Chapter Ninety-Six: The Nightmare Repeats (2) Pretending to be crazy and stupid
Conan had figured out the pattern of "doors that open every twelve minutes" and "windows that open every five minutes", and he was thinking about how to use them to escape.
One of them gave him a headache - he was not sensitive to time. To put it simply, the hands are tied behind their backs, and they have been in a low temperature state for a long time, so there is no way to estimate the exact time. And this is likely to be fatal.
If anyone can count him down like a timer......
Conan wanted to ask Gray Plains for help. Gray Yuan's brain can hold experimental data, so she should be sensitive to numbers. However, just when Conan had this thought, he noticed that Gray Yuan's body had not stopped trembling from the beginning: "You ......"
Conan discovered that pattern, and Gray Yuan naturally discovered it, and because he found it, he was afraid—it was too imaginary to do sixteen years ago, and she was the same weak body as she was back then. But it's different from back then, it's not Kurosawa Silver but Edogawa around her.
It's strange, obviously they are all seven-year-old bodies, and Kurosawa Gin's spirit was only seven years old back then, but Conan next to her is a detective with a seventeen-year-old brain, but she inexplicably feels that Kurosawa Silver can give her a sense of security......
Her lips twitched, trying to make a sound, but she couldn't get anything out.
Kurosawa Silver read her lips: "Silvery...... Silvery……”
Conan couldn't see, and naturally couldn't see that Gray Yuan's lips were opening and closing, he just noticed the trembling of the people around him. His face changed for a while, and Kurosawa Silver saw that Conan's face was full of surprise, surprise, resentment, and excitement.
Kurosawa Silver can guess the evolution of Conan's thinking.
Gray Plains is afraid → people in the organization.
The Junior Detective Corps, kidnapped, did not die, and the invisible role of the imprisoned →APTX4869 was exposed.
Summary→ Run.
Guessed half right.
"I'm going to be able to get out. Conan grabbed Gray Yuan's hand and wrote a few words in the palm of his hand, Kurosawa Silver couldn't see the content even if his eyesight was clear at this time, but it can be speculated that it was a comforting word.
Gray Plains stopped shaking for the time being.
Conan also gave up on asking Gray Yuan to help at this time. Gray Yuan's fear of the members of the organization has long been ingrained, and his mental state must be more unstable than him, so he asked her for help...... Forget it, let's think of something else.
"Wow-"
A burst of crying erupted, directly breaking the "calm" that had been maintained in the basement for a long time.
The people in the basement were stunned for a moment, and instinctively looked at the source of the sound.
Scar's man looked over angrily.
The one who cried was the last little beggar to be delivered, and he was a very special existence among the kidnapped children.
This peculiarity is not only reflected in the identity of the child, but also in his attitude.
The scar man stared at the other party at first, and also found that the little beggar had signs of waking up, but the other party estimated that he hadn't slept peacefully for a long time, so he just lay down and slept as if he had nothing to do...... It's a wonder among the little ones who were kidnapped.
And it's no wonder.
Beggars don't feel kidnapped. Beggars have no value to be tied up.
The little beggar who knew this very well would not think much even if he found out that he had come to a strange place, he just subconsciously curled up and slept well, and then the dream finally woke up......
"Wow—I can't see! I'm blind! I'm a little blind man, wow! There's no way to find food!" Kurosawa Little Beggar Silver rolled directly on the ground, "It's time to eat! I want to eat!
Scar Man: "......"
Stunned children: "......"
For a moment, all but Kurosawa Gin's ghost crying wolf howl disappeared completely. Except for the Junior Detective Corps, the cries of the three children who were crying low were directly stifled by them.
"Kid, are you sick in the head?" scolded, "You want to eat after being kidnapped?"
"Kidnapping, kidnapping?" Kurosawa's eyes widened, he fell down in a headfirst position, and the hand imprisoned behind him trembled, unable to break free, "I was kidnapped?"
"Yes!" Scar replied angrily.
"Yes...... But why did you kidnap me, sir?" Kurosawa was dazed, "I don't have any money...... I don't have parents...... It's not pretty and can't be sold for money...... Can you let me go back, I'm hungry, I just found something delicious, I haven't eaten yet......"
"Shut up! Why is there so much nonsense! Believe it or not, I'm beating you!"
As if stimulated by this, Kurosawa shook his body, his face jumped in a hurry, and he looked scared: "Yes, I'm sorry, don't hit me! Don't hit me!" He wanted to hold his head to seek a sense of security, but he couldn't, and rolled around on the ground as if to dodge an unknown attack.
Scar Man didn't expect him to react so much, he was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, Kurosawa had already run almost two meters, and then- slammed his face against the wall.
