"So you see, I told you that guy is the god of death."
After returning home, Fang Zheng told Xiao Ai what had happened in the mansion before, and then added his own comments.
As for Xiao Ai...
"Hearing you say that, it sounds like superstition."
As a scientist, Xiao Ai is also a staunch materialist.
"Whether it's superstition or coincidence, who knows. There are so many things in the world that humans cannot understand."
Fang Zheng shrugged.
"In short, you have to be careful when you go out with Conan in the future. If he goes somewhere, it's not a question of whether people will die, but where they die, how they die, and how many people die."
"In that case, why don't we do an experiment?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ai also became interested. Of course, if someone else said this to her, Xiao Ai would just treat it as a joke. But she knew Fang Zheng's true identity. Since even Fang Zheng said so, Xiao Ai naturally wanted to see if what he said was true.
"What are you going to do?"
"The Junior Detective Team is going on a spring outing tomorrow. How about you come along, Mr. Fang Zheng?"
"hehe……"
Hearing Xiao Ai's invitation, Fang Zheng chuckled and turned to look out the window. Outside the window, he saw green leaves and bright sunshine, a scene full of vitality. However, just the day before yesterday, he was in the mansion and it was snowing heavily...
So it's spring when we open our eyes? How about New Year's Day? How about Christmas?
This shows that another event is about to be triggered.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng smiled meaningfully at Xiao Ai.
"no problem."
The next morning, Fang Zheng drove Xiao Ai and followed Professor Agasa to the mountains for a spring outing... These kids were really carefree, and Fang Zheng really wanted to know how they felt about this weird weather reversal. But if Fang Zheng's guess was correct, they probably didn't notice anything at all.
After all, according to the rules set by this world, they are just NPCs, at best relatively important NPCs related to the main storyline.
"Camping, camping!"
Arriving at the camping site, the young detectives immediately began to cheer with great joy, and seeing this, Fang Zheng simply shrugged his shoulders. At this time, Dr. Agasa also walked towards Fang Zheng with a somewhat wry smile.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang Zheng, please come with me."
"It's okay. If Ai wants to come, it's fine for me to come along. Besides, I have nothing to do anyway, so it's nice to enjoy the great outdoors."
Just when Fang Zheng was chatting with Dr. Agasa, Conan came over and spoke with a smile.
"And there are absolutely no outsiders here. It's very quiet, don't you think? Dr. Agasa?"
"Ah, um, yes, hahahaha..."
“Hehehe…”
Fang Zheng stared at Conan silently. This kid's words were obviously meant to be revenged for his previous death. After all, he made it very clear that there were only a few of them in this place, and there was not even a ghost nearby. So Fang Zheng's statement that every time he saw him outside, someone would die was obviously not true!
After all, it couldn't be that one of them was going to die.
It seems that you still lack awareness of your own death physique.
Looking at Conan who was still talking nonsense here without any self-awareness, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and remained silent.
Let time prove everything.
"Then, please trouble Mr. Fang Zheng to set up the tent. Xiao Ai and I will build a stove here, and the others can go and collect some firewood nearby."
"good--!"
After hearing Dr. Agasa's instructions, the little guys from the Junior Detective Team responded loudly, and then ran into the woods with smiles on their faces. Fang Zheng also began to pack up his things and set up the tent.
For Fang Zheng, setting up a tent was not a difficult task. It took him less than half an hour to set up two tents. Meanwhile, Dr. Agasa had already started the stove, but...
"It's strange. Where did those children go to collect firewood?"
Looking around, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but mutter to himself, but Ai obviously didn't care.
"Probably going on an adventure in the forest. It's not surprising to have a curious detective leading the team."
"I'll go check out the situation. Maybe these kids have gone off to cause trouble again."
Fang Zheng raised his head and said something to the two of them, and Dr. Agasa nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"It's okay, I'll bring them back when I find them."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, then turned around and walked deeper into the woods.
It was not difficult for Fang Zheng to find the whereabouts of these little ghosts. Soon, Fang Zheng followed their messy footprints deep in the woods and found a cave.
"These little devils are really courting their own death."
Looking at the cave with a sign saying "Danger, No Entry", Fang Zheng frowned and snorted. Running around in a cave? Although it is impossible for dangerous underground creatures like goblins or dark elves to appear in the caves of this world, the underground caves themselves are very complicated. Many people get lost after entering and cannot get out. If Conan hadn't been there, the final fate of these three little ghosts would probably be to get lost in the cave and become corpses.
Forget it, let’s find them first.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also walked into the cave and went down.
As an adult, Fang Zheng was obviously much faster than those naughty kids. It didn't take him long to reach the cave passage and see the three little kids standing there.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Woooooa ...
Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, the three of them were startled and turned around to look. Only then did they realize that Fang Zheng was standing behind them, staring at them seriously.
"It's very dangerous here. What are you doing here? Hmm..."
Fang Zheng shone the flashlight and then raised his eyebrows.
"Where's Yuanta?"
"Ah, Yuan Tai he..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Mitsuhiko hurriedly wanted to answer, and then he saw Yuantai in the distance suddenly stumbling towards them. He was pale and sweating, and then he fell in front of Conan and others.
"Hey, Yuanta, what's wrong?!"
Seeing Genta's panic-stricken look, Conan also became nervous and asked in a low voice, while Genta answered tremblingly.
"Yes, there is a body!"
"… a corpse?"
Hearing this answer, Conan was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but look at Fang Zheng.
It can’t be such a coincidence. He just said that there is not even a ghost around here, and there is no way there could be a murder... God, are you kidding me?
