Chapter 381: Cave Adventure
Ashara's words are like Dr. Agasa's jokes, but the cooling ability is better.
Belmode's smile quickly solidified on his face.
She quietly put down the vegetable sink in her hand, and her wet hands quietly clenched into a pair of taut claws, slowly reaching for Gray Yuanai's face full of provocation.
The anger suppressed in her heart seemed to be uncontrollable.
"That's weird..."
Belmode laughed out loud.
In the end, she just used her hands stained with vegetable washing water to unceremoniously pinch the soft flesh of Gray Yuan's soft face.
Feeling the collagen-filled youthful soft touch on Miss Gray Yuan's face, she squinted her eyes, and a defiant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"Do you think age makes me angry?"
"No matter how old I am now, at least, I won't have premature hair loss like Dr. Asasa..."
"It's you, Dr. Miyano."
Belmode condescendingly taught:
"Take care of it."
"Otherwise, in less than twenty years, you will be 'older' than me."
Gray Plains: "......"
When Belmode said this, her young man's little sense of superiority really disappeared.
She's just a female scientist, but the other party is a female goblin...
Gray Yuan Ai imagined for a moment that twenty years later, like Dr. Asasa, he would become Obasang early because of his excessive use of his brain in scientific research.
But Belmode still looks like an 18-year-old girl, dangling by Lin Xinyi's side every day.
It's horrible!
Gray Yuan immediately decided that after the antidote was developed, he would never stay up late to do experiments again.
After all, scientific research is not as important as appearance.
Perhaps, though... Can you try to develop an elixir for yourself?
Gray Plains' scientist mind began to diverge into strange and dangerous places.
Admiring her silent and tangled expression, Belmode quickly curled the corners of her mouth slightly in a happy mood.
Then the terrible witch turned her head in satisfaction and went on with her washing of the vegetables.
"Uh... That..."
Lin Xinyi cautiously came up.
Gray Yuan Ai just said such a direct thing, but Belmode just lightly mixed with Gray Yuan Ai and brought the matter over, without the slightest intention to be angry.
He seemed to be encouraged by Belmode's "generosity":
"Teacher, if you ask about your age, won't you really be angry?"
Belmode's action of washing vegetables came to an abrupt end again.
She turned her head and looked at Lin Xinyi.
Lin Xinyi's face was full of innocent curiosity - he really wanted to know how old his supposedly old teacher was.
Is it an old aunt with a long shelf life like Concubine Mile and Yukiko, or... The existence of an even more ancient science.
"It's okay, I'm not going to be angry..."
Belmode twisted his head back, smiled and continued to wash his head.
Click, click, click... The vegetables were torn apart and crumbling under the seemingly delicate palms.
"Uh..."Lin Xinyi realized that something was wrong: "Teacher... Is it really okay? โ
"It's okay."
Belmode's smile makes people feel like a spring breeze:
"I wasn't angry when that little ghost said such an excessive thing just now, did I?"
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Gray Plains.
Lin Xinyi also subconsciously forgot the past:
I saw the face of Miss Gray Yuan, and at some point, a hot red appeared.
"Shhh
A moist light welled up in his big eyes, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Bastard, asshole...", she tried her best to control herself, not wanting to show that crying childish look in front of her boyfriend.
But in the end, Gray Yuan's tears still flowed more and more in the whining sobs, crying and crying, and even the wet little nose was swollen.
"It's... How? โ
Lin Xinyi turned his head in astonishment:
I saw that Belmode had already vacated his pair, and he had just wiped his hands on the face of washing vegetables and water not long ago.
She casually put aside the dishes she had washedโ
The washing basin was full of chili peppers.
"I'm really not going to be angry."
"Boy, you can ask if you want."
Lin Xinyi: "......"
He wanted to slap himself in the big mouth.
Syllable!
There was a crunch.
A flock of birds arose in the woods.
The "family of three" who were busy arguing before, were all stunned.
Except for the little lady who was still pitifully wiping her tears, Lin Xinyi and Belmode both raised their heads suddenly, and looked solemnly at the direction where the voice came:
"It's... Gunshots?! โ
.......................................
Not so long ago.
Dr. Asa and Caesar's "firewood gathering team".
Although Lin Xinyi said that it is best not to go too far to collect firewood, it is best to stroll around the camp.
