Chapter 298 Xiao Ai's Ghost Story [2k Plus Update]

The mysterious old woman in front of me looks over 60 years old. She is wearing a blue kimono, with age spots on her forehead and a face as gloomy as everyone else in this village.

From the fact that Ruoye called her Aunt Xue, she should be an old employee here.

"Can't walk around at will?"

Ooka Hongye was a little confused, "Excuse me, is there any room in this mansion that cannot be entered?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."

Aunt Xue didn't give Hongye a good look, and said in a deep voice: "In this mansion, curiosity will only bring misfortune."

"We know that you can't walk around at will."

Fujino took over the conversation and asked: "Excuse me, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"This... there is nothing."

Aunt Xue was obviously stunned for a moment.

She was caught off guard by Fujino's move of taking over the host.

After recovering from her shock, she turned around and said to herself: "Since the rooms have been allocated, please check in as soon as possible. The young lady's pre-wedding party will be held at 9 o'clock in the evening. Please come and join us..."

Speaking of this, she did not forget to turn her head and repeatedly reminded: "You are the first guests who have listened to my words. Don't forget, don't walk around in this mansion at will, otherwise it will cause unexpected events."

"We know, Aunt Xue."

Watching Aunt Xue disappear around the corner, Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly.

He always felt that the villa where you can't walk around freely was a bit like the blue castle.

Could there be some corpses hidden here?

This mansion is getting more and more interesting.

As for the reason why they can't walk around freely, it should be because they are afraid of encountering corpses...

The rules of the science world are like the rules of strange talks.

If you ask too many questions, you may become the next victim.

Our little rich woman obviously hasn't come into contact with similar cases.

As a lady from a wealthy family, she has heard that some families have some private rooms that outsiders will not enter.

Although her family didn't have similar rules, she was influenced by them.

It was just that she said it in such a threatening tone...

It didn't seem right.

Thinking of this, Hongye turned around and asked Fujino curiously: "Fujiano-kun, did you understand what she meant by the unexpected encounter?"

"It should be because of Mr. Jin." Fujino thought.

"Because... Mr. Odagiri?" Hongye looked at Odagiri in confusion.

"......?"

Odagiri Jin was a little confused.

What does this have to do with me?

"I think the reason why Aunt Xue said this is that she is afraid that Mr. Odagiri will secretly meet with Wakaba..."

Fujiano sighed and explained: "The cold attitude of the people in the village should be the same. After all, many people should have known about his relationship with Wakaba."

"So that's the case..."

Hongye thought Fujino's words were quite reasonable.

Although she was Wakaba's classmate, judging from the performance of the head of the Tokida family just now, it should be Wakaba's idea to invite them here this time.

In this case, the purpose of bringing Odagiri Jin here was a little vague.

However, looking at the direction where Aunt Xue disappeared, Hongye couldn't help but murmur: "What a strange person..."

"It should be said that the people in this village are strange."

Huiyuan Ai suddenly said, attracting Hongye's attention: "Strange?"

"In such a remote village, there is actually such a huge mansion. Don't you think it's strange?"

Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms and looked around: "If I remember correctly, this old mansion built in the village should be the so-called Yijinkan."

"Yijinkan?"

Hongye murmured, "It's probably the residence of foreigners who came to Neon during the Meiji period, but what's so strange about it?"

"In fact, this remote Yijinkan has another alias in the legend."

"Another An alias?"

"I heard that a long time ago, these strange houses were built by missionaries from the West, and these strange houses are also called devil's houses."

Grayfield Ai narrowed her eyes and continued: "Those missionaries held evil demonic rituals here, which would suck out the souls of the villagers living here and turn them into unconscious zombies... Maybe there are one or two sacrificed bodies hidden in this mansion..."

"Sacrificed bodies? !"

Ooka Hongye's face turned pale: "In other words, encountering an accident means that if you accidentally find a body, you will be killed and silenced? !"

"It should be the meaning on the surface."

Grayfield Ai nodded meaningfully, looking at Ooka Hongye's frightened look, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"No wonder Ruoye seems to have become a different person. If so, then her soul has also been sacrificed? !"

Ooka Hongye swallowed her saliva and felt a chill on her back.

Fujino: "..."

I didn't expect that the little rich woman would be afraid of ghost stories...

But it's no wonder that Hongye is afraid.

After all, Huiyuan Ai's ghost story is too real.

It even makes him wonder if this village is really conducting some secret sacrifice ceremony.

