Chapter 298 Xiao Ai’s ghost story [2k updates]

The mysterious old woman in front of her looks to be over sixty years old. She is wearing a blue kimono, has age spots on her forehead, and her face is as gloomy as everyone else in this village.

Judging from the fact that Ruoye calls her Aunt Xue, she should be an old employee here.

"Can't you move around freely?"

Ooka Momiji was a little confused, "Is there any inaccessible room in this mansion?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Aunt Xue didn't give Hongye a good look, and said solemnly: "In this mansion, curiosity will only bring misfortune."

"We understand that you can't just walk around."

Fujino took over the conversation and asked, "Is there anything else that needs attention?"

"This...it doesn't exist anymore."

Aunt Xue was obviously stunned for a moment.

The host was caught off guard by Fujino's counterattack.

After recovering, she turned around and said to herself: "Since the rooms have been allocated, please check in as soon as possible. The lady's pre-wedding dinner will be held at nine o'clock in the evening, and you will be invited to attend... "

Having said this, she did not forget to turn her head and warned again and again: "You are the first guests to listen to my words. Don't forget, don't walk around in this mansion, otherwise it will cause accidents."

"We get it, Aunt Xue."

Watching Aunt Xue disappear around the corner, Fujino's eyes narrowed slightly.

He always felt that the villa where he couldn't move around at will was a bit like the Blue Castle.

Could there be some body hidden here?

This mansion is getting more and more interesting.

As for the reason why they can't move around freely, it is probably because they are afraid that they will bump into the corpse...

The rules of Ke Xue's world are just like weird rules.

If you ask too many questions, you may become the next victim.

Our little rich woman has obviously never been exposed to similar cases.

As a lady from a wealthy family, she had heard that some families had private rooms that no outsiders could enter.

Although her family didn't have similar rules, it was still a common practice.

Just saying it in this almost threatening tone...

It feels a bit different.

Thinking of this, Hongye turned around and asked Fujino curiously: "Fujino-kun, do you understand what she meant by encountering an accident?"

"It should be because of Mr. Shin." Fujino thought.

"Because... Mr. Odagiri?" Hongye looked at Odagiri doubtfully.

"...?"

Odagiri Susumu was a little confused.

What does this have to do with me?

"I think the reason why Aunt Xue said such things is because she is afraid of Mr. Odagiri and secretly meeting Ruoye..."

Fujino sighed and explained: "The cold attitude of the people in the village should be the same. After all, many people should already know about his affair with Ruoye."

"So that's it..."

Hongye thinks Fujino's words are quite reasonable.

Although she is Ruoye's classmate, judging from the behavior of the head of the Tokita family just now, it should be Ruoye's idea to invite them over this time.

In this case, their purpose of bringing Odagiri in was a bit vague.

However, looking in the direction where Aunt Xue disappeared, Hongye couldn't help but murmured: "What a strange person..."

"It should be said that the people in this village are very strange."

Huihara Ai suddenly said something, attracting Hongye's eyes: "Strange?"

"Don't you think it's strange that there is such a huge mansion in such a remote village?"

Haiyuan Ai crossed his arms and looked around: "If I remember correctly, this old mansion built in the village should be the so-called alien mansion."

"Israel Pavilion?"

Hongye murmured, "It was probably the residence of foreigners who came to Neon during the Meiji period, but what's so strange about this?"

"Actually, this remote alien pavilion has another name in legend."

"Another alias?"

"I heard that a long time ago, these alien pavilions were built by Western missionaries who came here, and these alien pavilions were also called devil's pavilions."

Hui Yuan Ai narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "Those missionaries perform evil demonic rituals here, which will suck out the souls of the villagers living there and turn them into unconscious walking zombies... Maybe, inside this mansion, There are only one or two sacrificed corpses hidden..."

"Sacrificial corpse?!"

Ooka Hongye's face turned pale: "In other words, if you encounter an accident, does it mean that if you accidentally find a corpse, you will be killed and silenced?!"

"That's probably what it means on the surface."

Haibara Ai nodded meaningfully, looking at Ooka Hongye's frightened look, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"No wonder Ruoye seems to have changed into a different person. If that's the case, wouldn't her soul have also been sacrificed?!"

Ooka Hongye swallowed and felt a chill down his spine.

Fujino: "..."

I didn't expect that the little rich woman would be afraid of ghost stories...

But it’s no wonder Hongye is scared.

After all, Haihara Ai's ghost story is too real.

