As is well known, the principle of the Impure World Reincarnation technique is to summon the souls that have long died back to the human world from the Pure Land. Although it is a cross-world technique, it is still one world in general, and the two worlds are closely connected.
A forbidden technique, Akutagawa Hiko didn't think could steal souls across worlds. If it actually succeeded, that would be dangerous, meaning the two worlds were actually very close and there was no world barrier between them.
Who knows if the old man from the Six Paths might take the opportunity to sneak over and take a look?
The Sage of Six Paths is clearly superior to the Impure World Reincarnation technique. He can even directly undo the Impure World Reincarnation when he is neither the caster nor the one being reincarnated.
However, Akutagawa Hiko did not intend to actually summon a soul from another world; he believed that one such special being was enough.
Akutagawa Hiko had seen an introduction to the Impure World Reincarnation technique in the Reputation Shop.
This technique uses the body of a living person as a container for the soul of the deceased, and is offered as a sacrifice to be consumed by a portion of the deceased's flesh, turning into dust, upon which the soul then attaches itself.
Naturally, it transformed into the appearance of the deceased in life.
Akutagawa Hiko pondered whether he could modify this ninjutsu to create only a shell without summoning a soul, or simply devour the soul of the sacrifice and cultivate a new soul from the flesh and blood tissue.
"I'll put it on my to-do list, but I'm not qualified yet."
Akutagawa knew this idea was somewhat crazy; things like life and souls often brought misfortune upon contact.
He didn't have many concerns, but his current strength couldn't cover his weaknesses; he would need at least a sixth-level method.
Moreover, our current knowledge base is somewhat insufficient, and without a solid foundation in the relevant fields, how can we improve and develop such a seemingly complex forbidden technique?
To preserve this invaluable research material, which he didn't know if he would ever be able to obtain again, Akutagawa Hiko specially exchanged for a sealing scroll and stored it inside.
Akutagawa Hiko was very satisfied with this lottery. The free ten-pull yielded a gold item, which can only be described in one word: awesome!
Now, even if we encounter so-called absolute defense ninjas in the arena, we don't have to worry about not being able to break through their turtle shells.
The next morning, Akutagawa Hiko arrived at his detective agency, yawning.
After working late into the night, it was inevitable to feel mentally exhausted, but thankfully, a short break in the cold wind quickly refreshed me.
Organizing the knowledge in your mind is itself a process of summarizing, consolidating, and understanding yourself, and the gains from this process are significant.
It certainly justifies a night's hard work.
Akutagawa Hiko's Dust Release technique can now change shape; he can create cuboids, cubes, cylinders, and cones, and even more complex shapes are possible, but his chakra reserves are insufficient.
The lady who came to pick up the cat today noticed that Akutagawa Hikaru was somewhat distracted while chatting, so she took out a boat ticket from her small bag, grasped Akutagawa Hikaru's hand, and patted it.
"Akutagawa-kun, have you been working too hard lately? Here's a cruise ticket. You can go on a trip and relax. Don't work too hard. Young people should take better care of their health."
After seeing off the kind lady, Akutagawa Hiko finally had a moment to look at the luxury cruise ticket. When he saw one of the islands it was docked at, his eyes lit up.
Moon Shadow Island, a place that had a profound impact on Conan, is where the murderer, his hands stained with blood, ultimately perished in flames in his quest for revenge. The piano music that played amidst the flames left an indelible mark on Conan.
From that point on, Conan began to consider things from the perspective of criminals who kill for revenge.
These two episodes brought back many memories for Akutagawa Hiko.
Of course, there is another reason.
The fact that the very handsome Asai Narumi, also known as Asai Narumi, was actually a boy greatly shocked Akutagawa Hiko's young mind.
Akutagawa Hiko and his friends once had considerable doubts about the gender of all the boys in their class who had such exquisitely modeled figures.
"But does the timing match up?"
If you go too late, you'll miss it; if you go too early, you might miss other potential cases here.
"I remember it happened on the third anniversary of the former village chief's death, the day a new village chief was elected."
Akutagawa closed the detective agency, went into an internet cafe, checked the information on Tsukikage Island, and found that tomorrow was the day. He also glanced at the cruise ship's docking time on his ticket, and it matched perfectly.
Choosing this date to stop might be to let tourists join in the fun, since things like electing a village chief are quite rare these days.
"Hmm...—..—"
The tickets only allowed four people, and what a coincidence! The Mori father and daughter joined Conan, making it exactly four people.
Luxury cruise ships are bound to be crowded, and with so many people, relationships become complicated. All sorts of grudges and romantic entanglements will inevitably erupt when Conan's death aura comes into play.
Akutagawa Hiko didn't mind earning some extra money while traveling.
After leaving the internet cafe, Akutagawa Hiko went to the Mouri Detective Agency to ask Mouri Kogoro for advice, citing his lack of experience in running an agency.
When asked for advice by his talented junior, Kogoro Mouri was so proud of himself that he patted Hiko Akutagawa on the back and boasted about his detective career.
When Ran Mouri and Conan were almost home from school, Hiko Akutagawa got up to say goodbye.
Ran Mouri frowned as she picked up the empty beer cans Kogoro Mouri had left behind, patiently advising him not to drink so much, explaining that his alcoholism and womanizing were the reasons he had angered his mother and caused her to leave.
Clearly, she wasn't entirely aware of the truth of what happened back then.
Kogoro Mouri didn't explain, saying that how could a man not drink? Wouldn't that mean missing out on one of the world's greatest pleasures?
"Hey, what's this?"
Ran Mouri picked up the ship ticket from the sofa and looked at Kogoro Mouri.
Kogoro Mori squinted, finally managing to make out from the swaying shadow that it was probably a piece of paper. His alcohol-corroded brain barely functioned: "Oh, Akutagawa was here just now, he must have left it."
After saying that, he slumped back onto the sofa.
Conan is still in the stage of being curious about everything about Akutagawa Hiko, and even standing on the sofa with his feet up, he can't see what it is.
Ran Mouri thoughtfully bent down, and Conan then read out the words: "Luxury cruise around the islands, family of four tickets, next stop, Moonshadow Island—."
Upon hearing the words "Tsukikage Island," Kogoro Mouri instantly perked up, dashing off in a flash. When he returned, he carried a letter of commission: "That's right, it's Tsukikage Island!!"
