Conan: The Heart Thief

"Behold my moon power!"

"The moon shines, bloom!"

Kudo Yukiko's moonlight was like a whirlpool, constantly absorbing Lin Xiao's energy. Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and resisted silently. As a demon, he also had to save face, so how could he let Sailor Moon succeed so easily?

"Demon, are you still resisting? Crown of the Moon, attack!"

The power of the moon was strong in Kudo Yukiko's delicate body, and her whole body was holy. She beat Lin Xiao, who was playing the demon, into a miserable state.

Chapter 143

As Kudo Yukiko...gradually fell... Lin Xiao was not much better, his eyes went black, and a small white ghost came out of his mouth. Sailor Moon, who had used up all the power of the moon, fell down involuntarily, unconscious. The cruelty of the battle had exceeded the threshold of the brain, and directly turned Sailor Moon into a fool who only knew how to pursue victory, without a self.

The defeated demon gradually recovered his strength. He was more rational and slow, but he could maintain his sanity and wake up more quickly. The demon glanced at the seriously injured Sailor Moon. He gently hugged Sailor Moon and slapped him twice to wake him up.

Sailor Moon felt some pain, then came to his senses and covered his face with his hands, looking aggrieved.

"Ouch... it hurts! Why did you hit me?"

"I am a demon now, understand!" The demon will not be polite to Sailor Moon. No matter how Sailor Moon pretends to be cute, it is useless. "Damn Sailor Moon, now it's my turn to fight back."

Sailor Moon panicked: "How did you recover so quickly!

Huh? No, don't...

please……"

"Die, Sailor Moon."

“Ahhh…Help…”

Sailor Moon, Danger...

……

"Jingle Bell!"

The day's classes passed very quickly. Lin Xiao gave up being a plagiarist because it was too hard. He practiced the Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis instead. Practicing the Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis did not require the help of a personality mask and mastered the Five Supernatural Powers. Wasn't this better than being a plagiarist?

Because he possesses the personality mask of the Great Abbot, Lin Xiao has mastered the complete practice of the Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis.

Start with counting your breaths, just remembering the inhalation and not the exhalation, or just remembering the inhalation and not the exhalation; then move on to observing your breathing, you know when your breath is long and when it is short, and your mind is free from any worries; at this time, you can see the unstable Zen image with your eyes closed, ignore the Zen image and continue to observe your breathing until the Zen image is transformed into a stable similar image, and the breathing and the similar image merge into one.

Turn your attention to the similitude. At this time, you will be able to observe the breath and the similitude merging into one light. Continue to observe your breath.

Take breathing as the object of attention and follow the steps of searching, observing, joy, happiness, and one-pointedness of mind to enter the first level of meditation.

After entering the first jhana, continue to practice the four mindfulnesses with breathing as the object of attention. Practice the mindfulness of the body to enter the second jhana; practice the mindfulness of feelings to enter the third and fourth jhanas; practice the mindfulness of the mind to enter the concentration of the infinite space and the infinite consciousness; practice the mindfulness of dharma to enter the concentration of nothingness and the concentration of neither perception nor non-perception...

The sound of the piano was melodious, and the rhythm was brisk and pleasant to the ears, causing all the students of Teitan who heard the bell to cheer. They all had bright smiles on their faces, and then began to pack up and go home for school.

As soon as school was over, Yuanzi took Xiaolan and Lin Xiao and got into her private car.

"What happened in the garden? Why was he so anxious to take Xiaolan and me home that he didn't even participate in club activities?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

"That's right... I didn't even have time to ask for leave from the karate club!" Xiaolan felt troubled.

"Kaito Kidd is back again!" Sonoko said excitedly.

Xiaolan was surprised: "Eh? Didn't the Osaka Prefectural Police announce at a press conference that Kaito Kid was killed by the self-turned-in Scoobing?"

"So...it was a misunderstanding, Kaito Kidd didn't die at all!" said Sonoko.

"Why are you so excited about Kaito Kidd's return?" Xiaolan was puzzled.

"The three of us are members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. It will be fun if we work together to catch Kaito Kid, right?" Sonoko's eyes lit up.

"Sonoko, you are also a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts!" Xiaolan was surprised again.

"Yes."

Xiaolan looked at Lin Xiao and asked, "Mr. Lin, how many people are there in the Phantom Thieves of Heart?"

Lin Xiao did not hide it and said, "There are five of us now. In addition to the three of us, there are also Kudo Yukiko and Sato Miwako."

"Eh? Except for Lin Jun, they are all girls."

"Yes. Except for me as the leader, the other members are limited to girls. There are only female idols in the Phantom Thief Idol, no male idols."

In view of this, Lin Xiao has a bold idea: to develop all the Phantom Thief idols into his harem, with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts being fake and Lin Xiao's harem being real.

After some time, the three came to Suzuki's house.

The three of them sat in an elegant tea room, with high-end black tea and various Western desserts on the tea table.

Yuanzi took out a note mysteriously and showed it to Lin Xiao and Xiaolan.

"Is there anything strange about this note?" Xiaolan frowned, not understanding what Yuanzi meant.

Sonoko retorted: "This is not a simple piece of paper, it's a notice!"

"Notice letter?" Xiaolan looked confused.

Lin Xiao picked up the cup of red tea, took a sip, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Yuanzi pointed to the letter in her hand and explained, "Actually, this notice was sent by Kaito Kidd. He sent me a notice to steal my family's heirloom!"

