Chapter 91

in another space.

Exiting the secret door of the laboratory, Okiya and Edogawa Conan returned to the hallway at the entrance of the main entrance.

After just a few minutes inside, the room outside completely changed.

Originally, the silk that represented holiness hung everywhere was covered in dust.

Okiya paused.

He smelled a rich fragrance in the dusty air, like a flower that was about to rot after a long time.

An ominous premonition suddenly flooded into his mind, and the man thought of something, pushed open the door and ran a few steps towards the next room.

Like the outside, the bedroom belonging to the "Holy Son" in the plot is also very simple.

He slammed open the door, and the tip of his nose immediately lingered with the smell of roses that was even stronger than before.

Properly coded, the blood that flowed from the wound turned into rose petals, covering the entire bed, and many of them fell from above, gathering into small pools on the wooden floor.

There were a few worn-out cotton dolls neatly placed at the head of his bed, and two books that had been read many times, and the memorial was generally placed around the man in the middle.

Okiya stepped over the petals to the side of the bed and pressed his hand on the other's neck.

After a moment, he had removed his hand and slowly shook his head at Conan Edogawa, who was solemn behind him.

"Already ......"

The boy who followed him frowned, only half of his words were spoken, and the rest was stuck in his throat.

"It's only been ten minutes, and we're down there, even if the murderer is well-trained, there will be a voice, or ......"

Even if it's just a virtual game, he can't accept that there is a living life in front of him to disappear.

Conan Edogawa walked over to the bedside, temporarily suppressed his emotions, and began to observe what clues were around him.

From all the clues found in the bedroom, or the clues gathered during the conversation between the two of them just now, the answer to this case is obvious.

"But why would it be...... The result? The boy frowned, as if he couldn't understand it.

Before they came in, they were told that the case that was going to happen in this annex was a game, and if it was really a detective game, the story, clues, and cases should be more complex and playful.

Now, the story here is like a page on a particularly boring book, and the answer to the case is directly on the table.

After all, the blade of the boy's knife to his neck was still in his hand.

"Maybe it's not a space built for games."

Okiya pondered for a moment before speaking, "It's more like a random memory build." ”

Everything here is more of a 'trap' for one of them than a game, but there may not be any danger in this trap.

Those of them who don't need to be chosen by the trap are placed in this randomly generated space, held back by fragments of memory for the sake of the task.

"Memories build ...... Could it be that this is what really happened? ”

Edogawa Conan subconsciously asked.

"No, I think it's more like a parallel plane."

"Parallel time and space ......?"

Conan Edogawa repeated this sentence before taking his eyes off the boy on the bed: "At first, I thought that it was us who came in and built the whole scene. ”

The boy thought for a moment and came up with another idea.

"The murals in the hallway are similar to the paintings in the museums I visited before, and the blank pages are filled in after the books on the shelves here are opened......"

And the content on the fill is also related to the books they have read, such as the page he opened before, which is the one that Mao Lilan has been reading recently.

Recalling the above, Conan Edogawa twitched the corners of his mouth.

I really don't want to admit that I saw a particularly strong sense of déjà vu from the magical stand-ins and the competition plot in it.

One of the sources of this sense of déjà vu was Okiya Pleiades bowed slightly, waiting for his next words.

Retracting his thoughts, Conan Edogawa continued, "But our memories can only fill small places, such as the contents and images in books and frames. As for the entire annex and the things inside, I'm afraid it was built by the memory of another. ”

The framework is constructed from the person's memory, and then the details are filled in by their memory. They had all acted in the incarnation of each other's memories before.

The boy frowned, "Then why is this happening......"

"Maybe it's another possible ending for himself in his memory." Okiya said suddenly.

The man's voice was low, almost murmuring.

Edogawa Conan didn't hear clearly, and when he looked up and asked again, Okiya just shook his head and stood up first, "I'll take a look around again......"

The ground shook suddenly.

"What's going on?"

The boy was startled, he quickly pushed open the door and ran out, looking down from the railing on the second floor, the surrounding walls and pillars gradually appeared a large number of cracks in the shaking, as if they were about to collapse at any time, "Oh no, Xiaolan is still in the room!" ”

He shouted several times downward, and the girl who had been arranged to rest in the room hurriedly walked out, "Conan, what's wrong?" …… Oh no, Mr. Okiya, this annex looks like it's going to collapse! ”

Before she could finish speaking, the cracks of the building expanded from the beams and columns to the walls and roofs, and the entire annex collapsed and collapsed at a rapid speed.

