Chapter 482: Cursed Mask
"Trick up!"
Jiang Sheng heard the words of the short-haired maid, and was speechless in his heart, in the world of 'Detective Conan', the more strange the rules like this, the more likely it is to have a murder.
If Jiang Sheng only suspected that there would be a murder here at first, then after listening to the words of the short-haired maid, he could be sure that there would definitely be a murder later.
Although the crowd was a little furious when they heard the twin maid's words, they hesitated for a moment and decided to follow the strange rules here.
When Jiang Sheng and the four of them followed the short-haired maid into the entrance on the east side, they were attracted by the various masks hanging on the walls of the hall at first glance.
"There are so many masks here!"
Mao Lilan looked at the masks with different expressions, and said with some fear: "But these masks look so strange!" ”
"Because Ms. Su Fang likes to collect all kinds of masks." The short-haired maid explained with a smile, and continued to walk towards the second floor with Jiang Sheng and them.
After going up to the second floor, the short-haired maid pushed open the door connected to the east wing room and smiled, "Four guests, this is the masquerade hall where Ms. Su Fang keeps her masquerade." ”
"Squeak!"
The moment Jiang Sheng and the others entered the masquerade hall, the door on the opposite side also opened, and it was Mr. Katagiri and them who appeared in front of them.
"So this hall is connected to the other side!" When Mori Kogoro saw Mr. Katagiri and his party, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the introduction of the twin maids, Jiang Sheng's attention quickly fell on those masks with different expressions, not only are there many kinds of masks here, but there are also some very terrifying masks.
"Buzz ......"
Just as everyone looked at the masks curiously, the red curtains on both sides suddenly and slowly opened, revealing hundreds of white masks.
Although these masks look simple, the crescent-like mouth and eyes make people feel like they can see the demon imp smiling, which is a very ominous mask.
"What are these? How can there be so many? ”
Mao Lilan has always been more afraid of ghosts, and in the face of so many horror masks, she subconsciously hugged Conan tightly in her arms, allowing Conan to take the opportunity to eat a meal of tofu again.
"These are all Humble masks."
An old voice suddenly sounded, and then an old lady in a black dress with short gray hair appeared in Jiang Sheng's sight.
Ms. Su Fanghongzi, who officially invited Jiang Sheng and them to attend the charity gala, was her personal secretary.
"It's really brilliant for you to come here, I wonder what the two detectives think of my proud collection?" Su Fanghongzi walked up to Jiang Sheng and Maori Kogoro, and asked with a kind smile.
Hearing this, Maori Kogoro scratched his head a little embarrassed: "This ...... How so? ”
Jiang Sheng's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness and said, "To be honest, Ms. Su Fang's hobby, but it is a little beyond my expectations!" ”
Although Jiang Sheng and Su Fanghongzi met for the first time, when he saw that Su Fanghongzi would collect so many masks with terrifying meanings, he felt that this Su Fanghongzi should not be a real philanthropist.
Under normal circumstances, the things that a true philanthropist puts at home are also relatively kind and lovely things, but Su Fanghongzi's approach is like a monk who does not place Buddha statues at home, but places all kinds of evil ghost statues, which makes people feel very disobedient.
"Ms. Su Fang, are the Xiao Bule masks you just mentioned these masks on the wall?" Miss Nagara, a tarot card teller, couldn't help but ask out loud.
When Ms. Su Fang heard this, she bowed her head slightly with some pride: "Yes, these are the two hundred masks completed by the Spanish sculptor Shobur Conderes shortly before his death. ”
When Nagara Haruka heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said with a solemn expression: "Sure enough, it is the Xiao Bule mask that people call the cursed mask." ”
Conan looked up at Haruka Nagara and asked curiously, "Big sister, why are these masks called cursed masks?" ”
Nagara Haruka said in a solemn tone: "Because Shobur Conderes was a tragic sculptor, although he was gifted, he fell into the trap designed by his brother, and in the end, his fame, status, and even his property were robbed of nothing.
Shaw has been completely hopeless about human nature since then, as if possessed by something? He kept carving these masks, and just after he carved the two hundredth masks, he actually ended his life, and the masks scattered around him were stained with blood, and the sight seemed as if these masks were sucking his blood.
Soon after Chauvelle's death, his reputation was restored, and the masks fell into the hands of different people, but most of the people who collected them died by accident.
Later, it was said that these masks would suck the blood of their holders, and since then they have been avoided ever since. ”
"It can't be so scary!"
After listening to Haruka Nagara's explanation, Mao Lilan unconsciously increased his strength while holding Conan's arm, allowing Conan to enjoy the care of facial cleanser again.
Matsudaira Mamoru said with a worried face: "But Ms. Su Fang has collected two hundred such masks, is it really okay?" ”
Although Mamoru Matsudaira is tall and mighty, he believes in the theory of gods and ghosts, otherwise he would not have looked at Miss Nagara's divination in advance every time he played a baseball game, and then chose a lucky glove.
When Ms. Su Fang heard Matsudaira Mamoru's words, she smiled and comforted: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already asked a powerful spirit medium to take action and seal all the curses of these masks." ”
“……”
When Jiang Sheng heard this, he rolled his eyes a little speechlessly.
If Su Fanghongzi herself is an atheist, then she can collect these Xiao Bule masks, but she knows that these masks are called cursed masks, and she believes that there are really curses on these masks, so her behavior of insisting on collecting these masks can be summed up in two words, that is-death!
With Jiang Sheng's understanding of the animation 'Detective Conan', he is almost certain that if there is a murder case next, then 100% of the people who will be killed will be this Su Fanghongzi.
