Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

Vermouth is gone.

Kitagawa Taki, however, felt a little awkward.

At least use your real face when you whisper!

It's really hard to bear with a man's face and the voice of a mature lady.

He was playing with the pocket pistol given to him by Vermouth, which was not even as big as his palm.

In half a month, he will graduate and return home, and he must take this pistol with him.

"The Immortal Secrets of Yuanchu" just happens to contain a Taoist method that can be used - the universe in the sleeve.

This method can be used on objects to form a space within the object. This space will expand as the cultivation level increases, but it can only store inanimate objects.

In fact, the "Yuanchu Xianjue" records the method of refining storage rings and storage bags, but in the Dharma-Ending Age, the corresponding refining materials are simply not available.

Kitagawa Taki is not sure whether these materials exist in the Detective Conan world, so he can only wait and verify them in the future.

……

Half a month later, Kitagawa Taki completed his studies in the United States and prepared to return home.

He has already mastered the "Universe in the Sleeve" skill and bought a bracelet to serve as a carrier, but the storage space is currently very limited, only the size of a palm, which is enough to hold a pocket pistol.

……

Tokyo Haneda Airport.

"Taki!"

A middle-aged man with bald white hair and a fat body was waving.

Beichuan Taki recognized him at a glance, "Doctor!"

As far as he could remember, he had always called Dr. Agasa "Doctor" since he was a child.

The two quickly found Dr. Agasa's car - a yellow Beetle.

"Doctor, you really don't want to change your car?"

As far as Kitagawa Taki remembers, Dr. Agasa has never changed his car.

Dr. Agasa touched his head and said, "Hahaha, I won't change my car."

Then he asked: "Taki, you will settle down in China after you come back this time, right?"

"Ah."

"Have you decided what kind of job you want to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

After thinking for a moment, Dr. Agasa said, "I remember you always wanted to be a teacher."

"Would you like to consider becoming a teacher? I have some connections at Teitan High School. As long as you can get a teaching certificate, I'll be fine."

Being a teacher was indeed one of the careers that his predecessor wanted to pursue, and Kitagawa Taki couldn't refuse Dr. Agasa's kindness.

If it's Teitan High School, maybe I could become Kudo Shinichi's teacher, which would be quite interesting.

However, he won't do this for too long, at most he will only make Kudo Shinichi smaller.

Gin disrupted the timeline with a single blow. By then, being an office worker might mean working every day, year-round...

2-22, Yoneka-cho.

As soon as he entered Beika Town, Kitagawa Taki felt that Beika Town was unusual - the spiritual energy in Beika Town was obviously richer than that in other cities.

Dr. Agasa's house is an oval-shaped building with a large area and a modern style.

The Kudo family house on the left has a completely different style. It is a two-story classical European-style building.

Dr. Agasa opened the door and said, "Taki, I have cleaned up your room."

Beichuan Taki nodded and thanked him: "Thank you, Doctor."

Inside the house, the first floor is the living room, living room and kitchen, and the stairs leading to the basement and second floor are spiral.

Having lived here for a while before, Beichuan Taki feels quite familiar with the environment here.

Dr. Agasa is still quite rich, but because he often conducts experiments and inventions, his expenses are also very high.

There are several workshops and laboratories of Dr. Agasa in the basement.

Walking into the front room, the decoration is unremarkable and very simple. The most eye-catching thing is a bookshelf filled with various books.

Kitagawa Taki glanced at the books and found that detective fiction was the most common, including The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the Poirot series, the novels of Edgar Allan Poe, and the complete works of Edogawa Ranpo...

This hobby overlaps with Kitagawa Taki's previous life. He also likes to read mystery novels and TV series, especially the Sherlock Holmes series.

He has read the Sherlock Holmes series of novels over and over again and has also watched many related TV series.

The most interesting thing is that he also found Kudo Yusaku's Dark Night Earl series of novels on the bookshelf.

Yusaku Kudo is a famous mystery novelist in the world of Detective Conan, and Dark Night Baron is his representative work. Kitagawa Taki is quite interested in it.

So, Kitagawa Taki took out the Dark Night Earl series of novels from the bookshelf and started reading. What he didn't expect was that he was hooked from the first reading...

------

In the next two months, Kitagawa Taki took the teacher's license and driver's license exams.

It is worth mentioning that Japan has right-hand drive cars, so at the beginning, Kitagawa Taki was not used to it. It took him a while to get used to the traffic rules.

At the same time, he consolidated his cultivation in the first level of the Qi training period and practiced three low-level Taoist techniques: fireball, water arrow, and ground spike.

During this period, he also learned some about the mysterious side of this world.

There are many Onmyoji, exorcists, shrine maidens and so on in Japan, as well as many urban legends and monster legends, but he has only seen ordinary ghosts in the past two months.

He also visited some less famous Yin-Yang masters and exorcists, but he only sensed the spiritual power that existed in their flesh and blood, and the so-called magic weapons were all ordinary stuff.

It's not that only cultivators have spiritual power, it's just that ordinary people cannot use their spiritual power. Only by practicing exercises to draw qi into the body and absorb spiritual energy into the dantian can they use spiritual power.

Although the spiritual power of ordinary people is fixed, it also varies in level. People with higher spiritual power are more likely to see ghosts.

……

One day, Kitagawa Taki found an old newspaper while cleaning the house.

The information in the newspaper caught his attention.

Beichuan Taki pointed to the information in the newspaper and asked, "Doctor, have you heard of this island?"

Dr. Agasa took the newspaper, glanced at it for a few seconds, and then suddenly realized, "Ah, it's that American island. It's said that there was an old lady on the island who became immortal by eating mermaid flesh, so the island is also called Mermaid Island. It caused quite a stir two years ago!"

Then, he changed the subject: "But those are just scams, most likely gimmicks made up by Mermaid Island to attract tourists."

Beichuan Taki complained: "Eating mermaid flesh and achieving immortality, are you sure this isn't Yaobikuni?"

Dr. Agasa laughed and said, "That's just a legend. How can immortality be possible?"

Kitagawa Taki laughed in his heart, it won't be long before the shrunken Kudo Shinichi will appear in front of you, that is also very unscientific!

Dr. Agasa asked curiously, "Taki, why are you asking this? Are you interested in this island?"

Beichuan Taki nodded and said, "I want to go and see it, just like traveling. Doctor, are you going?"

Dr. Agasa refused and said, "I won't go. I've made some progress on a recent study."

"By the way, Taki, if you want to go, you can go in two days. In two days, Mermaid Island will hold the Dugong Festival. This event is quite famous."

……

Immortality is one of the highest pursuits of those who practice Taoism.

Being immortal is relatively easy. As long as you have established a solid foundation, you can refine the anti-aging pill and achieve eternal youth.

Immortality, that is the realm that only appears in legends.

Beichuan Taki was not sure how long the lifespan was after reaching the Golden Elixir stage, but it was definitely a long way from immortality.

If one could really achieve immortality by eating mermaids, that would be truly incredible. No matter what, Kitagawa Taki had to go and see it.
