After politely declining the new clothes sent by the maid Arao Miko, Nanami Kento used his magical power to quickly dry his clothes. He tried to send a message to Gojo Satoru again, but the small circle just kept spinning around and around, and arrogantly said "Please check the current signal", with no intention of sending the message at all.
The children outside the door were already playing happily, their laughter getting louder and louder, as if reminding him to speed up.
Nanami Kento took a deep breath, edited all the suspicious information into the memo on his phone, then put it in his pocket. He opened the door and greeted the few people: "I have sorted it out. How do I go about the adventure?"
"Dr. Agasa told us there is a treasure here!" Yoshida Ayumi was very excited, "Let's go treasure hunting!"
"But there are so many people... it's a bit crowded if we walk together." Yuan Tai scratched his head, "Should we compete separately?"
"One, two, three... seven, there are seven of us, how should we divide it?" Ayumi counted the numbers in confusion.
"Two, two, three is fine!" Mitsuhiko said, "Who does Ayumi want to be with?"
Yoshida Ayumi looked at Haibara Wataru, then looked at Edogawa Conan, and then met Haibara's sad gaze.
"Then I'll go with you." Ayumi shuddered, retracting the idea of going with the handsome man, and smiled awkwardly, "Xiao Shi is going with Huiyuan classmate?"
Nanami Kento said, "I'll team up with them."
"Then the only ones left are Conan and Genta." A few people were discussing among themselves, and the guy was so excited that he almost ran away.
Haibara Ai met Nanami Kento's gaze, and the two glances were like thunder meeting lightning, crackling and full of hostility.
Haibara Ai: As expected, this guy has some plans for Xiao Shi.
Nanami Kento: As expected, their hostility towards me is genuine.
Sandwiched between the two, Ryomiya Kazuki looks like a dull and confused cub on the surface, but is actually a roaring being inside: ...giao!
What on earth was wrong about him that made him the target of the sorcerer?
He has already asked the world consciousness to solve the problem of physical energy this time, and it is impossible for a situation like "Mizukami Heshu" that is neither human nor cursed spirit to appear again.
As for other aspects...Suzumiya Kazuki thought for a long time and realized that he had indeed not had any communication with the sorcerer.
Is it really because he is so handsome?
Tsk, what a sin.
After finding a "reasonable" reason for himself, Suzumiya Kazuki became much calmer.
As long as Nanami Kento exorcises the cursed spirit, he will leave, and then they will just be two intersecting lines, and there will be no other communication - it doesn't matter.
But they couldn't just let the fact that they scared him go, so Suzumiya and Shu decided to trick him secretly.
"In that case, let's have a competition. If anyone finds information about the treasure, remember to use the detective badge to tell everyone!"
Conan Edogawa looked at them worriedly and reminded them, "If anything happens, remember to tell us in advance."
After everyone left, Huihara Ai glanced at Nanami Kento and said, "Sir, do you have anything to say?"
Nanami Kento pushed up his sunglasses and did not answer her question. Instead, he walked in the remaining direction: "Didn't you say you wanted to look for treasure? Then let's go and take a look."
The people walking towards them were Haruto Nishiki and the maid Araki Miko, and they seemed to be talking about something.
Huiyuan Shi suddenly said, "Uncle, why don't you change your clothes? Is it because the clothes Uncle Xiqi gave you don't look good?"
Nishiki Haruto looked over subconsciously and saw that he was still wearing the same clothes, and gave Araki Miko a slightly dissatisfied look.
Nanami Kento paused, thinking it was really rude to reject someone's kindness. He said, "It's not that the clothes are ugly, it's just that I——"
"Could it be that Uncle Nanami didn't tell Sister Miko her size, so the clothes she got don't fit?" Huihara Wataru looked worried.
Miko Arashi apologized subconsciously: "So that's how it is, sir, how about you tell me the size now and I'll go get one for you?"
"No..." Nanami Kento twitched his lips, "I really don't need it."
Seeing the maid's guilty expression because she thought she hadn't done it well, Nanami Kento felt his scalp tingling. He never liked to ask favors from others. He made a detour and said, "Do you have any extra towels? I'll just wipe it."
Arao Miko handed him a towel and stood next to Nishiki Haruto again, but the way they both looked at him was not as peaceful as at the beginning, but more thoughtful.
It does feel rude when your kindness is not accepted, especially since Nanami Kento did not give a proper reason and did not refuse it at the beginning.
Huiyuan Shi walked over, grabbed his sleeve, and asked curiously, "Uncle Nanami, why is it red here?"
Nanami Kento looked down and saw some red stains on his sleeves. They were not very noticeable on his dark grey suit. They might have been left there when he was exorcising the cursed spirits during the day.
The look in the adult's eyes suddenly became strange, as if he had figured out why he didn't want to change his clothes.
"Probably ketchup," he said calmly, "I had tomato toast for lunch."
"Is that so..."
Haibara Wataru took a step back and stood with Haibara Ai.
