Shiraishi stopped at the door of the haunted house, wanting to hear what the two boys were going to say. The main reason was that they were quite warm and friendly. If he turned away and left, he would look very strange.
The two didn't chatter for too long and quickly got to the point:
"It's like this. We are art students in the Literature Department of Miwa University. Our major is video art. We plan to make a horror movie as our graduation project.
"But we have some disputes about how to act as a corpse. This time we went back to our alma mater to do a haunted house-themed activity, and we also wanted to use tourists to test whether the corpse we acted was realistic enough."
When Shiraishi heard this, he knew why the two men had brought up the matter of detectives first, and specifically asked him if he had solved many murder cases.
The boy with long hair is more straightforward.
The next second he spoke bluntly: "As a detective, I must have seen many real corpses. I hope you can help us experience the haunted house. We can give you a 50% discount on the tickets!"
After Shiraishi heard this, his eyes paused on the ticket price board at the door, wondering why the tourist just left so quickly.
Although the haunted house in front of us was covered with black cloth, we couldn't see the inside.
But judging from the leaky black cloth and the handwritten entrance and exit signs, it was very shoddy.
These two people dared to set the ticket price as high as a serious haunted house in an amusement park.
Suzuki Sonoko is a frequent visitor to the amusement park. She originally didn't care about the price, but because Mao Lilan insisted on going AA with her, when making travel plans, Suzuki Sonoko would also consider the cost in advance to avoid hurting her friends' wallets.
So she quickly discovered the problem with the ticket prices: "Tickets for the Haunted House in Dorobiga Park are not that expensive."
The man with the eyes pushed up his glasses and sighed: "Our props also cost money, as well as the cost of filming the movie later..."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. Apparently he also discovered the mistake in this pricing plan. The people who came before did indeed leave after seeing the fare.
So he secretly stretched out his foot, kicked the small wooden sign with the price written on it under the table, gritted his teeth and changed his words: "Since you are here to help, let's get a 10% discount today!"
"..." Shouldn't we pay for it? Shiraishi mentally deducted a 0 from the ticket, but found that it was still expensive. It would be better to spend the spare money to buy a magazine.
And he has no interest in haunted houses. The essence of haunted houses lies in suddenness. Because the environment is dark enough, something will suddenly jump out, which is scary enough.
But Shiraishi has night vision and can see clearly at a glance. He can even count the number of spider threads hanging in the corner. I really don't know why he would spend money to enter such a narrow and unclean place.
He was about to decline politely.
However, at this moment, suddenly a blue-faced "zombie" poked his head out of the black cloth, holding a struggling little boy in his hand.
The "zombie" was a woman, who seemed to have a bad temper. She shouted irritably: "A door less than four meters wide, with two people looking at it, can actually let a naughty child sneak in! You two are really good at it. Don't use your eyes.
Why don't you donate it to our team as a prop?"
Shiraishi was about to refuse when he stopped speaking.
Of course, it wasn't the zombie that attracted him, but as soon as the man poked his head in, Shiraishi heard that there was an additional mission.
"..." He glanced at the two students standing at the door. They were all to blame for this. They couldn't even close the door. He let Conan in and walked around to see if something happened now.
Shiraishi took Conan and put it aside casually, responding to the two boys' previous invitation: "Okay, I'll go in and take a look later."
When the two men and one woman heard this, they were all startled. They didn't expect that they could really deceive the guests.
Shiraishi was also looking at these three people and felt that the number of people was not right. He had to choose one of the three and add one more victim.
Just as this thought flashed across my mind, another head popped out from the gap in the black cloth at the door. It was a girl who looked a little dazed and asked confusedly: "...are there really guests willing to come?"
The "zombie" on the other side of the black cloth turned to look at her and said angrily: "Why haven't you put on makeup yet!?"
"Ah, I'm sorry." The cute girl tugged at the black cloth and defended softly, "But even if I drew it myself, Anai, you would definitely help me redraw it, so I might as well wait for you to come from the beginning...
