The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

As they passed a locked door, Naoto Hayashi suddenly sensed something was amiss inside.

He pushed open the door and went inside, only to find that it was a small room less than three meters long and wide, but with an absurdly high height of ten meters, and a small ventilation window at the very top.

On the wall of this small room hangs a terrifying red Tengu mask!

Naoto Hayashi frowned slightly.

He did indeed sense a special spiritual aura emanating from the mask, brewing a "legend," but it had not yet taken shape.

It's still just a little bit short.

Naoto Hayashi understood that this must be because the conditions for legends to flourish in this place were insufficient.

The birth of a "legend" requires a long period of gestation, the blessing of faith, and preferably the addition of several people who die mysteriously, to have any chance of being true.

Naoto Hayashi's spirituality touched the spirituality on the mask, and soon received a vague feedback.

[As long as one more person dies, a legend will be born from the mask.]

Does it take someone else to die?

It doesn't seem too difficult?

Naoto Hayashi glanced at Conan and thought that with the kid's death-bringing nature, he would definitely bring a murder to this temple.

The young monk explained that this is a meditation room for monks who have broken their vows to meditate and reflect on their mistakes.

However, someone died here two years ago, so people rarely come here anymore.

Upon hearing about the dead, Conan immediately became interested and kept asking questions.

The two monks were vague in their explanation, only saying that the dead man seemed to be related to the legendary Tengu!

They dared not say more, and for more details, one could only inquire with Abbot Tianyong.

"It's Kiri Tengu again..." Conan rubbed his chin, feeling that there was a case brewing here.

However, since it happened two years ago, without any clues, even if he was very skilled, he couldn't find out the truth.

The group continued to visit the temple, and from the second-floor terrace, they could see a section of waterfall flowing over the railing and onto the wooden terrace.

There was a small window to the side, and inside was the meditation room they had seen earlier.

After walking around the temple, everyone was a bit tired, so they packed up and prepared to rest.

The monk Kuan Nian prepared two guest rooms for them: one for Kogoro Mouri and Naoto Hayashi, and one for Ran and Conan.

As she prepared to go to sleep, Xiaolan looked unwell and hesitated to speak, clearly still shaken by the monster "Mist Tengu" that the old monk had mentioned earlier.

However, out of consideration for her feelings, she didn't say more.

The air quality in the mountain temple was excellent, and Kogoro and Conan soon fell asleep, while Ran tossed and turned, unable to sleep as the terrifying image of the Tengu kept replaying in her mind.

Naoto Hayashi wasn't asleep either. He lay in bed, scattering the golden spiders to monitor the entire temple.

In the dead of night, when all the other monks were asleep, Xiu Nian, who wore glasses, quietly came to Abbot Tian Yong's room with wine and snacks to drink and chat with the old monk.

The old monk was in high spirits after swindling several fat sheep today, and soon got quite drunk.

The young monk Xiu Nian took the opportunity to ask him about the "Mist Tengu murder incident" two years ago. As a result, the old monk blurted out that there was no Tengu at all, and that he was the one who killed the person!

Because the monk who was killed actually tried to elope with the granddaughter of Abbot Ten'ei!

The old monk committed murder and fabricated a story that "Mist Tengu killed someone," thus not only absolving himself of guilt but also attracting a surge of visitors to the temple.

A terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted from the young monk Xiu Nian!

His face was ferocious as he growled in a low voice, "The monk you killed was my own brother!"

The old monk was so frightened that he sobered up and turned to run away, but Xiu Nian strangled him to death with a rope around his neck!

Various forms of intangible spirituality emanated from the old monk, some of which vanished into nothingness, while others drifted out and were absorbed by the celestial dog mask hanging on the wall in the meditation room!

Boom!

In the soul world, a burst of intense light erupted from the Heavenly Dog Mask, and the image of a huge, red-faced, long-nosed, fanged, and winged "Heavenly Dog" appeared!

A legend has been born!

Chapter 76 Are the killers no longer trying to hide their identities?

The world of the soul.

A deafening roar shook the heavens, and flames filled the sky.

A gigantic phantom of a celestial dog pierced through the room and stood upright in the void.

However, all of this happened in another world that humans could not perceive, and apart from Lin Zhiren, no one at Shanni Temple noticed anything unusual.

From the corner, a small golden spider leaped out, followed by a silvery phantom that flew through the air and disappeared into the spider's body.

The spider swelled up and transformed into a long-haired beauty wearing a black bodysuit!

It is Naoto Hayashi's moonlight clone.

She moved with light, silent steps, like a cat, to the red mask and gently removed it.

A strange spiritual energy, imperceptible to humans, emanated from the mask and coiled around the arm of the moonlight clone.