As for Fang Zheng, he was watching him calmly. What's the big deal? It was normal operation. Is it news when a primary school student who is the god of death dies outside? Only the undead are news.
“Da da da…”
Just as the two were staring at each other in silence, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from the front, and Fang Zheng's face darkened, and then he came in front of the naughty kids.
"Get behind me."
"Um……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, several little ghosts hurriedly hid under Conan's leadership. At the same time, a man in a green suit also saw them, and hurriedly took out a pistol from his arms and aimed at Fang Zheng and others.
“Damn it!”
"It's a pistol!"
At this moment, Conan also saw the gun and his face changed drastically. However, before he could say anything else, Fang Zheng instantly raised his flashlight and shone it directly into the man's eyes. Under the glaring light, the man in the green suit instinctively raised his hand to block the light in front of him.
At the same time, Fang Zheng suddenly rushed forward, and came directly in front of the man in the green suit like a whirlwind in the dark night, and punched him directly in the abdomen. The next moment, the man in the green suit wailed and bent down like a shrimp. Then Fang Zheng raised his right hand and chopped at the neck of the man in the green suit with a knife. The next moment, the man in the green suit fell to the ground without a sound and fell unconscious.
"Hey, what happened?"
At this moment, the people in the cave seemed to have heard the noise coming from outside, and they hurried out to check. Fang Zheng hid aside, and the moment the people inside came out, he jumped out of the darkness, grabbed the right hand of the leading man holding the gun, and threw him out with an over-the-shoulder throw, directly onto the cave wall next to him.
“Go to hell!”
At this moment, the man walking at the back also hurriedly tried to pull the trigger at Fang Zheng, but almost at the same time, Fang Zheng reached out, grabbed the man's wrist and pushed him to the side.
"Bang!!!"
Gunshots rang out.
The bullet almost brushed past Fang Zheng's sleeve, and Fang Zheng took advantage of the situation and hit the other man's chest with his elbow. Soon, the last man rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, losing consciousness.
“So amazing…”
Seeing Fang Zheng subduing three armed gangsters in the blink of an eye, the little ghosts hiding in the back opened their eyes wide in surprise. Even Conan seemed quite surprised. You know, Fang Zheng has hardly shown any combat skills so far, but just these few moves have shown that Fang Zheng is obviously very good at fighting.
I don’t know who is more powerful between him and Kyogoku Makoto.
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but recall the senior named Kyogoku Makoto whom he met when he and Xiaolan went to the beach. According to Xiaolan, he was much better than himself...
The next step was very simple. Fang Zheng found a body that had been shot in the cave. It was obvious that these people had killed someone and dumped the body here, but they were bumped into by the naughty kids of the Junior Detective Team. These three criminals were obviously not good people, but Fang Zheng didn't need to care about who they were. He just needed to call the police and let them handle it.
But... he still needs to teach some of those naughty kids a lesson.
After receiving Fang Zheng's call, Officer Megure quickly arrived with his subordinates, and then took the body and three unconscious suspects back to the police station. After completing a series of necessary contacts with Officer Megure, Fang Zheng took the other four kids back to the camp.
Then, Fang Zheng announced the "bad news" in front of them.
"There's no food for the four of you tonight!"
"Huh?! Why?!"
When he heard that there was no food, Yuan Tai was the first to shout out, and Fang Zheng glared at him coldly.
"Why? Don't you know it clearly?"
“Woo…”
"Dr. Agasa asked you to collect firewood, but where did you go? Huh?"
"I, we're just going to explore a little bit..."
"Exploration?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng looked at Ayumi coldly, scaring the latter so much that she almost shrank back.
"Whether you explore or not is not the problem. The problem is that you acted on your own. Listen carefully, your parents entrusted you to us because they trusted Dr. Agasa and me. But you guys just did whatever you wanted to do and went wherever you wanted. Why didn't you tell us in advance? And do you know how dangerous the cave is?!"
“But, but…”
Faced with Fang Zheng's full aura, the little kids were scared to the point of crying. Seeing Ayumi being scolded, Mitsuhiko hurriedly spoke up to defend her.
"But didn't we also find those fugitives?"
"Don't waste your time talking about the consequences. If I hadn't come, what would have happened to you? You saw that the three prisoners were holding guns. You might have been shot by them and died in the dark cave, just like the man whose body they dumped. Even if you wail and scream, no one will come to save you. You can only wait to die in the dark, and then your body will slowly rot and become food for other animals, and eventually turn into a pile of bones..."
“Woo…”
Hearing this, Mitsuhiko’s face turned pale.
"Besides, even if there are no fugitives, do you think the cave is not dangerous? Many people who enter the cave will never find a way out. They will be trapped in the dark underground with no water, no food, and no light. They will die there and no one will ever know. No one will even be able to find their bodies! But you guys just ran in! And you, Conan!"
Finally, Fang Zheng also turned to Conan.
"You have always been the calmest one among these people. Why didn't you hold them back? Do you think you are safe and not afraid of any accidents?"
"this……"
"Fortunately, only one person died today, so it's not a big deal... But as punishment, the four of you will have no food tonight, and you will have to stand here and watch us eat! Do you hear me?!"
"yes……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's scolding, the four little ghosts nodded listlessly in response, while Conan nodded, then suddenly reacted.
Wait, what do you mean just one person’s death is not a big deal?
It's as if I killed that person?
What does this have to do with me!
But then again, why do we encounter dead people when we go camping?
Thinking of this, Conan himself became autistic.
