"But why did searching for information on that guy Hikage fail? It's just a photo, it shouldn't cause any problems, right?"
After briefly watching Kato Megumi demonstrate her Stand ability using her phone, Miyauchi Hikari was still slightly puzzled.
After all, they were siblings who grew up together since childhood. Even though her younger brother suddenly became exceptionally unfathomable over the past two months, in Miyauchi Hikari's heart, Miyauchi Hikage's image wouldn't change in a short period of time.
Moreover, under Miyauchi Hikari's instruction, Kato Megumi also searched for quite a few other people with supernatural powers, like Shinomiya Kaguya, Tonio, and Yaga Masamichi who rushed to Morioh Town today.
Even though Kato Megumi had only met Yaga Masamichi once, and the only information she knew about him was that he was the principal of Jujutsu High, her phone could still accurately display Yaga Masamichi's appearance, and quite keenly analyzed from the calluses on his hands that he was good at handiwork and needlework, things that ordinary people wouldn't notice.
To put it bluntly, if the current Kato Megumi debuted as a high school detective, basically she only needed to take a stroll around the crime scene and look at the situation, and she could probably discover the murder method and find the real culprit within a minute.
With this efficiency, Conan and Kindaichi would have to bow down in defeat.
Furthermore, according to Kato Megumi herself, she felt that she could now ensure that no one on the internet could find any information related to her.
If her Stand ability could grow further in the future, perhaps she could reach the level of erasing all traces of her existence in reality as well, making it impossible for others to investigate her.
From this point of view, the true ability of Kato Megumi's Stand should be related to "information"—one aspect targeting others' information, and the other concealing her own information.
If this Stand ability was placed in front of Kira Yoshikage, that guy might really choose to exchange Killer Queen for this Stand in order to completely hide his information.
After all, Killer Queen only made cleaning up corpses a bit more convenient, but this Stand meant that even if a corpse was left behind, no one could find traces of the murderer from the corpse, making it completely impossible to find the murderer's whereabouts.
Listening to Miyauchi Hikari's inquiry, Kato Megumi pondered for a while, then tilted her head: "I can't say exactly why either. I just have a feeling that it keeps reminding me not to think about investigating anything related to Hikage-kun, otherwise some not-so-good things might happen."
Kato Megumi's explanation obviously couldn't satisfy Miyauchi Hikari. She puffed her cheeks slightly: "What's this? Acting all mysterious. Is that guy Hikage really that scary?"
Muttering like this, she lightly kicked her brother's calf: "It's probably your fate ability affecting Megumi's Stand, right? Why don't you withdraw your ability and let Megumi try again?"
Before Miyauchi Hikage could even express his stance on this, Kato Megumi shook her head first: "There's no need. I feel that no matter how we test it, it probably won't change. It should be that Hikage-kun's existence itself has already exceeded my Stand's ability."
Hearing this, Miyauchi Hikari scoffed softly again, seeming to express that no matter how special her brother was, he was still just her younger brother born half an hour later than her.
Miyauchi Hikage, however, looking at Kato Megumi's certain appearance, instead felt that Kato Megumi might have really sensed something from him through her Stand.
After all, he had just sensed the power of Wonder of U being triggered once by Miyauchi Hikari, but didn't feel this fluctuation from Kato Megumi.
This meant that the other party's Stand indeed never intended to investigate his information from the very beginning.
Investigating but finding nothing, and not intending to investigate at all—although the results look similar, the process and the essence of the ability are completely different.
Could it be that Kato Megumi's Stand also had a hidden attribute of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, knowing that he couldn't be provoked, so it simply excluded him?
This indeed fit Kato Megumi's performance in the original work quite well.
She just calmly stood there, seemingly doing nothing, having no presence, and even less intentionally doing any competitive actions, yet she logically overpowered Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri to become the final winner.
For this, she even earned the nicknames "Saint Megumi" and "Zhuge Megumi" (referring to Zhuge Liang, a brilliant strategist).