However, the Moonlight Doppelganger was not human, and those eerie spirits, after entangled themselves on her, simply disappeared back into the mask.

……

Meanwhile, Ran, who was suffering from insomnia, felt the urge to urinate, but was afraid of the "Mist Tengu," so she could only wake Conan up and accompany him to the toilet.

Speechless and confused, Conan followed along, standing guard outside the toilet.

Meanwhile, the young monk Xiu Nian, carrying the old monk's body, quietly arrived at the meditation room, unlocked the padlock on the door, and went inside.

However, he immediately froze in his tracks.

The room, which should have been empty, now had a black figure standing inside. Judging from her curvaceous figure, she seemed to be a beautiful woman.

But the other person suddenly turned their head, revealing a terrifying face with a long red nose!

It's a tengu!

Whoops!

A pair of enormous, seemingly real wings unfurled from behind the person!

Xiu Nian stared at this bizarre and terrifying scene, her mind going completely blank!

Then a flood of chaotic thoughts surged into my mind.

Is that Kiri Tengu?!

The legend is actually true?

The Tengu of Mist really exists, and it even appeared right before my eyes?!

How could it have a woman's body... Could it be a female tengu?

Doesn't this thing have male and female versions?

What the hell am I thinking?!

I'm going to die...

Xiu Nian took a deep breath, then let out a heart-wrenching scream!

"what----!"

He turned and fled, completely forgetting that he was carrying a corpse on his back.

The screams echoed throughout the entire Shanni Temple, instantly waking everyone from their sleep.

Xiao Lan, who was still using the restroom, was so frightened that she also screamed.

Conan, who was outside the toilet, was also startled. Without thinking, he shouted, "Ran-neechan, what's wrong?" and rushed into the toilet.

He was then kicked in the face and sent flying backward.

Fortunately, Ran saw it was Conan at the last moment and stopped using 99% of her strength.

Otherwise, this kick could send Conan flying from halfway up the mountain to the bottom!

"Conan! Are you alright?" Ran ran out of the bathroom and hugged Conan tightly.

Conan stood up, covering his nose, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ran-neechan, I'm fine..."

As they were talking, they heard heavy footsteps approaching.

The two turned their heads and saw the young monk Xiu Nian carrying an old monk on his back, running wildly towards them!

The old monk on his back had wide-open eyes with blood flowing from the corners of his eyes, a long tongue sticking out, and a bluish-purple face; he was clearly dead.

The young monk Xiu Nian's face was contorted, his teeth bared, as if he had gone mad.

Upon seeing this, Xiaolan screamed in alarm again!

Conan was also terrified.

In the cases he had encountered in the past, the murderers had basically disguised the bodies in various ways, designed traps and schemes to mislead detectives and police, or created numerous alibis.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone running wildly while carrying a corpse on their back!

Do not……

Ya uncalculated.

The last time I encountered the bandaged man at Sonoko's mountain villa, he was running wildly down the villa's corridor before being captured on the spot, and the victim's head was still in the room.

And this time, is he running frantically while carrying a corpse on his back?!

Are all the murders I've encountered recently this crude?

What's wrong with this world?

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri, Naoto Hayashi, and several other monks rushed out to check the situation.

Under the watchful eyes of so many people, Xiu Nian carried the corpse and ran over, howling.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I supposed to do?

In the end, it was Kogoro Mouri who reacted first, catching up with the young monk Shunen and slamming him heavily to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

The old monk's body also fell to the side.

The others gathered around, staring in shock at the old monk's body.

"It's the abbot!"

"Xiu Nian! Why did you..."

"Are you crazy? What are you doing?"

Xiu Nian trembled all over, and upon seeing the stench of blood around her, she cried out in terror, "The Mist Tengu! It's the Mist Tengu! It's here! I see it! It's right there... It's going to kill me..."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Foggy dog?

Isn't that a mountain legend?

Did Xiu Nian really see the Mist Tengu?

Someone hesitated and asked, "Isn't it Xiu Nian Shark, but Kiri Tengu?"

Kogoro Mouri frowned, his gaze sharp, and said, "Stop talking nonsense! You think you can escape punishment from the great detective Kogoro Mouri by relying on ghost stories? Absolutely not!"

Everyone fell silent, terrified by Kogoro Mouri's imposing presence.

The group protected the body and the scene, waiting for the police to come and examine the murder weapon and the fingerprints on the body to confirm whether the murderer was Xiu Nian.

Listening to everyone's conversation, Xiu Nian suddenly burst into tears and knelt down with a thud.

"No, no need. It was my shark. I killed the abbot..."

Amidst the stunned gazes of the monks, Xiu Nian recounted her reasons for committing the murder.
