In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 20: Are all your mysterious organizations this amazing?

Inside the study, a chill quickly spread, and wisps of white mist drifted around, adding a touch of haziness to the otherwise clear scene.

Shadow Clone Hiko ruthlessly tossed the scroll aside, watching with envy as Akutagawa Hiko nimbly traversed the magic mirror made of ice crystals.

However, despite his envy, Shadow Clone Yan remained defiant: "How dare you show off in front of your own shadow clone, Hagi Yan!"

Akutagawa Hiko raised an eyebrow, well aware of how envious his shadow clone was: "Giving your real body such a nickname, Hagi Shadow, you're not much better."

While bickering with his shadow clone, Akutagawa Hiko savored this unique experience.

This move is a powerful ice-based secret technique—the Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal.

This is a secret ice-escape technique with great potential for development. The user can move freely within a magic mirror made of solid ice crystals and launch attacks on trapped enemies.

As for why Akutagawa Hiko mastered this secret technique so quickly, just look at how much reputation he's spent in the reputation shop.

There was no way to stop himself from reaching for the lone Ice Release Kekkei Genkai on his personal panel.

"I'm sure the system set me up. They did this because they saw I wasn't willing to spend my reputation points."

Despite thinking this way, Akutagawa Hiko still obediently paid.

But this reputation was well spent; it wasn't just about mastering a few ice-style ninjutsu and secret techniques.

Akutagawa Hiko's understanding of Ice Release has now surpassed his current mastery of Fire Release.

While his proficiency still needs improvement, Akutagawa Hiko is confident that he can try to create some ice-style ninjutsu that may not be very practical.

Even his understanding of Wind Release and Water Release improved as he delved deeper into Ice Release.

Shadow Clone Hiko, seeing Akutagawa Hiko having so much fun, stamped his feet anxiously, "My mission is complete! Let me go back now!"

Akutagawa Hiko stopped in the ice mirror, and his figure was revealed in all the ice crystal magic mirrors.

Akutagawa Hiko stepped out of the mirror, dispelled the magic mirror, and amusedly recalled the shadow clone that had been busy all day.

The enhancement brought by a bloodline limit is comprehensive, whether it is chakra reserves, mental and physical strength, or means of output, all of which have made great progress.

This shadow clone, which lasted so long, did not bring the expected fatigue after it dissipated. The hypnotic method that used to be so effective could not calm the active mind now.

This caused Akutagawa Hiko some distress.

He is well aware of his current state. He has experienced many times when he was a child, drawing his favorite character in a gacha game, not being able to sleep all night, and not being able to get up before noon the next day.

Looking at the brightly lit next door, and knowing that someone else was also having trouble sleeping, Akutagawa Hiko felt much better.

Conan was also awake, which greatly pleased Akutagawa Hiko. He used his newly acquired ninja skills to make a can of iced cola.

Ice-attribute abilities can be found in many fantasy works.

As a child, Akutagawa Hiko envied the ability to create chilled fruits and drinks anytime, anywhere, which combined attack, defense, and control.

Now I can say that I have realized my childhood dream.

At that moment, Conan, who was being nagged by Akutagawa Hiko, suddenly sneezed.

Conan rubbed his sore nose, picked up his coffee and took a sip, sticking out his tongue from the bitterness.

Dr. Agasa, engrossed in his experiments, looked up from his work and said, "Shinichi, why don't you go to sleep? The results will take a long time to arrive."

Conan shook his head: "How can I sleep in this situation? That piece of paper, yet it..."

Shaking his head, Conan's lingering image resurfaced in his mind. This was the first time he felt that having an excellent memory was a problem.

I remember every detail clearly, yet I still can't understand it.

At this point, Professor Agasa immediately became excited: "Shinichi, do you know what this explosive tag means?"

Conan sat cross-legged on the sofa and nodded helplessly: "Yes, yes, a completely new system, a great discovery that can overturn and rebuild the existing scientific system. You've said it many times, Doctor."

Before he could finish speaking, Conan snatched the words from his mouth. Professor Agasa didn't care and turned his head to devote himself to the experiment.

He kept muttering to himself, looking exactly like a mad scientist who could stop a child from crying at night.

Conan sighed and looked up at the alloy ceiling with a worried expression.

Are all these mysterious organizations really that amazing? One has a poison that can turn a high school detective into an elementary school student, and the other has an explosive tag that completely violates the laws of physics.

Things that only exist in fantasy and are criticized for being unscientific or outdated are now popping into reality one after another.

Conan wouldn't be surprised if a witch or wizard suddenly appeared one day.

Probably...

Conan's mind conjured up images of demons dancing wildly, with fireballs and energy blasts flying everywhere, and he couldn't help but shudder.

If something like that really happened, how could anyone concentrate on investigating the case?!

If you can't beat them, join them; use magic to defeat magic.

Only by fully understanding this peculiar thing can we avoid being disturbed.

But what qualifications does he have to join?

If he were to act as a henchman with high enough fighting skills, he would only be equivalent to 1.5 passersby when he was still Shinichi Kudo and there was a soccer ball at his feet. After becoming Conan, without relying on gadgets, he would be even less capable than that dog named Loki.

This path is clearly not feasible.

If it's based on intelligence and skills, it's fair to say he's a polymath. He studied at the Technical College of Hawaii and knows a little about or is quite proficient in everything.

But what I like best and am most good at is still being a detective.

But thinking about Akutagawa Hikaru's performance in the two cases, Conan became less confident.

Akutagawa Hiko was surprised that Conan wanted to join his empty organization.

Even if he knew, Akutagawa Hiko wouldn't care. It was just a matter of finding a reason to eliminate someone. It would be difficult to dig a pit for Luo Bo, but it would be easy to prevent Luo Bo from falling into the pit.

Right now, Akutagawa Hiko and his shadow clone Hiko are enjoying a delicious late-night snack, doubling the happiness and enjoyment without having to worry about gaining weight—perfect.

Eating and chatting side by side, with one person and one shadow, having an external brain that shares the same thoughts, habits, and preferences, the efficiency skyrockets.

Akutagawa Hiko took a sip of noodle soup and sighed, "Isn't it a bit of a waste to train ninja beasts at this hour?"

Shadow Clone Yan rolled her eyes at the original body: "When do you say it's not a loss? Wait until you can split the moon in two? You were raised to keep us company, so what are you dawdling about?"

Akutagawa Hiko didn't care about the shadow clone's performance; it was all himself anyway, and self-reflection was a fine quality: "That's right, then I'll go to the pet store in a couple of days and pick out a cat and a dog..."
