The night is like ink.

Dye the world black.

The moon brings some light to the world, but compared to the boundless darkness, such light seems too weak to make people see the world clearly.

There was also darkness on board.

Perhaps deliberately, there were no bright lights on the whole ship, and it was a little dim as far as the eye could see.

Demons and monsters walk through this dim environment.

Qingming was still sitting at the bar, and the rest of the people were divided into groups to play the game designed by the organizer.

He wasn't going to play.

It was like this from the beginning, he was purely just to watch a play, he came from Huaxia to see a play, and he ran from Tokyo to this ship to watch a play.

Although it is better to watch a play in a coffee shop or in a manor.

But if he doesn't come, the aunt may cancel this operation because she is afraid of him.

It's really a performance.

But......

"Tonight, after all, people are going to die!"

Qingming shook his head.

Belmode, the aunt, was also well prepared for her own plan, and sent invitations to bring Kiyoshi, Mori Kogoro and Kudo Shinichi to the ship, so as to facilitate her actions in Tokyo.

And that's not all.

I also want to use others to do things here, at least to attract the attention of Kogoro Mori and Shinichi Kudo to the case, so that it can buy her enough time.

Even if it fails, it's nothing.

The speed of the boat is not comparable to that of the car, and even if you notice something wrong and want to get back to shore halfway, it will be too late.

"The plan is a good plan, but unfortunately, it's too troublesome!"

Qingming no longer seems to appreciate Belmode's approach.

And of course.

If he really wants Qingming to do it, he will only do it directly, and achieve his goal first, and then say, nothing else matters.

But, who made Belmode not him?

"Ahh......hh

Ayumi, who was sitting on the side, opened her mouth wide and yawned.

Then rub your eyes.

Qingming turned his head and looked at her.

"Sleepy?"

"No, it's just a little boring."

The little girl shook her head.

Originally, she thought that a costume party or something was a more interesting thing, but she didn't expect it to be a lot of people dressed as monsters playing games here, which didn't look very good.

"Ernie sauce, Ernie sauce, isn't there anything fun?"

"Hmm...... Why don't you go out and watch the stars, the weather seems to be pretty good tonight, and it's on the sea, so you should be able to see a very good starry sky. ”

"Okay!"

Regarding Qingming's proposal, Ayumi nodded and agreed without thinking about it.

Otherwise, it's not much fun.

……

Tokyo.

Nami Shimogasa and Minaho Shimogasa drove a car and left the manor.

This is Akane's request.

Because he sensed that something was wrong, he quickly let the twin maids chase him out in the car while Judy had not been away for long, wanting to get Gray Yuan Wai back.

The twin maids did not refuse either, and were happy to help her with this.

As a precaution, I drove two cars, and if I couldn't catch up, I could look for them separately, and I also wrote down the other party's car information and license plate number before.

Akane and Minaho Shimogasa together.

She was very anxious, worried, and afraid that something would happen to Gray Yuanai.

The phone was also brought out.

Tried to call Qingming, but couldn't get through.

Although she knew that there would be no signal after going to sea, Akane still felt a little disappointed.

If there is really anything, only Qingming can help her, after all, the other party is not easy to deal with, maybe it is a killer who kills people without blinking an eye, or something, with the three weak women of them, they can't deal with it at all.

So I can't contact Qingming, and Akane doesn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, if there is anything, the master will definitely come back in time!"

Minaho Shimogasa opened her mouth to comfort her.

Qingming is very magical, can do a lot of things, this is something that the two sisters know, Qingming did not hide it from them, although it will not be deliberately performed.

But after getting along for a long time, you will naturally learn this slowly.

Akane naturally understands it.

However, at this moment, understanding alone is not enough, and she can't contact Qingming, and her worries are inevitable.

And Qingming knows if this side is ......

No, wait.

Akane suddenly remembered something.

"Raven!"

“？”

Minaha Shimogasa's face was full of confusion, as if she didn't understand what she was talking about.

Akane hurriedly spoke.

"The shopkeeper will be able to spy on the city through the crows, and maybe the shopkeepers will be able to contact them through the crows."

“？”

Minaho Shimogasa still doesn't understand.

Contact Qingming through crows? How to get in touch? Is catching a crow like a mobile phone?

And if you really want to say it......

"Calm down, Miss Akane, if the master can be monitored by the crows, then maybe she already knows about this matter, and there is no need to worry about it at all."

She said so.

And such words reminded Akane.

Since Qingming is monitoring what is happening in the city through the crows, then Gray Yuan Wai was picked up by Judy at the gate of the manor, and Qingming will definitely know about it.

If you really know, then it seems that there is no need to worry.

But......

"Anyway, look around first."

"Hey!"

……

On the sea.

Kiyoshi and Ayumi came to the back deck.

The reason why I didn't go to the front deck was because I knew that something was going to happen ahead, and people who pretended to be ghosts turned into real ghosts and hurt people's lives.

"Life is so fragile!"

Qingming thought so.

The ground is also fairly clean, so sit on the ground with Ayumi and look up at this starry sky, which is much older than Earth.

It's a pity that not many stars are visible.

"It's a pity that I still want to watch the stars at night!"

Qingming shook his head.

Ayumi didn't quite understand what he was saying.

If you don't understand something, you have to ask.

"Stargazing at night?"

"Well, it's similar to fortune-telling, but fortune-telling is generally based on personal numerology, and the stars generally look at the general trend of the world."

“？”

Ayumi still doesn't quite understand.

The world is too magical, and there are so many unknowns, that people can always perceive their ignorance.

But there are also some people who think they know everything, who think they have seen through the world, and who don't know whether to say it's ridiculous or pathetic.

Let's not talk about that.

"Little girl, do you want to know your future?"

"Future?"

"Well, for example, what will you do in the future, what kind of person will you marry, etc., do you want to know?"

"Can you know?"

"Yes."

"That's pretty impressive!"

The little girl seemed a little surprised.

Then shook his head.

"I don't want to."

"Don't want to know? Why? ”

"It's like playing a game, isn't it boring if you know the answer from the beginning?"

The little girl looked at Qingming suspiciously.

This is a very normal thing, Qingming would ask such a question, which made her feel a little incredible.

"Yes."

Qingming looked at the full moon in the sky and sighed lightly.

"It's boring right now!"

Although it is said to be watching a play, many things, knowing what things are going on from the beginning, are really boring, and there is no sense of expectation at all.

It's like watching a movie.

After watching most movies once, they won't go to watch them a second time, because the plot is already known, and there is no interest in watching them again.

There are very few movies that can make people relive them over and over again.

"Sure enough, it's more fun to explore the unknown."

"Unknown world, is there?"

"Yes, there are many different worlds in the endless time and space, I really want to see it!"
