Chapter 243 Betrayed by the World Consciousness
Kawasaki Machi immediately ran back to the main gate to tell them the news and urged them to come in quickly.
It's alright during the day, but whether it's safe after dark is another story...
After Ai Haibara, with a cold expression, entered the courtyard, Conan, who was at the end of the line, squeezed in, dusted himself off, and looked around.
The commotion they made caused dust to fly everywhere.
Brushing away the dust floating in front of his eyes, Mitsuhiko stared at the house, which was completely silent, and said, "Let's go inside now!"
“Okay, okay! Let’s go!” Yuan Tai was the first to jump out and agree.
The six children approached the house in a rather large, albeit not very, procession.
The courtyard gate was clearly locked, but the house door was easily pushed open without being closed.
Stepping inside, the room was filled with dust and smoke, and many pieces of furniture were covered in cobwebs. You could even see spiders crawling on the webs.
There was absolutely no sign of human activity.
Although it was somewhat of a wasted trip, Conan was relieved that no case occurred.
However, the group ahead was still eager to search the house, so Ai Haibara and Conan followed behind them, intending to accompany them.
They didn't notice that a pair of eyes from a little black man was watching them from behind.
Several children squeezed into the kitchen and started rummaging through the dust.
"Huh?"
Kawasaki Machi, who was squatting under the table, let out a questioning sound, followed by a sudden bang and his exclamation.
Conan and the others rushed over to check and discovered that there was a hole in the floor under the table leading to the basement.
They carefully climbed down and saw Kawasaki Machi, who had accidentally fallen, rubbing her ankle with tears in her eyes, saying, "I think I hurt my leg..."
Ouch! I've been betrayed by the world's consciousness!
it hurts--!
Conan quickly went over and took off his shoes and socks to check.
"His ankle is a bit swollen, he must have twisted it. Let's leave here and take him to see a doctor."
As he spoke, he helped Kawasaki Machi up.
Just as they were about to leave the ground, the door above suddenly slammed shut!
They turned around abruptly and saw a man with disheveled hair and dirty clothes, who could be vaguely identified as male, descending the ladder in front of them. He held a gleaming knife in his hand, and his left eye, which was not hidden by his hair, flashed with a ferocious killing intent.
Immediately, all three elementary school students instinctively hid behind Conan.
The man pressed closer, and they retreated step by step.
Kawasaki Machi's eyes were brimming with tears of pain.
But in the man's eyes, those were tears of fear, which only fueled his excitement. "You brats! How dare you come in here so fearlessly!"
He let out a maniacal laugh, "Even if you know nothing, since you've entered this place, you're all going to die!"
He grinned widely, raised the knife in his hand, and charged towards Kawasaki Machi!
Just as Conan, who was supporting Kawasaki Machi, was about to use the tranquilizer dart, a red figure suddenly appeared behind them, kicked the knife out of the man's hand, and then, while the man was stunned, kicked him backward with a spinning kick, sending him crashing onto the stairs.
His smooth movements stunned the children behind him, who couldn't shake off the fear on their faces.
