas canisters. "The high intensity is mainly due to Tang Ze's fault, not Zero's."

"That's right," Hagiwara Kenji complained, propping up his chin. "After waking up, I was half asleep and kept following along. I thought this was a quest with some restrictions, like if you don't fulfill your wish within a certain timeframe, it might be canceled. But then Jinpei told me there's no such thing..."

Furuya Rei's outrageous wish was accurately captured by Tang Ze, an outrageous ability user, and thus began a long and difficult tug of war.

Although Karasawa always complains about the hopeless security situation in Tokyo, Matsuda Jinpei actually realizes that their problems are the main culprit for the Phantom Thieves' busyness. Karasawa probably says this because he doesn't want them to feel guilty or pressured about it.

It feels very considerate, and it would be even better if it could be directed at the right place.

"Karaze has always been a bit paranoid." Matsuda Jinpei's reaction was calm. "If he were more normal, he wouldn't do something like this..."

As for Rei Furuya's past, Rei Furuya himself may still not understand how Tang Ze discovered it. Now that they are very familiar with navigating the other world, they naturally understand how all this was exposed.

After coming into contact with Rei Furuya, Karasawa keenly discovered the problem with his identity and quickly tried to use the power of the Phantom Thief of Heart to solve this problem. However, as soon as he tested it, the information that Toru Amuro was a pseudonym would be easily seen through.

Shortly after that, Tang Ze contacted Hoshikawa Teru through the hall of Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi, and with the help of the identity of Goro Akechi, he obtained more information from the organization.

It’s hard to say whether it’s a coincidence or not, but the temple of Rei Furuya happens to be a cinema that records his past in every detail.

This cannot be blamed on Rei Furuya. When the whole process was happening, he was absolutely unaware of it. His special identity destined those past events to be erased. Those identity anchors belonging to Rei Furuya are the past that he can never forget or abandon.

As long as he met the staff in the hall once, Tang Ze understood everything.

"That's the truth." Even Zhu Fujingguang, who usually defended Tang Ze, could only say, "That's definitely not the way a normal person thinks."

"Ha, that's okay. I was actually wondering if this kid might be taking some medication and having age-related issues." Yi Dahang, who was carrying the remaining tables and chairs, overheard this and shook his head with a smile. "It's because of this incident that I'm sure he might still be a child."

"Because no one except children would be so imaginative?"

"Ah, that's about right. If it were people like us, knowing that we could use some power to fulfill other people's wishes, we definitely wouldn't dare to dream so big."

Normally speaking, when you hear that someone has lost friends or relatives, the normal thought process would be to help the other party investigate the truth, seek revenge, etc. Few people would think directly about such a bizarre route as "I want to resurrect his friends directly", right?

But Tang Ze did just that.

Just as Tang Ze himself said, he just wanted to help Furuya Rei and didn't even ask for his consent. He didn't regard it as help or a favor, because he just admired those videos after watching them, so he wanted to do it himself.

Tang Ze's words have a sense of "What does my destruction have to do with you?", and one can also see a glimpse of his somewhat paranoid inner self hidden beneath his calm surface.

"So, Tang Ze always emphasizes that being able to dream is a great thing."

Shimabukuro Kimie and Asai Narumi, who came down with tableware, naturally joined their conversation.

Although the Phantom Thieves can be clearly divided into two parts, "the black gloves picked up by Karasawa" and "the relatives and friends of Rei Furuya", because the latter appeared one after another and everyone has lived together for so long, there is no mutual exclusion and the relationship is still very good.

It's quite easy to join in the conversation at this level.

"Well, I heard what you said. Tang Ze said that he has tried very hard to activate the Desire Stone, but the Desire Stone has not responded at all, right?" Yi Dahang touched his chin.

Tang Ze's current life is the result of being framed by the organization, but apart from carrying this so-called case, he actually does not feel a big burden from it.

His current guardian is Rei Jōya, and the police who need to monitor him regularly have long had connections with the public security department.

He was doing very well in the organization, and the organization was convinced that Tang Zezhao was dead.

Apart from the fact that he has a criminal record in name only, Tang Ze's life is actually not stressful. Instead, the ones who feel stressed are the other people who are choked speechless by his series of jokes about juvenile criminals.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess what wish Tang Ze wants to make.

"He tried really hard," Asai Narimi nodded. "He even went to see Kiharakawa in prison."

Kiharakawa, who used to be a psychological counselor at Teitan High School, was beaten hard by Ireland after his attempt to cause trouble failed, and was finally handed over to the police.

Naturally, this insider who knew Tang Ze's deep identity also fell into the hands of the police.

——Their secret cell is becoming less and less sufficient as Tang Ze becomes more and more active, and Team Zero is already complaining a little.

After he tried again and again to revive his parents in vain, he went to find Kiharakawa.

After his change of heart, Kihara Kawaki was indeed much calmer. When Karasawa asked about his father's past, he just thought that Karasawa wanted to know more about his parents who were rarely together. He told him everything he knew and added a lot of information about Karasawa Kawaki that Karasawa didn't know.

