Taking out the cell phone, I hesitated for a long time, my finger was already on the call button, but I couldn't press it.

Natsume Takashi is a very good person, and he has always understood that if he tells him about his troubles, he is sure that he will be able to get comfort from Natsume Takashi like when he was a child.

But in this moment of hesitation, Kaiinji Suyu thought a lot. He was not sure whether he could tell Natsume Takashi about his troubles at this moment. After all, it was not something that could be revealed to anyone.

Just when he was about to give up the idea, a phone call came in.

Haiyinsi Suyou's fingertips trembled, and he almost dropped his phone on the ground because of this incident. Thanks to his good motor nerves, he finally picked up the phone before it hit the ground.

I turned on my phone and it was actually Natsume Takashi calling.

When the cell phone rang for the second time, Haiyin Temple Suyou finally answered the call.

As soon as the call was connected, the young man's gentle voice came from the phone, just like before.

"It's been a long time since I called, Xiaoyou."

Hearing the young man's smiling voice, Haiyinsi Suyou suddenly felt a little guilty. In the past, he would always talk to his distant cousin every once in a while to tell him about his troubles.

Natsume Takashi is a good listener. He always listens to him calmly and gives him some suggestions.

He and Natsume Takashi are not much different in age, and both lost their parents. They often discuss topics among people of the same age, so even though they are not particularly close and cannot see each other often, their relationship has always been very good.

In recent months, since he got the red notebook and learned a lot about the other side of this world, and also because of the pressure of becoming an evil god, he hasn't called Natsume Takashi for a long time.

Perhaps there was a selfish desire in his heart that he didn't want his cousin to be involved, so Kaiinji Suyou subconsciously excluded Natsume Takashi. He didn't want and was unwilling to let such a person face such a thing with him.

"It seems true. We haven't talked on the phone for a long time. I'm sorry." Haiyinsi Suyou said with some guilt, but he did not regret his decision.

The young man opposite seemed to pause for a moment before he said with a smile, "Why are you saying sorry all of a sudden, Xiaoyou? But I think at this point in time, you must be very nervous about studying."

Actually, it's not that bad. Apart from occasionally encountering some ugly and disgusting things that you don't really want to see, after summoning two vests, there is actually no need for Haiyin Temple Suyou to do many things personally.

But in order not to arouse Natsume Takashi's suspicion, he still agreed in a low voice.

However, this reaction seemed to make the young man on the other end of the phone a little worried.

"Are you okay, Xiaoyou? I always feel that you are not very happy," the young man seemed to be considering what words to use to describe you.

"Fortunately, I'm fine. I haven't been hospitalized for any unknown reason recently." Kaiinji Suyou made a not-so-funny joke, but perhaps because he remembered his last hospitalization, Natsume Takashi also laughed.

"Would you like to come over to my place and play? I've been quite free lately, and you're about to have a holiday too."

It must be said that Natsume Takashi always knew the limits of conversation. When Natsume showed reluctance to talk more during the tour of Kaionji Temple, the young man stopped asking too many questions and changed the subject readily.

"Yahara?"

"Yes, Yahara, this place is nice, isn't it? Although it's not as prosperous as the Tokyo area, it's very peaceful. Maybe it would be nice to relax here."

The young man on the other end of the phone spoke in a soothing tone, without a hint of coercion, and gave the suggestion sincerely.

After graduation, Natsume Takashi stayed in Yahara to work. According to his grades, it would have been easy for him to go to a big city, but because he was reluctant to leave the Fujiwara family who adopted him and the other ghosts in Yahara, he finally decided to stay.

Yahara is a very special place. The ghosts and gods born there seem to be

He seems to be more rational than other ghosts and gods of the same level except Yahara, and can even make friends with humans. Haiyin Temple Suyou knows that his cousin has many non-human friends.

It was a very tempting invitation, but Haiyin Temple Tour was hesitant.

The young man with soft brown hair sat at his desk, waiting for a reply from his distant cousin with some nervousness and hope.

From the conversation just now, he was almost certain that the Haiyin Temple tour was definitely not as uneventful as he said.

Perhaps due to past experiences, Natsume Takashi has always been very sensitive to other people's emotions. He knows that his cousin can see more than he can.

Could it be that he was frightened by some strange ghost or god? He thought about it, but he was a little uncertain. It didn't seem so simple. Besides, he always felt that it was not so easy to be frightened by the Haiyin Temple.

But no matter what, he hoped that Kaiinji Suyou would accept his invitation. Yahara was a very suitable place for people like them with psychic abilities.

However, it seems that some people, no, ghosts and gods, do not agree with his ideas.

