Chapter 68



After learning that there were still ordinary people living in the place where the cursed spirits were, Nanami Kento knew that he could not rashly go there to exorcise them, but should focus on evacuating the people.

Because generally where cursed spirits go there is usually no grass or anything growing, many ordinary people who are harmed will flee in panic, so the problem can be solved quickly by just laying a "prey" and cooperating with the police.

Only some second-level and higher cursed spirits have some intelligence, which gives rise to many behavioral patterns and allows them to hunt in various ways.

For example, the cursed spirit of the castle seems to prefer indulging human fears, just like raising food, and will not kill until a certain limit is reached.

It was precisely because of this cunning behavior that he was able to devour multiple victims without being noticed by the curse world, and because of the long time interval, there were still people who bought the castle, and he could even reuse it.

Fortunately, the truth will eventually come out.

It is raining heavily now. Whether we go out to ask the police to help evacuate or persuade them to leave ourselves, it is unlikely to be completed immediately. We have to delay it for one night and wait until the rain stops.

But... why are there so many people?

Nanami Kento looked at the whole family at the dining table, his brows furrowed, and his aura became even more serious.

At a glance, the little white-haired kid sitting in the corner was particularly conspicuous, which made Kento Nanami's heart skip a beat.

I went over the text messages I received this afternoon in my mind again.

Xiqi Qingren said, "Sir, please come and eat first. I will arrange for the maid to prepare dry clothes for you later."

He explained to the others, "This is Mr. Nanami Kento. His car got stuck and he came here to take shelter from the rain."

The man muttered in dissatisfaction: "This is the nth time this month that he comes to eat without paying..."

Mina Nishiki pushed his shoulder and gave Kento Nanami an apologetic look.

Nanami Kento nodded, his face expressionless: "I will pay you."

The maid set the table and ran out again in a hurry.

Shiori Haibara buried his head in the food plate, his eyes looking at his nose and his nose looking at his heart, pretending not to see it. What does the sorcerer have to do with him? He is just an innocent elementary school student.

Unexpectedly, Nanami Ken walked straight up to them and sat on the right side of Haibara Wataru.

Seemingly innocent, but in fact feeling inexplicably guilty. Shigeru Haibara: …the hand holding the knife and fork trembled slightly.

In order to prevent the other kids from the Junior Detective Team from disturbing his meal, he sat in the corner, with only Haibara Ai sitting on his left.

The other end of the rectangular dining table was also half empty, and the maid placed the tableware in that direction.

So, this person came over here on purpose.

As expected, Nanami Kento brought the plate over seriously, and then asked casually, "Little brother, do you live here too?"

Oh, you ask me and I have to answer? No!

Shigeru Huihara picked up a cherry tomato and put it in his mouth to chew, pretending not to hear.

Ai Huihara looked up warily, as if she saw a big bad wolf seducing a little sheep. She asked, "What kind of job does this gentleman do? Why is he here so late?"

"I'm a freelancer. I came here just because I heard that you can take pictures of the beautiful sunset in the evening. Unexpectedly, it rained today." Nanami Kento pushed his sunglasses and said meaningfully, "I'm just a little curious about so many children."

At this time, most people had finished their meal. Kanato Uramichi was chatting with Mina Nishiki, while Dr. Agasa was talking to his old friend about his inventions.

Conan Edogawa walked up to them thoughtfully and said in a baby voice: "Uncle, your work as a photographer is very hard and dangerous, isn't it?"

"How do you say it?"

"You have thick warts on your thumb and base of the thumb, signs of wear on your middle finger, and a little swelling on the knuckles of both hands." Conan Edogawa analyzed with scrutiny in his eyes, "These are marks left by long-term use of knives and typing on keyboards. Do photographers have to be so versatile now?"

Is this something elementary school students should know?

Nanami Kento finally showed a hint of surprise: "Little brother, you know a lot. Indeed, I used to be a chef and also worked as a programmer for a long time. I just quit and became a freelancer recently."

As if he was thinking about his previous job, he sincerely revealed a tired and depressed look: "The work is really too difficult, especially when I encounter a boss who has too many things to do."

Edogawa Conan observed his expression and saw no flaws. Instead, he seemed to be thinking this sincerely, so he suppressed his doubts in his heart.

"Hahaha, is that so?" He laughed twice, pretending to be stupid. "We are here to explore the castle, not this one. I didn't expect to run into you by chance."

Conan Edogawa, whose family is extremely wealthy and whose classmate is the daughter of the Suzuki family, actually doesn't understand what it feels like to work part-time, so he directly changes the subject.

Nanami Kento nodded at him, turned to look at Haibara Wataru again, and said softly: "Little brother, can you raise your head and let me take a look?"

Why did he find Nanami Kento so pleasing to the eye before? Why has he become so annoying now? Is it because the cursed spirit above his head is not fragrant enough? After all, it can't be his charm... cough cough.

Recalling the scattered thoughts in his mind, Huihara Wataru raised his head and looked at him expressionlessly, then continued to concentrate on eating the fruit, as if nothing had happened.

Haibara Ai and Edogawa Conan looked at each other and began to explore. Conan asked: "Uncle Nanami, do you know Xiao Shi?"

