Chapter 43: The famous detective feels face pain (second update)

Although the content of the competition is suffocating, who is Qiye? After experiencing the critical attack of the three goddesses at the beginning of this world, he is now fearless. He quickly adjusts his mentality and recalls which of the heroic spirit cards he owns are more beautiful.

In terms of combat prowess, Merlin is pretty good, King Arthur is also considered handsome and the glorious Diarmuid must also be on the list. In the same way, Paris, the person involved in the Golden Apple Incident, is also a famous handsome man——

Ah, but you can’t use Paris, because whoever you choose will probably be asked who is more beautiful than Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty.

If you answer that Aphrodite is more beautiful, you are courting death. The person who answers the question is more beautiful, like Ishtar's character, and you will question whether you will be the referee next time, and you will belittle the people participating this time.

It is enough to submit this kind of question and answer it once.

But excluding Paris, there are many candidates, such as...

The explanation over there continues.

"Initially, 100 people will be selected for the audition, and there is no limit to the number of applicants."

As soon as these words came out, even Sawada Tsunayoshi hesitated: "This is a global competition..."

"Yes, but because the goddesses first appeared in Japan and agreed to the Japanese TV station's proposal, the organizer is Japan."

Qiye chuckled in his heart.

The system really works.

He complained before that he had been doing missions in the United States, and the placement location was either New York or Gotham Washington. He asked to change places. After that time, he kept being placed in Japan. For such a global participation, the host place is also Japan, right?

Those who are not in Japan have been assigned to others?!

Sawada Tsunayoshi's focus is of course different from Nanaya's. His question is: "There are so many people participating in the audition, can the goddess see each one?"

Toru Amuro said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, regarding this, the TV station's plan is actually an online voting, and the goddesses will not participate in the audition."

"...You are unexpectedly keeping pace with the times, goddess!" Sawada Tsunayoshi complained, "In this case, wouldn't it be enough to just vote online for who is the most beautiful goddess?!"

"Actually, someone had raised similar opinions at the beginning." Toru Amuro coughed, "But... in short, the goddess does not agree to let mortals judge them, and only agrees with real heroes to be the judges, so the TV station behind

Planning the competition..."

Qiye was shocked when he heard this.

What, it’s actually online voting?! If that’s the case, wouldn’t it—

"There will be some canvassing for votes." Reborn pointed out sharply.

"That's also part of strength. Heroes don't really only care about their faces, right?" Unseen by Nanye, Amuro revealed a formulaic smile, "As long as the 100 people selected are far above the average, the goddess will not

Pay attention to this little thing."

Sawada Tsunayoshi continued to complain, and he was really not tired at all: "Yes, the goddess will only question the aesthetics of people in this world."

Toru Amuro: "... Then the next step is the second level."

"The question maker for the second level is Maeve. Her information is here... As you can see, she is competitive and greedy... ahem, and has a more competitive character, so the question she asked is-"

"Battle, 100 people fight until 5 people are left."

"Because she believes that only strong warriors can be called true heroes."

This condition is expected by everyone. After all, no matter which country's heroic legend it is, there are fighting plots in it, such as slaying dragons, slaying giants, and conquests... The absence of this link makes people strange.

It can be considered quite satisfactory.

Amuro Toru continued to introduce: "The second level is a melee divided into five arenas, and the winner of each arena will advance to the finals. Originally, the TV station wanted to draw lots 1v1, but both Ishtar and Maeve felt that it was a melee.

It’s more interesting and can reflect abilities other than combat effectiveness.”

Reborn answered: "I see, forming a clique and relying on your wisdom to survive to the end can still be considered a win?"

"This is indeed the rule." Toru Amuro did not deny it. "Queen Maeve who proposed the question also thinks it is okay. As long as you can survive the melee, you are a strong person."

No, it's just more fun that way.

Qiye was so drunk, this was a joke of a hero selection...but at least they weren't just showing off their talents in a different way, it was a lot easier than he thought.

"Where's the last level?" Sawada Tsunayoshi's tone sounded as if he was being urged to continue the story.

Toru Amuro, who has a good temper, said: "Brünnhilde asked the question in the last level, but her request was a vague statement like 'heroic', and the TV station didn't ask anything. It was probably similar to the final question."

I have the right to explain, it may be that the three goddesses voted for the most pleasing one, but I can’t say for sure.”

Qiye felt that all his complaining power for the whole year had been used up today.

——For a question like heroism, there is no need for three people to attack together. It just depends on who Brünnhilde wants to kill the most!

Suddenly, instead of sitting with Toru Amuro and the others, Conan, who was sitting at the table next to Nanye and playing with his mobile phone, exclaimed. Everyone who was sitting well jumped out of their chairs and knocked over the water glass on the table.

