Chapter 387 The Changes of the Star Thief
However, it's just for food expenses... Conan patted his pocket and saw his dad's black card (for the spendthrift son), no problem!
Li Muyang also told Jin Chan to take it easy, just satisfy her cravings and don't be too greedy.
For cicadas, ordinary food containing little spiritual energy is never enough to satisfy their hunger, so if they wanted to, they could probably bankrupt Conan.
Don't let Kudo Yusaku bring it over.
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Conan greeted Jin Chan politely.
Jin Chan patted her belly: "Don't worry!"
After seeing off the "Grim Reaper Elementary School Student," Li Muyang and his group went for a leisurely stroll. Since they were already there, they had to admire the scenery and architecture of Vesbania.
"How's it going? First time here?" Li Muyang teased Xia He with a smile, "How's it going?"
Xia He looked at the buildings with completely different styles. She had only seen these things in the media before, and this was the first time she had seen them in real life. Experiencing them in person was a completely different feeling.
“Not bad!” Xia He replied with a smile, but then quickly changed the subject, saying, “However, it doesn’t seem to be as good as advertised; it’s a bit disappointing.”
Hmm, there are quite a few buildings... a sense of decay is overwhelming!
Xiao Ai remained calm: "It's normal. What you usually see in China is just false propaganda from unscrupulous media. Even worse, some just find a few pictures online, add a short text, and publish a highly false news report. In fact, these capitalist countries are just a world for the rich! And they are basically very xenophobic!"
"Furthermore, these buildings are mostly decades old, and they haven't been properly maintained. How could they possibly look the same as in the promotional pictures? Those pictures are all photoshopped!"
Xia He was still a little incredulous when she heard Xiao Ai's words. Her views on foreign countries mainly came from domestic propaganda. However, Xiao Ai had actually lived abroad for a long time. Combined with the scene before her, it was as if her previous preconceived notions had been shattered.
It's fake! It's all fake! Liars! It's all a lie!
This is an online scam!
Li Muyang nodded in agreement: "So, you have to judge for yourself whether it's right or wrong, true or false. As an adult, you can't just blindly believe what others say; it might not be the right thing to do."
“Even Vesbania is considered relatively good,” Erii added. “The late Queen Sakura made significant contributions to the development of Vesbania and placed great emphasis on environmental protection, rarely pursuing development based on environmental destruction.”
"At the same time, we have always focused on infrastructure development. The happiness index of ordinary people in the Kingdom of Vesbania is really high, and their living standards are quite good. They can be described as living in peace and contentment."
"Like that special ore that was recently discovered?" Li Muyang said, stroking his chin.
Erii nodded: "Brother is also paying attention. After all, the effect of that ore seems a bit strange. Just a small piece can make any electronic device completely invisible and avoid radar detection. If it were to be used as a weapon of mass destruction... we have to be on guard!"
Li Muyang was also unsure about the condition of the ore in Vesbania, and he would have to go and see for himself before he could make a judgment. Although this effect was nothing to him, as Li Muyang had the technology to produce similar results, this ore was extremely important to countries around the world and could be considered a vital strategic resource.
No wonder Erii knows so much about Vespania.
"In your eyes, am I really such an irresponsible and careless boss?" Erii seemed to sense Li Muyang's thoughts and looked at him dangerously.
Li Muyang quickly raised his hands in surrender: "How could that be? I just felt that you wouldn't usually care about these kinds of things."
"That's true!" Erii was fairly satisfied with the answer.
The group walked together through the streets of the capital of Vesbania, experiencing the local customs and culture. As they walked, they came to a café located not far from the sea.
Li Muyang and the others walked past calmly as usual.
Seeing everyone walking away without a single one showing any intention of turning back, Xuan Yue, sitting at a small table under a parasol at the entrance of the coffee shop, also revealed a wry smile, took a sip of coffee, and it seemed that Li Muyang didn't really want to take the initiative to see him!
Fine, then let him go to them himself.
"General, what do you think?" Xuan Yue asked General Ichi with a smile.
After a moment of contemplation, Izumi Souji said, "My lord... this man is extremely dangerous! I can't find any weakness in him!"
Regarding Izumi Souji's Seventh Sense Mystic Eye, it allows him to see everything within his field of vision and detect the weaknesses and abilities of his opponents. However, it is also limited by Izumi Souji's own knowledge and understanding. If he cannot understand or is unclear about an ability, it is beyond his ability and he will naturally be unable to find the opponent's weaknesses.
Clearly, this is the case for Li Muyang.
