Conan’s World Stand-in: Chapter 55 Moonlight Sonata No. 3

"Is this a contest between avatars... Sure enough, I'm still too inexperienced." Masayoshi Asai looked at Guan Dounan blankly, shook his head, and smiled helplessly, "Before, I only used it on a avatar. over your own abilities.”

"The one who created this closed village mansion?" Guan Dounan asked.

"Well, his name is Ryusuke Koshima, an unemployed person on the island, and his ability is a 'one-way box'. Simply put, when all the entrances and exits of a box are closed, the box becomes A box that can only be opened in one direction - the so-called 'box', can actually expand to a room or even an entire house."

Asai made an analogy with honest gestures, and Guan Dounan nodded to show his understanding. If it was this kind of ability, what happened before would make sense.

"When I play Moonlight's second movement to a specific audience, his memory becomes a materialized staff, but I can read it...that is, read the memory of that audience." Makoto Asai reached out his hand He stroked the piano keys of the avatar, "Koshima Ryunosuke's memory shows that he was bought by the village chief Heiyan and made some special boxes for him, some of which can only be opened from the outside, and some can only be opened from the inside, And these boxes seem to be used by the village chief Heiyan to conduct some illegal transactions."

"So, you used this ability on Heiyan Village Chief and read his memory?" Guan Dounan raised his eyebrows.

Asai Honesty's ability is actually to be able to read other people's memories. Although the preconditions are very restrictive, once this ability reaches the conditions for it to work, it is absolutely very powerful, and it can be said to be the strongest intelligence system stand-in in another sense.

"Yes, from his memory, I know the illegal activities he is doing, and his accomplices - Kawashima, Hirata, and Nishiki, all of them are his accomplices. I suspected Mr. Shimizu at first, but Their memories show him innocent." Asai nodded honestly.

"So, what did you do to 'change' Kawashima's memory before?"

"This is what I discovered when I played the third movement, a side effect of my ability." Asai Honestly pressed a few notes, if Guan Dounan knew, he would have found that this was the beginning of the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata, "Originally, When I play the third movement, the listener's memory staves are sent back to his mind, which is equivalent to a restoration process. But I stumbled upon that if I add some to his memory staves before this process The content can modify his memory to a certain extent..."

"I used this ability on Etsuma Ryunosuke, which made a memory in his mind. The content of the memory is that the village chief Heiyan ordered him to close the village mansion during the ritual tonight, and make it a one that can only be Open box outside."

"Fortunately, Etsuma Ryunosuke's brain is not very useful. He only knows that he can get a sum of money for him to eat, drink and play by following the order of the village head of Heiyan, so he has no memory of this abruptly extra. I didn't doubt it, but just did it." Asai Cheng looked at Guan Dounan's serious expression and spread his hands, "This ability is far less powerful than you think."

"The artificially increased memory will always have some contradictions with other normal memories. The more obvious the contradiction, the easier it is to find something wrong. It is very difficult for a thoughtful guy like Kawashima to modify his memory. , a hundred times may not necessarily succeed once. Smart people like you are the first to discover that those memories are wrong. "

"...Even so, it's still very powerful, and it can even be said to be a terrifying ability." Guan Dounan said after a moment of silence.

Even if it is true as Asai Honesty said, this ability is so limited, but once you succeed, you can manipulate other people's memories at will. What you remember and what you believe in is not necessarily what you really see, what you want to do. Nor is it out of your heart. From any point of view, it is extremely dangerous, and the ability that cannot be used by me must be removed for me.

"Really? I think this 'substitute ability' is like a knife. The knife itself is harmless. It all depends on what the person who uses it wants to do." Asai Makoto closed his eyes and said in a dreamy voice, " I amend their memories, ask them to surrender themselves, and explain everything they have done to the police and the public, so is this ability still terrifying?"

"...I'm afraid, you read their memories, and you want to know more than just their illegal business." Conan whispered.

"Yes, I also have my own selfishness." Asai admitted honestly and generously, "When I came to this island for the first time two years ago, I specially asked the former village chief. Turtle Island, which was there, explained my origin to him—of course, not the kind of duty report."

"I told him that my real name is Makoto Aso, and I was hospitalized in a hospital in Tokyo twelve years ago. After hearing me say this, Kameshima's face suddenly became terrifying, as if he had seen some kind of ghost—but From his point of view, I really shouldn't be living in this world." Asai Masaki touched his face, "On this island there is only one family named Aso, and that is Keiji Aso, who was called 'self-immolation' twelve years ago. One family, which is my home before I changed my name..."

Asai Makoto clenched his fists tightly, his hair hanging down to cover his face. Guan Dounan and Conan opposite him also kept silent and did not disturb him.

"You don't seem to be very surprised, you should already know it?" Masayoshi Asai raised his head and looked at the two again, "My selfishness is to investigate the truth about the deaths of my father, mother and sister back then, I don't know if it is Fortunately or unfortunately, I found what I wanted in Kawashima's memory..."

"Twelve years ago, my father discovered their illegal transactions and was going to report them. So, under the instructions of Kawashima and Kuroda, Etsuma Ryonosuke turned the Aso's house into a box that could only be opened from the outside, Then Kawashima set fire with his own hands, created a murder case, and completely eliminated the hidden danger..."

"Aren't you going to take revenge?"

"Who wouldn't want revenge? That's my parents and sister, they were killed just because of a few selfish guys..." Masayoshi Asai shook his head with a wry smile, "Even if their memories are modified and they go to surrender themselves. , I'm afraid the police won't believe in the so-called superpowers. My original plan was to delete the memory of 'swimming' in their brains, and then add a memory of them going to the sea every day to swim~www.mtlnovel.com~ Let them die by 'suicide'..."

"However, you should stop me, right? I only hope that you can make the illegal transactions they conduct public. Since you are a well-known director, shoot a documentary and expose their existence to the outside world... Their transactions are not just to make money, It will also destroy people's body and mind. This kind of thing should not exist in the world. This is my trivial request, can you agree?" Asai Honestly opened his eyes and looked at Guan Dounan calmly.

"...Maybe you have another choice." Guan Dounan was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand and took out a card from his pocket, and handed it to Asai Honesty.

"This is..." Asai Makoto took the card, looked at the words "Nth Lesson" on it, and seemed to think of something.

"Let me introduce, Neon Public Security Section N Commissioner, that's my boss over there." Guan Dounan pointed to Kei Kamdai, who should have been really hypnotized, but was still sleeping, "Bring them to justice. , to make their crimes public, two wishes, one fulfillment."

"Of course, the premise is that you can provide enough evidence - but, since you have read their memories, it must not be difficult to provide information such as their hiding places, transaction times, routes, and subordinates, right?" Guan Dounan smiled.