From this point of view, this Stand's ability also seemed to have a feeling of "devising strategies within a command tent to ensure victory a thousand miles away" and "brushing off one's clothes and leaving after the matter is done, hiding one's merit and fame deeply".
Even without combat power, Kato Megumi's Stand was considered a relatively overpowered Stand in Miyauchi Hikage's heart.
Were these Stand abilities because he prematurely exposed the fact that Kato Megumi was awakening a Stand, causing changes in Kato Megumi's willpower and cognition, which then led to Kato Megumi's ability turning into its current appearance?
As Miyauchi Hikage pondered this, Miyauchi Hikari on the side seemed to have thought of something else.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. So what about a name? Megumi, have you thought of a name for your Stand? Did you have any names you were satisfied with before?"
"I heard from Mashiro that a Stand's name is usually taken from a favorite band or song. I've also found quite a few songs I like these past few days, planning to pick a suitable name from them after my Stand awakens."
Saying this, Miyauchi Hikari also took out her phone and started searching for currently popular music on a music app, intending to give her friend a nice-sounding and fitting Stand name.
Kato Megumi's performance appeared much calmer.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I never thought I would be the one to awaken a Stand before. But I can directly ask the phone and see if it has its own ideas."
Saying this, she actually took the phone and asked this question.
But what was somewhat noticeable was that her phone didn't give a direct answer, but instead showed the back image of a Tarot card.
"Is this a Tarot card?" Miyauchi Hikari muttered, "So, your Stand named itself 'Tarot Card'?"
Miyauchi Hikage had long been accustomed to his sister's usual airheadedness.
He coughed lightly and reminded his sister: "Is there a possibility that this is reminding Megumi that she can use Tarot cards to determine her Stand's name?"
"Is that so? But isn't naming it with a Tarot card a bit too hasty?" Miyauchi Hikari replied blankly.
"According to the information I know, there is indeed a portion of Stands that are named after Tarot cards. To be honest, if I awakened a Stand, I would probably also use a Tarot card to determine my Stand name."
Saying this, Miyauchi Hikage snapped his fingers lightly, then flipped his hand and grabbed a deck of Tarot cards.
"The only problem is that using Tarot cards for naming might easily lead to name clashes, but adding a prefix will solve it."
He casually shuffled the Tarot cards in his hand, spread them out, and placed them in front of Kato Megumi for her to choose.
Actually, at this moment, Miyauchi Hikage already had a premonition of which card Kato Megumi would draw, and perhaps Kato Megumi herself felt it too.
But watching this known fate truly happen in front of them still made one sigh that this was indeed fate.
As Kato Megumi turned over the Tarot card depicting an old man holding a lantern without any hesitation, Kato Megumi's Stand logically became "The Hermit".
"The upright Hermit, it fits your Stand very well." Miyauchi Hikage handed this card to Kato Megumi as a memento for her.
Kato Megumi carefully accepted this Tarot card. Looking at the darkness in the background of the Tarot card and the light in the hands of the Hermit old man, she pondered for a moment and then nodded easily: "Then my Stand's name will be Black Hermit."
"Black? Will that be a bit too gloomy?" Miyauchi Hikari stroked her chin, seemingly feeling this name wasn't girlish at all.
Miyauchi Hikage roasted helplessly: "Do you think Pink Hermit or Pure White Hermit would be very girlish? Since Megumi has decided on this name, then Black Hermit is her Stand name. Stop giving bad ideas."
"That's true. Black Hermit indeed sounds more serious," Miyauchi Hikari nodded, and then continued to ask Miyauchi Hikage, "Right, since Megumi has already awakened a Stand, what about the other girl who awakened a Stand? That girl you guys call Bocchi-chan. How is her Stand doing now?"
"I heard she awakened a very special Stand and directly took the money and ran away?"