In this way, he didn't even bother to hold the cup, but brought the phone close to his face and looked at it carefully.

"How is it possible... No, no, no, now that it's certified... Oh my god... he actually participated in the competition!"

To be able to make this God of Death who has seen the world... no, Qiye is also very curious about the famous detective being so shocked.

Based on his list of target heroic spirits, he could make a guess, but he just needed to verify it.

Qiye thought for a while, and after sorting out his plan, he felt that it was an opportunity to talk to him now, so he walked over and helped him hold up the water glass.

"Little brother, are you okay?" Qiye asked kindly.

"Ah, thank you, big brother." Conan came back to his senses with a dazed look on his face, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention just now."

"It's okay." Qiye smiled good-naturedly, "You don't look too good. Do you need my help?"

Conan quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm so excited."

After he finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, unable to resist the urge to share this explosive news with this passerby.

"Actually... I saw that Professor James Moriarty signed up to compete."

really!!!

Qiye knew this would be the case. He had to deal with a total of 4 heroic spirits in this world. Three of the goddesses were directly on TV. Moriarty was missing. Conan was so shocked. As soon as he guessed, he felt

It's Moriarty related.

However, Moriarty's character should be more inclined to be behind the scenes. What happened to taking the initiative to participate? Is there a conspiracy...

Conan is still excited: "After the characters in mythology appeared, I was wondering whether characters in virtual novels would also appear. In other worlds, they actually existed, but at a certain moment, the projection of that world appeared now.

In the author's mind... I'm actually looking forward to Sherlock Holmes coming, but Moriarty can do it too!"

Qiye began to show off his acting skills. He controlled his expression and showed a plain smile: "That's it."

Conan originally saw that Qiye's reaction was completely different from what he imagined, so he hesitated and asked: "Brother, haven't you seen "Sherlock Holmes"?"

"no."

It was only then that Conan completely broke away from his excitement and calmly observed this young man who was about the same age as himself.

Originally, it was normal for the other party to sit there and eat, and he didn't pay attention to it, but now it seems...

Conan asked abruptly: "My name is Edogawa Conan, what is your eldest brother's name?"

"Well..." Qiye smiled, "My name is Masuda Tokisada. Your place is wet, do you want to sit at my place?"

"OK!"

This invitation was exactly what Conan wanted. So the two of them went to the booth where Qiye was before and sat down. Conan asked pretending to be curious.

"Brother, is this cross a decoration or is it really religious?"

"I am a Catholic."

Conan looked at the white-haired boy holding the cross on his chest. His expression could not be called pious, but rather complicated, and he seemed to be a man with a story.

Just now, he felt that the name Masuda Tokisada was very familiar. Almost instantly, the life experience of a Japanese celebrity appeared in his mind. The person's surname was Masuda. If he added that he believed in Catholicism, his identity was almost obvious.

If it's really the person he thinks...forget it, I'll have to prove it later. What needs to be confirmed now is——

"Big brother is actually not from this era, right?"

Qiye showed a helpless smile: "Hahaha, have you been discovered? Is it because I haven't watched "Sherlock Holmes"?"

"One of the reasons." Conan thought deeply, "But big brother, you have integrated into this era really quickly... Is this dress from your era?"

If it is, it means that it is not the person he guessed. If not... Although the probability of his guessing is greater, he also has a new question, that is, where did this person get the clothes? Could he have already arrived?

Has this world been around for a while?

"No, I changed it."

This answer was completely inconsistent with any of Conan's guesses. He instantly turned into beet-eyed: "Eh? Changed?"

"I just heard that many people from other worlds have special abilities, don't they? I know some, like this."

Qiye smiled and stretched out his hand to freeze his cup of iced black tea, which had even melted ice cubes. The next second, the cup was completely frozen. The next second, the cup shattered into several large pieces, and the next second, it returned to its original shape.

Conan could see the whole process very clearly, and there was no chance for him to do anything, and this was not a prop that could be prepared in advance.

So Conan fell silent again. He spoke with difficulty and confirmed directly: "Amakusa Shiro Tokisada who can live the dead, have flesh and bones, walk on water, and can make miracles happen according to records?"

"Huh? You guessed it." The young man smiled bitterly, "Actually, there isn't much I can do. People are exaggerating it more and more..."

Conan: "………………"

Goddess, visitors from other worlds, etc., he can accept these people with special abilities. After all, it is useless not to accept them. He has never been in contact with them before.

But in history class, he had learned about Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.

He once criticized him for using magic-like principles to trick the common people into following him in rebellion. People at that time were too ignorant to think that he was really the son of God, the liar Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, but he actually really had special abilities...

Detective Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt a little pain in his face.