…………

The sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the guest room were on.

Fujiano put away his luggage, and after a simple rest, he sat on the sofa and began to think about the various strange things he encountered after arriving in this village.

Ever since he entered the village, he always felt something was wrong.

A mansion where you can't walk around freely, a village full of weird atmosphere, and a famous detective invited to the wedding.

No matter how you look at it, all the elements of murder are in place...

If it were Conan, he would go out to explore tonight, and then find some unspeakable secrets, and then stage a thrilling small village escape, and kick a Western missionary with a football shoe.

But Fujino is not a death god elementary school student.

If he came here alone today, he might have investigated this matter in depth.

But unfortunately, this system task cannot be triggered...

The main purpose of his coming here this time is to protect Hongye's personal safety.

After all, that is a rich woman who paid two million yen. It is better not to involve her in such dangerous things.

…………

The guest rooms in the mansion are still quite luxurious.

There is a dressing room, bedroom, and living room in the room. It can be said to be a separate building.

Perhaps the only thing that is a little confusing is that there is no bathroom.

Actually, it is true when you think about it.

This villa looks very old. In that era, if there was an independent toilet in the room, it would probably suffocate people...

Huihara Ai changed into a light pajamas and walked out of the dressing room.

In a blink of an eye, she noticed Fujino who was sitting on the sofa, thinking about something.

Huihara Ai: "..."

Could it be that he was thinking about the ghost story she just told?

That ghost story was purely made up to tease the woman.

Although it was mixed with some realistic elements, it was also made up...

She felt that with Fujino's reasoning ability, he should not believe it.

Probably...

Huihara Ai adjusted her thin pajamas and buttoned up the unbuttoned collar: "Are you thinking about what happened just now?"

"Yeah."

Fujino retracted his thoughts and said, "I feel that this village is a bit weird."

'Really believe it? ’

Gray Hara Ai was surprised for a moment, "That's just a ghost story I made up temporarily..."

"I'm not talking about weirdness, but the atmosphere..."

Fujino said seriously: "This village is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. Maybe there are some unspeakable secrets behind it."

"Unspeakable secrets?"

Gray Hara Ai thought for a while: "Do you want to investigate?"

"Forget it."

Fujino shook his head: "After all, you and Miss Hongye are by my side. It will be troublesome if you encounter any danger."

"Well..."

Gray Hara Ai nodded and felt warm in her heart.

Although Miss Hongye made her feel a little sour, Fujino's style is indeed like this.

He will consider the people around him first before doing anything, and would rather be imprisoned than let the people around him encounter danger.

Maybe, this is the biggest difference between him and those stupid detectives.

"Knock knock!"

At this time, the door was suddenly knocked.

"Come in!"

Fujino just responded, raised his head, and his eyes gradually became a little confused.

The person who opened the door was Ooka Hongye.

She was wearing a pink nightgown at this time. The thin and soft fabric wrapped her whole body, outlining her proud figure, especially her chest that was held up high...

Although it was impossible from the material point of view, it still gave Fujino a feeling that the buttons might pop out in the next second.

"Ahem!"

At this time, Huiyuan Ai suddenly coughed lightly and kicked Fujino's calf with her small feet.

Fujino's thoughts were successfully pulled back by this kick.

Ooka Hongye's face was a little flushed, and hesitantly said: "Um, Fujino-kun, can you accompany me for a while?"

Fujino: "......?"

Huiyuan Ai: "......? ?!"

…………

The Clock House is a relatively old mansion.

Because it was built a long time ago, there are not many electric lights in the mansion. Most of them are still kerosene lamps, but they are not lit.

On the way back from the bathroom, Fujino walked in front with a flashlight to illuminate the road in front of him, and Xiao Ai and Hongye followed behind.

Ooka Hongye's face flushed, and she lowered her head and dared not raise it.

It was too embarrassing to have someone accompany her to the bathroom...

Huihara Ai looked at Ooka Hongye speechlessly, and for a moment she didn't know whether this was a conspiracy of a bad woman, or whether this woman was really so weak.

Isn't it just that someone threatened that she would die if she walked around casually?

It's not a big deal...

Fujino was more insightful.

In his opinion, it is really possible that someone will die tonight.

But he was not worried about it.

Although the buffs were already stacked up, it stands to reason that as long as you don't run around and don't trigger any outrageous mechanisms, you will probably be able to get through the night safely.

"Woo woo woo... Zi ah!"

