Chapter 34

The "victims" are gathered together, and the "culprit" is also present.

Just to discuss the final solution to the unfortunate incident together.

"Can you explain your technique clearly now?"

Gojo Satoru finally put away his neck and buttoned the collar again.

It wasn't for the "ordinary person" Kudo Shinichi who walked out, nor was it for Angelica's request, just because... while Angelica responded coldly to Fushiki Shir, he inexplicably felt like he was being raped by something. A quick, hard stab to the heart.

It was obvious that when Angelica faced him, her tone was gentle, her attitude was cordial, and she was so sincere that it was impossible to raise any questions.

Even Gojo Satoru himself felt at the time that such a response, no matter how angry, would disappear under Angelica's calm gaze.

But.

When Angelica spoke to Fushikiji indifferently, and could even be said to be "confronting" with him, Gojo Satoru suddenly came to his senses and reflected on his previous gaffe.

At that moment of realization, a kind of embarrassment and shame that rarely appeared in Gojo Satoru's heart swept over his body.

For this reason, he even had some fleeting numbness in his hands and feet.

After the embarrassment and humiliation, there was a place in Gojo Satoru's heart that was like a punctured balloon, constantly leaking air and slowly deflating, making him look a little listless and making him unwilling to go back for a while. Look at Angelica's gentle and tolerant eyes.

...Why isn't she angry?

When she was clearly mocking Fushihe Shi'er, she didn't show any hesitation at all because of his strength and ferocity.

"Spell..."

The two "people" sat down and became a "confrontation". Angelica sat alone opposite the "victims".

She clasped her hands and placed them gently on her knees, tilting her head with a thoughtful expression.

Technique... this kind of thing...

Because Jotaro Kujo "urgently" sent information about the Stand's ability, Angelica is now not sure whether what she possesses is the so-called "Stand's ability" , or the "skill" recognized by these teenagers.

But no matter which one it is, she thinks that Kujo Jotaro's reminder is quite reasonable -

[The ability to stand in is the biggest secret of a stand user]

[A secret that must not be revealed to others easily]

This kind of thing may have something to do with trust. relationship, but it does not entirely depend on trust.

"If I have to make it clear..." Angelica shook her head, "There are some places that I don't know yet..."

Unlike the gifted teenagers who were born with awakened spells and knew how to use them, Anjie Rika believes that her current situation is more similar to that of Jotaro Kujo: they are both exploring the methods of using abilities and the limits of their abilities step by step in the process of constantly trying and using abilities.

The only difference is.

Jotaro Kujo seems to have found the limit of his Stand's ability, which he calls [Platinum Star], while Angelica is still in the exploratory stage and has not even been able to fully master the various functions of the badge.

"Your efficiency is too low——!!!"

"Forget it, please tell me all the current situation, and we will analyze it together." As

soon as Gojo Satoru finished complaining, Kudo Shinichi sighed softly, His tone was actually calmer than that of the "big boy" next to him who was a few years older.

This guy……!

Gojo Satoru subconsciously stared at Kudou Shinichi, not knowing it. At first glance, he found that this middle school student had a strange "aura" about him.

Although I don't know if it can be regarded as a technique, it is obvious that he is definitely not an ordinary person.

...No wonder...

which ordinary person would rush into someone else's home in a panic, wearing ill-fitting clothes that smell of alcohol, and secretly eavesdrop while changing clothes?

If Angelica hadn't been the owner of the villa, Gojo Satoru himself would have been an uninvited guest. Otherwise, Gojo Satoru could have judged for himself - when he smelled the smell of wine, he had already reached out and threw the person out, far away. of.

"In short... the current situation is like this..."

Kudo Shinichi's eyes were as bright and moist as any young man's, but in addition, they also contained an indescribable power. ——People can’t help but trust, and people can’t help but recruit them truthfully.

……Wait a minute……!

Angelica couldn't help but speak for most of the sentence under the gaze of those eyes, and then she slowly realized: Why do I have to tell this high school detective so much? ! Isn’t this a clear explanation of one’s abilities?

There is simply no secret at all!

"I see."

"In other words, you can't control your special ability now. As long as your left hand touches anything, the object being touched will change."

"But the problem is, the abnormality in us is How did it happen?"

It's not like Angelica hasn't thought about this.