…”
"..." The zombie paused. Thinking about it, he thought it actually made sense, so he said no more and dragged her away.
The black cloth at the door shook for a moment, and calm returned.
The two boys turned back to look at Shiraishi: "We can go in in about ten minutes."
Conan was captured from the haunted house without finding anything, and quietly ran to a nearby stall to ask the stall owner about the situation.
After learning that the two boys had indeed been guarding the door, he temporarily ruled out the suspicion that they were the cleaners.
But that's not necessarily the case for the two girls - since no guests have come and the haunted house is so dark, who knows where they went on the way.
Of course, the murderer may not actually be hiding in the haunted house, and the possibility of catching him is very slim.
But Conan really had no other pursuit direction. It was better to temporarily set a search target than to run out of the school gate and shout "Damn it!" to the traffic outside.
It was indeed dark in the haunted house, and the road was very winding. He had just completed half a turn before he was caught.
But the detective didn't give up easily.
He touched his pocket and slapped the money into the hands of the two boys at the door - he couldn't sneak in and take a look, and he was a tourist with Shiraishi, so he couldn't drive him away again.
Conan was determined to go in, so Mao Lilan had no choice but to follow him with a blue face.
Not to mention Suzuki Sonoko, as early as when Shiraishi agreed, she had already thought about how to scream in a panic and yet weak manner.
She thinks this is a rare opportunity.
The suspension bridge effect appears in various love guidance manuals. Suzuki Sonoko has long wanted to take Shiraishi to Dorobiga Paradise and experience the scream package, but she has never been able to express it.
After all, there are too many problems with bringing a narcoleptic to play with those things - what if he falls asleep on a dangerous project and breaks his neck. And if Shiraishi sits on the chair below and watches him play... Not only is it impossible to cultivate
"Heartbeating feeling", after he falls asleep, he may be picked up by a strange nymphomaniac, which is not worth the gain.
Just play with equipment like the merry-go-round, which is very childish and a bit boring.
Ever since Suzuki Sonoko discovered that she was a cute dog, she has worked tirelessly on many strategies and summed up her own set of experiences.
She felt that what happened during the date would directly affect the other person's perception of her, just like a poor man who heard the song in front of the lottery store when he won a million-dollar lottery. When he heard that song in the future, he would think of the day he won the lottery.
, the mood becomes better.
On the contrary, if a person is unlucky enough to be hit by bird droppings when he goes out, and is very sad while washing his hair and clothes to check whether there are any viruses in the "gifts" that fell from the sky, a song will be played on a loop. When he hears it later
That song, he will immediately think of the smell and shape of bird droppings...
Anyway, I just want to tie myself to his happy memories.
Although the experience of the haunted house is not pure joy...but it can definitely arouse boys' protective desire!
Thinking like this, Suzuki Sonoko secretly took a throat lozenge.
There's another reason why you can't ride the merry-go-round.
Suzuki Sonoko has long discovered that Shiraishi's attitude towards her seems to be no different from that towards Conan and his friends.
Moreover, although there is no evidence, from the occasional glance at various posters Shiraishi cast when shopping, Suzuki Sonoko noticed that he seemed to prefer mature models.
...I am already smaller than him and cannot meet the hardware requirements. If I drag Shiraishi to play the merry-go-round with me, isn't that just widening the gap infinitely!
In short, I must experience the haunted house I encountered by chance this time. Suzuki Sonoko clenched her fists and ignited an illusory fire behind her back.
Shiraishi didn't know that the man next to him was munching snacks while already coding a strategy manual in his mind.
He only knew that if there was any case after entering, he might not be able to put the main body into the Poké Ball smoothly. After all, many people have the habit of grabbing something when they are nervous.
Now I can only pray that the two girls will not scratch their clothes, especially Mao Lilan... He quite likes this one.
