Chapter 159: Asking God to do something comes at a price.
"In other words, Kudo is using this excuse to deceive Xiaolan." Suzuki Sonoko became angry when she heard this.

And at this moment, the look in Mao Lilan's eyes kept changing.

"I feel that deception is certain, but it may not be malicious," Nakamori Aoko added.

"Can deception be divided into malicious and good intentioned?" Suzuki Sonoko felt that Kudo Shinichi should not deceive his childhood friend.

"Don't be anxious, Sonoko. Think about it carefully. There must be a reason why Kudo hasn't shown up. Apart from the excuse of solving the case, is it that he doesn't have time to come to school, or is he unable to come to school due to some threat?" Nakamori Aoko continued.

"You can't come." After listening to Nakamori Aoko's analysis, Mao Lilan became even more worried.

"Xiaolan, I didn't mean to scare you, I just think you and I are too similar. So I was wondering, is there a possibility that Kudo-san is also very similar to Kaito?

And if that's the case, is it possible that the problems that Kaito faces are also faced by Kudo-san? With Kudo-san's relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department, there is nothing that can be guaranteed to be protected.

But if in this case, assuming that Kudo-san cannot show up, does it mean that the problem he is facing now cannot even be solved by the Metropolitan Police Department?" Nakamori Aoko continued.

"Aoko, do you mean that guy might have encountered an international terrorist organization?" Suzuki Sonoko asked bluntly.

"Xiaolan, don't worry so much. What I said is only the worst possibility. Can't you contact Kudo-san and ask him nicely? After all, if there is anything, just tell him and we can solve it together, which is better than him having to bear it alone." Nakamori Aoko then began to guide her.

"Sorry, Xiaolan, I didn't mean to say that, I just didn't realize it." Suzuki Sonoko also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly comforted Mouri Ran.

"It's okay, Sonoko, Aoko." Although Mouri Ran said this, she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

After quickly finishing lunch, Mao Lilan was a little absent-minded during the afternoon classes.

After taking a leave of absence from today's club training, Mao Lilan hurried back home and called Kudo Shinichi over and over again with her flip phone.

And with every fight, Mao Lilan's worries deepened by 10%.

"God, please bless Shinichi to be safe and sound." After making more than ten phone calls without success, Mao Lilan finally stopped and walked to the window with worried eyes to pray.

"Girl, I heard your prayer." Along with the voice, Li De finally found the right opportunity to appear.

"Lord Dragon God!" Ran Mouri was very shocked at this moment. After all, she has always been afraid of ghosts.

However, Li De's dragon form was not within her fear, so Mao Li Ran could still praise Li De despite being shocked.

"Yes, it is me! It's a rare opportunity for me to come to the human world, and suddenly I heard your prayer. It is fate, so I can fulfill one of your wishes." Li De then sat on the auspicious cloud and nodded slightly in response.

"Lord Dragon God has heard my prayer." Mao Lilan murmured in shock.

"So little girl, what wish do you want to fulfill?" Li De continued to ask.

"Can I ask the Dragon God to bless Shinichi to be safe and sound?" Mao Lilan made a wish to Li De.

"Of course not!" Li De refused.

"Eh" This time it was Mao Lilan's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Are you surprised?" Reed asked Mao Lilan.

"This..." Mao Lilan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"There is no need to be so restrained. It is enough to maintain the proper respect for the gods. You can still ask any questions you have. After all, you have a connection with this god." Li De saw Mao Lilan's concerns and explained.

"Then may I ask, Lord Dragon God, why can't you protect Shinichi?" Ran Mouri really wanted to know the reason.

"Little girl, once the gods promise something, they will definitely fulfill it. Mortals always ask for gods' blessings, but they don't know that no god will agree to such things, because if someone agrees to such a wish, it means that they have to pay attention to the object of the promise at all times, which is equivalent to being a nanny or bodyguard for mortals for a lifetime.

Even if gods are immortal, how could they be willing to waste decades of their time on a mortal? In addition, the god gave you the opportunity to make a wish because you have a connection with him. This connection can only be used by you, not as a favor to you.

