Chapter 185: Running Naked at the Shrine
185.
Although you expected that there would be a lot of people visiting the shrine during the spring break, you didn't expect there would be so many!
As you walk along the main approach to the shrine, you are squeezed in the middle by people on both sides. After struggling for ten minutes, you look up and find that you are still standing in the same place.
Damn, if you want to pray for happiness and well-being, shouldn't you go to other more professional shrines? Isn't Guanyuan Daozhen the god of study? Why do people come to the god of study?
There are so many people, I feel so overwhelmed... You really want to squat down and curl yourself into a ball, but now you can't do it at all.
On such a crowded road, it is impossible to squat or even turn around.
Compared to the current situation, you would rather go back to the small dark room and write documents for three days under Gin's supervision!
…
"○-san, I'm so sorry... eh? ○-san?! Are you okay? You look terrible."
Finally, Ran Mouri arrived at Tenmangu Shrine. After passing through the main approach, she saw you squatting under the tree of the temzukuya with a pale face, staring blankly at the sky and mumbling: "Carrots, to put it bluntly, are just white radishes, and people, to put it bluntly, are just dead people..."
Ran Mouri didn't know how to deal with this situation. She looked at the people behind her helplessly: "That...○-san seems..."
Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagihara are familiar with your condition of "entering brainless mode due to the high concentration of living people". Kenji Hagihara comforts Ran Mouri and tells her not to worry too much about you.
Jinpei Matsuda picked you up even though your program was unresponsive, and dragged you into the woods nearby, allowing you to recover in an empty environment.
"You can't just break into the shrine's defensive forest..." Edogawa Conan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain, "As a policeman, you actually took the lead in breaking the rules..."
"Hey, little brother, that's not right." Hagiwara Kenji, who had good hearing, caught his words, bent down, and said in a half-joking tone, "There are no police here today, so leading the way in breaking the rules... as long as no one tells others, it doesn't exist."
"Although what big brother did was not very nice..." Yoshida Ayumi turned her head and glanced at the forest, "But, big brother, isn't he trying to help a friend? In the Guardian Forest, maybe God can make him get better faster!"
"If Conan is unwell and needs to use this method, I...we will do the same!"
The other kids in the Junior Detective Team also nodded in agreement.
Ai Haibara, who was standing with Professor Agasa, couldn't help laughing when she heard the others "criticizing" Conan Edogawa. She walked over to the other party and said in a low voice, "How does it feel to be chastised, great detective?"
"Hey, hey, stop looking at me laughing..." Edogawa Conan glanced at her and sighed resignedly, "I know..."
Hagiwara Kenji thought these kids were quite interesting. He reached out and rubbed Conan Edogawa's head: "Well, but under normal circumstances, don't do what Jinpei did."
Conan Edogawa, who was always good at pretending to be a child, went down the slope. He raised his voice and responded, "I understand."
You just came out of the woods and heard the cute voice of the Grim Reaper. You couldn't help but shudder: Damn it, is this something you can hear and see? The Grim Reaper won't knock on your door in the middle of the night, will he?
"○San...are you really okay?" Mao Lilan is worried about you, "Sorry, it's our fault that we came so late..."
You waved your hands quickly: "No, no, no, it has nothing to do with you. It's just that there are so many of you. Can I go first? Thank you for your invitation. We'll meet again if we're lucky enough..."
If you have nothing to do, just go home and log in first.
Matsuda Jinpei grabbed your collar and stopped you from running away. He was a little speechless: "When was the last time you went out, you bastard?"
"Do you want to leave so badly? Do you no longer like Kenji-chan and Jinpei?" Hagiwara Kenji said in a fake, complaining voice, "Do you... treat our relationship as a game? At this point, you still want to leave us alone... Sob, sob."
"You are slandering me!"
You kept poking at Jinpei Matsuda, and he actually said that you treated feelings as a game. You want to fight with Kenji Hagiwara! "You said I treated feelings as a game. What do you know? Do you know how seriously I play games?!"
Your powerful answer shocked everyone present.
Suzuki Sonoko leaned over to Ran Mouri's ear and said, "Ran, is this the person your aunt has been taking care of? Why do you feel like she's missing something?" For example, wisdom.
She sighed and continued as if complaining, "When you told me that the other person saved my aunt, I thought it was a handsome guy..."
It turns out that he is just an ordinary person, the type that you will forget as soon as you turn your head... Suzuki Sonoko glanced at the other people and became infatuated with them again, but the people the other person knew were all super handsome guys!
"Yuanzi..." Ran Mouri tugged at Suzuki Sonoko's clothes and shook her head, signaling her to stop talking. Then she looked at you and said with a little apology, "I'm sorry, Yuanzi didn't mean it..."
"This is my good friend, Suzuki Sonoko." Ran Mouri cleared her throat and introduced you to Sonoko, "This is ○-san."
After you greeted the super rich ladies certified by the Mika Forum, Mao Lilan introduced you to other people.
You are not good at remembering people and can only nod helplessly and add "umm hello hello" as a response.
The names and faces didn't quite match, but based on their distinctive features, you matched them with the people who were the hottest topics on the Mihua forum.
For example, this pink-haired guy with cat eyes.
Someone on the Mihua forum said that he was studying for a master's degree at Toudou University, but he suspected that his classmate actually had a dual personality. He would soon have to collaborate on an experiment and use the data to write a paper. He hoped that the personality that emerged this time would be the one for knowledge storage.