At this time, a strange sound suddenly came from behind him.

Fujino turned around and saw a pair of eyes flashing with light suddenly jumped out of the darkness.

Subconsciously, he grabbed Xiao Ai with one hand and Hongye with the other, dodged to the side, leaned against the wall, and avoided the strange thing.

A closer look revealed that it was just a black cat.

How could a black cat make such a sound?

Fujino was speechless.

But before he could recover, the white wall suddenly flipped over, and he and the two of them were rolled into a dark room.

…………

Rolled in the dark space for about a few seconds.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound.

Fujino only felt that his back seemed to hit the wall, forcing his body to stop.

Before he could recover, waves of tingling came from all over his body.

This tingling sensation made him recall the memory of the last car accident...

Fujino took a deep breath and suppressed the tingling.

Then, he felt a strange sense of oppression in his chest.

Fujino didn't think too much, endured the severe pain, and took out the divine light from the portable space.

The magic stick illuminated the dark space.

What came into view was a secret room made of cement.

The entrance to the secret room was a flipped mechanical wall entrance.

In front of the entrance of the wall was a long concrete staircase with sharp corners.

From the visual height, it was about seven or eight meters high.

The three people who accidentally fell from above rolled down the stairs.

After checking the surrounding environment, Fujino lowered his head and saw Huiyuan Ai and Ooka Hongye lying in front of him.

The two closed their eyes and hugged Fujino tightly, breathing fairly steadily.

As for the soft pressure... it was caused by Ooka Hongye.

Although the facts were in front of him, Fujino couldn't help but twitch his mouth invisibly, and couldn't help but flash in his mind:

"Is this really the figure of a seventeen-year-old?"

"This little rich woman is a bit outrageous..."

"I'm afraid she lied about her age or something like that"

Thoughts like the above.

Judging from his feeling, Fujino felt that the little rich woman in front of him should be at the level of Vermouth.

But after thinking about it, he felt that Vermouth was not really outrageous...

This made him sigh in his heart: They are all seventeen years old, why is the gap so big?

(Sera Masumi: You keep scolding!)

Taking back his thoughts, Fujino felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, he is a normal person, and he can't bear this stimulation.

He struggled to prop up his body, gently pushed the two people away, and placed them aside.

At this time, the pajamas on Ooka Hongye and Huiyuan Ai were a little messy, and there was still some blood on them. One or two buttons of Hongye's pajamas were even broken.

But the blood was not theirs, but Fujino's.

Fujino fastened the two broken buttons and observed briefly. As a doctor, he could confirm that except for some scratches on Hongye's feet, there were no other scars on the two people.

Seeing that the two people were just unconscious due to the impact, Fujino couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then leaned limply against the "wall" behind him.

This was all thanks to Fujino's quick reaction at the moment of falling, who subconsciously hugged the two people into his arms and used his body as a human shield to protect them.

However, he was in a more miserable situation as a human shield.

He rolled down the cement stairs of seven or eight meters high and dozens of stairs with two people in his arms, and he alone bore all the impact of the other two people.

At this time, he was covered with bruises and small wounds all over his body, and the stinging pain came from those wounds.

Some wounds were deeper, and even faintly oozing blood, staining the white shirt red.

From the pain, it was impossible to judge how serious the injury was, whether there was internal injury.

"This time, the fall was worse than the last car accident..."

Fujino's breathing was rapid, and he took out [Fatty Happy Water] from his portable space and drank two sips. He looked at the injuries on his body and left a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.

But on second thought, he was already very satisfied.

Holding two people, nearly 100 pounds of weight rolled down from such a high place. If it were his previous physique, he would probably be dead...

Although the injury cannot be determined immediately, at least there is no fracture, which is a blessing in disguise.

Although his self-healing ability is outstanding, if he really has a fracture, his ability to move will be limited for a period of time.

About a few minutes later, Fujino gradually adapted to the pain in his body.

At this time, Ooka Hongye slowly opened his eyes.

She covered her head and slowly stood up, feeling a little dazed.

After recovering, she noticed Fujino's injuries at a glance.

Just when she was about to say something, her eyes were attracted by the "wall" behind Fujino.

Suddenly, her face turned pale, and then she let out a piercing scream: "Ah——!"

Huiyuan Ai was also awakened by this scream.

She just stood up and looked at the "wall" behind her, and she couldn't help frowning, and her face became a little ugly.

Fujino looked at the two people with pale faces and was stunned.

