Chapter 34
Kurokawa Akiho brushed past the bear balloon hanging on the railing, and then went directly into the horror house through the staff entrance.
Ever since Matsuda Jinpei said someone had escaped, the damage rate of items in the horror house skyrocketed, and a series of system pop-up boxes filled his vision.
Based on the idea that it is better to rely on oneself than on mods, Kurokawa Akiho decided that some things still need to be done by himself.
For example, teach a lesson to the murderer in the horror house who doesn't know how hard it is to make money.
The employee entrance led directly to the depths of the horror house. He pulled up a floor plan of the horror house from the system and compared it with his current location. Combined with the damaged items, he could easily identify the murderer's escape route and cut it off.
As Yaki Aika looked at the message sent by Tamura Kazuma, her expression darkened. She looked at the unsuspecting children beside her and extended her hand to Yoshida Ayumi.
Haibara Ai noticed Yaki Aika's movements from the corner of her eye. A calm gleam in her eyes as she spoke, "What are you going to do, Miss Yaki?"
When Wu Qimingxiang heard the question suddenly, she paused with her outstretched hand.
Ayumi Yoshida looked at Yaki Akika in confusion.
Ya Qi Ming Xiang was stared at by several pairs of eyes. She laughed dryly and said, "Nothing. I saw a bug on Ayumi and wanted to help her remove it."
"Eh? Where are the bugs?" Yoshida Ayumi turned around in panic, trying to shake off the bugs.
Genta Kojima and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also stepped forward to help Ayumi Yoshida look for bugs, but after searching around, they didn't see any trace of bugs.
Kojima Genta complained, "What? There's clearly no bugs."
"Maybe I saw it wrong." Wu Qimingxiang smiled apologetically.
The detective badge made a beeping sound, and Haibara Ai subconsciously wanted to turn off the sound, but before she could stop it, Edogawa Conan's voice came out.
"Haibara, are you all right? Stay away from Miss Yaki. She's the one who killed Mr. Koita!"
The horror house was filled with silence. The weak voice in the detective badge was not only heard by Haibara Ai, but also by Yaki Akika who was standing next to her.
Wu Qimingxiang's hair covered her eyes. She curled her lips and smiled a few times, "You are indeed not a bunch of ordinary little brats. Now that we have been discovered, there is nothing we can do."
"I didn't want to be so drastic." She murmured to herself in a low voice.
Ai Huibara tightened her grip on the detective badge, turned around and yelled at the stunned people, "Run!"
When the Junior Detectives heard this, they were startled and ran away.
Yaqi Mingxiang: "You can't run away. I'm not the only one here. Tamura is here too."
"No one can escape, including your companions."
"There are two of them in total." Conan Edogawa wanted to take off the penguin mask that was in the way. When he was holding it with his little hands on both sides and was about to take it off, Jinpei Matsuda's big hands pressed down and pushed the penguin mask back on again.
"What are you doing?" Edogawa Conan was so anxious that his voice became babyish.
"Little guy, just be responsible for looking after the penguin uniform here." said Jinpei Matsuda.
Conan Edogawa was depressed about being treated like a child, but his current physical condition really couldn't help him.
He was a little curious about who this person was who seemed to be very familiar with Amuro Toru.
What does it mean to lie down for three years?
"The horror house is complicated and intricate. Genta and the others are indeed in danger. We need to find them as soon as possible." Amuro Toru rubbed his chin with his fingertips. "We should split up into two groups. Conan will be responsible for staying here and not moving."
Conan Edogawa's protest was ineffective and was forced to stay and guard the doll costume.
The eerie sound of water organ could be heard from time to time in the dark room. He was holding the penguin mask, and when he lowered his head, he met the small eyes of the mask and sighed helplessly.
He put the penguin mask on the chair, turned around and chased after him. He was not going to sit there and wait for death.
[What are you doing? ]
The system looked at Kurokawa Akiho who was looking around and couldn't help but ask.
