Chapter 1940: Hachiman Hikigaya and Kazuma Sato's banter, Shiho Miyano's longing for her older sister.
An ordinary group admin: "Didn't you already state the reasons?"
An ordinary group owner said, "That's why you can't just travel through time at will."
An ordinary group owner said, "Otherwise, we could use this feature to exploit the chat group."
An ordinary group owner said: "The Marquis has spent a lot of points searching for extraterrestrial civilizations, but so far he has only found one."
Su Yunqing looked at Sato Kazuma's words and said.
If we could travel directly through our own world using the "play function," then we wouldn't need to buy travel scrolls to search for extraterrestrial civilizations.
In this way, there's no need to worry about consuming points. As long as you spend enough time, you can find civilizations with whom you can trade or even plunder.
This directly saved a lot of points.
While chat groups don't seem to place much importance on points, they won't allow people to exploit chat groups in this way.
Kazuma and the human-headed dog: "What a pity."
Kazuma Sato still looked regretful.
An ordinary group admin: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Everyone, get ready."
An ordinary group admin: "Let's have a banquet!"
Cretaceous period.
After seeing Su Yunqing's reply, Nobita said to Doraemon, "The group admin said it's no problem, they'll be there soon!"
"Really? That's great!"
Doraemon was both excited and nervous. He couldn't help but adjust his non-existent bow tie and stood with Nobita in a relatively open area of the camp. He stared wide-eyed at the air in front of him, hoping that the people from another world would appear.
They didn't have to wait long. Just a few seconds later, the space above the open area in the center of the camp began to distort unnaturally, forming a deep black vortex.
Then, the second, the third
One black hole after another unfolded above the open spaces of the camp, and figures landed from these black holes, some calm, some curious, and some interested, looking at the prehistoric world and the party camp in front of them.
Su Yunqing, Umaru, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Nakiri Erina, Uchiha Madara, Aizen, Tony, Yagami Taichi, Marquis Voban, Loki.
Although not all of them, many members of the chat group came here.
Kazuma Sato and Hachiman Hikigaya were naturally among them.
The two landed almost simultaneously, their gazes sweeping over the surrounding prehistoric landscape, the futuristic tents, and the few overly conspicuous dinosaurs in the distance, before they both looked at each other.
Compared to other people, the two of them were more familiar with each other.
"Hey, isn't this Hachiman-kun? You're here too?"
"I thought this kind of lively party would trigger your 'lonely alien' passive avoidance skill."
"It seems that after experiencing so much in your own world, your social anxiety has improved somewhat?"
Kazuma Sato raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise, and spoke to Hachiman Hikigaya.
Hachiman Hikigaya stared back at Kazuma Sato, responding defiantly:
"Each each other."
"However, I think that compared to you, who can stay at home forever and never go out unless necessary, I probably can't be called a real socially anxious person."
"That was my own choice. Don't you even know what 'my own choice' means?!"
Kazuma Sato immediately retorted.
"It's better than those guys who are secretly furious but put on a 'go to hell with being a social butterfly' face, yet they have to run around with the social butterfly group and end up getting themselves into weird endings, right?"
"Ha, at least my 'ending' is still within the realm of conventional human ethics."
"Unlike someone whose team composition has already defied common sense, searching for meaning in life every day in the midst of absurdity, explosions, and being persecuted."
Hachiman Hikigaya retorted without changing his expression.
"Tsk, you still have such a sharp tongue."
Kazuma Sato pursed his lips, but there wasn't much real anger in his tone.
Because they both knew that what they were complaining about and exposing each other's shortcomings at this moment was mostly the "dark history" of "another self" in the memory copy.
In reality, their fates have already been distorted because of joining the chat group.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of prehistoric plants, and in the distance came the long, low growls of tamed dinosaurs, as well as the increasingly lively chatter and exclamations from the center of the camp.
"Let's go, it's silly to just stand here."
