Chapter 17 Ten years have passed and the world has not changed (Part 1)
Asheng Cheng is now Ji Xing's personal doctor. In addition to occasionally checking Ji Xing's physical growth, he is also responsible for his diet, housework, and most importantly... making money to support Ji Xing.
Children cannot make money, and it is not convenient for Ji Xing to ask for money from his family or withdraw money from the club. Of course, after Ji Xing returns to 18 years old, Ji Xing will give Aso a sum of money that is enough to make him wealthy and free as a reward.
Judging from the current development situation of Tabletop Games Co., Ltd., this is very easy. After releasing new character cards as planned and enriching the gameplay, "I Am Detective" has become even more popular, with monthly sales exceeding 100 million yen.
The emergence of collection cards and special cards has also made children who love collecting cards very fond of it... Of course, it is still far behind Kamen Rider if you want to compare it.
Aso realizes that he doesn’t hate his current life either. Since his parents and sister were burned to death in the fire, and his adoptive parents also died one after another, he has been alone and careless in this world.
Ji Xing suddenly appeared to help him take revenge and prevent him from falling into the abyss. He was grateful in his heart... Even now, he still doesn't understand how Ji Xing knew about his hatred and why he could strangely change. Become a child.
“You’re back? Are you ready to eat.” He looked out from the kitchen with a sweet smile.
Just like a male mother.
Because female doctors will get some conveniences in their work, and because of habits, Aso still retains female makeup and appearance.
After all, I have been a female doctor for more than three years, and I am not used to being a man again.
And this year, due to the chaos of time in Ke Xue's world, he felt that it only lasted a few days, and it was still too early to change it.
Even if a year ago it was 1994 and now it is 1995, he doesn't feel there is any problem. He doesn't feel that he should be older after one year.
In Aso Minoru’s eyes, Ji Xing is not growing up, but recovering.
Even felt that Ji Xing recovered very quickly.
“We have to get ready to move.”
Aso Minoru was startled, but he was mentally prepared. He smiled and said, "Yes, some time ago my neighbor asked me if my brother had suddenly grown a lot taller. It felt strange. Where are we going?"
“Let’s go to Kobe.” Ji Xing said.
“Okay, I’ll resign tomorrow.”
As long as you don't go back to Tokyo, there will be no problem. Only in Tokyo it is easy to meet "old acquaintances" who know what he looked like when he was a child, causing unnecessary trouble.
As for the black organization? They couldn't even find Hui Yuan Ai, so how could they find the smaller version of themselves?
Ji Xing took off his shoes and entered the house. He washed his hands first and then went to the coffee table to pick up today's newspaper and read it.
In today's world where the Internet is underdeveloped, newspapers and television are the best channels to learn all kinds of information.
‘New detective? Tedan High School girl Suzuki Sonoko solved the magic murder case! ’
“Is it the sleeping Suzuki Sonoko this time?”
Every half month or so, Ji Xing can see a similar report in the newspaper, but most of them are about the sleeping Moori Kogoro.
That’s right, every half month.
Detective Conan is joked by everyone that people die every day, and sometimes several die at once. Conan dies wherever he goes, but when he entered the world of Conan, Ji Xing discovered that this is not the case. It is just the day when the person dies will be "compiled into a series."
There is still a quiet time in the middle of the episode, otherwise cases would be solved every day, and Kogoro Mouri would be able to close two buildings just by collecting the commission fee.
This year, Conan has solved a total of 22 cases. Although it is still an exaggeration, it is still within a reasonable range.
"Based on this frequency, when I am eighteen again, Conan's plot should reach around 300 episodes... It's not too late." Ji Xing calculated.
…
In Demon Continent, a bowl of clear noodle soup, two poached eggs, Ji Xing is cooking again.
There was a sudden knock on the door. Ji Xing paused, sniffed lightly, and went to open the door with a noodle bowl. Standing outside the door was a young man wearing black clothes and carrying a long knife at his waist.
“Yi Nan? Uh, have you eaten?”
The young demon hunter was stunned and nodded.
“Do you still want to ask me if you have any questions? Or is it against the rules that I told you the story of that day when setting up the stall today?” Ji Xing asked.
"No, it's not." The young man shook his head: "Can you... teach me how to play chess?" "Learn chess?" Ji Xing was stunned.
…I can give you money.”
"No, no need." Ji Xing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You are my savior. Why do you ask for money for such a small thing? Come on in and sit down."
He brought the noodle bowl to his mouth and sucked hard.
Hululu—
The remaining noodles were swallowed into the mouth. Ji Xing chewed them and said to Yi Nan: "Wait, wait for me."
Hurryly clearing the table, he put the chessboard on the table and asked: "Why do you think of learning chess? Do you have any foundation before?"
"I just...want to learn. I only know the basic rules, but I have never played them before." Yi Nan said.
"The horses are walking over the mountains with the sun slanting and the cannons are flying across the mountains. The chariots are flying straight across the fields. The pawns are walking across the river and the soldiers and elephants are not far from the veteran general?" Ji Xing opened his mouth.
Yi Nan’s eyes lit up and he nodded.
"It's easy to talk about it if you know this. There are three stages in chess, the layout stage, the middle game stage, and the endgame stage. If a novice learns chess, we should start from the back and learn **** the opponent first, and understand various chess killing methods. .”
Ji Xing searched for the chess pieces, and in a few or two strokes, he created a simple endgame on the chessboard. The red side's attack was fierce, and it could be a killing move in two moves.
“Come on, let’s give it a try?”
Although the endgame is simple, for a novice who is new to chess and has no experience and no clear ideas, it is difficult to see through the key points at a glance.
After Yi Nan made a mistake, Ji Xing explained the correct move to him again, and then successively presented several variants of similar endgames. Yi Nan gradually grasped the path, attacked in place, and successfully checked Ji Xing once. He couldn't help but reveal his emotions. Happy smiley face.
This smile... actually looks kind of pretty?
Ji Xing frowned, feeling suspicious, and asked directly: "Yi Nan, are you...a girl?"
Yi Nan was stunned: "Ah? No, why do you say that?"
"...It's okay, I'm sick." Ji Xing shook his head. Is it because Aso has been exposed to reality for a long time or because he has read too many plots in similar novels? What am I thinking?
“Come on, continue.”
Yi Nan is very smart. After finding the way for the first time, he became more enlightened and quickly mastered the five basic killing methods.
An hour passed unknowingly. Yi Nan suddenly looked out the window, the smile on his face faded, and said, "I have to go."
“Oh, do you want to patrol? Thank you for your hard work.”
Yi Nan smiled shyly: "Well... can I still come over tomorrow?"
Ji Xing nodded: "Of course, you can come whenever I'm at home."
"Thank you." Yi Nan said, "And... I come to learn chess from you every day. Please don't tell anyone else, okay?"
Ji Xing was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to use this as an advertisement... "No problem."
Yi Nan smiled gratefully, stood up and left.
In the next few days, Yi Nan would come to Ji Xing to learn chess every day at this time. The time was not long or short, exactly an hour.
The two gradually became familiar with each other. Yi Nan and Ji Xing, who were a bit shy, even became a bit chatty after they got to know each other. From his mouth, Ji Xing could occasionally get some information that ordinary people in Demon Continent couldn't get, but nothing could be considered a secret.
I also know that this boy has been trained as a demon hunter since he was eight years old. He has no childhood, and even playing chess is very interesting.
The thing he is best at and knows best is killing monsters, so when the two of them chatted, he talked about things about killing monsters the most.
Ji Xing felt quite complicated after hearing this.
There is also a sense of humor that makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time.