Kurokawa Akishige found the camouflage used by the staff before the horror house renovation. Looking at the lifelike simulated human skin, a mischievous look flashed in his blue eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Do you think the murderer is afraid of ghosts?"
The system's hair stood on end as it watched Kurokawa Akiwa quickly disguise himself: "There are other tourists inside, they will definitely be scared by you!"
"That little brat Conan?" Kurokawa Akiwa became even more excited.
System: [Just pretend I didn’t say anything.]
The plot of the horror house didn't change much after the renovation, except that the real-life NPCs were replaced with holographic projections to save manpower.
In the original version, the NPC was a puppeteer, responsible for crafting all the dolls in the horror house. Early in life, the puppeteer's face was maliciously slashed. No one came to his aid, and he was despised and spurned, ultimately dying in the horror house, filled with hatred. Fueled by resentment and hatred, each puppet he created carried a terrible curse, sealing those who had wronged him within the doll's body.
Kurokawa Akiho tucked the simulant in place. A hideous, hideous scar snaked across its cheek. The corner of its mouth had been cut open by scissors, its flesh turned outward and covered in blood. In his hand, he held a pair of large, rusty scissors. Beneath its black hair, its azure eyes were deep and dark.
The lights flickered, and shadows fell on his cheeks, silently revealing a sense of weirdness and gloom.
The system froze.
Kurokawa Akiwa quickly got into the role, holding a huge pair of scissors without even replying to the system. With gloomy eyes, he followed the floor plan to look for the murderer.
Ayumi Yoshida, who had run away from her companions, covered her mouth tightly with her hands. She hid in the closet and heard the sound coming from the door.
Ya Qimingxiang slowly opened it, with a look of determined pleasure in her eyes: "There it is, Ayumi."
Ayumi Yoshida's body stiffened and she curled up in the closet in panic.
Ya Qimingxiang scanned the area with her flashlight and muttered to herself, "Aren't they hiding here? Where did all these little ghosts go?"
The woman's voice became increasingly distant, followed by the creaking sound of the door closing.
Ayumi Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to open the wardrobe door. When she raised her head, her eyes suddenly narrowed.
A pair of eyes appeared from the gap in the wardrobe.
Yaki Akika, who hadn't left at all, stared at Yoshida Ayumi through the gap in her eyes.
"I found you."
Yaki Akika grabbed the clothes on Yoshida Ayumi's chest and pulled her out of the closet, holding her neck tightly with both hands.
"I'm so sorry. I wanted you to get out alive, but there was a bad kid among you."
There was deep fear in Yoshida Ayumi's eyes, but the source was not from Yaki Akika.
Ya Qi Mingxiang frowned and looked behind herself following Ayumi's gaze.
After turning her head, she found that there was someone standing behind her, with a shadow cast on the person's face. When she saw clearly, she took a breath.
An ugly face full of scars, with the corner of the mouth torn to below the ear, bloody and mangled. He held a huge pair of scissors in his hand.
The trailer never mentioned that there would be real-life NPCs.
The puppeteer's bloody lips were curled gloomily, his facial muscles moving the ugly scars on his face, and his cold eyes were locked on the prey in front of him like a cold poisonous snake.
"I found you."
The same words and tone, only the person talking has changed.
The blood in Ya Qimingxiang's body seemed to freeze, and her face suddenly became panic-stricken.
She retreated holding Yoshida Ayumi, her heart beating wildly as if it was about to burst through her chest. In her eyes, she saw the image of the puppeteer raising a huge pair of sharp scissors.
The puppeteer's neck twisted strangely, his eyes fixed on Yaki Akika, and he laughed hoarsely, "There's another one?"
"Then all of them will become my puppets."
Yaki Akika was surrounded by fear, her expression was extremely nervous. She tightened her fingers so hard that Yoshida Ayumi screamed in pain.