"While Erina Nakiri and Chef Boy are working on the food tablecloth and preparing the dishes, shall we go for a walk around the area?"
"Anyway, it's none of our business right now."
Kazuma Sato gestured with his chin towards the untouched, undeveloped areas surrounding the camp.
He showed little interest in using the gourmet tablecloth. With Erina Nakiri and Master Chef around, who would have high expectations for mass-produced food?
The real feast will surely be in the hands of those two.
"really."
Hachiman Hikigaya nodded in deep agreement.
Although he could chat a lot with other members in the chat group, in reality, the only person he was familiar with was Kazuma Sato.
Rather than awkwardly greeting someone without knowing what to say, it's better to deliberately sideline yourself and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet.
However, before leaving, he subconsciously glanced around.
The gaze pauses slightly as it sweeps over a certain spot.
He saw Yukino Yukinoshita. She was still dressed in simple casual clothes, standing a little distance away, her cool gaze calmly observing everything around her, as if she had an invisible aura of isolation.
Hachiman Hikigaya's gaze lingered on her for less than half a second before naturally shifting away, without any intention of going up to greet her.
Because he saw two other people not far from Yukino Yukinoshita.
Setsuna Ogiso and Kazusa Touma.
At that moment, Ogiso Setsuna, with her uniquely warm smile, walked towards Yukina, and the two seemed to be talking about something.
Touma Kazusa stood a little behind with her arms crossed. Although her expression was still somewhat awkward and aloof, her gaze was also on Yukinoshita, with a look as if she were observing one of her own kind.
Yukino Yukinoshita's feelings at this moment were also somewhat complicated.
It wasn't that she hadn't expected to run into Touma Kazusa and Ogiso Setsuna here, but rather that she hadn't expected Ogiso Setsuna to greet her.
Since they joined the chat group at the same time, she had a pretty deep impression of the two of them.
Under the irresistible smile and superb communication skills of Ogiso Setsuna, Yukino Yukinoshita's usual aloof exterior seemed to soften a bit.
The two quickly found common ground.
From the shock of joining the chat group, to the feelings they evoked by the different worlds they experienced, and the occasional mention of their own trivial campus life in their respective worlds.
Although Yukinoshita's words remained concise and her tone remained calm, she was at least responding earnestly. Her eyes showed less aloofness and more focused listening.
Ogiso Setsuna naturally became the bridge of communication, always managing to steer the conversation toward Touma Kazusa, who seemed detached but was actually listening intently.
"Kazusa is actually interested in things other than music too."
Touma Kazusa was a little awkward at first, and would even frown slightly and make a muffled sound when her name was called, but with Setsuna's persistent guidance, she gradually managed to chime in with a word or two.
Although her tone still carried her characteristic coldness and directness, she had indeed managed to pry open a crack in her conversation.
Yukino Yukinoshita, who knows Touma Kazusa's personality, is also tolerant of her to some extent.
Hachiman Hikigaya caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, nodded, and then completely shifted his attention away from that direction.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the camp, near a silver-gray functional tent, there were two men and one woman, all of whom appeared to be adults.
Shinichi Kudo, or rather Conan Edogawa, has reverted to his handsome high school student appearance, hands in his pockets, his crescent-shaped eyes surveying the party scene around him.
Beside him was Shiho Miyano, who had also shed her elementary school student disguise and reverted to her cool and aloof scientist appearance with short brown hair, her expression indifferent.
Standing opposite them, with a poker-faced smile and a flippant tone, was none other than Kaito Kuroba. He was not pretending at this moment, showing his true self.
"Wow, I never expected the famous detective and this aloof lady to make such a 'formal' appearance today."
"I thought you would come in the form of children."
Kaito Kuroba glanced at Shinichi Kudo and Shiho Miyano, his tone undisguisedly teasing.
Shinichi Kudo gave a curt "Heh," and retorted sarcastically:
"You didn't even come dressed as Phantom Thief Kid, so how could we possibly come dressed as children?"