But children can't control their legs.
After a while, they moved a little away from the camp and walked deeper into the forest.
Because the children were not too far away from the camp, not to mention how dangerous it was, Dr. Asa did not stop him, but carefully accompanied and supervised him.
In this way, Conan, Ayumi and others walked through the woods like explorers, and soon made a major discovery on the other side of the forest:
"What a big stalactite cave..."
The group found a cave on the side of the mountain.
The cave was so large that the entrance could be walked in by several adults.
It was pitch black inside, and with the sunlight shining through the hole, there was no end in sight.
Outside the cave, a blockade was erected with wooden stakes and ropes, and a warning sign "Do not enter" stood on the blockade.
There is also an old stone tablet standing at the entrance of the cave, the handwriting on the stone tablet has been corroded by time and blurred, but the words can still be vaguely seen:
"Tokugawa Secret Gold Treasure..."
"Secret?"
"Gold?"
"Treasure?"
These eye-catching words instantly captured the hearts of Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Motota, the three little adventurers.
They instantly forgot the warning sign that said "Do not enter the danger", and shouted excitedly:
"We've found a secret treasure of gold!!"
"Hey, hey..."The corners of Conan's mouth twitched violently:
"If the shogunate really hid the gold treasure here, why would they still erect a monument here?"
"'Secret Treasure' is written on the door, is that still a 'secret'?"
Detective Conan complained sharply.
But his three friends are still in high spirits:
"Let's go, let's go treasure hunting!"
"Oops... Wait a minute! Dr. Asa braced his round body, struggling to keep up.
But it didn't make time.
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Motota, they have turned on Dr. Agasa's special watch flashlight, and like the protagonist in a horror movie who picks dangerous places to visit, they face the warning sign of "Danger Do Not Enter" and sneak in excitedly.
Seeing that they were about to go into the depths of the cavern that did not know what existed.
Not only could Conan not be able to stop them, but he even wanted to go in and explore.
At this critical moment...
"Woohoo!!"
Caesar stepped forward in time.
It jumped up from behind Yuan Tai and the others, jumped over its head, landed, turned around, bared its teeth, and fixed these little ghosts running around with some scary eyes:
"Woohoo!!"
"Hmm," the children were terrified.
The previous Caesar was like a gentle big brother who was entertaining relatives, although he was tall and strong, but his personality was gentle, warm and patient, and he would not get angry when he was harassed by a bear child.
But now, it showed its white fangs and put on a majestic posture.
And Caesar is heavier than Ayumi and Mitsuhiko combined, and he is not inferior to Motota Kojima.
was blocked by such a fierce dog, Ayumi and the others were so frightened that they trembled and didn't dare to take another step forward.
They began to shrank backwards.
But Caesar was still barking.
It's just a different direction.
It turned and barked into the depths of the deep cave, as if to signal to everyone that some terrible monster was hiding inside.
"Thisโ" Conan was vaguely aware of something.
With the light from the flashlight, his eyes inadvertently noticed the ground inside the cave:
Most of the inside of the cave is bare rock, and there is no trace of it with the naked eye.
But there was still a small patch of ground covered with moist dirt.
There was a messy but clear trail of footprints on it.
"There's someone in the cave..."
"The footprints are fresh โ they may still be inside!"
Conan was quick to come to this obvious conclusion.
Immediately afterward, he subconsciously carefully observed the shape of those footprints.
Conan didn't have such a habit before.
But after secretly learning the trace inspection technique from Xiaolan, he also mastered the knowledge and means of analyzing footprints.
Although he was very reluctant to admit that he lost to Lin Xinyi... But the forensic science and technology that Lin Xinyi used, especially the knowledge of trace examination, are indeed very useful to detectives.
It's a pity that Hawaii doesn't teach.
Otherwise, he would not have indirectly become Xiaolan's "student", not only did he have no status in the family, but he was also 2 generations younger than Lin Xinyi in terms of seniority in the "teacher's door".
With this subtle feeling, Conan quickly entered detective mode and read the clue from the messy footprints:
"At least two people."
"Or maybe three."
"No..."
Conan's little face gradually became full of solemnity:
"Maybe there will be four people in the cave."
"But there's a guy in there... Probably a corpse. โ