The faint cry of pain seemed to wake up Yaki Akika. She looked at Ayumi Yoshida in her arms, her eyes lit up and she threw her towards the puppeteer.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he quickly ran out the door.
Kurokawa Akiho frowned, put away the scissors and caught Yoshida Ayumi. He turned sideways to look at Yaki Akika who was fleeing in panic, and clicked his tongue impatiently.
Really can run.
He was about to put Ayumi Yoshida down, but when he looked down, he met the frightened gaze of the child in his arms.
Kurokawa Akifusa: ...
I forgot I was still wearing the puppeteer's mask.
Ayumi Yoshida was trembling with fear, her eyes filled with tears. After meeting Kurokawa Akiwa's gaze, her body stiffened and tears flowed down her face.
She cried even harder.
[Oh, it’s over. ]
The system gloats.
Before he could figure out how to coax her, a strong gust of wind came from behind him. Kurokawa Akishige's nerves jumped, and he hugged Yoshida Ayumi and dodged the attack from behind.
He had just stood firm when the continuous attacks made him quickly retreat a few steps. The sharp fists came at him at tricky angles, and each blow was full of power.
Kurokawa Akishige's hair was scratched by a fist, and his eyes were fixed on the person who attacked him.
Blonde honey skin.
When Amuro's perspective line swept across the doll's face, his hands paused for a rare moment. He met the doll's azure cat eyes and hesitantly said, "Mr. Kurokawa?"
Kurokawa Akiho opened his eyes wide, his round cat eyes looking a little confused.
How did you recognize it?
Ayumi Yoshida was also stunned.
[Family members fight each other! I love watching it!]
【Flirting, huh?】
【Bu Mei is so miserable hahahaha. 】
[The young principal's face was truly terrifying, and Touzi was stunned.]
[He recognized him instantly! What is this? This is love!]
Kurokawa Akiho’s head is full of question marks. What the hell are the comments talking about?
Amuro Toru looked at the particularly conspicuous azure cat eyes and could easily tell from them that the young principal was wondering what was wrong with his disguise.
He couldn't help but recall Zhu Fujingguang's evaluation of the director.
Although he seems to be hiding many secrets, he is surprisingly easy to understand at certain times, and his personality is like a cat.
That's exactly the case.
"Is my disguise so bad?" Kurokawa Akiho questioned himself softly.
Amuro Toru smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Kurokawa disguised himself very well."
It's just that the eyes are too obvious.
Kurokawa Akifumi doubted himself even more, his eyes drooping in frustration, and he said in a melancholy voice, "How could Mr. Amuro see through it so easily?"
Looking at the frustrated boy in front of him, Amuro Toru tried to comfort him: "It's just because I know more about this as a private investigator. It's not that there is anything wrong with Mr. Kurokawa's disguise."
"In other words, my disguise can be seen through at a glance by professionals?" Kurokawa Akiwa clenched his fists with tears in his eyes.
Toru Amuro was slightly stunned. Oh no, it seemed like the more he explained, the worse the situation became.
"Eh? Why is Ayumi still in my arms?" Kurokawa Akiho, with tears in his eyes and clenched fists, felt something was wrong. He lowered his head and met Ayumi Yoshida's eyes.
Yoshida Ayumi had already wiped away her tears and looked at him with sparkling eyes: "Headmaster brother is so awesome!"
At the other end of the corridor, Conan Edogawa looked at the puppeteer with a ferocious face holding Yoshida Ayumi, as if he was threatening Amuro Toru.
He decisively pressed the button on his belt, and when the football popped out, his shoes emitted dazzling lightning and white light. He aimed the charged football at the terrifying puppeteer, while shouting at Amuro Toru.
"Mr. Amuro, get out of the way—!"
Amuro Toru turned his head sideways, and after noticing what Edogawa Conan was about to do, his purple-gray eyes narrowed, "Wait, Conan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the football flew towards Kurokawa Akishige's face like a small cannonball.