It even made him doubt whether this village was really carrying out some ulterior sacrificial ritual.

…………

It was getting dark, and the lights in the guest room were on.

Fujino put away his luggage, and after some simple repairs, he sat on the sofa and began to think about all the strange things he encountered after arriving in this village.

Ever since he entered the village, he had always felt that something was wrong.

A mansion where you can't walk around at will, a village full of weird atmosphere, and a famous detective invited to the wedding.

No matter how you look at it, all the elements of murder are alive...

If it were Conan, he would have gone out to explore tonight, discovered some ulterior secret, and staged a thrilling escape from a small village, complete with a football shoe kicking a Western missionary.

But Fujino is not a Shinigami elementary school student.

If someone came here alone today, he might still dig into this matter.

But unfortunately this system task cannot be triggered...

The main purpose of his coming here this time was to protect Hongye's personal safety.

After all, she was a rich little woman who paid two million yen. It would be better not to involve her in such a dangerous matter.

…………

The guest rooms in the mansion are quite luxurious.

There is a dressing room, bedroom, and living room in the room. It can be said to be a separate building.

Maybe the only thing that people don't understand is that there is no bathroom.

Actually, that's true when you think about it.

This villa looks very old. In those days, having a separate toilet in the room would probably kill people...

Hui Yuan Ai put on a pair of light pajamas and walked out of the changing room.

In a blink of an eye, she noticed Fujino who was sitting on the sofa, thinking about something.

Haibara Ai:"……"

Are you thinking about the ghost story she just told?

That ghost story was purely made up to tease that woman.

Although it contains some realistic elements, it is also made up...

She felt that with Fujino's reasoning ability, he shouldn't believe it.

Maybe……

Haihara Ai adjusted her thin pajamas and buttoned the unbuttoned buttons at the neck: "Are you thinking about what happened just now?"

"Um."

Fujino retracted his thoughts and said, "I feel like this village is a little weird."

‘Do you really believe it? ’

Hui Yuan Ai was surprised, "That's just a ghost story I made up temporarily..."

"What I mean by strange is not the weirdness, but the atmosphere..."

Fujino said seriously: "This village is definitely not as simple as it appears. Maybe there are some ulterior secrets hidden behind it."

"A hidden secret?"

Hui Yuan Ai thought for a while: "Do you want to investigate?"

"forget it."

Fujino shook his head: "After all, you and Miss Hongye are by our side. If we encounter any danger, we will be in trouble."

"Um……"

Hui Yuan Ai nodded and felt his heart warm.

Although it made her feel a little sad to be associated with Miss Momiji, Fujino's style was indeed like this.

Whatever he does, he will consider the people around him first. He would rather be in jail than put others around him in danger.

Perhaps, this is the biggest difference between him and those idiot detectives.

"Boom!"

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Fujino just responded and raised his head, his eyes gradually became confused.

The person who opened the door was Ooka Momiji.

At this time, she was wearing a pink pajamas, with thin and soft fabric covering her whole body, which outlined her proud figure, especially her high-stretched chest...

Although it seems impossible from the material point of view, it still gives Fujino the feeling that the button may pop out in the next second.

"Ahem!"

At this time, Haiyuan Ai suddenly coughed lightly and kicked Fujino's calf with his little foot.

Fujino's thoughts were successfully brought back by this kick.

Ooka Momiji's face was a little flushed, and he hesitated and said: "Um, Fujino-kun, can you accompany me for a while?"

Fujino: "...?"

Haibara Ai:"……??!"

…………

The Clock Mansion is a relatively old mansion.

Since it was built a long time ago, there are not many electric lights in the mansion. Most of them are kerosene lamps, but they are not lit.

On the way back from the bathroom, Fujino walked in front holding a flashlight to illuminate the road in front of him, while Xiao Ai and Hongye followed behind.

Ooka Hongye's face turned red and he lowered his head without daring to raise it.

It's really embarrassing to have someone accompany you to the bathroom...

Haibara Ai looked at Ooka Hongye speechlessly. For a moment, she didn't know whether this was the plot of a bad woman, or whether this woman was really that weak.

Wasn't it just that someone threatened to kill him if he just walked around?

It’s not a big deal…

Fujino is more transparent.

From his point of view, someone might actually die tonight.

But he wasn't worried about it.

Although the buff stack is full, it stands to reason that as long as you don't run around or trigger any outrageous mechanisms, there is a high probability that you will be able to get through tonight safely.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

At this time, a strange sound suddenly came from behind him.