Lin Xiao laughed: "Kaito Kidd, specializes in stealing things from the Suzuki family."

Sonoko said: "This time, Kaito Kid is targeting my family's heirloom."

Xiaolan asked: "Yuanzi, your heirloom, what is that?"

"My family's heirloom is called the Black Star, also known as BLACKSTAR. It is the largest black pearl in the world and is also a family heirloom that my family has collected for hundreds of years!"

"Since my great-grandfather collected the Black Star, our Suzuki family has been developing better and better. This is why the Black Star is called the Suzuki family heirloom!!"

"Uncle Jiroji also founded the Suzuki Group with my father decades ago after keeping this gem in his home... My father always said that this black star was the treasure that brought good luck to my family."

Sonoko patiently explained the Suzuki family heirloom.

Xiaolan suddenly realized: "I understand. The damn Kaito Kidd has set his sights on the treasures of Sonoko's family again. Lin Xiao and I will definitely help you catch him and send him to jail."

"Great!" Sonoko smiled slightly, "Right now, the Beika Museum is gathering famous gems from all over the world and holding a jewelry exhibition. And my father plans to exhibit the Dark Star as well, so you guys can come along then. Use the Dark Star as bait and catch Kaito Kidd!"

Lin Xiao calmly glanced at the notice letter in his hand, and a line of printed words came into his sight.

Aprilfool

When the moon separates the two

I will become a dark star

Riding the Waves

Come

Ghost Kid

Chapter 144 It's not easy to have the best of both worlds.

At the tea party at the Suzuki family, Xiaolan and Sonoko were discussing Kaito Kid. In fact, the two girls were more concerned about Lin Xiao's opinion and were waiting for him to speak.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi looked at Lin Xiao with hope, but Lin Xiao poured a bucket of cold water on the two girls.

"Look, the date on the notice is April Fool's Day. Given Kaito Kid's character, he would never actually steal."

"Eh?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko were stunned and looked at the date marked. It was indeed April Fool's Day.

Xiaolan: "So, Kaito Kidd didn't actually plan to steal the jewels from Sonoko's family?"

Sonoko: "What exactly does Kaito Kidd want to do?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko looked confused.

"Kaito Kid is just playing this trick to fool those idiot detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department. Of course, this doesn't mean that Kaito Kid doesn't intend to steal the jewels from the Sonoko family. Kaito Kid is just bluffing on purpose and will steal again on another day."

After Lin Xiao's explanation, Xiaolan and Yuanzi finally understood that Kaito Kid was just performing a meaningless clown show. What's worse is that the Metropolitan Police Department always cooperates with Kaito Kid's performance and puts on the clown mask on their faces to highlight Kaito Kid's style.

Xiaolan: "That is to say, Kaito Kidd will not steal on April Fool's Day, April 1st, but will choose another day."

Sonoko: "When is the next date?"

"I think that when the Suzuki Group holds its 60th anniversary party, the Black Star will be exhibited on the cruise ship where the party is held, and Kaito Kid will take advantage of that time to steal the Black Star."

The Suzuki Group is about to celebrate its 60th anniversary and will hold a celebratory party on a cruise ship. This news has long been made public in the media.

"How boring. We have to wait until the 60th anniversary." Sonoko pouted. She didn't care about the Dark Star at all. She just wanted to catch Kaito Kid with her friends.

"Sonoko, don't say that. We can do other things." Xiaolan was not very interested in catching Kaito Kidd.

"That's true!" Yuanzi thought for a moment and raised her index finger, "Tomorrow is the weekend, let's go shopping together."

"What a good idea!" Girls love shopping, and Xiaolan is no exception. She clapped her hands and said, "Mr. Lin, you will come with us too."

Yuanzi nudged Lin Xiao with her elbow and said, "Of course, Mr. Lin will be responsible for carrying our bags tomorrow."

Lin Xiao didn't mind accompanying Xiaolan and Yuanzi shopping, but he was curious about something else.

"Why do I feel like it's already the weekend after only one day of classes?"

Xiaolan narrowed her eyes: "It's because it's the weekend!"

Yuanzi chuckled and said, "Mr. Lin's sense of time is still so weak that he can't tell the date at all."

Lin Xiao: “…”

……

The next day, the three of them met at Beika Station and took a train to Shimokitazawa.

Shimokitazawa is commonly known as a small neighborhood located in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. It is small in size and is mainly populated by clothing stores and coffee bars. It is a gathering place for young people such as students and is a very suitable place for walking and shopping.

In addition, there are numerous performance spaces such as the "Honda Theater" and "Station-mae Theater", small theaters such as the "Short Film Cinema Tollywood", and live houses such as "Shelter" and "Shimokitazawa Yagenri", which are places for the spread of youth culture. Therefore, this place is famous for being the "City of Drama" and "City of Music", and it is a place where young people pursue their dreams.

After shopping, you can also watch a performance together. It’s a good place.

Xiaolan put on a navy blue dress, and her healthy legs stretched out from under the dress. She was a gentle high school girl with long hair.

Sonoko wore an elegant brown wide coat with a matching skirt. Her hair was carefully permed to make it fluffy, like a replica of Miyano Shiho.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi, one on the left and one on the right, held Lin Xiao's hands respectively.
