Chapter 103 Start to fool?
Okino Shi just slightly activated the magic power inside the gem, but he didn't expect that there was a cave inside the gem.
'This is... a technique?'
With the input of magic power, Okino's 'sight' suddenly entered the inside of the gem and saw what was inside. It was a strange spell, a pattern made of several black lines intertwined.
At this time, the stunned Mrs. Suzuki finally came to her senses. Seeing that Okino was a little dazed, she slowly asked in a low voice.
"Mr. Okino??"
"Ah, it's okay." Hearing the voice, Okino subconsciously withdrew his magic power, and the glowing black pearl gradually lost its luster. As for the spell, Okino also memorized it.
The reason why the black pearl can last for so many years is precisely because of the existence of this spell. If it relies on magic power alone, it can only last for a few months at most, but with this warlock, it is completely different.
It can independently absorb the free magic power from the outside world to replenish itself. However, since the end of the Dharma Era, the magic power in the air has almost disappeared. According to Okino Shi's estimation, this black pearl can last for another two or three years at most before it is almost completely gone.
It has no effect.
"Mrs. Suzuki, this is a black pearl. Please keep it."
"Oh, okay." Taking back the black pearl, Mrs. Suzuki looked a little hesitant to speak.
Noticing this, Okino raised his eyebrows in confusion and remained silent knowingly.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mrs. Suzuki to make up her mind, and with a sad look on her face, she revealed the difficulties that had been bothering her for a long time.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Okino. Recently, a friend of mine suddenly got a strange disease, and he has been in a coma since then. I have seen many doctors, but they have not been able to find out the cause. I would like to ask Mr. Okino to help me.
Let’s take a look and see what you think.”
Mrs. Suzuki's attitude turned 180°, and she suddenly became polite. On the other hand, Okino, although he was a little uncomfortable, couldn't help but feel dizzy after hearing Mrs. Suzuki's next question.
‘I am a magician, not a doctor or a nurse, so what should I do if a patient is unconscious?’ Complaints are still complaints, but a smile should still appear on the face without losing embarrassment.
"Ahem, Mrs. Suzuki, since the doctors in China are not good, then go abroad and see if you can get any unexpected results. Besides, I am not a doctor and I don't know how to treat patients."
Okino Shi's words were obviously a polite refusal, but Mrs. Suzuki seemed to be very insistent.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Okino, to tell you the truth, I once asked a mage to do some magic. He said that my friend was possessed by an evil spirit, so I doubtfully asked him to do a few magic tricks."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Suzuki paused for a moment. As a result, Okino Shiro could guess that if the other party really cured Mrs. Suzuki's friend's disease, nothing would happen to him.
Seeing that Okinawa still had no intention of agreeing, Mrs. Suzuki was about to say something but suddenly thought of something and spoke hurriedly.
"Mr. Okino, I think it's better to do this. I entrust you to go to my friend's house to help. As for the entrustment fee, it is 500,000. If my friend's disease is successfully cured, then an additional 1.5 million will be added, which is the total.
2 million yen, what do you think?"
"Ahem!" Upon hearing the number 2 million, Okino almost choked on his own saliva and looked at Mrs. Suzuki in astonishment.
This, this, this... this is too lavish, she is worthy of being the wife of the Suzuki Consortium, and she just casually said that 2 million was gone!!
The evil capitalism, Okino Shi once again realized the true meaning of these words.
but...
Well, capitalism is so great. Mrs. Suzuki, you are so great. How did you know that I am so poor these days that I have to wear my underwear outside my underwear? If I am really sleepy, I will give you a pillow. If you don’t want to code, just give me a reward.
"Ahem! Since Mrs. Suzuki has said so, I will go with you. But I have agreed in advance that if it is a symptom like a curse, I can remove it. If it is other symptoms, I can't do anything."
As for the 500,000 yuan, if the disease cannot be cured, Okino would have no shame in taking it.
"That's great. If you wait until the cruise ship arrives, I'll take you there directly." Mrs. Suzuki's face lit up and she couldn't wait to say.
"Uh, okay." Okino didn't expect the other party to be so anxious, but for the sake of two million, hehehe~ Who can go with the money? It's all ordinary people who will give you money.
Once the work is done, it won't be over until you agree to it. It's not practical at all to do anything in a hurry.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Mr. Okino."
After the preliminary arrangements were made, Okino breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a wry smile: "Mrs. Suzuki, just call me Okino. I'm only 21 years old now."
"Okay, okay, Okino, let's go out together." Mrs. Suzuki also showed a relieved smile on her face, but the sadness in her eyes was still keenly noticed by Okino.
Following Mrs. Suzuki's footsteps, the two of them walked out together, but at this time he suddenly realized a very important issue.
'Oh, by the way, where's Kaitou Kidd?'
After coming out, Okino said goodbye to Mrs. Suzuki directly. As the initiator of this banquet, it was not a very good idea to follow Mrs. Suzuki. If Okino really did this, I believe it would be reported in the newspaper the next morning.
A certain boy will appear, and even his name and background will be dug out.
Passing by a dining table, Okino picked up a drink and looked for Xiaolan and the others while walking. The search lasted more than ten minutes. It was really a very painful thing to find someone in a dimly lit venue.
"Hey, Xiaolan, Yuanzi, I finally found you."
Seeing that Okino was back, Sonoko let out a laugh and couldn't wait to ask: "Hey, what on earth did you say to my mother? It took so long."
Hearing this, Okino smiled bitterly: "It's nothing. Mrs. Suzuki asked me to treat a friend of hers. What do you think this is? My profession is to treat the dead. I didn't expect that I can treat the living today."
This is my first time seeing a doctor."
"Uh..." Yuanzi was speechless.
Xiaolan: "..."
Conan: "..."
Uncle: "..."
"By the way, I think about it, maybe I'm treating my cousin."
"cousin??"
Sonoko's expression was a little strange, as if she was curious about how Okino, a forensic doctor, was related to her seriously ill cousin, but she still told her the reason.
"Yes, I have a cousin who is seriously ill. My mother has gone to many doctors but nothing can be done. I also heard that a mage came here a while ago and said he wanted to liberate evil spirits."
When talking about the latter part, Yuanzi's tone was obviously a little exaggerated, and it was obvious that she did not believe that there were any ghosts in this world.
"Well, I heard what your mother said about this. I came here this time just for your cousin. Although I am not a doctor, I am sure that your sister's disease cannot be cured by ordinary scientific methods."
"????Okino, why do I feel that you have changed?"
"Um, why has it changed?"
"Well...how should I put it, I feel the scent of a magic stick in you."