Therefore, even if you made a wish just now to let me take care of that kid named Shinichi for only one day, I would definitely not agree to it, not to mention this kind of wish that blurs the concept of time, so think about it carefully again.

And before you speak again, you'd better think it through, and don't make a wish for someone else, or I will be very angry. Then, what was originally a good thing for you will become a bad thing. "

After hearing what Li De said, Mao Lilan's face turned pale.

After all, she didn't expect that there were so many tricks and taboos in making a wish to God.

After taking two deep breaths and forcing herself to calm down, Mao Lilan spoke again: "I ask Lord Dragon God to bring Shinichi to me."

"Is it about that kid again? Tsk tsk, you clearly had the opportunity to make a wish to me to obtain enough wealth to last you a lifetime, but I didn't expect you to have never even thought about such a wish and were only concerned about your childhood sweetheart.

But it doesn't matter. This time your wish is indeed related to you, so I agree. I have confirmed that I have received your wish and will bring Kudo Shinichi to you. I will start executing it now!"

After Li De finished speaking, the auspicious clouds beneath him began to swirl downwards, forming a pillar of cloud in front of Mao Lilan.

This was Li De's trick of covering his eyes. After all, the dignified Dragon God actually used magic. This picture looked a bit incongruous at first glance.

Therefore, Li De used the auspicious clouds he created to block the teleportation magic circle, and then directly teleported the child version of Kudo Shinichi who was doing homework in the office on the second floor.

When the auspicious clouds dispersed, Mouri Ran looked at Conan who appeared and mist suddenly rose in her eyes.

If someone else told Ran Mouri that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, she probably wouldn't believe it, after all, she had already tried Conan several times.

But the Dragon God in front of him would definitely not make a mistake in identifying someone, which meant that his previous suspicions were not wrong.

It also explains why Shinichi no longer appears.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't do it.

"Sister Xiaolan, I. Long?!" Kudo Shinichi was shocked when he found that the environment in front of him suddenly changed.

But he found that Mouri Ran was in front of him. He originally wanted to ask why he suddenly appeared in Mouri Ran's room, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a shadow above his head.

When he turned around, he found a fiery red dragon sitting on an orange cloud, looking down at him.

"Humph! Impolite little brat, I am the Dragon God." Li De couldn't help but snorted coldly. As Li De snorted coldly, Mao Lilan and Conan instantly felt the heat coming towards them.

But this heat wave came quickly and went away quickly.

If they hadn't clearly felt the temperature in the room rising a lot, they would have thought the heat wave was an illusion.

"I'm sorry, Lord Dragon God!" Kudo Shinichi, who usually dared to doubt everything, now did not dare to doubt that Li De in front of him was a fake.

"Little girl, according to your wish, the god Kudo Shinichi has been brought to you. But I have something to advise you, do you want to listen to it?" Li De immediately asked Mao Li Ran.

"Please tell me, Lord Dragon God." Mao Lilan replied respectfully.

"This kid has some karma with the Grim Reaper, and was given the Judgment Aura. Basically, wherever he goes, people will die. If it weren't for this special power, he would have died when he was knocked unconscious and poisoned for meddling in other people's business, instead of shrinking.

But this halo is not a good thing for ordinary people. It means that you are born with good luck. If other people had stayed with this guy for a long time, they would have damaged their luck and suffered bad luck.

Besides, not only did this kid's body become smaller because of the poison, but there were also some side effects in his body that cannot be seen for the time being. In short, I am not optimistic about the future of you two at all.

Apart from anything else, just letting you wait for thirteen years, you are already approaching thirty years old. If your feelings change during this period, your thirteen years of youth will be wasted, not to mention the special side effects that even mortal medicine cannot cure. "Li De stopped talking here.

After hearing what Li De said, Mao Lilan didn't even care about crying.

Kudo Shinichi on the side was also dumbfounded. He understood what Li De meant by the side effects.

He also understood the meaning of making Mao Lilan wait for thirteen years.