Although Xiqi Haruto was still able to maintain a calm conversation, his eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Nanami Kento: "Since Mr. Nanami doesn't need dry clothes, then remember to keep warm late at night. It's still quite cool in the castle. It's best not to play for too long and go back to your room early."
The two walked upstairs along the corridor. Seeing Arao Miko fumbling to take out her phone, Nanami Kento suspected that she wanted to call the police.
But there is no signal here anyway, so it should be fine for him to lead the cursed spirit to the nearby forest in the middle of the night, exorcise it and leave.
He lowered his head and looked at Haibara Wataru, who suddenly became lively, opened his mouth and ruined his image, and pretended to be innocent in the end. He really had the illusion that he saw Gojo Satoru when he was a child.
"Let's go and take a stroll." Nanami Kento chuckled, but he never let down his guard.
Gojo Satoru sent him a lot of information, but except for the photo at the top, Nanami Kento didn't have time to look at the other contents. He walked forward while taking out his mobile phone to flip through the information.
Huihara Ai pulled Huihara Shizuo and said earnestly, "Shizuo, don't be so rash to approach strangers next time. Some people may look serious on the surface, but who knows what they do."
In her opinion, the fact that Haibara Shigeru took the initiative to talk to Nanami Kento and showed concern in his words naturally meant that he was expressing his goodwill. This could only mean that this man named Nanami Kento was not a good person.
After all, Haibara Wataru currently has a cold attitude towards the children of the Junior Detective Team, and is even more unwilling to meet the gentle big sister Mouri Ran.
Shiori Haibara nodded calmly. Being a sorcerer is not an easy job. It is dangerous and the salary is low. Nanami Kento's dead end has been broken by his manipulation of the brain flower. Now he is busy on the road to exorcise the cursed spirits every day, and he looks very tired.
The three of them walked forward on the thick carpet in the dim light of the corridor. Most of the rooms beside were locked. There were oil paintings hanging on the walls, most of which were portraits, staring at people, which was quite weird.
The few of them didn't have the same desire to search for treasure as the Junior Detectives, so they were basically just fishing in the water. Haibara Wataru was thinking about what else he could find to do during his vacation instead of exploring with the sorcerer; Haibara Ai was thinking about the intentions of this man wearing sunglasses indoors; Nanami Kento was looking at the information forwarded by Gojo Satoru, his expression becoming more and more serious.
Sure enough, the little girl lied to him.
This kid named Shigeru Haibara seemed to appear out of nowhere, without any basis, and his physical measurements were obviously not something a human could possess. It is possible that the girl was bewitched by him and stayed by his side.
Nanami Kento was thinking, if he connected what happened today, based on his initial idea, the child was most likely created by a sorcerer using human body experiments, as a means of trying to coordinate with the second-level cursed spirit, with the purpose of targeting the sorcerer who might receive the message and come here.
But it is obviously not enough to just target the sorcerers who come to perform the mission. Their purpose is probably to eliminate the sorcerers who come to perform the mission through encirclement and ambush, and then force Gojo Satoru to come to investigate.
Although Haibara Wataru cannot be Gojo Satoru's child, his eyes, which look no different from the six eyes, will undoubtedly arouse the Gojo family's curiosity, and they may even try to help him awaken his cursed power.
At that time, they can use this child's resemblance to Gojo Satoru and other children as hostages to do things that are detrimental to Gojo Satoru.
After all, although Gojo Satoru is the strongest, his spells are not yet controlled to the point where he can injure people at a specific point. If there are hostages, it will undoubtedly cause very difficult consequences.
So, what should he do...
Nanami Kento didn't know that his imagination was completely consistent with the Shibuya line of the original world line, especially the operation of the special-level cursed spirits using ordinary people to threaten Gojo Satoru and then taking the opportunity to set a trap and seal him in the Hell Gate. His idea was perfectly consistent.
However, compared to the special-level cursed spirits and humans that were everywhere in Shibuya, the castle was only a very small corner, and it was a scene that Nanami Kento felt he could handle alone.
He divided the information into several pieces in his mind, and used his years of proficiency in document preparation to classify them. He successfully found the key points in the cause, process, and result, and then - hit the weakness!
As expected, the cursed spirit should be exorcised immediately and quickly, and then Haibara Wataru, the source of the problem, should be taken away before they could react.
As long as he brought him back to the high school and handed him over to Gojo Satoru, he would undoubtedly break the plans of those people with bad intentions. Moreover, if there were any mistakes in his approach, he could send the child back afterwards if the child was not injured.
This is something that may be harmful if you don't do it, but will definitely be harmless if you do it.
Kento Nanami thought for a long time and felt that this plan was feasible. At least he had observed that the few people who had appeared so far were ordinary people who were powerless. The people hiding in the dark probably didn't expect his speed to be so fast.
Tonight is the best time!
He walked and thought until his head hit a glass lamp on the wall at the end.
Nanami Kento turned his head in confusion, only to find that he had walked through the endless corridor without knowing when, and the two children who were supposed to follow him on the "adventure" were all gone.
