Shiraishi's expression did not change, and he felt something was not good in his heart.
Mao Lilan didn't notice Shiraishi's change at all. She pushed her knees, exerted a little force, hugged the sack that had slipped a little tightly, and continued to say enthusiastically:
"There is a rumor recently - it is said to have spread from the security of the exhibition hall. It is extremely credible!"
Shiraishi nodded, indicating that he was listening.
Mao Lilan lowered her voice and continued: "Every time it gets dark, a piece of armor in the museum that has been corroded by evil forces will wake up and patrol back and forth in the exhibition hall.
"If you encounter it unfortunately, it will be hunted mercilessly. It will only give up if you find a way to avoid its route and escape from the exhibition hall. If you are caught...ah!!"
As she talked, she screamed in fright.
Shiraishi was not frightened by the story, but he was so frightened by her that he almost dropped the chili pepper in his hand.
After Mao Lilan screamed, she looked at the calm streets around her, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally concluded: "It's a pity that it's not early today, but I have a good rest tomorrow, I must go and have a look!"
Baishi looked at the sky. He vaguely remembered that Mao Lilan seemed to be afraid of ghosts. Why would he want to see such a thing?
But soon, he remembered a friend from before. He loved spicy food very much, but he was not physically able to tolerate spicy food. Every time they had a dinner party, he would sit next to the red pot of the Yuanyang Pot, crying and blowing his nose while eating.
Confusing.
There are also those girls who are obviously afraid of ghosts, but still often cover their faces and peek at various horror movies through their fingers... Is this the legendary pain and happiness?
In short, although it is not incomprehensible, from Shiraishi's point of view, he really does not want to save people when there is Conan and Moori Kogoro standing not far away.
Although these two people would definitely not kill people, and would even help save people, as soon as they attacked, Shiraishi felt that his work had been greatly hindered...
So he thought for a moment and pretended to be calm and said:
"I have heard another rumor - that exhibition hall has not updated its exhibits for a long time due to financial problems, so it has become very deserted and on the verge of bankruptcy. So in order to increase their turnover, they were forced to come up with the idea of using supernatural rumors to attract customers.
idea.”
"Hey, is that so?" Mao Lilan was extremely surprised.
Shiraishi nodded with a sad face and looked at her with sympathy for someone who had been deceived. He thought to himself, she would never go around with those two Shinigami again.
Less than two seconds later, Shiraishi heard Mao Lilan say with emotion:
"It's about to close down... That exhibition hall has been around since I was very young. I've always wanted to go, but I can't find the time. It's been so many years. No, if I don't go there, I won't be able to see it in the future.
arrive."
"?" Bai Shi looked at her, can the key point be grasped like this? Go back and rebuild it!
But if I continue to persuade him, the traces will be too heavy.
Shiraishi took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Mao Lilan immediately looked at him. She had misunderstood something and said considerately: "I can still carry it. You can pick a few heavy items and hang them on my arms."
"...Thank you, but no, I just want to breathe some fresh air, and I have no intention of taking it." Baishi said at a loss for words, "And it will be here soon."
After the candle experiment failed, the butterfly ninja reopened the rolling door and curtains.
It is said that it is always closed, and some polite customers will not enter the room even if they are attracted by the dishes on the shelves.
Thinking of this and looking at the cafe in front of him, Shiraishi suddenly became curious as to whether ordinary people could see his clerk.
He only knew that the soul would suddenly appear near the cafe, just like Ogino Tomoya before - and when the Butterfly Ninja was summoned, he seemed to suddenly appear at the door of the cafe.
I originally wanted to greet Butterfly Nin in a subtle way and walk around for a while, but I didn't expect that as soon as I reached the door, the store door was pushed open from the inside.
"I bought so much, it's really a waste of money." Butterfly Ninja looked at the big and small bags, his eyes narrowed with laughter, and his voice became much sweeter.
Shiraishi handed her the bag.
Mao Lilan was startled and said hello in a friendly manner: "Hello, I am Mao Lilan who lives upstairs. You are the clerk here."
Shiraishi's gaze shifted between the two of them. It seemed that ordinary people could indeed see butterfly ninjas.
This is quite convenient. If there are guests that she doesn’t want to see in the future, she can ask her to come forward and say that she is not at home...
Mao Lilan helped them move the things to the counter.
She saw a lot of vegetables and obviously misunderstood something:
"Is the store finally opening? Great! When I don't have time to cook, I can ask my dad and Conan to come down and eat - they are sometimes too lazy to go out, but if it's downstairs, they definitely won't find it troublesome.
"
"No, no, no, no need." Bai Shi waved his hands repeatedly.
Butterfly Ninja looked at him, then at the confused Mao Lilan, and explained with a smile: "We are still developing new dishes, and it will be some time before we leave Zhang."
"That's it..." Mao Lilan seemed to be looking forward to the new dishes, "If there's anything I can do to help, just tell me."
"Okay~" Butterfly smiled again, "Besides, there may be some movement in the past few days..."
Shiraishi interjected: "But it's just noise, we won't damage the house, don't worry."
As he spoke, he looked at Butterfly Ninja and spoke a little harder: "Right."
The Butterfly Ninja looked at his expression, hesitated for a moment, and nodded reluctantly, his interest slightly diminished.
Mao Lilan finished helping and left quickly.
Shiraishi sent her out, and when he went back to the store, he found that the Butterfly Ninja had accurately found several packets of herbal medicine among many items.
She brought the medicinal material to the tip of her nose and smelled it, then held it and looked at it for a while as if she was enjoying it.
Seeing that her mood was rising again, Shiraishi reminded her tactfully: "Take it easy. Although this store has been rented for one year, which is equivalent to a long, long time... but it is still rented after all."
"Don't worry, boss. Butterfly Ninja twisted a strange-shaped withered yellow grass leaf, raised her eyes and smiled at him, "I will arm you to the teeth."
"Hmm... That's not necessary." Shiraishi thought about his white teeth, and then thought about the pile of chili peppers, kelp and Houttuynia cordata, and felt starry.
But he suddenly realized something more profoundly: "You seem to be very good at medicine?"
"So-so." Butterfly Ninja waved his hand casually, seeming to be modest.
Shiraishi then touched his chin and thought for a while, took something out of his backpack and put it in front of her eyes: "Can you understand this?"
This stack of paper is, of course, the information copied from Miyano Akemi's floppy disk. Because it cost Shiraishi 100,000 yen, this matter made him deeply impressed.