If possible, I still hope someone can exorcise the evil spirits for my classmate. What if he is possessed by an evil spirit instead of schizophrenia? Then his graduate thesis can be saved.
Finally, the other party attached a high-definition headshot of a student. It cannot be said that the student looks exactly like this Subaru Okiya, but they are the same person.
For example, take Dr. Agasa.
Someone on the forum complained that he had special information channels and finally bought a house near the author's home, which is a street neighbor. But the fat old man next door doesn't know what he is doing every day, and there are loud bangs from time to time, which is really disturbing. I hope everyone will avoid this street when buying a house.
A photo was also posted - although it was a version of Dr. Agasa's face being blown black while doing an experiment, you can still recognize it at a glance.
Not to mention Kogoro Mori, the Grim Reaper and his men, I have heard of their names for a long time.
You have great respect for Mao Lilan: I didn't expect that she is the most hidden one, look at this network of relationships...
Can't afford to offend.jpg

After washing your hands at the hand-washing house, you separated from Mao Lilan and her group - they wanted to go to Kakeima, but considering that there would be a lot of people there, they were considerate enough to leave you there and decided to go to the shrine to worship when there were fewer people.
"Now is the season for plum blossoms, everyone can go and enjoy the plum blossoms first." Mao Lilan looked at you, "○-san, if you want to..."
"There's nothing wrong with this guy." Jinpei Matsuda answered for you, "It's just right that the plum blossoms at the shrine purify this guy's brain." Don't play games until you're stupid.
"See you later then." Hagiwara Kenji winked at Suzuki Sonoko, whose face was flushed. "My lovely ladies."
Toru Amuro looked at you, then at Subaru Okiya, and finally he chose to act with Ran Mouri and the others, and sent you a message to apologize.
[Furiya Rei: There is a guy here that I care about...]
[Furutani Rei: I will definitely drive the damn FBI out of Japan! ]
Why are you so excited again? You are worried about Rei Furuya's mental state.jpg
Tenmangu Shrine also enshrines famous swords. Considering that most people who come to the shrine nowadays come to worship and admire the maple leaves, and also to kill time, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara decided to take you to see the swords.
"It's a very famous sword of the Genji in history." Hagiwara Kenji began to explain, "The Zanki sword that cut off Ibaraki Douji's arm is most famously called Onikiri Maru and..."
"Higekiri, right?" You turned your head to look at Hagiwara Kenji. "It's called Higekiri because it cuts off the prisoner's beard when testing the sword. Its brother sword is called Kneemaru because it cuts off the prisoner's knees."
"Oh..." Hagiwara Kenji sighed slightly, "That's amazing, ○-chan."
You are proud: "Well, this is nothing."
"You..." Matsuda Jinpei looked at you suspiciously, "You know all this? I thought you didn't care about anything other than games."
That...that really doesn't matter.
You look away guiltily, but isn't that a coincidence? The sword just happened to appear in the game, and you just happened to be brainwashed by "Anijia, my name is Higemaru", so isn't it normal for you to remember Higekiri Higemaru?
However...
You walked to the display case and looked at the swords in the glass case with some curiosity.
When you were in the game, you didn't look at the NPCs' bodies very carefully, but you never expected that you would look at a knife so carefully in real life.
Although I know nothing about swords, I can't deny that the katana in front of me, which is shining in the light, is undoubtedly very beautiful.
After playing the game for a long time, when you see the damage on the knife, you want to put the knife in the repair pool and then put a speed-up charm on it.
And... your expression has become a little weird. The swords on display are just the main body, without the scabbard or handle. In other words -
Higekiri is running naked!
You thought about the naked humanoid Higekiri sitting in the display cabinet, greeting visitors with a smile... You shuddered violently and decided not to go back to Honmaru for the time being.
Before leaving, you looked around like a thief, then put your face against the glass and shouted to the sword in a low and quick voice: "See you in the game, Higekiri-san."
…
Honmaru at the same time.
Higekiri, who had escaped from the internal anime and was happily sitting in the corridor, drinking tea with his tea friends, suddenly stopped moving.
The next second, a storm of cherry blossom snow swept across the entire corridor.
"Hahaha, has spring arrived? That's great, very great..."
"Oh, I heard the singing of birds... The flower petals floated into the teacup, and the taste of the tea became special."
The two old men buried in the petals drank their tea calmly.
"Brother...Brother?!" He came over with the three-colored balls in his hand, and with the petals all over his face, he sat down on the ground. "Why so suddenly?"
He wiped the petals off his face, looking a little bewildered: "Brother, did you encounter anything happy?" Or was the tea he brewed today delicious? Should he go ask Kasen Kanesada how to brew tea?
"Well, nothing..." Higekiri pretended to be distressed, "I just heard the master of the family calling my name... ah, I can't get to the master of the family, which really makes me distressed."
The old men drinking tea are no longer calm.
"Hahaha, did Higekiri-dono escape from the inner circle and hear the voices?" Mikazuki Munechika turned his head and "friendly" suggested, "Do we need to call Yaken over?"
"Although tea is good, you can't drink too much." Yingwan held the cup and took another sip, "Otherwise you will suffer from insomnia." Blade, who suffers from long-term insomnia, is prone to hallucinations.
"I can tell the difference between the false and the real." Higekiri, with cherry blossoms still blooming on his head, smiled softly and sweetly, "The head of the family... should have seen 'me' in the real world."
"so……"
He gathered his coat, stood up, and threw down a bomb with ease.
"I also saw what the master of the family looked like in the real world."