"And that was so long ago."
Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba's smile became even more playful. He casually shrugged and said in a tone that seemed to know everything:
"Yes, yes, but after all, our great detective has an extremely strong sense of responsibility."
"As long as that black organization isn't completely destroyed, and as long as the people you care about don't all have enough power to protect themselves, you will never easily reveal the truth that 'Shinichi Kudo' is still alive and right under their noses, right?"
"Even if I can regain my original size, I will use it cautiously and try my best to maintain the identity of 'Edogawa Conan'. Don't I know you well enough?"
Shinichi Kudo paused for a moment, neither denying it nor denying it, but he frowned slightly, which could be considered an admission.
Seeing this, Kaito Kuroba seemed to have thought of something. He leaned closer, lowered his voice, and continued to tease them in a volume that only the three of them could hear:
"But speaking of which, now that we have a relatively stable way to turn back, your relationship with Xiaolan must be progressing 'lightning fast', right?"
"No more having to hide it as a little brother from elementary school students every day, can I openly say 'uh' now?"
He deliberately dragged out his words, leaving plenty of room for imagination, and the smile on his face looked utterly irritating.
Shinichi Kudo's ears flushed red at a visible speed, and he glared at Kaito Kuroba with a hint of annoyance:
"You'd better mind your own business, Mr. Phantom Thief."
Instead of worrying about other people's relationship progress here, you should think more about how to deal with Inspector Nakamori and Aoko when you get back.
"If she knew that the phantom thief her father had been trying to catch all along was you and your dad, she would be furious."
Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba's nonchalant smile faltered slightly, but he quickly waved his hand and chuckled, saying:
"You don't understand Qingzi. Although she's a bit clumsy sometimes and has a temper like her dad's, she's actually..."
He paused, seemingly searching for the right words.
"In short, I will handle it well, when I am ready, at the most suitable time, in the most magnificent way. I hope the old man won't get so angry that he has a heart problem."
He mumbled the last sentence somewhat unclearly, but the seriousness in his tone was undeniable.
Beside her, Shiho Miyano leaned against a large tree that had been temporarily modified by the [Adaptation Light], listening to the conversation between the two with an indifferent expression.
The black coffee she had taken from the "Gourmet Tablecloth" was no longer steaming; her fingertips rubbed the warm cup.
Neither their banter nor their descriptions of their relationship could truly penetrate her thoughts at that moment.
Her gaze seemed somewhat vacant, piercing through the distance and landing in some unknown place.
sister
Akemi Miyano's gentle smile once again clearly appeared in my mind.
Since joining the chat group, she has accumulated over a million points.
This number may not seem like much in the group, but for her, it means that a possibility that was once out of reach is now within reach.
resurrection.
The chat group's shop contains many items or abilities that can bring the dead back to life.
For example, the Rinnegan, which is said to control life and death.
One million points, just enough to redeem.
But putting aside whether the underworld exists in her world, and whether she can be resurrected through the Heretical Reincarnation Technique, even if she could, the caster would have to pay with their own life.
She would certainly not refuse to save her sister with her own life, but the problem is that she could have chosen a way to ensure that both of them survived.
However, there are too many items in the group store, and screening and verification takes time, and there are also uncertainties and risks involved.
Indeed, the safest, and perhaps only, way is still that person?
Her gaze shifted almost imperceptibly in a certain direction in the arena for a fleeting moment.
There, Bai Xuan still stood quietly a little distance away, as if keeping a distance from the surrounding hustle and bustle, yet seemingly having everything under his control.
His ability transcends the rules; he can even define and create them.
If he were to take action, the success rate of reviving his sister would be 100%.
And there will be no uncontrollable side effects or costs that will be passed on to myself and my sister.
But what's the price for asking him to do it?
While chat groups encourage mutual assistance, anything involving resurrecting the dead or reversing life and death will inevitably come at a price.
One million points to buy one of his deals?
Would he accept this price?