Fragments of the building sand and gravel fell from above, and the cracked edges began to flash red and blue shadows, making the whole building look like data that was gradually decaying.

"Let's go!"

When Okiya dodged several pieces of the fall, he turned his head and shouted, and Edogawa Conan quickly ran out, and he directly borrowed from the railing on the second floor and lightly borrowed objects and flipped down.

The boy quickly ran up to Maoriran, took her hand, and ran towards the exit of the annex.

"Mr. Okiya, come on-"

Okiya followed him, and when he just stepped out of the room on the second floor, he remembered the boy on the bed again, and paused to look at it.

The violent shaking of the ground caused the bed to shake, and the afterimage of the data confusion kept emerging.

Even the figure of the boy on the bed, who was not like the data, blurred with the flicker of the data.

The white cloth that the boy had been wearing had long since been removed, and when his eyes were closed, he had a completely different European face from that of East Asians.

When the ground shook violently again, red and blue shadows flashed, and the white robe on the boy's body suddenly turned black and blood, turning into a black kimono stained with blood.

The loose blonde hair turned black like a crow's feather, the European contours of the face softened, the eyebrows and eyes were replaced by a familiar look, and even the room with the original European classical decoration changed into a different look.

The blood that had been beautified into petals before was re-revealed, and the boy in a kimono was half-lying on the bed, and on his shoulders were two old books that had been read many times, and the cover and name looked like a travelogue.

He held the knife in his right hand, and the blood flowing from his neck ran down the curve of his arm over the sharpened blade and dripped down the floor along the blade.

It's like building it out of a person's memories and then filling it in with the memories of us, the participants. The way it is now is for him in his memory...... Another ending. ’

The words that he had guessed with Conan Edogawa suddenly echoed in his ears, and Okiya subconsciously reached out to pull the other party's hanging hand.

Before he could touch it, the boy suddenly turned into a starlight of data points and scattered in the bedroom.

The dark green pupils flashed a stunned light, and the pink-haired man settled down, and then turned his head to continue to follow the footsteps of the two in front of him, reminding them to be careful to avoid the collapse.

Through the narrow corridor, the three of them quickly left the shaking annex.

"Why did it collapse all of a sudden?"

It wasn't until he was about to run to the forest where he was in a safe position at the entrance of the annex that Edogawa Conan spoke out of breath.

Since it was a virtual scene built with memory, why did it suddenly collapse just now?

They don't seem to trigger any core mechanisms.

Okiya frowned: "I'm afraid there's something wrong with them." ”

The builders used memories and emotions to construct the entire annex, and now the entire scene and the quest characters inside cannot be maintained.

It can only be estimated to be ...... The builder's memory collapsed.

The builder here could only be Na Ikekawa, after all, using his memories.

But Okiya couldn't be sure for a while, whether this virtual space absorbed the memories of Ikekawa Na, who came in with them, and built the small space of the annex, or ......

The spaces were constructed by the boy he had seen carved out of the same mold as the other party he had seen not long ago.

If it's the latter, then what is the boy who has a common memory with Na Ikekawa?

As he pondered, the man looked at the annex behind him, and suddenly realized that in the violent shaking, this magnificent villa coincided with another old building, and for a few seconds the wide and bright windows were replaced by worn wooden curls.

This apparition that coincides with the annex is the church that Amuro Toru and Ikekawa Na entered.

Okiya narrowed her eyes, feeling a little strange.

He was standing just below a large tree, its branches blocking a corner of the building, and the sun was not visible in the sky, only the same gray-blue color covering the entire sky.

Dense woods, dark skies, he remembered that he had once sat in a car parked under a big tree, looking at the corner of the sky blocked by branches and leaves, waiting for the person inside who was stumbling on the snow leopard that was sticking to its owner.

The pink-haired man's eyes widened slightly.

After recalling this memory, the shadow of another building suddenly appeared on the annex in front of me, and it was the villa that was always dull in color.

It is better to say that the annex and the church were built based on that villa as a template.

This is obviously a trap for Ikekawa, and the scene is all constructed from the memories of the other party.

I don't know why.,The word basement that the other party inadvertently said when he was chatting with Ikekawa Na suddenly flashed in his mind.。

Basement...... Judging from the investigation just now, there should be a secret door at the other end of the second floor that leads to the same space as the basement.

Valley!

Tin!

"I'll go back."

"Wait!" Edogawa Conan hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Okiya?!! ”

Before he could stop him, the man had already turned around and ran back towards the shaking interior of the villa.