Speaking of this, Miyauchi Hikari couldn't help but shiver. She definitely didn't want to awaken a Stand that took her money to eat, drink, and play outside.
She now couldn't help but pray slightly for the other party inwardly, hoping the other party's Stand wouldn't cause any more trouble for her.
Regarding this, Miyauchi Hikage spread his hands slightly.
"The other party is still in the stage where her Stand ability is running wild. Now those girls have all run out to find where her Stand went. I don't know if they have found it yet."
This was of course a lie.
Since Gotoh Hitori awakened her Stand, Miyauchi Hikage had been keeping an eye on her. Although not staring at her 360 degrees without blind spots all day, he was still very clear about her current location.
However, he looked at Kato Megumi.
"Megumi, with your Stand ability, can you find her whereabouts and analyze what her Stand ability is?"
Kato Megumi blinked, then shook her head uncertainly: "I don't know much about Miss Bocchi. I only heard her play a guitar piece on the bus when we took the car to Morioh Town, and then watched a few videos about Guitarhero online. So I also don't know if I can find her current location, but I can try."
Saying this, Kato Megumi took her phone and started searching for the current locations of Gotoh Hitori and her Stand.
The answer came very quickly. In just over ten seconds, a map of Morioh Town appeared on Kato Megumi's phone, with the accurate current locations of Gotoh Hitori and her Stand marked on it.
"How was this searched out? Didn't you say you could only analyze intelligence and information you already know?" Miyauchi Hikari asked curiously.
"Do you only listen to half of what people say? Isn't there more later? Under the condition of being connected to the internet, Megumi's phone can automatically collect and verify intelligence on the internet. This point is the most crucial, alright?"
In today's internet era, the internet covers the whole world. Basically, wherever there are people, there is the internet.
When Miyauchi Hikage himself previously obtained the Relic chip, he also simultaneously obtained a portion of network technology far exceeding the current era, making him a top hacker now.
It was just that his hacking technology could only be considered technologically ahead of its time, at most being called black technology.
Compared to a supernatural power like a Stand, which even among supernatural powers belonged to a special ability with a relatively high priority, even reaching the level of a rule, it was completely insufficient.
At least if Miyauchi Hikage wanted to achieve this level relying on hacking technology, he would need to spend at least over ten minutes. Unless he could install a tracking program on Gotoh Hitori's phone in advance, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to lock onto Gotoh Hitori's current location in just over ten seconds.
Miyauchi Hikage was also somewhat curious and asked Kato Megumi to search what method her Stand used to find the other party's location.
The phone provided several surveillance images from the street and a few 0-view videos that had just been uploaded not long ago. Then, it distinguished which was the main body and which was the Stand based on Gotoh Hitori's personality in Kato Megumi's cognition, as well as the people around Gotoh Hitori.
After seeing it, Miyauchi Hikage nodded at Kato Megumi: "Indeed a very powerful Stand. Moreover, with your personality, after that principal of Jujutsu High knows your ability, he'll probably offer very high benefits for you to join Jujutsu High."
What jujutsu sorcerers need is "abnormal" receptivity and adaptability, and Kato Megumi naturally satisfies this point.
Because her overly stable emotions could indeed be considered abnormal. Through Miyauchi Hikage's observation, after awakening a Stand, Kato Megumi's physique had also undergone some changes, making her an exceptionally excellent jujutsu sorcerer embryo.
Coupled with this unique information processing ability, if there was a person like Kato Megumi in the rear, then logistics would hardly require any extra worry.
It was just that after Kato Megumi heard Miyauchi Hikage's words, her reaction was to look seriously at Miyauchi Hikage: "Then what about you, Hikage-kun? What do you think I should do?"
"Do you trust me that much?" Miyauchi Hikage asked in return, and received a nod from Kato Megumi without hesitation.
Looking at Kato Megumi's intention, it seemed she was prepared to completely follow his wishes. Whatever he said, Kato Megumi would do.
