The red Lexus SC departed from Tokyo and headed to a mountain villa outside the city.
In addition to Chi Feichi and Utagura Akiko, they also went together with Okino Yoko who was curious about seances, and Odagiri Toshiya who was very curious about seances.
"Why did you come with me?"
Chi Feichi drove the car and gave a disgusting greeting that gave Conan a headache.
"Such an interesting thing, of course I have to come and take a look." Odagiri Toshi also put his hand on the car window and looked at the scenery of the woods along the road leisurely. "It's too boring to stay in the company all the time. It's rare that these woods are still like this in winter."
It is full of vitality, this trip is really the right one.”
Chi Feichi knew that there was nothing going on in the company recently, but he still complained, "You have changed and you are no longer conscientious."
"I have changed. After paying off the debt, I feel a lot more relaxed." Odagiri Toshi also smiled, "You, the former creditor, can't exploit me anymore, right?"
Chi Feichi cruelly reminded, "You still owe money to the Field Group, so I'm probably still half of your creditor."
Odagiri Toshi couldn't laugh anymore. Ban Yue glanced at Chi Feichi, "Then I won't give you the chance to exploit me!"
In the back seat, Okino Yoko adjusted her black robe, turned to Utagura Akiko with a smile, "Akiko, do you want me to put a blood stain on my face? Or how about a six-pointed star pattern?"
Odagiri Toshi also turned to look at Okino Yoko, "Yoko, you have already put on the black robe. It feels pretty good, but we are going to attend a séance, not a masquerade, right?"
"Ah, I'm sorry," Okino Yoko looked down at the black robe she was wearing, then turned to Utagura Akiko and apologized, "Because this outfit is so atmospheric, so I couldn't help but..."
"It doesn't matter. Today is not a memorial service anyway. To put it bluntly, we who want to hold a seance ceremony are just fooling around." Akiko Utagura relaxed a lot when she saw that the three people were no different from ordinary people who met for a trip.
"Has Ms. Yoko participated in similar séance rituals before?"
"Yes, I participated in it twice when I was in junior high school. At that time, this kind of spiritual séance ceremony was very popular in school, and the girls in our class often played together," Yoko Okino said with a nostalgic smile, "After that,
It must have been when I was in my second year of high school, the séance game became popular again in school, and I played it again with my classmates, and that was the last time."
"I'm about the same. This is the first time I've participated in a seance ceremony after leaving school," Akiko Utagura smiled, "Where are the president and Mr. Chi?"
"When I was in school, there was this kind of game in the school. It seemed to be related to some campus ghost story." Odagiri Toshi also turned sideways and shared his experience with the two girls in the back seat with a beaming expression. "It was actually a test of courage made up of male and female classmates.
The game is to hold a ceremony somewhere in the school in the middle of the night, and you can see the undead wandering around the campus. When we gathered at the school in the middle of the night, the girls were already so scared that as long as we shouted at them, they would
I was immediately frightened and screamed again and again, I like this opening ceremony the best!"
"Huh?" Okino Yoko was a little surprised.
Akiko Utagura was amused and joked with a smile, "During school days, the president was definitely a boy who was often chased and beaten by female classmates!"
"That way I can help everyone get into the state faster." Odagiri Toshi didn't feel guilty at all and was looking forward to the upcoming séance. "Do you want me to help you get into the state faster tonight?"
"If you tell me in advance, you won't be scared by the time." Chi Feichi said.
Odagiri Toshi also touched his chin, "That's right. If I had known better, I wouldn't have mentioned this..."
Okino Yoko, Utagura Akiko: "..."
Is it the consensus of all men that playing seance games is to scare girls?
"Fei Chi, what about you?" Odagiri Toshi also asked curiously, "Have you ever played this kind of spirit seance game before?"
"Sakura Academy has very strict patrols at night, so students cannot go to school in the middle of the night," Chi Feichi recalled the memory of the original consciousness, "I didn't participate in it when I was in Abedo High School. I have been studying since I went to college..."
"So you didn't participate?" Odagiri Toshi also became more enthusiastic, with a malicious light in his eyes, "Is tonight the first time?"
"It probably doesn't count." Chi Feichi glanced at Toshiya Odagiri. When it came to spiritual seance rituals, his experience was no less than those of these people. "I tried it once this year, with a girl who had delusions. She thought she was
The witch who controls magic pulls me to summon the projection of Satan in the world."
Koizumi Anko, who is far away in Tokyo: "...A sneeze!"
Odagiri Toshi also stared at Chi Feichi blankly for two seconds, then raised his hand to scratch his hair, "Is it when you were in the hospital? I feel like Qingshan Fourth Hospital is much more interesting than in your school..."
"ah!"
Akiko Utagura suddenly exclaimed, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and looked in horror at the gray-black snake head leaning over from the front seat to look at them.
Odagiri Toshi was also frightened by Utagura Akiko's cry, and turned to look at Utagura Akiko in surprise, "Is this going to start?"
"No, that..." Akiko Utagura raised her finger and pointed at Feichi.
Okino Yoko also saw Fei Chi and quickly explained, "It is Mr. Chi's pet snake. Its name is Fei Chi. You don't have to be afraid. It has a very docile personality."
