Chapter 67



As long as Huiyuan Shizuo was not blind, he could see the cursed spirit lingering on the top of the castle from a distance. The ugly thing would occasionally stick out its tongue to lick the lightning rod on the top of the castle, like sucking a lollipop. According to the pressure, it should be at least level two.

In the past, this group of people were just delivering food!

Even if Edogawa Conan, the son of this world, will not die under the protection of the world consciousness, others may not have such a guarantee. Moreover, if they had to witness such bloody scenes in the past, these children would probably suffer from psychological trauma for the rest of their lives.

But the most important thing is——

He doesn’t want to see the sorcerer at all now! !

There really aren't many normal people among that group of guys, and because of their small number, they tend to stick together more severely. If just one person finds out something, it's guaranteed to spread throughout the entire magic world in no time.

This is so fast compared to the speed of information dissemination on the Conan set that it seems to be in a different dimension. If the red side in Conan had been more honest and opened his mouth more, this plot would have ended long ago...

However, since the cursed spirit is still crouching, and the owner inside is fine and can still jump around and send them messages, it means that the information may not have spread to the curse world yet, and it is possible that they will not encounter the sorcerer this time.

Shigeru Haibara used the plug-in to scan the surrounding environment and indeed did not sense any other cursed energy, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he stays out of the way and doesn't deal with those people in the other world, this vacation will be absolutely fine!

Shigeru Haibara doesn't know yet that he has become famous throughout the Jujutsu High School thanks to a photo taken by Conan Edogawa, otherwise he would definitely turn around and sell Conan to the brewery - the kind of thing that would be handed over to Gin personally.

------

Both Haibara Ai and Edogawa Conan knew that Haibara Wataru was a crybaby and grouchy person. But it had never happened before that he cried and wanted to go back home right after waking up. For a moment, everyone was confused and didn't know what had happened.

Dr. Agasa patted the child's head and coaxed him, "Did Xiaoshi have a nightmare? It's okay, everyone is here, we are just going on a picnic."

"You won't run into a demon! Ayumi will protect you!" Yoshida Ayumi stood by, clenching her fists, "Don't be afraid, Shizue, Conan and Haibara are here."

Haibara Wataru had no words to express his grievances and could only look to Haibara Ai for help.

Haibara Ai received the signal and accepted it successfully, and sent a signal to Edogawa Conan and the transfer was successful.

According to their tests over the past few days, what Huibara Shigeru is afraid of is nothing more than those kind-hearted people with strong fighting power, as well as those who are afraid of perms, sunburn, smoke, pollen, and other small fairy-like masculine characteristics.

Therefore, if he dares to go to a place that scares him, there shouldn't be any bad people there.

Moreover, there is another reason why Conan Edogawa agreed to go to the castle together. That is, the owner of the castle, a man named Haruto Nishiki, is actually a friend of his father and an avid detective enthusiast. There are many rare books on solving cases in the castle.

It would definitely be inappropriate for him to go under the name of Kudo Yusaku in his current image. He finally got the chance to go on an outing with Professor Agasa and the Junior Detective Team, and Edogawa Conan didn't want to give up at all.

Haibara Ai didn't think too much about it. She just thought that since Haibara Shigeru had already left the organization, he should get familiar with other people in his life. After all, there are more good people in this world. It would be too bad if she was afraid of everyone she met.

This wave is desensitization treatment.

The two exchanged glances and reached a consensus.

Huiyuan Ai stood on tiptoe, grabbed Huiyuan Shi's hand, and comforted him, "It's okay, we'll just stay there for one night and come back."

Huibara Shigeru was in despair. If he stayed there for just one night, would he be able to come back alive?

Didn't Haibara Ai just say that she liked him the most? Why did she flirt with that guy Edogawa Conan and then veto his proposal?

How can love disappear so quickly!!!

Never mind. If things really get critical, he can use some of his energy to deal with the weirdness. At most, he can just end his vacation earlier...

Shiori Haibara sighed, leaned on Dr. Agasa's shoulder and shut herself up.

Seeing that Huibara Wataru was not in a good mood, the other children from the Junior Detective Team offered to sing a song to cheer him up. They held hands and sang as they walked, startling a flock of birds, and soon they arrived in front of the castle.

Ordinary people cannot see cursed spirits, and cursed spirits will not immediately cause harm to ordinary people. There is a transition process during this period. As long as negative emotions and remnants accumulate enough, ordinary people will be able to see cursed spirits, and cursed spirits that are sensitive to sight will attack without hesitation.

At this moment, even though the cursed spirit has been lingering in the castle for a long time, the new owner, Haruto Nishiki and his family are still safe.

Shigeru Haibara kept his head down and counted ants, trying not to look at the cursed spirits, while cursing those unreliable sorcerers in his heart.

Upon learning that Dr. Agasa was coming, Nishiki Haruto was already waiting at the door.

This is an old gentleman in his fifties, who lives a life of luxury and takes good care of himself, except that he has some baldness on the top of his head and the hair in the middle is sparse. He tried hard to cover it up with some of the loose hair on the sides, but it was of no use.

As soon as he saw everyone, he immediately came over with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work! We have prepared a sumptuous dinner, let's eat together."