Nanami Kento was still replaying the scene in his mind when the child raised his head and looked at him without any emotion. His deep blue eyes were icy and cold, unlike those of an ordinary person.

Moreover, the child seemed to know him. At first, he did not feel any surprise at seeing a stranger, but rather some hostility.

He compared the person in front of him with the photo sent by Gojo Satoru in his mind, and it seemed that they really matched.

But he was only planning to exorcise a cursed spirit, it was just too much of a coincidence that he ran into this.

Could it be that this child is actually a conspiracy of the curser, who wants to use him to set a trap for Gojo Satoru?

Nanami Kento's heart sank, but he said calmly, "I just think this child looks familiar, a bit like the child of a friend I know. I don't know his parents' names."

"He is my younger brother, my biological brother." Haibara Ai put down her chopsticks, her face stern and looking very serious. She emphasized the last two words, obviously being highly wary of Nanami Kento.

You must be kidding. How could Xiao Shi be a member of the Miyano family? Her parents had been dead for so long, it was impossible for her to know him, and she herself had never met Nanami Kento.

Suddenly "making friends out of nowhere" to get close to me, is there any other intention?

In Haibara Ai's mind, she had already regarded this mysterious-looking man who spoke half-truths as a trafficker with bad intentions towards Haibara Shibuya.

Edogawa Conan winked at her, and Huihara Ai said directly to Huihara Shi, "Xiao Shi, let's go out and see other fun things."

Shiori Haibara nodded and glanced at Kento Nanami, who somehow saw a threat in his glance.

The two of them left immediately, leaving Nanami Kento sitting in a chair in a daze, not even touching a single bite of the food in front of him.

Nanami Kento's technique is called "Wall Fall", which is able to create weaknesses in the opponent, and is effective for both people and objects. Because of this ability, his control over the human body has reached an extremely sophisticated standard.

Although the blood cannot be tested, in Nanami Kento's opinion, the boy who was suspected to be used to attract Gojo Satoru's attention was not similar to the little girl in front of him at all, especially the almost opposite hair color and eye color. It is impossible for them to be born by the same parents.

In other words - she was lying.

Sure enough, this place is a trap for sorcerers.

The cursed spirit that hadn't launched an attack, the white-haired child that Gojo Satoru had just told him to gather intelligence and find out, the boy with amazing observation skills, and the little girl who tried her best to hide the white-haired child's true identity...

There was an abnormal smell everywhere.

"Conan~ Let's go! Let's go on an adventure together!" The members of the Young Detective Team ran over, their faces full of excitement.

Yoshida Ayumi looked at the wolf sitting next to her, soaking wet and looking lonely, and asked kindly, "Uncle, do you want to explore with us?"

"I'm Ayumi, their names are Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Conan, and the ones who just left are Ai and Wataru. We are from the Junior Detective Team!"

"But you have to dry your hair first, change your clothes, and... you'd better bring anything you think you should bring." Mitsuhiko added, "We can wait for you for a while."

Nanami Kento nodded and said politely, "I am Nanami Kento. OK, I understand."

The children all rushed out of the restaurant happily. Conan Edogawa, who stayed at the end, looked back with an inquiring look and happened to bump into Kento Nanami when he raised his eyes. He quickly covered his embarrassment with a smile and walked out.

He was the only one left in the restaurant. He was just a stranger, but they let him do whatever he wanted.

Kento Nanami casually picked up the biscuit in his pocket and started eating it, indifferent to the delicacies on the table.

At first he just thought that the owner of the castle was a kind person and invited him to be his guest by chance, but now it seems that it might be a trap set by the cursed spirits or the sorcerer.

He had just taken out his cell phone to check. The signal was there even in the dense forest, but it disappeared shortly after he entered the castle. He couldn't even send a text message.

Especially those children, there was no sign of practicing magic on their bodies, but everyone's attitude towards him was a little weird.

The girl named Ayumi had been observing the scene over there the entire time, and naturally saw that the two kids disliked him, yet she still took the initiative to invite him to join the event.

Ayumi Yoshida: It seems like their chat is very interesting, but Xiaoshu is still very shy. No, she must make Xiaoshu more active!

The boy named Guangyan kindly advised him to dress properly and bring the necessary things. The things that a sorcerer should bring are definitely weapons. Are they so confident?

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: I hope this uncle can be more reliable and bring his own phone and flashlight for adventure. Otherwise, they have detective badges and the uncle might feel left out.

And Conan, who had been secretly hinting at his identity from the beginning, gave him a meaningful look before leaving.

Conan Edogawa: ...I'm used to it.

It was a dark rainy night. There was wind, rain and lightning outside. The cursed spirit above my head was emitting an unknown aura. A white-haired boy suddenly appeared, mysterious children, and a seemingly carefree owner...

Kento Nanami took a deep breath, touched his kitchen knife, and adopted the attitude he would use to treat a special-grade cursed spirit.

The author has something to say: Scientific law: When the Blizzard Mountain mode is turned on, it is either raining heavily or snowing heavily outside, and the signal is always bad.

Ryoumiya really didn't expect that it was Nanami who came and looked like she was eyeing him. Naturally, he was upset and revealed a little bit of emotion, which was discovered by Nanami.
