Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

Yin Kong grinned, a wicked smile spreading across his face.

"Of course—stay here with me forever."

Genta still looked completely puzzled:

"What does it mean to stay here forever?"

"what--!"

Mitsuhiko's scream interrupted everyone's thoughts. He suddenly seemed to be electrocuted, and with a "clang," he threw the mirror in his hand away.

Seeing Mitsuhiko sitting on the ground, terrified and pointing at the broken mirror, unable to speak, Conan immediately grabbed his shoulder and asked:

"What's wrong, Mitsuhiko? What happened?"

Mitsuhiko was trembling all over, and you could clearly hear his teeth chattering as he spoke.

"Mirror, mirror, the one in the mirror... giggle... just, just... giggle... scissors, and won, won, won... and even smiled at me!"

Did the reflection in the mirror win over you and even smile at you?

Conan looked on in disbelief. How could this be?

He quickly picked up the shattered mirror and found that it was indeed just an ordinary mirror, with nothing unusual about it.

"Mitsuhiko, are you sure you didn't see it—Mitsuhiko? Mitsuhiko!"

To Conan's utter shock, he discovered that in the blink of an eye, Mitsuhiko, who had just been sitting on the ground, had vanished without a trace.

"Ah!" Not only that, Ayumi also immediately screamed, "Conan, Genta is gone too!"

Conan turned around and found that Genta's clown card and baseball bat were still in the same place, but Genta had disappeared silently, just like Mitsuhiko.

Conan immediately felt a chill run down his spine and looked sharply at Yin Kong, only to find that the kind and friendly smile on his face had become both eerie and terrifying.

Chapter 169 Conan's Wavering

"what have you done?!"

Conan had already shielded Ayumi behind him and secretly aimed the scope on his watch at Yin Kong in front of him, while cautiously observing his surroundings, trying to find clues about the mysterious disappearance of his companions.

Although he had been watching Yin Kong's movements closely and was quite certain that the suspicious bald man had stood still the entire time without moving, anyone could see that Mitsuhiko and Genta's sudden disappearance was definitely related to him.

"A bet's a bet, isn't that common sense, kid?"

Yin Kong smiled slightly, and the demonic flames danced gently on the candle.

On the wall behind him, a huge, grotesque shadow, like that of a demon, was projected.

Upon seeing this, Conan immediately issued a warning.

Even he had never experienced such a bizarre scene, so every move Yin Kong made brought him unprecedented pressure.

Naturally, Yin Kong did not take his warning to heart.

The anesthetic needle shot out from between Yin Kong's eyebrows. In the dim light of only candlelight, an ordinary person probably wouldn't even be able to catch that fleeting silver light.

However, at this moment, Yin Kong could easily block even sniper rifle bullets, let alone this watch-shaped tranquilizer gun with a rate of fire that was less than half that of an ordinary pistol.

He didn't even need to lift a finger; the magical cat had already used its magic to stop the tranquilizer dart.

The little guy's eyes darted around, and then he fired the tranquilizer dart again, embedding it into the wall behind Yin Kong.

“You don’t need to be so nervous. I’m not like those unscrupulous guys. I’m very law-abiding.”

Yin Kong smiled slightly and took a step forward, saying:

"We should now face one last challenge: Who am I?"

How could I possibly know who you are?

Ayumi, who kept backing away, finally bumped into the desk behind her.

The group photo that was originally on the desk was also smashed down with a "thud".

"This, this, this is—"

Conan's eyes widened instantly as he looked at the photo that had slid down in front of him.

The photo shows a middle-aged couple and a young man with a mole near his eye—a very typical family of three.

If there are no surprises, they should be the family that used to live in this villa.

But the bald man looking at them with a strange expression now looks exactly like the male owner in the photo.

No! This is the same person!

But if Conan remembers correctly, the bald man who was the male owner should have been killed by the robbers who suddenly broke in five years ago.

Then, his wife and son chose to move away, and the villa gradually became an uninhabited haunted house.

If that's the case, then who is this guy standing in front of me now?

Or rather, what is it?

Even though Conan has always been a staunch atheist, he still felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Yin Kong smiling almost exactly like in the photo.

"Could it be that you are the ghost of that old man?"

Ayumi finally remembered where she had seen this bald man before, and was so frightened that she fell to the ground, completely unable to move.

Upon hearing this, Yin Kong immediately adopted a regretful expression:

"You got it right, little one. You're lucky."

Upon hearing Yin Kong "admit" her identity, Bu Mei's face turned deathly pale with fright.

How could that be? How could ghosts exist in this world?

Conan also looked like he was questioning the meaning of life.

As a detective aspiring to become the next Sherlock Holmes, he could never believe that such an absurd thing existed in the world!

"Since you guessed correctly, I can't stay any longer. Remember to come visit me again next time, kids! There'll be treats!"

