The heavy, old door creaked and closed heavily behind him.
Sakaki Makoto was the last one to enter the castle.
At this time, everyone, led by Kosaka Natsumi, was standing in the hall, looking up at the dome mural that was out of reach.
The colorful paintings depict the dance with thick ink and heavy colors. The naked Virgin Mary is stepping on auspicious clouds. She is not welcoming the monkey who comes to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures, but accepting the kneeling worship of believers.
"Oh..."
With a sneer on his lips, Sakaki Makoto looked up at the scene with disdain, like a prisoner in hell, giving the high and mighty gods the middle finger of spitting.
Others might be in awe, but not him.
If there really is a God in the world, then He must be selfish. He will not sympathize with the sorrow and thirst of believers, nor will He have mercy on the despair of the world. Sitting on the throne, with His folds shining brightly, wherever He looks, there is light.
Can...
Isn’t it also the cause of the darkness hidden in the light?
If there is no God, where does the devil come from?
"Everyone please follow me..."
The old butler with sparse gray hair led the way in front, set up the stairs, and led everyone up.
The closer you get to the dome, the more shocking the murals become.
However...
Unfortunately, most people in this castle do not believe in God.
There was no one in sight in the empty corridor, and the dim chandelier emitted a pitiful light, barely illuminating the way ahead.
"Because I had to pack up my belongings, I didn't take any advertisements and all the servants were dismissed."
As they moved forward, the old butler said:
"After the old lady passes away, we plan to hand over this castle to the foundation, and all profits will be donated..."
Everyone was a little surprised.
You know, an ancient castle like this one built in Yokosuka is so valuable that it cannot be bought with money.
With a little bit of embellishment, it can be turned into Yokosuka's top tourist attraction, attracting tourists from all over the world.
When the time comes...
Just by collecting the ticket money, Natsumi Kosaka can live a life without worries.
But she actually handed the castle over to others to manage, and donated all the money she earned...
The ancients said:
What is theirs is my dregs.
Natsumi Kosaka's noble sentiments have won the admiration of everyone.
"This is the place where the old lady loved to stay when she was alive. It's called the Ladies' Room..."
The old butler pushed open a door, and the bright sunlight shone on the precious carpet, and dust floating in the air was vaguely visible.
"The old lady often stays here all day. She says this is where she feels most comfortable..."
There are a variety of medieval oil paintings hanging on the walls. Although not all of them are from masters, they are all quite old.
Sakaki Makoto walked to the window and looked down...
Suddenly he said "eh".
"Mr. Sakaki, is there anything strange?"
Shiratori Jinzaburo (Kid) noticed his abnormality and went up to ask.
With a frown on his face, Sakaki Makoto pointed to the empty main entrance courtyard below and said:
"Conan...why is he gone?"
"Conan, stop running around!"
In the courtyard behind the castle, Mao Lilan chased the small figure in front of her, but the other party ran too fast and she could not catch up at all.
Really...
She said angrily:
He had only spoken a few words to Miss Haibara when Conan disappeared as soon as he turned around.
If he hadn't been discovered early, he would have disappeared again...
Such an eccentric behavior that disregards other people's feelings is exactly the same as Kudo Shinichi!
Mao Lilan confirmed her guess to some extent.
Miss Miyano was not as anxious as she was. She walked behind and strolled leisurely.
she...
Observing Conan, the walking experiment.
Are there any side effects after taking APTX4869 to lose weight?
Is your physical strength still the same as before?
Has there been any change in IQ?
All kinds of doubts can only be solved through practice.
Observations so far...
Kudo Shinichi was alive and well, with no abnormalities.
Although my brain may not seem very smart sometimes, but...
It should have nothing to do with APTX4869...
There is no ingredient in the medicine that can damage brain cells...
Finally, Ran Mao Li intercepted Conan under a watchtower.
She panted, her chest heaving up and down, her hands on her hips, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Conan!"
"How can you run around in someone else's house?"
Conan laughed dryly, quietly took her arm and said:
"Ranai-chan, please don't be angry..."
"I just wanted to go to the bathroom, but I couldn't hold it any longer, so I ran around..."
He tells lies right out of his mouth.
Miss Miyano stared at him coldly, neither intervening nor speaking.
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto told you to stop running around!"
Mao Lilan was still a little angry:
"You should also let me know before going to the bathroom!"
“I know, I know…”
Conan answered perfunctorily while pushing open the door of the watchtower.
As soon as the door opened, a strong choking dust blew in my face...
"Ahem...Pah!"
After fanning himself twice, Conan looked curiously at the watchtower that was independent of the castle.
On the way to find the 'toilet' just now, he observed all the back doors of the castle, but found no entrance.
Thinking about it...
The only place left to explore is this watchtower.
If that doesn't work here...