Scar Man: "......"
He watched Kurosawa Silver roll on the ground, just rolled to Ayumi's side, hugged his head and whimpered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
"Number One!" someone roared from outside the open window, "What are you doing! Didn't you stop doing it!"
"Uh......" Scar shook his body, "he crashed into it himself." ”
"Didn't you scare him? What's the matter? Do you want to be cut into a stick by the black cat!"
"I ......," the scar man looked sad and indignant, "then what do you want me to do? How can I control this group of children if I don't beat or scold!" Do you want them to go to heaven?"
"It'll be all towed away in a while, you take it easy. The person outside the window slammed the door shut.
In fact, what has been dragged away so far is just a scarecrow.
But the unknowing children couldn't help but tremble when they heard this, and they were even more frightened.
Especially when the scar man's gaze swept over, the cold feeling that came out of thin air, as flowers in the greenhouse, they haven't been scared to pee until now.
The Scar Man glared at Kurosawa in particular.
Kurosawa desperately hid behind Ayumi: "Yes, I'm sorry......"
Ayumi's motherhood was stimulated at once. She felt that she should not be afraid at this time, and should protect the people behind her!
"It's too much, how can you bully such a child?" Ayumi was indignant.
"Imp, do you want to be beaten?"
"You—you can't beat us. Mitsuhiko gritted his teeth and stood up, "If you boss finds out, you will be punished!"
"You're still pulling it up," Scar Man twitched, then grinned, "Then give you a few punches in the stomach before they find out, they can't see it anyway, can they?"
"You!" Ayumi's face turned pale, she heard the footsteps of the scar man approaching her, she couldn't help but shrink back, just touching Kurosawa's body, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, raised her chin and looked at the scar man, "I—I won't let you hurt the child!"
Kurosawa's silver eyelids moved.
He grabbed Ayumi's clothes and said, "No, don't beat them, you, if you dare to come again, I'll just bang my head against the wall and die for you......!" Walk the talk!"
The footsteps stopped. Scar Man stopped approaching and looked at Kurosawa with a dark face. He felt that this little beggar must not be joking, if this group of children was really planning to go out and do something, he could not escape the blame, but just let him give in, this group of children will not turn back? Especially this stinky beggar who dares to threaten......
"I—I'll be quiet. Kurosawa lowered his head, "Let the young lady count the sheep with me, I will fall asleep soon, I won't be hungry when I fall asleep, and I won't be noisy......"
It's a request for no reason.
Scar Man snorted, turned his face away, and walked back to where he was.
Kurosawa let go of his hand and said softly, "Sister, I'm sorry to bother you...... Can you count the sheep with me?"
"But, of course, of course!" Ayumi's motherhood flooded again, "Let's start counting now!"
"One, two, three......"
The two young voices counted the numbers softly, so soft that they could stop at any moment, but the voice gave people a calming magic.
At first there were only two voices, then Mitsuhiko involuntarily joined, then four voices, and then five......
"Sixty-one, sixty-two, sixty-three......"
The slightly messy voice coalesced into one as time passed, and the weak murmur turned into solemn words.
Digitalization is the faith.
Anyone who opened the window again was shocked by the voice: "Number One." What are you doing?"
"It's noisy. Scar plucked out his ears, "They're better than rolling around, okay?
He was answered by the sound of the windows slamming shut.
The people who came in through the door were also frightened, but they still dragged the two children away. At this time, the children's counting voices trembled a little, but when they realized that none of the counting children had been taken away, their voices suddenly became firm, and the other two children except Conan and Gray Plains joined in the counting......
It was as if as long as they were counted, they would not be taken away and sent into the mouths of terrible demonic beasts......
The door was shut.
The counting continues.
The scar man had automatically blocked out the voice, and sat there, his cold gaze constantly glancing. For him, counting is nothing more than the psychological solace that this group of children seeks, and it is the foolishness of the weak to grasp the last straw.
As everyone knows, the strong act under the cover of the weak.
Conan's eyes lit up: Good. With someone to help with the counting, he can figure out when the next wave will come in. There is only one person in this, and he can hurry up and subdue him, and there is no worries.
Kurosawa Gin hid behind Ayumi and opened her hand pretending to be restrained, and had already helped Ayumi untie the rope that bound her - Ayumi was startled and her voice trembled, but it happened to be when one of the two scarecrows was dragged away, so after Kurosawa Gin held her down and wrote the word "calm" in her palm, Ayumi's voice returned to normal without arousing anyone's suspicion.
Kurosawa was pleased with Ayumi's reflexes.
Then the next target is Mitsuhiko. 8)
