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

"Lord Akatsuki, our president requests your presence."

Chi Chufeng turned his head slightly and saw Inaba and Dai's collar hanging down, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It was empty.

Inaba Kazuyo seemed unaware of Akatsuka's gaze, still bending over, waiting for Akatsuka's reply.

Akatsuka nodded and got up to follow Inaba and Shiro.

In the corridor, the female secretary walked ahead, swaying her hips.

There were no traces of underwear on the close-fitting short skirt.

Is this a temptation?

Why would a secretary do such a thing?

Chi Chufeng had a slight doubt in his heart.

They followed the secretary to Su Fanghongzi's private rest room.

Su Fanghongzi leaned gracefully against the sofa armrest, holding a glass of red wine in her hand.

"Lord Chichu, I didn't expect you to accept my invitation. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked the fortune teller."

Chi Chufeng smiled noncommittally.

Su Fanghongzi continued, "I would like to ask you to do something, sir. You saw those cursed masks just now. The medium who sealed them back then left behind a magic array, saying that it needs to be resealed every ten years."

"I would like to ask you to perform a sealing ritual for me, and with the help of your magic, use the original magic circle to reseal the cursed mask."

"As compensation, I am willing to pay 100 million yen."

One hundred million yen…

It's pretty average.

Chi Chufeng is not the same person he used to be.

Besides, this isn't an ordinary request. Two hundred cursed masks—that's not something that can be solved simply by casting a spell.

Furthermore, Chi Chufeng still hasn't figured out whether these cursed masks generate black energy on their own or if they can simply be eliminated.

If it's completely cleaned up, it will return to its original state after a while. If something happens then, it will ruin the reputation of the strongest Onmyoji.

"Ms. Su Fang, if I may be so bold, your set of cursed masks is definitely not something that can be solved by ordinary seals. Judging from the current situation, their seals have already been broken."

"I'm afraid you've been living under the curse of the mask all these years."

“I have two suggestions. One is that you don’t need any payment. Just give me this set of cursed masks, and I’ll take care of the rest.”

"Another one is that you will need to spend a lot of money, at least more than a billion, and I will need to study the mask carefully before I can find a way to completely remove the curse."

"As for the magic array left by the medium that Ms. Su Fang mentioned, I will not use something of such unknown origin."

Ms. Su Fang frowned deeply.

Clearly, Chi Chufeng's conditions surprised her somewhat.

In fact, although she has a large number of masks in her collection, most of them are worth around several hundred thousand yen.

Even the high-end masks displayed in the masquerade hall are generally priced between one million and two million yen, with no single mask exceeding two million yen.

Although the Cursed Mask of Shambles is very famous, it has a bad reputation, and most mask collectors would not dare to collect it.

These collectibles, though valuable, are rarely available, and their individual value is far less than 200 million.

So even if all two hundred cursed masks were priced at the highest possible value, they would only cost two or three hundred million yen.

Akatsukaze, however, demanded a sealing fee of one billion yen, several times its original value.

As for giving the cursed mask to Chi Chufeng, Su Fang Hongzi didn't even consider it.

"My lord, please allow me to consider this matter and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Su Fanghong smiled and said, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first. I hope you have a good time tonight."

Chi Chufeng was puzzled as he watched Su Fanghongzi get up and leave.

How can someone leave without waiting for their guests?

Seeing that the master had left the room and closed the door, Chi Chufeng also prepared to get up and go back.

His secretary, Inaba Kazuyo, came to him.

She sat directly on Chi Chufeng's lap, her face slightly flushed.

"Ms. Inaba, what are you doing?"

"Ms. Su Fang said that Lord Chi Chu must be thoroughly entertained..."

Chi Chufeng was very surprised.

Is this the start of seduction?

Under the guise of her actions, Inaba Kazuyo leaned on Akatsuka's shoulder and pressed her cold lips against his ear.

"Lord Chichu, save me!"

The woman's trembling voice was filled with extreme fear.

Chi Chufeng couldn't help but frown.

It seems there's more to this than meets the eye.

It needs to be investigated carefully.

A mysterious atmosphere began to permeate the room.

"Tell me, who wants to harm you?"

Hearing Akatsuka's loud question, Inaba and Dai looked in alarm toward the door behind them.

"Don't worry, no one can see what we say or do now."

Akatsukaze supported Inaba Kazuyo's waist and said calmly.

He created a realistic illusion, so that whether it was a bug or someone spying on him, they could only see the illusion he created.

Of course, what he's doing now is no different from what he's showing; only the words he says are different.

Chapter 444 The Pitiful Twin Maids

Hearing what Akachu Kaze said and seeing that the door was unharmed, Inaba and Dai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Chichu, Ms. Su Fang seems to have gone mad."

"In the past two years, she has spent billions of dollars to buy many strange and unusual things from all over the world, such as red gems, withered wooden staffs, and unknown blood."

“I saw with my own eyes that she put those things together with the cursed mask, and those things were completely swallowed up by the mask.”

"If that were all, it would be fine. The most terrifying thing is that Ms. Su Fang asked me... asked me to help her find a living person."

Inaba and Shiro were filled with extreme fear.

"A living person?" Chi Chufeng frowned slightly.

"Yes, she made me spend money to bribe those who weren't afraid of death to try on her mask, saying that as long as they wore the mask and spent one night in this villa, they would receive a reward of ten million."

“I didn’t dare to go looking for it, I just said I didn’t have it. But Ms. Su Fang, she actually forced me to wear that mask.”

"I tried to refuse several times, and it seemed I wouldn't be able to get away with it. I was terrified, feeling that something bad would happen if I wore that mask..."

Why don't you leave Su Fanghong 720zi?

Chi Chufeng frowned and asked.

“I, I dare not. Ms. Su Fang said that if I leave without permission, she will turn us into lifeless puppets and let her do whatever she wants with us.”

puppet?

Upon hearing Inaba Kazuyo's words, Akatsuka's face showed a thoughtful expression.

This sounds like puppetry.

Can the cursed mask perform puppetry?

That sounds a bit strange.

However, the name "cursed mask" implies that it brings bad luck, but it is not necessarily caused by a curse.

More than an hour later, Chi Chufeng returned alone from Su Fang Hongzi's rest room.

In the corridor, I ran into Nagara Haruka.

She was staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"Lord Akachu." Upon seeing Akachu Feng, Nagara Haruka's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over. "I heard you have a life-saving talisman. I wonder if you could sell me one?"

Chi Chufeng raised an eyebrow and glanced at her.

A fortune teller asking a Yin-Yang master for talismans sounds rather strange.

Nagara Haruka explained, her face pale, "I just did a divination for myself and drew this card."

She stretched out her slender fingers, holding a tarot card between her fingertips.
