Chapter 797: Too Immoral

"This is!"

After rotating all the statues to the correct position, Conan and Washikomiya Orange heard a clicking sound from the mountain gate, as well as the harsh noise of metal gears and chains.

The two people standing next to Mitarai looked at each other after hearing the sound, nodded, and slowly walked to the torii of the mountain gate and lowered their heads. They saw that the three steps going down from the stone road collapsed.

The steps are in one piece, but they are not broken. There are rusty iron chains hanging on both sides of the steps. Just thinking about it carefully can tell that the iron chains were hanging on the steps before.

"There are also buckle structures on both sides of the steps and below. No wonder people going up the mountain don't notice it at all."

Conan took off the bandage and hung it on the tree next to the entrance of the cave. He tied the other end to himself and jumped down holding on to the stone slab. When he landed, he realized that although the cave entrance was not deep from above, the passage was diagonally going down from the inside. Dark.

"Come down."

After reminding Chengzi to jump down, he casually drew a bow mark on the wall with a stone, then turned on the photoelectricity of his watch and pointed it inside, finally taking a clear look at the passage.

It turned out that it was about fifty meters down to the bottom. The flashlight happened to shine on the innermost position. Although it was not clear, Conan and Chengzi discovered a wooden door covered with iron edges.

Walking along the passage, Conan looked at the brown torii gates that appeared every ten meters. He reached out and touched the pillars, and observed carefully before his eyes. He confirmed that these torii gates should have been red originally, but it was just time. It took a long time to change color.

"That door looks like it's decades old."

Conan did not walk to the wooden door immediately. He glanced at Chengzi from the corner of his eye and saw that she was even more surprised than him, and he was relieved.

"You still really don't know this place." He looked at Chengzi speechlessly.

"Didn't I tell you that my family only told me the secret of the shrine and the secret statues, but I didn't know anything about it after that."

Orange walked to the torii gate closest to him and knocked on the pillar, his mouth slightly opened: "This material is much better than what we have above."

She immediately walked to the wooden door and noticed the old lock on the door and the dehydrated and shriveled willow sticks inserted into the bolts. She pulled out the sticks and inserted them into the lock. After three strokes, five divided by two, the lock was unlocked.

"You're quite skilled at this technique."

Conan always felt familiar, but he still focused on complaining a lot. This girl was younger than him, so the elementary school student's words had a bit of a preaching flavor.

"Why do you learn this kind of thing? You should study hard at your age..."

"Didn't that annoying guy just say that I was recommended to high school, and Hakodate Viola Girls' High School is a famous school for young ladies in Hakodate. It's very profitable to go to higher school."

Orange bent down and squinted his eyes, flicked Conan's forehead and face, glanced at the belt and shoes with some fear, and then turned to push open the wooden door.

Until now, even she couldn't think of stopping others and wanted to find out what was going on in this underground space.

Accompanied by the old sound of the wooden door, the two of them looked inside through the crack in the door. From here on, there are fewer traces of manual excavation. Whether it is a road or a downhill, they are all dirt roads.

The space behind the door extends downward and is not very high, only fifteen meters high, so Conan's watch can shine down to the ground. Together with the two's mobile phones, the space behind the door is clearly illuminated.

This seems to be a natural cave, but it has been artificially repaired. Walking along the curve of the earth slope, it is the last torii they saw here. The torii stands alone on the ground, only matching the small wooden shrine behind it. , looks extremely weird.

Going downstairs, in addition to the torii gate and shrine, Orange also found steel bases with mirrors placed in several locations. The mirrors were clamped on a turntable and could rotate up, down, left, and right without any dead ends.

"That shrine."

Conan stood in front of the torii gate and was about to see what the shrine looked like. However, he stepped on something. The torii gate behind him actually threw a long hard whip and hit him, causing Conan to feel intense pain.

Seeing that Orange was about to walk in, he hurriedly reminded him when he saw Torii move again. Just as he was thinking that he was too late, he saw that Orange just kicked on the ground and dodged the attack.

"This thing is of no use. The torii is placed here alone. If we use the trap from both sides, it will be useless."

Worried about the messy mechanisms behind him, Conan walked to the right after saying that. But as soon as he approached the wall on the right, his nose smelled a strange fragrance. His mind was dizzy, and he woke up unconsciously. He was actually standing on the bird again In the forefront.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Orange frowned: "Why have you been standing in front of the torii looking at the shrine in a daze since you came down just now?"

"Ha!" Conan was stunned for a moment. He touched the part of his body that had just been hit and found that there was no trace at all.

"Am I...in a hallucination?"

There are such unscientific things in the world, which aroused Conan's curiosity. He was wary of the position he had just stepped on. After walking two steps past the torii gate, the sound of machine sounds appeared again. This time it was not a hard whip, but a whip. A strange needle blew out of a bamboo pipe and pierced Conan's butt.

It was numb and itchy, but he was too embarrassed to put his hand into his pants and scratch it in front of Chengzi. When he was annoyed, he saw Chengzi evade the trap like last time out of the corner of his eye.

"This time I won't go back and go from the right. I'll just go in like this."

Check out the correct version one by one!

Conan took two steps away from the Torii Gate, and the next second a bamboo pole bounced up from the ground, almost hitting him in the face. But before he could be thankful that he missed this time, the great detective immediately found another problem.

The bamboo pole was about as tall as Yuuji, and a traditional Japanese doll was tied to it. It had pale skin, overly long hair, and a pair of red pupils and yellow white eyes that could move. It fell down due to gravity and happened to meet Conan's eyes.

Even if he didn't believe in the supernatural, this direct way of scaring people still made Conan's hair explode. He sighed helplessly, and then screamed loudly to adjust his mentality.

"Stop screaming!"

Orange beside him suddenly pushed him, and Conan broke out in a cold sweat. He looked up and found that there was a Torii Gate in front of him, and Orange looked at him impatiently.

"What are you thinking about staring at that shrine, so absorbed."

"..."

[Okay, okay, the third time, right! 】

Conan turned around with gritted teeth and ran in the direction he came from. The next second, he smelled the familiar fragrance again. He raised his head and saw that it was the Torii gate again.

"You..."

"I was staring at the shrine. You are weird."

He interrupted Orange and took out his cell phone. Seeing that nearly half an hour had passed since the two of them came down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

[Sure enough, the time was right. There was no supernatural event at all. It was just a trap. 】

Then he had to crack it. I don't know who set up such a disgusting trap. It's really unethical. (End of this chapter)
