"Huh? Still alive?!"

Kuroba Kaito suddenly woke up from a dream.

…

After Pickman's explanation, several people finally understood what happened.

It turns out that eight years ago, the Beast Brotherhood did kill Kuroba Toichi by causing a performance accident.

However, for that assassination, the Black Feather Thief was mentally prepared early on.

At that time, the Beast Brotherhood already knew the true identity of the first-generation Kaitou Kidd, and had called and threatened Kuroba Toichi.

For the safety of his family, Kuroba Toichi had no choice but to resort to tricks and die alone.

Because once the Beast Brotherhood finds out that it can't steal Kuroba, it will inevitably turn its finger on Kuroba Chikage and Kuroba Kaito.

Therefore, during the performance accident eight years ago, Kuroba Toichi knew that there was a bomb on the roller coaster used for the performance, but he still got on it.

However, Black Feather Pirates has the physique of a dreamer. Even if he is killed in the real world, he will be reborn in the dreamland.

And before the incident happened, Black Feather Pirates left a series of clues.

The first is the secret base in Kaito Kuroba's bedroom, the mural of "The Phantom Thief Under the Moon" behind the full-length mirror.

This mural, including the "Ghoul Under the Moon" below, was commissioned by Black Feather Thief and Pickman.

Kuroba Toichi cannot complete such a difficult self-portrait for himself, so that Kuroba Kaito will know that there are others who know Kuroba Toichi's true identity.

Pickman is a slightly famous horror painter in history and the only ghoul painter in the world. As long as Kuroba Kaito wants to look it up, he can always find it.

Before Pickman disappeared, he left a message about Van Gogh's sunflower bush, which just led to the dreamland.

In other words, the series of clues left by Kuroba Thiouichi are not only to guide Kuroba Kaito, but also serve as a test.

"It seems that you passed Pirate One's test and did not let him down."

"congratulations."

Pickman put down the bones in his hand and congratulated Kuroba Kaito, just like the NPC that appeared after defeating the boss at the end of the game.

Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito felt a little ashamed.

In fact, Qin Zhibo was the key figure in solving this series of mysteries along the way.

If it hadn't been for Qin Zhibo, he wouldn't have even discovered that the self-portrait of "The Phantom Thief Under the Moon" was definitely written by a person that no one had ever heard of.

Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito looked at Qin Zhibo with eyes filled with gratitude.

"Then where is my father now?"

Knowing that Kuroba Toichi was still alive, Kuroba Kaito's tone calmed down a lot.

"I don't know either. I've been separated from him for a long time. I don't know exactly how long it was..." Pickman shook his head.

"But before we parted, he told me that he decided to go to the secret realm of Kadasi, where he would meet the gods of dreams and find the 'way' back to the real world."

"Dream gods?" Kuroba Kaito asked.

"Yes, the gods of dreams." The ghoul put down the bones in his hands and said solemnly: "The gods of dreams are the gods who rule the earth's dreamland, but in fact they are just a group of gods in the earth."

"They don't have much divine power and can only rule the Dreamland weakly; if they leave the Dreamland, they will have neither a place to live nor power."

"They will occasionally listen to the prayers of mortals when they are in a good mood, but mortals should never set out to find their residence in the cold wilderness - the onyx castle that stands on the peak of Kadath..."

"I have told Pirate One all this, but he insists that the gods of the dream can provide him with a 'way' back."

The so-called "way" back is naturally the way to return to the waking world.

Although Kuroba Toichi gained immortality in the dreamland, he missed his wife and children in the waking world, so he wanted to go back, no matter what form.

This persistence made Qin Zhibo feel a little moved. He had to sacrifice himself for the sake of his family, and for the sake of his family, he had to face challenges that ordinary people could never face.

Although dreamers can live forever in the dreamland, they are not invincible.

Once the dreamer dies in the dreamland, those who have a physical body in reality will lose the dreamer's ability from then on.

If there is no physical body in reality, we will die completely.

"Then how do I find him! How do I get to Kadath?"

Kuroba Kaito suddenly asked excitedly.

Pickman shook his head, "Sorry, I only know that Kadasi is located in the north of Dreamland."

Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In this huge dream world, how to find Kuroba Toichi?

But at this moment, Qin Zhibo had an idea and thought of a way.

"If it's a night dire, can it take us to Kadasi?"

"Since it is a castle in the wilderness, it should be easy to spot from a high altitude, right?"
