The setting sun lengthens the shadows, and the crows fly away screaming, as if they are also afraid of the darkness here.
Five primary school students gathered at the iron gate. Looking at this eerie haunted house, the three real children, including Guangyan, who believed in Ke Xue, could not help but swallow, their faces full of solemnity.
They are fully prepared for this adventure!
"Everyone, take out the things you brought!" Yuantai gave the order and began to take a pre-war material inventory.
"This is my metal ghost-killing stick!" Yuantai took the lead in showing off the baseball bat that could bring him Courage 10 this time.
"I brought snacks to satisfy everyone's hunger~" Bumi, who works as a logistics supporter, showed off the snacks in her backpack.
"I prepared five flashlights and a compass to indicate the direction..." Mitsuhiko, who was calm and careful, took out the most practical props in this adventure.
"The lucky bracelet I made myself." Bai Jingjiu cooperated and took out five bracelets of different colors intertwined with white hemp rope, with rice balls, moon-like headbands, compasses, pipes, and gourds hanging on them.
A stone pendant.
Conan also noticed that four of the five had the transmitters he had placed on Shiraijiu before - one for each. They were pretty good at using them, but that was too much.
Before Conan could finish his rant, he saw several children who were very happy with Shirai Kyu's hand rope looking at him - Shirai Kyu also mixed in and stared at them.
"Conan, what about you?" Ayumi asked expectantly.
"..." Conan, who didn't take this matter seriously at all, was really unprepared and came with his smart brain, "I didn't bring..."
In other words, it's just a trip to a dead-end bungalow. Is it such a serious thing? And this guy Shirai, at first he looked like he wasn't interested and didn't want to play with children, but in the end he was actually prepared. It's ridiculous.
Having said that, if you really want to talk about it, does the transmitter on the hand strap count as something you prepared yourself?
While humbly accepting the occasional reminders, warnings and intimidations from Shiraiku mixed with "yes" from his little friends, Conan complained inwardly unconvinced.
However, Mitsuhiko is not very interested in scolding others from a high position. He prefers to persuade others with reason. But now, it is obvious that the ancient bungalow is much more important than preaching.
He walked to the iron gate and pushed it open, only to find that it didn't move at all.
"This door can't be opened!"
Mitsuhiko's words caught Genta's attention. He gave up on Conan and turned around proudly, "Don't worry, I have a way!"
"When I was surveying the terrain yesterday, I discovered another entrance, a very secret entrance!"
Good guy, he will also survey the terrain in advance. This kid still has some ideas.
Baijiu sighs like an elder.
The group of people came to a path covered with weeds on the side of the bungalow. The depth of the weeds had reached the height of the primary school students' shoulders. It was like walking on the primitive landscape, giving it an adventurous atmosphere.
Conan dragged Shiraijiu and deliberately fell behind.
"Hey, why did you put the transmitter on those brats?"
"Because it's useless to leave it here with me. If you leave it with them, if they get lost, you can find them all by yourself. Isn't that good?"
"It's not a bad thing..." Conan understood Shiraijiu's consciousness. Now it seems that these few are naughty children. The ancient bungalow is not too small. If a few people are separated, it will be difficult to find them.
It is really convenient to have a locator to see their location at any time.
But that being said, Bai Jingjiu used the transmitters he secretly placed on her during this period. There were four of them, one at a time. Doesn’t this mean that all his thoughts a while ago were in vain, and he was also
Did Shiraijiu see everything?
When he thought of this, Conan was so angry that his teeth itched.
This guy Shirai must be secretly laughing at him!
The road was not far away. After trudging for a while in the grass, Yuantai stopped in front and propped up a wooden board on the wall. "It's right here. This is the only place you can go in~"
The wooden board made a "karma" sound, revealing the scenery inside the wall. The height is just suitable for a primary school student to enter and exit-or an adult to crawl in and out-commonly known as a dog hole.
Yuanta took advantage of the small wooden door, and the other four elementary school students entered one after another. After they all came in, Yuanta opened the door, and the three excited real elementary school students immediately ran inside, eager to open up a new world. Only Conan
He stayed where he was, staring at the door thoughtfully.
"There's no need to guess, it's just man-made." Shiraijiu stood not far away and urged Conan coldly, "Obviously there are people living in this house. So do you really want to let those three children run around?"
After hearing this, Conan stopped thinking about them and started thinking about Shirai Ku.
"I really wanted to ask this before. I feel like you are very careful in your observations. Your logic is much better than that of ordinary people. You can always deduce some details and truth quickly."
"?" Bai Jingjiu glanced at Conan without any fluctuation, not quite understanding what this man wanted to say, "Oh, what next."
"..." Conan was choked for a moment by Shiraijiu's cold and flat answer. However, they had been together for a while, and he quickly adapted to it, "So, I want to ask, are you
Also interested in reasoning?"
Careful observation, meticulous logic, and some ability to associate are indeed essential qualities for a detective, but no one stipulates that people with these three qualities must be detectives or be interested in reasoning?
In other words, this kind of passive skill appearing in people who are not interested in reasoning will only make such people feel more boring about the world - because they can see too many things clearly, they understand how dark the world is, which leads to
Misanthropy or something like that.
Of course, Baijiu, as a puppet master, is stuck in the dark edge of the world, so he would not have this kind of mentality. And the reason why Conan thinks that he is careful and logical is because he has lived a long time and is extra experienced.
.
Shiraijiu ignored Conan's question. Genta happened to find a back door and was testing the door handle.
"Huh? The door is not closed!" Yuantai said as he gently opened the door.
Encountering this kind of thing, even Kudo Shinichi, a high school student, inevitably became curious, and he and the three children poked their heads in and looked inside——
——It was dimly lit inside, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen except a vague outline.
The dark and gloomy environment made the children's courage -3, and at the same time, it started to rain in the sky.
Ayumi couldn't help but want to retreat: "I... we'd better go back... it's starting to rain..."
Although Yuantai was a little scared, his courage made him not allow his friends to give up halfway, "Coward! They are all here, fly in and take a look!"
He was so clever that he even thought of a way to provoke the general: "If you want to go back, just go back alone!"
With that said, Yuantai used his strong body to forcefully push the other two boys in.
"Why is this..." Ayumi was so aggrieved that she almost cried, and her eyes fell on Shirai Jiu, who was also a girl.
Shiraijiu didn't need Genta to push, and walked in without any emotion - she found that there was an incarnation of malice inside, human-shaped, with a thick and solid figure. At a glance, she could tell that it was the malice emanating from the same person for a long time.
Caused.
This level of malice incarnate has its own name - disgust.
