Leisure time always flies by, and it’s midnight before you know it.
"Sorry! I disturbed everyone's enjoyment."
While everyone was having fun, the twin maids suddenly came over, bowed slightly to Suzuki Haruaki and the others and said: "Dear guests, this mansion has an unwritten rule, that is, every time at midnight
, the Mask Hall will be locked.
As long as the Masquerade Hall is locked, the east wing and west wing can no longer be connected to each other.
Therefore, we must ask everyone to go back to their rooms to rest before this happens, and we ask for your cooperation."
Suzuki Seimei was a little curious and asked: "Is there any explanation for this rule?"
"Because Shawl's masks always like to play pranks and will run out to play without permission as soon as midnight, so we must lock them in the mask hall."
Hearing the explanation of the twin maids, Mao Lilan's face instantly turned pale.
Mao Lilan, who felt a little scared in her heart, subconsciously hugged Hui Yuan Ai into her arms and said with a stiff smile: "It... they will run out and play on their own..."
"It's just nonsense!"
When Mouri Kogoro and Conan heard this, they couldn't help rolling their eyes.
"This is true, because every time after dawn, those masks will either tilt left and right, or fall directly to the ground. This has happened too many times in the past."
The twin maids explained it seriously, then bowed slightly to everyone and said, "That's why I have to trouble everyone. Now you can prepare to go back to your room to rest."
Although Mouri Kogoro and the others do not believe in such nonsense as cursing the mask, it is just a matter of guest and host.
Since this was the rule set by Su Fanghongzi, it was not easy for these guests to violate it, so they all went back to their rooms to rest.
Compared to Mouri Kogoro and others who only believe in science, Mouri Lan is dubious about the story and legend of the cursed mask.
In order to gain some sense of security, Mao Lilan simply took her to her bedroom under the pretext of chatting with Haihara Ai, and planned to hold her and sleep with her tonight.
"Hululu..."
On the other hand, Mouri Kogoro slept very well. Not long after his head touched the pillow, he fell into sleep.
It's just that Mouri Kogoro's thunderous snoring made Suzuki Seimei and Conan suffer in the same room with him.
"Conan, are you asleep?"
"not yet."
Because Kogoro Mouri snored so loudly, Suzuki Seimei and Conan were unable to fall asleep until two o'clock in the morning.
Suzuki Seimei suggested: "How about we chat for a while?"
"Okay, then..."
"Ding ding ding..."
Before Conan could finish speaking, a harsh phone ring suddenly rang, frightening the two little ones.
Mouri Kogoro was also awakened by the ringing of the phone. He subconsciously sat up from the bed and asked sleepily: "What happened?"
Suzuki Seimei was the first to run to the phone, turned on the loudspeaker button, picked up the phone and asked: "Hey! Who are you?"
"I am the messenger of Cursed Mask, Cursed Mask now..."
As soon as Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from the phone, and the tone was particularly sinister.
"The messenger of cursed mask? Then I am still the giant of light Tiga!"
Before the person on the other side of the phone could finish speaking, Suzuki Seimei suddenly cursed: "You're up late at night, why are you making harassing calls? Is there something wrong with your brain? Is there something you can't talk about tomorrow?"
"Dududu..."
Listening to the blind tone coming from the phone, Aikawa Touya was completely stunned.
What's going on?
Are all children today so bad-tempered?
That's right! It's almost two o'clock in the morning. If you wake someone up with a phone call at this time, it's no wonder that they feel angry when they wake up.
If you think about it this way, it's understandable... what a piece of shit!
"Idiot! What the hell are you doing?"
When Mouri Kogoro and Conan saw this, they almost fainted from Suzuki Seimei's magical operation.
Even if you want to hang up the phone, you still have to wait for the other party to finish speaking!
"Ding ding ding..."
Hearing the phone ringing again, Mouri Kogoro hurriedly stopped Suzuki Seimei and picked up the phone before him.
"I am the messenger of the Cursed Mask. The Cursed Mask is thirsting for blood. Who will become our victim? If we don't hurry up, it will be too late!"
Aikawa Touya finished what he wanted to say at a very fast speaking speed, and then hung up the phone decisively.
As long as I hang up the phone quickly enough, the person on the other end won't have the chance to hang up on me.
"Dududu..."
"What's going on?"
Listening to the blind tones coming from the phone, Mouri Kogoro felt bad all over.
Conan was the first to react, his face suddenly changed and he said: "Uncle Maori is not in good condition, Sister Xiaolan and the others may be in danger!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro hurriedly opened the door and rushed out, knocking hard on the door next door: "Xiaolan, open the door quickly!"
(__)(-.-)(~o~)……
Soon Mao Lilan and Haihara Ai, both in pajamas, yawned and opened the door, asking sleepily: "Dad, what happened?"
"As long as you are okay, others may be in danger. We have to meet up with others."
Seeing that Maori Ran and the others were safe, Maori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and shouted: "Conan, Seimei, hurry up and wake up Honami and ask her to get the key to the Mask Hall.
"
"knew."
When Suzuki Seimei and Conan woke up Shimogasa Honami and asked her to use the key to open the door of the Mask Hall, everyone was surprised to find that all two hundred Xiaobo masks had disappeared.
"Woooooooo..."
A strange whimpering sound suddenly came from upstairs, causing the expressions of everyone present to suddenly change.
Directly above the mask hall is Su Fanghongzi's dormitory. Combined with the strange phone call just now, it is very likely that she is in danger.
"Oops! Ms. Su Fang is in danger!"
"Mr. Mori, you can't get there."
Just as Mouri Kogoro was about to rush up the stairs to the third floor, he was stopped by Shitagasa Honami. She hurriedly explained: "The teacher's dormitory can only be accessed from the stairs in the west wing. I'll call Minami.
Open the door."
"What happened?"
"Why are you so noisy when you're up so late at night?"
Katagiri Masaki and the others were also awakened by the movement outside, and walked out of the bedroom in their pajamas.
"Teacher Su Fang, we may be in danger!"
"What did you say?!"
After learning that Su Fanghongzi might be in danger, the few people who were woken up did not care to complain and hurriedly followed Mouri Kogoro and others to the third floor.