Professor Agasa put down the desperate Haibara Wataru and let Haibara Ai lead him, while he walked forward with Nishiki Haruto.

"Wow! What a big house!" Yoshida Ayumi exclaimed, "Can we play adventure games here?"

Xiqi Qingren said, "Adventure games... you can play them if you want, but I only bought this castle a few months ago and have only lived here for a few days. There are many places that I don't understand clearly. Please be careful when you play."

Conan Edogawa became very lively. He asked, "Uncle, I heard there was a legend about this place. Do you know anything about it?"

Xiqi Qingren was stunned for a moment, and tightened his grip on the handrail of the stairs. He smiled and said, "Indeed, there is... but it's just to scare outsiders."

Guangyan was also a little curious: "Can you tell me about it?"

"Well... this castle, I am actually the eighth owner, except for the original Duke Lushanye who built it and lived in it for sixty years, the subsequent owners have changed very quickly, especially three in the past year."

"And the previous owners all disappeared without a trace." He spoke in a low voice, as if he was telling a ghost story. "Rumor has it that there is a huge ghost lurking in this castle. It will devour the emotions of the residents, making them crazy, and then swallow them up in one gulp when it goes crazy!"

Young Detective Team: “Eh——!!!”

"Hahaha, don't be scared, it's just a legend."

Shiori Haibara thought casually, what a hell of a legend, three of them have already died, why hasn’t the sorcerer come yet? Bad review!

Nishiki Haruto laughed childishly, and then was interrupted.

A woman with big curly hair walked gracefully down the stairs and arrived at the restaurant on the second floor. She complained, "Dad, can you please not talk about these horrible things so late at night!"

The woman looked a little haggard and pale. Even with makeup on, she didn't look healthy. She was the first to open the door of the restaurant and said to Dr. Agasa and the others, "You must be the guests my father has been talking about. I am Mina Nishiki. Welcome."

"Sister, you are so beautiful." Yoshida Ayumi exaggerates without hesitation.

Xiqi Mina smiled, squatted down and touched her head: "You are also very cute."

She looked around and soon saw Huihara Wataru, who was being pulled by Huihara Ai and looked distracted. She immediately stood up and walked over, exclaiming, "Wow... What a cute little brother, is this hair color natural? It feels so natural."

Huihara Shi gave her a stiff smile and silently said in his heart, the second one.

"Mina, you really like children, right? Then we can have some after we get married."

A man with blond hair and wearing an open-collared shirt came down and said arrogantly, "Don't bother with these little brats. We will have them in the future."

Nishiki Mina rolled her eyes and said, "Sarimichi Zouto, I didn't agree to marry you."

"Your mother and my mother have already discussed this, right?" Li Daozou found a seat and sat down, looking determined to win.

Xiqi Qingren looked unhappy, but didn't say anything.

Ah...the third one looks like a victim.

Soon everyone sat down. The maid who came to put the dishes on the table was clumsy and knocked over the candlestick, spilling soup on the clothes of Michiko. He was so angry that he yelled, "Miko, you bastard! You have been working here for so long and you are still so careless! You should be fired!"

The maid named Arao Miko apologized frantically.

Hmm... okay, choose one from three, a murderer, two spectators, and a victim, all together.

While maintaining his character, Haibara Wataru refused to drink the greasy pig's trotter soup, picked some fruits to eat, and complained in his heart.

"Why are you scolding Miko? It was obviously your feet that blocked her path!" Xiqi Mina explained to the maid, "You should change your clothes first!"

Rido Kaoren left the scene, and Arasio Miko left the scene.

The cursed spirit on the roof hadn't moved yet, but it had begun to rain outside in a very atmospheric way. The children ate their dinner contentedly, planning to go explore the castle together after dinner.

They were only halfway through their meal when a doorbell rang from the first floor. The host, Haruto Nishiki, wiped his mouth and prepared to go downstairs to open the door.

Conan Edogawa followed him and asked, "Aren't you worried that he's a bad guy?"

Xiqi Qingren explained: "This place is very remote, and the roads outside are not easy to walk on. On rainy days, there are often vehicles that are anchored and cannot move, so sometimes many people come here to ask for help."

He picked up an air gun in the hall, put it behind the door and opened it.

Standing outside was a man in a suit, sunglasses, and a leopard-print belt. He was soaked by the rain and looked like a person in distress.

"Do you want to come in to shelter from the rain? We are having a meal, you can come in, sir." Xiqi Qingren took a quick look and saw that he did not have any weapons and did not look very strong, so he invited him.

Conan Edogawa glanced at his back and thought to himself that Haruto Nishiki must be the kind-hearted person that Shigeto felt afraid of.

"My name is Nanami Kento, nice to trouble you, host." The man took off his sunglasses, shook off the water on them, and greeted politely but awkwardly.

Conan Edogawa focused his attention on the old coil in his hand, and his heart inexplicably tensed.

Several people returned to the restaurant.

At this time, Sarimichi Zouto had already changed his clothes and came back. The maid received the message and prepared the plates again.

When Haibara Wataru saw the person coming in, he was almost choked by the grapes.

Oh my god, why did he come at this time, instead of earlier or later?

My dear, do you also want to be a criminal suspect?