"Yes, really..." Utagura Akiko looked at Feichi crawling out from under Chi Feichi's collar, still looking a little uncomfortable, "Mr. Chi, does he always carry it with him?"
Fei Chi crawled toward Odagiri Toshiya, stopped midway, turned around and looked at Utagura Akiko with an emotionless snake's eyes.
What? Isn’t it possible?
Akiko Utagura: "..."
The snake was scaring her with its eyes!
"Yes," Okino Yoko smiled helplessly, "Mr. Chi likes it very much and seems to always carry it with him. It usually stays under Mr. Chi's clothes."
"Min Ye, help feed Fei Chi some water, he is thirsty."
Chi Feichi was driving and couldn't spare any time. After hearing Feichi's appeal, he had no choice but to ask Odagiri Toshiya.
"Yes, yes..." Odagiri Toshi also saw Feichi crawling onto his lap, stretched out his hand to pick it up and looked at it, then turned to help Feichi find a bottle of mineral water, "Feichi was slow to crawl today because the weather has been too cold recently.
……"
…
As the sky darkened, the car drove along the forest path for a while and stopped in front of a villa with lights on outside.
After getting off the bus, Odagiri Toshiya, Ike Feichi, and Utakakura Akiko also put on the black robes required to participate in the seance and pulled up their hoods. In the foggy night of the forest, they looked like a few suspicious people attending an illegal party.
.
Fei Chi poked his head out of the brim of his black robe and took a look, then turned back due to the cold, "It's still very cold today."
Akiko Utakura took the lead and knocked on the door, "Teacher Hirasaka, I am Utakura! Are you here?"
A man's response came from the room, "Utagura, you're here, please wait a moment."
Akiko Utagura turned around and explained to the three men in black robes behind her, "Teacher Hirasaka Reiki is the original author of the "Black Magic Girl" manga and the organizer of this séance. This villa is where the first two
He bought it in 1999 to concentrate on his creation, because it was very pure..."
"Click."
The door was opened. The man behind the door was also wearing a black robe and pulled up his hood. He looked at the four people outside the door and raised his hand to pull off his hat, revealing long black hair and a handsome young face. "It wasn't last night."
Did you say you would bring one more person here? Akiko, why did you bring so many people here?"
"Sorry," Akiko Utagura also pulled down her hat and looked at the three people behind her, "because..."
"I just heard about this today," Odagiri Toshi also pulled down his hat and smiled like a company president at Liangzaka Reiki, "because I heard that you will ask Mr. Zenan about the ghost of Miss Xiaohuang.
Something happened, so I wanted to come and take a look.”
Reiki Hirasaka recognized Toshiya Odagiri and murmured in surprise, "President Odagiri..."
While talking, Chi Feichi and Okino Yoko also took off their hats.
Okino Yoko smiled kindly at Hirasaka Reiki, "I wanted to come with Akiko yesterday, but I was too shy to bother her. Today I heard that the president was coming, so I came together. I'm sorry.
excuse me."
"It's okay," Hirasaka Reiki came back to his senses and replied with a smile, "It's an honor for me to be able to meet Ms. Yoko in person outside of TV."
Utagura Akiko looked at Chi Feichi, "And this one is..."
"Mr. Chi, right?" Reiki Hirasaka said with a smile, "Mr. Zenan is the editor in charge of me. He told me about receiving an invitation from THK to help collect monster works. He also mentioned President Odagiri and
Mr. Chi, I also heard that Miss Chiga and Ms. Kuraki, who are currently popular in THK Company, were discovered by Mr. Chi. I have heard about Mr. Chi’s outstanding vision."
"Speaking of which, Mr. Zenan also mentioned to me Mr. Hirasaka that he is very good at drawing supernatural comics." Odagiri Toshi also turned to say something to Chi Feichi, and then looked at Hiraki Hirasaka with emotion, "
Mr. Zenan told me that you have recently been collecting stories about traditional Japanese monsters and have some creative ideas. If he had not passed away, I think we would have met long ago."
"Yes, I also feel sad and sorry about the murder of Mr. Zenan," Hirasaka Reiki's voice seems to be accustomed to being soft and slow, coupled with the downcast expression, it makes people feel that it comes from the heart.
Unfortunately, he quickly cheered up again, "However, I am still continuing to collect monster information. Mr. Zenan attaches great importance to THK Company's monster work project. Now that he has encountered misfortune, I have to prepare the work more seriously, so as not to
I failed to live up to his expectations of me during his lifetime."
This is a very good talker.
Chi Feichi made a judgment in his mind.
With Hirasaka Reiki's appearance, elegance and emotional intelligence, becoming an artist will definitely be very popular among girls.
"The publishing house should have a new editor to negotiate with THK, and they will also take over matters related to your new works," Odagiri Toshi also smiled, "It will not delay our cooperation by then."
"That's right... look at me, I kept talking and forgot to invite a few people into the house." Reiki Hirasaka opened the door a little and stepped aside, "We have prepared dinner. Fortunately, the portion is very large and should be enough for us.