Based on what Souji Izumi had just observed, he couldn't think of any way to counter Li Muyang.
"As for the people around him..." Chief Inspector Izumi's meaning was very clear: he couldn't see through Li Muyang, but the people around him were not a problem.
Even the strongest Erii is no match for Gengetsu in Izumi Souji's eyes. She is strong, but still within an acceptable range.
Xuan Yue immediately interrupted him: "There's no need, and there's no need to involve more people. If nothing goes wrong, we won't be enemies, and... he's even my benefactor."
"I came here in person to find him, just to confirm whether what I saw was real." Even Xuan Yue couldn't contain her excitement as she said this!
Damn it! He's dead! He actually died! That's awesome!
If it weren't for the need to maintain a splendid image in front of her subordinates, and the uncertainty of the situation and whether the information was true or not, Xuan Yue would have already been jumping around and laughing loudly!
Izumi Souji was puzzled. Although he was Xuan Yue's confidant among the twelve fallen angels, he was still unaware of many secrets. Moreover, Xuan Yue's transformation was basically due to the news of his companion Samuel's death. He became much kinder and more amiable after that.
He went from a ruthless and domineering demon king to a caring older brother all of a sudden! Anyone who didn't know better might think he'd been possessed!
He is a completely different person from the ruthless, cruel tyrant Lucifer he knew before!
No, the current Xuan Yue might be the real one, so all his previous actions were just an act for a certain purpose! It was to deceive people!
So who are you trying to fool?
Samuel?!
Could it be that this battle-crazed companion actually has a secret they don't know about?
Izumi Souji adjusted his glasses, realizing he'd been a terrible confidant! He'd failed to notice Samuel's problem in time! Negligence! Utter negligence!
It's not surprising that Izumi Souji is still observing Samuel. He is unsure if Samuel V has any other tricks up his sleeve and is afraid of alerting him. He was certain that Samuel V was lusting after him... literally. So he originally planned to use his own body as bait to poison him in the future.
As a result... before any plan could even begin, suddenly, Morian's seventh sense, inherited from the witch of the Soren family, which allowed her to foresee the future, was passed on to Xuan Yue as a prophecy.
In short:
Muir V died, completely and utterly, his entire legacy in the world was erased!
Xuan Yue initially didn't believe it, thinking that Muir V had used some means to block his precognitive abilities. However, as he investigated further, he discovered that Samuel, whom he had sent to Japan to seize the crown of Vesbania, had kicked a steel plate and crashed his car to his death!
Knowing that Samuel might be related to Muir V, Xuan Yue realized that something unexpected had happened! Even the ability to foresee the future was no longer detectable! And whenever he saw the future involving Muir V, he could only receive one message: Muir V was dead.
How did he die? I don't know.
Why did he die? I don't know.
Could it be fake? I don't know.
No matter what he asked, the answer was always the same: Muir V is dead. Xuan Yue was starting to think it was some kind of premonition being used to fool him! It felt like his computer had crashed!
Who can argue with that? The seventh sense passed down in the Sauron family, the ability to foresee the future, is in a sense a means of communicating with the world and obtaining information. The future they see is what is happening within the world.
Li Muyang's method of annihilating Muir V was beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements—a spacetime annihilation! The world consciousness only knew that Li Muyang had forcibly killed Muir V, but it could not determine the specifics because the methods used by the person who did it did not belong to the world.
The world consciousness naturally couldn't give Xuan Yue a more detailed answer; it could only repeat the message like a program: Muir V is dead, with nothing left.
Therefore, Xuan Yue came to investigate the situation in person and wanted to meet Li Muyang in person.
What? Why are you sitting here waiting?
Because of Xuan Yue's ability to foresee the future, he couldn't see Li Muyang, but he could see other people! For example, Erii, Miyano Akemi, Ai, and Xia He! In his observation, the four girls should have come here to rest for a while! But Li Muyang pulled them all away instead!
This can also be considered a test from Xuan Yue! That is, why can't Xuan Yue observe Li Muyang in the future? Is it because the other party is too strong, or is there some special reason? Moreover, Samuel's sudden death and Muuel V's early demise have made Xuan Yue question the ability to predict the future!
This ability doesn't seem as powerful as I imagined! At least, isn't this a bug? Not only is it unobservable, but it can also be altered! It can even prematurely eliminate someone with Muir V's destiny! This is utterly outrageous!
This also made Xuan Yue a little... disappointed. Morian sacrificed the power she granted, but it seemed a bit unreliable! Wasn't that a wasted sacrifice?