The fat calico cat started whining ever since it heard him calling Kaiin Temple. Now that it heard that Natsume Takashi had invited his cousin to come, the cat teacher became even more unhappy.

"Don't let that troublesome kid get here!"

The big demon, who was already nervous because of the sound of the upstream trip to Haiyin Temple, suddenly got angry when he heard the content of the invitation, as if something dirty was stuck on his nose.

"Don't say that, Mr. Cat, Xiao You is not some strange monster from another place." Natsume Takashi quickly pressed the bottom of the phone and advised.

"Tsk, anyway, I'm warning you, it's best not to bother with it. That brat is very troublesome and has seen too much. His eyes are as if he has stripped us naked, and there's an inexplicable aura about him."

The chubby calico cat rarely said so much, and between the lines was his resistance to the possibility of traveling back to Haiyin Temple and coming to Bayuan.

But this does not seem difficult to understand. When visiting Haiyin Temple in the ward before, Teacher Cat showed great repulsion towards the teenager.

It was just like the division and hostility between the big demons over territory.

Natsume Takashi looked at the crazy calico cat with some helplessness, and joked: "Teacher Cat actually cares so much, I thought I was going to invite some particularly powerful monster to compete with Teacher Cat for territory."

However, the calico cat did not jump up in anger as it had done in the past when being joked about. After realizing this, the traces of the smile gradually disappeared from the young man's face.

"Mr. Cat."

Although he was just called by name, after spending so much time together, Madara knew exactly what Natsume Takashi wanted to ask.

"Anyway, if you say that little ghost is some kind of ghost, I'm sure there are people who believe it. Put away your kindness. That kind of trouble is nothing to that little ghost."

Madara said a little irritably. He knew the relationship between Natsume Takashi and Kaionji Suyou, but as a powerful ghost, he sometimes felt a kind of oppression from the power when facing Kaionji Suyou. Although the other party was just an ordinary human, he couldn't help but be on guard.

It was also at that time that he understood why the little ghost, who was described by Natsume Takashi as having a slightly stronger clairvoyance ability, was so easily noticed by ghosts and gods.

If it was just an ant's gaze, he might just laugh it off, but if the ant also had the scent of a lion, it would be a provocation.

At this moment, Madara and Kaionji Suyou reached a consensus in a sense. They both instinctively did not want to involve Natsume Takashi.

At this time, the boy's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I still have a lot to do at school, and I'm a little worried about my test scores, so I recently signed up for an after-school class."

Kaiinji Suyou still rejected the invitation from Natsume Takashi. He understood the young man's good intentions, but still lied.

"Is that so? Then I wish you good luck with your studies," the young man paused before saying, "Xiao You, you have really worked very hard."

Natsume Takashi's smiling voice came from the phone, as if it sounded beside Kaiinji Suyou. Kaiinji Suyou suddenly felt his nose a little sour. Even though Natsume Takashi knew almost nothing, he still felt that he was being understood.

When he hung up the phone, Kaiinji Suyou's mood had visibly improved a lot, but when his finger slid to another name in the address book that was also Natsume's, his expression sank again.

Conan Edogawa saw this scene when he went out to look for Kaionji Temple. The upper half of his former classmate's face was almost hidden in the darkness. The only skin exposed to the light appeared abnormally pale, and the bloodless lips were almost pursed into a line by the boy.

Perhaps he heard his footsteps, which Conan Edogawa was not sure about because he had spoken quietly enough, but Kaionji Suyou still turned his head and looked in his direction.

There was something very calm in those red eyes, like a tank of calm blood.

Conan Edogawa was unable to deduce what he had just done, but the detective had a hunch that Kaionji Suyou would not reveal anything to him no matter what.

"The police have already started to evacuate the crowd. Why are you staying here alone? Aren't you leaving with everyone else?"

Although he knew that Kaionji Suyou had recognized him, Conan Edogawa still insisted on disguising himself in front of others. After all, Xiaolan came out without him knowing when.

What greeted him was a long silence. Just when the shrunken detective thought that Haiyinsi Suyou was about to say something to him, the black-haired, red-eyed boy just took out a notebook, shook his head as if at the void, and said something to himself that he couldn't hear clearly, and then turned to him.

"I left immediately."

When Kaionji Temple passed by him, Edogawa Conan suddenly had a premonition that he might never understand the truth of certain things.

Conan Edogawa did not hear what Kaionji Suyou said, but the system heard it clearly.

"The chocolate feast is about to begin."

