"The King in Yellow?"
Qin Zhibo mentioned this word, which made Conan feel a little familiar.
Previously at the mansion of the president of Ghana Music Company, Conan saw Qin Zhibo taking away a book called "The King in Yellow".
Conan looked up at Mao Lilan, who was not far away looking for matsutake mushrooms in the forest with three little ones, and his mind recalled the experience a year ago.
A year ago, he had just finished his final exams and took Mao Lilan to travel to New York, USA, and solved the first murder in his life on the plane.
From then on, my cheating life got out of control...
After getting off the plane, Yukiko picked herself up and Maori Ran and headed to Broadway's Ghost Theater.
There, I met actress Sharon Wynyard and watched a stage play.
The name of that stage play is "The King in Yellow".
It's just that the play was not finished. Halfway through the performance, the actor who played "The King in Yellow" was killed by an actress on stage. The motive was that the actor wanted to star in a movie, killing "The King in Yellow". King" role.
When the actress said like a fanatical believer, "He clearly knows that I have fallen in love with the role of 'The King in Yellow' to the point where I can't help myself," everyone present was stunned.
The King in Yellow...
"Is the 'King in Yellow' you're talking about a stage play?" After finishing his recollection, Conan raised his head and asked.
This made Qin Zhibo feel shocked in his heart.
Conan actually really knows...
"The King in Yellow" is essentially the script of a stage play. I didn't expect that Conan even knew this. He was a bit too "knowledgeable".
However, Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and did not continue to ask. He just shook his head indifferently.
"no…"
"I just said it casually."
Looking at Qin Zhibo's dull expression, Conan wanted to ask something else, but Moto Kojima over there had already complained.
"It's so annoying! The uncle at the hotel said that there are a lot of matsutake mushrooms growing here, but he didn't even see any of them!"
Genta Kojima turned into a stupid groundhog and dug hard into the soil under the roots of the tree with his hands, without considering that it was impossible for matsutake mushrooms to grow into the soil.
On the other hand, Mao Lilan didn't put in much effort and picked two matsutake mushrooms just by luck. Seeing that Yuantai was unhappy, she said gently: "Yuantai, how about I give you these two matsutakes?"
"No! What's the point if you didn't find it yourself!" Yuantai was interested in food and pursuit, and retorted: "Matsutake ranks first among the food values in autumn. If you can eat one picked by yourself, it will be so great. It’s really great…”
At this time, Haibara Aike, who heard the news, said: "The Japanese were the first in the world to pursue matsutake. In ancient times, only the royal family and nobles were eligible to enjoy it. In the Edo period, only wealthy commoners used it. It shows its identity and is called a 'magic mushroom'."
"Legend has it that in the land after the atomic bomb destroyed it, the first plant to grow out of the land was matsutake..."
Mao Lilan, who was next to him, nodded in agreement, "I seem to have seen this on TV. It is indeed such a thing."
Mao Lilan originally thought that she could gain Hui Yuan Ai's approval and enhance her relationship with this somewhat cold child, but Hui Yuan Ai "changed her mind" again.
"However, I think it's good to just listen to legends like this. Even if the first matsutake does grow on the land after the nuclear explosion, it may not be edible, and there may still be terrible radiation left on it. ..."
This extremely high-quality rebuttal made Mitsuhiko's head tremble and he felt a little heartbeat.
The history of matsutake mushrooms, nuclear bombs, radiation...she understands it so well!
In Mitsuhiko's eyes, Haibara Ai, who was already somewhat cute, had an aura of knowledge attached to her.
Also watching Haiyuan Ai was Qin Zhibo, but Qin Zhibo did not yearn for Huiyuan Ai, but simply thought that he had swam in the sewage after the nuclear bomb explosion.
Haibara Ai seems to be studying biology, so we should find an opportunity to ask her how to confirm whether she has been exposed to nuclear radiation. This will be safer.
Conan, who is also the "God of Knowledge", did not feel that the knowledge Haihara Ai mentioned was anything beyond the general scope. When he turned around, he found that Mitsuhiko and Qin Zhibo were paying attention to Haihara Ai at the same time.
Conan: "..."
Qin Zhibo's expression is normal, but brother Guangyan's expression is a bit...
"Young, you are blushing..."
Qin Zhibo turned his head and noticed something was wrong with Guangyan's expression.
"I don't have it~" Mitsuhiko blinked and looked away in embarrassment.
Seeing this scene, both Conan and Qin Zhibo realized that this child was in love.
"It's not good to fall in love early. Listen to your uncle and don't fall in love early. It will delay your studies..." Qin Zhibo advised in the tone of a Chinese parent.
Conan blushed on the side, remembering the time when he and Mao Lilan fell in love at first sight when they were in kindergarten.
"Ahem... Well, actually, it's okay for a child to have a new love, but it depends on who is right..."
"Isn't it Huihara Ai you are looking at?"
Qin Zhibo and Conan are like parents, saying something to each other makes Guangyan lose his ability.
"Ah! Actually, I don't mean anything else..."
Before Mitsuhiko could quibble, Conan put his hand on Mitsuhiko's shoulder and warned him in a deep voice: "Mitsuhiko, listen to me, it's not that I'm throwing cold water on you, it's better to give up on her. Haiyuan is definitely not someone you can pursue. ..."
In fact, Conan's subtext is: Give up. If you want to catch Haibara Ai, you must be able to deal with a long-haired man driving a Porsche.
Qin Zhibo, who was next to him, nodded in agreement, "Conan is right."
Mitsuhiko was a little overwhelmed by this 1V2 scene.
In the distance, Haibara Ai looked at the two people who were trying to persuade Mitsuhiko to retreat, with a big question mark popping up on his head.
Are they trying to get Guangyan to join the discussion of occultism?
...
After a while, Kojima Mota was completely exhausted and dropped his pick.
Conan timely popularized science and suggested that matsutake mushrooms are more likely to be found under red pine trees with yellow-green leaves.
After everyone got the clue, they immediately dispersed into action, and for a while the joyful sounds of harvest came from all directions.
After everyone had picked almost everything, when they gathered again, they found that someone was missing. Yuantai, who was the most arrogant, was missing.
Conan immediately analyzed based on the dirt on the barbed wire fence that Yuantai had crossed the first barbed wire fence and entered inside.
He didn't bring his detective medal and couldn't communicate, so he had to send someone out to look for it.
Qin Zhibo, who possesses the finding spell, wants to take the initiative to look for it, but the problem is that the mesh of the barbed wire fence is too small for adults to step on, and only children can climb over it.
It seems to be God's will...
In this way, the four little ones climbed up to the opposite side of the barbed wire fence in pairs and started looking for Yuantai. Qin Zhibo and Mao Lilan had to go around to the barbed wire gate to enter.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he encounters familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
