Chapter 408: Mountain Villa
A mountain forest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiaolan is invited by her friend Yuanzi to go to one of their family's villas to attend a party.
Chen Xu yawned boredly, "This Grim Reaper is really boring, did you put the target in the villa on the mountain again this time?" But that's fine, this time with the Mana Probe, we'll be able to catch him. ”
"Also, Zhiruo and Minmin, don't run around this time, just protect Xiaolan, Yuanzi, and Yuanzi's sister. I seem to remember that this plot seems to kill a lot of people. ”
"Yes, master."
Conan asked in a low voice, "You guy, talking so loudly, aren't you afraid that Xiaolan will hear it?" Also, since you know that people will die, don't you want to prevent the murder from happening? ”
Chen Xu shook his head, "Xiaolan was hinted by me that she would take the initiative to forget the conversation between us. As for those who are about to die, they will still die eventually due to the inertia of the plot. Ah, it's also possible that my memory is inaccurate, and maybe only one or two people will die. ”
For some time now, they've been searching the city for the Grim Reaper through the Mana Probe. It's just that since the Grim Reaper gave Chen Xu a warning for the first time, it seems to have disappeared, and no one seems to have a myocardial infarction through the Death Note.
According to Conan's speculation, the Grim Reaper's abilities may have been limited, and he must continue to use his original abilities only after killing the relevant characters of the plot case in front of Chen Xu.
It wasn't until two days ago that the Grim Reaper sent another postcard stating that he would face off in the mountain villa.
Chen Xu looked at this postcard and felt a little funny, originally his mission was to find the Grim Reaper, why did he suddenly become the Grim Reaper to find him to fight him? Could it be that the Grim Reaper also has a mission, and his mission goal is to kill a plot character at the end of the case?
"Strange, why haven't you seen the villa yet?"
Xiaolan looked around in front, looking for the location of the villa. She suddenly saw a man in a cloak in front of her, and hurriedly ran forward, "Excuse me, do you know which direction the villa near here is?" ”
The cloaked man turned his face and startled Xiaolan.
It turned out that the cloaked man was wrapped in layers of bandages, and his thin figure made him look like a mummy.
The cloaked man pushed Ran away and hurried towards the depths of the forest.
Conan ran up in a few steps and helped Xiaolan, who almost fell, "Sister Xiaolan, what happened?" ”
Xiaolan recounted the strange man she had just seen, and guessed that he might be someone who lived nearby.
Chen Xu looked at the direction in which the cloaked man left, and said thoughtfully: "Conan, this person seems to be a criminal, and you will find a way to catch him when you meet him in the future." Really, if it weren't for the fact that this world restricts magic, I could easily find him with a single tracking spell. ”
"Isn't it? Are you restricted from using magic? Didn't you just use your magic to control the tools in Dr. Asasa's lab? ”
Chen Xu spread out his hands, "That magic was used with the help of the Grim Reaper's rune paper. I can't use magic here myself, presumably the Grim Reaper has some kind of privilege or tool to freely use some very low-level puppet magic. ”
"So that's the case, you are in different worlds, and your abilities will be limited to different degrees. I thought that as long as I had some kind of ability, I could use it in a variety of different worlds at will. ”
"If only it could be like that."
Chen Xu explained: "In fact, different worlds have different laws, and unless you can be strong enough to ignore the laws of the world, you will definitely be limited by the laws. For example, magic cannot be used in a purely technological world, while a purely magical world is the opposite, and high-tech items cannot be used. ”
Several people continued to look for a villa while talking.
Eventually, they found a drawbridge. On the other side of the suspension bridge is the villa of the Yuan family.
"Ah, Xiaolan, you're finally here." As soon as he entered the villa, the garden enthusiastically grabbed Xiaolan, "Huh? I didn't expect you to bring so many people. Wow, there's a handsome guy. ”
Yuanzi left Xiaolan and ran to Chen Xu in a few steps, "Hello handsome guy, I'm Xiaolan's classmate Suzuki Yuanzi." This party was initiated by my sister and I hope you will have a good time at the party for the past few days. Come, let me show you around my family's villa. ”
She turned her head to Xiaolan again and said, "Xiaolan, your room is on the second floor, go up by yourself." By the way, the other guests also live on the second floor, so don't make a mistake. ”
Zhiruo and Min Min glanced at each other, wanting to follow Chen Xu, and remembered that Chen Xu asked them to pay attention to protecting Xiaolan and Conan, so they had no choice but to follow Xiaolan and Conan to the second floor to determine the room first.
Xiaolan was very helpless, the garden only told her that the room was on the second floor, but did not say which room, it seemed that she had to find it room by room.
"Is this it?"
Xiaolan opened a door on the second floor and saw a fat man changing clothes inside.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I found the wrong room."
She opened another room and saw another man changing clothes, "Ah, I'm sorry, I found the wrong room." ”
When she opened the door for the third time, there was an embarrassing scene again, "Really, what's the matter with these men, have you made an appointment to change clothes collectively?" ”
Conan rubbed his head, Xiaolan is really, knock on the door before entering the room, don't you know if there is anyone inside?
"Conan, I found it, our room is here. Oh, and Sister Zhiruo and Sister Minmin's room, yours is right next to us. I told the garden before I came that she had prepared the rooms for all of us. ”
They had rested in their room for a while, when they heard the garden call them down to introduce them to each other.
The party was organized by Sonoko's older sister, Ayako Suzuki, who invited members of the four college-age film research clubs, namely the handsome Katsu Ota, the photographer Hiroki Kakutani, the props of Ryoichi Takahashi, and the president of the research club who is currently the screenwriter, Tomokako Ikeda.
After everyone got to know each other, they began to sit in the living room and chat casually.
Ayako suddenly sighed, "If Atsuko is still alive, she will definitely come here to join us in the party." ”
Tomokako Ikeda looked very disgusted, "Okay, a rare party, what do you do with a person who has been dead for more than two years?" What a disappointment. ”
Ota Katsu said sarcastically: "Yo, Tomoko, you are a celebrity now, and you don't talk the same as before." No matter what Atsuko says, they were all our best friends in the past, and after you became a famous screenwriter, did you forget our former friends? ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Ayako immediately said, "I'm going to start preparing dinner, and in the period before dinner, everyone is free to move." ”
Takahashi heard the weather forecast that it would rain at night, and he was worried that the roof might leak due to disrepair. Therefore, he decided to repair the roof as a prop master.
Tomoko Ikeda decides to go out for a walk, but Hiroki Kakutani catches up with her and wants to go for a walk with her.
Bang bang bang.
Outside, it was raining lightly.