Fujino turned around and saw a pair of shining eyes suddenly emerging from the darkness.

Subconsciously, he grabbed Xiao Ai with one hand and Hong Ye with the other. He dodged to the side and leaned against the wall, avoiding the strange thing.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a black cat.

By the way, why does a black cat make such a sound?

Fujino was speechless for a while.

But before he could recover, the white wall suddenly flipped over, dragging him and the two of them into a dark room.

…………

It rolled around in the dark space for about a few seconds.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound.

Fujino felt as if his back hit a wall, forcing him to stop.

Before he could calm down, waves of stinging pain shot through his body.

This tingling sensation reminded him of the last car accident...

Fujino took a deep breath and suppressed the pain.

Then, I felt a strange pressure coming from my chest.

Fujino didn't think too much, endured the severe pain, and took out the divine light from his portable space.

The divine light rod illuminates the dark space.

The first thing you see is a secret room made of cement.

The entrance to the secret room is an entrance to a flipped mechanism wall.

The entrance to the wall is preceded by a long concrete staircase with sharp edges.

Judging from the visual height, it is probably close to seven or eight meters high.

The three people who accidentally lost their footing and fell from above tumbled straight down the stairs.

After checking the surrounding environment, Fujino lowered his head and saw Haibara Ai and Ooka Momiji lying in front of him.

The two of them closed their eyes, hugging Fujino tightly, and their breathing was still steady.

As for that soft and oppressive feeling...it was caused by Ooka Momiji.

Although the facts were right in front of him, Fujino couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth invisibly, and he couldn't help but flash in his mind:

"Is this really the kind of body a seventeen-year-old should have?"

"This little rich woman is a bit outrageous..."

"I'm afraid I lied about my age or something."

Ideas like the above.

Judging from the feeling, Fujino felt that the little rich woman in front of him should be on the level of Belmod.

But after thinking about it for a while, I felt that Belmode was not really outrageous...

This made him sigh in his heart: They are both seventeen years old, why is there such a big gap?

(Sera Masumi: You scold me again!)

After withdrawing his thoughts, Fujino felt a little uncomfortable.

No matter how he was a normal person, he couldn't bear this stimulation.

He pushed up his body with difficulty, gently pushed the two of them apart, and placed them aside.

At this time, Ooka Momiji and Haibara Ai's pajamas were a little messy, and they were vaguely stained with some blood. One or two buttons of Momiji's pajamas were even broken.

But the blood was not theirs, but Fujino's.

Fujino tied the two broken buttons and made a brief observation. As a doctor, he could confirm that except for some slight scratches on Hongye's feet, there were no other scars on the two of them.

Seeing that the two of them were unconscious due to the impact, Fujino couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then leaned limply on the 'wall' behind him.

This was all thanks to Fujino who reacted quickly and subconsciously hugged the two of them at the moment they fell, using his own body as a human shield to protect them.

But as a human shield, he was in a worse situation.

Holding the two of them in his arms, he tumbled down a cement staircase that was seven to eight meters high and had dozens of stairs. He alone withstood all the impact of the other two.

At this time, there were bruises and small wounds all over his body, and the stinging pain came from those wounds.

Some of the wounds were deep, and blood was still oozing out, staining the white shirt red.

Judging from the pain, it was impossible to tell how serious the injury was or whether there was internal injury.

"This time, the fall was worse than the last car accident..."

Fujino's breathing was rapid. He took out [Fat Boy's Happy Water] from his pocket and took a few sips. He took a look at his injuries, leaving a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.

But on second thought, he was already satisfied.

Holding two people, nearly a hundred kilograms of weight rolled all the way down from such a high place. If it were the previous physique, the person would have been cold...

Although the extent of the injury could not be determined immediately, at least there was no fracture, which was a blessing among misfortunes.

Although he has excellent self-healing ability, if he does break a bone, his mobility will be limited for a period of time.

After about a few minutes, Fujino gradually adapted to the pain in his body.

At this time, Ooka Hongye slowly opened his eyes.

She covered her head and slowly stood up, feeling a little dazed.

After she recovered, she noticed Fujino's injuries at a glance.

Just as he was about to say something, his eyes were attracted by the 'wall' behind Fujino.

Suddenly, her face turned pale, and then she let out a harsh scream: "Ah——!"

Haiyuan Ai was also awakened by this scream.

She just stood up and looked at the 'wall' behind her. She couldn't help but frown and her face became a little ugly.

Fujino looked at the two people with pale faces and was stunned.