He supported his wounded body and just stood up. He turned his head and looked at the "wall" behind him. His face froze.

That was not a wall at all. It was clearly a stone coffin without a lid!

Inside the stone coffin, a figure was lying quietly.

It was a headless, seemingly burnt mummy!

Fujino stared at the mummy in front of him, his expression gradually darkening.

Sure enough, no matter what happens today, there is no way to escape...

This kind of mummy hidden in the basement is a bit outrageous.

Is it true, as Xiao Ai said, that this foreigner's pavilion is a devil's pavilion used by missionaries to sacrifice villagers?

Prophet, knife!

"A new detective special job mission has been detected, please check it carefully!"

Just as Fujino was thinking, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his ears.

Fujino was stunned when he heard the sound, and a light curtain appeared in front of him:

[Detective Special Professional Mission: Secrets Hidden in Hexagonal Village

Mission introduction: Weird mummies, strange villages, old mansions, what kind of truth is hidden behind everything?

Mission goal: Uncover the secrets hidden in Hexagonal Village

Mission reward: 4 million yen·600 detective reputation points

Mission limit: none]

The secret behind Hexagon Village?

Although it is Ke Xue, is it a bit too outrageous?

And the reward is actually four million yen...

This reward is so rich that Fujino wonders if the entire village is involved...

"who!"

At this time, the door of the wall machine was suddenly opened, and a figure looked directly at Fujino and the others with a flashlight.

Fujino turned his head and recognized the figure through the strong light through his vision-enhancing glasses.

It was none other than Tokita Ruoye’s father, Tokita Shisan.

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Tokida Shisan with a gloomy look.

Tokita Shisan's face was also a little gloomy. He looked at a few people and shouted casually: "What are you doing here?!"

Fujino: "..."

Look at the injuries on my body, what else can I do?

"We got lost when we came back from going to the toilet, and accidentally met a black cat. We were so frightened that it leaned against the wall, and then fell in here..."

Fujino's mentality was unusually calm. He stared at Tokida Shisan, rolled up his cufflinks, and exposed his arms covered with scars and blood.

"So this is ah……"

Tokita Shisan's expression suddenly calmed down again.

He was so kind and even scary that he walked down slowly: "In that case, I'll take you back. I'm really sorry... I caused you to be so seriously injured."

"Then I'll trouble you..."

Fujino watched Tokita Shisan's movements and walked forward slowly with a smile on his face.

At the same time, one hand was hidden in his pocket, ready to use the enhanced card or take out a pistol at any time.

According to normal circumstances, at this time, the other party should take action...

Damn it, is he possessed by a Shinigami primary school student?

Why do you encounter this kind of thing every time you go to the toilet?

He was certain that Tokita Shisan was a little fishy.

He didn't dare to estimate the combat power of the murderer in the world of Ke Xue. With his physical combat power, he could definitely defeat the opponent with full activation of + golden enhancement cards.

But what I was afraid of was that the other party took out a pistol from his pocket...

No matter how skilled he is, he is still afraid of pistols. At long distances, his shirt is not very bulletproof. If he is shot, he will be disabled or even killed.

Then you can only use guns...

It doesn't matter if he is exposed in front of Hong Ye and Xiao Ai.

As long as the two of them can survive...

Fortunately, until the end, Tokita Shisan had no intention of taking action.

Fujino deliberately followed Tokita Shisan and slowly returned to the guest room.

Ooka Momiji and Haibara Ai were naturally aware of the situation in front of them and did not dare to say anything. They just followed Fujino silently and looked at the injuries on Fujino's body with distress.

…………

"The injuries on your bodies don't matter, right?"

At the door of the guest room, Tokita Shisan's face was still kind, and he asked Fujino: "Do you need me to bring you a medical kit?"

"No need...I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Fujino responded briefly, and then dragged Haibara Ai and Ooka Momiji back to the room.

After returning to the room, Fujino locked the door directly. Hearing the footsteps outside the door gradually receding, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

Ooka Momiji looked at the scars on Fujino and immediately squatted down. He was about to reach out his hand, but suddenly stopped, and tears flowed down his eyes uncontrollably.

"do not Cry……"

Fujino sighed helplessly, "I'm not dead yet."

"How are you feeling?"

Hui Yuan Ai was much calmer and asked about the injury with a worried look on his face.

It's not that she is unreasonable, but as a science and engineering girl, she understands the current situation, and it is useless even to be sad.
