Chapter 1240 1248 [It is reasonable for a haunted house to have ghosts]

A dense group of bats rushed towards Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko, but before they could really hit them, they quickly returned to the shadow of the roof.

And among the bats, there was also a huge shadow mixed in, like a demon descended to the earth, flashing by with a terrifying momentum.

"Ah!" Nakamori Aoko was first frightened by the winged figure.

But soon, she came back to her senses and teased in Kidd's tone: "The previous gust of 'cold wind' was a blower, and the bats were controlled by wires. It's no big deal - you must be trying to say that, right?"

After a pause, she was a little confused again: "But what's up with the man with wings? I always feel that the route he flies is different from the path of the wire... Is he playing a vampire? But the shape of the wings seems different. A vampire's wings should be thinner, but this one looks more like a bird's wings. Is it a crow?"

The light was too dim, so Nakamori Aoko couldn't see clearly. But the fleeting shadow still made her vaguely feel that something was wrong with the painting.

She looked at Kidd, waiting for this atmosphere destroyer to say something and answer her questions.

Who knew that when he turned around, he saw Kuroba Kaito staring at the place where the "bats" had just disappeared, without saying a word, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Nakamori Aoko was stunned for a moment, and was affected by his attitude. She began to waver and couldn't help but feel a little cold around her: "What, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Kuroba Kaito: "..." Yes! It's so wrong, everything is wrong!

That shadow, and that familiar pair of wings... Mist Tengu?! It's Mist Tengu, right? It looks like him no matter how you look at it!

——Kaito Kuroba's eyesight is better than Aoko Nakamori's. And he often works in dark environments, and he often encounters Mist Tengu in darker places than this... or rather, he is ambushed by Mist Tengu.

In short, even though it only took a split second, he still recognized the real monster mixed in with the artificial bats at a glance.

"Hey, Kaito." Nakamori Aoko saw the subtle changes in Kuroba Kaito's expression and became more and more panicked. "You can't see the principle? Could there really be a mechanism in the haunted house..." No, no, no, maybe Kaito's skills are not good enough and he couldn't see through this mechanism. That's right, how could there really be ghosts in the world?

Kidd was barely able to recover from the shock of seeing Mist Tengu after hearing her shout.

He met Nakamori Aoko's puzzled and nervous gaze, laughed dryly a few times, and explained his previous abnormality: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect this haunted house to be so creative. It actually used techniques that even I can't tell. Ha, haha..."

As he spoke, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but ruffle his hair hard.

I just feel that everything is gradually becoming difficult to understand.

Kidd: "..." Could it be that Mist Tengu... is working part-time in the haunted house? ?

How did he get through the interview? It's too dangerous.

What if one day a colleague from the haunted house thinks the wings of Mist Tengu are cool and wants to try carrying them on his back? If he pulls them, wouldn’t he be exposed? In a haunted house, if you hang a body that has been silenced on the beam, it will probably go unnoticed for a long time...

…

After all, humans are creatures that are easily influenced by the environment.

Kuroba Kaito mechanically moved his legs and continued to walk forward with Nakamori Aoko, while he couldn't help but imagine many terrible scenes in his mind.

He even began to pay attention to high places unconsciously - the legend that Kiri Tengu "liked to hang people high up, dry them and eat them", as well as the two monks in Kiri Tengu's hometown who were actually hung up there, really left a deep impression on him.

…

Nakamori Aoko walked forward for a while and gradually calmed down from the shock she had just experienced.

Immediately, I felt that something was strange.

She turned around and glanced at Kuroba Kaito in confusion:

Why did this guy become so quiet all of a sudden?

Could it be that he couldn't figure out the principle of the wings just now and was concentrating on thinking about it?

...Or maybe because he couldn't figure out the trick, he suspected there really was a ghost here and got scared?

As she thought about it, Nakamori Aoko secretly laughed in her heart: No matter what, I can finally enjoy the haunted house with peace of mind!

…

With different feelings, the two of them passed through various mechanisms and left the gloomy church.

Without Kuroba Kaito around to expose the modus operandi, Nakamori Aoko felt that the experience was great and wanted to give a few thumbs up to the employee who was flying around just now.

Soon they arrived at the back door of the church. As soon as they pushed the door open, the scene from before reappeared, with cold wind and furry artificial bats blowing in their faces, and the huge shadow that had blended in also reappeared.

"ah!!"

Aoko Nakamori was like a person riding a roller coaster. She knew what would happen, but when she encountered the thrilling scenes, she couldn't help but instinctively close her eyes and scream.

The cold wind and the fluttering sounds of little bats brushed past her ears and quickly disappeared.

Feeling that everything was over, Nakamori Aoko carefully opened her eyes a crack. She saw the empty corridor in front of her, patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The bat disappeared, and the surroundings became unnervingly quiet. Nakamori Aoko turned around and was about to tease Kuroba Kaito: Is it possible that after the scene was replayed, he still couldn't crack the trick of the wing employee, so he is now shutting himself in?

However, when she turned around, she suddenly froze.

——Behind him was an empty and gloomy church, and as far as the eye could see, there was no sign of Kuroba Kaito.

Nakamori Aoko: “…” Where are the people? ! !

As soon as her companion was thrown away, she raised her head stiffly and looked at the naked haunted house that had been exposed again. She felt a gloomy breath rising from the soles of her feet, and cold sweat quickly covered her back.

Is this place...really haunted?!

As if she was afraid of disturbing something, Nakamori Aoko asked softly, "Is there anyone?"

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of feathers flapping beside me.

Nakamori Aoko's ears twitched slightly, and she turned her head suddenly, and was suddenly met with a pair of dark golden eyes that were glowing in the darkness.

“Aaaaaaaah——!!”

She let out a terrified scream, jumped up, closed her eyes and rushed out, not knowing where she was running.

When she came to her senses, Nakamori Aoko opened her eyes and found that she had actually run out of that corridor and arrived at the next room.

This looks like an old morgue.

The moment Nakamori Aoko looked into the room, the linen cloth next to her slowly bulged, and a "corpse" slowly sat up, twisted its body stiffly, and looked at her.

…

The "corpse" is actually a little nervous now.

He is an employee of this haunted house and has been working there for five years. He always manages to scare the tourists who come in to the house into pissing their pants and making them lose their armor.

However, today, listening to the feedback from his colleagues in his headphones, he felt that his professional level had been severely challenged.
