Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

Will this thing work?

[Lightning Magic (Beginner): Summons lightning to attack the target. You must point your finger at the target to cast this spell.]

Chi Chufeng curiously tried it out, using the least amount of magic power, and pointed his fingertip at the predicted acupoint.

Nourishing.

A faint crackling sound of an electric arc passed by.

A wisp of electrical energy seeped into Ran Mouri's back, stimulating her muscles and causing them to relax instantly.

Ran Mouri's delicate body trembled slightly, and she let out a comfortable groan before quickly biting her lip, afraid to make another sound.

Her face was flushed.

That's amazing! Akachu-san is incredible!

He was able to give such a comfortable massage.

The previous soreness and weakness were completely gone; instead, a warm sensation came from my back and spread throughout my body.

Ran Mouri felt very comfortable, and before she knew it, she was sleepy.

She rested her head on her arm and drifted off to sleep.

The following evening, Akasa Kaze was reading at home when he suddenly received a phone call from Ran Mouri.

“Chichu-san, I’m so scared. My dad insists on staying in this haunted house. Can you come and keep me company?”

huh?

Kogoro Mouri is such an irresponsible father; he took his daughter to a haunted house as soon as she recovered from her illness.

"Xiao Lan, tell me the exact address, I'll be right there."

Just as Ran Mouri hung up the phone, Akasa Kaze pushed open the door and entered.

"Chichu-san!"

Ran Mouri joyfully rushed into Akaso Kaze's arms.

"I'm so scared. There was a female ghost on TV just now. It was so scary."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chi Chufeng held Xiao Lan in his arms, looking displeased.

How dare that woman pretend to be a ghost and scare me? She's asking for trouble.

Today I'll show you the methods of Onmyoji.

Ghosts, move out!

Outside the room, Conan was stroking his chin and talking about the information he had gathered about the residents.

"Besides Mr. Botan Rohiko who lives in room 1, the other residents of this apartment are Kikuji Banmachi in room 4, Iwao Yotsuya in room 2, and Yoshikazu Otonashi in room 5."

"These three people all seem to firmly believe that ghosts really exist here!"

"The reason why that old man, Mr. Otonashi Hoichi, doesn't leave here is because he feels that he is too old to care about these things."

"As for Mr. Bancho and Mr. Yotsuya, they are both devoted paranormal enthusiasts who really enjoy living in this haunted place. If we're talking about suspicious people, all three of them seem a bit suspicious and could all be deliberately creating paranormal events."

Kogoro Mori coughed lightly and said, "If you ask me, the only one who's truly suspicious is Mr. Yotsuya Iwao, isn't he?"

"Didn't he introduce himself as someone who does special photography? Maybe he deliberately creates paranormal events just to secretly film the people who are scared away, so he can use them as photographic material or something."

Conan rolled his eyes and said, "Come on! Uncle Mori, if the motive was really just to film footage or watch people get scared, why would you create a supernatural event every time someone comes by?"

"So, that guy's motive is exactly what we initially suspected: he wanted to scare everyone who came here away!"

"As for his purpose, if I'm not mistaken, it should be Tian Zhilei!"

"The burden of the fields?" Kogoro Mori exclaimed in surprise.

Conan nodded.

"The supernatural events here all started four years ago after a woman named Tian Zhilei was burned to death."

"The guy who created these paranormal events might have hidden something here that's related to the case, but he doesn't want anyone to find out, so he keeps creating paranormal events."

"Ugh, this is really a headache."

Kogoro Mouri glanced at his watch. "It's too late, it's already past 10 p.m. I'm going to the restroom. When I get back, let's go home and come back tomorrow."

He walked to the bathroom as he spoke.

After a while, a scream was heard.

Conan rushed over and saw Kogoro Mouri sitting on the floor outside the bathroom, pointing at the toilet inside in fear.

"Oh no! Blood, blood... the water in the toilet has turned into blood!"

The screams woke everyone in the apartment, and they gathered in front of the bathroom.

Kikuji Banmachi, Iwao Yotsuya, and Yoshikazu Otonashi all claimed to believe in the existence of ghosts, and they gathered together to mutter things like, "This must be the work of a ghost."

Conan then sidled up to Kogoro Mouri, asking him about the details of what happened in the bathroom, and casually checked the toilet tank, his brow furrowed.

"Uncle Mori just said that this bathroom smells terrible, and the water only turned red after he flushed. There's also a smell of alcohol in the tank..."

"This is really an interesting little mechanism!"

Conan wore a cold smile, revealing an expression that showed he had seen through the truth.

He suddenly paused for a moment.

Oh, right, where is Sister Xiaolan?

She didn't even come out when Uncle Mori screamed like that?

At that moment, in Ran Mouri's boudoir, Akazuka had just placed her on the bed.

"It's not good for us to sneak back like this..." Ran Mouri said worriedly.

"It's alright, I'll call Detective Mouri later."

Chi Chufeng wiped her forehead for her.

"Look, you're sweating from fright. You've just recovered from your illness, how could you spend the night in a place like that? Should you take some more medicine?"

Ran Mouri shook her head, then her face turned suspiciously red.

"Akachu-san, my back is a little sore again..."

Looking at her adorable face, Chi Chufeng knew exactly what she wanted.

He smiled and pinched Ran Mouri's little cheek.

"Turn around and lie down."

Ran Mouri obediently lay down.

She thought for a moment, blushed, took off her top, and buried her flushed face in the pillow.

Looking at the girl's smooth back, Chi Chufeng's lips curled up slightly as he pressed his large hands down on it.

The moment they made contact, Ran Mouri was jolted.

A large red patch suddenly appeared on her fair and beautiful back.

Wow, it's even become popular here.

Chi Chufeng's lips curled up as he began to cast a spell.

In the corridor of the dilapidated apartment, Conan and Kogoro Mouri stood at the bathroom door, staring at the eerie figure in the window with solemn expressions.

"Then, what exactly is that thing?"

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's question, Kikuji Banmachi let out a sinister laugh and replied in a chilling tone:

"What else could it be? You saw it yourself, it's a ghost seeking revenge. That must be the vengeful spirit of the woman who died in the park!"

As he spoke, Kikuji Banmachi walked to the window and chuckled.

"Let me open the window and let it in."

He slowly opened the window, and the eerie figure that had been swaying incessantly on the windowpane disappeared little by little, like a phantom, until it vanished completely.

Those around them were all astonished by what they saw.

Kikuji Banmachi also exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?" and looked back and forth out the window in confusion, his brows furrowing: "That's strange, how come it's gone again?"

"Has it left?" Kogoro Mouri also leaned out the window to look.

Yotsuya Naonori chuckled and said, "How could it possibly leave? If you ask me, it must have flown in when Mr. Bancho opened the window! Looks like the apartment is going to be quite interesting tonight!"

Conan suddenly frowned and asked, "That's strange, where did Ran go? I haven't seen her since."

Kogoro Mouri was startled and quickly turned around.

"Is she still in the room we were in before?"

The two quickly turned around and walked back into the room.