Because before Japan amended the law, men became adults at the age of 20, which means that if there is no change, it will take at least thirteen years before he can register his marriage with Mao Lilan.

At that time, Mao Lilan was already thirty years old.

"Lord Dragon God, I make a wish to you to heal Shinichi's body!" Mao Lilan, who also understood, immediately clasped her hands together and said to Li De in a standard bowing posture.

"Ran" Kudo Shinichi, who was standing next to him, looked at Mouri Ran and couldn't help but sigh.

"I have received your wish, but little girl, unlike the previous time when I gave you a chance to make a wish, you need to pay a price for making a wish to me." Li De reminded her calmly.

"I'm willing to pay any price!" Mao Lilan said firmly.

"Since you said so, I will fulfill your wish." Li De did not give Kudo Shinichi a chance to interrupt and promised directly.

Then a dandelion emitting soft light appeared in front of Li De, and then all merged into the body of Kudo Shinichi not far away.

The reason why Li De dared to agree was naturally because of Alexia's healing ability. There was an example of people who had been rejuvenated by APTX4869 and were restored to their previous state.

To put it bluntly, it is a question of health identification.

After determining that Kudo Shinichi was in an unhealthy state at the moment, these healing dandelions immediately began to exert their therapeutic effects.

In Mouri Ran's sight, Kudo Shinichi beside her began to grow between breaths, and then turned back into his previous high school student appearance.

It's just that Kudo Shinichi's look at the moment is a bit eye-catching, with torn children's clothes hanging on his upper body and his lower body tightly tied by torn strips of cloth.

After Mao Lilan took a look, she blushed and turned away.

After taking a glance, Li De curled his lips imperceptibly.

What's so embarrassing about a caterpillar? It's better not to look at it. Another day I'll let you see what a holy sword is. It's a brand new vibrating version of a 40-meter giant one, which will scare you to death.

Of course, Li De's thought only lasted for a moment, and then his attention was attracted by some special fluctuations.

This fluctuation only appeared after Li De enlarged Kudo Shinichi.

It seems that the world has undergone some special changes because of Kudo Shinichi's growth.

Although he was very curious, Li De did not go to explore.

Because his mind is not on this at the moment.

After seeing Kudo Shinichi covering his vitals and retreating to the side to block it, Li De exchanged for a master-slave contract and said to Mao Lilan: "Little girl, now it's time for you to pay the price."

"Slave contract?!" When Mao Lilan saw the contract floating in front of her, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded, because she didn't expect the price to be so huge.

Kudo Shinichi, who was curled up on the side, also didn't expect this.

"Little girl, it seems that you don't realize how difficult it is to make that boy bigger and eliminate the side effects on his body." Li De said after glancing at Mao Lilan indifferently.

"Xiaolan." Kudo Shinichi's voice stopped here.

Because at this moment he has turned into a stone sculpture.

"Shinichi!" When Mao Lilan saw Kudo Shinichi turned into a stone sculpture, she screamed.

"Little girl, he is not dead, so there is no need to be so heartbroken. This will just make him unable to speak temporarily. As long as you pay the price, this god can make him return to normal." Reed looked at Mao Lilan and continued.

"Lord Dragon God, can you tell me why the price is so heavy?" Mao Lilan asked Li De with an unwilling look.

"Little girl, any mortal who asks gods to do something will have to pay a heavy price, there is no doubt about that. It's just that some gods like bodies, and some gods like souls, so the price paid is not the same.

But this God doesn't value your body or your soul. What this God values ​​is your natural good fortune. If it weren't for this, do you think you, a mortal, could ask this God to do something for you?
Let's put it this way, anyone who can ask God to do something must have something that God likes. Otherwise, God would never bother with a worthless mortal. Do you understand now?" Li De asked Mao Lilan.

"Lord Dragon God, since you are interested in my good fortune, why don't you just take it away?" After listening to Li De's explanation, Mao Lilan completely understood the price mortals have to pay when asking gods to do things for them.

But she was still confused, or unwilling to sign the master-slave contract.
