The atmosphere reached a stalemate.

“This… is a rather important situation.” John nodded stiffly.

"She likes tea and coffee, but doesn't like alcohol. Judging from our conversation, she also has a younger sister." Misato Katsuragi recalled the details of their interactions.

"That means God isn't the only one. There might be other gods in this world." John's eyes lit up.

One of the wisdoms that humanity has developed over so many years is "not putting all your eggs in one basket".

If there are other gods in this world, could we try to contact them?

Judging from the details of today's conversation, God still cares for humanity quite a bit.

"Also... that woman's relationship with the second candidate is unusual, and... she said that the world is not unique, that there are many worlds in the vast universe, and our world is just a speck of dust."

John's pupils contracted. Could this be the legendary multiverse?

Prior to this, human scientists had calculated through mathematical models that a multiverse might exist, but they had no way to prove it.

But now God himself has proven that the multiverse exists.

"This information is extremely important. Thank you very much, Commander Katsuragi Misato. What else did God say?"

"She can remove the corruption of the apostles, and perhaps... she can restore our world to its original state."

This is another major piece of news.

Judging from God's current performance, it is no exaggeration to describe Him as "omniscient and omnipotent".

“Commander Misato Katsuragi, thank you very much for writing this down. What reward would you like? I’ll give you anything I can.” John couldn’t suppress his smile.

One of the most fundamental differences between rulers and the ruled is the information gap.

John was the first person in the world to have this intelligence, and he could use it to make unlimited profits for himself.

Misato Katsuragi is eager to try.

"Really, any reward is fine? Then I can tell you." Misato Katsuragi's face was full of surprise.

"of course."

"Then... could the organization help me pay off my mortgage and car loan?" Misato Katsuragi asked excitedly.

For a moment, John thought he had misheard.

"Mortgage and...car loan...is that all you're asking for? Actually...you can ask for more," John said.

"Then... can I get reimbursed for the cosmetics, clothes and jewelry I bought this month?" Misato Katsuragi was incredibly excited.

"..." John felt that his decision to support Misato Katsuragi as commander was incredibly wise.

"Just send me the bill."

"Long live!"

After John left, Misato Katsuragi let out a long sigh.

Surely no one really thinks the old man would agree to any outrageous request they make?

John has already left by helicopter.

“Miri Katsuragi! What a clever woman. She knows when to play dumb and when to be clever. I didn’t misjudge her.” John smiled.

The two of them have already seen through each other, but it's not time to tear each other apart yet.

“Second candidate.” John muttered to himself as he opened Asuka’s file.

Although her background is somewhat tragic, she is just an ordinary little girl. Why would she be favored by the gods?

“Why don’t we try to allocate more resources to her…” John thought for a moment, but then rejected the idea: “Humans can’t see what God is thinking. Let’s just keep things as they are. At least that way we won’t make any mistakes.”

……

Late at night.

"Why did you crawl into my bed? Even if we're mother and daughter, we should keep our distance!" Asuka looked disgusted, but she still let Yamabuki Hanajin crawl in.

"Don't be shy. Come into Mommy's arms and be as affectionate as you like."

"Sigh! I always feel like my IQ drops when I'm with you every day," Asuka said listlessly.

"We won't be together every day. I'll be leaving at midnight tonight and may not be back for a few days, but things will be different then." Yamabuki Hanajin hugged Asuka like she was hugging a large doll.

"How will I recognize you if you change your appearance?" Asuka asked.

Yamabuki Hanajin is just a cowlick on her head: "People may change every day, but cowlicks never change. As long as you see this cowlick, you'll know that I'm back."

"Such a casual feeling!"

"Shouldn't life be lived more casually? Okay, it's already 8 pm. If I don't go to sleep now, I won't be able to get up tomorrow. Good night."

"Goodnight." Asuka leaned against Yamabuki Hanajin's chest.

This is the first time I've felt this crowded yet cozy atmosphere.

"Makka Pakka! Hiss~~~"

"Ugh~ At your age, still trying to act cute, how disgusting."

Chapter 87: Miss~~~Give me my foot~~~

Before dawn, Yamabuki Hanajin was already awake.

"Hmm...did I drink too much coffee and tea yesterday? I need to go to the bathroom." Yamabuki Hanajin didn't know what time it was. She reached out and found that the space next to her was empty. Asuka wasn't beside her, which meant it was at least after midnight.

"Even though I'm in bed, where is everyone? Why is there no one next to me?" Yamabuki Hanajin curiously groped around to make sure there was no one else in her bed.

"System, did you cut corners? You left me to sleep all alone." Yamabuki Hanajin couldn't help but complain.

The system is silent; it seems to have fallen asleep.

There was no other way but to find a toilet first. Yamabuki Hanajin noticed that she was wearing a thin nightgown today, and judging from her slender hands and feet, she should be a young girl.

She was just about to get out of bed when she suddenly lost her balance and fell face-first to the ground.

"Ouch! What happened?" Yamabuki Hanajin looked down and realized that she was missing a leg.

Not only that, but he only has half of his field of vision, meaning that he is blind in one eye.

On a chair not far away, her clothes, prosthetic limbs, artificial eye, and a cane were neatly laid out. Seeing these items, Yamabuki Hanajin realized who she had become today.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a girl yawned as she walked in. The hallway light dimly illuminated the bedroom. Yamabuki Hanajin, full of expectation, stretched out her hands to the girl for help: "Miss~~~ Give me my feet! Miss~~~ Give me my feet~~~"

The girl who walked in froze for a second, then suddenly exploded! In the middle of the night, she had only gone to the bathroom, and when she returned to her room, she suddenly saw something indescribable lying on the floor, reaching out and speaking to her in a pitiful and resentful voice.

