Shinichi, that child, wouldn't listen to reason and tore down the shrine six years ago to build this puppet warehouse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Three years after the warehouse was built, retribution came; my granddaughter Misa and my daughter-in-law Kinuyo both hanged themselves in that warehouse, and later Negishi died there too...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Since that is the case, why doesn't Mr. Takeda make puppets in another place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Takeda Chie said in a low voice: \"Because in the entire Takeda family, only the puppets made there have a soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A soul?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze’s heart stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Spider Immortal, puppets, soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It sounded like there was a strong connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He used his Eye of Space to look inside the puppet warehouse, but there was nothing unusual even after looking through the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, when he went more than ten meters deep underground, a hollow space appeared, pitch black and leading to who knows where.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze narrowed his eyes, feeling he had figured some things out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He stood up to take his leave and turned to depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Takeda Chie watched his back, a look of pleading flashing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"All of this sin was caused by me;

the magic slave had already received the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pous Pous Qinglan got up, took off her clothes, put on a black bodysuit, and equipped her firearms and various weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then she followed Akaso Kaze into the Gate of Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the hillside where Misa was buried, Hattori Heiji and Takeda Shinichi finally arrived in front of the cave entrance halfway up the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hattori Heiji was panting heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn't understand why they had walked such a long distance in the middle of the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A young, beautiful woman stood at the cave entrance, and upon seeing the three of them, a look of sadness appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She covered her small mouth and said: \"Mother, you... you really brought Father here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kinuyo looked at her daughter, then turned to look at Takeda Shinichi, nodding faintly with a dull expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"All of this was caused by him; if it weren't for him, we mother and daughter wouldn't have become like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hattori Heiji was confused and couldn't help but interrupt their conversation, asking: \"Mrs. Kinuyo, isn't your daughter alive and well? Why do you say she is dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Misa looked over curiously, \"Mother, who is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"He is a high school detective I invited; his father is the Superintendent of the Osaka Prefectural Police.

You are Takeda Kinuyo, and she is Takeda Misa? Didn't you both die three years ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hattori Heiji felt something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He turned his head to look at Takeda Shinichi beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Takeda Shinichi’s eyes were vacant, and he stood there blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>By the bright moonlight, one could see a white thread connecting from his neck to under Takeda Kinuyo’s kimono.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hattori Heiji’s eyes suddenly widened, filled with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He looked down abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sure enough, an identical white thread was wrapped around his own neck, connecting to the same place.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You, what exactly do you want to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hattori Heiji’s teeth were chattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thanks to sky Xiamuo for the tip.\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-06-17T04:04:55.481Z","2026-06-17T09:00:09.809Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","678402834862483f826d721135a8431955a0483895a8916c48de1367eef943b1","conan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-chapter-205","conan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-chapter-203",403,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fconan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-cover.jpg"]