Conan shouted, but the [Barbatos Childhood Form] had already extinguished the demonic fire instantly, just as Yin Kong had instructed, plunging the room back into darkness.

When the famous detective hurriedly turned on his flashlight, he found that Yin Kong's figure had indeed disappeared without a trace.

All that remained was a bowl of steaming hot curry rice, emitting an enticing aroma.

Conan found it unbelievable and checked the surroundings, but indeed found no trace of anyone else.

"Conan, have we encountered a ghost?"

Ayumi's face turned pale, and she asked in a terrified tone.

"Don't be afraid, Ayumi, you have to believe in science. There are no ghosts in this world." Conan let out a soft breath, temporarily suppressing his fear. "There are ghosts, but they are just bad people pretending to be ghosts."

Yes, that must be the case.

Those things you can't figure out must have involved some special methods that you haven't even guessed yet.

At this moment, Conan could only convince himself in this way.

However, a small voice in his heart still kept questioning him.

If they were truly charlatans, why would they be let off so easily just because they answered the questions?

"But just now—"

"That should just be the effect of makeup. After all, the lighting here is very dim, so as long as it is 80% similar, it is enough to achieve a lifelike effect."

Conan guessed.

The image of his mother, Yukiko Kudo, immediately came to mind for the famous detective.

If he hadn't witnessed similar disguise techniques firsthand, he would have found it hard to believe that such advanced technology existed in the world.

However, while disguise could explain the resurrection, many mysteries surrounding his recent experience remained unsolved:

Mitsuhiko lost a game of rock-paper-scissors to his reflection in the mirror, and then there was the sudden disappearance of both of them, and this bowl of curry rice that smelled incredibly tempting—

"Ayumi, are you still hungry?"

Upon hearing Conan's words, Ayumi immediately nodded:

"Yes, I'm still very hungry."

Having gone through so many terrifying things, she was naturally cold and hungry.

Even though her stomach was growling with hunger, and even without Conan's reminder, she didn't dare touch the steaming curry rice in front of her.

Fortunately, they actually brought a bunch of snacks with them.

"What are you looking for, Conan?"

While Ayumi was carefully munching on a chocolate bar, she noticed that Conan first carefully put the photo, the broken mirror on the ground, and the bowl of curry rice into his backpack, and then carefully felt around on the opposite wall with a flashlight.

What Conan is looking for, of course, is the tranquilizer dart he fired.

If the bald man was actually wearing a thick human skin mask, then it wouldn't be surprising if the anesthetic didn't work.

Suddenly, Conan's gaze froze.

Because he had discovered a familiar anesthetic needle, quietly embedded in the wall.

"This is impossible!"

Chapter 170 Rekindle fighting spirit

"This unscientific!"

Upon seeing the tranquilizer dart nailed to the wall, Conan couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

He quickly turned around and shone his flashlight in the direction he had fired.

Based on the trajectory of the shot, unless the tranquilizer dart went straight through Yin Kong's head, it would be impossible for it to be stuck here.

But how is this possible?

Even Conan could no longer convince himself that this was some kind of special magic trick.

Could it be that there really are ghosts?

For a moment, Conan felt that the solid worldview he had built up over the years was crumbling and was showing signs of collapse.

"Conan, what's wrong? What should we do now?"

Seeing Conan standing there frozen in place, not saying a word, Ayumi quickly asked.

"No! It must be that I just haven't found an explanation yet!" Conan barely managed to calm himself down and said in a low voice, "Anyway, Ayumi, let's get out of here first."

He thought for a moment, then moved a chair to block the study door, and then pushed open the window, gesturing for Ayumi to climb out with him through the window.

Although it's still pouring rain outside, compared to the hidden dangers inside the villa, catching a cold from the rain is nothing.

At least, let's send Ayumi out first.

"Ayumi, I remember there's a public phone booth at the intersection. Call the police as soon as you go out, okay?"

Conan whispered a warning.

As for him, he would naturally return to the villa to investigate, since Genta and Mitsuhiko were still missing and their fates unknown.

Both of them moved carefully, clinging to the corner of the wall, trying their best to avoid getting rained on.

With Yin Kong listening in, the subsequent developments clearly did not meet his expectations.

When Conan tried to return the way he came, he was shocked to find that the flip-door they had sneaked through was now locked.

"Damn it, how could this happen?!"

Conan finally lost control of his emotions and punched the wall.

If he were still the size of a high school student, he might be able to form a human ladder to help Ayumi get out.

But now, even if there are no hidden dangers in this villa, they are already completely trapped inside.

Even if you shout for help, your voice will be completely drowned out by the torrential rain, and it may even bring danger.

"Don't worry, Ayumi, I'm fine."

Noticing Ayumi's frightened expression, Conan immediately patted her head and comforted her:
