Tokyo Opera Hall.
After checking in, the children's exclamation voices were suppressed by the excitement inside and did not attract any attention.
The master of illusion, Günther von Goldberg II, is famous all over the world. Naturally, there are many people who like him in China. Today's venue must be packed.
Haihara Ai didn't feel any sign of the presence of organized people.
Her senses are indeed sharp, but only if the members of the organization do not hide their weird aura and the malice they exude.
Kuroki Jin once conducted a test. He asked Jiangcheng Dahe to imitate members of the organization and let Haibara Ai change his identity with the knowledge.
The results showed that Haihara Ai was only very sensitive to the malice existing in individuals, and could not tell who was a member of the organization at a glance.
During the period when she changed from Shirley to Haibara Ai, the members of the organization she came into contact with inadvertently all had malicious intentions. For example, Gin and Vodka who went to the Cupido Hotel specifically for her, pretending to be the newly wise Ai Bellmore De, and Bourbon whose identity was exposed from the beginning.
Haibara Ai was not so naive as to think that Bourbon and Kuroki Ren would not do evil things to her if they had a good relationship. The other party's eyes were paying attention to her vaguely when they met several times, which did not seem to be expressing goodwill.
Haibara Ai didn't feel the slightest malice in the venue, maybe because the person hadn't arrived yet, or maybe it was because the other party deliberately hid his aura.
She thinks it's the latter.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't have come today. Because I don’t know if there will be anyone there who knows her appearance as a child, just like Pisco at Acupido Hotel, I can tell that she is Shirley with just one glance.
But she chose to come.
When she agreed to establish a relationship with Kuroki Ren, she had figured out that she would never be able to escape when it was her turn. No matter how much Heo Mu Ren protected him, there would be times when he would not take good care of him. What she had to do in the confrontation with the organization was not to avoid it. It's face to face.
Besides, the current situation is much better than she imagined.
Gin Bermod's laissez-faire, Bourbon's turning a blind eye, and Okiya Subaru, who recently lived next door to the doctor's house and was part of Kudo's new family, her treatment in the organization was not so good.
That being the case, what does she have to fear?
The Suzuki Consortium's signboard was still loud, and people soon came up to say hello. Haibara Ai took the opportunity to run to the side with her children to visit, and by the way, she wanted to find Kuroki Jin who should be already inside the venue.
Hui Yuan Ai couldn't find it.
There were too many people at the venue, and everyone was dressed similarly. With her size, she couldn't even see everyone's face clearly, and she couldn't tell which guy was who just based on his thighs.
Haiyuan Ai gave up and decided to just watch the performance carefully.
The official performance is at 9:30 in the morning, and at 9 o'clock, staff will come to guide everyone to their seats. Suzuki Sonoko bought a seat in the front row on the first floor. According to her, she wanted to observe closely so that she, a female high school detective, could decipher the illusion techniques.
Conan said that she was overthinking.
But the illusion technique... he also wanted to crack it.
In the waiting room, there was only one person in the huge room. The blond man in a tuxedo was holding a red wine glass. He didn't feel nervous at all about waiting to play.
In front of him were several screens put together, taking in the entire opera hall from all angles without any blind spots.
"Tsk." Spider smacked his lips, placed the red wine glass on the table, and searched the several screens with cold eyes.
He was very sure that everyone who was supposed to come had already sneaked in. But the reality is that he found no trace of anyone.
This made the spider very unhappy, but made the bat on the other end of the phone laugh.
Seeing the slightly provocative message from the bat, the spider turned off the display.
"Why are you so proud?" He sneered, "As long as I unfold my illusion, all illusions will appear before my eyes, and no one can escape!"
At half past nine, all the lights in the venue went out. The next moment, a ray of light hit the center of the stage, and the illusion master suddenly appeared there.
"Oh——!" Warm cheers erupted from the scene.
Conan saw through it at a glance: "Relying on the flash caused by the black screen and light and shadow, Kaitou Kidd has played this trick before."
However, Hui Yuan Ai stood on her head for a while. At that moment, she seemed to feel the coldness of being targeted as a prey.
The senses are fleeting, but Haihara Ai will not regard it as an illusion.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning!" Spider's Japanese is very good, without any weird emphasis from foreigners: "I'm glad to see you all here. Let me give a brief self-introduction first."
Goldberg II's resume is so brilliant that even if he summarized it in a short sentence, it would only take three to five minutes.
But his hands were not idle. When he introduced himself, he played a deck of cards, which brought the atmosphere to a climax.
"Although he claims to be a master of illusion, currently it is no different from performing magic."
Edogawa Conan adjusted his glasses, feeling a little unmotivated.
Goldberg II flipped his hand and the playing cards disappeared instantly. He opened his arms as if to embrace the audience, and said loudly: "Next, please come together into my world..."
His voice seemed to have magic power. Huihara Ai felt his eyes flicker, and the next moment, the entire opera hall fell into darkness.
The surroundings were eerily quiet. She subconsciously grabbed Conan's arm next to her, but unexpectedly it missed her.
"Edogawa...?" Haihara Ai turned her head, and then her pupils shrank - there was no one around her.
As long as she didn't meet the organization, Haiyuan Ai's rationality was always online. Even after a moment of panic, she calmed down and carefully looked at the space she was in.
It is known that there is no illusion in this world, so the picture she is seeing now must be achieved through some means. As far as she knows, the organization has similar drugs in this area.
Haibara Ai began to carefully reflect on her behavior since entering the school, including the food and drinks at the entrance and the surrounding environment in front of the Akira God just now.
No……
There was no clue that she was hallucinating due to external factors.
But soon, she no longer had the mind to think about it.
Hui Yuan Ai felt her heart tightening as a familiar figure appeared in her field of vision.
On the stage, Goldberg II lowered his arms and looked at the few uninvited guests who had not yet fallen asleep with a mocking look on his face.
Today is not a performance at all. He uses his identity and this venue to catch all these people.
"Welcome to my country." Spider lines loomed under the corners of Goldberg II's eyes, and the light shone on the people who were still awake on the field. "What will greet you will be a nightmare."
