Several people tumbled and slipped, screaming as they fell down.

Silence returned to the watchtower, leaving only a dark, bottomless hole in the ground.

Suddenly a figure appeared on the steps, and she looked at the cave entrance with a slight smile.

"I didn't expect to find the entrance to the underground palace so easily. Onmyoji, did you expect that I would follow you here again?"

The sunlight shone on her face, illuminating her gray eyes.

Pu Siqinglan took out her tools and carefully climbed down the cave wall.

Wow, they've all gone in.

Chi Chufeng, who was monitoring with his Eye of Space, curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Xia Mei, it's time for us to set off."

Chi Chufeng put his arm around the girl and walked into the castle.

Chapter 271 I'm still a child!

When the secret passage opens, Conan is positioned right in the center.

Therefore, he fell the fastest.

Of course, it was also the first one to slide to the end of the slope.

Suddenly feeling his legs dangling in the air, Conan was startled and quickly used his two little hands to grab the edge of the slope, barely managing to keep himself from falling.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness I'm quick..."

Conan silently gave himself a thumbs up.

Just as he raised his head, *smack*, a pair of large feet kicked Conan in the face.

He was instantly sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

Kogoro Mouri's voice echoed from the slope: "That's strange, I just stepped on something... Huh? Why is it hollow underneath? Ah~"

Completely bewildered, Conan fell backward and landed on the ground.

Before I could even react, I heard a whooshing sound coming from the air.

Then a huge object crashed down on him, completely covering his body.

Feeling the weight on his body, Conan felt like he couldn't breathe and started whimpering.

He let out a cry and sat up. Looking down, he saw a faint light shining down from the slope.

"Uh, is that Conan below me? I knew it, I always felt something uncomfortable down there."

Conan whimpered and weakly pushed his face against the big butt with his two little hands.

Damn it, move it away, I'm suffocating!

A series of popping sounds came from all around.

All of them fell down.

Having finally escaped from under Kogoro Mouri's butt, Conan turned on his watch flashlight and got up with a resentful look on his face.

Then I felt something flowing out of my nose.

Conan reached out and wiped it, then looked at it under the light, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Damn it!

This is a nosebleed!

He has a nosebleed!

To be honest, he was holding onto the slope and wasn't going to fall, but Uncle Mori stepped on his face and kicked him down.

Okay, he could accept being kicked off, but this uncle actually hit him directly, making his nose bleed.

I'm still a kid! Why are you doing this to me?

Beams of light also lit up nearby.

The clerk and the art dealer had both brought flashlights, clearly having anticipated the current situation.

Art dealer Inui exclaimed with delight, "I never imagined that there was a hidden secret beneath this castle. Perhaps this is where another Egg of Memory is hidden."

Kogoro Mouri frowned and looked around: "Our most urgent task right now is to get out of here first."

"Hmm? There's a rotten, broken rope on the ground. It looks like it's been there for many years. I think this rope was tied at the entrance of this slope for people to climb."

The clerk, Sergei, shone a flashlight on the ground.

Conan looked up at the slope above: "If we're talking about leaving here, the simplest way should be to climb back up the way we came, right?"

Everyone nodded, but no one was going to climb up now.

The Egg of Memories hasn't been found yet.

The Kosaka family's castle.

With a soft creak, the castle gates opened.

Akatsuka Kaze put his arm around Natsumi Kosaka and walked inside.

Before me was a spacious hall:

Natsumi Kosaka leaned against Akaso Kaze's chest as they walked into the hall, giving her an introduction.

"This castle is entirely in the German aristocratic style. The main hall is usually used to entertain guests and occasionally hosts banquets, so it's very spacious..."

"I really don't know anything about the underground palace. My grandmother never mentioned it to me."

"As for mechanisms, almost every room in our castle has one."

Chi Chufeng used his spatial eye to take a look.

There are quite a few traps inside the castle.

Although most of them are pranks or jokes, a considerable portion of them are actually murderous.

Presumably, when the castle was built, Natsumi Kosaka's great-grandfather, Kiichi, was worried that someone would come after him, so he designed those deadly traps.

"I know where the entrance to the underground palace is. Just follow me."

Chi Chufeng said.

"How did Akazu-san know?" Natsumi Kosaka asked in surprise.

Chi Chufeng pursed his lips.

Normally, he would definitely bring up the abilities of an Onmyoji.

But he had no intention of doing that with this girl.

“Xia Mei, actually I was entrusted by your great-grandfather and great-grandmother to come and save you.”

"They've entrusted your future entirely to me."

Akatsuka gently stroked Kousaka Natsumi's face and said in a serious tone.

"So that's how it is. No wonder Chichu-san is so good to me."

Natsumi Kosaka looked at Akatsuka's face and a joyful expression appeared on her face.

She had no doubt that Chi Chufeng was lying to her.

Onmyoji are supposed to communicate between Yin and Yang, so isn't it normal for them to receive requests from spirits?

Natsumi Kosaka stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to hug Akaso Kaze's neck.

Okay, she wants a kiss again.

That's just how girls are; they're too greedy.

Chi Chufeng lowered his head and complied with her request.

This Xia Mei is so easy to fool.

Chapter 272 You're My Little Pet Too

The two cuddled together for a while before continuing on their way.

Chi Chufeng used his prediction magic to lead the way to a room.

The room looked like someone's private lounge, with some photos, books, and some strange tools.

Natsumi Kosaka said, "This room was my great-grandfather Kiichi's office. When he was alive, he often worked in this room."

Chi Chufeng used a prediction spell and quickly located the entrance to the underground palace hidden on the floor.

"Hey, there's a password input device here too. Why isn't the keyboard in Japanese?"

"This is a Russian password input device. The password should be: The Magician of the End of the Century..."

Chi Chufeng was slightly taken aback.

Oh dear, but we don't understand Russian.