"Miss~~~ Give me back my foot~~~"

The girl was trembling all over. This was definitely a paranormal event. What should she do? Run? No, her legs were too weak to move.

"Miss~ Miss~"

That thing crawling over from the ground! All the girl's fear finally turned into a scream: "Aaaaaah! Conan!!!"

......

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I mistook you for a ghost!" the girl kept apologizing.

This is a very beautiful girl, and the most distinctive thing is that she has a horn growing on her forehead!

At a glance, Yamabuki Hanajin recognized the girl in front of her as Ran Mouri, the female protagonist of Detective Conan.

And next to him was a little boy wearing glasses, the famous Grim Reaper elementary school student, Conan Edogawa.

Yamabuki Hanakami looked at today's system interface.

Name: Yamabuki Hanajin (Iwanaga Kotoko)

Gender: Unknown (female)

Age: Unknown (20-year-old female college student.)

Ability: An everlasting ahoge (even after becoming a princess, the ahoge will still stand upright.)

Special Ability: God of Wisdom for Yokai. Can see demons, monsters, and ghosts.

Note: You may not believe in Conan Edogawa, but you must always believe in the Queen of Jokes. Let's have a thrilling and entertaining fictional mystery! Try and fool the Grim Reaper elementary school student!

Yamabuki Hanajin gave a bright and cute smile: "I'm the one who should apologize. I was half asleep and went into the wrong room, which startled you! I'm really sorry. But, could you hand me that prosthetic leg over there?"

Ran Mouri handed over the prosthetic leg, and Hanako Yamabuki skillfully fitted it.

"What's in this little box? Is it cosmetics?" Ran Mouri curiously opened the small box next to her prosthetic leg, only to find an eye staring straight at her.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Sorry, I scared you again! My right eye is fake too." Yamabuki Hanajin took the eyeball out of the saline solution, cleaned it, and put it back in its socket.

"I was kidnapped by thugs when I was eleven years old. Although I was rescued, my left leg was cut off and my right eye was gouged out. I've gotten used to it over the years," said Yamabuki Hanajin casually.

Conan sensed something amiss: "Has the culprit been caught? My sister's family must be very wealthy, right? Was it for money or an enemy? This must have been a big case back then! Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Conan! Don't talk nonsense!" Ran covered Conan's mouth. What if he brought up someone's sad story and made them angry?

"They didn't catch him. I don't remember what happened back then. I heard it became an unsolved case." Yamabuki Hanajin picked up her cane and bowed slightly with an elegant posture.

"Conan, how do you know this young lady's family is very rich?" Ran asked curiously.

"Look at this lady's clothes, they're all very high-end designer brands, and the prosthetic leg she uses is from the best brand in the world right now. Ordinary families definitely can't afford such high-end things. And her demeanor is elegant; you can tell at a glance that she's received a good education... Of course, I'm just a kid, just talking nonsense." Conan only remembered halfway through his sentence that he still needed to maintain his elementary school student identity, so he immediately used his child identity as a cover.

"By the way! It must be very inconvenient for the little girl to move around! Where are you going? I'll take you there." Xiaolan said with a face full of sympathy.

"I'm already twenty years old this year, a full-fledged adult," said Yamabuki Hanajin with a smug look on her face.

"A college student! He looks only eleven years old." Xiaolan stared at Yamabuki Hanajin in shock.

"Let's not talk about age anymore, how about we go to the bathroom together?" Yamabuki Hanajin felt that if they didn't go to the bathroom soon, she would have to help wash the blankets.

Judging from the soft, large bed, Yamabuki Hanajin had deduced that this was not the Mouri Detective Agency, because Mouri Kogoro didn't have that much money.

Sure enough, after leaving the room, I found that this was a hotel, but it was very deserted and there were hardly any people.

He figured he must have some clues on him, so he fumbled around and finally pulled an invitation from his pocket.

"Island Hotel Experience Voucher: To create a thrilling atmosphere, this hotel is specially built on an isolated island, and all contact with the outside world will be cut off during this period. Please enjoy yourselves on the island."

Yamabuki Hanakami silently threw the invitation into the trash can.

"Crack!!!"

A sudden clap of thunder sounded outside the window, startling Xiaolan so much that she shrank back.

A torrential downpour began.

The buffs are already stacked up: an isolated island, a hotel, a rainy night, and communications cut off. It would be a shame if two of them didn't die, given the atmosphere they've created.

"Xiao Lan, do you know what kind of people stay in hotels?"

Xiaolan nodded: "I heard there's a president of a big company..."

"That son of a bitch is doomed," Yamabuki Hanakami quipped.

Being the company president is the most dangerous job in the entire series; as soon as they appear, they are guaranteed to die.

"Oh, and there's also the daughter of a wealthy family."

The second most dangerous profession has emerged. Apart from Sonoko Suzuki, all the wealthy young ladies who appear are either poisoned by their best friends or assassinated by their lovers.

Guess how many will die tonight?

Chapter 88: Chicken Soup is Here, Drink It While It's Hot

At four in the morning, the heavy rain was still falling.

Yamabuki Hanajin and Ran came out of the restroom together.

"Let's go back together, I'm a little scared to go alone." Xiaolan helped Yamabuki Hanajin up.

She was a gentle and kind girl. Yamabuki Hanajin only had one leg, which made it very inconvenient for her to go up and down stairs, so he wanted to take Yamabuki Hanajin back to her room.

But if he said it directly, he was afraid of hurting the girl's self-esteem, so he helped Yamabuki Hanajin in this way.

Everyone says Xiaolan is an angel, and seeing her today, I can confirm that the reputation is well-deserved.