At the end of the meeting, knowing that Kiharakawa had always misunderstood that Karasawa's ability was related to making wishes come true, he did not hesitate to risk exposing part of his ability and showed the medical notes that he had brought back from Kiharakawa's palace, which belonged to Karasawa Ikawa, and then asked Kiharakawa to try to make a wish and try to bring Karasawa Ikawa back.

To Tang Ze at the time, this was the most likely path to success.

After all, there is probably no one in the world who is more obsessed with Karasawa Ichikawa than Kiharakawa.

"Failed again?" Jinpei Matsuda, who had never heard of this, raised his eyebrows.

"Ah, yes, it still failed." Shimabukuro Kimie shook her head. "Perhaps this tricky method really can't move the Desire Stone. After all, it is the fruit of desire and dreams."

It is not an abstract desire, but one of the foundations of human existence in the true sense, covering survival and death.

Even if a person who loses this power survives, he or she will become brain-dead. It is the basic force that constitutes life to a certain extent.

It might be too difficult to use tricks to circumvent Tang Ze's own judgment.

"It's hard to say." Yi Dahang curled his lips, "I think you have misunderstood that boy's ability."

"Oh? Captain, what are your thoughts?" Matsuda Jinpei, who rarely heard Date Kou act in an analytical role, couldn't help but tease. "You've been a police officer for so long, Captain. You really have the aura of a seasoned detective now."

"If you have the guts, go tell Zero that." Date Kou, who wasn't the oldest of the five, snorted. "What I mean is, Tang Ze described this matter as extremely difficult, as if Zero's situation was extremely rare. This is not normal."

The scene when Furuya Rei made a wish was a story that happened before his birth, and Date Ko had no way of witnessing it.

But later, they had heard from earlier team members about this romantic drama that unfolded under the cherry trees.

A perfect cherry blossom snow, a coincidental game, a true miracle and magic.

Apart from the touching and emotional parts, one element that cannot be ignored is...

"That's right. Zero really didn't know about the Desire Stone at that time. Even after I was resurrected, Tang Ze still didn't tell him everything. So Zero even thought at first that I just didn't really die three years ago." Zhu Fujingguang also touched his chin and thought along his lines.

"In other words, was this a very accidental opportunity?" Hagiwara Kenji thought for a moment and asked uncertainly.

"Zero didn't seem to be putting in much effort," Matsuda Jinpei concluded bluntly. "While this is undoubtedly due to his immense willpower, it would be a bit disparaging to say that Karasawa lacks such willpower."

Tang Ze now seems to be all-powerful, but these are the fortunes he has saved up bit by bit, not something he created out of nothing.

When he first arrived in Tokyo, his abilities had not yet awakened and his future was bleak. The shadow of the organization, like a dark cloud, had been lingering over his life for who knows how many years.

He was able to create something from nothing, find a way out of the predicament, and explore the path to success. To say that Tang Ze does not have the same willpower as an undercover agent is to underestimate him.

The core of the problem lies in why such a person's sincere begging wish cannot move the Desire Stone.

Asai Narimi, who was helping to set the table, also stopped and thought with them: "That makes sense. So why is this happening?"

"...Could it be that the Desire Stone actually has a built-in 'cooling time'? Just like the abilities in certain games, it can't be used continuously?" Shimabukuro Kimie, who had been playing online games with Noah all day recently, pondered.

It wasn't a very appropriate metaphor, but it was indeed simple and easy to understand, and the others present couldn't help but think about it.

Asai Narumi turned his head and looked at the professor's Beetle parked on the other side.

As one of the only two people who can play the role of an adult, Tang Ze of course has to follow the group of children, even if the food on the table of the Phantom Thieves was actually taken out of his body.

At this moment, Tang Ze was holding a naughty child in each hand, helping the sweaty Dr. Agasa to arrange their tablecloths and ceiling. He was very busy and had a helpless but natural smile on his face, which looked younger than his age.

His identity is a disguise, and his personality is also full of disguised elements, but when he interacts with these people, his emotions and feelings are real.

As Matsuda Jinpei said, although Karasawa is a complicated guy, his wish is actually very pure, and he can be awakened by even the slightest movement.

"Maybe it's true? It's actually not that complicated." Thinking of something, Asai Narumi's eyes flashed slightly.

Everyone sitting around the table looked over.

"Mr. Furuya wasn't the only one who had the Desire Stone react. It was only after Tang Ze made a wish that he officially activated it. In fact, when Tang Ze first created this crystal, he tested it on his friends." Asai Narimi spoke slowly, "But he felt those wishes didn't warrant wasting the Desire Stone, so he rejected them."

It can’t be said that I refused, but I just didn’t spend the Desire Stone on it.

Although it is unclear what Karasawa's perspective is, Asai Narumi speculates that this may be a kind of "authorization" or "permission". The person making the wish is not Karasawa himself, but the thing belongs to Karasawa. Whether to use it depends on Karasawa's final decision.

"And while you were in the resurrection process, this kind of thing never happened again. In other words, only one mission can exist at a time."

The ability to resurrect several people is purely because the scope of Rei's wish itself is large and the idea is broad, not because he has started several tasks at the same time.

They indeed completed the resurrection process in a linear and sequential manner.

"Could it be that... Tang Ze can't make a wish because he already has a wish that's 'in progress'?"