He supported his body full of scars and just stood up. He turned his head and looked at the 'wall' behind him, his face suddenly stiffened.

What kind of wall is there? It's clearly a sarcophagus without a lid!

Inside the sarcophagus, a figure lay quietly.

It was a headless, seemingly burnt mummy!

Fujino stared at the mummy in front of him, his face gradually darkened.

Sure enough, no matter what happens today, there is no way to escape...

This kind of mummy hidden in the basement is a bit outrageous.

Is it true, as Xiao Ai said, that this foreigner's pavilion is a devil's pavilion used by missionaries to sacrifice villagers?

Prophet, knife!

"A new detective special job mission has been detected, please check it carefully!"

Just as Fujino was thinking, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his ears.

Fujino was stunned when he heard the sound, and a light curtain appeared in front of him:

[Detective Special Professional Mission: Secrets Hidden in Hexagonal Village

Mission introduction: Weird mummies, strange villages, old mansions, what kind of truth is hidden behind everything?

Mission goal: Uncover the secrets hidden in Hexagonal Village

Mission reward: 4 million yen·600 detective reputation points

Mission limit: none]

The secret behind Hexagon Village?

Although it is Ke Xue, is it a bit too outrageous?

And the reward is actually four million yen...

This reward is so rich that Fujino wonders if the entire village is involved...

"who!"

At this time, the door of the wall machine was suddenly opened, and a figure looked directly at Fujino and the others with a flashlight.

Fujino turned his head and recognized the figure through the strong light through his vision-enhancing glasses.

It was none other than Tokita Ruoye’s father, Tokita Shisan.

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Tokida Shisan with a gloomy look.

Tokita Shisan's face was also a little gloomy. He looked at a few people and shouted casually: "What are you doing here?!"

Fujino: "..."

Look at the injuries on my body, what else can I do?

"We got lost when we came back from going to the toilet. We accidentally encountered a black cat. We were so frightened that it leaned against the wall, and then fell in here..."

Fujino's state of mind was unusually calm. He stared at Tokida Shisan, rolled up his cufflinks, and revealed his arms covered with scars and blood.

"So this is ah……"

Tokita Shisan's expression suddenly calmed down again.

He was so kind and even scary that he walked down slowly: "In that case, I'll take you back. I'm really sorry... I caused you to be so seriously injured."

"Then I'll trouble you..."

Fujino watched Tokita Shisan's movements and walked forward slowly with a smile on his face.

At the same time, one hand was hidden in his pocket, ready to use the enhanced card or take out a pistol at any time.

According to normal circumstances, at this time, the other party should take action...

Damn it, is he possessed by a Shinigami primary school student?

Why do you encounter this kind of thing every time you go to the toilet?

He was certain that Tokida Shisan was a little fishy.

He didn't dare to estimate the combat power of the murderer in the world of Ke Xue. With his physical combat power, he could definitely defeat the opponent with full activation of + golden enhancement cards.

But what I was afraid of was that the other party took out a pistol from his pocket...

No matter how skilled he is, he is still afraid of pistols. At long distances, his shirt is not very bulletproof. If he is shot, he will be disabled or even killed.

Then you can only use guns...

It doesn't matter even if he is exposed in front of Hong Ye and Xiao Ai.

As long as the two of them can survive...

Fortunately, until the end, Tokita Shisan had no intention of taking action.

Fujino deliberately followed Tokita Shisan and slowly returned to the guest room.

Ooka Momiji and Haibara Ai were naturally aware of the situation in front of them and did not dare to say anything. They just followed Fujino silently and looked at the injuries on Fujino's body with distress.

…………

"The injuries on your bodies don't matter, right?"

At the door of the guest room, Tokita Shisan's face was still kind, and he asked Fujino: "Do you need me to bring you a medical kit?"

"No need...I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Fujino responded briefly, and then dragged Haibara Ai and Ooka Momiji back to the room.

After returning to the room, Fujino locked the door directly. Hearing the footsteps outside the door gradually receding, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

Ooka Momiji looked at the scars on Fujino and immediately squatted down. He was about to reach out his hand, but suddenly stopped, and tears flowed down his eyes uncontrollably.

"do not Cry……"

Fujino sighed helplessly, "I'm not dead yet."

"How are you feeling?"

Hui Yuan Ai was much calmer and asked about the injury with a worried look on his face.

It's not that she is unreasonable, but as a science and engineering girl, she understands the current situation, and it is useless even if she is sad.