"My guess is that you all carry badges that have not been [triggered]. Those badges have not disappeared like the badges that track your whereabouts, but have been retained."

"According to my understanding, all the badges that have been retained, Now they have all been forcibly triggered."

As she said this, Angelica thought of something and turned to look at Gojo Satoru, who was blinking again for no apparent reason: "Maybe you can contact Riko Tennai and have a look at her. Is there any problem with the suitcase? "

After all, the bomb hidden in the suitcase was perfectly solved by the explosive ordnance disposal team, and the innocent suitcase seemed to be returned to its original owner.

After Angelica looked back, the badge that mysteriously appeared on the lever also did not trigger.

"Really-?!"

Gojo Satoru, who has super mobility, immediately got the answer from his mobile phone: "You said your suitcase suddenly burst open early in the morning?"

"It was like someone was using it. Like a knife cutting a cake into two complete pieces?"

"And I can't control the triggered badge now."

This is the first crisis situation where Angelica's badge is out of control. If she wants to restore these unlucky people to normal, she may not be able to do so with her current abilities.

"According to your statement, you suspect that the loss of control is related to the previous use of abilities?"

The reality is indeed annoying, but Kudo Shinichi did not show the slightest bit of discouragement. Instead, he felt vaguely excited about facing up to the difficulties. .

"Then can you describe in detail, what are the same characteristics that appeared in the first five uses of the ability?"

"The similarities..." Angelica still resisted backtracking, as if it was instinctive. , the subconscious resisted the mysterious urging from Kudo Shinichi, "It all involves life and death, right?"

"Life and death? Can you please make it more clear? Is it survival or death?"

... What a weird question. Law……

Angelica dispersed her thoughts for a moment, but soon came back to her senses: "What's more, escaping death?"

In the dark, Angelica had a terrible intuition after the hourglass turned upside down: The ability to backtrack cannot be used again until the hourglass is turned upside down again!

Instinct warned her that from now on, she must cherish life and stay away from danger!

But...if there is no way to go back...how can she find out what went wrong, and how can she "fill up" the hourglass on the right?

Relying purely on the reasoning and analysis of the seemingly reliable teenager in front of you?

"So, after you lost control, have you tried the same practice?" Kudo Shinichi didn't like non-scientific fields, but when unscientific fields were related to reasoning, he felt an indescribable sourness from them. Cool.

"No." Angelica smiled helplessly, "Because, it can't be done."

"That's it..."

Kudo Shin nodded, not paying attention to Angelica's sudden stunned look. Instead, he changed his hand and started He took out a pink pendant from his pocket, "In order to confirm the current degree of control, please reach out and touch this."

Okay, okay.

At this point, Angelica also knew that it was impossible to take back what she said. And, to be honest, after she said it, although the number of frowning people increased from her to five, she felt a lot more relaxed inside.

This is probably what is called - sharing the sorrow equally.

"Is that so?"

The ornament was a weird eyeball, so cute and cute that Angelica was shocked at first glance, but the more she looked at it, the more beautiful it became.

She stretched out her hand and easily held it in her left hand.

[Stare————]

? ? ?

Angelica, who felt that she had just made a simple action, hesitated for a moment - not because of anything else, but because of the sudden change in the expressions of several people.

"What's wrong?"

Angelica quickly lowered her head and looked at the palm of her hand: her eyeballs are still fine, not cracked, not twisted, and not spinning endlessly... Is that normal?

"You just didn't touch it at all."

Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hand to indicate the original position of the ornament and the angle at which Angelica stretched out his hand: "From our position, we can clearly see that your hand is not touching it. I didn't touch the ornament."

"There is obviously still a visible distance, but..."

But - there is no need for a but, the ornament Angelica is holding says everything.

"This spell of yours... is really weird! By the way! I forgot to tell you... the intensity of the spell will increase to a certain extent after being [disclosed] to a certain extent."

Because of his special vision, Gojo Satoru said to Angelica She was even more surprised by the miraculous operation: "Have you been able to do this kind of thing before?"

"Didn't you touch it?"

Angelica recalled carefully: Indeed... the fingers and palms did not feel the way they should have. , as if attracted by a magnet, in an instant, the ornament flew into his hand.

"But from my point of view, my fingers have already touched..."

"That means-"

"You can now activate your abilities through optical illusions!"