Haiyinsi Suyou covered his face with the notebook, and the pulsating feeling coming from under the cover seemed to be alive, making him feel as if he was touching a human's cheek at this moment, but he felt strangely comforted.

A line of small black and red characters that could only be seen by those traveling along the Haiyin Temple appeared on the yellowed paper.

【As You Wish】

"Let me take a good look at those dark places. What are the things that are slowly growing there?"

**************

Once the first few lottery tickets were found, it was as if a valve had opened, and almost overnight all five golden tickets were found.

But except for two tickets that were obtained by ordinary people and whose names could be seen by others, the whereabouts of the other three lottery tickets seemed to be unknown.

Apart from the news of its discovery, nothing else is clear, not to mention the identity of the winners, even the place where it was found is somewhat unclear.

Since Mao Lilan was the first person to discover the lottery ticket and was an ordinary person who could be interviewed, she received a lot of attention from the outside world. However, such fame still brought her some troubles. Therefore, the girl even hoped that this event would start earlier so that she could stay away from too much attention.

"Hey, Xiaolan, look at this!"

Mao Lilan was hanging out clothes when Edogawa Conan came to their house. Although he brought clothes with him, she was still a little worried as the clothes had been there for several years, so she wanted to wash them all again.

However, before she finished her work, she heard Kogoro Mouri's voice coming from the living room.

"What's the matter, Dad? You scared me." Mao Lilan poked her head out from the balcony, obviously a little dissatisfied with her father's surprise.

She looked at her father with inquiring eyes, which made Maori Kogoro subconsciously associate her with a strong woman. The man holding the newspaper immediately sat up straighter without thinking.

"That's it, why don't you pay attention to this matter, Dale Candy

The factory tour is about to begin! ”

After hearing this, Mao Lilan stopped working on her hands, wiped her hands on her apron, glanced at the newspaper, and hurriedly picked up her vibrating cell phone.

Sure enough, Suzuki Sonoko, who was the most well-informed, sent her a message early this morning. She was very happy that her best friend stayed up late to tell her the good news, but she was also a little worried about her friend's health.

At this time, Kogoro Mori spoke, and the man seemed to have made an extremely difficult decision.

"It's a pity that I received such a big commission, otherwise I could go with you, Xiaolan. It's really a bargain for that kid." Perhaps he thought of something, and the man who was still a little drunk this morning showed some clarity in his eyes. "Be careful. I don't know what kind of people the other winners are."

"Of course I can. I'm an expert in karate." Feeling her father's concern for her, Mao Lilan also smiled and waved her fists, which had a quite comedic effect.

Conan Edogawa, who went downstairs to drink water, heard the conversation between Kogoro Mori and Ran Mori, and showed the most worried expression of the three.

*************

"What the hell is going on with that Roald Dahl guy?"

The woman holding a corner of a gold ticket in her hand showed a somewhat impatient expression, but this did not affect her grace in any way.

Even though her irritability was obvious in her words, the woman's gesture of sipping the tea was still graceful, worthy of the title of Baroness.

"Who knows?"

Three girls of different ages sat on the same sofa and answered in unison, like three larks singing at the same time. Only those who knew them knew that the Bronte sisters were not as harmless as they seemed.

Their similar appearance makes it easy to recognize their relationship. It is obvious that they are three close sisters.

"It doesn't matter as long as Uncle Dale doesn't hang out with that Yankee Hemingway."

The youngest of the three sisters giggled and said.

"Tsk, you're the only one who would think so, of course." Agatha Christie put down her teacup and pursed her lips again.

"Who has decided to let go? There are two spots available, and Charlotte also wants to visit Uncle Dale's chocolate factory." This time it was Charlotte Bronte who spoke, and the girl looked at her boss with hopeful eyes.

"Don't even think about it. Satan knows if the brains of those old men have been soaked in water from the English Channel. One of the vacancies is no longer under our control."

When this was mentioned, the expression on the woman's face seemed to become even worse. The three sisters who were chattering just now immediately lowered their heads and started eating desserts with too much sugar.

"As for the candidate, the Duke of Monmouth recommended Defoe to me. Although I don't like that barbarian, I have to admit that the Duke of Monmouth is good at employing people."

Without waiting for the baroness to signal to the people around her, the waiter beside her poured her new cup of black tea. Comparing the fragrant snacks first, she seemed to be more interested in drinking tea today.

"Mr. Defoe?"

"Well, even though he looks like a guy with muscles all over his head, he was able to have the last laugh with that guy from Monmouth in the political struggle. I'm afraid it's not just because he followed the right person. There won't be any fools in such a position. Besides, we have other insurances."

Agatha Christie said without letting anyone be refused.
